Pokémon is a series of video games developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company as part of the Pokémon media franchise. Created by Satoshi Tajiri with assistance from Ken Sugimori,the first games released in 1996 in Japan for the Game Boy, and the main series of role-playing video games (RPGs), also referred as the "core series" by their developers
Let us know some pokemon types.
Water is one of the three basic elemental types along with Fire and Grass, which constitute the three starter Pokémon. This creates a simple triangle to explain the type concept easily to new players. Water is the most common type with over 100 Pokémon, which are based on a wide variety of fish and other sea-dwelling creatures.
Fire is one of the three basic elemental types along with Water and Grass, which constitute the three starter Pokémon. This creates a simple triangle to explain the type concept easily to new players. Fire types are notoriously rare in the early stages of the games so choosing the Fire variation starter is often a plus.
Grass is one of the three basic elemental types along with Fire and Water, which constitute the three starter Pokémon. This creates a simple triangle to explain the type concept easily to new players.Grass is one of the weakest types statistically, with 5 defensive weaknesses and 7 types that are resistant to Grass moves.
The AR game's potential for weight loss was a big part of that discussion. In the process of getting out their doors and visiting parks, players found they were losing weight almost in spite of themselves. A Reddit Pokémon Go fan won acclaim for reporting that he'd lost 65 pounds between July and December.
Pokémon GO is one of the most successful mobile games of all time, breaking records like fastest to earn $100 million and most-downloaded in its first month of release. To date, it has grossed almost $2 billion in revenue and been downloaded 800 million times. Although no longer the global phenomenon it was in 2016, the game remains incredibly popular.
"Greninja is the final evolution of Pokémon X and Y water-type starter Froakie. It has the ability to take on an appearance resembling its trainer. Pokedex says: Greninja creates throwing stars out of compressed water. When it spins them and throws them at high speed, these stars can split metal in two."
"Lucario is a bipedal, wolf-like Pokémon with blue, cream, and black fur. It is considered to be prideful and loyal to its trainer. Pokedex says: By catching the aura emanating from others, Lucario can read their thoughts and movements."
"Mimikyu caused quite a stir for its peculiar looks and sad backstory when it was originally announced for Pokémon Sun and Moon in 2016. Mimikyu is described as a Pokémon who felt so lonely that it decided to wear a rag in order to look like Pikachu, everyone’s favorite Pokémon. Pokedex says: Its actual appearance is unknown. A scholar who saw what was under its rag was overwhelmed by terror and died from the shock."
"Charizard is an orange draconic Pokémon who has a fiery temper. It is the final evolution of Charmander, one of the starter Pokémon for the original game. Pokedex says: Charizard flies around the sky in search of powerful opponents. It breathes fire of such great heat that it melts anything. However, it never turns its fiery breath on any opponent weaker than itself. "
Pokémon battles appear in most forms of Pokémon media, being the central gameplay aspect of the core series games, as well as being a constant focus of the anime.
Pokémon Go's Types are exactly the same as those in the main Pokémon games, but the effect of those type matchups is slightly different: in brief, things like effective or resisted attacks have slightly different multipliers to the main Pokémon games - although a December 2018 update brought them slightly closer in line.
| Type | Atrong Against | Weak Against | Resistant To |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | None | Rock, Ghost, Steel | Ghost |
| Fighting | Normal, Rock, Steel, Ice, Dark | Flying, Poison, Psychic, Bug, Ghost, Fairy | Rock, Bug, Dark |
| Flying | Fighting, Bug, Grass | Rock, Steel, Electric | Fighting, Ground, Bug, Grass |
| Poison | Grass, Fairy | Poison, Ground, Rock, Ghost, Steel | Fighting, Poison, Fairy, Grass |
| Ground | Poison, Rock, Steel, Fire, Electric | Flying, Bug, Grass | Poison, Rock, Electric |
Pokémon Go in 2020 continues to add new features, such the arrival of the Go Battle League, Remote Raids and the trade evolution feature. There are also planned changes to PokéCoins on the way. Meanwhile, coming soon is the Johto Throwback quest.
Greninja
It is the final evolution of Froakie, the Water-type starter from Kaios.
"Ash Ketchum, known as Satoshi in Japan, is a fictional character in the Pokémon franchise owned by Nintendo. He is the protagonist of the Pokémon anime and certain manga series as well as on various merchandise related to the franchise. In Japanese, the character is voiced by Rika Matsumoto, and Hana Takeda. "
"Lance is a recurring character in Pokémon. He is a user of Dragon-types being the final Elite Four member in Red, Blue and their remakes. In Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal and their remakes, he is the Champion.Lance has appeared in the Pokémon series games from Generation I-III. He first appeared in the original Red and Blue games, being the final member of the Elite Four, and again in Generation III's Red and Blue remakes, FireRed and LeafGreen. Lance in the Generation II games differed from the previous though, as he was Pokémon Champion by this time. "
"Cynthia is a powerful Pokémon trainer and the Champion of the Sinnoh region where Professor Carolina, Cynthia's grandmother, runs the Pokémon Research Lab in Celestic Town. She enjoys visiting the Solaceon Town Ruins. Later, in Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles, she helps fight Team Galactic as well. In the anime, she has a villa in east Unova but in the Pokémon Black and White games, she borrows Caitlin's villa (from the Elite Four). "
"Ookido Yukinari Hakaseamuel Oak is most notable for his vast research facility, where he cares for and studies hundreds of Pokémon, including those owned by, but not currently traveling with, Trainers from Pallet Town. He has confidence in his grandson, Gary Oak, but more often joins Ash's mother and friends in cheering on Ash in his competitions. "

QEMU TPM Device¶
Guest-side hardware interface¶
TIS interface¶
The QEMU TPM emulation implements a TPM TIS hardware interface following the Trusted Computing Group’s specification “TCG PC Client Specific TPM Interface Specification (TIS)”, Specification Version 1.3, 21 March 2013. (see the TIS specification, or a later version of it).
The TIS interface makes a memory mapped IO region in the area 0xfed40000-0xfed44fff available to the guest operating system.
- QEMU files related to TPM TIS interface:
hw/tpm/tpm_tis_common.c
hw/tpm/tpm_tis_isa.c
hw/tpm/tpm_tis_sysbus.c
hw/tpm/tpm_tis.h
Both an ISA device and a sysbus device are available. The former is used with pc/q35 machine while the latter can be instantiated in the Arm virt machine.
CRB interface¶
QEMU also implements a TPM CRB interface following the Trusted Computing Group’s specification “TCG PC Client Platform TPM Profile (PTP) Specification”, Family “2.0”, Level 00 Revision 01.03 v22, May 22, 2017. (see the CRB specification, or a later version of it)
The CRB interface makes a memory mapped IO region in the area 0xfed40000-0xfed40fff (1 locality) available to the guest operating system.
- QEMU files related to TPM CRB interface:
hw/tpm/tpm_crb.c
SPAPR interface¶
pSeries (ppc64) machines offer a tpm-spapr device model.
- QEMU files related to the SPAPR interface:
hw/tpm/tpm_spapr.c
fw_cfg interface¶
The bios/firmware may read the "etc/tpm/config"
fw_cfg entry for
configuring the guest appropriately.
The entry of 6 bytes has the following content, in little-endian:
#define TPM_VERSION_UNSPEC 0
#define TPM_VERSION_1_2 1
#define TPM_VERSION_2_0 2
#define TPM_PPI_VERSION_NONE 0
#define TPM_PPI_VERSION_1_30 1
struct FwCfgTPMConfig {
uint32_t tpmppi_address; /* PPI memory location */
uint8_t tpm_version; /* TPM version */
uint8_t tpmppi_version; /* PPI version */
};
ACPI interface¶
The TPM device is defined with ACPI ID “PNP0C31”. QEMU builds a SSDT and passes it into the guest through the fw_cfg device. The device description contains the base address of the TIS interface 0xfed40000 and the size of the MMIO area (0x5000). In case a TPM2 is used by QEMU, a TPM2 ACPI table is also provided. The device is described to be used in polling mode rather than interrupt mode primarily because no unused IRQ could be found.
To support measurement logs to be written by the firmware, e.g. SeaBIOS, a TCPA table is implemented. This table provides a 64kb buffer where the firmware can write its log into. For TPM 2 only a more recent version of the TPM2 table provides support for measurements logs and a TCPA table does not need to be created.
The TCPA and TPM2 ACPI tables follow the Trusted Computing Group specification “TCG ACPI Specification” Family “1.2” and “2.0”, Level 00 Revision 00.37. (see the ACPI specification, or a later version of it)
ACPI PPI Interface¶
QEMU supports the Physical Presence Interface (PPI) for TPM 1.2 and TPM 2. This interface requires ACPI and firmware support. (see the PPI specification)
PPI enables a system administrator (root) to request a modification to the TPM upon reboot. The PPI specification defines the operation requests and the actions the firmware has to take. The system administrator passes the operation request number to the firmware through an ACPI interface which writes this number to a memory location that the firmware knows. Upon reboot, the firmware finds the number and sends commands to the TPM. The firmware writes the TPM result code and the operation request number to a memory location that ACPI can read from and pass the result on to the administrator.
The PPI specification defines a set of mandatory and optional operations for the firmware to implement. The ACPI interface also allows an administrator to list the supported operations. In QEMU the ACPI code is generated by QEMU, yet the firmware needs to implement support on a per-operations basis, and different firmwares may support a different subset. Therefore, QEMU introduces the virtual memory device for PPI where the firmware can indicate which operations it supports and ACPI can enable the ones that are supported and disable all others. This interface lies in main memory and has the following layout:

include/hw/acpi/tpm.h
TPM backend devices¶
The TPM implementation is split into two parts, frontend and backend. The frontend part is the hardware interface, such as the TPM TIS interface described earlier, and the other part is the TPM backend interface. The backend interfaces implement the interaction with a TPM device, which may be a physical or an emulated device. The split between the front- and backend devices allows a frontend to be connected with any available backend. This enables the TIS interface to be used with the passthrough backend or the swtpm backend.
- QEMU files related to TPM backends:
backends/tpm.c
include/sysemu/tpm.h
include/sysemu/tpm_backend.h
The QEMU TPM passthrough device¶
In case QEMU is run on Linux as the host operating system it is possible to make the hardware TPM device available to a single QEMU guest. In this case the user must make sure that no other program is using the device, e.g., /dev/tpm0, before trying to start QEMU with it.
The passthrough driver uses the host’s TPM device for sending TPM commands and receiving responses from. Besides that it accesses the TPM device’s sysfs entry for support of command cancellation. Since none of the state of a hardware TPM can be migrated between hosts, virtual machine migration is disabled when the TPM passthrough driver is used.
Since the host’s TPM device will already be initialized by the host’s
firmware, certain commands, e.g. TPM_Startup()
, sent by the
virtual firmware for device initialization, will fail. In this case
the firmware should not use the TPM.
Sharing the device with the host is generally not a recommended usage scenario for a TPM device. The primary reason for this is that two operating systems can then access the device’s single set of resources, such as platform configuration registers (PCRs). Applications or kernel security subsystems, such as the Linux Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA), are not expecting to share PCRs.
- QEMU files related to the TPM passthrough device:
backends/tpm/tpm_passthrough.c
backends/tpm/tpm_util.c
include/sysemu/tpm_util.h
Command line to start QEMU with the TPM passthrough device using the host’s
hardware TPM /dev/tpm0
:

-m 1024 -boot d -bios bios-256k.bin -boot menu=on \
-tpmdev passthrough,id=tpm0,path=/dev/tpm0 \
-device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 test.img
The following commands should result in similar output inside the VM with a Linux kernel that either has the TPM TIS driver built-in or available as a module:
# dmesg | grep -i tpm

The QEMU TPM emulator device¶
The TPM emulator device uses an external TPM emulator called ‘swtpm’ for sending TPM commands to and receiving responses from. The swtpm program must have been started before trying to access it through the TPM emulator with QEMU.
The TPM emulator implements a command channel for transferring TPM commands and responses as well as a control channel over which control commands can be sent. (see the SWTPM protocol specification)
The control channel serves the purpose of resetting, initializing, and migrating the TPM state, among other things.
The swtpm program behaves like a hardware TPM and therefore needs to be initialized by the firmware running inside the QEMU virtual machine. One necessary step for initializing the device is to send the TPM_Startup command to it. SeaBIOS, for example, has been instrumented to initialize a TPM 1.2 or TPM 2 device using this command.
- QEMU files related to the TPM emulator device:

Migration with the TPM emulator¶
The TPM emulator supports the following types of virtual machine migration:
VM save / restore (migration into a file)
Network migration
Snapshotting (migration into storage like QoW2 or QED)
The following command sequences can be used to test VM save / restore.
In a 1st terminal start an instance of a swtpm using the following command:
mkdir /tmp/mytpm1
swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/mytpm1 \
--ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
--log level=20 --tpm2
In a 2nd terminal start the VM:
qemu-system-x86_64 -display sdl -accel kvm \
-m 1024 -boot d -bios bios-256k.bin -boot menu=on \
-chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
-tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm \
-device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \
-monitor stdio \
test.img
Verify that the attached TPM is working as expected using applications inside the VM.
To store the state of the VM use the following command in the QEMU monitor in the 2nd terminal:
(qemu) migrate "exec:cat > testvm.bin"
(qemu) quit
At this point a file called testvm.bin
should exists and the swtpm
and QEMU processes should have ended.
To test ‘VM restore’ you have to start the swtpm with the same parameters as before. If previously a TPM 2 [–tpm2] was saved, –tpm2 must now be passed again on the command line.
In the 1st terminal restart the swtpm with the same command line as before:
swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/mytpm1 \
--ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
--log level=20 --tpm2
In the 2nd terminal restore the state of the VM using the additional ‘-incoming’ option.
qemu-system-x86_64 -display sdl -accel kvm \
-m 1024 -boot d -bios bios-256k.bin -boot menu=on \
-chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
-tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm \
-device tpm-tis,tpmdev=tpm0 \
-incoming "exec:cat < testvm.bin" \
test.img
Troubleshooting migration¶
There are several reasons why migration may fail. In case of problems, please ensure that the command lines adhere to the following rules and, if possible, that identical versions of QEMU and swtpm are used at all times.
VM save and restore:
QEMU command line parameters should be identical apart from the ‘-incoming’ option on VM restore
swtpm command line parameters should be identical
VM migration to ‘localhost’:
QEMU command line parameters should be identical apart from the ‘-incoming’ option on the destination side
swtpm command line parameters should point to two different directories on the source and destination swtpm (–tpmstate dir=…) (especially if different versions of libtpms were to be used on the same machine).
VM migration across the network:
QEMU command line parameters should be identical apart from the ‘-incoming’ option on the destination side
swtpm command line parameters should be identical
- VM Snapshotting:
QEMU command line parameters should be identical
swtpm command line parameters should be identical
Besides that, migration failure reasons on the swtpm level may include the following:
the versions of the swtpm on the source and destination sides are incompatible
downgrading of TPM state may not be supported
the source and destination libtpms were compiled with different compile-time options and the destination side refuses to accept the state
different migration keys are used on the source and destination side and the destination side cannot decrypt the migrated state (swtpm … –migration-key … )

After looking at WebShaman's melee mage guide, I wanted to make a strength based gnome one. I am a bit unsure of how I should set up the starting stats, primarily due to the -2 to strength and my wanting to keep 18 intelligence.
What do you think would be the best way to set up a gnome melee wizard's stats?
Simplest thing is to drop STR to 13, and keep everything else the same. You'll still qualify for cleave. Given that you'll be using BS ASAP, and constantly, an odd number doesn't seem that unfortunate.
Wait a sec... actually, can't you keep the same stats? Bah, now you're making me count.
Yah, same stats.
What do you mean by "same stats"? if I dropped strength to 13 then I could get either con:16 and int:17, or con:14 and int 18. Neither of witch are on WebShaman's thread.
Eh, it doesn't matter. Thanks for the help, I think i'm going with str:13 dex:10 con:14 wis:8 int:18 cha:8
Yah, my counting was off.
How about
STR 13 DEX 8 CON 16 INT 18 WIS 8 CHA 8
Or, what you have. Assuming you're gonna strap on full plate, I'd be willing to deal w/ the lower DEX. Either way though. Aint a huge difference.
I prefer to not have a negative than to have 1 more hp per level. But like you said, it doesn't make that much of a difference. Also, the full plate doesn't get added until epic levels, and during the early levels that one extra AC seems important.

Map property names to property references.
If your logger is handling any property, you can just iterate over them, if you need specific ones, you can call them by their name.
This holds reference to optionals, so to get the actual value of a property, you should:
at(…)
and not operator[]
,get()
on the returned element,value()
to get it. You can directly test if the property actually has a valid value:

About My name is Federico, I'm 20 and I'm currently studying Communication Design in Milan. I've always been passionate and fascinated by almost everything creative you can do with a computer, may it be video editing, programming, page layouts, graphics and so on.
What strikes me most about these things is the ability of the artworks to tell a story even if they have no words in them. I like stories a lot and I spend most of the time left from university reading books and watching movies or TV series, sometimes even trying to write something myself.


China will not tolerate any Taiwan independence incidents: defense spokesman
BEIJING (Reuters) - China will not tolerate any Taiwan independence incidents, a spokesman for its defense ministry said on Monday, urging the United States to deal appropriately with the issue.
The spokesman, Wu Qian, made the comments at a news briefing following a meeting of Chinese and U.S. military officials on the sidelines of defense talks in the Thai capital of Bangkok.
The defense ministry of self-ruled Taiwan said a Chinese carrier ship passed through the Taiwan Strait on Sunday, tailed by U.S. and Japanese ships. China has never ruled out the use of force to reunite what it regards as a wayward province.
(This story has been refiled to correct paragraph 3 spelling of “tailed”)

Shaq Lawson Went Off On Denver OL Connor McGovern After Game ‘You Remember Me Now’ (VIDEO)
by Darrelle LincolnWith all the talk about certain winning teams around the league, not many people are paying attention to the Buffalo Bills.
The team sits comfortably at 8-3 following a 20-3 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
During that game, Shaq Lawson had two of Buffalo’s four sacks and he wanted somebody on the Denver offensive line to know it.
During the post-game handshake, Lawson approached Denver o-lineman Connor McGovern after the lineman stated he had never heard of him.
Lawson made sure he knew about him now.
“First of all, they were talking junk,’’ said Lawson after he pulled on a sweatshirt reading “Buffalo vs. Everybody.’’
“That’s my thing, I talk junk. You can’t out-junk me. I like that stuff. To start the game, I think it was No. 60 (center Connor McGovern), he goes ‘I haven’t remembered you since college.’ I said, ‘I bet I show you.’ ’’

Today was my first day as an official NASA intern - complete with security inspections, badge registration, and - of course - a tour of the zero gravity facility. Most job orientations might sound boring, but NASA does not disappoint.
I spent half of the day learning about NASA's regulations with the twenty other interns and the other (more interesting!) half exploring the NASA campus and my department - Graphics and Visualization. The Glenn Research Center is enormous and exceedingly impressive. Doing the facility justice will take several posts, so I will keep this one dedicated to fast facts about the GRC campus.
The NASA Glenn Research Center boasted 150 employees in 1950. Today, there are over 3,000, and the GRC welcomes a new group of interns each semester. The facility offers amenities including a cafeteria, fitness center, daycare, soccer field, and the ever-important NASA merchandise store. After work, NASA employess participate in a range of GRC-hosted activities: jogging, golf, women's support group, tai chi, and even concert band!
The hundreds of labs and experiments at the GRC require a significant amount of energy. Each day the GRC receives 370 megawatts of power - more than a small town. The facility can only run its wind tunnels at night because of the large toll on the power company during the day.
Although it utilizes a baffling amount of power, the GRC is certainly environmentally conscious. The center places recycling cans all across campus and strongly encourages employees to reduce waste. One of the newest buildings at the GRC even has a lawn on the roof, which reduces energy use through improved insulation.
My department, Graphics and Visualization (GVIS), focuses on scientific visualization through simulations and educational programs. GVIS houses several futuristic technologies such as CAVE (Computer Automatic Virtual Environment) and zSpace, as well as headsets such as the Microsoft HoloLens, Oculus Rift, and HTC Vive. Look for later posts on these incredible devices!
With my first day at NASA complete, I happily go home to my roommates' five cats. I am anxious to start work tomorrow and update this blog with even more NASA fun. Thank you for supporting me in the first part of my journey. Let's see where it takes us!

DYMO Label Framework JavaScript Library Samples: Preview and Print Label
This sample shows how new DYMO Label Connect JavaScript Library can be used to display a label preview as well as loading label from a local file and print it. This sample demonsrates:
Using dymo.label.framework.openLabelXml() and openLabelFile() to load label definition for further manipulation
label.getAddressText() and setAddressText() to read and set address information on a Address object
label.render() to generate label preview
dymo.label.framework.getPrinters() to get information about installed DYMO printers
label.print() to print the label
Note: the preview does not work in Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. We encourage to use Google Chrome.
Some browsers are not able to return the full path to try to open file, in this case, label will be loaded from predetermined XML.

Syntax:
revappend list tail => result-list
nreconc list tail => result-list
Arguments and Values:
list---a proper list.
tail---an object.
result-list---an object.
Description:
revappend constructs a copy[2] of list, but with the elements in reverse order. It then appends (as if by nconc) the tail to that reversed list and returns the result.
nreconc reverses the order of elements in list (as if by nreverse). It then appends (as if by nconc) the tail to that reversed list and returns the result.
The resulting list shares list structure with tail.
Examples:
(let ((list-1 (list 1 2 3)) (list-2 (list 'a 'b 'c))) (print (revappend list-1 list-2)) (print (equal list-1 '(1 2 3))) (print (equal list-2 '(a b c)))) >> (3 2 1 A B C) >> T >> T => T (revappend '(1 2 3) '()) => (3 2 1) (revappend '(1 2 3) '(a . b)) => (3 2 1 A . B) (revappend '() '(a b c)) => (A B C) (revappend '(1 2 3) 'a) => (3 2 1 . A) (revappend '() 'a) => A ;degenerate case (let ((list-1 '(1 2 3)) (list-2 '(a b c))) (print (nreconc list-1 list-2)) (print (equal list-1 '(1 2 3))) (print (equal list-2 '(a b c)))) >> (3 2 1 A B C) >> NIL >> T => T
Side Effects:
revappend does not modify either of its arguments. nreconc is permitted to modify list but not tail.
Although it might be implemented differently, nreconc is constrained to have side-effect behavior equivalent to:
(nconc (nreverse list) tail)
Affected By: None.
Exceptional Situations: None.
See Also:
Notes:
The following functional equivalences are true, although good implementations will typically use a faster algorithm for achieving the same effect:
(revappend list tail) == (nconc (reverse list) tail) (nreconc list tail) == (nconc (nreverse list) tail)

Hi Chris,
Yep, I came to same conclusion after answering Kish, so I just added it to
the trunk.

The easiest way to implement this is as follows:
If the second array is longer, just truncate it to the length of the first.
If the first array is longer, truncate it to the length of the first and
change the lex<= constraint to a lex< (assuming gecode has a lex<
constraint).
If you don't have a lex< constraint, you can make one by sticking 1 on the
end of the first array and 0 on the end of the second (once the arrays are
the same length).

UK weather: Warnings as freezing fog and more flooding set to smash into -9C Britain
More extreme weather on the way
by Joseph Wilkes, Emma GrimshawDangerous freezing fog will blanket Britain today as more flooding is expected to hit large parts of the UK.
A yellow weather warning for freezing fog has been issued between 4am to 11am today (Tuesday).
And 42 flood warnings remain in place, many of which relate to rivers in the Midlands and Yorkshire, reports the Mirror.
Following heavy rainfall last week, some parts of Yorkshire are still submerged underwater.
Motorists are being urged to expect "slower journey times with delays to bus and train services possible," due to the fog.
The worst-affected areas include most of the Midlands, Home Counties and southeast of England. Temperatures in these regions will struggle to exceed 5C.
The Met Office warns: "Travelling in fog can be extremely dangerous. Fog can drift rapidly and is often patchy."
Advice for road users when travelling in fog
- Avoid travel if possible
- Drive very slowly with dipped headlights, full-beam lights reflect off the fog causing a 'white wall' effect
- Keep an eye on your speed, fog can give the illusion of moving in slow motion
- Use fog lights, but remember to turn them off when the visibility improves
- Don't hang on the tail lights of the car in front, rear lights can give a false sense of security
- Watch out for freezing fog which is made of water droplets that freeze on contact with objects such as the pavement, road, car, etc. It can quickly form a layer of ice.
Wednesday will see variable cloud cover with bright spells and a few spots of rain or drizzle, though the south-west and Northern Ireland will see rain more persistent in nature.
Temperatures will plunge below 0C again on Wednesday night.
Thursday promises to be a damp day for Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England, although it should be largely dry elsewhere.
Bristol will escape the worst of the weather, with lows of just 1C. By Friday, temperatures are expected to climb up to double figures again in our city when the mercury peaks at 10C.
Met Office weather forecast:
Tuesday:
Fog gradually lifting during the morning with bright or sunny spells developing. Rain arriving over Northern Ireland may affect the far west of mainland UK later. Still cold for most.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Turning increasingly unsettled from the southwest with showers or longer spells of rain, heaviest in southwest England and south Wales. Windy at times but temperatures recovering to nearer normal.

Deleting text
The simplest deletion command is x. It deletes the character under the caret. A count before deletes that many characters, e.g. 10x deletes 10 characters. Similarly, the X command deletes one character to the left of the caret.
The D command deletes from the current location to the end of the line.
The d command is an operator and thus must be combined with a motion command.
The c (change) command is similar to the d command, but also enters insert mode.

Defintion: a grant is a kind of financial aid that you don't have to pay back (aka Gift Aid).
Federal and state governments are sources of gift aid.The federal government is the largest source of need-based gift aid, primarily in the form of the Pell Grant.
State governments often fund grants and scholarships for residents attending state colleges. Many colleges offer grants and scholarships to their students. These may be merit or need based, or a combination.
Colleges may be stricter requirements for keeping a scholarship than do other sources of scholarships.
Many companies, foundations, community organizations and clubs sponsor grants or scholarships. Grants and scholarships from these private organizations are called outside, or private, scholarships.
Here are some examples of possible sources of outside scholarships: your parents’ employers or labor unions, your family’s religious center, and other organizations
Defintion: A loan is borrowing money that you have to pay back with interest. Some federal loans let you defer — or delay — paying the loan back until after you graduate.
Interest: The interest rate is the cost of borrowing money, and is usually a percentage of the loan that is added to the amount you borrow. The higher your interest rate, the more you'll owe over time.
Need-based: Aid that is need-based is awarded to students who are determined to have financial need; that is, the amount they are able to pay for college is less than the cost of attending the college.
Federal Direct Subsidized Loans are interest-free while you're in college and have a borrowing limit that increases for each year of school you complete.
Non Need-Based Loans: Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans charge interest, but allow you to add the interest fees to the amount you borrow until after graduation. However, doing this means you’ll actually end up owing more. Federal Direct PLUS Loans allow parents (or graduate students) to borrow the total cost of college, minus any financial aid received.
Subsidized: Some federal loans are subsidized, which means the government pays the interest on the loan while you're in college.
Private Loans: are not subsidized or need-based. They often require a cosigner — someone who promises to repay the money if the student fails to do so. The interest rates of private loans vary. Banks and other financial institutions usually have the highest interest rates. Some private organizations, foundations, and colleges offer lower interest rates.


Simple Interest.
If you invest a principle at an APR (written as a decimal) for a given number of years, the investment will now be worth:
\begin{equation*}
amount = principle*(1 + APR*Time)
\end{equation*}
This can also be written, using variables, as
\begin{equation*}
A = P(1 + r*t)
\end{equation*}
Here, \(A\) is the amount the investment is worth, \(p\) is the principle, \(r\) is the APR (written as a decimal), and \(t\) is the amount of time that the loan is made for.

I forget what it was I posted for, but apparently some sort of writing job. At some point I thought it was an interesting idea to attempt to outsource blog writing, so this was probably posted in the writing or computer gigs.
If it just seems like its a nice girl named Ava helping me out, the important thing to notice is that the actual url your browser will take you to if you click on "odesk.com" is "http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-4214911-10739635".
It is a common technique for marketers to use unique urls embedded in various lead generation avenues to be able to track each source uniquely. Typical nice girls named Ava who are just trying to help don't have a use for that.

FIRST READING 1 Peter 4:7-11
Beloved: Keep sane and sober for your prayers. Above
all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of
sins. Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another. As each has received a
gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever
speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who
renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God
may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen.

If I were to ask you, “What perspective does a college student provide?” you might reply, “a heavily indebted one,” or “one damaged irreparably by an introductory philosophy class.” In other words, you might not actively look for life advice from college students.
Although I agree college students should not be your go-to source for financial advice or spiritual guidance, they can provide valuable advice about succeeding in the transition from high school to college.
When I was making this transition myself, I relied on reports from my high school friends, family, and guidance counselors. Although all of these parties gave me valuable advice, I was still lacked information in three important areas:
If I had a college student to advise me in these three areas, I would have saved myself a lot of time and stress. Luckily, that’s what In Your Shoes is here for.
Choosing Extracurriculars
Almost as soon as I began high school, people around me began to advise me to do things because they were “good for college.” Following this advice, I ended up sinking time into activities that I had no interest in. For example, I signed on as a founder of the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) Club although I knew that the club wouldn’t amount to much. We had neither the resources nor the expertise to perform any transformations. As a result, we’d get together every Thursday morning only to watch YouTube videos and eat donuts. Although there were many other activities that would have been better preparation for college, I chose to stick with the club because I lacked a proper understanding of what colleges really look for.
When my friends and I started to hear back from colleges, many of my friends who solely pursued activities “for college,” underperformed. Simply putting something on your resume did not mean much unless you derived meaningful experience from that extra curricular. Had my iGEM club completed an interesting genetic transformation or won a competition, it would have meant something to colleges. Instead, it just took up otherwise meaningful space on my resume. At the end of the day, unless you can tell a story about your accomplishments, they are not accomplishments at all.
I was able to see this clearly once my friends and I heard back from schools with competitive application processes. As they say, hindsight is 20-20. College students have first hand knowledge of what kind of extracurriculars are valued, which they can pass along to you. Instead of waiting to look back on your mistakes like us, you can rely on In Your Shoes to decipher the college application process.
Assessing a School’s Subcultures
This year, the average high school population was 525 students, whereas the average college population was 6,365 students. That means that you could fit the students of over 12 average high schools into one average college. Even though I went to a high school with a student body that was far larger than average (~1,200 students), I still felt that the culture was fairly homogeneous. There was a clear social hierarchy and shared group interests. The same cannot be said for the vast majority of colleges; there are simply too many students. Each college has a wide variety of different subcultures, from the hippies to business majors, and it's very hard to discover those subcultures from outside of the student body.
If you visit a college the tour guide will likely tell you about the school’s ‘culture.’ That culture will most likely be the most publicly presentable version of the school’s actual culture. The tour guides are told how to describe the lifestyle by the college’s admissions department, leaving little wiggle room for the tour guide’s real opinions. Even if the narrative provided by the admissions department is correct, it is only one narrative and is not reflective of the school’s entire range of niches.
Meanwhile, college students have lived in and likely transitioned between these niches, meaning that they can act as your secret agents at a school. They can get to know your interests and let you know where you’ll best fit in, what clubs you should join, or what major is best for you.
Structuring Your Life for Success
I know when I was in high school, my day was structured from 7:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., at which point I would typically do homework until I went to sleep. In college, the average student only takes 15 credit hours of class per week, meaning that you have a lot of free time to wrestle with. The trade off of having such a small amount of time in class is that you have a lot more work outside of class (schools say you are supposed to do 3 hours of work out of class for every hour of work in class). Without a set schedule, this work can pile up and you can be left feeling unhappy about what you’ve accomplished.
Coming up with an efficient schedule can take a lot of trial and error. For me, it means exercising early in the morning before class, finding places in lecture halls to study between classes, and scheduling meetings right before or after meals. Although nobody can tell you what your schedule should look like, your personal secret agents can once again help you in the right direction. They can share tips for what variables to play around with and share tips about being more efficient and limiting distractions while learning.
Ultimately, college students armed with the experience of college life can help you to share their success and avoid their past setbacks and obstacles. In Your Shoes is the perfect place to get that road map to college.


State and Main (2001). 2 1/2 stars out of 4. Starring William H. Macy, Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, David Paymer, Rebecca Pidgeon, Charles Durning, Patti Lupone and Clark Gregg. Written and directed by David Mamet. Rated R.
Previously when dealing with the movies, most notably in Hurlyburly, David Mamet has used his pen as a scalpel to satirically slice the industry. But in his latest venture, State and Main, the playwright is content with using his writing instrument as a feather merely to tickle the industry.
The premise is simplicity itself. A movie company, after losing its New Hampshire location, settles upon the sleepy little town of Waterford, Vt., to film The Old Mill. Waterford seems perfect; it has a firehouse and an old mill ó at least according to a brochure about the town.
Unfortunately, after settling on Waterford and making all the arrangements needed to film, director Walt Price (William H. Macy) and his production crew discover that the brochure is a bit out of date ó the mill was destroyed during a rash of suspicious fires back in 1960.
So, first-time screenwriter Joe White (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a promising young playwright, must revamp his script while at the same time searching for a manual typewriter to replace his, which was lost in transit from New Hampshire. How the film company solves its various dilemmas and interacts with the easy-going New Englanders of Waterford is the gist of Mametís screenplay.
State and Main, which Mamet also directed, is a gentle comedy. Mametís jabs at Hollywood are more like love taps. The movie is funny, but not biting.
But what a cast. Beside Macy and Hoffman, the film stars Alec Baldwin and Sarah Jessica Parker as Bob Barrenger and Claire Wellesley, the stars of The Old Mill; David Paymer as the filmís trouble-shooting producer; Charles Durning as Waterfordís mayor; Patti Lupone as his snobbish wife; Rebecca Pidgeon as Waterfordís bookstore owner and community theater director; and Julia Stiles as a teen-age groupie out to exploit Bobís predilection for young girls.
State and Main just meanders along. And that is the filmís problem. Itís comic, but not frantic; the laughs are there, but they lack a big payoff.
Even the satire lacks spark. It's of the obvious type, mostly consisting of the ìsophisticatedî Hollywood folk not able to comprehend the rustic style of their hosts.
State and Main has its moments, but you seem to have to wait for them.
The one nice aspect of Mametís story is seeing Hoffman playing a romantic figure. The love affair that develops between the idealistic writer and practical community theater director is sweet. Hoffman and Pidgeon make a lovely couple.
But the others all seem to be playing types: Macy as the profane director who wonít let anything or anyone stop him from making his movie; Baldwin as the self-centered leading man; Parker as the airhead bimbo with artistic aspirations; Paymer as the ruthless money man. They all are caricatures.
State and Main is a rather tame outing. Itís enjoyable, but nothing that will make a lasting impression.

reproducible example ("reprex"), e.g., in a GitHub issue. Reprex source can
be
read from clipboard
read from current selection or active document in RStudio
(with reprex_addin()
)
provided directly as expression, character vector, or string
read from file
reprex(x = NULL, input = NULL, outfile = NULL, venue = c("gh", "so", "ds", "r"), advertise = opt(TRUE), si = opt(FALSE), style = opt(FALSE), show = opt(TRUE), comment = opt("#>"), opts_chunk = NULL, opts_knit = NULL, tidyverse_quiet = opt(TRUE), std_out_err = opt(FALSE), render = TRUE)
| x | An expression. If not given, |
|---|---|
| input | Character. If has length one and lacks a terminating newline, interpreted as the path to a file containing reprex code. Otherwise, assumed to hold reprex code as character vector. |
| outfile | Optional basename for output files. When |
| venue | Character. Must be one of the following:
|
| advertise | Logical. Whether to include a footer that describes when and
how the reprex was created. Read more about |
| si | Logical. Whether to include |
| style | Logical. Whether to style code with |
| show | Logical. Whether to show rendered output in a viewer (RStudio or
browser). Read more about |
| comment | Character. Prefix with which to comment out output, defaults
to |
| opts_chunk, opts_knit | Named list. Optional
knitr chunk and package options that
are forwarded to |
| tidyverse_quiet | Logical. Sets the option |
| std_out_err | Logical. Whether to append a section for output sent to
stdout and stderr by the reprex rendering process. This can be necessary to
reveal output if the reprex spawns child processes or |
| render | Logical. Whether to render the reprex or just create the
templated |
Character vector of rendered reprex, invisibly.
The usual "code + commented output" is returned invisibly, put on the
clipboard, and written to file. An HTML preview displays in RStudio's Viewer
pane, if available, or in the default browser, otherwise. Leading "> "
prompts, are stripped from the input code. Read more at
http://reprex.tidyverse.org/.
reprex sets specific knitr options,
which you can supplement or override via the opts_chunk
and
opts_knit
arguments or via explicit calls to knitr in your reprex code
(see examples). If all you want to override is the comment
option, use
the dedicated argument, e.g.commment = "#;-)"
.
Chunk options default to collapse = TRUE
, comment = "#>"
,
error = TRUE
. Note that error = TRUE
, because a common use case is bug
reporting.
reprex also sets knitr's upload.fun
. It defaults to
knitr::imgur_upload()
so figures produced by the reprex appear properly
on GitHub, Stack Overflow, or Discourse. Note that this function requires
the packages httr & xml2 or RCurl & XML, depending on your knitr version.
When venue = "r"
, upload.fun
is set to identity
, so that figures
remain local. In that case, you may also want to set outfile
.

Harry Redknapp makes £100 bet with Morgan that Spurs will finish top 4
- Harry Redknapp has made £100 bet with Piers Morgan on Tottenham making the top four
- Redknapp is confident that his former side will qualify for next season Champions League
- But Piers Morgan says Tottenham can never finish among the top four teams this season
Former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has expressed confidence that his former club will finish among the top four teams at the end of the ongoing Premier League season.
His confidence came after Tottenham chiefs sacked Mauricio Pochettino and appointed Jose Mourinho as the new manager.
Tottenham have only won three games this term after 12 encounters and they currently occupy 14th position on the standings.
Mourinho and his new players will face West Ham United in their next game on Saturday, November 23, and a win will be good for Spurs.

But whether they win on Saturday or lose, Harry Redknapp is optimistic that Tottenham will qualify for next season Champions League.
He has further placed a bet with Arsenal fan Piers Morgan who believes Tottenham would never finish among the top four.
"I've just had a £100 bet with Piers that they will,'' Harry explained at an event hosted by the Mail.
Morgan responded: "No. It'll be Liverpool to win the league, Manchester City second, Chelsea third and Leicester fourth."
Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Jose Mourinho reportedly contacted English striker Harry Kane telling him that he is the best forward in Europe and vowed to win trophies with him at Tottenham.
The Portuguese recently replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham and he is preparing his squad for their coming Premier League game against West Ham United.
