--- layout: default title: Introduction to Compound Sentences ---
Learning about compound sentences is a great place to begin thinking about Grammar Effects, because analyzing and composing compound sentences is so easy!
Here is a compound sentence:
A robin is a kind of bird, and a cat is a kind of mammal.
This sentence can easily be analyzed as two sentences.
You simply...
A robin is a kind of bird. A cat is a kind of mammal.
That is super easy, don't you think?
Here is another very simple example:
A horse is a kind of mammal, and"And" is a conjunction. a crocodile is a kind of reptile.
Again, you just...
A horse is a kind of mammal. A crocodile is a kind of reptile.

Here are two sentences:
Mammals breathe with lungs. Fish breathe with gills.
These sentences can easily be composed as one compound sentence.
Here is what you do:
Mammals breathe with lungs, and"And" is a conjunction. fish breathe with gills.
That is super easy, too, don't you think?
Here is another example:
Frogs often have color patterns that make them hard to see. Some insects have shapes that make them look like sticks or leaves.
These are longer sentences. Do they make you nervous? Just remember these simple directions:
Frogs often have color patterns that make them hard to see, and some insects have shapes that make them look like sticks or leaves.
We changed the period to a comma.
We added "and."

Sometimes a sentence has three or more clausesA clause is a part of a sentence that can stand by itself as a complete sentence.:
A monkey is a mammal that climbs in trees, a dolphin is a mammal that swims in the ocean, and a bat is a mammal that flies through the air.
Now it is easy to see that the compound sentence was really just a list of sentences.
A compound sentence with three or more clauses is easy to analyze:
A monkey is a mammal that climbs in trees. A dolphin is a mammal that swims in the ocean. A bat is a mammal that flies in the air.
A sentence can also have four, five, or more sentences.
If you focus on just one of those sentences at a time, it will be easier to understand.
Now let's think about why writers use compound sentences. Did you notice anything about the three sentences that were joined together to make one sentence?

Sometimes you have three or more sentences that go together:
Whales migrate between the tropics and the arctic. Salmon migrate between streams and oceans. Elk migrate between mountains and valleys.
Do you see why these sentences go together?
It depends on your point of view.
It is easy to compose a compound sentence using these three sentences. Here is what you do:
Whales migrate between the tropics and the arctic, salmon migrate between streams and oceans, and elk migrate between mountains and valleys.
Notice that we use commas where the first two periods went.

Before we talk about this next sentence, why don't you count to see how many clausesA clause is a part of a sentence that can stand by itself as a complete sentence. it has.
Frogs hibernate in lake bottoms, turtles hibernate in ponds, chipmunks hibernate in nests of leaves, and black bears hibernate in burned out logs.
How many clauses did you count? Hover here for the answer.It's four clauses.
Look back and see whether you think each clause is difficult.
Here is that same sentence analyzed into four sentences:
Frogs hibernate in lake bottoms. Turtles hibernate in ponds. Chipmunks hibernate in nests of leaves. Black bears hibernate in burned out logs.
If you read each sentence one at a time, they are pretty easy to understand.
The sentences all do the same thing: each sentence names an animal and tells where it hibernates. Authors often join together a list of similar sentences to make a compound sentence. It is a very common grammar effect.
Using this grammar effect, you can break some pretty large sentences into smaller sentences that are easier to understand.

How many clausesA clause is a part of a sentence that can stand by itself as a complete sentence. are listed here?
Fish are covered with scales. Frogs are covered with soft skin. Birds are covered with feathers. Mammals are covered with hair.
Did you say four? Was that because you counted or because your read it in the C-3 heading?
Either way, good job!
Each of the clausesA clause is a part of a sentence that can stand by itself as a complete sentence. is about a kind of animal and what it is covered with. So all of the clauses go together. It makes sense to join them into a compound sentence:
Fish are covered with scales, frogs are covered with soft skin, birds are covered with feathers, and mammals are covered with hair.
Each of the clausesA clause is a part of a sentence that can stand by itself as a complete sentence. is short, but the compound sentence we made out of them has 22 words. That makes it a pretty long sentence.

So far we have been writing compound sentences that use "and" as the conjunction. These sentences have been showing how things are similar.
Now we will think about compound sentences that emphasize how things are different.
Frogs have soft, moist skin, but lizards have dry, scaly skin.
This compound sentence is showing how frogs are different from lizards.
It may be easier to notice the contrast if we analyze the sentence into its clauses:
Frogs have soft, moist skin. However, lizards have dry, scaly skin.
Did you notice that word, "However"? We can use it to replace the word, "but."

The two sentences below make a contrast:
Most reptiles have four legs. However, snakes do not have legs.
The contrast is between most reptiles and snakes (which are a type of reptile).
The word "However" is used to show the contrast. If we join the two sentences, we will use "but" as the conjunction. The word "but" shows contrast.
Most reptiles have four legs, but snakes do not have legs.
"However" and "but" have the same grammar effect of showing contrast.

This is a longer compound sentence. Does it make a contrast?
Some poisonous snakes have teeth with grooves for injecting venom, but most of the really dangerous poisonous snakes have hollow fangs that work like hypodermic needlesA nurse or doctor gives you a shot with a hypodermic needle. .
Did you skip right to the conjunction to see whether the sentence makes a contrast? If you did, congratulations!
This sentence is a little longer, and it only has two clauses. Each of those clauses is longer and more complicated than the ones you have dealt with so far.
That's okay. We will just do the same things we've been doing:
Some poisonous snakes have teeth with grooves for injecting venom. However, most of the really dangerous poisonous snakes have hollow fangs that work like hypodermic needlesA nurse or doctor gives you a shot with a hypodermic needle. .
It doesn't matter that the clauses are long. You just treat them the same way you do shorter compound sentences—you make separate sentences. Then you can focus on one shorter sentence at a time.

The second of these two sentences is pretty long, isn't it?
A boy or a girl can climb up a birch tree and make it bend to the ground until they jump off. However, ice storms can load birch trees with so much ice that they bend to the ground for good.
We will do the same things as usual:
A boy or a girl can climb up a birch tree and make it bend to the ground until they jump off, but ice storms can load birch trees with so much ice that they bend to the ground for good.
I'll bet you are getting the hang of this so well that you don't need the reminders when you try the grammar effect yourself. What do you think?

See if you can find immediately where to break this sentence and whether it makes a contrast:
Most birds are able to fly with their wings, but ostriches, emus, and penguins do not use their wings for flying.
You probably found the word "but" right away. That shows us where to break the sentence. It also shows us that a contrast is being made.
See if you can list the things we have done to analyze the sentence.
Most birds are able to fly with their wings. However, ostriches, emus, and penguins do not use their wings for flying.
Comma to period? Check.
"However" instead of "but"? Check.
Comma after "However"? Check.
 No reminders this time!
 However, the chipmunk darted into its den before the cat could grab it.
See if you can list the things we do to compose a compound sentence from them.
A cat crouched in the grass patiently watching a chipmunk for a long time, but the chipmunk darted into its den before the cat could grab it.


PLAYING GOD By Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Touchstone Pictures Director: Andy Wilson Writer: Mark Haskell Smith Cast: David Duchovny, Timothy Hutton, Angelina Jolie, Michael Massee, Peter Stormore, Andrew Tiernan, Gary Dourdan, John Hawkes, Al Ahlf
A favorite question of ethics professors in college departments of philosophy is this. Let's say you have one last final exam to pass in order to graduate, at which time you will head for your Peace Corps assignment in Guatemala. You have agricultural expertise which the Central American country can very much use. If you do not pass this exam you will not graduate and your Peace Corps assignment will evaporate. You haven't had time to study for this test (it's in a field unrelated to your interests) and will probably flunk it. But you have an opportunity to copy answers from the whiz kid sitting to you. It is ethical, in this particular case, to do so?
Mark Haskell Smith poses a similar question in his "Playing God," a 1970s-style gangster drama updated to the California of the 1990s under Andy Wilson's direction. A surgeon has squandered his license to practice medicine after losing a patient while he was high on illegal drugs. He is kidnapped by gangsters and offered the chance to perform life-saving surgery on some bad guys who cannot be sent to hospitals for fear of bringing in the police. He loves being a doctor and can, if he chooses, decline the offer, and in the process lose a fee of $10,000 per procedure. Should he perform surgery without a license under these conditions?
The doctor in question is named Eugene Sands, played by TV personality David Duchovny of Fox's program "The X- Files." He is still addicted to drugs, particularly synthetic heroin, and when he does not have a supply handy he'll settle for cough syrup and liquor. He plays God in this film by saving the life of a hoodlum who is shot in a bar (which the doctor frequents to meet his drug contact) and by so doing impresses the lovely Claire (the 21-year-old Angelina Jolie here playing a 28-year-old beauty) and also a mobster known as Raymond (Timothy Hutton). Kidnapped by Hutton, he gets his chance to remove bullets from baddies, live the high life in more ways than one, and even to make goo-goo eyes at Raymond's girlfriend, Claire. In one case he brings a guy back from the brink of death only to find out that the victim was shot after he reveals information about the location of some merchandise.
In the press notes, a producer is quoted as saying, "This film has some unlikely twists and nasty turns. It's got lies, love, action, and enough gunplay for a small Central American war. What more can you want?" Well, now, as long as you ask, for one thing we want some dialogue. In an effort to be California cool, Mark Haskell Smith puts words in his people's mouths that are embarrassing rather than chic. Involved in a formulaic car chase, Raymond says to his girl Claire, who is no longer excited about being with him: "This is a car chase...I went to considerable expense to set it up. I've even considered couples therapy." For his part, the doctor intones, "Hell doesn't always look like Hell. On a good day it looks a lot like L.A."
For another thing, you could have better casting. Timothy Hutton will always come across better as a Vassar College landscape instructor (Jon Robin Baitz's "The Substance of Fire") than as a desperate, wildly envious hood in films like this. When Hutton contorts his face and goes into an off-the- wall screaming act, you're tempted to say, "Wait a minute...you're Timothy Hutton!" And a lisping, nerdy FBI agent played by Al Ahlf is really strange. Is he meant to be? And if Raymond is chased by the FBI, why does he wind up in a state correctional facility?
If nothing else, the picture is politically correct. Bad Chinese drug dealer, good Chinese FBI man. And Russians, African-Americans and Latinos are cast. Duchovny comes off best as a low-key guy who is half good, half bad, matched by the fickle Ms. Jolie who is good when she is with Duchovny, bad when working the hoodlums. Rated R. Running Time: 93 minutes. (C) 1997 Harvey Karten

White Heat (1949)
Grade: 90
In 1949, James Cagney revitalized his career by returning to the stereotype that first made him a star. Cagney's pugnacious, tough-guy onscreen persona was ideally suited for playing gangsters. In "White Heat", pathos is added to his character, giving him even more opportunity to dominate scenes and demonstrate his talents. It also helps that the direction is tight, the story is filled with action, the script has the right mix of colorful slang and one-liners, and the supporting cast (except for O'Brien) is excellent.
Cody Jarrett (Cagney) is the unstable, murderous leader of a gang that specializes in robberies. Verna (Virginia Mayo) is his selfish, unfaithful wife.  Cody is devoted to his mother (Margaret Wycherly), a no-nonsense elderly woman who is part of the gang and lends Cody needed emotional support.
To avoid 'taking the fall' for a 'train job', Cody 'cops a rap' in another state. The 'Feds' plant 'copper' Hank Fallon (Edmond O'Brien) as Cody's cellmate. Fallon works his way into Cody's gang, which busts out of prison.
"White Heat" has two Cagney scenes which have become famous in film circles. He has a nervous breakdown in the prison cafeteria, complete with kicking, screaming, crawling on tables, and punching multiple guards. The film's ending involves an industrial plant that suffers massive explosions, and has Cagney shouting 'Top of the World, Ma!' as the fireballs swell.
Cagney, Mayo and Wycherly are particularly good. O'Brien is competent, but curiously dislikable, perhaps because his pedestrian good-guy/hero role compares poorly with Cagney's charisma. His character has one of the crummiest jobs in filmdom: who would want to be an undercover prison inmate?
The script does has some psychobabble, and the revealing of the Trader's identity seems unlikely. Still, any minor problems that "White Heat" may have do not interfere with its status as an entertaining, intense crime drama.

New CharActers is a series of experiments focusing on the integration of Neural Cellular Automata and Chinese characters.
It involves researches and studies on machine learning, neural networks and the transformation of Chinese characters.
Built with the tensorflow framework, it trys to explore and reveal the interconnection between different Chinese character scripts -
from ancient ages to modern times - with the medium of Python and Javascript code.
Section 1: Cellular Automata
A cellular automaton (CA) is a discrete model of computation studied in automata theory. CAs typically consist of a grid of cells being iteratively updated, with the same set of rules being applied to each cell at every step. The new
state
of a cell depends only on the states of the few cells in its immediate neighborhood.
Despite their apparent simplicity, CAs often demonstrate rich, interesting behaviours, and have a long history of being applied to modeling biological phenomena.
A representative example of CA is the Game of Life devised by the British mathematician John Horton Conway in 1970.
Section 2: Chinese Characters
The history of reforming and simplifying Chinese characters is almost as long as the Chinese characters themselves.
In different dynasties, Chinese characters have undergone several great changes, from the Oracle bone script to the Seal script (篆书) and clerical script (隶书),
and finally to the traditional and simplified Chinese in regular scripts (楷书).
Different from most letter-based languages, the evolution of written Chinese was not just on the level of typography, but more about changes on the structural side.
...
The People's Republic of China issued its first round of official character simplifications in two documents, the first in 1956 and the second in 1964. In the 1950s and 1960s, while confusion about simplified characters was still rampant,
transitional characters that mixed simplified parts with yet-to-be simplified parts of characters together appeared briefly, then disappeared.
"Han unification" was an effort by the authors of Unicode and the Universal Character Set to map multiple character sets of the so-called CJK languages (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) into a single set of unified characters and was completed
for the purposes of Unicode in 1991 (Unicode 1.0).
The algorithm is largely based on the Growing Neural Cellular Automata model in Differentiable Self-organizing Systems, an experimental
format collecting invited short articles delving into differentiable self-organizing systems, proposed by Alexander Mordvintsev, Ettore Randazzo, Eyvind Niklasson, and Michael Levin.
This neural cellular automata system is designed for imitating the same plasticity and robustness as biological life in the digital world:
structures and machines could grow and repair themselves. It focuses on Cellular Automata models as a roadmap for the effort of identifying cell-level rules which give rise to complex, regenerative behavior of the collective.
Settings
The models are trained using Nvdia P100 GPU on Google Colaboratory notebooks.
For the regenerating model (developed by Alexander Mordvintsev),
the target/input data is an image with transparent background, ranging in size from 40 by 40 to 100 by 100 pixels. It takes around 35-40 mins for each target to go through 12000 steps. I increased the step number to 16000-20000 for some
explicitly complex-structure characters.
Training Process
The model will go through a few steps before it has the ability to generate, persist, and recover the target pattern.
Below are some graphs/animation visualizing the training progress.
Example of successful training
CA behaviour at training steps 100, 500, 1000, 4000:
A random sample of the patterns in the pool during training, sampled every 20 training steps:
Example of failed training
The training fails mainly due to two reasons: the indistinction of the foreground (the character) and background (transparent pixels) or the disconnection of the colored pixels of the input image.
This means that the input image should idealy be an image with colored pixels forming a innerconnected pattern (in this case, a Chinese character), and transparent background.

Tests if a path is a junction.
Test-PathIsJunction [-Path] <String> [<CommonParameters>]
Test-PathIsJunction -LiteralPath <String> [<CommonParameters>]
The Test-PathIsJunction
function tests if path is a junction (i.e. reparse point). If the path doesn't exist, returns $false
.
Carbon adds an IsJunction
extension method on DirectoryInfo
objects, which you can use instead e.g.
Get-ChildItem -Path $env:Temp |
Where-Object { $_.PsIsContainer -and $_.IsJunction }
would return all the junctions under the current user's temporary directory.
The LiteralPath
parameter was added in Carbon 2.2.0. Use it to check paths that contain wildcard characters.
| Name | Type | Description | Required? | Pipeline Input | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Path | String | The path to check. Wildcards allowed. If using wildcards, returns |
true | false | |
| LiteralPath | String | The literal path to check. Use this parameter to test a path that contains wildcard characters. This parameter was added in Carbon 2.2.0. |
true | false |
Test-PathIsJunction -Path C:\I\Am\A\Junction
Returns $true
.
Test-PathIsJunction -Path C:\I\Am\Not\A\Junction
Returns $false
.
Get-ChildItem * | Where-Object { $_.PsIsContainer -and $_.IsJunction }
Demonstrates an alternative way of testing for junctions. Uses Carbon's IsJunction
extension method on the DirectoryInfo
type to check if any directories under the current directory are junctions.
Test-PathIsJunction -LiteralPath 'C:\PathWithWildcards[]'
Demonstrates how to test if a path with wildcards is a junction.


Product Manager - What is it all about?
My topic today is about the role of a product Manager.
The Product Manager (PM) is responsible for the strategy, roadmap, and feature definition for that product. In other words, the PM is responsible for the why, what, and when of the product.
I have taken an online course with Udemy about product management. Most likely one of the best online course I have taken. There was a lot of information and I will try to synthesize to the max what I understand a PM should be and should do to be successful and bring value to the product.
First, the PM doesn’t use his/her gut feeling, instead, uses all the info and data gathered to make a decision on the why, what, and when. To be able to do that, the PM looks into several areas. For examples: customer needs/demands, competition, industry trends, customer satisfaction, adoption, retention, referrals given, revenue generated, product quality, roadblocks in developing the product/feature, company’s goals regarding the product, and so on. This requires lots of meetings/listening/follow-ups. It can be done by interviews, internet searches, using metrics, team meetings, etc. With this info on hand, the PM knows if his decisions up until now made sense for the team, product and company’s goal or if changes need to be made.
The PM is kind of a “pivot person” if I may say because he/she is interacting with several areas of a business as well as with external stakeholders. It is the responsibility of the PM to speak the same language than his/her counterpart to make sure messages back and forth are fully understood. This might require the PM to acquire some technical jargon in different areas (legal, marketing, sales, customer services, engineering, programming) or even a minimum of technical skills.
The PM duties encompasses the following:
- Product Development – work on specs & wire framing, adjust target in line with technical difficulties or external factors
- Analysis – competition, metrics
- Research –market trends, competitors, user needs/demands
- Follow up on the product, reviews, news, social medias, feedback
- Product Planning – interact during sprint meetings about what is coming up and get engineer’s feedback and input. Estimate and scope further out.
- Customer Development
In the online class, the research/follow up was estimated as taking 60% of the PM’s time. I wonder if this is specific to the B2C sector…
That’s it for today!

About Paprika Sync
Paprika Sync is a side-project by Greg Schafer to make it easy to share recipes and recipe changes across multiple Paprika app accounts.
The paprika-sync.com site is not public, because the Paprika app's Cloud Sync API uses HTTP Basic Auth (meaning the user's email and password must be sent in plaintext), and I don't want the liability of storing that data for strangers.
But, feel free to host your own instance of Paprika Sync and share it with your family and friends that use the Paprika app. Then, you can all see when Alice adds the recipe for her famous chili, Bob rates a new lasagna recipe as 5 stars, or Jackie adds the perfect high-altitude adjustment notes for their souffle recipe.
Thanks to mattdsteele for documenting the Paprika app's Cloud Sync API.

Duke of York’s comments about sex were worrying, Jo Swinson says
The Liberal Democrat leader said she was ‘quite dismayed’ watching Prince Andrew’s interview.
Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson has described the Duke of York’s comments about sex during his televised interview as “worrying”.
Ms Swinson said she felt uncomfortable at times as she watched Prince Andrew explain on BBC Newsnight his links to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
She told the LBC radio station: “What I found hard to watch was the victims in this affair are those young women and girls, some of whom are much older, who had been sexually abused, trafficked by Epstein and the experience that they had was traumatic.
“And in a sense for somebody to be talking about it without really referencing that, without understanding that, without reaching out to understand that pain and how they must have felt, I just thought was strange to see.”
The politician said the part which “really troubled” her was when the duke talked about sex being a “positive act” for a man.
Mrs Swinson said she thought: “Do you not think it’s a positive act for a woman?’ Because having sex is a positive act for both parties involved in it, whether you’re a man or a woman.
“Because if it’s not a positive act, if it’s not a positive choice, that’s not sex, that’s rape.
“And that I found quite a worrying line – so yes I was quite dismayed watching it.”
Ms Swinson made the comments in reference to Andrew’s response to a question by Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis about Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre.

“You have to take some sort of positive action and so therefore if you try to forget it’s very difficult to try and forget a positive action and I do not remember anything.”
Mrs Giuffre alleged in court documents she “was forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a minor”.
She said they had sex in London and New York, and she alleged that later, when she was aged 18, they had sex again on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein where an orgy took place.
Her allegations were struck from US civil court records in 2015 after a judge said they were “immaterial and impertinent”.
The duke denied sleeping with Mrs Giuffre on three separate occasions when quizzed by Ms Maitlis.
Mrs Giuffre, formerly known as Virginia Roberts, is one of 16 women who claim they were abused by Epstein.
The disgraced financier was found dead in his prison cell earlier this year while facing sex trafficking charges.

At some point I had to change the Wifi credentials of my Redbear Duo board. Following the official instructions at https://github.com/redbear/Duo/blob/master/docs/out_of_box_experience.md I was not able to change the credentials with the Android app. Probably as the app is not anymore maintained.
Thus, I followed the instructions to use a USB connection and the terminal on macOS to set the Wifi credentials.
Those were the steps:
1) Connect the Redbear Duo with the USB cable to my MacBook
2) Push the setup button at the Redbear Duo for at least ten seconds, until it starts flashing very fast. After around three seconds the blue led starts flashing and the Redbear Duo is in Listening mode, but in order to reset the wifi credentials you have to press the button longer until the blue led starts flashing very fast.
3) Search and connect to Redbear Duo:
# search for devices:
ls /dev/tty.usbmodem*
# connect to device
screen /dev/tty.usbmodemXXXXX
4) use commands: i: show id, v: show version and w: setup wifi
5) Done!


Welcome on TerrariaBot documentation
TerrariaBot is a project that have for aim to let people easily create bot in C# for the game Terraria.This project is still in an early stage of development.
You can access the GitHub page here: https://github.com/Xwilarg/TerrariaBot
And on NuGet here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/TerrariaBot/
If you need additional help you can come ask your questions on Discord or open an issue on GitHub
Quick Start
To begin with instantiate a new IPClient, no parameter are neededIPClient client = new IPClient();Once this is done, you can prepare all your callbacks (see section below). Then just connect to the server using
client.ConnectWithIP(string ip, PlayerInformation playerInfos, string serverPassword = "");The first argument is the IP of your server and the second the information about the appearance of your bot.
If your server need a password you can write at as the optional 3rd argument of the ConnectWithIP function.
When you are done with that, see the sections below for more information on how to interact with the library.
Connecting with Steam instead of direct IP
The bot can also connect using your Steam account instead of a direct IP.For that you'll need 2 dependencies:
- TerrariaBot.Steam (NuGet package not available yet)
- Steamworks.NET, you can find the latest release here
Instead of instantiating with a IPClient and using ConnectWithIP you need to use a SteamClient and connect with ConnectWithSteamId.
client.ConnectWithIP(ulong friendSteamId, PlayerInformation playerInfos, string serverPassword = "");The first argument is your friend Steam ID (he must be in your friend list), the others ones are the same as ConnectWithIP.
PlayerInformation
PlayerInformation is a struct allowing to define how your character will be when connecting.public PlayerInformation(string name, byte hairVariant, Color hairColor, Color skinColor, Color eyesColor, Color shirtColor, Color underShirtColor, Color pantsColor, Color shoesColor, PlayerDifficulty difficulty)The arguments are your name, your hair style, all the colors of your clothes and the difficulty you're player will be in.
A Color is a struct that take the red, green and blue color in it constructor.
If you don't want to bother with all of that you can use the static function GetRandomPlayer
public static PlayerInformation GetRandomPlayer(string name, PlayerDifficulty difficulty)This will take a random value for all colors, you then just need to give a name and difficulty.
When you spawn, your base health will be 100 and base mana will be 20.
You can change that using
public void SetHealth(short value)And
public void SetMana(short value)You just need to give them the new value you want and it'll change your player base health/mana.
Client events
After creating a new client, you can subscribe to various events:ServerJoined fires an event when your player join the server. The current player is given in parameter.
public event ActionServerJoined;
NewPlayerJoined fires an event when a new player join the server. When the player join the server, it's also called for each players that are already here.
public event ActionNewPlayerJoined;
Log fires an event when any message is sent from the library. The first argument is used to tell if the message is a debug message, information, warning or error.
public event ActionLog;
ChatMessageReceived fires an event when a message is sent in the in-game chat.
public event ActionChatMessageReceived;
PVPStatusChanged fires an event when someone changes his PVP status.
public event ActionPVPStatusChanged;
TeamStatusChanged fires an event when someone changes his team.
public event ActionTeamStatusChanged;
PlayerPositionUpdate fires an event when a player change his position.
public event ActionPlayerPositionUpdate;
Client methods
There are others methodes you can access through the clientGetPlayerSelf returns your player.
public PlayerSelf GetPlayerSelf()

RUNNERS-UP:
1. If an infinite number of rednecks riding in an infinite
number of pickup trucks fire an infinite number of shotgun
rounds at an infinite number of highway signs, they will
eventually produce all the world's great literary works in
Braille.
2. Why Yawning Is Contagious: You yawn to equalize the pressure
on your eardrums. This pressure change outside your eardrums
unbalances other people's ear pressures, so they must yawn to
even it out.
3. Communist China is technologically underdeveloped because
they have no alphabet and therefore cannot use acronyms to
communicate ideas at a faster rate.
4. The earth may spin faster on its axis due to deforestation.
Just as a figure skater's rate of spin increases when the arms
are brought in close to the body,the cutting of tall trees may
cause our planet to spin dangerously fast.
HONORABLE MENTION
The quantity of consonants in the English language is constant.
If omitted in one place, they turn up in another. When a
Bostonian "pahks" his "cah", the lost r's migrate southwest,
causing a Texan to "warsh" his car and invest in "erl wells."
GRAND PRIZE WINNER
When a cat is dropped, it always lands on
its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the
buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to
the back of a cat; the two will hover, spinning inches above the
ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail
could easily link major metropolitan areas.

World of Warships: Legends cross-play coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4
by Stephany NunneleyYou’ll soon be able to match up with other World of Warships: Legends players on PS4 and Xbox One through cross-play.
If you play World of Warships: Legends, you will soon be able to enjoy a bit of cross-play between other Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players.
At the moment, it will only work in matchmaker, so you won’t be able to interact between the consoles in regards to voice-chat or playing with friends who are on a different console. Still, it’s a start.
For those who’ve never played the free-to-play title, it’s a naval combat game featuring over 200 historic vessels.
It boasts a combination of strategy and real-time combat, and you can customize the look of your ships with camouflage, flags, commanders, and various other modifications. You can even form a Clan and compete against others in Clan League.
Alongside PS4 and Xbox One, the game is also available on PC.
Cross-play will come to consoles on November 25.

It is possible to associate a scenario with a patient that already exists on the Data Server. This allows you to select existing Resource instances to add to the scenarios, update those instances and also create new ones. You can also add a new patient with associated sample data from the same selection dialog.
It is an optional step, and can be done later (there's an add patient option on the Description tab)

Building a Custom Agent Check (Hands On Instructions)
In this example we will create a metric that records a value generated by a custom application. The value generated is a count of the widgets created since the last request. The purpose of the exercise is to see how to submit a metric to Datadog.
So far, we have only used remote machines that you do not have direct access to. For this exercise we need to run a new agent. You can either install the agent on your local laptop, or install to a vagrant machine.
If you want to use Vagrant (and have Vagrant and VirtualBox installed), create a new directory and run the following command:
vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64; vagrant up --provider virtualbox;vagrant ssh
- Go to the Agent installation page (https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#agent) and select the operating system you are using.
- Copy the command and execute it in your shell.
- Change to the
conf.d
directory on your system. On the vagrant machine, the directory is/etc/dd-agent/conf.d
. To find it for other operating systems, review the documentation - Create a new config file for your new agent check. Name the file
checkvalue.yaml
. Edit the file to include the following:
init_config: instances: [{}]
Create a new check file in the checks.d directory. Name the file
checkvalue.py
.Edit the file to include the following:
from checks import AgentCheck class HelloCheck(AgentCheck): def check(self, instance): self.gauge('hello.world', 1)
Restart the agent. On the vagrant machine, run the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent restart
Within a minute, you should see a new metric show up in the Metric Summary called
hello.world
.
Now lets expand the script to be something a bit more useful.
Replace the code in
checkvalue.py
with the following (replacing the value of lburl with the address of your loadbalancer:import urllib2 import simplejson from checks import AgentCheck class CheckValue(AgentCheck): def check(self, instance): lburl = <IP_ADDRESS> response = urllib2.urlopen("http://" + lburl + "/rest") data = simplejson.load(response) self.gauge('coreapp.update.value', data["value"])
Restart the agent. Now run the info command. On the vagrant machine, the command is
sudo /etc/init.d/datadog-agent info
.If you have any issues with the agent, you can debug using the following command:
sudo -u dd-agent dd-agent check checkvalue
Now let’s make the configuration file a bit more useful.
Update the
checkvalue.yaml
file as follows (replacing theipaddress
with your loadbalancer’s ip address):init_config: instances: - ipaddress: <IP_ADDRESS>
Update the
checkvalue.py
file to be as follows:import urllib2 import simplejson from checks import AgentCheck class CheckValue(AgentCheck): def check(self, instance): lburl = instance['ipaddress'] response = urllib2.urlopen("http://" + lburl + "/rest") data = simplejson.load(response) self.gauge('coreapp.update.value', data["value"])
Create a dashboard for this metric.

Overview of risk in decentralized financial systems
Byron Gibson
https://twitter.com/kanzure/status/1229878346709782528
Introduction
This is an overview of catastrophic failure risk in decentralized systems. There are certain degrees of risk in this system where losses can be moderate but not entirely destructive, but also potential failure modes where losses can be serious and ruinous equivalent to the global financial crisis.
From a regulator’s perspective, there’s a couple of primary mandates that regulators are tasked with making rules for. One is consumer protection, another is financial transparency and accountability, money laundering and sanctions and terrorist funding, and organized crime, and then there’s safety and soundness.
For this talk, I want to talk about soundness of financial systems.
A question for the cryptocurrency industry
The traditional financial system has evolved over a period of roughly 300 years. It has evolved in an unplanned and organic manner. It’s built to provide certain services based on the tech capabilities of the time. As problems arised, these were addressed and fixed and repeat that process for 300 years. It’s a complex system with emergent behavior.
There’s normal boom-bust cycles that we have become accustomed to. They are largely understood and socially tolerable, but Global Recession and similar events are abrupt, acute, and socially intolerable because the losses caused by these are simply too great.
It’s also difficult to change or reform the current financial system because so much already depends on it. It’s the platform on which most of the economy runs.
The question for the cryptocurrency industry is that since this is a new industry, and two since this is based on software, is it possible to intentionally design a blockchain-based financial system which is significantly less prone to financial crises and collapses than the traditional financial system? There’s a lot of different components to answering this question. It starts with understanding what are the sources of systemic failure risk.
Sources of risk in decentralized financial systems
One of the sources is cryptography: Dan Boneh, head of the Stanford Center for Blockchain Research, said one of his favorite things about cryptocurrency is that new cryptography is getting deployed and experimented with quickly. By comparison, when it comes to deploying new cryptography to the internet, it takes 10-20 years for that to happen, for the cryptography to get vetted, understood and to the point where all the decision makers are reasonably confident that it’s solid and that it doesn’t have flaws or subtle bugs. Whereas in cryptocurrency industry, it’s been highly experimental and still relatively limited in its user base, and yet new cryptography is being deployed constantl.y It adds a lot of value, and there’s new risk, but that’s the way the industry is. When we’re thinking about identifying sources of systemic failure risks, cryptography is one of those.
The second one is the overall architecture or protocol of these systems. How can consensus be broken by malicious attackers or accidentally? What happens when the architecture of these systems breaks?
Finally, there’s financial and economic failure risk. This is something that has been less worked at than the first two until very recently. I believe last year was the first time I noticed– people like Tarun Chitra– studying cascading failure risk in the financial and economic side of these systems. A professor at Cornell is also studying this. We hope to have her here but unfortunately she couldn’t make it. Until last year, there wasn’t a lot of sophisticated financial engineering or analysis of how the systemic risk works.
Cryptographic risk
The problem with building cryptosystems… and this is largely borrowed from a 2015 Andrew Poelstra presentation.. that these systems are difficult to build, maintain and secure. In cryptography, there’s no range of severity of errors. Cryptography is “it either works or it’s broken” and any subtle flaw could result in a total breach of the system. In cryptography, there’s zero tolerance for any kind of defect.
Also, cryptosystems are subject to active opposition. You have clever, adaptive adversaries attempting to break it and steal all the money from it.
Failures in these systems tend to be catastrophic, and you usually don’t notice until after the damage is done and money is stolen or burned. There can also be a high variance time lag between the time that a bug is introduced and the time that the system is breached, and you might not realize it until someone smarter than you finds the flaw and exploits it.
Permissionless cryptocurrency is an anonymous bearer asset meaning whoever controls the keys controls the asset, just like a physical bearer asset. If the thief steals it, it’s difficult or impossible to undo the theft and clawback.
Blockchain represents a restructuring and replacement of core infrastructure, rather than building on top of tried and true infrastructure. When you combine these risks togethre, this is the engineering and architecture problem that we’re faced with in the industry.
Architecture and protocol level risk
Cryptography components along with consensus systems and other engineering components are put together to make a cryptocurrency system. The cryptographic primitives have their own set of challenges, as discussed. The system as a whole also has its own problems as well. The bitcoin community has lists and lists of different types of attacks against the consensus layer, with all kinds of different names like timewarp attack, 51% attack, withholding attacks, etc. These are all ways that the system can be broken, that a malicious attacker can cause the system to catastrophically fail.
Financial and economic risks
One of the ones that Tarun has just talked about this morning is “compositional risk”. In the traditional financial system, you can make derivatives of derivatives of derivatives. The compositional risk of how these things become increasingly complex is something that we’re starting to pay more attention to.
There are also monetary design considerations as well. Stablecoins have been a big topic for the past few years. There’s a philosophical question here: are stablecoins truly stable? The philosophical question is, in complex systems it may be impossible to control the variance. You can maybe create an impression of control or impression of stability, but what you’re doing is building up greater volatility or blow-up risk over time. It’s essentially like a volcano which looks stable for a long time, until it explodes all of the sudden.
Finally, there’s the base money of cryptocurrency systems itself. Ethereum has its base money of ether and then there’s tokens built on top of it. The monetary system design of the base money is still something that the industry is early stage on, and there’s probably a lot of exploration of different monetary systems coming over the next 10 years.
Conclusion and discussion
Do regulators think about these questions? I’m aware that central bankers do, but what about the others? How can the industry be helpful in thinking about analyzing these problems and challenges?
Q: If I was a regulator, or at the world economic forums, we often talk about the Financial Stability Board… for me, a cheat sheet on the key issues that is maybe– with input across from academic and blockchain ecosystem… would be really useful.
A: I’d be happy to work on that. One of my concerns is that I have seen, and I don’t know for sure, that central banks are looking at this technology and I would hope that we’re able to very clearly understand the challenges of deploying this stuff at the level that central banks operate at, before rushing headlong into it. PBOC has announced that they will be creating a digital currency.
Q: So what are the issues, the different types of attacks… if you can make that, please send that to me and the OECD. I try to map the regulator and oversight bodies.
Q: What if protocol designers are not interested in some of those questions? For example, economists warned that bitcoin’s deflation schedule would be disastrous. I don’t think that outcome has really happened.
A: I think their prediction was that not quite catastrophic things would happen.
Q: So is the prediction that transaction fees would go up?
BB: Yes, and I think high transaction fees would be good.
A: Yeah a lot of things in bitcoin are counterintuitive like that.
Instead of creating value, how do we prevent major harm? That is a way of creating value, obviously. This is a question for the financial guys. What is the regulatory perspective on soundness in general? How does this fit into the mandates that regulators have to think about? Are there things that regulators could use help from the cryptocurrency industry?
The two discussion groups will be, one is putting together a checklist for regulators to review. Bryan understands the protocol risk side really well. Those sound like good subgroups.
Q: In the law school, we have a center for informatics and one for blockchain law and policy where exactly these questions are open for debate and contribution. You write an essay, it gets peer reviewed, but that was the intention of the Blockchain Law Journal.
A: I think they are going to leave some of the journals out during the main conference.
Q: Are these types of forums where you are seeing the most productive conversations where we’re engaging multiple stakeholders from regulators, industry and development? Do we need to evolve these conversations or are you confident that authorities outside this room and regulators are seeking the right inputs to make those decisions?
A: Good question. I know these conversations are happening in subcommunities. The soundness discussion happens among the protocol engineers, but I’m not sure if it happens at a broader level or within the regulator communities.
So I suggest long-term stability of decentralized system has two aspects: economic stability, and the other is technological stability. So let’s divide the two groups that way. So one will talk about economic stability, and the other will talk about technological stability.

C is a general-purpose programming language which features economny
modern control flow and data structures, and a rich set of
operators. C is not a very high level
language, nor a
big
one, and is not of expression, specialized to any
particular area of application. But its absence of restrictions and
its generality make it more convenient and effective for many tasks
than supposedly more powerful languages.
The history of C
programming language is quite interesting. C was originally designed
for and implemented on the UNIX Operating system on the DEC
PDP-1, by Dennis Ritchie. C is the result of a development
process that started with an older language called BCPL. BCPL was
developed by Martin Richards, and it influenced a language
called B, which was invented by Ken Thompson.B led to the
development of C in the 1970s.
For many years, the de facto
standard for C was the version supplied with the UNIX operating
system. In the summer of 1983 a committee was established to create
an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard that
would define the c language. The standardization process took six
years (much longer than anyone reasonably expected).
The ANSIC
standard was finally adopted in December 1989, with the first copies
becoming available in early 1990. The standard was also adopted by
ISO (nternational Standards organization), and the resulting
standard was typically referred to as ANSI/ISso Standard C. In 1995,
Amendment 1 to the C standard was adopted, which, among other
things, added several new library functions. The 1989 standard for
C, along with Amendment 1, became a base document for Standard C++,
defining the C subset of C++. The version of C defined by the
1989 standard is commonly referred to as C89.
During the 1990s,
a new standard for C was being developed. It was the 1999 standard
for C, usually referred to as C99. In general, C99 retained nearly
all of the features of C89. The C99 standardization committee
focused on two main areas: the addition of several numeric libraries
and the development of some special-use, but highly innovative, new
features, such as variable-length arrays and the restrict pointer
qualifier. These innovations have once again put C at the forefront
of computer language development.
C89 is the version of C in
widest use, it is currently accepted by all C compilers, and it
forms the basis for C++.
As we studied earlier, C is a base language for many programming
languages. So, learning C as the main language will play an
important role while studying other programming languages. It shares
the same concepts such as data types, operators, control statements
and many more. C can be used widely in various applications. It is a
simple language and provides faster execution. There are many jobs
available for a 'C' developer in the current market.
C is a
structured programming language in which program is divided into
various modules. Each module can be written separately and together
it forms a single C program. This structure makes it easy for
testing, maintaining and debugging processes.
C contains 32
keywords, various data types and a set of powerful built-in
functions that make programming very efficient.
Another feature
of C programming is that it can extend itself. A C program contains
various functions which are part of a library. We can add our
features and functions to the library. We can access and use these
functions anytime we want in our program. This feature makes it
simple while working with complex programming.
Various
compilers are available in the market that can be used for executing
programs written in this language.
It is a highly portable language which means programs written in
'C' language can run on other machines. This feature is essential if we wish to use or execute the code
on another computer.

In 1978,Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie published
the first edition of The C Programming Language. This book, known to
C programmers as K&R
, served for many years as an informal
specification of the language. The version of C that it describes is
commonly referred to as K&R C. The second edition of the book covers
the later ANSI C standard, described below.
In 1983, the American National Standards Institute formed a committee, X3Jll, to establish a standard specification of C. The standard was completed in 1989 and ratified as ANSI X3.159-1989 "Programming Language C". This version of the language is often referred to as ANSI C. Later on sometimes the label C89 is used to distinguish it from C99 but using the same labelling method.
The same standard as C89 was ratified by the International Organization for Standardization as ISO/IEC 9899:1990, with only formatting changes, which is sometimes referred to as C90. The terms C8191 and C90 refer to essentially the same language.
In 1995, the ISO published an extension, called Amendment 1, for the ANSI-C standard. Its full name finally was ISO/IEC 9899/AMDI:1995 or nicknamed C95. Aside from error correction there were further changes to the language capabilities, Improved multi-byte and wide character support in the standard library,Several new core language features, including static array indices, designated initializers, compound literals, variable-length arrays, flexible array members, variadic macros,Removed several dangerous C89 language features such as implicit function declarations
In March 2000, ANSI adopted the ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard. This standard is commonly referred to as C99.
Some notable additions to the previous standard include
New built-in data types: long long, _Bool, _Complex, and _Imaginary
Several new core language features, including static array indices, designated initializers, compound literals, variable-length arrays, flexible array members, variadic macros, and restrict keyword
new library headers, including stdint.h, <tgmath.h>, fenv.h, <complex.h> Improved compatibility with several C++ features, including inline functions, single-line comments, mixing declarations and code, universal character names in identifiers Removed several dangerous C89 language features such as implicit function declarations and implicit intThree technical corrigenda were published by ISO for C99:
In 2007, work began on another revision of the C standard,
informally calledCIX
until its official publication on
2011-12-15. Th,e C standards committee adopted guidelines to limit
the adoption of new features that had not been tested by existing
implementations.

{% extends "layout.html" %} {% block title %} Hilltop Ballers {% endblock %} {% block main %}
The name of the club Hilltop Ballers come from the fact that the players used a very small space to play the sport of football, which is located at the top of the hill in the area called Hilltop in Dennery. The players found it quite convinient to have their own training ground rather than heading to the main field that all the other teams had to use.
To this date, this club is the only club to which a player has gone on to play in any league in Europe on a premier basis. The player Zaine Pierre playes for the Italian Club of Genoa. This is the Clubs crowning achievement and also the crowning achievement of the island of St lucia so far.

--- layout: post status: publish published: true title: Tony Campana Traded to Arizona for Pitching Prospects author: display_name: Corey Fineran login: Corey email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>url: '' author_login: Corey author_email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>wordpress_id: 8196 wordpress_url: http://ivyenvy.com/?p=8196 date: '2013-02-18 16:02:32 +0000' date_gmt: '2013-02-18 22:02:32 +0000' categories: - Trades tags: - arizona diamondbacks - Diamondbacks - Tony Campana - Jesus Castillo - Erick Leal comments: [] ---
Tony Campana was designated for assignment a week ago and the Cubs had 10 days to trade Campana before he went on waivers. Today, the Cubs moved the fan-favorite to the Arizona Diamondbacks for two 17-year old pitchers, Erick Leal and Jesus Castillo.
Erick Leal turns 18 next month and pitched last season with the Dominican Summer League. The right-handed pitcher started 12 games and had a 6-2 record with a 2.44 ERA. In his one season, Leal pitched 70 innings and gave up just 1 homerun. He had 9 strikeouts and 1.4 walks per 9 innings pitched. Last August, Arizona Snake Pit ranked him #35 in the Diamondback's minor league system. According to Jed Hoyer, Leal will probably be in the Cubs minor league system this year.
Jesus Castillo was acquired in the trade and will most likely be in the Dominican Summer League to start the 2013 season. Castillo, who turns 18 in August, is also a right-handed pitcher that spent last season in the Dominican Summer League. Castillo sported a 2-4 record with a 5.40 ERA in 14 games, 8 of which were games he started.
I'm sure many Cubs fans are horrified that Campana is actually gone. They probably held out hopes that he would clear waivers and then stay in the Cubs system and go to Iowa. If you still need to understand why losing the one-tool Campana is not a big deal, listen to the Tony Campana scary stats in Episode 4.56 of The Ivy Envy Podcast.

The core of ADAMS is the workflow engine, which follows the philosophy of less is more. Instead of letting the user place operators (or actors in ADAMS terms) on a canvas and then manually connect inputs and outputs, ADAMS uses a tree-like structure. This structure and the control actors define how the data is flowing in the workflow, no explicit connections necessary. The tree-like structure stems from the internal object representation and the nesting of sub-actors within actor-handlers.
Here is an overview of some of the functionality available in ADAMS:
| Feature | Available |
|---|---|
| Machine learning/data mining | WEKA, WEKA webservice, MOA, MEKA, parameter optimization, experiment generation on-the-fly, setup generators, time series |
| Data processing | WEKA, R-Project, XML, XSLT, XPath, HTML, JSON |
| Streaming | MOA, Twitter (record/replay) |
| Spreadsheets | MS Excel (r/w), ODF (r/w), CSV (r/w), Gnumeric (r/w) |
| Databases | MS Access, MySQL, SQLite, JDBC |
| Imaging | ImageJ, JAI, BoofCV, ImageMagick, Gnuplot, LIRE, OCR (tesseract), Barcodes (Zxing) |
| Graphics output | BMP, JPG, PNG, TIF, PDF, RAW (dcraw, ufraw) |
| Visualization | Scatter and line plots, Control charts, Images, GIS (OpenStreetMap) |

Susan Granger's review of "JACK FROST" (Warner Brothers)
Just when career-obsessed, hip blues musician Jack Frost (Michael Keaton) is about to achieve his lifelong dream of success, he dies in a car wreck, leaving a devastated wife (Kelly Preston) and young son (Joseph Cross). On the first anniversary of his father's death, the lonely, still-grieving 12 year-old builds a snowman, just like he did with his dad, and tops it with his dad's old hat, red scarf, and gloves. Then, before he falls asleep that night, he plays the old harmonica his dad gave him, remembering his father's promise: "If you play this, I will always hear you, no matter where I am." Magically, father and son are reunited in a way neither thought possible. Although loosely based on the children's tune "Frosty the Snowman," credit director Troy Miller for diluting the heavily emotional dialogue by allowing the camera to tell the story. So, with the exception of a few digital shots, the "special effects" are achieved through an incredible animatron from Jim Henson's Creature Shop, a snowm an who can win snowball fights, go sledding, and snow-boarding. Michael Keaton brings a goofy appeal, muttering "It's bad enough that my ticket got punch but to come back like this is embarrassing!" While not typical holiday fare, it's a contemporary fantasy with thoughts to contemplate. For workaholic fathers, "I was so busy trying to make my mark on the world, I didn't understand you are my mark on the world."  (And don't confuse this "Jack Frost" with a direct-to-video horror clunker about a vicious killer snowman.) On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Jack Frost" is a cool 7, a sentimental story with an icy edge.
