Let's get an introduction to strings. Strings are always chain of characters bounded by triple, double quotes or single quotes in Python, a string can also be just a character.
"Hello World" "12345" "False" 'my mom is going to school' Are all strings.In order to tell the computer to output a string to the screen, just write out *print* and between your parenthesis/brackets, type your string. This applies to all the data types we will look at.
sentence = 'my mom is going to school'
NB: I gave it the name sentence which is reasonable enough for what the string says.
This string which we have just given the name sentence has a length not equal to the number of
letter in it but every character counts. Space is also a character, so guess what the length or number of characters in it will be.
We can easily do this by using a method called len on the string sentence.
print(len(senetence))
This should print out:
>> 25
Now, say we want to get only the first letter of the sentence, what do we do.
A knowledge of how Python numbers the position of each substring is therefore required.
How Python gives indices: Python gives the first letter in a string the position(index) 0 and the next 0+1 = 1 and the next 0+1+1=2 and it continues so. Since the first letter is not 1 that means our string's last member will have the index 24, this can also be accessed using the index -1. This means when counting from left to right, Python starts from 0 but when counting from right to left Python begins from -1,-2 till it gets to the first. Look at the image below:
print(sentence[0])
This should print out the first letter 'm' to the screen for you.
So with that you can get any of the letters from the string, but what if you put in 25?
Our string *ranges* from 0-24 so putting in 25 will
mean you are asking for a letter that is
not in the string and therefore out of the range.
This will raise an error which we shall learn to handle.
Another problem:
What if we wanted to get 'mom' or any other word from the string.
Here comes slicing, we specify the beginning index (that is, where we want Python to put the knife first), separated by a colon(:) and
the last index (not inclusive), that is the border. All this should hapen in the square brackets.
So to get 'mom' printed out from 'my mom is going to school':
The first 'm' standds at index 3 and the last 'm' stands at index 5, but we want it to be included so we give the next
index as the border (which is 6).
print(sentence[3:6])
This should print out>> mom
print(sentence[ :6]))
This should print out:
>> my mom
The same way if you want Python to begin from somewhere say after 'mom' to the very last
letter, then you can do this:
print(senetence[6: ])
This should give you:
>> is going to school
Skipping some substrings
You can also specify steps at which Python should slice a list using a third index called the step.
So generally, to slice a string:
This means Python should print the first letter, jump to the next 2 and print that and jump to the next 2 and should continue to do so until it gets to the end. This will be very useful when working with lists like a list off ccounting numbers and you want to get only even numbers or odd numbers.ListName[begin:end:step]
print(sentence[ : : 2])
'my mom is '+'going to school'
will produce (Please note the space at the end of 'is'): >> my mom is going to school You can also repeat a string using the * operator:'my mom ' * 3
Should produce: >> my mom my mom my mom To find out if a character or characters ooccur in a string, you could use *in* or *not in* keywords: This will be better understood under conditioning your code section. But for now:if 'm' in sentence: print("m exists") else: print("nope, no m")
Python also provides built-in methods that can be used to manipulate strings in other ways. These methods are called on the string in question and if arguments are required for the method to properly execute, you provide those arguments. You must call the string and then bring a dot(.) and the name of the method after which comes paranthesis or round brackets in which arguments are provided if any. The paranthesis are still brought even if there were no arguments to provide.
1. .capitalize() This will capilize the first letter of the string. 2. .center(width,filchar) Returns a space-padded string with the original string centered to a total of width given. 3. .count(substring,begin=0,end=len(string)) This counts how many times a substring occurs within the original string. You can specify where Python should start looking from using the begin argument and the end, where Python should stop looking. These two howver default to begin being the start and end being the end of the string. 4 .decode(encoding='UTF-8',errors='strict') Decodes the string using the codec registered for encoding. encoding defaults to the default string encoding. 5 .encode(encoding='UTF-8',errors='strict') Returns encoded string version of string; on error, default is to raise a ValueError unless errors is given with 'ignore' or 'replace'. 6 .endswith(suffix, beg=0, end=len(string)) Determines if string or a substring of string (if starting index beg and ending index end are given) ends with suffix; returns true if so and false otherwise 7 .expandtabs(tabsize=8) Expands tabs in string to multiple spaces; defaults to 8 spaces per tab if tabsize not provided 8 .find(str, beg=0 end=len(string)) Determine if str occurs in string or in a substring of string if starting index beg and ending index end are given returns index if found and -1 otherwise 9 .index(str, beg=0, end=len(string)) Same as find(), but raises an exception if str not found 10 .isalnum() Returns true if string has at least 1 character and all characters are alphanumeric and false otherwise
11 .isalpha() Returns true if string has at least 1 character and all characters are alphabetic and false otherwise 12 .isdigit() Returns true if string contains only digits and false otherwise 13 .islower() Returns true if string has at least 1 cased character and all cased characters are in lowercase and false otherwise 14 .isnumeric() Returns true if a unicode string contains only numeric characters and false otherwise 15 .isspace() Returns true if string contains only whitespace characters and false otherwise 16 .istitle() Returns true if string is properly "titlecased" and false otherwise 17 .isupper() Returns true if string has at least one cased character and all cased characters are in uppercase and false otherwise 18 .join(seq) Merges (concatenates) the string representations of elements in sequence seq into a string, with separator string 19 .len(string) Returns the length of the string 20 .ljust(width[, fillchar]) Returns a space-padded string with the original string left-justified to a total of width columns
21 .lower() Converts all uppercase letters in string to lowercase 22 .lstrip() Removes all leading whitespace in string 23 .maketrans() Returns a translation table to be used in translate function. 24 .max(str) Returns the max alphabetical character from the string str 25 .min(str) Returns the min alphabetical character from the string str 26 .replace(old, new [, max]) Replaces all occurrences of old in string with new or at most max occurrences if max given 27 .rfind(str, beg=0,end=len(string)) Same as find(), but search backwards in string 28 .rindex( str, beg=0, end=len(string)) Same as index(), but search backwards in string 29 .rjust(width,[, fillchar]) Returns a space-padded string with the original string right-justified to a total of width columns. 30 .rstrip() Removes all trailing whitespace of string
31 .split(str="", num=string.count(str)) Splits string according to delimiter str (space if not provided) and returns list of substrings; split into at most num substrings if given 32 .splitlines( num=string.count('\n')) Splits string at all (or num) NEWLINEs and returns a list of each line with NEWLINEs removed 33 .startswith(str, beg=0,end=len(string)) Determines if string or a substring of string (if starting index beg and ending index end are given) starts with substring str; returns true if so and false otherwise 34 .strip([chars]) Performs both lstrip() and rstrip() on string 35 .swapcase() Inverts case for all letters in string 36 .title() Returns "titlecased" version of string, that is, all words begin with uppercase and the rest are lowercase 37 .translate(table, deletechars="") Translates string according to translation table str(256 chars), removing those in the del string 38 .upper() Converts lowercase letters in string to uppercase 39 .zfill (width) Returns original string leftpadded with zeros to a total of width characters; intended for numbers, zfill() retains any sign given (less one zero) 40 .isdecimal() Returns true if a unicode string contains only decimal characters and false otherwise
print ("My name is %s and weight is %d kg!") % ('Ellie', 60)
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result:
>>My name is Ellie and weight is 60 kg!
Here is the list of complete set of symbols which can be used along with %:
Symbol Functionality * argument specifies width or precision - left justification + display the signleave a blank space before a positive number # add the octal leading zero ( '0' ) or hexadecimal leading '0x' or '0X', depending on whether 'x' or 'X' were used. 0 pad from left with zeros (instead of spaces) % '%%' leaves you with a single literal '%' (var) mapping variable (dictionary arguments) m.n. m is the minimum total width and n is the number of digits to display after the decimal point (if appl.)
para_str = """this is a long string that is made up of several lines and non-printable characters such as TAB ( \t ) and they will show up that way when displayed. NEWLINEs within the string, whether explicitly given like this within the brackets [ \n ], or just a NEWLINE within the variable assignment will also show up. """ print (para_str)
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result. Note how every single special character has been converted to its printed form, right down to the last NEWLINE at the end of the string between the "up." and closing triple quotes. Also note that NEWLINEs occur either with an explicit carriage return at the end of a line or its escape code (\n):this is a long string that is made up of several lines and non-printable characters such as TAB ( ) and they will show up that way when displayed. NEWLINEs within the string, whether explicitly given like this within the brackets [ ], or just a NEWLINE within the variable assignment will also show up. Raw strings don't treat the backslash as a special character at all. Every character you put into a raw string stays the way you wrote it:
print ('C:\\nowhere')
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result:>>C:\nowhere
Now let's make use of raw string. We would put expression in r'expression' as follows:print (r'C:\\nowhere')
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result:>>C:\\nowhere
As you can see, Unicode strings use the prefix u, just as raw strings use the prefix r.print (u'Hello, world!')
When the above code is executed, it produces the following result:>>Hello, world!


Simplify translation management by using the Multilingual Extension
In this previous article Add multilingual support to Xamarin I show you how to add multilingual support to a Xamarin forms project. In this article I will show you how to use the Multilingual Extension for simplify the synchronization from the master file to different language files.
We are going to use this extension to simplify ans solve four main problem.
* Synchronization of Resx files
* Translation of texts by Google translate or Microsoft translate
* Export of translations into csv or xlsx file for final translation by external stakeholder
* Import of final translations from external stakholder
We will continue whit the same project as we started with in the previous article Add multilingual support to Xamarin

@Documented
@Retention(value=SOURCE)
@Target(value={ANNOTATION_TYPE,TYPE})
public static @interface PaperParcel.Options
Options for configuring how the PaperParcelProcessor
should handle parsing
@PaperParcel
classes.
This annotation can be applied directly to an PaperParcel
-annotated class like so:
@PaperParcel.Options(...)
@PaperParcel
public final class User implements Parcelable {
String username;
String password;
// ...
}
Defining Options
in this manner can become tedious if you want to apply the same
options to many of your model objects. For a more reusable strategy, you may wish to create a
custom annotation which will define all of the rules you wish to apply; then use your custom
annotation on your PaperParcel
classes instead. Here's an example of a custom
annotation that has Options
applied to it:
@PaperParcel.Options(...)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.SOURCE)
@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
public @interface MyOptions {
}
Now MyOptions
could be applied to any PaperParcel
class to apply the
rules associated with it:
@MyOptions
@PaperParcel
public final class User implements Parcelable {
String username;
String password;
// ...
}
This annotation can also be applied globally via ProcessorConfig.options()
. Note
that any rules applied directly to a class will override the global rules.

This API only works when returning true
from excludeNonExposedFields()
.
excludeNonExposedFields()
public abstract boolean excludeNonExposedFields
exposeAnnotations()
. This is useful in a style of
programming where you want to explicitly specify all fields that should be considered for
parcelling.exposeAnnotations()
public abstract int[] excludeModifiers
Configures PaperParcel to exclude any field that has the given modifiers. The
int
values returned by this method must be Modifier
constants. Modifiers
can be combined using the bitwise OR operator if you want to exclude specific combinations
of modifiers.
By default any transient
or static
field is excluded.
public abstract java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation>[] reflectAnnotations
Configures PaperParcel to be able to access private constructors and fields that are annotated with any of the given annotations (using reflection).
Because reflection is slow on Android, this option should be used sparingly. Because of the performance implications, PaperParcel will always favor not using reflection when it is possible.
Note: if your code will be obfuscated, be sure to retain the names of the annotated fields and constructors so that the generated reflection calls will continue to work.
public abstract boolean allowSerializable
Configures PaperParcel to never use Java serialization to read and write types. Setting
this to false
forces you to write custom TypeAdapter
s to handle types that
could normally be handled using Serializable
. This is useful if you are looking for
optimal performance gains.
By default Java serialization is allowed.


Phase 0 - Week 5 Cultural Blog
My Experience Pair Programming and Giving/Receving Feedback
Friday, May 29, 2015
Dev Bootcamp Phase 0 - Week Five: Students Log
Pair Programming so far in Phase 0 of Dev Bootcamp
With Pair Programming being such an integral part of the Dev Bootcamp Experience, I was initially a little apprehensive and I wanted to ensure that I really did everything that I could to ensure that I was successful in both the driver and navigator roles. So far, I have found that Pair Programming is not as difficult as I feared. While some pairing sessions have been easier that others, they have all helped me to learn new things as well as helped me see how I adjust my style to ensure an effective working relationship with my pair. Over the first 5 weeks, I have definitly seen my approach during pairing sessions change both based on the specific challenge as well as my pair.
One of the developmental challenges that peer programming help me to identify is my ability to function effectivly as a navigator, specifically when my pair is struggling with the challenge. As it turns out, I can be a bit of a control freak and my first instinct was to just jump in and take control. As I progress with pair programming, I will need to ensure that I slow down and help my pair truly understand the issues that they are uncofortable with before push forward.
Giving and Receiving Feedback in Dev Bootcamp
I have a very developmental personality and I have always welcomed feedback and/or critisim in my personal and professional life as I genuinly feel that feedback is a major building block to personal growrth. In reading the feedback that I have received from both my peers as well as the guides, I have found that the feedback closely mirrors the developmental areas that I have identified. For me, the biggest challenge that I need to work on specific to feedback is giving actionable and specific feedback, particulary when the pairing session went good. With a backgroupd in management, it is easier for me to provide actionable feedback when the pairing session didn't go great. Going forward, I need to look for feedback opportunities even when things went well.


The newest Riddler Express is a simple probability problem duo:
From Dee Harley comes a devilish matter of dominos:
In a set of dominos, each tile has two sides with a number of dots on each side: zero, one, two, three, four, five or six. There are 28 total tiles, with each number of dots appearing alongside each other number (including itself) on a single tile.
Question 1: What is the probability of drawing a "double" from a set of dominoes – that is, a tile with the same number on both sides?
Question 2: Now you pick a random tile from the set and uncover only one side, revealing that it has six dots. What’s the probability that this tile is a double, with six on both sides?
With 7 dot options for each face (each half) of each domino tile, there are \(\frac{{7 \choose 1}}{{7 \choose 1} + {7 \choose 2}}\) ways of drawing a double – or 25%, which intuitively makes sense given that there are 7 doubles out of 28 total tiles.
For fun, let's simulate:
import numpy as np
from random import choice, seed
from scipy.stats import binom
from scipy.special import comb
from itertools import combinations, chain
from collections import Counter
seed(42)
class Dominoes:
"""
Initiates a Dominoes() class
with range(0, n) dots per tile side
and r sides per domino tile.
gen_dominoes() generates the tiles.
draw_domino() draws a random tile and removes it from the pool.
"""
def __init__(self, faces: list, sides: int):
self.faces = faces
self.sides = sides
def gen_dominoes(self):
dominoes = list(itertools.combinations(iterable = self.faces,
r = self.sides))
for face in self.faces:
ditto_domino = tuple(np.repeat(face, self.sides))
dominoes.append(ditto_domino)
self.dominoes = dominoes
def draw_domino(self):
domino = choice(self.dominoes)
self.dominoes.remove(domino)
return domino
# Q1
dupe_draws = 0
n = 100000
for i in range(0, n):
d = Dominoes(faces = range(0, 7),
sides = 2)
d.gen_dominoes()
draw = d.draw_domino()
if draw[0] == draw[1]:
dupe_draws += 1
dupe_draws / n
Which gives us 0.25144
.
If we first peek at one of the sides and notice a 6 after drawing a domino, things get a bit trickier.
Conditional probability tells us how to find the probability of some event of interest (that we don't know the probability of) given some other event (that we do know the probability of):
Or:
But how much information does peeking and seeing a six really give us?
Let's quickly investigate the probability of looking at a random face and seeing a six.
d = Dominoes(faces = range(0, 7),
sides = 2)
d.gen_dominoes()
# tally up frequencies of dot counts on faces (tile halves)
#face_counts = Counter(y for x in d.dominoes for y in x)
face_counts = Counter(chain(*d.dominoes))
# faces with six dots
six_dot_faces = face_counts[6]
# proability of seeing a six
six_dot_faces / sum([v for v in face_counts.values()])
Which gives us 0.14285714285714285
– or 1/7.
Peeking and seeing a six doesn't give us any important information (other than knowing that we're looking at a valid domino face).
Intuitively, this immediately means that the probability of the other side of our tile also being a six (i.e., our tile being a double) is the same as the probability of drawing any double: 1/4.
We can confirm this by computing the joint probability
and plugging and chugging in our conditional probability formulation.
is simply the probability of drawing the (6,6) tile – which is 1/28.
So we end up with:

I had never tried illegal drugs before, and had always been curious. I wanted to try LSD or shrooms but my friends convinced me to try marijuana first. I bought a pack of zig-zags and my friend took me to her dealer where I purchased 2 grams of weed. She supervised the first joint that I'd ever rolled and we sat on the porch so she could smoke a cigarette. She started smoking her pipe and offered it to me. I decided to take a few hits of it. I should have let it set in, but I decided we should try out the first joint I'd ever rolled.
We both smoked the joint and once it was finished I was fine for about 10 minutes. She asked me how high I was and I remember saying 'I'm fine, I don't think that was very strong.' Very shortly after I said that, I remember scratching my leg and not feeling my leg. Then I touched the arm of the chair I was sitting in and it felt like sandpaper. I started getting really scared and considered running home, but I never left that chair. Every time I shifted, I felt even more uneasy and uncomfortable. I could barely get my words out, and all I could say was “I am so high.”
After what felt like an eternity, she took me inside and sat me on her couch to watch Super Troopers. The couch was very scratchy and uncomfortable, like sandpaper. I had a difficult time following the plot, even though I had seen this movie before 3 times, but I also felt like I finally ‘got’ the movie. Afterwards I just lied down on the couch dosing until I had to use the washroom. The entire time I had been drinking water because my mouth was so dry. Her friend drove my car home and I could barely get my keys to work on my front door.
I had a bath to get clean and then watched Dazed and Confused. I ate half a bag of Lays chips with guacamole and played video games on my computer. After another hour or two I was feeling better and went to my friend’s house to drink and smoke more. I made sure to smoke less than before because I was still a little scared from my trip earlier.

Go Ape is climbing high with new schools award
by David VincentSuffolk-based Go Ape has scooped the title UK's Best Attraction in the 2019 School Travel Awards.
The adventure business, established in 2001, was also named as finalist in the Best Education/Learning Team of the Year.
The awards ceremony recognised the people and companies behind inspiring school trips.
Go Ape! saw off stiff competition from the likes of Legoland Windsor, Alton Towers and The Eden Project.
Rebecca Mayhew founder of Go Ape said: "This is the third year running we've won at these awards.
"It's really nice to be recognised by school children and teachers alike who have an amazing experience when they come on a Go Ape school trip."
Ms Mayhew said GoApe had welcomed more than 53,000 students to its sites around the country this year.
Activities operate in all seasons and weathers, ranging from zip treks to ground-based teamwork activities.
Based in Bury St Edmunds, Go Ape has developed forest adventures and created more than 1,000 jobs across the UK and USA.

To enable programmatic selection of facets, pass an empty object to the api
attribute of the facet-container
element. This object will be populated with a list of objects representing the facets in the container, allowing access
to the select
and deselect
methods of their facet-options.
This is compatible with standard Facets, Dynamic Facets, and Custom Facets. Note that when using Custom Facets, the value
of the model
needs to be changed independently of these functions.
An example of the use of programmatic selection can be seen in the Filter Popover Controller in the Detail Row Header documentation.

Benchmarking outcomes for applying task rules
This article describes the benchmarking outcomes for applying various task rules to a test set of data under a similar environment. The results are useful in providing guidance in how task rules can improve GEE performance of loading assets and build times.
GEE System Specifications
The following table lists the software and hardware specifications that were used for testing.| OS | Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS |
| Processor | 8x Intel(R) Xeon ® CPU @2.60GHz |
| CPU | 2599.998 MHz |
| Cache size | 20488 KB |
| Memory | 30 GB |
This set of tests used raster data, terrain data and vector data that are freely available online. Some of them provide global coverage and others provide local high resolution coverage.
Fusion Server Configurations - Task Rules
A number of task rules can be configured to increase the processing speed. You configure task rules settings to assign a number of CPUs to processes that can be run concurrently.
Fusion Server has the following two binaries which are multithreaded to increase processing speed when building a 3D database:
gepackgen
gecombineterrain
You can identify the activity of these binaries during the processing of your databases by checking the log files listed in the Version Properties dialog. (Right-click an asset in the Asset Manager dialog.)
gepackgen
generates imagery or terrain project packets. Multiple gepackgen
processes can run concurrently to speed up the building of the imagery projects. gecombineterrain
processes 3D databases and merges terrain packets from the specified indices.
Task rules can be configured based on the number of concurrent processes required to be run on the Fusion server. Since gecombineterrain
is a serial process and must be completed before the other database-level building activities can start, the CombinedTerrain task rule is used to put all available CPUs/cores onto the build, assuming that one core is reserved for the system.
The ImageryPacketLevel and TerrainPacketLevel task rules configure gepackgen
for concurrent processing. Both assign more or less CPUs to the pack files that are created during project builds.
The task rules apply to all subsequent tasks that the Fusion server performs, and can’t be applied to individual assets or projects.
To compare the effect of different task rule settings on the performance of the Fusion server when loading assets and building resources, projects, and databases, three different task rule configurations were used: default taskrule, taskrule 2 and taskrule 3. Default task rule is the GEE default setting after installation.
Detailed settings are in the following table.
| Default taskrule | Default taskrule | Taskrule 2 | Taskrule 2 | Taskrule 3 | Taskrule 3 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Min CPU | Max CPU | Min CPU | Max CPU | Min CPU | Max CPU | |
| CombinedTerrain | 1 | 1 | 7 | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| ImageryPacketLevel | 1 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| TerrainPacketLevel | 1 | 1 | 3 | 4 | 3 | 4 |
In this set of tests, the server was permitted to use 7 CPU cores for Fusion processing; take Taskrule 2 for example, there can be up to 2 gepackgen tasks running concurrently with 3 CPUs assigned for each task.
Project build time under different taskrules
Total raster, terrain and vector project build times are illustrated in the following charts. The vector project build time doesn’t change much at all because the task rule settings have no impact on the gevectorfuse
command. For the imagery project, taskrule 2 provides the best build performance. For the terrain project, taskrule 3 provides the best build performance.
Total database build time
The database build time with task rule 3 was the fastest - reducing the time to 25.31 hours. Under the default task rule setting, the total database build time took the longest time to finish, 33.52 hours.
Recommendations
- Always set the task rule other than default to have better image project build performance.
- With this test dataset, task rule 3 provides the shortest total database building time on this server - with 2 imagery
gepackgen
tasks running concurrently with 2 CPUs assigned for each task; with all available CPU assigned to CombinedTerrain and 2 terraingepackgen
tasks running concurrently with 3 or 4 CPUs assigned for each task. - Set CombinedTerrain to put all available CPUs/cores onto the build.
- Select a machine with more memory if processing vector data as fusing vector data (
gevectorfuse
) can consume a lot of memory.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Stim Canister upgrade guide
by James BillcliffeStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is tough. The game takes heavy inspiration from brutal melee action games like Dark Souls and Sekiro, so you’ll need strong reflexes, determination, and a patient head to prevail.
Just like the Estus Flask in FromSoftware games, BD-1’s Stim Canisters are your lifeline against the forces of evil, bringing you back from the brink when you need it most.
It’s in your best interest then to collect as many Stim Canister upgrades as you can, so you can heal yourself without having to respawn enemies by meditating.
Here are all of the Stim Canister upgrades we’ve found for BD-1 so far, across Bogano, Zeffo, and Kashyyyk.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Stim Canister Upgrades
Bogano Stim Canister Upgrades
Binog Mesa – Return to the Binog Mesa after you’ve gotten the Wall Run on Bogano. Where you would have had to drop down before, you can run across the wall and get to a new area.
Then go down the hole on the other side into the Subterranean Refuge. This secret room houses a Stim Canister upgrade.
Landing Pad – Next once you’ve gotten the Force Push ability from the Tomb of Eilram on Zeffo, go back to Bogano and solve the ball puzzle underneath the ship.
To complete the puzzle you need to push the ball along the raised runway into the slot.
It can be tricky to line up, but try Force pushing it at an angle as the ball rolls back down the slope.
Zeffo Stim Canister Upgrades
Derelict Hangar – After you land on Zeffo, go down the path on to the right of the Mantis.
Jump up and you’ll see to enemies chewing on a Stormtrooper.
Follow this path all the way around to the left and you’ll see a side-path that you can jump to on your right.
It’s dark inside, but keep following the path all the way around to the left, then to the right, then jump onto the top of the platform with the crate. This is where you’ll find the Stim Canister upgrade.
Kashyyyk Stim Canister Upgrades
Between Origin Lake and Shadowlands – On your second visit to Kashyyk, look behind you as you enter the Shadowlands area from Origin Lake.
Turn around and you should see a Stim Canister crate in the distance. Jump across the Lung Plants to get up to the Stim Canister upgrade.
To upgrade BD-1 even further, here’s where to find the Scomp Link and other tech.
For more on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order check out our general tips page. Or if you want to collect lightsaber parts, these are all the ones we’ve found so far.
If botany’s your game, here are all of the Terrarium seeds we’ve found for Greez so far.

Three of My Favorite Sites
Posted on 7 Jun 2014 by Kyle Daugherty
Google is hands down the one site I use most often. It is simple and clean. It is that simplicity which allows users to focus on their searching and not be distracted by headlines, trends, etc. (like with Yahoo!) The home page primarily consists of a search field and button. On other pages (e.g., search results), Google does show ads, but it is not overly cluttered. This makes it very easy to find what you are looking for.
Google wouldn't be much of a search engine if it was not functional and relevant. Clearly, they have mastered this craft. The predictive searching is like they are pulling ninja mind tricks and reading your thoughts. They do an incredible job of understanding the context of your searches to provide the most relevant information to you.
One of my only critiques I've noticed would be when you search for restaurants. On the results page, it shows a scrolling list of the restaurants near you, but the dark background of this section does not fit with the overall theme in my opinion. I think they should make the area much lighter.

eastern border of
The townspeople
call the site "Beautiful Ridge." And so it is, beautiful is more than
name. The area houses friendly people along the blacktop road which services
the few families fortunate enough to live there. They are away from the dirt
and the smog, and on a summer nights the residents can sit on their porches
while cool breezes fan their brows, dampened with sweat from their toil as
tillers of the land that God has entrusted to their care. But, lo, on a wintry
day the Specter of Death rode across Beautiful Ridge, carrying with him his
scythe. And his harvest that day was Clyde
Dierkes.
The 65-year old
bachelor had been known and loved by people for miles around. He truly believed
the the Biblical saying: " I am my brother's keeper."
A general
handyman by trade, Clyde Dierkes was never too busy to fix a neighbor's porch
swing or re-hang a door warped by the bitter cold which in the winter, swept
across the ridges in Monroe County.
As a boy he had
fished in the nearby river, hunting in the surrounding hills and swum in the
town's Possum Creek. He could remember the days when Clarington was a bustling
ship-building town and old-fashioned paddle-wheelers slipped down the ways to
carry merchandise from the
One of those
who knew Clyde Dierkes well was Monroe County Sheriff Francis L.
"Tink" Sulsberger. "A good man," the lawman said about him
recently, as he recounted the events believed to have occurred on the fatal
night of Sunday, January 25, 1970.
For just as
Clyde Dierkes was known the county over as a Samaritan, there were those who
thought the bachelor had played the role of Casanova when he'd come, as a
handyman, to the aid of some farmers' wives. As so often happens, "the
evil that men do live after them; the good is oft interred with their
bones."
Not being a
student of Shakespeare, Clyde Dierkes had no way of knowing that some might
misinterpret his efforts to be helpful...
Sunday dawned

"O.K., pal
just a minute," the bachelor said to his constant companion. He opened the
back door and took a whiff of the crisp morning air. "Looks like a nice
day, Boozer. I should be able to get some work accomplished in the garage
today. I might even get to my neighbors to see if they need any spare jobs done
this week." With a happy heart he watched the sun peep over the hills of
Following his
customary pattern, the bachelor finished his breakfast, collected his overshoes
and coat and as he prepared to go into town, whistled for his dog.
Later, neighbor
would wonder just what transpired that day. Some recalled waving to the
friendly hill man as he drove past in his utility van. Others remembered seeing
him near the post office in town.
The operator of
one of the town's service stations was to remember a small purchase Clyde
Dierkes made. "He intended to check his windshield wipers, I guess,"
the merchant was to say later, upon recalling that he'd sold him some wiper
blades.
The owners of a
small country store just at the bottom of the series of ridges overlooking,
Clarington, were to offer additional information. Clyde Dierkes passed right in
front of their rural outlet that Sunday morning.
The man and
wife who run the shop are popular in the community. They operate a neat,
friendly place to shop. No hustle of shopping carts. It is a comfortable haven
where you may stop, chat about the day's news and leisurely make your choice of
produce or groceries.
Clyde Dierkes
generally was among those who stopped by of a morning on his way to whatever
job he had to do that day.
"A
good-hearted man," was the woman's opinion of her neighbor, whom she had
known since childhood.
All over town
that Sunday people saw Clyde Dierkes. They were to remember the incidents later
when the full, grim story unfolded on an isolated farm, stark, bleak and
abandoned to the ravages of time and weather.
Sheriff
Sulsberger, like the doomed bachelor, had a full work schedule that Sabbath. To
most people in
The official
was re-elected in 1968 as chief law officer for
But on the
morning of Sunday, January 25, 1970, chasing criminals had to be put aside
temporarily; the lawman was battling the flu. Feeling miserable, he had made up
his mind to "take it easy" for one day, hoping that his phone
wouldn't ring too many times. Or, if it did, perhaps his deputies could handle
whatever situations arose.
However, such
was not to be the case. Around 7 p.m., [Faithful dog, Boozer, howling at
doorstep for his master, aroused suspicions of neighbors that foul play was
afoot.] the familiar ring brought Sheriff Sulsberger to the phone. What
transpired set into action a chain of events which didn't end for the
"This is
Ella Bonar, in Clarington," said the troubled voice at the other end of
the wire. "I'm worried concerning my Uncle Clyde Dierkes. I've been
calling his house for about an hour, but I can't reach him. I contacted his
neighbors and they say all the lights are on in his place and that the dog,
Boozer, is howling on the front porch. I'm sure something must be wrong! Can
you get down there to check?"
The official
tried to calm the woman. "Maybe
Ella Bonar was quick to say, "I know sheriff. And
from what the neighbors tell me, my uncle's van is parked in the driveway. They
can see it from their ridge. Therefore, he can't be on an errand!"
Sheriff
Sulsberger ran his fingers through his neatly trimmed hair as he assessed what
he had heard. Seconds later, he dialed the number of the phone at the home of one
of his deputies, Junior Miller, and relayed to him the conversation he'd had
with Ella Bonar. "Get down to Clarington and see what's going on. Call me
if you need me. But take it easy. Looks as if the snow isn't going to stop
tonight and the roads may be bad," he concluded.
Receiving
assurance from Deputy Miller that instructions would be carried out, the
sheriff, still ailing, started to relax in one of the chairs in his
well-appointed living room when the jangling of the telephone again brought him
to his feet. "I'll get it, honey," he called to his wife, who was
winding up the kitchen chores after Sunday supper.
The voice that
came over the wire was low. It was obvious that the speaker was trying to
conceal his identity. "I think you'd better get down to Clarington, Clyde
Dierkes is in trouble!" was the message.
Immediately
after, Sheriff Sulsberger tried to stall the caller. "This connecton's
bad. I can't hear what you said," he replied to the mystery voice, as he
tried to figure how to keep the line open and, at the same time, alert his wife
to contact headquarter via radio so that he dispatcher could trace the call.
"I said
Clyde Dierkes is in trouble," the annonymous speaker repeated.
"Who is
this?" the sheriff pressed. "Hello/ Hello." But the line went
dead.
Rushing to his
two-way radio, the sheriff alerted his other three deputies to stand by for his
arrival. Then he called out to his wife, "I'm heading to Clarington, might
not be back right away." He pulled on his heavy driving boots, wrapped a
scarf around his neck and raised the zipper on his heavy jacket. A hurried
good-by kiss at the door- and the ailing lawman, forgetting his own discomfort,
was on his way to the home of Clyde Dierkes.
Certain bits of
information he had heard over the years; rumors concerning love affairs; veiled
accusations against the bachelor came to Sheriff Sulsberger's mind as he
negotiated the twisting turns in the road which leads from Woodsfield, the
county seat, to Clarington, along the Ohio River. It was difficult to believe
that kindly, generous Clyde Dierkes was a Lothanrio.
"Unit 1
calling Units 2, 3 and 4," the sheriff's voice crackled over his car radio
network.
"Harold
Keylor reporting," came the quick response.
"Meet me
at Clyde Dierkes' home on Beautiful Ridge," Sheriff Sulsberger directed.
"We may have trouble on our hands!"
Unit 2, unit 2
reporting," broke in Deputy Bud Headley.
"We're
going to the Dierkes' place in Clarington. Join us there. Get in touch with
Junior Jones and relay my message. Junior Miller is already headed that way,
the sheriff instructed.
Receiving an
affirmative reply from Deputy Headley, the sheriff pressed harder on the
accelerator of his cruiser, not knowing to what he was rushing. A simple case
of a man's leaving some lights on in his home while he made a trip for some
supplies- or worse. Such are complex, sometimes sinister problems faced by our
lawmen in the line of duty.
At this point,
the sheriff's radio came to life. "Unit 5 calling Unit 1, I'm here in
Clarington," Duputy Miller reported. "I talked with Ella Bonar who
reported her uncle missing. Then I came up here on the ridge. She's right; the
lights are on in the house and the dog is howling at the front door. I'm being
careful to avoid trampling on any footprints. But there's a crowd beginning to
gather. I'll keep them back until you get here at the scene."
The sheriff, at
that moment, drove through the community of Cameron, just outside the city
limits of Clarington. "I'll be there in just a minute or two. How's the
road up there on the ridge?"
"Not bad.
Slick near that one sharp curve near the top so watch it," came the reply.
It didn't take
long for word to spread among the fewer than 500 people in the river community.
A phone call here or there- and the wires began to buzz as neighbors and
friends found out that something was amiss at Clyde Dierkes' residence.
By the time
Sheriff Sulsberger had pulled up outside the bachelor's dwelling, he could see
the gathering crowd standing around the flashing red lights of Duputy Miller's
car.
The official
hurried forward and joined the tall deputy near the farm home's front gate.
"I don't want anyone going on the
property until we've had a chance to see what's wrong, if anything," he
announced.
Turning to one
of the bachelor's neighbors, Jim Farrell, the sheriff inquired, "Have you
seen
The farmer,
nodded. "Sure. It was around suppertime. I saw
As the sheriff
continued to quiz the other neighbors, Deputies Headley and Keylor brought
their cruisers to a halt on the shoulder of the blacktop road; they were soon
followed by Deputy Jones. Thereupon, Sheriff Sulsberger and his colleagues
proceeded to advance slowly into the farmyard.
"If there
are any footprints, they're covered by the snow," the official pointed
out.
The weather in
January in the
When the lawmen
reached the porch, the bachelor's beagle, Boozer, wagged his tail furiously.
"Sure,
boy. That's a good dog," the law officer said, rubbing the hound's ears.
"We'll find your master," he added, not sure whether or not he really
would. Or, if he did what his find might turn up.
"Might as
well let those onlookers come on the property," the sheriff told Deputy
Keylor. "There are no footprints to worry about, so they won't be covering
any evidence. But don't let them into the house as yet."
With that,
Sheriff Sulsberger tested the front door, found it open and led his colleagues
in a search of the one-story frame house. There was no sign of the bachelor,
nor was there any indication of foul play in the house.
Turning to Deputies Jones and Miller, the official instructed,
"Go outside and check
Meanwhile, the
sheriff began interviewing the neighbors as to what they had seen that day.
This line of endeavor led to a blank wall. No one had seen Clyde Dierkes after
he apparently had returned home early Sunday night for supper.
"Tell you
what!" the official announced to the puzzled onlookers. I'll get some
lights from the cruiser and we'll all fan out and search the farm. Watch out
for anything out of the ordinary; call me quickly if you spot something."
Thus a search
party was formed, consisting of the deputies and the missing bachelors's
friends and neighbors. But to no avail.
Next, Deputy
Phillips approached Sheriff Susberger and his fellow officers as they gathered
a few feet away from the milling neighbor. "What about those stories which
have been floating around for the past few months about Clyde Dierkes' making a
play for some of the ladies in town?" he asked.
The official
shrugged, I think people are always ready to believe the worst about others.
From what I understand,
Over the years,
the sheriff had heard all sorts of rumors connecting Clyde Dierkes with this
woman or that one-particularly those to whom he had been of service as a
handyman. But like any good officer, he never based his cases on hearsay. When
he had his facts and they were supported by hard evidence, he would take
action. But, not until then.
However, the
official did not dismiss the gossip completely. He realized that jealousy can
be spawned by a simple circumstance which will throw together a man and someone
else's wife- a chat at the supermarket, serving together on a PTA committee-
any of them innocent happenings- or a handyman's call on a friends while the
husband was absent.
Well, I'll check out the rumors," he told his
colleagues, cutting off the conversation least something he said damaging to an
innocent person.
Leaving Deputy
Jones to guard the home of the vanished bachelor, Sheriff Susberger, after
turning off most of the lights, asked Deputy Phillips to look after the rabbit
hound Boozer.
In view of
later developments, the sheriff is reluctant to discuss the events which
followed the discovery that Clyde Dierkes was missing. Like most efficient
officers, began the slow task of developing leads which he hoped might solve
the mystery. His conversations and whatever evidence he found, if any, is
privileged information. However, it is known that the official worked on the
theory that someone might have given the wrong interpretation to Clyde Dierkes'
efforts to be helpful. Later, this proved to be true.
But to protect
the innocent persons concerned, Sheriff Susberger, the next day, Monday,
January 26, 1970 gave out little news to the press. To a reporter in the nearby
city of
That same day,
Sheriff Sulsberger made a telephone call to
Afterward, he had his cruiser gassed and oiled, which
was a tip-off that he intended to make a long journey. But except to his
deputies, the purpose of the trip was not known at that time.

stream of calls from reporters in the

proved that Sheriff Slusberger was not going on a "mystery trip" that
day. But at the moment it was that. He was working on a hunch- those flashes
that come to good officers who recall a remote fact out of the past which can
be tied to the present.
Before leaving
Beautiful Ridge, the official conferred with Monroe County Prosecutor George
Burkhart at the courthouse. Sheriff Sulsberger filled the prosecutor in at that
time on his theory concerning the mystery. "I'll let you know what I find
in
What connection
To those not
familiar with the workings of lawmen, it must be pointed out that hundreds of
man hours go into the probe of missing persons.
But Sheriff
Sulsberger knew that this was not the situation in the present instance. Clyde
Dierkes was a homebody. He was proud of his ridge-top home; he hardly ever left
Clarington, unless it was to have a saw sharpened in nearby Bellaire or to pick
up tires for his pick-up truck from a merchant across the river in
When Sheriff
Sulsberger returned on Tuesday, January 27 1970 from his trip to
Two men had
been taken into custody on suspicion of murder! and jealousy was mentioned as a
possible factor in the mystery.
On Tuesday,
January 27, 1970, Sheriff Sulsberger told reporters, " I think I have a
murder-but I don't have a body."
Twenty-four
hours later, the grim find was revealed. On Wednesday morning, January 28,
1970, a group of men-including one of the pair who had been taken into custody;
he was identified as 25-year-old Floyd Stewart, of South Gate, Michigan-were
lead by Sheriff Sulsberger, slowly along six tortuous miles to the top of
Beautiful Ridge. It was a desolate spot, wind-whipped, snow-ridden.
It was here,
from the farm home of Clyde Dierkes, that Floyd Stewart, according to the
allegations of newsmen accompanying the group, headed along a path to an
abandoned farm owned by his uncle, Harold Stewart, 41, a factory worker living
in Clarington. Harold Stewart was the second man who'd been taken into custody
under suspicion of murder.
The news
reporters were kept back, so it can only be surmised that Floyd Stewart,
allegedly directed the sheriff to an unused well covered by a wooden frame
sagging with age. One the ground was Clyde Dierkes' wallet and a scraper for
removing snow from the windshield of a car.
There, deputies
removing the wooden cover, while others set up lights to probe the inky
darkness 40 feet below.
The sheriff was
heard to call for a length of rope. He removed
his white coveralls and disappeared into the murky gloom of the old well.
A faint shout
or two was heard from deep in the bowels of the earth. Then the dripping
sheriff was pulled from the well. He held a brief conversation with his
colleagues while Floyd Stewart, who stands about six feet two inches tall and
weighs more than 200 pounds, watched the activity. He wore a heavy knitted
sweater against the bitter cold.
Once again
Sheriff Sulsberger was lowered into the well. When he emerged, he wasted no
words. "Clyde Dierkes is down there! In 10 feet of water. I've got a rope
on him. Let's pull him up!"
Witnessing the
removal of the bachelor's body from the watery tomb was Proscutor Burkhart. He,
along with Sheriff Sulsberger, examined the corpse when it was placed on the
ground alongside the well casing. They reportedly found that victim had
suffered several bullet wounds in addition to head injuries, presumably
inflicted by a blunt instrument.
Their grisly
task completed, the officials arranged to have the body taken to

As we go to
press, 41-year-old , Harold Stewart faces a charge of murder. His nephew, Floyd
Stewart, is accused of aiding and abetting in killing Clyde Dierkes and dumping
the body in the well. They plead Not Guilty to all allegations.
For Sheriff
Sulsberger and his colleagues, it was a respite from four days without rest.
Despite his
suffering from flu, the sheriff endangered his life by plunging into 10 feet of
freezing water to recover the victim.
The stalwart
official is hesitant to discuss the investigation. The Constitutional rights of
the suspects to a fair and impartial hearing are paramount in his mind and in
that of Prosecutor Burkhart.
It is

be treated strictly as hearsay.
During a press
conference, Sheriff Sulsberger acknowledged that the mystery trip to
"The
authorities in that city took him into custody but released him because there
was no charge against him. I got there on Monday, and after I talked with him,
he came back voluntarily," the sheriff maintained.
It is alleged
that Clyde Dierkes had performed odd jobs for Harold Stewart's kinswoman.
Neighbors have
stated that the 39-year-old woman and the 65-year-old bachelor had known each
other for the greater part of their lives. At one time, an official connected
with the case said, the woman had for several years, worked for Clyde Dierkes's
mother and father; thus it is possible that an innocent friendship had
developed between the bachelor and the woman.
Under the laws
of our land, Harold and Floyd Stewart, who plead Not Guilty, are entitled to a
fair and impartial hearing. If they are indicated and brought to trial, the pair
must be presumed to be completely innocent of any knowledge of, or connection
with, the murder of Clyde Dierkes, unless proved otherwise beyond a reasonable
doubt.

A muffin is an individual-sized, baked quick bread product.
Muffins in the United States are similar to cupcakes in size and cooking methods, the main difference being that cupcakes tend to be sweet desserts using cake batter and which are often topped with sugar frosting. Muffins are available in both savory varieties, such as cornmeal and cheese muffins, or sweet varieties such as blueberry, chocolate chip, lemon or banana flavours. Muffins are often eaten as a breakfast food. Coffee may be served to accompany muffins. Fresh baked muffins are sold by bakeries, donut shops and some fast food restaurants and coffeehouses. Factory baked muffins are sold at grocery stores and convenience stores and they are also served in some coffee shops and cafeterias.
Outside the United Kingdom, an English muffin is a flatter disk-shaped, typically unsweetened bread of English origin. These muffins are popular in Commonwealth countries and the United States. English muffins are often served toasted for breakfast. English muffins may be served with butter or margarine. English muffins may be topped with sweet toppings, such as jam or honey, or savoury toppings (e.g., round sausage, cooked egg, cheese or bacon). English muffins are typically eaten as a breakfast food.
Recipes for quick bread muffins are common in 19th-century American cookbooks. Recipes for yeast-based muffins, which were sometimes called "common muffins" or "wheat muffins" in 19th-century American cookbooks, can be found in much older cookbooks. In her Boston Cooking-School Cook Book, Fannie Farmer gave recipes for both types of muffins, both those that used yeast to raise the dough and those that used a quick bread method, using muffin rings to shape the English muffins. Farmer indicated that stove top "baking", as is done with yeast dough, was a useful method when baking in an oven was not practical.
The Perfect Muffin
The perfect muffin is the one to find. It must be moist, yet thouroughly baked, prefereably with a glazed mufin top that may be provide an ever-so-slight crunch when bit
To find the perfect muffin, one must search places frequented by muffins. Start with bakeries and local brunch spots
I found my favorite muffin while waiting in line to get brunch. Quite the find! It was a chocolate chip cream cheese muffin, still warm and melty choclate from the oven. It was divine!
It's best to start the search sooner than later. Best of luck!
The Hazards of Muffins
Be forewarned! Once you have muffin, you ain't stopping for nothin'!
Muffins are best kept warm. In cold conditions, they may turn hard and difficult. They will not like to dance of course. In prolonged cold, they may even turn murderous. It's best to come prepared - keept your muffin warm!

Tibetan Mastiff
From the name has its origins from Tibet. Generally regarded as the most expensive dogs. Originally Mastiffs were used to guard livestock and property, currently, they have become household dogs although some still perform the role of being guard dogs.
SIZE:Male Mastiff weighs about 100-160 or more pounds; while the female weighs about 75-125 pounds. In terms of height, the male mastiff is 2inch tall, while female mastiff stands
MAJOR CHARCTERSITICS:.They have really heavy manes and have thick coats. They do not adapt well to living in an apartment although with time and patience they can adjust. Mastiffs are not the appropriate dogs for new dog owners as it will be difficult for them to understand and take care of. Their furriness makes them suitable for cold weather. Also, Mastiff is kid friendly and family friendly as they are loyal and love company. Its size is also something to be watchful of because it has the tendency of becoming obese because of too much consumption of food. And just like every other dog's Mastiff has the potential of mouthiness, everything can be chewed by them. It is important to always have a leash on when walking a mastiff.
EXERCISE:.Generally, Mastiffs are usually active in the mornings and evening and such it is necessary to have time to exercise them during these times. Mastiffs are high energy dogs with a lot of stamina and are always ready for exercise. But it all depends on the breed one has.

South Africa’s troubled airline cancels flights pre-strike
by The Associated PressJOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s troubled state-owned airline has begun canceling flights after two unions announced their workers would go on strike to protest nearly 1,000 expected job cuts.
South African Airways has warned that the strike that begins Friday morning “endangers the future of the airline.”
The airline has canceled nearly all international and domestic flights it operates on Friday and Saturday after the South African Cabin Crew Association and the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa said they would go on strike Friday.
The strike was announced shortly after the airline said it is launching a restructuring process that could affect nearly 950 employees.
The airline says its challenges include insufficient revenue and an aging fleet.
SAA’s international destinations include New York, London, Hong Kong and Frankfurt.

A classy, dreamy dessert of poached meringues floating on a sea of creamy custard, decorated with a ball of spun sugar.
To prepare the poaching liquid (and what will become the crème anglaise), heat the milk and cream in a large lidded pan or deep-sided frying pan. Stir in the vanilla bean paste and bring to a simmer over a low heat.
For the meringues, in a large grease-free bowl use an electric hand whisk to whisk the egg whites together on fast speed, until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Add one tablespoon of the sugar to the egg whites and continue to whisk until the mixture comes back to stiff peaks. Keep adding sugar one tablespoon at a time until 150g/5½oz has been used, and the meringue is thick and glossy.
Using two large tablespoons or serving spoons dipped in cold water, shape six large quenelles from the meringue mixture and place in the poaching liquid, over a very low heat for about 9-10 minutes, flipping the quenelles halfway through. Cover the pan with a lid while poaching. Make sure the poaching liquid doesn’t boil or the meringues will puff up then collapse.
When the quenelles are really puffed up and cooked, transfer them to a wire rack to drain.
For the crème anglaise, pass the poaching milk through a sieve into a large jug.
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar together until pale and fluffy. Pour over the warm poaching milk, whisking continuously. Pour the mixture into a clean heavy-based pan and cook over a very low heat for 3-4 minutes stirring continuously until smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat and set aside.
For the spun sugar, melt the sugar, without stirring, in a small stainless steel pan over a medium heat. Grease a rolling pin or knife steel with oil. Take care as the sugar will be very hot. When it turns a dark golden-brown remove from the heat. Leave to cool slightly, then, using the back of a fork, flick the caramel backwards and forward over the rolling pin or knife steel. Gather the strands into rough ball shape and place on a sheet of parchment paper.
To serve, pour a little crème anglaise into each serving bowl and float a quenelle of meringue on top. Decorate the quenelle with a ball of spun sugar.
