5 memorable moments from the 2019 Rugby World Cup


This is the second attempt at SpigotServerBuilder, the old one, made in java, is very sloppy, stiched together, and not optimized. Version 2 is much cleaner and easier to use, it is way more efficient and has way more potential. This version is made using Electron, a JavaScript and Chrome based framework.

The first step is to setup a public and private key for yourself so that you can access the server via ssh without entering your password. This will make it much easier to push and pull changes from the source code repository on the server.
Open a terminal and type:
ssh -p 19999<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Enter your password when prompted. You're now logged in to the server. Commands entered in this terminal window will be executed on the server instead of on your laptop. The command prompt should change to show something like this:
matt@zoidberg:~$
Open a new terminal window. This one will be used for executing commands on your laptop. This command prompt will probably look something like this:
matt@matt-laptop:~$
(Assuming "matt-laptop"
is what your computer is named)
Very importantly:
Take care to enter commands into the correct terminal.
In the terminal on your local PC (matt-laptop) first make a new directory inside your home folder and then navigate to it.
mkdir ~/.ssh cd ~/.ssh
Enter the command below in your laptop terminal window.
ssh-keygen -t rsa
You'll be prompted to enter a password. Press enter to skip this and press enter again when prompted to re-enter the password. This command will create two files in this directory. The first file id_rsa is your private key. Keep this file on your local pc and don't share it with anyone. The other file id_rsa.pub is your public key. You'll put a copy of this on the server. When connecting to the the server from your laptop the server will compare your public and private keys and verify that you're actually you without needing you to enter your login and password.
Enter the command below to copy your public key from your laptop to the server.
scp -P 19999 ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub matt@kotsf.dynip.com:/home/matt
The command scp is like ssh except insteas of establishing a shell connection with the server, it copies files back and forth. Take note that the argument -P specifying the port to use to connect to the server is a CAPITAL "P". I'm not sure why this is different than ssh, but it's the kind of thing that can trip you up.
Now switch to the terminal on the server. (matt@zoidberg:~$) First we need to make a new .ssh directory here, then move your public key into a file named authorized_keys inside that directory.
mkdir /home/matt/.ssh mv /home/matt/id_rsa.pub /home/matt/.ssh/authorized_keys
You'll need to set the permissions for this directory so that you'll be the only one who can edit these files.
chown -R matt:trusted /home/matt/.ssh chmod 700 /home/matt/.ssh chmod 600 /home/matt/.ssh/authorized_keys
Finally, use emacs to open a file in your home directory called .bashrc.
emacs ~/.bashrc
Go to the end of this file and add the following two lines.
export PS1='\[\033[0;35m\]\h\[\033[0;33m\] \w\[\033[00m\]: ' export EDITOR=emacs
The first line makes it so your command prompt on the server will appear in a different color. This is helpful when you have multiple terminal windows open to distinguish between the command prompt on the server and the one on your laptop. The second line sets your default editor to emacs. Enter the following command to apply these changes.
source ~/.bashrc
For coding with python, you'll need to set up a directory to store the code in. You'll also need to tell the Python interpreter where this directory is located so it knows where to look when executing your code.
First navigate to your home directory and make a new directory called python
cd ~ mkdir python
There are several ways of letting python know you'll be storing code in this directory. One is to add the following line to your .bashrc file.
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:/home/matt/python
The downside of this method is that it only works for one user. The .bashrc file is specific to each user who logs onto the system. If we needed to add a new python code location for all users on the system we could do so by adding a symbolic link to python's default directory. This may vary on depending on the version of python you have, but it's probably something like /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages. We can make a link here with the following commands:
cd /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages sudo ln -s /home/matt/python/
You'll use this method in the next step when setting up Django.
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo easy_installl pip sudo pip install virtualenv
cd /usr/local/src sudo mkdir env sudo chown -R "user" env cd env sudo virtualenv gd source gd/bin/activate pip install django pip install ElementTree pip install Markdown pip install Requests pip install Tweepy pip install pygments pip install south pip install gunicorn
sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev python-dev
In the virtual-env...
source gd/bin/activate pip install MySQL-python
This program depends on having a MySql database set up with a certain name, as well as a MySql user defined with the correct login name and password. MySql should be installed on your system and set up to run the database server program automatically when the computer starts. To access the database you need to start the client program from the command line. When you installed MySql you created a root account and password. You'll need these to login to MySql to create a new user. Start the MySql client program from the command line with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
This starts the MySql client program and tells it you wish to login as the root user and to be prompted for a password. Enter your password at the prompt. If all goes well you'll find yourself at a MySql prompt, which looks like this:
mysql>
Enter the command below to create a new database.
CREATE DATABASE tcd;
Now we need a user named "tcd". Our Django app will login to the MySql server as this user to shuffle data back and forth from the database. Create that user with the command below.
 TO 'tcd'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'T4fgAD';
The clause "IDENTIFIED BY..." defines the password for this user. This needs to be the same password stored in the settings.py file for our Django app, which gets set up in step 8. Once this is done, you can leave the MySql client program by typing "exit" at the command prompt.
Mercurial is the source control program I'm using for this project. You can download and install this program by entering the following at the command line.
sudo apt-get install mercurial
Once this program is installed you'll need to change a couple of settings. The global settings for mercurial are located in a file called /etc/mercurial/hgrc. Open this file with emacs:
sudo emacs /etc/mercurial/hgrc
and enter the following to set up the correct configuration.
# user interface settings [ui] username= Matt Quinn<EMAIL_ADDRESS>editor=emacs merge=meld
This can go anywhere in the file. If there are already lines with these variables that have different values, replace them with the above.
Now that everything is in place, we can download the tcd source code. This is done by cloning the repository with mercurial via ssh. You'll want to store this in the /home/matt/python folder we created earlier by navigating there before cloning the repository.
cd /home/matt/python/ hg clone ssh://matt@kotsf.dynip.com:19999//usr/local/src/tcd/
Take note that there are TWO slashes between 19999 and usr. This is important because a single slash tells ssh that you're looking for a path relative to your home directory on the server, which isn't the case.
Now, there are a couple of files which aren't tracked by the source code management. The reason for this is that they need to be different based on whether they're on your local PC or the server, because they contain specific settings for the tcd app. You'll have to copy these files over manually.
cd tcd scp -P 19999 matt@kotsf.dynip.com:/usr/local/src/tcd/settings.py settings.py cd templates scp -P 19999 matt@kotsf.dynip.com:/usr/local/src/tcd/templates/specific_base.html specific_base.html
Now that you have these files. there are a couple of changes you'll need to make so that they'll work on your system. First open settings.py. Look for the entries below and change them to these values.
MEDIA_ROOT = 'home/matt/python/tcd/static/' MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost/static/' TEMPLATE_DIRS= ( "/home/matt/python/tcd/templates" )
Now open templates/specific_base.html and change the contents to the following.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://localhost/static/tcd.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost/static/tcdstyle.css" />
Hopefully you were able to set up the Apache web server from the previous set of instructions. If so, go to the directory where apache is installed. In here there should be a folder called htdocs. This is the default place where Apache goes to look for files to serve, and it should be the current place unless you've changed it. In here make a new directory named static. Inside this directory we're going to make some symbolic links to the CSS stylesheet and javascript files for TCD.
cd APACHE_INSTALL_DIR/htdocs/ sudo mkdir static && cd static sudo ln -s /home/matt/python/tcd/static/tcd.js sudo ln -s /home/matt/python/tcd/static/tcdstyle.css
Since Django is not really intended to serve static data, it requires a seperate server set up for it. When starting the development server, it will be necessary to start Apache first for the webpage to display properly.
If everything has been set up correctly so far, then we should be ready to start the development server. This is a simple server program included with Django for testing programs. First we'll need to start Apache to serve the static pages, then we can start the development server. This must be done from within the TCD directory.
cd /home/matt/python/tcd/ sudo httpd python manage.py runserver
Now open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8000. You should see the TCD front page (though without any submissions on it).

1. Bring a written list of questions that you may have about classroom procedures, homework, grading, etc.
2. Stay on topic. The conference is set up so you can discuss your child’s progress with the teacher. You shouldn’t get into a discussion about your child’s siblings academics, or your personal life unless it affects your child’s ability to perform at school.
3. Find out what you can do to help your child at home to be successful at school.
4. Be open-minded. We all want our children to succeed and sometimes it’s hard to hear that they are behind or disruptive in class.
5. It’s ok to ask how your child is performing in relation to the rest of the class. “Which reading group is my son in?” “How is my daughter doing in math compared to the other students in the class?” “Is she average, below or above in social skills?” These are all appropriate questions to ask.
6.  Is she a math wiz or perhaps a future author, artist or scientist? Ask the teacher in order to get a better insight into your child’s strengths and interests.
7. If your child has behavior issues, offer to follow up at home. Ask for behavior notes and let your child know that misbehavior at school will have consequences at home.
8. Remember that a teacher’s time is as valuable as your own. He or she probably has more than twenty conferences. An efficient conference should last 15-20 minutes tops.
9. If a teacher gives you advice or tips on how to work with your child in a subject area, follow that advice. She has the professional insight to know what kind of a learner your child is and how to best teach to his individual needs.
10. If you’re able to, offer your time to help out in class or do some prep work at home.

There are 5 rational pirates, A, B, C, D and E. They find 100 gold coins. They must decide how to distribute them.
The pirates have a strict order of seniority: A is superior to B, who is superior to C, who is superior to D, who is superior to E.
The pirate world's rules of distribution are thus: that the most senior pirate should propose a distribution of coins. The pirates then vote on whether to accept this distribution. If the distribution is accepted, the coins are disbursed and the game ends. If not, the proposer is thrown overboard from the pirate ship and dies, and the next most senior pirate makes a new proposal to begin the system again.
Pirates base their decisions on two factors and options below. First of all, each pirate wants to survive. Second, given survival, each pirate wants to maximize the number of gold coins he receives. The pirates do not trust each other, and will neither make nor honor any promises between pirates apart from a proposed distribution plan that gives a whole number of gold coins to each pirate.

 They are too small, microscopic. We can only see the macroscopic objects the tiny things make up (and in the case of air, we can’t see it at all!).
This website is a series of explanations on how the tiny, microscopic things are connected to the big, macroscopic things that we can see, hear and feel. We will ask the question:
What are the macroscopic consequences of being made up of many microscopic things?
The explanations will include simulations of many tiny things, as you can see above. Not only are these simulations running in real time, they are also interactive. Try clicking, holding and dragging in the simulations above and see what happens!

Toad's Performance Of 'Shallow' Should Win A Grammy
by Chris KohlerNoted vocalist Toad has finally released his long-awaited version of “Shallow,” the Oscar-winning duet from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, and it is truly the height of vocal performance. If you’ve already written a piece about the top songs of the decade, talk about bad timing!
Toad, of course, is a big Gaga fan himself, having apparently attended a concert of hers last year:
Toad’s musical range is unparalleled. You may remember his breathtaking rendition of Sia’s “Chandelier” from last year.
Staggering.
(In reality, these are all the hilarious creations of melancholiaa, who is quite a good singer when she’s not blowing out her vocal cords for laughs.)


President Alvi, PM Imran condole demise of UAE Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed
by News DeskPresident Dr Arif Alvi and Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday extended their deepest condolences to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) rulers over the sad demise of Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan — brother of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan — who passed away on Monday.
The Pakistani leaders sent separate condolence messages expressing their grief and sorrow over the death of Sheikh Sultan who was the second son of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan – the founder of UAE.
They also prayed for eternal peace of the departed soul and for courage and strength of the Al Nahyan family and the fraternal people of UAE to bear this irreparable loss with fortitude.
With numerous portfolios, Sheikh Sultan was serving as the President’s Representative, and was chairman of the Emirates Heritage Club.
He was also a member of the Supreme Petroleum Council and a member of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

IN DREAMS (DreamWorks) Starring: Annette Bening, Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea, Robert Downey Jr. Screenplay: Bruce Robinson and Neil Jordan, based on the novel "Doll's Eyes" by Bari Wood. Producer: Stephen Woolley. Director: Neil Jordan.  Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Somehow, there's something even more icky about an exploitative and routine horror film that tarts up its exploitation and routineness with plenty of style. Such is the case with Neil Jordan's IN DREAMS, a psychological thriller which lets its atmospheric creepiness disintegrate into a trite chase-n-terrorize puree. Annette Bening stars as Claire Cooper, a Massachusetts-based children's book illustrator with a picture-book life: lovely rural New England home, loving husband Paul (Aidan Quinn), beautiful young daughter Rebecca (Katie Sagora) and loyal dog Dobie. She also posesses a spark of psychic ability which she has had all her life, one which seems to be getting stronger as she has visions connected to the disappearance of a local schoolgirl. Then Rebecca is abducted, and Claire comes to believe that she is psychically connected to a serial killer -- and that the killer is similarly connected to her.
For a while, it looks like IN DREAMS is going to be a thriller of a different stripe, something as dramatically and visually compelling as it is viscerally shocking. Darius Khondji, the gifted cinematographer behind SEVEN, gives IN DREAMS the same menacing silver tint and twisted light, including an eerie opening underwater sequence in a submerged town. The story takes Claire on a descent into genuine madness, the kind that makes a character truly unpredictable and interesting to watch. Bening is a superb actress, and she makes the most of Claire fumbling for answers with the last shreds of her sanity. The script also presents the idea that the killer is a tormented soul who wants Claire to catch him, setting up a potentially complex relationship when they finally do meet.
Gradually, however, IN DREAMS starts to lose its way. Partly it seems rushed, with scenes slammed together too quickly to develop the necessary foreboding. Partly it seems sloppy, increasingly depending on ridiculous contrivances (Claire being confined in exactly the same room once occupied by the killer, for instance) and the blandly counter-productive analysis of Claire's psychiatrist (Jordan regular Stephen Rea, sporting a distracting accent). And partly it seems mean-spirited, using graphic murders for shock value or imperiled children for sympathy value, rather than building interest in the characters. Over its final 45 minutes, IN DREAMS begins a slow but steady descent from potent psychological thriller to careless mess.
And then, when Robert Downey Jr. finally appears as the killer Vivian, it careens out of control entirely. Decked out in flowing red tresses and whispering in an effeminate drawl, Downey exercises every ghastly overacting muscle in his body simultaneously. To be fair to Downey, the role is a serial killer cliche -- he's a Norman Bates momma's boy with _serious_ gender role issues -- without a remotely sympathetic quality, dashing hopes of a mind-game showdown into the rocks. Instead it's all guns and sharp objects, running and screaming, until a bleak, unsatisfying and confounding resolution. It's a huge disappointment coming from Neil Jordan, a film-maker who has consistently made films that defied expectations -- THE COMPANY OF WOLVES, THE CRYING GAME, THE BUTCHER BOY. In a sad way, that's exactly what he does here. Just when you expect IN DREAMS might turn out to be a memorably disturbing horror film, it turns out to be a gutless, nihilistic tease.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 daydream believers: 4.

Taylor Swift Looked Like a Freakin' Goddess at the AMAs
by Kelsie Gibson
Taylor Swift was the guest of honor at the American Music Awards on Sunday night. The "Lover" singer, who received the artist of the decade award at the show, looked absolutely stunning as she hit the red carpet in sparkly green dress and thigh-high boots. Perhaps she and BFF Selena Gomez planned their outfits together?
In addition to her big award, Taylor passionately thanked her fans for their dedication and performed a medley of her biggest hits from the past decade alongside friends Camila Cabello and Halsey. See more of Taylor's monumental night ahead.

(Reuters) - Under Armour Inc (UA.N) (UAA.N) on Monday cut its forecast for annual revenue for a second time this year, the latest sign of problems for the sportswear maker that is facing a federal probe into its accounting practices.
Shares of the company closed about 19% lower after a media report that the company was being investigated for shifting sales from quarter to quarter to appear financially healthier.
In a conference call with analysts, Under Armour executives defended the company’s accounting practices and disclosures, and said they were cooperating with the federal investigators.
The company is facing increasing competition from big players like Nike Inc (NKE.N) in the United States, its largest market, and to gain market share it has been trying to sell merchandise directly to customers through its own retail stores and online at full prices.
However, the shift is yet to yield results for the company as most of its customers are used to buying merchandise in department and retail stores at a discounted price.
While the company’s plan to cut its sales through off-price channels has boosted margins, Under Armour said it will impact its growth in annual revenue.
“(We) don’t have much excess product to sell in the off-price channel,” Chief Operating Officer Patrik Frisk told analysts. He will replace long-time Chief Executive Officer Kevin Plank early next year.
The sportswear maker now expects revenue growth of about 2% in fiscal 2019 compared with the prior forecast of a 3% to 4% rise.
Fewer sales at discounted prices boosted margins by 220 basis points in the third quarter, helping its quarterly profit beat market expectations.
The company also forecast annual profit to be at he higher end of its prior range of about 33 cents to 34 cents per share.
“You expect that sometimes a company’s growth will start leveling out... but if they are trying to postpone the inevitable by messing with their accounting practices... That’s bad,” Paula Rosenblum, a retail analyst with RSR Research, said.
Net income rose 40% to $102.3 million or 23 cents per share in the quarter, beating analysts’ estimates of 18 cents, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Net revenue fell about 1% to $1.43 billion, but was above analyst expectation of $1.41 billion.

Throughout this site I'm using Webp Detect to serve webp images to browsers who advertise that they accept that type of image in their accept header. Many thanks go too Eugene Lazutkin (@uhop) and Ilya Grigorik (@igrigorik) for fleshing this all out.
Microsoft Edge now advertises that they accept "image/jxr" in their accept header. The Image below should read "Webp" on Chrome/Blink based browsers, "JPG" for Firefox Old IE and old Opera, and "JXR" for Microsoft Edge - at least as of Edge 20.10240.16384.0 .
Image has been scaled down to 800x533 and the JPG image optimized through MozJpeg .
Getting the ability to serve JXR files to Microsoft Edge calls for at the least two changes to the solution linked above by Eugene Lazutkin and Ilya Grigorik. If your mime.types
already has the correct mime type for jxr images you're already half way there.
First step is to add in the proper mime type for jxr images inside Nginx's mime.types
image/vnd.ms-photo jxr wdp hdp;
# image/jxr jxr wdp hdp; will break the negotiation in Edge 20.10240.16384.0
Follow this up by changing $webp_suffix in the $http_accept map directive to $img_suffix and adding in the map parameters for jxr.
map $http_accept $img_suffix {
"~*webp" ".webp";
"~*jxr" ".jxr";
}
The last change needed is in the location block you are serving your images from in the "try_files".
# example location block only dealing with images with these extensions
location ~* \.(?:png|jpe?g|gif|webp|jxr)$ {
expires 1y;
add_header Vary $vary_header;
add_header Cache-Control $cache_control;
# now serve our images
try_files $uri$img_suffix $uri =404;
}
If you'd like to do this with Apache have a look a Webp Detect - Apache . It doesn't have jxr built in with it and I'm not very good with Apache rewrites but it can set you up with at least webp!
 So if you're not into installing source and building a tool I suggest using Microsoft's JXR PhotoShop Plugin or GIMP's JPEG XR plugin . The command line tool gives you better compression and file size but it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks to use. There's very little documentation, ImageMagick's jxr conversion seems broken each time I try to use it too.
For the command line tool on Ubuntu install libjxr-tools. It should install all the dependencies then you can go about creating a jxr image with a slight caveat. JxrEncApp only takes three types of images as input.
Like I said. A GIANT PAIN. So in your image editor of choice save an image or convert it too tiff then run a command similar to the one below.
JxrEncApp -i input-file.tif -o output-file.jpg.jxr -q 0.6
The -q
parameter is for quality. Ranges are from 0.0 - 1.0 with the default of 1.0 being lossless. Typing JxrEncApp into your terminal will give you all the options. Good Luck haha.
Creating Webp Images on the other other hand is fairly straight forward with a few tools to actually use.
I created the large webp image as follows
cwebp -q 70 pineapples-800-to-webp.jpg -o pineapples-800.jpg.webp
Converting a gif to animated webp
gif2webp 15simplependulum.gif -o 15simplependulum.gif.webp
Converting Simple Pendulum by Lookang which is 707KB to an animated webp returns a 354kb animated webp.
| File | Size |
|---|---|
| JPG | 52kb |
| Jpeg XR (jxr) | 53kb (0.5 Quality) |
| Webp | 33kb (50 Quality) |
Note on File Sizes
Other Images compress better with JPEG XR its really trial and error. For Instance the Lena Reference Image using ImageMagick to convert from tiff to jpg we get a JPG image that is 42KB.
convert -quality 80 lena512color.tiff lena.jpg
The 80 quality JPG compressed with MozJPEG through NPM will give us a 26kb file.
mozjpeg -outfile lena-jpg-moz.jpg -quality 70 lena.jpg
Using JxrEncApp to convert the tiff to jxr we will get a JXR that is 25KB
JxrEncApp -i lena512color.tiff -o lena-tiff-to-jxr.jxr -q 0.4
Using cwebp to convert the 80 quality JPG to webp at a quality of 60 will give us a 18kb image.
cwebp -q 60 lena.jpg -o lena-60.webp
Serving these browser specific image formats can give us big gains (specifically webp in most instances) compared to a non-optimized image format. JXR images can/do offer good compression for some images but MozJpeg gives us that, offers tooling for multiple OS's and can be used for anything that accepts a JPG image (read every browser) unlike JXR.
You can find the images I mentioned above, the Lena reference image (and links to mozjpeg tools) in my github linked below with the nginx.conf.
| Lena Image Type | Size |
|---|---|
| jpg | 42KB (80 Quality) |
| MozJpeg | 26kb (70 Quality) |
| Jpeg XR (jxr) | 25KB (0.4 Quality) |
| Webp | 18kb (60 Quality) |
You can find an example of the nginx.conf file and an updated mime.types with jxr mime types at my Github page .
Also any questions just file an issue and I'll try to help as best I can. Or head over to webp-detects github page linked above and ask there. They are the ones who got this whole ball rolling!

Will-Power
í
Although this blog is publicly available, this post is some sort of reflection.
The purpose of this post is to motivate other people by answering the reason for the following statement.
I try to live up to the value "will-power":
Disagree 1 ----- 2 ----- 3 ----- 4 ----- 5 Agree ----- 6
In the following, I won't explain how I developed my will-power. That's because it doesn't matter. We are all living our own lives, and no one experiences anywhere near the same situations. I will only tell why you should have a strong mind, and why there's no reason to ever give up! In my mind, the best way to motivate people is to give them a reason for their hard work. If there exists a goal that is worth fighting for, people will figure out how to get there.
The reasons I will give rely on logic. They don't take emotions very much into account, because this is not possible. There are millions of different life situations and every single one triggers different emotions. So the only option one has when giving advice, is to be as neutral (free of emotion) as possible, in order to adress anybody.
If everyone would only follow these logical reasons, depression and other mental illnesses wouldn't exist (besides from endocrine disorders, of course). It's the emotions that lead to often illogical decisions. As emotions almost always play a roll in decisions, the following can be understood in a more theoretical/philosophical way than in a practical. Nevertheless it can serve as a guidance for mentally wounded and/or philosophically interested people.
 Those are really my best advices that (re)strengthen one's will-power and they apply to almost any situation.

In general, two "tricks" helped me getting a thick skin:
-
Whenever you are in a difficult situation, even if you've already panicked and you are running in circles, think about the far future. The near future is then your enemy. It is what makes you panic. You think "if I don't achieve this, that won't work out and then the sky falls down!". But really try to focus on what might come in a few years or even decades. This has two advantages:
First, it has the immediate effect of calming you down. For instance, if you think of how you are old and your grandchildren are playing in the garden, all the daily trouble you're currently facing becomes nothing but smoke and mirrors.
Second, it enables you to think tactically rather than short-term oriented. Freeing your mind from the operational problems, broadens the view for things that might be more important in order to solve overriding problems. - Imagine the view of you, trying to fight a particular problem, from outer space. This is a very good method to accurately qualify your situation. What this concept shows, is that the mankind is so small compared to whole wide universe. That means that the single individuals on earth are even smaller. Every individual has to deal with many problems during their lives. There are many individuals... It teaches us to think about whether a certain problem really is as important as you think it is. It doesn't mean that your problem is not important at all or that is doesn't need to be solved. Just take a breath and have in mind that you don't need to panic, because there's probably someone out there who faced a similar issue before and was able to resolve it.
 Those are really my best advices that (re)strengthen one's will-power and they apply to almost any situation.


Data without visualization is dull. This is particularly true for changing data. We seem to be much better at noticing moving things than we are at noticing changes between spreadsheet cells or other text. That’s okay.  Text does not usually threaten to run me over when I attempt to cross a street. So let’s create moving things with D3.js and drive the animation reactively with data from a server written in Scala using the Play Framework.
In the last article I have introduced sse-perf, a load testing tool for Server Sent Event (SSE) streams. With that tool I gather data that I want to present in the browser using animated barcharts:
Creating the animated barchart is a little more involved. Let us start with something really simple today. Luckily I have a problem to solve that calls for a simple animation: sse-perf when running might or might not have have established connections hitting a server. If it does, it becomes immediately obvious that the connection to the sse-perf server is alive because the bars are animated. What if there are no client connections and thus there is nothing to report except zero values? I can have these zeros fly into the chart instead of the bars, but that looks really awful, I’ve tried it. But without anything moving, the connection looks dead. What do I do?
How about a visual heartbeat? Just a simple red dot that gets bigger when a new Server Sent Event is received and then shrinks to normal size again. This succeeds in convincing me that what I am looking at is still alive:
Let’s implement that and drive it by a Server Sent Event stream. First of all, we need a div that will hold our animation which we can style and position by css however we like:
1 2 3 4 |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
|
Let us put all JavaScript in modules conforming to the require.js / AMD pattern. This prevents global namespace pollution, potentially loads faster and makes for a cleaner design. Play handles loading the JavaScript with require.js for us with @helper.requireJs.
The best thing with this approach is probably that Play will now run the closure compiler over our JavaScript code and show problems immediately by failing the build:
Sweet! Here are the excerpts of the JavaScript code that we need for the heartbeat. Full code is available on GitHub as usual.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
|
We draw the dot first. Using the global d3 object, we select our #heartbeat div, append an svg of size 20px by 20px, append a circle at x=10px, y=10px, give it a radius of 3px and fill it red. Thanks to method chaining, the D3 code almost reads like prose.
We then establish an EventSource(“/metricsFeed”) connection to the metrics feed and assign a handler function as an event listener to the “message” event. See the stream for yourself. We can use the handler function to trigger the animation.
Once again, the D3 code reads like a sentence: using the heartbeat object created above, we transition the radius from the initial 3px to 7px, to 3px, to 6px and back to 3px, all of these with a duration of 700ms each.
The stream I use as a trigger has data every 3 seconds. I found that it looks unhealthy if the heartbeat only animates 20 times a second, so I do the expansion / contraction cycle twice on each event. D3.js is great; it has a bit of a learning curve but it is well worth it because it will give you full control over everything you could possibly want to tweak on your page.
This is it for today, check back for more elaborate examples in the future. If you haven’t already, how about you subscribe to the mailing list so you won’t miss anything?

Root breaks partnership as New Zealand reach 224-5 at lunch in first test
England captain Joe Root's decision to introduce slow bowling into the attack paid immediate dividends as New Zealand advanced to 224-5 at lunch on the third day of the first test at Bay Oval on Saturday.
WELLINGTON: England captain Joe Root's decision to introduce slow bowling into the attack paid immediate dividends as New Zealand advanced to 224-5 at lunch on the third day of the first test at Bay Oval on Saturday.
BJ Watling was on 45 and Colin de Grandhomme 14 not out at the break, with New Zealand still 129 runs behind England's first innings of 353.
New Zealand had resumed on Saturday on 144-4 with Henry Nicholls on 26 after he passed concussion tests following a sickening blow on the helmet from a Jofra Archer bouncer just before the close of play on Friday.
Watling began on six and the pair had little trouble dealing with England's pace attack in the first 80 minutes of play.
With the ball skidding on, Root brought in left arm spinner Jack Leach in an effort to slow the scoring and get through the overs quickly so they had the option of taking the second new ball before the break.
The tactic worked immediately with Nicholls given out lbw for 39 on Leach's fifth delivery, only to have the decision overturned on review.
Root then brought himself on at the other end and managed from his flat off-spin to entice an edge from Watling, but Ben Stokes dropped the simple catch at first slip.
He then got a delivery to skid on against Nicholls two balls later and had the left hander trapped in front for 41, ending the 70-run partnership before Watling and de Grandhomme saw the hosts safely through to the break.

Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremonies have become popular for many reasons: to celebrate an anniversary, to include children or parents in the ceremony, to celebrate with a larger circle of family and friends if the original ceremony was an elopement or destination wedding, to replace memories of a disappointing wedding day, to reaffirm your commitment when facing deployment or an extended time apart, or to celebrate making it through a difficult time of illness, relationship challenge or financial crisis. Any time is a good time for a Wedding Vow Renewal Ceremony!
Calgary and the surrounding area have an abundance of indoor ceremony venues and outdoor areas with breathtaking scenery in every season! I would love to work with you to create a personal and meaningful ceremony! Let’s Talk!


Landmark regions broadly signpost the areas of a page (e.g. navigation, search, main content and so on). This extension allows you to navigate a web page via its landmarks, if they've been provided by its author, using the keyboard or a pop-up menu.
Permissions:
The extension needs to run automatically on all pages, to find any landmark regions and put a badge on the toolbar button, or update the sidebar. This is why it requires permission to access all pages. The extension does not collect any data.
Support:
As this is developed in my own time, I am not able to guarantee timely support, though will be doing what I can to help. I'll be concentrating on fixing bugs, and adding features where this makes sense.
Acknowledgements:
This is a fork of the original landmarks extension written by David Todd at IBM. Thanks to Steve Faulkner for encouraging me to work on this, for feature suggestions, help with the relevant specifications and initial test cases (and again to David Todd for supporting my contributions). Thanks also to The Paciello Group for donating my development time when this was a Firefox-specific extension and during the conversion to the WebExtensions API.

Why Carmelo Anthony is wearing 00 jersey for the Trail Blazers, and not 7
by Jordan HeckCarmelo Anthony officially joined the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, and he'll be wearing a new jersey number: 00.
Anthony's choice of 00 may have confused those who are familiar with the NBA player's number history. After all, Anthony has branded "#StayMe7o" based on the fact he wore No. 7 throughout most of his career. But even when he didn't wear 7, he's had other numbers.
There are reasons why Anthony wasn't able to wear any of his previous numbers ...
- No. 7: While not technically retired in Portland, it is reportedly being withheld in honor of Brandon Roy.
- No. 15: The number Melo wore in Denver and Syracuse is retired for Larry Steele.
- No. 22: Melo's high school number at Oak Hill is retired for Clyde Drexler.
So this brings up ...
Why is Carmelo Anthony wearing 00?
We'll let him explain it.
Make sense? No? Welcome to the club.
Anthony's post doesn't make a ton of sense, but it's the best answer we have as to why he chose 00. It is a little odd the Trail Blazers will have one player wearing 00 (Anthony) and another just wearing 0 (Damian Lillard), but that's where we're at now.


plannr is an in-development package used for parsing Microsoft Planner data into R via exported Excel spreadsheets for easy usage and creation of beautiful ggplot2 or plotly visuals.
Usage of plannr is fairly simple:
.xlsx
).read_planner()
function.Now you have your Planner data imported into R as a plannr
object!
Using the plot_planner()
function, you can quickly create a donut chart using ggplot
or plotly
to your specifications. plot_planner()
supports filtering by:
tasks
- Tasks (w/o Checklists)checklists
- Tasks (w/ Checklists)priority
- Prioritylate
- Late Tasksassigned_to
- Assigned Tocompleted_by
- Completed ByPlannr Object Summary
plan_xlsx <- read_planner("path/to/planner.xlsx") summary(plan_xlsx) # Return: # =======>> PLANNER <<======= # Plan Name: Example Plan # Export Date: 01/01/1234 # ========>> TASKS <<======== # Total: 32 Tasks # Completed: 4 (12.50%) # In Progress: 5 (15.62%) # Not Started: 23 (71.88%) # ===>> CHECKLIST TASKS <<=== # Total: 57 Tasks # Completed: 0 (0.00%) # Not Started: 57 (100.00%) # ===========================
Basic Plotting
# Print a donut plot taking into account checklists on tasks plan_xlsx <- read_planner("path/to/planner.xlsx") plot_planner(plan_xlsx, by = "checklists")
Getting filtered plot data
# Return a easy-plottable-tibble of the planner data filtered by priority plot_planner(plan_xlsx, by = "priority", data_only = TRUE)
Extending with ggplot
# Easy customizability via `plot_type = "basic"` argument. # Which, returns a ggplot() object of the planner data without # anything additional. # # labs() parameters can be added to the end of the argument list # for plot_planner() calls. plot_planner( plan_xlsx, by = "tasks", plot_type = "basic", title = "Tasks Progress" ) + geom_bar() + theme_bw() + theme( legend.position = "none" )
Interactive plots with plotly
plot_planner( plan_xlsx, by = "checklists", interactive = TRUE )
dplyr
with Planner dataCurrently there’s two supported ways of using dplyr
functions via plannr.
filter_planner()
for dplyr::filter()
.plot_planner(..., data_only = TRUE, ...)
with magrittr
piping.You can view the documentation here: https://plannr.justinsingh.me.

The iRASPA-app is accompanied by a command-line utility that is accesible from the terminal. A common scenario is to screen lots of structures using scripts (e.g. bash, python, perl). The executable is located at:
/Applications/iRASPA.app/Contents/Library/iRASPA-CLI/iRASPA-CLI.app/Contents/MacOS/iRASPA-CLIThe utility can read 'cif' and 'pdb'-files directly and allows fast computation of surface areas and helium void-fractions. Before use, the permissions for accessing files using the utility need to be setup in the preferences panel.
To allow convenient access to the utility create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin/
ln -s /Applications/iRASPA.app/Contents/Library/iRASPA-CLI/iRASPA-CLI.app/Contents/MacOS/iRASPA-CLI /usr/local/bin/iRASPA-CLI.app
Usage: iRASPA-CLI [options] [file ...]
-s, --surfacearea
Computes the surface area.
-v, --voidfraction
Computes the void fraction.
-h, --help
Prints a help message.

Indian Test players begin practice with pink ball in Bengaluru
by PTIHighlights
- India and Bangladesh will play their maiden Day/Night Test at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 22
- It's been some days that the senior India cricketers started practising under NCA head Rahul Dravid
- Sighting the ball in the twilight and handling reverse swing with old ball under lights are the biggest challenges
BENGALURU: Indian Test cricketers, including batting mainstay Cheteshwar Pujara and young gun Mayank Agarwal, have started practising with the pink balls at the M Chinnaswamy stadium here, beginning their preparations for the country's first ever Day/Night Test.
India and Bangladesh will play their maiden Test under the lights at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata from November 22.
While short-format players are locked in Twenty20 series with Bangladesh, Pujara and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane, all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Hanuma Vihari along with pacers Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma hit the National Cricket Academy (NCA) nets to get used to the challenge that pink balls will throw at them.
It's been some days that the senior India cricketers started practising under NCA head and former skipper Rahul Dravid.
The early practice sessions will give Indians a fair idea of what they will encounter in the historic Test and is precisely the reason, all these players did not figure in the Mushtaq Ali Trophy matches for their respective states.
Sighting the ball in the twilight and handling reverse swing with old ball under lights are the biggest challenges.
Skipper Virat Kohli is on a break and is yet to join his Test colleagues.

The three volcanoes [in the planet the little prince lives on] are the volcanoes of El Salvador, the baobabs are the ceibas at the entrance of Armenia, a town in El Salvador.
The coughing rose is Consuelo, who suffers from asthma, which is fragile and therefore protected under a bell jar.
The other five thousand roses can be other women, but for the Little Prince those roses are worthless, the only one that is worth is his rose.
There might be millions of roses in the whole world, but you're my only one.
"This book is presented as a story for children, but it is not at all, it is a book that he wrote to apologize to Consuelo, it is an act of contrition." says Marie-Helene Carbonel.

It's public knowledge that their relationship never had a dull moment, they would constantly fight but were also madly in love. Consuelo even wrote a book about their marriage and titled it "The Tale of the Rose."
