Functions
Syntax
Define the language
RecFun(V,C,P)
as extending RecExp(V,C,P) with
new types:
| T | ::= | ...as before... |
| | | C T : T |
and new expressions:
| M | ::= | ...as before... |
| | | fn C P {M} | (Anonymous function) |
| | | M M | (Function application) |
The typing for anonymous functions is:
|
|
(P : T) : |
| , |
|
M : T in C |
|
|
|
fn C P {M} : (C T : T) in val |
and for function application is:
|
|
M : (C T : T) in val |
|
|
M : T in C |
|
|
|
M M : T in C |
In particular, note that anonymous functions are always values,
even if the function body is central or process. This agrees with
the usual definition of normal forms for operational semantics.
Graphical semantics
Cartesian closed
To give a graphical semantics for the cartesian closed structure,
we extend the category of cyclic flow graphs
CGraph(V)
to that of closed cyclic flow graphs
CCGraph(V)
by allowing edges to be labelled by value function types:
A,B,C ::= X
| A1,...,Am
B1,...,Bn
and allowing nodes of the form:
with labellings:
:
(B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co),
B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co
in
CCGraph(V)
:
A1,...,Am
(B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co)
in
CCGraph(V)
where:
:
A1,...,Am,
B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co
in
CCGraph(V)
These graphs are factored up to the equivalence required for a cartesian
closed category:
CCGraph(V)[A, B C]
CCGraph(V)[A B, C]
Graphically these axioms are:
| Beta: |
|
= |
|
| Eta: |
|
= |
|
| Naturality: |
|
= |
|
The graphical semantics is extended with:
| [[fn val P {M} in val]] |
= |
|
| [[M N in val]] |
= |
|
Symmetric monoidal closed
To give a semantics for the symmetric monoidal closed structure:
by allowing edges to be labelled by central function types:
A,B,C ::= ...
| A1,...,Am
B1,...,Bn
We extend flow graphs to allow nodes of the form:
with labellings:
:
(B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co),
B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co
in
CCGraph(V,C)
:
A1,...,Am
(B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co)
in
CCGraph(V,C)
where:
:
A1,...,Am,
B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co
in CCGraph(V,C)
These graphs are factored up to the equivalence required for
the adjunction:
CCGraph(V,C)[A, B C]
CCGraph(V,C)[A B, C]
Graphically:
| Beta: |
|
= |

| Eta: |

The graphical semantics is extended with:
| [[fn central P {M} in val]] |
= |
|
| [[M N in central]] |
= |

Symmetric premonoidal closed
To give a semantics for the symmetric monoidal closed structure:
- we extend the category of cyclic flow graphs
CGraph(V,C,P)
to that of closed cyclic flow graphs
CCGraph(V,C,P),
- we extend the category
CCGraph(V,C)
to
CCGraph(V,C,P), and
- we extend the category
CCGraph(V,C)
to
CCGraph(V,C,P).
by allowing edges to be labelled with process function types:
A,B,C ::= ...
| A1,...,Am
B1,...,Bn
and allowing nodes of the form:
with labellings:
:
(B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co),
B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co
in
CCGraph(V,C,P)
:
A1,...,Am
(B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co)
in
CCGraph(V,C,P)
where:
:
A1,...,Am,
B1,...,Bn
C1,...,Co
in
CCGraph(V,C,P)
These graphs are factored up to the equivalence required for
the adjunction:
CCGraph(V,C,P)[A, B C]
CCGraph(V,C,P)[A B, C]
Graphically:
| Beta: |
|
= |

| Eta: |

= |

| Naturality: |

= |
|
The graphical semantics is extended with:
| [[fn proc P {M} in val]] |
= |
|
| [[M N in proc]] |
= |
|
Recursive functions
To allow recursive functions, we just add a new judgement:
For example, with appropriate string and I/O primitives, we can write a
simple `hello' program:
No change is required to the graphical semantics, except to make
edges labelled with types of the form
A1,...,Am B1,...,Bn
traceable.
Initiality
Since we have taken the initial cartesian/monoidal/premonoidal categories
and factored them by equations for the closed structure, the categories:
CCGraph(V,C,P)
CCGraph(V,C,P)
CCGraph(V,C,P)
form the initial triple of categories:
V
C
P
with:
Thus the
graphical semantics defined above uniquely determines a semantics in
any such triples of categories.

Not your average group work
July 26, 2014
I've absolutely come to love pairing! I will be completely honest and admit that I expected to semi-hate the process. On the one hand I thought I'd be exposed as a fraud with nothing to contribute to anyone else's work. And on the other hand I had flashbacks to middle school projects where I'd inevitably do all the work and only get half the praise. I'm so very glad to report that neither of these scenarios fit the bill. Pairing with different folks each week has been an affirmation that DBC does a wonderful job of finding people who are smart, intellectually curious and incredibly kind and understanding. That gives me a little hope that maybe they didn't make a mistake on me either!
They say misery loves company. Well, I'm not miserable but sometimes I do struggle. And struggle loves company. The people I've paired with have either blown me away when I look at their sites and posts or blown me away with their code. And when I sign on to Google Hangout and hear the voice behind all the genius work admit there's a little bit of struggle on their end too, I breathe a deep sigh of relief. I am not alone.
I've learned multiple things from every person I've met. Even when I think there's something I have down pact or don't need too much help with, seeing things from a different perspective reminds me that there's always room to grow. When I refactor I find myself drawing on these experiences and push myself to think more creatively.
Feedback is paramount to the pairing and growing process.  But so far, the feedback I've received has been yet another sign that I need to take a chill pill and not worry so much. In fact, one person even told me to stop calling my ideas “stupid” - thank you, I really needed that! Even the process of writing feedback has been helpful for my own growth. When I have some areas of improvement to share, I first reflect on what that means about me - either why I didn't share that during the sessions, or does the same criticism apply to me just as much, or more, as it does to my pair?
In general the process of pairing and giving feedback, while at times slightly tedious from a scheduling or creative writing standpoint, has been hugely helpful for my learning. I wish I did it more often and will strive to in the coming weeks of Phase 0. But I know full well that I'll get my lion's share come August 25th. I can't wait!


Once the projects have been planned and funded, they move into delivery mode. The project teams are formed and the work begins. The focus is to deliver software features in accordance with the defined scope, specifications, and timeline. Formal management control is in place to ensure that the project delivers what has been committed to.
While the short-term goals of the business are being met by the projects, enterprise architects need to guard the enterprise IT landscape. They have to ensure that solutions are designed and implemented in view of the long-term goals of the enterprise and in alignment with the envisaged target state. Although enterprise architects should not be involved too deeply in the day-to-day project execution, they need to keep an eye on the projects, especially during design, acceptance, and deployment phases.
In more mature EA organization, this is done by a formalized portfolio governance. The role of portfolio governance is to provide a decision-making framework that is logical, robust, and repeatable to govern project investments. Figure 3-17 depicts an enterprise architect’s viewpoint on portfolio governance. It typically comprises two formal review processes: an architecture conformance review and a post-implementation review.
These processes act as tollgates for every project delivery that enters the enterprise’s IT landscape. Ross (2005) identifies the post-implementation review as one of the essential management practices for mature EA organizations. In the next section we will go through the architecture conformance and post-implementation reviews.

Chinese: 大有 ䷍ dà yǒu
Dà Yǒu ䷍ indicates that, (under the circumstances which it implies), there will be great progress and success.
1. In the first NINE
, undivided, there is no approach to what is injurious, and there is no error. Let there be a realisation of the difficulty (and danger of the position), and there will be no error (to the end).
䷍ changing to ䷱
Matching Line 1 in Adjacent Hexagram: ䷌
2. In the second NINE
, undivided, we have a large waggon with its load. In whatever direction advance is made, there will be no error.
䷍ changing to ䷝
Matching Line 2 in Adjacent Hexagram: ䷌
3. The third NINE
, undivided, shows us a feudal prince presenting his offerings to the Son of Heaven. A small man would be unequal (to such a duty).
䷍ changing to ䷥
Matching Line 3 in Adjacent Hexagram: ䷌
4. The fourth NINE
, undivided, shows its subject keeping his great resources under restraint. There will be no error.
䷍ changing to ䷙
Matching Line 4 in Adjacent Hexagram: ䷌
5. The fifth SIX
, divided, shows the sincerity of its subject reciprocated by that of all the others (represented in the hexagram). Let him display a proper majesty, and there will be good fortune.
䷍ changing to ䷀
Matching Line 5 in Adjacent Hexagram: ䷌
6. The topmost NINE
, undivided, shows its subject with help accorded to him from Heaven. There will be good fortune, advantage in every respect.
䷍ changing to ䷡
Matching Line 6 in Adjacent Hexagram: ䷌
Dà Yǒu ䷍ means 'Great Havings;' denoting in a kingdom a state of prosperity and abundance, and in a, family or individual, a p. 89 state of opulence. The danger threatening such a condition arises from the pride which it is likely to engender. But everything here is against that issue. Apart from the symbolism of the trigrams, we have the place of honour occupied by a weak line, so that its subject will be humble; and all the other lines, strong as they are, will act in obedient sympathy. There will be great progress and success.
Line 2, though strong, is at the lowest part of the figure, and has no correlate above. No external influences have as yet acted injuriously on its subject. Let him do as directed, and no hurtful influence will ever affect him.
The strong line 2 has its proper correlate in line 5, the ruler of the figure, and will use its strength in subordination to his humility. Hence the symbolism.
Line 3 is strong, and in the right (an odd) place. The topmost line of the lower trigram is the proper place for a feudal lord. The subject of this will humbly serve the condescending ruler in line 5. A small man, having the place without the virtue, would give himself airs.
Line 4 is strong, but the strength is tempered by the position, which is that of a weak line. Hence he will do no injury to the mild ruler, to whom he is so near.
Line 5 symbolises the ruler. Mild sincerity is good in him, and affects his ministers and others. But a ruler must not be without an awe-inspiring majesty.
Even the topmost line takes its character from 5. The strength of its subject is still tempered, and Heaven gives its approval.

How to read files ... one line at a time
01 Jun 2012Imagine that we have a file (.txt, .csv, .dat, etc) and that we need to do some kind of process for each line, and then save the results in another file. The only problem is that the size of the file is so huge that it is not possible to import it directly to R.
What can we do? We can simply read line by a line while applying the required operations and export the output to another file. Here's how. We need the input file (where the data is), and the output file (where the results will be stored). The general idea is to:
- Read the input file line by line
- For each line:
- Apply operations
- Export the outcome to the output file
- Repeat steps 2.1 and 2.2
Toy example
Let's say we have an input_file
with a lot of lines. We need to apply some
function to each line, and then export the outcome to an output_file
. Let's
suppose that the outcome will be stored in a vector of length 6 with the following
elements: Id
id number, Name
some name, Var1-Var3
are values for three
variables, Status
some label. Here's one way to do it.
# specify output_file with column names in the first line
cat(c("Id", "Name", "Var1", "Var2", "Var3", "Status"), "\n",
file = "/path_output_file/output_file")
# define the location of the input file (to be read line by line)
file_con = file("/path_input_file/input_file")
# open connection
open(file_con)
# create a line counter
count_line = 1
# let's process the data
while(length(oneline <- readLines(file_con, n = 1, warn = FALSE)) > 0)
{
# apply some function
outcome = myfunction(oneline)
# print results to output file
cat(outcome, "\n", file = "/path_output_file/output_file", append = TRUE)
# increase counter
count_line = count_line + 1
}
# close the connection
close(file_con)
# how many lines did we read?
count_line

class: center, middle, inverse, title-slide # Intellectual property rights ### Deependra Dhakal ### 2019/04/04 (updated: 2020-10-11) --- <style type="text/css"> .title-slide { background-image: url(images/pomato_hybrid_graft.jpg); background-size: 80% auto; } .small-font { font-size: 40%; } .medium-font { font-size: 75%; } </style> <!-- Refer to Plant Breeding and Farmers' Participation textbook for details. --> ## Background - Law and science meet here. - Foster sharing of economic incentives to making available traditional knowledge, to conserve it through use, and thereby enhance the livelihoods of farming and indigenous communities and reverse the decline of biodiversity, upon which, in return, long-term food security is based. [Rights to plant genetic resources and traditional knowledge, 2006] - Since the adoption of convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in 1992, the law of plant genetic resources (PGR) and the legal status of traditional knowledge (TK) has attracted increasing attention. - Agreement on Trade related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement) within the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995. - International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture in (ITPGRFA) 2002. - 2001 Doha Agenda of the WTO explicitly endorsed the issue of traditional knowledge as a subject for further work. - What does it take to be a patent attorney or a legal counsel ? [Careers, by Cameron walker, nature, Finding a balance; 31 July 2014] - World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) --- ## Traditional knowledge - Interrelationship between level of biodiversity in a specific region with cultural distinctiveness of its inhabitants. - Specific knowledge of communities living in close relationship to their environment: traditional knowledge. - This has been integrated in the Rio Process, and in the process to revise the International Undertaking on PGRFA, and it has recently been confirmed and enhanced by the outcome of the World Summit on Sustainable Development. - The CBD speaks of 'traditional knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and local communities embodying traditional lifestyles relevant for the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity' (Article 8(j)). --- ## Traditional knowledge - TK has common features for both indigenous as well as farming communities: - Information is not an individual creation, but the achievement of a specific community. - It cumulates over many generations and evolve accordingly. - Managed by and exchanged through customs or customary laws. - Close interaction exists between TK and the surrounding ecosystem. - According to the Four Directions Council, 'indigenous peoples possess their own locally-specific systems of jurisprudence with respect to the classification of different types of knowledge, proper procedures for acquiring and sharing knowledge, and the rights and responsibilities which attach to possessing knowledge' --- ## Farmer's right - Intellectual contribution of farmers to the diversity of crop varieties and animal breeds is emphasized in a great variety of documents: for instance, in the 'Farmers' Rights Charter', a document drafted by Indian Farmers' Unions. - It is stated that 'farmers are the original breeders and through their breeding science and technology have produced the rich diversity of crop varieties and animal breeds as a gift to the world'. - Guiding thoughts: - Farmers ought to have the right to 'participate fully in any benefits derived from the improved use of these genetic resources' and, of course, in the ITPGRFA (Preamble para. 7 and Article 9.1). - Farmers' innovations take place collectively and cumulatively, and that therefore farmers' rights, arising from their role as conservators and breeders, are community rights. --- ## PBR and varietal description - Often *sui generis* protection is mentioned in connection with PBR. *Sui generis* means 'of its own kind' or 'special', and *sui generis* protection refers to protection of plant breeders' rights with forms other than patents. - The best known known sui generis system is the one that is provided under the UPOV Convention. Under UPOV, PBRs are called Plant Variety Protection (PVP). As of 9 November 2004, the UPOV Convention had 58 member countries. UPOV sets forth the minimum protection that the member countries should grant for the developers of new and distinct plant varieties (UPOV, 1991). - Based on the concept that new varieties can be accurately recognized and maintained as discrete and unique units. <!-- - Most work of description occured during 1940s and 60s [Encyclopedia of grain science, page 459]. --> <!-- - During ensuing period, synonyms and homonyms, and varietal piracy we belaguering seed and variety use and regulation system. --> - Morphological description is important for: - The award of PBR and tests for distinctness, uniformity and stability (DUS); - The control of seed production by certification to ensure seed sold for agricultural production is true to the variety it is claimed to be; and - The control of variety purity at the point of final sale, e.g., from the farm to the food processor. - Two form of sui generis protection are offered in the US: - PVP protection and, - Plant Patent protection (An act was enacted in 1930. It may be granted to new and distinct plant varieties that are invented or discovered, although excluding tuber-propagated plants and plants found in uncultivated areas. Plant patents are issued for 20 years from the date of filing.) --- class: inverse, middle, center # Institutions related to Intellectual Property Rights --- ## UPOV - International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (Union International pour la Protection des Obtentions Vegetales; UPOV) was established in 1961. - It seeks to protect new varieties of plants both in the interest of agricultural development and of plant breeders. - UPOV sought from the outset to provide incentives to the private sector to engage in commercial plant breeding, by introducing so-called plant breeders' rights, aka. Plant Variety Rights. - Agreed guidelines for the conduct of tests and standardization of variety descriptions based upon the morphology of the grain and plant. - PBR is an IPR, often described as plant "patent" - Breeders can claim royalties on seed sold. - Once granted, PBR ecognizes the exclusive rights of individual plant breeders to produce or reproduce protected varieties, to condition them for the purpose of propagation, to offer them for sale, to commercialize them, including exporting and importing them, and to stock them with a view to production or commercialization (Article 14.1 UPOV). - Like any patent right, PBR expires after 20 years. --- ## TRIPS and IPRs - General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) contains important provisions covering the protection of intellectual property in the agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). - For most member countries ratification of GATT means membership of UPOV and a PBR system based upon plant morphology. - Plant breeders will still use morphological characters to purify candidate varieties before submitting them for tests and trials, and seed traders will still use morphological characters to verify variety at the point of sale. - However, the science of systematics is being revolutionized by molecular technologies. - Concept of "Essentially derieved varieties" --- class: inverse, middle, center # Intellectual property law in plant breeding --- ## Copyright - A copyright is a type of IP protection for 'authors' of original works. - Protects an original work and allows the author an exclusive right to reproduce the work, prepare derivatives of it, distribute copies of the work and perform the copyrighted work publicly. - Were mportant, historically, in protecting the rights of artists and authors. - Today, copyrights are becoming more and more important in protecting the rights of database developers. - In relation to plant breeding, copyrights may be a relevant means of protecting, for example, GIS databases supporting breeding, or databases containing gene sequences. --- ## Patent - Is it possible to patent DNA sequences if they have a known biological role, as well as processes and methodologies, such as tissue culture protocols or transformation methods. - Patent can be applied for if (in general): - an 'invention' is not patented already, - if you can demonstrate a significant novel step, and - it is 'not obvious' - Clearly these have definitions (and interpretations of definitions) attached to them - So increasingly, if researchers make any sort of breakthrough they will tend to consider patenting to protect their intellectual property (IP). - In other words, they can potentially capture value from exploiting that technology either directly, by exploiting it and preventing others from doing so, or indirectly, by licensing others to allow them to use the technology, perhaps subject to royalty payments. - For commercial application, in the very broadest sense, you have to come to a written agreement with the patent holder. - If anyone makes the same parent cross combination and selects a 'different' cultivar from the resulting progeny, they would equally be in infringement of the patent rights. --- ## Trademark - A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, design or a combination of those, that distinguishes the source of one's goods or services from those of others, e.g. Kodak(R). - A trademark can be valid only when it is used in connection with the **goods or services in commerce**. - As in other industries, trademarks are also becoming increasingly important for the **seed industry to brand its products**. - A remarkable advantage of a trademark is that it is **valid as long as it is in use in commerce**. - When the limited protection time of a patent or plant variety protection expires, a trademark can still be used to inform the customer of the specific qualities of the product. Outside of breeding industry, Kodak(R) is again a well known example: the patent right of the regular black and white film of Kodak expired about a hundred years ago, but still everybody knows exactly what they buy based on the strength of the trademark. --- ## Trade secrets - Trade secrets are probably the oldest and the cheapest way to protect one's IP: having a trade secret simply requires as the term indicates, that the IP is kept secret. - A trade secret could for example be a composition of a culture medium or a method to transform a plant species. A typical trade secret in the context of plant breeding is having the parent lines of a hybrid variety kept secret. - The positive aspect in trade secrets, in addition to its low cost, is that there is no expiration date. - The negative side is that once the secret is out, the protection is gone and anyone is free to use the know-how.

Plinko.js
Recently, I co-created an open-source multiplayer real-time browser-based physics game using JavaScript, Node.js, WebSockets and React. Using no client-side plugins and only relying on basic features of the browser, we built a client-server architecture to synchronize game state generated by a physics engine across the internet to multiple clients in real time, while facilitating live-action gameplay. We simulated a real time, lag free environment by analyzing state synchronization, binary data serialization, latency estimation, and protocol strategies.

Import the specified Python module, making it available for use from R.
import(module, as = NULL, convert = TRUE, delay_load = FALSE) import_main(convert = TRUE) import_builtins(convert = TRUE) import_from_path(module, path = ".", convert = TRUE, delay_load = FALSE)
| module | The name of the Python module. |
|---|---|
| as | An alias for module name (affects names of R classes). Note that this is an advanced parameter that should generally only be used in package development (since it affects the S3 name of the imported class and can therefore interfere with S3 method dispatching). |
| convert | Boolean; should Python objects be automatically converted
to their R equivalent? If set to |
| delay_load | Boolean; delay loading the module until it is first used?
When |
| path | The path from which the module should be imported. |
An R object wrapping a Python module. Module attributes can be accessed
via the $
operator, or via py_get_attr()
.
Python's built-in functions (e.g. len()
) can be accessed via Python's
built-in module. Because the name of this module has changed between Python 2
and Python 3, we provide the function import_builtins()
to abstract over
that name change.
The delay_load
parameter accepts a variety of inputs. If you just need to
ensure your module is lazy-loaded (e.g. because you are a package author and
want to avoid initializing Python before the user has explicitly requested it),
then passing TRUE
is normally the right choice.
You can also provide a list of named functions, which act as callbacks to be run when the module is later loaded. For example:
delay_load = list( # run before the module is loaded before_load = function() { ... } # run immediately after the module is loaded on_load = function() { ... } # run if an error occurs during module import on_error = function(error) { ... } )
Alternatively, if you supply only a single function, that will be treated as
an on_load
handler.
import_from_path()
can be used in you need to import a module from an arbitrary
filesystem path. This is most commonly used when importing modules bundled with an
R package -- for example:
path <- system.file("python", package = <package>) reticulate::import_from_path(<module>, path = path, delay_load = TRUE)
if (FALSE) { main <- import_main() sys <- import("sys") }

Ephesians 1:9
Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:


The Golden hamster
also known as Syrian, Standard, Fancy and Teddy Bear - and its cousins, the Chinese and Dwarf hamsters, constitute one of the most popular pet families in the Western world. In American homes, one of these hand-sized, playful creatures is often the first pet introduced to children - and for good reason. Hamsters are by nature clean and easy to care for. They eat little, are readily available through pet stores, and are inexpensive. More importantly, they're playful, fun to watch, active, and, with an average life span of two and a half years, a short-term commitment.
It's a fascinating fact that your Golden hamster is a descendant of a single mother and three surviving offspring found in the Syrian desert in 1940. Originally bred for laboratory research, hamsters were easily domesticated. These playful rodents bear little resemblance to their mice and gerbil relatives. In fact, hamsters look and act more like miniature bears.
Syrian Hamster
Syrian Hamsters are the largest and best-known of the domesticated hamsters and differ from dwarf hamster species in that they must be housed alone.
Campbells' Hamster
Best kept in same-sex pairs or small groups reared together from a young age, the interactions of Campbell’s dwarf hamsters with one another are as fun as their interaction with their keepers. Campbell’s dwarf hamsters are small, but they don't act like it.
Chinese Hamster
Chinese hamsters are unusual among the small varieties of hamster because they have somewhat more in common with the larger Syrian hamster than with the dwarf hamsters.
Winter White Hamster
Winter White dwarf hamsters are named for their natural camouflage. If exposed to longer nights and shorter days during winter, they become dusted with white over their base color, which they regain in the spring.
Roborovski Hamster
Roborovski dwarf hamsters (sometimes called Robo hamsters) are a social species best kept in same-sex pairs or small groups reared together from a young age. Roborovski dwarf hamsters are exceptionally quick.


{{Infobox prepared food | name = Helmipuuro | image = | caption = Helmipuuro made into oat milk (nontraditional) | alternate_name = | country = Finland | region = | creator = | course = | type = Porridge | served = | main_ingredient = Potato starch, milk | variations = | calories = | other = }} {{unreferenced|date=November 2011}}
Helmipuuro (Finnish) is a type of porridge traditional in Finland and in Russia. The porridge is made from monodisperse grains of potato starch that are swelled in boiling milk into translucent "pearls" of about 5 mm in diameter, thus the name helmipuuro ("pearl porridge"). As with other porridges, it can be eaten as is or flavored with butter, kissel, berries, jam or sugar.
It is grain- and gluten-free and thus suitable for sufferers of the coeliac disease.

Language::Farnsworth - A Turing Complete Language for Mathematics
use Language::Farnsworth::Error; error "Error message here"; debug 1, "This only happens when the user isn't thinking properly"; $Language::Farnsworth::Error::level = 3; # Change the level of debugging output for the current perl interpreter =head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an internally used class for producing errors (Eventually it will be the standard way of producing errors in Language::Farnsworth plugins). As I don't have a proper plugin system yet, nor all the features in here that i'd like i'm going to leave things like they are.
Add capturing information (maybe with a scope walker or something) to capture the current position in the farnsworth source. This will also require support in the parser to annotate the source position and store the filename and things.

Motivation
Yelp (yelp.com) is one of the most popular food review website in USA. Although it has a huge list of data and users reviewing various restaurants, it faces the following drawbacks:
-
Lack of Visualizations on the website
-
Text data/text reviews are generally difficult to read
-
The rating of the food in the restaurant is the mean rating of all the reviews for that particular restaurant. The drawback of this measure of analysis is that even if the recent food quality of a particular restaurant is much worse (leading to low rating over the last few months), it is offset by a big number of high ratings due to a cumulative rating of the restaurant over a period of 2-3 years. Hence, even if a restaurant has an overall 4.5 star rating, it might have got an average of 1.5 star rating over the last 2-3 months but users would still see the high rating of the restaurant due to a cumulative sum of reviews.

A subtrope of Art Imitates Art.
American Gothic. No, not the show, the 1930 Grant Wood painting with the dour, Alan Greenspan-esque man with a pitchfork and his equally dour daughter (who's often mistakenly assumed to be his wife). It is actually a portrait of Grant Wood's sister and his dentist. Incidentally, the house in the painting still stands today.
It's very well-known, and along with Leonardo's Mona Lisa and Edvard Munch's The Scream, it's one of the most parodied, imitated and referenced paintings in media, both real and fictional.
Incidentally, the "Gothic" refers to the architectural style of the window behind the couple.
Examples:
- In the early 1960s, the iconic couple sang "They won't wilt when you pour on milk" as part of a commercial for General Mills Country Corn Flakes. Grant Wood's sister, who was still alive at the time, was not amused.
- Paul Newman and his daughter Nell reproduced the pose for the packaging of Newman's Own Organics.
- The Red Robin chain of restaurants has the painting featured on the wall — but with a burger added to the farmer's pitchfork.
- Brilliantly spoofed at the end of this (banned, NSFW) IKEA commercial. (Also contains copious amounts of the Amazingly Embarrassing Parents trope...)
- The dating website Farmers Only recently started using a caricature of the couple in their commercial, but rather than looking dour they're happily carrying vegetables with hearts around them. And that's the least bizarre part of the commercials.
- Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman posed for a parody photograph of the painting with Palmer holding a floor cleaner and Gaiman holding a BBQ fork. The photo was taken by Kyle Cassidy.
- American Gothic by Gordon Parks. The couple is replaced by a maid, the gothic house is replaced by the back of an American flag, and the pitchfork is replaced with a broom.
- A sculpture on the Magnificent Mile of Michigan Avenue in Chicago, Illinois entitled "God Bless America" and featuring the American Gothic couple was put on display in December 2008. The sculpture is located just south of the Tribune Tower.
- The artwork on the Magic: The Gathering card Orcish Settlers parodied this painting with green orcs replacing the couple, a piece of toast impaled on a broken pitchfork, and the house on fire.
- A Munchkin promo card.
- The first issue of the 1990s version of Mister Miracle, with the title character assuming the position of the daughter while his wife, Big Barda, is assuming the father with her horned helmet taking the place of the pitchfork.
- The cover of Crossed: Family Values #2 depicts the couple as Crossed with Slasher Smiles, bloodstained weapons, and the house behind them on fire.
- The cover to issue 16 of Route 666 does a version of this with the two protagonists.
- One issue of The Flash has a montage of people who've hired a particular mercenary; one panel has a pastiche of the couple, intoning:
Man: We would've lost our farm...but he shot the banker.
Woman: Good riddance, too. - She-Hulk and Man-Wolf become the couple on the cover of issue #11 of her fourth solo series.
- The cover of Superman #42, part one of "Bizarroverse", shows Bizarro and Bizarro-Lois in front of a burning barn, with the addition of Boyzarro and the Bizarro Super-Pets.
- As part of the Credits Gag sequence at the end of the Over the Hedge film, RJ and Verne take up a silly pose with a spork. They're drawn; the result is the two as if in this painting.
- Beauty and the Beast has a brief image of the clock Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts looking like this during the song "Human Again".
- A reference to the painting appears in Mulan, of all things, in a scene where Mulan's ancestors argue about what to do about her situation. Two of them are revealed to look just like the characters, albeit Chinese, complete with the man saying "Not to mention they'll lose the farm."
- "American Gothic" is one of the paintings parodied in the "Tigger's Family" song sequence of The Tigger Movie.
- A picture of the couple as robots appears on Fender's bedroom wall in Robots
- The movie Good Fences starring Whoopi Goldberg also has a parody of the painting on its cover.
- In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, "Riff-Raff" (Richard O'Brien) and "Magenta" (Patricia Quinn) pose as the couple in front of the arched church doors during the song "Dammit Janet", after the wedding of Brad and Janet's friends Betty Monroe and Ralph Hapschatt. At the end, when they reveal their alien identities, the pitchfork has turned into a trident-shaped raygun. The painting can also be briefly seen on a wall in the castle.
- In the sequel Shock Treatment, it can be seen hanging on a wall in the prop room as a reference to the first movie.
- The picture is also parodied in the film poster for the 1988 slasher film American Gothic starring Yvonne De Carlo and Rod Steiger.
- In the first Men in Black, a spoof version of the painting (the man's head is a skull with eyes) appears on the cover of a tabloid magazine Kay buys while investigating the disappearance of Edgar.
- For Richer or Poorer, a 1997 comedy film starring Tim Allen and Kirstie Alley, makes a direct reference to the painting in its cinematic poster.
- In Night at the Museum 2: Battle at the Smithsonian, the couple (along with pretty much everything else in the museum) come to life and the man has his pitchfork taken by Larry in order to fend off Kah Mun Rah's Mooks.
- Main villains of Motel Hell pose like this on the film's original poster.
- The cover of Son in Law.
- The animated sequence of Stay Tuned features the characters in the painting screaming as the house is destroyed around them.
- During the "Iowa Stubborn" number of The Music Man part of the shipping crate (a "frame") for the new pool table is moved past a farm couple, temporarily creating this sort of tableau. They're wearing similar clothes to the people in the painting and the man is holding a pitchfork just in case you thought it was a coincidence.
- The cover of John Sweeney's book The Art of the Laugh.
- One of the pieces in the book The Art Of Discworld features Death taking the place of the man, from his brief retirement in Reaper Man. The woman, therefore, is Miss Flitworth.
- The portrait book The People of Pern depicts Menolly's parents, Yanus and Mavi, as an American Gothic pastiche.
- Ingeborg Refling Hagen actually wrote a poem called American Gothic, referring to this picture. While she presumed the woman was the wife of the man, she also stated this expression was almost generic - she claimed the looks of the man was similar to several Norwegian immigrants she had encountered in the United States. Then, she proceeded to explain his backstory, and how he had come to look so haggard and stern.
- Spoofed in Woody Allen's short story A Twenties Memory (in Getting Even) - the protagonist claims that the pair were actually Scott and Zelda, but Scott kept dropping the pitchfork during the sittings.
- The cover of the children's book, ''Old McDonald Had An Apartment House," has a simplistic cartoon rendering of McDonald and his wife in this pose before an apartment building.
- In one episode of Boy Meets World, Eric dresses as the farmer to try to ambush his brother's girlfriend. He has a one-sided "conversation" with the woman in the painting, mistakenly believing her to be his wife as he comments "I don't know why I married you."
- In the Chuck Halloween episode "Chuck Versus the Sandworm", two of the Buy More employees dress up as the farmer and his daughter. It's Jeff and Lester.
- In Desperate Housewives, the couple appear briefly in the opening credits.
- Dexter and his older brother pose in front of a poster with the house in it. Dexter is holding a freshly bloodied pitchfork.
- The Dick Van Dyke Show: In "The Masterpiece", Rob and Laura Petrie bought a painting from an auction. They discovered another painting beneath the visible painting. The uncovered painting was revealed to be a different version of "American Gothic" in which the couple was smiling compared with the original version seen in the book in their living room. The reason was, the painted-over painting was a forgery rather than an actual Grant Wood.
- Doctor Who: In "Gridlock", the couple in the Motorway at the start of the episode are based on the couple in the painting, both having identical hairstyles, glasses and fashions.
- In one episode of The Drew Carey Show, during a Halloween party at Drew's workplace, a male and female employee both dressed up as the respective subjects in the famous painting, complete with an oversized picture frame attached to their bodies.
- Eerie, Indiana: In "Mr. Chaney", the parents of the 1979 Harvest King are dressed identically to the couple.
- Green Acres also had the lead couple pose as the couple in the painting during their opening credits.
- After a resemblance was noted between Late Night with Conan O'Brien's host Conan O'Brien and Finland's President Tarja Halonen, occasional gags would pop-up comparing the two; one recurring one would be the two replacing the couple in American Gothic occasionally aired before cutting to a commercial, or as they return.
- On My Name Is Earl, Darnell paints himself and Joy like this.
- In Oz, A Town Without Pity, likenesses of the two prominent figures of the painting are featured in a narrative of how prisons in the US are mostly located in rural area of the country.

- A million dollar question was answered correctly related to the painting on the American version of the popular game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

- With the shattering, a pair of orc NPCs were added into the orc starting area. They stand, completely immobile (as opposed to the majority of other NPCs who breathe and occasionally shift their weight) arranged in custom positions that mimic the painting, and that is all they do.

PLANET SICK-BOY: http://www.sick-boy.com "We Put the SIN in Cinema"
After Wild Wild West, viewers might be understandably apprehensive about a summer film set in the Old West, the mere sight of a tumbleweed striking fear into the hearts of moviegoers ‘round the world. But Shanghai Noon will change the way you feel about the recently maligned genre. Noon not only proves that Jackie Chan's mainstream hit Rush Hour was no fluke, but also looks likely to establish co-star Owen Wilson as one of Hollywood's most likeable comedic stars.
Noon's story is so simplistic that it could have been taken from a video game (in fact, some games are much more complicated). A Chinese Imperial Guard named Chon Wang (Chan, Rush Hour) is sent to the great western frontier of the United States to rescue a beautiful princess (Lucy Liu, Ally McBeal) from working in a railroad slave camp. Along the way, he teams up with a struggling outlaw named Roy O'Bannon (Wilson, The Haunting), who is being chased by a Machiavellian U.S. Marshal.
As in any self-respecting buddy film, Chon Wang (pronounced like `John Wayne') and Roy don't become friends right off the bat. As Noon opens, Roy and his gang of inept cowboys are trying to rob the train that is carrying Chon Wang and his fellow Imperial Guardsmen. It doesn't go down as planned, and Roy ends up buried up to his neck in the desert, while Chon Wang is separated from his group, which is now light approximately one person.
What transpires from that point is a series of fantastic fighting scenes that display Chan's physical prowess, plus enough side-splitting one-liners from Wilson to keep even those that abhor martial arts glued to the screen. There are at least six great fight sequences that, quite frankly, blow away the ones in the highly touted Mission: Impossible 2. And, like many of Chan's other high-kicking extravaganzas, Noon offers outtakes of flubbed lines and stunts gone bad (hey, that sounds like one of Fox's May `sweeps' specials!).
As politically incorrect as any film that I can remember (fun is poked at the Chinese, Native Americans, Jews and the irreverent White Man), Noon also boasts a very funny scene where Roy trains Chon Wang to become a cowboy (to Kid Rock's song of the same name), as well as a very bizarre sequence involving a whorehouse, bubble bath and a Chinese drinking game, the latter of which I was hoping would result in some intoxicated fighting (a la Chan's wickedly cool Drunken Master 2), but unfortunately that dream was never realized.
Noon is the directorial debut of Tom Dey and was written by Miles Millar and Alfred Gough of Lethal Weapon 4 fame. Dey's direction and the co-written script skillfully blend the important elements of action and comedy, but Wilson's deadpan drawl makes the whole picture worthwhile. I couldn't help but wonder how much creative input he had in his own lines, which seem as well written as either of the finely crafted screenplays the actor has penned (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore).
PG-13 for action violence, some drug humor and mild adult language

My buddy had taken maybe 4 shots of whiskey and drank 3 beers. Nothing crazy but, he had a buzz going. When he got home, he was in a very very happy mood. Ya he was buzzed but he knew quite well what was going on. Him and his buddies had gone for a nature walk earlier and smoked some DMT. It was awesome he tells me. So, he decided to load his pipe the same way. He just used the pipe to scoop up a bunch of DMT and BLASTOFF. [He's pretty sure about 100mg got scooped up because of how much he had left before this incident and how much is left now.]
What happened next is so fuzzy...  I guess it knocked him out. When he woke up, he was tripping fairly good. He felt so immobilized. He thought it was just the DMT because he was laying where he normally does while smoking. He thought he had a life/death trip where paramedics arrived and blah blah blah so, he woke up saying 'Dad I'm sorry' over and over again.
When he woke up this morning he spoke to his dad, his dad told him 'you know, you said some really mean things on that shit.' I guess SWIM hit the DMT, fell and hit his head, then went on a rampage trying to fight his father for no reason whatsoever. I guess after that SWIM had gone and laid back down only to pass out and wake up at the point where he was saying 'I'm sorry.'
Now, SWIM knows the alcohol had a good bit to do with it coupled with past issues he's had with his father. I'm sure the hit on the noggin also threw SWIM off (his head still hurts.)
Point is, be very careful with when you choose to smoke DMT. SWIM'S dad almost called 911 yesterday...
I hope you guys take this warning seriously, mainly newcomers.

| DOAJ is entirely not-for-profit and survives solely on contributions. Please take 5 minutes to DONATE to us. Help us to continue contributing to the visibility and dissemination of Open Access research and to making it the default for academic and scholarly publishing. |
Directory of Open Access Journals is a service that provides access to quality controlled Open Access Journals. The Directory aims to be comprehensive and cover all open access scientific and scholarly journals that use an appropriate quality control system, and it will not be limited to particular languages or subject areas. The aim of the Directory is to increase the visibility and ease of use of open access scientific and scholarly journals thereby promoting their increased usage and impact.
Watch a short introductory video:
Open Access Journal:
We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition [1] of "open access" we take the right of users to "read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory for a journal to be included in the directory.
[1] http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read
Quality Control:
The journal must exercise peer-review or editorial quality control to be included.Research Journal:
Journals that report primary results of research or overviews of research results to a scholarly community.
Periodical:
A serial appearing or intended to appear indefinitely at regular intervals, generally more frequently than annually, each issue of which is numbered or dated consecutively and normally contains separate articles, stories, or other writings.
Back to top
Coverage:
Access:
Quality:
Quality control: for a journal to be included it should exercise quality control on submitted papers through an editor, editorial board and/or a peer-review system.
Periodical:
The journal should have an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number, for information see http://www.issn.org).
Back to topSuggestion
We receive a suggestion to include a journal, either from editors or from the public. We check:
When all these things are in place, we send a registration form to the editor.
Verification
Once we receive the filled in form, we check the journal more thoroughly based on the information provided in the registration form.
Registration
The journal is then registered in DOAJ and classified by the DOAJ staff according to Library of CongressÂ´classification schema. The journal is immediately searchable and visible in DOAJ upon registration.
Metadata and archiving
As a final point, we suggest to the editor that he/she provides us with article metadata, in XML format. DOAJ is OAI compliant, and once the article is available in DOAJ, it becomes automatically OAI harvestable.
OAI, Open Archives Initiative, supplies a common framework to web communities that allows them to gain access to content in a standard manner by means of metadata harvesting.
The records in DOAJ contain the following fields:
Journal Title
The title of the journal.
ISSN
The ISSN number of the journal.
EISSN
The EISSN of the journal (in case the journal has one).
Subject
The topic of the journal.
Publisher
The entity responsible for the publishing of the journal.
Country
Country of publication.
Language
Language(s) of the full text articles.
Keywords
Keywords of the topic of the journal.
Start Year
When the journal became electronically available as open access in full text.
End Year (only if it is continued by a new journal)
When the journal ceased to exist.
Use "Find journals" to search for journals included in DOAJ. The system will search through all fields in the record, except subject and year.
Use "Search articles" to search for articles in the journals having DOAJ CONTENT.
You can choose to make your search in any of the following fields:
If you write more than one word in your search query it will be treated as a phrase. You also have the possibility to use the Boolean operators and, or, not.
Back to topYes, based on year this is presented in two lists, showing:
Yes, read more about Self-Archiving and Open Archives in the Southampton Self-Archiving FAQ.
Back to topBecause we have not found any journals in that area yet. Suggestions are welcome, please use our form to suggest a journal for inclusion in DOAJ.
Back to topYes, in the top menu you will find the RSS icon. The RSS feed contains information on journals added last in the last 30 days.
The DOAJ service supports the OAI protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH). Thus, any other service can obtain records from DOAJ for inclusion in their collection. OAI is well established, and easy to use. The base URL is: http://www.doaj.org/oai . You can add most OAI verbs and other commands directly on that. A few examples:
From these URLs you'll get both an idea of what OAI is, and much of our metadata. See also our example.
You have also the possibility to download the list of records in DOAJ in a comma separated format. Then you can import the file to Excel or some other software to use the records further. Do as follows:
The article level metadata can be harvested using OAI protocol.
The base URL is: http://www.doaj.org/oai.article
Use OAI verbs and other command options directly on that.
Example:
Verb: ListRecords&from=2004-07-01&metadataPrefix=oai_dc
http://www.doaj.org/oai.article?verb=ListRecords&from=2004-07-15&metadataPrefix=oai_dc

Note that everything that is free comes with no guarantee.
Back to topMaybe we have not found out about the journal, please use our form to suggest a journal for inclusion in DOAJ. Or the journal unfortunately doesn't match our selection criteria eg. the articles have to be freely available from the publishing date. See selection criteria
Back to topWhen a journal has been added to DOAJ a log in and password is sent to the journal owner. Go to âFor publishersâ at the DOAJ site and login. You have two options to upload the article metadata, either article by article or file by file. The files must conform with DOAJ XML Schema specification, read more about it here.

Step 1:
Choose the Creative Commons License CC-BY license.
In order to qualify for the SPARC Europe Seal you must apply the CC-BY license, which is the most user friendly license, allowing among other things for long-term preservation and text- and data mining.
How to choose the CC-BY license:
Go to the Creative Commons (CC) web site (http://creativecommons.org/about/license) and copy the CC-BY Icon - you might as well consult this: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Before_Licensing .
Put the CC-BY icon on the homepage of your journal(s) and preferably on each article in your journal.
Go to the DOAJ web site (http://www.doaj.org), login to "For journal owners", click on "license info" and choose CC-license for your journal(s).
The CC icon will be shown automatically in DOAJ.
Step 2:

In this step, we will do a clean installation and configuration of the game, which is required for the guide.
A clean installation is not only required to get rid of any potential leftover mod files, but also to make sure the game is installed in a safe location.
Here is what you need to know when choosing where to install your game:
C:\Program Files
, C:\Program Files x86
,
your Desktop
, and your Documents
folders. This is due to Windows UAC (or User Account Control), which heavily monitors and protects
these folders. This can cause many issues with the game and any modding tools. As an example of a safe location, my Steam directory is C:\Games\Steam
.
If you do not have the game installed yet, skip this step.
As the game is available on both Steam and GOG, there are separate instructions here for each version. You obviously only need to follow the directions for the version you have.
For Steam:
Steam\steamapps\common\
and, if present, delete the Fallout New Vegas folderDocuments\My Games
and delete the FalloutNV folderFor GOG:
GOG Galaxy\Games
by default) and, if present, delete the Fallout New Vegas folderDocuments\My Games
and delete the FalloutNV folderIf you already have a Steam library set up outside of any default Windows folder, or you have the game on GOG, skip this step.
A new Steam library needs to be set up to install the game on, as the default library is in a default Windows UAC-protected folder (C:\Program Files x86\Steam
).
C:\Games\Steam
IMPORTANT: By default, Steam only allows one library per drive, but there is a workaround. If for example you already have the default Steam library at C:\Program Files x86\Steam
,
but still want your game on your C:\ drive, you will need to follow these
instructions to do so.
For Steam:
For GOG:
C:\Games\GOG
Key Terminology
Now that the game is installed, there are two folders from it that will be referred to in the guide often:
Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas
GOG Galaxy\Games\Fallout New Vegas
(unless you manually changed the installation path)Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data
GOG Galaxy\Games\Fallout New Vegas\Data
Enabling File Extensions
By default, Windows Explorer will not show file extensions (such as .exe, .dll, or .esp). These extensions are very important when going through the guide, so it is highly recommended to enable file extensions:
Generating Fresh .INI Files
Documents\My Games\FalloutNV
and delete all the files ending in .INI then retry

Welcome
You've found the official page for Team zero Gaming. We're a small eSports team made up of three primary members and a mix of our friends who pop in and out as we play. We started during the pandemic in 2020 when my son thought it would be cool to be on an eSports team but didn't think he would be good enough for it. My response was "Well, lets make our own then," and we did.
Meet the Team!
zeroone4004
The epic leader of Team zero Gaming and the one who started it all. Usually pretty chill but expect some raging if z2 talks him into doing a death run in Fortnite.
Favorite Games: Astroneer, Factorio, Destiny 2, Fortnite \(if z2 is playing\), pretty much every Zelda game, and many more
Zeroone4004, also known as "zero," was the first member of Team zero Gaming. The other two are zero's kids who thought zero's gamertag was awesome and decided to be zerotwo4004 and zerothree4004. Zero plays the widest variety of games including Fortnite, Factorio, Astroneer, Destiny 2, and more. He is the account manager for the Team zero Gaming twitch stream, YouTube channel, and Facebook page.
Zerotwo4004 was the second member to join Team zero Gaming. Usually you can find us playing with two or three other people who are usually friends of z2. Z2 usually plays Fortnite but also plays Minecraft frequently. He sometimes talks zero into playing Minecraft with him too.
zerotwo4004
Son of the original zero. Ofter recruits his friends to play with Team zero. Likes to laugh and have a good time. One of his favorite things is laughing at zero's frustration while doing death runs.
Favorite Games: Fortnite, Minecraft
zerothree4004
The youngest member of Team zero. Decided to follow her brother z2 in the zero naming scheme when choosing her gamer tag. Usually seen sitting with zero rather than playing herself.
Favorite game: Mario Kart
Zerothree4004 is the youngest of the zeros and had been playing with them the least. Zerothree4004 is a brain cancer survivor and started playing with Team zero Gaming during one of her chemo treatments. She is in full remission now. Her game of choice is Mario Kart though she got her start playing with the team by playing Fortnite with zero while he was with her in the hospital.
Rules
So I'm not a big fan of having lots of rules but over time there's a few that we have added just to make sure everyone can have a good time. So whenever you are playing with us please follow this list of rules:
-
Everyone is allowed to play with us
Team zero Gaming was born out of others excluding younger players from joining an eSports team. We didn't like being left out of the fun so we won't do that to anyone else unless you give us a reason to.
-
Respect everyone
We understand that some people are more sensitive than others and eventually even the most careful person says something that will offend someone. Just apologize and move on. Remember if it's not funny for all of us, its not funny. Yes, you'll probably hear zero rage and let our some... colorful language, but cussing out someone who's playing with us isn't ok.
-
Your loot is your loot
So every game is a little different on this but we include it for when it applies. In a game like Fortnite, it's all about who grabs what first. Expecting one person to be the sole owner of a loot crate is unrealistic because individuals who aren't part of Team zero Gaming aren't going to observe that either. In a game like Minecraft though, it can be really frustrating if you spend forever searching for loot, while someone else is just messing around or worse not even online, and you hit the jackpot with loot only for someone who made zero contribution to come and take it without talking to you first. Honestly this should all be assumed with "Respect everyone" but we've has some issues with this.
So really to sum it all up, basically "Respect everyone" is our only rule. The other two are specific applications of that rule that we have encountered problems with in the past. We hope to not make this list longer but reserve the right to block anyone at any time for any reason though we rarely ever do. Have fun playing
Games We Play
Fortnite
Fortnite is a battle royal game. Usually you can find us playing in Duos, Squads, or Team Rumble game modes and occasionally on the weekends well join kfen in his custom tournaments. This is our most played game on stream because it's free to play so z2's friends can all play with us and it's cartoon like style makes it a bit more friendly for the younger players who play with us.
Minecraft
Minecraft is one of z2's favorite games. Minecraft has a lot of gathering resources and building things. While not a free game this one is pretty common with younger players so again we can play it with z2's friends
Destiny 2
Destiny 2 is a first person shooter MMO. Destiny isn't as kiddy as some of the other games we play but the goal of Team zero Gaming is allowing anyone to play with us not being a kids team. This is zero's game of choice though you won't often find him in the PVP matches. He prefers the PVE events and story levels.
More...
This is just a short list of some of the games we play. As we continue to grow and evolve we will for sure add to our games too.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.16018 of 2019 ====================================================== Dr. Renu Kumari ... ... Petitioner/s Versus Union of India ... ... Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr.Apurva Kumar, Adv. Mr. Avinash Chandra, Adv. Mr. Kumar Vikram, Adv. For the Respondent/s : Mr.Y.P. Sinha, AAG-7 Mr. Shankar Kumar, AC to AAG-7 For the BPSCB : Mr. Shivendra Kishore, Sr. Adv. Mr. Parijat Saurav, Adv. For the Respondent No. 16 : Mr. Uday Bhan Singh, Adv. For the Respondent No. 9 : Mr. Yashraj Bardhan, Adv. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER
(Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) 4 29-01-2020 From the action plan of Air Control Pollution annexed as a document prepared by the Bihar State Pollution Control Board, it is apparent that the timeline for achieving the target of restricting plying of commercial diesel vehicles; introducing vehicles of thinner fuel i.e. CNG /LPG; ban on registration of diesel driven auto-rickshaw/ tempo; regulation and consumption of traffic of commercial vehicles; adoption of cleaner technology for brick kilns at five blocks of Patna; etc. is over. Yet, as we infer from the affidavit filed by the authorities, save and except from issuing directions, no work at the ground level Patna High Court CWJC No.16018 of 2019(4) dt.29-01-2020 2/3 in checking and regulating air pollution stands taken by the authorities.
Illustratively, out of 716 units inspected by the authorities stipulated under the Bihar State Pollution Control Board, 137 units were found to be still in operation, despite issuance of closure directions. 415 units were found to have been closed and as to whether, they are now illegally carrying out any activity in violation of the provisions of the Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 or not is not evident from the record. No Inspections were carried out.
Out of 716 units, only 164 units were found to be plaint under the provisions of law.
The affidavit is conspicuously silent with regard to the action taken report on the action plan prepared by the Air Pollution Control Board.
What steps stand taken for introducing vehicles, using thinner fuels has not been disclosed by the State, though from the affidavit filed by the Respondent No. 16, namely, Gas Authority of Indian Limited (GAIL), it is clear that only 3 retail outlets stands established in Patna city. It appears that for monitoring and implementation of the provisions of the statute, for checking air pollution, an Advisory Committee stands Patna High Court CWJC No.16018 of 2019(4) dt.29-01-2020 3/3 constituted and the Bihar State Pollution Control Board is to coordinate with the department of Environment and Forest, Urban Development & Housing Department, Transport Department of Government of Bihar and the Municipal Corporation, Patna.
Let the latest report of the said monitoring committee dealing with each of the aspects indicated in the action plan be placed on record within a period of two weeks from today.
List this case on 17.2.2020.

A small collection of simple pages that can be tested on various devices. Each page has its own stand-alone CSS file for easy copying.
I have found that using as few declarations as possible for margin
and padding
is a great help. We often need to adjust margin
and padding
in the media queries, so the less we need to change, the easier it is. In some cases, for a simple vertical stack of elements, we won't need any left/right padding
or margin
at all — except in the rule for body
.
As a rule of thumb, get the page laid out and behaving as you want it to behave without changing any margin
or padding
. Then try and see whether you can solve all the issues by changing only the rule for body
. If you have a container or wrapper element of some kind on the page, trying styling that next. Sometimes you will find it helpful to add such an element for precisely this purprose. A container can be a div
, an article
or a section
. It might be your grid or flexbox container.
For optimal readability, line lengths should not exceed 60 to 70 characters. The following line helps us test that quickly.

Trump appeals court nominee in jeopardy following Republican revolt
by Matthew Daly, The Associated PressWASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump's nominee for a federal appeals court is in jeopardy following a conservative revolt from two Republican senators who have said publicly they won't support him.
Trump nominated federal judge Halil "Sul" Ozerden of Mississippi to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in June. The New Orleans-based court handles cases from Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
The Senate Judiciary Committee says it removed Ozerden from a planned vote Thursday at the request of the White House. A White House spokesman declined to comment.
Ozerden, a close ally of White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, faces opposition from Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri. The GOP senators have questioned Ozerden's dismissal of a lawsuit challenging President Barack Obama's health care law.
