Howdy all! The new year is coming, as is a new server for Ctrl-C.club (yay!). To keep our community happy and healthy, I wanted to let everybody know that we'll have some new policies in the coming year.
I've tried to keep the rules on Ctrl-C.club slim, but due to some confusion and the behavior of some bad actors, I feel it's important to clarify some of the expectations on the server.
Ctrl-C.club's new policies:
As much as I love seeing the neat things that people build, too many sketchy individuals have simply been using our service to run their eggdrop bots, and enough of these have been used for nefarious purposes that I no longer feel comfortable allowing them to run freely on the server. If you're running or would like to run an eggdrop for non-nefarious purposes, please reach out to me to discuss (See "Contacting the Admin" below).
Any eggdrop services that are still running will be manually stopped on January 9, 2021. Any users that restart an eggdrop without prior discussion will be summarily removed.
This means no email servers, IRC servers, web servers, Gemini servers, etc. Although a small web server to test an app is fine, if you'd like to make it generally available please reach out to me (See "Contacting the Admin" below) and we'll see about making it available through our Nginx server.
This includes docker, junest, vagrant, and so forth. These are all very heavy on our system, and if you need a different OS, there are probably better solutions out there for you than Ctrl-C.club.
We just don't have the power on the server to do it, and it negatively affects all our users.
This could get our whole server shut down, let's keep Ctrl-C.club working and wholesome for everybody!
Nobody likes spam. Don't be that guy/gal.
This one kind of goes without saying.
This has been a soft limit for a while, but the rules were hard to find or understand, and it has been unevenly enforced. With the available space on the server getting a little tight, it makes sense to clear out some old data and make room for people to experiment. It's not a problem if you go over a bit on a temporary basis; we're not setting disk quotas. Just make sure to tidy up after yourself. :)
If you need a little more room than this, feel free to reach out (See "Contacting the Admin" below).
If you're already over this limit, you'll be contacted at the email you signed up with by January 9, 2021. If there is no response within two weeks, your account will be archived. The data will be kept available for re-upload if you reach back out to me.
Our users make cool stuff, and I love showing it off! Do reach out if you've made something neat (or know someone who's made something neat), I want to highlight it on our homepage. Or if you have a thought on how to better show off what our users are doing, let me know!
I want to thank all our users who have made (and continue to make!) Ctrl-C.club such a great and cool and wholesome place over the years. I love that we're doing so many awesome things. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas season, and as always, learn a bunch and have fun!

Canaan Mining May Settle for Modest $100M IPO
by Christine VasilevaCanaan Mining’s IPO in New York may raise only $100 million, at least based on recent edits to the prospectus. The company will aim to list on NASDAQ and become the first Chinese mining equipment producer to trade as a public stock.
Canaan May Reflect Worsened Sentiment About Crypto Investments
Just days after Canaan scheduled the IPO deadline for November 20, the success of the stock placement is put in question. Initially, Canaan Mining planned to raise as much as $400 million. Based on previous private placements, Canaan has been evaluated in the billions.
Dovey Wan, co-founder of Primitive Crypto, pointed out the fact that Canaan was not ready to raise the funds previously intended.
Credit Suisse, the leading underwriter for the IPO, reportedly also left. The IPO problems arrive despite relatively robust results from Canaan for the past quarter. The company hoped to raise funds and go public a year after failing to list on the Hong Kong exchange.
The lower target for the IPO is seen as a sign of a worsened sentiment about cryptocurrencies and the activity of mining. Despite the growth in mining in 2019, there are still doubts the activity is viable. Additionally, the centralization of mining farms in China is seen as a risk factor.
Mining Profitability Highly Uncertain
At the moment, mining teeters on the brink of breakeven, depending on the BTC market price. With cheap electricity and an older investment, a large-scale pool can be viable. But for Canaan’s Avalon 1066, the machine marks an annual loss of around $150, and as deep as $700 with more unfavorable BTC prices and less rewards. The current loss of the S9 Antminer by competitor Bitmain is at around $500 and varying each day.
Just as the Canaan IPO news surfaced, BTC mining underwent another unexplained downturn. The BTC hashrate is down to 78 quintillion hashes per second, down from a recent high above 104 quintillion hashes. The sudden drop may be a concerted effort to once again turn down difficulty. The next difficulty adjustment comes in about a week, and if miners keep activity low, they may enjoy another difficulty downturn.
With mining’s uncertainty, recent comments saw the attempt of Canaan Mining and its rival Bitmain as desperate moves to secure funds and additional liquidity. Canaan has been plagued by volatile earnings, with a 50% drop in revenues in 2019 despite the pickup in mining. Bitmain, on the other hand, is having leadership problems, as one of its co-founders, Zhan “Micree” Ketuan, was ousted and banned from physically accessing the offices.

The Rundown


Neal Stephenson - Seveneves
Neal Stephenson - Seveneves. London: Harper Collins. 880 pp.
Epic science fiction yarn as humanity passes through an evolutionary bottleneck. Like most Stephenson books, too long as he can’t resist demonstrating how thoroughly well-informed he has made himself in the physics and engineering principles that much of the action revolves around. The ideas are good though, and the stories and personal tragedies and triumphs of the main characters carry the narrative through some unconvincing scenarios. Such as the (largely) orderley response of most nations and most of the population after the realisation that 99% of humanity is doomed. Hopefully we never do the experiment, but I reckon a Lord of the Flies type of scenario on a global scale would be more likely.
(The nature of the catastrophe that causes the Moon to fragment and thus destory Earth is never explained. Knowing the Cryptonomicon series of novels, I’m wondering if Stephenson has left that thread hanging for future development.)
The intrusion of a power-hungry self-interested politician (a female US President seemingly modelled on Hilary Clinton) into an otherwise skills-based space station population whose challenge is to survive the demise of the Earth below was very believable. Very unbelievable, however, is the method by which she does it.
 These lineages each head off in evolutionarily distinct directions in scenarios that explore some of the enduring themes in evolutionary biology. Most (the “Seven Eves”) are driven by the founder effect - the engineered genetic differences chosen for themselves by the founding mothers of each race. But two more lineages survive, each of which also diverges, but those differences are driven by natural selection operating on characteristics adaptive to the extreme environments where they are confined.
So the novel could be read as an fugue on the past history of humanity, where bottlenecks, a hypothesised “African Eve”, adaptation to extreme environments, and genetic drift have all happend to our own ancestral populations.
Ultimately the separate lineages in Neal Stephenson’s novel come together again, but not peacefully and in barely controlled co-existence. Read any current news bulletin and it is hard to escape the thought that Stephenson’s novel is an analogy of the invention and perseverance, but also the violent racial history and prejudice that modern humanity confronts itself with.
For all it’s faults, or perhaps because of them, I often find myself thinking back on different themes. A very good read.
It is worth mentioning that Neal Stephenson’s own spin on his novel is rather different. And he would know.

SPOILERS BELOW!
After finally seeing The Blair Witch Project (TBWP), my first thought was: "I have not been affected like I was supposed to, back when I first heard about this film in February." Of course, the film doesn't live up to the hype, not that any other film in history ever did. The hype surrounding this film is comparable to that of this year's Star Wars, and quite possibly 1989's Batman, which is the most hyped film I can ever remember. But the film on its own isn't bad, it's just not very good either.
The premise, which everyone on earth is now familiar with, is that you are watching the filmed footage of three twentysomethings who went into the woods and disappeared while looking for the legendary Blair Witch. One of the major flaws of the film is that it never gives you a background on the witch, other than snippets of interviews with the locals the kids do in the first 20 minutes of the movie. And I don't want to hear that I should've visited the website, either! It should be in the movie. That's complete hogwash.
The middle third of the movie shows the kids having a group mental breakdown as they become more and more lost, even retracing their own steps. The last third deals with one of the three disappearing and screaming in the distance, and the other two's search for him. This final act of the film is the best part of the movie, but unfortunately you wait 60 minutes for it. The night scenes are tense, but not frightening. The only part that actually upset me was the last scenes of the film, when the two remaining filmmakers stumble upon a dilapidated house in the middle of nowhere, and their friend screams from within. The two forget that they are in mortal danger, and run thru the house looking for their friend. This also is the part that I didn't understand: why are the remaining two still filming? It doesn't make sense. It's just too incredulous to even consider.
The film ends abruptly, and the audience that I saw it with wasn't satisifed. But if you think about it, it can end only one way. There was much confusion from friends who saw it regarding what the remaining boy was doing standing in the corner for the last scene. After I explained that one of the interviewees briefly touched on a hermit (not the witch) who was possessed in the 1940's and made one person stand in a corner while he gutted the other, my friends said they missed that. I have to admit, I didn't miss it, but wondered why the witch would do that. The film does explain some of the ways the witch kills, but this was not one of them. After thinking about this some time, I realized it was a plot device to allow the viewer some, albeit little, closure. Another scene involves the finding of bloody teeth in the forrest after the one filmmaker disappears and his heard to be screaming in agony. I felt the scene wasn't necessary, and got away from the spirit of the film. If the film's premise is "it's best not to know", why go against it?
In any event, I rate the film ** out of **** stars and add: wait for the video.

Introduction
This week I turn the tables on myself and take a look at how one page of this User Science Journal looks through the lens of W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).
I randomly chose Blog 3 Usability Tests for this evaluation. Based on this review, the webpage is actually pretty close to meeting WCAG 2.1, Conformance Level AA.
Scope of Review
The webpage reviewed is https://www.campbellgroup.live/user-science-christine/post3.html. The web page is written in English. The review was conducted on 5/15/2020.
Purpose of the Site
The purpose of User Science Journal Blog Post 3 is to serve as a way to share my learning and thinking as it pertains to user experience. Blog Post 3 was a write up of a usability test of Seattle University’s Student Support Center, as experienced by desktop users.
Review Process
The review process consisted of reviewing the website through WebAIm’s Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool - WAVE on the accessibility standard of WCAG 2.1. I also manually checked links and forms. The site was evaluated on coding style, assistive attributes, and relative levels of support for different assistive needs.
The evaluation results in this report are based on evaluation conducted on 5/15/2020. I have worked to address the errors after running the evaluation.
Results and Recommended Actions
This website appears to be close to meeting WCAG 2.1 A, AA, AAA.
Most of the accessibility issues are in the masthead area, as shown in the image below, and are a result of content I added or removed.
Resolving Empty Links
An empty link where home navigation should be
Below, highlighted in grey, is the line of code that is missing a link.
My name was originally in that link, but it was too long and getting in the way of the titles so I took it out as I built out the website. Since it’s really meant to bring you home, and my name is already on the page, I decided to insert “Home” in there, which fixed the empty link issue.
Empty links in social media
The remaining empty links are for the social media links in the footer, as shown below, highlighted by the evaluation.
I had been wondering how to add my links to these social media buttons so this was a good time to try to figure it out. I added my personal links to the href line of code, and tested them to make sure they worked. They did!
But when I ran the page through WAVE again, I was still getting blank label messages so with a little help from my instructor, I learned that I needed to add aria labels, like I did here with Twitter in the image below.
When I reran the page through the WAVE checker, I had solved all of my empty links.
Low Contrast Errors
Four low contrast errors in the masthead
All four low contrast errors are in the masthead. I have often been frustrated by the dark overlay in this Bootstrap template on the banner images and I can see how that would make reading the headline even harder for screen readers or people with visual impairments. The code below is an example of how WAVE shows where the low visibility issues are showing up, with red boxes.
In order to fix this, I went into the code for the page header and found the culprit: a div class called overlay. I removed this line of code and it brightened up my banner image.
But when I ran the page through the WAVE checker again, it still showed low visibility. I tried a number of other images, using several color contrast checkers to help me choose a new image, and still kept having low visibilty errors. The best combination suggestion for white font seemed to be a green background. I tried a number of green banner images and still had trouble with WAVE. Ultimately, it appears that WAVE has some trouble checking visibility, so I went with what was suggested by the checkers and used a green background, below.
Conclusion
The website for User Science Journal Blog Post 3 was already built with accessibility in mind. The issues that arose upon evaluation - empty links and low contrast - were the result of my content additions. The fixes took a bit of time to resolve because I had never encountered them before and needed to learn how to repair them. In the future, I can imagine being able to quickly fix them, and probably won't make those errors again, now that I know they cause problems with accessibility.

Hello world!
Here's the file structure of this webpage:
Visit the Class Page to view more


One common flaw we've seen in many frameworks is a lack of support for truly responsive text. While elements on the page resize fluidly, text still resizes on a fixed basis. To ameliorate this problem, for text heavy pages, we've created a class that fluidly scales text size and line-height to optimize readability for the user. Line length stays between 45-80 characters and line height scales to be larger on smaller screens.

If you have any inquiries regarding our partner's privacy
practices or how they use personal information, please contact us
directly at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>We may disclose personal information about you as required
by law and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our
rights and/or comply with a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal
process served on our Web site. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, we also may disclose personal information about you in response to
law enforcement agencies or other public agencies (including schools or
children services) request or if we feel that such disclosure may
prevent the instigation of a crime, facilitate an investigation related
to public safety or protect the safety of a child using our website,
protect the security or integrity of our website, or enable us to take
precautions against liability or to protect our rights.
We offer users the ability to use forums and similar means
of public discussion. If a user 13 years old or over uses any messaging,
posting, or chat functions on Roblox, they should be aware that any
personal information submitted there will be available to anyone who has
access to that content, including other users, and can be read,
collected, or used by other users of these forums, and could be used to
send unsolicited messages. We are not responsible for how other
individuals use the information posted in this manner.
Information about our users may be disclosed and otherwise
transferred to an acquirer, successor, or assignee as part of any
merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or similar transaction, or in the
event of an insolvency, bankruptcy, or receivership in which information
is transferred to one or more third parties as one of our business
assets.
Security & Data Retention
The security of your personal information is important to
us. When you enter sensitive information (such as credit card numbers)
on our registration or order forms, we encrypt that information using
secure socket layer technology (SSL) or similar technologies.
We use reasonable measures intended to protect the personal
or other sensitive information submitted to us, both during transmission
and once we receive it. No method of transmission over the Internet, or
method of electronic storage, is 100% secure, however. Therefore, while
we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal
information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Roblox retains account data internally for three purposes:
(i) billing information and transaction histories are retained to
resolve subsequent billing disputes and inquiries; (ii) public domain
content is retained for use by the community (e.g. a virtual shirt sold
by the child to another user is kept in the system because the recipient
now “owns” a copy of that article); and (iii) user account history is
retained to support subsequent customer service inquiries.
Children's Privacy
Registered users who are under 13 years old interact with
the Roblox world in what we call "Privacy Mode." Privacy Mode limits who
may interact with a user outside of games and limits the user to a
whitelist-filtered language system for making posts in all public and
comment areas of the site. If a user under the age of 13 uses our
messaging, posting, or chat functions, these features are filtered
and/or moderated so that users are prevented from posting personal
information about themselves.
We proactively filter the site to remove references to
addresses, emails, phone numbers, and other personal information
regardless of security and privacy settings. All text is also filtered
for profanity, phishing, and adult or suggestive content. Our system is a
combination of human and automated processes; like all filtering
technology, our systems are not 100% effective.
Options for Parents
When a child adds a parent's email address to their account,
the parent receives an email notification of the account creation and
an invitation to review and/or update settings for the child's account.
To make any requests for changes to your child's account or requests for
the removal of personal information about you or your child from our
services or that we stop the further collection or use (as applicable)
of your or your child's personal information, contact us at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>If a parent closes a child's account by contacting Roblox customer service at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>this hides the account from all other Roblox users and outside parties.
We may use the birthdate a child used when signing up for
our site to “graduate” him/her to have broader access to features on our
sites when that user turns 13 years old. If we do so, we will attempt
to notify the parent (by notifying the email address on file) prior to
graduation and give them information on the change and what to do if
they do not want this graduation to occur. We will also notify the user
in advance through a message on the site.

Larissa Becker, director of operations and engagement for university Well-Being and Recreation, said students can find a slew of recreational activities that target their well-being needs.
“All of our recreational activities are popular to varying groups of students,” Becker said in an email. “We tend to see our largest engagement of student activity for open recreation at the Ping Center.”
Ping Center holds numerous recreational opportunities including fitness classes, cardio-workout machines, a rock-climbing wall and more. Due to current COVID-19 guidelines, the center has a maximum occupancy of 150 users in the facility. To check the live capacity of Ping, students can visit the Facility Occupancy page.
“Obviously we meet the physical component of student well-being through our variety of programs and activities, but we also now offer well-being coaching,” Becker said in an email. “Students can have free, one-on-one coaching that assists them in setting realistic goals tied to their lifestyle – this can include focus on time and stress management, social support, sleep and nutrition, productivity and physical activity.”
Indoor facilities such as Ping, Walter Fieldhouse, the Aquatic Center and the Bird Ice Arena are still following all of Ohio’s COVID-19 guidelines.
“That (includes) masks being required inside all of our facilities, regular cleaning and deep cleaning, reduced capacities among programs and facilities, distanced equipment to ensure students and users remain 6 feet apart and reduced touch points including equipment and marketing materials,” Becker said in an email.
Becker said with limited availability on campus, students were really interested in the group fitness classes at Ping. One of these classes is called F45 which combines elements of high-intensity interval training (HIIT), circuit training and functional training. A new F45 studio was released in 2021.
“We hope to bring a new cycling studio online at the Ping Center during the 2021-2022 academic year,” Becker said in an email.
Campus recreation also saw higher student usage with outdoor golf and tennis facilities.
“On campus, I love to play tennis and go to Ping,” Griffin Foltz, a sophomore studying accounting and business pre-law, said in a message. “I definitely recommend tennis because it’s really easy to get into.”
Students have more opportunities to engage by participating in recreational activities outside. The Athens campus has many scenic views to take in, and one of the usual student spots is the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway. The path wraps around campus and along the Hocking River.
“I like to run on the bike path,” Alex Ade, a sophomore studying psychology, said in a message. “I would recommend that freshmen go check out (Ping) and explore campus with friends.”
Outdoor Pursuits, an adventure and recreation program for students, was reduced during the 2021 school year due to COVID-19.
“We hope to expand (our) offers and trips available with guidance from Ohio University and ensure that we maintain the safest environment for our students and staff,” Becker said in an email.
Another popular activity is recreational ice skating at Bird Ice Arena when the ice isn’t being used for hockey practice. Students can also visit the golf course that is located next to the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway and behind Ping.
For more information on campus recreation activities, students can visit the OU Campus Recreation website.


Arrays and Hashes
Jan 31st, 2015
Wrong type of Array!
Arrays in Ruby are a means of keeping track of any number of objects in an organized and easy to use fashion. In a simple way to put it, they are essentially a list of strings or integers, or really anything you want, that can store each element you wish and then be referenced back to when you need. Arrays generally look a lot like this:
countries = ['America', 'China', 'Turkmenistan']
Each object in the array is then given a number that can reference it later down the line when we want to get the information out of the array. It's as simple as counting to find out what your array element's number is. However, the first object in the array does not start at 1, it starts at 0. So, for the example above, We would have:
0 (for America), 1 (for China), and 2 (for Turkmenistan)
If we wanted to call on Turkmenistan within the array, we would simply call the method and place whatever number it is within a bracket like so:
countries[2]
Wrong type of Hash!
Hashes are a lot like arrays, only they don't have to be in a row, and they don't have to be referenced with a number. They can be referenced by whatever it is you wish to reference them with. This is because they are made up a collection of Keys and Value Pairs that allow you to sort objects within them for easy access later. Hashes look a lot like this, usually:
my_hash = {
"name" => "David"
"age" => 32
"birthplace" => "Oakland"
}
In this example, the first column is the key, while the second column is the value. "David" is the value for the key "name." This is called "literal notation." Within a hash, you cannot have duplicate keys as they will be overwritten with the newest value assigned to it. To access information inside the hash, we would call it in a similar way to an array, only we would use the key to call it. If we wanted to get "David" out of the hash, we would write:
my_hash["name"]
We can also call upon hashes with different methods. If the method, "each," speaks to every value in the hash, we could write something like this to have every value returned to us at once:
my_hash.each do |key, value|
puts value
end
This would return us every value in the hash, "my_hash," as we've defined the keys and values inside the hash and asked it to return each value to us. In this case, we would get:
David
32
Oakland
Satellites and delicious breakfast food, be damned!

Abstract:
We propose Cotatron, a transcription-guided speech encoder for speaker-independent linguistic representation.
Cotatron is based on the multispeaker TTS architecture and can be trained with conventional TTS datasets.
We train a voice conversion system to reconstruct speech with Cotatron features,
which is similar to the previous methods based on Phonetic Posteriorgram (PPG).
By training and evaluating our system with 108 speakers from the VCTK dataset,
we outperform the previous method in terms of both naturalness and speaker similarity.
Our system can also convert speech from speakers that are unseen during training,
and utilize ASR to automate the transcription with minimal reduction of the performance.
Audio samples are available at https://mindslab-ai.github.io/cotatron,
and the code with a pre-trained model will be made available soon.
This page contains a set of audio samples in support of the paper: it is suggested that the reader listen to the samples in conjunction with reading the paper.
All utterances were unseen during training, and the results are uncurated (NOT cherry-picked) unless specified.
The following audio samples are conversion between randomly selected speech from VCTK test split, which consists of 108 English speakers.
Please keep in mind that:
Our Cotatron uses transcription; where Blow doesn't.
The sampling rate of audios from Blow (16kHz) and Cotatron (22.05kHz) differs.

FIRST KNIGHT A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1995 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 4.4
United States, 1995 U.S. Availability: wide release 7/7/95 Running Length: 2:13 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Sean Connery, Richard Gere, Julia Ormond, Ben Cross, Liam Cunningham Director: Jerry Zucker Producers: Hunt Lowry and Jerry Zucker Screenplay: Lorne Cameron, David Hoselton, and William Nicholson Cinematography: Adam Greenberg Music: Jerry Goldsmith U.S. Distributor: Columbia Pictures
FIRST KNIGHT is Jerry Zucker's re-invention of a segment of the Arthurian legend ("re-interpretation" would be too light a word to describe the wholesale changes made to the Vulgate Cycle). What we get here, however, is often unintentionally closer to MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL's silliness than to EXCALIBUR's melodramatic grandeur. Bad acting, dumb dialogue, and confusing cinematography abound, creating one of the most shoddy Camelot stories to date. What makes FIRST KNIGHT seem even worse is that it's up against the vastly superior BRAVEHEART, a romantic adventure in very much the same vein, although formed from an entirely different mould.
In FIRST KNIGHT, we're introduced to King Arthur of Camelot (Sean Connery), his intended bride Guinevere (Julia Ormond), and the valiant Sir Lancelot (Richard Gere), who apparently is hot for the queen-to-be (or so the script tells us -- you couldn't tell by Gere's acting). Conspicuous by their absence, however, are the likes of Sir Galahad, Morgan le Fay, the Holy Grail, Merlin, Excalibur, and Mordred. The villain of this piece is Malagant (Ben Cross), an ex-knight of the Round Table who's out to take control of Arthur's kingdom.
Sean Connery is perfect for the King Arthur role. Too bad he isn't given more to do than stand around looking regal. In fact, the film is about one-quarter over before he makes his first appearance. Julia Ormond, who was so impressive in LEGENDS OF THE FALL, is underwhelming here, constantly wringing her hands over the dilemma of who she loves most. Then there's Richard Gere, terribly miscast as Lancelot. In fact, it's hard to imagine a less likely figure in the part of this legendary hero, uttering such pretentious lines as "I never believed in anything before, but now I believe in Camelot." At least he spares us an attempt at a bogus British accent.
There are the requisite battle sequences which feature huge armies clashing on an open field. Filmed with all the coherence of an MTV video, these are prime examples of how not to shoot this sort of scene. Maybe Zucker should have consulted Mel Gibson before embarking on this project. The sustained tension of BRAVEHEART's battles is in marked contrast to the boredom generated by FIRST KNIGHT's.
When all is said and done, there's still at least one amazing thing about FIRST KNIGHT: after being kidnapped, dragged through a forest, imprisoned, rescued, and nearly drowned, Guinevere's lipstick is perfectly intact. That this bit of minutia sticks out so clearly speaks volumes about the dullness of this supposed adventure film. When it comes to potential summer blockbusters, FIRST KNIGHT ends up close to last.

MotoGP Raceweek: Marc Marquez unsure if he can top remarkable 2019 consistency
by FSA EditorIt was a dominant year for MotoGP champion Marc Marquez, who questioned whether he can replicate his remarkable consistency in 2020
Marc Marquez concedes it will be tough to replicate the phenomenal consistency he displayed en route to a sixth MotoGP championship in 2019 next season.
The Spaniard rounded off a campaign to remember with a 12th win from 19 rounds, a result that secured the teams championship for Repsol Honda, while he only placed outside of the top two once.
Nearest rival Andrea Dovizioso finished some 151 points adrift of Marquez, who has no doubt 2019 will be remembered as one of the best of his career.
Speaking to BT Sport, he said: “It’s been amazing.
“I mean 2019, I don’t know if it will be the best season of my career, but one of the best for sure.
“It will be difficult to improve the consistency, there was just one crash when the leading the race.
“It’s been an amazing season and to finish in a good way [is great]. The victory was important but also Repsol can celebrate the team championship, so it’s something important for Repsol.”
Marquez added: “I’m very, very happy. It’s been the perfect season, it will be difficult to repeat it.
“Now it’s time to enjoy it, then Tuesday we start the 2020 season.”
Rookie Fabio Quartararo completed a fine debut campaign with a seventh podium finish after placing second and the Frenchman is confident he can do even better next season.
“Who imagined at the end of the season we will have six poles and seven podiums?” He said.
“I think nobody, we can’t ask for no more. I dedicate this to my team, everyone told me I didn’t deserve this season in MotoGP, I wanted to prove them wrong.

by Chanel VargasWinter beauty typically involves incorporating darker, warmer colors into our everyday looks, and Bella Hadid took that trend and ran with it. While attending Vogue's Fashion Festival Photocall in Paris on Nov. 15, the model debuted her supershort bob haircut that's basically the exact opposite of the long, dirty blond look she had before. Hadid showed off her new haircut in a hot chocolate brown blouse and dark brown makeup that perfectly complimented her new Winter look, and we can't wait to see what she pairs the gorgeous hairstyle with next. Keep scrolling to take a look at Hadid's sleek new bob from all angles ahead.

To create a toggle switch use the toggleswitch
directive with an ng-model
attribute to set and
store the value. Use ng-disabled
to control the disabled state.
Add the class toggleswitch-lg
to use the large variant of the toggle switch.
The following attributes can be set to customize the behavior of the control.
true
the toggle switch will be disabled.
false
the switch will not be updated when clicking on it, can be used if something else
is updating the state of the switch.
Above is an example of a custom style applied to the toggle switch using CSS. Using the classes described below, one may modify the appearance, size, and animations associated with the toggle switch.
The control consists of the following components that may be styled.
.el-toggleswitch-label
is the container of both the toggle switch and the associated label.
.el-toggleswitch
contains the toggle switch components. It will also have additional classes based
on the state of the control. .checked
will be present when the control is in the checked state.
.disabled
will be present if the ng-disabled
expression evaluates to true.
.el-toggleswitch-bg
is the visible backdrop of the toggle switch..el-toggleswitch-nub
is the switch component which moves when changing state..el-toggleswitch-content
contains the text label.The CSS used to create the custom appearance above is as follows. Note that a custom parent class has been applied to each style rule.
To ensure that the styles override the default, create the toggle switch with the custom class applied.

Juventus remain keen on Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri?
Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri has reportedly remained as a transfer target for Juventus.
by Darren PlantWhile the left-back has found himself in and out of the starting lineup during his time at Stamford Bridge, the Italy international is currently regarded as first choice by manager Frank Lampard.
However, despite the 25-year-old still having over two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, Corriere dello Sport claims that Juventus are still making a play for the former Roma man.
Having worked with the player during his time at Chelsea, Maurizio Sarri wants Palmieri to provide competition for Alex Sandro.
Regardless of whether the Blues hierarchy are successful during contract negotiations with Palmieri, they are unlikely to consider any offers in January.
The full-back has made eight starts in the Premier League this season.

| Jump to DART Documentation Main Index |
The DART Fortran90 derived type obs_def
provide an abstraction of the definition of an observation.
An observation sequence obs_seq
at a higher level is composed of observation definitions associated
with observed values. For now, the basic operations required to implement an
observation definition are an ability to compute a forward operator given the
model state vector, the ability to read/write the observation definition
from/to a file, and a capability to do a standard input driven interactive
definition of the observation definition.
DART makes a distinction between specific
observation types and generic
observation quantities. The role of the various
obs_def input files is to define the mapping between the types and quantities,
and optionally to provide type-specific processing routines.
A single obs_def output module is created by the program
preprocess from two kinds of input files.
First, a DEFAULT obs_def module (normally called
DEFAULT_obs_def_mod.F90 and documented
in this directory) is used as a template into which the preprocessor
incorporates information from zero or more special obs_def modules (such as
obs_def_1d_state_mod.f90 or
obs_def_reanalysis_bufr_mod.f90, also
documented in this directory).
If no special obs_def files are included in the
preprocessor namelist, a minimal
obs_def_mod.f90 is created which can only
support identity forward observation operators.
To add a new observation type which does not fit into any of the
already-defined obs_def files, a new file should be created in
the obs_def directory.
These files are usually named according the the pattern
obs_def_X_mod.f90,
where the X is either an instrument name, a data source, or a class
of observations. See the existing filenames in that directory for ideas.
Then this new filename must be listed in the
input.nml namelist for the model, in the
&preprocess_nml section, in the
input_files variable. This variable is a string
list type which can contain multiple filenames. Running the
preprocess program will then use the contents
of the new file to generate the needed output files for use in linking
to the rest of the DART system.
If the new observation type can be directly interpolated by a model_mod interpolation routine, and has no additional observation-specific code for reading, writing, or initializing the observation, then the entire contents of the new file is:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST ! type, quantity, COMMON_CODE ! (repeat lines for each type) ! END DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST
DART will automatically generate all interface code needed for these new observation types. For example, here is a real list:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST !VELOCITY, QTY_VELOCITY, COMMON_CODE !TRACER_CONCENTRATION, QTY_TRACER_CONCENTRATION, COMMON_CODE !TRACER_SOURCE, QTY_TRACER_SOURCE, COMMON_CODE !MEAN_SOURCE, QTY_MEAN_SOURCE, COMMON_CODE !SOURCE_PHASE, QTY_SOURCE_PHASE, COMMON_CODE ! END DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST
The first column is the specific observation type and should be unique. The second column is the generic observation quantity and must match the list of known quantities in the obs_kind_mod.f90. (To add a new quantity, the assimilation_code/modules/observations/DEFAULT_obs_kind_mod.F90 file must be edited to include a unique integer identifier for the quantity.) The third column must be the keyword COMMON_CODE which tells the preprocess program to automatically generate all necessary interface code for this type.
For observation types which have observation-specific routines, must interpolate using a combination of other generic quantities, or require additional observation-specific data to be stored, the following format is used:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST ! type, quantity ! (repeat lines for each type/quantity pair) ! END DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST
DART will need user-supplied interface code for each of the listed types. For example, here is a real list:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST ! DOPPLER_RADIAL_VELOCITY, QTY_VELOCITY ! RADAR_REFLECTIVITY, QTY_RADAR_REFLECTIVITY ! END DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST
In this case, DART needs additional information for how to process these types. They include code sections delimited by precisely formatted comments, and possibly module code sections:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS USE OF SPECIAL OBS_DEF MODULE ! END DART PREPROCESS USE OF SPECIAL OBS_DEF MODULEAny fortran use statements for public subroutines or variables from other modules should be placed between these lines, with comment characters in the first column.
use obs_def_1d_state_mod, only : write_1d_integral, read_1d_integral, & interactive_1d_integral, get_expected_1d_integralneeds to be added to the obs_def_mod so the listed subroutines are available to be called. This would look like:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS USE OF SPECIAL OBS_DEF MODULE ! use obs_def_1d_state_mod, only : write_1d_integral, read_1d_integral, & ! interactive_1d_integral, get_expected_1d_integral ! END DART PREPROCESS USE OF SPECIAL OBS_DEF MODULE
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS GET_EXPECTED_OBS_FROM_DEF ! END DART PREPROCESS GET_EXPECTED_OBS_FROM_DEFThese comments must enclose a case statement for each defined type that returns the expected observation value based on the current values of the state vector. The code must be in comments, with the comment character in the first column.
| state | the entire model state vector |
| state_time | the time of the state data |
| ens_index | the ensemble member number |
| location | the observation location |
| obs_kind_ind | the index of the specific observation type |
| obs_time | the time of the observation |
| error_val | the observation error variance |
| obs_val | the computed forward operator value |
| istatus | return code: 0=ok, >0 is error, <0 reserved for system use |
interpolate(state, location, QTY_xxx, obs_val, istatus)This can be useful if the forward operator needs to retrieve values for fields which are typically found in a model and then compute a derived value from them.
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS READ_OBS_DEF ! END DART PREPROCESS READ_OBS_DEFThese comments must enclose a case statement for each defined type that reads any additional data associated with a single observation. If there is no information beyond that for the basic obs_def type, the case statement must still be provided, but the code can simply be continue. The code must be in comments, with the comment character in the first column.
| ifile | the open unit number positioned ready to read, read-only |
| obs_def | the rest of the obs_def derived type for this obs, read-write |
| key | the index observation number in this sequence, read-only |
| obs_val | the observation value, if needed. in general should not be changed |
| is_ascii | logical to indicate how the file was opened, formatted or unformatted |
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS WRITE_OBS_DEF ! END DART PREPROCESS WRITE_OBS_DEFThese comments must enclose a case statement for each defined type that writes any additional data associated with a single observation. If there is no information beyond that for the basic obs_def type, the case statement must still be provided, but the code can simply be continue. The code must be in comments, with the comment character in the first column.
| ifile | the open unit number positioned ready to write, read-only |
| obs_def | the rest of the obs_def derived type for this obs, read-only |
| key | the index observation number in this sequence, read-only |
| is_ascii | logical to indicate how the file was opened, formatted or unformatted |
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS INTERACTIVE_OBS_DEF ! END DART PREPROCESS INTERACTIVE_OBS_DEFThese comments must enclose a case statement for each defined type that prompts the user for any additional data associated with a single observation. If there is no information beyond that for the basic obs_def type, the case statement must still be provided, but the code can simply be continue. The code must be in comments, with the comment character in the first column.
| obs_def | the rest of the obs_def derived type for this obs, read-write |
| key | the index observation number in this sequence, read-only |
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS MODULE CODE ! END DART PREPROCESS MODULE CODEIf the code to process this observation requires module data and/or subroutines, then these comments must surround the module definitions. Unlike all the other sections, this comment pair is optional, and if used, the code must not be in comments; it will be copied verbatim over to the output file.
It is possible to mix automatic code types and user-supplied code types in the same list. Simply add the COMMON_CODE keyword on the lines which need no special data or interfaces. For example, here is an extract from the 1d state obs_def module, where the raw state variable needs only autogenerated code, but the 1d integral has user-supplied processing code:
! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST ! RAW_STATE_VARIABLE, QTY_STATE_VARIABLE, COMMON_CODE ! RAW_STATE_1D_INTEGRAL, QTY_1D_INTEGRAL ! END DART PREPROCESS KIND LIST ! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS USE OF SPECIAL OBS_DEF MODULE ! use obs_def_1d_state_mod, only : write_1d_integral, read_1d_integral, & ! interactive_1d_integral, get_expected_1d_integral ! END DART PREPROCESS USE OF SPECIAL OBS_DEF MODULE !  END DART PREPROCESS GET_EXPECTED_OBS_FROM_DEF ! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS READ_OBS_DEF ! case(RAW_STATE_1D_INTEGRAL) ! call read_1d_integral(obs_def%key, ifile, fileformat) ! END DART PREPROCESS READ_OBS_DEF ! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS WRITE_OBS_DEF ! case(RAW_STATE_1D_INTEGRAL) ! call write_1d_integral(obs_def%key, ifile, fileformat) ! END DART PREPROCESS WRITE_OBS_DEF !  END DART PREPROCESS INTERACTIVE_OBS_DEF ! BEGIN DART PREPROCESS MODULE CODE module obs_def_1d_state_mod use types_mod, only : r8 use utilities_mod, only : register_module, error_handler, E_ERR, E_MSG use location_mod, only : location_type, set_location, get_location use assim_model_mod, only : interpolate use cov_cutoff_mod, only : comp_cov_factor implicit none public :: write_1d_integral, read_1d_integral, interactive_1d_integral, & get_expected_1d_integral ...

In addition to collecting and managing any additional observation
type-specific code, this module provides the definition of the
obs_def_type derived type, and a collection of subroutines for creating,
accessing, and updating this type. The remainder of this document
describes the subroutines provided by this module.
