You are given a class Solution and its main method in the editor. In each test cases, it takes an input $ch$ which represents a choice of the following:
Your task is to create the class Calculate and the required methods so that the code prints the volume of the figures rounded to exactly $3$ decimal places.
In case any of the values are $ \le 0$, print "java.lang.NumberFormatException: All the values must be positive" without quotes and terminate the program.
Note: Use Math.PI or $3.14159265$ as the value of pi.
Input Format
First line contains $T$, the number of test cases. Each test case contains ch, representing the choice as given in the problem statement.
Note: You have to determine the data type of each parameter by looking at the code given in the main method.
Constraints
$ 1 \le ch \le 4 $
$ -100 \le a,l,b,h,r \le 100 $
There will be at most $3$ digits after decimal point in input.
Output Format
For each test case, print the answer rounded up to exactly 3 decimal places in a single line. For example, 1.2345 should be rounded to 1.235, 3.12995 should be rounded to 3.130.

-98.54
Sample Output 1
64.000
java.lang.NumberFormatException: All the values must be positive
Explanation
There are two test cases. In the first test case $ch=1$, means you have to calculate the volume of a cube. The next line contains the $a$=4, means the side of the cube is $4$. So the volume of the cube is $64.000$.
In the second test case, you have to calculate volume of a cylinder. But the height of the cylinder is negative, so an exception is thrown.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>This brevet is sanctioned by Audax Club Parisien and Randonneurs
USA, and is subject to RUSA Rules for
Riders. If you are not familiar with these rules, please
read them well in advance so that you can be prepared. They are
Your bicycle must be equipped with front and rear lights, even if you expect to finish in daylight. After dusk, you must use your lights. You must carry adequate reflective garments, preferably conforming to RUSA reflectivity guidelines. If you are observed riding in low light conditions with inadequate lights or reflectivity, you will be disqualified.
Familiarize yourself with procedures for riding a brevet, incuding collection of times and signatures on the control card. The card must be signed and turned in at the finish.
This is a self-supported ride except for one checkpoint with water and a snack near Oxbow summit, about midway between Reedsport and Eugene. There is no SAG. Food and drinks are available at markets along the route. Randonneuring rules prohibit personal support vehicles or other personal support except at the controles, which are marked on the route.
A 300k (186 mile) brevet is a little shorter than a double century, but a little harder because being self-supported you will likely be carrying more gear and supplies. Ride steadily and remember to keep eating and drinking.  Your stomach may turn against sugar, so bring something salty and savory as an alternative.
This is an all-conditions ride. There will be some kind of weather. Maybe it will be wonderful, and maybe it won't. Come prepared. Unless you feel your life or health are at risk, ride through.
When it is very hot in the valley it can be very cold at the coast, so dress in layers. At least one layer of wool on your torso will keep you more comfortable through varying conditions than all synthetic layers.
You need not be a fast rider, but it takes some discipline to move efficiently through a long day of riding. The clock doesn't stop, even when you do, so don't dawdle away your time at the convenience store! The slower you ride, the more important is your “controle discipline.”
On the other hand, at some point in the ride you may feel defeated and exhausted. Don't despair.  Stretch or lay down. Then get back on your bike, and even if the remainder of the ride seems daunting, just make it another ten miles down the road. Repeat as needed.
Most important: Be safe, and enjoy the ride.
The closest inexpensive hotel is Timbers Lodge. There are several other choices on Franklin Blvd, about 5-7 minutes away from the start by bicycle. Franklin Blvd is a busy street by day, but at 4:30am it will pretty empty. Eugene parking structures (Parcade on Willamette, Overpark at 10th and Oak) are free from Friday evening through Sunday. Faculty/Student parking at UO Baker Center, 10th and Broadway, should be free from Friday 6pm through Sunday.

Service
What is the service?
As customer solutions start to expand beyond their own data centres into embracing the benefits of leveraging multi-cloud, the day-to-day management and control of anti-virus and endpoint protection across various technology stacks and locations become highly complex and resource intensive. Anti-Virus as a Service helps to reduce these challenges, whilst increasing your level of trust and confidence in the security health of of your solution stack.
Anti-Virus as a Service provides you with the confidence that your environments are protected from the dangers of viruses and malware, all without the usual headaches associated with the deployment, management and operation of an anti-virus solution.
What technologies do you use?
Building on the capabilities of our Managed Monitoring as a Service, UKCloud uses the industry-leading endpoint security platform SentinelOne as the engine for Anti-Virus as a Service, harnessing the power of machine learning to providing protection that goes beyond that of traditional anti-virus or anti-malware solutions.
For further details as to how we leverage SentinelOne as an approved third party in the delivery of this service, see the Anti-Virus as a Service Service Scope.
What actions will UKCloud perform on positive detection?
Our service uses the following two detection types:
| Detection Type | Description | Default Actions |
|---|---|---|
| Malicious | SentinelOne has detected a file or process as being harmful |
|
| Suspicious | SentinelOne has detected a file or process as having the potential to be harmful |
|
How do I get alerted on events?
All alerting will be performed via a support ticket or any special escalation process agreed between UKCloud and the customer.
How does UKCloud provide urgent maintenance notifications and incident reports?
We don't envisage any scenarios that prevent UKCloud from meeting the Anti-Virus as a Service platform availability KPI defined within the Service Scope for this service. Current Service Status and past incident reports are published on the UKCloud Service Status page.
Note
Should the central Anti-Virus as a Service platform become unavailable, any SentinelOne agents installed locally to the endpoint will remain active and continue to provide protection.
About SentinelOne
What is SentinelOne?
The SentinelOne Singularity platform is an industry-first data lake that seamlessly fuses together the data, access, control and integration planes of its endpoint protection (EPP), endpoint detection and response (EDR), IoT security and cloud workload protection (CWPP) into a centralised platform.
How good is SentinelOne?
SentinelOne is regularly apprised by industry-leading analyst firms and independent third-party testing such as:
Gartner Best Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Solutions as Reviewed by Customers.
Gartner Best Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) as Reviewed by Customers.
SentinelOne received 100% ratings across all testing categories in Protection Accuracy, Legitimate Accuracy and Total Accuracy in SE Labs's Breach Response Test.
MITRE ATT&CK APT29 report:
SentinelOne Singularity Platform had the highest number of combined high-quality detections and the highest number of automated correlations.
SentinelOne grouped all data over the 3-day MITRE test into a mere 11 console alerts, with each alert containing all the details within. Fewer alerts in the Management console are better than more alerts, and Singularity successfully grouped together relevant related data, context and correlation, making it easier for analysts to understand and act.
SentinelOne had the highest number of tool-only detections and the highest number of human/MDR detections.
Analysts are drowning in data and simply aren't able to keep up with sophisticated attack vectors. SentinelOne helps turn data into stories, so analysts can focus on the alerts that matter most.
Which certifications does SentinelOne have?
SentinelOne participates in a variety of testing and has won awards. The most recent third-party tests and awards include:
MITRE ATT&CK APT29 report: Highest number of combined high-quality detections and the highest number of automated correlations, highest number of tool-only detections and the highest number of human/MDR detections.
The first and only Next Gen cybersecurity solution to receive VB100 certification from Virus Bulletin. The VB100 certification is a well-respected recognition in the anti-virus and malware communities due to its stringent testing requirements.
Gartner Best Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Solutions as Reviewed by Customers.
Gartner Best Endpoint Protection Platforms (EPP) as Reviewed by Customers.
Passmark's January 2019 performance test compares SentinelOne to several legacy AV products. Testing showed that SentinelOne performs better than other vendors when the agent is under heavy load. During normal user workload, customers typically see less than 5% CPU load.
Endpoint security
What is endpoint security software?
Endpoint security software is a program that is installed on laptops, desktops and/or servers that protects them from the slew of attacks that can infect an endpoint – malware, exploits, live attacks, script-based attacks, and more – with the purpose of stealing data, profiting financially or otherwise harming systems, individuals or organizations.
Is endpoint security the same as anti-virus?
Endpoint security solution is not an anti-virus. Anti-virus is an antiquated, legacy technology that relies on malware file signatures. SentinelOne Endpoint Security does not use traditional anti-virus signatures to spot malicious attacks. Instead, it uses a combination of static machine learning analysis and dynamic behavioral analysis to protect systems. All files are evaluated in real time before they execute and as they execute. Because SentinelOne technology does not use signatures, you don't have to worry about network intensive updates or local system I/O intensive daily disk scans.
SentinelOne provides "Next Gen endpoint protection". What is this?
Next Gen endpoint security solutions are proactive. They preempt and predict threats in a number of ways. By evaluating all activity in a network, both in the kernel and in user space, these tools keep a close eye on anything that looks suspicious. Machine learning processes are proficient at predicting where an attack will occur. Security tools may use things like out-of-band monitoring to make the surveillance more robust and to catch viruses, malware and other kinds of attacks early.
What detection capabilities does SentinelOne have?
SentinelOne utilises multiple cascading engines: reputation, StaticAI and ActiveEDR capabilities to prevent and detect different types of attacks at different phases.
Detection - Patented Behavioral AI recognizes malicious actions regardless of vector. SentinelOne is the only endpoint security vendor to detect fileless, zero-day and nation-grade attacks in real time.
Prevention - Static AI on the endpoint prevents attacks inline in real time. Consistently ranked for highest efficacy and lowest false-positives, SentinelOne's static AI model replaces legacy antivirus.
Does SentinelOne provide malware prevention?
SentinelOne is designed to prevent all kinds of attacks, including those from malware. SentinelOne's Endpoint Prevention (EPP) component uses StaticAI Prevention to analyse (online or offline) executable files pre-execution; this replaces the need for traditional signatures, which are easily bypassed, require constant updating and require resource-intensive scans on the device.
The SentinelOne engine also performs analysis of PDF, Microsoft OLE documents (legacy MS Office) and MS Office XML formats (modern MS Office) as well as other kinds of files that may contain executable code. The goal of StaticAI in the product is to detect commodity and some novel malware with a compact, on-agent machine learning model that serves as a substitute for the large signature databases used in legacy AV products.
Can SentinelOne detect in-memory attacks?
SentinelOne can detect in-memory attacks.
SentinelOne is integrated with hardware-based Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel TDT) for accelerated Memory Scanning capabilities.
Will the SentinelOne agent slow down my endpoints?
The SentinelOne agent does not slow down the endpoint on which it is installed. The SentinelOne agent is designed to have as little impact on the end user as possible while still providing effective protection both online and offline.
In contrast to other anti-malware products that require constant .dat
file signature updates and daily disk scans, the agent instead uses static file AI and behavioral AI, which saves on CPU, memory and disk I/O. End users have better computer performance as a result. System resource consumption will vary depending on system workload.
Management
How do I access my Anti-Virus as a Service environment?
As it is assumed UKCloud will manage all anti-virus aspects as part of this service, there is currently no environment for customers to access.
How do I manage my services?
As it is assumed UKCloud will manage all anti-virus aspects as part of this service, there is currently no way for a customer to directly manage this service.
Any changes to the service for items such as file or folder exclusions should be requested initially by raising a ticket within the My Calls section of the Portal. Alternatively, you can contact UKCloud Support by phone or email.
How do I instantiate a manual or scheduled scan?
Unlike traditional anti-virus solutions, SentinelOne's real-time AI threat recognition capabilities prevents viruses from embedding themselves into systems, removing the traditional concept of ad-hoc full system scans.
Do I get access to a dashboard or reports?
As it is assumed UKCloud will manage all anti-virus aspects as part of this service, there are currently no dashboard or reporting features for customers to access.
Support
How do I raise a support ticket?
The secure online UKCloud Portal provides most common service management functionality. You can raise tickets within the My Calls section of the Portal. Alternatively, you can contact UKCloud Support by phone or email.
What are your service maintenance windows?
See Understanding UKCloud service maintenance windows.
Can UKCloud provide notifications for service status and maintenance?
Yes, you can subscribe to the UKCloud Service Status page to be alerted to service status and maintenance notifications. Notifications can be via email, text, webhook or Atom/RSS feed. For more information, see How to subscribe to service status notifications.
Onboarding
How can I get started with the service?
Within 5 business days of accepting an order, UKCloud will create the customer's anti-virus environment and commence anti-virus any environments in-line with the Device Group schedules they have opted-in to.
Is there a free trial?
Due to the initial complexity of configuring the anti-virus environment, UKCloud is currently unable to offer a free trial of this service.
Billing and legal
What is the smallest unit of time I will be billed for?
The minimum unit of time for use is monthly. Part months will be rounded up.
Will I be charged for resources in a 'shut off' state?
UKCloud will continue to charge for any resources for which you have elected to have anti-virus protection regardless of the state they're in. To stop any charges, you'll need to raise a ticket within the My Calls section of the Portal. Alternatively, you can contact UKCloud Support by phone or email.
How can I view billing information?
Online visibility of real-time or historic billing information is currently not available as a service provided by UKCloud.
How can I pay for the services?
Payment for UKCloud services can be made by direct bank transfer (BACS/CHAPS). You can find bank details for payment on your invoice.
What are the termination fees?
There are no termination costs for this service.
Security
Do I need to install an agent on my endpoints to enable this service?
Yes, you'll need to deploy the SentinelOne agent to each endpoint so that it can run autonomously on each device, without reliance on an internet connection. The agent sits at the kernel level and monitors all processes in real time. This process is performed by the agent's Dynamic Behavioral Tracking engine, and enables users to see exactly what happened on an endpoint at each stage of execution. This includes origin, patient zero, process and file activity, registry event, network connections and forensic data.
How is any data related to this service kept secure?
UKCloud will deploy and manage all agents used to deliver this service, with all traffic being passed via HTTPS.
Any customer data that UKCloud collects as part of this service will never leave a UKCloud data centre or be shared with a third party.
Is there a protective monitoring service?
Protective monitoring is included with all our IaaS platforms at the hypervisor level and below and follows GPG 13. For more information, see Protective Monitoring from UKCloud.
If you require protective monitoring services above the hypervisor we offer our Security Operations Service to monitor your virtual estate (additional charges apply). For more information, see the Security Operations Service Service Definition.

This post is meant to be a quick getting started guide in order to get your own version of the project up and running.
Fork the repository
Head over to the official 100daysof repository and press the Fork button on the top right corner of the page. This will create a new repository in your GitHub account.
Clone your Fork
Open your terminal and open the folder that you wish to clone the project.
cd documents
git clone https://github.com/<your username>/100daysof.git
Now you will have a folder with the contents of the 100daysof project. You can modify them as you wish and push the changes to your own fork with the command:
git push
Keep your Fork up to date
You should keep your version of the project up to date with the new releases and bug fixes, to do so you should add the official repository as a remote.
git remote add upstream https://github.com/FabioRosado/100daysof.git
Now you can run this command to update your fork
git pull upstream master
But only your local folder will be updated, to push the changes to your GitHub repository you will have to run git push
.
*WARNING:* Depending on how outdated your fork is or what sort of change was added you might get merge conflicts. If this happens you can either revert the changes with git rebase --abort
or try to fix the merges yourself.
Open and update _config.yml
This is where the configuration for your site lays. Everything is self-explanatory, but you should change the title to something like 100daysofcode - <username>
, you should also change the other fields from title:
to avatar:
. Finally, you can include any social network username in order to show up on the left sidebar.

It hardly seemed the setting for the explosion Elayne feared. Harlon Bridge was a village of moderate size, with three inns and enough houses that no one had to sleep in a hayloft. When Elayne and Birgitte went downstairs to the common room that morning, Mistress Dill, the round innkeeper, smiled warmly and offered as much of a curtsy as her size allowed. It was not just that Elayne was Aes Sedai. Mistress Dill was so pleased that her inn was full, what with the roads snowpacked, that she bobbed at nearly everyone. At their entrance, Aviendha hastily gulped the last of her breakfast bread and cheese, brushed a few crumbs from her green dress, and snatched up her dark cloak to join them.
Outside, the sun was just peeking over the horizon, a low dome of pale yellow. Only a few clouds marred a beautiful blue sky, and they were white and fluffy, not the sort to carry snow. It seemed a wonderful day for traveling.
Except that Adeleas was trampling a path up the snowy street, and the white-haired sister was dragging one of the Kin, Garenia Rosoinde, by her arm. Garenia was a slim-hipped Saldaean who had spent the last twenty years as a merchant although she looked only a few years older than Nynaeve did. Normally, her strongly hooked nose gave her a forceful appearance, a woman who would make hard trading and not back away.  A growing knot of Kinswomen followed behind, skirts held high out of the snow, whispering among themselves, with more running from every direction to join. Reanne and the rest of the Knitting Circle were in the front, all grim-faced except for Kirstian, who seemed even paler than usual. Alise was there, too, wearing an utterly blank expression.
Adeleas stopped in front of Elayne and shoved Garenia so hard the woman fell to hands and knees in the snow. Where she stayed, still wailing. The Kinswomen gathered behind her, more of their number flocking in.
“I’m bringing this to you because Nynaeve is busy,” the Brown sister told Elayne. She meant that Nynaeve was enjoying a little time alone with Lan somewhere, but for once, not so much as a hint of a smile crossed her lips. “Be quiet, child!” she snapped at Garenia. Who promptly went silent. Adeleas gave a satisfied nod. “This is not Garenia Rosoinde,” she said. “I finally recognized her. Zarya Alkaese, a novice who ran away just before Vandene and I decided to retire and write our history of the world. She admitted it, when I confronted her. I’m surprised Careane didn’t recognize her before this; they were novices together for two years. The law is clear, Elayne. A runaway must be put back in white as soon as possible and kept under strict discipline until she can be returned to the Tower for proper punishment. She won’t think of running again after that!”
Elayne nodded slowly, trying to think of what to say. Whether or not Garenia—Zarya—thought of running again, she would not be allowed the opportunity. She was very strong in the Power; the Tower would not let her go if it took the rest of her life to earn the shawl. But Elayne was recalling something she had heard this woman say the first time she met her. The meaning had not registered then, but now it did. How would Zarya face novice white again after living as her own woman for seventy years? Worse, those whispers among the Kinswomen had begun to sound like rumbles.
She did not have long to think. Suddenly Kirstian fell to her knees, clutching at Adeleas’ skirts with one hand. “I submit myself,” she said calmly, her tone a wonder coming from that bloodless face. “I was enrolled in the novice book almost three hundred years ago, and ran away less than a year later. I submit myself, and . . . and beg mercy.”
It was white-haired Adeleas’ turn to go wide-eyed. Kirstian was claiming to have run away from the White Tower when she herself was an infant, if not before she was born! Most of the sisters still did not really believe the ages claimed by the Kin. Indeed, Kirstian appeared just into her middle years.
Even so, Adeleas recovered herself quickly. However old the other woman was, Adeleas had been Aes Sedai about as long as anyone living. She carried an aura of age, and authority. “If that is so, child,” her voice did falter just a bit at that, “I fear we must put you in white, too. You will still be punished, but surrendering as you have will gain you some mitigation.”
“That is why I did it.” Kirstian’s steady tone was spoiled somewhat by a hard swallow. She was almost as strong as Zarya—none of the Knitting Circle were weak—and she would be held very closely. “I knew you would find me out sooner or later.”
Adeleas nodded as though that were clearly obvious, though how the woman would have been found out, Elayne could not guess. She very much doubted that Kirstian Chalwin was the name the woman had been born with. Most of the Kin believed in Aes Sedai omniscience, though. They had, at least.
“Rubbish!” Sarainya Vostovan’s husky voice cut through the murmured babble of the Kin. Neither strong enough to become Aes Sedai nor nearly old enough to stand very high among the Kin, she still stepped from the pack defiantly. “Why should we give them up to the White Tower? We have helped women run away, and rightly so! It is not part of the rules to give them back!”
“Control yourself!” Reanne said sharply. “Alise, take Sarainya in hand, please. It seems she forgets too many of the rules she claims to know.”
Alise looked at Reanne, her face still unreadable. Alise, who enforced the Kin’s rules with a firm hand. “It is not part of our rules to hand runaways back, Reanne,” she said.
Reanne jerked as though struck. “And how do you suggest keeping them?” she demanded finally. “We have always held runaways apart until we were sure they were no longer hunted, and if they were found before, we let the sisters take them. That is the rule, Alise. What other rule do you propose violating? Do you suggest that we actually set ourselves against Aes Sedai?” Ridicule of such a notion larded her voice, yet Alise stood looking at her, silent.
“Yes!” a voice shouted from the crowd of Kinswomen. “We are many, and they are few!” Adeleas stared at the crowd in disbelief. Elayne embraced saidar, though she knew the voice was right—the Kin were too many. She felt Aviendha embracing the Power, and Birgitte setting herself.
Giving herself a shake as if coming to, Alise did something far more practical, certainly far more effective. “Sarainya,” she said loudly, “you will report to me when we stop tonight, with a switch you cut yourself before we leave this morning. You, too, Asra; I recognize your voice!” And then, just as loudly, she said to Reanne, “I will report myself for your judgment when we stop tonight. I don’t see anyone getting ready!”
The Kinswomen broke up quickly then, heading off to gather their things, yet Elayne saw some of them talking quietly as they went. When they rode over the bridge across the frozen stream that wound down beside the village, with Nynaeve incredulous over what she had missed and glaring about for someone to call down, Sarainya and Asra carried switches—as did Alise—and Zarya and Kirstian wore hastily found white dresses beneath their dark cloaks. The Windfinders pointed at them and laughed uproariously. But many of the Kinswomen still talked in clusters, falling silent whenever a sister or one of the Knitting Circle looked at them. And there was a darkness to their eyes when they looked at Aes Sedai.
Eight more days of floundering through the snow when it was not falling, and grinding her teeth in an inn when it was. Eight more days of brooding by the Kin, of staring bleakly at the sisters, days of strutting by the Windfinders around Kin and Aes Sedai alike. On the morning of the ninth day, Elayne began to wish everyone had simply gone for everyone else’s throat.
She was just wondering whether they could cover the last ten miles to Caemlyn without a murder, when Kirstian rapped at her door and darted in without waiting for an answer. The woman’s plain woolen dress was not the shade of white proper for a novice, and she had regained much of her dignity somehow, as if knowing her future had smoothed her present, but now she made a hasty curtsy, almost tripping over her cloak, and her nearly black eyes were anxious. “Nynaeve Sedai, Elayne Sedai, Lord Lan says you are to come at once,” she said breathlessly. “He told me to speak to no one, and you aren’t to, either.”
Elayne and Nynaeve exchanged looks with Aviendha and Birgitte. Nynaeve growled something under her breath about the man not knowing private from public, but it was clear before she blushed that she did not believe it. Elayne felt Birgitte focus, the drawn arrow hunting a target.
Kirstian did not know what Lan wanted, only where she was to lead them. The small hut outside of Cullen’s Crossing where Adeleas had taken Ispan the night before. Lan stood outside, his eyes as cold as the air, and would not let Kirstian enter. When Elayne went inside, she saw why.
Adeleas lay on her side beside an overturned stool, a cup on the rough wooden floor not far from one outstretched hand. Her eyes stared, and a pool of congealed blood spread out from the deep slash across her throat. Ispan lay on a small cot, staring at the ceiling.  As well they might have, since a wrist-thick wooden stake stood out from between her breasts. The hammer that had plainly been used to drive it in lay beside the cot, on the edge of a dark stain that ran back under the cot.
Elayne forced herself to stop thinking about emptying her stomach on the spot. “Light,” she breathed. “Light! Who could do this? How could anyone do this?” Aviendha shook her head wonderingly, and Lan did not even bother with that. He just watched nine directions at once, as though he expected whoever, or whatever, had committed this murder to come through one of the two tiny windows if not through the walls. Birgitte drew her belt knife, and by her face, she dearly wished she had her bow. That drawn arrow was stronger than ever in Elayne’s head.
At first, Nynaeve simply stood in one spot, studying the hut’s interior. There was little to see, aside from the obvious. A second three-legged stool, a rough table holding a flickering lamp, a green teapot and a second cup, a rude stone fireplace with cold ash on the hearthstone. That was all. The hut was so small it only took Nynaeve a step to reach the table. Dipping her finger into the teapot, she touched it to the tip of her tongue, then spat vigorously and emptied the whole teapot into the table in a wash of tea and tea leaves. Elayne blinked wonderingly.
“What happened?” Vandene asked coolly from the door. Lan moved to bar her way, but she stopped him with a small gesture. Elayne started to put an arm around her, and received another raised hand to keep her back. Vandene’s eyes remained on her sister, calm in a face of Aes Sedai serenity. The dead woman on the cot might as well not have existed. “When I saw all of you heading this way, I thought . . . We knew we didn’t have many years remaining, but . . . ” Her voice sounded serenity itself, but small wonder if that was a mask. “What have you found, Nynaeve?”
Sympathy looked odd on Nynaeve’s face. Clearing her throat, she pointed to the tea leaves without touching them. To white shavings among the matted black leaves. “This is crimsonthorn root,” she said, trying to sound matter-of-fact and failing. “It’s sweet, so you might miss it in tea unless you know what it is, especially if you take a lot of honey.”
Vandene nodded, never taking her eyes from her sister.  “This much . . . This much kills, but slowly. Even a few sips would be enough.” Taking a deep breath, she added, “They might have remained conscious for hours. Not able to move, but aware. Either whoever did this didn’t want to risk someone coming too soon with an antidote—not that I know one, for a brew this strong—or else they wanted one or the other to know who was killing them.” Elayne gasped at the brutality, but Vandene simply nodded.
“Ispan, I think, since they appear to have taken the most time with her.” The white-haired Green almost seemed to be thinking aloud, working out a puzzle. Cutting a throat took less time than driving a stake through someone’s heart. The calm of her made Elayne’s skin crawl. “Adeleas would never have accepted anything to drink from someone she didn’t know, not out here with Ispan. Those two facts name her killer, in a way. A Darkfriend, and one of our party. One of us.” Elayne felt two chills, her own, and Birgitte’s.
“One of us,” Nynaeve agreed sadly. Aviendha began testing the edge of her belt knife on her thumb, and for once, Elayne felt no objection.
Vandene asked to be left alone with her sister for a few moments, and sat on the floor to cradle Adeleas in her arms before they were out of the door. Jaem, Vandene’s gnarled old Warder, was waiting outside with a shivering Kirstian.
Suddenly a wail burst out inside the hut, the full-throated cry of a woman mourning the loss of everything. Nynaeve, of all people, turned to go back, but Lan laid a hand on her arm, and Jaem planted himself before the door with eyes not much warmer than Lan’s. There was nothing to do but leave them, Vandene to shriek her pain, and Jaem to guard her in it. And share it, Elayne realized, feeling that knot of emotions in her head that was Birgitte. She shivered, and Birgitte put an arm around her shoulders. Aviendha did the same from the other side, and motioned for Nynaeve to join them, which she did, after a moment. The murder Elayne had thought of so lightly had come, one of their companions was a Darkfriend, and the day suddenly felt cold enough to shatter bones, but there was a warmth in the closeness of her friends.
The last ten funereal miles to Caemlyn took two days in the snow, with even the Windfinders decently subdued. Not that they pushed Merilille any less hard. Not that Kin stopped talking, and falling silent whenever a sister or one of the Knitting Circle came near. Vandene, with her sister’s silver-mounted saddle on her horse, appeared as serene as she had at Adeleas’ graveside, but Jaem’s eyes carried a silent promise of death that surely rode in Vandene’s heart, too. Elayne could not have been happier to see the walls and towers of Caemlyn if the very sight had given her the Rose Crown and brought back Adeleas.
Even Caemlyn, one of the great cities of the world, had never seen the likes of their party before, and once inside the fifty-foot walls of gray stone they attracted notice as they crossed the New City along wide, slush-filled streets bustling with people and carts and wagons. Shopkeepers stood in their doorways and gaped. Wagon drivers reined in their teams to stare. Towering Aielmen and tall Maidens eyed them from every corner, it seemed. The people seemed to take no notice of the Aiel, but Elayne did. She loved Aviendha as she did herself, more, but she could not love an army of armed Aiel walking Caemlyn’s streets.
The Inner City, ringed by towered walls of silver-streaked white, was a remembered delight, and Elayne finally began to feel that she was coming home. The streets followed the curves of the hills, and every rise presented a new vista of snow-covered parks and monuments laid out to be seen from above as well as up close, of brightly tiled towers shining with a hundred colors in the afternoon sun. And then the Royal Palace itself was before them, a confection of pale spires and golden domes and intricate stonework traceries. The banner of Andor waved from nearly every prominence, the White Lion on red. And from the others, the Dragon Banner or the Banner of Light.
At the tall gilded gates of the Palace, Elayne rode forward alone in her travel-stained gray riding dress. Tradition and legend said women who first approached the Palace in splendor always failed. She had made clear that she had to do it alone, yet she almost wished Aviendha and Birgitte had succeeded in overruling her. Half the two dozen guards in front of the gates were Aiel Maidens, the others men in blue helmets and blue coats with a red-and-gold Dragon marching across the chest.
“I am Elayne Trakand,” she announced loudly, surprised at how calm she sounded. Her voice carried, and across the great plaza people turned from staring at her companions to stare at her. The ancient formula rolled from her tongue. “In the name of House Trakand, by right of descent from Ishara, I have come to claim the Lion Throne of Andor, if the Light wills it so.”
The gates opened wide.
It would not be that easy, of course. Even possession of the Palace was not enough to hold the throne of Andor by itself. Passing her companions into the care of an astonished Reene Harfor—and very pleased to see that the graying First Maid, round and as regal as any queen, still had the Palace in her capable hands—and a coterie of servants in red-and-white livery, Elayne hurried to the Grand Hall, the throne room of Andor. Alone, again. This was not part of the ritual, not yet. She should have been going to change into the red silk with the pearl-worked bodice and white lions climbing the sleeves, but she felt compelled. This time, not even Nynaeve tried to object.
White columns twenty paces high marched down the sides of the Grand Hall. The throne room was empty, still. That would not last long. Clear afternoon light through the glassed casements in tall windows along the walls mingled with the colored light through the great windows set in the ceiling, where the White Lion of Andor alternated with scenes of Andoran victories and the faces of the land’s earliest queens, beginning with Ishara herself, as dark as any of the Atha’an Miere, as full of authority as any Aes Sedai. No ruler of Andor could forget herself with the predecessors who had forged this nation staring down at her.
One thing she feared to see—the huge monstrosity of a throne, all gilded Dragons, that she had seen standing on the dais at the far end of the Hall in Tel’aran’rhiod. It was not there, thank the Light. The Lion Throne no longer rested on a tall plinth like some trophy, either, but kept its proper place upon the dais, a massive chair, carved and gilded, but sized for a woman. The White Lion, picked out in moonstones on a field of rubies, would stand above the head of any woman who sat there. No man could feel at his ease sitting on that throne, because, so legend said, he would know he had sealed his doom. Elayne thought it more likely the builders had simply made sure a man would not fit on it easily.
Climbing the white marble steps of the dais, she laid a hand on one arm of the throne. She had no right to sit on it herself, not yet. Not until she was acknowledged Queen. But taking oaths on the Lion Throne was a custom as old as Andor. She had to resist the desire to simply fall on her knees and weep into the throne’s seat. Reconciled to her mother’s death she might be, but this brought back all the pain. She could not break down now.
“Under the Light, I will honor your memory, Mother,” she said softly. “I will honor the name of Morgase Trakand, and try to bring only honor to House Trakand.”
“I ordered the guards to keep the curious and the favor-seekers away. I suspected you might want to be alone here for a time.”
Elayne turned slowly to face Dyelin Taravin, as the golden-haired woman walked the length of the Grand Hall. Dyelin had been one of her mother’s earliest supporters in her own quest for the throne. There was more gray in her hair than Elayne remembered, more lines at the corners of her eyes. She was still quite beautiful. A strong woman. And powerful as friend or foe.
She stopped at the foot of the dais, looking up. “I’ve been hearing for two days that you were alive, but I didn’t really believe it until now. You’ve come to accept the throne from the Dragon Reborn, then?”
“I claim the throne by my own right, Dyelin, with my own hand. The Lion Throne is no bauble to be accepted from a man.” Dyelin nodded, as at self-evident truth. Which it was, to any Andoran. “How do you stand, Dyelin? With Trakand, or against? I have heard your name often on my way here.”
“Since you claim the throne by your own right, with.” Few people could sound as dry as she. Elayne sat down on the top step, and motioned the older woman to join her. “There are a few obstacles, of course,” Dyelin went on as she gathered her blue skirts to sit. “There have been several claimants already, as you may know. Naean and Elenia, I have securely locked up. On a charge of treason that most people seem willing to accept. For the time being. Elenia’s husband is still active for her, though quietly, and Arymilla has announced a claim, the silly goose. She’s getting support of a kind, but nothing that need worry you. Your real worries—aside from Aiel all over the city waiting for the Dragon Reborn to come back—are Aemlyn, Arathelle, and Pelivar. For the moment, Luan and Ellorien will be behind you, but they might go over to those three.”
A very succinct list, delivered in a tone suitable for discussing a possible horse trade. Naean and Elenia she knew about, if not that Jarid still thought his wife had a chance at the throne. Arymilla was a goose to believe she would be accepted, whatever her support. The last five names were worrying, though. Each had been as strong a supporter of her mother, as had Dyelin, and each led a strong House.
“So Arathelle and Aemlyn want the throne,” Elayne murmured. “I can’t believe it of Ellorien, not for herself.” Pelivar might be acting for one of his daughters, but Luan had only granddaughters, none near old enough. “You spoke as if they might unite, all five Houses. Behind whom?” That would be a dire threat.
Smiling, Dyelin propped her chin in her hand. “They seem to think I should have the throne. Now, what do you intend about the Dragon Reborn? He hasn’t been back here in some time, but he can pop out of the air, it seems.”
Elayne squeezed her eyes shut for a moment, but when she opened them, she was still sitting on the steps of the dais in the Grand Hall, and Dyelin was still smiling at her. Her brother fought for Elaida, and her half-brother was a Whitecloak. She had filled the Palace with women who might turn on one another at any moment, not to mention the fact that one was a Darkfriend, maybe even Black Ajah. And the strongest threat she faced in claiming the throne, a very strong one, stood behind a woman who said she supported Elayne. The world was quite mad. She might as well add her bit.
“I mean to bond him my Warder,” she said, and went on before the other woman could more than blink in astonishment. “I also hope to marry him. Those things have nothing to do with the Lion Throne, however. The very first thing I intend . . . ”
As she went on, Dyelin began to laugh. Elayne wished she knew whether it was from delight over her plans or because Dyelin saw her own path to the Lion Throne being made smooth. At least she knew what she faced, now.
Riding into Caemlyn, Daved Hanlon could not help thinking what a city for the looting it was. In his years soldiering, he had seen many villages and towns looted, and once, twenty years ago, a great city, Cairhien, after the Aiel left. Strange that all these Aiel had left Caemlyn so apparently untouched, but then, if the tallest towers in Cairhien had not been burning, it might have been hard to know they had been there; plenty of gold, among other things, lying about for the picking up, and plenty of men to do the picking. He could see these broad streets full of horsemen and fleeing people, fat merchants who would give up their gold before the knife touched them in the hope their lives would be spared, slim girls and plump women so terrified when they were dragged into a corner that they could hardly manage to squeal, much less struggle. He had seen those things and done them, and he hoped to again. Not in Caemlyn, though, he admitted with a sigh. If the orders that sent him here had been the sort he could disobey, he would have gone where the pickings might not be so rich, but definitely easier to pluck.
His instructions had been clear. Stabling his horse at The Red Bull, in the New City, he walked a mile to a tall stone house on a side street, the house of a wealthy merchant discreet about her gold, marked with a tiny painted sigil on the doors, a red heart on a golden hand.  Without a word, the huge man led him deeper into the house, then down, toward the basements. Hanlon eased his sword in its scabbard. Among the things he had seen were men and women, failures, led to their own very elaborate executions. He did not think he had failed, but then again, he had hardly succeeded. He had followed orders, though. Which was not always enough.
In the rough stone basement, lit by gilded lamps set all around, his eyes went first to a pretty woman in a lace-trimmed dress of scarlet silk, with her hair caught in frothy lace net. He did not know who this Lady Shiaine was, but his orders had been to obey her. He made his best leg, smiling. She simply looked at him, as if waiting for him to notice what else the basement held.
He could hardly have missed it, since except for a few casks the room held only a large heavy table, decorated in a very strange fashion. Two ovals had been cut in the tabletop, and from one stuck the head and shoulders of a man, his head wrenched back against the wooden surface and held there by means of leather straps nailed to the tabletop and fastened to a block of wood jammed between his teeth. A woman, prepared the same, provided the other decoration. Beneath the table, they knelt with wrists tied to ankles. Quite securely held for any sort of pleasure.  The woman’s hair, spread out on the table, was dark and glossy, but her face was a little long for Hanlon’s taste.
Suddenly he really saw her face, and his hand leaped to his sword before he could stop it. Releasing the hilt took some effort, which he made pains to hide.
“So you have some brains,” Shiaine said. By her accents, she was a noble, and she certainly had the commanding air, sweeping around the table to peer down into the bound man’s face. “I asked the Great Master Moridin to send me a man with brains. Poor Jaichim here has very few.”
Hanlon frowned, and smoothed it away immediately. His orders had come from Moghedien herself. Who in the Pit of Doom was Moridin? It did not matter. His orders had come from Moghedien; that was enough.
The hulking fellow handed Shiaine a funnel, which she fitted into a hole bored through the block of wood between this Jaichim’s teeth.  “Poor Jaichim here failed very badly,” Shiaine said, smiling like a fox looking at a chicken. “Moridin wishes him punished. Poor Jaichim does like his brandy.”
She stepped back, not so far that she could not see clearly, and Hanlon gave a start as the hulking man came to the table with one of the casks. Hanlon did think he could have lifted the thing unaided, but the big man tipped it easily. The bound man shrieked once, and then a stream of dark liquid was pouring from the cask into the funnel, turning his cry to gurgling. The rough smell of crude brandy filled the air. Secured as he was, the man fought, thrashing about, even managing to heave the table sideways, but the brandy kept pouring. Bubbles rose in the funnel as he tried to shout or scream, but the steady stream never faltered. And then his thrashing slowed and stopped. Wide, glazing eyes stared up the ceiling, and brandy trickled from his nostrils. The big fellow still did not stop until the last drops fell from an empty cask.
“I think poor Jaichim has finally had enough brandy,” Shiaine said, and laughed in delight.
Hanlon nodded. He supposed the man had, at that. He wondered who he had been.
Shiaine was not quite finished. At a gesture from her, the hulking man ripped one of the straps holding the Aes Sedai’s gag off of its nail. Hanlon thought the wooden block might have loosened a few of her teeth coming out of her mouth, but if so, she did not waste time on them. She began babbling before the fellow let go of the strap.
“I will obey you!” she howled. “I will obey, as the Great Master commanded! He set the shield on me to dissolve so I could obey! He told me so! Let me prove myself! I will crawl!  Oh, please! Please! Please!”
Shiaine stifled words if not whimpers by putting a hand over the Aes Sedai’s mouth. “How do I know you won’t fail again, Falion? You have failed before, and Moridin left your punishment to me. He gave me another; do I need two of you? I may give you a second chance to plead your case, Falion—perhaps—but if I do, you will have to convince me. I will expect true enthusiasm.”
Falion began screaming pleas again, making extravagant promises, the moment Shiaine’s hand moved, but soon enough she was reduced to wordless shrieks and tears as the gag was replaced, the nail driven through the strap again, and Jaichim’s funnel placed above her gaping throat. The hulking man stood another cask on the table beside her head. The Aes Sedai seemed to go mad, bulging eyes rolling, flinging herself about below the table till it trembled.
Hanlon was impressed. An Aes Sedai must be harder to break than a plump merchant or his round-cheeked daughter. Still, she had had the help of one of the Chosen, it seemed. Realizing that Shiaine was looking at him, he stopped smiling down at Falion. His first rule in life was never to offend those the Chosen set above him.
“Tell me, Hanlon,” Shiaine said, “how would you like to put your hands on a queen?”
He licked his lips in spite of himself. A queen? That he had never done.


"Ball of Fire"
Reviewed by Heather Picker
Directed by Howard Hawks. Written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder. Starring Barbara Stanwyck and Gary Cooper. 1941, 111 min., Not Rated.
"Ball of Fire" is a screwball comedy in which Gary Cooper plays an English professor, Bertrand Potts, who has spent the last eight years in seclusion with seven colleagues, compiling an encyclopedia. When he discovers that the slang terms he was going to use in the encyclopedia are outdated, he enlists the help of a group of "normal" folk with healthy slang vocabularies to assist him in compiling terms.
Among the members of the group is Sugarpuss O'Shea, a burlesque dancer and gangster's moll who has to hide from the authorities because her boyfriend is in trouble with the law. The script was written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder, and Wilder's influence is more evident, though it still isn't nearly as powerful as it would be when the Wilder/Stanwyck collaborations reached their creative peak three years later in 1944 when he directed and co-wrote "Double Indemnity," in which she gave a definitive performance as a femme fatale.
Sugarpuss and Professor Potts become involved, which threatens their lives and the encyclopedia project. Never mind the fact that at first she only pretends to love him to bide time before hastily planned nuptials to her mob boyfriend, who himself has only proposed because he faces criminal charges and Sugarpuss doesn't have to testify against him if they're married. Her indecisiveness when it comes time for the wedding should seem contrived, as by this time the plot is wearing thin, but Stanwyck and Cooper nicely manage to keep the film afloat. "Ball of Fire" was one of the last screwball comedies made before World War II, and though not hysterical, as other Howard Hawks-directed screwball vehicles are, it will hold interest because of great performances. (Note the Snow White story and visual references.) Hawks remade it seven years later as "A Song is Born."

I am a pessimistic idealist who strives for a better world but doesn't actually do much to change it.  All jokes aside, I am a baker who idiotically studied applied environmental sociology, screen studies, and political science without consideration of the future job prospects. Currently trying to learn new skills to help my future employability. Perhaps in the future I will master the art of self deprecation.


Enterprise operation teams have thousands of systems that require continuous monitoring and need a method to digest mass amounts of real-time system data.
hypothesis and solutionDevelop a multi-platform monitoring application that enables operation teams to react quickly to system failures and pinpoint problem areas on a large scale.
key responsibilitiesUser research, prototype testing, feature definition, big data visualization, visual design, and UX.
Operations teams primarily consist of men and spend countless hours in front of a screen. Speaking with our users, I uncovered that a significant portion of them are gamers. Therefore, I wanted to design with a dark aesthetic to allow ease on the eyes, and gamify the way we display and render mass amounts of system data which includes developing a scatter plot like system to view groups of correlated failures at once. The interactions map those of a computer gaming system as well, leveraging keyboard shortcuts to control speed, spin cycles, and zoom into failure points.


One easy way to get started at programming in JavaScript is to interact with the JavaScript interpreter that is built into the browser you are using to view this page. We have set up the statements shown with a dark background such that you can click on them. The mouse click on JavaScript statements is programmed in such a way that a JavaScript interpreter is displayed, which can evaluate the statement and display the resulting value. By the way, the program that makes the mouse click on a JavaScript statement display the interpreter is itself written in JavaScript; we call it the script for the mouse click.
One kind of statement is an A simple kind of an expression is a number. (More precisely, the expression consists of the numerals that represent the number in base 10.) If you ask our script to display the interpreter for the expression statement
Expressions representing numbers may be combined with operators (such as + or *) to form a compound expression that represents the application of a corresponding primitive function to those numbers. For example, evaluate any of the following expression statements[1] by clicking on it:
Expressions such as these, which contain other expressions as components, are called combinations. Combinations that are formed by an operator symbol in the middle, and operand expressions to the left and right of it, are called The value of an operator combination is obtained by applying the function specified by the operator to the arguments that are the values of the operands.
The convention of placing the operator between the operands is known as It follows the mathematical notation that the reader is most likely familiar with from school and everyday life. As in mathematics, operator combinations can be nested, that is, they can take arguments that themselves are operator combinations:
The interpreter always operates in the same basic cycle: It reads a statement from the browser, evaluates the statement, and prints the result. This mode of operation is often expressed by saying that the interpreter runs in a read-eval-print loop. Observe in particular that it is not necessary to explicitly instruct the interpreter to print the value of the statement.

The Meat of the Test
The Three-A Approach:
The Arrangement and Action:
Why Do We Say We Test?
- To verify correct behavior
- To capture information about bugs
- To meet code coverage
- We were told to
Tests Get No Respect
Are There Better Reasons To Test?
- Communication

- Communication
We Exercised The Code, But...
- Description text should declare intent
- Named variables expose meaning better
- Complicated objects can be extracted away
- Domain knowledge can be built in
Tests That Communicate
- Inform other developers of original intent
- Exemplify API use
- Deepen understanding of the business domain
- Expose criteria for correct behavior
Writing Great Code Is Like Writing A Great Story
It Never Happens In A Single Pass
Where Do We Start?
Sometimes choosing the right place to start is the hardest thing you'll do all day
Here's What I'll Do

Facebook is testing a photos-only mode in its app
Source: Techcrunch
What you need to know
- A report shows Facebook is testing a photos-only mode within its app.
- 'Popular photos' uses an algorithm to generate a photos-only feed for users.
- It could offer users an Instagram-esque escape from Facebook's regular content.
A report this week suggests that Facebook is quietly testing a photos-only mode for its mobile app, that would allow users to see algorithmically suggested photos in a feed similar to Instagram.
According to a TechCrunch report, the 'Popular Photos' feature generates an endless feed of photos from your friends in a full-screen view, generating a user experience that feels a lot like Instagram. Very simply, the feature allows users who tap on a photo in their News Feed or on a profile to begin scrolling through more images as a feed, much like 'Related Videos.'
The report suggests:
Popular Photos could offer users a more relaxing, lean-back browsing experience that omits links you have to click through, status updates you have to read, and other content types that bog down the News Feed. Instead, users can just passively watch the pretty pictures go by. Facebook's text and link-heavy feed looks increasingly stodgy and exhausting compared to visual communication-based social networks like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. Users have to do the work of digging into the meaning of News Feed each post rather than being instantly entertained. That experience doesn't fit as well into short browsing sessions throughout the day, or when users are already drained from work, school, or family. Facebook used to have a dedicated Photos bookmark on desktop that would let you just browse that content type, but at some point, it disappeared.
A Facebook spokesperson has reportedly confirmed that it had indeed been testing the feature in October, around the time TechCrunch spotted it. The trial has since concluded, and the feature is being worked on with future tests in mind. It declined to disclose any more details about the motivation behind the feature. But it seems reasonable to suggest that Facebook is perhaps looking to build on the successful model of Instagram, which it of course owns. As TechCrunch suggests, it may well be that Facebook is trying to offer its users some form of relief from the swathe of written content on its site, much of which has become saturated with political opinions, making it frankly exhausting to look at. There is no confirmed timescale as to when Facebook may resume testing of the feature.

Students will use the TI-Nspire CAS to prove their conjecture that a given shape is a parallelogram.
This lesson is suitable for students in an Algebra I classroom.
A.1 The student will solve multistep linear equations and inequalities in one variable, solve literal equations (formulas) for a given variable, and apply these skills to solve practical problems. Graphing calculators will be used to confirm algebraic solutions.
AII.8 The student will recognize multiple representations of functions (linear, quadratic, absolute value, step, and exponential functions) and convert between a graph, a table, and symbolic form. A transformational approach to graphing will be employed through the use of graphing calculators.
This lesson is a modification of the Perimeters, Areas and Slopes—Oh, My! lesson provided by Texas Instruments, for the TI-84 handheld. The original lesson makes use of the Inequalz application on the TI-84.
As the original lesson calls for, the TI-84 is a sutible tool for completing this activity.
When graphing inequalities on the Nspire, the calculator will shade the union of the functions, rather than the intersection. For example, when graphing y≥0 and y≤5, the entire screen will be shaded instead of only the feasible region. This is something to watch out for when implementing this lesson.

Sam Kerr joins Women's Super League leader Chelsea
LONDON – Australia striker Sam Kerr will play for a European club for the first time after Women’s Super League leader Chelsea signed one of the game’s most prolific scorers.
The 26-year-old Kerr joins the London club on the back of scoring 19 goals in 23 games for the Chicago Red Stars in the National Women’s Soccer League.
Kerr is not only the all-time leading scorer in the United Sates but also her homeland where she recently played for Perth Glory after splitting her year between two clubs on two continents.
But she is joining Chelsea on a 2½-year contract and is due to start playing in the second half of the WSL season from January when the mid-season transfer window opens.
“The WSL is the best league in Europe,” Kerr said. “I want team success and I don’t want it to come easy. I feel Chelsea have been building something special over the years and I want to be a part of that. I want to lift some trophies.”
Chelsea has a one-point lead over defending champion Arsenal going into Sunday’s sixth game of the WSL campaign against Manchester United.
Kerr is not set to link up with her new teammates until late December. Competition for a starting place up front includes Bethany England, Fran Kirby and Ramona Bachmann.
“The fact she chose Chelsea when she could have gone to any club in the world is a testament to the players and the staff here, because she saw this is the best place for her to grow and take the next step in her career,” Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said. “That’s a wonderful compliment to us all.”
Kerr has scored 38 times for Australia since making her debut at the age of 15. That includes five at her third World Cup in June where she captained Australia in the run to the last-16.
Kerr, the youngest of four siblings, grew up in an Australia rules football family. Her father, Roger, and Daniel, one of her two brothers, played professionally
Kerr started focusing on soccer after she had to stop playing AFL when she was 12 because there was no women’s league for the hard-hitting sport.
With Kerr completing her transfer to England, the Football Association secured a deal for Australian broadcaster Optus Sport to air games from the WSL, which is Europe’s only fully professional women’s football competition.
“This is our first deal in the Asian region and demonstrates the ever-increasing global appeal of the league,” FA senior broadcast manager Tom Gracey said.

This web interface highlights the GT-FAR pipeline as a Pegasus Workflow. Pegasus enables users to execute the pipeline on wide variety of execution environments ranging from local clusters, grids to computational clouds.
This Amazon based cloud solution, allows users to start a virtual machine on AmazonEC2, and upload their data-sets to perform GT-FAR analysis and makes outputs available in Amazon S3. The interface, allows scientists to run and monitor their analysis runs. It also generates error reports, that can be used to communicate back to developers if the analysis fail.
The Genome and Transcriptome-Free analysis of RNA software package is a collection of tools one can use to analyze RNA reads. GT-FAR is different from most RNA analysis programs because it can perform data quantitation with or without a reference genome and gene model. In the simplest example, imagine you have human rna data from a control and treatment group and want to investigate how RNA differences relate to phenotypic differences. In each case running an RNA file through GT-FAR will involve invoking a sequential workflow which involves the following steps:
The Pegasus project encompasses a set of technologies that help workflow-based applications execute in a number of different environments including desktops, campus clusters, grids, and clouds. Pegasus bridges the scientific domain and the execution environment by automatically mapping high-level workflow descriptions onto distributed resources. It automatically locates the necessary input data and computational resources necessary for workflow execution.Pegasus enables scientists to construct workflows in abstract terms without worrying about the details of the underlying execution environment or the particulars of the low-level specifications required by the middleware (Condor, Globus, or Amazon EC2). Pegasus also bridges the current cyberinfrastructure by effectively coordinating multiple distributed resources.
Pegasus has been used in a number of scientific domains including astronomy, bioinformatics, earthquake science , gravitational wave physics, ocean science, limnology, and others. When errors occur, Pegasus tries to recover when possible by retrying tasks, by retrying the entire workflow, by providing workflow-level checkpointing, by re-mapping portions of the workflow, by trying alternative data sources for staging data, and, when all else fails, by providing a rescue workflow containing a description of only the work that remains to be done. It cleans up storage as the workflow is executed so that data-intensive workflows have enough space to execute on storage-constrained resources]. Pegasus keeps track of what has been done (provenance) including the locations of data used and produced, and which software was used with which parameters.

Setting
On an internet ad exchange, advertisers and their agencies
bid in real time
to display an ad, whenever an internet user loads content containing
a site placement (e.g. a panel within a web site or app for showing
ads.) Achieving a targeted quantity of impressions while
minimizing cost, especially given preferences over user and
placement combinations, is a moving target; bids must be high enough
to win auctions, but low enough to conserve
spending. Further, the optimal bidding strategy changes
constantly according to the actions and reactions of thousands of
other automated bidding agents.
Requirements Bidding agent must minimize cost per
impression (eCPM) while meeting advertiser's purchase order for ad
to appear a mandatory number of times, distributed evenly over a
specified number of days, on a constrained set of desirable
placements. (Potentially negative) difference between
purchase order price and cumulative bidding costs represent agent's
earnings.
Work Performed
Convened working group of advertisers, bidding manaagers, data
engineers, and product managers; then, designed technical roadmap
for replacing manually-calibrated, human-supervised, fixed-strategy
bidding agents with data-driven, self-managing, adaptive, autonomous
agents built on artificial intelligence technologies.
Built and tested production system; worked with operations engineers
and account executives to deploy on live exchange.
Outcome Bidding agents discovered and exploited hidden
features of worldwide ad exchanges, most prominently a fixed-rate
pacing behavior where majority of bidders ensure smooth delivery of
ads across time by dividing targeted number of impressions into
equally-sized allotments for delivery in 5-minute, 15-minute, or
60-minute windows. (For instance, to evenly deliver
400,000 impressions over a 100-hour period, agents are ordered to
win 4,000 auctions per hour, or perhaps 1,000 every fifteen
minutes.)
Depicted above: Horizontal axis represents passage
of time over a 90 minute interval; variously colored points
represent winning bids for different bidding strategies; vertical
axis represents price of winning bid. Key observation is
that due to implementation of pacing behavior across the world,
almost 90% of bids on the exchange occur within the first minutes of
every quarter-hour time block, as agents rush to meet their
scheduled allotment. Thus, they are in unnecessary
contention and pay much higher prices per impression than if they
waited. In fact, at the tail end of each fifteen-minute
period there are already no more bidders; adaptive bidding agents
exploited this dynamic to win repeated auctions at the mimimum bid
price. (For instance, thousands of agents are all bidding
to meet their block goals at 9:00, 9:15, 9:30, and 9:45 AM, but by
9:04, 9:19, 9:34 and 9:49 nobody on the internet is seeing ads
because bidders have exhausted their allotments and are idling until
the next period.)
Average cost improvement of 42% on exchange representing
roughly $100M revenue. (Larger image depicting full

OKAY DESIGN WAS ESTABLISHED BY TWO STUDENS WHO MET IN SAN FRANCISCO AS STUDENTS. THEY BOTH HAD PASSION AND INTERESTED IN PURSUING THEIR LIFE AS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER.  THIS DREAM CAME TRUE IN 2014 WHEN THEY OPENNED A START UP DESIGN FIRM.
