China's Jingye forges rescue deal for British Steel
LONDON: Chinese industrial giant Jingye Group has agreed to buy bankrupt British Steel for an undisclosed amount, the official receiver said on Monday (Nov 11) in a rescue deal that saves thousands of jobs.
Jingye added separately that it would invest £1.2 billion (US$1.5 billion) over the next decade to place the business, which collapsed in May, on a competitive and sustainable footing.
"The Official Receiver and Special Managers from EY can confirm that a sales contract has been entered into with Jingye Steel (UK) Ltd and Jingye Steel (UK) Holding Ltd to acquire the business and assets of British Steel Limited," read a statement.
A source had already confirmed to AFP that a deal was in the works earlier on Monday, amid press reports that Jingye would pay £70 million.
Jingye will purchase British Steel's sprawling steelworks at Scunthorpe, northern England, as well as its other UK mills.
The deal also includes the company's stakes in Dutch steelmaker FN Steel, British Steel France, and specialist UK manufacturer TSP Engineering.
'PRESERVING THOUSANDS OF JOBS'
Some 5,000 people are employed by British Steel, which had collapsed into liquidation in May, while another 20,000 jobs have links to its supply chain.
A total 4,000 British Steel staff work in the UK, with an additional 1,000 based in France and the Netherlands.
Jingye added that the deal will save "thousands of jobs" in Britain, as the pair will together form a global giant.
"The agreement will see the two businesses combine to create a world class steelmaking group with global scale and ambition," Jingye said.
"The combination will bring together expertise from both businesses to help secure a long-term future for British Steel's operations through the continued production of high-quality steel products.
"A completed sale will also preserve thousands of jobs in a key foundation industry for the UK."
Jingye plans to invest £1.2 billion over the next ten years in upgrading the plants and machinery, improving environmental performance and boosting energy efficiency, as it seeks to ensure the group's "long-term sustainable future".
The business will continue to trade as normal until completion, which is conditional on a regulatory approvals.
Greybull Capital created British Steel, a maker of long steel products, in 2016 after snapping up assets from Tata Steel.
In October, Turkish military fund OYAK had pulled out of a deal to rescue British Steel, whose owners Greybull had blamed Brexit for its financial collapse.
CHEAP ASIAN STEEL IMPORTS
The European Steel Association has urged the EU to help the bloc's struggling sector, which it said has been swamped by cheap steel from Asia since the US imposed import tariffs in 2018.
Although it did not take the steel producer into state ownership, the UK government said in May that it would keep paying staff wages in the hope that a buyer could be found.
Long steel products include plates, rails for railways, sections used in construction, and wire rod. The latter can be used as steel rope for infrastructure like suspension bridges or filaments for car tyres to give rigidity.
China's Hebei-based Jingye Group specialises in iron and steel, but has investments in tourism, hotels and real estate.
According to its website, it has total assets of 39 billion yuan (US$5.5 billion) and 23,500 employees.
"We have long admired British Steel and appreciate its illustrious heritage," added Jingye Group Chairman Li Ganpo on Monday,
"We share with the thousands of British Steel workers a passion for this industry and we are determined that together we can transform this business.?

1 Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, "You men who are going to punish this city, bring your tools of destruction here."
2 Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. He carried at his side a case containing things to write with. They all came in and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Then the glory that symbolized the presence of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple, and Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,
4 and said to him, "Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city."
5 While I was listening, he said to the other six men, "Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.
6 Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children; but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple."  Start now!" So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.
8 While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, "Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the other people of Israel who are still alive, while you are severely punishing the people of Jerusalem?"
9 He replied, "The sins of the people are numerous and severe! There is murder everywhere in this country, and this city is full of people who act unjustly. They say, 'Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not see what we are doing.'
10 So I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people."
11 Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, "I have done what you commanded me to do."

With that cold virus still lingering days after beginning this London adventure, Kitt and I venture on for A Night at The Ledbury!
Like at Lyle’s, I chose to forego the wine pairing. It pains me a bit since we’ve learned that The Ledbury is highly rated for its wine selection. Well, on Foursquare, it is. (And as we’d learn later, one of the sommeliers was a Vancouver native!)
We were given a choice between an a la carte menu or the tasting menu. As is likely no surprise to anybody, we went with the tasting menu.
In quick succession came a trio of canapés. All three of which were delicious and a sign that this evening was going to be amazing.
All of the dishes at the Ledbury were consistently good. The oyster to start was delicious. The Agen Prune was phenomenal. I enjoyed the deer served three ways. The cheek was tender. The tongue a bit tougher but still prepared well. And lastly bone marrow that was delicious.
We overstuffed ourselves by adding a cheese course. We probably could have skipped the cheese. Their cheese selection was okay but not phenomenal.
The desserts included a passionfruit curd—the palette cleanser, and a satisfying one at that.  They even brought us extra donuts. Yup, we definitely left stuffed.
We mentioned to the waiter that we were doing this food adventure, as we had at The Clove Club. At the end of the meal, they offered to have us meet the chef, Jake Leach, and we kindly took them up on the offer. The kitchen at the Ledbury is in the basement and surprisingly small given the size of the restaurant. It’s amazing what they put together in such a small space. I really enjoyed meeting the kitchen staff and chatting with them. The whole team seemed so young! But I think it’s likely a sign that I’m getting older.
I highly recommend the Ledbury. If you ever find yourself in London, it’s worth the trip.

Background:
St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation’s mission is to provide St. Paul’s Hospital with the funding needed to remain at the forefront of innovative patient care, medical research, and education. In order to remain competitive in the nonprofit sector, the Foundation hosts a variety of annual campaigns such as Lights of Hope, and Brilliant to raise funds.
Working in contact with St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation, I was challenged with creating a brand to represent their new peer to peer giving program. This program's objectives were to strengthen their level 1 donor base and introduce the concept of social fundraising to current donors and young adults living in communities around the hospital. Additionally it was required that the identity remained unified with the St. Paul’s Hospital brand, yet not interfere with existing seasonal fundraising campaigns.
I created the Together Fund brand to represent an outlet for compassionate people to boost their generosity by rallying their friends to donate to a great cause and help bring their community together. The name and tagline became a direct translation of that idea; to communicate we can achieve more united as a network of givers, lead by a shared vision of helping others.
An encouraging personality and playful, yet adaptable visual style encourages viewers to explore their potential to express themselves and inspire giving. While an energizing colour scheme serves to distinguish the program from competitive offerings, and maintain ties to the St. Paul’s Foundation brand. The core messaging and photographic style was conceived to clearly communicate the concept of the program, breaking barriers of audience doubt.
To embody the power of this giving community, a name, visual identity, microsite, email template, social media strategy and magazine advertisement were created.
Delivering Together Fund was a fantastic experience not only because we dealt with a real client, but also worked with a not-for-profit brand that forced me to carefully construct messaging that would inspire giving rather than purchasing. Fellow students, our client representative and my instructor agreed the messaging was well thought out and effectively communicated the peer to peer concept; that if implemented, would serve St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation well.

Mum Used Dog To Keep Her Three Kids Prisoner In Home For 10 Years
by Julia BanimA woman from Russia used a vicious dog to keep her kids imprisoned within their home for 10 years.
Dina Azizova, 55, from the city of Ust-Katav in Chelyabinsk Oblast, refused to let her three children – referred to in reports as Darina, 20, Damir, 15 and Alina Aliev, 11 – leave the house for a decade.
The children, who did not attend school, had been kept locked inside the house and were only allowed out into the garden under the supervision of an aggressive dog.
On November 6, Azizova contacted the Ust-Katav police department to report all three of her children had been kidnapped.
Officers conducted a search, and the three siblings were found the very same day. However, officers realised there was more to the story when the kids revealed they didn’t want to return home.
Local media sources reported the siblings had deliberately ran away from their home while their mother was out at the store, as she had been keeping them as prisoners there.
They explained they were kept from escaping from the property because of the fierce guard dog, with security cameras fitted all over the property hampering any potential attempts to escape.
After Azizova discovered her children had in fact not been kidnapped but had run away of their own accord, she reportedly told local police officers:
You may put me in jail if you want to, but I wanted the best for them all the time.
As reported by RT, neither Azizova’s neighbours or the authorities knew about the siblings’ imprisonment.
The following morning, Azizova reportedly set fire to the house where she had kept her children locked up, before committing suicide.
Darina, Damir, and Alina Aliev are reportedly now being cared for in hospital, where they are receiving psychological treatment following their long ordeal.

Apple Hosting App-Focussed Event in New York on December 2nd
by Charlotte HenryApple is going to host a media event on December 2nd. An invite sent out Monday indicated that the event will focus on apps.
Focus on Apps
It seems the event will highlight some of the apps that were most popular throughout 2019. Apple does usually share the details of the best performers in the run-up to the holidays. The event seems to be a continuation of that. Journalist Lance Ulanoff tweeted out his invite:
Looking at the invite, it seems unlikely we will get any hardware announcements – although there could always be a surprise!

Class: NoFilter
| Defined in: | src/index.coffee |
| Inherits: | stream.Transform |
Property Summary
- (Number) length Readonly
- The number of bytes currently available to read
Class Method Summary
- . (Boolean) isNoFilter(obj) Is the given object a NoFilter?
- . (Number) compare(nf1, nf2) The same as nf1.compare(nf2).
- . (Buffer) concat(list, length) Returns a buffer which is the result of concatenating all the NoFilters in the list together.
Instance Method Summary
- # (String, Buffer, null) read(size) The read() method pulls some data out of the internal buffer and returns it.
- # (void) promise(cb) Return a promise fulfilled with the full contents, after the 'finish' event fires.
- # (Number) compare(other) Returns a number indicating whether this comes before or after or is the same as the other NoFilter in sort order.
- # (Boolean) equals(other) Do these NoFilter's contain the same bytes? Doesn't work if either is in object mode.
- # (Buffer,Array) slice(start, end) Read bytes or objects without consuming them.
- # (Number) get(index) Get a byte by offset.
- # (Object) toJSON() Return an object compatible with Buffer's toJSON implementation, so that round-tripping will produce a Buffer.
- # (String) toString(encoding, start, end) Decodes and returns a string from buffer data encoded using the specified character set encoding.
Class Method Details
.
(Boolean)
isNoFilter(obj)
Is the given object a NoFilter?
.
(Number)
compare(nf1, nf2)
The same as nf1.compare(nf2). Useful for sorting an Array of NoFilters: var arr = [new NoFilter('1234'), new NoFilter('0123')]; arr.sort(Buffer.compare);
.
(Buffer)
concat(list, length)
Returns a buffer which is the result of concatenating all the NoFilters in the list together. If the list has no items, or if the totalLength is 0, then it returns a zero-length buffer.
If length is not provided, it is read from the buffers in the list. However, this adds an additional loop to the function, so it is faster to provide the length explicitly.
Constructor Details
#
(void)
constructor(input, inputEncoding, options = {})
Create a NoFilter. Allow passing in source data (input, inputEncoding) at creation time. Source data can also be passed in the options object.
Instance Method Details
#
(String, Buffer, null)
read(size)
The read() method pulls some data out of the internal buffer and returns it. If there is no data available, then it will return null.
If you pass in a size argument, then it will return that many bytes. If size bytes are not available, then it will return null, unless we've ended, in which case it will return the data remaining in the buffer.
If you do not specify a size argument, then it will return all the data in the internal buffer.
This version also fires the 'read' event upon a successful read.
#
(void)
promise(cb)
Return a promise fulfilled with the full contents, after the 'finish' event fires. Errors on the stream cause the promise to be rejected.
#
(Number)
compare(other)
Returns a number indicating whether this comes before or after or is the same as the other NoFilter in sort order.
#
(Boolean)
equals(other)
Do these NoFilter's contain the same bytes? Doesn't work if either is in object mode.
#
(Buffer,Array)
slice(start, end)
Read bytes or objects without consuming them. Useful for diagnostics. Note: as a side-effect, concatenates multiple writes together into what looks like a single write, so that this concat doesn't have to happen multiple times when you're futzing with the same NoFilter.
#
(Number)
get(index)
Get a byte by offset. I didn't want to get into metaprogramming
to give you the NoFilter[0]
syntax.
#
(Object)
toJSON()
Return an object compatible with Buffer's toJSON implementation, so that round-tripping will produce a Buffer.
Examples:
output for 'foo'
{ type: 'Buffer', data: [ 102, 111, 111 ] }
#
(String)
toString(encoding, start, end)
Decodes and returns a string from buffer data encoded using the specified character set encoding. If encoding is undefined or null, then encoding defaults to 'utf8'. The start and end parameters default to 0 and NoFilter.length when undefined.


Janice's Notes
The World Wide Web
The World Wide Web is a collection of document pages stored on computers called servers. Indivual computers can access Web pages through the internet using http. The Udacity Video provides a nice introduction to the web. Also this Wikipedia page provides a historical overview.
HTML
HTML is the coding language that most of the pages on the web are written in. The full name for HTML is hypertext markup language.
Tags are shortcuts that tell the browser how to display a page. Html is written by having an opening tag, then the contents and then the closing tag. Tags can be inline such as a, span, br, ing, stong or block div, p, form . Inline means the code works within the line and block means it draws an invisible block around the text.
Stupid Computers
Another main point to remember is that computers take everything literal. A little typo can mess up the entire page.

Grid Basics
Foundation for Emails includes many common elements needed to make HTML emails: a grid, typography styles, buttons, callouts, and more.
The markup required to create HTML emails that work in all email clients is complicated, and involves writing many tables. However, all of Foundation's components are thoroughly tested in every major email client, including the problematic ones like Outlook. The rigid structure ensures your designs don't look off in any email client.
Let's start by building a basic grid. To do that, we need three pieces: a container, a row, and then some columns.
Container
Most Foundation for Emails components are full tables, including the container. Inside the
tag of index.html
, add this table code:

The container will wrap the body of your entire email. It applies a maximum width to the body of the email. Every email needs this bit of boilerplate.
Row
Next, let's build the grid itself, starting with the row. Rows group columns together into a unit. Inside of your container, add this table:

Columns
Columns divide your layout into horizontal sections that sit side-by-side. On small screens, these columns stack on top of each other to save space—unless you set them up to keep their layout on small screens.
Inside of your row (the innermost

), add one column using this code:

Column One

In the above example, we used the classes .small-12
and .large-6
to define the size of the column on small vs. large email clients. Foundation uses a 12-column grid, so on mobile clients, the column stretches the full width of the page, and on desktop clients, the column is half the width of the row.
Since this first column is half-width, we need a second one to go with it. After the
for the first column, add the code for the second column:

Column One

Column Two

You may have noticed the .first
and .last
classes on the column. The first column in a row needs the .first
class, and the last column in a row needs the .last
class. This is explained more in the First and Last Classes section of the grid documentation.
That's a lot of HTML! Let's look at what it is at a high level:

The CSS classes are always on the outermost table element, so that's an easy way to identify where a component starts. The container starts at the table with the .container
class, the row starts at the table with the .row
class, and so on.
Inlining
Now that we have a basic email, the last thing we need to do before we can send it is inline it. This is the process of injecting all of the CSS for the email into the HTML, so that it works as a self-contained file.
Email clients like Gmail and Outlook strip out

Prompt tuning, in which a base pretrained model is adapted to each task via conditioning on learned prompt vectors,
has emerged as a promising approach for the efficient adaptation of large language models to multiple downstream tasks.
However, existing methods typically learn soft prompt vectors from scratch,
and it has not been clear how to exploit the rich cross-task knowledge in task-specific prompt vectors to improve performance on target downstream tasks.
In this paper, we propose multitask prompt tuning (MPT),
which first learns a single transferable prompt by decomposing and distilling knowledge from multiple task-specific source prompts.
We then learn multiplicative low rank updates to this shared prompt to efficiently adapt it to each downstream target task.
Extensive experiments on 21 NLP datasets demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods,
including the full finetuning baseline in some cases, despite only tuning 0.035% as many task-specific parameters.
Qualitative Results
Performance on GLUE and SuperGLUE shows great parameter efficiency of MPT, which outperforms all the existing prompt tuning methods and full model finetuning (FT), despite updating much fewer task-specific parameters.

There are two ways to leverage ActionBarSherlock in your projects:
library/
folder as the existing source. Then, in your project properties, add the created project under the ‘Libraries’ section of the ‘Android’ category.If you use maven to build your Android project you can simply add a dependency for this library.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.actionbarsherlock</groupId>
<artifactId>library</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<type>apklib</type>
</dependency>
Make sure you also include r.jakewharton.com/maven/release/ in the repositories section of your pom.xml
.
Note: If you were previously using the Android compatability library you must remove its .jar
. ActionBarSherlock is built on top of the compatability library and comes bundled with its classes.

WordPress + Flask + Apache
Wed, 25 Jan 2017 @ Programming
Problem :
You have a WordPress site, with Apache 2 server. How do you run Flask application alongside your WordPress site ?
Solution :
I assume that you have already created python program for your flask app. Let say your main python flask app filename is testapp.py
1. Get wsgi mod for Apache web server. Use package installer.
In Ubuntu case :
apt install libapache2-mod-wsgi
What is WSGI (web server gateway interface) ? It’s how your webserver ‘talks’ to your application.
App’s output/input needs some kind of connection with the webserver so that this output/input can be channeled back/to the user’s browser request. This is where WSGI comes into picture.
2. Create wsgi file for your application. This will be located at the same level as your main flask app python file because we will call our flask app from this wsgi file.
import sys from testapp import app
sys.path.insert(0,'/directory-path-to-your-app')
Note : testapp is your main python flask app file (that consists of your Flask app entry point) and app is your Flask app that you define in your testapp.py
Save this file as testapp.wsgi
3. Modify your Apache conf file. Normally it’s located in site-enabled
folder at /etc/apache2/
Append the following within <VirtualHost></VirtualHost>
tags.
WSGIScriptAlias /flaskroot /directory-path-to-your-testapp.wsgi
<Directory /directory-path-to-your-app>
Require all granted
</Directory>
Note: flaskroot
is the root link where your app will be accessed from the browser. It can be any name/link but obviously it can not be at the same location as your WordPress homepage link or other links that are generated by the WordPress (blog posts, pages, categories)
This is the simplest way to modify your Apache conf file. If you need more secured way to do this, you can follow flask apache deployment
4. Reload your Apache server
sudo service apache2 reload
5. Try to access your flask app via the link on your browser to see if what you have done is working.
Let say you define helloworld function in testapp.py that prints out strings in your browser.
Based on this example here, you can access the app as follows : http://your-site/flaskroot/helloworld


We have partnered with Bush Broadband to deliver a community broadband solution right here in Worcestershire. Bush Broadband provide wireless broadband technologies to rural customers with limited broadband access.
We located a field which had a tree at a high point and could be seen by most households in the area. This would work perfectly to be a relay to supply over the air broadband to our community. This was an interesting install as we had to mount a pole to our tree to then mount the Ubiquiti devices to the pole. See here. We then got permission from a nearby Pub which had fibre broadband to act as our broadband host. We then mounted a Ubuquiti Litebeam 5AC to the Pub roof and used the antenna align tool to align the two Litebeam devices. The Litebeam device on the tree then was connected to another Litebeam 5AC blade device to allow households to get a connection to this device with a much wider Vertical Azimuth.
We had to use a Cherry Picker to get to the tree top as the distance was over 20m.

Thanks to modern technology, Google street view now stretches just about everywhere. Even the lonely street in South Africa where I grew up in the 80s and 90s. Here is the house my dad built. It appears relatively unchanged. The only difference I can see is that the current occupants have removed the lopsided Christmas tree we used to have in the front yard. Over the years we lived there, my dad added a dining room and deck, servants quarters, and a swimming pool out back. Yeah, I know how it sounds but this is Africa we’re talking about here, not Vancouver where you’d be lucky if your $400,000 apartment came with a washer and dryer.

This package contains some support for testing GRIN. The "Ryan" you'll see referenced comes from a demo called "Ryan's Life". GRIN was originally developed by Sun for the Ryan's Life demo produced by Sun and Technicolor. Originally, it was run on an MHP set top box to demonstrate Java in a television environment.
This package contains generic testing code. In the directory "bigjdk", you'll find classes to support running GRIN using desktop Java (formally Java SE). At the time of this writing, a BD-J xlet version of the "Ryan's Life" test was not provided, but by the time you read this there may be a BD-J xlet version in a different subpackage.
To see how to launch GRIN on Java SE, see the com.hdcookbook.grin.test.bigjdk package documentation.
"Ryan's Life" was never intended to show optimal coding practices for the platform, so please don't take it that way. In a real title, significantly more attention would be paid to things like the organization of assets and player performance levels, in order to guarantee timely behavior.

Police searching for missing Summerville teen
by Patrick PhillipsCHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Police are asking for the public’s help to locate a missing 15-year-old girl who disappeared Wednesday.
An incident report states Alyssa Williams was shopping with her mother at the Summerville Walmart when she told her mother she had to use the restroom. She did not return.
Her mother called police and while police were speaking with her, Williams called from a nearby motel, the report states. Police say the teen then went to the BJ’s wholesale store where she borrowed the cell phone of an employee there to contact two phone numbers. Police are still working to identify those numbers, the report states.
The store employee told police after Williams made the calls, a red truck arrived in the parking lot area and someone in the truck gave her a pink cell phone.
Anyone with information on Williams whereabouts should contact Summerville Police at<PHONE_NUMBER>

ico - Reading and writing windows icons
This package provides functions for reading and writing Windows icons from ICO, EXE, DLL, ICL, and BMP files. As used in this module an icon is a visual representation of an object. An icon consists of one or more images usually with varying resolution and color depth. Each icon and image has a resource identifier which may be a text string or a positive integer value. Most commands use this identifier to specify which icon or image to operate on.
Returns a list of icons found in file where each element is the name or numeric ID. Recognizes the following options:
Returns a list of images that make up the icon with ID name. Each element is itself a sublist in the format {name width height bpp}. Recognizes the following options:
Extracts the icon with ID name from file. The default -format is image which will return the name of a Tk image containing the icon. The resolution and color depth are selected with the ?-res?, ?-bpp?, and ?-exact? options. If -exact is specified and there is no exact match, an error is thrown. Optionally -image may be used to specify the name of the Tk image that is created. If -format is colors then a list of color names in the #RRGGBB format is returned. Each list element is a horizontal row. Each horizontal row contains a list of colors for all the pixels in that row from left to right. If -format is name then the resource name of the image chosen is returned. This is useful for calling writeIcon or getIconByName. Recognizes the following options.
Extracts the image with ID name from file. This name should be the name of a specific image as returned by ::ico::iconMembers, not an icon name returned from ::ico::icons. If there is no matching resource ID in file an error is thrown. Recognizes the following options:
This command is only functional when running under Windows. It reads the Windows registry to determine the display icon for file as it would appear in Explorer or similar. file does not need to exist and may also be specified as a file extension with a leading dot. If file is a directory or you specify the special name Folder then the icon representing a folder is returned. This command takes the same arguments and usage as getIcon:
Writes an image to file. name is the resource identifier of the image in file to write. When writing to an EXE, DLL, or ICL file you may only overwrite existing icons with an icon of the same dimensions and color depth. No icons may be added to these file types.
When writing to BMP the name is ignored as this type can contain only one image. This means if the file already existed it is completely overwritten.
When writing to an ICO or ICODATA file if the name specified does not exist then an image is appended and will be named the next in sequence (the specified name is ignored). Images in ICO and ICODATA files may be overwritten with differing dimensions or color depths. Note that you will get strange results when displaying icons if you fail to change every image which makes up a given icon.
This argument must have a value of 1, 4, 8, 24, or 32. If data has more colors than the color depth allows an error will be generated.
This argument is either a list of colors in the format returned by ::ico::getIcon -format colors or the name of a Tk image.
Recognizes the following options.
Copies the icon at index in file to index2 in file2.
Extracts all icons from the executable file to ICO files placed in dir. ?dir? defaults to the directory file is located in. Icon files will be named in the form file-ID.ico where ID is the icon resource identifier.
The ::ico::getIconList command caches icon offsets inside EXE, DLL, ICL, and ICO files in order to speed up extraction. This command clears that cache for the specific ?file? or all files.
If image is a single word it is assumed to be the name of a Tk image. All pixels matching color in the image will be set transparent. Alternatively, image may be a color list in which case a modified list is returned.
Application level command which displays a window showing all the icons in file and their name.
button .explore -image [::ico::getIcon explorer.exe 0 -name explore -res 16 -bpp 8] set i [lsearch -inline [::ico::iconMembers tclkit.exe 0] {* 32 32 8}] set colorlist [::ico::getIconByName tclkit.exe [lindex $i 0] -format colors]
Icons may not be added or removed from file types other than ICO. Icons in these files may only be replaced with icons of the same dimensions and color depth.
Icons of 8bpp or lower must include black in the pallete, this means if your icon does not have black in it, you will need to leave a color free so that it may be included by writeIcon.
There is currently no way to read alpha channel information from 32bpp icons.
Tk images do not have an alpha channel so the only way to write a true 32bpp icon is from a color list. writing a 32bpp icon from a Tkimage is identical to writing a 24bpp icon.

Given a value N, if we want to make change for N cents, and we have infinite supply of each of S = { S1, S2, .. , Sm} valued coins, how many ways can we make the change? The order of coins doesn’t matter.
For example, for N = 4 and S = {1,2,3}, there are four solutions: {1,1,1,1},{1,1,2},{2,2},{1,3}. So output should be 4. For N = 10 and S = {2, 5, 3, 6}, there are five solutions: {2,2,2,2,2}, {2,2,3,3}, {2,2,6}, {2,3,5} and {5,5}. So the output should be 5.
Analysis
I did this question before, it’s not a DFS search question, because question only asks the total number of ways.
So what method do we use? Remember the 4 types of DP?
Input cannot sort
Find minimum/maximum result
Check the feasibility
Count all possible solutions
So, this is a DP question!
Solution
The solutions in in two parts:
- Solutions that do not contain mth coin (or Sm).
- Solutions that contain at least one Sm.
Using m to denote the types of coin used, and n denote the total value, the equation is:
count( S, m, n ) = count( S, m - 1, n ) + count( S, m, n-S[m-1] )
Solution one is using recursion. It’s not good because of a lot of repeated calculation. But the code is extremely easy to write:
int count( int S[], int m, int n ) {
// If n is 0 then there is 1 solution (do not include any coin)
if (n == 0)
return 1;
// If n is less than 0 then no solution exists
if (n < 0)
return 0;
// If there are no coins and n is greater than 0, then no solution exist
if (m <=0 && n >= 1)
return 0;
// count is sum of solutions (i) including S[m-1] (ii) excluding S[m-1]
return count( S, m - 1, n ) + count( S, m, n-S[m-1] );
}
Solution two is DP, it’s a little hard to write actually. Do it carefully.
Code
C++ code not written by me:
int count( int S[], int m, int n ) {
int i, j, x, y;
// We need n+1 rows as the table is consturcted in bottom up manner using
// the base case 0 value case (n = 0)
int table[n+1][m];
// Fill the enteries for 0 value case (n = 0)
for (i=0; i<m; i++)
table[0][i] = 1;
// Fill rest of the table enteries in bottom up manner
for (i = 1; i < n+1; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < m; j++)
{
// Count of solutions including S[j]
x = (i-S[j] >= 0)? table[i - S[j]][j]: 0;
// Count of solutions excluding S[j]
y = (j >= 1)? table[i][j-1]: 0;
// total count
table[i][j] = x + y;
}
}
return table[n][m-1];
}

| Clicking Read Voltages
sends the INT command to turn off interupts in Mini_CT. This stops AC
waveform generation if it is running. The collector voltage will stop
on the current data point for the AC Sweep. If Slow Sweep was selected, the collector voltage will be zero if the sweep has completed. If a Set Collector V/100 operation was last performed, the collector voltage will be that set voltage. Remember, the collector voltage settting is for the output from the collector voltage DAC. The voltage at the collector pin will differ if a load on the output causes a drop across the sense resistor. Read Voltages sends a DCM command an it averages all 256 of the returned data points. The collector voltage and current displayed as VC = and IC = are low noise measurements due to the averaging. The displayed base values VB = and IB = are copies of the Set Base V/100 and Set Base uA/10 values. Mini_CT does not measure base values. Main |

Air Force One A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
**1/2 (out of 4) A Los Angeles office building. A group of violent terrorists. One man stands in their way - a tough New York cop. Die Hard!
A military vessel. A group of violent terrorists. One man stands in their way - a former Navy SEAL. Under Siege!
A presidential airborne fortress. A group of violent terrorists. One man stands in their way - The President of the United States of America(?). Air Force One!
This formula has gone too far. A cop, okay. A Navy SEAL, alright. A president, don't be silly.
Because I was expecting IN THE LINE OF FIRE II, I was surprised and insulted by the premise. The president as an action hero? What nonsense! A president who's been through the political meat grinder with his youthful idealism intact? Don't make me gag!
You should know that this movie is an action movie, not a thriller. It is closer to CON AIR than it is to IN THE LINE OF FIRE. The plot and the details are cartoonish, not psychological. Now, with that in mind, AIR FORCE ONE is pretty good. But it is not subtle or intellectual.
Part of why I expected a smart thriller is because the director is Wolfgang Petersen, director of DAS BOOT, a claustrophobic look at life aboard a WWI German U-boat, and of IN THE LINE OF FIRE, an exciting cat-and-mouse thriller. Petersen's latest, OUTBREAK, was a lot closer to an action movie than a thriller, and it looks like he has finally fully crossed over now with AIR FORCE ONE.
There is a surprising similarity between AIR FORCE ONE and many of Petersen's previous films. One of the first people we see is Jürgen Prochnow, who played the Captain in DAS BOOT. Both settings (this movie and DAS BOOT) are tight, closed, and finite. The airplane's defenses are highlighted and even look similar to those of the U-boat. And like the climactic scene in IN THE LINE OF FIRE, an F-14 puts itself between AFO and a Russian missile, like some valiant winged secret service agent.
If Petersen really is migrating away from thrillers, he's not a bad action director. In fact, there are a few very tense sequences in AFO that really stand out. An early attempt at landing AFO incorporates tension from the ground rescue crew, the pilot, the terrorists, and the President's cabinet. There is also an awesome non-stunt involving a lifeline between two aircraft.
There is a spark of an idea in this movie that could have proved interesting, had it been played up - Ford's president is a lot like Oldman's terrorist. In the opening scene, President Marshall delivers an anti-terrorism speech. He vows to use whatever force is necessary to defend what he knows is morally right. It is this absolute moral certainty that makes him no better than Ivan Korshunov. Korshunov says "you have just handed my country over to gangsters and prostitutes;" he is as morally certain and rightfully indignant as Marshall. In Marshall's stated moral landscape, this is all the justification Korshunov needs to commit violent acts. Marshall is the victim of one who shares his own morality. How beautifully ironic the situation, and how disappointing that Petersen didn't do more with it.
Further, when the terrorist's demands have been met, Korshunov does not keep his end of the bargain; he doesn't release the hostages. Okay, he's the bad guy. That's expected. But when the "Good guys" finally get the upper hand, they behave no better, gunning down a man who has just been freed from prison.
Petersen didn't really explore this hypocrisy, but at least he left it open by giving the terrorist some understandable motives and some legitimate gripes. Still, the idea is obscured, if not lost, through the haze of testosterone morality and action movie justice.
Because I was expecting more, I was a little disappointed by AFO. On the other hand, Petersen is a good action director, and if you keep that in mind, you'll probably enjoy this movie.

None of the seedings are set in stone, either. Toledo and Ohio are neck-and-neck with three games apiece remaining on the schedule. Kent State and Buffalo are both riding lengthy win streaks, and both have the potential to move further up the ladder.
With less than two weeks until the MAC Tournament begins in Cleveland, The Post took a look at all 12 teams and ranked them from top to bottom:
Toledo (22-6, 14-3 MAC)
Toledo is a team to be feared. Despite recently escaping with a two-point win over Central Michigan and being toppled by Kent State, Toledo has nonetheless dominated conference play. It won both games against its biggest competitor, Ohio, and has only truly been stumped by Kent State. Led by guard Ryan Rollins, Toledo’s lineup is a well-oiled machine that doesn’t pull punches.
Kent State (18-9, 13-4 MAC)
The Golden Flashes upset the balance of the MAC after stomping out both Ohio and Toledo in the same week. They’ve been nigh invincible while on their nine-game win streak, and it comes at the perfect time. The Golden Flashes are just one game behind Toledo and Ohio in the standings, and there is plenty of time for them to make a last second leap.
Ohio (23-5, 14-3 MAC)
Despite being tied for first place at the moment, there’s reason for Ohio to be placed at No. 3. It dropped both of its games against Toledo, and its loss to Kent State last Friday was the ugliest of the season. There have been few roadblocks Ohio has hit this season, but it can’t seem to get a leg up over teams near the top.
Buffalo (17-8, 11-4 MAC)
A seven-game win streak launched Buffalo toward the top of the MAC and helped punch its ticket to Cleveland. Its conference-leading offense scored more than 100 points in two of those games to boot. Still, the foundation of Buffalo’s recent success will be tested when it hosts Toledo and travels to Kent State in its final two games of the season.
Akron (18-9, 11-6 MAC)
The Zips started out conference play 9-3, but a three-game skid midway through February knocked them down a peg. They lost those three games by a combined nine points, but wins over Bowling Green and Eastern Michigan put them back on track. If the Zips can close out narrow games, they’ll put up a fight in their final three games.
Ball State (12-15, 7-9 MAC)
The Cardinals have won once in their past five games and are in danger of forfeiting their sixth place spot in the standings. The worst of their schedule is behind them, however, and their upcoming game against Akron presents an opportunity to shake up the power dynamic before the regular season ends.
Miami (12-15, 6-10 MAC)
Even though Miami has won three of its last five games, Miami has trudged through a murky February slate with little to come away with. It could’ve upset Buffalo at home Tuesday, but it came up short after a last second 3-point attempt. Miami grapples with inconsistency, but it has the tools to stay in the MAC Tournament picture down the final stretch.
Northern Illinois (8-18, 5-11 MAC)
A pair of road wins over Ball State and Akron last week were offset by back-to-back losses to Miami and Eastern Michigan. The Huskies have been competitive as of late — their last four games have all been decided by six points or fewer — but they still have a hard time sealing close games.
Central Michigan (6-19, 5-9 MAC)
Between Jan. 29 and Feb. 8, the Chippewas won four of their five games and seemed to have turned a corner following a rocky start to conference play. But they’ve gone on a five-game losing streak since, which included losses to Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan. It’s difficult to find success in the first season with a new coach, and the Chippewas aren’t having much luck.
Bowling Green (12-16, 5-12 MAC)
The Falcons were dealt a poor hand to end the season. They host Western Michigan on Saturday, which shouldn’t be too hard to handle. However, they close the season with games against Ohio and Toledo. If their five-game losing streak is taken into consideration, the Falcons’ prospects of a late run for the No. 8 seed are grim.
Eastern Michigan (10-18, 5-12 MAC)
The Eagles have won two games in February, and they won both by a combined seven points. Its last seven losses have all been decided by double digits. At this point in the season, the Eagles are simply fighting to stay out of the basement.
Western Michigan (6-22, 2-15 MAC)
The Broncos are well out of the MAC Tournament picture and have been for much of the season. They earned their only two conference wins after upsetting Central Michigan and Akron at home. Aside from those wins, there’s little optimism brewing for the final three games of the regular season.


Astrophysics Crib Sheet¶
Wavelength () is related to frequency ( nu not v) by the speed of light () :
Energy () of a photon () given its frequency () .
Statistics:¶
Many small cameras (if the pixels are small you need to pay attention), have well-depths that are less than 65,535. They will use a gain of such that when divided into the well-depth it will fluff the electron counts up. You need 10,000 electrons to achieve a 1% result. To first order (back-of-the-envelope) a count of 10,000 electrons will have .
A well depth of 18,000 electrons needs GAIN = . Thus you will need to achieve that result. For an 1800 second exposure that produces counts on order of 12,500 you need an accumulated exposure time of or 3 = (1 + 2 more) exposures.

Whenever multiple people work on the same project, conflicts can arise. This is also true with version control. In this codelab, you'll create some artificial conflicts and then resolve them using the Git command line and Cloud Shell Editor.
Download a local copy of the repository the instructor has created to your development environment.
s-USER/lesson01-conflict
repository and copy the "Clone with SSH" path.s-USER/lesson01-conflict
repository with the git clone command.Replace the text after git clone
with the path you copied from GitLab.
git clone git@techx-gitlab.640k.net:s-USER/lesson01-conflict.git
In the repository, you should see a file named "sequence.txt" containing integers 1, 2, 3.
git add sequence.txt
git commit -m 'create a sequence of natural numbers'
git push origin main
The instructor has created a branch called "fibonacci". Download this branch and check it out.
git fetch origin fibonacci
git checkout origin/fibonacci
git log
git checkout main
In the last section, you saw that the "fibonacci" branch made a different set of changes to the "sequence.txt" file than you have made. This problem can often occur when working on the same project as other people. Luckily Git provides mechanisms for identifying and resolving these conflicting changes.
git merge origin/fibonacci
You should see the following output:
Auto-merging sequence.txt CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in sequence.txt Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
In other tutorials, you may see instructions that request you run git pull
. This command combines a "fetch" and "merge" in one step.
git status
Open the version control pane in Cloud Shell Editor.
git add sequence.txt
A command-line text editor will appear. By default " nano" is the editor. In the command list at the bottom of the editor, the caret symbol "^" indicates the "Ctrl" button.
git commit
git push origin main
If you have additional time, practice the version control skills you've learned by submitting an extra-credit coding project to a new branch of the repository used in this codelab.

Objectives
- Understand the H-Bridge
- Control the motors with the H-Bridge
- Implement part 1 to control the motors using light
Familiarizing Yourself with the H-Bridge
The H-bridge in the diagram can be used to control the direction of rotation of the motor. For example, Closing S1 and S4 will rotate the motor clockwise. If S3 and S2 were closed the motor would rotate counter-clockwise. This characteristic of the H-Bridge allows us to control the movement of the robot.
In my implementation, we are using the L293D H-Bridge integrated circuit. The direction of the motors is controlled by pins 1A-4A and the speed is controlled by 1,2EN and 3,4EN by the Arduino.
The robot
By sending different signals to the pins mentioned in the previous section, the motors can controlled for different directions as seen above. Below, the speed of the motors can also be configured!
Finally, the Light following robot will perform the following actions in a moderate to no light environment:
- Spin in a state of oblivion when no bright light source is pointed at it
- Turn towards a brighter light source than its current environment
- Move forwards to approach the light source without wriggling.
