Please note:
that only payed version of OsmAnd (Android) or if you have OsmAnd Subscription (Android) gives you the opportunity to use Wikipedia articles in OsmAnd for Android.
Wikipedia articles of OsmAnd for iOS is FREE.
We always strived to make OsmAnd not just your navigator, but your all-around travel guide. That's why, in version 3.0, the 'Travel guides' option has been added.
Enjoy offline guides for basically any destination. The guides are based on Wikivoyage, a community project similar to Wikipedia, where volunteer writers create articles with real and up-to-date information. Such information includes the main facts about a place, transport, landmarks, shopping spots, etc. Going to London, Shanghai or planning a visit to the Grand Canyon? Your guide is there to help you.
To start using the feature, please go to OsmAnd menu-> Travel guides. Make sure to download the travel guide file to be able to use the feature. This file is also available in Download map-> 'Travel guides' menu. Now all your guides are saved on device and you can look up any information, even if you're abroad or out of a mobile network area.
As soon as the file is downloaded, you can start using the guides. Just go to OsmAnd-> 'Travel guides' and enter the name of the city into the search field. As soon as you open the article, you'll see the information conveniently arranged by topic. The information often includes topics like 'Understand' with the details about local culture and habits, 'Talk', 'Get in', 'Get Around', 'See' that covers main places of interest, 'Buy' with the recommended shopping spots, 'Sleep', 'Drink', and 'Go next' suggesting the locations you may be interested in after visiting the current one. You can also press 'Bookmark' to have a quick access to this article later. All such articles will be saved in your 'Bookmarked articles' list.
The articles are sharable. Just press Share button in the upper-right corner and send it to your friend. That person will be able to open your link in OsmAnd directly if they have the app on their device.
You can also choose if you'd like to download the images or not, clear image cache or delete the search history. To do that, please press the 'Options' button in the upper-right corner of the screen.
The articles are available in different languages. By default, the language you're using in OsmAnd will be also picked for Travel guides. But if you'd like, you can view your article in a different one. To do that, press the translation button next to the name of the article.
For example, the article about London is available in Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German and many other languages.
Articles often contain points grouped by topic. They are available in the 'Points' menu at the bottom of the article. You'll see food locations, airports, railway stations, places to shop, main historical attractions, accommodation options, etc. To view them all on the map, please enable 'Show on map' option. The track with the points will be also available in My places-> My tracks-> Travel. To remove the points from the map, please go to 'Configure map' menu and disable the 'GPX track' option.
Besides the city guides, you can read about regions or countries, and even scroll through special guides like the list of UNESCO Global Geoparks Network or even a phrasebook of a country you're visiting. To see more exciting articles, please see the 'Explore' tab of the travel guides menu.
Wikipedia articles have been available in OsmAnd for a long time. From version 3.0 for Android, we updated the look of the pages for better user experience, added active links to the articles and also enabled images. As always, all you have to do is download the Wikipedia file (menu Download maps) for your region and enable the feature in Configure map-> Wikipedia, choose needed languages for articles. After that POI of Wikipedia will appear on the map.
You can tap on the map, after click "Details" button. Now you can see Nearby Wikipedia articles.
Custom Travel - creating your one-of-a-kind travel guide
Custom Travel tool helps you create your own travel guide and use it via OsmAnd Travel feature. Basically, you can use the text from any source (from Wikipedia to your friend's blog) and pair it with a GPX track.
To start, please prepare your files. Save your track with '.GPX' extension and the text file as '.html'. In order to create your custom database successfully, the names of the GPX file and the html have to be identical. For example, 'Milan.gpx' and 'Milan.html'.
The GPX tracks can be downloaded from the internet or you can create one (using OsmAnd or any online GPX creation tool).
For example, you can use Brouter, or a simialr one.
Add the points you'd like to visit into your route and then save that route as a GPX track. .
Preparing your GPX track in OsmAnd is also possible, you can read about it here: Plan a route.
Choosing the source for your guide's text is completely up to you. It can be an article in a travel blog, a Wikipedia page, etc. Simply copy the text, then paste it into a text editor and save it with an 'HTML' extension. Make sure to make the name of the GPX track and the HTML file identical.
Linux.
Start your console and open the MapCreator folder.
Example: cd /home/user/OsmAndMapCreator-main/
When asked to provide the path, please paste the path to the folder where you have your files prepared.
Example: cd /home/user/MyCustomGuides/
We do not recommend locating your files in the 'TravelGuideCreator' folder itself. Kindly see the 'Read me' file for step-by-step commands.
Windows. Open utilities.bat file.
Your file should be created in seconds. By default, it will be named 'travel_guide.sqlite', but you can rename it as you want making sure to save it with 'sqlite' file extension. For example, 'Milan_weekend_tour.sqlite'. After that, please transfer it to your device. Specifically, to the folder where OsmAnd travel guides are stored. You can check the path to that folder in 'OsmAnd > Settings > General > Data storage folder > Manually specified. Please copy the file there using any mobile file manager or by connecting your phone to computer. Restart the app.
After you start the app, please go to 'Travel' menu. Press Options > 'Travel book' to select your database as a source. After that, you'll be able to use search normally in order to view the articles. You'll find all the points from your GPX track in 'Points' menu. Please use 'Show on map' button to view your points on the map. You can bookmark any article to have a quicker access to it.
At first you should download the Wikipedia file for your region (app menu-> Maps & Resources-> Worldwide) and enable the feature in Map-> POI Overlay-> Wikipedia
You can tap on the map, after click "Description" button. Now you can see Nearby Wikipedia articles.

To play a YouTube video in Able Player, simply include a data-youtube-id attribute
on the <video>
element. The value of this attribute must be the video’s 11-character YouTube ID.
If a described version of the video is available on YouTube, include a data-youtube-desc-id attribute
on the <video>
element. The value of this attribute must be the 11-character YouTube ID
of the described version. If users turn on the Description button on their player controller,
the described version of the video will be loaded instead of the non-described version.
Versions 2.3.1 through 3.2.12 required a YouTube Data API key for retrieving caption data from YouTube. Get a YouTube Data API key by registering your application at the Google Developer Console. For complete instructions, see Google’s Getting Started page. Note: All that’s needed for playing YouTube videos in Able Player is a simple API key, not OAuth 2.0.
After obtaining your YouTube Data API Key, insert the following code into your HTML page:
<script>
var youTubeDataAPIKey = "paste your API key here";
var googleApiReady = false;
function initGoogleClientApi() {
googleApiReady = true;
}
</script>
<script src="http://apis.google.com/js/client.js?onload=initGoogleClientApi"></script>
Starting with version 3.2.13, Able Player no longer requires a YouTube Data API key in order to access caption tracks from YouTube. However, an API key is still encouraged, as it relies on well-documented methods from Google, whereas operating without an API key relies on methods that are not well documented, and therefore may not be reliable.
Also new in 3.2.13, Able Player now handles YouTube captions in the same way it handles HTML <track kind="captions">
elements. The display of the caption text can be customized via the Preferences menu, and the caption text is used to automatically create an interactive transcript.
YouTube does not currently support chapters, descriptions, and metadata tracks. With Able Player, these features can be added to the video using HTML <track>
elements, even if the video’s captions and subtitles are stored on YouTube. The advantage of managing captions entirely on YouTube is that you only have to manage them in one place, and they’re available everywhere your YouTube video is played.
If your video has HTML <track>
elements for captions and subtitles, these will be used instead of the captions on YouTube.
Adjustable playback rate is available for some videos.

bucky bits
`Prev `__

`Next `__
--------------
**bucky bits**: /buh´kee bits/, n.
1. [obs.] The bits produced by the CONTROL and META shift keys on a SAIL
keyboard (octal 200 and 400 respectively), resulting in a 9-bit keyboard
character set. The MIT AI TV (Knight) keyboards extended this with TOP
and separate left and right CONTROL and META keys, resulting in a 12-bit
character set; later, LISP Machines added such keys as SUPER, HYPER, and
GREEK (see `*space-cadet keyboard* <../S/space-cadet-keyboard.html>`__).
2. By extension, bits associated with ‘extra’ shift keys on any
keyboard, e.g., the ALT on an IBM PC or command and option keys on a
Macintosh.
It has long been rumored that bucky bits were named for Buckminster
Fuller during a period when he was consulting at Stanford. Actually,
bucky bits were invented by Niklaus Wirth when *he* was at Stanford in
1964--65; he first suggested the idea of an EDIT key to set the 8th bit
of an otherwise 7-bit ASCII character). It seems that, unknown to Wirth,
certain Stanford hackers had privately nicknamed him ‘Bucky’ after a
prominent portion of his dental anatomy, and this nickname transferred
to the bit. Bucky-bit commands were used in a number of editors written
at Stanford, including most notably TV-EDIT and NLS.
The term spread to MIT and CMU early and is now in general use.
Ironically, Wirth himself remained unaware of its derivation for nearly
30 years, until GLS dug up this history in early 1993! See `*double
bucky* <../D/double-bucky.html>`__, `*quadruple
bucky* <../Q/quadruple-bucky.html>`__.

Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR drop due to moderate wind
by PTIPollution levels in Delhi-NCR dropped further on Sunday with moderate winds sweeping the region.
The overall air quality index (AQI) in the national capital read 234 at 4 pm, down from 312 at 4 pm on Friday.
Most of the 37 air quality monitoring stations in Delhi recorded AQI in the "poor" category.
NSIT, Dwarka, was the most-polluted area with an AQI of 324, while Dilshad Garden (127) was the least polluted.
Neighbouring Ghaziabad (240), Greater Noida (226), Gurgaon (172), Faridabad (215) and Noida (225) also recorded an improvement in air quality.
Weather experts said no sudden dip in air quality is expected on Monday. However, wind speed is likely to dip under the influence of a fresh western disturbance.
Light rains are expected in northwest India on Tuesday and Wednesday.
If Punjab and Haryana receive widespread rains, the impact of stubble burning on Delhi's air quality will reduce further, a weather expert said.
However, light rains in Delhi-NCR may prove counterproductive as they increase humidity which exacerbates pollution, he said.
In case of good rains in Delhi-NCR on November 26 and 27, pollutants will be washed away.
Meanwhile, the government's air quality monitoring and forecasting body SAFAR said a marginal dip in air quality is predicted on Monday.
The AQI is likely to stay in the poor category on November 26 and may improve further in case of sufficient rains, it said.
The stubble fire count, as per SAFAR multi-satellite data, is 349. Transport-level winds are northwesterly and favourable for plume movement, but their high speed won't allow pollutant accumulation.
Hence, no significant stubble impact is expected for the next two days, it said.

Preparation time

Cooking time
over 2 hours
Serves
Serves 6
Suet pastry filled with tender steak and kidney in a rich gravy - a British classic to be proud of.
Preheat the oven to 170ºC/350ºF/Gas 3.
Rinse the kidneys and pat dry with kitchen paper. Cut the kidneys, in half, snip out the white cores and cut the kidneys into roughly 1.5cm/¾in pieces.
Place the cubes of steak into a large, strong plastic bag and the kidney pieces into another bag. Divide the flour between the two bags, then season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Tie the ends of the bags and shake until the steak and kidneys are thoroughly coated in the seasoned flour.
Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the steak, in batches, over a medium heat, adding extra oil as needed, until the steak is well-browned all over. Remove the steak from the frying pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to a flameproof casserole.
Return the frying pan to the heat and repeat the process with the kidneys, frying on both sides until well-browned. Remove the kidneys from the frying pan with a slotted spoon and transfer to the casserole.
Return the frying pan to the heat, add the remaining oil, then add the onion. Cook the onion over a low heat, stirring often, for five minutes, or until softened. Stir the cooked onion into the casserole with the beef and kidneys.
Deglaze the frying pan with the wine, bringing it to the boil while stirring to lift all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Pour the mixture immediately over the beef, kidneys and onion.
Strip the thyme leaves from the stalks and add them to the casserole. Stir in the bay leaf, beef stock and tomato purée.
Bring the beef mixture to the boil. Remove three ladlefuls of the sauce for gravy and set aside in a small pan to cool. When cooled, set it aside in the fridge for use as gravy.
Cover the casserole and transfer to the oven to cook for 1½-2 hours, or until the beef is tender (stir the mixture halfway through cooking).
Return the casserole to the hob and simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. When the sauce is thick enough, remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Meanwhile, for the suet pastry, put the flour, suet and salt into a large bowl and mix until well combined.
Stir in enough water to make a soft dough - you'll probably need around 300ml/10½fl oz of water. Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and bring it together to form a ball. Knead the dough lightly, then remove a generous quarter of the dough to make a lid for the pudding and set aside. Roll out the remaining pastry into a rough 5cm/10in circle (the size of an average dinner plate). It should be about 1cm/¼in thick.
Butter a 1.5 litre/2 pint 12¾fl oz pudding basin and line it with the pastry. The pastry should reach 1cm/¼in above the top of the dish. Prs the pastry against the sides of the basin and trim neatly.
Spoon the steak and kidney mixture into the pastry-lined pudding basin. Brush the rim of the pastry with water.  Trim into place and press the edges together well to seal.
Cover the dish with a large circle of baking parchment, with a pleat in the middle to allow for expansion. Cover the parchment with a circle of aluminium foil, again with a pleat. Secure both covers tightly with string. Create a carrying handle by tying the excess string across the top of the basin - this will help you lift the pudding out of the pan after it's cooked.
Place the pudding onto an upturned saucer or small trivet in a large, deep saucepan and add enough just-boiled water to come halfway up the sides of the basin. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and place on the hob over a medium heat. Steam the pudding in simmering water for 2½ hours, adding more water as necessary.
When the pudding is cooked through, turn off the heat and carefully lift the basin from the water. Let the pudding stand for five minutes.
Heat the reserved gravy on the hob, stirring, until the gravy is bubbling and heated through. Strain through a small sieve into a warmed jug.
Cut the string, foil and paper off the pudding basin. Run a blunt-ended knife around the inside of the pudding basin to loosen the sides of the pudding and invert it onto a deep plate. Serve in generous wedges with hot gravy.

gtk-query-immodules-3.0 - Input method module registration utility
gtk-query-immodules-3.0 [--update-cache] [MODULE...]
gtk-query-immodules-3.0 collects information about loadable input method modules for GTK+ and writes it to the default cache file location, or to stdout.
If called without arguments, it looks for modules in the GTK+ input method module path.
If called with arguments, it looks for the specified modules. The arguments may be absolute or relative paths.
Normally, the output of gtk-query-immodules-3.0 is written to libdir/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache, where GTK+ looks for it by default. If it is written to some other location, the GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE environment variable can be set to point GTK+ at the file.
--update-cache
Write the output to the default cache location instead of stdout
libdir/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache
The default im cache file used by GTK+ applications
GTK_PATH
Prepends directories to the input method module path
GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE
Specifies an alternative im module cache for GTK+ applications


A few years ago the manager of the team I worked in left and I stepped up to take his place. Having first been part of the team and now having to lead my colleagues would be difficult if they wouldn't accept me. Since I already was part of that team for a while I knew what the issues were and tried to make the situation better for everyone, this helped gain trust. Other things I tried was to give the people in the team ownership of a piece of work and I often let them choose what they wanted to pick up. Always backing the team and never taking personal credit for work the team did helped a lot as well. We are now years further and are all working on different contracts, yet we still maintain a good relationship.
The better you know people the harder it is to listen emphatically without also psycholising the conversation a bit. I think this is because you know them better, their past, what they are like and what motivates them. The book mentions you can listen emphatically and still disagree, but it didn't explain how to the proceed after you have listened emphatically (instead moves on to less personal organisational change). I think emphatically listening is very important, but there also needs to be a chance for the listener to disagree and voice that with integrity and kindness (assuming it is a conversation and not a monologue) without it being called psycholising. Overall though, I really think that emphatically listening without judgement is one of the best skills to have to better relationship with your fellow humans.

Situation:
Vendor decides to not provide release notes anymore when delivering new functionality, which I didn't agree with.
Why I am 100% correct and reasonable:
Getting release notes with new software is an agreed process. There was no consultation in changing that process. I provided three valid reasons as to why I need release notes.
Why the vendor was 100% correct and reasonable:
The customer is keeping us to our development timelines and we can't meet these so we have to cut the least essential processes down to a minimum, which unfortuntaly includes documentation of the software we deliver.

We love the different ways people use our music for videos.
Here's one that was posted on YouTube over Halloween, and you know what we realized? Our music works great with a pretty girl modeling costumes!
It's by AsahiSasaki she shows off some different Halloween costumes to our song "I Won't Go".
And she did a second one to the song "I'm Doing Fine" with Disney, comics & movie themed costumes.

What You
Should Have Learned
When
you have finished reading the essay “From Hoover to Johnson: A Supply-Side
Take” and read the transcript of, or listened to, a recording of John F.
Kennedy’s “Address to the Economic Club of New York,” you should understand the
following concepts:
•
Anti-supply-side policymaking of Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt were key factors in bringing about the end of the
"Roaring Twenties" and ushering in the Great Depression.
•
The policies of these two Presidents helped to deepen the Great Depression by:
Trade protectionism
Huge tax increases
Large increases in government
spending, and
A vast expansion
in government regulation.
•
World War II replaced the Great Depression with a new set of economic troubles:
A decline in business investment and
A decline in
consumer spending.
•
Sky-high, burdensome taxes continued to restrain the American economy after
World War II into the early 1960s.
•
President John F. Kennedy played a leading role in bringing supply-side
concepts back into the tax policy debate:
JFK countered the importance of
increased government spending
JFK emphasized tax cuts that enhance
“incentives for personal effort, investment,
and risk-taking."
•
JFK advocated two tax cuts that, as predicted by supply-side economics:
Increased the rewards of working,
Increased the rewards for saving
Increased the rewards for investing,
•
President Lyndon B. Johnson later enacted a temporary income tax increase that negatively
affected the economy, including the impact on investment.


Trezeguet hails 'amazing' Aston Villa fans
Villa winger Trezeguet has said he is ‘loving’ his time at the club and hailed the support of the ‘terrific’ fans.
by Liam KeenThe Egyptian moved to the Midlands in the summer, joining from Turkish top-flight side Kasimpasa.
And the 25-year-old says it is ‘amazing’ to find himself at the same club as countryman Ahmed Elmohamady.
“I am loving it,” he said. “It’s a huge club, a good team and terrific supporters.
“I think the fans are amazing – always positive.
“They support us at the game if we win, lose or draw, they are always with us.
“I always want to make them happy and I hope we do lots of times between now and the end of the season.
“I used to speak to Elmo in the national team and I always used to say to him ‘I want to come to the Premier League and I want to join Aston Villa’.
“It was a team I have always liked, I used to think ‘I’d like to join that club.’
“Elmo used to smile but isn’t it amazing that we are both here now.
“When I used to watch the Premier League in Egypt, I always used to follow Aston Villa.
“It was a club I admired and liked.”
The forward has scored two goals in his last two Premier League appearances, coming in the 2-1 losses at home to Liverpool and an injury-time strike away at Wolves.


Tarot readings are a powerful form of divination that use an ancient deck of cards to help you find answers to your most important questions about love, relationships, your career, finances and more. Psychics and fortune tellers have used Tarot cards for hundreds of years, and Trusted Tarot will give you an accurate reading that's personalized based the cards you choose and the order you pick them. Every card has a different meaning depending on its position, so you will get a unique and detailed perspective on your current situation. To prepare for your reading, I recommend that you listen to this grounding excercise - then scroll down and select your cards.
Playing cards first entered Europe in the late 14th century, most likely from Mamluk Egypt, with suits of Batons or Polo sticks (commonly known as Wands by those practicing occult or divinatory tarot), Coins (commonly known as disks, or pentacles in occult or divinatory tarot), Swords, and Cups. These suits were very similar to modern tarot divination decks and are still used in traditional Italian, Spanish and Portuguese playing card decks.
The first documented tarot packs were recorded between 1440 and 1450 in Milan, Ferrara, Florence and Bologna when additional trump cards with allegorical illustrations were added to the common four-suit pack. These new decks were called carte da trionfi, triumph cards, and the additional cards known simply as trionfi, which became "trumps" in English. The earliest documentation of trionfi is found in a written statement in the court records of Florence, in 1440, regarding the transfer of two decks to Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta.
The oldest surviving tarot cards are the 15 or so Visconti-Sforza tarot decks painted in the mid-15th century for the rulers of the Duchy of Milan. A lost tarot-like pack was commissioned by Duke Filippo Maria Visconti and described by Martiano da Tortona probably between 1418 and 1425, since the painter he mentions, Michelino da Besozzo, returned to Milan in 1418, while Martiano himself died in 1425. He described a 60-card deck with 16 cards having images of the Greek gods and suits depicting four kinds of birds. The 16 cards were regarded as "trumps" since in 1449 Jacopo Antonio Marcello recalled that the now deceased duke had invented a novum quoddam et exquisitum triumphorum genus, or "a new and exquisite kind of triumphs".Other early decks that also showcased classical motifs include the Sola-Busca and Boiardo-Viti decks of the 1490s.
In Florence, an expanded deck called Minchiate was used. This deck of 97 cards includes astrological symbols and the four elements, as well as traditional tarot motifs.
Although a Dominican preacher inveighed against the evil inherent in cards (chiefly owing to their use in gambling) in a sermon in the 15th century, no routine condemnations of tarot were found during its early history.
Because the earliest tarot cards were hand-painted, the number of the decks produced is thought to have been small. It was only after the invention of the printing press that mass production of cards became possible. The expansion of tarot outside of Italy, first to France and Switzerland, occurred during the Italian Wars. The most important tarot pattern used in these two countries was the Tarot of Marseilles of Milanese origin.


Lane-line Sensor
Overview top#
The lane-line sensor is used to extract and publish data describing the position and curvature of road lines on the lane which EGO vehicle currently occupies. It uses ground truth data from map annotations, which can be optionally corrected. You can read more about how annotation data is used in the input data section.
Data format top#
The lane-line sensor currently only supports the Cyber bridge, and publishes data in a format compatible with Apollo 5.0.
Each message follows the perception_lane format and, aside from the header, contains data about one or more lines in a format compatible with CameraLaneLine. Fields populated and published by the simulator are described in the table below.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
type |
Describes the color and shape of the line (white/yellow, solid/dotted) |
pos_type |
Describes the position of the line in relation to the EGO vehicle (right/left, ego/adjacent/third/etc.) |
curve_camera_coord |
The line curve in sensor space defined as third-degree polynomial * |
* See Curve definition section for details
Please note that even though lane-line sensor visualization in the simulator shows detected lines as an overlay for a color image, the image itself is not part of published data and is only shown as a visual aid.
Curve Definition top#
Each lane-curve is described as third-degree polynomial, with coordinate space being centered on the sensor, the x
axis pointing towards its front, and the y
axis pointing towards its right side. This coordinate space uses only two dimensions, ignoring altitude. Image below shows the described coordinate space.
Each curve is defined by six values - a, b, c, d, longitude_min, longitude_max
- as defined in LaneLineCubicCurve. On the referenced image, longitude_min
and longitude_max
are described as MinX
and MaxX
, respectively).
Given these parameters, the curve function f(x)
can be defined as:
f(x) = a + b * x + c * x^2 + d * x^3 for x ∈ <longitude_min, longitude_max>
It's important to note that polynomial coefficients are calculated via polynomial regression, which means the final function is an approximation and might not match the input data (red dots) perfectly. This is mostly noticeable on steep curves.
Input data for the polynomial regression is sampled directly from map annotations for the given environment, trimmed to the sensor's field of view (FOV
on the referenced image) and defined visibility range (see JSON parameters for more information). Details about how the points are sampled can be found in the input data section.
Input Data top#
By default, the lane-line sensor will use lines defined in the map's annotation data. All of the spatial data and metadata for published lines will be based on this, which eliminates issues related to image processing, but requires precise annotations. Since annotation data can be relatively scarce, each segment is resampled along its length before the polynomial regression step.
Sampling density depends on SampleDelta
parameter that can be defined in JSON parameters. An example of how the annotation data is resampled before final processing is shown on the image below. Points used for curve approximation (red dots) are based on white and yellow annotation lines.
In some cases, annotation data imported from external sources might not match the environment perfectly. If you have no option to improve the alignment, you might want to try using the automated correction option. This uses image processing and will attempt to align annotation keypoints with lines detected on road intensity maps. Please note that the results may vary based on the intensity map's quality.
To use automatic line-correction, open the lane-line detector tool and use it with the Generate Line Sensor Data
option enabled. An example of how offset map annotation data can look before (blue and yellow lines) and after automated correction (green lines) is shown below. Note that this correction will only affect the sensor visibility and will not change the annotation data itself.
Testing with Apollo top#
Lane-line sensor currently only supports CyberRT message types. If you want to verify that lane-line data is properly detected and received by Apollo, follow the steps below.
- Follow the instructions for running Apollo 5.0 with SVL Simulator. Don't start any simulation, but make sure that bridge is running.
- Using the Web User Interface, add the map that you want to use for testing to your library. You can either choose a map from Store, or create and upload your own.
- Note: your map can use raw or corrected annotation data. See input data section for more details.
- Add
Lane Line Sensor
plugin to your library. - Add any vehicle to your library.
- Create new sensor configuration for your vehicle.
- In the configuration options, add lane-line sensor to the list of used sensors. Make sure that
Topic
andFrame
properties are not empty. - Choose
CyberRT
as the bridge used by this configuration. - Create new simulation using the map, vehicle and sensor configuration that you just created. On the
Autopilot
page, selectApollo 5.0
and provide the bridge IP address. - Start the simulation.
- In Apollo's Docker environment, run
cyber_monitor
tool. - Lane-line sensor topic should be reporting received data. You can inspect the details by selecting the topic name.

{{ page.description }}
From time to time, people want the AutoFixture.AutoMoq Auto-Mocking Container to set up all mock instances to have 'normal' property behavior.
By default, Moq doesn't implement any members of an interface. You have to explicitly configure the desired behavior using the Setup methods. This is also true for properties (which are really only special methods).
Consider, as an example, this interface:
public interface IHasProperties { string Text { get; set; } int Number { get; set; } }
Personally, I think such an interface design is a design smell, but that's not the issue here.
The issue is that by default, Moq behaves like this:
[Fact] public void DefaultMoqDoesNotSetupProperties() { var h = new Mock<IHasProperties>().Object; h.Text = "foo"; h.Number = 42; Assert.Equal(default(string), h.Text); Assert.Equal(default(int), h.Number); }
As you can infer from this test, the IHasProperties instance completely ignores any attempt at assigning values to the properties. When you attempt to read the property values, Moq returns the default value for the property type - often null.
You can configure each property individually, but you can also configure the Mock instance to implement all properties as thought they are normal, well-behaved properties:
[Fact] public void ManualSetupProperties() { var td = new Mock<IHasProperties>(); td.SetupAllProperties(); var h = td.Object; h.Text = "foo"; h.Number = 42; Assert.Equal("foo", h.Text); Assert.Equal(42, h.Number); }
Notice the use of the SetupAllProperties method. So far, this is all about Moq, and really has nothing to do with AutoFixture.
Adhering to the Principle of least surprise, the AutoFixture.AutoMoq glue library doesn't change this behavior:
[Fact] public void DefaultAutoMoqDoesNotSetupProperties() { var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization()); var h = fixture.Create<IHasProperties>(); h.Text = "foo"; h.Number = 42; Assert.Equal(default(string), h.Text); Assert.Equal(default(int), h.Number); }
However, it's easy to change the behavior in an ad hoc manner:
[Fact] public void ManualSetupPropertiesOnAutoMoq() { var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization()); var h = fixture.Create<IHasProperties>(); Mock.Get(h).SetupAllProperties(); h.Text = "foo"; h.Number = 42; Assert.Equal("foo", h.Text); Assert.Equal(42, h.Number); }
As you can see, you can use the static Mock.Get method to get the underlying Mock<IHasProperties> and explicitly invoke the SetupAllProperties method.
If you prefer AutoFixture to automate this for you, it's fairly easy to do. First, you'll need to write an ISpecimenBuilder that hooks into the Mock creation process and invokes the SetupAllProperties method:
public class PropertiesPostprocessor : ISpecimenBuilder { private readonly ISpecimenBuilder builder; public PropertiesPostprocessor(ISpecimenBuilder builder) { this.builder = builder; } public object Create(object request, ISpecimenContext context) { dynamic s = this.builder.Create(request, context); if (s is NoSpecimen) return s; s.SetupAllProperties(); return s; } }
This class must decorate another ISpecimenBuilder, whose responsibility it is to create Mock<T> instances. The example code shown here is only a proof of concept, so it only does the bare minimum of defensive coding, assuming that if the object returned from the decorated ISpecimenBuilder is not a NoSpecimen, then it must be a Mock instance. In that case, it invokes SetupAllProperties on it.
You'll need to compose this PropertiesPostprocessor class together with all the other building blocks of the AutoMoq glue library. Currently, there's no specific hook into AutoMoqCustomization that enables you to do that, but if you decompose AutoMoqCustomization, you'll realize how easy it is to replicate the behavior while adding your new PropertiesPostprocessor class:
public class AutoMoqPropertiesCustomization : ICustomization { public void Customize(IFixture fixture) { fixture.Customizations.Add( new PropertiesPostprocessor( new MockPostprocessor( new MethodInvoker( new MockConstructorQuery())))); fixture.ResidueCollectors.Add(new MockRelay()); } }
The only difference from the AutoMoqCustomization implementation is the addition of PropertiesPostprocessor decorating MockPostprocessor.
This test now passes:
[Fact] public void AutoSetupProperties() { var fixture = new Fixture().Customize( new AutoMoqPropertiesCustomization()); var h = fixture.Create<IHasProperties>(); h.Text = "foo"; h.Number = 42; Assert.Equal("foo", h.Text); Assert.Equal(42, h.Number); }
As you can see, the Mock object created by AutoFixture now implements properties as normal, well-behaved properties.

The plug-in needs to store authentication data in a database. If this database is remote to the DB2 instance that you are configuring this plug-in for, you must do a manual installation.
If you are using a local database, you can also try the manual installation the case where the 'DO_IT_ALL_LOCAL' interactive installation program did not work for you.


An elegance layer to calling unix commands.
This library provides primitives that allow programmers and users to embed calls to process_create/3. The aim is to keep application code clear and succinct. This is achieved by (a) reducing the call to process_create/3 to its essential constituents and (b) allowing for term structures in the arguments of the call.
A simple example is
?- @ ls.
which lists all files by translating ls to process_create( path(ls), [], [] )
.
To list all details (long list):
?- @ ls(-l).
which demonstrates translation of terms in arguments.
By_unix looks at the arguments of the terms right of an @ to decide which ones are options (3rd argument of process_create/3) assuming the rest to be arguments to the call (2nd argument of process_create/3). Command arguments can be terms which will be serialised, so that a/b becomes 'a/b'. The argument * is special and it is expanded fed into expand_file_name/2.
With SWI 7 you can now have '.' in atoms, making interactions with the OS even smoother.
?- @ mkdir( -p, /tmp/test_by_unix ). ?- @ cd( /tmp/test_by_unix ). ?- @ touch( empty.pl ). ?- @ rm( -f, empty.pl ). ?- @ cd( pack(by_unix) ). ?- Wc @@ wc( -l, pack.pl ). Wc = ['10 pack.pl']. ?- @ cd( @ '$HOME' ). ?- [Pwd] @@ pwd. Pwd = '/home/nicos'.
The main objective of by_unix is achieved by what has been described so far. We have found that more than 90 percent of the its uses are to produce elegant Goals that are clear to read and construct their arguments within Prolog. We provide some more features, which are described in what follows, but they should be seen as marginal.
Changing directory is not supported via cd in process_create as which cd
fails to return
an executable in bash. That is,
?- process_create( path(cd), ['/'], [] ). ERROR: source_sink `path(cd)' does not exist
As oppose to:
?- [library(by_unix)]. ?- @ cd( / ). true. ?- @ ls. bin dev home initrd.img.old lib64 media opt root sbin srv tmp var boot etc initrd.img lib lost+found mnt proc run selinux sys usr vmlinuz true. ?- @ cd( /home/nicos ). ?- @ cd( pack(by_unix) ).
which/2 provides a locator for executables. by_unix_term_to_serial/2 serialises Prolog terms to process_create/3 atoms, and by_unix_assert/0 allows for doing away with the @.
As process_create/3 quotes special characters, for instance
?- process_create( path(ls), ['*'], [] ). /bin/ls: cannot access *: No such file or directory ERROR: Process "/bin/ls": exit status: 2
By_unix allows for in-argument file name expansions via expand_file_name/2.
?- @ ls( -l, @('*.pl') )
.
@@/2 provides dual functionality: either picking up output lines from the calling command or for maplist/2 applications. See @@/2 and @@/3.
A lines example
?- @ cd( @ '$HOME' ). ?- Pwd @@ pwd. Pwd = ['/home/nicos'].
A maplist example
?- @ cd( pack(by_unix) ). ?- Files = ['by_unix.pl'], maplist( @@wc(-l), Files, Wcs ).
@author Nicos Angelopoulos @version 0.1.6 2013/12/26 @see http://stoics.org.uk/~nicos/sware/by_unix
For @cd( Arg )

Sparked by the idea of new possibilities and the golden opportunity to start a new life, the forming of The United States of America was in some measure, built by immigrants. Immigrants have and still play a significant role in shaping our economy, our infrastructure and our cultural aesthetic today. Looking back in history, we can see how immigrants have helped shape the United States to be what it is today. During the Gold Rush of America and the expansion of early settlers moving towards the west, many railroad companies relied a great deal of assistance on immigrants to build and lay the tracks. Between the early and late 19th century, many companies hired Irish and Chinese immigrant laborers to lay and build its railroad tracks. Mexicans have long played a significant role in American history, when the United States made its entry into World War 2, Mexicans were brought into the United States for temporary contracts to fill the shortage of farm laborers. Due to malnutrition, poverty and widespread disease many Italians migrated to the United States of America. The United States of America had a total of 25,000 Italian immigrants by 1870. Between 1901 and 1910 many Jewish immigrants immigrated to The United States due to the increase of anti-Semitic violence in Russia. Today, America is a nation filled with a different culture and ethnicities. Many still view it as the “Land of Opportunity”, and whether people have strong opinions on immigration or not. We need to embrace the history of immigrants and the positive impact they have had on our society.


Gemma Collins's proposal demand to James Argent couldn't be more direct
In case James Argent needed any more of an idea – Gemma Collins wants you to put a ring on it. And fast.
The Towie star made it absolutely clear she wants to get married and she wants to get married soon, as she made a rather pointed statement to her on/off boyfriend with whom she is very much ‘on’ with right now.
As she joined Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain on Monday, Gemma enthused her usually rather dramatic relationship with Arg is ‘good’ as Piers attempted to get some tea from the reality star.

‘It’s very much on – James are you up out of bed?’ she joked to the telly screen, later adding she knew full well her boyfriend was still asleep. It was the crack of dawn, after all.
After Piers pressed her for more information as to whether they were on, GC replied: ‘Yes, well…yes. Last time I spoke to him [last night] we were.
‘But you never know, things may be different this morning.’
It was recently claimed the two were on rocky shores yet again, having not been spotted together since a trip to Italy earlier this year.
Fast forward to now and not only is the pair back in love but, Gemma, 38, taunted 31-year-old Arg’s matrimonial tendencies as she teased: ‘I’m waiting [for wedding bells] aren’t I?’
Well, it’s clear what Gemma is after!
The pair have been dating for the better part of a decade, albeit with several breaks over the years, and Piers felt the approach to Christmas was the perfect time to get on bended knee and bling up the GC with a diamond sparkler.
‘I can’t wait much longer,’ Gem said in her iconic drawl.
‘It’s either soon or I’m out of there.’
She added: ‘I am getting a little older now I need the big bling on my finger. If it’s meant to be…I don’t lose sleep out of it.

‘I need to be made an honest woman.’
Speaking directly to the camera, the podcaster demanded: ‘Call De Beers diamonds now James, wakey wakey!’
Declaring she wanted a ring ‘like Elizabeth Taylor’s’ – which one of Liz’s engagement rings wasn’t made clear – Piers laughed: ‘It can’t get more direct than that, James.’
You heard the woman, Arg.
The GC and James recently reunited during a romantic trip to Dubai amid claims they’re keen to have a family pronto.

The lovebirds hit the headlines after it was stated that Mark Wright’s best pal failed to answer messages from those closest to him, prompting the GC to ring the emergency services. But an insider claimed they are ‘more in love than ever’ after working through the drama.
Best of luck to ‘em.

MESSAGE TO LOVE: THE ISLE OF WIGHT FESTIVAL (director/writer/cinematographer: Murray Lerner; 1997-U.K.)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
What a concert! An artistic success-but a financial and spiritual failure. Consider who was at this 5-day summer tribal gathering at the Isle of Wight from this list of performers and judge for yourself if it was worth the price of admission:The Doors, Donovan, The Moody Blues, Leonard Cohen, Kris Kristofferson, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Emerson Lake and Palmer, John Sebastien, Tiny Tim, Jimi Hendrix, Joan Baez, Free, Taste, Ten Years After, Jethro Tull and The Who.
600,000 rock fans, in 1970, voyaged by boat to the remote Isle of Wight off the southern coast of England and were ready to see the last great "rock" music festival. The problem the promoters had was that only 50,000 people paid the three pounds (approximately $7.50 in American money) required to see the concert, the others crashed the double corrugated-iron fences, with the local police holding guard dogs to prevent the non-paying crowd from gate crashing. The scene was an utter mess, with bad vibes prevailing, as many of the inarticulate and stoned hippies claiming that this was turning out to be merely a commercial venture and refused to pay, saying the concert should be free, setting up a tent city on a slope overlooking the site, calling it desolation row (a Bob Dylan record plays that song as the the credits for the film's end rolls on).
 Tiny Tim went out and sang a lame "There'll Always Be An England" only after insisting he gets paid first. Jimi Hendrix was too stoned to adequately perform "Foxy Lady." Kris Kristofferson got into a snit as desolation row pounded on the metal fences and walked off stage before he could finish "Me and Bobby McGee." A bloated Jim Morrison of The Doors, who along with Hendrix, performed their last stage concerts ever, seemed to be musically flat. An intruder rushes the stage during Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" number and rattles her so much that her voice is quivering, as she attempts to talk to the crowd like a substitute teacher would to an unruly class. Joan Baez, looking out-of-place with this generation of hippies, tells the interviewer she cannot be forced into giving a free concert by the crowd. The obnoxious announcer, Rikki Farr, goes so far as calling the crowd "pigs," wavering back and forth between conjoling and chiding them, with neither strategy doing anything but creating more bad feelings. The promoters were amateurs, not knowing how to control the crowd or financially run a concert, and to the bargain, were sending off a contradictory message, for a concert that was supposed to manifest "love" and "peace."
The crowd shots showed rampant hashish smoke and psychedelic drugs being ingested, nudity, the potential for a riot, and talk among the concert goers that this was a just a "money" thing, as the feelings of idealism or another Woodstock, which was only one year earlier, seemed like ancient history. One of the outlandish comments from a stoned concert goer was "This is a psychedelic concentration camp."
The director of this film had to wait 25 years after the concert to release the movie, as the promoters went belly-up over the concert. What is suprisingly good is the sound of the film and the high quality of the music. This film was no Woodstock, but it had a charm of its own, and is certainly worth seeing not only for the music but for the history of the period.
An opposite reaction to most of the views heard, is from the local police who seem to detest the crowd, and a character who says he is a retired commodore in British intelligence, as he proves that he probably was that, as he babbles foolishly on saying that he hates to see the youth of the country wasting away and that "Behind the hippie movement is Black Power and behind them is Communism."
The following are some of the things that went right with the concert: Emerson, Lake, and Palmer put on a fireworks display on stage (the stage nearly burnt down), as they were really into it as they performed "Pictures at an Exhibition." John Sebastien had the hippie drug culture mood down pat, as he related well to the crowd, singing "Red Eye Express." The Moody Blues sang a great rendition of "White Satin." Leonard Cohen was his usual sardonic and sobering poetic self, as he sang "Suzanne." All this in a concert that signaled the end of an era and the dark Nixon days that lie ahead, with the Viet Nam War continuing and the mood of the youthful generations of both Great Britain and America, becoming even more polarized with the older generation.

October 3rd, Introduction Hi! I'm Tyler. I enjoy Tennis, Game Design, and Esports. In particular, I enjoy competitive Super Smash Bros. I look forward to meeting you all. Notes: October 4th 2016 Section1.6: Networks Under Attack Malware: Data from the internet that infects hosts for malicious intent. Examples include spyware (collects private information, to send back to the origin of the spyware for their use), or deleting files from the host. Once infected with malware, hosts may inadvertently be enrolled in a botnet. Botnet: A network of hosts infected with malware, controlled by the malware distributor, to be used to further spread malware through spam email, or to perform a DoS attack against some host they have a bone to pick with. Most malware is Self Replicating: Can spread itself from one host to another, growing at a potentially exponential pace. Malware is spread in two ways, Viruses, and Worms. Viruses: Malware that requires the host's user to interact with it in some way. The text uses a very simple email spam example, where a user opens an attached document that runs malicious code of some sort, such as installing spyware. Worms: Malware that can enter a device without the host's user interaction. The text again provides an example. If you were to run a network application that was vulnerable to the worm, the application could accept this malware and install it without the user knowing it. Once in a host, worms scan other computers in the network, and attack any other hosts that are running the same vulnerable application. DoS attacks: an attack that renders a host, network, or infrastructure unusable by legitimate users. DoS attacks typically come in one of three flavors:Vulnerability Attacks, Bandwith Flooding, and Connection Flooding. The only type that the text goes into are Bandwithd Flooding, which is typically performed via DDoS attack. DDoS stands for Distributed Denial of Service attack. Essentially, the attackers uses 'slave' hosts from a botnet to send traffic to the target, until it cant handle the stress of the increased traffic. Packet Sniffers are programs that 'sniff' packets being sent through a network. Wireshark, which we used in class today, is a packet sniffer, for instance. People can place packet sniffers and attempt to aquire packets containing users personal information. Packet sniffers are hard to detect, since they don't actually add anything to the network, just read from it. IP Spoofing: Sending a packet with a fake source address. Basically, this would be like sending someone a letter with an address from one of their friends, so that they are more likely to open it. Though in this case that letter would containt malware. So for a real world example, if that letter contained nothing but exploding glitter.  October 5th Lab Notes (helpful Linux network commands) Ping (ping ip_or_host_name): Sends an echo request to the given host or ip, then returns with the response and round trip time. IMPORTANT: To stop the ping, use Ctrl+C. Trace Route (traceroute machine_name_or_ip): Shows the route a packet takes to the given destination, by giving a series of hosts it travels through. Trace Path (tracepath machine_name_or_ip): Same as Trace Route, except it doesn't take 'complicated' options, whatever that means, I'm unsure. IfConfig (ifconfig): Lists all information on all network devices currently up. ifup (ifup devicename): Brings the chosen device up if currently down. ifdown (ifdown devicename): Brings the chosen device down if currently up. hostname (hostname): Tells you the hostname of the computer thats being used. October 5th Textbook Notes Transport Services Provided by the Internet When you create a new network application for the internet, you have to choose between using TCP and UDP for a transport protocol. TCP TCP Provides two main services: Connection Oriented Service:Client and server exchange transport control information before they begin exchanging messages. This is called the 'handshaking procedure'. After the 'handshake', a "TCP Connection" exists. Once the connection exists, the two processes can send messages to each other at the same time. After they finish, the connection must be 'torn down'. Reliable Data Transfer service: All data will be sent without error and in the proper order. No missing or duplicate bytes. UDP Connectionless Not reliable. Messages may arrive out of order or not at all. Less 'frilly'. Very lightweight transfer protocol. October 10th Textbook Notes The Transport-layer provide a logical connection between two applications. This means that the two applications can act as though they were directly connected, even if they actually have to go through dozens of steps to reach each other. I imagine this is critically important in things such as online videogames, or other such applications, where real time interaction is a must. Transport layer protocols are implemented in the end systems, not the network routers. The Transport Layer of the Internet The internet makes two transport-layer protocols available to the application layer, TCP and UDP. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is unreliable, and connectionless. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is reliable, and connection-oriented. The application developer must choose between these two transport-layer protocols. As a brief aside, the Internet's network layer protocol is called IP. IP provides logical connections between hosts, but its a best effort delivery service. This means that it will try its best to deliver segments between hosts, but its ultimately unreliable. It doesn't guarentee that the segments are delivered, it doesn't guarentee they'll arrive in the same order that they were sent, and it doesn't guarentee the integrity of those segments. Every host has atleast one network-layer address, aka, an IP Address The most important function of TCP and UDP is Transport layer multiplexing and demultiplexing. Basically, this is extending the IP delivery service between two end systems, into a delivery service between two applications running on those end systems. In addition, TCP and UDP also provide some of the integrity checking that IP doesn't, using error detection fields in their headers. As mentioned above, UDP is unreliable. These are the only functions UDP provides, and so it doesn't guarentee that data sent will be received. However, TCP provides several more services. Using techniques called flow control, sequence numbers, acknowledgements, and timers, TCP provides reliable data transfer. This is its biggest benefit over UDP by far. TCP also provides congestion control, which prevents any one connection from swamping routers and links with heavy traffic. It does this by basically capping the rate that a connection can send traffic into the network. However, UDP is unregulated, and so can send as much or as little traffic as it pleases. October 11th Textbook Notes Section 3.5.5: Flow Control Both sides of a TCP connection use whats called a 'receive buffer' for the particular connection. When data arrives correctly and in sequence, it is placed in that applications receive buffer. That application will then read that data from the receive buffer, but only if it has the chance to. Sometimes the application is forced to be doing other tasks, and so the data waits in the receive buffer for some time before it is read. If the other host sends too much data too quickly and the receiving application is too slow to read the data in the receive buffer, it can cause overflow. TCP, luckily, has Flow Control, which eliminates this problem. TCP matches the speeds of the sender sending data, and the receivers ability to read it. In this way, the receiving application is reading the data at the same speed it is coming in. As an aside, be careful when reading texts, as many people confuse flow control and congestion control. Congestion control works very similarly to flow control, except congestion control is done so that the network isn't backed up by increased traffic. TCP forces its sender to use a variable called 'receive window'. The receive window's size is determined by a fairly simple algorithm. First, the receiver allocates a receive buffer and notes its size in a variable. At times, the receiver will read from that buffer. While the receive buffer has data in it, the application checks to make sure it won't overflow. It looks at the last byte sent, and the last byte it took out of the buffer, and if the difference between the two is larger than the buffer, that means that it will overflow if any new data is accepted. The receiver sends this information over to the sender with its data packets, which will then stop sending data if it would cause overflow. Of course, this comes with a pretty big problem. If the receiver doesn't have anything to send, the sender won't ever be told when there's space in the receive buffer again! This causes the sender to stop sending data, even though the receiver has an empty receive bin. To solve this issue, TCP forces the receiver to send a single packet whenever its receive bin is empty. This function, Flow Control, is not provided by UDP. October 12th Textbook Notes TCP Congestion Control One of the key features of TCP is its congestion control. TCP uses an end to end congestion control as opposed to network- assisted congestion control because the IP layer doesn't provide feedback to hosts about the state of the network. So, instead TCP relies on the results of its sent messages to infer the state of the network. TCP has each of its senders limit their rate of transfer into the network, based on how badly it thinks the network is congested. If the network has little congestion, then the sender can inscrease its send rate. If theres a lot of congestion, it slows down. In addition to how TCP senders have a receive buffer, a send buffer, and a whole bunch of variables, TCP senders also have an additional variable, the congestion window. The congestion window constrains the limit at which it can send things out into the network. The exact rate is roughly the senders congestion window (cwnd) divided by RTT. Since TCP is using end to end congestion control, it has to determine if the network is clogged or not. To do this, TCP looks for "Loss events". Loss events happen when a router buffer on the path overflows, which causes part of a TCP segment to be dropped. Which, in turn, causes a timeout. When TCP gets a loss event, it uses them to determine how congested the network is. The more loss events, the worse the congestion. Should there be no congestion in the network, then the sender will receive acknoledgements from the receiver, and it takes these as a sign that all is well in the network. Depending on the ratio of data sent vs acknowledments received, the sender will use this either increase or decrease its congestion window, and thus its rate of transfer. This is called self clocking. October 13th Textbook Notes

After KKR Release, Lynn Pips Hales to Record Highest Individual T10 Score
Playing for Maratha Arabians in the ongoing third edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League, Lynn blasted 91 off just 30 balls against Team Abu Dhabi at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Monday.
Days after being released by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for next years edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Chris Lynn made a statement by scoring the highest-ever individual score in the T10 format.
Playing for Maratha Arabians in the ongoing third edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League, Lynn blasted 91 off just 30 balls against Team Abu Dhabi at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Monday. His record innings consisted of nine fours and seven sixes and helped Arabians put up 138/2 in their stipulated 10 overs.
Arabians won the match comfortably by 24 runs as Team Abu Dhabi could only make 114/3 in their full quota of 10 overs.
Earlier, the record for the highest individual score in T10 belonged to England batsman Alex Hales who had struck an unbeaten 87 from 32 balls last season.
Hales, while playing for Maratha Arabians, had created the record against Bengal Tigers and guided his team to a seven-wicket win in their eliminator final in Sharjah.
Lynn has played 41 IPL matches for KKR in which he has scored 1280 runs at a strike rate above 140. The Australian batter will now be available for the auction for IPL 2020 scheduled to be held on December 20 in Kolkata.

Pam, who runs a rescue centre for exotic pets, has Type 1 diabetes, which causes her to have sudden hypoglycaemic attacks if her blood sugar levels reach dangerously high or low levels.
If not treated with insulin quickly enough, the lack of oxygen to the brain can cause her to fall into a coma.
Scarily, she almost slipped into a coma in the early hours of Monday morning.

Pam, a widow who has two children and two grandchildren, was in bed asleep at her home in Spalding, but at 4am she became aware of Gypsy trying to wake her.
Advertisement Advertisement
A vet told Pam that Gypsy would have smelt ketones, a substance created if the body does not get enough glucose, on her breath.
 I thought, what the hell’s going on.
‘She would not give up she just kept going on and on and pushing and licking and everything and I realised then, as I woke up, that I was not feeling right.
‘It’s one of the worse ones I have ever had. I have not had one that caused me to wake up in the middle of the night.
‘I don’t even know why because I didn’t think I should have been hungry or didn’t have enough food inside me.
‘I don’t know what caused it but she woke me up and then she sat next to me on the bed. I wanted to go to the toilet but she didn’t let me leave the bed.
‘She is so responsive and protective of me, I have never had a dog like her. I love her to bits.
‘She means the world to me and that moment put the icing on the cake.
‘If Gypsy had not woken me I would have died.’

After eating some of the chocolate she felt much better but says if Gypsy had not been there she may never have woken up.
She added: ‘She got on the bed and would not leave me. I went downstairs for a drink and she followed me.
‘It took me four hours to get over it. I was really wobbly and Gypsy would not leave me alone.
‘I have never had such a perceptive dog. She seems to know me very well.
‘She has had a lot of fuss. Everyone has been loving her since and think she’s a real celebrity.’


2020 Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Badge Edition Released
by Team GaadiWaadiThe Black Badge edition of the 2020 Rolls Royce Cullinan comes with several cosmetic updates for the exterior and interior along with a significant power update
First launched in 2016, the Rolls Royce has been the epitome of luxury SUVs. The only SUV in the Goodwood-based luxury car marque has been a hit amongst the elite and has done well to bring new customers under the umbrella of the Spirit of Ecstasy.
In a bid to further capitalize on the popularity of the Cullinan, Rolls Royce has come up with a Black Badge edition that brings in a slew of updates to further enhance the appeal of this model.
On the outside, the 2020 Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Badge bears new 22-inch alloy wheels which are flanked by the company’s first-ever set of painted brake callipers with a glossy red finish. You also get a dark front grille that is reserved for the new special version. In spite of such minor updates, the Black Badge edition ends up looking sportier than the regular version.
 The cabin gets tasteful trim finished in a carbon-fibre look. In order to obtain a racier look, every panel is treated with six coats of lacquer before being hand-polished to a perfect finish after 72 hours of storage.
Typical of other Black Badge models from the company, the 2020 Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Edition comes with a power update to compliment the cosmetic changes. The 6.75-litre twin-turbo V12 now pumps out 600 hp and 664 ft-lb, which is a bump of 29 hp and 37 lb-ft over the standard power figures. You also get a new exhaust that has a sportier sound note.
The ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission now works in tandem with a new ‘Intuitive Throttle’ for a more aggressive shift timing. The suspension benefits from front and rear active axles working with each other to offer a scintillating performance based on the throttle and steering inputs.
The standard Rolls Royce Cullinan can sprint from 0 to 96 kmph in just 4.9 seconds. The Black Badge edition reduces this figure by another 0.1 second.
