2017 has been an exciting year for children’s books, with standout stories, stunning fiction and non-fiction picture books, titles that draw attention to the achievements of women and the plights of refugees and authors and illustrators from around the world publishing great work. If you’re looking for something to read over the Christmas holidays, or some Christmas present inspiration, look no further than this list.
Bold picture books
2017 has been a bumper year for brilliant picture books.
Oi Cat!, by Kes Gray & Jim Field
The hilarious follow-up to Oi Frog! and Oi Dog!:
“According to Frog: cats sit on gnats; dogs sit on logs; raccoons sit on macaroons; armadillos sit on pillows; and chicks sit on bricks.
“But wait! Cat doesn’t like sitting on gnats, they keep biting his bottom! Will Frog and Dog help him change the rules?”
We Found a Hat, by Jon Klassen
“Two turtles have found a hat. The hat looks good on both of them. But there are two turtles. And there is only one hat!”
Goodnight Everyone, by Chris Haughton
A book that put us all to sleep this year - in a good way:
“A series of exquisitely coloured cut pages of increasing size introduce woodland families - bears, deer, rabbits and teeny, tiny mice - who are all beginning to feel really tired! ‘Dear me’, says Great Big Bear, ‘it must be time for bed!’. But Little Bear is certainly not sleepy - he’s wide awake!”
Max the Brave, by Ed Vere
“This is Max. Max the Brave, Max the Fearless, Max the Mouse-catcher. But, in order to be a Mouse-catcher, Max needs to know what a mouse is, so off he goes to find out.”
Evil Pea Rules, by Sue Hendra & Paul Linnet
In the latest Supertato title:
“It’s all very well being a superhero and saving the day - but what if there was no one there to cause the chaos? To provide these heroes with their chances to shine? Would we even need superheroes?! Fortunately, this isn’t something we will have to worry about any time soon. The Evil Pea is back! And this time he has his biggest, most dastardly plan yet to take over the supermarket!”
I Can Only Draw Worms, by Will Mabbitt
This has been described as one of the funniest books of the year:
“I can only draw worms. You might think worms are boring - but you’d be wrong. These worms have incredible adventures! I can’t draw those bits, though, so you’ll have to imagine them. “
Beautiful non-fiction
Publishers such as Flying Eye have continued the trend for producing wonderfully illustrated children’s non-fiction. A timely alternative to reading information on a screen, these books remind us of how captivating and beautiful a book can be.
Crazy About Cats, by Owen Davey
“Did you know that the fishing cat has partially webbed paws for catching fish? Or that pumas can leap over 15 feet into trees? There are roughly 38 species of cats today, each one superbly adapted to their environment - whether that be in the rainforest or the desert!”
The Ways of the Wolves, by Smriti Prasadam-Halls & Jonathan Woodward
“Majestic and fierce, proud and strong, the wolf has always been a source of fascination - and fear. It remains one of the most misunderstood of all creatures, frequently cast as our mortal enemy. The truth is that wolves and humans are more closely connected than we dare to admit. With beautifully lyrical language, Smriti Prasadam-Halls explores the lightning speed, echoing howl and family life of these mysterious animals, revealing astonishing facts and overturning misconceptions as she does so.”
The Lost Words: a spell book, by Robert Macfarlane & Jackie Morris
“From bestselling Landmarks author Robert Macfarlane - an illustrated collection of spell-poems to re-wild the language of children.”
Under Earth, Under Water, by Aleksandra Mizielińska & Daniel Mizieliński
“Dive below the surface, and find out what happens under the earth and under the water. From early submarines and deep-sea life, to burrowing animals and man-made tunnels - you will never look at the world in the same way again!”
Nature, by Thomas Hegbrook
“Delve into the natural world with this beautifully illustrated book of wordless nature stories. Nature explores and depicts a selection of the wondrous stories found every day in nature, from penguins ‘proposing’ to the dangerous lure of a venus flytrap. Children will have hours of fun learning to read stories in images as well as understanding more of the world around them.”
The Big Book of Bugs, and The Big Book of Beasts, by Yuval Zommer
Find out how to become a young bug spotter and spot wild animals too with spectacular scenic spreads.
‘Balancing the bookshelves’: books about amazing women
“One study of 5,000 children’s books found that a quarter had no female characters, and less than 20% featured a woman with a job. But a new wave of books and writers is helping to fix that disparity.”
— The Guardian, March 2017
Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 tales of extraordinary women, by Elena Favilli & Francesca Cavallo
“What if the princess did not marry Prince Charming but instead went on to be an astronaut or an activist? What if the jealous step sisters were supportive and kind? And what if the queen was the one really in charge of the kingdom?
Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls introduces us to 100 remarkable women and their extraordinary lives. From Marie Curie to Malala, Ada Lovelace to Zaha Hadid, it brings together the stories of scientists, artists, politicians, pirates and spies.”
The most highly-funded original book in the history of crowdfunding aims to break through gender stereotypes in children’s books and “show the true variety of fields, disciplines and jobs, just to show the full capabilities of women and to inspire young girls to believe they can try to do anything.”
 We particularly recommend Frida Kahlo, by Isabel Sanchez Vegara, Gee Fan Eng & Emma Martinez, Maya Angelou, by Lisbeth Kaiser & Leire Salaberria and Emmeline Pankhurst, by Lisbeth Kaiser & Ana Sanfellippo.
Three Cheers for Women!, by Marcia Williams
“Join Marcia Williams as she celebrates incredible women from around the world and throughout history. From writers to warriors and astronauts to activists, discover their awesome stories and be amazed by their achievements. Marcia Williams’ much-loved comic-strip style will encourage even the most reluctant reader to enjoy this inspirational book packed with facts, quotes and jokes.”
Women in Science: 50 fearless pioneers who changed the world, by Rachel Ignotofsky
“A gloriously illustrated celebration of trailblazing women. Women in Science highlights the contributions of fifty notable women to the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics, from both the ancient and modern worlds. The book also contains fascinating infographics and an illustrated scientific glossary.”
Refugees
As the refugee crisis continues, books have brought to light the suffering caused by displacement and detention to help understanding and empathy.
The Journey, by Francesca Sanna
Winner of the 2017 Klaus Flugge Prize:
“With haunting echoes of current affairs, this beautifully illustrated book explores the unimaginable decisions made as a family leave their home and everything they know to escape the turmoil and tragedy brought by war.”
Salt to the Sea, by Ruta Sepetys
Winner of the 2017 Carnegie Medal:
“It’s early 1945 and a group of people trek across Germany, bound together by their desperation to reach the ship that can take them away from the war-ravaged land. Four young people, each haunted by their own dark secret, narrate their unforgettable stories. This novel is based on a true story from the Second World War. When the German ship the Wilhelm Gustloff was sunk in port in early 1945 it had over 9000 civilian refugees, including children, on board. Nearly all were drowned.”
Illegal: a graphic novel telling one boy’s epic journey to Europe, by Eoin Colfer, Andrew Dinkin & Giovanni Rigano
“This is a powerful and timely story about one boy’s epic journey across Africa to Europe, a graphic novel for all children with glorious colour artwork throughout.
“Ebo: alone. His sister left months ago. Now his brother has disappeared too, and Ebo knows it can only be to make the hazardous journey to Europe. Ebo’s epic journey takes him across the Sahara Desert to the dangerous streets of Tripoli, and finally out to the merciless sea. But with every step he holds on to his hope for a new life, and a reunion with his sister.”
A paperback edition is due to be published in January.
My Name is Not Refugee, by Kate Milner
“A young boy discusses the journey he is about to make with his mother. They will leave their town, she explains, and it will be sad but also a little bit exciting. They will have to say goodbye to friends and loved ones, and that will be difficult. They will have to walk and walk and walk, and although they will see many new and interesting things, it will be difficult at times too.
“This powerful and moving story draws young readers into each stage of the journey, inviting the chance to imagine the decisions he or she would make.”
The Arrival, by Shaun Tan
“What drives so many to leave everything behind and journey alone to a mysterious country, a place without family or friends, where everything is nameless and the future is unknown?
The Island, by Armin Greder
“In the morning the people of the island found a man sitting on the shore, there where fate and the ocean currents had set him and his frail raft in the night. When he saw them coming towards him, he rose to his feet. He was not like them.
“This internationally acclaimed, award-winning picture book is astonishing, powerful and timely.”
Alpha: Abidjan to Gare du Nord, by Bessora, Barroux & Sarah Ardizzone
“Alpha Coulibaly is emblematic of the refugee crisis today - just one of millions on the move, at the mercy of people traffickers, endlessly frustrated, endangered and exploited as he attempts to rejoin his family already in Europe.
“With a visa, Alpha’s journey would take a matter of hours; without one he is adrift for 18 months. Along the way he meets an unforgettable cast of characters, each one giving another human face to the crisis.”
International authors and illustrators
2017 has seen a wealth of amazing international authors and illustrators’ work being brought to our shores aided by the work of publishing houses such as Tiny Owl and Gecko Press and Booktrust’s ‘In Other Words’ project.
My Pictures After the Storm, by Eric Vielle & Daniel Hahn
“What happens to a lion after the storm? His mane is swept into a dishevelled mess. What becomes of a pear after an elephant passes by? Pear jam! A frog after a spell? A prince. And the room after a battle?
Yours Sincerely, Giraffe, by Megumi Iwasa & Jun Takabatake
“Giraffe is bored, as usual. He’d love a friend to share things with. So he writes a letter and sends it as far as possible across the other side of the horizon. There he finds a pen pal - called Penguin.  What does a penguin look like? Where is a penguin’s neck? And so the letters begin to fly from horizon to horizon.”
Oskar and Mo, by Britta Teckentrup
“Oskar has a new friend, Mo. Featuring the same gorgeous colors and geometric collages that have made Teckentrup such a popular author and illustrator worldwide, this story will speak to young readers, who will learn about the many forms friendship takes while enjoying Teckentrup’s beautiful illustrations.”
Moon, by Britta Teckentrup & Patricia Hegarty
“Have you ever wondered why the moon shines in the night-time sky? As the moon waxes and wanes above, the world below is full of busy night-time creatures; from turtles laying their eggs on white sandy beaches, to migrating birds using the moon to navigate their way to sunnier climes. Turn the peek-through pages to see the moon change shape as it goes through the lunar cycle.”
The best of the rest
The Guggenheim Mystery, by Robin Stevens
The great Siobhan Dowd created Ted Sparks, a boy with an unusual way of looking at the world, for the excellent The London Eye Mystery almost a decade. Sadly, she died before she could write the planned sequel but this year, mystery writer and author of the Murder Most Unladylike series Robin Stevens took up the challenge:
“This is the story of my second mystery. This summer, I went on holiday to New York, to visit Aunt Gloria and Salim. While I was there, a painting was stolen from the Guggenheim Museum, where Aunt Gloria works. Everyone was very worried and upset. I did not see what the problem was. I do not see the point of paintings, even if they are worth £9.8 million. Perhaps that’s because of my very unusual brain, which works on a different operating system to everyone else’s.
“But then Aunt Gloria was blamed for the theft - and Aunt Gloria is family.”
The Wizards of Once, by Cressida Cowell
“Xar is a Wizard boy who has no Magic, and will do anything to get it. Wish is a Warrior girl, but she owns a banned Magical Object, and she will do anything to conceal it.
“In this whirlwind adventure, Xar and Wish must forget their differences if they’re going to make it to the dungeons at Warrior Fort.
“Where something that has been sleeping for hundreds of years is stirring…”
The latest book from the creator of How to Train your Dragon has become a bestseller, and with good reason. It’s an enchanting tale, funny and heartfelt and full of endearing characters, all subject to Cowell’s hilarious and in inventive spin. The amazing illustrations really bring this book to life as they wind and flow over the pages - sometimes dark and creepy, never boring.

Earlier versions of pyglet and certain other windowing toolkits such as PyGame and SDL require the application developer to write their own event loop. This "manual" event loop is usually just an inconvenience compared to pyglet.app.run, but can be necessary in some situations when combining pyglet with other toolkits.
A simple event loop usually has the following form:
while True: pyglet.clock.tick() for window in pyglet.app.windows: window.switch_to() window.dispatch_events() window.dispatch_event('on_draw') window.flip()
The dispatch_events method checks the window's operating system event queue for user input and dispatches any events found. The method does not wait for input -- if ther are no events pending, control is returned to the program immediately.
The call to pyglet.clock.tick() is required for ensuring scheduled functions are called, including the internal data pump functions for playing sounds and video.
Developers are strongly discouraged from writing pyglet applications with event loops like this:
The capability for writing manual event loops remains for legacy support and extreme circumstances.

Our Story.
When you have a great story about how your product or service was built to change lives, share it. The "About Us" page is a great place for it to live, too. Good stories humanize your brand, providing context and meaning for your product. What’s more, good stories are sticky -- which means people are more likely to connect with them and pass them on.
Karta News tells users about its product by describing how the hammocks empower artisan weavers and their families. The company breaks down different pieces of the story into sections that combine words and easily digestible graphics, painting a picture instead of big chunks of text. They're clear about why they're different: "Not a Charity," the page reads. And then: "This is the basis for a brighter future, built on a hand up, not a handout."

New Annotation - creates a new row in the spreadsheet for an annotation. When creating a new annotation row, the cursor will be placed in the first data entry field.
Copy Annotation - the currently selected row(s) will be duplicated and placed at the end of the spreadsheet. This action can be reversed with the 'undo' command.
Delete Annotation - the currently selected row(s) will be deleted. This action can be reversed with the 'undo' command.
Bulk Editing - if more than one row is selected, then any copy, delete, or edit function will be performed on all selected rows. All bulk edits can be undone.
One or more rows can be selected for editing operations, including copy, delete, and bulk edit.
You can select one row by clicking the mouse, and the selected row will be highlighted.
More than one contiguous row can be selected by clicking and dragging or shift-clicking.
Currently, non-contiguous rows cannot be selected for editing operations.
When multiple rows are selected, edits made in the data entry frame will affect all selected rows.
You can enter any new text into a free-text field. This will overwrite any previously entered text in the selected annotation rows.
You can select an ontology term for any field similar to selection for a single annotation (see Entering data into Ontology Fields). The change will be reflected in all rows. If any ontology terms were previously entered into any of the selected rows, they will be overwritten.

This section will describe how to set up, administer and secure a CVS server.
A CVS server will be set up using OpenSSH as the remote access method. Other access methods, including :pserver: and :server: will not be used for write access to the CVS repository. The :pserver: method sends clear text passwords over the network and the :server: method is not supported in all CVS ports. Instructions for anonymous, read only CVS access using :pserver: can be found at the end of this section.
Configuration of the CVS server consists of four steps:
Create a new CVS repository with the following commands:
mkdir /srv/cvsroot && chmod 1777 /srv/cvsroot && export CVSROOT=/srv/cvsroot && cvs init
Import a source module into the repository with the following commands, issued from a user account on the same machine as the CVS repository:
cd<sourcedir>
&& cvs import -m "<repository test>
"<cvstest>
<vendortag>
<releasetag>
Test access to the CVS repository from the same user account with the following command:
cvs co cvstest
Test access to the CVS repository from a remote machine using a user account that has ssh access to the CVS server with the following commands:
Replace <servername>
with the IP
address or host name of the CVS repository machine. You will be
prompted for the user's shell account password before CVS
checkout can continue.
export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh &&
cvs -d:ext:<servername>
:/srv/cvsroot co cvstest
CVS can be set up to allow anonymous read only access using the
:pserver: method by logging on as root
and executing the following commands:
(grep anonymous /etc/passwd || useradd anonymous -s /bin/false -u 98) && echo anonymous: > /srv/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd && echo anonymous > /srv/cvsroot/CVSROOT/readers
Testing anonymous access to the new repository requires an account on another machine that can reach the CVS server via network. No account on the CVS repository is needed. To test anonymous access to the CVS repository, log in to another machine as an unprivileged user and execute the following command:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@<servername>
:/srv/cvsroot co cvstest
Replace <servername>
with the IP
address or hostname of the CVS server.
mkdir /srv/cvsroot: Create the CVS repository directory.
chmod 1777
/srv/cvsroot: Set sticky bit permissions for
CVSROOT
.
export
CVSROOT=/srv/cvsroot: Specify new CVSROOT
for all cvs commands.
cvs init: Initialize the new CVS repository.
cvs import -m "repository test"
cvstest vendortag releasetag: All source code
modules must be imported into the CVS repository before use, with
the cvs import
command. The -m
flags specifies an
initial descriptive entry for the new module. The cvstest
parameter is the name used for the module
in all subsequent cvs
commands. The vendortag
and
releasetag
parameters are used to
further identify each CVS module and are mandatory whether used or
not.
(grep anonymous /etc/passwd ||
useradd anonymous -s /bin/false -u 98): Check for
an existing anonymous
user and
create one if not found.
echo anonymous: >
/srv/cvsroot/CVSROOT/passwd: Add the anonymous
user to the CVS passwd file, which is
unused for anything else in this configuration.
echo anonymous >
/srv/cvsroot/CVSROOT/readers: Add the anonymous
user to the CVS readers file, a list
of users who have read only access to the repository.

--- layout: post title: "Cuke4Nuke Intellisense for [Cuke4VS]" comments: true ---
Needed to blog about this fantastic tool addin for VS2008 that gives intellisense for .feature files
http://github.com/henritersteeg/cuke4vs
This gives intellisense as follows:
It also gives us the option to add a .feature file when adding a new item to a solution, as follows:
One last beautiful feature of this tool is that when in the feature file and on a scenario step, then by pressing F12 you will be taking to the correct method in the class where it is matched.
The nice thing about this tool is that its free. Im not sure if there are any plans to incorporate this into VS2010 but if not id love to help out with this.
Anyone who uses cuke4nuke from visual studio should use this little adding

public interface NamingConvention
Defines the naming convention for converting between logical property names/entity names and physical DB column names/table names.
The main goal of the naming convention is to reduce the amount of configuration required in the mapping (especially when mapping between column and property names).
Note that if you do not define a NamingConvention the default one will be used and you can configure it's behaviour via properties.
| Method Summary | |
|---|---|
String |
getColumnFromProperty(Class<?> beanClass,
String propertyName)
Return the column name given the property name. |
TableName |
getM2MJoinTableName(TableName lhsTable,
TableName rhsTable)
Returns the ManyToMany join table name (aka the intersection table). |
String |
getPropertyFromColumn(Class<?> beanClass,
String dbColumnName)
Return the property name from the column name. |
String |
getSequenceName(String tableName)
Return the sequence name given the table name (for DB's that use sequences). |
TableName |
getTableName(Class<?> beanClass)
Returns the table name for a given Class. |
boolean |
isUseForeignKeyPrefix()
Return true if a prefix should be used building a foreign key name. |
void |
setDatabasePlatform(DatabasePlatform databasePlatform)
Set the associated DatabasePlaform. |
| Method Detail |
|---|
void setDatabasePlatform(DatabasePlatform databasePlatform)
This is set after the DatabasePlatform has been associated.
The purpose of this is to enable NamingConvention to be able to support database platform specific configuration.
databasePlatform
- the database platformTableName getTableName(Class<?> beanClass)
This method is always called and should take into account @Table annotations etc. This means you can choose to override the settings defined by @Table if you wish.
beanClass
- the bean class
TableName getM2MJoinTableName(TableName lhsTable, TableName rhsTable)
lhsTable
- the left hand side bean tablerhsTable
- the right hand side bean table
String getColumnFromProperty(Class<?> beanClass, String propertyName)
String getPropertyFromColumn(Class<?> beanClass, String dbColumnName)
This is used to help mapping of raw SQL queries onto bean properties.
beanClass
- the bean classdbColumnName
- the db column name
String getSequenceName(String tableName)
Typically you might append "_seq" to the table name as an example.
tableName
- the table name
boolean isUseForeignKeyPrefix()
This by default is true and this works well when the primary key column names are simply "ID". In this case a prefix (such as "ORDER" and "CUSTOMER" etc) is added to the foreign key column producing "ORDER_ID" and "CUSTOMER_ID".
This should return false when your primary key columns are the same as the foreign key columns. For example, when the primary key columns are "ORDER_ID", "CUST_ID" etc ... and they are the same as the foreign key column names.

Hello, my name is Spencer Wieczorek and I'm a Computer Science student at IUPUI. In this tutorial I will give you an introduction to programing, in this case we will be using JavaScript. I chose this language because it is easy to understand and very easy to setup and share with other people, all you need is a web browser. Here are some requirements/information about this tutorial:
The information in this tutorial is compacted, I may go into specific detail on somethings in this tutorial. If you are completely new to programing you may have to go back re-read things quite a few times. It's good to utilize other resources to get better/more information on things, here are a few good resources you can use:
Programing is a tools for creativity and problem solving; it is the manifestations of your thoughts into elegant systems. You can do anything with it, and you can apply anything into programing: I personally like making games. Computer Science is the study and creation of procedural systems that solves a task (informational algorithms): as in we are interested in the process of the task that leads to the solution, not the solution itself. Computer Science is not about computers, but proccesses with information, in which exist both in computers and naturally in our physical world. While programing is the implementation and execution of these procedures, and is currently the greatest tools a computer scientist can use to implement. Becuases of this programing and computer science are related, but not the same.

This week was mainly focused on writing the dissertation. At this stage of the work, only some minor adjustments are needed to code. Since the Velociy Obstacles principle used in this work only focuses on linear trajectories, the calculations are now only made when the ATLASCAR2 is not turning. To do so, the code now subscribes to the Short Term Path node to receive the direction message published by it.
Previously, the direction was set to display left or right when the steering wheel angle was at value greater than 0 degrees. However, since most drivers don't drive that straight forward, the message now informs the direction when the angular velocity of the ATLASCAR is greater than 0.01 rad/s.
By subscribing to the direction data the VO node now only calculates and displays the Velocity Cones when the ATLASCAR is not making a sharp turn. This eliminates the errors when the car is turning and the instant relative velocity vector informs an imminent collision. However, when another vehicle is turning the same error accurs. As of now there is not way to determine if an obstacle is turning, meaning that this erros cannot be tackled.
The collision indication when the ATLASCAR2, or the moving obstacle, is turning does not pose a serious threat to the driver (at best it is considered defensive driving), however if this program would to be applied in a maneuver decision algorithm these false positives would cause instability.
To better perceive the collision cone decions making, the relative velocity vector of each colliding target is now displayed in the car's base_link frame. This allows to see if the relative velocity vector lies indeed within the VO collision cone.
Due to the prior lack of knowledge of the ATLASCAR2 odometry, the predicted collision zones were not displayed. To display this collision zones the ATLASCAR2's own velocity must be subtracted from the relative velocity vector. The GNN velocity data is known to be somewhat incorrect (as the previous studies point out), nevertheless since the Short Term Path (which also publishes the ATLASCAR2 current velocity vector) is already subscribed to, this information was used to shift the current collision circles by the obstacle's real velocity vector (relative velocity vector-ATLASCAR2 velocity vector).
The rosbag merge done in the previous weeks shows now even more delay, due to the computation demand of all the nodes, so all this changes are almost impossible to visualize. To account for this, next week all the code developed will be tested live on the ATLASCAR2.

We got tired of system software from the 1970s. So we wrote our own on top. From scratch.
Nock is a homoiconic combinator algebra, not much fancier than SKI combinators. The spec fits on a T-shirt and gzips to 340 bytes. Nock's data model is simple: a noun is an atom or a cell. An atom is any natural number. A cell is an ordered pair of any two nouns.
Nock cannot create cycles and needs no GC. Its only arithmetic operator is increment, so it is not inherently efficient; an efficient Nock interpreter works by recognizing standard Nock formulas and matching them to pre-written manual optimizations. We never extend Nock or call out to Unix from it.
Hoon is a strict, typed, functional language that compiles itself to Nock. The Hoon compiler is 4000 lines of Hoon. Adding standard libraries, the self-compiling kernel is 8000 lines.
Hoon has no particular familial relationship to other languages you may know. It uses its own type inference algorithm and is as different from Haskell as from Lisp. Hoon syntax is also completely unfamiliar. Hoon has the same relationship to Nock that C has to assembly — as thin a layer as possible. It is possible to learn Hoon without Nock, but it's probably not a good idea.
As a functional systems language, Hoon is especially good at metaprogramming, self-virtualization, hotpatching; marshalling and validating untyped data; decoding and encoding binary message formats. Hoon is designed for event programming, so there is no concurrency model.
Arvo is an event-driven server OS built on the same event library as node.js (libuv). Unlike node.js, Arvo is written in Hoon, isolated from Unix and a persistent single-level store. Arvo can update itself and its data and programs indefinitely from its own state. After the image is created, it lives indefinitely and is never modified externally.
Arvo is modular. Present modules provide a network messaging protocol, a REPL and task manager, a revision-controlled filesystem, a text console, and an HTTP server. The Arvo codebase is about 6500 lines, which is probably too big.
Clay is a feature of Arvo: a secure, referentially transparent and decentralized filesystem. The root of the namespace is a global PKI. Each identity serves its own filesystem tree. Files are nouns, not atoms, with arbitrary tree structure.
Identities, which are also routable addresses, are either key fingerprints or hierarchically assigned short numbers. All numbers are mapped to phonemic strings for memorability. Identities are transferrable and irrevocable; ownership is established by key pinning. The system has a superficial resemblance to Bitcoin, but works more like land than money. It does not use mining or a blockchain.
Since Clay is immutable, all paths contain a revision, which is either a change number, a date, or a label. A request is a special case of a subscription, so syndication is straightforward. Clay also has a synthesis mode which computes a functional namespace on the client side.
Urbit is good for everything, of course! It is a new general-purpose computing layer. We look forward to a future where the current Internet exists only as an underground series of tubes which transports you to your Urbit.
More specifically, Urbit is a personal cloud computer. Right now, the cloud computers we use run OSes designed for minicomputers in the '70s. An ordinary user can no more drive a Linux box in the cloud than fly an A320. So she has to sit in coach class as a row in someone else's database. It's definitely air travel. It's not exactly flying.
The user of the future will fly her own computer. She will own and control her own identity and her own data. She will even host her own apps. She will not be part of someone else's Big Data. She will be her own Little Data. Unless she's a really severe geek, she will pay some service to store and execute her Urbit ship - but she can move it anywhere else, anytime, for the cost of the bandwidth.
A user can't manage a general-purpose computer unless she basically understands what it's doing. She may not be a programmer, but she needs at least a rough mental model of her computer's state.
A personal computer has to be a *simple* computer. This is why we built a new system software stack from scratch, with the goal of bringing it in under 10,000 lines of code. Urbit is about 50% over this complexity budget, but nobody's perfect.
Urbit at present is not good for anything but screwing around. For screwing around, it answers all your needs and is happy to consume any amount of unwanted time.
It does basically work as described above, though. Urbit at present propagates all its updates through its own filesystem, runs its own chat server over its own network protocol, etc. As of early 2014, it is an interesting prototype, not a useful device.
Just wait. If you're cool enough, someone will send you an invitation.
Psych! No, actually, you can go here.

If you do not know what Dropbox is, it is a popular cross-platform file synchronization and backup application. It syncs the Dropbox folder present in your computer to the cloud by integrating itself with the file manager of the operating system.
In case of Ubuntu, it depends upon the default file manager called "nautilus" of the GNOME Desktop to provide the user interface like showing the overlay icons over the files. The following are the steps to install Dropbox, if you are behind a proxy or a firewall.
Change to your home directory /home/satyadeep for example and Run the following in terminal to extract the archive:
[bash] tar xzf dropbox* [/bash]
This will create a hidden directory called .dropbox-dist in your home folder.
In case, if there is a newer version available, or you want to try out a testing build from the Dropbox forums, simply extract the latest .tar.gz file into your home folder as above (Step 3) and restart the dropbox daemon. That will upgrade you to the latest version.

Incredibly Rare 'Mouse Deer' Spotted in Vietnam After Vanishing For Almost 30 Years
by AFPA very rare species of small, deer-like animal thought to be on the verge of extinction has been spotted in the northwestern jungle of Vietnam for the first time in nearly 30 years.
Known as the silver-backed chevrotain or mouse deer, a specimen was last recorded in 1990, according to a study published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.
The species, Tragulus versicolor, was first described in 1910 based on several animals found near Nha Trang, about 450 kilometres (280 miles) northeast of Ho Chi Minh City.
With no confirmed sightings since 1990, experts assumed the species must have been pushed to the brink of extinction by hunting.
However Vietnamese biologist An Nguyen, who works with Global Wildlife Conservation and is a PhD student at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, had been wondering for years whether the silver-backed chevrotain might still be holding on somewhere.
Working with colleagues Barney Long and Andrew Tilker, the experts got together with local villagers to sift through reported sightings.
Some were consistent enough with the silver-backed chevrotain to justify putting up more than 30 motion-activated cameras in nearby forested habitats.
"The results were amazing. I was overjoyed when we checked the camera traps and saw photographs of a chevrotain with silver flanks," said Nguyen.
Tilker cautioned in a blog post however that "just because we found this species relatively easily doesn't mean it is not threatened".
Forests in southeast Asia are under tremendous pressure from growing populations and development "so we need to get ahead of the curve" on conservation, Tilker added.
In May, a United Nations body of biodiversity experts, known as IPBES, issued a landmark report warning that up to one million species face the risk of extinction due to humanity's impact on the planet.

Pakistan anti-government protesters call off Islamabad sit-in
Protest leader Rehman tells supporters to launch 'Plan B', threatening to block several main highways across country.
Thousands of anti-government protesters in Pakistan called off a two-week sit-in on Islamabad's main highway, but began what they called "Plan B" aimed at crippling the country's roads and toppling Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Protest leader Fazl-ur-Rehman, chief of the conservative Assembly of Islamic Clerics (Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl; JUI-F) party, told his supporters on Wednesday to return to their home states to begin the "next phase" of the "ongoing movement", which he said would continue until the government resigns and fresh elections are held.
Demonstrators set off on the march from the southern city of Karachi on October 27 and arrived in Islamabad on October 31, where they had been holding a sit-in for almost two weeks.

Pakistan PM Khan rejects calls to step down
"Our strength is converged here, and our associates are out on the roads. They need your help and assistance," Rehman told the crowd from the top of an articulated truck that has served as a stage for nightly addresses to protesters.
"Your presence here has cut the roots of the government. In the next phase, we will demolish this trunk."
He threatened to block several main highways, which could disconnect major cities from the rest of the country.
Earlier on Wednesday, JUI-F workers, holding party flags, blocked the western Quetta-Chaman highway linking the country with Afghanistan, resulting in a long queue of trucks laden with goods, footage aired by private news channels showed.
"The roads are already blocked with our workers but we are going to sit with them," said Qutb-ud-Din, one of the many party supporters dismantling the makeshift tent camp in Islamabad. "We are going to begin Plan B."
Some 150 demonstrators also reportedly blocked a highway in the southern Sindh province.
'Tougher than plan A'
The protests have been fuelled by a deepening economic crisis, with the opposition condemning Khan's Pakistan Movement for Justice (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf; PTI) party-led government of mismanagement.
The protesters are mainly from the JUI-F party, and a large number of teachers and students from the party's extensive network of religious schools across the country.
The main opposition parties, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People's Party (PPP), have backed the protests, but their participation in the actual demonstration has been limited.
Rehman has accused the prime minister of taking power last year with the help of the military, which has ruled Pakistan for roughly half its history.
Khan and the military have denied the accusations, which have swirled since the July 2018 election.
But Rehman, a longtime rival of Khan, brought his supporters to Islamabad and gave the prime minister 48 hours to step down.
The cricketer-turned-politician Khan maintains he will not bow to the pressure and resign.
Some supporters at the Islamabad protest said that if the "Plan B" does not work, they will return.
"Our Plan B is going to be tougher than Plan A," 29-year-old Shehryar Fahim told the AFP news agency, adding that if needed, they would protest at Khan's private residence in Bani Gala, a suburb of Islamabad.

And then maybe I’d actually like to keep my config out of my source control, or have a build process that I run locally, or any number of things.  I think I could use git rebase but I lack the discipline to undo my work so I can do it correctly. This is why I don’t do continuous commits.
There’s a whole different level of weirdness when you use GitHub Pages as you aren’t pushing to a deployment-specific remote, you are pushing to a deployment-specific branch.
So I’ve generally thought: git deployment is wrong.
Then I was talking to some other people at Mozilla and they mentioned that ops was using git for simply moving files around even though the stuff they were deploying was itself in Mercurial. They had a particular site with a very large number of files, and it was faster to use git than rsync (git has more metadata than rsync; rsync has to look at everything everytime you sync). And that all seemed very reasonable; git is a fine way to sync things.

Still… it isn’t so hard to separate these concerns, is it? So I wrote up a quite small command called git-sync. The basic idea: copy the working directory to a new location (minus .git/), commit that, and push the result to your deployment remote. You can send modified and untracked files, and you can run a build script before committing and push the result of the build script, all without sullying your "real" source control. And you happen to have a nice history of deployments, which is also nice.
I’ve only used this a little bit, but I’ve enjoyed when I have used it, and it makes me feel much better/clearer about my actual commits. It’s really short right now, and probably gets some things entirely wrong (e.g., moving over untracked files). But it works well enough to be improved (winkwinknudgenudge).

This script looks great. I’ll test it out later today.
On the deployment part, what about having multiple branches doing deployments? For example, do development in a dev branch, which deploys to a smaller testing server, then merge the testing into the master branch, which will deploy to the real server(s).
I’m not a fan of that either – what I keep in source control isn’t what I want to push to a server, and I don’t like using a highly async process (git and hooks etc) to transform what I keep in source control into what I can run. Plus you still have to rebase if you want a clean history.
One way to see benefits of the deployment process is to reverse this statement:
> what I keep in source control isn’t what I want to push to a server,
and turn it into:
> What is pushed to a server should be tracked [by source control]
What you DO with that tracking can be separate from that concept.
Did you look at Unison?

Hi,
I’m sure that git can be faster than rsync, but is this particular script really faster? It still uses rsync to do a local copy before using git.
This particular script seems to be using rsync locally. In that case, it’s very fast (faster than git, cp, etc.; or rather, as fast as cp, except that IIRC it will skip copying files that already exist with the same size and timestamp).
Git is faster than rsync only when working over the network, because git does not need to involve the remote side as much as rsync does. Rsync needs to enumerate local and remote files, to send only the difference. Git knows what’s on the remote side, and can compute the difference locally.
However, I wonder if git still ends up being faster when you factor in the checkout/update on the receiving side. While I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the speed of git, I would like to see what happens if someone tries this thing with a multi-GB filesystem :-)
This might be useful for the problem you gave above when you’ve got use something like Heroku and you have minor changes and don’t want to make a separate commit out of it.
git –amend –reuse-message=HEAD; git push deploy -f
What about “git pull”? I realize this is probably not going to be that simple when you have multiple hosts, but for a single host I always ssh to the machine I’m deploying to and pull the updates. That way, you’re also sitting on the machine in case you need to do a disaster recovery.
Hi, I was wondering what you recommend as a good way to track which commit and branch a release is made from. It might be useful to know which commit that the release is as of, so it’s clear which features are included. Is that what the build step is for (which could be used to write out the current branch and commit) ? Joe
The script attempts to keep track of this by putting the upstream information in the commit message – it’ll put in a tag name if available, and a commit hash if not. I don’t think it has any branch information, but that could be added. It just uses
git describe
to get this information.Hi,
I see you speak about git but do you know GitStack ? It is a very great tool to manage git server on Windows and other platforms.
Otherwise, thanks for the script I’ll try later.
Have a good day,

The Monty Hall problem
The Monty Hall problem is a brain teaser, in the form of a probability puzzle, loosely based on the American television game show Let's Make a Deal and named after its original host, Monty Hall. The problem was originally posed in a letter by Steve Selvin to the American Statistician in 1975.
 You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what's behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, "Do you want to pick door No. 2?" Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?

'Messi Didn't Shake Our Hands'
by SL InternationalWith Lionel Messi casting a frustrated figure after FC Barcelona's disappointing UEFA Champions League draw against Slavia Prague on Tuesday, the Argentina superstar has now been accused of acting in an unsportsmanlike manner towards his opponents.
Read: 9 Players Who Left Barca Because Of Messi
The Blaugrana played out a goalless draw against the Czech giants in the Champions League this week, in a match that saw further pressure heaped on manager Ernesto Valverde.
The Spaniard was not the only one feeling the heat, however, with Messi and some of his teammates being accused of acting in an unsporting manner by Slavia goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar after the game.
The shot-stopper claimed that, although Barca 'keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen did go to him after the final whistle to congratulate him, some of the Spanish giants' other stars left without even shaking hands with the Slavia players.

"He (Ter Stegen) was waiting for me inside the tunnel," Kolar said, as quoted by iDNES.cz.
"He stopped me and said he hadn't seen such a good goalkeeping performance for a long time and that it was a pleasure to watch me play well with my feet.
"He waited for me after the match, which I take as the ultimate award. To hear such praise from such a good goalkeeper, I had goosebumps. It was an amazing experience, but some of the other players...
"Messi and the others just left – some of them didn't even shake our hands. It was sad. We were all looking forward to meeting these big players, we wanted to swap jerseys after the match, but they didn't behave very well."

Barcelona currently sit at the top of Group F in the Champions League with eight points, one point ahead of Borussia Dortmund and four ahead of Inter Milan. Slavia are bottom after claiming just two points from their opening four matches of the UCL campaign.


“Here, on this very floor, under that elevated and decorated vault, in a “dim religious light” like this, but with the darkness of the shadow of death in their souls, they prostrated themselves to their saints, or their “queen of heaven;” nay, to painted images and toys of wood or wax, to some ounce or two of bread and wine, to fragments of old bones, and rags of cast-off vestments.” — John Foster, An Essay On The Evils Of Popular Ignorance

Trump to attend NATO summit in London, days before UK vote
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is seeking to retain power in the December 12 election that has been dominated by Brexit -- a contentious subject for which Trump has voiced strong support.
US President Donald Trump will visit Britain for NATO's 70th-anniversary summit next month, the White House said Friday, in a trip that falls days before the country votes in a general election.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is seeking to retain power in the December 12 election that has been dominated by Brexit -- a contentious subject for which Trump has voiced strong support.
The president backs a "no-deal" Brexit, and he has already roiled the election campaign by suggesting last month that the terms of Johnson's current EU divorce deal mean that London could struggle to continue trade with the US.
The White House said in a statement that Trump and First Lady Melania would visit Britain from December 2 to 4, attending both the NATO gathering and a reception hosted by Queen Elizabeth II.
NATO leaders face a difficult summit after French President Emmanuel Macron said the bloc was undergoing "brain death" -- prompting a fierce response from German Chancellor Angela Merkel and others.
Macron's comments to The Economist magazine caused much controversy, with Merkel saying his comments were "drastic" and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo insisting NATO was "important, critical."

Dear sir,
As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe
everyone will die someday. My name is Hassan Ahmed a merchant in Dubai, in
the U.A.E. I have been diagnosed with Esophageal cancer . It has defiled
all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have
only about a few months to live, according to medical experts. I have not
particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone(not
even myself)but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people
and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But
now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just
wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would
live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has
called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my
immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends.  So far, I have distributed money
to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Algeria and Malaysia.
Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself
anymore. I once asked members of my family to close one of my accounts and
distribute the money which I have there to charity organization in Bulgaria
and Pakistan, they refused and kept the money to themselves. Hence, I do
not trust them anymore, as they seem
not to be contended with what I have left for them. The last of my money
which no one knows of is the huge cash deposit of eighteen million dollars
$21,000,000,00 that I have with a finance/Security
Company abroad.
I will want you to help me collect this deposit and dispatched it to
charity organizations. I have set aside 10% for you and for your time.
Please you can contact via my personally email address below:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>God be with you.
Hassan Ahmed.

RESERVOIR DOGS A review by The Phantom<EMAIL_ADDRESS>It has been a superb year for films that are both low-budget but very high-quality -- terms that for most Hollywood executives mix about as well as oil and water. Want high quality?  And who's to blame? Not Scott, who did the best he could do under the circumstances. Not Sigourney Weaver (she's never to blame). Best blame Michael Mann and Daniel Day-Lewis who together stole your thunder by sneaking THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS out a month earlier -- and by making it as entertaining as 1492: CONQUEST OF PARADISE was pretentious and dull.
Meanwhile, small independent filmmakers and distributors have managed to save the year with such well-made and exciting films as BOB ROBERTS, MISTRESS, LAWS OF GRAVITY, ONE FALSE MOVE, RAMPAGE, and now, RESERVOIR DOGS. The money spent on all of these films *together* likely does not equal what was spent on 1492; fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on which side of the ledger sheet you spend your time on), money doesn't buy quality in Hollywood -- though since it buys spectacle and advertising, it usually suffices.
Beyond quality, there is another way in which most of these films differ from the standard Hollywood fare: they are not utterly predictable. Even the best of the big Hollywood films this summer and fall were at best about three steps behind the audience even before the theater lights dimmed; one reason people so frequently feel let down by Hollywood's supposed blockbusters is that the films themselves are rarely creatures of great subtlety. And when they are, we become so familiar with them through the endless previews, advertising, and reviews by critics somewhat less circumspect than the Phantom in their reviewing style that little that develops on the screen comes as much of a surprise to us. Sometimes this is okay; after all, hearing "airplane" and "terrorist" is pretty much all you need to know about PASSENGER 57. But what of those previews for DRACULA? While the tag line "Love Never Dies" is intriguing, the preview that precedes it makes it plain that the filmmakers don't think that intrigue is enough to draw people to the film. So instead of mystery we get quick-cut editing featuring fangs galore, creepy demons descending from ceilings, close-ups of Winona Ryder, and a pretty fair plot summary -- in short, a little something for everyone, thrown together with no particular flair but on the assumption that oblique references to the most famous character in horror history, coupled with a mention of the cast and the director would not be enough to draw crowds sufficient in size to pay for all the blood, heaving breasts, and green fog. Would that all films were good enough to support BATMAN or TOYS-like advertising campaigns. (A big Halloween-season sigh for days gone by when horror films like HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER were allowed to creep up on us unnoticed, the better to be scared witless by them as we and our fellow unsuspecting audience members settled in for two hours of unpredictable, white-knuckled fun.)
But let's not sigh too loudly, for the subject of this review -- the outstanding new independent film RESERVOIR DOGS -- is very much in the "so what is it about, again?" vein. It's the kind of film that is exceedingly hard to ruin by excessive description (even Vincent Canby had trouble giving away the entire plot in his rather overly-descriptive review); in fact, RESERVOIR DOGS is a lot like HENRY in the sense that nothing you can say about it can in any way lessen the impact it will have on someone who hasn't yet seen it. (Actually, that's not true strictly speaking, since there are a few key scenes which depend quite a bit on their shock value for their effectiveness; but in general, just knowing the film's plot or being familiar with director Tarantino's style isn't enough to significantly lessen the film's impact.)
In fact, the plot both barely exists and is incredibly complicated -- take your pick. On the surface, the film is about a group of bad guys, the robbery they plan, and what happens afterward. But that's like saying that GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS is about a bunch of guys selling real estate -- it's true enough, as far as it goes, but it doesn't even get close to what makes the film so fascinating. RESERVOIR DOGS plays like a Sam Peckinpah film with dialogue by David Mamet, and the whole production has a wonderful -- and quite intentional -- retrograde seventies feel to it. It is as stripped down and spare as Scorsese's GOODFELLAS, but first-time director Quentin Tarantino is quite obviously not hoping to be taken for a Scorsese clone -- his distinctive style is very much his own, and his character-driven film recalls the best of the straight-ahead, no-frills films of the late sixties and seventies.
The action in RESERVOIR DOGS unfolds largely against the backdrop of a single set (a warehouse used as a rendezvous point), though much of the film's exposition is handled through flashback. Tarantino jumps us backward through time, then forward again to the present moment, sometimes jumping to a parallel story line before returning to the warehouse. The result is one of startling effectiveness, as we are moved -- ever so slowly, ever so subtly -- to the robbers' point of view, always finding ourselves back in the warehouse after recalling bits of (our) past, all the while growing impatient at the waiting and fearful of what the future may bring.
Even putting aside the compelling performances; the well-drawn and quirky characters; the no-nonsense -- yet slightly tongue-in-cheek -- tone of the film; even putting aside all of that, this effect is above all why RESERVOIR DOGS is so interesting -- and so compelling. For Tarantino allows us to feel something that is rarely felt in modern American film: it's a feeling of uncertainty, of doubt, even of dread. Throughout much of RESERVOIR DOGS, we just don't know what's going to happen next; and even hearing a full description of the plot hardly lessens the feeling, since so much of the film is presented to us out of strict chronological order. All we know is that nice things are unlikely to occur, and that if we had to guess, it would be that events in this single-minded gift to our mainstream-starved intelligences might not end with a nice, tidy Hollywood bow on top. But to be honest, we just don't know.
As a lover of horror and all things unknown, it may be that the Phantom appreciates this more than most; after all, the memorable (but outlandishly audience-insulting) BASIC INSTINCT was filled with what passes for mystery and uncertainty in Hollywood these days, and just look at how many copies are available for your rental pleasure at your local Blockbusters. Verhoeven knows what sells, if nothing else, and he's blatantly uninterested in attempting anything beyond the paint-by-numbers thrillers for which he's so justly famous. But was there anything about BASIC INSTINCT that wasn't telegraphed in excruciating detail -- detail that would do Western Union proud -- before even the opening credits had rolled? Perhaps only whether or not the beautiful, rich, naked bisexual woman who does/does not kill people with an ice pick actually did/did not kill people with an ice pick -- not exactly a question to keep us watching the film on anything other than a purely voyeuristic level.
While voyeurism plays a large part in our experience viewing RESERVOIR DOGS, there is -- thankfully -- much more to Tarantino's screenplay than blood and gunplay, and whether or not the bad guys are going to get caught. In fact, you'll very quickly find that these rather prosaic considerations get left behind as you get caught up in the characters themselves, each brought to unique and individual life by a marriage of first-rate characterization and first-rate acting. (And the Phantom's Harvey Keitel rule is very much in effect here: as always, it never ever hurts to have Harvey Keitel in a film.)
The performances are uniformly impressive; RESERVOIR DOGS could hardly be the outstanding ensemble film it is if they were not. Keitel and Steve Buscemi -- playing a man with well-considered and firmly held opinions about Madonna and her music -- nearly steal the show from Tim Roth, who plays the character with whom the audience is most likely to identify. To say more about what roles these characters play -- or even to reveal their names -- would add little to this review, but would definitely detract from the film's effect.
RESERVOIR DOGS is best seen as Tarantino presents it to his audience: cold and without any preconceived ideas. It is a violent film in which a strictly male-only world is portrayed; the characters themselves are not wholly rounded, three-dimensional or self-conscious; and no feelings are spared. It is not a politically correct film (the Phantom directs your attention to the rapidly -- and deservedly -- fading 1492 for politically correct narrative), and no one's feelings are spared as we eavesdrop on this motley crew of characters as realistic as they are compelling. Tarantino doesn't pander even for a moment; as a result, his film is as wholly successful as any you are likely to see this year.
Nearly everything about this film is little short of amazing; although it is not a horror film per se, it is more likely to evoke that which the best horror films evoke than any recent horror film or thriller. That alone should get phans desperate for good horror cinema to the box office with $7.50 proffered eagerly in outstretched hands. If they look around, they'll see people who came for the cinematography (by relative unknown Andrzej Sekula); for the music; for the acting; for the dialogue. The Phantom rarely recommends a film as strongly as he does this one; not since HENRY has he been as excited about a new release in his favorite genre -- even if it isn't really in his favorite genre. Neither horror nor exploitation, RESERVOIR DOGS is just good in every way; and needless to say, it's well worth seeing.
