Watching the Udacity video learning resource was great. It enabled us to access many different learning methods and the step by step nature of the delivery made the content easy to understand and review.
What is grid based design?
Grid based design is a concept where a page is split into a number of sections on which the content is then laid out. The result of this is a number of separate design elements positioned in a logical sequence.
From an aesthetic perspective, there should be a consistency in the content in terms of how it is aligned and the amount of space each design element occupies.
A typical webpage is split into 12 columns of which we can further separate them by creating rows. By using row and column classes, we can apply our CSS rules to similar elements rather than having to style each one separately.
Whats all the hype about responsive webpages?
No longer is our on-line browsing confined to a desktop or laptop. We now have other devices such as mobile phones and tablets to consider when designing our webpage.
A responsive webpage automatically changes its layout depending on the size of the window or device it is being viewed from. This makes the whole user experience more pleasant and enjoyable.
What is semantic structure?
Semantic structure is about using our html code to reinforce the meaning of the content within our tags.
It is important because, although we can use CSS to give our page meaning based on how it is styled, search engines and screen readers will not be able to pick up on these visual cues.
Fortunately we have a number of different tags at our disposal. We can identify headings (h1 through to h6) with h1 being the most important. A reminder however that you should choose the heading tag on the basis of importance, not on how it may look on the page.
Other examples of tags are sections, articles, block-quotes, lists. The are some in-line styling tags too which convey meaning such as using <em > to emphasise something, not for italicizing.
Any other points you found interesting and want to reflect on?
CSS has proved to be very challenging for me as I get frustrated not being able to position and style the elements on my page as easily as I thought I could.
I find the whole responsive side of the site daunting albeit fascinating.

I am currently a penultimate student studying towards a Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (Honours)
at the University of Auckland with an interest in the advancement of artificial intelligence and electronics.
Fuelled by my curiosity to tinker with new technology to understand its capabilities, I am very eager to apply the knowledge learnt to stay in touch with the latest development in the technology sector.
Currently, I am working on my personal projects and am always up for a challenge.
I pre-ordered Nybble from Indiegogo, I cannot wait to discover and be able to program this cute kitten!
Needing a weather module to quickly view the weather for today, I decided to make a weather module with an ESP8266 serving as the microcontroller, a NeoPixel ring for a visual indicator and an OLED display to show the specific weather information.
Inspired by Allen Pan’s Punch Activated Arm Flamethrowers,
my cousin and I are building a punch activated water gun. Currently, we are assembling the product.
Once the project is nearing completion, I will post the schematics and code on GitHub.
For my ELECTENG 209 class, I had the pleasure of building a Wireless Energy Monitor with my group. The tasks I was assigned was the VHDL section where I had to upload what was being transmitted using UART from the ATMega328PB microcontroller to the CPLD and I had to operate the oscilloscope and multimeter to debug circuit issues.
For my ENGGEN 299 workshop, I got taught how to operate a lathe machine to make a plumb bob and make the initial shape for the pens and phone/business card holder. To create the final design, I had to use the mill machine to punch holes for the pen and make a slot to hold business cards and phones.

Share memories with all of your group mates by easily creating and sharing group photo albums.
There is always that one wonderful person at each event who not only brings their camera but actually remembers to get those snapshots off their data card. Thankfully for the rest of us, those photojournalists can upload their photos and share them with the rest of us so we can go back and relive the moments together.

It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is our plan.
No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an idel and if they can't stop you then you become something else entirely. Legend, Mr Wayne.
Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.
I had a vision of a world without Batman. The Mob ground out a little profit and the police tried to shut them down one block at a time. And it was so boring. I've had a change of heart. I don't want Mr Reese spoiling everything but why should I have all the fun? Let's give someone else a chance. If Coleman Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes then I blow up a hospital.
But we've met before. That was a long time ago, I was a kid at St. Swithin's, It used to be funded by the Wayne Foundation. It's an orphanage. My mum died when I was small, it was a car accident. I don't remember it. My dad got shot a couple of years later for a gambling debt. Oh I remember that one just fine. Not a lot of people know what it feels like to be angry in your bones. I mean they understand. The fosters parents. Everybody understands, for a while.  After a while they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boy's home, I figured it out too late. Yeah I learned to hide the anger, and practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask. So you showed up this one day, in a cool car, pretty girl on your arm. We were so excited! Bruce Wayne, a billionaire orphan? We used to make up stories about you man, legends and you know with the other kids, that's all it was, just stories, but right when I saw you, I knew who you really were. I'd seen that look on your face before. It's the same one I taught myself. I don't why you took the fault for Dent's murder but I'm still a believer in the Batman. Even if you're not...

Bob Marley and the Wailers were a Jamaican reggae band led by Bob Marley. It developed from the earlier ska vocal group, the Wailers, created by Marley with Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer in 1963. By late 1963 singers Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined on. By the early 1970s, Marley and Bunny Wailer had learned to play some instruments and brothers Aston "Family Man" Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums), had joined the band. After Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh left the band in 1974, Marley began touring with new band members. His new backing band included the Barrett brothers, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on lead guitar, Tyrone Downie and Earl "Wya" Lindo on keyboards, and Alvin "Seeco" Patterson on percussion. The "I Threes", consisting of Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, and Marley's wife, Rita, provided backing vocals.The Wailers were formed when self-taught musician Hubert Winston McIntosh (Peter Tosh) met the singers Neville Livingston (Bunny Wailer), and Robert Nesta Marley (Bob Marley) in 1963.
The lineup was known variously as the Teenagers, the Wailing Rudeboys, the Wailing Wailers and finally just the Wailers. The original lineup featured Junior Braithwaite on vocals, Bob Marley on guitar, Peter Tosh on keyboard, Neville Livingston (a.k.a. Bunny Wailer) on percussion, and Cherry Smith and Beverley Kelso on backing vocals. By 1966 Braithwaite, Kelso and Smith had left the band, which then consisted of the trio Livingston, Marley and Tosh. In 1964, the Wailers topped the Jamaican charts with "Simmer Down", which was recorded 1963 at Studio One with the rhythm section from studio house band The Skatalites. Some of the Wailers' most notable songs were recorded with Lee "Scratch" Perry and his studio band the Upsetters. The Wailers also worked with renowned reggae producer Leslie Kong, who used his studio musicians called Beverley's All-Stars (Jackie Jackson, Paul Douglas, Gladstone Anderson, Winston Wright, Rad Bryan, Hux Brown) to record the songs that would be released as an album titled The Best of The Wailers. In 1966, they created a rocksteady record label, the Wail N Soul M. During the early 1970s the Upsetters members Aston "Family Man" Barrett and his brother Carlton (Carly) Barrett, formed the Wailers Band, providing instrumental backing for The Wailers. The Wailers recorded groundbreaking ska and reggae songs such as "Simmer Down", "Trenchtown Rock", "Nice Time", "War", "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up". An attempt at creating a full overview of all the music made by The Wailers prior to their signing to Island Records was made by the Roots Reggae Library.


An object-oriented computer programming language used to create interactive effects within web browsers.
A symbol that's used to perform an operation, most often (but not always) arithmetic.
Anything that can vary. Variables hold data values that can be changed anytime.
camelCase for identifier names (variables and functions). All names start with a letter. Sometimes global variables are written in UPPERCASE.
A function is a JavaScript procedure—a set of statements that performs a task or calculates a value. To use a function, you must define it somewhere in the scope from which you wish to call it.
JavaScript methods are actions that can be performed on objects. A JavaScript method is a property containing a function definition. For example, a Window object would have methods such as open and close, while its state (whether it is opened or closed) would be a property.
Values passed to a function when it is invoked e.g. subtractFunction(3,2)
Variables listed as part of the function defintion e.g., going on the example above, subtractFunction(number1, number2)
A statement that stops the execution of a funtion and returns a value from that function to the caller.
A technique that can be used to simplify code in scenarios that involved calling multiple functions on the same object consecutively. Cleans up your code!
This means words not numbers. A global object & constructor for strings of a sequence of characters.
A binary variable, having two possible values called "true" or "false". Even though these are text, they're not considered strings.
A global property that represents the primitive value undefined. One of Javascript's primitive types. This is what gets returned when a variable is declared but undefined.
Represents the Not-a-Number value. This property indicates that a value is not a legal number.
A backslash used in a string that allows you to use special characters without ending the string--e.g., if you use "We're called "Vampires"", then the second instance of the double quotes would end the string. Instead use "We're called \"Vampires\"", to use another set of doubel quotes in the string.
A method in Javascript that you can use to display a text-box popup to the user: alert("Beware those with big butts!").
Parts of the code that are ignored by the interpreter. To start a comment type two forward-slashes // and everything to the right of them will be ignored until a new line.
A concise and fast Javascript library that can be used to simplify event handling, HTML document traversing, Ajax interactions and animations for speedy website development. Invoke it with a $() once you've linked your document to the jQuery library.
Modifiers applied to an element. e.g., the class, id, title, etc, applied to a certain div or p element.
A javascript method that creates a pop-up box and prompts the user for input. prompt("Username:", "username goes here"). the second argument is what appears in the box where the user will type.

…or how to use a React frontend for your Flask app
Adrian Mönnich @ThiefMaster
👨💻 Lead Developer of the Indico project at CERN
🛠 One of the Pallets maintainers
🐍 Python enthusiast since almost 10 years
✨ Moved on from jQuery to React
Based on what people ask questions about on IRC
Easy for simple cases 🎉
Complex custom widgets?
Duplicating code for your API?
Rarely transpiled (sometimes minified)
Code written for old browsers 🧟♂
Why are you still writing the same kind of JS you wrote 10 years ago?
"Configuring webpack is too hard"
No, it's not. Unless you do weird things.
Been there, done that.
But it is boilerplate code.
Can't we do something like…
from webpack import config
Almost!
It's called create-react-app
Create React App is an officially supported way to create single-page React applications. It offers a modern build setup with no configuration.
Contains the whole build config
Auto-rebuild 🏗 & hot reload 🔥
Includes its own dev server
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/api/time')
def time():
return jsonify(now=datetime.now().isoformat())
@app.route('/api/greet/<name>')
@app.route('/api/greet-stranger/', defaults={'name': 'mysterious person'})
def greeting(name):
msg = 'Welcome, ' + name
return jsonify(greeting=msg)
$ npx create-react-app client
Creating a new React app in …/ep2019-flask-react/testapp/client.
Installing packages. This might take a couple of minutes.
Installing react, react-dom, and react-scripts...
…
We suggest that you begin by typing:
cd client
npm start
Happy hacking!
Hardcoded URLs are ugly! 👎
Especially if they are dynamic 😠
📦 Install some more packages
$ pip install flask-url-map-serializer
$ npm install --save-dev flask-urls.macro
$ npm install --save flask-urls
🎣 Hook up the build scripts with Flask
// client/.babel-plugin-macrosrc.js
const {execSync} = require('child_process');
const urlMap = JSON.parse(execSync('flask url_map_to_json'));
module.exports = {
flaskURLs: {
urlMap
}
};
🔗 Link the dev servers
// client/src/setupProxy.js
const proxy = require('http-proxy-middleware');
module.exports = app => {
app.use(proxy('/api', {
target: process.env.FLASK_URL || 'http://<IP_ADDRESS>:5000'
}));
};
We now have:
/api/*
to Flask
// client/src/App.js
// …
import Demo from './Demo';
function App() {
return (
{/* … */}
<img src={logo} className="App-logo" alt="logo" />
<Demo />
{/* … */}
);
}
// client/src/Demo.js
import React, {useState, useEffect} from 'react';
import flask from 'flask-urls.macro';
const timeURL = flask`time`;
const greetingURL = flask`greeting`;
export default function Demo() {
// continued on next slide…
}
const [time, setTime] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
(async () => {
const resp = await fetch(timeURL());
const data = await resp.json();
setTime(data.now);
})();
}, []);
const url = greetingURL({name: 'snake'});
return time && (
It's {time} and your greeting URL is {url}
);
How the hell does this all work?! 🤷♂
// Babel macro - runs at build time!
import flask from 'flask-urls.macro';
// Tagged template compiles to function
const greetingURL = flask`greeting`;
// equivalent of url_for('greeting', name='snake')
const url = greetingURL({name: 'snake'});
// Babel macro - runs at build time!
import flask from 'flask-urls.macro';
// Tagged template compiles to function
const greetingURL = flask`greeting`;
// equivalent of url_for('greeting', name='snake')
const url = greetingURL({name: 'snake'});
// Babel macro - runs at build time!
import flask from 'flask-urls.macro';
// Tagged template compiles to function
const greetingURL = flask`greeting`;
// equivalent of url_for('greeting', name='snake')
const url = greetingURL({name: 'snake'});
That's the code generated by the macro
const greetingURL = flask_urls__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1___default.a.bind(
null,
{
endpoint: "greeting",
rules: [/* …building rules omitted here… */]
},

);
We could really use…
🧾 Docs (only examples right now 😞)
✨ TypeScript stubs
🖥 More projects using it (and finding bugs? 🐛)
➡ Brag about having contributed to a CERN project! 🎉
Non-macro Babel plugin for Flask URL building
import greetingURL from 'flask-url:greeting';
import otherURL from 'flask-url:blueprint.endpoint';

Our mission is to help the Cambodian villages in which we work become self-sustaining communities where people want to live, with healthy water and facilities, good food, health care and education for the residents, where there is environmental and social responsibility, and employment that allows them to sustain and continually improve their quality of life.
Vision StatementSustainable Cambodia's long-term vision is to create a model which is so successful in creating self-sufficiency and quality of life that the village residents in the program will assist Sustainable Cambodia in spreading the model to other communities throughout the country.
All Contributions Go To CambodiaOur policy prohibits our hiring ANY paid administrative or executive staff other than native Cambodians. All non-Cambodians, including Board members and officers, are 100% volunteer, and pay 100% of their own travel or related expenses. This forces us to train and empower Cambodians to help Cambodians. And because of the huge salary differential compared with western nations, we are able to obtain tremendous leveraging of our financial resources, resulting in dramatic results on-the-ground in the villages in which we work.

The Association of Computer Science Undergraduates (ACSU) promotes educational, professional, and social interaction among every undergraduate student interested in computer science. We facilitate student communication with faculty, alumni, and corporate representatives to enhance the undergraduate experience in computer science.
ACSU is Cornell's chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). We receive support from the Department of Computer Science and several corporate sponsors.
We host a variety of events for CS students to meet each other outside of class, including bowling nights, lunches, and formals, as well as a mentorship program every semester!
We hold several events each year to improve student-faculty relations, including student-faculty luncheons, presentations by faculty on their research, and information sessions on graduate programs.
We organize a few presentations and workshops each semester to help CS students learn something new and build their range of technical skills. Past events have included LaTeX tutorials and introductory web programming lessons.
We arrange many information sessions each semester for companies of all sizes from the tech industry and beyond, which provide a great opportunity for members to learn about employment options and meet recruiters. Companies we've hosted include Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Intel, BlackRock, Priceline, and many more.
Each year, we feature our members' resumes in two books (one for students seeking summer opportunities and one for students seeking full-time employment). We send these resumes to over 100 top corporations as well as Cornell alumni. Numerous students have benefited from great career opportunities as a result.
We offer a mentorship program that allows older ACSU students and alumni to be paired with younger students seeking advice regarding the CS major, undergraduate research, technical careers, and more. The program fosters friendships, promotes networking, and allows both mentors and mentees to be more involved with the local CS community.

I'm trying to see if emoncms is suitable for my purposes and to start off I created an account on emoncms.org before I jump through the hurdle of installing it locally.
I have created some inputs where I am regularly posting temperature data. The data is coming in fine as I can see the values and when they were last updated.
I have also created feeds, following the guides for inputs and feeds. But when I click on the eye to view raw-data for a feed nothing comes up. If I go to Visualisations, select realtime, my feed and click view the graph is empty.
The only visual thing i'm able to get to work is if I go to the Dashboard, add a widget, e.g. Dial and point it to my feed. Then I can see the current value.
Am I missing something or is the software currently running on emoncms.org not working to full extent?
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Have you zoomed in or out sufficiently to see the data? I've just created some test data that I think is similar to what you have and they seem to be working for me.
Have you checked that you are using a compatible browser?
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Yes, i'm using Chrome. Newer than what is listed.
How do I zoom? I only see buttons for changing between 1h, 30m, 15m and 1m. Clicking on them does nothing.
Another interesting thing is that on the Feeds page, there is a column for size. And all my feeds are listed as beeing 0.0kb. Yet data is constantly flowing in. Does that mean that noting is beeing stored?
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
1) Don't worry about the 'size' column, emoncms is undergoing an upgrade at the moment and it's one of the functions that members who had earlier version accounts, to manage the upgrade process. The feed data in emoncms.org is currently stored in Timestore and not MySQL, hence the 'size' column shows zero - because you have zero data in MySQL.
2) Different charts have different facilities, and you will have to find a chart that suits the data that you are displaying. Emoncms and it's charts were preliminary designed for displaying energy, but over time it has evolved to capture and display many types of data, not all of which display correctly on all of the charts. Try a different one.
Further information about emoncms visualisations can be found here.
Paul
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Ok, as far as #1.
But for #2, it doesn't matter what kind of chart I choose. No one shows anything.
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Something is not right with the feeds...
If I try the API calls listed on http://emoncms.org/feed/api and adjust the id to one of my feeds I don't get any valid data back. I either get null or false.
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
I tried to export a feed from emoncms.org in my effort of trying to understand what is broken.
emoncms.org: Warning: fopen(/var/lib/timestore/0000000000018737.tsdb): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
The export file contains PHP warnings instead of data. It looks like there is no datafile for my feed. This the whole content of my export file.
(Thread moved by moderator PR)
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Roger, I've PM'd you.
Paul
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Hi Roger, I've had a look at your emoncms.org account and I think somehow the feeds had become detached from the inputs, and were not being updated.
This can occur if changes are made out of sequence, for example if you delete and re-add an input, when you have a feed, visualization or other dashboard item assigned to the original input. From experience, if I want to make a change to my feeds or inputs, I work through the menu items Right to Left, and remove references to the item that I am changing, so I start with Dashboards, then Vis, and so on. Once the change has been made, I work Left to Right and integrate the input into the feed into the Visualization and so on.
I've virtually deleted your test data (you said it was OK!!), and re-added new feeds from your inputs - sorry if I haven't got their names correct, you can always amend them if they are wrong. And everything seems fine.
I don't think (although I may be corrected...) that you can add 'Daily' feeds (such as min & max) to a multigraph, I believe that multigraphs only currently support 'Realtime' data, so again I removed it.
Hope everything goes well - don't forget to change your password!
Paul
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Thanks for taking the time to look at my account.
I did everything in the logical order, as it appeared to me. But I did delete some feeds at one time and noticed that there were some glitches in the web UI. Sometimes clicking on a trashcan didn't delete the item. Maybe somewhere there the problem was triggered? If I see such behaviour again I will try to remember what I did and report it.
Anyway, it looks like most of it is working now. Except that the "min" feed doesn't look ok, it reports 0. But I will play around a bit with this next week when i'm back and see if I can get everything running as I want it to be. I don't need the min/max on a graph, just having them as text is enough.
And as for my test data, it was ok to delete it. That is what tests are for :)
Once again, many thanks for your time and effort.
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Yes, I noticed that with the 'min' feed too, and have flagged it up as a development issue. The min/max functions have only just been upgraded to work under Timestore and I suspect that there is still a bug there that needs sorting.
Paul
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
Looks like someone fixed something now.
I have checked the 'min' feed for two days and it is now reporting a temperature that is not a static 0 :)
Re: Visualization of feeds on emoncms.org not working?
You are right, mine is also working fine now.
Emoncms GitHub hasn't been updated though??
Paul

Neuroplasticity
Understanding neuroplasticity allows people to understand that their intelligence and abilities aren’t fixed in stone. In contrast to believing your capabilities are unable to be changed, neuroplasticity encourages the viewpoint that people can better themselves through practice and reflection. By working harder, we can improve.
In learning a subject like web development. Understanding neuroplasticity may be immensely helpful, especially seeing as I have little experience in this field. Exposure to complicated topics that require a lot of practice to understand may be off-putting in the beginning, but through taking Dev Academy’s advice and acknowledging that skills take time to build, I can use it to motivate myself in my study.
To increase neuroplasticity, I should practice everyday, imagine myself doing so in down-time, and place what I’ve learnt in context through reflections like this.
I found this video on Neuroplasticity to be engaging and convey they points succinctly
The Growth Mindset
Growth mindset is the antithesis of the fixed mindset. It’s the belief that intelligence can be grown through learning. It is kinda like the opposite of IQ testing of individuals and things like that.
It is not particularly surprising to me that it is beneficial for students – especially those that are marginalised – to perform better when encouraged and stimulated through positive thinking and alternative learning techniques that challenge the status quo. The TED talk was great, I hope to focus more on this type of thinking myself during foundations and steer away from negative approaches to learning that I have found myself falling into in the past.
Integrating the growth mindset will be at top of mind for me as I move through my reflections – which I aim to do each day. Hopefully this will keep me on my game when it comes to motivation.
I enjoyed Carol Dweck's video a lot.

Annotation Consensus¶
Note that the consensus function is imported into the pylidc namespace so that the utils module does not need to be imported for its use:
import pylidc as pl
# consensus function:
pl.consensus( ... )
A usage example can be found here.
-
utils.
consensus
(anns, clevel=0.5, pad=None, ret_masks=True, verbose=True)¶ Return the boolean-valued consensus volume amongst the provided annotations (anns) at a particular consensus level (clevel).
Parameters: - anns (list of pylidc.Annotation objects) – This list should be probably be one of the lists returned by the pylidc.Scan.cluster_annotations routine.
- clevel (float, default=0.5) – The consensus fraction. For example, if clevel=0.5, then a voxel will have value 1 in the returned boolean volume when >= 50% of the segmentations include that voxel, and 0 otherwise.
- pad (int, list, or float, default=None) – See Annotation.bbox for description for this argument.
- ret_masks (bool, default=True) – If True, a list of masks is also returned corresponding to all the annotations. Note that this slightly different than calling boolean_mask on each respective Annotation object because these volumes will be the same shape and in a common reference frame.
- verbose (bool, default=True) – Turns the DICOM image loading message on/off.
Returns: consensus_mask, consensus_bbox[, masks] – consensus_mask is the boolean-valued volume of the annotation masks at clevel consensus. consensus_bbox is a 3-tuple of slices that can be used to index into the image volume at the corresponding location of consensus_mask. masks is a list of boolean-valued mask volumes corresponding to each Annotation object. Each mask in the masks list has the same shape and is sampled in the common reference frame provided by consensus_bbox.
Return type: (ndarray, tuple[, list])

There are only a few tools we need to solve this problem. First of all, we can use basic techniques to find the Nth bit of a number M: counting the least significant bit as bit 0, the next bit as bit 1, etc., we can find the value of that bit through the expression
int Nth_bit = (1 << N) & M;In other words, we are shifting the number 1 left by N spaces, and then performing a binary AND on the resulting number with our original number, which will leave either a 1 in the Nth bit or a 0. So the first thing we have to do is find out the distance between each pair of numbers within the set of all numbers with B bits (0..2B-1).
We also know that 0 can be one of the numbers in the set, because if the minimum number in the set were N instead of 0, we could XOR N to each number in the set and they would still be the same distance apart. The limits on the problem are low enough that we can do a DFS, and as soon as we hit a solution we can output it and exit.
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <iostream.h> #define MAX (1 << 8 + 1) #define NMAX 65 #define BMAX 10 #define DMAX 10 int nums[NMAX], dist[MAX][MAX]; int N, B, D, maxval; FILE *in, *out; void findgroups(int cur, int start) { int a, b, canuse; char ch; if (cur == N) { for (a = 0; a < cur; a++) { if (a % 10) fprintf(out, " "); fprintf(out, "%d", nums[a]); if (a % 10 == 9 || a == cur-1) fprintf(out, "\n"); } exit(0); } for (a = start; a < maxval; a++) { canuse = 1; for (b = 0; b < cur; b++) if (dist[nums[b]][a] < D) { canuse = 0; break; } if (canuse) { nums[cur] = a; findgroups(cur+1, a+1); } } } int main() { in = fopen("hamming.in", "r"); out = fopen("hamming.out", "w"); int a, b, c; fscanf(in, "%d%d%d", &N, &B, &D); maxval = (1 << B); for (a = 0; a < maxval; a++) for (b = 0; b < maxval; b++) { dist[a][b] = 0; for (c = 0; c < B; c++) if (((1 << c) & a) != ((1 << c) & b)) dist[a][b]++; } nums[0] = 0; findgroups(1, 1); return 0; }


Tewodros Kassahun, better known as Teddy Afro, is an acclaimed Ethiopian pop star known for his uplifting and often politically motivated songs. Born in Addis Ababa in 1976, Afro made his debut in 2001 with the album Abugida, quickly establishing himself as a prominent voice in his native country. Mixing reggae, traditional Ethiopian styles, and pop music, his sophomore LP, 2005's Yastesereyal.
In 2007,riding high from his success, Afro was involved in an auto accident in which a young homeless man was killed. Charged with hit-and-run and vehicular manslaughter, Afro served two years in prison, though there was a good deal of controversy surrounding his sentencing by what many considered to be a vindictive government. Upon his 2009 release, he performed a comeback concert at Addis Ababa Stadium for a massive crowd of 60,000. 2012 saw the greatly anticipated release of Afro's fourth LP, Tikur Sew, a powerful, historically inspired album celebrating the battle of Adwa in which Ethiopia fought off Italy to remain uncolonized. The album was a major success at home and significantly raised his profile internationally. Bolstered by frequent touring and high-profile appearances around the world, Afro's next release, 2017's critically lauded Ethiopia, debuted at number one on Billboard's World Music chart.

NSW chef not guilty of ‘burglar murder’
by AAPAn apprentice chef has been found not guilty of murdering a burglar and convicted rapist he found inside his Newcastle home.
A Newcastle Supreme Court jury on Wednesday accepted Benjamin Batterham’s claim he was making a citizen’s arrest in March 2016 when he chased Ricky Slater, tackled him, put him in a chokehold and repeatedly punched him in the head until police arrived.
The jury found Mr Batterham, 35, who spent two months in prison after his arrest before being granted bail, not guilty of murder and the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Mr Slater – who had scarring to his heart because of regular drug use, suffered liver disease and was obese – suffered a cardiac arrest following the attack but was revived by paramedics.
Mr Slater had another two cardiac arrests in hospital and died the next day.
The defence insisted throughout the trial that Mr Batterham never intended to kill Mr Slater or cause him serious harm.

The BioBike Language (BBL) Description
Introduction
The Biobike Language (hereafter BBL) is a computer language written
for biologists. Its goals are 1) to provide readable computer code to
the perusing biologist who is not necessarily familiar with computer
languages or computer concepts, and 2) provide capability for a
biologist interested in investigating bioinformatics-type questions
about their data to do so via writing computer programs which are
straightforward and intuitive, using concepts from biology and the
smallest amount of computer-algorithm knowledge possible.
BBL is based on Common Lisp, while its syntax is a bit different, its
semantics more flexible, and its error messages more understandable.
New syntax
The new syntax that BBL introduces is:
- Bracket notation, [ ], used to access and set substructure.
- The symbol ->, used within brackets, to denote ranges of indices.
- Curly brace notation, { }, used as shorthand for (list ...)
- Periods within symbols causing symbols to be interpreted as frames,
e.g., FOO.BAR denoting the frame #$FOO.BAR
An example of this notation:
(setf foo.bar[.slot1] {1 2 3})
-- 'foo.bar' represents the frame #$foo.bar.
-- '.slot1' represents the frame #$slot1.
-- 'foo.bar[.slot1]' is equivalent semantically to
(slotv #$foo.bar #$slot1)
-- and {1 2 3} is equivalent to (list 1 2 3).
Therefore the above expression sets the #$slot1 slot of the frame #$foo.bar
to the list (1 2 3).
Another example using -> notation:
"abcdefghijklm"[-> 2 5 -> 7 9 ->]
-- '-> 2' represents the set of indices 1 2
-- '5 -> 7' represents the set of indices 5 6 7
-- '9 ->' represents the set of indices 9 10 11 12 13 in this case; in general
it represents the indices from 9 through the last legal index.
The result of the above operation is "abefgijklm"
In BBL, all symbols with '.' in them denote frames. It is impossible
to have a symbol with a '.' as one of its characters; the compiler
will simply translate the symbol into an appropriate frame. Symbols
whose first character is '.' are translated into a frame whose name
is the symbol's name without the initial '.' . A symbol with a '.'
somewhere in the middle is translated into a frame whose name
is the same as the symbol's name -- the '.' is NOT removed.
New semantics
BBL introduces the following new semantics:
- Symbols as frames
- 1-based indexing
- Range notation within [ ]s for sequences, with the range values
indicating inclusive ranges; also range notation denoting a range from
the beginning of a sequence to a particular index and from an index to
the end of the sequence; also multiple independent indices within [ ]s
for sequences.
- Strings of length 1 in place of characters
- Deprecation of characters in favor of one-length strings
- DEFINE-FUNCTION, an alternative to DEFUN
- DEFCONVERSION, sophisticated argument coercion within DEFINE-FUNCTION
- A revised LOOP facility
- Inability to use FUNCALL or APPLY on BBL functions
defined with DEFINE-FUNCTION.
Symbols as Frames
BBL introduces the concept of certain symbols (without '.' as a
character) as frames. In any given BBL instantiation there are a
set of non-dotted symbols that, unless lexically shadowed, refer to
frames. The determination of which symbols refer to frames and to
which frames is a complicated algorithm, defined by the function
BIOBIKE-INTERNALS::IN-BIOBIKE-FRAME-MAPPING?.
This function uses the BIOBIKE-INTERNALS::*BIOBIKE-FRAME-MAPPING*
hash table, the names and nicknames of existing organisms, and the
prefixes for the genes, proteins, and contiguous sequences of each
organism, to make a determination as to whether a symbol denotes a
frame.
An example: The symbol sef0012 denotes a frame in the Cyanobacterial
instances of BBL because there is a gene named #$s7942.sef0012 and
the string "S7942" is the prefix for the organism denoted by the
organism frame #$synechococcus_elongatus_pcc7942. Any use of the
sef0012 symbol (unless it is lexically bound) is as if the symbol
evaluated to the #$s7942.sef0012 frame.
Note: It is expected that different BBL installations will have
different requirements as to which symbols denote frames, and
therefore the above-mentioned function and hash table will need to be
redefined.
1-based indexing
BBL reintroduces (a la Fortran) the notion of 1-based indexing,
instead of 0-based as is done in Common Lisp. To index the first element
of an array A in Common Lisp, one would write:
(aref a 0)
while to index the first element of an array A in BBL, one writes:
a[1]
or
(ref a 1)
This notion of 1-based indexing extends to results returned by other
functions such as the BBL equivalents Common Lisp's sequence
functions.
Note: A BBL user using a Common Lisp function
that either uses indices (such as LISP:SUBSEQ) or returns a position
(such as LISP:SEARCH) will have to adjust the index or position by
subtracting or adding 1, respectively.
Range notation, etc.
ARROW NOTATION: Within [ ]s indexing sequences, BBL allows the use of
'->'. This notation may be used between two indices, in which case it
indicates a range of indices from the first index to the second index,
inclusive. The first index may be greater than the second index, in
which case the indices are enumerated backwards. The '->' may also be
used as the first index, if so, it indicates a range from index 1 to
the second index (it is simply a shorthand notation for '1 -> x' at
the start of the indices list). Finally, the '->' may be used as the
last index, if so, it indicates a range from the previous index to the
last, highest index, inclusive.
Examples of -> notation:
- "abcdefgh"[3 -> 6] --> "def" ; a standard range.
- "abcdefgh"[-> 4] --> "abcd" ; an initial range.
- "abcdefgh"[4 ->] --> "defgh" ; a final range.
- "abcdefgh"[7 -> 4] --> "gfed" ; a reverse range.
- "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"[-> 2 4 6 -> 8 10 11 14 ->] -->
"abdfghjknopqrstuvwxyz" ; a complicated set of indices and ranges
More examples of -> notation in assignment. Assume x is
the list (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) and gets reassigned to this value
for each example below:
- (setf x[3 -> 6] '(a b c d)) ; now x = (1 2 a b c d 7 8 9 10)
- (setf x[6 -> 4] '(a b c)) ; now x = (1 2 3 c b a 7 8 9 10)
Note: range notation will only work for sequences;
it will not work for hash tables, frames or multi-dimensional arrays.
MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT INDICES: Within [ ]s indexing sequences,
BBL allows the use of multiple indices, indicating that values
at each index position will be extracted and concatenated together.
Examples of using independent indices:
- "abcdefghijklmnop"[1 4 2 10] --> "adbj"
- '(a b c d e f g h i j k)[6 6 5 1 1] --> (f f e a a)
Note: multiple indices notation will work for everything
but multiply-dimensioned arrays, where the multiple indices are interpreted as
specifying a single element of the multiple-dimensioned array.
Characters replaced by strings of length one
BBL deprecates the use of characters; while in Common Lisp the
result of extracting the first element of the string "abc" is #\a, in
BBL the result is "a", a string of length 1. Similarly, one can
store a string of length 1 into a particular position of another
string. Common Lisp characters are not, however, verboten -- if one
attempts to store a Common Lisp character into a string in BBL
nothing inappropriate will happen:
(setq x "abc")
(setf x[2] #\z)
(setf x[3] "y")
x --> "azy"
Define-function
DEFINE-FUNCTION is a new utility for defining procedures in BBL.
(DEFUN still works in BBL as in Common Lisp; DEFINE-FUNCTION
provides various extensions.)
DEFINE-FUNCTION is specified fully in the file .../bike/define-function.txt.
Here is a summary of its main features:
- Handling of keyword arguments such that they need not be specified in
a call using ':' (i.e., as keyword symbols), but can be specified using any
symbol in any package whose symbol-name matches the symbol name of the
keyword parameter.
- Allowing keywords to have aliases.
- Allowing syntactic tokens (words that make a call seem more
English like, and/or optionally appear in a specific place between
required arguments. These token variables are like flag variables
(see below) but they must appear in a specific place.)
- "Flag" arguments--keyword arguments that take no subsequent
value but are simply present or not (and their value is T or NIL.)
- Allowing aliases for the function name
- Specification of argument types and return value (using syntax
simpler than DECLARE syntax)
- Runtime checking of argument types and generation of meaningful
error messages.
- Runtime coercion of arguments by type.
- Implicit mapping of required arguments declared atomic but given
as lists.
- Declaration of local variables (equivalent to &aux or initial
LET) using simple syntax
- Retained ability to define simple functions simply using a
DEFUN-like syntax.
- Allowing, but not requring, various kinds of documentation such
as a summary string, a documentation string, examples, and see-also
references (which will get passed through to the DOCUMENT-FUNCTION
macro).
- Provision to allow export of the symbol being defined from the
Biobike package.
- Automatically generating documentation of allowed argument types.
DEFINE-FUNCTION has a very different look and feel from DEFUN. Here
is a small example:
(define-function search-for
required (element (in within) seq)
keyword (start = 1)
type (seq = lisp:sequence start = lisp:fixnum)
summary "Finds the position of the first occurrence of ELEMENT in SEQ."
body (loop for j from start to (length seq)
when (equal element (ref seq j))
(return j)
))
Instead of a single argument list, DEFINE-FUNCTION provides
independent specifications for each kind of argument: required and
keyword arguments, as in Common Lisp, and two new argument types,
token and flag arguments. BBL does not allow Common Lisp's &optional
or &rest argument types. Instead of type declaration statements
within the body of a definition the user uses TYPE clauses, which
additionally guarantee that the argument type will be checked (when
safety is enabled, as defined by the *safety* variable being non-NIL).
Many other features as listed above are also available.
Defconversion
DEFINE-FUNCTION allows the user to do automatic coercion of input
arguments. This is facilitated by BBL's DEFCONVERSION facility.
DEFCONVERSION allows the user (or the system administrator for a BBL
instantiation) to define a default conversion from one type to
another, and a set of named conversions in addition to the default
from the one type to the other. Here is an example of DEFCONVERSION
interacting with DEFINE-FUNCTION:
;; define a default conversion from floating point to integer, and
;; two alternative methods
(defconversion (single-float to integer) (f) (round f))
(defconversion (single-float to integer :named fceiling) (f) (ceiling f))
(defconversion (single-float to integer :named ftruncate) (f) (truncate f))
(define-function foo
required (float1 float2)
convert float1 from single-float to integer
convert float2 from single-float to integer using fceiling
body (list float1 float2)
)
(foo 1.4 1.3)
--> (1 2)
Note: If no DEFCONVERSION method has been defined and the user
specifies that an argument is to be converted to a particular type,
then the Common Lisp function COERCE is called to do this conversion.
Loop facility
The new BBL loop facility is designed to remedy some of the more
obnoxious features and flaws of Common Lisp's loop facility.
The BBL loop facility is more completely described in
.../doc/loop-syntax.txt. Some of the more interesting features of the
new loop facility are:
- The ability to loop over lists, arrays, strings, hash tables,
garrays and frames using a standard syntax; in LISP:LOOP the way one
iterates over a list is different than how one iterates over a vector
and both are different than how one iterates over a hash table!
- The ability to leave out the 'DO' before the body of the loop.
This is one of the most common errors made by people using LISP:LOOP,
even by very experienced programmers.
The BBL loop facility imposes significant restrictions compared to
LISP:LOOP's syntax and semantics. Some of these restrictions are:
- Variable initialization clauses (which in LISP:LOOP begin with
the word 'WITH,' while in BBL begin with the word 'INIT') are
required to occur before any other loop clauses.
- No collection into variables is allowed; only a single COLLECT
can be specified.
- The token 'IF' as toplevel control structure within the body of
the loop is not allowed; only 'WHEN' and 'UNLESS' are allowed.
- No INITIALLY clauses are allowed.
Note: LISP:LOOP is a very complicated macro, both syntactically and
semantically. There are many of LISP:LOOP's features not specifically
listed above that are not implemented in BBL's LOOP.
Here is an example of BBL's loop in action:
(defparameter ht (utils:create-hash-table '((a 1) (b 2) (c 3))))
(loop init (x y) = {"abc" "def"}
for (key value) in ht
for j fixnum from 1
(print (list j key value x[j] y[(- 4 j)]))
finally (return "all done!"))
(1 B 2 "a" "f")
(2 A 1 "b" "e")
(3 C 3 "c" "d")
"all done!"
FUNCALL and APPLY unusable with DEFINE-FUNCTION
BBL functions defined with DEFINE-FUNCTION
cannot be used as arguments to FUNCALL, APPLY, or other
functions expecting functions as arguments. This is because BBL
functions are actually defined as lisp macros; this is spelled out in
more detail in the DEFINE-FUNCTION document. (A user can use a Common
Lisp LAMBDA construct to get around this restriction.)
Special Operators
The list of Lisp special operators available to BBL is still under
construction; The current list is specified in .../bike/symbols.lisp.
a
Macros
The list of Lisp macros available to BBL is still under construction;
The current list is specified in .../bike/symbols.lisp.
Functions
The list of Lisp functions available to BBL is still under construction;
The current list is specified in .../bike/symbols.lisp.
BBL specific variables, functions and macros.
The set of BBL specific symbols is maintained in .../bike/bbl-package.lisp
Miscellaneous
BBL is designed to be user-friendly. Much work went into attempting
to make the error messages it itself produces clear. Sometimes this
means the messages are quite verbose! Still, the BBL language does
not have control over all possible error messages a user might
encounter -- many are still generated by the underlying Lisp system
while others are generated by functions written in BBL and made part
of the BioBike system.
BBL maintains a user-level stack trace so that when an error occurs an
informative flow of control report is generated. Unlike Common Lisp
this stack trace report contains system and user-defined macros.
BBL only does extensive runtime checking and maintenance of its own
flow of control stack when it executes in safe mode. Safe mode is on
by default, and can be disabled (or reenabled) by executing
(setq *safety* nil)
(setq *safety* t)
respectively.
Currently a user enters the BBL system (as opposed to the
Biolisp system) by executing:
(bbl)
Note: A user may enter Biobike mode by default on logging in by
placing the same form as above in his biolisp.ini file.
In order to load a file containing BBL code, the BBL function BBLOAD
must be used. Attempts to load and/or compile files of BBL code using
LISP:LOAD / LISP:COMPILE-FILE will generally not work, or produce
strange error messages, or result in failure at runtime. The BBLOAD
function both compiles and loads; there is no need for a BBL
equivalent of LISP:COMPILE and LISP:COMPILE-FILE.
The Common Lisp function EVAL will not work correctly when handed BBL
forms. BBL forms are only guaranteed to work when evaluated from the
Weblistener in biobike mode, causing the BBL compiler to preprocess
the input form before handing it off to Lisp.
Credits
The BBL language was designed by a committee including Jeff Elhai,
Jeff Shrager, JP Massar, Peter Seibel, Mike Travers, and Mark
Slupesky.
The BBL language infrastructure was implemented by JP Massar and Mark
Slupesky. JP Massar implemented BBL's loop facility. Mark Slupesky
wrote many of the tests for DEFINE-FUNCTION. Peter Seibel implemented
the DOCUMENT-FUNCTION facility (not specific to BBL, but as part of
the BBL language implementation effort). Jeff Elhai, Arnaud Taton and
others are implementing the macros and functions that will constitute
the user-level interface to the language.


INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL BANK LTD. (ICB). CIRCLE ACCRA BRANCH, ACCRA-GHANA. Beloved One, Sir, Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mrs. Monica Kofi credit officer of the International Commercial Bank Ltd. (ICB) I have a concealed business suggestion for you. Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client General. Ibrahim Moussa who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of (US$8,000,000.00) Eight Millions United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early this year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the General and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home. After further investigation it was also discovered that Gen. Ibrahim Moussa did not declare any next of kin in his official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my bank. So, Twenty millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the to the laws of my country at the expiration 3 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Ghana Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa so that you will be able to receive his funds. WHAT IS TO BE DONE: I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Gen. Ibrahim Moussa, all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you. There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going adopt a Legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents. Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue. Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account we shall share in the ratio of 50% for me, 40% for you and 10% for the Charity/Motherless babies Home. Should you be interested please send me your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication and I will provide you with more details of this operation. Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. You can as well call me on this number for more clarifications: + 233-24-4026959 for more information. And easy communication. Kind Regards, Mrs. Monica Kofi.


JUDGE DREDD [Spoilers] A film review by Owen Copyright 1995 Owen
[Note: this review is from a 12-year-old's perspective. -Moderator]
A WORD FROM THE O-BOY
I saw JUDGE DREDD and it didn't suck. No, really, it was about how in the Third Millennium people realized police couldn't do crap so they got ripped brain-stems and made them judge, jury, and executioner. So they train this one dude who worships the law and blows away baddies and announces, "I yam da laaaaaaaaaaawwwww!" People get peeved at his "law" and he has to take course in ethics then is suspected of killing the head of the judges, is found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.
In the ship taking him to prison he meets someone he sentenced and Christian rednecks blow up all but one portion of ship and capture Dredd and his little friend. The friend claims he's a believer, and it turns out the rednecks are cannibals.  Dredd-2 makes a zillion clones who are mysteriously sucked out of the plot.  Dredd is assigned to head (headredd, har, har.) refuses, kisses lawyer, movie credits. R for violence, 8 for cliches (2 cliches within movie.)

Carmarthen 'will be left behind' without new business improvement scheme
A ballot of hundreds of town centre traders will take place next February
by Richard YouleCarmarthen looks set to have its own business improvement scheme after "vital" backing from the county council.
Councillors approved a series of recommendations which will help pave the way for the new Carmarthen business improvement district (Bid).
Bid schemes have been credited with boosting the fortunes of towns and cities through events, festivals and other actions.
John Nash, who leads the Carmarthen Bid steering group, said the council's support was crucial.
"It's vital, without a doubt," he said.
The scheme would raise just over £160,000 per year by levying a charge on members and run for an initial period of five years, subject to confirmation via a postal ballot.
The council backed the proposal at a meeting on November 13, and will nominate a representative to sit on the Bid company board.
The authority also agreed to collect the Bid levy at no charge for five years, and contribute its share relating to 15 council-owned properties within the Bid zone.
Council leader Emlyn Dole said. "It is something we would like to support fully."
Carmarthen Town South Cllr Alun Lenny said the town was doing well but that small businesses were suffering from the growth in internet shopping.
"Local businesses need every help they can get," he said.
Cllr John Jenkins said Bid schemes were a good way of getting traders and councils together.
He said the work of Ymlaen Llanelli - the Bid scheme in his local town - had increased footfall significantly.
"It's a fantastic way of putting a town centre on the map," he said.
The Carmarthen Bid's priorities are improving business profitability, improving parking for businesses and customers, and improving the profile and look of the town.
Member businesses would pay an annual levy equivalent to 1.5 per cent of their rateable value if it's over £6,000. For a business with a £50,000 rateable value, it would work out at £750 per year.
A five-year plan sets out how the money raised would be spent, although the Bid board would also seek external sources of funding.
One pledge is to fund a town centre ambassador as part of a "croeso cynnes" (warm welcome) initiative, while a loyalty card scheme for shoppers and staff could also be explored.
Mr Nash said a ballot of more than 300 traders and premises would take place in February, prior to a board of directors being appointed.
A previous study, he said, showed that 74 per cent of traders were in favour of the Bid scheme.
"Carmarthen will be left behind if we don't go down the Bid route," he said.
Mr Nash also said the steering group needed four more volunteers.
"It could be an estate agent, or solicitor - and we would like someone from the transport sector," he said.


FIRST DRIVE: Rolls Royce Cullinan Black Badge — An Exercise in Excess
Let’s face it, this is the car all of you have been waiting to see from the 2019 LA Auto Show. The BMW M2 CS …
by Nico DeMattiaI’m not a rich man. I never have been. So the idea of luxurious excess seems a bit ridiculous to me. As it does to the rest of the 99-percent. As a normal working-class man, I’ve never had the means to experience an abundance of riches, so such things have always felt foreign, and even a bit wasteful, to me. However, after experiencing them in the all-new Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge, I’ve seen the warm, luxurious light. I get it. I want it. I need it.
Following my day with BMW, at its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant, Rolls-Royce had a select few of us journalist hang back while the rest flew home. The reason for our extended stay was that we were selected to drive the all-new Cullinan Black Badge, a car that had only been privately unveiled to us the night before and which had never yet been driven by anyone outside of Rolls-Royce. So we obviously felt quite special, almost as if we were among the world’s chosen elite.
The Unveiling
Let’s rewind a bit, though. The night prior to our drive, in typical Rolls-Royce fashion, the new Cullinan Black Badge was unveiled outside, at night, with a light show and smoke machines. Two of the new Cullinans, the only two registered to drive on the road in fact, were driven out onto a lawn, through strobe lights and smoke, to show off their new features.
Being mostly working-class folk, we looked at the overly opulent Rolls’ through rolled eyes and sarcastic smirks. We then looked at each other and giggled as Rolls showed off the Black Badge’s new shooting star feature in its Starlight headliner — which creates random shooting stars using its thousands of pin-hole LEDs. However, once we sat inside them, saw the almost magical headliner, we were all convinced. More than that, though, we wanted to drive them. That was what the following day was for.
The Drive
My day of driving actually began in a Rolls-Royce Wraith Black Badge, a car that’d I’d already driven a few years back. Rolls-Royce only had two Cullinan Black Badge SUVs to drive and ten journalists, so they needed a few support vehicles. The Wraith being one of them. Snaking an almost three-ton luxury GT car through some of North Carolina’s most stunning, twisty roads might not seem like fun but it actually was. I had a blast hustling the big brute through the mountains, far more so than I thought I would.
However, I could feel the heft and size of the thing. So I was a bit skeptical about the even larger, heavier Cullinan Black Badge, a drive that would soon follow. When you think of twisty mountain roads, sports cars typically come to mind. Not half-million-dollar luxury SUVs. Having said that, the new Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge charmed me on those stunning roads more than I ever thought it could.
First, What Makes it a Black Badge?
The new Cullinan Black Badge is the Cullinan for the more youthful, more stylish, more daring Rolls-Royce customer. As with all of the brand’s Black Badge models, the new Cullinan has darkened accents throughout the car, including, but not limited to, its window trim, grille surround and even the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy.
As for the latter, Rolls-Royce realized that simply painting the Spirit of Ecstasy wasn’t good enough. Any sort of finish can fade over time and can even potentially become chipped from being stuck on the hood of a moving car for years. Those sorts of imperfections are simply unacceptable on such a beautiful and iconic symbol of Rolls-Royce. So instead, the craftspeople in Goodwood decided to put the Spirit of Ecstasy through a chemical darkening treatment. This way, the actual metal itself is darkened, without the need of an additional finish.
Seeing that darkened Spirit of Ecstasy proudly leading the way atop the Cullinan’s massive hood, which seemed as if it went on forever, immediately made me realize I was piloting something special. There’s something incredibly theatrical about seeing that legendary hood ornament stuck way out in front, like the Figurehead of an ancient warship. Which is appropriate, considering the Cullinan weighs about as much as one.
Is Black Badge More Than Just Style?
But despite that massive weight, it handles as if its underpinnings are made from sorcery. The the Black Badge Cullinan is slightly sharper, slightly more dynamic than its more standard sibling (Rolls-Royce unofficially calls standard Rollers “Silver Badge”). I won’t call it sporty, for fear of being hanged in the Tower of London, but the Cullinan is capable enough to handle a relatively curvy road. However, it’s never not effortlessly comfortable. There’s a supple solidity to the way the Rolls-Royce Cullinan drives that even the additional aggression of the Black Badge package can’t take away.
You can feel all of the Cullinan’s heft but never in a bad way. The astounding silence of the Cullinan’s cabin also helps to create an incredibly calm environment and its suspension soaks up bumps as if its shocks and are filled with liquid Vibranium. So while it feels heavy and solid, it’s also quite pliant and relaxed. Like a bank vault wrapped in a cloud.
And that’s how the Cullinan needs to be driven. Don’t try and hustle it, don’t try and make it something it’s not. It’s not a Range Rover SVR or a BMW X7 M50i. Hell, it’s not even a Bentley Bentayga. Instead, it’s something entirely different. While swift and more capable than you might imagine, one needs to be patient when driving it quickly. Turn the wide-diameter, spindle-thin steering wheel and the nose will bite but it does so like a yacht-like calmness; there’s a bit of hesitation but if you allow it that time, it will grip the road quite well.
Once the front end changes direction, let weight shift and the body settle. Let it roll a bit and it will settle down on its suspension, providing all the needed grip to then get back on the power and let its monster engine and all-wheel drive system pull you out. Be sure to get off the throttle and onto the brakes quickly though, otherwise you’ll find yourself in quite a bit of trouble. Its opulence and capability help hide its mass but physics cannot be denied forever and those brakes, while impressive, need some time to haul down its moon-like curb weight. Especially when the monster engine under hood can get the big Cullinan up to speed very quickly.
Powering the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge is a slightly revised version of the standard Cullinan’s 6.75 liter twin-turbocharged V12. In Black Badge spec, it makes a whopping 600 PS (591 hp) and 664 lb-ft of torque. So despite weighing as much as a medium-sized asteroid, the Cullinan is surprisingly quick. Which makes managing its weight all that much more important.
However, once you get the hang of it, once you learn how to properly drive it, the Cullinan Black Badge is a lovely car. I found myself genuinely enjoying it on a twisty road, something I never thought I’d say about a three-ton SUV. But there’s a grace to the way the Cullinan Black Badge moves, a sophisticated athleticism that makes it wonderful to drive, even quickly.
How’s the Inside
But that’s just the beginning of the charm that comes with the Cullinan Black Badge. Its cabin is, as is the case with any Rolls-Royce, nothing short of fabulous. The leather is from another world, with a richness and suppleness that will shame even the most expensive of BMW or Mercedes-Benz. It made the ALPINA B7, I drove the day prior, a car I adore, seem like a rental Corolla. The switchgear feels like metal because it is metal and everything you can touch has a lovely weight to it, making it feel expensive.
Being a Cullinan Black Badge, it has a few interesting new interior bits. The shooting star headliner is among the more interesting ones. There are also little “infinity” symbols throughout the cabin, which is a Black Badge identifier. There’s also a lovely carbon fiber weave, which has been specially developed by Rolls-Royce to create a three-dimensional, repeatable pattern throughout.
 Carbon fiber is cool but it’s essentially just fancy plastic. The only three major materials that should be inside a Rolls-Royce are leather, wood and metal. Plastic, no matter how fancy, shouldn’t be in there. Having said that, the stuff inside the Cullinan Black Badge is quite nice.
The shooting star headliner is also genuinely sensational. It seems like a silly thing at first, to have little LED shooting stars above your head while you drive. It seems trivial and even sort of cheesy. Until you see it. It’s awesome and fantastic in a way that made me feel like a child-like sense of wonder in the best ways possible.
If You Can Afford It…
The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge isn’t for me. It probably isn’t for you. The car I tested had a price tag north of $440,000. That’s three times more than I spent on my first condo. However, as the old saying goes, if you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it. And for those who actually can afford the Cullinan Black Badge, they’ll love it.
There really isn’t a proper competitor for it, that’s why. People who buy the Cullinan Black Badge aren’t cross-shopping it with a Bentley Bentayga or a Lamborghini Urus. Those cars are more about driving and capability. Instead, the Cullinan is for the customer who drives a Range Rover Autobiography but wants more luxury. And can afford it.
For those who can afford it, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge offers style, wonder and effortless luxury in a way that’s almost ridiculous to normal folks like me. But that’s the beauty of it. It’s an exercise in luxurious excess. It’s something more. Something special.

_sample_proposals
(self, matched_idxs, matched_labels, gt_classes, gt_attributes)¶ Based on the matching between N proposals and M groundtruth, sample the proposals and set their classification labels.
- Args:
- matched_idxs (Tensor): a vector of length N, each is the best-matched
gt index in [0, M) for each proposal.
- matched_labels (Tensor): a vector of length N, the matcher’s label
(one of cfg.MODEL.ROI_HEADS.IOU_LABELS) for each proposal.
gt_classes (Tensor): a vector of length M.
- Returns:
Tensor: a vector of indices of sampled proposals. Each is in [0, N). Tensor: a vector of the same length, the classification label for
each sampled proposal. Each sample is labeled as either a category in [0, num_classes) or the background (num_classes).

_build_res5_block
(self, cfg)¶
-
label_and_sample_proposals
(self, proposals, targets)¶ Prepare some proposals to be used to train the ROI heads. It performs box matching between proposals and targets, and assigns training labels to the proposals. It returns
self.batch_size_per_image
random samples from proposals and groundtruth boxes, with a fraction of positives that is no larger thanself.positive_sample_fraction
.- Args:
See
ROIHeads.forward()
- Returns:
- list[Instances]:
length N list of Instances`s containing the proposals sampled for training. Each `Instances has the following fields:
proposal_boxes: the proposal boxes
gt_boxes: the ground-truth box that the proposal is assigned to (this is only meaningful if the proposal has a label > 0; if label = 0 then the ground-truth box is random)
Other fields such as “gt_classes”, “gt_masks”, that’s included in targets.
