In this blog we will be going over the concepts known as margin, border & padding inside CSS. The before mentioned names are three of the four elements that make up what's known as a box model.
Here's a quick overview of each section:
- Content - At the core of our box we have the content that is being displayed
- Padding - Provides a transparent space around your content
- Border - defines the edge of your padding & margin
- Margin - defines a transparent space around your border
Put another way the margin controls the space around your element, for example how close you want other elements to be to your border while the padding is defining how much space you want between your content and your border.
Looking at the example below these three layers all wrap around the content in the middle of our box.
Now we’ve got an idea of the box model we can go over each section and how we can work with them.
Padding
As we can see from the image above padding (along with all other parts that make up the box model) wraps around all four sides of your content, this space can be manipulated as whole or you can tager each side individually depending on your needs. Increasing the size of your padding can also increase the size of your element.
Border
Marking the difference between your padding and margin the border by default will not be visible, but with a little bit of css you can bring your border to life and style it in any which way you feel. Take this webpage for example, all the lines you see on this page are just one way you can use borders to help style your work. Just like the other parts of the box model you can make your changes to affect the whole border or like I have on this page only select individual sides to create this framing.
Margin
Lastly we have margins, making up the space on the outside of your border changing the size of your margin is going to push other elements further away or bring them closer. The two below images will give you an idea of how the margin defines the space around its border and how that interacts if you have other elements on your page as well

You have 0 syllables
In the english language a syllable is 1 unit of sound. A syllable joins consonants and vowels. The result are words. Syllables can only have ONE sound and consist of at least one letter. The definition says that they can have more than one vowel and one consonant.
Usually a syllable starts with a vowel sound and it often joins with a consonant. In the english language syllables create meaning. Our syllable counter works like a normal word counter but the difference is that our counter does not count the whole word. The counter divides the word in syllables and counts them together.


One of the most fascinating monuments of the Balkan prehistory are Bronze and Iron Age burial tumuli, many of them used as grave places throughout later history and even until recent times. They represent a perfect example of a cross-border cultural heritage in the Balkans which has yet not been properly assessed in terms of visualization and communication. However, a number of tumuli is not visible on the surface due to destruction and only geophysical screening and intensive surveys can detect them. In the frame of the project, we will focus on large earth made tumuli in northeastern Bosnia that represent one of the earliest monuments of this kind in the region.

MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1994 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Robert DeNiro, Kenneth Branagh, Helena Bonham Carter. Screenplay: Steph Lady and Frank Darabont. Director: Kenneth Branagh.
In the first place, this is *not* Mary Shelley's FRANKENSTEIN. As iconic and thematically fascinating as Shelley's novel might be, it is unfilmable as written, a rambling piece more notable for long philosophical musings than for any action one would consider cinematically ideal. No, while this version may be more faithful than most, it is really Kenneth Branagh's FRANKENSTEIN, and therein lies its crucial failing. While ostensibly attempting to stay close to Shelley's often tedious narrative, Branagh is more frequently indulging his bombastic filmmaking style, giving us the gee-whiz camera work of DEAD AGAIN without any of that film's sense of fun.
Branagh also stars as Victor Frankenstein, the Swiss medical student haunted by the death of his mother. Determined to find a way to defeat death, he decides to pursue the experiments of his mentor Dr. Waldman (John Cleese) into the re-animation of dead tissue. Frankenstein's experiment is a success, but when he sees the creature (Robert DeNiro) that is his handiwork, he abandons it. However, the creature survives, escaping into the country to learn about its own nature. When it realizes who is responsible for its existence, the creature decides to seek vengeance, on Frankenstein and his beloved fiancee Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter).
There are a truckload of bad decisions involved in MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN, but the most glaring might be Branagh casting himself as the good mad doctor. As talented a Shakespearean stage actor as he is, he is also a Shakespearean stage actor on film. Victor Frankenstein is a character defined by torment, but Branagh's version of torment often consists of howling and tearing at his hair. The screenplay by Steph Lady and Frank Darabont does far too little to establish the Oedipal subtext which is the basis for Frankenstein's obsession, making Branagh's reaction to his mother's death look comically overboard. When nearly a full hour goes by before the creature plays a significant role, Frankenstein's characterization needs to be developed more consistently and subtly, and Branagh can't pull it off.
He also seems to direct that first hour without any thought of the audience. It's true that he's dealing with a script that leap-frogs over twenty years in the first ten minutes, but Branagh's editing choices are baffling. The opening sequence, which takes place on a ship in the Arctic, is so loud and fast that it borders on the incoherent; the next twenty minutes are a crashing bore. FRANKENSTEIN always looks impressive, particularly the mammoth stairway of the Frankenstein manor which seems to take on a life of its own, but until the creation sequence Branagh spends an awful lot of time doing precious little but creating atmosphere as precociously as possible.
The creation sequence does signal a significant improvement in FRANKENSTEIN, and that is largely due to the surprisingly expressive performance of Robert DeNiro as the creature. Even under mounds of gruesome latex, DeNiro gives the creature an interior life, and some of the scenes which focus on his interaction with a peasant family are extremely touching. But he is frequently failed by Branagh's direction, because Branagh doesn't want to concentrate on the story's philosophical underpinnings--he wants to film an opera. He directs the same way someone once described Whitney Houston's singing: he never walks when he can cartwheel.
There are moments of undeniable power in MARY SHELLEY'S FRANKENSTEIN, including a horrifying sequence involving the creation of a bride for the creature, and they are so strong that they almost make up for the flotsam between them. Unfortunately, for the most part FRANKENSTEIN the movie ends up a lot like the creature itself: alternately lumbering and chaotic, and a patchwork mess.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 creatures: 5.

Ruby is an awesome piece of creation, Everyday I'm learning and discovering ruby in lot different and better way. just like other days today I dug more into how ruby closures work. here is my brief explanation after reading about ruby closures. thanks to the author for his wonderful writeup.
In my Ii have worked in many different programming languages and ruby always stay one step apart from them because of its easiness and inbuilt function.
As we know ruby does lotta stuffs with closure, like in array iteration we are using closures in everywhere. Ruby has 4 type of closures - Block, Procs, Lambda and Method. I'm trying to explain them in brief. So i could use this post as my future reminder
Block is a imprtant part of Ruby which delete the redundancy. It's used with '&' sign prefixed variable also executes using yield or *.call.
Its used as other ruby data types (array, hash, string, fixnum etc..), it's reusable and could be used across multiple calls. also several procedures could be passed at a time. I works mostly as Block so it is upto user which he found more better to understand.
Lambda is just the functon without the name. Lambdas in ruby are also objects which sneak into the code easily. Unlike proc the last value of lambda is its return value. Lambdas have methods that can be assigned to values.

This is a dream of a burrito. It’s one of those glorious things that manages to balance hearty with fresh, spicy with sharp, smoky with sweet.
Put the garlic and chilli in a medium frying pan with a little coconut oil. Cook until starting to brown, then add the smoked paprika, borlotti beans with their liquid and the juice of one lime and let it blip away for 10 minutes to heat through.
Mix the tomatoes with the juice of half a lime and the coriander. Mash the avocados with the juice of the other lime half.
Sprinkle the zest of one lime over the feta or tofu and scatter over a couple of large pinches of chilli flakes. Put the remaining coconut oil into a large frying pan and fry the feta or tofu for 3 minutes each side, until just brown, being careful not to move it too much otherwise it will break up.
Once the feta or tofu is browned on both sides, remove and keep warm. Add the spring greens and oregano to the same pan, with a little more oil if needed, and add the remaining lime zest, another good pinch of chilli flakes and 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the water has evaporated and the greens are starting to crisp.
Serve with tortillas.


Preventing design debt and staying cohesive.
To prevent design debt and maintain a cohesive, consistent user experience across all tools, services and features of our platform.

These checklists should not only apply to the design being assessed but also its integration into the existing application and surroundings.
The lists below should be used by the designer during creation of wireframes, mockups, and prototypes and should be reviewed before any design is handed off to engineering. Quality Assurance should also use the list after build to ensure the quality of design has been passed onto the production application. Any iterative changes made during the build phase should also be reviewed to maintain quality and mockups may also need to be updated to reflect them.

Ripple (XRP) Price Resuming Decline, Bitcoin Breaks $8.5K
- Ripple price is under pressure and struggling to surpass the $0.2660 resistance against the US dollar.
- The price is currently declining and it is likely to break the $0.2580 support area.
- There is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2645 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
- Conversely, Ethereum is still holding the main $180 and $178 support levels.
Ripple price is facing an increase in selling below $0.2650 against the US Dollar, similar to bitcoin. XRP price could continue to move down below $0.2600 and $0.2580.
Ripple Price Analysis
After a sharp decline below the $0.2600 support, ripple recovered from the $0.2521 low against the US Dollar. XRP/USD corrected above the $0.2600 and $0.2620 resistance levels.
However, the price faced a strong resistance near the $0.2660 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was no close above the 100 hourly SMA, resulting in a fresh bearish reaction.
The price broke the $0.2620 support level. Moreover, ripple decline below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.2521 low to $0.2660 high. It has opened the doors for more losses below the $0.2600 support.
An immediate support is near the $0.2580 level and a connecting bullish trend line on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is a downside break below the trend line support, the price is likely to decline further below the $0.2570 support.
The next major support is near the $0.2520 level, below which the price may even break $0.2500. Any further losses might lead ripple towards the $0.2450 support area.
On the upside, there are many hurdles near the $0.2660 level and the 100 hourly SMA. Additionally, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2645 on the same chart.
Therefore, a clear break above the $0.2660 resistance and the 100 hourly SMA is needed for a decent upward move. The next resistance is near $0.2685, above which the price is likely to climb towards the $0.2750 resistance area in the near term.
Looking at the chart, ripple price is clearly trading in a bearish zone below the $0.2700 and $0.2660 levels. On the downside, the $0.2520 and $0.2500 support levels are very important. Any further declines could its accelerate decline and the price may even struggle to hold $0.2450.
Technical Indicators
Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is currently moving heavily in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now well below the 50 level, but showing a few correction signs.
Major Support Levels – $0.2600, $0.2580 and $0.2520.
Major Resistance Levels – $0.2660, $0.2685 and $0.2720.

All research studies done through Ohio University must first be approved by the university’s Institutional Review Board, or IRB, to be approved for participant safety and ethics, said Jeffrey Vancouver, a professor and Byham chair of industrial and organizational psychology. These surveys must be approved by the respective IRB, which varies based on the type of study. Legitimate surveys will have an IRB number associated with them.
“If they've gone through the IRB, the IRB will require that you put the IRB number on the flyer so (the prospective participant) can contact research compliance and say ‘Is this a real study?’” Vancouver said. ”(Researchers) should not be collecting data from such human subjects for generalizable purposes without having gone to the IRB.”
Compensation being paid to participants from the studies is also monitored by the IRB for participant protection and legitimacy.
“What the IRB is concerned about would be that the compensation is so high as to coerce people into engaging to be participants as opposed to merely providing compensation,” Vancouver said.
Many studies find offering compensation helps finding research participants. That money often comes from grants or the researcher’s own funds, Vancouver said. The IRB monitors compensation for coercion, so that participants are not being part of something that they would not normally do because they are in desperate need of money.
“You're walking a very fine line between … coercion, which is paying people, so you're ‘coercing’ them to participate when they might not normally if you weren't offering such a high reward,” Hillman said.
Despite being compensated, some students find themselves too busy to participate in studies, especially if the students have to travel somewhere to complete it.
“I just don't have the time really,” Rachel Stroup, a graduate studying English, said. “I'm a graduate student, and I have lots of stuff to do.”
Bobby Lindsey, a freshman studying mechanical engineering, said he usually just deletes the emails but would consider doing a survey in the future if compensated and if he had time.
“It doesn't really bug me. I'm not gonna do it,” Lindsey said. “I'm just gonna delete it.”
Although the IRB monitors compensation levels, there are no specific guidelines for how a study should pay its participants, Angela Hillman, a professor of exercise physiology, said.
“If I'm taking any kind of sample from you, like a bodily fluids sample, or if it's something that's invasive, I think that people should be compensated for that,” Hillman said. “I kind of think of it as ‘What kind of things would you do yourself without compensation?’”
Hillman said she knows of no official standard or compensation requirement for research studies, and it is usually up to the researcher’s discretion.
“There's actually, as far as I'm aware, no standard. I don't think the research office says ‘Well, you have to pay people this much’ or ‘If they do this much work for you, you need to compensate them,’” Hillman said. “I don't think that exists. It's really up to the researcher’s discretion.”
The main reason why most studies use compensation is because researchers also want to make it worth the student’s time, too, said Christie Thiessen, the project coordinator of the alcohol and couples study and a graduate student studying psychology.
“We all make self-benefit decisions with our time every day of whether it's worth it or not,” Thiessen said. “When we're trying to get participants to answer questions, especially personal questions about themselves or come in and do weird stuff in the lab, being able to say, ‘Hey, this will help make it worth your time’ really helps with that recruitment process.”
In Hillman’s study of the effects of tart cherry supplements on inflammation and the gut microbiome, she said she wrote her grant with the compensation of participants in mind.
“I specifically wrote in how much competence I wanted to pay participants — $100 per (participant),” Hillman said. “That's pretty typical. If you're writing a grant, you know that you want to pay participants. You'll obviously work that into your budget in the planning stage.”
All safety and validity within legitimate university studies that are submitted must be approved by the IRB, Vancouver said.
“A big part of it is that participants are made aware of what the risks are and what's being done to mitigate it and as well as what the benefits potentially are, so that participants can make informed decisions regarding whether to consent or not to the research,” Vancouver said.
Alicia Burdette, a junior studying creative writing, said she is wary of completing surveys despite any monetary compensation.
“I have never done that,” Burdette said. “I just don't want to. I feel like it's annoying.”
The benefits for participants are not only limited to monetary compensation, Thiessen said.
“(In some studies) that have people do daily diaries, each day they'll do a brief review of their day and a phone response for weeks. People don't want to do that for no reason,” Thiessen said. “Some of these could be a really important and useful tool for research, and participants certainly get a lot out of it as well.”

Me and Mary Jane ...
I thought I would relate to anyone who will listen, the Journey I have been on with Mary Jane. Let me start from the beginning, before the summer of '02, I had hardly experimented with any drug, excluding alcohol, not due to lack of desire, but lack of avalability. I had a duplicitous reputation around my school of being both a 'brain' and the 'alcohol guy', needless to say this led to an interesting combination of friends. However, I never really enjoyed drinking, it was only something I did to be social.
What I had always quested after was knowledge and experience, and alcohol could only take me so far down this road, I wanted the real stuff, the meat and potatoes, the hallucinogens. Then, in early July, opportunity came knocking on my door, in the form of a portly jewish boy turned buddhist. We had been friends in the past, attending the same elementary and middle school, but he had moved to the mountains for a more suting lifestyle, but I digress. He gave me the perfect opportunity to breach into the drug subculture.
I found quickly that marijuana can be a 'gateway drug,' if that is your intention for it. I smoked daily, up to 1/4 oz. This, again, was not so much that I enjoyed it( not to say I didn't, in fact I did thuroughly), it was more of a tool to meet new people with connections to what I was really wanted, and soon was experimenting in all sorts of hallucinogens, from mushrooms to mescaline, from LSD to AMT, exploring a vast new realm of consciousness, all the time continuing heavy use of Cannabis. Soon however, this came to a screeching end.
One cold day in early January, a friend and I were warming ourselves over a nice bowl when it hit me, like a ton of bricks, I felt my brain slow down to the point where I couldn't formulate a thought for the life of me, I wasn't even able to speak, hardly move, luckily, I was with one of my experience tripster friends, and rather than freaking out and calling my parents, he wisely helped me lay down( I couldn't myself) and let me be until morning, When I woke, I was cognative again, but still felt slow, we talked over my experience and we bth concluded we'd never seen anything like it before.
I decided to give it a rest for a week then try again, same results, but to a lesser extent, I was able to function, but could not keep conversation, or concentrate on driving, I asked a friend to drive me home an once again I slept it off.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!] After this, my body has never reacted to Mary Jane in the same way, I have attempted smoking 2 since then, both times having similar results.
Whatever this is has affected my use of other drugs as well. I recently tried some mushrooms, but rather than the normal blissful state with wonderful hallucinoges, I had a violent reaction, My skin turned a pale yellow, and I shortly passed out. I would normally attribute this to bad boomers and forget it, but me and my friend had shared the same 1/2 oz. When I try to relate these experiences to other, they seem not to understand, or perhaps they are simply not interested.
I have now shifted my pursuit for knowledge to meditation and other such methods of enlightenment. If you have read this far, I hope my story has showed something to you, and if there is anyone who has had even a vaugely similar experience, I feel your pain, and know that function does return, slowly, after 2 months of sobriety, I am recovering, and although I am not back to my oiginal capacity, I am close, and feel I will be completely restored within the next month, and hope to soon surpass this with my my new meditational practices.
Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Some of the activities described are dangerous and/or illegal and none are recommended by Erowid.

Hey. Are there Russian speakers here?
I was told to update the wallet to version 0 2 5. deleted, installed a new one, entered the saved SEED. It took 2 times to enter the password and 2 times to enter the PIN code. There are no test coins and transaction history inside. black screen. I don’t remember the name of the old wallet. It was required to give a name.

The setting of the book begins on the night that we found out that Borders would be going out of business and that is the night I began writing it. The first chapter has remained more or less untouched since July 18th. Although this leaves it lacking in what could have been some effective editing, I felt compelled to keep it as close to its origins as possible. Beginnings aren’t always perfect, but you will never be able to change them.
As I continued to write, the book took on several personas. From the very beginning I wanted it be a collective work, a combination of all the talents and abilities of the staff. I was adamant about everyone participating and contributing to the final product. However, this is easier dreamed up than executed. Not everyone had the same vision and motivation as I did. As I was told over and over again, it wasn’t that they didn’t care, it was because they were too busy or too tired. I was both of these things as well, but I learned that in order to devote the kind of time and effort I was putting into the project, one would have to really feel connected to it. Unfortunately, I failed at bridging this gap, and no matter how hard I tried to make it “ours” it slowly became more and more “mine”.
Thus, the first draft of the book contained a lot of narrative about the research I was doing in other Borders stores. I wrote about going to others stores in the Northeast and talking to as many Borders employees as I could. I spoke to people at Barnes and Noble locations and independent bookstores. I wanted to submerge myself in experiences with people who would be affected by the bankruptcy.
I soon realized, however, that the book was far far far too much about me. I wanted to get back to its roots, so I stripped it down to its bones again and started over. What it is today is very close to what it was after that second draft.
Looking back, I am pleased with the end result. Although I had imagined the contributions being more equal among us, I am grateful for what I did get out of them.
Sold Everywhere But Borders hits the shelves this February from Dog Ear Publishing and is available direct from the publisher. It is also available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

FOX Announcer’s Reaction To Vikings’ 1st Half Is Going Viral
by Matt HladikLetdown games happen in the NFL all the time. The Minnesota Vikings are going through one right now.
Minnesota came into today’s game against the 3-6 Denver Broncos with a 7-3 record, fresh off a big primetime win last Sunday in Dallas.
At halftime, they trailed Denver 20-0. Nothing went right for the Vikings in the first 30 minutes, a fact summed up nicely by CBS play-by-play man Kevin Harlan.
Here’s what Harlan had to say after the Vikings fumbled away a kickoff late in the second quarter.
Fortunately for Minnesota, there are two halves to every football game. The second half began much more auspiciously for the guys in purple, with Kirk Cousins leading the team to a touchdown early in the third quarter.
Denver still leads 20-7, but the Vikings have some life.

So the issues around S3 are effectively:
- Public Listable buckets
- AWS Authenticated Listable buckets
- Improper ACLs
- World-readable buckets
- World-writeable buckets.
All S3 buckets share a global naming scheme. Bucket enumeration is not avoidable.
All S3 buckets have a DNS entry: [bucketname].s3.amazonaws.com
It’s easiest to access a bucket over its HTTP interface:
https://[bucketname].s3.amazonaws.com)
or you can check the interface like:
https://s3-[region].amazonaws.com/[organization_name]
or to use the more powerful AWS CLI:
pip3 install awscli or apt-get install awscli
aws configure
aws s3 ls s3://[bucket_name]

Many people may not care about unicode when using JasperReports. They just choose the font they like for their fields and static text, run the report and that´s it. But if your report contains characters, which are not contained in your default non unicode operating system characterset, you'll be surprised. You`ll get correct print preview and printout but no correct pdf export. Some characters will miss.
I had this problem and what I found on the internet was quite confusing. I found everythig from "this is a bug in the underlaying itext library" to complicated looking solutions using deprecated JasperReports functions.
But the real solution is fortunately quite simple...
Just switch the font name of the desired field to "DejaVu Sans". Depending on the used characters you may notice that they are now visible in pdf too.
(The DejaVu font family is a bit limited but for example you will be able to export cyrillic characters with it. See http://dejavu-fonts.org for further information.)
You switched the font name property of the desired field to "DejaVu Sans" and you checked on the website that the characters are included in the font but you still got nothing in your PDF?
Did you previously play with the deprecated options like "PDF Font name" or "PDF Encoding"? Even if you switch back this options to their default values this may be the reason that you don't get it displayed in PDF. You have to switch to the xml view of your report definition and check that these options are NOT present at all!
For example this does not work:
<staticText> <reportElement x="14" y="63" width="521" height="24"/> <textElement>  </textElement> <text><![CDATA[Cyrillic: б в г д ж з и ь к л м н п ф ц ч ш шт э я ю я ы]]></text> </staticText>
This will work as the pdfFontName and pdfEncoding attributes are not present:
<staticText> <reportElement x="14" y="63" width="521" height="24"/> <textElement>  </textElement> <text><![CDATA[Cyrillic: б в г д ж з и ь к л м н п ф ц ч ш шт э я ю я ы]]></text> </staticText>
Maybe your characters are not displayed with the DejaVu fonts or you just don't like this font. What about using Arial or any other unicode font?
To achieve this you must provide your font in a special way to JasperReports. This means your fonts must be put in a .jar file which must contain additional information in a property file and a special xml file describing the contained fonts. This jar file must be on the java classpath while you execute your report. Sounds complicated? Don't panic... ;-)
You can create such a font jar file in two steps using the graphical report editor iReport which you may already be using.
If you open the selection list of the font name property in iReports, you may notice that there are a few entries at the top of the list and then, devided by a dash, a longer list of fonts. The longer list beneath the dash are the fonts installed in your operating system whilest the entries above are fonts that are installed into iReports. Only these installed fonts can be used to export unicode characters to pdf whithin iReports. So the first step is to install your favorite font to iReport.
You now see a list of all already installed fonts. The three DejaVue fonts are installed by default and the other three are generic font aliases.
Now you shoud be able to export your report to pdf from within iReport using your installed font and foreign characters.
A note to Windows 7 users:
You may get an error if you try to install a font into iReport because you have no right to write into the directory. Change the security property of the
C:\Program Files\Jaspersoft\iReport-4.1.1\ireport\fonts
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Jaspersoft\iReport-4.1.1\ireport\fonts
directory to allow users to write there.
Now you have a ready to use font jar which can be used with JasperReports. Just add it to the classpath of your application.

FROM HELL RATING: 8/10 http://www.joblo.com/fromhell.htm
For more reviews and movie wallpapers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
PLOT: During a 10-week span in London in the fall of 1888, Jack the Ripper, a man whose identity was never uncovered, committed five ritualistic, grisly murders of prostitutes. This film is based on the graphic novel which assembled a theory behind the century-old mystery.
CRITIQUE: Awesome! I love dark movies, I love stylish movies, I love good mysteries and I love Johnny Depp...so yes, I really dug this movie! The Hughes Brothers are back with a vengeance, out to show the world that they are directors to be taken seriously, and this movie, my friends...is very serious!  It ain't for the kids, I'll tell you that much. And if any of those recent hack directors of two-bit SCREAM-esque slasher flicks want some advice on effective "kill scenes", do not look any further, because each one committed to this film is a cinematic stunner, especially when compared to their generic slice-and-dice contrivances. In fact, most of this film's structure is very creative, the actors, all solid, the atmosphere and "feel" of the picture, remarkably real (gotta love those "unfortunates"), and the descent into darkness, well honed by the filmmakers. You can almost taste the seediness off the screen and quickly come to appreciate the politics of the time. But it's also an impressive mystery film, based on the true-life tale of Jack the Ripper, a man whose identity was never discovered.
The theory in this film is based on the graphic novel "From Hell" written by Alan Moore and presents a compelling story, which despite being a little Oliver Stone-ish, did manage to tie up all of its loose ends quite nicely, and present us with an entertaining bowl of mayhem, sexual depravity, drug usage, insanity, murders and love? Yes, the Brothers even managed to slip a little "love" story in here, and despite not truly being developed, I guess it could've been much worse and taken up more time than was provided already. That's right, there's no real need to put any "romance" in a film about a mass murderer! But that aside, you gotta give up the props to actor extraordinaire Johnny Depp, who once again possesses the strength in character and flawless acting abilities, to center this movie all the way through. Sure, he's just playing a less goofier version of his Ichabod Crane character from SLEEPY HOLLOW, but he does it so well and even added a Michael Caine accent to his mixed bag of tricks in this one. I was also surprised at how little Heather Graham annoyed me in this film (I was sure that her presence would ruin this movie, but she was fine) and how little the dreams/fantasies of Depp's character had to do with the film's development (from what I had seen in the trailer, I thought the filmmakers were going to make this the crux of the story, but thankfully, it wasn't).
On the downside, the film doesn't really explain the whole Freemasons cult organization real well and lacks character development. But then again, a story about the most mysterious serial killer of all-time is probably not the ideal spot for character refinement. I mean, the less I knew about each person, the more suspicious I became of each one's motives, reasons, etc... In fact, I was actually quite surprised by who was presented as the killer in the end, and that was in part, due to the distance to which I'd been held from the film's characters...or am I giving the filmmakers too much credit for something that might not have been their intention? Perhaps. Overall, this is an extremely creepy production, with glorious cinematography (reminiscent of Coppola's DRACULA and Burton's SLEEPY HOLLOW), a grim score and solid acting. But it's not for everyone. Some may be utterly repulsed by the gory particulars of these tragic events, and even though the murders aren't shown as graphically as you might think, there's enough here to send the squeamish right out the doors. But I for one love movies that blend their eclectic visual style with an interesting mystery and palpable, gothic atmosphere, and this flick is just that and plenty more! And God knows that I will certainly not be surrendering the burnt image of Jack the Ripper's haunting cape silhouette and gleaming silver knife from my mind anytime soon...brrrrr!

The main factor behind Honda's Formula 1 future decision
by Scott MitchellHonda must reduce its spending to stay in Formula 1 because cost is the biggest issue as the manufacturer weighs up continuing its engine programme beyond next season.
The Japanese company has had comfortably its best season since it returned to F1 in 2015, winning three races with Red Bull and claiming two pole positions.
Honda is committed to the 2020 season with Red Bull but must decide by the end of this year if it wishes to sign up for 2021 and the next rules cycle, which features the same engine technology but greater research and development restrictions.
"We have started to calculate how much it will cost with the future regulations," Honda's F1 managing director Masashi Yamamoto told Autosport.
"We have noticed that it's very tough for all the car manufacturers at the moment, because of the environment change for electrification.
"So, we are summing up the development cost and having discussions internally."
Asked if cost-cutting was the biggest factor in the decision to continue, Yamamoto added: "It is true that the cost is the biggest issue.
"Winning is the first priority. Once we decide to participate, we just try to win."
Max Verstappen earned Honda its three victories this year and is on the brink of scoring more points than any Red Bull driver in this engine era and finishing third in the drivers' championship, which would mark his best result in F1.
"It's positive to have good results," said Yamamoto.
"But more important thing is a balance with the cost.
"We have to put lots of budget to accelerate our development to catch up the top runners.
"And now we are planning how to maintain current condition and reducing the cost at the same time."
Yamamoto said that while "it is true that we haven't caught up" entirely to its competitors, it was essential that Honda ties to reduce cost from "any area" in order to continue in F1.
Honda had previously indicated it would wait for F1's 2021 regulations to be published before being able to proceed with a final discussion over its future, and Yamamoto is broadly satisfied with the new rules, which do not affect engine manufacturers beyond the limited dyno testing.
However, that has an impact on Honda because even if the company reduces its own budget the rules will put a limit on what can be spent on development.
Yamamoto admitted there were other potential avenues to explore with the rules to cut costs, such as some common engine parts.
- More on Honda's future in F1
- Horner: Brazil win important to keep Honda in F1
- Hamilton: Honda setting up "serious" three-way 2020 fight
- "Not much more" Honda can do to secure its Formula 1 future
"That was one idea," he said.
"But overall, maybe we are still behind, so it might have been a bit difficult to use common parts.
"[But] taking the example of commons parts, if the FIA could have shown that in 2025 they can distribute this [example] part as a common part, maybe it could affect our decision to continue or not.
"Because [then] we can see a bit more longer-term with the budget."


Descendents of class Warning are used to raise structured warnings. They programmers to explicitly supress certain kinds of warnings and provide additional information in contrast to the plain warn method. They implement an Exception-like interface and carry information about the warning – its type (the warning’s class name), an optional descriptive string, and optional traceback information. Programs may subclass Warning to add additional information.
Large portions of this class’s documentation are taken from the Exception RDoc.
Construct a new Warning object, optionally passing in a message.
# File lib/structured_warnings/warning.rb, line 13 def initialize(message = nil) @message = message @backtrace = caller(1) end
Returns any backtrace associated with the warning. The backtrace is an array of strings, each containing either “filename:lineNo: in `method”‘ or “filename:lineNo.”
# File lib/structured_warnings/warning.rb, line 25 def backtrace @backtrace end
Return this warning’s class name and message
# File lib/structured_warnings/warning.rb, line 44 def inspect "#<#{self.class}: #{self}>" end
Sets the backtrace information associated with warning. The argument must be an array of String objects in the format described in Exception#backtrace.
# File lib/structured_warnings/warning.rb, line 32 def set_backtrace(backtrace) @backtrace = backtrace end

Day 1: Of Numerical Integration and Python¶
Welcome to Day 1! Today, we start with our discussion of Numerical Integration.
What is Numerical Integration?¶
where, \(x\) is an \(N-\)dimensional vector and \(t\) typically stands for time. The function \(f(x,t)\) may be a nonlinear function of \(x\) that explicitly depends on \(t\). In addition to specifying the form of the differential equation, one must also specify the value of \(x\) at a particular time point. Say, \(x=x_{0}\) at \(t = t_0\). It is often not possible to derive a closed form solution for this equation. Therefore numerical methods to solve these equations are of great importance.
Euler’s Method for Numerical Integration¶
We use Euler’s Method to generate a numerical solution to an initial value problem of the form:
Firstly, we decide the interval over which we desire to find the solution, starting at the initial condition. We break this interval into small subdivisions of a fixed length \(\epsilon\). Then, using the initial condition as our starting point, we generate the rest of the solution by using the iterative formulas:
to find the coordinates of the points in our numerical solution. We end this process once we have reached the end of the desired interval.
The best way to understand how it works is from the following diagram:
Euler’s Method in Python¶
Let \(\frac{dx}{dt}=f(x,t)\), we want to find \(x(t)\) over \(t\in[0,2)\), given that \(x(0)=1\) and \(f(x,t) = 5x\). The exact solution of this equation would be \(x(t) = e^{5t}\).
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
def f(x,t): # define the function f(x,t)
return 5*x
epsilon = 0.01 # define timestep
t = np.arange(0,2,epsilon) # define an array for t
x = np.zeros(t.shape) # define an array for x
x[0]= 1 # set initial condition
for i in range(1,t.shape[0]):
x[i] = epsilon*f(x[i-1],t[i-1])+x[i-1] # Euler Integration Step
plt.plot(t[::5],x[::5],".",label="Eulers Solution")
plt.plot(t,np.exp(5*t),label="Exact Solution")
plt.xlabel("t")
plt.ylabel("x")
plt.legend()
plt.show()
Euler and Vectors¶
Euler’s Method also applies to vectors and can solve simultaneous differential equations.
The Initial Value problem now becomes:
where \(\vec{X}=[X_1,X_2...]\) and \(\vec{f}(\vec{X}, t)=[f_1(\vec{X}, t),f_2(\vec{X}, t)...]\).
The Euler’s Method becomes:
Let \(\frac{d\vec{X}}{dt}=f(\vec{X},t)\), we want to find \(\vec{X}(t)\) over \(t\in[0,2)\), given that \(\vec{X}(t)=[x,y]\), \(\vec{X}(0)=[1,0]\) and \(f(\vec{X},t) = [x-y,y-x]\).

A Generalized function for Euler Integration¶
Here we rewrite the code in a modular fashion and cast the integrator as a function that takes in 3 inputs ie. the function \(\vec{f}(\vec{y},t)\) where \(\frac{d\vec{y}}{dt}=f(\vec{y},t)\), the time array, and initial vector \(\vec{y}_{0}\). We will find this form to be particularly useful when we use TensorFlow functions to code the integrator. Further, it allows us to write multiple integrating functions (for example Euler or RK4) within the same class and call a specific integrator as needed. In addition we also introduce a function to ensure that the correct inputs are given to the integrator failing which an error message is generated.
Algorithm¶
Get the required inputs: function \(\vec{f}(\vec{y},t)\), initial condition vector \(\vec{y}_0\) and time series \(t\). Entering a time series \(t\) allows for greater control over \(\epsilon\) as it can now vary for each timestep.
Check if the input is of the correct datatype ie. floating point decimal.
Allocate a matrix to hold the output.
At each time step, perform the update \(\vec{y}\) using the Euler method with and store it in the output matrix.
Return the output time series [number of equations \(\times\) iterations] matrix.

def integrate(self,func,y0,t):

Runge-Kutta Methods for Numerical Integration¶
Euler’s method \(x_{n+1}=x_n + \epsilon f(x_n,t_n)\) calculates the solution at \(t_{n+1}=t_n+\epsilon\) given the solution at \(t_n\). In doing so we use the derivative at \(t_{n}\) though its value may change throughout the interval \([t,t+\epsilon]\). This results in an error of the order \(\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^2)\). By calculating the derivatives at intermediate steps, one can reduce the error at each step. Consider the following second order method where the slope is calculated at \(t_{n}\) and \(t_n+\frac{\epsilon}{2}\).
This method is called the second order Runge-Kutta method or the midpoint method.
Above is a schematic description of the second order Runge-Kutta method. The blue curve denotes a solution of some differential equation.
We can reduce errors by calculating additional derivatives. One of the most commonly used integrators is the fourth-order Runge-Kutta Method or RK4 method, that is implemented below:
Note that this numerical method is again easily converted to a vector algorithm by simply replacing \(x_i\) by the vector \(\vec{X_i}\). We will use this method to simulate networks of neurons.
Generalized RK4 Method in Python¶
We can now modify the Euler Integration code implemented earlier with a generalized function for RK4 that takes three inputs - the function \(f(\vec{y},t)\), where \(\frac{d\vec{y}}{dt}=f(\vec{y},t)\), the time array, and an initial vector \(\vec{y_0}\). The code can be updated as follows,
def check_type(y,t): # Ensure Input is Correct
return y.dtype == np.floating and t.dtype == np.floating
class _Integrator():
def integrate(self,func,y0,t):
time_delta_grid = t[1:] - t[:-1]
y = np.zeros((y0.shape[0],t.shape[0]))
y[:,0] = y0
for i in range(time_delta_grid.shape[0]):
k1 = func(y[:,i], t[i])# RK4 Integration Steps replace Euler's Updation Steps
half_step = t[i] + time_delta_grid[i] / 2
k2 = func(y[:,i] + time_delta_grid[i] * k1 / 2, half_step)
k3 = func(y[:,i] + time_delta_grid[i] * k2 / 2, half_step)
k4 = func(y[:,i] + time_delta_grid[i] * k3, t + time_delta_grid[i])
y[:,i+1]= (k1 + 2 * k2 + 2 * k3 + k4) * (time_delta_grid[i] / 6) + y[:,i]
return y
def odeint_rk4(func,y0,t):
y0 = np.array(y0)
t = np.array(t)
if check_type(y0,t):
return _Integrator().integrate(func,y0,t)

Passfault identifies patterns in a password, then calculates the number of passwords that could exist in those patterns. This is the measurement of password complexity. It is more academic and much more accurate than existing password analysis tools.
Suppose a hacker knew how you made your passwords. Would that extra knowledge help crack your password? Suppose you picked the first letter of every word from a long sentence. Suppose you have a 35 character password build this way. This would take decades to crack, but Facebook ranks it as "weak". Why? Because it doesn't have numbers or special characters. However if you pick a common word and append an a number and special character: "cracked1!", facebook ranks the password as strong. This pattern could be cracked in less than one day on an average computer.
The size of a password pattern determines how many passwords a hacker would have to try to guess your password. To put metric in perspective, passfault will estimate the "time to crack". (Calculated by pattern size, type of password protection, and an estimate of cracking hardware). The power of this measurement comes from it's simplicity. It is easy to understand. It communicates clearly the risk that a password poses to the individual and an organization.

How to add a MaixPy module in C
Preliminary knowledge
Everything is an object in python
You need to know what module, type, function, and class are, what are the relationships and differences
- module (module)
In MaixPy
, the functions of each category are put into a module,
For example, the built-in uos
, usys
, machine
,
In addition, our own new file, such as test.py
, can also be a module,
We use modules like this:
import uos
import machine
import test
In C source code, it is
mp_type_module
- type (type)
Used to represent a basic type, it can contain some methods or variables
In C source code, it is
mp_type_type
- class (class)
A class is actually a type
, for example
class A:pass
print(type(A))
Will output
<class'type'>
When A
is instantiated
class A:pass
a = A()
print(type(a))
Will output
<class'A'>
Indicates that a
is an instance (object) of A
Defining a class in C is actually defining a
mp_type_type
Add module in C
Our goal is to realize that the following code can be used at the MaixPy
level:
import my_lib
print(my_lib.__name__)
my_lib.hello()
Create a new folder in the components/port/src
directory, for example, name it my_lib
Then create a new my_lib.c
file under the my_lib
folder
Edit my_lib.c
to add code
Define a module:
#include "obj.h"
const mp_obj_module_t my_lib_module = {
.base = {&mp_type_module },
.globals = (mp_obj_dict_t*)&mp_module_my_lib_globals_dict,
};
Here my_lib_module
is the defined my_lib
module object,
mp_type_module
indicates that it is a module,
mp_module_my_lib_globals_dict
is the global variables and functions of the module. It is a dict
object, which has our own definitions. It has not been defined yet
Define module global variables
STATIC mp_obj_t hello()
{
mp_printf(&mp_plat_print, "hello from my_lib");
return mp_const_none;
}
MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ_0(my_lib_func_hello_obj, my_lib_func_hello);
STATIC const mp_map_elem_t my_lib_globals_table[] = {
{MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR(MP_QSTR___name__), MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR(MP_QSTR_my_lib) },
{MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR(MP_QSTR_hello), (mp_obj_t)&my_lib_func_hello_obj },
};
STATIC MP_DEFINE_CONST_DICT (
mp_module_my_lib_globals_dict,
my_lib_globals_table
);
Here defines a set of key-value pair arrays, key-value pair values, mp_map_elem_t
is defined as follows:
typedef struct _mp_map_elem_t {
mp_obj_t key;
mp_obj_t value;
} mp_map_elem_t;
- The first value is
key
, and the type isstr
object, which is called bymy_lib.key
at the level ofMaixPy
. Here,MP_OBJ_NEW_QSTR(MP_QSTR___name__)
is used to generate astr
object with a value of__name__
. You may have questions about where the__name__
thisc
variable is defined. This is automatically generated by the tool during the compilation phaseVariables, in short, remember this can be written to generate a constant
str` object and save it in the firmware. - The second value is a number, and the type is an object, which can be
str/function/int/float/tuple/list/dict
, etc., in the following way:
str
: Here is also the definition of astr
type valuemy_lib
, that is, usingmy_lib.__name__
at the level ofMaixPy
to get the resultmy_lib
.Other constant objects
: You can usemp_obj_new_xxx
, such asint
variablemp_obj_new_int(10)
, function search inobj.h
Function
: The corresponding value ofkey``hello
here is(mp_obj_t)&my_lib_func_hello_obj
, which is a function object. Note that it is not aC
function. As mentioned earlier, everything inpython
is an object. A function object is used, and then the address is cast tomp_obj_t
. This function object uses the macro definition ofMP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ_0
to define theC
function ofmy_lib_func_hello
as the object ofmy_lib_func_hello_obj
. Note that thehello
function needs to return a valuemp_const_none
, and note that it cannot returnNULL
becauseNULL
Not a (
MaixPy) object, this return value is the return value when the
hello()function is called at the
MaixPylevel > In addition to
MP_DEFINE_CONST_FUN_OBJ_0, which has no parameters, there are also
1/2/3/n` parameters, as well as keywords with keywords. Please refer to the source code to learn by analogy
Then use the MP_DEFINE_CONST_DICT
macro definition to turn the key-value pair of my_lib_globals_table
into a dict
object that can be understood at the MaixPy
level (mp_map_elem_t
is only understandable at the C
level) mp_module_my_lib_globals_dict
, this object is also the previous step Used when defining modules in
At this point, the definition of a module is complete. At the level of MaixPy
, in theory, the following statement can be used to use
import my_lib
print(my_lib.__name__)
my_lib.hello()
But we haven't compiled
Add the module to the firmware and compile it
- Add at the end of the
my_lib.c
file:
MP_REGISTER_MODULE(MP_QSTR_my_lib, my_lib_module, MODULE_MY_LIB_ENABLED);
This line of code registers the module, but whether it is compiled into the firmware depends on whether the macro definition of MODULE_MY_LIB_ENABLED
is defined as 1
in mpconfigport.h
- So we open the
mpconfigport.h
file and add
#define MODULE_MY_LIB_ENABLED (1)
- Open
components/micropython/CMakeLists.txt
to edit
Find the place where there is ############## Add source files ###############
Add after
append_srcs_dir(MPY_PORT_SRCS "port/src/my_lib")
At this point, the project will compile the folder my_lib
to the firmware
Then python project.py rebuild
can compile the firmware, because there are new files, you must use the rebuild
command instead of build
, pay attention to the compilation prompt, if there is an error, pay attention to modify
Add a type to the module
A my_lib
module was previously defined, now we want to define a class in my_lib
, called A
, as follows
import my_lib
a = my_lib.A()
print(a.add(1, 2))
I only talk about the general idea here, and then provide a sample, you can understand it if you are smart
- Define a
mp_obj_type_t
object, just like the previous definition ofmp_obj_module_t
- Similarly, give this class object a
dict
object, as a member of this class, the member can be a constant or function or even anothertype
object - Register this class object to the previous
my_lib
module
The definition of mp_obj_type_t
object and member definition can refer to the implementation in port/src/standard_lib/machine/machine_i2c.c
When defining
mp_obj_type_t
, there is amake_new
member, this function is used to create a new object function will be called, such asa = my_lib.A(); a.add(1,2)
If you don't create a new object and call the class method or variable directly, this function will not be calledA.var_a
For example, we define a const mp_obj_type_t my_lib_A_type ...
Then add this object to my_lib_globals_table
in my_lib/my_lib.c
and map it to key
A
{MP_ROM_QSTR(MP_QSTR_A), MP_ROM_PTR(&my_lib_A_type) },
Note when writing firmware in C language
mp_printf
vsprintk
vsprintf
:
BecauseIDE
uses the serial communication protocol, do not directly use theprintk
orprintf
function to print messages at theC
level, must use themp_printf
function to print, otherwise it will cause theIDE
to run When receiving unintelligible data and disconnecting! !
Of course, you can use printk
for debugging, because this function will not trigger a system interrupt and can be called in the interrupt function, but it is only used for debugging and must be deleted when the code is actually submitted! !


public class Main
extends java.lang.Object
The goal of the project is to create an autonomous robot capable of playing the game Capture the Flag. The robot is transmitted information about the playing field at the beginning of the game, including its team color, starting location, zipline location, and the color of the target flag it needs to capture.
At the start of the game, the robot is placed in the appropriate start corner according to whether it is on the RED or GREEN team. The robot then does ultrasonic localization to orient itself to a suitable angle. After that, light localization is performed in order to reliably determine its x and y coordinates.
The robot then navigates to the opponent's side of the field, via the zipline or the shallow crossing, depending on its team color, avoiding any obstacles on the way. The robot searches for the opponent flag in the indicated search zone and captures it by beeping three times. The robot returns to its own start corner using the other method of travel.
This entire exercise must be done in no more than 5 minutes. This is an image of the competition supplied by the client:

Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teaching the golden rule
American history and practical maths
Study ‘em hard and hoping to pass
Working your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won’t leave you alone
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room is ready to sell
You’re lucky if you can find a seat
You’re fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open your books
Gee but the teacher don’t know
how mean she looks
Hail hail rock ‘n’ roll
Soon as 3 o’clock rolls aroun’
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books and get out of your seat
Down the hall and into the street
Up to the corner and ’round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that’s really hot
With the one you love you’re makin’ romance
All day long you’ve been wanting to dance
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round you go

PICNIC07: Dennis Crowley
Used to work on Dodgeball, now looking at how people experience urban spaces. Sounds like a micro-dopplr: once your friends are aware of your location, it encourages interactions.
Now works at Area/code. As devices and people become location-aware, they're using this data for playful purposes.
Plundr: why should games be restricted to a board? Why can't monopoly be played across Manhatten? Plundr uses wi-fi positioning and creates a commodity trading game around it. Islands are superimposed onto a real-world map by the game, and players collect items from islands to sell them on other ones. It's a bit like a location-aware dopewars, where you need to physically move.
(Wonder what, exactly, he means by "wi-fi positioning")
Done a game for the Sopranos; a game you play whilst you're watching the broadcast. Each element on the game board appears in the TV show, and the aim of the game is to position the elements on the game screen such that as many as possible are in the programme at the same time: betting that characters appear together. All synced up with the broadcast.
Shark Runners: they partnered with marine biologists, tagged real sharks, and used the movement data of these sharks in the real world game, played out in real time. It's not be played in a short setting, it's a long-term, in-the-background game.
(Is there a term for these games which involve infrequent interactions, but play out constantly?)
Dennis shows Pacmanhattan, obviously. Crossroads is a game where you capture street intersections from other players.
One for the Locomatrix crowd :)


‘We’re not all turning into vegans’: New Nutrition identifies meat as a growth opportunity
by Katy AskewDespite all the buzz around plant-based, a new trend report from New Nutrition says the meat category is a growth opportunity.
According to the company’s latest annual trend report, 10 Key Trends in Food, Nutrition and Health 2020, meat consumption is indeed in growth. For the first time, the report identifies meat, alongside plant-based, as an opportunity for food makers.
“Consumers’ perception of meat as a tasty and high-quality protein is driving the reinvention of meat and will secure its permanent place on the plate, and as a snack,” Julian Mellentin, a consultant to the food and beverage industry and author of the report, said.
“People want plants, but we’re not all turning into vegans. In a world where consumers hold fragmented beliefs, there’s room for both plants and meat.”
Innovation in meat
So what innovation and messaging is appealing to meat-eaters? New Nutrition said ‘creative meat producers’ are ‘taking steps to reinvent their category’.
In particular, sustainability, provenance and convenience were identified as key innovation drivers globally. In the US, for example, IRI data revealed that meat snack sales increased 6.7% in 2019.
Meanwhile, Nielsen data suggests that meat brands with clear communication on sustainability, provenance and animal welfare are resonating – and attracting price premiums. For example, US sales of meat with health or environmental claims are ‘growing rapidly’, led by organic and grass-fed claims, up by 13.1% and 12.2% respectively.
Opportunity supported by key trends
Mellentin said that consumers are particularly receptive to positive messages about meat right now because it feeds into other key consumer trends identified in the report. These include growing demand for protein, lower-carb diets and the ‘rebirth of fat’.
Consuming fewer carbs – which often means eating more fat and/or protein – is growing in popularity, fueled by diets like keto.
This is partially being fueled by concern over the “ultimate bad carb” – sugar. New Nutrition noted 80% of US consumers say they are limiting or avoiding sugar in their diets, and there are similar levels of concern in Europe and South America.
Looking at sugar reduction, New Nutrition claimed manufacturers would benefit from leveraging sugar replacement ingredients such as inulin fibre. Not only does this meet demand for low sugar products, it also has benefits for digestive health. The Troo Granola brand in the UK, for example, uses inulin syrup in its products because it serves both as a prebiotic and a sweetener.
These twin benefits have caused demand for inulin to surge – the number of products launched that feature inulin doubled between 2012 and 2019.
The report also flagged fragmenting consumer beliefs because, alongside a growing demand for low-carb or low-sugar products, indulgence is also a big growth driver. “In the midst of the focus on health and nutrition, let's not forget that most people buy bakery products for pure pleasure,” stressed Mellentin. “Natural ingredients, provenance and great taste all matter more than nutrition.”
The 10 key trends identified in the report are:
- Digestive Wellness
- Good Carbs, Bad Carbs
- Plant-based
- Protein
- Sugar - Reinventing Sweetness
- Rebirth of Fat
- Meat Reimagined
- Provenance and Authenticity
- Energy 2.0
- Mood
And there are four “mega trends” that New Nutrition says span all categories:
- Naturally Functional
- Fragmentation
- Snackification
- Sustainability

Proxying a tcp server with nginx causes the client to create a new connection with the server. This is fine if the connections are few and short lived. But things can get a bit unmanageable and maybe even degrade the performance if we have to deal with lots of long lived connections. Moreover the entire purpose of using a proxy is to shield our tcp server from an unexpected spike/ minimize the traffic it has to serve so that it can simply do it's job and leave the request reponse management to the proxy.
In an ideal case nginx should handle the incoming client connections and a tcp server like mongodb should reply only to the request of nginx. All of this shouold happen in such a way that the communication flows like this:-
Such a channel can't be established with plain nginx, it seems. But there is an openresty module that allows us "inject" lua code into tcp streams. In terms of openresty we can implement our plan like this :-
All of this sounds complex but is should be very easy to implement. Also since we are dealing with nginx here we can implement our changes in a running system by making effective use of proxy. So that the clients that are already connected to mongodb won't even notice if anything changed at all.
Some experiments
Today (18 May 2017) I stress tested a fairly complex wordpress page using ab -n 10000 -c 1000 http://example.com/
. I was able to achieve around 4k req per second on my machine. What was astonishing however was the mysql which was proxied behind nginx only used 4 threads to serve all these requests. On lower parameters mysql ran perfectly fine without using any more threads. This sort of validates my feeling that nginx should not only be used to proxy http servers but also tcp servers because it absorbs all the load so well. In this case if mysql has to serve only a single client that is nginx it can perform very well even on an ordinary hardware. Of course a lot depends upon the type of queries but even if we manage to remove the overhead of client management by writing a few simple lines of nginx configuration this is a huge win for us. I have made up my mind all of my tcp servers will be proxied by nginx.
I guess this would be a good time to test out the tcp_by_lua module of openresty and see how far we can take nginx tcp proxy.
