This describes the sysv_ipc module which gives Python access to System V inter-process semaphores, shared memory and message queues on most (all?) *nix flavors. Examples include OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris 2008.11, and (maybe) AIX. It might also work under Windows with a library like Cygwin.
It works with Python 2.7 and 3.x. It's released under a BSD license.
You can download sysv_ipc version 0.7.0 ([md5 sum], [sha1 sum], [sha256 sum]) which contains the source code, setup.py, installation instructions and sample code. You can read about all of the changes in this version.
You might also want to read about some known bugs.
You might be interested in the very similar module posix_ipc which provides Python access to POSIX IPC primitives. POSIX IPC is a little easier to use than SysV IPC, but not all operating systems support it completely.
Jump to semaphores, shared memory, or message queues.
This method is useful only under fairly unusual circumstances. You probably don't need it.
When passed to an IPC object's constructor, IPC_CREAT indicates that you want to create a new object or open an existing one. If you want the call to fail if an object with that key already exists, specify the IPC_EXCL flag, too.
Keys randomly generated by this module are in the range 1 ≤ key ≤ SHRT_MAX. That's type-safe unless your OS has a very bizarre definition of key_t.
In addition to standard Python errors (e.g. ValueError), this module raises custom errors. These errors cover situations specific to IPC.
This is a handle to a semaphore.
key must be None, IPC_PRIVATE or an integer > KEY_MIN and ≤ KEY_MAX. If the key is None, the module chooses a random unused key.
The flags specify whether you want to create a new semaphore or open an existing one.
When opening an existing semaphore, mode is ignored.
The timeout (which can be a float) specifies how many seconds this call should wait, if at all.
The semantics of the timeout changed a little in version 0.3.
When the call returns, the semaphore's value decreases by delta (or more precisely, abs(delta)) which defaults to 1.
On platforms that don't support the semtimedop() API call, all timeouts (including zero) are treated as infinite. The call will not return until its wait condition is satisfied.
Most platforms provide semtimedop(). OS X is a notable exception. The module's Boolean constant SEMAPHORE_TIMEOUT_SUPPORTED is True on platforms that support semtimedop().
The semaphore's value increases by delta (or more precisely, abs(delta)) which defaults to 1.
"P" stands for prolaag or probeer te verlagen (try to decrease), the original name given by Edsger Dijkstra.
"V" stands for verhoog (increase), the original name given by Edsger Dijkstra.
Timeout has the same meaning as described in .acquire().
As far as I can tell, the effect of deleting a semaphore that other processes are still using is OS-dependent. Check your system's man pages for semctl(IPC_RMID).
When True, operations that change the semaphore's value will be undone (reversed) when the process exits. Note that when a process exits, an undo operation may imply that a semaphore's value should become negative or exceed its maximum. Behavior in this case is system-dependent, which means that using this flag can make your code non-portable.
When False, these calls will not block but will instead raise an error if they are unable to return immediately.
Tip: the following Python code will display
the mode in octal:
print int(str(my_sem.mode), 8)
Linux and OS X also set this when the semaphore's value is changed, although doing so disagrees with the POSIX specification. See Linux kernel bug 112271.
These semaphores provide __enter__() and __exit__() methods so they can be used in context managers. For instance --
with sysv_ipc.Semaphore(name) as sem: # Do something...
Entering the context acquires the semaphore, exiting the context releases the semaphore. See demo4/child.py for a complete example.
This is a handle to a shared memory segment.
key must be None, IPC_PRIVATE or an integer > 0 and ≤ KEY_MAX. If the key is None, the module chooses a random unused key.
The flags specify whether you want to create a new shared memory segment or open an existing one.
When both IPC_CREX is specified and the caller has write permission, each byte in the new memory segment will be initialized to the value of init_character.
The value of size depends on whether one is opening an existing segment or creating a new one.
This module supplies a default size of PAGE_SIZE when IPC_CREX is specified and 0 otherwise.
The address parameter allows one to specify (as a Python long) a memory address at which to attach the segment. Passing None (the default) is equivalent to passing NULL to shmat(). See that function's man page for details.
The flags are mostly only relevant if one specifies a specific address. One exception is the flag SHM_RDONLY which, surprisingly, attaches the segment read-only.
Note that on some (and perhaps all) platforms, each call to .attach() increments the system's "attached" count. Thus, if each call to .attach() isn't paired with a call to .detach(), the system's "attached" count for the shared memory segment will not go to zero when the process exits. As a result, the shared memory segment may not disappear even when its creator calls .remove() and exits.
If byte_count is zero (the default) the entire buffer is returned.
This method will never attempt to read past the end of the shared memory segment, even when offset + byte_count exceeds the memory segment's size. In that case, the bytes from offset to the end of the segment are returned.
If the offset + data would write outside of the segment, this function raises ValueError.
The bytes may contain embedded NULL bytes ('\0').
Tip: the following Python code will display
the mode in octal:
print int(str(my_mem.mode), 8)
This is a handle to a FIFO message queue.
key must be None, IPC_PRIVATE or an integer > 0 and ≤ KEY_MAX. If the key is None, the module chooses a random unused key.
The flags specify whether you want to create a new queue or open an existing one.
The max_message_size can be increased from the default, but be aware of the issues discussed in Message Queue Limits.
The message should be a bytes object (a.k.a. str in Python 2) and can contain embedded NULLs (ASCII 0x00). Passing a Unicode object may work, but doing so is unsupported and may be explicitly deprecated in a future version.
The block flag specifies whether or not the call should wait if the message can't be sent (if, for example, the queue is full). When block is False, the call will raise a BusyError if the message can't be sent immediately.
The type is associated with the message and is relevant when calling receive(). It must be > 0.
The block flag specifies whether or not the call should wait if there's no messages of the specified type to retrieve. When block is False, the call will raise a BusyError if a message can't be received immediately.
The type permits some control over which messages are retrieved.
Tip: the following Python code will display
the mode in octal:
print int(str(my_mem.mode), 8)
This module comes with two demonstration apps. The first (in the directory demo) shows how to use shared memory and semaphores. The second (in the directory demo2) shows how to use message queues.
Most System V IPC sample code recommends ftok() for generating an integer key that's more-or-less random. It does not, however, guarantee that the key it generates is unused. If ftok() gives your application a key that some other application is already using, your app is in trouble unless it has a reliable second mechanism for generating a key. And if that's the case, why not just abandon ftok() and use the second mechanism exclusively?
This is the weakness of ftok() -- it isn't guaranteed to give you what you want. The BSD man page for ftok says it is "quite possible for the routine to return duplicate keys". The term "quite possible" isn't quantified, but suppose it means one-tenth of one percent. Who wants to have 1-in-1000 odds of a catastrophic failure in their program, or even 1-in-10000?
This module obviates the need for ftok() by generating random keys for you. If your application can't use sysv_ipc's automatically generated keys because it needs to know the key in advance, hardcoding a random number like 123456 in your app might be no worse than using ftok() and has the advantage of not hiding its limitations.
This module provides ftok() in case you want to experiment with it. However, to emphasize its weakness, this version of ftok() raises a warning with every call unless you explicitly pass a flag to silence it.
This package also provides ftok_experiment.py so that you can observe how often ftok() generates duplicate keys on your system.
When a System V sempahore is created at the C API level, the OS is not required to initialize the semaphore's value. (This per the SUSv3 standard for semget().) Some (most? all?) operating systems initialize it to zero, but this behavior is non-standard and therefore can't be relied upon.
If sempahore creation happens in an predictable, orderly fashion, this isn't a problem. But a race condition arises when multiple processes vie to create/open the same semaphore. The problem lies in the fact that when an application calls semget() with only the IPC_CREAT flag, the caller can't tell whether or not he has created a new semaphore or opened an existing one. This makes it difficult to create reliable code without using IPC_EXCL. W. Richard Stevens' Unix Network Programming Volume 2 calls this "a fatal flaw in the design of System V semaphores" (p 284).
For instance, imagine processes P1 and P2. They're executing the same code, and that code intends to share a binary semaphore. Consider the following sequence of events at the startup of P1 and P2 –
W. Richard Stevens' solution for this race condition is to check the value of sem_otime (an element in the semid_ds struct that's populated on the call to semctl(IPC_STAT) and which is exposed to Python by this module) which is initialized to zero when the semaphore is created and otherwise holds the time of the last call to semop() (which is called by P()/acquire(), V()/release(), and Z()).
In Python, each process would run something like this:
try: sem = sysv_ipc.Semaphore(42, sysv_ipc.IPC_CREX) except sysv_ipc.ExistentialError: # One of my peers created the semaphore already sem = sysv_ipc.Semaphore(42) # Waiting for that peer to do the first acquire or release while not sem.o_time: time.sleep(.1) else: # Initializing sem.o_time to nonzero value sem.release() # Now the semaphore is safe to use.
With shared memory, using the IPC_CREAT flag without IPC_EXCL is problematic unless you know the size of the segment you're potentially opening.
Why? Because when creating a new segment, many (most? all?) operating systems demand a non-zero size. However, when opening an existing segment, zero is the only guaranteed safe value (again, assuming one doesn't know the size of the segment in advance). Since IPC_CREAT can open or create a segment, there's no safe value for the size under this circumstance.
As a (sort of) side note, the SUSv3 specification for shmget() says only that the size of a new segment must not be less than "the system-imposed minimum". I gather that at one time, some systems set the minimum at zero despite the fact that it doesn't make much sense to create a zero-length shared memory segment. I think most modern systems do the sensible thing and insist on a minimum length of 1.
Python programmers can usually remain blissfully ignorant of memory allocation issues. Unfortunately, a combination of factors makes them relevant when dealing with System V message queues.
Some implementations impose extremely stingy limits. For instance, many BSDish systems (OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD) limit queues to 2048 bytes. Note that that's the total queue size, not the message size. Two 1k messages would fill the queue.
Those limits can be very difficult to change. At best, only privileged processes can increase the limit. At worst, the limit is a kernel parameter and requires a kernel change via a tunable or a recompile.
This module can't figure out what the limits are, so it can't cushion them or even report them to you. On some systems the limits are expressed in header files, on others they're available through kernel interfaces (like FreeBSD's sysctl). Under OS X and to some extent OpenSolaris I can't figure out where they're defined and what I report here is the result of experimentation and educated guesses formed by Googling.
The good news is that this module will still behave as advertised no matter what these limits are. Nevertheless you might be surprised when a call to .send() get stuck because a queue is full even though you've only put 2048 bytes of messages in it.
Here are the limits I've been able to find under my test operating systems, ordered from best (most generous) to worst (most stingy). This information was current as of 2009 when I wrote the message queue code. It's getting pretty stale now. I hope the situation has improved over the 2009 numbers I describe below.
Under OpenSolaris 2008.05 each queue's maximum size defaults to 64k. A privileged process (e.g. root) can change this through the max_size attribute of a sysv_ipc.MessageQueue object. I was able to increase it to 16M and successfully sent sixteen 1M messages to the queue.
Under Ubuntu 8.04 (and perhaps other Linuxes) each queue's maximum size defaults to 16k. As with OpenSolaris, I was able to increase this to 16M, but only for a privileged process.
Under FreeBSD 7 and I think NetBSD and OpenBSD, each queue's maximum size defaults to 2048 bytes. Furthermore, one can (as root) set max_size to something larger and FreeBSD doesn't complain, but it also ignores the change.
OS X is the worst of the lot. Each queue is limited to 2048 bytes and OS X silently ignores attempts to increase this (just like FreeBSD). To add insult to injury, there appears to be no way to increase this limit short of recompiling the kernel. I'm guessing at this based on the Darwin message queue limits.
If you want to search for these limits on your operating system, the key constants are MSGSEG, MSGSSZ, MSGTQL, MSGMNB, MSGMNI and MSGMAX. Under BSD, sysctl kern.ipc should tell you what you need to know and may allow you to change these parameters.
Semaphores and especially shared memory are a little different from most Python objects and therefore require a little more care on the part of the programmer. When a program creates a semaphore or shared memory object, it creates something that resides outside of its own process, just like a file on a hard drive. It won't go away when your process ends unless you explicitly remove it.
In short, remember to clean up after yourself.
The sysv_ipc module is just a wrapper around your system's API. If your system's implementation has quirks, the man pages for semget, semctl, semop shmget, shmat, shmdt and shmctl will probably cover them.
Many systems (although not some older versions of OS X) come with ipcs and ipcrm. The former shows existing shared memory, semaphores and message queues on your system and the latter allows you to remove them.
For Pythonistas –
Bugs? My code never has bugs! There are, however, some suboptimal anomalies...
These are features that may or may not be added depending on technical difficulty, user interest and so forth.
I don't plan on adding support for semaphore sets.

Li-Fi can be applied to any LED light bulb, using a lamp 'driver' to flash the light at speeds incapable of being seen by the naked eye.
LED's can blink fast enough that the human eye cannot comprehend what they are seeing, so Li-Fi can even be used in the dark.
Li-Fi is the next generation of wireless data transfer.
As it uses light waves rather than radio waves, wireless data transfer is much faster and efficient
Regular Wi-Fi will hit limits at about 150 Mps, but is expensive and inefficent to acheive. Li-Fi's theoretical maximum is 224 Gps, over 1400% faster!
With this speed, a person with capable hardware could download 100 1.5 Gigabyte movies in one second.
What does this mean for people and BTM Students?
New devices for in-home use, reworking of underground
internet cables
Quicker connectivity means a more connected and
networked world
New job opportunities within the Li-Fi Industry
Possible reworking of global work internet systems

Any ideas for a dire mace user? _________________ Would you offer your throat to the wolf with a Rose in it's mouth?
half-orc ranger/fighter. pick up TWF. High Strength. Full plate armour.
-c
I'd go with half orc barbarian/fighter/CoT instead. Str based, full plate, TWF/ITWF, ambidexterity, WS/EWS, rage and save boni due to CoT. With CHA boosting items you could also use smite evil and divine wrath. Brb 24/Fg 4/ CoT 12 is my suggestion. Take some CoT preepic to boost ref saves.
Cheers, Kail _________________ Dilegua notte Tramontate stelle Tramontate stelle All'alba vinceṛ Vinceṛ Vinceṛ
Thanx for the ideas...I'm trying a pure fighter/Weapon master at the moment and need some input on feats and such. _________________ Would you offer your throat to the wolf with a Rose in it's mouth?
if you get weapon master high enough, you can have a very high ab, which will allow you to have expertise turned on while fighting, helping to mack up for the lack of shield. obviously TWF, Ambi, ITWF are key. might as well get Impr Crit for the mace while you take WM. in general toughness is a good idea. Iron will to buff against mind spells. blind fight is always helpful. cleave is a favourite for mobs. impr knockdown is another. disarm can be fun. depends how many feats you have.

Supermarkets cut fuel price amid drop in wholesale price
by Iain LynnThree supermarket giants have announced a cut in fuel prices amid a fall in wholesale costs.
Asda reduced the price of a litre of petrol and diesel by up to 2p on Friday morning.
READ MORE: New competition offers drivers free fuel for life
The announcement means drivers will pay no more than £1.20 per litre of petrol and £1.24 for diesel at Asda's 322 filling stations.
This is the firm's lowest price for petrol since April.
Morrisons and Sainsbury's responded by pledging to implement the same price cut over the weekend.
Asda senior fuel buyer Dave Tyrer said: "With Christmas just around the corner, we're pleased to be able to lower the cost of fuel and pass these savings on to our customers."
Earlier this week the RAC accused fuel retailers of refusing to pass on a fall in wholesale prices, claiming drivers were being overcharged by more than 5p per litre for petrol and 4p for diesel.
Government figures published on Tuesday showed the average cost of fuel in the UK was £1.26 for petrol and £1.30 for diesel.

Hemi JavaScript Framework
Hemi.app.module
Description
Modules are external script instrumented with a basic API to operate within the Hemi framework and be included in the Hemi.registry service. Similar to Application Components, the concept permits a typical external JavaScript format but which operates within its own namespace. The module class also includes basic support for unit testing, so that modules may be quickly written to act as externally loaded unit tests. For example, the Application Component Tests includes several unit tests for vetting the Application Component class.
Class Index
static Hemi.app.module.service
version 4.0.1
Static implementation of the hemi.app.module.serviceImpl class.
Hemi.app.module.serviceImpl

VICE VERSA A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1988 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Father and son trade bodies in what seems an unpromising comedy-fantasy but which breathes new life into into an old concept. VICE VERSA compares favorably with the Thorne Smith fantasy-comedies of the 1940s. Judge Reinhold's and Fred Savage's acting is very much on target. Rating: +2.
Thorne Smith was the master of the sophisticated supernatural comedy. Back in the 1920s and 1930s he wrote a series of sophisticated comic novels including THE PASSIONATE WITCH and NIGHT LIFE OF THE GODS, though his best- known series were the "Topper" books. Hollywood 1940s comedy fantasies including TURNABOUT, I MARRIED A WITCH, and the "Topper" series were based on his novels. TURNABOUT involved the comic effects of a man and a woman who somehow trade minds. The same idea of variations has been tried in films with uneven results. Not too long ago there was a reputedly terrible film on this theme called LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON in which a father and son change places. Dudley Moore played first the father, then the son. It appeared to be one more step down in Moore's career, which has been spotty since the hilarious BEDAZZLED. Now, perhaps too soon afterwards, another film has come out on the same theme and this one, I must say, is worthy of the Thorne Smith tradition.
Seymour Marshall (played by Judge Reinhold in one of his first adult roles) is an executive for a large department store who, through a smuggling slip-up, has come into possession of a magical skull from Tibet. While caring for his son while his ex-wife is on vacation, he whimsically wishes to trade places with his son Charlie (played by Fred Savage). For once whimsey does make it so. Now such a plot can be and has been done well or poorly. VICE VERSA does it about as well as it can be done. Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais, who produced the script the film as well as wrote the script, have really creative imaginations for comic situations. The result is a story that is not just cute but genuinely very funny. The film's only real false step is to mix in a cliched subplot with criminals and chases, but it remains a small part of the plot and even it is resolved in a novel manner.
The acting is surprisingly good by both Reinhold and Savage, who play the father and son (or VICE VERSA) under the direction of Brian Gilbert. Each has a feel for the mannerisms of the other. Savage is staid and dignified with a dominant edge; Reinhold's eleven-year-old boy is sloppy and explosive with a great feel for physical comedy. Savage as the father pretending to be the son finds seventh grade a breeze, but dealing with seventh grade bullies takes more than just an "enlightened, mature" approach. Reinhold's little boy as department store executive, dealing with what he calls "yin-yangs" and what the credits call "the backstabbers," has a winning ingenuous quality. VICE VERSA was a very pleasant surprise. Rate it a low +2 on the -2 to +4 scale.

Toto Wolff reflects on Ocon departure
by Tom MasonEsteban Ocon will be driving for Renault next season, replacing Nico Hulkenberg and his former boss at Mercedes Toto Wolff has spoken following his departure. Ocon, was the Mercedes third driver this season, offering support to Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.
The 23-year-old's move to Renault will see him drive alongside the highly experienced Daniel Ricciardo next season.
“Esteban had been with us for some time. We found ourselves in a situation last year where we didn’t have a seat to offer him. He learned a lot. He could have just watched Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas, but instead, he’s done a lot of simulators and learned a lot," Wolff was quoted by thejudge13.com.
“Overall he is much more mature. Esteban is a driver who deserves to be in a Mercedes and who deserves to be in a very good car. But I believe that Renault’s offer, which is a factory team, could not be refused.
“It is something good for him and his development. And I think there are also risks when you go back to Mercedes against a Lewis Hamilton, in a team that is fighting for the world championship. For that reason, I believe that for him, Renault is the ideal solution.

Chapter 4 Charts
You can skip this chapter if . . .

-
You are confident you can read and interpret charts.
-
You know what bad charts look like
4.1 Data Visualisation
Data visualisation is one of the most important skills a scientst can learn, and being able to identify good and bad data visualisation will make you the life and soul of every party, and incredibly popular at all times.
In this chapter, we’re not going to look at any R code. Instead we’re going to think about what data visualisation means.
4.1.1 When charts go bad
Lets take a look at Figure 4.1.
There is an excellent article from the Financial Times about this chart. I think this chart is a great example of why data visualisation is important.
We use charts to communicate large amounts of data quickly and easily.
Often, in life, we are trying to communicate something important. We are often trying to persuade someone to do something, like give us more research money, or to make a change that we want to see.
What message do you think Figure 4.1 is trying to communicate?
If you look at the x axis (the one that goes across the graph), what order are the dates in?
4.1.2 Chart anatomy
<IP_ADDRESS> The two-axes rule
Most charts will have two axes:
The x axis which goes across the chart
The y axis which goes up the chart (upp-y/down-y was how I used to remember it).
As in data science we are often interested in does x affect y, we usually put the explanatory variable on the x axis. We try to always have the thing that drives variation going across the chart, whereas the thing that responds to variation goes up and down the chart. (The response-y variable.)
You should always think about your axes - and they should be clear to the reader from the beginning. No messing with the order (see again Figure 4.1).
Unless you have a very good reason, I would always have two axes. That means if you’re trying to put in a second Y axis, you are breaking the two-axes rule, and should re-evaluate your chart. If you’re trying to make a pie-chart, you are breaking the two-axes rule, and should re-evaluate your chart.

Let’s take Figure 4.2 as an example. What proportion of people have a dog versus a cat. I’ll wait for you to start puzzling through that question.
It’s very hard to distinguish between a pie slice that’s 2/5ths versus a pie slice that’s 2/7ths. Many people put labels on their pie charts, but if I need to read the label to understand the difference, why not just put the text in a table?
Instead a bar chart shows use the exact ranking of this data and we can see how many more people have cats versus birds.
<IP_ADDRESS> Figure headings
Figure headings should be a clear description of what is in the chart.
<IP_ADDRESS> Legends
Like figure headings, legends should be informative and clear. They will always describe a categorical variable, and sometimes their job will be done by the x axis.
<IP_ADDRESS> Colours
The use of colours in charts is a curious thing. Colour can be very useful in a chart, but also very distracting. There’s another brilliant FT article on the use of colour to indicate gender in charts and all the ensuing complications. (University of Edinburgh folk can log in to the FT for free).
<IP_ADDRESS>.1 Advanced R users
If you have gotten really into R, or you really like pretty colours, I highly recommend checking out Emil Hvitfeldt’s well maintained repository listing all the R colour palette packages out there. Personally I really like nord
8 and LaCroixColoR
and NineteenEightyR
. Much of my life is spent tweaking colours on charts.
4.1.3 Bar charts
Bar charts are good for describing a continuous (numerical) variable by a categorical (grouping) variable. When you are describing a continuous variable by a categorical variable, you are usually describing the mean of that category, but it can also be the median, or other measures. For example:
They can also be flipped around, particularly if the axis text is hard to read in one particular direction:
4.1.4 Histograms
A histogram shows the relative frequency of a continuous variable. For example we can see the most common height of Star Wars characters, with 20 characters, is around 180cm:
4.1.5 Scatterplots
Scatterplots are good for showing the relationship between two continuous variables.
But we can use other aspects, such as shape or colour, to add in a categorical variable:
4.1.6 Boxplots
Boxplots are another way to examine a continuous variable by a categorical variable, but they give us a lot more information than a bar plot does.
A boxplot shows you:
The median value (the thick bar in the middle)
The first quartile (the lowest part of the bar)
The third quartile (the highest part of the bar)
A lower hinge (the bottom thin line) which roughly equates to 95% of the data will not be below this value.
An upper hinge (the top thin line) which roughy equates to 95% of the data will not be above this value.
Any outliers (the dots) which are observations which lie outside of 95% of the data9
4.1.7 Infographics
In our increasingly connected world, we are seeing more and more infographics. As they’re less standardised, there can be more room for interpretation. For example;
As an Indian woman, I can confirm that too much of my time is spent hiding behind a rock praying the terrifying gang of international giant ladies and their Latvian general don't find me pic.twitter.com/sy9NHW9oTK
— Sabah Ibrahim (@reina_sabah) August 6, 2020
Infographics can be extremely powerful, particularly when trying to communicate on social media. Unfortunately, sometimes the design choices can make it harder to understand exactly what the analysis has done. Infographics can be as misleading as bad charts.
In general, I would focus on chart visualisations over infographics, even for public engagement. When you are very confident with making clear and readable charts, then you can start to think about infographics.


Chinese FM says US bill aims to ‘destroy Hong Kong’
by The Online CitizenChinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Thursday condemned the passage of a US bill lauding pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, saying it “indulges violent criminals” and aims to “muddle or even destroy Hong Kong”.
The legislation is “a naked interference in China’s internal affairs”, Wang told former US defense secretary William Cohen at a meeting in Beijing, China’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
Wang said China would “never allow any attempts to damage Hong Kong’s prosperity and stability or damage ‘one country, two systems’ to succeed”.
US lawmakers on Wednesday overwhelmingly approved legislation that supports human rights and democracy in Hong Kong and also backs the territory’s anti-China protesters, sending the measure opposed by Beijing to President Donald Trump.
The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act requires the president to annually review the city’s favourable trade status and threatens to revoke it if the semi-autonomous territory’s freedoms are quashed.
They also passed legislation banning sales of tear gas, rubber bullets and other equipment used by Hong Kong security forces in putting down the protests, which are now in their sixth month.
The White House has not threatened to veto the measure and Trump is expected to sign it, according to a source familiar with the matter.
After Congress passed the bill, China’s foreign ministry warned the country was ready to “resolutely fight back” with unspecified measures.

I have not read any experience reports in over a year until today as I write this story. I believe that I have a couple stories (under different names) that were on this site glamorizing my use of Adderall and Meth. However, I sit today clean and sober for a year and a half.
I was 19 years old, and had moved to Los Angeles from Ohio, and drugs had ruined my experience out there. I had done so much speed that I lost my job and ran out of money, so I had to come home. When I got home I got a job with a large corporate company and was in my orientation looking through my benefits package for Adderall to see if I was covered-and I was! I immediately went to my physician and told her I had difficulty concentrating. In all honestly that was all it took and she, being completely oblivious to the fact that I abused the drug, said that she would give me some Adderall to see if it would help. Long story short, the dosages got higher and so did I. So here is what happened:
I had been on a binge combining Adderall and meth for about five days, the Adderall were the 30mg fast acting, and I had taken about a half a bottle and at least two grams of meth. I had taken vacation time from work to binge on speed. I stayed in my apartment the whole time, didn't really talk to many people, just busied myself with cleaning the whole apartment, playing my guitar, surfing the internet etc.
After four days, I had to go back to work, and I still had not slept.  Big mistake. Before my lunch break had even arrived that day, I crashed. I was at work in a huge room full of cubicles. As I was coming down, the paranoia began.
I remember hearing people talking about me. I heard things like 'I think we should tell the boss about him' I thought they were calling security to have me arressted, and I was watching them go to the copy machine and the water cooler etc, and I thought they were rehearsing some sort of elaborate arrest plan. Crazy I know, but true. They were all talking about me, they all had an agenda to get me fired.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
At this point I got up and left, thinking that I was fired anyway. As I drove home, I looked around me, and I was noticing people's air fresheners on their rear view mirrors, and I thought they were membership tags for some undercover police organization. I thought they were following me to my apartment.
I went into my apartment and locked the door, but I was sure that people from my work were hidden throughout the apartment complex, just waiting for me to try to leave so they could jump out and arrest me. I paced around my apartment for hours, constantly looking out the window and the peephole in my front door. I thought my phones and my computer were tapped.
This story may seem a little nuts, but I cannot explain the horror I felt that day. I actually called my mother and asked her to meet me at the local police station, because I was about to be arrested, and I would need her to bail me out. I was calling my friends to see if they would house sit for me while I was in jail, saying things like, 'I know they are listening on the phone. They think they are clever, but I know they are here.' In my mind, I thought the police were coming, and that people from my work had allied with my neighbors. I was petrified.
I was not the only one either. My mother and my friends all thought I needed to be committed. They thought something had happened that sent me over the edge. I peeked outside my apartment and saw one of my neighbors standing at the mailboxes at the end of the hall, and I was going to assault him because I thought he was in on 'the plan'. Thankfully I was too scared to do so. All of this because of Adderall and meth. I had gone psychotic.
Finally my mother came over, and she is a doctor. I told her the truth and she explained amphetamine psychosis to me. She gave me something to help me fall asleep and sat there and talked me down from the drug. I would hear a noise or a siren outside somewhere and would jump up and get scared, and she would let me know that it was an ambulence somewhere or explain what the noise was.
The paranoia I got from speed was not worth the feeling it gave me. I am so glad I'm done with it. I feel 150% better now that I don't do it. The feeling I have being off of it is a lot better than anything I felt while I was on it.

One of the most interesting features of the CGLE is that it interpolates between two well-known limits: a variational system and the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
Let us consider the special case where and transform to a rotating frame:
then the CGLE becomes
This equation can then be written in the form
where
We can now see that
Thus, for finite , the value of the functional assumes the role of a Lyapunov functional (or free energy). Since it is bounded from below, the system then relaxes towards the local minima.
In the limit of , (and after some rescaling) the CGLE transforms into the nonlinear Schrödinger equation
which is both Hamiltonian and integrable (it possesses well-known soliton solutions). Indeed, the CGLE can be thought of as a dissipative extension of the conservative nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
One of the aspects of the CGLE that makes it so interesting is the fact that in general, the equation is neither relaxational or Hamiltonian, but can display dynamics characteristic of both types of system. One means of analysing the CGLE is to use these two limits as starting points for the application of perturbation theory.


The One in a Hundred: a deeply personal perspective on surviving the drought – video
by Suzanne Kim
The price of grain is rising, dam levels have fallen, there's no more feed. Everywhere is dust, crops have been wiped. Australia is in the grip of the worst drought in 100 years, worse than many can remember. On these once fertile farmlands cattle farmers, grain growers and others living through the drought are carrying the weight of the emotional, economic and psychological effects. New South Wales farmer Jason Maloney shares his experience of trying to stay afloat during the 'one in 100'
