Senator endorses cybervigilantism for copyright violators
Washington Post | Submitted by: j trotter
"The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Tuesday he favors developing new technology to remotely destroy the computers of people who illegally download music from the Internet. ... During a discussion on methods to frustrate computer users who illegally exchange music and movie files over the Internet, Hatch asked technology executives about ways to damage computers involved in such file trading. ... 'If we can find some way to do this without destroying their machines, we'd be interested in hearing about that,' Hatch said. 'If that's the only way, then I'm all for destroying their machines. If you have a few hundred thousand of those, I think people would realize' the seriousness of their actions, he said. 'There's no excuse for anyone violating copyright laws,' Hatch said."

British politician attacks Iraqi WMD intelligence
politics.guardian.co.uk | Submitted by: wingnut
"Former foreign secretary Robin Cook today dealt a series of devastating blows to the government's case for a war against Iraq, saying that it was 'now clear that Saddam Hussein did not represent a "clear and serious threat."' ... Mr Cook called last September's so-called 'dodgy dossier' both a 'red herring' and a 'mistake', saying he had been 'taken aback by how thin it was.' ... Mr Cook said the government went to war with Iraq using information that was 'highly suggestible' and intelligence that was selected to fit its position. ... He said he was 'disappointed' by the quality of the intelligence in the September dossier as it did not provide 'any recent and alarming' intelligence to suggest that Iraq was a current and serious threat."

"Police in northeast Arkansas were searching Tuesday for two men who allegedly killed a 20-pound chow dog, then grilled it. ... 'We did recover some paws, but the rest of the body hasn't been found,' Jonesboro police Captain Scott Roper said. Pooh's owner, Jared Kemp, 20, identified two suspects to police, but Roper said there was no known motive for the incident. 'We don't believe at this time that they ate it,' he said of the dog."

Allah permits elderly woman to get knocked up again
News Corporation | Submitted by: Tim Howard
"A 79-year-old Pakistani great-grandmother is alleged to be four months pregnant and could become the world's oldest mother. Khurshid Bibi from the village of Ghaziabad was taken to hospital last week after she complained of pain in her slightly swollen abdomen. 'Initially we suspected that she had got an ovarian cyst and we sent her for an ultrasonography,' said Fatima Suraiya, the doctor who treated Mrs Bibi at a hospital in Multan about 125km from her village. 'But we were taken aback when the report showed that she was pregnant with a healthy fetus.' ... Mrs Bibi's husband Ahmed Din, 85, who she married in 1950, said he would be happy to have a baby after a gap of nearly 53 years and he prayed that it would be a son."

Background
Google Trends is a well-known, free tool provided by Google that allows you to analyse the popularity of top search queries, on its Google search engine. In market exploration work, we often use Google Trends to get a very quick view of what behaviours, language, and general things are trending in a market.
And of course, if you can do something in R, then why not do it in R?
Philippe Massicotte’s gtrendsR is pretty much the go-to package for running Google Trends queries in R. It’s simple, you don’t need to set up API keys or anything, and it’s fairly intuitive. Let’s have a go at this with a simple and recent example.
Example: A Controversial Song from Hong Kong
Glory to Hong Kong (Chinese: 願榮光歸香港) is a Cantonese march song which became highly controversial politically, due to its wide adoption as the “anthem” of the Hong Kong protests. Since it was written collaboratively by netizens in August 2019,1 the piece has become viral and was performed all over the world and translated into many different languages.2 It’s also available on Spotify - just to give you a bit of context of its popularity.
Analytically, it would be interesting to compare the Google search trends of the English search term (“Glory to Hong Kong”) and the Chinese search term (“願榮光歸香港”), and see what they yield respectively. When did it go viral, and which search term is more popular? Let’s find out.
Using gtrendsR
gtrendsR is available on CRAN, so just make sure it’s installed (install.packages("gtrendsR")
) and load it. Let’s load tidyverse as well, which we’ll need for the basic data cleaning and plotting:
The next step then is to assign our search terms to a character variable called search_terms
, and then use the package’s main function gtrends()
.
Let’s set the geo
argument to Hong Kong only, and limit the search period to 12 months prior to today. We’ll assign the output to a variable - and let’s call it output_results
.
search_terms <- c("Glory to Hong Kong", "願榮光歸香港")
gtrends(keyword = search_terms,
geo = "HK",
time = "today 12-m") -> output_results
output_results
is a gtrends/list object, which you can extract all kinds of data from:
## Length Class Mode
## interest_over_time 7 data.frame list
## interest_by_country 0 -none- NULL
## interest_by_region 0 -none- NULL
## interest_by_dma 0 -none- NULL
## interest_by_city 0 -none- NULL
## related_topics 0 -none- NULL
## related_queries 6 data.frame list
Let’s have a look at interest_over_time
, which is primarily what we’re interested in. You can access the data frame with the $
operator, and check out the data structure:
## Observations: 104
## Variables: 7
## $ date <dttm> 2018-10-21, 2018-10-28, 2018-11-04, 2018-11-11, 2018...
## $ hits <int> 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2,...
## $ geo <chr> "HK", "HK", "HK", "HK", "HK", "HK", "HK", "HK", "HK",...
## $ time <chr> "today 12-m", "today 12-m", "today 12-m", "today 12-m...
## $ keyword <chr> "Glory to Hong Kong", "Glory to Hong Kong", "Glory to...
## $ gprop <chr> "web", "web", "web", "web", "web", "web", "web", "web...
## $ category <int> 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,...
Let us plot this in ggplot2, just to try and replicate what we normally see on the Google Trends site - i.e. visualising the search trends over time. I really like the Economist theme from ggthemes, so I’ll use that:
output_results %>%
.$interest_over_time %>%
ggplot(aes(x = date, y = hits)) +
geom_line(colour = "darkblue", size = 1.5) +
facet_wrap(~keyword) +
ggthemes::theme_economist()
This finding above is surprising, because you would expect that Hong Kong people are more likely to search for the Chinese term rather than the English term, as the original piece was written in Cantonese.
I’ll now re-run this piece of analysis, using the shorter term 榮光, as the hypothesis is that people are more likely to search for that instead of the full song name. It could also be a quirk of Google Trends that it doesn’t return long Chinese search queries properly.
I’ll try to do this in a single pipe-line. Note what’s done differently this time:
time
is set to 3 months from today- The
onlyInterest
argument is set toTRUE
, which only returns interest over time and therefore is faster. - Google Trends returns hits as <1 as a character value for a value lower than 1, so let’s replace that with an arbitrary value 0.5 so we can plot this properly (the
hits
variable needs to be numeric).
gtrends(keyword = c("Glory to Hong Kong", "榮光"),
geo = "HK",
time = "today 3-m",
onlyInterest = TRUE) %>%
.$interest_over_time %>%
mutate_at("hits", ~ifelse(. == "<1", 0.5, .)) %>% # replace with 0.5
mutate_at("hits", ~as.numeric(.)) %>% # convert to numeric
# Begin ggplot
ggplot(aes(x = date, y = hits)) +
geom_line(colour = "darkblue", size = 1.5) +
facet_wrap(~keyword) +
ggthemes::theme_economist()
There you go! This is a much more intuitive result, where you’ll find that the search term for “榮光” reaches its peak in mid-September of 2019, whereas search volume for the English term is relatively lower, but still peaks at the same time. I should caveat that the term “榮光” simply means Glory in Chinese, which people could search for without necessarily searching for the song, but we can be pretty sure that in the context of what’s happening that this search term relates to the actual song itself.

pydrake.polynomial¶
-
class
pydrake.polynomial.
Polynomial
¶ A scalar multi-variate polynomial, modeled after the msspoly in spotless.
Polynomial represents a list of additive Monomials, each one of which is a product of a constant coefficient (of T, which by default is double) and any number of distinct Terms (variables raised to positive integer powers).
Variables are identified by integer indices rather than symbolic names, but an automatic facility is provided to covert variable names up to four characters into unique integers, provided those variables are named using only lowercase letters and the “#_.” characters followed by a number. For example, valid names include “dx4” and “m_x”.
Monomials which have the same variables and powers may be constructed but will be automatically combined: (3 * a * b * a) + (1.5 * b * a**2) will be reduced to (4.5 * b * a**2) internally after construction.
Polynomials can be added, subtracted, and multiplied. They may only be divided by scalars (of T) because Polynomials are not closed under division.
-
__init__
(*args, **kwargs)¶ Overloaded function.
- __init__(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial) -> None
Construct the vacuous polynomial, “0”.
- __init__(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial, arg0: float) -> None
Construct a Polynomial of a single constant. e.g. “5”.
- __init__(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial, arg0: numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, 1]]) -> None
A legacy constructor for univariate polynomials: Takes a vector of coefficients for the constant, x, x**2, x**3… Monomials.
-
CoefficientsAlmostEqual
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial, other: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial, tol: float = 0.0, tol_type: pydrake.common._module_py.ToleranceType = ToleranceType.absolute) → bool¶ Checks if a Polynomial is approximately equal to this one.
Checks that every coefficient of
other
is withintol
of the corresponding coefficient of this Polynomial.Note: When
tol_type
is kRelative, if any monomials appear inthis
orother
but not both, then the method returns false (since the comparison is relative to a missing zero coefficient). Use kAbsolute if you want to ignore non-matching monomials with coefficients less thantol
.
-
Derivative
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial, derivative_order: int = 1) → pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial¶ Takes the derivative of this (univariate) Polynomial.
Returns a new Polynomial that is the derivative of this one in its sole variable.
Raises: RuntimeError if this Polynomial is not univariate. If derivative_order is given, takes the nth derivative of this Polynomial.
-
GetCoefficients
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial) → numpy.ndarray[numpy.float64[m, 1]]¶
-
GetDegree
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial) → int¶ Returns the highest degree of any Monomial in this Polynomial.
The degree of a multivariate Monomial is the product of the degrees of each of its terms.
-
GetNumberOfCoefficients
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial) → int¶ Returns the number of unique Monomials (and thus the number of coefficients) in this Polynomial.
-
Integral
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial, integration_constant: float = 0.0) → pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial¶ Takes the integral of this (univariate, non-constant) Polynomial.
Returns a new Polynomial that is the indefinite integral of this one in its sole variable.
Raises: - RuntimeError if this Polynomial is not univariate, or if it has no
variables.
If integration_constant is given, adds that constant as the constant term (zeroth-order coefficient) of the resulting Polynomial.
-
IsAffine
(self: pydrake.polynomial.Polynomial) → bool¶ Returns true iff this is a sum of terms of degree 1, plus a constant.

This Discounted Smart Mug Can Keep Your Coffee Warm All Day
Amazon has discounted the app-controlled Ember Coffee Mug today, putting it on sale for just $70. That is good for around $10 off of its regular price.
Now this isn't the larger Ember that most people have seen, this is a smaller coffee mug that will keep your coffee warm for hours on end.
Ember says that this one has a battery life of about an hour, which doesn't seem like much. But it does charge wirelessly on the coaster. So as long as you leave it on your desk, it'll stay warm all day without any issues.

This is an app-controlled coffee mug that you can use to keep your coffee warm. This is really great for those that work from home. Using the app, you can set the temperature that you want your coffee to remain at. So you can keep it at the perfect temperature all day. It will work for up to 145 degrees.
The Ember Coffee Mug is also safe to wash, though I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. It probably goes without saying, but since this is a tech product, it is waterproof. With a IPX7 rating. Meaning that it can be submerged under water for a good 30 minutes without any issues. So you can put it in the sink and wash it everyday that you use it.
This coffee mug is going to be great for those that like to drink a lot of coffee or even tea. As it's going to keep it warm all day long.

All entrepreneurs and vendors needs to get a business license before they operate their business.
This includes very small businesses like pet sitting or selling cartoons on the beach.
Home based businesses, non-profits, and independent contractors receiving a 1099 tax form are all examples of cases where you need a business license.
If you are unsure if you need a business license, contact the city’s Business License Department:
{{ cms:partial:shared/contact_box_combo:"(562<EMAIL_ADDRESS>}}For more information or to apply for a business license
{{ cms:partial:shared/link_box:"http://bizport.longbeach.gov/apply/business-license-apply":"APPLY":"City of Long Beach Business License" }}Lyft, Uber and other Transportation Network Companies (TNC's) are overseen by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The City of Long Beach is not allowed to license this type of business. The State of California licenses and oversees them. If you do work from your home for a TNC that does not involve driving, you will need to get a home-based business license. Also, if you live in Long Beach and do any business from your home, you must get a home-based business license.
Do folks that rent their properties on Airbnb need a business license?
Currently no, we are not licensing Airbnb businesses since our current zoning ordinance does not allow for this type of use, so essentially all the Airbnb’s that are currently operating in Long Beach are doing so illegally.
If you volunteer and a business transaction is made, you need a business license. All vendors doing business with the City of Long Beach are required to have a business license in Long Beach.
If we get a complaint that someone is doing business without a license, the city will send out an inspector to verify. The inspector needs to witness the violation occur.

Inspired by this helpful post about Alfred, I thought I'd share a quick and easy way to shorten a URL with X.CO using Alfred.
First thing you'll need is your API key, which can be found on the Settings page.
Once you have that, you just need to fill in the Terminal Shortcut like so:
That "Command" field reads (replace KEY with the API key you copied previously): curl -s http://api.x.co/Squeeze.svc/text/KEY?url={query} | pbcopy
Hit "Save," make it "Silent" by checking that box, and you're ready to shorten. To use it, invoke Alfred, type "x http://your-url-to-shorten.com/", and press Return. Your clipboard will contain the shortened URL.
Another option that works really well is to create a Terminal Shortcut mapped to "xc" that runs the Command "curl -s http://api.x.co/Squeeze.svc/text/KEY?url=$(pbpaste) | pbcopy
". This version will pull the source URL from your clipboard, shorten it, and replace it on the clipboard with the shortened form. That is very handy.

Boxer, Schumer, Hirono Announce Legislation to Take the Threat of Default Off the Table for Good
Would Allow Congress to Disapprove Debt Ceiling Increases
Plan Would Allow Members of Congress to Oppose Debt Ceiling Increases but Avoid Standoffs by Making it Harder to Use the Debt Ceiling as Political Leverage
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senators Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Charles E. Schumer (D-NY), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) introduced new legislation – the Pay Our Bills Act – that would permanently allow Congress to disapprove debt ceiling increases, instead of approving them. The plan, based on the ‘McConnell rule’ first proposed in 2011 and employed again in the most recent agreement to end the shutdown and avoid default, would drastically reduce the chances that the debt ceiling could be used as a political weapon designed to extract policy concessions from the opposing party. Boxer, Schumer and Hirono argued that even coming close to default has serious consequences for the American economy and must be avoided.
“We know from recent history that even the threat of not paying our bills does serious damage to our economy,” Boxer said. “It’s time for us to put in place a straightforward process to avoid a catastrophic default on our nation’s debt. The Pay Our Bills Act gives both houses of Congress and the President a say, but sends a strong message of certainty to the markets, to our families and to the world.”
“The way it works right now, the debt ceiling is like a ticking time bomb that threatens massive economic destruction,” said Schumer. “This bill would defuse it. By forcing Congress to disapprove debt ceiling increases, we greatly reduce the risk of default that would be a crushing blow to our economy – taking money out of middle-class pockets and destroying middle-class jobs. I hope our Republican colleagues will do the right thing and join in our efforts to limit the risk of default and provide certainty to American families and businesses.”
“Keeping the government running and paying our bills are core responsibilities of Congress. It is simply irresponsible to shut the government down or to threaten to default on our national debt in order to extract political concessions. The full faith and credit of the United States should not be taken hostage,” Hirono said. “This bill frees the hostage and prevents the debt limit from being used as a political football in the future. It will make sure we meet our obligations and prevent the kind of brinksmanship that the American people are sick and tired of seeing in Washington.”
The disapproval mechanism or ‘McConnell rule’ was temporarily included in the bipartisan Senate agreement that reopened the government and avoided default earlier this month. This same mechanism was also used to lift the debt ceiling twice following passage of the Budget Control Act. Under the new law, the President has suspended the debt ceiling until February 7, and to disapprove the increase in the debt limit Congress must pass a resolution of disapproval. If Congress passes the resolution of disapproval, the President has the option to veto the resolution. If Congress so chooses, it may attempt to override the veto with a two-thirds majority. However, subsequent increases in the debt ceiling will still have to be approved by Congress.
Boxer, Schumer, and Hirono are pushing for the ‘McConnell rule’ to be made permanent for all future increases in the debt limit, requiring that if Congress chooses to consider a resolution of disapproval it does so within 15 days after the President proposes an increase. When the country is close to exhausting its borrowing authority, the President may choose to lift the debt ceiling, which would trigger the resolution of disapproval process. The Senators argue that the proposal still gives Congress the authority to oppose an increase, but makes it much less likely that the debt ceiling can be used by either party to pursue policy changes on unrelated issues.

The Thecodonts were a diverse group of Triassic reptiles that included small, agile two- and four-legged forms, large four-legged carnivores, armored herbivores, and crocodile-like aquatic reptiles. They gave rise to crocodiles, dinosaurs, and probably flying reptiles (pterosaurs).
The Thecodontia are defined by certain shared primitive or ancestral features, such as the suborbital fenestra (an opening on each side of the skull between the eye sockets and the nostrils) and teeth in sockets. The name Thecodont is actually Latin for “socket-tooth,” referring to the fact that thecodont teeth were set in sockets in the jawbones; an archosaurian characteristic that was inherited by the dinosaurs.
Thecodontia therefore is an evolutionary grade of animals, rather than a clade. They represent a "grab-bag" taxon for any archosaur that wasn't a crocodilian, a pterosaur, or a dinosaur. Most palaeontologists nowadays use the term "basal archosaur" to refer to Thecodonts.
The Thecodontia are generally divided into four suborders, the Proterosuchia, Phytosauria, the Aetosauria, and the Pseudosuchia. However the Pseudosuchia constitute an artificial group, having the same "grab-bag" status within the Thecodontia as the Thecodontia have within the Archosauria.


Becoming a nurse is one of the most selfless acts a person can undertake. In a society of so many different races, cultures, customs, and beliefs, nurses are a universal gift to all, and the dedicated work that they do and kindness they deliver on a daily basis should serve as a reminder of the fundamental humanity inside us all.
Hire now About Us"When I think about all the patients and their loved ones I have worked with over the years, I know most of them don't remember me, nor I them. But I do know that I gave a little piece of myself to each of them, and they to me, and those threads
make up the tapestry that is my career in nursing."
"Every nurse was drawn to nursing because of a desire to care, to serve, or to help."

CSE202 HW1
Problem 1 (KT 4.2a)
YES. T is still the MST for new instance.
Proof by contraction
- Assume original MST is T and new MST is T’
- $T \neq T’$, at least one edge is different
- $\exists$ $e_1 \in T$ and $e_2 \in T’$, whose $cost(e_1) < cost(e_2)$ and $cost^2(e_1) > cost^2(e_2)$
- However, the above mathematical expression doesn’t hold
Problem 2 (KT 4.2b)
No. The P is no longer the shortest path for new instance.
As we can see, in the Dijkastra’s algorithm, the edge e(s,t) is the shortest path with cost = 7. After squaring the cost, there is a shortest path P’ = s -> a -> t with cost of 32 < cost(P) = 49.
Problem 3 (KT 17)
Algorithm:
- Let $I = \{I_1, I_2, …, I_n\}$ and best = 0
- Sort I based on the finish time, f(i)
- for i in n
- let $R = I \setminus \{I_j | i \neq j$ and $I_i \cap I_j \neq \emptyset\}$
- let num_of_jobs = perfome regular interval scheduling algorithm on R
- best = max(best, num_of_jobs + 1)
Time complexity anaylysis:
Step 2, sorting takes $O(nlogn)$.
Step 3, the for loops takes $O(n^2)$ overall, since looping through intervals takes O(n), pruning + regular interval scheduling algorithm takes O(n)
So time complexity = $O(nlogn + n^2)$ = $O(n^2)$.
Space complexity analysis:
We don’t use any extra space, so space complexity = O(1).
Proof of Optimality:
Claim:
The algorithm above provides the optimal solution.
Proof:
Let’s say the optimal solution is S*, which contains a $I_i$. Since above algorithm is brute force algorithm go through each job, we are guranteed that when are checing the optimal number for $I_i$ the number is updated.
Problem 4
Algorithm:
Let $J = \{J_1, J_2, …, J_n\}$, where $J_i$ contains $c_i$ and $p_i$
Let $C = C_0$
while k > 0
- find project x, which $c_x <= C$ and $p_x$ is max
- if $x = \emptyset$ break
- $C \gets C + p_x$
- $k \gets k - 1$
Proof of Optimality:
Claim:
The gready algorithm above produces the optimal capital, C*.
Proof:
Let’s say in loop i, we have capital C, we choose a different $J_y$. Since our algorithm picks $J_x$, it implies that $p_y \leq p_x$ and also new capital $C’ \leq C$. In the next round, when we consider all the jobs whose cost are smaller than the current capital, the new heap $H’ \subseteq H$, which shows that our algorithm stays ahead in every step.
Time Complexity:
T = O(kn), if k = n we have $T = O(n^2)$.
Space Complexity:
No extra space, so space complexity = O(1).
Improved Algorithm:
Let $J = \{J_1, J_2, …, J_n\}$, where $J_i$ contains $c_i$ and $p_i$, then sort J based on $c_i$
Let H = maxheap sorted on J’s profit
Let $C = C_0$
Let z = 1, pointer for J
loop add_job:
while $z \leq n$ and $c_z \leq C$
- push $J_z$ to H
- $z \gets z + 1$
excute loop add_job
while k > 0 and H is not empty
- $J_x$ = extractMax from H
- $C \gets C + p_x$
- execute loop add_job
- $k \gets k - 1$
Time Complexity:
- Sorting takes O(nlogn).
- Extractmax takes retrieval + deletion = O(1) + O(logn) = O(logn). For k loops, complexity = O(klogn).
- The add_job inserts n jobs, each insertion takes O(logi) where i = size of heap. So $\sum_i^n log(i) = O(nlogn)$.
- So overall = O(nlogn + klogn) = O(nlogn), since $k \leq n$
Space Complexity:
O(n) for storing all the projects in the heap.
Problem 5
Algorithm:
sort $T = \{t_1, t_2, …, t_n\}$ in decreasing order
sort $W = \{w_1, w_2, …, w_n\}$ in decreasing order
Let i = 1, pointer for T
Let j = 1, pointer for W
Let result = {}
while $i \leq n$
- If $t_i$ / $w_j$ $\leq D$
- $i \gets i + 1$
- $j \gets j + 1$
- result + {i, j}
- else
- $i \gets i + 1$
Proof of Optimality:
Claim:
The above algorithm produces the optimal assignment, R.
Proof:
Assume there is a better assignment R’, where |R’| > |R|.
This can happen by either case:
- R’ = R + {i, j}
- R’ have different arrangement of pairs that vacant a machine to take on another task, resulting more tasks to be taken
For case 1, let’s say in step i, our algorithm rejects the task because $t_i$ / $w_j$ $\gt D$, but R’ takes this pair {i, j}. This will be a violation to the requirement since this machine can’t complete the task on time.
For case 2, the only way that R’ and R will take on different arrangement is when R decides to take the pair {i, j} but R’ decides to ignore the $t_i$. This have vacated the $w_j$, we now have |R| > |R’|. In the next round, $w_j$ can try to take the $t_{i+1}$, making $|R’| \gets |R’| + 1$ or 0. In the meantime, R could either take the new pair {i+1, j+1} or rejects. In the best case scenario, $|R’| \gets |R’| + 1$, while |R| stays, making |R’| = |R| in this round. However, in every round, |R| $\geq$ |R’|.

We are a group of four students studying at NYU Abu Dhabi and we made this film as part of our summer course, Communications Lab, taught by professor Pierre Depaz. This is our entry to the annual 30-Minute Film Festival 2021.
Since we had quite a trouble trying to decide on a topic, our film depicts an almost alternate reality where everything goes smoothly and we are able to come up with an idea rather quickly. This film idea was first initiated by our teammate, Minnie Mouse, and our group as a whole all liked it and decided to continue with it.
Our filming took about 15 minutes and we recorded it using Zoom. We spent another 10-15 minutes searching for and adding the background song using iMovie.
Although filming and editing a film in half an hour was a little stressful, it was a great experience overall and we had a lot of fun making our movie. We could not include everything we planned because of the time constraints, but sharing our film with our class and watching other films of our classmates' was super enjoyable. At the end of the day, it is the experience that matters, not the outcome :)

Learning to code has presented challenges at every turn: technical concepts have been hard to grasp at first glance and it's usually through hours of trial and error that I am able to code a working solution. As a result, learning has required resourcefulness. Thankfully there's a lot of documentation available on the web: forums such as stackoverflow and stackexchange are terrific places for exchanging knowledge and I've learned a lot about how to solve various programming issues through these sites.
Because of the mass of information out there, it's important to parse it wisely -- a big part of that entails in asking questions the right way. Well-written questions are specific, informative, and concise.
Many questions have already been asked and answered, and specific questions demonstrate how the situation at hand is different from the ones already on the site. Informative questions are easy to read and understand: they always explain the attempted solution and the resulting problem, and they provide context such as the web language and platform. Informative questions also include information such as error messages and snippets of relevant code. Lastly, good questions need to be concise. It allows readers to scan through your question and quickly understand the issue at hand. A good title improves the chances for your question to be answered.
Here are some great resources on how to ask questions:

[artemii235/SuperNET] Issue opened: #304 Improve DHT state renames
We're getting the "Invalid cross-device link" error sometimes while trying to save the DHT state:
https://discordapp.com/channels/412898016371015680/476025090627207168/544840686927609856

We should probably create the temporary file in the same folder we're saving it to in order to avoid this. (Another option is to
copy
the file if
rename
fails, but that's less reliable).

Boxer Amir Khan wants Sports Ministry from PM Imran | Pakistan - Geo.tv
by Faizan LakhaniLONDON: British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan says he wants to become the Sports Minister of Pakistan to develop sports in the country.
After Geo News published a story of Amir Khan complaining that he was “disappointed” with PM Imran Khan’s performance and that he has done nothing for sports in Pakistan, Amir Khan issued a clarification on Friday and said he didn’t mean to criticise Imran Khan but set out a new demand.
He said: “I am willing to put myself forward as the Sports Minister of Pakistan to help and also to liase ease with Imran Khan. At the same time it will take the pressure off him.”
Amir Khan said making him the sports minister will help Imran Khan because he will know that “somebody is controlling that side of sports for him”.
Amir Khan said that Imran Khan was doing a great job for Pakistan, but he didn’t have times for sports and making him a minister will benefit him and the country.
Amir Khan said he was not putting pressure on Imran Khan and not blaming him for lack of sports developments in the country.
He said Imran Khan was doing a lot of things and Pakistan was getting better and stronger.
Khan had earlier said that Imran had not “not done much for sports”.
The boxing star said: “So you know even though he is a great person but for sports he has not done nothing. Being a sports man he has not done anything for sports”.
Amir Khan, who is a friend of Imran Khan, said that “all the people in Pakistan are crying”.
Khan had credited himself for being “the only person that does anything for sports”.
He said in the interview that he was taking Pakistani boxers “around the world to put them into matches".

Torque 2D - Whack-A-Mole Tutorial Part 1
In this tutorial you will learn how to create a Whack-A-Mole game using Torque 2D (T2D) Level Builder and some scripting. The tutorial consists of five parts in which we will gradually create a playable game from the ground up.
First things first - Creating a New Project
Part 1 - Create a Mole
Load in our images
Now we will create the first version of the mole. The aim for this level is to put the mole on the screen and make him disappear when clicked on.
First we need to setup the images and Animations for our mole. Import the "moleArt" resource. If you don't know how to add resources, click here.If you don't know how to add resources, click here.
Now your object library should be populated with all of the mole art (as shown in Figure 1.4)
.
Figure 1.4
Putting our mole on the screen
Now we will put the mole on the screen. This is rather easy. Go to the right panel and select the CREATE tab. Next, go down to the Animated Sprites rollout and drag and drop the three mole sprites with heads above-ground into the center of your level (as shown in Figure 1.5).
Figure 1.5
You can test the game going to Project > Run Game. You will probably be told that you have to save the level before you can test it. Save it as level1.t2d in WhackAMole/data/levels/. When you finally test your game, you should see the moles sitting there doing nothing. In the next part of the tutorial, we will change that.
Making our mole disappear
Next we need to make the mole disappear when it is clicked on. To accomplish this we will need some scripting. Close T2D and create a new file called mole.cs in WhackAMole/gameScripts/ and open it in your favorite script editor. Let's first write the function mole::onAdd(). This function will be called automatically when a new mole is created. We use onAdd() here instead of onLevelLoaded() because later on we will be creating moles after the game has been loaded and started. This way, even those moles will be setup correctly. We will use this to set our moles to use "mouse events". Mouse events will allow us to perform an action when we click or drag on our object.
function mole::onAdd(%this) { // enable mouse events for the mole so we can easily determine when it is clicked on %this.setUseMouseEvents( true ); }
Code Sample 1.1
Now let's make the mole clickable. Add this function right after the other one:
function mole::onMouseDown(%this, %modifier, %worldPosition, %mouseClicks) { if( %this.getAnimationName() $= ("animMoleComeOut" @ %this.moleColor) ) %this.playAnimation( "animMoleWhacked" @ %this.moleColor ); }
Code Sample 1.2
If the mole is playing the animMoleComeOutXXX animation when you click on it, it will play the animMoleWhackedXXX animation. If you click on the mole while it's sinking into the hole again, it will start playing the animMoleWhackedXXX animation again from the beginning. Note that we append the variable %this.moleColor to the animation names. This variable must hold the color - Red, Green, or Lilac - of the mole. This way the right animation names are generated and we use the same code for moles of all colors. For now we have to set this variable by hand in the level builder but later in the tutorial you will see that this is done automatically. The mole also should disappear when the animation has finished, so we add another function to the end of our file:
function mole::onAnimationEnd(%this) { if( %this.getAnimationName() !$= ("animMoleComeOut" @ %this.moleColor) ) %this.safeDelete(); }
Code Sample 1.3
When an animation has completed this function is called. Then we check to make sure that the animation that has just ended is not the animation that is triggered when the mole comes out, if so then the mole is deleted at the end of its animation.
We need to do two things. First we need to make sure the engine knows to run the script file we just created. We can do this with a command called "exec()". This command basically tells the engine that we want a script file included when it runs, otherwise anything in that script won't be utilized. The second thing we have to do is turn on mouse events for the t2dSceneWindow our game runs in (otherwise the mole::onMouseDown() function we specified above will not work). This is done by navigating to the WhackAMole/gameScripts/game.cs file and modifying the startGame() function to look like this (new code is bolded):
function startGame(%level) { //exec game scripts exec("./mole.cs"); // Set The GUI. Canvas.setContent(mainScreenGui); Canvas.setCursor(DefaultCursor); new ActionMap(moveMap); moveMap.push(); $enableDirectInput = true; activateDirectInput(); enableJoystick(); // this has been added: sceneWindow2D.setUseObjectMouseEvents( true ); sceneWindow2D.loadLevel(%level); }
Code Sample 1.4
Now open the level builder, select one of the mole sprites in the Scene View and go to the EDIT tab to the right (as shown in Figure 1.6).
Figure 1.6
Next, add a dynamic field to the mole called "moleColor" and give it a value
depending on the mole you are editing (either "red", "green", or
"Lilac"). If you don't know how to add dynamic fields, click here.If you don't know how to add dynamic fields, click here.
|
|
Figure 1.9 |
|
|
That should be enough to get the mole clickable. Save all files, and click on the Play Level Button (as shown in Figure 1.10) or go to Project > Run Game. |
Now when you click on a mole, first the animMoleWhackedXXX animation should be played then it should disappear altogether.

Description:
Fast key-value storage library, provides ordered mapping from string keys to string values.
Keys and values are arbitrary byte arrays.
Data stored sorted by key.
Supports a few basic operations: 1. Put(key, value) 2. Get(key) 3. Delete(key)
Stores keys and values in arbitrary byte arrays, and data is sorted by key. Supports batching writes, forward and backward integration.
Sequence of key value pairs in file are stored in sorted ordered and partitioned into a sequence of data blocks. The data blocks are formatted according to the code in block builder, before being optionally compressed.
General types of blocks: 1. Data blocks 2.
The metablocks describe one entry for every other meta block where the key is the name of the meta block and the value is a BlockHandle pointing to meta block.

return entries that match all substrs
.
This method serves for interactive exploration of available entries and may be aliased to the shortcut of calling the instance itself.
When given several substrs
arguments the results match each
substring (AND search, an OR can be simply achieved by appending
the result of two finds). Upper/lower case is ignored.
When given a single substrs
argument, it may be
type
int
A single substring matches either if an entry contains the substring or if the substring matches as regular expression, where "." matches any single character and ".*" matches any number >= 0 of characters.
>>> from cocopp.toolsdivers import StrList >>> s = StrList(['abc', 'bcd', 'cde', ' cde']) >>> s('bc') # all strings with a 'bc' ['abc', 'bcd'] >>> s('a', 'b') # all strings with an 'a' AND 'b' ['abc'] >>> s(['a', 'b']) # the same ['abc'] >>> s('.c') # regex 'c' as second char ['bcd', ' cde'] >>> s('.*c') # regex 'c' preceded with any sequence ['abc', 'bcd', 'cde', ' cde']
Details: The list of matching names is stored in found
.
print the result of find(*substrs) with indices.
Details: does not change found

Using relative units of measurement like percentages is excellent for creating responsive and fluid
designs, but it's a pain to combine with absolute units (px, em, and such). The calc()
CSS function
finally relieves that pain, and can give your layouts quite a kick!
Stop! Demo-time!
How does it work?
It's pretty easy — the calc()
function can be used anywhere lengths are required. This means
it can be used in margin, padding, width, heights background-position, background-size, gradient-stops,
and a lot more. Plus you can nest multiple calc()
calls if you want.
The calc()
function accepts any regular arithmetic: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*) and
division (/). There are a few things to keep in mind: first off, you have to have a space between the
minus/plus/whatever signs, or the browser interprets it as a sign instead of an operator. Secondly, you
can't divide by a length, only by a number. For example, this would be a valid expression: calc(100% -
1em + 1px)
.
It would get even better if we could use the code>min(a, b) and max(a, b)
functions, but they have not ye been
implemented by any browser vendor.
Useful?
Ok, looks quite useful, but where would I need it? Here are some hands-on examples:
-
Put a fixed width float next to a percentage width float:
width: calc(100% - FIXED_FLOAT_WIDTHpx)
-
Center content with retaining backgrounds by using:
padding: 0 calc(50% - WIDTHpx / 2);
-
Making gradients that combine percentages and pixels and measure from both sides:
background-image: linear-gradient(top, black 1px, powderblue 1px, skyblue calc(100% - 1px), black calc(100% - 1px) );
Sweet, but can I use it today?
Yes, almost all major browser vendors support calc()
— the only absentee seems to be Opera.
Chrome, Safari and Firefox still have a bit of trouble using them in combination with the new vh
and vw
units. Also, Chrome and Safari don't seem to recalculate the values if used in a gradient (so you'd have to refresh
to see it properly). Firefox does not seem to like calc()
in a gradient, it works however in Firefox Aurora.
Show me the source!
Feel free to look around the differente source files we used for this example.
