From A Crazy Idea To The Skies
By Saavidra Perera
Apr 2020
There are those moments, when the walls come down, the formalities disappear and you are just
chatting to an old colleague or a new acquaintance in the field, and ideas take on a life of
their own. Crazy and fun ideas are “seriously” discussed. The potential problems and possible
solutions incite debates and excitement. But how do you start a collaboration? How do you get
funding? Is the idea worth investing resources into? These are but a few questions you might ask yourself.
On the 19th of March, in the midst of the corona-virus lockdown, I sat with Sebastiaan Haffert and
Robert (Rob) Harris over Zoom to talk about their collaboration. The design, development and deployment of
the Multi Core Integral Field Unit (MCIFU). A collection of ideas that took three years to condense into a
research project. The MCIFU (pronounced em-chifu) is a prototype of a spectrograph that will be used
to characterize exoplanets.
The project has benefited from over 30 co-authors, with a now transnational group including contributions
from the UK, Germany, Italy, France, the Netherlands and the USA.
Back Story
Rob and Sebastiaan (two co-founders of NYRIA) met back in 2014 at the "Reaching the limits of the sky,
astronomical instrumentation in the 21st Century" in Chile. It was off the back of this summer
school that NYRIA was formed. At the time, Rob was a final year PhD student at Durham University,
UK, and Sebastiaan was a Masters Student at Leiden University, Netherlands. Since then, Rob went on to
finish his PhD and is now a post-doc at the MPIA, Germany working on the MICADO instrument for the ELT.
Sebastiaan finished his Masters Degree and PhD at Leiden University and took his Sagan fellowship to
Steward Observatory, USA to work on the exoplanet imaging instrument MagAO-X.
Project Description
Can you in a few lines describe the project that the two of you are collaborating on?
Sebastiaan: We are collaborating on a small spectrograph.
Rob: To characterise exoplanets. *Rob grins*
Sebastiaan: Yeah [...] what is novel about our new approach is that we use a lot of new photonic
technology developed and collaborated from Rob’s side to create a new link between the
image plane and the spectrograph [...] for this kind of science you need to have some
way to transport the focal plane image to the spectrograph and we developed a new photonic
way of doing it by using a special fibre and 3D printed lenses, laser written waveguides,
fancy new stuff [...] It’s a novel spectrograph with a novel way of reformatting the
image plane into a spectrograph.
What gap does this fill in research?
Sebastiaan: the gap it would fill would be higher resolution, so at the moment we mainly have
low resolution spectra of planets [...]. So some people want to know what kind of molecules are
present in an atmosphere or what kind of abundance ratio there is, to know that you actually need to
go to higher resolution, you need to see the molecular lines, you need to be able to resolve those.
So I think that is a gap that the instrument can fill, where before we only had low resolution spectra
where you can infer temperature and mass while now with higher resolution you can actually do molecular
characterization. [...] There are three major direct imaging instruments in the infrared which are SCExAO,
GPI and SPHERE and they have a resolving power of 50 so that means all three can only do temperature
measurements of the planet and maybe the gravity, and if they are very very lucky there is a broader water
absorption feature or methane feature but they are very difficult to characterise at that resolving power
of 50 you really need to go to resolving power of a couple 1000 to be able to do actual atmospheric characterisation.
So what is your resolving power?
Sebastiaan:the measured resolving power was 3000. The design was to go to 7000 and we are effectively operating at half our resolving power.
Starting the collaboration
So Rob brings in the photonic fibres and your [Sebastiaan] side of things is what?
Rob: “Sebastiaan is the brain child, its his baby”
So how did you even get to that discussion?
Sebastiaan: I wanted to use single mode fibres because I thought it would be cool. In 2015, just
in the first or second week of my PhD I went to Durham at that photonics workshop and I saw the single
mode fibres, and thought it was a cool technology to use. In the couple weeks after the conference, I
started simulating the single-mode fibers. And then I found that it could actually be interesting to use
single mode fibres. At that moment we were like okay this is very nice but how do we make an actual single
mode fibre bundle. [...] It was a pain, there was no company that was able to get the tolerances to what
we needed. And then Rob showed his 3D printed nano-optics on fibers.
Rob: That was at NYRIA in France.
Sebastiaan: I was like, I need that.
*Both Chuckle*
Sebastiaan: That was also the moment when I started discussing things with Rob, in Paris.
Rob: And it's all kind of spiralled since there because we chatted a lot about it at SPIE and we
decided we wanted to do it and then a few weeks later I had a report due from OPTICON that I had to work
with VPH grating people[...], and Sebastiaan had already mentioned he wanted to make a VPH spectrograph
and so we got in contact with them and they were really keen to do that and there was some time at the
William Herschel Telescope (WHT) came up in December, so we just thought we would put in an application
and we got time. Which meant we had to build the spectrograph.
*Both Chuckle*
Sebastiaan: [...] When we got the telescope time awarded, we didn't have anything yet.
Rob: Yeh. Well you had some basic designs [...] there was a lot of panic after that.
If you work with the right people it's incredible what you can accomplish, find yourself a
good group, and enthusiastic group who are willing to go the extra mile then you’re great.
- Rob
Concept to Sky
When did you hear that you got the time at the WHT?
Rob: In either January or February [2019] we found out.
Sebastiaan: We had our preliminary design meeting at the end of January in
Heidelberg. This is also where we came together for two days to discuss everything.
The initial idea was that CANARY was going to have two slots one slot in june and a late slot in October.
*Both start laughing* And the idea was to go for October.
But it got shifted to June?
Rob: Oh yes
So this was in January when you got the time in June, and all you had so far was the design?
Rob: yeh *both laugh*
So you had 6 months to actually build it?
Rob: yep, test it, put it together and make sure it would work.
So what was that experience like?
Rob: [...] we put everything together in about 6 months and for me it was an absolutely,
crazy 6 months, but it was amazing. We had meetings every two weeks and I used to love turning
up to the Zoom meeting with a rough agenda, and asking everybody what they had done. Every time
they’d done everything you’d asked of them and they usually [had] done a bit more. It was amazing
to work with such a motivated team, no politics, just everyone aiming to achieve this difficult goal.
When did you ship the instrument?
Sebastiaan: With the time constraints we couldn't ship it, so we had to take it in
suitcases with us on the airplane.
So basically you were working right up until the end of the deadline then, until you flew?
Sebastiaan: Yeh I think we got the final fibre like a week before Rob left for La Palma.
Rob: [...] I picked up the final fibre link finished on Saturday and flew on Sunday
*Everyone laughs*
How long were you there before you went on-sky?
Rob: So I arrived on the 7th and we wanted to go on-sky on the 18th [...] And actually
you [*pointing to Sebastiaan*] showed up a little bit later and i was so glad you showed
up because i had spent so long trying to fix stuff that i was just exhausted and broken and
nothing was working.
[...]
Sebastiaan: The run was for 5 nights in total, 2 hours or 3 hours per night.
Rob: And we didn't go on-sky the first night.
[...]
Sebastiaan: [On the second night] we got terrible throughput, because there was a misalignment.
Rob: [..] The dome was open, everything was up and running and we tried to align it using the
internal sources which we had done during the day, but we saw absolutely nothing [...] the beam had
moved by almost half a cm, so you aligned it and we actually managed to get some light in and then we
opened the dome looked at the sky and saw nothing once again, so out of our two hours we had that night
with about 15 minutes to go we still had no light. So Eric Gendron worked his magic to find the star.
We were looking at Vega, but so badly aligned we got almost no light through. After 20 seconds we got
our first spectra, it was just above the noise, but I was unbelievably happy we got something.
Sebastiaan: So the third day we went in, realigned everything again and at that point we had a
proper alignment with Canary. That night we got good results.
Rob: yeah, so that was amazing actually seeing what it could do when everything was properly set up.
Explain to me what you mean by good results.
Sebastiaan: So we were still looking at Vega but in this case we could look at Vega with high
signal to noise and short exposure time.
Rob: The point where we could actually see how the AO was performing, which was really cool.
Sebastiaan: So the nice thing was that it was that we finally got a good amount of light through.
It took quite a long time of aligning stuff.
Rob: So much time *Rob puts his hands to his face*.
Sebastiaan: Fourth night we did a bit more optimization of the alignment and that night the
AO was also working spectacularly well because the seeing was very good [..] on the last night we got
really good data. Seeing was good, AO was working, we were working.[...] we looked at a couple of
targets but it was mainly bright targets because we wanted to test that it worked.
So what’s next?
Rob: We were scheduled to integrate the MCIFU into MagAO-X for tests in 2020, however, due to COVID-19
our plans changed. Our fibre is currently in Arizona, spectrograph in Italy and detector in Germany, not ideal.
Once everything returns to normal, we’ll integrate the MCIFU with MagAO-X, forming a test bed for future upgrades.
Advice
What advice can you offer to someone trying to build collaborations?
Sebastiaan: If there is someone that is doing interesting stuff that you may benefit from,
always talk to them [...] just always ask about their research. There is never a case where people
do not want to talk about their research.
Rob: Don’t be afraid to talk about crazy ideas with people because sometimes they end up working out really nicely.
Sebastiaan: [..] You have several states of ideas if someone says something and everyone says
that's a crazy idea then it's probably a crazy idea. If it's something that 50 % of people say it's
a crazy idea and 50% of people say well it maybe might work then it's probably super interesting.
In academia that's what people look for, creative people that come with creative solutions ,
it's not something that you have or you don't have it's something that you practise
- Sebastiaan
If someone was looking for a phd would you from your personal experience encourage people to work on smaller projects?
Sebastiaan: [If working on a big project ] [...] I mean it's very nice working in a large collaboration.
 What is also cool
is that you are doing cutting edge high quality work [...]. But sometimes I have a little bit [of] the feeling
that these large consortium projects limit your personal development. I think for your personal development
you should be able to just explore small and crazy experiments, make mistakes and just try out something on
your own. Academia searches for people that come with creative solutions. Having creativity is not something
that you have or you don't have, it's something that you practise in my opinion and you get that from just messing
around. So you should make sure you can mess around with an unimportant project at least one day a week or one
day every two weeks. While the project may not be important, you develop the skills and insights on how you
should actually attack a project from the beginning to the end.
Rob: [...] what I would add to that, is there is so many different people in PhDs, some people really
like to be left completely on their own and make their own way through and other people really like deadlines,
they like things set so definitely when you can be creative but also follow what you enjoy doing the most and
figure out what phd student you want to be.

Dealing W/ARA Types
Comrades:
Because some of our comrades have never had to deal with all the
tricks and troubles of anti-racists, I am sending out this list for
state leaders to help them avoid common pitfalls:
1) Do not give things to people you don't know.
This seems obvious, but often people will approach "movement"
activists and ask us to give them things -- a place to stay, a job,
money, et cetera. Do not give things to people you don't know --
ever. I don't care if they are a white activist or not -- if they
approach you begging for things, they don't belong in our movement.
2) This includes information.
People will send you emails "phishing" for information -- meaning
they will send emails saying things like "your email account has
been cancelled" with a link to click that goes to a bogus webpage.
They will also send you instant messages and other contacts with
similar traps in them. The bolder ones will call you on a phone --
often from a hard to trace calling card -- and ask for information.
Be cautious when responding to requests for private information.
3) Be cautious of people who do not seem "right".
True, there are a lot of odd people in the white nationalist
movement. By and large, we don't want them in our organization. If
they don't seem "right", check them out.
The safest way to find out who you are dealing with is to have them
submit a membership form. That way, if they are up to no good, at
least you know who you're dealing with.
If they still don't seem right, ask them to pray with you. You can flush out
phonies easily this way.
Those who are honestly interested but just "wrong" for real activism
will generally get bored, discouraged, or otherwise muster out in
short order. Those who are criminal or otherwise anti-social will
get caught on their backgrounds. And infiltrators, well --we do have the
ministry of the Discernment of Spirits, so they shall be found out.
I don't mean to point out the obvious to folk but its easier to
start thinking about things before something happens than after.

WILDE
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Sony Pictures Classics Director: Brian Gilbert Writer: Julian Mitchell from Richard Ellmann's "Oscar Wilde" Cast: Stephen Fry, Jude Law, Jennifer Ehle, Tom Wilkinson, Vanessa Redgrave
Oscar Wilde once said "In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it." This can be paraphrased by a similar axiom, "Don't wish too hard for what you want. You may get it." Why is this philosophy the central conceit of "Wilde," a heartfelt biopic of the great 19th-century writer's later years? Simply this. Wilde was married to a woman he loved and was devoted to the children he had with her.  He would, in fact, be the very hypocrite he disparaged in another marvelous theatrical piece, "Lady Windermere's Fan," which uncovers a scandal that threatens the idyllic early married life of Lord and Lady Windermere in turn-of-the-century London. To avoid the tragedy of hypocrisy, he gives in to his natural inclination--his love for his fellow man--is found out, disgraced, tried for violation of England's sodomy laws and imprisoned at hard labor for two years.
Yet the anguish which afflicted him could have been avoided. Wilde could have continued enjoying his double life, retaining the loyalty of his devoted wife, had he not blown his cool and attacked one of the most powerful people in London society. "Wilde" is the story of the fatal flaw that not only propelled the writer's downfall but contributed directly to his death at the age of 46.
As portrayed by Stephen Fry--whose formidably large demeanor is strikingly similar to the writer's--Wilde is a colossus of a man whose wit matches his height and girth and whose appeal is so broad-based that he can wow a crowd of Colorado miners as easily as he captures the attention of London bluebloods. The film opens, surprisingly enough, in the Wild West, where Wilde delivers a talk on Socrates to a rapt body of grimy workers in a Leadville, Colorado quarry in 1882. After completing a one-year's lecture tour in the U.S. and Canada, he is wed to the lovely Constance (Jennifer Ehle) and has two sons, though it's obvious from the way he had looked at the bare-chested fellows in Colorado he has yet to mine nature's entreaties to indulge in the sensuous company of men. Enlightenment arrives in the form of a Canadian guest, Robbie Ross (Michael Sheen), who intuits the writer's bent and exposes himself while Constance is bedding her two sons.
As though to demonstrate the theory that it's not what you do that matters to anyone, it's what you appear to others to be doing, Wilde's alleged activities in male dens of iniquity cause society to buzz while at the same time the well-heeled of London flock to his plays, enjoying the manner by which the author satirizes the hypocritical customs of the upper class. It becomes apparent that the so-called rent boys with whom he fraternizes can safely ignore the country's laws against homosexuality since they are young and cast a low profile outside their usual haunts. Wilde's fall from grace begins when he is introduced to the dashingly handsome but petulant and promiscuous Alfred Douglas, aka Bosie (Jude Law), who hates his homophobic father and thereby insists on flaunting his relationship with the author.  Wilde goes ballistic, unsuccessfully sues the cantankerous and much-feared patrician, and is himself charged with criminal violation of England's anti- homosexuality laws. Jailed at hard labor for two years by a judge who treats the poor man as though he were a serial killer, Wilde suffers a physical decline, his creativity all but destroyed.
Though director Brian Gilbert's name has hardly been a household word, his "Wilde" is conclusively the best of the three accounts of the author's life to date. Ken Hughes's "The Trial of Oscar Wilds" (1960) was a triumph for Peter Finch in the title role and "Oscar Wilde," released at the same time by Gregory Ratoff, displayed an ideally cast Robert Morley as the hapless essayist. This production, however, is particularly blessed by featuring a man who resembles the writer most closely and moves the audience all the more because it focuses on Wilde's continued love for his enduring wife and for the children he was ultimately forbidden to see. Nothing in the version thirty-eight years ago boasts the gloss of the opening, unconventional scene in the American West, nor can the previous versions strut absolutely stellar supporting roles such as those of "Pride and Prejudice"'s Jennifer Ehle as wife Constance, blond god Jude Law as the love of Oscar's life, and Tom Wilkinson as the disagreeable marquess. As a result, Wilde's wit comes across most sharply, and we are motivated to read works featuring such bon mots as: "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it," "Work is the curse of the drinking class," and the especially pertinent one, "A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies." Not Rated. Running time: 115 minutes. (C) Harvey Karten 1998

My three life passions revolve around eating, exploring, and experiencing. These three interests give me desire to travel and discover the world by either walking the land or diving the sea. One place I have always wanted to step foot on is the world's most dangerous hiking trail, Mt. Hua Shan. I normally don't like dangerous climbing, but I long for a visit to the teahouse at the end of the trail to drink that best cup of tea. A simple desire such as a taste from that cup of tea triggers my ambition to immerse the world through a newfound experience.
Aside from my personal life...
I am a forth year Cognitive Science Human-Computer Interaction student at the University of California, San Diego. I became interested in HCI when I realized that our life is a fast and non-stopping interaction with technology. Being educated in this area, I wish to improve the quality of these interactions by using human-centered design. Those designs do not derive from the aesthetic appeal but instead originate from human needs. My goal is to immerse myself in the user's world in order to gather rich data to formulate an effective design. My studies have changed the way I view our world and I believe my vision can change yours as well. I pursued my passion for User Experience Research and Design to design for life.
Hangout is a platform designed to connect people with each other based on location and activity. In a team of 6, we conducted interviews, interpretation sessions, user testing and more in order to make sure our website is effective and user friendly.
This website is a platform for me to showcase my professional work. However, creating this site was a project itself. Learn more about my design choices and why I constructed this site to the way it is.

Abstract:
How easy is it to hack a SQL Server? In this session we'll see a few examples on how to exploit SQL Server, modify data and take control, while at the same time not leaving a trace. We'll start by gaining access to a SQL Server (using some creative ways of making man-in-the-middle attacks, and other ways), escalating priviledges and tampering with data at the TDS protocol level (e.g. changing your income level and reverting without a trace after payment), and more. Most importantly, we'll also cover recommendations on how to avoid these attacks. This is a demo-driven session, suited for DBAs, developers and security consultants (Jedi level). Disclaimer: No actual state secrets will be revealed. Please do not send agents to my house again.
Speaker(s): André Melancia,
Abstract:
Delivering eye-catching insight has now become almost ludicrously easy. You just fire up Power BI and … Wait a second. Yes it is has never been easier to add the “wow” factor to presentations based on data. However there are still techniques, tricks and traps that you need to know if you are going to leave your audience impressed with your insights rather than drowning in your data. This session takes you through the use and limitations of all the visualizations that come out-of-the-box with Power BI, as well as a quick tour of many of the custom visuals that are now available. You will see which type of delivery is best suited to which kind of data. You will also learn how best to structure and adapt the Power BI data model so that it can feed into the different visualizations for maximum effect.
Speaker(s): Adam Aspin,
Abstract:
Azure SQL DB has had Row Level Security and Dynamic Data Masking for a while now, SQL Server 2016 brings that on-premises. But just how can you use it, what changes do you need to make to your model to get the most from it? These new features have the potential to really improve application security, especially in compliance scenarios. Pushing the security restrictions down into the database layer has many benefits, notably only the data needed leaves the database. But there are a number of gotchas that you need to be aware of that can really mess up performance if you get them wrong. In this session we will look at how you can get the most out of these features and retain the performance of your system.
 The time has come to tame these beasts, and the solution is available now, in SQL Server 2012. New T-SQL functions offer out-of-the-box solutions for many problems that previously required complex workarounds. Paging, Running totals, Moving aggregates, YTD, and much more comes at the power of your fingertips in SQL Server 2012. The only thing you need to do is learn the syntax. And that is exactly what this session is all about: a thorough description and explanation of the syntax, and loads of demos to demonstrate how you can use all these new features. Attend this session to boldly take SQL Server where it has never gone before!
Speaker(s): Hugo Kornelis,
Abstract:
SSMS is the love child of what was Query Analyzer and Enterprise Manager and has ever since been used as the dev tool of choice for people creating and modifying database schemas and code. Whilst SSMS is a really good management tool it is not suited to modern development. Instead Microsoft has created SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools) which has had a lot of attention from Microsoft in the last few years which means that it is now ready for us to use full time. We will cover: * How to get your databases into SSDT and critically how to get them to compile correctly. * A tour of the SSDT features that show how T-SQL development is actually easier and how SSDT makes you more productive * The build deployment process so you can start concentrating on writing useful code instead of upgrade and release scripts. If you write, debug or modify SQL Server database code and haven't yet started using SSDT full time then this session will help you get started and be productive quickly.
Speaker(s): Ed Elliott,
Abstract:
Oscar Wilde once said "We are all in the gutter, but some of us have unit tests" and it is as true then as it is now - databases hold code and if you want to: - Make changes faster - Improve the quality of your code - Provide guaranteed examples that are proven to work Then you should look at database testing but what is database testing? What are unit tests? Integration tests? Acceptance tests? How do you get started and keep going with automated testing? In this session we will answer these questions and give examples of how to test database code and some of the challenges you will face along the way. Whether you are completly new to developer testing or have been been "a mocking and asserting" in c# or java for years this session will get you started writing tests for your database code.
Speaker(s): Ed Elliott,
Abstract:
In this session we will look at how IT Pros (and developers) *could* be completing their day to day tasks in a more efficient manner with effective Unit Testing and Source Control of their Scripts. This is a session where there will be chance to follow along (if you bring your own laptop) and learn in real time from the co-ordinator of the UK PowerShell User Groups - however you will also be lead to further community resources if you require further time after the session to get this built into your current day to day workflow. As this session will be focused towards SQL Professionals we will take a look at SQL Specifics that can be used within PowerShell Scripts Unit Testing.
Speaker(s): Ryan Yates,
Abstract:
When you design IoT solutions in the Azure cloud there are some things you are going to need to do. Being able to send events to a resilient queue that can handle millions of transactions per second is fine but what do you do about security? Surely you only want registered devices to be able to send to that queue? What about storing details about those devices too? Maybe we want to be able to tell where a device is located, its model and serial number. IoT solutions very often are not a one way street. Having devices send their data to the cloud is great but often you need the cloud to talk back to your device. OK so our data is in the cloud but now what? What do we do with it? What can we do with it? This session is going to show you how to solve all of these things. It is going to be heavy on demos and will build the solution in stages so nobody gets lost. We'll use a mixture of technologies all of which are available in Azure. Come to the session to learn more.
Speaker(s): Allan Mitchell,
Abstract:
This isn’t the dark ages any more. You’ve learned that you need to put your database in source control and you’re competent with source control systems like TFS or Git. You’ve also learned how to express your database in script form using a tool like SSDT, Flyway or Redgate. However, you still haven’t written as many automated tests as you know you should and you aren’t convinced you’re going about it the right way. You haven’t really looked at the build functionality in VSTS yet or gotten to grips with build servers like TeamCity or Jenkins, and even if you have you aren’t sure how the process should work for SQL Server builds and tests. In this session I’ll explain how to use tSQLt to build a suite of automated tests to give you confidence in the quality of your code. Then I’ll talk through various ways to automate your database builds and run those tests on some schedule or trigger. I’ll also discuss the pros and cons of various different approaches so that you can understand
Speaker(s): Alex Yates,
Abstract:
Want to get the best out of your SQL Server systems? Then you really ought to monitor them! With the rise of Cloud, with hosted virtual machines and Azure SQL DB, adding to the mix of on-premises physical and virtual machines, having one tool that can give you this single view is vital. Monitoring enables you to understand where you have pain points and allows you to make the most out of these disparate systems. With SQL Sentry tools we can monitor every type of SQL Server wherever it resides; AWS Virtual Machines, Azure SQL DB, in your Datacenter, or hosted in Rackspace. Join us as we help you understand what, and how SQL Sentry can help you get the most from your SQL Server Data Platform, wherever it is.
Speaker(s): John Martin,
Abstract:
Errors can occur anywhere within an SSIS package and the cause and error message can be somewhat cryptic. This session focuses on identifying error causes and handling them dynamically and proactively. The means of dealing with errors is defined by where the error occurs and we will cover error handling in control flow, data flow, and script tasks in great detail. You will learn: •To identify the different error handling methods in control flow, data flow, and script tasks •Be able to utilize event handlers to proactively handle errors •Be able to redirect data error and proactively handle data flow errors •Be able to identify error descriptions and log error details
Speaker(s): David Dye,
Abstract:
SSIS is an awesome ETL tool and can perform incredibly fast, when used right. Understanding more about how it works can help you make the best design decisions to maximise performance.

Speaker(s): Alex Whittles,
Abstract:
The system database TempDB has often been called a dumping ground, even the public toilet of SQL Server.  In this session you will learn to find those criminal activities that are going on deep in the depths of SQL Server that are causing performance issues, not just for one session, but that affects everybody on that instance.
Speaker(s): Lord Richard Douglas,
Abstract:
In this session we will cover off the different elements that make PowerShell a language that is built upon making itself easier to discover. We will cover Functions, Aliases, Help Topics, Modules, Cmdlets, Objects, Methods and Properties and how understanding these different aspects makes your time in PowerShell much simpler to get to grips with and can really help you adopt the language in a much more efficient way going forward. This session should leave you with a greater understanding of the PowerShell Language and give you the ability to go and discover more of the language and how it works.

Speaker(s): André Kamman,
Abstract:
U-SQL is the new kid on the SQL language block. In this session we'll look at the what, where, why and how of the language. Is it a query language? Is it a data transformation language? Will it replace T-SQL? Should you learn it? Where is it? We'll discuss all this and more.
Speaker(s): Alex Whittles,
Abstract:

Abstract:
Do you believe the myths that “Third Normal Form is good enough”, or that “Higher Normal Forms are hard to understand”? Do you believe the people who claim that these statements are myths? Or do you prefer to form your own opinion? If you take database design seriously, you cannot afford to miss this session. You will get a clear and easy to understand overview of all the higher Normal Forms: what they are, how to check if they are met, and what consequences their violations can have. This will arm you with the knowledge to reject the myths about higher Normal Forms. But, more important: it will make you a better designer!

Jun Hyun Moo reportedly dating fellow KBS announcer Lee Hye Sung
by beansssAccording to an exclusive report on November 12, announcer/MC Jun Hyun Moo (42) is dating a fellow KBS announcer, Lee Hye Sung (27).
The exclusive report stated that Jun Hyun Moo and Lee Hye Sung recently began dating, due to their similar interests in a variety of topics. The two stars both debuted as announcers on KBS - Jun Hyun Moo in 2006, and Lee Hye Sung in 2016.
Earlier this year, Jun Hyun Moo and Lee Hye Sung were both present at a press conference for KBS2's 'Boss In The Mirror' with Lee Hye Sung MC-ing the event, and then again 'Happy Together 4' with Lee Hye Sung as a guest. Jun Hyun Moo was then the first guest to appear on Lee Hye Sung's KBS radio program, 'Heart Fluttering Night'.
Stay tuned for word from their agencies.


Ex-Liverpool star Dominic Matteo fighting brain tumour in hospital
The 45-year-old former defender underwent a major operation this week
by Paul ClarkeFormer Liverpool star Dominic Matteo is recovering after fighting a brain tumour in hospital.
The 45-year-old underwent a major operation on Monday and is recovering after coming out of intensive care.
Messages of support flooded in for the former defender from Liverpool FC, his former teammates and other footballers.
Rio Ferdinand tweeted: "Sending my best wishes to my former teammate."
Liverpool FC wrote: "We wish Dom a full and speedy recovery and will offer any support we can to his wife and family."
Matteo featured for Liverpool from 1992 to 2000 before he joined Leeds United in 2000.
The defender also played for Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City during the back end of his career before retiring in 2009.

Matteo also took the field for England under-21s before switching allegiances and featuring for Scotland at senior international level.
Amid the developments in regards to his health, Liverpool have sent a message to Matteo and his family at this difficult time.
A Liverpool FC spokesperson said: "The thoughts of everyone at the club are with Dom, his family and friends and we will be offering our support to them throughout this difficult time."
"A popular member of the Liverpool side in the 1990s and a regular pundit and commentator on LFCTV in recent years, Matteo made his debut for the Reds in October 1993.
"He went on to become a regular under Roy Evans and later Gerard Houllier for four seasons from 1996-97, making a total of 155 appearances for the club.
"Matteo – who also represented Scotland at international level – departed for Leeds United in 2000, where he spent four years, before spells with Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City.
"We wish Dom a full and speedy recovery and will offer any support we can to his wife and family.
"Dom's family would like to place on record their gratitude to all staff at Leeds General Infirmary and express their thanks for all the messages of support they have received."

xDrive provides access to files in a Blackboard Xythos1 server via the xService RESTful services. Supported files can be downloaded and viewed in app. After a file is downloaded it is cached and can be viewed when offline.
xDrive is designed to be customizable by allowing the organization's Xythos application admin to specify a set of default paths to be created as tab bar items. For instance at ACU, our default paths are Home, Courses, Departments, and Browse. Tab bar items can then be rearranged and saved according to user needs.
Future features:
xDrive was created by Chris Gibbs as a "10%" side project while working at Abilene Christian University.
xService is an open-source Java webapp that provides the RESTful services for xDrive to access Blackboard Xythos1.
It can be installed on any Xythos application server and customized to the organization's needs. xService was originally developed for ACU's myMobile Files web interface by Harvey McQueen and later customized by Chris Gibbs for use with xDrive.

A first (rough, pre-alpha) demo of the Binance Decentralized Exchange (DEX), showing issuing, listing and trading of tokens. All cli based, no GUI yet. A small step for #BinanceChain, a big step for #binance. https://t.co/2aXkR0gclP
Cryptoon09-Aug-18 07:54 AM
the app is called hyper it seems?
anyway, no way to see if they are actually using atomic swaps or whatever
Andersen09-Aug-18 07:55 AM
Yes , in left corner i see HYPER
Cryptoon09-Aug-18 07:57 AM
@hyperDEX you guys working with binance?
Also, they are trading bnb with xxx token
bnb is ERC20, so kind of curious to see how they will trade it against a non erc20 token
Andersen09-Aug-18 08:02 AM
xxx=KMD
KomodoWorld09-Aug-18 08:06 AM
too little details yet
we don't even know if it supports only erc20 or other coins, let alone which tech it uses
Cryptoon09-Aug-18 08:09 AM
Yeah for all we know it just has a centralized backbone
Hollowman900009-Aug-18 08:10 AM
I’d say the potential upside of buying KMD now vastly outweighs the downside(edited)

Search, browse and learn about the Federal Register.  I already posted the real news earlier today. ICE !
There is no need at all, for a ETF with the product they announced, that they own the NYSE !

if lower, fine

exit slowly on the way up, is my advice...

I am Also thinking about Exot-Plan for next Bull run... @snowdamn how Do you mean: Do not exit at first retest of ATH?
snowdamn09-Aug-18 08:59 AM
means if you stay in all the way to ATH levels you should aim higher
if you exit on the way up, any point you feel comfortable with is fine

Dont cash out
Maybe I'll cash 10% out every time komodo goes up $10

so maybe this will also be a great time for reentry
or at least taking risks :p
we ll see.. in 2019
calendar of mmV2 and max postpone time of etf may be a sign
lol
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:10 AM
I suggest exit is similar to entry, ie. not easy, unpredictable, impossible to be 100% correct. A cost averaging is known to be a good way to enter, so use the same method for exit. When accumulating, cost average. When divesting, also, cost average
Deleted User09-Aug-18 09:11 AM
it all depends on what stash people got and what they perceive as profitable
and what reasonable "moon" they estimate to be enough
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:11 AM
and again I repeat that that stuff is not predictable, so dont bother to try
the hodl strategy works across bull/bear cycles
Deleted User09-Aug-18 09:12 AM
that's what I do
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:13 AM
so for those that cost averaged during the 2013 to 2015 period, then even now it is at significant profits. that is the point of hodl, to remove the timing aspect, so combine it with cost averaging.
Deleted User09-Aug-18 09:13 AM
yeah, true
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:13 AM
say you put in $10,000 over 100 days, $100 per day 3 years ago
now it should be worth $100,000+, so average out $100 per day
snowdamn09-Aug-18 09:14 AM
@jl777c did you read about the crypto bank that will offer up to 15% APR on deposits? exactly the competition KMD needs for people to get it! (edited)
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:14 AM
yes, it will take 3 years and sometimes when the bull comes back, you cant cash out fast enough that your marketvalue grows faster than you can withdraw
that is called a good problem
when you have sufficient fiat for the forseable future, stop
@snowdamn no idea how any legit "bank" can offer 15% APR on deposits
snowdamn09-Aug-18 09:16 AM
let me find the link
probably with fine print... "might lose everything, especially if rogue ITstaff empties wallets" lol
Ledgerx announced the soft launch of its Ledgersavings, a new service that allows users to deposit BTC and accrue interest on the deposits.
not exactly a bank, but you get my drift
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:18 AM
that is totally different
snowdamn09-Aug-18 09:19 AM
i'd rather hodl the crypto myself and get the 5% APR directly (in more crypto)
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:19 AM
selling call options and calling the premium "interest" is totally disingenious,
when you sell a call option, you sell the rights to the gains! so it if moons, you dont participate
however, if it drops, you still get stuck with the loss.
so this is NOTHING at all like interest
with interest, you still participate in the upside
but its regulated, so people will believe the nonsense
and when BTC moons and they find out they get their 16% but not the 300%...
snowdamn09-Aug-18 09:20 AM
yes, but more offers like these and better chances for people to get what KMD does
jl777c09-Aug-18 09:21 AM
true. with KMD the 5% rewards dont require to you sell anything, and when it moons, you still participate
snowdamn09-Aug-18 09:25 AM
and if stable mooning, very healthy yearly income (if enough accumulation)

jr.trump09-Aug-18 12:33 PM
When I have looked there is no way to sell or buy Pearl Pay if it is not from ICO
I have of when the prices of the cryptocurrencies were higher, now they have gone down and I am not interested in having a cryptocurrency that even in a couple of months will not go to an exchanger as soon
That's why I sell it cheaper than even in the private sale of the ICO that they are doing
I bought more than $ 200 and now I sell it at $ 130, I think I offer a great opportunity for someone looking to invest in this project

libuser.conf
Section: File Formats (5)Updated: 2010-02-08
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
libuser.conf - configuration for libuser and libuser utilitiesFILE FORMAT
libuser.conf is a text file. Leading and trailing white space on each line is ignored. Lines starting with # are ignored.The file defines variables grouped into sections. Each section starts with a section header:
- [section name]
The lines following a section header define variables from that section:
- variable = value
A variable can have more than one value, specified by using more than one line defining that variable. All currently defined variables accept only the first value and ignore the others, if any.
[defaults]
- create_modules
-
A list of module names to use when creating user or group entries,
unless the application specifies a different list.
The module names in the list can be separated using space, tab or comma.
Default value is files shadow.
- crypt_style
-
The algorithm to use for password encryption when creating new passwords.
The current algorithm may be retained
when changing a password of an existing user, depending on the application.
Possible values are des, md5, blowfish, sha256 and sha512, all case-insensitive. Unrecognized values are treated as des. Default value is des.
- hash_rounds_min, hash_rounds_max
-
These variables specify an inclusive range of hash rounds used when
crypt_style
is
sha256
or sha512.
A number of hash rounds is chosen from this interval randomly.
A larger number of rounds makes password checking, and brute-force attempts
to guess the password by reversing the hash, more CPU-intensive.
The number of rounds is restricted to the interval [1000, 999999999].
If only one of the above variables is specified, the number of rounds used is specified by the other variable. If neither variable is specified, the number of rounds is chosen by libc.
- mailspooldir
-
The directory containing user's mail spool files.
Default value is /var/mail.
- moduledir
-
The directory containing
libuser
modules.
Default value uses the modules installed with libuser,
corresponding to the architecture of the
libuser
library,
e.g. /usr/lib/libuser or /usr/lib64/libuser
(assuming
libuser
was configured with --prefix=/usr).
- modules
-
A list of module names to use when not creating user or group entries,
unless the application specifies a different list.
The module names in the list can be separated using space, tab or comma.
Default value is files shadow.
- skeleton
-
The directory containing files to copy to newly created home directories.
Default value is /etc/skel.
[import]
- login_defs
-
A path to the
login.defs
file from shadow.
If this variable is defined,
the variables from the named file are used in place of some
libuser
variables.
Variables explicitly defined in
libuser.conf
are not affected by contents of login.defs.
The following variables are imported:
Variable Imported as ENCRYPT_METHOD GID_MIN groupdefaults/LU_GIDNUMBER MAIL_DIR defaults/mailspooldir MD5_CRYPT_ENAB defaults/crypt_style PASS_MAX_DAYS userdefaults/LU_SHADOWMAX PASS_MIN_DAYS userdefaults/LU_SHADOWMIN PASS_WARN_AGE userdefaults/LU_SHADOWWARNING SHA_CRYPT_MIN_ROUNDS defaults/hash_rounds_min SHA_CRYPT_MAX_ROUNDS defaults/hash_rounds_max UID_MIN userdefaults/LU_UIDNUMBER The following variables are not imported: CREATE_HOME, GID_MAX, MAIL_FILE, SYSLOG_SG_ENAB, UID_MAX, UMASK, USERDEL_CMD, USERGROUPS_ENAB
- default_useradd
-
A path to the
default/useradd
file from
useradd
in shadow.
If this variable is defined,
the variables from the named file are used in place of some
libuser
variables.
Variables explicitly defined in
libuser.conf
are not affected by contents of default/useradd.
The following variables are imported:
Variable Imported as EXPIRE GROUP userdefaults/LU_GIDNUMBER HOME userdefaults/LU_HOMEDIRECTORY INACTIVE userdefaults/LU_SHADOWINACTIVE SHELL userdefaults/LU_LOGINSHELL SKEL defaults/skeleton The HOME variable value has /%n appended to it before importing.
[userdefaults]
This section defines attribute values of newly created user entities. There is one special variable:
- LU_UIDNUMBER
-
A decimal number, the first allowed UID value for regular users (not system
users).
Default value is 500.
All other variables have the same names as the attribute names from <libuser/entity.h> and define attribute values. Either the macro name (e.g. LU_GECOS) or the macro content (e.g. pw_gecos) can be used; if both are used, the one appearing later in the configuration file is used.
The % character in the value of the variable introduces an escape sequence: %n is replaced by the user name, %d is replaced by current date in days since the epoch, %u is replaced by the user's UID. There is no way to escape the % character and avoid this substitution.
After the userdefaults section is processed, modules may define additional attributes or even override the attributes defined in this section.
[groupdefaults]
The groupdefaults section is similar to userdefaults. There is one special variable:
- LU_GIDNUMBER
-
A decimal number, the first allowed GID value for regular groups (not system
groups).
Default value is 500.
The other variables follow the same rules as in the userdefaults section, except that %n and %u are replaced by the group name and group's GID, respectively.
After the groupdefaults section is processed, modules may define additional attributes or even override the attributes defined in this section.
[files]
Configures the files module, which manages /etc/group and /etc/passwd. The configuration variables are probably useful only for libuser development.
- directory
-
The directory containing the
group
and
passwd
files.
Default value is /etc.
- nonroot
-
Allow module initialization when not invoked as the
root
user if the value is yes.
[shadow]
Configures the files module, which manages /etc/gshadow and /etc/shadow. The configuration variables are probably useful only for libuser development.
- directory
-
The directory containing the
gshadow
and
shadow
files.
Default value is /etc.
- nonroot
-
Allow module initialization when not invoked as the
root
user if the value is yes.
[ldap]
Configures the ldap module, which manages an user database accessible using LDAP.
- userBranch
-
The LDAP suffix for user entities.
Default value is ou=People.
- groupBranch
-
The LDAP suffix for group entities.
Default value is ou=Group.
- server
-
A domain name or an URI of the LDAP server.
The URI can use the
ldap
or the
ldaps
protocol.
When a simple domain name is used,
the connection fails if TLS can not be used;
an URI using the
ldap
protocol allows connection without TLS.
Default value is ldap.
- basedn
-
The base DN of the server.
Default value is dc=example,dc=com.
- binddn
-
A DN for binding to the server.
If the value is empty or binding using this DN fails,
a DN of uid=user,userBranch,basedn is used, where
userBranch
and
basedn
are variables from this section
and
user
is the user name of the invoking user, unless overridden by the
user
variable from this section.
Default value is cn=manager,dc=example,dc=com.
- user
-
The SASLv2 identity for authenticating to the LDAP server,
also overrides the user name for generating a bind DN.
Default value is the name of the invoking user.
- password
-
The password used for a simple bind by default. If not specified, there is
no default and the user must supply the password each time.
- authuser
-
The SASLv2 authorization user, if non-empty.
Default value is empty.
- bindtype
-
The list of bind types to use, separated by commas.

The bind types (but not necessarily mechanism) are case-insensitive.
If more than one bind type is specified, their relative order is ignored.
Default value is simple,sasl.
[sasl]
Configures the sasl module, which manages a SASLv2 user database.
- appname
-
Name of the SASLv2 application.
Default value is empty.
- domain
-
Domain used by libuser for the SASLv2 authentication object.
Default value is empty.
BUGS
Invalid lines in the configuration file (or the imported shadow configuration files) are silently ignored.FILES
- /etc/libuser.conf
-
The default location of the configuration file. Can be overridden
by the
LIBUSER_CONF
environment variable, except in set-uid or set-gid programs.

China Drags Global Electrified-Car Sales Down for Second Month
by Bloomberg(Bloomberg) -- Global sales of electrified vehicles declined for a second straight month as China’s cooling economy and the country’s move to reduce subsidies weighed on demand, SNE Research said.
Sales of pure electric and hybrid vehicles fell 0.9% from a year earlier to 444,000 units in September, the battery research firm said in a statement Wednesday. About 126,000 units were sold in Europe, 113,000 in China and 64,000 in the U.S. In the first nine months, sales increased 17% to 3.74 million.
A prolonged car-sales slump in China, the world’s biggest consumer of electric vehicles, is dragging down the global market. The country is reducing EV subsidies amid concerns about a bubble in the industry just as a slowing economy weighs on demand for big-ticket items such as cars.
Sales of electrified vehicles measured by battery capacity fell 10.5% in September -- also the second consecutive monthly drop -- led by declines in China and the U.S., SNE Research said. Demand for pure electric cars was weak, while sales of hybrids increased, it said.
In the first nine months, sale of electrified vehicles by battery capacity increased 46%.


| pipes {promises} | R Documentation |
Promise-aware pipe operators, in the style of magrittr.
Like magrittr pipes, these operators can be used to chain together pipelines
of promise-transforming operations. Unlike magrittr pipes, these pipes wait
for promise resolution and pass the unwrapped value (or error) to the rhs
function call.
lhs %...>% rhs lhs %...T>% rhs lhs %...!% rhs lhs %...T!% rhs
lhs |
A promise object. |
rhs |
A function call using the magrittr semantics. It can return either a promise or non-promise value, or throw an error. |
The >
variants are for handling successful resolution, the !
variants are
for handling errors. The T
variants of each return the lhs instead of the
rhs, which is useful for pipeline steps that are used for side effects
(printing, plotting, saving).
promise %...>% func()
is equivalent to promise %>% then(func)
.
promise %...!% func()
is equivalent to promise %>% catch(func)
.
promise %...T>% func()
is equivalent to promise %T>% then(func)
.
promise %...T!% func()
is equivalent to promise %T>%
catch(func)
or promise %>% catch(func, tee = TRUE)
.
One situation where 3. and 4. above break down is when func()
throws an
error, or returns a promise that ultimately fails. In that case, the failure
will be propagated by our pipe operators but not by the
