MARKETING STRATEGY PLANNING
Why a marketing plan?
To plan and map out the decisions to determine the future success of your business; to identify all the factors that could affect your ability to operate effectively in the marketplace; to simplify the complexity of marketing planning and regularly reviewing the plan.
A good marketing plan integrates long-term planning and short-term implementation; it also enables clear decision making as well; therefore you will always be on track or even leading the market and will never be taken by surprise by market developments.

Hey guys, here's a little insight on how DXM might affect your sex life. I had tried DXM once before, and I didn't trip, but I certainly did get the sexual side effects. I noticed that for the first two days afterwards it was very difficult to get an erection, and I wasn't able to cum until the 3rd day. I thought maybe it was a fluke, and maybe it wasnt. I knew DXM causes sexual dysfunction, but I didn't know it lasted that long!
Well the interesting account happened this second time I tried DXM. The day after I had the full fledged sexual dysfunction. The second day--today--a nice young lady stopped by my house and wanted to do very naughty things. I wasn't sure what would happen, but I went ahead and tried--veeery interesting results. I was able to get an enerction, but because of the DXM I still wasn't able to cum, nor enjoy the sex fully. However this let me stay erect for nearly two hours, and the young lady had a Great time.
I got lucky as hell and wouldnt recommend trying to use DXM for sex, but I just want yall to be aware of the length of sexual dysfunction it can cause.

Why PRO?
Nodemailer is an upgrade of Nodemailer. Unlike Nodemailer which is licensed under MIT. Nodemailer is licensed under restrictive CC license and commercial license. See license details in the License page.
Even though you can use the community version of Nodemailer as long as you want, Nodemailer has some benefits over it.
- Nodemailer is maintained. Due to the large amount of effort what it takes to handle a myriad of RFC’s and also keep the code updated along ever-upgrading Node.js versions, I haven’t had too much time to manage the original Nodemailer. The testimonial being that Nodemailer is still fully ES5 code and works on legacy systems like Node.js 0.10.
- Support. For paying customers I am able to provide email based help setting up or resolving issues with Nodemailer. For Nodemailer you mostly have to rely on Stack Overflow.
- Bundled modules. Nodemailer does not come alone. In addition you get to use Mailparser2 and possibly other modules under the same terms as Nodemailer with no extra cost. More modules coming in the future.
- Auditability. Nodemailer includes a tree of dependencies. Nodemailer has zero dependencies as everything required (and only that) is built in. There’s no dead code or dark corners which makes code audits lot easier. In the future I plan to have regular security audits on Nodemailer code to prevent issues like hidden RCE vulnerabilities that some other email projects have had recently.
- Longevity. By paying you support the project to keep going on. You can use Nodemailer without fearing that it does not support your latest platform upgrade or suddenly stops doing what really matters – delivering your messages to your customers.
Differences
Nodemailer has dropped some features available in Nodemailer and also introduced some new ones.
- All templating is gone. It was too confusing to use and to be really universal a huge list of different renderers would be required. Nodemailer is about email, not about parsing different template sytaxes
- No NTLM authentication. It was too difficult to re-implement. If you still need it then it would be possible to introduce a pluggable SASL interface where you could load the ntlm module in your own code and pass it to Nodemailer. Currently this is not possible.
- OAuth2 authentication is built in and has a different configuration. You can use both user (3LO) and service (2LO) accounts to generate access tokens from Nodemailer. Additionally there’s a new feature to authenticate differently for every message – useful if your application sends on behalf of different users instead of a single sender.
- Delivery status notifications added to Nodemailer
- Improved DKIM signing of messages. Previously you needed an external module for this and it did quite a lousy job with larger messages
- Stream transport to return a RFC822 formatted message as a stream. Useful if you want to use Nodemailer as a preprocessor and not for actual delivery.
- Sendmail transport built-in, no need for external transport plugin
- Improved Calendaring. Provide an ical file to Nodemailer to send out calendar events.
- Long pipeline of things to do. Nodemailer is far from being done.
Why?
 If I would make just a single sale of Nodemailer it would still be more than the money I made in donations in the last 6 years I’ve been developing Nodemailer. I’m mostly interested in building email related modules, it does not matter if the modules are truly open source or not.


the first line of the output from git status command give you information about which branch you are at currently
at the left hand side bottom corner you can see the branch name
in Gitkraken, you can find branch status information from left hand and top tool bar
git checkout -b new-branch-name
OR
git branch new-branch name
git checkout new-branch name
use checkout with -b flag will create the branch and then switch to the branch automatically. alternatively, you can create the branch using branch command and then checkout(switch) to the newly created branch
1. click on the branch at the left hand side bottom corner2. select create new branch3. type in new branch's name and then hit enter
1. click on the branch at the top tool bar2. type in new branch name into the prompt and then hit enter
M - means modified
U - means updated, mostly adding file
D - means deleted
BUT! If you're pretty happy with the changes We will need to save the work with git command
add . will add all the changes or you can specify the individual file with space separated
in the source control tab under changes section there is a button called "stage changes"
at the right hand side of the Gitkraken, you have green buttons to either "stage all changes" or "stage file(single)"
-m set the following argument to be the commit message. if you only enter git commit a vim editor will pop up, press "i" to enter insert mode, type your msg, hit "esc", type ":wq" to save.
in the source control tab there is a textbox for you to enter commit message, press enter to commit
at the right hand side bottom of the Gitkraken, you can type in commit message and/or the longer description
Some Sidenotes:
git push will send the local commit to the upstream remote branch, if upstream is not set it'll complain, follow the suggested fix from terminal
down the left hand side bottom you will see up arrow with some number, that means we have commits pending delivery, simply click on the arrow to push
at the top toolbar in Gitkraken, click on push button to push commits to the cloud, if the prompt pops up for you to choose upstream, accept and hit ok
Now feel free to commit and push throughout your developing process Once you finish the feature assigned to you or you have completed a big task we will make a pull request (PR)

PSALMS 40
A psalm written by David for the choir director
1 I waited patiently for Yahweh to help me,
and he listened to me when I called out to him.
2 When I had many troubles, it was as though I was in a deep pit.
But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit;
he set my feet on a solid rock
and enabled me to walk safely.
3 He has given me a new song to sing,
a song to praise him who is our God.
Many people will find out what he has done for me,
and they will revere and trust him.
4 How fortunate are those who trust Yahweh to protect them,
those who do not trust in idols
or join with those who worship those false gods.
5 O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things!
No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us.
If I tried to tell others about all those wonderful things,
I would not be able to
because there would be too many for me to mention.
6 Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the only things that delight you.
You have enabled me to understand that very well.

8 O my God, I enjoy doing what you desire;
I am always thinking about your laws within my inner being.
9 When all your people were gathered together,
I told them about how you do what is right and how you rescue us.
Yahweh, you know that I have not refused to tell that to them.
10 I have not kept within me the news that you always act justly;
when many of your people have gathered together to worship you,
I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us.
I have not concealed that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.
11 Yahweh, do not stop acting mercifully toward me.
Because you faithfully love me and are loyal to me, protect me always.
12 I have many troubles; I cannot count them.
I am now suffering the things that happened because I sinned.
I can no longer see because of my tears.
The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head.
I am very discouraged.
13 O Yahweh, please save me!
Come quickly to help me!
14 Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced.
Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.
15 I hope that those who make fun of me
will be dismayed when you defeat them.
16 But I hope that all those who go to worship you will be very joyful.
I hope that those who love you because you saved them will shout repeatedly,
"Yahweh is great!"
17 As for me, I am poor and needy,
but I know that the Lord has not forgotten me.
O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me,
so please come quickly and help me!


Projects
Here is a list of some selected projects I have completed. These projects touch on mobile robots, quadrotors, and computer vision, among other things.
For more information, visit my Github page .
MyAutoPano
Panorama stitching using Traditional Supervised and Unsupervised Approaches
Abhinav Modi, Kartik Madhira and Prateek Arora
In this project we have used Homography to warp multiple images and stitch a panorama using three different techniques- Traditional approach using feature matching and RANSAC, Supervised approach to predict a 4 point parametrization of Homography between two images and an Unsupervised approach to predict Homography from the 4pt parametrization without the presence of a ground truth.
Code
PB-Lite
Edge Detection using a modified Probability of Boundary Method
Abhinav Modi
The algorithm uses DoG, Leung-malik and Gabor filter Banks to generate texture, brightness and color maps to improve the boundary detection results of Canny and Sobel baselines.
Code
Augmented Reality Tags
AR Tag detection and tracking, to project a 3D Cube in a video sequence
Abhinav Modi, Kamakshi Jain and Rohan Singh
Blob detection is used to detect three encoded(ID and orientation) tags which is followed by the use of homography and then perspective warping to project a cube on each tag based on its ID and orientation.
Code Video
BIOBOT
PLSS Rover capable of carrying one crew only
Abhinav Modi, Hanish Mehta and Rohan Singh
The BIOBOT is a conceptual model of a one-crew carrying, semi-autonomous Lunar-Rover. The rover follows the astronaut with an on-board Life Support System such that astronaut can carry out extra-vehicular activities like sample collection with ease.
Video
WALLE 2.0
Forward and Inverse Kinematic Modelling of a Mobile Manipulator Robot: WALLE
Abhinav Modi
The main idea of this project was to model the Kinematics of a reduced DOF(Degree of Freedom) model of the robot: WALL-E from the original Disney PIXAR movie: WALL-E. The objective is to perform a pick and lift operation using both the arms together on a mobile base. This will enable the robot to pick a box full of supplies, kept at fixed distance which is more than one arms reach.
Video
Cable Suspended Load from a Quadrotor
Trajectory Generation and Control of a Quadrotor with a Cable-Suspended Load: A Differentially-Flat Hybrid System

I was a Design and UI/UX intern at CaptureProof, a medical media startup that provides a HIPAA-compliant platform for sharing photos and video between doctors and patients.
iPhone Mockups
An example of the mockups I made for the iPhone app. For all my work, I first sketched out ideas and ran them by the CEO. Once she was satisfied, I made higher fidelity mockups in Photoshop. By the end of my internship I had produced mockups for all the main functionalities available in the mobile app at that time.

The CEO wanted a re-design of the onboarding process, to make the mobile and web applications feel consistent. I was tasked with creating Balsamiq wireframes for inviting patients and onboarding doctors through the web app, then re-creating a similar flow with the mobile app.
Other Projects
Given the small startup environment, I was also asked to design for immediate startup needs.
- Customer engagement email design, using MailChimp
- Website mockups for the about, FAQ and tutorial pages
- Executive summaries for the business lead
- Business cards
- Stickers
- VC deck graphics
- Social media graphics
- Library of iOS and web assets

…there’s no escape.
I wanted to catch up on assignments for the ds106zone, so I hopped in on this week’s audio work. An easy one to get in was create a radio bumper for the ds106radio channel using a short clip from The Twilight Zone.
I deviated a little from this week’s episodes by watching Five Characters in Search of an Exit, and it struck me as a great parallel for my foray into ds106. I’ve dabbled, I’ve asked questions, and I’ve explored. Now that I’m fully into the fold, I don’t think I can ever leave. The community is fantastic, and even though I haven’t kept up with the “official” class, I feel more creative accomplishment than I have in a long time.
For kicks, I also decided to throw together a very simple Twilight Zone themed radio banner. Maybe I’ll GIF it. Maybe not. If you want to remix it, you can grab the .xcf and have at it.

Now, I just need to listen to the radio show constantly to see if ScottLo decides to use it…

[discord] <SHossain> Hello!
[discord] <Jcharming> If there are other resources I'd be happy to have them I'm likely going to be doing a piece on Komodo and it's aspirations to release a decentralized poker platform this quarter. ty
[slack] <jl777> wait wait! nobody said this quarter!!
[slack] <jl777> it is still in development without any completion dates given at all by the dev team
[discord] <Jcharming> Clarification, I'll likely be doing a piece on Komodo's aspirations to release a poker platform down the road in its future. I will publish it this quarter, and had not intended to give any information as to a release date unless I were to discover it from the team working on it.
(edited)
[discord] <jl777c> aha ok, mis parsed what you wrote yes this is the proof of concept for solving a very difficult decentralization problem
[discord] <jl777c> all the needed pieces are almost here, so we can start putting it together and finding out what needs to be fixed, then once the cli version is working stable, we can have the GUI built on top. so any end user solution is a ways out
[discord] <Jcharming> I assume you are the lead dev for the Komodo platform project?
[discord] <jl777c> but even with a cli version, it proves that such probelems can be solved, even with realtime response requirements
[discord] <jl777c> i am jl777
[discord] <jl777c> started SuperNET and Komodo
A brief history of our working tech and an animated timeline of the Komodo Platform. We recently successfully tested 20K transactions per second. This equate...
[discord] <Jcharming> I see, good to meet you. I've been following the kmd project for the last 2 quarters and it has been showing up with a higher frequency than usual in my news aggregate sweeps.
(edited)
[discord] <Jcharming> ty for the link
(edited)
[discord] <jl777c> we have been at this for longer than most and finally all the pieces are coming together, even age-old dPoW is now a timely thing to have
[discord] <Jcharming> Very cool, would you be willing to be reached out to here if I wanted to get more in depth information on the KMD project?
For some background of why I'm asking, I'm a contributor on a few servers, a couple of which are sizable. I run a daily newsletter publish and I've received a lot of questions about KMD tech when I was posting news information about kmdplatform these last 2 quarters (especially as I was covering the dICO releases). My subjective take away is that there is substantial interest in the project, however the technical density doesn't translate well. I'd love to formulate a more digestible understanding for myself, after which I'd be willing to share it out in my other publishes.
[discord] <jl777c> sure, here or KMD discord, I am online a lot and accessible
[discord] <jl777c> CHIPS is more a usecase of the advanced KMD tech
[discord] <Jcharming> Do you have a link to the KMD discord that I can have access to as well? Then I can keep questions pertinent to both projects in the appropriate channels so others can benefit from anything discorded as well. Or just to simply not clog things up, unnecessarily.
[discord] <jl777c> I asked for a jl777 channel created in the technology section
[discord] <Jcharming> Thank you.
[discord] <jl777c> we are just starting the migration from slack
[discord] <Jcharming> That's excellent thank you again. I'll reach out to you in the coming months. Again, thank you for taking the time to answer some questions.
[discord] <jl777c> feel free to post questions, whenever. best to ask just a few at a time, instead of a wall of text. usually the answers to the questions end up changing the followups you want to ask anyway
[discord] <Jcharming> Thank you I will, and we are in complete agreement about the last part of that statement. lol
[discord] <jl777c> I have used the simplest available solutions for the various KMD aspects, but it all ends up being a relatively complex system, even if it is built from "simple" things like SPV and checkpoints

Harambee Starlets In Crucial Battle Against Zambia, Fans Allowed Free Entry Into Kasarani
by Bonface OsanoKenya women’s national team, the Harambee Starlets, face-off with Zambia’s Shepolopolo in a crucial 2020 Olympics qualifying first leg match at the Kasarani Stadium on Friday.
Starlets, who are gunning to become the first football team in the country to qualify for the global event, concluded their preparations on Thursday, with head coach David Ouma naming his final squad.
Ouma emphasized on the importance of taking full advantage of the home support to get favorable results ahead of the return leg in Zambia next week.
Read: Free Entry For Harambee Starlets, Zambia Olympics Qualifier
“The players have portrayed great resilience in the camp and I believe my team will do a good job,” said the former Sofapaka coach.
“Since we are playing at home we have to maximize on our strengths to our advantage in the game tomorrow,” he continued.
To ensure the girls get the home backing, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) announced free entry for the match to sour up fans numbers.
The team’s camp was slightly delayed due to lack of finances, but the captain, Dorcas Shikobe, has said that despite the set back, they are focused on the job at hand.
“Despite the minor setbacks faced by the team, our main focus is on the game tomorrow and I believe we shall perform well in the game,” said Shikobe.
The aggregate winner will face either Cameroon or Ivory Coast for a direct ticket to the Japan Olympics.


After adding the options for specific underlying stock, you can set the filter criteria with SetFilter method to pull contracts using the specified min and max strike and expiration range values you need for a given symbol.
| Method | Parameters |
|---|---|
| SetFilter( min strike, max strike, minexpiry, maxExpiry) | min Strike, max Strike: The min and max strike rank relative to market price min Expiry, max Expiry: The range of time to expiration to include, for example, TimeSpan.FromDays(10) would exclude contracts expiring in less than 10 days |
Here parameters min Strike and max Strike are the relative values with respect to the market price. We use Google(NASDAQ: GOOG) as an example to describe the filter criteria. If today is 01/03/2017, the market price of underlying stock is $776, the strike prices of GOOG options are spaced $2.5. Then SetFilter(-1, +2, timedelta(0), timedelta(90))
will fist look up at the money contracts with strike being K=$777.5 (Here K might not being $100 since rarely will option be ATM exactly). Then filter will looks for options with strikes between and including (777.5 + 2.5*2, 777.5 - 2.5*1). The time to expiration of these options are restricted within 90 days from now on.
For the strike, the exchange normally chooses the strike prices at which options can be written so that they are spaced $2.50, $5, or $10 apart. Typically the spacing is $2.50 when the stock price is between $5 and $25, $5 when the stock price is between $25 and $200, and $10 for stock prices above $200. So you should carefully choose the parameters of min strike and max Strike in case there is no contracts satisfy the filter criteria if the range is too small, less than the minimum units of strike prices change.
For the expiry, there are many expiration dates that apply to the different series of options. An option cycle is the pattern of months in which options contracts expire. There are three kinds of common option cycles. The options on the January cycle have contracts available in the first month of each quarter (January, April, July and October). Options assigned to the February cycle use the middle month of each quarter (February, May, August and November). And options in the March cycle have options available during the last month of each quarter (March, June, September and December). In addition, individual stock options typically expire in the current month and the subsequent month.
# filter the contracts with strikes between (market price - 10, market price + 10) option.SetFilter(-10,10) # filter the contracts which expires more than 30 days but no longer than 60 days option.SetFilter(TimeSpan.FromDays(30),TimeSpan.FromDays(60)) # filter the contracts with strikes between(ATM Strike - 10 * strike space value, market price + 10 * strike space value) and with expiration days less than 180 days option.SetFilter(-10, +10, timedelta(0), timedelta(180))

The youth cringed as if discovered in a crime. By heavens, they had won after all! The imbecile line had remained and become victors. He could hear cheering.
He lifted himself upon his toes and looked in the direction of the fight. A yellow fog lay wallowing on the treetops. From beneath it came the clatter of musketry. Hoarse cries told of an advance.
He turned away amazed and angry. He felt that he had been wronged.
He had fled, he told himself, because annihilation approached. He had done a good part in saving himself, who was a little piece of the army. He had considered the time, he said, to be one in which it was the duty of every little piece to rescue itself if possible. Later the officers could fit the little pieces together again, and make a battle front. If none of the little pieces were wise enough to save themselves from the flurry of death at such a time, why, then, where would be the army? It was all plain that he had proceeded according to very correct and commendable rules. His actions had been sagacious things.  They were the work of a master’s legs.
Thoughts of his comrades came to him. The brittle blue line had withstood the blows and won. He grew bitter over it.  He had been overturned and crushed by their lack of sense in holding the position, when intelligent deliberation would have convinced them that it was impossible. He, the enlightened man who looks afar in the dark, had fled because of his superior perceptions and knowledge. He felt a great anger against his comrades. He knew it could be proved that they had been fools.
He wondered what they would remark when later he appeared in camp. His mind heard howls of derision. Their density would not enable them to understand his sharper point of view.
He began to pity himself acutely. He was ill used. He was trodden beneath the feet of an iron injustice. He had proceeded with wisdom and from the most righteous motives under heaven’s blue only to be frustrated by hateful circumstances.
A dull, animal-like rebellion against his fellows, war in the abstract, and fate grew within him. He shambled along with bowed head, his brain in a tumult of agony and despair. When he looked loweringly up, quivering at each sound, his eyes had the expression of those of a criminal who thinks his guilt little and his punishment great, and knows that he can find no words.
He went from the fields into a thick woods, as if resolved to bury himself. He wished to get out of hearing of the crackling shots which were to him like voices.
The ground was cluttered with vines and bushes, and the trees grew close and spread out like bouquets. He was obliged to force his way with much noise. The creepers, catching against his legs, cried out harshly as their sprays were torn from the barks of trees. The swishing saplings tried to make known his presence to the world. He could not conciliate the forest. As he made his way, it was always calling out protestations. When he separated embraces of trees and vines the disturbed foliages waved their arms and turned their face leaves toward him. He dreaded lest these noisy motions and cries should bring men to look at him. So he went far, seeking dark and intricate places.
After a time the sound of musketry grew faint and the cannon boomed in the distance. The sun, suddenly apparent, blazed among the trees. The insects were making rhythmical noises. They seemed to be grinding their teeth in unison.  A bird flew on lighthearted wing.
Off was the rumble of death. It seemed now that Nature had no ears.
This landscape gave him assurance. A fair field holding life. It was the religion of peace. It would die if its timid eyes were compelled to see blood. He conceived Nature to be a woman with a deep aversion to tragedy.
He threw a pine cone at a jovial squirrel, and he ran with chattering fear. High in a treetop he stopped, and, poking his head cautiously from behind a branch, looked down with an air of trepidation.
The youth felt triumphant at this exhibition. There was the law, he said. Nature had given him a sign. The squirrel, immediately upon recognizing danger, had taken to his legs without ado. He did not stand stolidly baring his furry belly to the missile, and die with an upward glance at the sympathetic heavens. On the contrary, he had fled as fast as his legs could carry him; and he was but an ordinary squirrel, too—doubtless no philosopher of his race. The youth wended, feeling that Nature was of his mind. She re-enforced his argument with proofs that lived where the sun shone.
Once he found himself almost into a swamp. He was obliged to walk upon bog tufts and watch his feet to keep from the oily mire.
The youth went again into the deep thickets. The brushed branches made a noise that drowned the sounds of cannon. He walked on, going from obscurity into promises of a greater obscurity.
At length he reached a place where the high, arching boughs made a chapel. He softly pushed the green doors aside and entered. Pine needles were a gentle brown carpet. There was a religious half light.
Near the threshold he stopped, horror-stricken at the sight of a thing.
He was being looked at by a dead man who was seated with his back against a columnlike tree. The corpse was dressed in a uniform that had once been blue, but was now faded to a melancholy shade of green. The eyes, staring at the youth, had changed to the dull hue to be seen on the side of a dead fish. The mouth was open. Its red had changed to an appalling yellow. Over the gray skin of the face ran little ants. One was trundling some sort of bundle along the upper lip.
The youth gave a shriek as he confronted the thing. He was for moments turned to stone before it. He remained staring into the liquid-looking eyes. The dead man and the living man exchanged a long look. Then the youth cautiously put one hand behind him and brought it against a tree. Leaning upon this he retreated, step by step, with his face still toward the thing. He feared that if he turned his back the body might spring up and stealthily pursue him.
The branches, pushing against him, threatened to throw him over upon it. His unguided feet, too, caught aggravatingly in brambles; and with it all he received a subtle suggestion to touch the corpse.
At last he burst the bonds which had fastened him to the spot and fled, unheeding the underbrush. He was pursued by the sight of black ants swarming greedily upon the gray face and venturing horribly near to the eyes.
After a time he paused, and, breathless and panting, listened.
The trees about the portal of the chapel moved soughingly in a soft wind. A sad silence was upon the little guarding edifice.


[gecode-users] Dynamically constructing a model using solution of an IntVar
Christian Schulte
cschulte at kth.se
Tue Aug 13 22:57:54 CEST 2013
Try to use a variable of IntVarArgs while constructing the model to which
additional variables can be added. Then, after you are done with
constructing your model you can copy the elements of the IntVarArgs into an
IntVar Array.
Not sure that this actually answers your question.
 ;-)
I'm working on a problem of generating some test files according to some
constraints on the structure and content. The file header has a field for
the size of the data content (rest of the file).
>From what I've read in MPG, Tip 4.5 seems to be the right approach for the
problem, except that the length of the for dynamically sized IntVarArray
(representing Data) is determined by a partial solution (for the IntVar
representing Length).
I'd appreciate any pointers to modeling or solving this problem.
Thanks,
Ajit

Most people have indigestion at some point. Usually, it's not a sign of anything more serious and you can treat it yourself.
You can have the following symptoms after eating or drinking:
Stomach ache or back pain are usually not symptoms of indigestion. If you have those you might be constipated.
Heartburn and acid reflux are the same thing – when acid from your stomach comes up your throat. You'll have a burning feeling when this happens. This can be a symptom of indigestion.
There's usually no need to see a GP about indigestion. There are some things you can do at home.
cut down on tea, coffee, cola or alcohol
prop your head and shoulders up in bed – this can stop stomach acid coming up while you sleep
lose weight if you're overweight
eat 3 to 4 hours before going to bed
have rich, spicy or fatty foods
take ibuprofen or aspirin – this can make indigestion worse
smoke
A pharmacist can recommend medicines to ease the burning feeling or pain that can come with indigestion.
Medicines that help reduce acid in your stomach include:
Some indigestion medicines are best to take after eating as their effects last longer. Check the information leaflet that comes with the medicines for more information.
Pregnant women often get indigestion. It's very common from 27 weeks onwards.
It can be caused by hormonal changes and the growing baby pressing against the stomach.
A pharmacist can help with uncomfortable feelings or pain. They can recommend the best medicines to use when you're pregnant.
These symptoms can be a sign of something more serious.
The acid in your stomach can irritate the stomach lining or your throat. This causes indigestion and gives you a burning feeling and pain.
Other things that can cause indigestion include:
Stress can make indigestion worse.

Hello World
Over the years I have been setting up many weblogs and CMS sites for people. When WordPress came out and everyone was migrating to it, I also created a blog for myself. I did so with Drupal and few other platforms, but none of those weblogs survived beyond couple of posts. You see the pattern here; the focus has been on technology rather than the content. Some days ago, I got interested in Jekyll and decided to give it a go after many years of no web development. Meanwhile I started writing some notes about typesetting in TeX for a colleague, which looked like a good material for publishing. Seeing a promotion from GoDaddy for $2 domain registration completed the picture. I registered “randomdoctor.com” and started yet another blog. Hopefully this one will last for a while :) I wrote a short biography of myself that you may read, or continue with the following notes about setting up the blog.
Blog Setup
I used GitHub to host the blog. GitHub Pages is magical in its automatic building of Jekyll websites. I followed the instructions given in this well written blog post. Afterwards, I installed Jekyll on my MacBook, and started experimenting with it locally. All in all, I liked this exercise very much :). Here are some notes regarding my experience.
- The use of MarkDown language for technology/science blogging is awesome. I enjoy its easy and nice typesetting for text, code, and math formulas.
- Jekyll is many times better than WordPress if you want a simple weblog. It is minimal; The workflow is sophisticated; and you have great control over everything.
- Despite being quick to setup, it is highly customizable and extendible through plugins.
- DNS setup was not very smooth, but I finally managed to read this guide and configure the apex for “randomdoctor.com”.
- Jekyll works like a charm when installed on local machine. You run
bundle exec jekyll serve
; and afterwards every change that you make instantly appears in the browser. This is very helpful while styling a website. - I did some styling, including changing colors, fonts, and a bit of the template. I summarize some steps that may work as examples for the next amateur :)
- I started with the default theme
midnight
. The gem package for this is namedjekyll-theme-midnight
, which can be modified in/Gemfile
. - Configuration begins with
/_config.yml
file. Other than usual setup, I added few plugins underplugins:
section, includingjekyll-email-protect
. This requires adding the gem packagejekyll-email-protect
to/Gemfile
. - You define the colors such as
$bgcolor
in/_sass/_variables.scss
and apply them in/style.scss
. - I used Adobe Fonts (Typekit) to create font-face css file for serif font Adobe Caslon. I also downloaded the sans-serif font Linux Biolinum into
/fonts
folder and put its font-face css file there. These two css files are imported in/_sass/_variables.scss
, and variables such as$body-font
are defined there. You may indeed modify the use of those font variables in/style.scss
if needed. - I added date tag for posts in the index page. Open
/index.html
and add {{ post.date | date: “%B %e, %Y” }}
inside a new div block<div class="date">
under the title line. I also moved the same tag in_layouts/post.html
from bottom to the top.
- I started with the default theme


No. 5667 Allen Avenue, Victoria Garden City Marine Beach. Date: 4th October, 2003. Attention: Dear Sir, PRAISE GOD, THE MOST BENEVOLENT. I am Mrs. Victoria Bucknor,named person from Nigeria. I am married to Late Mr. George Bucknor of blessed memory who worked with Nigeria embassy in switzerland for nine years before he died in the year 2000. We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for only four days. Before his death we were both very devoted christain.Since his death I too have been battling with both cancer and fibroid problems.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5Million (Five Million U.S. Dollars) in a security company. Presently, this money is still with the Security Company. Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next three months due to cancer problem. Though what disturbs me most is my stroke sickness. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to either a church/organisation or devoted christain individual that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct here- in. I want this church/organisation or individual to use this money in all sincererity to fund building church,orphanages,widows and also propagating the word of GOD and to ensure that the society upholds the views and beliefs of the holy bible. The holy bible emphasized so much on GOD benevolence and this has encouraged me to take this bold step.  I don’t want a situation where this money will be used in an unholy manner. Hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I know that after death I will be with GOD the most benevolent and the most merciful. I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health and also of the presence of my husband’s relatives around me always. I don’t want them to know about this development. With GOD all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply, I will forward it to my family attorney and I will then instruct him to give you the contact of the Security Company. I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the original- beneficiary of this fund. I want you and the christains/Muslims communities where you reside to always pray for me. My happiness is that I lived a life of a true devoted christain worthy of emulation. Whoever that wants to serve the GOD must serve him in truth and in fairness. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in sourcing for a church/organisation or a devoted christain for this same purpose. Until I hear from you, my dreams will rest squarely on your shoulders. May the almighty GOD continue to guide and protect you. Regards, Mrs. Victoria Bucknor

The intagg module provides an integer aggregator and an enumerator. intagg is now obsolete, because there are built-in functions that provide a superset of its capabilities. However, the module is still provided as a compatibility wrapper around the built-in functions.
The aggregator is an aggregate function
int_array_aggregate(integer)
that produces an integer array
containing exactly the integers it is fed.
This is a wrapper around array_agg
,
which does the same thing for any array type.
The enumerator is a function
int_array_enum(integer[])
that returns setof integer. It is essentially the reverse
operation of the aggregator: given an array of integers, expand it
into a set of rows. This is a wrapper around unnest
,
which does the same thing for any array type.
Many database systems have the notion of a one to many table. Such a table usually sits between two indexed tables, for example:
CREATE TABLE left (id INT PRIMARY KEY, ...); CREATE TABLE right (id INT PRIMARY KEY, ...); CREATE TABLE one_to_many(left INT REFERENCES left, right INT REFERENCES right);
It is typically used like this:
SELECT right.* from right JOIN one_to_many ON (right.id = one_to_many.right) WHERE one_to_many.left = item;
This will return all the items in the right hand table for an entry in the left hand table. This is a very common construct in SQL.
Now, this methodology can be cumbersome with a very large number of entries in the one_to_many table. Often, a join like this would result in an index scan and a fetch for each right hand entry in the table for a particular left hand entry. If you have a very dynamic system, there is not much you can do. However, if you have some data which is fairly static, you can create a summary table with the aggregator.
CREATE TABLE summary AS SELECT left, int_array_aggregate(right) AS right FROM one_to_many GROUP BY left;
This will create a table with one row per left item, and an array of right items. Now this is pretty useless without some way of using the array; that's why there is an array enumerator. You can do
SELECT left, int_array_enum(right) FROM summary WHERE left = item;
The above query using int_array_enum
produces the same results
as
SELECT left, right FROM one_to_many WHERE left = item;
The difference is that the query against the summary table has to get only one row from the table, whereas the direct query against one_to_many must index scan and fetch a row for each entry.
On one system, an EXPLAIN showed a query with a cost of 8488 was reduced to a cost of 329. The original query was a join involving the one_to_many table, which was replaced by:
SELECT right, count(right) FROM ( SELECT left, int_array_enum(right) AS right FROM summary JOIN (SELECT left FROM left_table WHERE left = item) AS lefts ON (summary.left = lefts.left) ) AS list GROUP BY right ORDER BY count DESC;


I'm a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science at Swansea University, Sêr Cymru II Fellow, and Founding Director of Pill Bug Interactive.
My research background is primarily in using evolutionary optimisation technqiues to solve real problems. Examples include optimising meshes for fluid simulation solvers, designing hypersonic rentry vehicles and helping level designers create content for video games. I am also interested in understanding where technology can be used to support education, being led by educational needs rather than 'cool' technology.
I'm also one half of Pill Bug Interactive, an indie games company based in Wales. We've released two games; Intelligent Design: An Evolutionary Sandbox and Cycle 28 (Which was nominated for a BAFTA Cymru Award in 2019). We are currently hard at work on our next title Making it Home.

Ever since I saw a box floating on water in Half-Life I've been fascinated by computer simulation. During my undergraduate degree I wrote programs to simulate Lorentzian Water Wheels, Avalanches and Free Surface Flows. I knew this was the area I wanted to work in, combining my love of physics and coding.
I studied for my PhD at Swansea University working in the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering. During this time I began to realise rather than working on the computational fluid dynamic solvers I was much better at writing mesh generation and optimisation algorithms. Meshes split up space into small chunks to allow you to solve the equations which govern the physics you are interested in. I found that algorithms that work well in this field need to be kept simple. Many of my contributions are algorithms which have a few simple rules resulting in complex and robust meshes.
Most of my work has been about trying to make meshes suitable for a family of techniques called Co-Volume methods. These methods are very efficient but the meshes have an interesting set of requirements which make them difficult to generate. I showed that these methods are so fast that you can spend a long time generating the perfect mesh and still get a solution quicker than using other techniques.
Currently I'm working on techniques for transforming three dimensional scans of objects into meshes suitable for simulation. Literally building a virtual wind tunnel!
If you take a look at the games I’ve released it won’t surprise you to find out that I find the idea of simulating evolution really compelling. This is what led me into the field of optimisation. In particular I’m interested in getting computers to design things for us using optimisation. Does an aircraft look the way it does because that is the best design, or is it because we all have preconceptions of what an aircraft looks like? These questions fascinate me.
I’m best known for my work in evolutionary optimisation algorithms. In particular I modified an algorithm called Cuckoo Search. That algorithm uses the breeding strategy of cuckoos to optimise an objective function. My modifications accelerated the algorithm making it much faster, which is really important in engineering applications.
If we want to optimise a wing design we will need to simulate the flow over the wing many times. The problem is that the simulations take a long time to run, days weeks or even months. For this reason I’ve also done a lot of work in reduced order modelling. In this field we attempt to approximate simulations to save time, rather than calculating them exactly. Using these techniques I’ve worked with engineers to optimise parts of a two dimensional model of the Bloodhound Super Sonic Car.
Currently I’m working on techniques for predicting which evolutional optimisation algorithm is the best for your particular problem and using these techniques to optimise hypersonic re-entry vehicles.
