These release notes cover new developer and user-facing incompatibilities, important issues, features, and major improvements.
Previously, the MR job will get failed if AM get restarted for some reason (like node failure, etc.) during its doing commit job no matter if AM attempts reach to the maximum attempts. In this improvement, we add a new API isCommitJobRepeatable() to OutputCommitter interface which to indicate if job's committer can do commitJob again if previous commit work is interrupted by NM/AM failures, etc. The instance of OutputCommitter, which support repeatable job commit (like FileOutputCommitter in algorithm 2), can allow AM to continue the commitJob() after AM restart as a new attempt.
This fix includes public method interface change. A follow-up jira for this incompatibly for branch-2.7 is HADOOP-13579.
Made CanBuffer interface public for use in client applications.
Added New compression levels for GzipCodec that can be set in zlib.compress.level
Two recommendations for the mapreduce.jobhistory.loadedtasks.cache.size property: 1) For every 100k of cache size, set the heap size of the Job History Server to 1.2GB. For example, mapreduce.jobhistory.loadedtasks.cache.size=500000, heap size=6GB. 2) Make sure that the cache size is larger than the number of tasks required for the largest job run on the cluster. It might be a good idea to set the value slightly higher (say, 20%) in order to allow for job size growth.
WARNING: No release note provided for this change.
Backport the fix to 2.7 and 2.8

Tutorial : Computing Lyman-alpha escape fractions¶
In this tutorial you will, hopefully, learn how to compute Lyman-alpha escape fractions with zELDA. Note that this part of the code compres directly from FLaREON ( https://github.com/sidgurun/FLaREON , Gurung-lopez et al. 2019b).
Default computation of escape fractions¶
Let’s move to one of the most powerful products of FLaREON: predicting huge amounts of Lyman alpha escape fractions.
In theory only one line is needed to predict the escape fraction for a thin shell geometry with expasion velocity (V) of 200km/s, logarithmic of column density (log NH) of 19.5 and dust optical depth (ta) of 0.1 :
f_esc_Arr = Lya.RT_f_esc( 'Thin_Shell' , [ 200 ] , [ 19.5 ] , [ 0.1 ] )
In this way f_esc_Arr is an Array of 1 dimension and length 1 that contains the predicted escape fraction for this configuration.
However, zELDA implements several gas geometries and is optimized to obtain large amount of escape fractions with only one line of code, so lets expand this a l ittle bit more. If we want to compute the escape fraction in a thin shell outflow with the configurations { V , logNH , ta } , { 200 , 19.5 , 0.1 }, { 300 , 20.0 , 0.01 } and { 400 , 20.5 , 0.001 } we could do
>>> Geometry = 'Thin Shell'
>>> # Other options: 'Galactic Wind' or 'Bicone_X_Slab_In' or 'Bicone_X_Slab_Out'
>>> # Expansion velocity array in km/s
>>> V_Arr = [ 200 , 300 , 400 ]
>>> # Logarithmic of column densities array in cm**-2
>>> logNH_Arr = [ 19.5 , 20.0 , 20.5 ]
>>> # Dust optical depth Array
>>> ta_Arr = [ 0.1 , 0.01 , 0.001 ]
Where Geometry indicates the gas disitrubitons that is being used. ‘Bicone_X_Slab_In’ indicates the bicone geometry look through the outflow, while ‘Bicone_X_Slab_In’ is looking through the optically thick gas. The ‘Thin_Shell_Cont’ model does not support escape fractions yet.
Now let’s compute the escape fraction for this configuraitons:
>>> f_esc_Arr = Lya.RT_f_esc( Geometry , V_Arr , logNH_Arr , ta_Arr )
The variable f_esc_Arr is an Array of 1 dimension and length 3 that encloses the escape fractions for the configurations. In particular f_esc_Arr[i] is computed using V_Arr[i] , logNH_Arr[i] and ta_Arr[i].
Deeper options on predicting the escape fraction¶
There are many algorithims implemented to compute f_esc_Arr. By default FLaREON uses a machine learning decision tree regressor and a parametric equation for th e escape fraction as function of the dust optical depth (Go to the FLaREON presentation paper Gurung-Lopez et al. in prep for more information). These settings we re chosen as default since they give the best performance. However the user might want to change the computing algorithm so here leave a guide with all the availabl e options.
MODE variable refers to mode in which the escape fraction is computed. There are 3 ways in which FLaREON can compute this. i) ‘Raw’ Using the raw data from the RTMC (Orsi et al. 2012). ii) ‘Parametrization’ Assume a parametric equation between the escape fraction and the dust optical depth that allows to extend calcu lations outside the grid with the highest accuracy (in FLaREON). iii) ‘Analytic’ Use of the recalibrated analytic equations presented by Gurung-Lopez et al. 201 8. Note that the analytic mode is not enabled in the bicone geometry although it is in the ‘Thin_Shel’ and ‘Galactic_Wind’
Algorithm varible determines the technique used. This can be i) ‘Intrepolation’: lineal interpoation is used. ii) ‘Machine_Learning’ machine learning is us ed. To determine which machine learning algorithm you would like to use please, provide the variable Machine_Learning_Algorithm. The machine learning algorithms i mplemented are Decision tree regressor (‘Tree’), Random forest regressor (‘Forest’) and KN regressor (‘KN’). The machine learning is implemented by Sci-kit-learn, please, visit their webside for more information (http://scikit-learn.org/stable/).
Finally, any combination of MODE , Algorithm and Machine_Learning_Algorithm is allowed. However, note that the variable Machine_Learning_Algorithm is useles s if Algorithm=’Intrepolation’.

Abstract: This paper introduces adaptor grammars, a class of probabilistic models of language that generalize probabilistic context-free grammars (PCFGs). Adaptor grammars augment the probabilistic rules of PCFGs with “adaptors” that can induce dependencies among successive uses. With a particular choice of adaptor, based on the Pitman-Yor process, nonparametric Bayesian models of language using Dirichlet processes and hierarchical Dirichlet processes can be written as simple grammars. We present a general-purpose inference algorithm for adaptor grammars, making it easy to deﬁne and use such models, and illustrate how several existing nonparametric Bayesian models can be expressed within this framework. 1

The author selected the Electronic Frontier Foundation Inc to receive a donation as part of the Write for DOnations program.
DNSControl is an infrastructure-as-code tool that allows you to deploy and manage your DNS zones using standard software development principles, including version control, testing, and automated deployment. DNSControl was created by Stack Exchange and is written in Go.
Using DNSControl eliminates many of the pitfalls of manual DNS management, as zone files are stored in a programmable format. This allows you to deploy zones to multiple DNS providers simultaneously, identify syntax errors, and push out your DNS configuration automatically, reducing the risk of human error. Another common usage of DNSControl is to quickly migrate your DNS to a different provider; for example, in the event of a DDoS attack or system outage.
In this tutorial, you’ll install and configure DNSControl, create a basic DNS configuration, and begin deploying DNS records to a live provider. As part of this tutorial, we will use DigitalOcean as the example DNS provider. If you wish to use a different provider, the setup is very similar. When you’re finished, you’ll be able to manage and test your DNS configuration in a safe, offline environment, and then automatically deploy it to production.
Before you begin this guide you’ll need the following:
your-server-ipv4-address
refers to the IP address of the server where you’re hosting your website or domain. your-server-ipv6-address
refers to the IPv6 address of the server where you’re hosting your website or domain.your_domain
throughout and DigitalOcean as the service provider.Once you have these ready, log in to your server as your non-root user to begin.
DNSControl is written in Go, so you’ll start this step by installing Go to your server and setting your GOPATH
.
Go is available within Debian’s default software repositories, making it possible to install using conventional package management tools.
You’ll also need to install Git, as this is required to allow Go to download and install the DNSControl software from it’s repository on GitHub.
Begin by updating the local package index to reflect any new upstream changes:
- sudo apt update
Then, install the golang-go
and git
packages:
- sudo apt install golang-go git
After confirming the installation, apt
will download and install Go and Git, as well as all of their required dependencies.
Next, you’ll configure the required path environment variables for Go. If you would like to know more about this, you can read this tutorial on Understanding the GOPATH. Start by editing the ~/.profile
file:
- nano ~/.profile
Add the following lines to the very end of your file:
...
export GOPATH="$HOME/go"
export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin"
Once you have added these lines to the bottom of the file, save and close it. Then reload your profile by either logging out and back in, or sourcing the file again:
- source ~/.profile
Now you’ve installed and configured Go, you can install DNSControl.
The go get
command can be used to fetch a copy of the code, automatically compile it, and install it into your Go directory:
- go get github.com/StackExchange/dnscontrol
Once this is complete, you can check the installed version to make sure that everything is working:
- dnscontrol version
Your output will look similar to the following:
Outputdnscontrol 2.9-dev
If you see a dnscontrol: command not found
error, double-check your Go path setup.
Now that you’ve installed DNSControl, you can create a configuration directory and connect DNSControl to your DNS provider in order to allow it to make changes to your DNS records.
In this step, you’ll create the required configuration directories for DNSControl, and connect it to your DNS provider so that it can begin to make live changes to your DNS records.
Firstly, create a new directory in which you can store your DNSControl configuration, and then move into it:
- mkdir ~/dnscontrol
- cd ~/dnscontrol
Note: This tutorial will focus on the initial set up of DNSControl; however for production use it is recommended to store your DNSControl configuration in a version control system (VCS) such as Git. The advantages of this include full version control, integration with CI/CD for testing, seamlessly rolling-back deployments, and so on.
If you plan to use DNSControl to write BIND zone files, you should also create the zones
directory:
- mkdir ~/dnscontrol/zones
BIND zone files are a raw, standardized method for storing DNS zones/records in plain text format. They were originally used for the BIND DNS server software, but are now widely adopted as the standard method for storing DNS zones. BIND zone files produced by DNSControl are useful if you want to import them to a custom or self-hosted DNS server, or for auditing purposes.
However, if you just want to use DNSControl to push DNS changes to a managed provider, the zones
directory will not be needed.
Next, you need to configure the creds.json
file, which is what will allow DNSControl to authenticate to your DNS provider and make changes. The format of creds.json
differs slightly depending on the DNS provider that you are using. Please see the Service Providers list in the official DNSControl documentation to find the configuration for your own provider.
Create the file creds.json
in the ~/dnscontrol
directory:
- cd ~/dnscontrol
- nano creds.json
Add the sample creds.json
configuration for your DNS provider to the file. If you’re using DigitalOcean as your DNS provider, you can use the following:
{
"digitalocean": {
"token": "your-digitalocean-oauth-token"
}
}
This file tells DNSControl to which DNS providers you want it to connect.
You’ll need to provide some form of authentication for your DNS provider. This is usually an API key or OAuth token, but some providers require extra information, as documented in the Service Providers list in the official DNSControl documentation.
Warning: This token will grant access to your DNS provider account, so you should protect it as you would a password. Also, ensure that if you’re using a version control system, either the file containing the token is excluded (e.g. using .gitignore
), or is securely encrypted in some way.
If you’re using DigitalOcean as your DNS provider, you can use the required OAuth token in your DigitalOcean account settings that you generated as part of the prerequisites.
If you have multiple different DNS providers—for example, for multiple domain names, or delegated DNS zones—you can define these all in the same creds.json
file.
You’ve set up the initial DNSControl configuration directories, and configured creds.json
to allow DNSControl to authenticate to your DNS provider and make changes. Next you’ll create the configuration for your DNS zones.
In this step, you’ll create an initial DNS configuration file, which will contain the DNS records for your domain name or delegated DNS zone.
dnsconfig.js
is the main DNS configuration file for DNSControl. In this file, DNS zones and their corresponding records are defined using JavaScript syntax. This is known as a DSL, or Domain Specific Language. The JavaScript DSL page in the official DNSControl documentation provides further details.
To begin, create the DNS configuration file in the ~/dnscontrol
directory:
- cd ~/dnscontrol
- nano dnsconfig.js
Then, add the following sample configuration to the file:
// Providers:
var REG_NONE = NewRegistrar('none', 'NONE');
var DNS_DIGITALOCEAN = NewDnsProvider('digitalocean', 'DIGITALOCEAN');
// Domains:
D('your_domain', REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DNS_DIGITALOCEAN),
A('@', 'your-server-ipv4-address')
);
This sample file defines a domain name or DNS zone at a particular provider, which in this case is your_domain
hosted by DigitalOcean. An example A
record is also defined for the zone root (@
), pointing to the IPv4 address of the server that you’re hosting your domain/website on.
There are three main functions that make up a basic DNSControl configuration file:
NewRegistrar(name, type, metadata)
: defines the domain registrar for your domain name. DNSControl can use this to make required changes, such as modifying the authoritative nameservers. If you only want to use DNSControl to manage your DNS zones, this can generally be left as NONE
.
NewDnsProvider(name, type, metadata)
: defines a DNS service provider for your domain name or delegated zone. This is where DNSControl will push the DNS changes that you make.
D(name, registrar, modifiers)
: defines a domain name or delegated DNS zone for DNSControl to manage, as well as the DNS records present in the zone.
You should configure NewRegistrar()
, NewDnsProvider()
, and D()
accordingly using the Service Providers list in the official DNSControl documentation.
If you’re using DigitalOcean as your DNS provider, and only need to be able to make DNS changes (rather than authoritative nameservers as well), the sample in the preceding code block is already correct.
Once complete, save and close the file.
In this step, you set up a DNS configuration file for DNSControl, with the relevant providers defined. Next, you’ll populate the file with some useful DNS records.
Next, you can populate the DNS configuration file with useful DNS records for your website or service, using the DNSControl syntax.
Unlike traditional BIND zone files, where DNS records are written in a raw, line-by-line format, DNS records within DNSControl are defined as a function parameter (domain modifier) to the D()
function, as shown briefly in Step 3.
A domain modifier exists for each of the standard DNS record types, including A
, AAAA
, MX
, TXT
, NS
, CAA
, and so on. A full list of available record types is available in the Domain Modifiers section of the DNSControl documentation.
Modifiers for individual records are also available (record modifiers). Currently these are primarily used for setting the TTL (time to live) of individual records. A full list of available record modifiers is available in the Record Modifiers section of the DNSControl documentation. Record modifiers are optional, and in most basic use cases can be left out.
The syntax for setting DNS records varies slightly for each record type. Following are some examples for the most common record types:
A
records:
A('name', 'address', optional record modifiers)
A('@', 'your-server-ipv4-address', TTL(30))
AAAA
records:

In order to begin adding DNS records for your domain or delegated DNS zone, edit your DNS configuration file:
- nano dnsconfig.js
Next, you can begin populating the parameters for the existing D()
function using the syntax described in the previous list, as well as the Domain Modifiers section of the official DNSControl documentation. A comma (,
) must be used in-between each record.
For reference, the code block here contains a full sample configuration for a basic, initial DNS setup:
...
D('your_domain', REG_NONE, DnsProvider(DNS_DIGITALOCEAN),
A('@', 'your-server-ipv4-address'),
A('www', 'your-server-ipv4-address'),
A('mail', 'your-server-ipv4-address'),
AAAA('@', 'your-server-ipv6-address'),
AAAA('www', 'your-server-ipv6-address'),
AAAA('mail', 'your-server-ipv6-address'),
MX('@', 10, 'mail.your_domain.'),
TXT('@', 'v=spf1 -all'),
TXT('_dmarc', 'v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:abuse@your_domain; aspf=s; adkim=s;')
);
Once you have completed your initial DNS configuration, save and close the file.
In this step, you set up the initial DNS configuration file, containing your DNS records. Next, you will test the configuration and deploy it.
In this step, you will run a local syntax check on your DNS configuration, and then deploy the changes to the live DNS server/provider.
Firstly, move into your dnscontrol
directory:
- cd ~/dnscontrol
Next, use the preview
function of DNSControl to check the syntax of your file, and output what changes it will make (without actually making them):
- dnscontrol preview
If the syntax of your DNS configuration file is correct, DNSControl will output an overview of the changes that it will make. This should look similar to the following:
Output******************** Domain: your_domain
----- Getting nameservers from: digitalocean
----- DNS Provider: digitalocean...8 corrections
#1: CREATE A your_domain your-server-ipv4-address ttl=300
#2: CREATE A www.your_domain your-server-ipv4-address ttl=300
#3: CREATE A mail.your_domain your-server-ipv4-address ttl=300
#4: CREATE AAAA your_domain your-server-ipv6-address ttl=300
#5: CREATE TXT _dmarc.your_domain "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:abuse@your_domain; aspf=s; adkim=s;" ttl=300
#6: CREATE AAAA www.your_domain your-server-ipv6-address ttl=300
#7: CREATE AAAA mail.your_domain your-server-ipv6-address ttl=300
#8: CREATE MX your_domain 10 mail.your_domain. ttl=300
----- Registrar: none...0 corrections
Done. 8 corrections.
If you see an error warning in your output, DNSControl will provide details on what and where the error is located within your file.
Warning: The next command will make live changes to your DNS records and possibly other settings. Please ensure that you are prepared for this, including taking a backup of your existing DNS configuration, as well as ensuring that you have the means to roll back if needed.
Finally, you can push out the changes to your live DNS provider:
- dnscontrol push
You’ll see an output similar to the following:
Output******************** Domain: your_domain
----- Getting nameservers from: digitalocean
----- DNS Provider: digitalocean...8 corrections
#1: CREATE TXT _dmarc.your_domain "v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:abuse@your_domain; aspf=s; adkim=s;" ttl=300
SUCCESS!
#2: CREATE A your_domain your-server-ipv4-address ttl=300

#3: CREATE AAAA your_domain your-server-ipv6-address ttl=300

#8: CREATE MX your_domain 10 mail.your_domain. ttl=300
SUCCESS!
----- Registrar: none...0 corrections
Done. 8 corrections.
Now, if you check the DNS settings for your domain in the DigitalOcean control panel, you’ll see the changes.
You can also check the record creation by running a DNS query for your domain/delegated zone using dig
.
If you don’t have dig
installed, you’ll need to install the dnsutils
package:
- sudo apt install dnsutils
Once you’ve installed dig
, you can use it to make a DNS lookup for your domain. You’ll see that the records have been updated accordingly:
- dig +short your_domain
You’ll see output showing the IP address and relevant DNS record from your zone that was deployed using DNSControl. DNS records can take some time to propagate, so you may need to wait and run this command again.
In this final step, you ran a local syntax check of the DNS configuration file, then deployed it to your live DNS provider, and tested that the changes were made successfully.
In this article you set up DNSControl and deployed a DNS configuration to a live provider. Now you can manage and test your DNS configuration changes in a safe, offline environment before deploying them to production.
If you wish to explore this subject further, DNSControl is designed to be integrated into your CI/CD pipeline, allowing you to run in-depth tests and have more control over your deployment to production. You could also look into integrating DNSControl into your infrastructure build/deployment processes, allowing you to deploy servers and add them to DNS completely automatically.
If you wish to go further with DNSControl, the following DigitalOcean articles provide some interesting next steps to help integrate DNSControl into your change management and infrastructure deployment workflows:

IMPORTANT: When adding a new class (or property, or any other item with an identifier), it is very important that the id is generated correctly! See How ID Generation Works for a discussion of how to make sure your new item will have the id you want. In particular, make sure to select the correct ID profile before adding terms.
New classes and properties can be added from the right-click menu or the edit menu. There is no way to create a new class or property using drag-and-drop. Newly created terms are given a default name, and may be given a default definition and definition dbxrefs if a "personal definition" has been specified in the Configuration Plugin .
Works by: Edit menu, right-click
Hot keys: None
Source requirements: No sources required
Target requirement: No target required
To add a new root, choose "Add root" from the edit menu or the right-click menu. A flyout menu will appear:
To add a new root class, choose "Add root". An id will be assigned automatically using the current id assignment rules.
To add a new property, choose "Add type root". A popup window will appear where you can type in the id for the new property.
Works by: Edit menu, right-click

Red Light |
| Red Light |
Red Light is a jeopardy chip/card game by Todd Neller based on the Gamewright jeopardy card game Fowl Play which is, in turn, based on the folk jeopardy dice game Pig.
The two-player version introduced here can be played with 4 red poker chips (“red lights”), 24 green poker chips (“green lights”), and a bag or container that allows players to shufﬂe and randomly draw concealed chips. One can also play the game with standard playing cards using the Ace through 7 of each suit and having the 4 Aces and 24 other cards representing red and green lights, respectively.
The object of the two-player game is to be the first player to reach 50 points. The non-starting player begins with 1 point.
One a player's turn, the player draws one or more chips. If the drawn chip is a green light, the player sets it aside in a “turn total” pile. After drawing, the player then decides whether to draw again or hold. If the player holds, the number of green lights in the turn total pile are scored, the chips are placed in a discard pile, and play passes to the next player. If the drawn chip is a red light, the player scores nothing for the turn, places all chips in the discard pile, and play passes to the next player. If the red chip was the last, fourth red light, all discarded chips are returned to the bag or container and shufﬂed before the next turn.
Note: The number of red and green chips for Red Light was chosen by varying the number of chips in play, analyzing the game, and optimizing komi (i.e. compensation points). We found an extraordinarily good approximation of a fair game for 4 red and 24 green chips with a komi of 1, deviating from a fair win probability by 0.00001. With larger numbers of total chips, the game length shortens, and the ideal komi increases. We have opted for smaller numbers of chips (< 50) in our design because poker chips are often sold in units of 25 or 50. For more details, see the analysis in this research article:
| Red Light Race |
In the fall of 2013, Gettysburg College Computer Science 112 students (Michael Booz, John Duncan, Jeff Kohart, Edward Makinde, and Steven Semmel), Prof. Todd Neller, and Marcin Malec '13 created an Android app called "Red Light Race" for the two-player game described above.
Game play tips:
Our goal was to create a human versus computer game version with a racing theme that featured:
Optimal play of the game was computed by Todd Neller, but a memory-efficient artificial neural network that closely approximates optimal play was trained from this optimal play by Marcin Malec. Your smartphones have Marcin to thank for packing high-quality play in a low memory footprint. The total number of possible non-end-game situations in this 2-player Red Light game is 6,375,000. Marcin's neural network boils decision making down to a mere 118 numbers (i.e. about 0.002% of the memory cost) while performing within 1% of the optimal win rate.

All simulations were conducted using the Axelrod Python library. There are over one hundred strategies in the library. I selected the strategies for this project that I thought gave a best sampling of the variety of strategies. The strategies vary in complexity.


Cultural Blog - Week9
I did not ask many question on Google+. I did ask some questions during week one with the setup. I thought my questions were clear, it's just that I have been using a pc, and no one else that replied had been doing the same. It made a little difficult for them to understand my problem and for me to understand their solution. Ultimately, though I like the ability to ask questions on the google+ site, I did not like the varied amounts of time that I could receive a response. When I start working on a project, I like to get through a problem I'm having right away. I find that if I could not find answers through google search, stack overflow, w3 schools, or other sites, then I would just take a shot-gun trial and error approach to get things working. It's not super efficient, but when you log on when no one is online and you want a quick answer it's often the only way to do anything

Simple use: a set of images sources for different resolutions. The above image will load automatically.
<img ng-imago default="http://www.placehold.it/320x100&text=default,http://www.placehold.it/320x200&text=default-@2x" small="http://www.placehold.it/320x100&text=small,http://www.placehold.it/320x200&text=small-@2x" medium="http://www.placehold.it/420x100&text=medium,http://www.placehold.it/420x200&text=medium-@2x" large="http://www.placehold.it/620x100&text=large,http://www.placehold.it/420x200&text=large-@2x" xlarge="http://www.placehold.it/720x100&text=xlarge,http://www.placehold.it/720x200&text=xlarge-@2x" medium-portrait="http://www.placehold.it/420x100&text=medium-portrait" />
Pass a JSON object to override the default options of the module (see Defaults).
You can naturally use bindable templates like small="{{url_small}}"

Setting the queue-index with a number will cause the image to be loaded after all the images having lower queue-index (or the ones without queue-index). The image above will be loaded after the previous two

You can choose not to load the image automatically with
auto-load="false". You will have to explicit change the attribute or load image via ngImagoService function (see Code -> Loading manually).
Since you should load the images manually, you can set a
load-group="NAME_OF_THE_GROUP"attribute to load all the imges of that group.

You can load an image by the id. Notice that you can also pass the url within a ng template.

You can load an image by the queue-index (if auto-load=false).

You can load an image previously settes with auto-load="false" changing the auto-load attribute's value.

You can load an image by the class name.

To resize the image to his parent, you can use another directive called "imago-resize" passing some options.
If the image has a position absolute or fixed, it will be moved with top an left, otherwise with 'margin-top' and 'margin-left'.

You can set the directive also in a DIV tag. The module will attach the image to its background-image CSS style.
In this way you can queue also background images that usually are loaded immediately when the CSS is used in the markup.
You can also use the directive itself as an element.

ENDO PAIN
Hayley McQueen was found passed out on floor of Sky Sports loos due to excruciating endometriosis period pains
by Jennifer HaleTV presenter Hayley McQueen was found passed out on the floor of the Sky Sports studio toilets after agonising period pains.
The new mum, 39, told how her battle with chronic condition endometriosis saw her faint minutes before going on air.
Hayley wasn’t diagnosed with endometriosis until she was 36 - after two decades of being told by doctors she had everything from just bad periods to constipation and IBS.
Endometriosis caused when cells like the ones in the lining of the womb are found elsewhere in the body.
But instead of leaving the body as a period the blood has no way to escape leading to inflammation, pain and formation of scar tissue - which can eventually cause infertility.
One frightening episode saw her passed out in the Sky Sports studio ahead of going on air.
She said: “The episodes I’ve had have been quite bad at Sky- I’ve not been able to go on air before.
“I remember coming into work and I was white as a ghost and I felt terrible.
“I had really horrific cramps and I’d wandered off to the toilet and then passed out.
“I was just lying there on the floor, in an increasing amount of pain.
“One of the makeup ladies came in and put a towel on my head and helped look after me and calmed me down.
“They didn’t know what was wrong with me.
“It was my female boss at the time who basically came in and put me in a taxi and sent me home.”
The episodes were so severe she later found herself worrying if a Scottish matchday coincides with the day she was due to start her period.
She added: “I used to get nervous, thinking - if I have one of these episodes I can’t even pull myself off the bathroom floor let alone sit in a chair and broadcast live.
#endoperiodstigma
The Scottish Sun Online has teamed up with Endometriosis UK to raise awareness of endometriosis, a chronic and debilitating condition that causes painful periods and affects one in 10 UK women.
The campaign will run on The Scottish Sun website until March 2020 -Endometriosis Awareness Month - and will tell the stories of women living with endo.
News Scotland, which includes The Scottish Sun, The Times Scotland and The Sunday Times Scotland, is also delighted to announce it has become the second official Endometriosis Friendly Employer in the UK.
By March we hope to have signed up 100 new businesses - read how easy it is to do so here and join us!
Follow the campaign at www.thescottishsun.co.uk/endo and join in the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
“You’re outside of a football stadium and not in a studio where another presenter can just quickly step in.”
She was in her final year of school when she first started having debilitating periods, which she later went on to describe as having an “episode”.
She said: “I’ve got a scar underneath my eye where I passed out at home and smashed my face against the edging of the sink unit in the middle of the night at my parents’.
Celebrities with endometriosis: Here’s 11 famous women battling the excruciating condition in the public eye
“Within the night I was in so much pain that I fainted from it, smashed my face open, couldn’t then get off the floor because I was faint, passed out again and hit my head against the floor.
“I literally crawled into my parents’ room in the middle of the night.
“I think they thought somebody had come through the window and attacked me!
“I was in such a state I couldn’t even explain what had gone on.
“That was one of the first, real, severe bouts of it and when I went to the doctors they told me I was just light-headed in the night and it was probably constipation.
“I got my period the day after that.
“Never in a million years did I think oh, could that have led to it.
“So that was obviously the start of it and then it was on and off all throughout my 20s.”
Hayley's endometriosis battle left her fearing she would never be able to have kids.
What are the symptoms of endometriosis?
There are many different symptoms of endometriosis and they can vary in intensity. Some women with endometriosis will have no symptoms at all.
The most common symptoms are:
- Painful periods
- Painful sex
- Infertility
- Painful bowel movements
- Fatigue
Other symptoms include:
- Lethargy
- Nausea
- Extreme tiredness
- Depression
- Frequent infections such as thrush
- Feeling faint/fainting during periods

She and model fiance Kirk Newmann, 38, were about to start IVF when she fell pregnant with baby Ayla, now six weeks old.
The beaming new mum said: “I went through a really hard time but I got my miracle baby.”
But when Hayley — the daughter of Scotland footie legend Gordon McQueen — did get pregnant, she was plagued with worry over fears that she would lose her baby.
She explained: “When I first found out that I was expecting all I was worried about was having an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage because of endometriosis.
“I just could not quite believe that I was pregnant.
“I felt like something was going to happen — something was going to go wrong and that it wasn’t going to carry on through.
“It took me until about 16 weeks on before I announced it officially.”
When I first found out that I was expecting all I was worried about was having an ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage because of endometriosis.Hayley McQueen
Hayley, who was raised in Scotland but now lives in Buckinghamshire, is supporting the Scottish Sun Online's Endo Period Stigma campaign.
She said: “I’m 100 per cent behind the campaign.
"I think it’s really important to raise awareness.
“Not even those who suffer from the condition know much about it or feel like they can speak openly about it.
“If there is a pain affecting your everyday life in the run-up to your period, then go and get it checked out.
“If you think it might be endometriosis, then just go and ask.
“I was very lucky that it didn’t make me infertile — but it has for lots of people."

By providing your electronic signature below, you are confirming your understanding of Charter Communications' Spectrum Voice E911 service.
Spectrum Voice service does not have its own power supply. If there is a power outage or a disruption to the cable network, Spectrum Voice service will not work. In such cases it will not be possible to place or receive calls and your modem will not work.
The emergency provider handling the 911 call, and the address the emergency provider will see, are linked to your service address on file with Charter. Spectrum Voice equipment must not be moved to a new address without first contacting us with the new location. If it is relocated, and you dial 911, you will need to provide your address to the 911 operator or 911 calls may be misdirected to the wrong location or wrong emergency provider. During the first 72 hours after initiating service or advising us of an address change, if you dial 911, you must relay the new service address to the emergency operator.
This is necessary to ensure emergency services are dispatched to your new service address because the emergency operator may not have the new service address in their records.
In some locations, depending on the equipment used by local governments to provide 911 service, you will always need to convey the 911 service location information to the emergency operator.
By clicking on "I agree" below, you acknowledge that you have received and understand this information.

This method appears to complex. This is generally a problem of the semantic distance between what it does and how it does it.
In other words, it is difficult to understand the purpose of the method due to too many implementation details.
To resolve this problem, try extracting parts of this method such as loops and/or if-statements into their own subroutines.

Scale up the size of these delicate petits fours to make pretty summer desserts.
Preheat the oven to the lowest temperature and put the shelf at the bottom of the oven. Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper and draw 12 x 5cm/2in circles onto the paper, leaving at least 2cm/¾in between them.
For the meringue, whisk the egg whites and lemon juice in a bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually whisk in the sugar until fully incorporated, then continue to whisk until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed.
Spoon the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a small star nozzle and pipe nests onto the baking trays using the circles to guide you.
Bake for 1½-2 hours or until the meringues lift off the greaseproof paper easily; they should not be coloured. Set aside to cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, for the mousse, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. In a separate bowl, whisk the double cream to stiff peaks and fold in the icing sugar.
Blend the strawberries in a food processor and pass through a fine sieve.
 Heat gently, stirring until the gelatine has dissolved. Leave to cool a little then mix in the remaining strawberry purée and fold into the double cream. Fold this mixture into the egg whites, then cover with cling film and chill in the fridge.
To assemble, spoon the mousse in a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle. Pipe the mousse into the meringue nests and top with a halved strawberry, cut-side up.

I like the median absolute error best, because it tells me how many passengers my prediction is typically away from the true prediction.
Please note that bad results here do not mean the regressor is bad. Some might just use their full potential with more data, some might be better suited to different regression problems, e.g. interpolation instead of extrapolation or working with higher dimensional data.
Graphs
Plotting the prediction is crucial for extrapolation. What we can see in those images is that there are two things to match: A global trend and local seasonality-effects. To make it easier to digest, I already put them in the table. Just click on them to see them in full size:
Seeing this result, I decided to have two models: One which predicts the trend and one which predicts seasonality effects.
Combining models
The simplest way to combine two regression models is by
But I also want to simpify the training. So I decided to have the following training setup:
- Fit \(f_1\) on the training dataset, where \(f_1\) has to predict the global trend and thus solve the extrapolation problem. Lasso seems to be a good choice.
- Transform the training data \((X, y)\): $$y' = y - f_1(X)$$
- Fit \(f_2\) on \((X, y')\). So \(f_2\) has to solve an interpolation problem.
I call this model TrendSeasonRegressor
. Let's try a few combinations:
| $f_1$ | $f_2$ | MAE | MAD | $R^2$ | explained variance | MSE | Image |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GradientBoostingRegressor | 40.0 | 31.0 | 0.5689 | 0.6246 | 2631.9 | ||
| Linear Regression | ExtraTrees | 19.1 | 14.5 | 0.8958 | 0.9096 | 636.1 | |
| Lasso | ExtraTrees | 20.8 | 16.6 | 0.8803 | 0.8992 | 730.9 | |
| ElasticNet | ExtraTrees | 25.2 | 24.4 | 0.8382 | 0.8403 | 988.0 | |
| LinearSVR | ExtraTrees | 36.4 | 31.1 | 0.6841 | 0.7081 | 1928.2 | |
| LinearSVR | Adaboost | 33.7 | 32.6 | 0.6918 | 0.7849 | 1881.5 | |
| Lasso | Adaboost | 26.5 | 18.9 | 0.8034 | 0.8143 | 1200.4 | |
| ElasticNet | Adaboost | 26.5 | 19.4 | 0.8098 | 0.8229 | 1161.2 |
This looks a lot better! Note how the best model before is now the worst!
However, even with this combination the Gaussian Processes were really bad.
Next thing to improve: The scaling of the the seasonal trend is not captured so far.
Another idea I want to dig into is that of residual learning. Where I have only
one model learning the residual of another model, you can chain arbitary many.
The ResidualRegressor
is a meta-regressor. If it is given one model, it
behaves exactly like that model. If it is given two models, then it behaves
exactly like the TrendSeasonRegressor
.
Sadly, for the given data and the models I've tried, three models behaved not
better than two in the ResidualRegressor
.
Human Performance
An interesting excercise is to get a human baseline. This gives you some insights in how good the models are.

Circular Features
Having the month as a single feature with values from 1 to 12 seems not to be
the best choice. Either a one-hot encoding or a circular encoding (two features
with the trigonometric functions sin
and cos
) seem to be the better choice.
Using the circular encoding was interesting. It made the prediction to get "bumps":
However, both encodings did not yield better results than the simple integer encoding of a month for this dataset and all tried regressors.
TODOs
- Make a hand-crafted model
- Get a human baseline
- Make a neural network model
Learnings
The following should have become clear from reading this blog post:
- L1: SGDRegressor without scaling is crazy bad.
- L2: Without hyperparameter optimization (e.g. twiddling), SVR is shitty.
- L3: Without scaling, linear SVR runs many hours for training. On a dataset with 3 features and less than 150 data points.
- L4: Visualizations are powerful for model evaluation and improvement in low-dimensional regression problems.


Technical blog from Craig Russell.
If you are using Timber to log in your Android app you should be careful about logging variables you don’t fully control. If the input is formatted in a certain way, your app can crash.
Timber.w("The URL is %s - visited $count times", url)
Timber.w("The URL is $url - visited %d times", count)
One of these will log a URL quite happily, while the other could crash your app at runtime.
When using Timber
and Kotlin
, you can use Kotlin String Templates to inject variables into your log statements or you can use the standard Timber parameter formatting.
Timber.w("#1 - The URL is %s", url)
Timber.w("#2 - The URL is $url")
⚠ You are advised to use only the Timber parameter formatting style.
When you try to mix both styles things can go wrong, as is detailed below. But even if you keep your style consistent the Timber approach has an advantage; lazy string concatenation. Timber will only build your parameters into a string for logging if the log will be used (if there is a logging tree configured).
If you use the Kotlin string template approach, those strings will always be built even if logging isn’t enabled for that particular build of your app.
I added some debug-only log statements to log the URL
s a WebView
was visiting to help track down a problem I was facing. I visited a few sites and all was fine. And then I visited another site and my app crashed. 😱
In my examples below, I use Timber
, however, the problem really happens in the calls to String.format(String message, Object... args
).
In all the examples below, I am using the same URL: example.com/%2F
Although this looks contrived, it’s just a simplified example of one I saw in the wild. %2F
is the code for a URL-encoded /
(forward slash).
Ultimately, this is the problem. %2F
itself is a string format placeholder. This is using an explicit index to specify that you will provide a float in the second parameter.
// one variable
Timber.w("#1 - The URL is %s", url)
Timber.w("#2 - The URL is $url")
// two variables - both given in same style
Timber.w("#3 - The URL is %s - visited %d times", url, count)
Timber.w("#4 - The URL is $url - visited $count times")
// two variables - mixing and matching styles
Timber.w("#5 - The URL is %s - visited $count times", url)
Timber.w("#6 - The URL is $url - visited %d times", count)
All 6 of these statements look like they will work at first glance. However, one will crash; one will work even though Lint
will show it as an error; leaving the other 4 to work as expected.
Timber.w("#1 - The URL is %s", url)
This is fine; using the standard Timber
mechanism for formatting strings.
Timber.w("#2 - The URL is $url")
This is using Kotlin’s String Templates which will handle replacing the $url
with the variable. This works as expected; nothing to see here.
Timber.w(“#3 — The URL is %s — visited %d times”, url, count)
We’re providing two variables here, one string and one int and providing both in the standard Timber
manner.
Timber.w(“#4 — The URL is $url — visited $count times”)
As above, two parameters. This time we’re using Kotlin string templates to provide the substitutions.
Timber.w(“#5 — The URL is %s — visited $count times”, url)
We’re providing two parameters again, but this time mixing the style between standard Timber
and Kotlin String Templates
.  The lint check is giving me an error here that I’ve provided the wrong number of arguments. But there is only one %s
and one argument is provided so there should be no lint error here at all.
Despite the red squigglies, this runs fine. By the time it gets to the String.format
method, the message parameter is
#5 — The URL is %s — visited 4 times
Here, the count value has already been substituted, but the URL has not.
Timber.w(“#6 — The URL is $url — visited %d times”, count)
Same as #5 above, except we’ve switched it so that $url
is provided as a Kotlin String Template
and %d
is provided using the standard Timber
arguments for passing an int.
This time, lint is perfectly happy with this line but it crashes when given our URL example.com/%2F
.
This time, when it gets to the String.format
line, the message is:
#6 — The URL is http://example.com/%2F — visited %d times
The URL has been substituted in place but the count has not. This now means it expects two parameters to be provided as arguments to the format method: %2F
and %d
. However, we only satisfy one of those, and therefore it throws an exception:
java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'F'
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.conversion(Formatter.java:2781)
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifier.<init>(Formatter.java:2811)
at java.util.Formatter$FormatSpecifierParser.<init>(Formatter.java:2624)

at timber.log.Timber$Tree.w(Timber.java:457)
at timber.log.Timber$1.w(Timber.java:296)
at timber.log.Timber.w(Timber.java:68)
It’s fine to use Timber
and Kotlin
together. And while you can technically use either Kotlin string templates or Timber’s standard formatting, use of Timber’s method of providing parameters for logging is preferred as it is more efficient when logging is disabled.
Even if the performance benefit of using Timber’s approach doesn’t bother you and you prefer Kotlin’s, you should never try to mix and match using both approaches.
This is questionable, but won’t crash
Timber.i("%2f")
Even though Timber will helpfully warn you that you haven’t provided the right number of arguments for the given format, nothing will crash. Nothing will crash because Timber will know there are no arguments, and therefore won’t call through to the formatMessage
method.
if (args != null && args.length > 0) {
message = formatMessage(message, args);
}

Dessert bars, or simply bars or squares, are a type of American "bar cookie" that has the texture of a firm cake or softer than usual cookie. They are prepared in a pan and then baked in the oven. They are cut into squares or rectangles. They are staples of bake sales and are often made for birthdays. They are especially popular during the holidays, but many people eat them all year. Every cookie has a Salmon flavour

In your videogame the inventory screen uses the actual in-game 3D model of the item in the inventory display. Makes double-use of the effort and shows off the work. The problem is that by itself and close up the model doesn't look very good. Especially in older games, where it might not even be recognizable.
The solution? Set it spinning!  Have it pulse toward the player for extra spiff.
The spinning inventory item can be split into two types, automatic and manual. Manual spinning is sometimes necessary to examine items for information necessary to progress in the game.
Some games combine both automatic and manual spinning. Allowing the player to stop the rotation by applying reverse spin, or doubling the speed.
Some games may actually use this for a puzzle—you have to spin an item to find something written on it, for example.
Sometimes items may be arranged in a 3D ring which can be rotated to bring different items to the front. Tomb Raider: Anniversary brought this technique back from the original series of games. The individual items may still spin.
There is also a videogame phenomena when dropped items hover a little way above the ground and spin for no adequately explained reason.
Subtrope of Spectacular Spinning.
Examples
- Beyond Good & Evil: Inventory items can be rotated manually. This is important for finishing the game, as the randomly-generated passwords for some safes and doors are written on certain objects.
- Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy does this with your monster book—including the pulsing.
- Lupin III: Treasure of the Sorcerer King has spinning items, and at least one puzzle required you to spin an item to find a code.
- Evie 2018: Some items you pick up in the game can be rotated when you are holding them.
- King's Quest VII. The prerendered 3D models look quite primitive, but at least by rotating them you can find hidden details.
- It's also the only way to get past certain puzzles, and the Good Ending. Good luck ever figuring out that last one, though, since the special fix-everything button on the final item is limited to a single pixel that can only be accessed by turning the item to a specific angle and has no obvious change until you rotate it back around.
- The Journeyman Project. Whenever an inventory item is inspected, there's a higher resolution view of it automatically rotating, sometimes in a general circle, but other times in completely random directions.
- Quest for Glory V included this as part of the franchise's transition to 3D.
- Phantasmagoria has this in a similar manner to the aforementioned King's Quest VII. It's only required to use in one instance: turning the onyx figurine around to present a clickable button, which extends a letter opener from the base.
- Safe Cracker lets you inspect items in your inventory in this manner, showing off the QuickTime VR system of the time.
- Both Aura games have a separate window in your HUD that shows an animation for whatever item your cursor is on.
- Trophies in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Brawl and For 3DS/Wii U spin slowly in your gallery, and can be rotated manually. Ultimate finally did away with the trophies, as the dev team admitted they took a lot of time and space to model for very little pay-off in the end.
- In a similar vein, the 3DS' Street Pass Puzzle Quest allows you to view 3D models of the completed panels as you complete them, including a steadily-rotating scene of Link from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and a "trophy" of Bowser, Mario and Luigi. Weirdly, you can only rotate them manually by a very small amount.
- SoulCalibur 2 had this for the weapons gallery, when you could see them and a short bio piece.
- GoldenEye (1997) for N64
- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes: The logbook.
- Rather than just showing the model of the item, Team Fortress 2's loadout screen lets you spin a model of the character equipping each item.
- Serious Sam has bouncing, spinning items on the ground.
- The Borderlands series lets you get a close up of your gun this way. In fact, the regular menu view isn't even of icons; because Procedural Generation gives so many different guns it actually renders a view of them inside each window.
- In some of the Dynasty Warriors games, you can examine your character models up close and rotate it, as well as switch out the alternate outfits.
- The Attract Mode for Target Terror did this for its powerups, along with some tech specs. In-game they would spin too.
- Armored Core has been doing it from the first game.
- MechWarrior does this in 2, 3, and 4 whenever you're in the MechLab in most cases.
- In 2, you selected your 'Mech this way until you went into the MechLab proper.
- In 3, the 'Mech was always rotating while the torso or limbs would highlight green to roughly indicate what you were working on.
- In 4, your 'Mech rotated by default until you went to modify the weapons and armor in which it would display slots and meters, respectively, over the corresponding limbs.
- Many a Ratchet & Clank game has allowed this:
- Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal does this with trophies. Joystick controls let the spinning be either stopped, or sped up. The trophies can also be spun vertically.
- Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction uses the automatic type by using looping gifs of the weapons spinning.
- Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time was the first in the series to allow you to do it manually, something continued in Into the Nexus.
- Ratchet & Clank (2016) used the automatic + manual variant, with the twist that Ratchet is shown holding the device in question. Helps put them into perspective.
- Tomb Raider: Anniversary does this with relics. Again, joystick controls can affect the spin.
- Lara's inventory is on a ring, which is spun manually to bring different items to the forefront. The items pulse, but do not spin themselves.
- Neo Drift Out shows the Digitized Sprites of the car models spinning around in the Attract Mode (though not when actually selecting the player car).
- Every F-Zero game did this to some extent depending on the game. Mode-7 games would rotate a racing machine when you selected it and then returned to an offset angle when you confirmed the selection. The 3D games would instead rotate the machine that your cursor is highlighting and rotate in the tuning menu before a race began.
- Inventory items in Star Ocean: The Second Story.
- Dropped in the PSP remake, as people would no longer be impressed with spinning 300+ identical swords, bottles of wine, plates of food, etc., and the models wasted a lot of space.
- The Dark Cloud games could present weapons like this for Item Crafting purposes.
- Final Fantasy VIII has a "Scan" ability. Cast "Scan" on an enemy, and you'll get a rotating 3D image of the enemy, along with stats, HP, strengths and weaknesses. Though, knowing their audience, Squaresoft doesn't let you tilt the camera up or down when the target of the spell is a skirted female like Selphie...
- The inventory popups in Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines does this. You can even click-hold and drag to control the item's orientation. This also applies to the character screen, where it can even demonstrate the Jiggle Physics.
- In Skyrim, you can get a good look at the 3D model for any item in your inventory. It particularly comes into play if you need to find the combination that's on the underside of the Dragon Claws. Incidentally, this feature actually debuted in the earlier spin-off Redguard.
- The Continue screen of the original Star Fox game would show off a variety of enemy ships and items, as well as a high-polygon version of the Arwing, on a grid. You could leave them spinning automatically, or control the pitch, yaw, direction, and speed of the rotation. You could even make the models leave after-images (an effect used in-game by the Phantron.)
- The items in the catalog menu in Animal Crossing spin automatically. However, wallpaper, carpet, and paper would appear as still 2D images, at least until later games where they would be spinning 3D models.
- Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise does this in the encyclopedia screen for all the items and seeds. It doesn't do it for the plants and decorations, though, since they're sprites and not polygons.
- Ace Combat:
- The PlayStation 2 games have the camera rotating above/around the planes in the hanger as you mull over just how you want to blow your enemies to kingdom come. Most games also allow you to control the camera.
- Ace Combat 2 was the one that started it for the series. You also got to even view the enemy's paint schemes, as well as enemy exclusive aircraft like bombers and helicopters through it as well.
- Super Power had an especially egregious use: the design screen had spinning models, when there wasn't any other use of 3D in the entire game(units were just symbols on the battle screen).
- Many of the X-Wing series of games had a section where holographic (and fully-spinnable) replicas of Rebel, Imperial, and neutral craft were available to view.
- Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Spin Snake enough in the third one and he'll vomit.
- The Thief series does this.
- Alone in the Dark (1992), the first three games. Very possibly the Ur-example.
- Blame Him: You can pick up objects and rotate them while they are in your inventory.
- Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem had the items set in the pages of a tome but you can examine items and rotate them. It's needed for some of the puzzles.
- Same thing for the original Resident Evil where certain clues were hidden from view until you turned the item around. Particularly annoying that the character wouldn't notice the type of key he just picked up without you physically looking at the other side in the inventory.
- Not so much Spinventory as a shrewd design decision, but the weapons in Red Faction: Guerrilla's multiplayer hover above the ground and spin at a leisurely pace with a neat little shine rather than obey the laws of physics like their single player counterparts. According to the Devs, this was because people couldn't find the damned things amidst the chaos of a world where buildings are made out of polystyrene and biscuits.
- The fifth case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
- Also Apollo Justice Ace Attorney, being that the 5th case of Phoenix Wright was basically a preview of AJ's features.
- The 3-d Grand Theft Auto games would do this with pickups, ranging from cash to heavy weapons.
- Grand Theft Auto IV, on the other hand, averts this trope. All pickups are found laying on the ground or propped against a wall. They are however given a red glow (green for money) on the ground around them to make up for the lost visibility.
- In The Godfather: The Game you can manually spin weapons in a certain menu screen, but only horizontally.
- Weirdly enough, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim introduced the adventure game rotate-item-for-clue variety to the series.
Other
- The Nintendo 3DS main menu. Most menu items either spin like a turntable or rotate slowy. Some of them can be spun real fast by flicking the analog stick or blowing into the microphone. Wonder why the Miis don't fly off in Streetpass Mii Plaza when this happens.
- The collected items in Katamari Damacy.
- Shows and expos displaying new items being introduced to the market are usually placed on a rotating platform to fully display the item at all angles. Similarly, exclusive or popular items sold in stores may be placed on a rotating platform to entice customers to buy it.
- The Price Is Right sometimes displays a small prize like cameras or phones on a spinning platform to show it off at all sides.
- Save files for the PlayStation 2 were displayed as game-relevant 3D models which spun after you selected one; some of them even animated, and would change animations if you selected a file for deletion.
