It's not intended for complex languages. It's intended to easily write a simple parser for a simple language.
Pass a description of statemachine to the constructor. The description must be in this form:
new Parser(description)
description is {
// The key is the name of the state
// The value is an object containing possible transitions
"state-name": {
// The key is a regular expression
// If the regular expression matches the transition is executed
// The value can be "true", a other state name or a function
"a": true,
// true will make the parser stay in the current state
"b": "other-state-name",
// a string will make the parser transit to a new state
"[cde]": function(match, index, matchLength) {
// "match" will be the matched string
// "index" will be the position in the complete string
// "matchLength" will be "match.length"
// "this" will be the "context" passed to the "parse" method"
// A new state name (string) can be returned
return "other-state-name";
},
"([0-9]+)(\\.[0-9]+)?": function(match, first, second, index, matchLength) {
// groups can be used in the regular expression
// they will match to arguments "first", "second"
},
// the parser stops when it cannot match the string anymore
// order of keys is the order in which regular expressions are matched
// if the javascript runtime preserves the order of keys in an object
// (this is not standardized, but it's a de-facto standard)
}
}
The statemachine is compiled down to a single regular expression per state. So basically the parsing work is delegated to the (native) regular expression logic of the javascript runtime.
Parser.prototype.parse(initialState: String, parsedString: String, context: Object)
initialState
: state where the parser starts to parse.
parsedString
: the string which should be parsed.
context
: an object which can be used to save state and results. Available as this
in transition functions.
returns context
var Parser = require("fastparse");
// A simple parser that extracts @licence ... from comments in a JS file
var parser = new Parser({
// The "source" state

// this would be necessary for a complex language like JS
// but omitted here for simplicity

I had a physical therapy internship for one year at Manor Care in Boulder, Colorado. I then attended the University of Colorado Medical School and earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree in 2012. I achieved my Board Certification in Orthopedics in 2016.

I have been an active volunteer for the Joe Biden Campaign as well as for the Democratic Party since 2015. This includes phone banking and canvassing. I have donated money to the Joe Biden Campaign, Warren for President, ActBlue (Get Mitch or Die Trying, Gary Peters for Senate), and Planned Parenthood.
I belong to the United Federation of Commercial Workers (UFCW) union and the American Physical Therapy Association
I have participated in multiple marches including the Women's March. I am a strong advocate for access to affordable healthcare for all and participate in this through my union and our committees. I advocate strongly for affordable access to all medical services regardless of race, gender, religious beliefs and citizenship and have attended protests and meeting with my union on how to promote this and influence policy changes that emphasize this. I was involved with the promoting proposition 118 in Colorado for Paid Family Leave.
I strongly believe that we need representation from the citizens who work on the front lines in Colorado. They are the backbone of this state and I want to make sure they have equal representation in all parts of the state. I also believe that we as Coloradans have more in common than we think and I want to promote more agreement rather than discourse among citizens. If each citizen feels they have a chance to be represented in each district then I feel that there will be less division regardless of how various elections go. The division in Colorado and the country is a major concern and if we don't put an end to it at a local level we will be headed down a very dark and dangerous path as a country.
I will promote consensus and agreement by using data. We have data that shows the spread of voters in regions across the state. We should be able to make it so that an even split among Democrats, Republicans and Independents exists in each district so that citizens are really voting for the person and not the party. I think this should be the goal of all commissioners and if it isn't they should not be on this committee. Listening to each individual will also be important and asking questions to understand why they feel a certain way. I have had the ability to impartial and fair throughout multiple negotiations with the company and the union that I am part of. I am known for showing and using data to display my opinions rather than my emotions. Before Donald Trump was president I was an independent voter in Colorado. I understand conservative view points and agree with some of them. I am not simply ingrained in one party.
Throughout my graduate school training and my current position I have participated in research that has lead to a broad understanding of health care statistics and analysis. I am familiar with SPSS and Excel. I am able to understand complex scientific literature and perform an analysis to determine if the research was done correctly and if the conclusions can be used in a clinical setting. I have applied this knowledge to political analysis as well when I have donated money.

Core2 for AWS IoT EduKit BSP 1.5.1
|
The Microphone library provides convenience functions to initialize and de-initialize the SPM1423 microphone over I2S with preset parameters. The I2S bus requires that the initialization and use of the peripheral on the bus is assigned to a dedicated core. The reason for this is that I2S and I2C attaches an interrupt to one of 32 interrupt vectors available per core. Attempting to initialize or access the peripheral without affinity to a specific core will most likely cause a hard fault almost immediately or at some point in time. The microphone cannot be accessed at the same time as the speaker since they both share a common pin (GPIO0).
To enable this hardware feature using KConfig, use the command pio run --environment core2foraws --target menuconfig
from within the root of the project directory in your PlatformIO terminal window and go to the menu Component Config --> Core2 for AWS features
to set the features you want to enable.
TThe following example creates a FreeRTOS task that's pinned to Core 1, which intializes the SPM1423 microphone, and then reads 1Kb of sound with the microphone using the ESP-IDF i2s_read function, deinitializes the microphone, uses a loop to print each value of the buffer, and prints the number of bytes read using the ESP logger.

Return to Paradise
By: Khaled Abou El Fadl, Visiting Professor at the
UCLA School of Law (October 1998)
[Editors note: The following commentary
reveals some plot details. Readers who have not seen the film may want to bookmark this
site and return to read this commentary after they have seen the film.]
I agree with Michael Asimow and Stan Ross that Return to
Paradise is an excellent film. It is beautifully made and it does raise critical
ethical issues concerning justice and the limits of professional responsibility. But even
so, the film raises serious moral questions about how we, as a society, see and construct
the foreign "other." In this regard, at many levels, the film is offensive not
only to Malaysians, but also to Muslims in general. It is precisely because the film is so
powerful, that its effect is particularly offensive.
Throughout the film, as the camera looks over the urban Malaysian
landscape, one hears the Muslim call to prayer. A connection is immediately formed between
the unfolding plot in Malaysia and the Muslim factor. The photography associated with the
distant call to prayer emphasizes the alien and inaccessible nature of Muslim culture.
Malaysian and Muslim culture are rendered foreign, distant and exotic.
Next, the film exploits the all-too-familiar stereotypical
construct of "qadi justice" as impulsive, emotional and unrestrained by
principle or precedent. After the repentant and humbled main character, Sheriff, shows up
at the clemency hearing, the Malaysian Chief Justice declares that this principled and
ethical young man has restored the Justices faith in humanity. At that point, the
Chief Justice calls for a recess after which, pursuant to the plea agreement, he would
commute Lewis death sentence. But during the recess, the Chief Justice happens to
read an article which appears in an American newspaper. The movie makes it clear that the
article is critical of Malaysian justice. Returning from the recess, the Chief Justice is
unable to restrain his anger, and after a lengthy tirade against America, he reneges on
the plea bargain agreement and sentences the extremely sympathetic character of Lewis to
death.
Unfortunately, this is entirely consistent with the stereotypical
image of "qadi justice" or the Muslim judge who acts largely on emotion, and who
suffers sharp mood swings based on the particular emotional stimulants of the moment.
Importantly, it also affirms the image of a judge who puts politics before principle and
who, like the politics he represents, is volatile and unpredictable. Sheriff, who happens
to be American and not a Muslim, restores our faith in humanity by doing the right thing.
The Chief Justice, on the other hand, has a highly political and even tribal understanding
of ethics and justice. Ultimately, Lewis will die not because of his own sins but because
of the sins of his tribe ( i.e. the American people or their culture).
Right before Lewis is dragged away to be hung in an extremely
painful and heart-wrenching scene, the film shows the Malaysian prison guards performing
Muslim prayer. There are two points here. First, as is the case with the vast majority of
Hollywood movies, the Muslim prayer performed on-screen has little resemblance to actual
Muslim prayer. This is not a minor point. One would think that considering the number of
movies that show Muslims praying, that someone would eventually get it right. Rather,
Muslims are shown prostrating up and down repeatedly emphasizing the alien and exotic
nature of Muslim culture.
Second, Malaysia is only about 50% to 55% Muslim. There is no
reason for the film to assume that the prison guards who would carry out the inhumane
execution would necessarily be Muslim. Furthermore, secular Muslim countries avoid hiring
prison guards who are religious or who are practicing Muslims. For pragmatic reasons,
governments in Muslim countries are always concerned that a religious prison guard would
sympathize with imprisoned Islamists or Muslim fundamentalists. From conversations with
Malaysians, my understanding is that the same holds true for Malaysia. In any case, by
showing the guards in prayer immediately before the execution, a strong and emotional
association is created in the mind of the viewer between the cruelty and injustice of the
impending event and Muslim practices and religiousity. Furthermore, having created this
emotional nexus between the symbols of Islamic culture and brutality, all the inhumane
sufferings of Lewis become symptomatic of the nature of Islamic justice. As such, the
film, largely by inference, reinforces the stereotype that Islamic justice is
unpredictable, brutal and unforgiving.
In summary, I agree that as a work of popular culture this film
raises intelligent and engaging questions about law and justice. But as we applaud such
efforts, it is important that we do not applaud the tendency of some works of popular
culture to reduce the foreign "other" into a prejudiced and ethnocentric
stereotype.

'Lewandowski Playing On Messi & Ronaldo's Level'
by SL InternationalBayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski is playing on the same level as superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, according to a Bundesliga star.
Read: Bundesliga Star Receives Massive Ban For Shoving Manager, Starting Brawl
The Polish forward has been in superb form this season after netting 23 goals in 18 appearances across all competitions for the Bundesliga champions.
RB Leipzig Timo Werner has enjoyed a good start to his campaign with 11 league goals in the 2019/2020 season, but he claims Lewandowski is at another level right now.
"It's hard [to be top-scorer]," Werner told reporters, as per AS.
"When you score two goals against Hertha Berlin and then watch the game evening game, having scored four or three goals less than Robert Lewandowski this season, and he scores twice against Borussia Dortmund... Against whom is he not going to score? That's very hard.
"How he is playing at the moment, maybe only one or two players on the planet are on this level. That's the category of Messi and Ronaldo."

While Lewandowski leads Europe's top five league's Golden Boot with 16 goals, Messi and Ronaldo has bagged 13 league goals combined this season.

Tokyo finishes building stadium for 2020
TOKYO: Construction work has been completed at Tokyo's National Stadium, set to be the centrepiece of next year's Olympic Games, the site's owners said on Tuesday (Nov 19).
The Japan Sports Council said the final work had been completed on Thursday with just the final quality and safety checks remaining before the stadium opens next month.
It will be officially unveiled on Dec 21, with the Emperor's Cup soccer final being the first sporting event to be held there on New Year's Day.
Completed at a cost of more than US$1.25 billion, the stadium, which can accommodate 60,000, will also host the athletics and soccer events during the Games.
Construction started in December 2016, about 14 months later than planned, after the original design was scrapped because of a public outcry over spiralling costs.
The delay meant the stadium could not host matches of the Rugby World Cup, as originally planned.
The National Stadium is one of eight new venues to be used at the Tokyo Games, all of them are either complete or on schedule to be finished before the event.
The Tokyo Olympics run from Jul 24 to Aug 9.

How it Works
To translate any word to "Whale-ese" simply remove all the consonants. ONce you are left with only vowels, double any letter e's and u's. That's it.
This app started as a simple javascript project for one of Codecademy's JavaScript projects. I've simply built on that idea and created this app using plain JavaScript, basic HTML and CSS.
The app listens for two events, click and keydown. The keydown event specifically listens for the "enter" key to be pressed. If either event occurs, the program checks the text input for a value and returns a result based on three conditions: Empty: asks for a word, No Vowels: returns no vowel message, and Proper Value: proceeds with the program. If the proper value is in the text input the app iterates through each letter and compares it with an array of vowels. If a letter matches a letter from the vowels array it will be stored in a new array. Should the letter that matches be an 'e' or an 'u' that letter is stored again creating a double. Once it is completed the results are added to the translator__results div using the innerHTML method and the text input is cleared and ready for another round.


Every Alfa Romeo TZ Has A Story
by Bradley Brownell and JalopnikA little more than 100 Alfa Romeo Tubolare Zagatos were built, many of them were raced, and every single one of them has a story.
This one might have a more interesting story than most, however, as it earned an SCCA regional championship with driver Nadine Brengle before it was wrecked and rebuilt. It was recently returned to its former factory-appearing glory with a five-year restoration, and now it’s back for more vintage good times.
Any car that was once known as “the duct tape special” is going to be considered a win in my book. Following the crash, Brengle and her husband rebuilt the rear section with a chicken wire structure under glass fibre. And continued racing it! If that’s not badass, I’m not sure I know what is.
Every time I see a TZ I feel a little well of joy spring up deep inside me. It fills me with a childlike wonder that such a thing even exists, let alone can still be wrung out at vintage race events around the world. There are a couple of these that show up to the Monterey Motorsport Reunion every year, and that is one of the things that keeps me coming back.
There is an old cliche that you’ll hear a lot if you spend time in vintage car circles; “I don’t own the car, I’m just it’s temporary caretaker.” It’s particularly common among vintage European sports car owners. There is a tinge of that sentiment in this fresh video from Petrolicious, but the car is so pretty that I can let the automotive martyrdom pass with just one further comment.
Nothing is precious. Hoon it. Break it. Rebuild it. Keep hooning.

UK weather forecast: Cold warning as temperatures to plunge below freezing again
Public Health England have urged people to look out for the elderly as freezing temperatures are expected again tonight, possibly as low as -3C in parts of Scotland
by Danya Bazaraa, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/danya-bazaraa/Health chiefs are urging people to look after those at risk amid the freezing cold weather with temperatures set to plunge again.
The Met Office said the low temperatures will continue until Wednesday, after -9.9C was recorded in Braemar, north-east Scotland, last night.
Below freezing temperatures are expected again tonight, as cold as -3C in parts of Scotland.
With warnings that more cold weather is on the way - particularly for the north east, north west and Yorkshire and Humber - Public Health England has a cold weather alert in place until tomorrow.
This comes as the government issues 24 flood warnings and 63 flood alerts around the country.
Dr Emer OConnell, Consultant in Public Health at Public Health England, said: "Older people and those with heart and lung problems are at risk of getting sick in cold weather.
"Keep an eye out for those who may need help staying warm, ensure they wear lots of thin layers and have everything they need.
"Below 18 degrees, changes to the body mean that the risk of strokes, heart attacks and chest infections increase so heating homes to this temperature is particularly important to stay well."
Areas which have been issued with a flood warning include Barrow upon Humber, the River Severn at South Worcester and the River Severn at Ashleworth.
Flood alerts have been given for a number of areas including the Welney Causeway in Norfolk, the River Trent in Derbyshire and the River Thames for the Abingdon area.
Tonight there will be cloud and patchy rain for western parts of England, Wales and Scotland.
Central and eastern areas will be mostly dry with clear spells. Clear skies will develop in Northern Ireland.
Tomorrow there will be cloud and outbreaks of light rain at times in Northern Ireland, Wales and western parts of England and Scotland. It will be mostly dry with sunny spells for much of England, Scotland and eastern parts of Wales, especially in the afternoon.
On Thursday bands of cloud and showers will spread northwards across the country. There will be bright spells too, mainly in the south during the afternoon.
Friday will be cloudy with rain at times in the south and west. Northern and eastern areas should be dry with sunny spells during a breezy day.
Showers are believed to sweep in from the west at the end of the wintry week.
The coldest spots will again be in Scotland, most notably on Thursday.
Met Office 5-day forecast
This Evening and Tonight:
Windy in the west with rain edging slowly eastwards. Clearer across Northern Ireland for a time with some frost and fog. Central and eastern areas mostly dry with some frost in places, though less widespread than last night.
Wednesday:
Western areas often cloudy with occasional rain. Mostly dry and bright elsewhere. Feeling cold in brisk southeasterly winds, with coastal gales in the west.
Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:
Northern and eastern areas should be dry on Thursday. Bands of rain, already in the southwest, will move slowly and erratically northeast to much of the UK through the period.

It's Your Thing
The Isley Brothers
it's your thing, do what you want to do
it's your thing, do what you want to do
it's your thing, do what you want to do


From Alexander M'Donald, tenant, and others, Barra. July 1859.
THERE was a herd's wife in the island of Sanntraigh, and she had a kettle. A woman of peace (fairy) would come every day to seek the kettle. She would not say a word when she came, but she would catch hold of the kettle. When she would catch the kettle, the woman of the house would say--
A smith is able to make
Cold iron hot with coal.
The due of a kettle is bones,
And to bring it back again whole.
[paragraph continues] The woman of peace would come back every day with the kettle and flesh and bones in it. On a day that was there, the housewife was for going over the ferry to Baile a Chaisteil, and she said to her man, "If thou wilt say to the woman of peace as I say, I will go to Baile Castle." "Oo! I will say it. Surely it's I that will say it." He was spinning a heather rope to be set on the house. He saw a woman coming and a shadow from her feet, and he took fear of her.  He stopped his work. When she came to the door she did not find the door open, and he did not open it for her. She went above a hole that was in the house. The kettle gave two jumps,
and at the third leap it went out at the ridge of the house. The night came, and the kettle came not. The wife came back over the ferry, and she did not see a bit of the kettle within, and she asked, "Where was the kettle?" "Well then I don't care where it is," said the man; "I never took such a fright as I took at it. I shut the door, and she did not come any more with it." "Good-for-nothing wretch, what didst thou do? There are two that will be ill off--thyself and I." "She will come to-morrow with it." "She will not come."
She hasted herself and she went away. She reached the knoll, and there was no man within. It was after dinner, and they were out in the mouth of the night. She went in. She saw the kettle, and she lifted it with her. It was heavy for her with the remnants that they left in it. When the old carle that was within saw her going out, he said,
Silent wife, silent wife,
That came on us from the land of chase,
Thou man on the surface of the "Bruth,"
Loose the black, and slip the Fierce.
[paragraph continues] The two dogs were let loose; and she was not long away when she heard the clatter of the dogs coming. She kept the remnant that was in the kettle, so that if she could get it with her, well, and if the dogs should come that she might throw it at them. She perceived the dogs coming. She put her hand in the kettle. She took the board out of it, and she threw at them a quarter of what was in it. They noticed it there for a while. She perceived them again, and she threw another piece at them when they closed upon her. She went away walking as well as she might; when she came near the farm, she threw the mouth of the pot
downwards, and there she left them all that was in it. The dogs of the town struck (up) a barking when they saw the dogs of peace stopping. The woman of peace never came more to seek the kettle.

Text by Laura Ragazzola. The South Tyrolean practice leverages the incredible nature at the heart of Tirol, Austria, to design a contemporary and ‘stirring’ building. The glass and cement are in constant dialogue with the environment’s morphology, culture, and history. In October 2018, the Mohr Life Resort’s new wellness area was inaugurated in Lermoos, one of the oldest skiing areas in Tirol just an 80-km drive from Innsbruck. The hotel itself is steeped in history, a household name for anyone visiting the skiing carousel in the northern Alps in Tirol.
The new glass and cement structure was built organically on a gentle slope located below the hotel. It features a unique view across the spacious Ehrwalder Becken valley peppered with old farmhouses and barns; what’s more, the imposing 3,000 metres of the Zugspitze mountain – which represents a geographical border between Austria and Germany – overlooks the entire valley.
The new wellness area at the Mohr Life Resort stretches out across 600 sqm and features a roofed infrastructure built from scratch and an outdoor area with a swimming pool. The latter also connects the two buildings via a central extension into the spa. The glass and cement structure extends horizontally to create an artificial rib, mirrored by the dry stone walls running along its side. The project was specifically designed considering the gently sloping terrain and develops across two levels: this creates a height difference, which allowed for the creation of the swimming pool. A sober and light building in the landscape obtained by the aggregation of simple shapes: glass cubes placed across the two levels create the structural grid for the edifice’s skeleton.
Moreover, using a reflective glass surface delivers an unexpected, scenic effect: the different shapes virtually fade into the background and meld into a ‘screen’ mirroring the gargantuan silhouette of the Zugspitze. And there’s more. The pool runs flush along the length of the Spa’s glass front, thus doubling the image of the mountain thanks to impactful chromatic mirror effects.
While the outer structure is all lines and stark shapes, its traits become softer, more organic, enveloping the viewer into its embrace once inside the building. The tension created by the contrast between indoor and outdoor language enriches the building both aesthetically and formally. The relaxation areas were developed to look like theatre stages with a view across the mountain.
Every ‘booth’ includes two deckchairs featuring different designs: open, spacious areas with huge swings hanging from the ceiling enshrouded by drapery or metal cones framing the mountain alternate with closed balconies delivering increased privacy and relaxation with an omnipresent mountain view.
The ground floor also features a private lounge; a lobby and bar for refreshments; a Spa and scenic sauna for approximately 20 people featuring a mini bistro reminiscent of cinema halls, as well as changing booths and showers. Last but not least, a scenic spiral staircase pinpoints the centre of the building and takes revelers to the first floor... where 10 symmetrical chill-outs ‘stages’ await them (5 per side).
The swimming pool represents the natural extension of the wellness area. It extends into the open and features chill-out areas boasting different sensorial experiences. Six ‘island boxes’ dot the water basin, reflecting the structure overlooking the pool: however, the group of shapes virtually dissolves and opens up the view across the landscape as much as possible. Both the indoor and outdoor elements of the pool feature ‘islands’ offering guests original and essential experiences.

MYSTERY MEN ** out of **** ==============
DIRECTED BY: Kinka Usher STARRING: Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, Greg Kinnear, William H. Macy, Paul Reubens, Geoffrey Rush, Ben Stiller WRITTEN BY: Neil Cuthbert RATED: PG-13 for comic action violence and crude humor SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: 2 Corinthians 2:11, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, 1 Corinthians 12:18-27
For every super hero there are a hundred wannabees. In the super hero business, wannabees are those good hearted men and women with something less than superpowers who nonetheless have a burning desire to fight crime and avenge the righteous. MYSTERY MEN is a film about them.
Champion City already has its resident protector. But Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear, AS GOOD AS IT GETS), his uniform tattooed with product endorsements, has done his job so well, there simply aren't any super villains left to vanquish. Enter Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush, ELIZABETH) who easily tricks the captain and holds him captive while he makes plans to destroy the city.
With Captain Amazing incapacitated, the only ones standing in Frankenstein's way are our would-be heroes: Six kooks in funny looking costumes. They are: The Shoveler (William H. Macy, A CIVIL ACTION), expert with a spade, not so good explaining his pastime activities to his wife; Mr. Furious (Jerry Stiller, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY) whose only talent seems to be in getting mad; The Blue Raja (Hank Azaria, GODZILLA) who flings his mother's flatware (forks and spoons only) with pinpoint accuracy; The Bowler (Janeane Garofalo, PERMANENT MIDNIGHT) who converses with her father's skull encased in her bowling ball; The Spleen (Paul Reubens, PEEWEE'S BIG ADVENTURE) whose flatulence is so noxious it literally knocks out his opponents; and The Invisible Boy (Kel Mitchell, GOOD BURGER) who can only turn invisible if no one looks at him.
Together, these dimwitted defenders of truth and justice, under the guidance of The Sphinx (Wes Studi, DEEP RISING) who talks in a fortune cookie language, ("He who questions training only trains himself to ask questions"), must rise to the challenge of saving their city and their city's hero from certain doom.
MYSTERY MEN is based on the DARK HORSE comic books by Bob Burden. With such an unquestionably talented cast as has been assembled, it is disappointing to say that this is not a better film. The problem lies primarily with director Kinka Usher who is making his feature film debut. Mr. Usher is perhaps best known for his award winning talking Chihuahua Taco Bell commercials. No doubt he has learned that capturing an audience's attention for 30 seconds is a lot easier than doing the same over a 90 minute span.
The script is weak, the humor rather puerile, and the actors, excepting the work of Mr. Kinnear and Mr. Macy, seem lost in a sea of good ideas gone bad. Mr. Kinnear is amusingly smug as the corporate sponsored Captain Amazing. Mr. Macy, as the crewcut wearing, shovel-wielding epitome of a working man, wears his idealistic values on his sleeve. His consistency, as a character, is part of the glue that keeps this movie from falling completely apart.
A film of this scope needed a much firmer hand and clearer vision than Mr. Usher provided. The concept is one that is actually quite appealing... Working class men and women who have unusual yet obviously developed skills, acting out the role of "super-hero" to benefit a society that barely is aware of their existence. Their success comes only from their working in unison. They must combine their various talents in order to have any possibility to defeat their common foe.
Followers of Christ must work in the same manner. By combining our individual talents, knowledge and abilities, we lend support and strength to each other's weaknesses. Together, with God, we have the prevailing strength necessary to stand against our spiritual enemy.  2 Corinthians 2:11 [KJV]
It is folly to enter into the spiritual competition alone. As the Sphinx might say: "He who fails to stand with team, will stand to fail alone."

Abstract:
SQL Server 2017 has finally arrived, bringing with it a host of exciting new features. Of particular interest to BI practitioners and data scientists is the integration of the Python programming language into the SQL ecosystem. This integration opens up a number of possibilities for in-database analytics and intelligent database applications, so let's get started! In this introductory session we'll briefly introduce the Python language and then look at how to install and administer Machine Learning Services. We'll start to demonstrate the power of Python by showing you how to create and run simple scripts from within T-SQL. We'll then discuss some of the powerful open source packages that are available to aid your data analyses. Finally, we'll go through some examples of how to use Python to integrate data analytical methods in real-world situations, and wow your customers with the power of analytics!
Speaker(s): Chris Hyde,
Abstract:
There is no organization that is immune from performance issues with their SQL Server queries. Sometimes all it takes is one "perfect storm" that kills your server performance and lands you in the hot seat with everyone asking you what happened. While many performance issues can be addressed with an index or configuration change, what about when the root of the problem is the code itself? Whether it's a stored procedure or dynamic T-SQL generated by an ORM, the burden of proof lies with the DBA to demonstrate how the code is negatively impacting performance. How do you capture those bad queries? When you have this data what do you look at besides the query itself? How do you make the case to the business that a code change is necessary? In this session we will explore capturing and identifying those problem queries, the analysis of the performance data, and how to effectively communicate your findings to the business to get your proposed code change approved and implemented.
Speaker(s): Amy Herold,
Abstract:
Data should be easy to work with in SQL Server if the database has been organized as close as possible to the standards of normalization that have been proven for many years, but are often thought of as old-fashioned. Many common T-SQL programming "difficulties" are the result of struggling against these standards and can be avoided by understanding the requirements, applying normalization, as well as a healthy dose of simple common sense. In this session I will give an overview of how to design a relational database, allowing you to work with the data structures instead of against them. This will let you use SQL naturally, enabling the query engine internals to optimize your output needs without you needing to spend a lot of time thinking about it. This will mean less time trying to figure out why SUBSTRING(column,3,1) = 'A' is killing your performance, and more time for solving the next customer problem.
Speaker(s): Louis Davidson,

Now that you have Power BI in your organization the fun has just started! Making sure users get the best experience requires some thought and planning though. Come learn the fundamentals of the Power BI architecture and hear about best practices with assigning licenses, delegating roles, audit log analysis, gateway management and overall Power BI administration based on real-world experiences.

Abstract:
PowerShell can be an invaluable tool for DBAs, greatly reducing time spent on repetitive tasks. In this session we will provide an introduction to PowerShell and perform some common administrative functions using the SqlServer PowerShell module built into SSMS 2016.
Speaker(s): Pete Brown,
Abstract:
By now you've heard that SQL Server is available on various flavors of Linux and Docker. Join me in this session to go through the basics of these technologies. I want to show you how to setup, install, configure, and have a database to insert some data into and query. Then I want to go through your tool management options. All in all I hope to leave you with the ability to take this to your shop to see where it might make sense to use in the future.
Speaker(s): Paul Popovich Jr,
Abstract:
Have you ever wondered how SQL Server stores your data? With so many ways that it can be done, we couldn't possibly cover everything in this session, but we'll discuss the fundamental building blocks that SQL uses to organize data into usable units. We'll also see how we can peek under the covers to actually view some of the strutures involved. Why? Because understanding how the pieces fit together will help you to design better, more efficient databases and tables, as well as providing knowledge of a critical component of how the SQL optimizer comes up with query plans.
Speaker(s): Brian Hansen,
Abstract:
ORMs - oh how I LOVE them! As a consultant, when I see them in play at a client I go KACHIIINNNNGGGG!! :-D Seriously though, they can provide some substantial benefits for coding throughput. But if you don't Read The Fine Manual and do some things right and avoid some major gotchas you will fall prey to one of my favorite Guruisms: "Anything that allows developers to slap code together more quickly is inversely proportional to the performance, concurrency and scalability you will get from that code"! Although this talk is based on Entity Framework, most ORMs suffer from the same flaws.
Speaker(s): Kevin Boles,
Abstract:
Microsoft Power BI, Flow, and PowerApps are powerful cloud tools that can take your on-premises data to new heights. Using your data where it is now gives you the ability to invest in improving processes, instead of focusing on a data migration strategy. In this session, we will discover the benefits of using the cloud tools, how those benefits translate to being on-prem, and how we can use the data in Office 365 as well. We will setup a data gateway, connect to on-prem data sources, and use that data in Office 365 and SharePoint Server 2016.

Azure Databricks is a cloud-based Analytics Platform built on Apache Spark with built-in integration to Azure: SQL Data Warehouse, Cosmos DB, Data Lake Store, Event Hubs, and Data Factory. In this session; we will cover the history of Databricks, review capabilities, and discuss Use Cases Best Practices. The session will also show you how to get started with Azure Databricks with a demo on setting up your first Azure Databricks Cluster using a data streaming example.
Speaker(s): Jandee Richards,
Abstract:
Microsoft says Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database. Your reaction might be something like, “what the heck is it”, “why would I use it”, or “how do I use it”. The fundamental purpose of this session is to answer those very questions. After briefly discussing what CosmosDB is, we’ll take some time to discuss why you might use CosmosDB instead of SQL Server or another platform, and finally touch on some basics to get you started with CosmosDB. Upon completion of this session you will be better equipped to discuss the value of CosmosDB to your organization.

LIVING OUT LOUD A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: Two emotionally wounded people have an off-kilter flirtation in a bittersweet comedy. Holly Hunter plays a very confused divorcee unable to cope with her changing world, and Danny DeVito is a lonely elevator operator from her building. The script meanders aimlessly over the short distance it travels but the characters are worth knowing. The story was inspired by two stories by Anton Chekhov. Rating: 6 (0 to 10), high +1 (-4 to +4)
Judith Nelson (played by Holly Hunter) is a very married woman at the beginning of LIVING OUT LOUD.  When he leaves her for another woman it is like removing the spool. What remains is a confused and knotted jumble without purpose or organization. She fantasizes a variety of crazy thoughts including a suicide that will take her ex-husband and his wife with her.
Meanwhile we also follow the story of Pat Francato (Danny DeVito), a widower with a daughter who is very sick. He plays poker and has gotten into trouble with loan sharks. He is the elevator operator in Judith's apartment building and has taken an interest in her, though he is painfully slow in getting around to talk to her. Pat realizes that an attractive blond like Judith--uh, Holly Hunter is a blond in this film--would not want a short bald man who is also in trouble. He starts pulling his life together. Judith, on the other hand, is a much weaker person and will have a much harder time getting on with her life. It is not a romance that has much of a chance. Judith needs some good advice and finds it in a blues singer at Jasper's, her favorite nightclub. Liz Bailey, played majestically by Queen Latifah, is a mother figure that Judith desperately needs at this crisis in her life.
Richard LaGravenese wrote and directed LIVING OUT LOUD taking his inspiration from two stories by Anton Chekhov, "The Kiss" and "Misery." (The latter is available at http://eldred.ne.mediaone.net/ac/misery.htm.). I did not realize that as I was watching the film but it explains a lot about the style and pace of the film. Not much can be said to happen in the LIVING OUT LOUD, which creates its characters, and then lets us look at them almost affixed in one episode of their lives. When one thinks of Hunter one first thinks of the supremely organized women she played in films like BROADCAST NEWS or even RAISING ARIZONA. Here she is almost the antithesis of that role. She is capricious, flighty, and internally crumbling. Above all she is self-destructive. It is really Hunter's film. We see a lot less depth in DeVito who is can almost be summed up with the phrase "nice guy." There is a great deal in this film that stretches the viewer's credulity. Liz Bailey very quickly becomes a friend and confidant of Judith. This seems particularly odd since Judith seems frequently to be more a pest than an honored customer at Jasper's. It even seems a little strange that Pat is interested in Judith, who is obviously trouble.
LIVING OUT LOUD is long on character and short on plot. I rate it a 6 on the 0 to 10 scale and a high +1 on the -4 to +4 scale.

create a buffer from the pool
Create a wl_buffer object from the pool.
The buffer is created offset bytes into the pool and has width and height as specified. The stride argument specifies the number of bytes from the beginning of one row to the beginning of the next. The format is the pixel format of the buffer and must be one of those advertised through the wl_shm.format event.
A buffer will keep a reference to the pool it was created from so it is valid to destroy the pool immediately after creating a buffer from it.

ELIZABETH A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1998 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ** 1/2
Liz is a hot-blooded young woman with a sexy young lover. No, not the young Elizabeth Taylor. The clock is on English time, and it's set to 1554. The woman in question is Queen Elizabeth I, and the movie, ELIZABETH, covers the time just before and after the 25-year-old woman is crowned queen.
Indian director Shekhar Kapur's vision of Elizabeth is as a modern heroine, lover, and ruler. Michael Hirst's script advances that view by giving her dialog as fresh and bland as a modern novel. Typical of the insipid lines, are Elizabeth's statements, "I do not like wars. They have uncertain outcomes."
With the lovely and intelligent Cate Blanchett, from OSCAR AND LUCINDA, cast as the lead, the movie bursts with potential. The largely wasted supporting cast includes SHINE's Geoffrey Rush, JUDE's Christopher Eccleston, STEALING BEAUTY's Joseph Fiennes, JURASSIC PARK's Richard Attenborough, COLONEL CHABERT's Fanny Ardant, SHADOWLANDS's Edward Hardwicke, and even Sir John Gielgud in a cameo as the Pope.
Even with all of this promise, the film cries out for a one-word review: Confusing.
With lavish sets by John Myhre, luxurious costumes by Alexandra Byrne, radiant cinematography by Remi Adefarasin and stirring music by David Hirschfelder, the film is a treat for the eyes and the ears, except for the dialog. With the center speakers turned off, the movie would make a top-rated silent picture.
The writer and director get the visuals perfect but have great difficulty in creating a coherent story. Even those, like myself, who consider themselves students of English history will have trouble following the movie's details. Filmed on the dark side, many of the characters, who look similar, dart in and out of scenes without ever establishing motivations for their actions. Elizabeth's part is well developed, but the supporting cast all have underwritten roles. Although the overall setup for the story is clear, I posit that if they were to have a pop quiz at end of the movie, most audiences would have trouble identifying the characters and explaining their roles.
The movie opens with Queen Mary, a.k.a., Bloody Mary, having English citizens burned at the stake for rejecting the "one-true Catholic Church." She imprisons her Protestant, half-sister Elizabeth with the hopes of hanging a charge of treason on her. "Why must we tear ourselves apart with the small question of religion?" Elizabeth asks her accusers as she is thrown in prison in the Tower of London
Elizabeth is a lithe, stunning and levelheaded beauty. In contrast, pudgy Queen Mary (Kathy Burke) seems a paranoid lunatic. When Mary dies, Elizabeth inherits a bankrupt kingdom with no army. A rebellious Mary of Guise hosts hostile French troops ready to make war on England.
The rest of the movie has a swarm of supporting characters in a convoluted series of conspiratorial subplots. The machinations are as thick as they are confusing. To develop them into a comprehensible story, the filmmakers should either have added an extra hour to the film's length or eliminated some of them. Do we really need a royal cross-dressing bisexual scene?
If writer Hirst and director Kapur are successful with this modern adaptation of the story of Queen Elizabeth I, the future possibilities are limitless and potentially appalling. Perhaps, Christian Slater as Julius Caesar? Hirst could give him some snappy dialog like, "Hey Brutus, what you doin' here?" Please, no.
ELIZABETH runs 2:04. It is rated R for violence, sex and nudity and would be fine for most teenagers.

11 July 2019
One Day. One Track. One Community
Milestones
Steve O'Grady writes in The New Kingmakers that the most successful companies today are those that understand the strategic role that developers will play in their success or failure. ServerlessDays events are attended by developers pushing the boundaries of new technology, to the benifit of the organisations they work for, whether it's a startup looking to change the world, or an established 300 year old bank that continues to change the world.
After two great years in East London, at St John's Hoxton, ServerlessDays moves to Imperial College in South Kensington. Neighbouring the Science Museum on one side and the Royal Albert Hall on the other, with the Natural History Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum a stone's throw away. Imperial College gives us the space to grow, whilst still offering an accessible event.


Young people sometimes ask me what does it take to build a business. I’ve been in startups almost all my adult life. Some I built, others I was part of. My collective experience has taught me the following practical truth bombs.
You will always have to maintain someone. If you’re not married, as Asians, you will normally live with your parents. You will need to contribute to the household one way or another. Often, that means contributing part of the bills. There is no escape here. You have bills to pay and you are responsible to someone. So you will need a stipend that covers your daily needs and contributes to the household. Calculate that. Normally, this could be somewhere around $800 to $2700 (or more) depending on the household size, the economic output of the household and your own personal expenses.
When you are young, you don’t and won’t know a lot of things. Either you go through a crash course and learn on the job, or you join companies of different sizes and culture so you have an idea of how things work. My suggestion is 3 companies over a span of 6 to 10 years. 2 in private sector and 1 in public sector. Of the 2 private sector, join a startup or a small SME and the other a MNC or larger SME about 100 headcount or more. The first one allows you to learn through error and experience. The second allows you to learn through mentorship and experience. The benefit in the first one is growing yourself 10x and achieving goals you never thought you could. The benefit in the second one is building a network of trust built over time working with lots of different people, and when you do build your first startup, these people will be your first customers or founders.
There is no such thing as using other people’s money to raise funding and build your startup. When you use other people’s money, strings are always attached. Of all the times I built a $1 capitalised company, approaching investors within the first 12 months is a pain. They will not feel you are taking any risks despite your protestations no matter how convicted you feel you do take an insane amount of risk. Use your own money as much as possible. Ideally SGD150,000. If not, start somewhere. If all you have is SGD10,000, then start with that, but bear in mind there are limitations. You can only do so much with SGD10,000. So you either get creative, or figure out how to stretch that dollar.
There’s only so much you can do alone. Ideally, build a team with like-minded peers who you’ve worked with before and trust. If not, outsource as much as you can any non-essential duties and work and focus on the stuff that makes your business tick.
All 4 things above are stuff you can control.  If you take care of all the risks and monitor your bank account, you will have a smoother journey than others. If not, prepare for painful bumps. Whatever it is, you cannot be afraid of failure.
 You will hit roadblocks.  You will get days when you start to question the point of this thing you built up. This is when you choose between flight or fight. I’ve met many people that chose flight. And many others that chose fight. There is no right or wrong.
Often, people who chose flight cut their losses and do something else. This almost often means another startup whether founding one or joining one. They experience the least pain, but in my frank opinion, also the least growth. I have often chosen to take flight. I am not a gambling man. I like data. I like stats. I like probabilities. I like logic. I’m conservative. I cut my losses and do something else.
Recently, I’ve chosen fight. Now here’s the thing with fight. You don’t fight to lose. You fight to win. That’s exactly the same goal for people who take flight. They cut their losses and take their winnings. The difference is that for people who fight, they will face a lot of pain. When you go through pain, you will grow. You will find the limits of your strength, and you will break them and get stronger. However, everyone has limits they won’t be able to break. These limits are situational. It by no means describe how weak you are.  If you know you are going to lose, stop. If you know you are going to win, continue fighting. The only way to know this is to recognise your opportunity cost.
What is the opportunity cost if you continue to fight?
Will you be able to contribute meaningfully to the household? (Lesson 1)
Will your parents or dependents be able to support or help you tide things over? (Lesson 1)
Will you be able to make salary for your employees and cover overheads like rental and suppliers? (Lesson 2 and 3)
What are the things in your life right now that you might stand to lose if you continue to fight? (car, money, gold, children, family, friends, employees, office, suppliers etc) (Lesson 3 and 4)
Are you willing to lose them even if you win?
In essence, people who choose fight, need to be aware of the cost, and need to be aware that somehow, you will need to pay for these costs. Where do you draw the line? Identify key events that determine your win or your loss.
Then work backwards and build towards the win.
Execute your plan, and check your opportunity costs twice a month especially when your life force is low.
What happens when you win? First you pay for the costs. Second, you celebrate.
What happens when you lose? First you still pay for the costs. Second, you go back to the drawing board and depending on whether you still have the stomach for a fight, try again. If not, it’s ok. Work. Build your money. Build your resources. Build your network. And when the time is right, when you take care of the first 4 lessons, and if you regain the stomach for it, try again.
People fail all the time. But it is also statistically proven that the most long-lasting successful businesses are those founded by people in their late thirties and forties, some even older. So success might come sooner than you think.
If you are familiar with this, then you recognise that the values based answer to the question is grit. Grit is the one value in every entrepreneur that is the most important. But I do not believe that choosing to stop fighting is a lack of grit.
To me, grit is not everything. I want to win. But it is more important to know what battles you can win and what battles you can’t. The only way to know is to actually fight a bit. Winning is as much about being smart as it is about being tough. When you’re throwing those punches remember to keep your gloves up defending them. Live to fight another day. Until you find a battle that means everything to you and when you literally have nothing to lose. That’s when all opportunity costs won’t make any sense. Then and only then, fight till the death.
Fighters build their wins towards a title. What is your title? What is the one thing you’d risk everything for? That, is the answer to everything.

The program used to run the telescope is a Gnuradio program called spectrometer_w_cal.grc. It is available from the WVURAIL/gr-radio_astro repository in Github. The spectrometer_w_cal.grc program has several features to make data collection with the horn telescope user-friendly. Each feature on the display is described below.
Set up the horn and connect the LNA to the Airspy with a cable, and the Airspy to the computer USB. Then open the spectrum_w_cal.grc program in Gnuradio. This video shows how to set up a horn and start the program.
You can also watch this video, which describes these user interface features in detail.
1. Features of the Spectrum Tab
-
Graphical Display Boxes:
-
Spectrum graph – shows the signal vs. frequency spectrum, which is the primary focus of our investigations with a radio telescope.
-
System Heartbeat – This is actually a histogram of signals being detected. During normal, this display should continuously jump up and down during a run. As long as its “beating,” things are good. If this graph looks frozen, then the program has probably stopped running, and you will need to restart the program.
-
-
Spectrum Display options:
-
filtered spectrum with no calibration - the raw spectrum collected is displayed with the noise spikes filtered out.
-
spectrum with calibration - the hot and cold calibrations are factored in to display the true signal received from the galaxy.
-
hot calibration - Select when pointing the telescope at the “hot” source (the ground) during the calibration procedure.
-
cold calibration - Select when pointing the telescope at the “hot” source (the ground) during the calibration procedure.
-
unfiltered spectrum with no calibration - the raw spectrum collected is displayed with no changes made to it.
-
-
Integration Time options:
-
Because the radio signals being detected are extremely weak, it is necessary for the software to add together (integrate) the signals detected over a period of time. This is the integration time. This averages out the noise in the signal, making the galaxy signal more prominent. The user has the option of setting two different integration times when using this spectrometer.
-
The user can change these settings in the integration variable blocks before starting the program.
- Short Integration
-
This is useful for quick sampling of what the telescope is looking at.
-
The default setting for the shorter integration time is 0.4 s.
-
- Long Integration
-
This is useful for when smoother data is desired. Usually the user will use the longer setting for targeted pointings where “good” data is needed.
-
The default setting for the longer integration time is 10 s.
-
-
-
Integration Reset – This resets the data averaging when the long integration time is selected. This is needed if the telescope pointing is changed in the middle of a long integration to assure the spectrum displayed is the average of the new pointing.
-
Full or Clipped Spectrum
-
Clipped spectrum – In this display the ends of the spectrum, between 1414 and 1415 MHz and between 1423 and 1424 MHz, are clipped off. This removes the distracting background portions of the spectrum, as discussed in the The System Background Signal in the What Can a Horn Telescope Measure? post.
-
Full spectrum – This is self explanatory.
-
-
Capture Current Spectrum button
- The live spectrum being displayed on the main graph can be captured in a .csv text file for easy access later.
-
Write to .csv File
-
This option enables the spectrum to be written to newly created files once every integration time so that data can be collected without the user’s presence.
-
See the video Saving Data Using the spectrometer_w_cal.grc Program.
-
2. Features of the System Temp/Gain Tab
-
These graphs are not needed during most telescope runs. They are mainly for those who are interested in the quantitative performance of the telescope.
-
System Temperature Spectrum – This graph is an indication of the amount of signal that is coming from the telescope system itself.
-
Gain – This is the factor that is used by the spectrometer to scale the detected signal into known astronomical units.
