Trailing whitespaces are simply useless and should not stay in code. They may generate noise when comparing different versions of the same file.
If you encounter issues from this rule, this probably means that you are not using an automated code formatter - which you should if you have the opportunity to do so.

This chain is composed of one class and it is recurrent.
This chain is composed of two classes and they are both recurrent.
This chain is composed of three classes: one transient and two recurrent.
This chain is composed of four classes: two transient and two recurrent.
We can build a matrix based on the information given that indicates the probability of transitioning between a car or truck. We can then use eigendecomposition in order to compute the stationary distribution of this markov chain to determine the fraction of vehicles on the road that are trucks.
The stationary distribution has the property \(\pi^{T} = \pi^{T}P\).
library(MASS)
# define probability transition matrix
m <- matrix(c(1/4, 1/5, 3/4, 4/5), nrow = 2, ncol = 2)
# calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors
eg <- eigen(m)
rvec <- eg$vectors
lvec <- ginv(eg$vectors)
vals <- eg$values
# this should return the original matrix
rvec %*% diag(vals) %*% ginv(rvec)
[,1] [,2]
[1,] 0.25 0.75
[2,] 0.20 0.80
# and this should output the stationary distribution
lvec[1, ]/sum(lvec[1, ])
[1] 0.2105263 0.7894737
Thus we can see that 21% of vehicles on the road are trucks, while 79% are cars.
We can also turn this into a function to use for later:
calc.stat.dist <- function(P) {
# calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors
eg <- eigen(P)
rvec <- eg$vectors
lvec <- ginv(eg$vectors)
vals <- eg$values
# this should return the original matrix
# stopifnot(rvec%*%diag(vals)%*%ginv(rvec) == P)
# and this should output the stationary distribution
return(lvec[1, ]/sum(lvec[1, ]))
}
If we consider four different possibilities that include F:F, F:B, B:F, and B:B in terms of leaving to go on the run and returning we can calculate the probability of running barefoot for small values of k by generating a probability transition matrix anf finding the stationary distribution.
For k = 2:
P <- matrix(c(c(3/4, 1/4, 0), c(1/4, 1/2, 1/4), c(0, 1/4, 3/4)), nrow = 3)
S <- calc.stat.dist(P)
S[1]
[1] 0.3333333
For k = 3:
P <- matrix(c(c(3/4, 1/4, 0, 0), c(1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 0), c(0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4), c(0,
0, 1/4, 3/4)), nrow = 4)
S <- calc.stat.dist(P)
S[1]
[1] 0.25
For k = 4:
P <- matrix(c(c(3/4, 1/4, 0, 0, 0), c(1/4, 1/2, 1/4, 0, 0), c(0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4,
0), c(0, 0, 1/4, 1/2, 1/4), c(0, 0, 0, 1/4, 3/4)), nrow = 5)
S <- calc.stat.dist(P)
S[1]
[1] 0.2
So we can see that the probability of running barefoot with K shoes is going to be \(\frac{1}{k+1}\).
A time reversible Markov chain is one where the states are traversered similarly from start to finish as from finish to start. Mathematically we can write this as \(P_{ij} = \frac{\pi_{j}P_{ji}}{\pi_{i}}\). This states that the probability of moving from state \(i\) to state \(j\) is equal to the stationary probability of being in state \(i\), times the probability of moving from state \(j\) to state \(i\), all over the stationary probability of being in state \(j\).
We can check this for all of our transitions:
P <- matrix(c(c(0, 1/2, 1/2), c(1/4, 1/2, 1/4), c(1/4, 1/4, 1/2)), nrow = 3)
S <- calc.stat.dist(P)
(S[1] * P[1, 2])/S[2]
[1] 0.25
P[2, 1]
[1] 0.5
(S[1] * P[1, 3])/S[3]
[1] 0.25
P[3, 1]
[1] 0.5
(S[2] * P[2, 3])/S[3]
[1] 0.25
P[3, 2]
[1] 0.25
Based on these examples, we can see that this markov chain is indeed time reversible.
We’re given the following probability matrix that represents the probability of transitioning between different nucleotides:
P <- matrix(c(0.1, 0.35, 0.3, 0.6, 0.8, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.25,
0.05, 0.45, 0.3, 0.05), nrow = 4)
(a)
The probability of observing “TATA” under this model can be found by calculating the stationary distribution and then multiplying the probabilites of transitioning between states “T”, “A”, “T”, and “A”. \(0.30 \cdot 0.318 \cdot 0.30 \cdot 0.318 =\) 0.001709.
(b)
First let’s define a function to simulate a discrete markov chain:
# simulate discrete Markov chains according to transition matrix P
run.mc.sim <- function(P, num.iters = 50) {
# number of possible states
num.states <- nrow(P)
# stores the states X_t through time
states <- numeric(num.iters)
# initialize variable for first state
states[1] <- 1
for (t in 2:num.iters) {
# probability vector to simulate next state X_{t+1}
p <- P[states[t - 1], ]
## draw from multinomial and determine state
states[t] <- which(rmultinom(1, 1, p) == 1)
}
return(states)
}
Now we will simulate this 10,000 times, followed by another 10,000 times where we sample every 100th base:
num.iterations <- 20000
# simulate chains
chain.states <- run.mc.sim(P, num.iters = num.iterations)
chain.states <- chain.states[10001:20000][seq(0, 10000, 100)]
matplot(chain.states, type = "l", lty = 1, col = 1:5, ylim = c(0, 5), ylab = "state",
xlab = "time")
abline(h = 1, lty = 3)
abline(h = 4, lty = 3)
We can see in the above plot of every 100th base what the probabilities were. Let’s calculate them individually:
table(chain.states)/100
chain.states
1 2 3 4
0.26 0.30 0.12 0.32
And compare those to the stationary distribution calculated using eigendecomposition:
calc.stat.dist(P)
[1] 0.3181481+0i 0.3356581-0i 0.1295444+0i 0.2166494+0i
They look pretty similar!
(c)
We can find the expected number of bases before observing “AACC” by simulating the markov chain many times and estimating the expectation.
num.chains <- 10000
num.iterations <- 100
chain.states <- matrix(NA, ncol = num.chains, nrow = num.iterations)
for (c in seq_len(num.chains)) {
chain.states[, c] <- run.mc.sim(P, num.iters = num.iterations)
}
We can then search through the various simulations and search for the desired sequences:
library(stringr)
results <- apply(chain.states, 2, function(x) {
str_locate(pattern = "1133", paste(x, collapse = ""))
})
successes <- results[!is.na(results)]
sum(successes)/length(successes)
[1] 49.85606
Not sure where we were supposed to get the data for this one so I’ll generate it myself?
# simulated binary observations
m <- rbinom(1000, size = 1, prob = 0.3)
First we want to fit a Bernoulli model to the data:
l <- function(X, p) {
ns <- sum(X)
return(log(p^(ns) * (1 - p)^(length(X) - ns)))
}
num.steps <- 100
sim.results <- numeric(num.steps)
pvec <- seq(0.01, 1, 0.01)
for (i in seq_len(num.steps)) {
sim.results[i] <- l(m, pvec[i])
}
plot(pvec, sim.results, type = "l")
We can see that the likelihood maximizes for 0.3, which is the value of \(p\) used to simulate the data.
We can then use this value of p to create a maximum likelihood estimate for the probability transition matrix, simulate the markov chain, and calculate the likelihood of the states.
P <- matrix(c(c(0.7, 0.3), c(0.7, 0.3)), nrow = 2)
iters <- 1000
states <- run.mc.sim(P, num.iters = iters)
l(states - 1, 0.3)

return(m)

l.screen <- function(m) {
nm <- matrix(0, nrow = nrow(m), ncol = 3)
nm[, 1] <- m[, 1]
nm[, 2] <- m[, 2]
nm[, 3] <- dgamma(m[, 1], scale = 0.5, shape = 2)/dgamma(m[, 1], scale = 1,
shape = 2)
return(nm)
}
We can use these functions to find out what value of c is most appropriate to classify a patient as diseased or not diseased
m <- sim.screen(1000, 0.2)
m <- l.screen(m)
cvec <- seq(0.1, 10, length = 100)
misclass <- sapply(cvec, function(c) {
# how often is the classification incorrect?
sum(m[, 2] == as.numeric(m[, 3] > c))/nrow(m)
})
theo.misclass <- sapply(cvec, function(c) {
0.2 * c/((0.8) + 0.2 * c)
})
plot(log10(cvec), misclass, xlab = "Misclassifications", ylab = "Log10(c)",
ylim = c(0, 1))
points(log10(cvec), theo.misclass, col = "red")
We can redo this simulation for a lower proportion of diseased individuals as well:
m <- sim.screen(1000, 0.02)
m <- l.screen(m)
cvec <- seq(0.1, 10, length = 100)
misclass <- sapply(cvec, function(c) {
# how often is the classification incorrect?
sum(m[, 2] == as.numeric(m[, 3] > c))/nrow(m)
})
theo.misclass <- sapply(cvec, function(c) {
0.02 * c/((0.98) + 0.02 * c)
})
plot(log10(cvec), misclass, xlab = "Misclassifications", ylab = "Log10(c)",
ylim = c(0, 1))
points(log10(cvec), theo.misclass, col = "red")
We can first show that the Gamma distribution is the conjugate prior for the Poisson likelihood:
\[ P(\vec{X}|\lambda)P(\lambda) \propto P(\lambda|\vec{X}) \\ P(\vec{X}|\lambda) = \frac{e^{-n\lambda} \lambda^{\sum x_{i}}}{\prod_{i=1}^{n}x_{i}} \\ P(\lambda) = \frac{\beta^{\alpha}}{\Gamma(\alpha)}\lambda^{\alpha-1}e^{-\lambda \beta} \\ P(\lambda|\vec{X}) \propto \lambda^{\sum x_{i} + \alpha - 1}e^{-(n + \beta)\lambda} \]
From this we can see that \(P(\lambda|\vec{X})\) ~ \(Gamma(\sum x_{i} + \alpha, n + \beta)\).
If we no consider that prior our prior parameters and data are \(\alpha=\beta=1\) and \(\vec{X} = [0,2,1,4,2,0,0,2]\), then we get the following:
\[ p(\lambda|\vec{X}) \propto \lambda^{10+\alpha}e^{-(8+\beta)\lambda} \] Which is distributed as a \(Gamma(11,9)\) distribution. To find the 90% credible interval we want to know where \(P(a < \lambda < b) = 0.9\). We can do this by applying a transformation to the Gamma distributed random variable \(\lambda\).
If \(\lambda\) ~ \(Gamma(\alpha, \beta)\), then \(\frac{2\lambda}{\alpha}\) ~ \(\chi^{2}(2\beta)\). Now our probability statement reads \(P(\frac{2a}{11} < Z < \frac{2b}{11}) = 0.9\). Using a standard chi-squared table for \(Z = \chi^{2}(18)\), we can find that \(a =\) 101.7115 and \(b =\) 240.7515.

AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS ---------------------
Eddie Thomas (John Cusack) and Gwen Harrison (Catherine Zeta-Jones) were America's favorite Hollywood couple, appearing in one blockbuster after another together. But when they teamed up with genius filmmaker Hal Weidmann (Christopher Walken), Gwen began an affair with her Spanish supporting costar Hector (Hank Azaria, "The Birdcage") that drove Eddie into an asylum and Gwen off the box office charts. It's now up to Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) to get the two together for the press junket of Weidmann's film in "America's Sweethearts."
Lee's not only dealing with warring costars - Weidmann is holding his film hostage and Lee has to keep the press preoccupied so they don't notice they're not seeing the movie. Lee puts the focus on the separated couple, leaking videotape of an apparently masturbating Eddie outside of Gwen's cottage followed by a picture of them canoodling in a car. This brings the jealous Hector out to the desert resort to beat Eddie senseless and provide more publicity. Meanwhile, Gwen's sister/assistant Kiki (Julia Roberts), who's shed sixty pounds since Gwen and Eddie's breakup, has consummated her long time crush on Eddie by falling into bed with him.
Writers Billy Crystal and Peter Tolan ("Analyze This") had a brilliant idea to anchor a screwball comedy, but while they sprinkle the script with several brilliant bits, their story begins to deflate just when it should be reaching its comic climax. They neglect to develop some characters, most notably Eddie, and their big moment, when Weidmann finally unspools his film, is painfully unfunny.
"America's Sweethearts'" all star cast, therefore, have varying degrees of success bringing this thing to life. Firstly, Julia Roberts must be given credit for creating the most human, audience empathetic, character in Kiki. Long subjected to the petty demands of her spoiled sister, Kiki soldiers on, coordinating hundreds of details lest Gwen encounter reality ('Is that the water with the electrolytes? I only drink water with the electrolytes.') Julia nails the film's best scene, where Kiki finally has her meltdown over a hungry man's breakfast, like the superstar pro she's become.
Most comical of the film's cast is Catherine Zeta-Jones as the high maintenance movie diva. She wheedles and pouts until her supreme unalienable right to be the center of the universe is granted. In a hilarious bit, as Lee is convincing her to attend the junket, we see her Doberman attack a window washer outside, bringing the man to the ground, mauling him. When Lee informs her of this as the huge beast bounds into the room, she coos 'puppy!' obliviously.
The always dependable John Cusack tries to inject his considerable charm into Eddie Thomas. While he's marginally appealing, the character has been so neglected by the writers that he comes across shallowly. Hank Azaria starts off well, doing what appears to be a parody of Antonio Banderas, but his lisping, heavy accent gets wearisome quickly. Crystal's given himself many of his movie's best lines, but he barely breaks a sweat creating his PR guy. Christopher Walken's miscast as the Hal Ashby-like director who edits his films in the Unabomber's shack, which he's had transported to the grounds of his estate. Stanley Tucci is fine as the hand-wringing studio head beholden to Phillips after having fired him, while Seth Green disappears into the background as Lee's protege who was to have replaced him. Alan Arkin amusingly plays the 'Richard Libertini role' of Eddie's self help guru.
The Hyatt Regency Lake Las Vegas Resort is a good location choice for this glossy production, luxurious yet remote. Unfortunately, the cast careening around its grounds keep the audience remote more often than they allow them to luxuriate in classic comedy.

they make interesting assumption: using ML to generate code is starting from the hypothesis of similarity to human language
The naturalness hypothesis: Software is a form of human communication; software corpora have similar statistical properties to natural language corpora; and these properties can be exploited to build better software engineering tools [[table_of_contents#2 1 the problem of understanding in human and machines]]
Programming languages narrow the gap between computers and the human mind: they construct palatable abstractions out of a multitude of minute state transitions. Source code has two audiences and is inherently bimodal: it communicates along two channels: one with humans, and one with computers. Humans must understand code to read and write it; computers must be able to execute it. The bimodality of code drives the similarities and differences between it and text
Code is often semantically brittle —small changes (e.g. swapping function arguments) can drastically change the meaning of code; whereas natural language is more robust in that readers can often understand text even if it contains mistakes. (p.5)
Programming languages, on the other hand, can be translated between each other exactly, as all mainstream programming languages are Turing-complete. (That said, porting real-world programs to new languages and platforms remains challenging in practice).
Finally, executability gives rise to additional modalities of code — its static and dynamic views (e.g. execution traces), which are not present in text. Learning over traces or flows are promising directions
the trace is an interesting concept: like ariadne’s thread
CODE MUST BE SYNTACTICALLY UNAMBIGUOUS, but it’s conceptually ambiguous (e.g. what does counter
refer to?)
Code’s two channels, the algorithmic and the explanatory channels, interact through their semantic units, but mapping code units to textual units remains an open problem. Natural semantic units in code are identifiers, statements, blocks, and functions. None of these universally maps to textual semantic units.
an arbitrary statement is far more likely to use domain-specific, even project-specific, names or neologisms than an arbitrary sentence is. Blocks vary greatly in length and semantics richness and often lack clear boundaries to a human reader. Functions are clearly delimited and semantically rich, but long.
A function differs from a sentence or a sequence of sentences, i.e. a paragraph, in that it is named and called, while, in general settings, sentences or paragraphs rarely have names or are referred to elsewhere in a text. Further, a single function acts on the world, so it is like a single action sentence, but is usually much longer, often containing hundreds of tokens, and usually performs multiple actions, making a function closer to a sequence of sentences, or a paragraph, but paragraphs are rarely solely composed of action sentences
they are necessary for a statistical ingestion of code, such as Hellendoorn and Devanbu [84] noticed that code has a high degree of localness, where identifiers (e.g. variable names) are repeated often within close distance.
aka patterns have a technical manifestation as well


STEEL
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.0 Alternative Scale: ** out of ****
United States, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 8/15/97 (wide) Running Length: 1:45 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Shaquille O'Neal, Annabeth Gish, Judd Nelson, Richard Roundtree, Irma B. Hall Director: Kenneth Johnson Producers: Quincy Jones, Savid Salzman, & Joel Simon Screenplay: Kenneth Johnson Cinematography: Mark Irwin Music: Mervyn Warren U.S. Distributor: Universal Pictures
STEEL may be the title, but the real metal of this lame superhero flick is more like tin. After striking gold big time at the box office with SUPERMAN and BATMAN, Warner Brothers has decided to bring to the screen another, less familiar DC Comics protagonist. Like the Caped Crusader, Steel is just an impressive physical specimen in an extraordinary suit that's equipped with a lot of neat gadgets. And, as was true of the most recent BATMAN flick, STEEL is far too silly to be taken at all seriously. The concept may not be bad, but there are times when the execution borders on embarassing.
STEEL is the second comic book-to-screen adaptation to arrive in theaters this month. But, aside from the inspiration's format, there are few similarities between this movie and SPAWN. Whereas the latter was all style and little substance, this isn't the case with STEEL. This movie has decidely unimpressive set designs and takes place in a mundane, modern Los Angeles. The film is story-driven, even if that story is distinctly juvenile. The PG-13 rating is based exclusively on violence. The target audience appears to be young teenage boys; anyone not in that category may find themselves less-than-enthralled by this experience.
STEEL begins with an interminable "origins" sequence that explains (albeit not very convincingly) how Steel came into existence. John Henry Irons (Shaquille O'Neal), Lt. Sparks (Annabeth Gish), and Nathaniel Burke (Judd Nelson) are all members of an elite military weapons development team.  To curry favor with a visiting senator, Burke cranks up the power too high on a weapon, and the result is a disaster. The senator is killed and Sparks loses the use of her legs. As a result, Burke is thrown out of the military and goes to work for himself. John also leaves, although of his own volition, and returns to L.A., where he helps his uncle (the venerable Richard Roundtree) out at a local junk yard.
Then Burke's weapons start appearing on the streets of L.A., and John realizes he has to do something to stop them. So, like any law- abiding citizen, he creates a superhero alter-ego. With the help of Sparks and Uncle Joe, Steel combs the benighted streets of the City of Angels, seeking to stop crime wherever it can be uncovered. He confounds a mugger, stops a gang fight, and, eventually, comes face to face with the group of theives using Burke's sonic weapon to gain illegal entry to the Federal Reserve.
Annabeth Gish (BEAUTIFUL GIRLS) has a winning smile and is suitably sweet as Sparks, and Judd Nelson has the villain's sneer down pat. But STEEL's lead actor, Shaquille O'Neal, shows that he's got a long way to go before being considered a competent actor. O'Neal is fine when he's in the Steel suit, but, out of it, he's prone to bouts of uncontrollable stiffness. It's not a pretty sight. Back when I reviewed the awful KAZAAM, I indicated that O'Neal has a palpable screen presence. My opinion hasn't changed -- it's just that, at this point, his acting has a distance to go before it catches up with his charisma. In supporting roles, Richard Roundtree (the immortal SHAFT himself) and Irma B. Hall are both delightful. In fact, Roundtree gives the film's most memorable peformance, continually stealing scenes from all of his co-stars.
Comic book collectors will insist that there's more depth to the characters than one might expect from the medium. That may be true, but it's not evident in STEEL, where everyone has a clearly-defined role and personality. None of these characters undergoes any significant growth, and the few stabs made at character development are trite and ineffective. Writer/director Kenneth Johnson is the same man who once wrote for THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN television show, and was credited for some of that program's most innovative storylines (including "The Bionic Woman" and "The Secret of Bigfoot"). But, while I enjoyed THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN when I was about ten, I no longer find it particularly satisfying or enjoyable (except, perhaps, in a campy sense). Much the same is true of STEEL -- its appeal is limited, and not adult in nature.

Sorting algorithms are used to sort a data structure according to a specific order relationship, such as numerical order or lexicographical order.
This operation is one of the most important and widespread in computer science. For a long time, new methods have been developed to make this procedure faster and faster.
There are currently hundreds of different sorting algorithms, each with its own specific characteristics.
They are classified according to two metrics: space complexity and time complexity.
Those two kinds of complexity are represented with asymptotic notations, mainly with the symbols O, Θ, Ω, representing
respectively the upper bound, the tight bound, and the lower bound of the algorithm's complexity, specifying in brackets an expression in terms of
n
, the number of the elements of the data structure.
Most of them fall into two categories:
n
.(n × log n)
.n
.(n2)
.Space and time complexity can also be further subdivided into 3 different cases: best case, average case and worst case.
Sorting algorithms can be difficult to understand and it's easy to get confused. We believe visualizing sorting algorithms can be a great way to better understand their functioning while having fun!

Why would this add any extra Boolean variables? As far as I can see,
it is just a bunch of very simple propagators (the decomposition of
the constraint distinct(X1, .., Xi-1, Yi, Xi+1, ... Xn)).

With domain consistency, this model would do more pruning than the
above decomposition. Consider variables x1,x2,x3 and y1,y2,y3 with
domains
x1,y2 in {1,2}
x2,x3,y1,y3 in {1,2,3}
then the constraint
distinct(x1,y2,x3)
would assign x3 the value 3, even though none of the variables is
assigned and neither distinct(x1,x2,x3) nor distinct(y1,y2,y3) would
prune anything.
On the other hand, there is a large number of such constraints, and
the overhead might not be worth the potential extra pruning.

I think you just have to test how the different models work in you
specific case. I would suggest that you distinct with all the
different levels of pruning, as well as the decomposition.
Hope this helps,

Samantha Came Under Attack for Supporting Mindless Act?
by Manaswini KYuva Samrat Naga Chaitanya celebrated his Birthday, a couple of days ago. Naga Chaitanya went on a holiday with his wife Samantha to celebrate the eve. Meanwhile, favorite hero’s Birthdays are always a celebration for fans. However, Sagar, an Akkineni fan from Bobbili decided to celebrate it differently.
He had a darshan of the deity at the famous Simhachalam Temple by climbing the steps on his knees. Some fans tagged Samantha to the video. However, Samantha’s response to it has drawn criticism. “Thankyou … this is incredible .. speechless 🙏 please meet us 🙏🤗 (sic),” she tweeted.
The response did evoke anger from the netizens. Many termed the act of the fan as senseless and Samantha supporting such an act did not go well with them. “Samantha should have encouraged fans to do something productive other than this mindless act. This kind of response will only prompt more fans to do such mindless acts,” a netizen opined.
Interestingly, the fan who trekked the hill on knees prayed to Lord to bless Naga Chaitanya and Samantha with a baby boy very soon.

Hong Kong protesters seek to hit government at district polls
HONG KONG: Hong Kong votes in district council elections Sunday (Nov 24) in a ballot the city's anti-government movement hopes will send a message to the Beijing-backed government.
The run-up to Sunday's polls has seen a muting of major rallies and violent clashes between police and protesters, respite for a city battered by nearly six months of unprecedented political unrest.
Protest forums have urged citizens to vote and to pause acts of disruption in case the government pushes back the polls, which open on Sunday morning for 4.1 million registered voters.
Posts by anti-government users on the popular online board LiHKG urged supporters "not to jeopardise the election".

READ: Hong Kong protests slacken ahead of closely watched poll
The district council polls normally stir little excitement, dominated by candidates allied to the China-backed government with a remit over everyday tasks such as rubbish collections and planning decisions.
But with protests roughing up the city, anti-government candidates are hoping to make a statement to Chief Executive Carrie Lam and the pro-Beijing government, which have refused to concede to the movement's demands.
The poll to choose 452 councillors across 18 districts is the closest voters in Hong Kong get to direct representation - but turnout is usually unremarkable.
Nearly 400,000 new voters have registered, however, which is widely interpreted as a positive sign for the pro-democracy camp.
Police will be deployed at polling stations and on the city streets on Sunday to prevent any disruption.
"If you create massive chaos or carry out unlawful deeds it will be difficult to hold a fair election," government Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung said Saturday.
"It's a real democratic exercise. I really want people to treasure it."
Hong Kong's political unrest started in June in opposition to an extradition bill to China.
Although the bill was eventually withdrawn, the movement snowballed into wider calls for democracy and investigations into alleged police brutality.
The district polls remain the city's freest. In contrast, members of the city's legislature are elected by a mix of the popular vote and industry groups stacked with Beijing loyalists.
The city's chief executive is chosen by a similarly pro-establishment committee.
Analysts expect pro-democracy candidates to make gains in the district councils, but to still fall well short of a majority of the 452 slots.
In a bid to get out their vote, pro-democracy groups have made "HOW TO CAST A VOTE" airdrops.
The messages urge young voters to turn up early, bring their ID and "avoid wearing black shirts and masks" -- the unofficial uniform of the protesters - or accidentally spoiling ballots.

Florida man arrested, charged after woman's body found in trunk of his car, police say
by WFTS Digital StaffST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — St. Pete police arrested a man after they say a woman's body was found in the trunk of his car.
Police said detectives arrested Warren Brown, 57, for the murder of Sophie Solis at 7380 Organdy Dr. North on Saturday.
Friends concerned for her Solis' welfare found her body in the trunk of Brown's car in the driveway last week. She was found stabbed.
Detectives also found photos of the couple and bloody clothing in the trunk, as well. When they went inside the home, they found blood spatter on the ceiling of two rooms.
Warren later admitted to police that he stabbed Solis and placed her in the trunk of his car.
Police said the couple had a history of domestic violence issues.

pepsico
Businessmodel of PepsiCo
Customer Segments
PepsiCo produces, markets and sells a broad portfolio of consumer-focused food and drink products. The Company, however, is not directly consumer-facing, instead serving a range of commercial customers. PepsiCo’s customers include:
- Food and Beverage Distributors, including independent distributors and wholesalers
- Foodservice Businesses, including restaurant chains, cafes and coffee houses, and eateries;

PepsiCo operates a website at www.pepsico.com - as well as a number of regional and branded websites – through which it provides information on its various brands, services, and operating locations. The Company does not operate an online sales channel for its core business. It does, however, operate an online store at www.shop.pepsi.com, through which it sells Pepsi-branded merchandise.
PepsiCo serves its customers directly through its in-house sales and marketing teams, which are organised by operating segment and geographic regions. The Company’s products are brought to market through direct-store-delivery, customer warehouse, and distributor networks. Some of PepsiCo’s products are delivered directly from its our manufacturing plants and warehouses to customer warehouses, with some beverages being distributed by the Company’s independent bottlers customers through their own direct distribution channels to retail stores.
In some jurisdictions PepsiCo collaborates with third-party vending and foodservice distributors and sales agents. The Company also markets products through joint ventures, including Lipton tea products in partnership with Unilever, and co-branded juice products in partnership with China’s Tingyi.
Customer Relationships
PepsiCo makes some sales of merchandise on a self-service basis, with customers able to purchase and organise delivery of certain Pepsi-branded products without interacting with members of PepsiCo’s sales personnel.
PepsiCo sales are principally made through its direct sales teams, which work closely with customers to establish the details of sales agreements. The Company seeks to establish longstanding relationships with its customers, providing financial incentives to assist in the distribution and promotion of its products, including incentives include volume-based rebates, product placement fees, promotions, and displays. PepsiCo typically grants independent bottlers exclusive contracts to sell and manufacture certain beverage products within a specific geographic area.
Customers can contact PepsiCo – as well as specific PepsiCo brands – with support queries, over the phone or via online contact forms. The Company also operates social media accounts with Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, and LinkedIn, through which it can interact directly with customers.

Issues:
Not friendly to massive partitioning!
Ran out of resources; set open_files_limit to 30,000 and table_open_cache to 16000 for it to work!
And still ran out of resources...
crashed a few times. No stack trace
But recovery went well! Even if crash is in middle of ALTER TABLE (compare that to InnoDB...)
key_block_size issue. what a pain...
How TokuDB can improve:
key_block_size issue. common_schema to the rescue!
multiple files in datadir
naming - bah! the mapping not better either. common_schema to the rescue!
TMP files? You REALLY want to use tokudb_load_save_space
The one thing that interests a DBA: how large is a given table on disk?
The second thing: what are my largest tables on disk? Monitor them.
common_schema to the rescue...
common_schema.tokudb_file_map
Finally went with YEARly partitioning -- not ready yet to give up on partitioning. So 7 partitions per table (2010 -- 2015, MAXVALUE)
- and finally crashes stop; all those mysterious incidents gone away...
The good:
SHOW PROCESSLIST

Cool!
compresion: AMAZING!
Got 10% size from InnoDB KEY_BLOCK_SIZE=8, which means about 5% size of non-compressed InnoDB data == 20 times compression! Wow!
From 2TB down to => 200GB
Convert time: 300GB key_block_size=8 ==> tokudb_small in 9 hours. I dare you to create a 300GB InnoDB compressed table within 09 hours.
ALTER TABLE from InnoDB to TokuDB is quick!
KILL QUERY (ALTER query) works well: a few minutes to get rid of files, and during this time server is responsive
LOAD DATA INFILE is slower on TokuDB. I'm using replica; slave catch time is larger than with InnoDB slave.
a query was way slower on TokuDB -- well duh! because no index on date, and InnoDB has MONTHly partitioning; tokudb has YEARly -- so many more rows to scan.
HAHA: adding index in TokuDB is painless! Non blocking, quick to complete, resulting obviously in elimination of query slowness. Cool!!!
variables (courtesy Gerry)
Well you thought it would make sense to use o_direct?? Not necessarily. If your (real) dataset is larger than memory (ahem, 4TB > 128GB) then you should know OS caching is for compressed data; tokudb caching is for uncompressed data!
Cool, back to 50% memory to tokudb, the rest for compressed OS cache.
other variables...

Update January 2016: Due to the current situation with regard to the number of migrants and refugees attempting to enter Europe, a number of Schengen Area countries have re-introduced border controls. Therefore, it is advisable that cruisers now check with the official authorities when entering or leaving a country.
While at sea it is also advisable that any sightings of refugee/migrant boats be immediately reported to the appropriate Coast Guard via VHF. This is especially important if it is necessary to rescue any whose life is in danger.
Italy is a member of the European Union and therefore vessels arriving from another EU country, with only EU nationals on board, are not required to complete any formalities. Occasionally boats may be subjected to spot checks by customs (Guardia di Finanza), especially in areas known for smuggling. The formalities described below apply primarily to non-EU boats, although EU boats will have to conform to some of them, such as the requirement to have a valid third party insurance certificate on board. It is therefore recommended that any yacht arriving in Italy from abroad should attempt to do so at a port which has Customs and Immigration offices to which the captain should report on arrival.
Both EU and non-EU boats arriving from a country outside the EU (Tunisia, Albania, Turkey etc) must contact Customs at the first Italian port. On arrival in a port of entry, boats from non-EU countries must clear with the Port Captain as well as with Customs and Immigration.
Officials are very unlikely to come to a yacht, so the captain must report to their offices. Yachts have got into trouble for failing to report to the authorities.
The captain may be asked to show a certificate of competence; other documents needed are the registration certificate and third-party liability insurance.
It is advisable to monitor VHF channel 16 when in Italian waters, as failure to respond to a call from a Customs patrol can result in a stop and search operation.
New Sept 2015: The insurance document must be in Italian and also must show the serial number of the outboard motor as well as the details of the tender.

Italy is a member of the Schengen Agreement Area. See Noonsite' Schengen page for more details on the immigration rules.
It has been reported that Italian Immigration Authorities can be difficult if Italy is your first point of entry into the Schengen area but is not shown as such on your visa.

EU regulations apply concerning temporary importation. See EU VAT page for more information.
Firearms must be declared on arrival. The penalty for non-declaration is imprisonment.
Stop and search operations by Italian Police/Customs are not uncommon, and are more likely if a boat does not respond to an initial call on VHF channel 16.
A crackdown on the sellers and buyers of counterfeit items, i.e. purses, sunglasses, watches and belts, bearing luxury labels such as Prada, Gucci, Fendi and many others now means that criminal charges may be brought against people caught purchasing counterfeit products with fines up to 10,000 Euros.

Seafood should not be consumed in areas of heavy pollution.
Yachts must carry their original registration document and ship's radio licence. One member of the crew must have a radio operator’s certificate of competence. For EU boats, proof of VAT status is also required.
A crew list showing surname, forename, date and place of berth, function on board, passport number and nationality.
The proof of insurance requirements are exacting; proof of five million euros third party insurance issued by an insurance company having reciprocal arrangements with a recognised Italian insurance company with an Italian translation, or insurance bought in Italy through an Italian broker. The document must also record details of any tender and the serial number of any outboard motors.
It is illegal for yachts to sail in Italian waters without valid third-party insurance. Yachts which do not have insurance may not be allowed to leave the harbour until they obtain it. Insurance can be obtained locally from an Italian insurance company.
By law you must be able to show some form of identification at all times. In most cases a photocopy of the data page of your passport should suffice. The police will normally ask for your full passport if you are stopped while driving.
Underwater fishing with scuba gear is prohibited. Anche spearfishing is prohibited for anyone under 16 years old, Within 1,640 ft (500 m) of a beach or of a fishing boat at anchor. When underwater, the presence of the diver must be shown by a float with a red flag and yellow diagonal stripe.
It is illegal for foreign yachts to charter in Italy. However, if one arrives with a charter party from abroad one can Obtain the base cost in the usual way. Neither the crew nor the charter party may be changed while in Italian waters.
If transiting the Strait of Messina , be sure to contact the Authorities prior to transit to advise them of your movements. Boats have reported being stopped by the coastguard, in Particular When trying to cross the VTS, and fined for not giving advance notification. See the report for more details.
Anchoring is not permitted in the Strait of Messina. If anchoring in case of emergency, be sure to report where you drop the hook to avoid large fines. Read the Messina Strait VTS User Manual for more information.
There are Anchoring Restrictions all round the Italian coast. There is no anchoring within 200m of a beach or within 100m of the coast elsewhere. See the report for more details.

In some towns or cities it is an offense to sit on monument steps or to eat and drink in the immediate vicinity of main churches and public buildings.
Don’t buy from illegal street traders. You could be stopped by the local police and fined.
The Pets Travel Scheme (PETS) operates in Italy whereby dogs and cats need to have been microchipped and possess a Health Certificate (which must be in Italian as well as the language of the country of origin). This can be obtained from the local veterinary inspector of the Ministry of Agriculture and should state that the animal is free from disease and has been vaccinated against rabies not less than 20 days and not more than 11 months prior to the date of issue of the health certificate. Animals under 12 weeks old must be declared and examined on arrival.

Minify HTML and any CSS or JS included in your markup
A lot of people ask about how this Minifier was built.
It's essentially a series of regular expressions and replace functions written in PHP, running through Apache on Linux.
If you'd like to get in touch with me - a good way is through Twitter, @willpeavy
Note: to ensure your scripts work after minification - terminate JS statements with a semicolon, and use /* */ syntax for comments.

Calculates the Hilbert envelopes in different frequency bands of each of the input voice frames. Frequency bands are determined by input parameters iFs, iBW, iFShift and vBanda. To calculate the envelope, the spectrum of the window is obtained, the spectrum divided into different frequency bands, the DFT is calculated as the inverse of each band and its module is taken. Input parameters: mTramas: An array that contains in its rows the temporary frames on which Hilbert envelopes will be calculated. iFs: Sample rate (Hz) of the frames of mTramas iBW: Hilbert envelope bandwidth (Hz) iFShift: Shift or jump between frequency bands (Hz) vBand: Two-position vector with frequency range (lower and upper, in Hz) for the calculation of the GNE Output parameters: hmEnvolventes: Hyper-matrix of size (iNumBands x 2 * iWidthBand x iNumVentanas) with the calculated Hilbert envelopes. The 1st index indicates the frequency band and the 3rd the time window to which it belongs.

The position
property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element (static, relative, fixed or absolute).
The position
property specifies the type of positioning method used for an element.
There are four different position values:
static
relative
fixed
absolute
Elements are then positioned using the top, bottom, left, and right properties. However, these properties will not work unless the position
property is set first. They also work differently depending on the position value.
HTML elements are positioned static by default.
Static positioned elements are not affected by the top, bottom, left, and right properties.
An element with position: static;
is not positioned in any special way; it is always positioned according to the normal flow of the page:
Here is the CSS that is used:
div.static {
position: static;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
An element with position: relative;
is positioned relative to its normal position.
Setting the top, right, bottom, and left properties of a relatively-positioned element will cause it to be adjusted away from its normal position. Other content will not be adjusted to fit into any gap left by the element.
Here is the CSS that is used:
div.relative {
position: relative;
left: 30px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
An element with position: fixed;
is positioned relative to the viewport, which means it always stays in the same place even if the page is scrolled. The top, right, bottom, and left properties are used to position the element.
A fixed element does not leave a gap in the page where it would normally have been located.
Notice the fixed element in the lower-right corner of the page. Here is the CSS that is used:
div.fixed {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
width: 300px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
An element with position: absolute;
is positioned relative to the nearest positioned ancestor (instead of positioned relative to the viewport, like fixed).
However; if an absolute positioned element has no positioned ancestors, it uses the document body, and moves along with page scrolling.
Note: A "positioned" element is one whose position is anything except static
.
Here is a simple example:
Here is the CSS that is used:
div.relative {
position: relative;
width: 400px;
height: 200px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
div.absolute {
position: absolute;
top: 80px;
right: 0;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
border: 3px solid #73AD21;
}
When elements are positioned, they can overlap other elements.
The z-index
property specifies the stack order of an element (which element should be placed in front of, or behind, the others).
An element can have a positive or negative stack order:
Because the image has a z-index of -1, it will be placed behind the text.
img {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: -1;
}
An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.
Note: If two positioned elements overlap without a z-index specified, the element positioned last in the HTML code will be shown on top. |

2020 Audi S8 reveals itself discreetly with 571-horsepower V8, low-key design
Discreet design hides big chassis upgrades like predictive active suspension
by Ronan GlonAudi expanded the fourth-generation A8 range with a performance-oriented model that wears the S8 nameplate. The sedan offers motorists a generous serving of power in a discreet-looking package.
The S8 needs to fly under the radar, so stylists refrained from making the A8's elegant design louder with vents, scoops, and wings. Viewed from the front, it stands out with vertical air intakes chiseled into the bumper, and an S8 emblem on the left side of the grille. Out back, it signals its intentions with quad exhaust outlets. Specific mirrors and rocker panel extensions add a finishing touch to the look.
The long hood hides a twin-turbocharged, 4.0-liter V8 engine that generates 571 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 590 pound-feet of torque from 2,000 to 4,500 rpm. Bolted to an eight-speed automatic transmission, the eight-cylinder sends the big, 4,900-pound sedan from 0 to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds, and on to a top speed that's electronically limited to 155 mph. Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system promises to provide the S8 with a tremendous amount of grip.
The specifications sheet doesn't end there. Cylinder-on-demand technology and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system made up of a belt-driven starter/alternator and a lithium-ion battery pack keep the V8's fuel consumption in check. Official figures will be released closer to its on-sale date.
Power alone can't grant the A8 access to the S-badged club. To get in, it received a long list of chassis modifications including a predictive active suspension which scopes out the road ahead to reduce body roll and pitch. All-wheel steering helps it handle itself like a much smaller car on a twisty road, while a standard sport differential juggles power between the rear wheels as needed.
The 2020 Audi S8 will go on sale in the coming months, and a company spokesperson told Autoblog the model will arrive in the United States in early 2020. Look for a pricing announcement before then.


USERNETCTL
Section: Maintenance Commands (8)Updated: Red Hat, Inc.
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
usernetctl - allow a user to manipulate a network interface if permittedSYNOPSIS
usernetctl interface-name up|down|reportDESCRIPTION
usernetctl checks to see if users are allowed to manipulate the network interface specified by interface-name, and then tries to bring the network interface up or down, if up or down was specified on the command line, or returns true or false status (respectively) if the report option was specified.usernetctl is not really meant to be called directly by users, though it currently works fine that way. It is used as a wrapper by the ifup and ifdown scripts, so that users can do exactly the same thing as root:
ifup interface-name ifdown interface-nameand ifup and ifdown will call usernetctl automatically to allow the interface status change.
OPTIONS
- interface-name
- The name of the network interface to check; for example, "ppp0". For backwards compatibility, "ifcfg-ppp0" and "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0" are also supported.
- up|down
- Attempt to bring the interface up or down.
- report
- Report on whether users can bring the interface up or down.
NOTES
Alternate device configurations may inherit the default configuration's permissions.

It looks as though the Cubs will face three lefties this weekend, so Reed Johnson will get the starts in Center Field. We'll see how he does after sitting on the bench four days in a row. I somewhat understand this platooning in CF, but it's not ideal for one of the guys to sit on the bench for a whole series.
Edmonds got this last series in Houston as the Cubs faced three right-handed pitchers. Edmonds responded by batting .090 with 1 base hit and 1 walk. Not exactly the offensive production you want from an outfielder. And now he'll sit on the bench until at least Monday, maybe longer depending on who the Dodgers have on the mound. The only positive thing I can mention about Edmonds in this last series is that he only struck out once. Given his massive upper-cut swing, that's pretty good. From what I've seen, I don't expect Edmonds to be around long. You could give me that $250,000 and I would only have one less hit than him.
Reed Johnson might be a little rusty for this series, but I think we might see a little more production.

Manual
part one: How to extend your scrabble:
part two: First screen
You can :
- add your own desks
- add your own dictionary
- add your own letters
- add your own lettersets
- add your own servers to control the letters
- play with yourself "with predicted letters"
- add yor own cursors
1:Add new desk:
just create new text file in Data\desks directory with this rules:
- line one is MxN where M is the size in x directionn and N is size
in Y direction for 2D desk. rectangle is alowed but there is an minor
bug.(but it can be palyable)
- for 3D desk is the synatx: MxNxZ where M is the size in x
directionn and N is size in Y direction and Z is number of floors. This
also signalized that the file will be 3D desktop.
- now each line needs to be exactly as long as M(in num. of characters)
- t=triple word
- d=double word
- x=double letter
- y=triple letter
- s=starting point (there can be more then one, but is not properly tested)
- space=just empty square(doubled word in fiirtst turn)
- 3D desks needs an empty (or however filled) line between individual levels.
- 3D desks needs as many floors as was specified in Z
- the "empty line" is nessesary at the end of 3D desk but not in 2D
- if game crasheses loading new desk, in 99% it is invoked by wrong length of any line or but num. of lines.
2. Add new Dictionary
just copy or create new text file to Data\dictionaries
The syntax is [WORD][SPACE-if you want an description][DESCRIPTION OF A NEW WORD - optional]
for example
- tree living thing, plant mostly with leaves and mostly with bark
- tree=word
- living thing, plant mostly with leaves and mostly with bark=descriotion
dictionary user is loaded always. The words added during gamepaly is included here.
3. Add letters
Create image file (png(recomanded),jpg,bmp,non animated gif) with size
2^m x 2^n (ex: 16*32, but the square is recomanded) The game can accept
even image of diferent sizes then 2^x but your computer needn't
Save it enywhere, in Data\textures\letters\......\.... \..\.. = whenewer you wish with name as you want.
If you create your absolutly saprarate letterset, you need to create
also BACKGROUND of letters (or play with CUBE (F8 key) letters:-)
Background have the same resrictions as letter. Default background is Data\textures\w1.png
hint: try to creat png letter (bckgrounds etc,..) with ALPHA blenig included in image. You will be very surprised
Now it is nessesaru to tell the crable where to load letters:
4.Add lettersets
again: just create, copy text file into Data\alfabets\...
- fitrs line is the way to background of letters, with prefered search in Data\textures\letters
otherlines are the letters of this alphabet:
- [Letter][space][value][space][quantity][space][path to texture, with prefered search in Data\textures\letters]
- the '*' character is
insted of lineseparator character (because of paltform independeci).
think about it as '/' on linux or '\' on windows.
- you can also use your native lineseparator but what if you wnt to sent this file to somebody else?
- % instead of letter is WILDCARD (JOKER in czech language;)
5.Add yor own servers to control the word
- You need to creat xml descriptor in Data\Servers
- example:
<server>
<address>
http://www.mellony.cz/hledani/search.php
</address>
<methods>
<post>
<item>
<key>
S
</key>
<value>
[!word!]
</value>
</item>
</post>
<get>
</get>
</methods>
<max_word_length>
5
</max_word_length>
<encoding>
NONE

BIOT (Chagos) - Profile
Facts
- The Chagos Archipelago is constituted as the British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), which is one of fourteen UK Overseas Territories.
- BIOT is not a tourist destination. Access is restricted and a permit is required in advance of travel. There are no commercial flights and mooring permits are only issued to yachts in exceptional circumstances.
- BIOT is extremely remote. There are no banks, electricity, Wi-Fi, stores, diesel mechanics, sail lofts, cafes, stores, or health clinics. When you visit Chagos you should plan on being 100% self-sufficient.
- Access to Diego Garcia is only permitted to those on pre-authorised official duty.
- The islands are uninhabited except for Diego Garcia which has about 3,000 military and civilian personnel stationed there. A brief history of the Territory can be found at http://biot.gov.io/about/history/
- Vessels who wish to enter BIOT waters and moor, whether for one night or one month, must apply in advance to the BIOT Administration (BIOTA) for Immigration clearance and a permit. If granted, the mooring fee must also be paid in advance (see Clearance). BIOTA states that any person who enters BIOT without permission may be liable to imprisonment for 3 years and/or a fine of £10,000 and the vessel used to enter BIOT waters may be seized and forfeited.
- BIOT Customs and Immigration officials visit the approved mooring sites on their patrols to check permits and passports (and spotter planes are also used). The passports of all passengers/crew will be checked against the permit issued. You will be asked to explain any discrepancies. People on visiting yachts are not allowed to spend the night ashore.
- BIOT hosts the world’s largest contiguous Marine Protected Area and the largest expanse of undisturbed coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, as well as globally significant populations of endangered species of birds and other wildlife. There are strict conservation rules, which must be observed in order to preserve this unique sanctuary in its present state (see Restrictions).
- It is not recommended to enter BIOT at night, there are simply too many interior reefs and coral heads to avoid (charted and uncharted). Good light and eyeball navigation is required within the lagoon.
