Installing: on Windows
On Mac and Linux things are easy, just follow the commands below; for Windows things are trickier and the easiest way would be to use Anaconda https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section.
Please, download and install. Most packages will come with Anaconda distribution; others you can install through its interface.
NB: After Anaconda is installed, it is still better to install libraries from the terminal opened directly from Anaconda and using the following command conda install -c conda-forge gensim
(the latest version is not available via Anaconda interface).

The Confederate steamer Lord Clyde was searched by order of the British Government, but nothing contraband being found on board her she was permitted to sail. The Russians have been defeated near Grochoury by the Polish insurgents. The three Powers have sent an earnest note to Russia, asking for a representative Government, a general amnesty, and an immediate cessation of hostilities in Poland.

MMA News: Randy Couture provides health update after recent heart attack
by Lennard SurraoRandy Couture is one of the most respected and loved fighters in MMA history and if anyone tells you otherwise, then he or she is certainly not a fan of the sport.
As reported by TMZ last month, the UFC Hall of Famer suffered a major health scare when he was diagnosed with a heart attack after a routine work-out session.
Couture has finally come out to give the fans a positive update on his health. The former UFC Heavyweight Champion told TMZ Sports that he feels amazing now and that he has a second follow-up this Friday. He also outlined what he needs to do to avoid further complications with his health.
“Everything’s great, man. I feel amazing. I should have thinned this blood out a long time ago, I guess. Second follow-up on Friday. Everything’s normal, back to normal. So I gotta stay on top of the thick blood. Gotta give blood on a regular basis. Unfortunately, they have to throw my blood away because I was stationed in Germany in the 80s. That’s just the way it is.”
Couture experienced chest pain last month after he worked out in Los Angeles. Despite the discomfort, the UFC legend walked to a hospital and was told that he had suffered a heart attack as his blood was thicker than usual.
As stated by 'The Natural' himself, he is paying closer attention to the thickness of his blood and is fit again to continue his regular schedule.
The former Light Heavyweight Champion works as a colour commentator for Professional Fighters League (PFL) and the 56-year-old veteran is also expected to continue with his Hollywood career going forward.

NodeRED dominodb NodesDocumentation and Examples |
This site contains the documentation and few examples for using the new NodeRED DominoDB nodes.
The nodes are publicly available here.
These nodes wrap the new NodeJS APIs published by HCL and known as the AppDev pack and provide an easy-to-use frontend for using them.
The following items are available from this site:
This module provides a promise based JavaScript interface for accessing data in a Domino database. It uses the gRPC protocol to create, read, update and delete database objects. It uses the Domino Query Facility (DQF) to perform bulk operations on all documents matching a query, thereby reducing transactions and resulting in improved performance. The DominoDB module requires the Proton add-in on your Domino server.

This is an example of some text that is surrounded by an H1 tag.
Search engines look for H1s to determine a page's title and use that in the weighting of the page in their rankings. Consequently, you never want to actually use the H1 in the content of a page because we automatically generate the H1 from the Page Name and Google would ding you for trying to game their algorithm if you had more than one on a page.
This is an example of an H2
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec qu
This is an example of an H3
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec qu
This is an example of an H4
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec qu
This is an example of an H5
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Donec qu
This is an example of an H6
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aenean commodo ligula eget dolor. Aenean massa.  If you were to look at the HTML version of this page, you would notice that this grouping of text does not have any sort of tag (denoted by <> preceding it and following it to close the tag). That is why this text is pretty generic and lacking any style. Chances are that the leading between the lines is a lot closer than the ideal as well.
This, on the other hand is what text looks like when it is surrounded by "p tags". In case it is not apparent at this point, "p" stands for paragraph. It is the p tags that alert the CMS to the fact that this text needs to have certain styling applied to it. That is why this text probably looks a good deal different than the paragraph above. If you were to look at this text in the HTML, you would see a
just before the first word to open the tag and a just after this sentence to close it.
And now for some lists...we'll start with bullets
- First bullet
- Second bullet
- Third bullet
- Indented bullet
- Twice indented bullet
- Indented bullet
Or if you prefer an ordered lis, as opposed to an unorded bullet list:
- First item
- Second item
- Third item
- Once indented
- Twice indented
- Once indented
And finally, we'll wrap this page up with some common text styling:
Here's an example of what bold text looks like
And here's italicized text
How about some underlining?
I can't imagine why you'd use strikethrough on a website, but here you go.
Here's and example of subscript
Or how about some superscript?
And last but certainly not least, here's what a hyperlink looks like on this site.
| odd - 1 | odd - 2 |
| even - 1 | even - 2 |
| odd - 3 | odd - 4 |


The bright light in the background is the sun, a massive burning star rising over earth. The sun is a sphere of hot plasma that accounts for 99.86% of the mass in our solar system and is the star at the center of our solar system. The immediate planet is earth, the planet we thrive in. It is the third closest planet to the sun and is approximately 4.5 billion years old. It is the only known planet that contains living organisms to date.

In Greek Blast- is to bud or germanate, and -dox is a belief or ideology. Thus together the meaning, I imaginatively derive, is a growing belief that is springing forth. A belief in yourself. That you can overcome. That you can emerge from your dream chrysalis to fulfill your destiny. Or perhaps an even greater destiny will emerge. You will awaken to crack open the pupa, and attempt to stretch your wings to only suddenly realize you are a colorful tiger rather than a mere butterfly. This website serves to guide you on your journey. To be discussed are specific methodologies that will aid you on your path such as finances, social skills, planning, and positive psychology. Above all the hats that I wear, I come from the perspective of a strategist. In the ideal form of this art one should be tactically genius, but creatively insane to think outside your opponent's box of prepared possibilities. While writing with candor, I will commit to an analytical approach to achieving goals that is entwined with the spicy magic of an insatiable imagination. Utilitarianism will be placed above idealism. This site will also be a place to post about my general interests as in the news, create reviews, and link to other projects that I’d like to start. *Note that I’m not a fan of front-end web development, and when given the option I do not care if things look wonky in IE as this is a personal project. Also if you become confused by my cacophonous ramblings, assume that I’m joking 15% of the time. Read with the accent of the Winnie the Pooh narrator.

Maruti Suzuki Toyotsu India joint venture announced
by Staff WriterThe 50:50 joint venture between Maruti Suzuki and Toyota Tsusho will set up a vehicle dismantling and recycling unit in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, in FY2021.
Maruti Suzuki India, the country's largest carmaker, and Japanese general trading and project management company Toyota Tsusho Group today announced plans to set up a 50:50 vehicle dismantling and recycling joint venture, christened 'Maruti Suzuki Toyotsu India' (MSTI).
Maruti Suzuki Toyotsu India, which will be headquartered in New Delhi, will set up the vehicle dismantling and recycling unit in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, in FY2021. MSTI will procure and dismantle end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). The process will include complete solid and liquid waste management as per the Indian laws and globally approved quality and environment standards.
According to the partners, the facility in Noida will be the first unit by MSTI and the JV will add more such units across India. The Noida unit will have an initial capacity to dismantle around 2,000 vehicles per month, and MSTI will source vehicles from dealers and also directly from customers.
Announcing the initiative, Kenichi Ayukawa, MD and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India, said: “Maruti Suzuki strongly believes in responsible recycling of vehicles after end of its useful life. Through this joint venture, we aim to promote recycling and support in resource optimisation and conservation while using environment-friendly systems and processes. Scrapping of older vehicles in a scientific and environment-friendly manner will help to reduce pollution and also make the roads safer. A team of experts at MSTI will dismantle the vehicles using international technology and global standards.”
Naoji Saito, CEO (metal division), Toyota Tsusho Corporation, said, “Toyota Tsusho has started ELV recycling since the 1970s in Japan. We believe that we will be able to contribute to Indian society through our knowledge and experience for ELV business. The first vehicle dismantling and recycling unit of MSTI is just the initial step and we are eager to expand to an all-India base with Maruti Suzuki.”
With this move, Maruti Suzuki India becomes the second company in the country to set up a vehicle dismantling facility. In December 2018, Mahindra Accelo and MSTC (a government of India enterprise under the Ministry of Steel) had formed a JV called Mahindra Cero, the country's first authorised recycler for motor vehicles, with the first plant also being in Noida. Mahindra Cero has a capacity to process 25,000-30,000 vehicles per annum.
As per the government, an estimated 28 million end-of-life vehicles across categories will be ready to be scrapped by April 2020.

This is a book from some decades ago about software development and organizing engineering and architect teams. But despite being so old, it contains some postulates that are still valid to this day.

fico
Businessmodel of FICO
Customer Segments
FICO has a niche market business model. The company provides its services to businesses seeking to increase growth rates and improve customer satisfaction. Its major customer groups are:
- Banks - Banks wish to implement user configurable, automated decision making across all lending products within Retail Credit Risk and to introduce flexibility in order to remain competitive.
- Insurance and Pension Companies – Such companies want to develop a pioneering self-service portal for citizens to manage their own pension planning and insurance programs, and to meet the government’s reforms.
- Others – Food, technology and manufacturing companies that require an unprecedented level of customization for their interactive marketing initiatives are FICO’s customers. Such companies look forward to gain better insight into onboarding decisions through real-time analytics presented within dashboards and other intuitive user interfaces. ### Value Propositions
FICO offers two primary value propositions: Reputation and accuracy.
FICO Score is easily the most widely used score by lenders. It is still considered the gold standard for evaluating creditworthiness. According to the firm’s website, 90% of the top U.S. lending institutions use its scores, and 95% of financial institutions in the U.S. are FICO clients.
Another aspect to consider is that the FICO regularly updates its software analytics and tools. And FICO Score algorithm is updated periodically to reflect more current lending trends and consumer behaviors. The most recent FICO Score that is widely used by lenders is FICO Score 8. This is the base FICO Score primarily featured in most FICO products and most widely used by lenders.
Channels
FICO’s primary channels are its sales and marketing staff, and its online marketing. The sales staff operates in FICO offices throughout the world serving all types of industries.
FICO has also a significant online presence due to its user-friendly website and considerable activity on social media which helps it reach out to customers.
Customer Relationships
FICO’s customer relationships are primarily of a personal assistance nature; although, there is a dedicated personal assistance factor too.
The company provides its customers with active personal assistance and, in some cases, a sales representative is assigned to handle all the needs and questions of a special set of clients. The reason is that its clients are different types of companies facing different challenges; so, the solution for each is different and personalized.
Key Activities
The key activities of FICO are developing and providing analytics, security, debt management and communications solutions and products to its clients to help them tackle the business challenges they face.
Key partners
FICO has formed partnerships with top tier systems integrators, technology providers, data providers, service providers and processors. The FICO partner program has four tiers – Platinum, Gold, Silver, and authorized – with benefits that increase with the tier level. Its featured partners are Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Capgemini Financial Services USA Inc.
Key Resources
FICO’s main resources are its human resources which design, develop and supply the software analytics and tools that make up the core of FICO. There are nearly over 2700 people employed at FICO’s offices spread all around the world. They also include sales and marketing staff of FICO.
In addition, FICO holds at least 170 US and foreign patents, and has 93 pending patent applications in different areas such as Network Protection, Fraud Detection, Personalized Marketing and Real-Time Analytic Discovery. Also, 100 Billion FICO Scores have been sold to date making FICO the most used credit score in the world.
Revenue Streams
FICO makes money by providing software solutions for a broad range of purposes, such as combating fraud and making operations more efficient.
Another way through which FICO makes money is by selling its scores directly to consumers as part of a credit monitoring service. The company also sells its scores to lenders, which use them as a key factor in their lending choices.

Loading song...
Example of the standalone BassoonTracker playback routine, playing a module file without the tracker interface.
Hit the "play" button above to start the playback.
Just include a single JS file and you're good to go.
Size comparisons
(v0.4.0) of provided libraries
The most simple example would be:
The second parameter in BassoonTracker.load defines autoplay.
Please note that most modern browser disable audio playback until a user action, so you may need a "play" button to initiate playback.
You can use a third parameter as callback function when the loading of the file is done.
After BassoonTracker.init you might want to check "Audio.context" to see if the browser supports WebAudio.
Some useful methods:
BassoonTracker.togglePlay()
BassoonTracker.isPlaying()
BassoonTracker.playSong()
BassoonTracker.stop()
BassoonTracker.getTrackCount()
BassoonTracker.getSong()
(gets the current song)
BassoonTracker.getSong().title
BassoonTracker.getSong().length
(in patterns)
BassoonTracker.getSong().patterns
(array of patterns)
BassoonTracker.getSong().patternTable
(array of pattern positions in the song)
BassoonTracker.setCurrentSongPosition(songPos)
BassoonTracker.playSample(sampleIndex,sampleRate)
BassoonTracker.getBPM
BassoonTracker.getAmigaSpeed
BassoonTracker.audio
(pointer to the main audio object)
The playback itself is scheduled in WebAudio and completely detached from the main JS thread.
Therefore there are no direct events to indicated playback progress.
If you want to display some UI with a progress indicator you will have to keep track of the start time of the song (Audio.context.currentTime)
and call
BassoonTracker.getStateAtTime(time)
periodically
(or
BassoonTracker.getTimeStates()
to get the complete list).
Note that the Tracker schedules audio ahead, so the last item in the BassoonTracker.getTimeStates() list will be in the future.
Refer
to this example with progress tracking for a demo.
If you want to adjust to volume, you can use
BassoonTracker.audio.masterVolume
which is a WebAudio GainNode.

- A common error is to write a grammar that doesn't have an END
token. End tokens are needed when it is not clear when to stop
parsing. For example, when parsing the expression 3+5, it is
not clear after reading 3 whether to treat it as a complete
expression or whether the parser should continue reading.
Therefore the grammar for numeric expressions should include an end
token. Another example is the grammar for Lisp expressions. In
Lisp, it is always clear when you should stop parsing, so you do
not need an end token. In fact, it may be more useful not
to have an end token, so that you can read in several Lisp expressions.
- If there is a chance of ambiguity, make sure to put the choices
in the order you want them checked. Usually the most specific
choice should be first. Empty sequences should usually be last.
- The context sensitive scanner is not appropriate for all
grammars. You might try using the insensitive scanner with the
context-insensitive-scanner option in the grammar.
- If performance turns out to be a problem, try writing a custom
scanner. The Yapps scanner is rather slow (but flexible and easy
to understand).

Troubleshooting¶
Installation¶
Trouble running “make .exe”¶
If the code does not compile, check the following:
Make sure your environment variable CLAW is set properly:
$ printenv CLAWto print the value. The Makefiles use this variable to find the common Makefile and library routines.
If you get the error message:
Makefile:154: /clawutil/src/Makefile.common: No such file or directorythen CLAW is not set properly. It is looking for the file $CLAW/clawutil/src/Makefile.common and if CLAW is not set, the path will be missing.
Make sure your environment variable FC is set properly. This should be set to the command used to invoke the Fortran compiler, e.g. gfortran.
If you get an error like:
make[1]: gfortran: No such file or directorythen the gfortran compiler is not being found.
Trouble running “make .data”¶
If there are errors in the setrun function (usually defined in setrun.py) then the these may show up when you try to “make .data” since this function must be executed.
See Specifying classic run-time parameters in setrun.py for information about the setrun function.
Trouble running “make .output”¶
If you want to re-run the code and you get:
$ make .output
make: `.output' is up to date.
then you can force it to run again by removing the file .output:
$ rm -f .output
$ make .output
This happens for example if you changed something that you know will affect the output but that isn’t in the Makefile’s set of dependencies.
You can also do
$ make output
(with no dot before output) to run the code without checking dependencies. See Clawpack Makefiles for more details and warnings.
Trouble running “make .plots”¶
The Python plotting routines require NumPy and matplotlib. See Python Hints for information on installing these.
If there are errors in the setplot function (usually defined in setplot.py) then the these may show up when you try to “make .plots” since this function must be executed. See Using setplot.py to specify the desired plots.
You can also do
$ make plots
(with no dot before plots) to plot the output without checking dependencies. This will never run the code, it will only attempt to plot the output files found in _output directory (or wherever the OUTDIR variable in the Makefile points).
See Clawpack Makefiles for more details and warnings.

US, S Korea postpone joint military drills criticised by North
Move comes after Pyongyang threatened to retaliate if Washington went ahead with scheduled drills with Seoul.
The United States and South Korea have postponed military drills criticised by North Korea, describing the move as an effort to bolster a stalled peace push.
The announcement came on Sunday, days after Pyongyang threatened to retaliate if the drills scheduled for later this month went ahead.
"I don't see this as a concession. I see this as a good faith effort ... to enable peace," US Defense Secretary Mark Esper said, as he announced the decision standing alongside his South Korean counterpart in Thailand's capital, Bangkok, where they were attending an Asia defence ministers' conference.
More:
As recently as Friday, when Esper was in Seoul to consult with South Korean officials, there was no word on postponing the military air exercise, which had been called "Vigilant Ace".
Seoul and Washington had scaled back the exercise recently and changed the name, but North Korea strongly objected, calling it evidence of a lack of interest in improving relations.
Pyongyang regularly opposes such US-South Korean joint military exercises, viewing them as a rehearsal for invasion.
For his part, South Korean Defence Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo said the exercise had been put off pending further consultations between Seoul and Washington, which has about 28,000 troops in South Korea.
No new date has been set.
Earlier this week, North Korea's nuclear negotiator Kim Myong Gil said Pyongyang had been offered a fresh meeting with the US but it was uninterested in more talks aimed at "appeasing us" before a year-end deadline set for Washington to show more flexibility in its negotiations.
North Korea has been seeking a lifting of punishing sanctions, but the US has insisted Kim must dismantle his nuclear weapons programme first.

Many Pictures
Motivation
I've often toyed around writing scripts to generate random images from google images. I thought it would be an interesting screensaver, since you never know what you're going to get!
Google images doesn't have a very good free API, despite the fact that anyone can make requests to google images from our browser for free. As such, the obvious approach I take would be to shoddily "reverse engineer" the google search bar to https://www.google.com/search?q=your+search+query+here&tbm=isch
[1]That last part &tbm=isch
tells google to only search images., then make an HTTP request & hope for the best. This approach typically ends in a buggy tool that mostly generates poor quality images.
This time around, in order to beat both issues, I decided to look into Pixabay. Pixabay is a nice website for finding free photos submitted by users, most of which are quite high quality given that they're forced to go through a layer of community voting first. It just so happens that Pixabay has a really nice free API that fit my purposes!
What is it?
Many Pictures is a screensaver website that uses Pixabay's public API in order to automatically scroll through images.
The entire purpose of Many Pictures is to act as a screensaver for when you have a computer that's sitting idle. The current version of Many Pictures scrolls through images in chronological order, and never repeats!
example of the 921st image added to Pixabay, including formatting
Problems
Pixabay's free API key has a limit of 100 requests per minute. If the scroll speed ever loads images faster than once per 600ms
, Many Pictures will detect it using a geometric average and throttle the scroll speed accordingly.
chart of the geometric average time vs the exact time the image took to load, including scroll speed
You can see in the above chart that the geometric average helps rough out any accidental speedups / slowdowns. When recording this data, I only ever increased the scroll speed, while the algorithm slowed it down. A nice side-effect of this approach is that all slowdowns are somewhat smooth, and typically occur all at once.
Usage
In order to use Many Pictures you need your own API key. 100 images per minute is too shallow of a limit for more than a few people to use at a time, but luckily Pixabay API keys are free! Use the following rules to grab your own key & plug it into Many Pictures.
- Go to https://pixabay.com/api/docs/
- Create a free account & login
- Ctrl+F "Your API key:" & copy the key (highlighted in green)
- Go to https://many-pictures.github.io/ and input your api key in the top input box
- Press enter
- Enjoy!
woooooo~
Feel free to check out GitHub if you'd like to see how I used the Pixabay API, or have any other questions

Published in Google's Chrome Experiments, and then licensed to Skrillex, Diplo, Grimes, Pretty Lights etc for their 2012 summer tour web site the Full Flex Express.
The effect is based on video feedback implemented with WebGL and its shading language, which means most of the work is done on your GPU. The videos are in WebM format which works on Chrome and Firefox.
Besides the presets, click to open the controls then paste in the URL of any video from YouTube to change the source. Then adjust the parameters to get it looking good. Then click on "share" and send the URL anywhere to reproduce what you see. (Note youtube changed the API so this no longer works, just the 8 preset videos.)
Basically it combines luma key with a feedback layer transformed with scale-rotate-translate and mirror tiling. The scale and rotation are connected to the mouse, but if you don't move the mouse for a while, then they get adjusted automatically.
You can get the source code from Github.


Hellblade: The Future of Game Design?
No matter what it looks like at first, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is more than meets the eye, a lesson you learn very quickly in the first cutscene as the game starts. From the intimate visuals to the visceral combat, this game stands out not only as an achievement in storytelling, but also in game design.
Before I dive into this, I highly recommend that you go play this game. It is free on Xbox Game Pass, and 50% off on the Playstation and Steam stores now. Slight spoilers ahead.
Independent AAA
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice was created by Ninja Theory, the studio known for games such as DmC: Devil May Cry and Heavenly Sword. While Ninja Theory made triple-A games, around 2013 they took a unique stance to project design. After realizing that the large market was favoring indie games over massive triple-A titles, they decided to go in between, developing what would become Hellblade as an “independent AAA” title.
For information on “Independent AAA” games, see this blog post on Hellblade’s website.
While this statement may seem paradoxical, it is more of a combination than a contradiction. AAA games have large budgets, hundreds of people, lots of marketing, and get to a high level of quality. Indie games are small, made by usually a group of friends, and are usually small-concept games. Tameem Antoniades, the head of Ninja Theory, sought to bridge the gap between the two. With a team of twenty developers, Ninja Theory worked for nearly four years before releasing it on PC in 2017.
Chronicles of Creation
One truly unique aspect of the development cycle of Hellblade was the openness the developers had with the community. Ninja Theory published 30 “Dev Diaries” over their development cycle, charting their course from the Gamescom reveal to the day of release. The problems they faced, the choices they made, and the creation of the game was on full display. At every stage, they turned to their community for help, whether it be for beta testing or jobs.
In addition, the “Diaries” also showed the true ingenuity of these “indie” developers. Cutscenes and animations were motion-captured not in a high-end studio room with multiple cameras everywhere, but a temporary meeting room with cheap studio lights. Senua, modeled off of and acted by Melina Juergens, was created in an amalgamation of ways, ranging from using a Raspberry pi, a camera, and an LED ring to create multiple images of her face. The result is a character model that is polished beyond belief.
Not all innovations were made in character capture, but also in the overall design process. No idea was thrown out immediately, and every avenue was explored, creating a game that feels unique in every way. Different levels have different effects and mechanics that feel fleshed out. The combat is visceral, with every blow you land and receive making an impact, and the enemies make you feel small, something few games achieve successfully.
Play It By Ear
By far, the most unique innovation in *Hellbladev is the use of sound. At first, this may seem like a misnomer, but it is one of the many things that sets this game apart. From the beginning, you are prompted to play this game with a headset, a move that makes a significant difference. See, Senua is not a normal protagonist. She isn’t alone in her own head. There are voices all around her, Furies that guide her through the world. They warn her of an incoming attack, hint at story elements, and more to create an atmosphere of ever-present unease.
Mental Shift
Senua is set apart from other gaming characters in that she is mentally ill, stricken with a form of psychosis that affects how she perceives the world. Her illness is deeply rooted in and affected by her backstory, one that we learn more about as the game unfolds. Ninja Theory took a big leap of faith, tackling one of the most controversial and underrepresented subjects in gaming: Mental Illness. Without diving too much into story, many dark places are explored, both literally and metaphorically, in ways that have never been seen before.
The Future of Game Design?
I can gush all I want about this game, but Hellblade has come and gone, leaving a mark on the industry as a whole. It encourages small developers not only to go out of their comfort zone, but also appeals to triple-A studios to watch their step. As the future unfolds, it is appearing more and more that people are in the market for games like Hellblade, not the next Black Ops or sequel. One can look no further than the recent less-than-stellar reception of many titles, both critically and by consumers.
Above all else, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a call to adventure. You can do amazing things, if you put your mind to it.

‘Breaking Bad’ wannabe chemistry professors arrested on meth charge
by The Associated PressARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Two Arkansas college chemistry professors have been arrested on charges of making meth, in an apparent case of life imitating art.
The Clark County sheriff’s office says Henderson State University professors Terry David Bateman and Bradley Allen Rowland were arrested Friday on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and using drug paraphernalia.
It wasn’t clear if they remained in jail Sunday, and a jail official said he couldn’t give out that information.
Tina Hall, a spokeswoman for the Arkadelphia-based school, says Bateman and Rowland have been on administrative leave since Oct. 11. She says three days earlier, police investigated a report of a chemical odor in the campus science center. She says the building reopened Oct. 29 after a company filtered the air.
The arrests drew comparisons to the central character in the hit TV series “Breaking Bad,” in which a high school chemistry teacher began making methamphetamine.


11 April 2011 - The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh has confirmed a new case of human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus.
The case is a 2 years old male from Kamalapur, Dhaka. He developed symptoms on 1 March. He visited the influenza sentinel surveillance site on 9 March where he was sampled. He completely recovered.
Detailed epidemiological investigation and contact follow up was conducted by a team from the Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR), the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh ( ICDDRB) and WHO Bangladesh, and no further cases were identified.
The investigation into the source of infection indicate that the case had exposure to sick poultry. Although the case is from the same locality as the previous case they had no direct contact with each other.
The case was confirmed as being infected with A(H5N1) by the Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research (IEDCR).


Headphone simulation of free-field listening. II: Psychophysical validation
Author: F.L. Wightman & D.J. Kistler
Date: February, 1989
Experiment 1
Subjects Tested: 8
| Variable | Description | Value(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Azimuth | Horizontal angular distance from median plane. | 0° to 360° @ 15° increments |
| Elevation | Vertical angular distacne from horizontal plane. | 54°, 36°, 18°, 0°,- 18°, and -36° |
| Distance | The distance from the central point in the head. | 1.38m radius |
| Sound Type | The sound type used. | 250ms Gaussian noise (20ms on/off ramp). 300ms silence between. |
| Sound Frequency | The sound frequency used. | Bandpassed with a tenth-order filter between 200Hz and 14kHz. |
...a subject indicates the apparent spatial position of a sound source by calling out numerical estimates of apparent azimuth and elevation, using standard spherical coordinates.
Results
Reference paper for full results. The basic premise is that HRTFs gives similar localizations to free-field. Given other studies different designs, the results of such experiments vary. Middlebrooks provides and overview of various similar studies.
Design Decisions
In the context of other similar studies, due to differences in methodology, results should be viewed with scepticis. One new considration that the paper presents is the abilty to filter sounds. The authors also give a way of determining the dispersion of spherical data.


Black to play 44
Unlimited game
pips Black=148 White=142
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
After the forced bar/21, it looks natural to make the 4pt with Black's two spares on his 8pt, especially since a strong board is typically a useful defense against having one's straggler attacked.
However, the race is still close, and so there's a lot of value in blocking in White's two back checkers by making the 9pt, which is 6 pips away, and preparing to make a solid five-prime with 11/7. In the (admittedly somewhat artificially constructed)
Variant position below, Black has an extra spare on his 8pt, so after making the 4pt, he still has spares on two different points to make the bar point if White misses.

ScriptRemote is a MEAN-stack project to provide secure remote access to scripted applications from a browser UI. Basically it is a messaging service between scripts running on machines in protected networks and browsers. Using the service it is easy to create web UI's for applications for which developing full-custom web or mobile apps would require too much time or resources.
In this simulated IOT example, a script sends a message containing some temperatures obtained from sensors and the current state of a fan switch. It then waits for a reply message, which can leave the fan state unchanged or flip it. The message cycle repeats indefinitely.
The screenshot on the left shows one of the messages viewed under the default UI settings. On the right the settings are changed to use a customized template that better matches the message content.
Here is the bash script:
#!/bin/bash
# Load utilities SR_start, SR_set, SR_send
. ./srio.sh
function read_temp {
# simulate temperature sensor
echo $((50 + RANDOM % 50))
}
fan_state=off
function fan_control {
# simulate fan control
fan_state="$1"
}
SR_start ${SRUSER} ${SRTOKEN} 'MyProject' 'FanControlJob'
while true
do
# read some temps
sensor1=$(read_temp 'sensor1')
sensor2=$(read_temp 'sensor2')
sensor3=$(read_temp 'sensor3')
# prepare temps to send
SR_set 'Sensor1' "$sensor1" 'false'
SR_set 'Sensor2' "$sensor2" 'false'
SR_set 'Sensor3' "$sensor3" 'false'
# prepare fan state to send, reply allowed
SR_set 'Fan' "$fan_state" 'true'
# send message, wait for reply
SR_send 'CheckTemps'
if [ "$SR_status" == 'REPLY_TIMEOUT' ]
then
# timed out
SR_clear
continue
elif [ "$SR_status" == 'OK' ]
then
# get fan reply
SR_get 'Fan'
if [ "$SR_output" != "$fan_state" ]
then
# change fan state
fan_control "$SR_output"
fi
else
# got an error
echo "$SR_status"
break
fi
done
SR_end
These are the customized Angular templates:
The 'ng' attributes provide the links to the Angular framework. A few HTML5 and bootstrap library features are used for styling. The second template is for the reply part of the message. The reply button is handled by the template's parent element so it does not appear here.

Temperature at {{item.name}}: <meter min="0" max="120" low="0.01" high="90" optimum="78" value="{{item.value}}"></meter>{{item.value}}F

Fan state:

<input type="radio" ng-model="replyContent[0].value" value="off">Off

<input type="radio" ng-model="replyContent[0].value" value="on">On

If you would like to try a few tests with ScriptRemote before installing there is a demo server. To use it:
Register
Login and get API credentials by selecting Settings in the menu bar and then clicking Generate in the API Credentials section
Copy the API credentials to the test system
Download a utility script (bash in this example) to the test system:
>$ wget https://scriptremote.com/dist/srio.sh
The test system also needs to have curl
installed.
Start with a simple test case:
>$ cat > test.sh
#!/bin/bash
. ./srio.sh
SR_start ${SRUSER} ${SRTOKEN} 'myproject' 'myjob'
SR_set 'myhello' 'Hello World, how are you?' 'false'
SR_send 'mysend'
SR_set 'myreply' 'I am ...' 'true'
SR_send 'mysend'
SR_get 'myreply'
SR_end
Export the API credentials and run the test:
>$ export SRUSER=<youruserid>
>$ export SRTOKEN=<yourtoken>
>$ bash test.sh
The messages should now be accessible under Projects in the menu bar. Submitting a modified reply to the second message should cause the script to display the new value. If the test system is behind a proxy server you may need to set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable.
There are some limits per user on the amount of data residing on the demo server: 2 projects, up to 10 jobs per project, up to approximately 1MB of message data per job.
Installation methods vary depending on the platform chosen and level of availability needed for the service. Only simple installation options can be covered here.
A basic platform choice is between public and private servers.
Public server - Has a public IP and domain name, is probably hosted by a cloud provider, implements standard security protections. Browser access is similar to that for any public website. Script connections to the server will traverse firewalls and/or proxies on the client side, and possibly load balancers/reverse proxies on the server side. Those systems only need to allow script-to-server https requests because long-polling is used for server-to-script data transfer. Support for https/tls is necessary in order to secure browser and script connections.
Private server - Is located in a protected network, probably the same one containing the scripted application. Browser access is through a VPN or SSH tunnel client running on the remote device. Script connections might traverse internal firewalls. Use of TLS on the server may not be required if connections through the public net are otherwise protected and there is sufficient confidence in the security of the private network.
For a small site not needing high availability, the server can just be a machine, VPS, or container that can support a MEAN-stack environment and forward email. Another option is a platform-as-a-service vendor that supports MEAN-stack.

The X Files (1998)
***1/2 out of *****
Cast: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Martin Landau, Blythe Danner, William B. Davis, Armin Mueller-Stahl, John Neville, Terry O'Quinn, Glenne Headly, Tom Braidwood, Dean Haglund, Bruce Harwood
Written by: Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz Directed by: Rob Bowman Running Time: 120 minutes
** This Review Contains Spoilers**
I have mixed reactions when it comes to The X Files. I'm a big fan of the show, so naturally I'd be a fan of the film. And I did like the film. It has all of the elements which makes the television series enjoyable: aliens, government conspiracies, etc etc. But overall, it's TOO much like the show. In other words it would have made a great episode, but there's nothing really there to merit me having to pay for something that I get to see for free every week.
I would think that when you make a feature film out of a television series that is still in production, there would be some reason to do so other than money. Apparently not. The story being told in the film should be one that just simply can't be told within the confines of the small screen. But aside from the score being a little bit grander, the screen a little bigger, and a couple of visual effects, there's no reason for this to be a feature film. It's hardly even a sweeps week episode.
And as far as the specifics of the story go, what plot elements haven't we seen before in the series? When the film begins, the X Files division has been shut down (seen that). The powers that be then try to split FBI agents Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) apart (seen that). Scully plans on quitting the FBI (seen that). Mulder then asks Scully "How can you say that? After everything we've seen?" (seen that). Shadowy characters seek out Agent Mulder to tell him secrets (seen that). Those shadowy characters are soon killed (seen that). The other shadowy characters decide that instead of killing Agent Mulder (which would of course, solve all their problems) that they will take Agent Scully away from him and do harm to her (seen that). Mulder will attempt to discover aliens, but doesn't even bother to bring along a pocket camera to document his inevitable discovery (seen that). In the end, Mulder and Scully have experienced something which makes them want to go on and pursue their work, even though they have no hard evidence of anything at all. Yep, I've seen that too.
Then there are new elements of the story which perplex me. For example, usually when the evil powers that be decide to cover something up, people die.  Ok. Then, it's revealed that the aliens that the government had been conspiring with (and which aliens were we having the conversations with, the black ooze aliens or the snarling monster aliens?) have double-crossed them.  Seems to me that would change some motivations. Obviously not.
Please don't get me wrong with all of this though, the film did entertain me. It also managed to entertain the friend that went with me who hasn't even seen an episode of the show. So I guess it did what it intended to do, which is to get both fans and non-fans of the show to buy a movie ticket. I just wish The X Files had been more feature-film worthy. [PG-13]

In order to call a positive sample, it is necessary for one well to return a valid negative result. Without this, it cannot be concluded that positive results and not due to PCR contamination.
The negative control should only be omitted if you expect at least one negative result, i.e. you are running a high number of samples and expect most will be negative.


The circular clipping effect seen in Snapchat is quite interesting. I've refered to Hyengjoo Nam's delightful example of a SVG spinner to create this demo today. The base SVG module was created by Josh Puckett works great for creating the clipping spinner seen in Snapchat. Click "My Story" to view my snap and the time spinner, then drag on the snap to view the clipping effect.
View PrototypeI was inspired by Peter Gr's recreation of the New York Time's interactive widget on Usain Bolt's Olympic start time. Upon examining Peter's work, I found his use of performance.now() quite interesting and decided to create a similar timer with real-time time updates.
View PrototypeI was quite impressed with Fran Perez's 3D dragging demo and decided to utilize the core logic to build something interesting. I modified the logic so that the swinging angles now depend on where you drag. It's not exactly what I wanted but the process of working on this was quite fun.
View PrototypeI saw Jonas Treub's quick Apple Music interaction prototype and recreated it from scratch.
View PrototypeThe Clear iOS app pioneered a great set of micro-interactions regarding lists a few years ago. I wanted to recreate the experience. There are still a few bugs in the prototype but the overal experience is there. Pull down and drag left and right to view effects.
View PrototypeI saw Benjamin E Saravia's very cool demo of a spinner and decided to try something similar. I used much of Benjamin's setup code but decided to try a new logic of achieving a similar effect. Drag the prototype to see it spin.
View PrototypeToday I wanted to do something I've seen for quite a bit: Facebook's iPad app video pop-up interaction. I've repurposed it for FB's iPhone app by making the in-feed video the same as regular link thumbnails - i.e. without being full-bleed. I've kept the auto-play when scrolling feature. Tap the video to see it fullscreen, tap again or drag it to close it.
View PrototypeI've very much enjoyed SoundCloud's iOS experience since it was updated last year. For today's project, I decided to recreate it. It turned out to be much more complex than I had anticipated. The prototype is a bit slow and laggy due to the three Utils.interval functions I used to keep track of time and change the music bar background color.
View PrototypeI saw Brian Bailye's awesome demo on Chrome's Speech Reconigtion API and decided to do a rebound of it for Siri. Here's result. You'd need to allow Microphone acess from Chrome (v.33 or above). Desktop Chrome Only.
View PrototypeI saw Anadea Inc's great prototpye and thought of a few ways to improve its UX. In my prototype the swipe gesture can be discovered via the add button. The interaction took way longer than I expected to build, nevertheless it was quite a very rewarding experience. I've learned a lot about how to use nested loops, parse string to integer and updating counts. Interact with the third wine to view the effects.

The Background
The web has been built around the idea of a same origin policy, and to get around that, CORS.
The jist of this is that "odd" requests can not be sent to one domain from another. CORS allows web sites to ignore this, or allow certain domains to send "odd" requests. "Odd" here means anything that is not POST or GET. It also blocks many content types, such as application/xml or application/json. Many API based sites use PUT or DELETE calls in order to make requests. This makes them practically non-CSRF'able. Many sites also use all JSON requests, which should in-theory act the same way. Since an attacker can not force another domain to send application/json to a seperate domain.
The Fun Part
In my experience, many JSON parsers do not quite conform to the JSON RFC. According to the spec, JSON has a content type as follows:
content-type: application/json
As such, an attacker can not make their own personal domain send an XHR request with this content type, without the browser flagging it, and sending a CORS preflight reqeust to ask for permission from the other domain. The problem lies in that many JSON parsers do not actually check the Request headers. They are not actually confirming that this was a "JSON" request, so much as it looks like a JSON request. In many cases, an attacker can create an XHR request on their domain to send a body with a JSON formatted text, but includes a content-type header set to text/plain. Because the content type is not "odd", the browser will not flag the request, and will send this XHR request without first sending the CORS preflight request.
I have tested this in PHP using the default json_decode. It works fine, without additional code, json_decode() does not check the content-type header. As such, any site written in PHP, using all JSON requests, is probably still vulnerable to CSRF attacks.
Thoughts
Basically OWASP recommends using randomized nonces (a random token) in the body of every request. This token should be long and have good entropy. It should also be a different token for every reqeust, for every session. Further reading can be found at OWASP - CSRF. It is not sufficient to depend on Same Origin policy. Even with other HTTP Verbs, such as PUT or DELETE. CORS and SOP have been bypassed in the past, and will be again.
As for attackers, before you write off a JSON only site as non-CSRF'able, make sure to try changing up the content-type headers. You may be able to attack this nonetheless.

Building an API driven Javascript app brings about challenges for authentication that I've taken for granted when working with traditional http frameworks. In this post, I'll outline the basic concepts of what a session is, and how we manage sessions with Backbone.js.
HTTP is a stateless protocol. This means that nothing is remembered from one request to the next. This is great for normal content sites, but lacking when building a webapp. A normal HTTP request lifecycle looks like this:
But for webapps, we need to have a concept of a logged in user and unauthenticated user. Web frameworks hide this in a Session abstraction. The gist of how an authentication request flow works look like:
First a user will submit a login form to the backend. Instead of just returning a response, the backend will generate and remember a session id that it can use to look up this particular login for later requests. This session id is passed back to the client as a cookie value.
Now whenever the client makes a request, the cookie will also be sent to the backend. The backend can then check to value to know whether the user is authenticated and authorized to access the resource they're requesting.
With the theory part out of the way, here's how we structured authentication in Backbone.js. First, we created a Session model.
App.Models.Session = Backbone.Model.extend
defaults:
access_token: null,
user_id: null
initialize: ->
@load()
authenticated: ->
Boolean(@get("access_token"))
# Saves session information to cookie
save: (auth_hash)->
$.cookie('user_id', auth_hash.id)
$.cookie('access_token', auth_hash.access_token)
# Loads session information from cookie
load: ->
@set
user_id: $.cookie('user_id')
access_token: $.cookie('access_token')
This model has a simple and straightforward interface. When it's initialized, it looks for an existing login with the jQuery cookie plugin. If it finds this information, it'll set the access_token
and user_id
for later use. Once an access_token
is set, then the authenticated
method will return true.
In our main application, we'll have a single entry point for our application that'll route the user the based on whether they're authenticated or not.
App.start = ->
@session = new App.Models.Session()
if @session.authenticated()
# redirect to user page
else
# launch a login form
With this, all of your pages can run App.start()
at the bottom of a page to initialize any authentication logic.
Backbone.js makes no assumptions about what you're using for generating sessions in your backend. In our app, we're using oauth authentication, which is why our key is named access_token
, but this pattern can be applied to whatever authentication system your backend uses.

This thematic Ofsted inspection, titled ‘The sexual exploitation of children: it couldn’t happen here, could it?’ was commissioned to evaluate the effectiveness of local authorities’ current response to child sexual exploitation.
The report draws on evidence from:
inspection and case examination in 8 local authorities
the views of children and young people, parents, carers, practitioners and managers
themes from the aligned inspections of 36 children’s homes
the collation of findings from the 33 published inspections of services for children in need of help and protection, * children looked after and care leavers
reviews of local safeguarding children boards
Supporting the thematic reports are the guidance documents that were used by the inspectors in carrying out the inspection fieldwork, including the notification letter to the local authorities that were involved.
