| Category | Protocol | Description |
|---|
Top Flows displays a table of top network flows in real-time.
The Top Flows tab is used to define and monitor specific flows. Flows are defined using the Flow Specification form.
The shortcuts table below the form contains pre-defined flow specifications. Clicking on a row in the shortcuts table enters settings in the Flow Specification form and starts monitoring flows. Clicking on the clear button in the Flow Specification form removes definition and returns the shortcuts table.
Flow specifications can be entered directly into the form. An incremental search menu lists available options when entering text into the form. Available flow keys vary depending on the traffic being monitored, but the following are the basic layer 2, 3, and 4 protocol fields that are typically present:
Tunneling can cause fields to appear multiple times in the packet. sFlow-RT adds a suffix to the flow key to indicate depth in the protocol stack, for example, a VxLAN encapsulated IP packet would have the following attributes, macsource, ipsource, macsource.1, ipsource.1, etc. Fields with a .1 suffix are the second occurence of the field in the packet and represent the inner (tenant) addresses.
Functions of the form <funcname>:<arg1>:<arg2>... can be applied used to define a flowkey or in a filter:
The Settings tab provides access to the following option:
Shortcuts are the pre-configured flow definitions in the Top Flows table. Shortcuts are represented as a JSON object. The following example shows the format:
[ { "category": "Traffic", "protocol": "IP", "description": "Sources", "keys": "ipsource", "value": "bps", "filter": "" }, ... ]
The Shortcuts count verifies that shortcuts have been installed. Button are available to refresh the counts, upload new shortcuts, and inspect installed shortcuts.


Cambodian opposition leader meets French envoy after house arrest lifted
PHNOM PENH, Nov 11 — Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha met the French ambassador today after his house arrest was lifted, although he remains charged with treason and is banned from politics and leaving the country.
Sokha greeted Ambassador Eva Nguyen Binh outside his home before going inside for talks.
Sokha’s house arrest was lifted as the European Union considers whether to cut preferential trade terms with Cambodia after a crackdown by Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has ruled with an iron grip for more than three decades.
Cambodian authorities have arrested about 50 of Sokha’s supporters and other activists this year, accusing them of plotting a coup to overthrow Hun Sen.
Sokha, 66, was arrested in 2017 and his Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) was dissolved by the Supreme Court in the run-up to last year’s general election.
Hun Sen’s ruling party went on to win every seat in parliament in the vote.
“As an innocent person who has been jailed for two years, I continue to demand that the charges against me be dropped,” Sokha said in a Facebook post yesterday after house arrest was lifted.
“I expect today’s decision to be the first step, but I, as well as many other Cambodians who have lost political freedom, still need real solutions and justice.”
Sokha was accused of plotting with foreigners to oust Hun Sen — a charge he dismissed as nonsense.
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court said in a statement that Kem Sokha could leave his house, but that he could not engage in political activity or leave the country.
The easing of restrictions also comes a day after Sam Rainsy, 70, a co-founder of their now-banned opposition party, flew into the region from self-imposed exile saying he aimed to return home to rally Hun Sen’s opponents.
Speaking in Malaysia, Rainsy welcomed Sokha’s release from house arrest, but said all charges must be dropped and the party reinstated. — Reuters

Release Notes
You're using DART 0.1.9, which is an early release with limited functionality and limited real-world testing. It currently supports the following operations:
- Creating APTrust and DPN bags
- Uploading bags to Amazon's S3 storage service (where APTrust can pick them up for ingest)
- Creating custom BagIt profiles (for advanced users)
This early version of the application will let you try to do things that are not implemented yet, including:
- Uploading bags to an FTP server (doesn't work yet)
- Packaging bags into a directory instead of a tar file (doesn't work yet)
- Uploading multiple files to S3 in a single job (doesn't work yet)
- Uploading a single bag to more than one remote storage service (doesn't work yet)
In the coming months, we plan to add new Storage Service types (in addition to S3) and a few other features. We'll also improve documentation, testing, and quality control.
To run your first job on DART, you'll need to customize a few settings. If you have the required information, this usually takes less than five minutes.
Application Settings define some basic information DART needs to create bags. To change an application setting:
- From the menu, choose Settings > Application Settings
- Click on the name of the setting you want to change
- Enter the new value in the Value field.
- Click Save.
The following built-in settings must be set correctly:
- Bagging Directory - Set this to the directory in which DART should build its bags. When you create a bag of 1 GB of data, DART will create a new directory or tar file in the Bagging Directory that requires just over 1 GB of space (for the original files and a few tag files). The Bagging Directory you set here will be used as the default for all new jobs. You can, however, change the bagging directory for any individual job whenever you please. There will be times when you need to do this, such as when you're bagging 1 TB of data and you know the Bagging Directory does not have that much space. In Application Settings, set Bagging Directory to the directory you'll want to use most of the time.
- Institution Domain - This is required for APTrust users, and will be ignored for most other users. Set this to your institution's domain name: for example, "virginia.edu" or "unc.edu". If your institution has multiple accounts with APTrust, use your organization's subdomain. For example, "library.unc.edu" or "med.virginia.edu". For APTrust depositors, your domain name becomes part of all of your bag names.
A BagIt profile describes how to create a bag so that it meets an organization's specific set of criteria. These criteria generally include:
- What type(s) of payload manifest must be present (md5, sha256, etc.)
- What type(s) of tag manifest must be present
- Which tag files must be present
- Which tags must be present
- Which values are allowed for each tag
- Whether the bag should be serialized or compressed (tar format, zip format, etc)
- And more...
Note that in this early release, DART can only produce tarred bags. If you create a BagIt profile that does not say the bag must be tarred, you'll likely get an error or wind up with a tarred bag when you run your job.
When you create a bag with DART, you will select the files that go into the bag, and then you'll select the BagIt profile that describes how the bag will be packaged. While you must set some tags, such as the bag name and description, individually for each bag, a number of tags, such as your organization name and address, will be the same across all bags. When you customize your BagIt profile, you fill in default values for a number of tags so that you won't have to fill those in each time you create a new bag.
Here's how to customize the built-in APTrust BagIt profile:
- From the menu, choose Settings > BagIt Profiles
- Click on the APTrust profile.
- Under Tags in bag-info.txt click Source-Organization.
- In the popup dialog, fill in the name of your organization in the Default Value field at the bottom.
- Click Save.
That's the only field you'll need to customize for your APTrust profile. If you're customizing the DPN profile, see Customizing the Builtin DPN BagIt Profile below.
A Storage Service is a place you'll upload a bags to. It may be an S3 bucket, or an FTP server, or some other type of service. When you add a Storage Service, you'r simply providing information about where the service is and how to connect to it. To add a Storage Service:
- Choose Settings > Storage Services from the main menu.
- Click the New button.
- Enter the following information:
- Name - Choose a name that describes the service unambiguously. This name will appear on the Jobs page when you are choosing where to send a bag. The name should distinguish between test and production environments so you don't send items to the wrong place.
- Description - Enter a description of the service for your own reference. Because you have a lot going on, don't you? And you know you'll forget what this is later. So do yourself a favor now.
- Protocol - Choose the protocol for connecting to the server. S3 connects to Amazon's S3 service, or any other service that implements the S3 API. FTP connects to FTP servers.
- Host - Enter the name or IP address of the host to connect to. Do not include any prefixes like "ftp://" or "https://". If you're connecting to Amazon's S3 service, the host should be s3.amazonaws.com.
- Port - Enter the port number only of the service is running on a non-standard port. You will almost always want to leave this blank.
- Bucket or Default Folder - If you're connecting to an S3-compliant service, you must enter the name of the bucket here. This is the name of the bucket into which your uploads will be sent. If you're connecting to an FTP service, this setting is optional. When you do specify a folder for FTP uploads, the uploads will go into that folder on the FTP server. If you leave this blank, files will be uploaded into the root directory of the FTP server.
- Login Name - For FTP and other service types that use a login/password combination, your login name should go here. For S3-type services, the Access Key Id should go in this field. If you have S3 credentials, the Access Key Id is generally the shorter of two item.
- Password or Secret Key - For FTP and other service types that use a login/password combination, your login name should go here. For S3-type services, your Secret Key should go here. The Secret Key is the longer of the two S3 credentials.
- Login Extra - This field is not currently used, but it may be used in future for additional storage plugins.

APTrust members who have questions or need help can contact support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The APTrust wiki includes a number of useful pages for members who want to know more about how the repository works. Useful pages include:
- Using APTrust contains useful info about bagging, deposits, how to restore data, and more.
- Partner Tools contains links to additional APTrust command-line tools that can be used in scripted and automated workflows.
- The Member API page includes information about our REST API. Please note that you will need to request an API key from APTrust to get started.
You can find us on GitHub:
Please note that while you can use DART to create DPN bags, you cannot deposit data directly into DPN. Deposits must go through a DPN node such as APTrust, Hathi Trust, Chronopolis, or the Texas Digital Repository.
For more information about DPN, go to http://dpn.org/, or the DPN wiki at The DPN Wiki, but note that some parts of the wiki are out of date.
To customize the built-in DPN BagIt profile, follow the steps outlined above for customizing the APTrust profile, and set default values for each of the following:
- Source-Organization
- Organization-Address
- Contact-Name
- Contact-Phone
- Contact-Email
- Bag-Count (set the default to "1 of 1")
- Ingest-Node-Name
- Ingest-Node-Address
- Ingest-Node-Contact-Name
- Ingest-Node-Contact-Email
- Version-Number (default should be 1)
- Bag-Type (default should be "data")
Version 0.1.9 - Apr. 23, 2018

- Added About to the Help menu.
- Removed obsolete information from this help page.
Version 0.1.8 - Apr. 16, 2018
- DART dashboard now retrieves information from the APTrust respositories (live and demo) so you'll know when your bag was ingested.
- The jobs list no longer lists jobs if whose bage were successfully ingested into APTrust (though those jobs do appear on the dashboard). This is to reduce clutter and to prevent users from unintentionally re-uploading ingested bags to APTrust.
Version 0.1.7 - Apr. 16, 2018
- Feature: Allow user to specify whether to rebuild an existing bag before re-uploading.
- Fixed: Retry failed S3 uploads up to 8 times.

T+0:00 – 250mg of Crack Cocaine is placed in a glass tube with a bend, heat is applied with butane lighter until the rock melts and smoke is produced the smoke is inhaled slowly.
T+0:01 – My teeth, throat, mouth, all go numb, I am noticing feelings of euphoria, an increase in heart rate, and shaky hands. Continue to smoke while talking with my girlfriend.
T+0:02 – The effects are much stronger now, there is almost a tunnel vision where everything focuses in around the pipe, or whatever I am looking at, heart rate is really fast now and blood pressure is defiantly up, feelings of extreme euphoria and sexuality.
T+0:05 – The drug is gone now and I put the glass tube away, this is the peak of the effects, everything feels perfect, extreme euphoria, numbness, definite increase in sex drive and socialization I am happy just talking to my girlfriend about whatever comes into my mind, I find my thoughts drifting towards sex.
T+0:10 – The effects are coming down, there is an powerful desire to do more and I go back to the glass tube a few times with the idea that ‘maybe I missed some’ I was surprised at how immediately addictive this was. I am still physically stimulated and shaky but there is no longer any euphoria.
T+0:30 – Still stimulated, the desire to do more is subsiding, I feel worse than baseline but it is by no means unbearable.
T+1:00 – Baseline.
Aftereffects – I feel fine today, I think the best way to describe my experience was pure euphoria, that’s all it was, just concentrated reward, there was really nothing profound to take away from this experience but it was enjoyable, although I am not sure if I will ever do it again because its potential for addiction scares me.

Given that we are approaching Varnish 3.0, you would think I had this question answered conclusively long time ago, but once you try to be efficient, things get hairy fast.
One of the features of Varnish we are very fundamental about, is the ability to have multiple VCLs loaded at the same time, and to switch between them instantly and seamlessly.
So imagine you have 1000 backends in your VCL, not an unreasonable number, each configured with health-polling.
Now you fiddle your vcl_recv{} a bit and load the VCL again, but since you are not sure which is the best way to do it, you keep both VCL's loaded so you can switch forth and back seamlessly.
To switch seamlessly, the health status of each backend needs to be up to date the instant we switch to the other VCL.
This basically means that either all VCLs poll all their backends, or they must share, somehow.
We can dismiss the all VCLs poll all their backends scenario, because it scales truly horribly, and would pummel backends with probes if people forget to vcl.discard their old dusty VCLs.
Since the health-status will be for each of these triplets, we will need to find a way to represent them in CLI and statistics contexts.
As long as we just print them out, that is not a big deal, but what if you just want the health status for one of your 1000 backends, how do you tell which one ?
The syntax-nazi way of doing that, is forcing people to type it all every time:
backend.health b1(<IP_ADDRESS>:8080,[::1]:8080)
That will surely not be a hit with people who have just one backend.
I think, but until I implement I will not commit to, that the solution is a wildcard-ish scheme, where you can write things like:
b1 # The one and only backend b1 or error
b1() # All backends named b1
b1(<IP_ADDRESS>) # All b1s on IPv4 lookback
b1(:8080) # All b1s on port 8080, (IPv4 or IPv6)
b1(<IP_ADDRESS>,<IP_ADDRESS>) # All b1s on one of those addresses.
(Input very much welcome)
The final question is if we use shortcut notation for output from varnishd, and the answer is no, because we do not want the stats-counters to change name because we load another VCL and suddenly need disabiguation.
To avoid the over-polling, we define that maximum one VCL polls at backend at any time, and the active VCL gets preference. It is not important which particular VCL polls the backends not in the active VCL, as long as one of them do.
The poll-policy can be implemented by updating a back-pointer to the poll-specification for all backends on vcl.use execution.
On vcl.discard, if this vcl was the active poller, it needs to walk the list of vcls and substitute another. If the list is empty the backend gets retired anyway.
We should either park a thread on each backend, or have a poller thread which throws jobs into the work-pool as the backends needs polled.
The pattern matching is confined to CLI and possibly libvarnishapi
I think this will work,
Until next time,

Ayende has a post on how to get developer buy in for advance concepts. What really struck me was this quote:
"A while ago I was asked what I think was a good quality for an architect. My reply was that he should set things up in such a way where the developers are bored.
That may sound... harsh to some, but I believe that we have enough complexity in our applications as it is. A success story is reducing the complexity to such a level that we focus on the business value, rather on the technical difficulties"
After thinking about it a while I realized that this is exactly what I aim for in my projects. I'm trying to maximize the time my developers spend on writing compiled code solving business logic. Practicing Domain Driven Design and TDD using NHibernate, MVC, Windsor, Rhino Mocks etc. tend to keep the developers writing "boring little C# classes" where nested foreach loops are "as complex as it gets".  you know you have a great design!
So how are you going to bore developers without them being bored?
I think the key is to make people understand why it's good to spend so much time writing those little boring classes. And then ease the need for complexity by involving them in the continuous effort to improve and evolve the architecture, design, tooling, processes etc. that enables the team to spend even more time with "boring" things.

Conclusion¶
The game of Craps has given us an opportunity to extend and modify an application with a considerable number of classes and objects. It is large, with a number of complexities, and produces interesting results. Further, as a maintenance and enhancement exercise, it gave us an opportunity to work from a base of software, extending and refining the quality of the design.
We omitted exercises which would integrate this package with the Simulator
class
and collect statistics. This step, while necessary, doesn’t include many
interesting design decisions. The final deliverable should be a working
application that parses command-line parameters, creates the required
objects, and creates an instance of the Simulator
class to collect data.
Refactoring. We note that many design decisions required us to explore and refactor a great deal of the application’s design. In writing this part, we found it very difficult to stick to our purpose of building up the design using realistic steps and realistic problem solving.
Our goal is explicitly not to be a book with a description of an already-completed structure. Exposing a carefully-planned design does not help new designers learn the process of design. It does not help people to identify design problems and correct them. This philosophy is required setting up the situation where the complete refactoring of the design in the Design Cleanup and Refactoring chapter was an important activity. A resilient and adaptable implementation is an important quality measure; it is a skill perfected through extensive practice.
We observe this kind of design rework happening late in the life of a project. Project managers are often uncomfortable evaluating the cost and benefit of significant changes. Further, programmers are unable to express the cost of technical debt increased through a series of less-than-optimal decisions.
Simpler is Better. Perhaps, the most important lesson is the constant search for something we call The Big Simple. We see the history of science as a search for simpler explanations of natural phenomena. The canonical example of this is the distinction between the geocentric model and the heliocentric model of the solar system. Both can be made to work: astronomers carefully built extremely elaborate models of the geocentric heavens and produced accurate predictions of planetary positions. However, the model of planetary motion around the sun describes real phenomena more accurately and has the added benefit of being much simpler than competing models.
To continue this rant, we find that software designers and their managers do not feel the compulsion and do not budget the time to identify the grand simplifications that are possible. In some cases, the result of simplifying the design on one axis will create more classes. Designers lack a handy metric for “understandability”; managers are able to count individual classes, no matter how transparently simple. Designers often face difficulties in defending a design with many simple classes; some people feel that a few complex classes is “simpler” because it has fewer classes.
As our trump card, we reference the metrics for complexity:
McCabe’s Cyclomatic Complexity penalizes if-statements. By reducing the number of if-statements to just those required to create an object of the proper class, we reduce the complexity.
The Halstead metrics penalize programs with many internal operators and operands when compared with few interface operands. Halstead emphasizes simple, transparent classes.
Neither measure penalizes overall size in lines of code, but rather they penalize decision-making and hidden, internal state. A badly designed, complex class has hidden internal states, often buried in nested if-statements. We emphasize small, simple classes with no hidden features and few if-statements.
Our concrete examples of this simplification process are contained in three large design exercises. In Throw Builder Class, we showed a kind of rework necessary to both generalize and isolate the special processing for Craps. In Design Cleanup and Refactoring, we reworked classes to create an easy-to-explain architecture with layers and partitions of responsibility. Finally, in Roll-Counting Player Class, we uncovered a clean separation between game rules and betting strategies.
Looking Forward¶
The next part of the book centers on the game of Blackjack. This game is stateful with a number of more intricate playing rules. We’ll start out with a discussion of the game itself in the next chapter.


Phone +2773-400-4485 Fax +2711-507-5946 ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO. I am MR ALBERT SITHOLI, the Bank Manager of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa {ABSA}. I have urgent and very confidential business proposal for you. An American Gold Consultant/Contractor with the South African Solid Gold Corporation, Mr. Glenn Hatleberg made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million Dollars) in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his contract employers, the South African Solid Gold Corporation that Glenn Hatleberg died in a plane crash in Alaska Airlines Flight #261 (for more information about this crash and person, you can contact this website: http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ Since we got this information about his death on further investigation, I found out that he died without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of Kin was fruitless. I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr. Glenn Hatleberg did not declare any Kin or relations in all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US$20,000,000.00 is still sitting in my Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of each year. No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Republic of South Africa, at the expiration of 6 (SIX) years, the money will revert to the ownership of the South African Government if nobody applies to claim the fund. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr. Glenn Hatleberg so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials. This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you in place as the next of Kin. We shall employ the services of an Attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of Probate/Administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account in any part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of this money to you as the Beneficiary/next of Kin. The money will be paid into your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for you, then 10% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incur during transactions. There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the Attorney and my position as the Branch Manager guarantees the successful execution of this transaction. If you are interested, please reply immediately via the private Fax and Phone numbers below. Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant documents that will help you understand the transaction. Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy communication. And kindly observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall require your assistance to invest my share in your country. My private Phone +27-73-400-4485 or Fax +27-11-507-5946. I wait for your quick response. Kindest regards, ALBERT SITHOLI.


Note: please back up your obsidian vault regularly while using this add-on. As it will write certain information to your vault, I am concerned that it might have the very slight chance of erasing your files.
This is a Anki add-on that would import your files from Obsidian into Anki while preserving the wiki-links. Each file in Obsidianki will be converted to a single note in Anki. It does so by searching through your vault for the file with the name specified and generating an Obsidian url from the path. Note that this only works with Anki 2.1.38+
https://github.com/wxxedu/obsidianki4
This add-on also works with hierarchical tags to convert the hierarchical tags in Obsidian in the metadata section (tags: [tag1/tag1.1/tag1.1.1, tag2/tag2.1/tag2.1.1]
) into anki hierarchical tags. tag1::tag1.1::tag1.1.1
and tag2::tag2.1::tag2.1.1
.
## How to Install
You can install this Add-on by downloading the obsidianki 4.ankiaddon
file from the releases section of GitHub and double click on it.
You can also use the install code below.
## How to Use
Before starting to use, you will have to install Obsidianki's template, without which Obsidianki would not work. You can also download it from Obsidianki's Github Page.
After you've installed the Add-on, you can open Anki, select Tools
-> Obsidianki 4
, as shown in the following picture.
The following menu will pop-up, which will include the default preferences panel.
Copy the path of your Obsidian vault into the first field. Note that you will have to use forward slashes /
instead of backward ones for Obsidianki to function properly.
After you've set the settings (I will explain in the next section), you can click on "Save and Convert", and it will complete the conversion. However, you won't notice a difference. Why? Because Anki's interface is not refreshed. To refresh the interface, you could click on anything in Anki's main interface, and it should be refreshed.
## Default Settings
Now, let's take a look at the default settings.
### Vault Path
This place shows the path to your vault. Note that in order for the wiki-links in Anki to link back to Obsidian, you will have to use a path that is actually a vault. If you just copy the path of a folder in the vault, the link function will not work.
Another thing to take especial note of is that you should use forward slashes instead of backward ones.
### Mode
There are four importing cloze modes in Obsidianki.
#### word
mode
It generates a card for every cloze. If you have 10 clozes, it generates 10 cards from {{c1::Card 1}}
to {{c10::}}
.
#### line
mode
It generates a card for every line. If you have 10 clozes in the first line, they will be {{c1::Card 1}}
to {{c10::Card 10}}
. If you have 2 more clozes in the second line, they will be {{c2::Card 11}}
to {{c2::Card 12}}
.
#### heading
mode (Recommended)
It generates a card for the content under every heading, with the exception of list cards and QA cards (I will explain this below). If you have a file as below:
The "Obsidianki", "Anki" under "Heading 1" will be turned into {{c1::Obsidianki}}
and {{c1::Anki}}
respectively.
Theoretically, everything under "Heading 2" should be turned into {{c2::...}}
cards, right? Not quite, because I have added QA cards and list cards. So, after conversion, the portion under heading to would become:
#### document
mode
In the document mode, everything will be converted to {{c1::...}}
.
### Type
There are two types in Obsidianki 4: cloze
and basic
. Nevertheless, these two types are different from Anki's `cloze` and basic
.
#### cloze
This type will create visible deletions on the screen. You will be able to see [...]
on the screen where you applied cloze.
#### basic
This type will only create one card, and the cloze deletion would not be visible.
### Conversions
#### Bold to Cloze:
This converts the bold syntax **bold**
to cloze in Anki, while preserving the format.
#### Italics to Cloze:
This converts the italics syntax *italics*
to cloze in Anki, while preserving the format.
#### Highlight to Cloze:
This converts the highlight syntax ==highlight==
to cloze in Anki, while preserving the format.
#### Image to Cloze:
This converts the image syntax ![]()
to cloze in Anki, while preserving the image.
#### Quote to Cloze:
This converts the quote syntax > this is a quote
to cloze in Anki, while preserving format.
Be aware that currently, this has conflicts with the other syntaxes. If you want to leave this option on, you will have to make sure that you apply no other cloze formatting in the quote.
#### QA to Cloze:
This converts the QA syntax that I created into cloze in Anki.
#### List to Cloze:
This turns any list into cloze, where each list item is a cloze.
#### Inline Code to Cloze:
This converts the inline code syntax to cloze in Anki, while preserving format.
#### Block Code to Cloze:
This converts the block code syntax to cloze in Anki, while preserving format.
## Individual Settings
You can also individually specify the settings for each note (file) in the metadata section of your file. The metadata section is the following segment in the very beginning of a document.
By the way, Obsidianki will automatically create a metadata section that contains the file's unique id in the file. If you don't want duplicated notes, do not change the uid.
If you want to change the individual importing settings for each file, type it in in the metadata section. You can make this a template in Obsidian:
## Special Note
### About the Development
I will try my best to develop and maintain this add-on. However, as of right now, I am just a high school student who barely knows any programming. All my knowledge of programming come from my AP Computer Science A class LOL.
I know that my code is pretty bad, so feel free to help me update them. (please do so so that I can learn from you!)
### Thanks
I want to thank the creators of Anki and Obsidian for building such beautiful apps. I also want to thank my friend Anis for helping me with the code.


+++ title = "Tindari" lat = 38.145357 lon = 15.040025 +++
Tindari is a teeny village atop a mountainous little peninsula (Capo Tindari), on the north coast of Sicily. The place is famous for its Greek and Roman ruins (called by their original name of Tyndaris), and for its large and much-visited hilltop church. I spent the night camping just down the hill from Tindari, and then I rode up to visit the place the next morning.


Java 7’s Dual Pivot Quicksort
In my master’s thesis I started the analysis of dual-pivot Quicksort. Apart from Yaroslavskiy-Bentley-Bloch partitioning, the method used in the Java library, I analyze in detail also Sedgewick’s dual-pivot partitioning method, and compare both to classic single-pivot Quicksort.
A unique feature of the thesis are primitive instruction counts of low-level implementations of these Quicksort variants. I describe implementations in Java Bytecode and Knuth’s MMIX assembly language.
Relation to Other Publications
I refined the analysis of dual-pivot Quicksort with Yaroslavskiy-Bentley-Bloch partitioning without pivot sampling and including pivot sampling.
Printed Version
If you plan to read a significant portion of the thesis, you might like the print-on-demand version. The preprint is content-wise identical to the printed version and suitable for printing on A5 paper.
Even though the print is nicely done, and my experience with AV Akademikerverlag was not negative, I would like to mention that it is part of is a known predatory publisher corporation. They publish basically everything, at low cost and in the hope that the authors themselves buy a few copies to give as present to friends and family (and yep, they succeeded with me on this…)
I find this form of predatory publisher comparatively harmless: the book is overpriced, but this is transparent for you: buy it or don’t. In contrast to predatory scientific journals with (apparently) faked peer-review, AV Akademikerverlag did not try to suggest to me (or anyone else as far as I know) that a book in their program carries value as a scientific publication.


Core Simulators for Object Event Simulation
This project provides various simulators (or simulation engines) for Object Event Simulation (OES), which is a Discrete Event Simulation paradigm combining object-oriented modeling with the simulation approach of event scheduling.
For simplicity, all of these simulators have a minimalistic user interface. The minimal version of an Object Event Simulator is OES Core 0 with about 220 lines of code (in JavaScript). The simulators OES Core 1-3 incrementally extend OES Core 0 by adding further features.
The code of these simulators is available under a permissive MIT License. It can be used
- as a starting point for building your own Object Event simulators,
- as a reference for developing an OES Core simulator in another programming language.


Fresh start for fire-damaged Bamber Bridge pub
by Catherine MusgroveOne of Lancashire’s most historic pubs is looking forward to a resurgent New Year after a turbulent 12 months.
The Ye Olde Hob Inn in Church Road, Bamber Bridge, was severely damaged by fire in September 2018 and was closed for almost a year while repairs took place.
ow with brother and sister team Matthew and Sarah Locke at the helm, there are plans to fully refurbish the 400-year-year-old pub.
A planning application has been made to South Ribble Borough Council to “create an improved and more workable kitchen area”.
Alterations, including removing a kitchen wall are proposed “to enable the impressive historic building to compete effectively in the market, maintain employment, but importantly provide improved dining facility (sic) for locals and visitors to the area.”
The work would be limited to a non-historic area at the rear of the main building.
A spokesman for Star Pubs and Bars which owns the pub, said: “Ye Olde Hob Inn has been fully repaired following the fire in September 2018.
“New licensees brother and sister team Matthew and Sarah Locke reopened the pub at the end of August.
“They are providing the community with a great local once again and have introduced a fantastic menu of freshly prepared pub food. We are hoping to undertake a complete refurbishment of the pub in the New Year.”
At least 30 firefighters tackled the fire at the listed building for almost three hours to get the flames under control, using specialist l “fog spikes” to punch holes in the thatch and inject a mist.

simplexml_load_string
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
simplexml_load_string — Interprets a string of XML into an object
说明
SimpleXMLElement simplexml_load_string ( string $data [, string $class_name =
"SimpleXMLElement" [, int $options = 0 [, string $ns = "" [, bool $is_prefix =
false ]]]] )
Takes a well-formed XML string and returns it as an object.
参数
data
A well-formed XML string
class_name
You may use this optional parameter so that simplexml_load_string() will
return an object of the specified class. That class should extend the
SimpleXMLElement class.
options
Since PHP 5.1.0 and Libxml 2.6.0, you may also use the options parameter to
specify additional Libxml parameters.
ns
Namespace prefix or URI.
is_prefix
TRUE if ns is a prefix, FALSE if it's a URI; defaults to FALSE.
返回值
Returns an object of class SimpleXMLElement with properties containing the data
held within the xml document, 或者在失败时返回 FALSE.
Warning
此函数可能返回布尔值 FALSE，但也可能返回等同于 FALSE 的非布尔值。请阅读布尔类型
章节以获取更多信息。应使用 === 运算符来测试此函数的返回值。
错误／异常
Produces an E_WARNING error message for each error found in the XML data.
Tip
Use libxml_use_internal_errors() to suppress all XML errors, and
libxml_get_errors() to iterate over them afterwards.
范例
Example #1 Interpret an XML string
Forty What?
Joe
Jane
I know that's the answer -- but what's the question?
XML;
$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
print_r($xml);
?>
以上例程会输出：
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[title] => Forty What?
[from] => Joe
[to] => Jane
[body] =>
I know that's the answer -- but what's the question?
)
At this point, you can go about using $xml->body and such.

===============================================================================
There seems to be a lot of talk about SimpleXML having a "problem" with CDATA,
and writing functions to rip it out, etc. I thought so too, at first, but it's
actually behaving just fine under PHP 5.2.6
The key is noted above example #6 here:
http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/simplexml.examples.php
"To compare an element or attribute with a string or pass it into a function
that requires a string, you must cast it to a string using (string). Otherwise,
PHP treats the element as an object."
If a tag contains CDATA, SimpleXML remembers that fact, by representing it
separately from the string content of the element. So some functions, including
print_r(), might not show what you expect. But if you explicitly cast to a
string, you get the whole content.
Text1 & XML entities');
print_r($xml);
/*
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[0] => Text1 & XML entities
)
*/
$xml2 = simplexml_load_string('');
print_r($xml2);
/*
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
)
*/
// Where's my CDATA?
// Let's try explicit casts
print_r( (string)$xml );
print_r( (string)$xml2 );
/*
Text1 & XML entities
Text2 & raw data
*/
// Much better
?>
===============================================================================
I had a hard time finding this documented, so posting it here in case it helps
someone:
If you want to use multiple libxml options, separate them with a pipe, like so:
===============================================================================
A simpler way to transform the result into an array (requires json module).
Example:
===============================================================================
Wrapper XMLReader class, for simple SAX-reading huge xml:
https://github.com/dkrnl/SimpleXMLReader
Usage example: http://github.com/dkrnl/SimpleXMLReader/blob/master/examples/
example1.php
===============================================================================
$value )
{
$value = ( array ) $value ;
$newArray [ $key] = $value [ 0 ] ;
}
$newArray = array_map("trim", $newArray);
return $newArray ;
}
?>
===============================================================================
Please note that not all LIBXML options are supported with the options
argument.
For instance LIBXML_XINCLUDE does not work. But there is however a work around:
loadXML ($XMLString);
$xml->xinclude();
$xml = simplexml_import_dom($xml);
?>
===============================================================================
Here is my simple SimpleXML wrapper function.
As far as I can tell, it does the same as Julio Cesar Oliveira's (above).
It parses an XML string into a multi-dimensional associative array.

Here is my simple listing routine as an example:
children()) {
echo "
";
list_node($element);
}
}
}
?>
===============================================================================
It's worth noting that in the example above, $xml->body will actually return an
object of type SimpleXMLElement, not a string, e.g.
SimpleXMLElement Object (
[0] => this is the text in the body tag
)
If you want to get a string out of it you must explicitly cast it using
(string) or double quotes, or pass $xml->body (or whatever attribute you want
to access) to any function that returns a string, such as urldecode() or trim
().
===============================================================================
As was said before don't use var_dump() or print_r() to see SimpleXML object
structure as they do not returns always what you expect.
Consider the following:
';
// load xml into SimpleXML object
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_txt, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);//
LIBXML_NOCDATA LIBXML_NOWARNING
// see object structure
print_r($xml);
/* this prints
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[folder] => Array
(
[0] => aaaa
[1] => bbbb
)
)
*/
// but...
foreach ($xml->folder as $value){
print_r($value);
}
/* prints complete structure of each folder element:
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[@attributes] => Array
(
[ID] => 65
[active] => 1
[permission] => 1
)
[0] => aaaa
)
SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[@attributes] => Array
(
[ID] => 65
[active] => 1
[permission] => 1
)
[0] => bbbb
)
*/
?>
===============================================================================
A simple extension that adds a method for retrieving a specific attribute:
Attributes() as $key=>$val)
{
if($key == $name)
return (string)$val;
}
}
}
$xml = simplexml_load_string('
Rover
', 'simple_xml_extended');
echo $xml->dog->Attribute('type');
?>
outputs 'poodle'
I prefer to use this technique rather than typecasting attributes.
===============================================================================
The XML2Array func now Recursive!
$value )
{
$value = ( array ) $value ;
if ( isset ( $value [ 0 ] ) )
{
$newArray [ $key ] = trim ( $value [ 0 ] ) ;
}
else
{
$newArray [ $key ] = XML2Array ( $value , true ) ;
}
}
return $newArray ;
}
?>
===============================================================================
A looked through a lot of the sample code for reading XML files with CDATA, but
they didn't work out that well for me. However, I found that the following
piece of code worked perfectly for reading through a file using lots of CDATA.
/', 'filter_xml',
$article_string);
$article_xml = simplexml_load_string($article_string);
function filter_xml($matches) {
return trim(htmlspecialchars($matches[1]));
}
?>
===============================================================================
Be careful checking for parse errors. An empty SimpleXMLElement may resolve to
FALSE, and if your XML contains no text or only contains namespaced elements
your error check may be wrong. Always use `=== FALSE` when checking for parse
errors.
There's stuff here
XML;
$simplexml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
// This prints "Parse Error".
echo ($simplexml ? 'Valid XML' : 'Parse Error'), PHP_EOL;
// But this prints "There's stuff here", proving that
// the SimpleXML object was created successfully.
echo $simplexml->children('http://example.com/custom')->Node, PHP_EOL;
// Use this instead:
echo ($simplexml !== FALSE ? 'Valid XML' : 'Parse Error'), PHP_EOL;
?>

I wanted to convert an array containing strings and other arrays of the same
type into a simplexml object.
Here is the code of the function array2xml that I've developed to perform this
conversion. Please note that this code is simple without any checks.
$value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$xml.="<$key>".ia2xml($value)."$key>";
} else {
$xml.="<$key>".$value."$key>";
}
}
return $xml;
}
return simplexml_load_string("<$tag>".ia2xml($array)."$tag>");
}
$test['type']='lunch';
$test['time']='12:30';
$test['menu']=array('entree'=>'salad', 'maincourse'=>'steak');
echo array2xml($test,"meal")->asXML();
?>
===============================================================================
A small 'n nice function to extract an XML and return it as an array. If there
is a bug, please let me know here. I testet it for my purposes and it works.
children())) {
return (string) $xml;
}
foreach ($xml->children() as $child) {
$name=$child->getName();
if (count($xml->$name)==1) {
$element[$name] = $this->extractXML($child);
} else {
$element[][$name] = $this->extractXML($child);
}
}
return $element;
}
// you can call it this way
$xml = false;
$xml = @simplexml_load_string($xmlstring);
// 1)
if ($xml) {
$array = extractXML($xml);
} else {
$array = false;
}
// 2)
if ($xml) {
$array[$xml->getName()] = extractXML($xml);
} else {
$array = false;
}
?>
===============================================================================
It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but you can refer to an element
"value" for the purpose of changing it like so:
1');
echo $xml->asXml(). "\n\n";
$xml->number->{0} = $xml->number->{0} + 1;
echo $xml->asXml();
?>
echos:
1
2
However, this only works with a direct assignment, not with any of the other
operators:
1');
echo $xml->asXml(). "\n\n";
$xml->number->{0} += 1;
// Or:
$xml->number->{0}++;
echo $xml->asXml();
?>
Both of the above cases would result in:
1
1<0/>
===============================================================================
Attention:
simplexml_load_string has a problem with entities other than (<, >, &
amp;, " and ').
Use numeric character references instead!
===============================================================================
Warning:
The parsing of XML-data will stop when reaching character 0.
Please avoid this character in your XML-data.
===============================================================================
If you have PHP > 5.1 and LibXML > 2.6, use this function call to have
simplexml convert CDATA into plain text.
simplexml_load_string($xmlstring, 'SimpleXMLElement', LIBXML_NOCDATA);
Too bad, so sad with PHP < 5.1.
===============================================================================
after wondering around some time, i just realized something (maybe obvious, not
very much for me). Hope helps someone to not waste time as i did :-P
when you have something like:
2328
XML;
?>
you will have the simpleXML object "transformed" to the text() content:
===============================================================================
A simple way to merge two SimpleXML objects.
loadXML($xml1->asXML());
$dom2->loadXML($xml2->asXML());
// pull all child elements of second XML
$xpath = new domXPath($dom2);
$xpathQuery = $xpath->query('/*/*');
for ($i = 0; $i < $xpathQuery->length; $i++)
{
// and pump them into first one
$dom1->documentElement->appendChild(
$dom1->importNode($xpathQuery->item($i), true));
}
$xml1 = simplexml_import_dom($dom1);
}
$xml1 = simplexml_load_string('child 1');
$xml2 = simplexml_load_string('child 2');
simplexml_merge($xml1, $xml2);
echo($xml1->asXml());
?>
Will output:
child 1
child 2
===============================================================================
A reminder that json_encode attempts to convert data to UTF-8 without specific
knowledge of the source encoding. This method can cause encoding issues if
you're not working in UTF-8.
===============================================================================
Use libxml_disable_entity_loader() to restrict loading of external files. See
http://www.idontplaydarts.com/2011/02/
scanning-the-internal-network-using-simplexml/
===============================================================================
If you want to serialize and unserialize SimpleXMLElement objects for caching,
you need to transform the SimpleXMLElement object into a standard class object
before unserializing.
This is only if you want to cache converted data, the functionallity of the
SimpleXMLElement will not be held.
$content = '
===============================================================================
Theres a problem with the below workaround when serializing fields containing
html CDATA. For any other content type then HTML try to modfiy function

Be careful using nested SimpleXML objects in double quoted strings.

echo "Bar is: {$root->foo->bar}"; // Works: Bar is 456

===============================================================================
simplexml provides a neat way to do 'ini' files. Preferences for any number of
users can be held in a single XML file having elements for each user name with
user specific preferences as attributes of child elements. The separate
's could of course be combined as multiple attributes of a single
element but this could get unwieldy.
In the sample code below the makeXML() function uses the simplexml_load_string
function to generate some XML to play with and the readPrefs() function parses
the requested users preferences into an array.
XML;
return simplexml_load_string($xmlString);
}
function readPrefs($user, $xml) {
foreach($xml->$user as $arr);
$n = count($arr);
for($i=0;$i<$n;$i++) {
foreach($xml->$user->pref[$i]->attributes() as $a=>$b) {
$prefs[$a] = (string)$b;
}
}
print_r($prefs);
}
readPrefs('johndoe', makeXML());
?>
===============================================================================
If you want to set the charset of the outputed xml, simply set the encoding
attribute like this :
'); ?>
The generated xml outputed by $xml->asXML will containt accentuated characters
like 'é' instead of é.

While needing to add an xml subtree to an existing simplexml object, I noticed
that simplexml_load_string fails with strings like
I needed to use dom instead of simplexml to bypass this problem and work with
any kind of xml strings.
===============================================================================
"simplexml_load_string() : Entity: line #: parser error : Comment not
terminated"
On the off chance you see this error and you're pulling your hair out over it,
simplexml can't seem to correctly parse XML comment tags if the comment
contains "--".
Is silly and likely won't happen very often -- but sometimes it does. ;-)
===============================================================================
please note that:
$data_array = (array) simplexml_load_string($xml_string);
?>
will only convert the root element to an array, where as the child elements
remain XML objects.
To prove this, try returning a value N objects deep by association. Then try
the same exercise using something like the object2array example below. (Which
works great).
===============================================================================
Simplexml's simplicity can be deceptive. Simplexml elements behave either as
objects or strings, depending on the context in which they're used (through
overloading of the __toString() method, I assume). Statements implying
conversion to string treat them as strings, while assignment operations treat
them as objects. This can lead to unexpected behavior if, for example, you are
trying to compare the values of two Simplexml elements. The expected syntax
will not work. To force conversion to strings, just "typecast' whatever
Simplexml element you're using. For example:
43 43');
// Evaluates to false by comparing object IDs instead of strings
($s->foo == $s->bar);
// Evaluates to true
((string)$s->foo == (string)$s->bar);
?>
[Ed. Note: Changed from quotes to casts because casts provide a quicker and
more explicit conversion than do double quotes.]
===============================================================================
simplexml doesn't appear to like long attributes. I have tried passing it a
valid xhtml document but the url in the anchor tag was causing simplexml to
generate an error.
===============================================================================
While you can't add new elements to a SimpleXML object you can however add new
attributes

$xml = simplexml_load_string($string);
$xml->test1['sub'] = 'No';
echo $xml->asXML();

What does this package do? (explain in 50 words or less): Transform Ecological Metadata Language (EML) files into JSON-LD and back into EML. Doing so creates a natural list-based representation of EML in R, so that EML data can easily be manipulated using standard R tools. This makes this package an effective backend for other tools for working with EML. Additioally, the JSON-LD representation enables the use of developer-friendly JSON parsing and informatics-friendly serializations such as RDF and SPARQL queries. This package is targeted primarily at developers. By abstracting away the complexity of EML’s XML Schema, developers can build against intuitive list or JSON objects and not have to worry about satisfying many of the additional constraints of set by the schema (such as element ordering, which is handled automatically).
In practice, `emld` will basically be the backend machinery for a new release of the `EML`
package, which will retain largely the same user-facing API, with several improvements.
But both in terms of ease of reviewing and ease of package maintenance, I think it's important
to have these as separate packages.

Pyramids. The distinct shape, clean vertices, and inherent coolness have fascinated humanity since the Egyptians. Some sci-fi writers like to stick modern or futuristic-looking pyramids into their works to combine old and new in a distinctive yet recognisable manner. The result is the future pyramid, a building in the style of ancient Egypt but using modern or yet-to-be-invented materials and construction methods. The primary reason for these is that they look impressive.
A pyramid is a good shape for a space-frame building, if you've got enough room for a wide building. But how many of the examples use that as justification?
Compare Sinister Geometry.
Examples:
- Mega-Tokyo of Bubblegum Crisis. The Genom Tower in particular is more of a cone, but it still has the spirit of this trope.
- Digimon Adventure: A literal Inverted Trope, Etemon's base is an upside-down pyramid, which connects to an underground octahedron (think two pyramids connected at their bases).
- The NERV HQ in Neon Genesis Evangelion is a pyramid. There's also a pit shaped like an inverted pyramid located in front of it.
- A popular feature of Gradosian architecture in Blue Comet SPT Layzner.
- Feature prominently in the Colus/Hagooda War arc in The Five Star Stories as both factions have palaces resembling them, Hagooda's being Egyptian-styled while Colus' is a slightly more abstract combination of a Mayan one, a Japanese pagoda and futuristic arcology concept design.
- In Pokémon, Battle Frontier trainer Brandon travels in a flying pyramid.
- The Yu-Gi-Oh! cards "Level Limit - Area B" and "Level Limit - Area A" both have big pyramids in the background.
- The Amonkhet set in Magic: The Gathering has metallic, floating pyramids.
- In Enki Bilal's La Foire aux Immortels (and the movie Immortal inspired from it), the Egyptian gods live in a pyramid that is also a cool spaceship. And it's going to destroy Paris (New York in the movie) unless they get fuel.
- Microwave Mountain in Rogue Trooper, originally a giant solar power plant, now a Nort stronghold. Shaped like a pyramid, for no real reason.
- Apocalypse of X-Men is fond of pyramid motifs, which makes sense as he was born in Egypt a few thousand years ago.
- Given that the main setting of Cleopatra in Space is the Nile Galaxy which takes a lot of visual clues from ancient Egypt, plenty of these feature in the series, such as Yasiro Academy.
- Luxor in the Judge Dredd universe is a pyramid-shaped Mega City.
- Wonder Woman (1942): Osira creates multiple pyramid shapes out of energy shields, which she uses to protect herself, fly around in and imprison superheroes.
- Ra's ship in the original Stargate movie. The film showed that Ra already had a pyramid ship when he first came to Earth. This indicates that they already had the Ha'tak design before they forced humans to build pyramids to land on them.
- Tyrell Corporation headquarters from Blade Runner, although it's strictly speaking more of a ziggurat. It has become the headquarters of Wallace Corporation in Blade Runner 2049.
- In X-Men: Apocalypse, En Sabah Nur raises a titanic, intricate stone-and-metal pyramid as his new base of operations by telekinetically disintegrating and recycling the entire city of Cairo.
- Two can be seen in the post-apocalyptic London in the alternate ending to Army of Darkness.
- The Council from Kung Pow! Enter the Fist have a fleet of pyramid-shaped spaceships.
- The Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Parallel 59 features a futuristic Uncanny Village where a great deal of the buildings are pyramids. Apart from the protagonist, who's from lightyears and centuries away and is constantly reminded of ancient Egypt, everybody is used to them.
[...]the pyramids rising over the skyline. Like a nice clean Egypt. Mystery. Power.
The girl yawns, it makes me smile. The pyramids are here to reassure, not to inspire. To the Homeplaneters, they're mundane, just the way dwellings are built. None of the resonances or associations they have for me are flitting through her mind, I can tell. - In Ramsay Campbell's Cthulhu Mythos stories, the Insects from Shaggai build pyramidal temples to Azathoth that can teleport between planets.
- Patrick Tilley's novel Fade-Out. When an alien ship lands on Earth, it starts to grow a gigantic pyramid which eventually shuts down human technology.
- The Great (and Lesser) Redoubts in The Night Land, enormous pyramids (the Great is over seven miles high, slightly taller than Everest) of seemingly indestructible metal that are humanity's last home on an Earth that has become a hostile monster-ridden wasteland.
- In Lois McMaster Bujold's Cryoburn, one of the largest cryogenic companies on the planet Kibou-daini is NewEgypt. Their cryo-storage facilities (where they keep the frozen bodies of people who were hoping to be revived, when there's a cure for whatever was killing them) are all in pyramid shaped buildings, and all their corporate branding follows an Egyptian theme. They've trademarked the entire historical era, to block imitators.
- The Tyrell Corp HQ is one of the default building options in OASIS, in Ready Player One. Because of that, copies of it are all over the place. And they all can house the Second Gate.
- The Four Ministries of Oceania from Nineteen Eighty Four were set up much like this.
- In The Fifth Season, the capitol of the Sanze Empire is the Black Star, a colossal obsidian star pyramid where the leadership of Yumenes operates, topped with a geodesic sphere of amber where the figurehead Emperor lives.
- Battlestar Galactica:
- Battlestar Galactica (1978), episode "Lost Planet of the Gods" part 2. The planet Kobol has pyramids, the remains of an ancient civilization. Caprica also had pyramidal buildings.
- Battlestar Galactica (2003) has Gemenon, which had mostly pyramidal buildings.
- Chouriki Sentai Ohranger/Power Rangers Zeo: The massive carrier Zord King Pyramidder / Pyramidas. It shoots lightning, transforms into a huge robot, and combines with the rest of the team's mecha.
- In Choujin Sentai Jetman, the Jetmen's base, the Sky Camp, is a smaller one which houses most of the mecha inside it (the Bird Garuda is perched atop it instead).
- Stargate SG-1 extends this to the Goa'uld as a whole: they may be impersonating a Greek, Babylonian or even Japanese deity but the snake will still use pyramid-shaped spaceships, space stations, evil lairs... Except for Anubis (or Ba'al in Stargate Continuum), whose flagship is dome-shaped and can alter its configuration to fire its Wave-Motion Gun.
- Sliders had an Alternate Universe where Ancient Egyptian culture survived to the modern day, complete with computerized pyramids guarded by genetically engineered giant scarabs.
- Traveller Classic.
- Necron monoliths in Warhammer 40,000.
- Although pyramids in 40k are mainly associated with Necrons, they also appear in some Eldar artwork (for example the 5th edition rulebook's picture of the inside of a Craftworld has a few pyramidal structures).
- Also Prospero, the now-destroyed homeworld of the Thousand Sons legion of Space Marines, was host to a futuristic Egyptian style of architecture, with many hi-tech pyramid buildings (especially in the world's capital, Tizca). Given the overtly Egyptian stylings of the Thousand Sons themselves, this is not a surprise.
- The Renraku Arcology from Shadowrun, although Depending on the Writer and/or Artist, it can be depicted as a futuristic ziggurat instead. Similarly, Aztechnology is fond of making all their buildings into ziggurats as part of their Modern Mayincatec Empire schtick.
- In Over the Edge, Mad architect Jean-Claude D'Aubainne built the Al-Amarja airport building in the shape of a cone ... balanced on its point. It's the first sight immigrants see, so it has to be one of the most intimidating buildings on the island. It's also a total con. The elevators operate in reverse, and the actual building is underground. The pyramid is an empty shell.
- Journey into Imagination at Epcot is located inside of two giant glass pyramids.
- Terminator 2 3-D: Battle Across Time: The SkyNet core is shaped like one.
- StarCraft:
- The main Protoss building, the Nexus, is a pyramid, as are many of the types of Xel'naga Temple seen throughout the series.
- Arcturus Mengsk's imperial palace, as seen in his inauguration in StarCraft and throughout Heart of the Swarm, is a giant pyramid, which stands out very distinctly against Augustgrad's mostly traditional skyline.
- During Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, NOD was in love with this trope, having their major headquarters within pyramids. By Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, Nod largely went back to their original awesome base, but they did deploy their Epic Unit from a pyramid-shape structure.
- Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle has four levels (one of them secret) that take place inside a pyramid. Whether they're new pyramids, or ancient pyramids improved with some modern technology (laser turrets, doors etc.) remains unknown.
- Some Prothean remains in Mass Effect.
- Star Fox 64's planet Katina has a pyramid as its main and only building. Assault changes it to a futuristic tower but keeps some vaguely pyramidesque aspects.
- The Imperial Palace in Starsiege is one of these. Bonus points for being located in what used to be Egypt.
- Mental Institution level of Serious Sam II is a large futuristic pyramid on treads and plenty of weapons and reinforcements.
- In Unreal Tournament 2003, the Anubans (or Nakhti, as they are called later), who are basically space Egyptians, are fond of these. One of the most prominent Futuristic Pyramids can be found in the map "CTF-Face3".
- The city of Adrianopolis (and possibly others in the World Union) in Culpa Innata features a gleaming pyramid at the center, which has clubs, restaurants, bars, stores, etc.
- Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards: The final stage set on Rock Star is mostly inside a large space ship shaped like a cube, but it starts out half-buried in the sand like a pyramid.
- The earliest examples are in the 2D shooter Xevious.
- The Tomb of VARN in Might and Magic VI is (at least part of) a long-landed and abandoned spacecraft. It must have been immensely tough, considering it not only survived the long voyage through the void, but also the event that, centuries after the landing, turned the fertile landing zone into a blasted desert. In a minor twist, you have to go deep into the pyramid before any actually futuristic elements are seen (well, visibly futuristic. The jackalheaded guards are probably robots, but they don't look the part).
- Enslaved: Odyssey to the West has one at the end: Pyramid's base.
- The ship Mizar uses to arrive his home palace in Jet Force Gemini has the shape of a big pyramid.
- The city of Tokyo Millennium uses plenty of pyramids as part of its architecture in Shin Megami Tensei II.
- One of the levels in Data East's Atomic Runner Chelnov features in the background a cyborg Sphinx and moving pyramids gliding over the sand dunes.
 It also features healing gardens, though few are desperate enough to make the pilgrimage.
- The first episode of Futurama shows that by the year 3000, at least one of Egypt's pyramids will hover.
- The Triceratons of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012) ships all resemble angular pryamids.
- A very elongated example is the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco.
- I. M. Pei's glass pyramid at the Louvre was an attempt to invoke this.
- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum started out as a glass pyramid, and then was expanded upon.
- From the point of view of, say, Christopher Wren, the Eiffel Tower would be a good example of this: a tall pointy building made of yet-to-be-discovered materials and construction techniques.
- The Luxor casino in Las Vegas also invokes this trope, with a glass pyramid-shaped main building and general Ancient Egypt theme (although David Foster Wallace preferred to compare it to a "ziggurat from Babylon of yore").
- The Ryugyong Hotel in North Korea masterfully combines this with Compensating for Something.
- The Memphis Pyramid in Memphis...Tennessee. The southern third or so of Illinois is known as Little Egypt, centered around Cairo (pronounced "KAIR-oh") which sits at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, an area with rich soil and old Mississippi culture mounds resembling the pyramids of Ancient Egypt so American settlers began naming places here and further south (including the city in Tennessee) after Egyptian locations. Originally built to host basketball games, it fell into disuse before being converted into a Bass Pro Shops in 2015.
- A leisure centre in Milton Keynes, named with great originality "The Point", evoked this look at night with the aid of neon lighting strips; by day it looked more like a ziggurat made of mirrors. Worse Than It Sounds, unfortunately: behold.◊

- Ramses: Il risveglio, an attraction in the Italian Gardaland theme park.
- The Shimizu TRY-2004 Mega-City is a concept for a two-kilometer tall pyramid Arcology with dozens of skyscrapers suspended in an octahedral grid of trusses. The design relies on carbon-nanotube Unobtainium that hasn't been invented yet, so it remains entirely speculative.

Ethiopia’s Sidama People Vote To Create Regional State
by Associated Press Television NewsRest of the World News
Ethiopian authorities say the Sidama people in the south have voted overwhelmingly in favor of regional statehood
Written By Associated Press Television News | Mumbai | Updated On: November 23, 2019 23:51 IST
Ethiopian authorities say the Sidama people in the south have voted overwhelmingly in favor of regional statehood. The vote could inspire others and cause further fragmentation of ethnic groups in Africa’s second-most populous country while it's Nobel Peace Prize-winning leader urges national unity.
Sidama people voted to create regional state
The National Election Board on Saturday said 98.5% of people voted for regional statehood while just 1.48% voted to remain within the Southern regional state. Official results show voter turnout was 99.8%. The Sidama make up about 4% of Ethiopia’s population. A consortium of civil society organizations described Wednesday’s referendum as peaceful, but it alleged some polling stations weren’t transparent. Some voters told The Associated Press those in the “remain” camp were intimidated. They spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear for their safety.

Local lady Diane Green, 73, was walking her dogs along Norwich Avenue in Whitleigh when her shih tzu was allegedly stolen on Saturday, November 16.
Mrs Green told Plymouth Live: "Somebody took her. I was walking along the pavement with my other dog - and she, my shih tzu, was walking behind me," but when Mrs Green turned around, her dog was 'gone'.
Mrs Green believes her dog, named Kizzy, has been stolen, but didn't see anybody abduct her.
Mrs Green is heartbroken and is offering a reward for the safe return of the stolen dog.
Mrs Green told Plymouth Live: "Somebody's taken her, I was walking along the pavement with my other dog - and she, my shih tzu, was walking behind me."
Mrs Green's daughter-in-law, Vicky Green added: "When she turned around, she [Kizzy the dog] was gone."
Kizzy the dog 'never ever runs away from me,' says Mrs Green, and 'always stays behind me and always keeps her eye on me'.
 If I had left her there, she would be able to get home, [she hasn't] so somebody's taken her."
The incident is thought to have happened at 3.30pm on Saturday, November 16 at Norwich Avenue in Whitleigh.

Kizzy also has a 'large lump on her side' and wears a pink collar with no tag, Mrs Green says. Kizzy is also chipped.
Mrs Green says she's having panic attacks from the stress of her missing dog.

Hey, I'm Macz!
Currently, I'm a Customer Success Manager at Skilljar, a local startup that is transforming the way enterprises onboard, engage, and retain their customers through customer education.
I'm eager to explore the ways that tech, customer experience, and service design interact as I learn more about web development.

-Dtds.content.root.path=/opt/tomcat-home/content/For example, your {tomcat}/bin/setenv.sh might look like:
#!/bin/sh # ulimit -n 2048 # CATALINA_HOME="/opt/tomcat-home" export CATALINA_HOME CATALINA_BASE="/opt/tomcat-home" export CATALINA_BASE JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk" export JAVA_HOME # CONTENT_ROOT="-Dtds.content.root.path=/data/thredds/tds-dev/content" NORMAL="-d64 -Xmx4090m -Xms512m -server" MAX_PERM_GEN="-XX:MaxPermSize=256m" HEADLESS="-Djava.awt.headless=true" JAVA_PREFS_SYSTEM_ROOT="-Djava.util.prefs.systemRoot=$CATALINA_BASE/content/thredds/javaUtilPrefs -Djava.util.prefs.userRoot=$CATALINA_BASE/content/thredds/javaUtilPrefs" # JAVA_OPTS="$CONTENT_ROOT $NORMAL $MAX_PERM_GEN $HEADLESS $JAVA_PREFS_SYSTEM_ROOT" export JAVA_OPTS
Troubleshooting:
Don't leave a space after the =
CONTENT_ROOT="-Dtds.content.root.path=/data/thredds/tds-dev/content" not CONTENT_ROOT= "-Dtds.content.root.path=/data/thredds/tds-dev/content"
If the content root is not correctly set, you will see a message like: "SEVERE: Error listenerStart" in {tomcat}/logs/catalina.out and "Error creating bean with name 'tdsContext'", and "Content directory not a directory" in {$tomcat}/logs/localhost.log.
We recommend that you use an absolute path, like /opt/tomcat/content, instead of a relative path like "../content".
Note that your catalogs are under ${tomcat}/content/thredds but tds.content.root.path does not include the thredds subdirectory.
See JIRA issues log
The catalog processing classes in thredds.catalog2 package have been replaced by thredds.client.catalog everywhere in client code. If you are using thredds.catalog2 in your code, please switch to thredds.client.catalog, as it is takes less memory and is better performant. The old classes are deprecated but still available, but in future versions they will be moved to legacy.jar, which you will need to seperately include in your classpath if needed.
If you are upgrading from 4.3, you may find the 4.3 to 4.5 upgrade document helpful.
