This puzzle is about Increasingly Verbose memes, a format in which increasingly wordy restatements of a simple phrase are paired with increasingly bad (or JPEG-compressed) drawings of something related to that phrase. This is clued by the fact that the drawings in the puzzle come in pairs, with the bottom image in each pair drawn worse than the top one, and also by the fact that the title of the puzzle, Successively More Abundant in Verbiage, is itself a verbosification of "increasingly verbose."
Each pair of drawings is associated with a literary classic, either from its plot-related motifs or from its book cover. For example, the two first drawings depict guillotines, which clues A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, and the last two drawings depict balls of grey twine, which clues To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Each image also contains a distinct roman numeral from 1 to 32 inclusive. The images are sorted alphabetically by book title.
However, the verbose paragraphs do not come in pairs, and it is up to the solver to find two verbose paragraphs for each literary classic that state a famous quote from that classic. In keeping with the flavor of the meme, the more verbose paragraph is always associated with the lower, worse-drawn image, and hence a larger roman numeral. But as an added twist, each paragraph is not a direct verbosification of the original quote, but rather of modified quote in which one of the words has a letter replaced. For example, this paragraph:
It was simultaneously the superlative among coin currencies displaying benign properties, as well the superlative among coin currencies displaying malignant properties.
Is a lengthier version of:
It was the best of dimes, it was the worst of dimes.
Which is a modification of the first sentence from A Tale of Two Cities. The full set of associations between verbose paragraphs and literary quotes is as follows.
| Verbose Paragraph | Source | Original Quote | Modified Quote | Letter | Numeral |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| It was simultaneously the superlative among coin currencies displaying benign properties, as well the superlative among coin currencies displaying malignant properties. | A TALE OF TWO CITIES | IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES | IT WAS THE BEST OF DIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF DIMES | D | 11 |
| A paradoxical superposition would be the most suitable logical structure with which to describe the era in question, given that it was span of chronological proximity during which an observer would describe the state of society as having reached a local extremum vis-à-vis conditions conducive to fruitful and salutary living, overlapping with an encasing of seasoned ground meat of Germanic origin that has earned sufficient distinction to serve as an an epochal landmark. | A TALE OF TWO CITIES | IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES | IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WURST OF TIMES | U | 30 |

Brazilian Grand Prix: Alex Albon fastest in Brazil before crashing
by Andrew BensonAlexander Albon brought a wet first practice session at the Brazilian Grand Prix to a premature end with a crash on slick tyres on a damp track.
The Anglo-Thai, who this week was confirmed as a Red Bull driver for 2020, lost control at the last corner, Juncao, and broke the front suspension and wing.
Albon also ended the session fastest after running when the track was driest on intermediate tyres a few minutes earlier.
His team-mate Max Verstappen and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc also had offs in the treacherous conditions.
They both lost control at Turn Two but neither caused any damage.
Verstappen spun, at almost the same time as Albon went off, and was able to continue without hitting anything. Leclerc merely had a wobble.
And Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat also spun, this time at Turn One, as he also tried the untreated dry-weather tyres.
The list of times were unrepresentative because of the changing conditions, but Albon was quickest by 0.551 seconds from Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas and Ferrari drivers Sebastian Vettel and Leclerc.
The track started very wet at the beginning of the session after heavy rain, but the rain stopped shortly after the end of the session.
The track progressively dried but the incidents at the end proved it was not quite enough for slick tyres.


Sources of money
20 Jun 2015This is the first post in a series about fundraising for entrepreneurs. For an overview, navigate to fundraising 101.
Sources of money and actors in the venture financing business are abundant. There are angels, accelerators, incubators, VC funds, strategic funds, institutional investors, friends and family, grants, and so on and so on. How should you know what is right for you and what is not? VC money definitely is not always the right answer, as this blogpost by Laurie Peterson perfectly illustrates. She also provides an excellent overview over the type of sources of funding that you can leverage next to traditional VC funding.
Especially companies in seed or early funding stage can often profit from alternative funding models to traditional, large VCs. The infographic below demonstrates that VCs have been reluctant to make seed stage investments in recent years, even though the sums of money have increased. Early stage deals have been faring better but the number has been decreasing as of this quarter. This evidence clearly warrants a second look at the alternatives, some of which I will illustrate in this post. I will not cover traditional VCs but will assume that the reader is familiar with what a VC fund is.
“Free Money”
The first option to consider when fundraising are sources of “free money”, i.e. money that does not imply relinquishing equity in the company or taking on debt obligations. I would differentiate between three major categories here:
1. Grants and government schemes
Grants are an extremely useful way to receive funding for early stage research. Grants are usually an option in university environments and are tied to specific types of research.
2. Competitions
Grasshopper has compiled a great list with many available startup competitions(http://grasshopper.com/blog/startup-competition-guide/). There is an abundance of entrepreneurship competitions throughout the US and Europe. Most competitions hand out cash-prizes and in many cases offer additional benefits such as consulting, engineering expertise or introductions to further programs. Grasshopper has compiled a great list with many available startup competitions.
3. Summer programs
Summer programs are another great way to raise money free of cost with the added benefit of mentorship and often office space for several months. The mentorship aspect is actually the most valuable aspect of the offer. Usually, teams participating in those types of programs are strung together in “classes” and go through the program together. The lessons learned from one another plus many bonus programs, workshops and mentorship lessons that the accelerators offer make these programs tremendously valuable. Since many of these programs are conducted by VCs or by major universities, they are also an excellent opportunity expand your network for possible future funding.
Some of the more prominent summer programs are:
Summer@Highland: Check out their blog at http://summerathighland.tumblr.com/ for more details and to know what being part of a summer program is like.
Lightspeed Ventures Fellowship
The caveat with these sources is that you can absolutely not plan for or rely on them. Especially in grants the application process might be very lengthy and burdensome. Competitions and summer programs however are definitely an important stepping stone, giving entrepreneurs the opportunity to re-work pitches, to network and to gain general public exposure for their company.
Angels, Angel Funds and Micro-VCs
Angels in a nutshell are wealthy individuals that usually have either founded a company before or accumulated significant industry expertise. Angels commonly invest between $100.000 to $1.000.000, or more in exceptional cases. For a brief summary on angel investors, read http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/52742. Next to providing initial seed money, angel investors can be of tremendous help with their usually extensive networks and expertise. Angel investors have the reputation to not make money in the fundraising community as many of their investments are in very risky early stage or seed companies. Studies have shown this conception not to be true. For some further reading on angels, visit:
- Angel Blog
- How to be an Angel Investor
- Angel Financing
- Angel List (You should really know this website)
- Different Types of Angels
Angel investor groups have nuanced differences as well.
Courtesy of: Maya Heymann
Angel groups: Angel investor groups or funds consist of several angels that have joined forces in order to combine expertise and to pool financial resources, allowing greater investments. They usually average around 100 members, are region-specific and can differ in the industries they invest in.
Further reading:
Angel funds: Angel funds pool individual angels money into a fund that then gets invested. Entrepreneurs have the advantage of having access to larger monetary funds. The fund managers can find the individual angels invested in the fund that would be the best fit for the company as advisors.
Further reading:
Angel syndicates: Angel list provides the opportunity for syndicates to co-invest in companies. Hereby individual angels make a pledge to a company and other angels make follow-on investments. The investment of one angel hereby acts as a “social proof” or seal of approval. Usually super star angels will have several followers willing to make co-investments. Thus, secure an investment from one and you might get a few follow-ons.
Further reading:
Micro-VCs are venture capital funds with smaller amounts of assets under management (AUM), usually below $50m but up to about $100m. Micro-VCs primarily engage in seed and early-stage deals and invest smaller amounts of money. The current early stage average deal size for Micro-VCs is $3.4m. I have included several links for great readings on micro-VCs here:
- Trends and Top Investors
- Great list of Micro-VCs
- Concerns about growing number of Micro-VCs
- Where is the Micro-VC market going?
Accelerators
Quoting Wikipedia here:
Seed accelerators also known as startup accelerators are fixed-term, cohort-based programs, that include mentorship and educational components and culminate in a public pitch event or demo day. While traditional business incubators are often government-funded, generally take no equity, and focus on biotech, medical technology, clean tech or product-centric companies, accelerators can be either privately or publicly funded and focus on a wide range of industries.
The main differences between business incubators and accelerators are:
- The application process is open to anyone, but highly competitive. Y Combinator and TechStars have application acceptance rates between 1% and 3%.
- A seed investment in the startups is usually made, in exchange for equity. Typically, the investment is between US$20,000 and US$50,000 (or £10,000 and £50,000 in Europe)
- The focus is on small teams, not on individual founders. Accelerators consider that one person is insufficient to handle all the work associated with a startup.
- The startups must “graduate” by a given deadline, typically after 3 months. During this time, they receive intensive mentoring and training, and they are expected to iterate rapidly. Virtually all accelerators end their programs with a “Demo Day”, where the startups present to investors.
- Startups are accepted and supported in cohort batches or classes (the accelerator isn’t an on-demand resource). The peer support and feedback that the classes provide is an important advantage. If the accelerator doesn’t offer a common workspace, the teams will meet periodically.
End quote from Wikipedia. This article gives a very accurate description of accelerators - for detailed rankings of accelerators navigate to http://www.seedrankings.com/.
Conclusion
There is an abundance of alternative funding forms out there. In this post I have tried to give a snapshot. In my the next section - “How to choose the right investor” - I want to cover some of the strategies and caveats when looking for the right investor.
Feel free to leave comments for feedback and pointing out mistakes :-)

Super sub Vidal gets the winner in uninspiring Barca win
by Aidan ShearerArturo Vidal came off the bench for Barca to secure a 2-1 win away to Leganés, however, they will have to improve if they have any title aspirations.
Barca started the match with 4 attackers, in a lineup that included Messi, Griezmann, Suárez and Dembélé. They were far from the better side as in the 12th minute the hosts opened the scoring.
En-Nesyri fired home a stunner in the top corner from outside the box that Ter Stegen could only watch fly past him. For the 3rd league match in a row, Barca failed to keep a clean sheet. Leganés almost doubled their lead 4 minutes later when Óscar had a shot that was drilled into the side netting. Suárez then had a few shots that were saved well by Cuéllar in the Leganés goal as the hosts went in at the break deservedly in front.
Barca came out after the break all guns blazing. A couple of minutes after the interval, Piqué's header crashed off the post, but Barca were rewarded for their efforts shortly after. Messi swung in the corner and Suárez rose above everyone to head it home. Questions may be asked about whether Cuéllar could have saved it, but Suárez wasn't caring as he netted his 7th league goal of the season.

Barca then brought on Vidal for Griezmann and the substitution paid off. 11 minutes from time Dembélé crossed in the corner. It hit the Leganés player and fell to Vidal at the post who tapped in. The Chilean was miles offside but after VAR checked that the Leganés player touched it last, the goal stood and Barca held on to cement their place at the top of the league.
They have two crucial matches coming up: firstly at home to Dortmund in the Champions League and then away to Atlético Madrid next Sunday.

From Check Point isn't for sale, says Shwed - Haaretz Daily Newspaper | Israel News:
Two months ago, antivirus systems giant McAfee was sold to Intel for $7.7 billion. At the time, a number of analysts suggested that Check Point Software Technologies would also be an attractive target for takeover. Gil Shwed, the company's founder and leader, yesterday shrugged at the idea in conversation with reporters, after the company filed its third-quarter financials.
Anything's possible, Shwed said: but he's been very consistent in his position for the last 17 years, which is that Check Point isn't for sale. "We are very proud of the fact that we are an Israeli company, an independent one," he said.
Why would Check Point put themselves up for sale when the financials continue to be strong and only getting better? I think it's just "wishful thinking" by the analysis.

1 The inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, Jehoram's youngest son, king in his place; for the band of men that came with the Arabians into the camp had killed all his older sons. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king.
2 Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he began to reign; he reigned for one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah; she was the daughter of Omri.
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab for his mother was his advisor in doing wicked things.
4 Ahaziah did what was evil in Yahweh's sight, as the house of Ahab was doing, for they were his advisors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 He also followed their advice; he went with Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to fight against Hazael. king of Aram, at Ramoth Gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram.
6 Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds that they had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael, king of Aram . So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to Jezreel to see Joram, the son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
7 Now the destruction of Ahaziah was brought about by God through Ahaziah's visit to Joram. When he had arrived, he went with Jehoram to attack Jehu, the son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh had chosen to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 It came about, when Jehu was carrying out God's judgment on the house of Ahab, that he found the leaders of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers serving Ahaziah.   So the house of Ahaziah had no more power to rule the kingdom.
10 Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she arose and killed all the royal children in the house of Judah.
11 But Jehoshaba, a daughter of the king, took Joash, a son of Ahaziah, and spirited him away from among the king's sons who were killed. She put him and his nurse into a bedroom. So Jehoshaba, a daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that Athaliah did not kill him.
12 He was with them, hidden in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah reigned over the land.

High Dimensional Molecular Data (HDMD) typically have many more variables or dimensions than observations or replicates (D>>N). This can cause many statistical procedures to fail, become intractable, or produce misleading results. This package provides several tools to reduce dimensionality and analyze biological data for meaningful interpretation of results. Factor Analysis (FA), Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA) are frequently used multivariate techniques. However, PCA methods prcomp and princomp do not reflect the proportion of total variation of each principal component. Loadings.variation displays the relative and cumulative contribution of variation for each component by accounting for all variability in data. When D>>N, the maximum likelihood method cannot be applied in FA and the the principal axes method must be used instead, as in factor.pa of the psych package. The factor.pa.ginv function in this package further allows for a singular covariance matrix by applying a general inverse method to estimate factor scores. Moreover, factor.pa.ginv removes and warns of any variables that are constant, which would otherwise create an invalid covariance matrix. Promax.only further allows users to define rotation parameters during factor estimation. Similar to the Euclidean distance, the Mahalanobis distance estimates the relationship among groups. pairwise.mahalanobis computes all such pairwise Mahalanobis distances among groups and is useful for quantifying the separation of groups in DA. Genetic sequences are composed of discrete alphabetic characters, which makes estimates of variability difficult. MolecularEntropy and MolecularMI calculate the entropy and mutual information to estimate variability and covariability, respectively, of DNA or Amino Acid sequences. Functional grouping of amino acids (Atchley et al 1999) is also available for entropy and mutual information estimation. Mutual information values can be normalized by NMI to account for the background distribution arising from the stochastic pairing of independent, random sites. Alternatively, discrete alphabetic sequences can be transformed into biologically informative metrics to be used in various multivariate procedures. FactorTransform converts amino acid sequences using the amino acid indices determined by Atchley et al 2005.

Top 4 Ways to Stay Motivated
Tips to help you survive pandemic fatigue and manage stress at work
Work can be a drag some days, especially this year when we’ve been stuck at home with nowhere to go and no stimulation to boost our moods. You may be feeling particularly upset due to the lack of social interaction with co-workers—no more happy hours, no more office socials. How do you find ways to still feel enthusiasm for your daily assignments and to stay engaged with your work? I offer some tips below.
- Break up your tasks into smaller pieces.
 For each small portion you’re working on, set a timer for yourself so you don’t leave your desk until you’ve accomplished that portion.
- Reward yourself for completing each small task.
 Maybe have a little snack break or YouTube break. The rewards act to incentivize you to finish your work.
- Take a short vacation.
- You may be feeling unmotivated to work because you’re burned out. The feeling of burn out comes on when you’ve overworked yourself so much that you’re just completely wiped and not even more money or more positive recognition is enough to motivate you to achieve and do more. When this happens, it’s time to take a vacation. But don’t take a long vacation because it may make you want to work even less since you’re really enjoying yourself on vacay.
- Keep a gratitude journal.
- Science has shown that when we think about the things that we’re grateful for in life, we tend to be happier and more productive. When you wake up in the morning (or the night before), you should write down three things that you’re grateful for. Could be people or objects. There’s a great journaling book called One-A-Day that you can try.

StreamingLinearAlgorithm[M <: GeneralizedLinearModel, A <: GeneralizedLinearAlgorithm[M]] extends Logging
StreamingLinearAlgorithm implements methods for continuously training a generalized linear model on streaming data, and using it for prediction on (possibly different) streaming data.
StreamingLinearAlgorithm implements methods for continuously training a generalized linear model on streaming data, and using it for prediction on (possibly different) streaming data.
This class takes as type parameters a GeneralizedLinearModel, and a GeneralizedLinearAlgorithm, making it easy to extend to construct streaming versions of any analyses using GLMs. Initial weights must be set before calling trainOn or predictOn. Only weights will be updated, not an intercept. If the model needs an intercept, it should be manually appended to the input data.
For example usage, see
StreamingLinearRegressionWithSGD
.NOTE: In some use cases, the order in which trainOn and predictOn are called in an application will affect the results. When called on the same DStream, if trainOn is called before predictOn, when new data arrive the model will update and the prediction will be based on the new model. Whereas if predictOn is called first, the prediction will use the model from the previous update.
NOTE: It is ok to call predictOn repeatedly on multiple streams; this will generate predictions for each one all using the current model. It is also ok to call trainOn on different streams; this will update the model using each of the different sources, in sequence.

class
StreamingLinearRegressionWithSGD extends StreamingLinearAlgorithm[LinearRegressionModel, LinearRegressionWithSGD] with Serializable
Train or predict a linear regression model on streaming data.
Train or predict a linear regression model on streaming data. Training uses Stochastic Gradient Descent to update the model based on each new batch of incoming data from a DStream (see
LinearRegressionWithSGD
for model equation)Each batch of data is assumed to be an RDD of LabeledPoints. The number of data points per batch can vary, but the number of features must be constant. An initial weight vector must be provided.
Use a builder pattern to construct a streaming linear regression analysis in an application, like:
val model = new StreamingLinearRegressionWithSGD() .setStepSize(0.5) .setNumIterations(10) .setInitialWeights(Vectors.dense(...)) .trainOn(DStream)

Is there a way to search for items by type?
There is the tactic library_search
to search for anything matching the current goal, and also #find
, e.g. #find (_ : nat) + _ = _ + _
okay, thanks!
er, do I need to do anything special for #find
? I get error: command expected
One of the examples from hoogle is finding the map function, here is the equivalent with library search
variables (α β : Type*) def what_is_this : (α → β) → list α → list β := by library_search -- output: exact list.map
er, I'm getting unknown identifier 'library_search'
-- are we using different versions of Lean? (I'm at 3.4.2)
Its a mathlib function sorry, you will need to install mathlib (if you havent already) and import it into your lean file.
https://github.com/leanprover-community/mathlib
Importing library search is then import tactic.library_search
okay, looks like that worked; thanks!
You can also set set_option trace.library_search true
to see a list of all possible results, but then you get quite a few more than you want then.
#find
is also part of mathlib, so you have to import tactic.find
for that to work.

Hello! Welcome to my portfolio. I am studying at Epicodus in order change industries. I am a part of the January/Portland Cohort in the C# track. I'm from Washington State and went to school in South Dakota. Currently residing in the Portland Metro Area. I'm married and my wife and I share one cat-baby.
I graduated highschool in Port Orchard then went into Olympic College in Bremerton. I graduated from Olympic College with an Associates in Business. In order to continue schooling, I moved to South Dakota and graduated from South Dakota State University with a Bachelors in Science of Entrepreneurial Studies.
While attending Olympic College, I was hired in a student leader role for a year where I learned leadership, meeting ettique and valuable skills working in a multi-department environment. In South Dakota, I assistant-managed a small startup called Zapoya Delivery(which was then called Zipdish). For a year and a half leading up to Epicodus, I worked at Columbia State Bank as a Loan Documents Processor.

One-click Deployment at Kubernetes
Blog Linux Con Workshop Demo describes how to use the ServiceComb rapid development company example, the typical enterprise application company example for fast micro-serviced.
Now, github already provides a one-click deployment on the kubernetes cluster. This article is going to focus on the corresponding yaml file and service communication, which will be useful for developers develop and deploy micro-serviced application to the cloud based on the Company model.
One-click Deployment
Run Company on Kubernetes Cluster Provides a detailed user guide, company can be deployed in the kubernetes cluster easily thourgh the following three instructions,
git clone https://github.com/ServiceComb/ServiceComb-Company-WorkShop.git
cd ServiceComb-Company-WorkShop/kubernetes/
bash start.sh
Yaml File Interpretation
Take the author’s actual environment as an example:
root@zenlin:~/src/LinuxCon-Beijing-WorkShop/kubernetes# kubectl get pod -owide
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE IP NODE
company-beekeeper-3737555734-48sxf 1/1 Running 0 17s <IP_ADDRESS> zenlinnode2
company-bulletin-board-4113647782-th91w 1/1 Running 0 17s <IP_ADDRESS> zenlinnode1
company-doorman-3391375245-g0p8c 1/1 Running 0 17s <IP_ADDRESS> zenlinnode1
company-manager-454733969-0c1g8 1/1 Running 0 16s <IP_ADDRESS> zenlinnode2
company-worker-1085546725-x7zl4 1/1 Running 0 17s <IP_ADDRESS> zenlinnode1
zipkin-508217170-0khr3 1/1 Running 0 17s <IP_ADDRESS> zenlinnode2
Total of six pods, company manager, company-doorman, company-bulletin-board, company-worker, company-beekeeper, and zipkin, K8S cluster assigns the corresponding cluster IP to them.
root@zenlin:~/src/LinuxCon-Beijing-WorkShop/kubernetes# kubectl get svc -owide
NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE SELECTOR
company-bulletin-board <IP_ADDRESS> <none> 30100/TCP 12m io.kompose.service=company-bulletin-board
company-manager <IP_ADDRESS> <nodes> 8083:30301/TCP 12m io.kompose.service=company-manager
zipkin <IP_ADDRESS> <none> 9411/TCP 12m io.kompose.service=zipkin
Only three services are started, zipkin, bulletin-board, and company-manager, that is because the address of call chain and the bulletin-board need to be passed in the cluster to be called by other services, and the manager is the api gateway nedd to be visited outside the cluster.
Read company-bulletin-board-service.yaml,
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null
labels:
io.kompose.service: company-bulletin-board
name: company-bulletin-board
spec:
ports:
- name: "30100"
port: 30100
targetPort: 30100
selector:
io.kompose.service: company-bulletin-board
status:
loadBalancer: {}
The file defines the service of bulletin-board, and defines the name, port, and targetPort for the service, which is created by ‘kubectl expose’ to keep DNS capability in the cluster. Thus, other services can access the bulletin board and registry themselves.
To the label and selector, it is useful to the situation of one-service to multiple-pods，When a pod dies, it is automatically removed from the endpoints, and new pods matching the Service’s selector will automatically get added to the endpoints.
Read company-worker-deployment.yaml,
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null
labels:
io.kompose.service: company-worker
name: company-worker
spec:
replicas: 1
strategy: {}
template:
metadata:
creationTimestamp: null
labels:
io.kompose.service: company-worker
spec:
containers:
- env:
- name: ARTIFACT_ID
value: worker
- name: JAVA_OPTS
value: -Dcse.service.registry.address=http://company-bulletin-board:30100 -Dservicecomb.tracing.collector.adress=http://zipkin:9411
image: servicecomb/worker:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
name: company-worker
ports:
- containerPort: 7070
- containerPort: 8080
resources: {}
restartPolicy: Always
status: {}
The yaml defines a pod with one replica (replicas: 1), which can be modified to control the number of replicas of the pod(Anyway, the flexibility of the K8S scalability to achieve on-demand dynamic horizontal expansion to reach the purpose, material of K8S scalability will be provided later in the website). We mentioned that the company-bulletin-board is a DNS name, it is used as the value of servicecomb.service.registry.address and passed to the service within the pod, such as: -Dcse.service. Registry.address = http: // company-bulletin-board: 30100, kube-dns Automatically resolve the servicename.
Read connect-applications-service to understanding the communication of services in K8S cluster.
Other deployment.yaml and service.yaml are similar to the above except manager service, nodePort is defined in the company-manager-service.yaml to provide External-IP and Service-Port, as follows,
spec:
ports:
- name: "8083"
port: 8083
targetPort: 8080
nodePort: 30301
protocol: TCP
type: NodePort
Get the External-IP and Service-Port by commands,
kubectl get svc company-manager -o yaml | grep ExternalIP -C 1
kubectl get svc company-manager -o yaml | grep nodePort -C 1
Now, you can use the External-IP and nodePort to visit company, Read github.com/ServiceComb/ServiceComb-Company-WorkShop/kubernetes to get details about how to visit it inside or outside the cluster.
Model induction
You can sort out the following model by reading all the deployment.yaml and service.yaml in detail,
In addition, the classic air ticketing system ‘Acmeair’ has also been supported one-click-deployment-at-kubernetes based on the version developed by the ServiceComb framework.

Variables¶
Pulzar, as most of the languages has variables. You can have dynamic, but also staticly typed variables. Lets take a look at this example:
var x = 5; \\ You can change the type of variable without any error
people = True;
x = "No";
x = 5i + 3;
x = 3.14;
As you can see, when you declare variable with keyword var, it will be dynamic - you can change the type without encountering any error. You can declare also static variables, however you can´t change the type of that variable:
int a = 5; \\ You can change the type of variable without any error
people = 3.14; \\ This will give people value 3
people = "test"; \\ This will cause a TypeError, becuase a was declared as integer not a string
Here is example of all static variable types:
int points = 50; \\ Integer
float pi = 3.14159; \\ Float
complex x = 3i + 5; \\ Complex number
str name = "John"; \\ String
char a = 'A'; \\ Character
Operations with dynamic variables:
var x = 5;
echo x / 2; \\ output: 2.5
echo x / 7; \\ output: 0.7142857142857143
echo x ^ 2; \\ output: 25
When the variables are declared dynamically, you can change their type, e. g. type : (x) = int, type : (x / 2) = float.
Operations with static variables:
int a = 31;
echo xa / 3; \\ output: 10, not 10.333333...
When you declare statically variable, however the values's type wont be changed, e. g. type : (a) = int, type : (a / 3) = int.


In the previous posts, the PasswordGenerator always returned ‘Password’. Instead each date should corresponds to a new unique password. We’ll make use of the Crypto-js node package and we’ll see that the AWS lambda copes just fine.
Installing a node package
Pull in the crypto-js package into the serverless component.
$ cd nodejscomponent/
$ npm install crypto-js --save
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>node_modules/crypto-js
Now we need the typescript definitions. Watch out there are two different TypeScript typings called cryptojs and crypto-js. The first one is more complete.
$ typings install cryptojs --ambient --save
? Found cryptojs typings for DefinitelyTyped. Continue? Yes

I’m not sure why, but there’s no export in the typings file for cryptojs. Add the following to the bottom of the cryptojs.d.ts file.

Deploy
$ serverless dash deploy
Now when we visit the endpoint with the correct password for today’s date which happens to be 89366e6199f3.
Mission accomplished! Notice that using a node package did not require any special steps on the AWS side. In fact we have not had to login to AWS since the very beginning when we created an IAM user for the project. And yet we’ve managed to build and deploy a cheap and scalable cloud-based service.
The source code is on GitHub. Note the default .gitignore file skips the admin.env file which contains the (sensitive) AWS keys in it so don’t forget to add your own.
That wraps up my series on building a small, but real-world Serverless application. In a future post, I’d like to look at providing a secured ‘generate’ service to allow authorized users to get today’s password. Stay tuned.


There is no particular Eco Lab coding style in terms of things like
choice of identifier capitalisation, indentation, use of whitespace,
naming schemes and the like. Non-syntactical information is always
misleading, and I can well advise studying the output of doxygen to
work what a particular identifier actually is. For singleton classes,
I have a habit of following the Java convention of capitalising the
class name, and using a lower case for the object. Similarly, for
namespaces, I append a _ns
.
Within header files, I tend to write more compactly, for instance placing an opening brace on the previous line, or putting several simple statements together on one line. In implementation files I tend to space things out a bit more. Obviously, the idea is to only place members with a few lines of definition in the interface file, otherwise migrate the definition to an implementation file.
More important is information that the compiler can use to enforce correctness and performance. The concept of const-correctness is very important in determining flows of data dependencies, similarly exception correctness is important for determining code flow. Use references instead of pointers whereever possible.
Of crucial importance is a concept known as ``Resource Acquisition Is Initialisation''. If you need to access some resource such as memory, process or file, put the resource acquisition into the constructor of some object, and the corresponding resource release as the destructor. This has numerous benefits, ranging from eliminating resource leaks to ensuring exeception-correctness.
Much C++ code is written in a style I would call C/Java style. Objects
are allocated on the heap using new
, and users of class
libraries must ensure that the corresponding delete
is called
to correctly clean up the opbject when it is destroyed. This style of
programming leads to a whole host of subtle problems that RAII avoids.
Eco Lab code tends to assume that objects are default constructible,
copiable, assignable and serialisable (DCAS). These concepts are heirarchical
-- a class composed of members satisfying these criteria, also
satisfies these criteria (or at least can be arranged to saisfy it
through automated technques such as Classdesc). Unless absolutely
necessary, try to ensure classes introduced in your Eco Lab model
satisfy DCAS. Pointers are not DCAS, so if you need to use a pointer
(eg to use a library having objects pointed to), then consider
wrapping the pointer in an RAII style. Eco Lab provides the
ref
class, which is a DCAS type allowing shared
references. ref
is not suitable for polymorphic data, however
Eco Lab provides poly{}
type for handling polymorphic
objects, that is DCAS. The Boost classes shared_ptr
and
intrusive_ptr
(which are part of the TR1 standard addition to
C++) are DCA, but unfortunately are not serialisable per se. Depending on
your need, you may be better off using the Eco Lab ref
and
poly
data types instead of the boost routines.

First Time Setup¶
Get the software¶
First download the RedAlert script.
Adding your Phone Number¶
In order to get text messages, you have to tell RedAlert where to send them! RedAlert sends text messages through emails to your phone. So you need to format your phone number into an email address. You can look up the carriers on your own Google “Email to text provider list” Here’s the top hits I found at http://www.textsendr.com/emailsms.php:
| Cell Provider | Email Address |
|---|---|
| AT&T | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| Qwest | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| Sprint | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| T Mobile | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| T Mobile (Ger) | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| T Mobile UK | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| V Mobile CA | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| Verizon | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| Virgin Mobile | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| Vodacom Africa | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
| Vodafone | [phone<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
Adding your Email¶
RedAlert sends email through a gmail account. But you need to enable less secure apps in Gmail first. https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps
Follow that link, log into your email, and turn on access for less secure apps. There you go!
Now when RedAlert logs in with your information, Google won’t reject it.
Note
Yes, this method is gross, but it works alright. If you’re worried about being spammed or security, I’d recommend looking through the source code to see how we handle this information. Everything is stored locally, and no bad things are transmitted across the internet. Still, probably not the best idea to use your email attached to your bank account. Will be changed on future release.

SmartLock
1.0.0a
|
SmartLock is a project that aims to create a NodeMCU SmartLock that querries a server - made in Spring Boot - and that can be controlled through and iPhone as well as Android app, made in flutter. As such is composed by 3 different compiles, dependant on eachother.
| Application Name | Location on project | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SmartLock Flutter App | ~/lock_app/ | Application that supports both Android and iOS, made in Flutter, used with your server account to access and manage your locks. |
| SmartLock Spring Server | ~/server/ | Application containing a Spring Boot server that is used to control access to the locks, as well as opening and closing them. It also word as an auth door. |
| SmartLock Arduino Client | ~/lockClient/ | Arduino-build app that runs on the Locks to query the server and open or close the lock on request. |
To use your SmartLock simply download the app from the AppStore or PlayStore. Register a new account and use the lock, as simple as that.
Locks -> Add Lock
and entering a Name as well as the lock UUIDLocks -> name of the new lock
Should you want to use your own version of the compilied apps, this are the steps used to compile them.
(all other dependencies are covered in pubspec.yaml)
Compile through the Arduino IDE and load into a ESP8266.
flutter run
to run it on an emulator. flutter build apk --split-per-abi
to generate the APKs.
As simple as gradle build
, and then run the generated JAR file

This function reads PBM scan data from GenePix Results (GPR) files and returns
a single PBMExperiment
object containing
foreground and optionally background probe intensity data in assays. Each
GPR is stored as a column in the object, with metadata specified in the
input scans
table stored in the colData of the object.
If probe design information is also specified as a PBMDesign
object to the optional probes=
argument, this information is also stored
in the rowData of the returned PBMExperiment.
gpr2PBMExperiment( scans, useMedian = TRUE, filterFlags = TRUE, readBackground = TRUE, probes = NULL, ... )
| scans | a data.frame of GPR scan information with at least a single `gpr' column, and preferrably a second `type' column. See details for more information on the content of these columns. |
|---|---|
| useMedian | a logical value whether to use median fluorescent intensity for each probe rather than mean fluorescent intensity. (default = TRUE) |
| filterFlags | a logical value whether to replace intensity values at probes flagged manually or automatically as being low quality (`Bad': -100, `Absent': -75, `Not Found': -50) with NA. (default = TRUE) |
| readBackground | a logical value whether to also read in probe background intensities. (default = TRUE) |
| probes | a |
| ... | optionally, probe design information can be directly specified using
|
PBMExperiment
object with assays containing
intensities from the GPR files specified in the table of scans. The object
includes the following assays:
* fore
- foreground probe intensities,
* back
- background probe intensities (unless readBackground = FALSE
).
Scan metadata included in the data.frame are stored as colData. Probe design information, if specified, is included as rowData.
The primary argument, scans
, must be a data.frame of GPR scan metadata.
Each row of the data.frame should correspond to a single GPR scan. At a minimum
the data.frame must include a single "gpr"
column specifying the paths
to the corresponding GPR files to be read in.
Additionally, GPR files are parsed differently depending on the file type which must be
one of ``Alexa", ``Cy3", or ``Masliner". Both ``Alexa" and ``Cy3" scans
are treated as untouched GPR files, while ``Masliner" files are treated as Masliner-processed
GPR files. If possible, the scan type of each file should be
specified in a "type"
column of the scans
data.frame.
If a "type"
column is not included, all GPR files are assumed to be Alexa488
scans unless the file name in the "gpr"
column contains ``Masliner".

Navy Arms Winchester
If you've ever watched Chuck Connors in "The Rifleman" or seen a John Wayne western movie, odds are, you've seen a Model 1892. Elevated to star status by many of the most famous on-screen cowboys over a 75 year period, the Model 1892 is one of the few American firearms to have over a million produced. Enormously popular, compact, light and fast, the Model 1892 was an improved version of its predecessor, the Model 1886. Scaled down and simplified for smaller modern calibers, this nostalgic rifle still shines. Navy Arms produces one of the finest reproduction 1892 rifles available. This rifle features a bone charcoal color case hardened receiver and a 20" octagonal barrel.
