RUDE A film review by T. Robin Sutherland Copyright 1995 T. Robin Sutherland
Despite the local nature of this film (set in the projects of Toronto's Regent Park), I can only describe RUDE as an exotic film. It is overwhelmingly visual, with dark, mosaic images ranging from distortions of sacred scenes literally painted into the background, to shots of excessive physical violence which compose the thematic background for Clement Virgo's stories. Often presented in montage-ish segues between scenes, and generally garish in its symbolism, the viewer cannot stop looking at Virgo's panorama; I walked away feeling like I needed another viewing just watch the compositions.
The three stories of the film, already graphically intense in their narrative, draw extraordinary power from this visual context. All three stories are set to the pirate radio voice of DJ Rude, whose sharp and witty monologues float through the film in much the same way as its images. This framing device works very well here--neither condescending, moralizing, nor patronizing. Simply the voice of pain, anger, and frustration, coated in slick, deliberate, and decidedly politically incorrect terms. It is not a linear compliment to the film. It has almost nothing to do with the plotline--rather, it is tonal and atmospheric, using a voice in much the same as another director might use a unifying colour or soundtrack. The effect is disturbing, but very successful.
The main plotline concerns an ex-con struggle to be an honest husband and father, despite pressure to return to the streets as General Luke, well-paid dealer. It is an exercise in self-deprecation, an observation of societal-deprecation, and a very plausible attempt to negotiate worth in a micro-culture that values an escape from pain above everything, including life itself. These are not new themes for films set in poverty-ridden situations, but Virgo's presentation is amazingly fresh: character twists, such as presenting a wife as a police officer, mingle well with intense stand-offs, death-wishing mob bosses, and even motifs as old as the tortured artist. This is the most linear of the three stories, and it hangs together well--in addition to setting the narrative backdrop for the film, it is "real," engaging and empathetic.
One of the two secondary storylines revolves around a young woman who must cope with the emotional, psychological and physical aftermath of a relationship. Presented less as a story and more as an impression, the sequence of shots is often internally inconsistent--conflicting images representing the same memory occur, and this is often taken to surreal extremes. Frequently the lips move, but something different is being said. These memories are conveyed effectively with videotape sequences (apparently the boyfriend's fetish), which become confused and conflated with the real life within her apartment (all of this story's sequences take place here). These distortions, amplified by different filters, uncomfortable angles, and the use of decorative mannequins strewn about the shots, appropriately reflect the incongruities she is too conscious of in her mind and body. The effect is of a violence almost completely internalized, but perhaps more powerful in its repression, discovery and exorcism.
Meanwhile, the audience is also following the problems of a young man who is forced to wrestle with a fundamental inconsistency: he belongs to a peer group of gay bashers while wrestling personally with the issue of homosexuality. The themes of a boxing movie are utilized here to deflect some of the violence generated by this tension, but finally the violence which has developed physically in this benign direction must explode in the direction of the anger. Virgo has said that he wanted to explore the issue of homophobia in black popular culture, but the film also fits thematically with the other two: none of these stories promise better conditions for the next day, but in some way each of the three leads has found a way to describe themselves in a way that they can live with. In a film where life is alternately very cheap and extremely precious, this successful negotiation of themes is perhaps the most powerful part of the film.
It is unbelievable to me that RUDE could have been filmed for a reported $350,000 by a first-time director. The acting is more than convincing, the sets alternate brutal realism with eerie surrealism very effectively, and to my untrained eye, the technical achievement of this film rivals almost anything I've seen this year. Virgo's highly stylized directing is visually riveting and thematically complex. To the criticism that it is overly symbolic: perhaps the same power could have been delivered a little more subtly, but I am reminded of something I read in a local review: it does not matter. The film itself is also about making symbols, icons to hang identity upon, and if it is overdone here, this too is appropriate.
There's a rumour going about that Virgo and novelist Michael Ondatje may make a film together in the near future. As a big fan of both artists, I am eager for this to be true. Meanwhile, I highly recommend RUDE to anyone with an open-mind, strong stomach, and not-too-easily upset sensibilities. A tough tour-de-force for the eye and the mind.

You can find cliche freshman advice everywhere and from anyone, but it’s time to hear the tips beyond “go to class” and “don’t forget shower shoes!” While those are still both very important, here are 9 tips that will keep you thriving during your freshman year:
Never leave clothes in the washer or dryer after a cycle
There’s no worse feeling than walking down to the laundry room 30 minutes after the washer ended, only to find your soaking wet clothes scattered all over the floor. Yes, people are that cruel. With only so many washers available to a full dorm of students, people will get impatient and throw clothes everywhere. To avoid this situation, make sure to set an alarm on your phone and be down to the laundry room a minute early. Pro tip: Don’t wait until Sunday to do loads of laundry like everyone else.
Don’t go overboard on the caffeine
The caffeine cycle is a vicious one. There will be restless, sleepless nights that require a heavy dose of coffee the next day, but be careful. Once this becomes a habit, it’s easy to become dependent on caffeine to get through each and every day. A casual Red Bull here and there is needed sometimes but can easily turn into health problems when it becomes an everyday staple. If you need a boost daily, try occasionally swapping coffee for a caffeinated tea (such as black or green tea).
Build a healthy relationship with your roommate
One of the most important relationships in college is the one you have with your roommate. While it’s always great to be besties with your roomie, the truth is most people don’t get that lucky. At the bare minimum, start out on the right foot by establishing mutual respect for eachother. It’s important to be cognizant about their study and sleeping habits and make sure they are aware of yours. Regardless of your differences, try to do activities together outside of your room in order to build a closer bond. Who knows, you might have found your best friend for life by the end of the year!
Appreciate the care packages from home
They always say count your blessings. That unexpected text notification that “you have a package at the mailroom” is one of them. Nothing beats the feeling of a heart-felt care package all the way from home, personalized with your favorite goodies or that one thing you forgot to pack, especially at a time when you need it most. You never know the next time you’ll be so lucky to get one, so be sure to call home and graciously thank whoever took the time out of their day to send one to you.
Three words: Get. A. Planner.
Balancing multiple classes can be a tough act, especially if you don’t have anywhere to organize all of the things you’re supposed to remember. Make life a little easier by investing in a planner! Dedicate Sunday nights to mapping out that week’s assignments and meetings so you have a clear visual of what the days ahead will look like. In doing so, you’ll be able to not only be on top of your studies, but also find the gaps where you can make time for hobbies and other activities that will bring you happiness amid all the mayhem.
Don’t let your friends or relationships consume your life
It’s always nice to have a circle of people that you can count on or that special someone who gives you butterflies. At the same time, you can’t allow your life to revolve around that one factor. It can be fairly easy to get wrapped up in all the social events going on around you or that certain person who just won’t text you back. Don’t forget the real reason you’re attending college: to build yourself and further your career for the future. Parties and outings will come and go, but that assignment you have due at midnight has an expiration date. Above all, make sure you are still putting in the work that will build your own credentials and resume far beyond the years in college.
Leave your car at home
Simply put, you don’t need it. Parking on campus can be extremely pricey and can be easily avoided. Get to know campus more by taking walks and strolling around to find some of its most beautiful spots. It can also be hard to find time to work out during a busy week, but walking around will make sure you’re still getting your cardio in. Long story short, you’ll save more money, and you’ll get your exercise daily. It’s a win-win situation.
Say “yes” more often
College is full of opportunities. If you say no to everything that is thrown your way, you will regret it. Think of some of your fondest moments and how most of them would not exist if you had said “no” or blew off plans. Laziness will set in at times, but make sure to open yourself to new experiences and activities. When people ask you to grab coffee or tag along for dinner at the dining hall, go. You never know who you’ll end up meeting or the connections you’ll make by simply saying “yes” to more things. If you are someone who has trouble meeting new people, saying “yes” more often will allow you to open yourself up to all the memories that will fill your college years.
 Let’s be real.
The most important priority when you first begin college? Your own mind. Without proper care, everything else can go downhill. Be grateful for the good moments when they come, but also take a breather when the bad ones come around. When you have a full schedule, it’s easy to become burnt out when you don’t take moments to check in with your own well-being. Morning classes can be tough for everyone, but waking up just 10 minutes earlier to prime yourself for the day will make all the difference. When times get stressful, make sure to always know it’s OK to walk away for a brief moment to clear your mind. Treat yourself to some meditation or a yoga class to give yourself an inner hug. Just breathe; you got this.


We built a product that helps individuals and organisations digitise some of our most valuable information – qualifications.
In a world where everything is moving from paper to digital, we’re committed to making sure qualifications don’t fall behind.
BlueQ is a company born from necessity. In our previous roles, my co-founders and I were required to have up to five different qualifications in order to be compliant.
Stored on plastic cards or paper certificates that were hung on our walls and filed away in our drawers – we found that our qualifications would often get lost or expire without us even noticing.
This gave us the idea for BlueQ – a seamless platform that makes this valuable information interactive and at your fingertips. A platform which digitises qualifications, so that you can access, share and renew them at ease. A platform that brings your hard earned qualifications into the 21st century.
We’re also passionate about helping organisations. Whether it be a local childcare centre, sports club or a national education provider, we’re making workplaces and community organisations safer for all by making this important information more accessible, verifiable and easy to aggregate through our BlueQ organisation accounts.
We’d really love to share BlueQ with you! Get started with one of our free accounts.

Sets and Predicate Calculus
Why we need new foundations
“ Since the first half of the 20th century mathematics has been presented as a science based on ZFC and ZFC was introduced as a particular theory in Predicate Logic.
“ Therefore someone who wanted to get to the bottom of things in mathematics had a simple road to follow - learn what Predicate Logic is, then learn a particular theory called ZFC, then learn how to translate propositions about a few basic mathematical concepts into formulas of ZFC, and then learn to believe, through examples, that the rest of mathematics can be reduced to these few basic concepts.”
“ The roadblock that prevented generations of interested mathematicians and computer scientists
from solving the problem of computer verification of mathematical reasoning was the
unpreparedness of foundations of mathematics for the requirements of this task.”
“ Formulating mathematical reasoning in a language precise enough for a computer to follow
meant using a foundational system of mathematics not as a standard of consistency applied only
to establish a few fundamental theorems, but as a tool that can be employed in everyday
mathematical work. ”

In programming language design, a first-class citizen (also type, object, entity, or value) in a given programming language is an entity which supports all the operations generally available to other entities. These operations typically include being passed as an argument, returned from a function, and assigned to a variable.

Classifying spaces and Univalence
Synthetic homotopy theory
In analogy with attaching cells of dimension $2$ and above, we can introduce (consistent) rules for introducing higher inductive types.
In the other direction, by axiomatizing type theoretic principles, we can develop synthetic homotopy theory, where the primitive concepts are spaces, points, maps, paths etc. but without requiring sets or topologies on them.

Looking to create your personal blog using Hugo and hosting it on GitHub Pages?
To be honest, it can sound a bit intimidating and challenging at first.
I, too, felt the same while I setup this blog using Hugo and the Coder theme.
In this post, I share my experience during the process - from the specific commands to the lessons learnt.
In addition to this, I also share my workflow for publishing posts using a shell script.
Requirements Link to heading
- OS: macOS, Ubuntu - the steps can easily extend to other Unix-based OS i.e. No Windows (sorry, not sorry)
- Terminal + Shell - for executing all the commands
- Hugo (Read: Installation)
- Git (Read: Installation)
- Text Editor - to write blog content (I prefer Visual Studio Code)
- Web Browser - for accessing GitHub and selecting themes
By the end of the post, you should have a blog, with at least one post, up and running on GitHub Pages.
Let’s dive in!
Hugo Link to heading
Step 1: Create a basic Hugo site Link to heading
- Open up the terminal.
- Navigate to the directory where you want to store the blog locally.
- Create a new hugo site:
$ hugo new site blog
- Change to the newly created
blog
directory:$ cd blog
Step 2: Setup GitHub and Git locally Link to heading
(Working directory: blog
)
GitHub Link to heading
- Create a new repository on GitHub naming it as
<your-github-username>.github.io
(kshitij10496.github.io
, in my case).
Git Link to heading
- Initialise the
blog
directory with Git:$ git init
- Add the
$ git submodule add https://github.com/<username>/<username>.github.io public
- A new
public
folder should be created within theblog
directory. - Choose a Hugo Theme for your blog from here
- Add the theme as another Git submodule:
$ git submodule add <theme-git-url> themes/<themeName>
Ex: For thecoder
theme, use:$ git submodule add https://github.com/luiz/coder themes/coder
LESSON: Using git submodules
empowers us to specify theme version for our blog and reduce the code duplication and maintenance.
NOTE: This is one of the most important hence confusing, step of the entire process.
We have to deal with atleast 2 separate Git repositories in the same directory.
We will track the final statically generated website in the public
sub-directory and host it on GitHub.
Ideally, this would contain the final HTML and CSS files. The blog
directory should contain the Markdown content,
static images and configuration files relevant to Hugo.
BONUS: It’s your choice whether you want to publish this repo to GitHub or not. Personally, I pushed mine to hugo-blog
.
Step 3: Creating Content Link to heading
(Working directory: blog
)
- Customise the
config.toml
file according to your needs. Refer: Sample - Create a new content file:
$ hugo new posts/hello-world.md
- A new markdown file named
hello-world.md
is created incontent/posts
directory with some metadata. - Write your heart out! :love:
- Preview the website with the newly created draft
$ hugo serve -D
- Navigate to your new site at
http://localhost:1313/
(most probably). - When you are happy with your post, set the
draft
header in the file tofalse
. - Generate the final static website:
$ hugo
- Move to
public
directory and you will notice many newly created HTML/CSS files aka “Your Blog”.
The blog is all ready to be the next viral thing on the internet! 😎
In the next step, we commit the changes and push the public
folder to GitHub.
Step 4: Workflow for Publishing Content Link to heading
(Working directory: blog/public
)
- Staging the changes made:
$ git add .
- Commiting the changes:
$ git commit -m "<your-commit-message>"
- Pushing to GitHub repo:
$ git push origin master
- Enter your GitHub credentials when/if prompted.
- Your blog should be up and running on
https://<your-github-username>.github.io
within a couple of minutes. - Congratulations! You made it. 👏
BONUS: I have created a deploy.sh shell script which abstracts the above commands. You can download it and place it in the blog
directory.
NOTE: In general, commiting directly to master
is not a recommended Git practice. Git branches are the way to go.
However, I’m suggesting direct manipulation of the master
branch primarily because this is a personal blog.
Be careful with this!
Creating new content Link to heading
Now that you have setup your blog, creating new posts is a breeze!
You simply need to follow the method mentioned in Step 3 and Step 4 from above.
Pretty clean, isn’t it?
Final Thoughts Link to heading
I hope this post will help you get started with adopting Hugo for your static site needs and hosting it on GitHub should now be easy. There are a lot of customisations which I’m still exploring and discovering everytime I publish something. You can take a look at my config.toml file for this blog as a reference.
In case you have any queries/face issues with the above-mentioned process, don’t be afraid to ask in the comments section below.
Cheers! 🍺


[Gecode] Static post methods again...
Christian Schulte
schulte at imit.kth.se
Wed Nov 19 10:51:41 CET 2003
Dear all,
I am not yet convinced that the introduction for static post method for each
class really makes sense: in many cases the simplification of propagators
according to certain variable domains will be done anyway upon first
invocation of the propagator. So putting this decision making again in the
post method will lead to a code blowup while it is not likely that
performance will noticable imptove (it might decrease do to increasing code
size).
So I suggest that while this is not yet clear we refrain from adding this
stuff without feeling a clear necessitiy to do so.
Cheers
Christian

Donald Clark, PA-C, makes access to comprehensive medical care convenient for his aging patients and extends care to underserved communities in metro Detroit and in Central and South America. In 2004, after working for several years in cardiology, urgent care and in primary care practices, he established Clark Center for Comprehensive Medicine. There, he provides centralized access to care to patients, most of whom he’s treated for almost three decades.
Partnering with two collaborating physicians, Dr. Clark manages patients holistically. Treatment plans tap into patients’ emotional, physical and spiritual well-being as well as social determinants such as access to transportation, mobility, finances and housing. He even likes to involve family members to take a team approach to solving patients’ medical issues. Since most of his patients have complex, debilitating medical problems and are over the age of 50, he has expanded from onsite primary care to offering extended services, including ongoing homecare, hospital, nursing home and sub-acute rehabilitation center rounds. He follows patients from outpatient to inpatient admission and coordinates access to physical and occupational therapists, dieticians, mental health providers and social workers. He also offers some diagnostic imaging to ensure patients have easier access to testing, specialists and comprehensive healthcare.
Beyond interfacing with patients, Clark devotes time and resources to research emerging standards of care to remain professionally adept and administer evidence-based medicine.

The Enable SSB Async Messages command turns on/off soul block related asynchronous messages. These include shield collision/regrowth messages, boost use/regrowth messages, XP growth, and level-up messages. This feature defaults to off. Params
flag
Number
whether or not to enable async messages
callback
Function
function to be triggered after write

The Run Macro command attempts to execute the specified macro. Macro IDs are split into groups: 0-31 are System Macros. They are compiled into the Main Application, and cannot be deleted. They are always available to run. 32-253 are User Macros. They are downloaded and persistently stored, and can be deleted in total. 255 is the Temporary Macro, a special user macro as it is held in RAM for execution. 254 is also a special user macro, called the Stream Macro that doesn't require this call to begin execution. This command will fail if there is a currently executing macro, or the specified ID code can't be found. Params
id
Number
8-bit Macro ID to run
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.runMacro = function(id, callback) {
id &= 0xFF;
command(commands.runMacro, [id], callback);
};
|
|
The Save Temporary Macro stores the attached macro definition into the temporary RAM buffer for later execution. If this command is sent while a Temporary or Stream Macro is executing it will be terminated so that its storage space can be overwritten. As with all macros, the longest definition that can be sent is 254 bytes. Params
macro
Array
array of bytes with the data to be written
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.saveTempMacro = function(macro, callback) {
command(commands.saveTempMacro, macro, callback);
};
|
|
Save macro The Save Macro command stores the attached macro definition into the persistent store for later execution. This command can be sent even if other macros are executing. You will receive a failure response if you attempt to send an ID number in the System Macro range, 255 for the Temp Macro and ID of an existing user macro in the storage block. As with all macros, the longest definition that can be sent is 254 bytes. Params
macro
Array
array of bytes with the data to be written
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.saveMacro = function(macro, callback) {
command(commands.saveMacro, macro, callback);
};
|
|
The Reinit Macro Executive command terminates any running macro, and reinitializes the macro system. The table of any persistent user macros is cleared. Params
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.reInitMacroExec = function(callback) {
command(commands.initMacroExecutive, null, callback);
};
|
|
The Abort Macro command aborts any executing macro, and returns both it's ID code and the command number currently in progress. An exception is a System Macro executing with the UNKILLABLE flag set. A returned ID code of 0x00 indicates that no macro was running, an ID code of 0xFFFF as the CmdNum indicates the macro was unkillable. Params
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.abortMacro = function(callback) {
command(commands.abortMacro, null, callback);
};
|
|
The Get Macro Status command returns the ID code and command number of the currently executing macro. If no macro is running, the 0x00 is returned for the ID code, and the command number is left over from the previous macro. Params
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.getMacroStatus = function(callback) {
command(commands.macroStatus, null, callback);
};
|
|
The Set Macro Parameter command allows system globals that influence certain macro commands to be selectively altered from outside of the macro system itself. The values of Val1 and Val2 depend on the parameter index. Possible indices:
For more details, please refer to the Sphero Macro document. Params
index
Number
what parameter index to use
val1
Number
value 1 to set
val2
Number
value 2 to set
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.setMacroParam = function(index, val1, val2, callback) {
command(
commands.setMacroParam,
utils.argsToHexArray(index, val1, val2),
callback
);
};
|
|
The Append Macro Chunk project stores the attached macro definition into the temporary RAM buffer for later execution. It's similar to the Save Temporary Macro command, but allows building up longer temporary macros. Any existing Macro ID can be sent through this command, and executed through the Run Macro call using ID 0xFF. If this command is sent while a Temporary or Stream Macro is executing it will be terminated so that its storage space can be overwritten. As with all macros, the longest chunk that can be sent is 254 bytes. You must follow this with a Run Macro command (ID 0xFF) to actually get it to go and it is best to prefix this command with an Abort call to make certain the larger buffer is completely initialized. Params
chunk
Array
of bytes to append for macro execution
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.appendMacroChunk = function(chunk, callback) {
command(commands.appendTempMacroChunk, chunk, callback);
};
|
|

area
Number
which area to erase
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.eraseOrbBasicStorage = function(area, callback) {
area &= 0xFF;
command(commands.eraseOBStorage, [area], callback);
};
|
|
The Append orbBasic Fragment command appends a patch of orbBasic code to existing ones in the specified storage area (0x00 for RAM, 0x01 for persistent). Complete lines are not required. A line begins with a decimal line number
followed by a space and is terminated with a See the orbBasic Interpreter document for complete information. Possible error responses would be ORBOTIX_RSP_CODE_EPARAM if an illegal storage area is specified or ORBOTIX_RSP_CODE_EEXEC if the specified storage area is full. Params
area
Number
which area to append the fragment to
code
String
orbBasic code to append
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.appendOrbBasicFragment = function(area, code, callback) {
area &= 0xFF;
var data = [].concat(area, code);
command(commands.appendOBFragment, data, callback);
};
|
|
The Execute orbBasic Program command attempts to run a program in the specified storage area, beginning at the specified line number. This command will fail if there is already an orbBasic program running. Params
area
Number
which area to run from
slMSB
Number
start line
slLSB
Number
start line
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.executeOrbBasicProgram = function(area, slMSB, slLSB, callback) {
command(

val
Number
value to respond with
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.submitValueToInput = function(val, callback) {
val = utils.intToHexArray(val, 4);
command(commands.answerInput, val, callback);
};
|
|
The Commit To Flash command copies the current orbBasic RAM program to persistent flash storage. It will fail if a program is currently executing out of flash. Params
callback
Function
function to be triggered with response
Returns
|
device.commitToFlash = function(callback) {
command(commands.commitToFlash, null, callback);
};
device._commitToFlashAlias = function(callback) {

[Update: Rolling Out] Google tests Scheduling and Taking a Break from Focus Mode in Digital Wellbeing
by Mishaal RahmanUpdate (11/4/19 @ 11:10 AM ET): As discovered last week, Digital Wellbeing is getting schedules for Focus Mode and it’s rolling out now.
Back at Google I/O earlier this year, Google unveiled new features for Digital Wellbeing, the company’s digital wellness tool that’s now required on all Android devices. The most notable of the two features is Focus Mode, a toggle that blocks access to selected apps to eliminate distractions. In its current implementation, Focus Mode is fairly basic as it can only be manually toggled from within Digital Wellbeing or from a Quick Settings tile. However, we’ve enabled two new enhancements to Focus Mode in the latest Digital Wellbeing beta that should make it more useful.
An APK teardown can often predict features that may arrive in a future update of an application, but it is possible that any of the features we mention here may not make it in a future release. This is because these features are currently unimplemented in the live build and may be pulled at any time by the developers in a future build.
Scheduling
As we spotted late last month, Google is working on a scheduling feature for Focus Mode. Once this feature goes live, you’ll be able to choose a start and end time as well as the days of the week during which you want Digital Wellbeing to automatically enable Focus Mode. About a minute before entering Focus Mode, Digital Wellbeing will post a notification asking if you’re “ready to focus.” You can either wait a minute to let Focus Mode automatically start, or you can tap on the “wait” action to postpone Focus Mode for 10 minutes. Once Focus Mode starts, the notification text updates to tell you when it’ll automatically turn off. The Focus Mode Quick Setting tile also shows scheduling information in the subtext.
Taking a break
If you noticed in the last screenshot above, there’s a new “Take a Break” action in the Focus Mode notification. This feature, as we previously covered, was first spotted by Jane Manchun Wong through her analysis of Digital Wellbeing. The “take a break” action lets you take a 5, 15, or 30 minute-long break from Focus Mode. There’s not much of a point in taking a break when manually toggling Focus Mode, but it may come in handy when you’ve set up a schedule that you generally want to stick with but simply can’t at the moment.
Neither feature is currently live in Digital Wellbeing on any of the other devices that I have. Since these features are fully implemented, it shouldn’t take long for them to rollout. We’ll let you know when that happens.
Thanks to PNF Software for providing us a license to use JEB Decompiler, a professional-grade reverse engineering tool for Android applications.
Update: Rolling Out
As we discovered in the APK teardown last week, Digital Wellbeing is getting new schedules for Focus Mode. You can schedule Focus Mode to be enabled at certain times. And because sometimes you’ll need to get through Focus Mode for a brief moment, you can “Take a break” (temporarily disable Focus Mode) for 5, 15, or 30 minutes. This can be done from within Digital Wellbeing or the notification shade.
Google is positioning Focus Mode as a way to block distractions to focus on a task, but this mode can also be used as an app blocker. There are 3rd-party apps in the Play Store that allow you to block apps during specific times of the day. For example, maybe you want to block social media apps on the weekend so you don’t use your phone as much. Focus Mode’s schedules make that possible on the system level.
Join the beta for Digital Wellbeing to get these features, or download version 1.02752 from APK Mirror.

I'm coding since 4th grade, when my dad taught me BASIC and haven’t looked back since. I'm an AppSec/DevSecOps enthusiast, and always curious about integrating more hacking tools into the CI/CD pipeline. I'm always looking for new interesting ways to increase security awareness over the entire R&D - developers, product and UX. I highly believe in OWASP and a proud member. I am an open source addict, using OSS heavily and keep contributing back.
Today I'm working at Soluto by day and learning for B.A. in humanities by night (ETA: 2025). And before all that, I am Father and Spouse.

Travel back in time to enjoy the simple graphics of one of the first games ever made.
Pong is a 2-dimensional simulation of (table) tennis. You and your opponent share a phone to each control an in-game paddle by moving it horizontally (and vertically, if you'd like) across the screen. You use the paddles to hit a ball back and forth. The aim is for each player to reach eleven points (default, but you can change that) before the opponent does; points are earned when one fails to return the ball to the other.
Check out the settings area for some personalization fun and extra fine-tuning.

Kogi 2019: Former Gov. Wada advocates electronic voting system to curb flaws
by https://www.facebook.com/alao.h.joshuaAgency Reporter
Former Governor Idris Wada of Kogi has called for adoption of electronic voting system with computerised data base to curb the nation’s flaws in electioneering processes, costs and security challenges.
Wada, who made the call while addressing newsmen after casting his vote at Odu Ward 4 Unit 001 on Saturday in Ogboyaga, said most of the nation’s electioneering challenges would be a thing of the past with electronic voting put in place.
He said that the electoral process needed to be organised in a way that there would be minimal human interface.
“We need to go into electronic voting, computerised data base and so on. So that people do not abuse the process.
“Because one of the major problems now is that even when you have orderly voting; when you go to the collation centre, thugs will intercept, shoot guns and change the results and it will not reflect the will of the people,” he said.

On his expectations from the polls, the former governor said, “My expectation is that PDP will win, the situation in our state is very clear to everybody. So, I believe that at the end of the day, PDP will win.
“The process looks quite orderly here in this polling unit but I have received calls and reports of various misconduct in various polling units.
“People are snatching ballot boxes, ballots papers, they broke into a Registration Area Center for ward 2 over night and they took away 7 boxes.
“It is a sad development in our democracy; people should follow an orderly process and allow people to perform their civic responsibility of voting for the candidate of their choice.
Wada said unless the unhealthy development of people imposing themselves on the people as leaders and disallow a free and fair process stopped, the country would not improve and there would be no development.
He condemned the wanton destruction of people’s property over election, saying it was not fair to burn the house of a citizen who had laboured all his life to build “simply because you don’t want him to come out and vote”.

Data Type: GIS Data Layer
Steward: AGRC
Abstract:
This dataset contains GIS mapping data representing the auto-correlated DEM Elevations data available in the State of Utah. The ‘Extents’ are the boundaries of the DEM while the ‘Indices’ are the individual DEM tiles covered by the ‘Extents’.
Data Content:
The following data is available for download:
Each polygon extent contains the following attribute fields when available or applicable:
The auto-correlation process is not as rigorous as other methods of elevation modeling such as photogrammetry, LiDAR mapping, radar mapping, etc, and therefore end-users should be aware that anomalies are expected within the elevation dataset.
These boundaries are maintained by AGRC with the help of many state, county, and local entities. Changes and updates are made as new auto-correlated DEM elevation data is a acquired in Utah.
The native spatial reference for this dataset is UTM Zone 12N, NAD83 (0.01 meter coordinate precision).
There are no constraints or warranties with regard to the use of this dataset. Users are encouraged to attribute content to: State of Utah, SGID.
This dataset is maintained by AGRC in partnership with state and local government.Questions can be direction to Rick Kelson<PHONE_NUMBER>) at AGRC.
