Rangers fans baited with Celtic scarves and banners during Colts' win over Wrexham
The National League side's fans travelled in their numbers for the tie and seemed keen to spark some banter.
by Jonathan McFarlaneThey travelled down in their hundreds for a taste of the big time as Wrexham fans headed to Ibrox determined to create a big game atmosphere for their Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup semi-final with Rangers Colts .
Part of their plan appeared to be siding with their opponents bitter Glasgow rivals Celtic after flags and even a banner featuring the Parkhead club's crest was held up in the away end of Ibrox .
Nearly 1000 punters from the Welsh town made the long journey to Glasgow as they attempted to create a carnival atmosphere in their little corner of the ground.
The game ended in a 2-0 victory for Rangers' Colts after goals from Jamie Barjonas and 16-year-old Nathan Young-Coombes dampened the travelling support's enthusiasm.
It sends the youngsters into the semi-final of the competition, the first time a Colts team has ever reached such a lofty stage of the tournament.
Rangers have already dispatched the likes of Solihul Moors, Stranraer and Ballymena United on their journey to date.

| pivot_wider.tbl_lazy {dbplyr} | R Documentation |
pivot_wider()
"widens" data, increasing the number of columns and
decreasing the number of rows. The inverse transformation is
pivot_longer()
.

.
pivot_wider.tbl_lazy( data, id_cols = NULL, names_from = name, names_prefix = "", names_sep = "_", names_glue = NULL, names_sort = FALSE, names_repair = "check_unique", values_from = value, values_fill = NULL, values_fn = max, ... )
data |
A lazy data frame backed by a database query. |
id_cols |
A set of columns that uniquely identifies each observation. |
names_from, values_from |

Unused; included for compatibility with generic. |
The big difference to pivot_wider()
for local data frames is that
values_fn
must not be NULL
. By default it is max()
which yields
the same results as for local data frames if the combination of id_cols
and value
column uniquely identify an observation.
Mind that you also do not get a warning if an observation is not uniquely
identified.
The translation to SQL code basically works as follows:
Get unique keys in names_from
column.
For each key value generate an expression of the form:
value_fn( CASE WHEN (`names from column` == `key value`) THEN (`value column`) END ) AS `output column`
Group data by id columns.
Summarise the grouped data with the expressions from step 2.
if (require("tidyr", quietly = TRUE)) { memdb_frame( id = 1, key = c("x", "y"), value = 1:2 ) %>% tidyr::pivot_wider( id_cols = id, names_from = key, values_from = value ) }

jl777c20-Dec-19 08:56 AM
it is a precaution, just in case the hardupdate doesnt go smoothly. we are expecting it to go smoothly, but if the exchange wallets are closed, then even if it isnt smooth there wont be a way for people to take advantage of it
height 1,670,000 is in about 900 blocks, as long as we get past it without any issues, then all is happy

For a special presentation the scallops are put back in their shells with a fennel and white wine sauce and sealed in with puff pastry.
For the puff pastry, place the flour in a mound on a clean work surface and make a well in the centre.
Place the butter and salt in the well and work them together with the fingertips of one hand, gradually drawing the flour into the centre with the other hand.
When the cubes of butter have become small pieces and the dough is grainy, gradually add the iced water and mix until it is all incorporated, but don’t overwork the dough – you should have a marbled effect with the butter without mixing it in properly.
Roll the mixture into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Flour the work surface and roll out the pastry into a 40x20cm/16x8in rectangle.
Fold the top third down to the centre, then the bottom third up and over that. Give it a quarter-turn.
Roll the block of pastry into a 40x20cm/16x8in rectangle as before, and fold it into three again. These are the first two turns. Wrap the block in cling film and refrigerate it for 30 minutes.
Give the chilled pastry another two turns, rolling and folding as before. This makes a total of four turns. Wrap the pastry in cling film and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
For the roasted scallops with fennel and herbs, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Remove the scallops from their shells, retaining both halves of each shell.
Rinse the removed scallops and the reserved shells and pat them dry with kitchen paper. Cut each scallop in half horizontally to form two thinner scallops. Set aside.
Heat a frying pan to medium hot, add the butter, vegetables and star anise and fry for a couple of minutes, or until softened but not browned.
Add the wine and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by half. Add the fish stock and cook until reduced by half again.
Add the cream and cook until reduced by one-third.
Add the tomato and herbs, then taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Roll the pastry out to about 3mm thick, then cut into long strips.
Spoon some of the sauce into the bottom half of each of their shells, top with the scallops and the remaining sauce.
Brush the edge of the shells with the beaten egg, then place the top half of each shell on top. Egg wash the outside join of the shells and seal with the pastry strips. Brush the pastry with more egg wash. You now have eight closed scallop shells.
Place eight piles of salt onto a baking tray then place the scallop shells on the piles so that they sit flat. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden-brown and crisp.
Remove and serve on another little pile of salt on plates.

Case studies from the following industries - Healthcare, Government, Financial Services, SMB's - can be accessed on our website, http://komnetworks.com/resources.htmlTestimonial:
KOMpliance offered a great combination of technology, ease of use, and cost which were very important to us Gary Hanold, Director of Information Technology, Angel Medical CenterKOMpliance was fast and painless. We simply copied the data and then changed IP addresses and everything was up and running in minutes. The system ran faster and the images were accessible at a faster rate than the old infrastructure. The exceptional support we received to overcome an issue with the retention settings and compatibility with the Sectra software was quick and first-rate and a deciding factor in our plans for storage of other healthcare applications. Jim Moran, Network Administrator/HIPAA security officer
KOMpliance provides us with functionality that wasnt available before. With its automated policy-based retention, we no longer have to worry about meeting different regulatory requirements for different types of studies or patients. KOMpliance automatically stores and preserves the images for as long as required and then automatically erases the archived image when regulatory compliance is met or retention period is reached, freeing up much needed storage space. Lori Smith, Director of Radiology
Experian deployed KOMpliance at about half the cost of HCAP. It has integrated better into the Windows environment, partly because of the Windows Storage Server software and native integration into Active Directory but also because KOM's IP at the kernel layer in the appliance is optimized for different kinds of I/O. Gary Everekyan, VPInformation Security, Experian
Leveraging KOMpliance in conjunction with our iSCSI SAN, we were able to maintain HIPAA compliance, create a functional DR plan, and also meet our financial goals. The total cost, including 3 year 24x7 support, when combined with the total cost savings using our existing SAN storage, saves us approximately $230,000 over a three year period by switching from EMC Centera to a KOMpliance SAN Gateway solution. Kevin Foster, York Hospital.
We are thrilled with the professional support and cooperation we have received from KOM Networks. KOMpliance has helped us to fulfill our compliance requirements and limit our liability. They provided a simple solution for a complex requirement. Knowing our data is secure and our technology is sustainable allows us to control our future costs and maximize our return on investment. Simon Edwards, NMB Insurance Brokers
Our partnership with KOM Networks will give customers a way to easily meet compliance requirements with fixed content WORM volumes on Enhance iSCSI and FC SAN arrays. It offers customers a faster, less capital intensive route to building a long-term storage solution for managing, securing and protecting archive content." Daniel Tai, CEO, Enhance Technology
We are excited to add KOMpliance integration. This provides our customers with a good option for securing and protecting their data. It requires no application changes and can be implemented immediately into the existing IT environment. Nothing changes for the user or administrator and the policies managed by OnBase are automatic and transparent. Bill Filion, VP of Product Development, Hyland Software.
Combining our industry-leading Enterprise Vault email and content archiving software with KOMpliance creates a highly scalable and cost effective solution for medium size and enterprise customers. Customers will benefit from the seamless integration of these two solutions that deliver complete protection for long term storage and quick eDiscovery of information." Simon Jelley, Sr. Director of Product Management, Symantec Enterprise Vault.
KOMs approach to develop, build and deliver an all purpose archive solution has set the standards for other vendors that have recently followed suit. Deni Connor, Storage Strategies NOW.

Case studies from the following industries - Healthcare, Government, Financial Services, SMB's - can be accessed on our website, http://komnetworks.com/resources.htmlTestimonial:
KOMpliance offered a great combination of technology, ease of use, and cost which were very important to us Gary Hanold, Director of Information Technology, Angel Medical CenterKOMpliance was fast and painless. We simply copied the data and then changed IP addresses and everything was up and running in minutes. The system ran faster and the images were accessible at a faster rate than the old infrastructure. The exceptional support we received to overcome an issue with the retention settings and compatibility with the Sectra software was quick and first-rate and a deciding factor in our plans for storage of other healthcare applications. Jim Moran, Network Administrator/HIPAA security officer
KOMpliance provides us with functionality that wasnt available before. With its automated policy-based retention, we no longer have to worry about meeting different regulatory requirements for different types of studies or patients. KOMpliance automatically stores and preserves the images for as long as required and then automatically erases the archived image when regulatory compliance is met or retention period is reached, freeing up much needed storage space. Lori Smith, Director of Radiology
Experian deployed KOMpliance at about half the cost of HCAP. It has integrated better into the Windows environment, partly because of the Windows Storage Server software and native integration into Active Directory but also because KOM's IP at the kernel layer in the appliance is optimized for different kinds of I/O. Gary Everekyan, VPInformation Security, Experian
Leveraging KOMpliance in conjunction with our iSCSI SAN, we were able to maintain HIPAA compliance, create a functional DR plan, and also meet our financial goals. The total cost, including 3 year 24x7 support, when combined with the total cost savings using our existing SAN storage, saves us approximately $230,000 over a three year period by switching from EMC Centera to a KOMpliance SAN Gateway solution. Kevin Foster, York Hospital.
We are thrilled with the professional support and cooperation we have received from KOM Networks. KOMpliance has helped us to fulfill our compliance requirements and limit our liability. They provided a simple solution for a complex requirement. Knowing our data is secure and our technology is sustainable allows us to control our future costs and maximize our return on investment. Simon Edwards, NMB Insurance Brokers
Our partnership with KOM Networks will give customers a way to easily meet compliance requirements with fixed content WORM volumes on Enhance iSCSI and FC SAN arrays. It offers customers a faster, less capital intensive route to building a long-term storage solution for managing, securing and protecting archive content." Daniel Tai, CEO, Enhance Technology
We are excited to add KOMpliance integration. This provides our customers with a good option for securing and protecting their data. It requires no application changes and can be implemented immediately into the existing IT environment. Nothing changes for the user or administrator and the policies managed by OnBase are automatic and transparent. Bill Filion, VP of Product Development, Hyland Software.
Combining our industry-leading Enterprise Vault email and content archiving software with KOMpliance creates a highly scalable and cost effective solution for medium size and enterprise customers. Customers will benefit from the seamless integration of these two solutions that deliver complete protection for long term storage and quick eDiscovery of information." Simon Jelley, Sr. Director of Product Management, Symantec Enterprise Vault.
KOMs approach to develop, build and deliver an all purpose archive solution has set the standards for other vendors that have recently followed suit. Deni Connor, Storage Strategies NOW.


Two years ago Sony Pictures signed Alicia Silverstone to a two-picture deal reportedly worth $10 million. If you haven't heard much about that coup lately, it's because ``Excess Baggage'' - their seemingly jinxed first collaboration - has gone through numerous re-shoots and been shuttled in and out of editing rooms for well over a year now.
All in vain, unfortunately: ``Excess Baggage'' still amounts to a series of flaccid, go-nowhere scenes featuring a sullen Silverstone and the inarticulate Benicio Del Toro (the least memorable of ``The Usual Suspects''), an actor almost as alluring as a bowl of rotting fruit. Though Christopher Walken and Harry Connick Jr. turn up occasionally along the way, they fail to relieve the general dreariness.
 Del Toro's Vincent is a master car thief who inadvertently takes Emily for a ride, then can't shake her.
Executive producer Silverstone may have seen this film as a chance to segue from ``Clueless'' to ``Breathless,'' but what could have been a rowdy romantic caper turns out to be a lethargic slog across Washington State with two abrasive bores. As Emily and Vincent vacantly snipe at each other, ``Excess'' has the feel of a misconceived improvisation-comedy sketch that goes on interminably without ever coming close to being funny.
Del Toro's slurred speech and blurry eyes make him seem more like Cheech and Chong's lost cousin than a hunky bad boy. And ``Excess'' is irrefutable evidence Silverstone needs a strong director to bring out her effervescence, since it's nowhere to be found here.
The movie's patchwork production is betrayed by the obvious fluctuations in Silverstone's figure from scene to scene. ``Do you like my tummy?'' Emily asks Vincent at one point, and you half-expect him to answer, ``Which one?''.

In backtests, the Train
method is synchronous, so it blocks your algorithm execution while the model trains. In live trading, the Train
method is asynchronous, so ensure your model is trained before you continue the algorithm execution. Training occurs on a separate thread, so set a boolean flag to notify your algorithm of the model state. A semaphore is a thread-safe flag you can use to synchronize program operations across different threads.

The "Kids" Are Alright
To tell you the truth, "Spy Kids" was not what I had originally intended to review. I actually bought a ticket to see a more sophisticated spy thriller called "The Tailor of Panama." There were still about 15 minutes before that film was to begin, so I decided to sneak into an adjacent theatre to kill some time. I didn't expect to stay too long because the idea of watching a pre-teen brother and sister team lurch their way through a mission to save the world seemed like an agonizing idea. Surprisingly, the first 15 minutes established a fair amount of pace and showed the promise of entertainment and imagination. And before I knew it, I had actually stayed and watched the whole movie. Thinking back, I'm glad that I did.
It certainly wasn't the acting that fueled this story. Since the target audience consists primarily of pre-teens, this film feels more like a revved up bedtime story with cartoonish characters rather than a polished thriller. After all, the heroes are a 12-year-old girl named Carmen (Alexa Vega) and her younger brother Juni (Daryl Sabara). Both possess a spunky likableness without the saccharine demeanor of that kid from the "Home Alone" films.
Meanwhile, the villain, Fegan Floop (Alan Cummings), is a popular children's television show host. He resides in a magnificent palace whose interior seems to be lifted from the blueprints of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory. There, he carries out his diabolical plan and controls his army of clumsy minions who are literally all thumbs. But no matter what you think of pre-teen spies and fanciful villains, you'll find this overall movie watching experience enjoyable.
Gregorio (Antonio Banderas) and Ingrid (Carla Gugino) Cortez are former super-secret agents. Now wed, they have retired to raise their children, Carmen and Juni. They have never told their children about their past, hoping to put that life behind them. But they are called back into action when fellow operatives start disappearing and Fegan Floop and his minions are…uh…fingered. But years of inactivity result in their quick capture. With their parents now prisoners, it's up to Carmen and Juni to save them and the world.
For much of the movie, its pretty straightforward as the kids use is a bevy of wildly inventive gizmos to make their way towards Floop's stronghold while dodging his various henchman. Yet the film is unexpectedly flashy in its use of quick edits, giving this James Bond-for-kids film grown-up hipness. There are many amusing moments as well, such as the inevitable bickering between the siblings and the general state of ineptness of Floop's minions. It also exhibited a continued spirit of imagination, featuring special effects that made this film seem more expensive than its reported price tag of $35 million.
"Spy Kids" is a fine family film. It not only provides 90 minutes of entertainment, but it also effectively forwards the notion of family, teamwork, brotherhood, and the importance of children. Like Gregorio and Ingrid who worked hard to successfully balance their family life with their lives as agents, the film also works hard to find the right balance between an easy-to-digest film for kids and an entertaining film for adults. This mission is adequately accomplished. "Spy Kids" nicely combines fantasy and fluff with several laughs and several valuable lessons.

DataObject Class
DataObject are used to synchronize states between the connected clients. Every DataObject consists of key/value pairs, where keys must be unique integers (per DataObject).
Every User has his own DataObject. Additional DataObjects could be created by a client or by the server.
DataObjects could be used to represent objects like e.g. bots, windows, laser shots, grenades, barrels, text blocks, cars etc.

"Dynamic Lookup Field" means one field's value comes from multiple lookup datasets. In the following example:
The value of field "Most Powerful Animala" comes from dataset "felidas", "canine" and "bear",
the particular value stored in this field is according to the field "Animal Type".
