An impressive biscuit tower made of different tea-flavoured biscuits shaped into a Japanese-style pagoda, held together with royal icing.
Equipment and preparation: you will need a 4cm/1½in, 2cm/¾in, 2cm/¾in and 1.5cm/⅝in circle cutter, a 15cm/6in cake tin, 13cm/5in cake tin, 11cm/4¼in cake tin and an electric hand whisk for this recipe.
For the lapsang souchong biscuits, in a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar with the tea using a wooden spoon. Add the egg and beat in until well combined. Add the flour and mix in to make a dough.
Using your hands, gather the dough together into a ball, then wrap it in cling film and leave in the fridge to chill for an hour. (While the dough is chilling you can cut out templates for all the square biscuits – it’s best to make these using sheets of squared paper.)
Preheat the oven to 175C/350F/Gas 4.
On a floured work surface, roll out the dough to an even thickness of 4-5mm/¼in and then cut eight 9cm/3½in square biscuits. (Save any spare dough, rewrap and pop back in the fridge – you can make extra biscuits later if you like.)
Transfer to greased and lined baking trays and bake for about 12 minutes, or until visibly evenly baked and starting to tinge golden-brown at the edges.
Slide the sheets of baking parchment (with biscuits on top) from the trays to wire racks. Allow the biscuits to cool before attempting to remove them from the baking parchment.
For the Earl Grey biscuits, follow the same method as for the lapsang souchong biscuits, but cream the butter and sugar with bergamot zest or Earl Grey tea. Cut into 8 x 7.5cm/3in square biscuits (you can cut more than eight if you have enough dough). Bake for about 10 minutes and cool on wire racks.
For the rose pouchong biscuits, follow the same method as before, but cream the butter and sugar with a few drops of rosewater. Cut into 6cm/2½in square biscuits. Bake for about eight minutes.
For the green tea biscuits, follow the same method as before, but cream the butter and sugar with the green tea powder. Cut out the following: 1 x 15cm/6in square, 1 x 13cm/5in square, 1 x 11cm/4¼in square, 2 x 7cm/2¾in squares, 2 x 5cm/2in squares; 2 x 3cm/1¼in squares, 4 x curlicues made with 4cm/1½in and 2cm/¾in circle cutters, 5 x 2cm/¾in circles, 4 x 1.5cm/⅝in circles.
Take the three largest squares of dough (these are the curled roof sections). Cut similar size squares of baking parchment and attach each one to the underside of a corresponding round cake tin with a smidge of butter (so the 15cm/6in square goes over the base of a 15cm/6in round cake tin, and so on). Place the dough on top so that its four corners hang over the sides. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on size. Leave the biscuits to cool on the tins before attempting to remove.
Bake the rest of the shapes of dough on flat baking trays for 4-9 minutes, depending on size. Slide the sheets of baking parchment (with biscuits on top) from the trays to the wire cooling racks. Allow the biscuits to cool before attempting to remove them from the baking parchment.
For the royal icing, put the egg whites in a large mixing bowl and whisk them for about 30 seconds using an electric hand whisk. Gradually add the icing sugar, a bit at a time, beating continuously.
Add the lemon juice and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Keep beating for about five minutes, or until the icing holds its shape. Mix in the blue and green food colours to make a light turquoise coloured icing.
Cover with cling film until needed.
To assemble, put the icing into a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle. Working on the board you’re using to serve the cake or a plate, stack the eight lapsang souchong biscuits, sandwiching each layer with royal icing. Stack each biscuit at a 45-degree angle to the last, so the first biscuit has a flat side towards you, the second has a point towards you, and so on.
Take the largest green tea roof and stick this on top with more icing. Stack the eight Earl Grey biscuits as before, sandwiching each layer with royal icing and checking the levels throughout. Stick the medium-sized green tea roof on top. Stack the eight rose pouchong biscuits as before. Stick the small green tea roof on top.
Take the remaining square green tea biscuits and stack them in descending order to form a pyramid roof. Put a blob of icing on the back of the four curlicues and place one on each of the four sides of the roof.
Using the icing, separately stack four of the 2cm/¾in circles and then the 1.5cm/⅝in circles to form a finial for the top of the roof, add another 2cm/¾in circle on its edge on top of the finial and then put aside to set. Decorate the architectural features with the icing. Hold your breath and attach the finial.

Doris is bored. She has nothing to do. The sky is dark and the grass is wet so she cannot play sports in the park. She sits on the porch swing and watches the rain. She hears a dog barking in someone's yard. Doris's pals are not home. They cannot play. Doris has chores but she doesn?t want to do them. She ignores doing her chores. Then she gets an idea. She could spin around! That would be fun! So Doris starts to spin and spin. She spins so fast she cannot see. She holds her arms out to the side as she spins. She is a whirlwind! It is fun, but then Doris starts feeling dizzy. She needs to stop. Doris stops spinning and falls down. That was not a good idea. No more spinning for Doris!

30 April 2010 - As of 25th of April, worldwide more than 214 countries and overseas territories or communities have reported laboratory confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009, including over 17919 deaths.
WHO is actively monitoring the progress of the pandemic through frequent consultations with the WHO Regional Offices and Member States and through monitoring of multiple sources of information.
The current situation is largely unchanged since the last update. The most active areas of transmission of pandemic influenza H1N1 virus continue to be parts of West and Central Africa with some focal areas of activity in South and Southeast Asia. Pandemic influenza activity H1N1 remains low in much of the temperate areas of both the northern and southern hemispheres. Seasonal influenza type B virus is the predominant influenza virus, though also at low levels of circulation, across East Asia, Northern and Eastern Europe. Influenza type B viruses have also been detected in Central Africa and this week in West Africa. Seasonal influenza H3N2 viruses have continued to be detected in South and Southeast Asia, as well as sporadically in some countries of West and Central Africa, and Eastern Europe.
In Sub-Saharan Africa, data from a limited number of countries suggests that active transmission of pandemic influenza H1N1 virus is declining across West and West-central Africa. Ghana is reporting moderate amounts of pandemic virus (16 % of all clinical specimens tested were positive for pandemic influenza) but smaller numbers of cases continue to be detected in Senegal, Niger and Cameroon. In East Africa, influenza activity has returned to low levels. Only Rwanda has detected small numbers of pandemic virus in the past week. In addition, a few seasonal influenza H3N2 viruses are seen in Ghana. Influenza type B has been increasingly detected in the area, notably in Ghana and Cameroon.
In East Asia, pandemic influenza H1N1 virus circulation is now sporadic. In China, Mongolia, and Republic of Korea most influenza like illness cases continued to be primarily due to seasonal influenza type B viruses. In China and Mongolia influenza detections have continued to decline compared to previous recent weeks. The Republic of Korea reported increasing levels of respiratory disease activity associated with increasing detections of seasonal influenza type B in respiratory specimens over five consecutive weeks. Of note, small numbers of pandemic influenza H1N1, seasonal H3N2 and H1N1 viruses continued to be sporadically detected in some countries of the region.
In Southeast Asia, overall levels of influenza activity were low. Although the predominant influenza virus circulating was still pandemic influenza H1N1, there was co-circulation of seasonal influenza type B and, to a lesser extent, H3N2 viruses in several countries including Singapore, Cambodia, Indonesia and Thailand. Malaysia has reported increasing levels of respiratory diseases activity associated with pandemic influenza H1N1 laboratory confirmed cases. Media sources have also reported school closures in the country. In Singapore, influenza-like-illness levels are still below the seasonal epidemic threshold but have increased compared to previous week.
In South Asia, Bangladesh reported an increase in respiratory diseases activity associated with increasing numbers of pandemic influenza H1N1 laboratory confirmed cases since beginning of April. India reported pandemic influenza activity in the states of Maharashtra and recently Karnataka. Levels of respiratory diseases activity in both of these countries appear much less intense than in the initial wave of transmission which occurred late 2009. Although pandemic influenza is the predominant virus circulating in the region, seasonal influenza type B viruses continued to be detected in Iran and Bangladesh.
In the tropical zone of the Americas, limited data suggested that pandemic influenza H1N1 activity remains low but with a few localized areas of transmission. Jamaica, Panama and Guatemala, reported increasing trends in respiratory disease activity. In Cuba, all provinces reported an increase in numbers of acute respiratory diseases cases in the last two weeks, mainly from the city of Havana. In Peru, the number of pneumonia cases in children under 5 years of age in Lima has been increasing since six consecutive weeks and remained above the epidemic threshold. However, the extent to which these pneumonia cases have been due to pandemic influenza H1N1 virus is not known. Notably, respiratory syncitial virus (RSV) has been reported to be circulating in the area.
In the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere, overall pandemic influenza H1N1 activity remained low. In United States, the proportion of outpatient visits for influenza-like illness was below the national baseline. No influenza B is reported by countries of North America. In Europe, pandemic influenza activity is at very low intensity in all countries. The overall proportion of sentinel respiratory samples testing positive for influenza remained stable at about 4.5%. For the current week, the total number of sentinel influenza B detections continued to exceed that of influenza A, mainly due to viral detections from Eastern Europe: Central, Siberian, Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan.
In the temperate countries of the Southern Hemisphere, influenza-like illness activity remained low and at the levels experienced at the same time in previous years. Australia has continued to report sporadic detections of pandemic influenza H1N1, seasonal influenza B and H3N2 viruses in low numbers in recent weeks.
The Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN) continues monitoring the global circulation of influenza viruses, including pandemic, seasonal and other influenza viruses infecting, or with the potential to infect, humans including seasonal influenza. For more information on virological surveillance and antiviral resistance please see the weekly virology update (Virological surveillance data, below).
28 April 2010 -- For this reporting week (15-28 April 2010), no additional cases of oseltamivir resistant pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 viruses have been reported. The cumulative total remains at 285 so far. All but one of these have the H275Y substitution and are assumed to remain sensitive to zanamivir.
*Countries in temperate regions are defined as those north of the Tropic of Cancer or south of the Tropic of Capricorn, while countries in tropical regions are defined as those between these two latitudes.
**Abbreviations: influenza-like-illness (ILI), acute respiratory infection (ARI), and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI)
The qualitative indicators monitor: the global geographic spread of influenza, trends in acute respiratory diseases, the intensity of respiratory disease activity, and the impact of the pandemic on health-care services.
The maps below display information on the qualitative indicators reported. Information is available for approximately 60 countries each week. Implementation of this monitoring system is ongoing and completeness of reporting is expected to increase over time.

Weird.
As a nice surprise, though, the dot (.) is not allowed in database or table names (but is allowed in column names). Nor are the slash (/) and backslash (\). Look here for more on this.
Support for non English naming
I kinda new about this all along, but never thought of the consequences. It's nice to have a relaxed naming rule (I can even name my tables in Hebrew if I like), but "nice" doesn't always play along with "practical".
As a Hebrew speaker, I repeatedly encounter issues with using my language. In many applications Hebrew encoding is not supported (many times even UTF8 isn't). Not to mention the fact that Hebrew is written from right to left. On many occasion I was irritated by the lack of support for non-English or non-ASCII characters.
But not always and not everywhere. I've had my share of programming languages, and, to be honest, I never expected my programming language to support UTF8 encoding for function names, variables, modules, packages or whatever. Using "a-zA-Z0-9_" is just fine. Many people who are not well familiar with English just name their variables in their native language, but written with English characters. This works well till you get someone from outside the country, who doesn't speak the language and does not understand (nor can pronounce, nor has the matching keyboard layout or knows how to use it) the names.
In the same way, I have no wish for my table names to be named in Hebrew, German or Japanese names. English is just fine.
Using non-letter characters just adds to the mess. Popular "command" characters such as '~', ',', ':', ';', '*', '?', '(', '$' are better left alone. They don't belong in database or table names (mapped to file names) or column names (internally handled by MySQL).
English has become the de-facto computer world language. Programming languages, file systems, TCP/IP protocols, SQL: everything "speaks" English.
Security
There's another aspect, though: security. It may sound silly, but you can actually write complete scripts in a table's name! Not wanting to give the wrong idea, I'm not presenting some table names which can wreak havoc on your machine if used improperly.
But think about it: don't we all use a couple of scripts which backup/clean/automate some stuff for us? Don't these scripts just go ahead and read some table names, then do stuff on those tables? How well do they trust table names?

Career Interest
I want to be a computer science major in college. I'm not quiet sure what field I want to go into in computer science because there are so many. Some of the disciplines that interst me are artificial inteligence, robotics, video game development, and cybersecurity. In the end, I will choose what interests me the most, but I don't want to limit myself until I have at least been able to try each one.

The process of reflective DLL injection is as follows:
- Open target process with RWX permissions and allocate memory large enough for the DLL.
- Copy the DLL into the allocated memory space.
- Calculate the memory offset within the DLL to the export used for doing reflective loading.
- Call CreateRemoteThread (or an equivalent undocumented API function like RtlCreateUserThread) to start execution in the remote process, using the offset address of the reflective loader function as the entry point.
- The reflective loader function finds the Process Environment Block (PEB) of the target process using the appropriate CPU register, and uses that to find the address in memory of kernel32.dll and any other required libraries.
- Parse the exports directory of kernel32 to find the memory addresses of required API functions such as LoadLibraryA, GetProcAddress, and VirtualAlloc.
- Use these functions to then properly load the DLL (itself) into memory and call its entry point, DllMain.
The assumption of reflective DLL injection is that calling the entry point of the DLL is sufficient to execute the full functionality of the DLL. However, this is often not the case. Microsoft advice to minimize the work does in DllMain and to do "lazy initialization" avoiding loading additional libaries or creating new threads.
New article provides a more robust dll injection technique. Dynamically writing some bootstrap shellcode to the target process which loads the DLL (using LoadLibraryA()) and then finds and calls another exported entry point function (using GetProcAddress). While this is a great improvement, it is not reflective.
Take this idea and apply it to reflective. The basic process is as follows, summarized for brevity:
- Open target process and allocate memory.
- Copy the DLL into the allocated memory.
- Copy a hash of the entry point function name and any arguments to the function into the memory space after the DLL.
- Copy over some bootstrap shellcode that calls a modified reflective loader with pointers to the data copied in step 3.
- Create a remote thread in the target process, using the address of the beginning of the shellcode as the entry point.
The reason we need the bootstrap shellcode is due to the limited amount of data we're able to pass to the reflective loader with the original reflective DLL injection technique. CreateRemoteThread's LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE lpStartAddress is the entry point for execution of the created thread. This function is prototyped as:
typedef DWORD (__stdcall *LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE) ( [in] LPVOID lpThreadParameter );
It only takes a single LPVOID parameter. Reflective technique passess address of reflective loader to lpStartAddress. This is fine since the reflective loader only calls DllMain, which takes a void pointer as its lpvReserved parameter.
If we want a new reflective loader to call an additional export after loading the DLL, we'll need to give it more ifnromation! We'll do this by passing additional parameters to the reflective loader function using some bootstrap shellcode. New declaration of our reflective loader function will be:
DWORD WINAPI ReflectiveLoader( LPVOID lpParameter, LPVOID lpLibraryAddress, DWORD dwFunctionHash, LPVOID lpUserData, DWORD nUserdataLen );
Here, dwFunctionHash is a hash of the export function name we want to call, and lpUserData is a blob of data (of size nUserdataLen) that we'll pass to the export function when it's called by the reflective loader.
Now instead of just allocating memory in the remote process for the DLL, we'll also include space for shellcode (64 bytes is sufficient) and the blob of data:
DWORD nBufferSize = dwLength // size of the DLL
+ nUserdataLen
+ 64; // shellcode buffer
// alloc memory (RWX) in the host process for the image...
lpRemoteLibraryBuffer = VirtualAllocEx(hProcess, NULL, nBufferSize, MEM_RESERVE | MEM_COMMIT, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE);
if (!lpRemoteLibraryBuffer)
break;
printf("Allocated memory address in remote process: 0x%p\n", lpRemoteLibraryBuffer);
// write the image into the host process...
if (!WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, lpRemoteLibraryBuffer, lpBuffer, dwLength, NULL))
break;
ULONG_PTR uiReflectiveLoaderAddr = (ULONG_PTR)lpRemoteLibraryBuffer + dwReflectiveLoaderOffset;
// write our userdata blob into the host process
ULONG_PTR userdataAddr = (ULONG_PTR)lpRemoteLibraryBuffer + dwLength;
if (!WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPVOID)userdataAddr, lpUserdata, nUserdataLen, NULL))
break;
ULONG_PTR uiShellcodeAddr = userdataAddr + nUserdataLen;
The shellcode wil have two goals- Call the reflective loader function with our additional parameters
- call ExitThread() for proper cleanup and so that we can get the exit code of the thread from our calling process
First we get the memory address of ExiThread, which should be the same for every process (since kernel32.dll is loaded by most (all?) processes).
HMODULE kernel32 = LoadLibraryA("kernel32.dll");
FARPROC exitthread = GetProcAddress(kernel32, "ExitThread");
Next we'll write our bootstrap shellcode to a buffer, which we'll then write to the remote process memory space we allocated. The x86 version of the shellcode is simple, since we just need to push our parameters to the stack in verse order (per __stdcall calling convention) before calling the reflective loader:
See child page
The x64 shellcode is more complicated, since the calling convention requires using registers for passing parameters. It also needs to take into account "shadow space" when passing parameters to the reflective loader function. This is because while the x64 calling convention passes the first four parameters to a function in registers, the compiled function will often copy those parameters into stack space allocated by the caller located right before the return address (even in non-optimized code). If that "shadow space" on the stack was not allocated by the caller, the function may not work as expected. See more on shadow space debugging here.
Last, we'll write the shellcode to the remote process and create a remote thread that uses the address of the shellcode as the entry point.
// finally, write our shellcode into the host process
if (!WriteProcessMemory(hProcess, (LPVOID)uiShellcodeAddr, bootstrap, i, NULL))
break;
// Make sure our changes are written right away
FlushInstructionCache(hProcess, lpRemoteLibraryBuffer, nBufferSize);
// create a remote thread in the host process to call the ReflectiveLoader!
hThread = CreateRemoteThread(hProcess, NULL, 1024 * 1024, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)uiShellcodeAddr, lpParameter, (DWORD)NULL, &dwThreadId);
The reflective loader function itself hasn't changed much from the original version by Fewer, except for the additional parameters we pass to it and then the section that calls our chosen export in the DLL. After loading the DLL, it calls DllMain (which would ideally be empty), and then calls our export. We do this by comparing the passed hash of the export function name with the hashes of the DLL's exports after it loads, and then calling the export with the blob of data as a parameter:
PIMAGE_DATA_DIRECTORY directory = &((PIMAGE_NT_HEADERS)uiHeaderValue)->OptionalHeader.DataDirectory[IMAGE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY_EXPORT];
PIMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY exports = (PIMAGE_EXPORT_DIRECTORY)(uiBaseAddress + directory->VirtualAddress);
// search function name in list of exported names
int idx = -1;
DWORD *nameRef = (DWORD *)(uiBaseAddress + exports->AddressOfNames);
WORD *ordinal = (WORD *)(uiBaseAddress + exports->AddressOfNameOrdinals);
for (DWORD i = 0; i < exports->NumberOfNames; i++, nameRef++, ordinal++) {
if (hash((char *)(uiBaseAddress + (*nameRef))) == dwFunctionHash) {
idx = *ordinal;
break;
}
}
// AddressOfFunctions contains the RVAs to the "real" functions
// typedef BOOL (*EXPORTFUNC)(LPVOID, DWORD);
EXPORTFUNC f = (EXPORTFUNC)(uiBaseAddress + (*(DWORD *)(uiBaseAddress + exports->AddressOfFunctions + (idx * 4))));
f(lpUserData, nUserdataLen);
The only downside to this technique is that all the exports you want to call from the reflective loader must have the same prototype. You might be abel to get around this by calling the export using x86 shellcode (pushing a variable number of parameters onto the stack before calling the function), but once you get into x64, you can't rely on that due to the way parameters are passed using registers.

The problem is here: testing B.in(b) is linear time, so it's just as
expensive as finding a new b.

It would work (I didn't check in detail, though), but it wouldn't be
any more efficient, so why not go for the simple version ;-)

Ok, great. If you need help with writing the propagator, or with
interfacing it to Java, let us know! I'd start by looking at the
propagate function of ReEqDom in gecode/int/rel/eq.icc for an example
of a C++ reified propagator.

libGDX and RxScala - Activator Template
Welcome!
This tutorial demonstrates how to start developing a game (for Android, probably) in a reactive way using two great libraries combined: libGDX and RxScala.
These two libraries are glued together by the small utility library rxjava-libgdx, which provides observables for typical libGDX events like input, lifecycle or physics events. It's very much a work in progress, though.
The structure and build of this project is quite complicated at a first glance. This is due to libGDX being a multi-platform framework. Also, targeting Android in a build system always creates some overhead. However, I'll walk you through.
Next: Project Structure
This build is a typical sbt multi-project build.
For building Android, it uses the android-sdk-plugin (which is included in the plugins definition).
You can view the build definition here.
You will notice that there are three sub-projects defined in the build:
In the desktop and android directories, you'll mostly find boilerplate necessary for the game to run on these platforms.
The interesting things happen in core.
Next: Oldschool vs. Reactive
Developing a libGDX game is a quite straightforward experience, thanks to the clear structure of the framework. However, libGDX expects an oldschool object-orientated (aka non-functional) callback-ridden way of doing things from you.
A simple oldschool libGDX game might start out something like this (for more information, see here):
class SampleGame extends Game {
var batch: SpriteBatch = _
var font: BitmapFont = _
def create(): Unit = {
batch = new SpriteBatch
font = new BitmapFont
setScreen(new MainMenuScreen(this))
}
def render(): Unit = super.render()
def dispose(): Unit = {
batch.dispose()
font.dispose()
}
}
See all the vars? See all the effects? See all the callbacks?
We don't want to play by these rules. We're the cool new gals. We're the Reactivsters. And that's why we're going to break out of that framework and basically use Rx Observables for everything.
Next: Intro to Rx
Along comes the Reactive Way.  However, if you take a closer look, you'll notice that it's a whole new way of thinking about your programs.
It's about thinking in event streams.
These event streams are called "observables" in Rx terminology. And that's basically all there is to it.
I won't write an Rx tutorial here. You can find a lot of good ones on your own. Here's a good starting point.
As Reactive is quite the hype, you'll find that there are a lot of other reactive libraries besides RxJava out there, for example Akka Reactive Streams and Scalaz Streams. Pick your poison.
This tutorial is based on RxJava/RxScala, though, because I think that this is a very good choice for Android development specifically.
Next: Reactive Game Lifecycle
The starting point for a libGDX game is its lifecycle, usually manifested in an ApplicationListener.
However, we'd like to have a stream of observable lifecycle events instead. And that's exactly what RxGame gives us.
We just have to wire it up first:
After that, we can finally start putting
our game code
into the start
method of RxGame
and begin with handling the lifecycle events.
The first thing to do with the stream of lifecycles is publish it to multiple subscribers. This leaves us
with a ConnectableObservable
called connector
.
From this, we retrieve the very simple stream create
of create events (well, just the one event),
as well as the render stream renders
.
Unfortunately, we need some ugly type annotations around this in order to tell the compiler that we want to work with the Scala version of all the observables instead of the Java version.
We simply map the create
event (which doesn't carry any information itself) into game resources.
This is a very nice way of making the resources accessible to
other streams (especially the render stream), without having to resort to singletons or mutable state anywhere.
Next, we scan
the render stream
into a stream of game events called gameRenders
. This allows us to compute a new game world from the previous one on each render step.
This is a simple, yet very neat way of stepping through your game without mutation (as long as you don't want to do game
computations independent of render events).
In order to be able to display the game state, we still have to combine our game render events with the resources.
This is easily achieved via the combineLatest
operator.
Finally, we subscribe to the combined stream with a very simple render method defined in the SampleRxGame
companion object below,
and connect.
That's it (for now)!

--- title: Home ---
CQPLαbs was founded over the 2013 annual Christmas breakup cricket match between staff and students of the Physics Department at RMIT University. Due to the days' hot weather; liquid replenishment was in high demand. Unfortunately the water in our eskys was in its solid phase and everyone was forced to ration on beer and cider alone.
As the sun went down, discussions including the awesomeness of Haskell programming and the absolute necessity of a group coat-of-arms were solidified into a number of projects that became more and more ridiculous. Too good to lay to rest, this archive was established to document the build processes required to breathe life into the finest of these drunken brain farts.

How did the 'process over product' concept affect the way you tackled the site redesign and rebuild?
I will name this operation as a surgical strike against my sprint 1 and 2.I consulted three youtube tutorial.My aim was to redegisn in such a way that it should clean and proffesional .
What did you think about meditation before reading chapter 2?
To be honest ,waste of time but now I understand ,its like css to your body frame.
What new things have you learnt about meditation?
Paying attention and above all just focus on your breath and come back and back to meditation just like you do in gym.
Did any of the suggested meditation techniques stand out to you?
Right now i am more focussed on correcting my posture while meditating .I like the simple and easy technique of let it go and just paying attention to breath.
Any other musings?
If someone ask me what do you want to achive from meditation ? My answer will be to be calm as jack tolley .I have never felt aura of calmness like i did when i met him.

- Surreal what I read about Maharashtra: Congress’s Abhishek Singhvi reacts on Maharashtra twist
- The month-long political impasse ended dramatically with Devendra Fadnavis returning as Maharashtra CM
- NCP leader Ajit Pawar was sworn-in as the deputy chief minister at Raj Bhavan on Saturday morning
Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi on Saturday called the latest power twist in Maharashtra "surreal".
Abhishek Manu Singhvi tweeted, "Surreal what I read about Maharashtra. Thought it was fake news. Candidly and personally speaking, our tripartite negotiations should not have gone on for more than three days...took too long. Window given was grabbed by fast movers. Pawarji tussi grt ho! Amazing if true, still not sure."
The month-long political impasse ended dramatically with Devendra Fadnavis returning as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra for the second round, backed by the Sharad Pawar-led NCP.
NCP leader Ajit Pawar was sworn-in as the deputy chief minister at Raj Bhavan on Saturday morning.

Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari administered the oath to the two in the morning ceremony, where only official media was present.
"People had given us a clear mandate, but Shiv Sena tried to ally with other parties after results, after which President's rule was imposed. Maharashtra needed a stable govt not a 'khichidi' govt," Fadnavis said.
Ajit Pawar, after taking oath as the deputy chief minister, said: "From result day on October 24, no party was able to form the government. Maharashtra was facing many problems, including farmers issues. So we decided to form a stable government."

This function will simulate up to the next point in which to bodies reach their closest part of a flyby.
The bodys can be grabbed from the nbody
object where they key for a body is its name.
initialStepSize
is the amount of time in seconds that the steps are when simulating, and then it will binary search its way precision
times to get closer to the moment of closest approach. Both initialStepSize
and precision
are optional, the default step size is 360 (6 minutes), and default precision is 5.
One application for this would be simulating up to the next potential Venus transit:
//getNextApproach(bodya,bodyb,precision*);
getNextApproach(nbody.Earth,nbody.Venus);
Using a body that's not part of the currently selected preset will not work, although it will still work if one or both of the bodies are hidden.
Similar to getNextApproach()
but instead of looking for an approach, it targets a specific date, and for precision, it resets back to J2000 before simulating.
date
is the date in milliseconds from 1970, initialStepSize

One application for this would be going to the date of an interesting event, like the 2004 Venus transit:

Schools Minister Nick Gibb's statement on absence in schools.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said:
Despite the welcome fall, absenteeism is still too high. We know that children who are absent for substantial parts of their education fall behind their peers and struggle to catch up.
That is why we have changed the threshold on persistent absence to encourage schools to crackdown on those pupils who are persistently skipping school. Over the coming months we will be giving stronger powers to schools to send a clear message to pupils and parents that persistent absence is unacceptable.
We are also committed to addressing the factors that can lead to children playing truant. Often it can be down to poor literacy skills. That is why we are focusing on improving reading in the early years of primary school with synthetic phonics.
Charlie Taylor, the Government’s expert adviser on behaviour in schools, said:
As a teacher, I know how the poor attendance of pupils can disrupt their own learning and that of other pupils. Quickly these children begin to fall behind their friends and often fail to fill in gaps in their skills or knowledge - sometimes in basics like reading or writing.
Over time these pupils can become bored and disillusioned with education. These pupils are lost to the system, and can fall into anti-social behaviour and crime. That is why it is vital schools tackle absenteeism.
On 12 July 2011, Ministers announced changes to the ‘persistent absence’ threshold. Previously a child was deemed as ‘persistent absent’ if they missed over six weeks of school a year (32 school days). This has now been changed so that if a child misses just over four weeks of school a year (23 school days) they are deemed as ‘persistent absent’. Lowering the threshold will ensure that schools take action sooner to deal with absence.
The Coalition Government has set out a series of reforms on behaviour and discipline.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P. (PIL) No. 2663 of 2011 Vishal Kumar.. .. .... Petitioner Vs. Union of India & Ors ... ... ... Respondents ------ CORAM: HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE APARESH KUMAR SINGH. ------ For the Petitioner: Mr. Mahesh Tewari, Advocate For the UOI: Mr. Mokhtar Khan, ASGI & V.K. Rai, Adv. For the JSPCB: Mr. Sohail Anwar, Sr. Advocate M/s A.K. Pandey & Rahul Sabool Advocates. For the BCCL.: Mr. Anoop Kumar Mehta, Advocate For the Intervener: Mr. Sumeet Gadodia, Advocate For the CPCB Mr. Manish Kumar Advocate ------ Order No. 19 ------ Dated 6th January, 2014 This 'Public Interest Litigation' has been filed on the alleged pollution in the district of Dhanbad by M/s Bharat Coking coal Limited and also by Maithon Power Limited (Intervener). 2. By various orders of this Court, the Court has issued various directions and in furtherance of the directions issued by this Court, the Pollution Control Board has organized various awareness programmes and also issued various directions to the industries situated in the District of Dhanbad to control the pollution. The steps taken by the Pollution Control Board in this regard has been enumerated in its counter affidavit filed on 19.8.2013 and another counter affidavit filed on 23.09.2013
.
3. The grievance of the petitioner is that the intervenor-
Maithon Power Limited, which is a power generating company is highly polluting company in Dhanbad and that the fly ash discharged from the power generating company had formed a blanket that had adversely affected agriculture in the adjoining areas. In response to the allegations made by the petitioner, the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board (in short 'JSPCB') has filed its counter affidavit on 19.08.2013 stating that the JSPCB has inspected Maithon Power Plant and Board vide its letter no. B-824 dated 1.02.2013 has issued various directions, which are as under:
(i). Unit is directed immediately restraining or prohibiting the persons concerned discharging any poisonous, noxious or polluting matters into Maithon Dam;
(ii). Unit shall immediately stop discharging ash laden effluent into Maithan Dam;
(iii). Unit is directed to ensure by 28th February, 2013 all the necessary construction activities should be completed for restraining the effluent discharge outside the premises;
(iv). Unit is directed to do the necessary repairing work of the Ash pond by 30.01.2013 as per the undertaking vide letter No. MPL/C&E/Jan/2013 dated 05.01.2013;
(v). Unit is directed to regulate the production in such a way that the production of fly ash shall be minimum and no ash laden effluent should go into Maithan Dam;
(vi). Unit is directed to intimate the Board regarding progress of works done in this regard at the interval of every 10 days;
(vii). Unit is directed to make operative modified automated dust suppression system at Coal transportation area with immediate effect;
(viii). Unit is directed to make connectivity to JSPC Board, Ranchi for transferring the Online monitoring data of stack emission, within one and half months from the date of issue of this letter;
(ix) Unit is directed to utilize 100 % Fly Ash as per notification of MoEf;
(x). Unit is directed to install and make operational fixed type water sprinkling system at all the vulnerable area within a month;
(xi). Unit shall submit a Bank Guarantee of Rupees 25 Lakh (Rupees twenty five lakh only) within a week to JSPC Board, Ranchi with a validity period of 30.06.2013 subject to condition that all the above conditions shall be fully met by 28.2.2013 failing which Bank Guarantee submitted shall be forfeited and a complaint case shall be filed against the unit and the person concerned under Section 33 and 37 of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 respectively.
4. It is further stated that the Unit was again inspected on 3.5.2013 and further directions had been issued vide Boards letter no. D-2477 dated 12.08.2013.
5. Petitioner alleges that in spite of various directions issued by the JSPCB, the intervenor-Maithon Power Ltd. is still polluting and its fly ash coming out from power generation have an adverse impact to the water and also to the agriculture.
6. Learned counsel for the intervenor-Maithon Power Ltd.
submitted that the Maithon Power Plant is generating 1050 MW power strictly in compliance with all pollution norms and the allegations made by the petitioner in the 'Public Interest Litigation' are baseless. Next contention of the intervener is that this 'Public Interest Litigation' has been filed only in respect of Bee-hive Hard Coke Plant and the intervening-petitioner has not been made respondent in this 'Public Interest Litigation'.
7. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, we direct the Jharkhand State Pollution Control Board to inspect and file a fresh report keeping in view the various parameters required to be complied with and also to inspect whether fly ash discharged from the power generating company (Maithon Power Ltd.) is within the permissible limits and whether it has got any adverse impact on the environment, air, water and its effects on agriculture. If need be, JSPCB to engage the services of the expert. So far as other units i.e. Bee-hive Hard Coke Plant and other industries operating within the District of Dhanbad is concerned, the JSPCB shall also file a latest report as to whether in compliance of the required pollution laws by individual companies any action is being taken for such non-compliance.
Post this matter after eight weeks.
Copy of this order be given to Pollution Control Board.

This is not a recommendation! This is a much more complicated procedure than we wish to recommend to anyone. A great deal of thought went into the design of the Firefox extension, which is safer and better because of the way Mozilla has designed and maintained it's webextension privacy API's. Moreover, Chrome is bad for the Internet. So is Google. If you must, absolutely must, use Chrome, then you are part of a different anonymity set, and in all likelihood, unique. You are subject to changes in the way Chrome is configured, including possibly unstable command-line flags which you might use to configure the proxy. This procedure does not make these risks, which are inherent to the use of Chromium, any greater or lesser, rather it teaches you to encapsulate a Chromium-based browsing profile for I2P which is the best that is possible to create with technology available across all Chromium variants. Also use Chromium or even better, ungoogled-chromium because Chrome is an advertising delivery vehicle with trivial browser-like characteristics.
This is an EXPERIMENTAL Procedure.
You should not enable the use of a google account or plugin syncing for this profile. If you see something like these:
Say no, otherwise you will be sharing your profile data with google!
This solution is probably the easiest for the majority of people, but it may not have the best privacy characteristics because it relies on API's and tooling that Google makes available via extensions, which is pretty narrow.
Step 1: Create an I2P Browsing Profile
Step 2: Install Extension on profile
This solution uses a shell script to wrap the Chromium executable and apply I2P-ready settings.
 Of particular note are
the --user-data-dir=$CHROMIUM_I2P
flag, which forces Chromium to treat
a new directory as the user data directory and prevents your clearnet Chromium
profile from polluting your I2P Chromium profile, and
--proxy-server="http://<IP_ADDRESS>:4444" --proxy-bypass-list=<IP_ADDRESS>:7657
which configure Chromium to use I2P's HTTP Proxy for everything except for
router console administration. The rest is just disabling telemetry and features
which may be fingerprintable in an effort to reduce the granularity available to
an attacker trying to measure Chromium.
Step 2: To also add a shortcut for incognito mode, create another file named /usr/bin/chromium-i2p-incognito with the following contents:
#! /usr/bin/env sh
# Launches Chromium, pre-configured for I2P
#
CHROMIUM_I2P="$HOME/i2p/chromium"
mkdir -p "$CHROMIUM_I2P"
/usr/bin/chromium-i2p --incognito \
$@

--- layout: post title: Adeline Records Store ---
I recently wrapped up another project and after the initial traffic surge I'm happy to share with the world.
Adeline Records wanted a new online store. They had been using x-cart and although quite popular, it is a mess to administrate and the default templates are quite ugly. It wasn't hard to see why they wanted to make the change.
After a bit of research we decided to go with Spree. Magento was too much and almost everything else we found was old and outdated. Spree, unlike most open source e-commerce packages, runs on Ruby on Rails. This was one of my first RoR projects so it was a bit of a learning experience. Spree is a great project and has TONS of flexibility to change things around to just the way you need.
It was a fun project and hopefully it will continue to grow and change. I look forward to doing more Spree development soon.
Take a look at the finished product: store.adelinerecords.net

I joined the Marion Group Of Schools when I was in class one in the year 2008
I studied there untill class six which I transffered to the other branch of the school called Marion Farmhouse where I actually started my scouting
In in the year 2016 I joined THE ALLIANCE HIGH SCHOOL
I cleared in the year 2019 and through the course of my year I joined the scouting society and was the Troop leader I also joined the rugby team and was the Sevens Vice-captain
One of my major intrests is that I love learning new things for example music where i do play the piano and now I am taking coding classes .Also another intrest is that I do love meeting many new people and create connections and networks
One of my main hobbies is that I play the piano I started playing in class 6 and I even went for a competiton abroad which I did really well .I also play football a lot and I was very active in sports back in high school and I played rugby .Also I am a gamer. Fifa is my best game and others such as Mortal combat and Taken are also my favourites I am actually planning to sign up for the EA sports FIfA 20 tornament
Another life skill is that I have learned some domestic wiring and I can really help with anything concerning electricity as I have done this before at home and on numerous occasions
Another reason is that I realized that having this coding skills can help me really much especially when I need a side hustle and require money


Download a free copy of Python in Education . Editor's note: this is an excerpt from Python in Education, a free report written by Nicholas Tollervey.
I am going to answer a very simple question: which features of the Python language itself make it appropriate for education? This will involve learning a little Python and reading some code. But don’t worry if you’re not a coder! This chapter will hopefully open your eyes to how easy it is to learn Python (and thus, why it is such a popular choice as a teaching language).
Code readability
When I write a to-do list on a piece of paper, it looks something like this:
Shopping
Fix broken gutter
Mow the lawn
This is an obvious list of items. If I wanted to break down my to-do list a bit further, I might write something like this:
Shopping:
Eggs
Bacon
Tomatoes
Fix broken gutter:
Borrow ladder from next door
Find hammer and nails
Return ladder!
Mow the lawn:
Check lawn around pond for frogs
Check mower fuel level
Intuitively, we understand that the main tasks are broken down into sub-tasks that are indented underneath the main task to which they relate. This makes it easy to see, at a glance, how the tasks relate to each other.
This is called scoping.
Indenting in this manner is also how Python organizes the various tasks defined in Python programs. For example, the following code simply says that there is a function called say_hello that asks the user to input their name, and then &mdsh you guessed it — prints a friendly greeting:
def say_hello():
name = input('What is your name? ')
print('Hello, ' + name)
Here’s this code in action (including my user input):
What is your name? Nicholas
Hello, Nicholas
[caption id="attachment_75689" align="alignleft" width="233"] Download the free ebook. [/caption]
Notice how the lines of code implementing the say_hello function are indented just like the to-do list. Furthermore, each instruction in the code is on its own line. The code is easy to read and understand: it is obvious which lines of code relate to each other just by looking at the way the code is indented.
Most other computer languages use syntactic symbols rather than indentation to indicate scope. For example, many languages such as Java, JavaScript, and C use curly braces and semicolons for this purpose.
Why is this important?
If, like me, you have taught students with English as an additional language or who have a special educational need such as dyslexia, then you will realize that Python’s intuitive indentation is something people the world over understand (no matter their linguistic background). A lack of confusing symbols such as '{', '}' and ';' scattered around the code also make it a lot easier to read Python code. Such indentation rules also guide how the code should look when you write it down — the students intuitively understand how to present their work.
Compared to most other languages, Python’s syntax (how it is written) is simple and easy to understand. For example, the following code written using the Perl programming language will look for duplicate words in a text document:
print "$.: doubled $_\n" while /\b(\w+)\b\s+\b\1\b/gi
Can you work out how Perl does this?
(In Perl’s defense, it is an amazingly powerful programming language with a different set of aims and objectives than Python. That’s the point — you wouldn’t try to teach a person how to read with James Joyce’s Ulysses , despite it being widely regarded as one of the top English-language novels of the 20th century.)
Put simply, because you don’t have to concentrate on how to read or write Python code, you can put more effort into actually understanding it. Anything that lowers the effort required to engage in programming is a good thing in an educational context (actually, one could argue that this is true in all contexts).
Obvious simplicity
The simple core concepts and knowledge required to write Python code will get you quite far. That they are easy to learn, use, and remember is another characteristic in Python’s favor. Furthermore, Python is an obvious programming language — it tries to do the expected thing and will complain if you, the programmer, attempt to do something clearly wrong. It’s also obvious in a second sense — it names various concepts using commonly understood English words.
Consider the following two examples:
In some languages, if you want to create a list of things, you have to use variously named constructs such as arrays, arraylists, vectors, and collections. In Python, you use something called a list. Here’s my to-do list from earlier written in Python:
todo_list = ['Shopping', 'Fix broken gutter', 'Mow the lawn']
This code assigns a list of values (strings of characters containing words that describe tasks in my to-do list) to an object named todo_list (which I can reuse later to refer to this specific list of items).
In some languages, if you want to create a data dictionary that allows you to store and look up named values (a basic key/value store), you’d use constructs called hashtables, associative arrays, maps, or tables. In Python, you use something called a dictionary. Here’s a data dictionary of a small selection of random capital cities:
capital_cities = {
'China': 'Beijing'
'Germany': 'Berlin',
'Greece': 'Athens',
'Russia': 'Moscow',
'United Kingdom': 'London',
}
I’ve simply assigned the dictionary to the capital_cities object. If I want to look up a capital city for a certain country, I reference the county’s name in square brackets next to the object named capital_cities :
capital_cities['China']
'Beijing'
Many programming languages have data structures that work like Python’s lists and dictionaries; some of them do the obvious thing and call such constructs “lists” and “dictionaries”; some other languages make using such constructs as easy and obvious as Python (although many don’t). Python’s advantage is that it does all three of these things : it has useful data structures as a core part of the language, it gives them obvious names, and makes them extraordinarily easy to use. Such usefulness, simplicity, and clarity is another case of removing barriers to engaging with programming.
As mentioned earlier, Python also does the expected thing. For example, if I try to sum together an empty dictionary and an empty list (something that’s obviously wrong — evidence that I’ve misunderstood what I’m trying to do) Python will complain:
>>> {} + []
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "


The classic Assert model uses a separate method to express each individual assertion of which it is capable.
Here's a simple assert using the classic model:
StringAssert.AreEqualIgnoringCase( "Hello", myString );
The Assert class provides the most commonly used assertions. For convenience of presentation, we group Assert methods as follows:
Beyond the basic facilities of Assert, additional assertions are provided by the following classes:

perl5142delta - what is new for perl v5.14.2
This document describes differences between the 5.14.1 release and the 5.14.2
release.
If you are upgrading from an earlier release such as 5.14.0, first
read perl5141delta, which describes differences between 5.14.0 and
5.14.1.
Calling "File::Glob::bsd_glob" with the
unsupported flag GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC would cause an access violation / segfault. A
Perl program that accepts a flags value from an external source could expose
itself to denial of service or arbitrary code execution attacks. There are no
known exploits in the wild. The problem has been corrected by explicitly
disabling all unsupported flags and setting unused function pointers to null.
Bug reported by Clement Lecigne.
A bug in "Encode" could, on certain inputs,
cause the heap to overflow. This problem has been corrected. Bug reported by
Robert Zacek.
There are no changes intentionally incompatible with 5.14.0. If any exist, they
are bugs and reports are welcome.
There have been no deprecations since 5.14.0.
- CPAN has been upgraded from version 1.9600 to version 1.9600_01.
CPAN::Distribution has been upgraded from version 1.9602 to
1.9602_01.
Backported bugfixes from CPAN version 1.9800. Ensures proper
detection of "configure_requires"
prerequisites from CPAN Meta files in the case where
"dynamic_config" is true. [rt.cpan.org
#68835]
Also ensures that
"configure_requires" is only checked
in META files, not MYMETA files, so protect against MYMETA generation
that drops "configure_requires".
- Encode has been upgraded from version 2.42 to 2.42_01.
See "Security".
- File::Glob has been upgraded from version 1.12 to version 1.13.
See "Security".
- PerlIO::scalar has been upgraded from version 0.11 to 0.11_01.
It fixes a problem with "open my $fh,
">", \$scalar" not working if
$scalar is a copy-on-write scalar.
- HP-UX PA-RISC/64 now supports gcc-4.x
- A fix to correct the socketsize now makes the test suite pass on HP-UX
PA-RISC for 64bitall builds.
- Building on OS X 10.7 Lion and Xcode 4 works again
- The build system has been updated to work with the build tools under Mac
OS X 10.7.
- In @INC filters (subroutines returned by
subroutines in @INC), $_
used to misbehave: If returned from a subroutine, it would not be copied,
but the variable itself would be returned; and freeing
$_ (e.g., with "undef
*_") would cause perl to crash. This has been fixed [perl
#91880].
- Perl 5.10.0 introduced some faulty logic that made "U*" in the
middle of a pack template equivalent to "U0" if the input string
was empty. This has been fixed [perl #90160].
- "caller" no longer leaks memory when
called from the DB package if @DB::args was
assigned to after the first call to
"caller". Carp was triggering this bug
[perl #97010].
- "utf8::decode" had a nasty bug that
would modify copy-on-write scalars' string buffers in place (i.e.,
skipping the copy). This could result in hashes having two elements with
the same key [perl #91834].
- Localising a tied variable used to make it read-only if it contained a
copy-on-write string.
- Elements of restricted hashes (see the fields pragma) containing
copy-on-write values couldn't be deleted, nor could such hashes be cleared
("%hash = ()").
- Locking a hash element that is a glob copy no longer causes subsequent
assignment to it to corrupt the glob.
- A panic involving the combination of the regular expression modifiers
"/aa" introduced in 5.14.0 and the
"\b" escape sequence has been fixed
[perl #95964].
This is a list of some significant unfixed bugs, which are regressions from
5.12.0.
- •
- "PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT" is broken.
Since perl 5.14.0, building with
"-DPERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT" hasn't been
possible. This means that perl currently doesn't work on any platforms
that require it to be built this way, including Symbian.
While "PERL_GLOBAL_STRUCT"
now works again on recent development versions of perl, it actually
working on Symbian again hasn't been verified.
We'd be very interested in hearing from anyone working with
Perl on Symbian.
Perl 5.14.2 represents approximately three months of development since Perl
5.14.1 and contains approximately 1200 lines of changes across 61 files from 9
authors.
Perl continues to flourish into its third decade thanks to a
vibrant community of users and developers. The following people are known to
have contributed the improvements that became Perl 5.14.2:
Craig A. Berry, David Golden, Father Chrysostomos, Florian
Ragwitz, H.Merijn Brand, Karl Williamson, Nicholas Clark, Pau Amma and
Ricardo Signes.
