virtual |
Controls whether arguments for all kernels that are part of manipulator will be automatically uploaded to corresponding compute API buffers before any kernel is run in the current invocation of launchComputation() method. Argument preload is turned on by default.
Turning this behavior off is useful during utilization of kernel compositions where different kernels use different arguments which would not all fit into available memory at once. Buffer creation and deletion can be then controlled by using createArgumentBuffer() and destroyArgumentBuffer() methods for corresponding arguments. Any leftover arguments after launchComputation() method has finished will still be automatically cleaned up. Inheriting class can override this method.

This method is responsible for directly running the computation and ensuring that correct results are computed. It may utilize any other method inside the tuning manipulator as well as any user-defined methods. Any other tuning manipulator methods run from this method only affect current invocation of launchComputation() method. Inheriting class must provide implementation for this method.
When tuning manipulator is used, computation duration is calculated based on duration of launchComputation() method. Initial buffer transfer times are not included in this duration (eg. duration of createArgumentBuffer() methods). KTT framework overhead and kernel compilation times are not included in the final duration either.

The client consists of a web page with a small form that contains two inputs
and a button. The inputs are for entering the number of times the LED should
blink and the amount of time between each blink. Figure 1 shows what the page
looks like in the browser. To keep things simple, there is no styling or
stylesheet included.
Below is the HTML for the page. HTML id attributes are assigned to the form
elements, and will be accessed by the client JavaScript. There are two scripts
referenced by the page, socket.io.js, which
is the client socket.io library, and
blink-client.js, which handles the
communication to the server.
Finally we have the client JavaScript, shown below in Figure 3. In the first
line, a client socket is created, using the
io() function exposed by the client socket
library. The parameter given to the
io() function is the server URL and port.
Next, the id attributes of the inputs and button are used to create objects
that reference these elements. Finally, an event listener is added to handle
the button clicks and send the input values to the server over the socket.


IoTPy: Python + Streams¶
Indices and tables¶
About¶
Description¶
IoTPy is a Python package that helps you to build applications that operate on streams of data.
The two goals of IoTPy:
Build non-terminating functions that operate on endless streams by reusing terminating functions, such as those in libraries like NumPy and SciPy.

Trust No One: Turns Out That Rage Against The Machine Tour ‘Leak’ Was Fake
by Jared RichardsYesterday, we reported on a seeming tour leak that suggested Rage Against The Machine were locked in to headline Splendour In The Grass next year. Unfortunately, the good folks at Wall Of Sound have spoken to the troll reportedly behind the ‘leaked’ poster, and it looks like we might be waiting a little bit longer to see ‘Killing In The Name’ live.
Related
The ‘leak’ came in the form of a 2020 world tour poster, which listed shows in Melbourne and Byron Bay around the time of Splendour, and was even supposedly re-shared on the band’s Instagram in a now-deleted post.
While we’re generally pretty suspicious of tour poster leaks, the Instagram screenshot was the touch that made it seem real. Unfortunately, someone got in touch with WOS to let them know they had faked the whole thing.
“So, the insta was shopped, the poster isn’t anything amazing but the Insta really sells it,” they told WOS. “I just changed the post count and time stamp of it haha As far as why [I did it], I mean, I love a good troll hey.  Especially as it’s their 20th year.”
One clue that things were off was that the post misspelt Auckland. Better luck next time. Still, maybe the band’s team saw the feverish reaction the hoax created, and realise that there’s a market for an Australian tour? Consider their Coachella 2020 set a warm up for the real event… right?


Performs adaptive shrinkage of correlation and covariance matrices using a mixture model prior over the Fisher z-transformation of the correlations. It allows separate shrinkage intensity for each cell of the correlation matrix. Can also we flexibly extended to shrinking correlation like quantities such as cosine similarities in word2vec models and to partial correlations in conditional graph estimation. For details on methods, refer to Stephens (2017) "False discovery rates: a new deal", <doi:10.1093/biostatistics/kxw041>.

8 1/2 WOMEN (director/writer: Peter Greenaway; cinematographer: Sacha Vierny; editor: Elmer Leupen; cast: John Standing (Philip Emmenthal), Matthew Delamere (Storey Emmenthal), Polly Walker (Palmira), Amanda Plummer (Beryl), Toni Collette (Griselda), Kirina Mano (Mio), Vivian Wu (Kito), Natacha Amal (Giaconda), Giulietta (Manna Fujiwara); Runtime: 122; Lions Gate Films; 1999-Netherlands/UK/Ger/Lux)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
It's possible for Peter Greeaway ("Drowning by Numbers"/ "A Zed and Two Noughts"/``Prospero's Books'') to make a more boring sexual/erotic fantasy film, one that is more didactic and analytical, but not likely that he could duplicate one that is also so full of itself as this one was. It is the director's audacious opinion that he can get away without having a story to go with the full frontal nudity display of men and women he flaunts throughout the film. It results in a torturous viewing experience, as pablum is spouted in verbose spurts of emotive stagy responses, while the reward for the viewer is a few stilted visual delights and a few restrained chuckles to be had at the absurdity of all the perversity. The film defies social conventions and commercial filmmaking sensibilities, something Greenaway has built a reputation on, as his films are critic-proof, playing to art-house audience types who relish his deft camerawork and the cerebral challenges his films pose as puzzlers.
A wealthy 55-year-old Swiss businessman Philip Emmenthal (John Standing), the director's alter ego for the film, has just become a widow and grieves his wife's death by wondering who's going to hold and love me now for my body. He wants someone to hold him, and to the rescue comes his narcissistic thirtysomething son Storey (Matthew Delamere), who gets into bed with him for some tender incest.
After he goes to the cinema with his son and sees Fellini's 8 1/2 (an overated film that the passage of time has been unkind to), and watches Mastroianni setting up a harem of women, this gives the son an idea on how he can console his father, as he copies the film, setting up a harem in their Swiss estate. After viewing the film again on video, the son begins collecting the 8 1/2 women -- the half is an amputee bound in a wheelchair named Giulietta (Manna Fujiwara) -- Is her name an homage to Fellini's wife? If so, what a left-handed honor is bestown on Fellini! The father's response to the film is, "How many film directors make films to satisfy their sexual fantasies?" The son says -- "most of them." Which is about the best way of explaining what this very personal film means for Greenaway.
The film revolves around the woman collected, as the location of the story moves from Kyoto, Japan, where the father closes a deal on pachinko parlors (pinball games), to different parts of Europe. In Kyoto, Kito (Vivian Wu) is a repressed and headstrong business woman on their staff. She engineered their real-estate deals in Japan and helps them collect the Asian women. The women collected who make some kind of impression include a compulsive pachinko player (Shizuka Inoh) who gets in gambling debt, thereby selling her body to Storey to cancel the debt, with her approving husband by her side; Mio (Kirina Mano), a female impersonator who happens to be female; a bizarre, horsewoman thief (Amanda Plummer), in a neck brace and facially made up like Joel Grey was in "Cabaret," who loves horses and sleeps with a pig; Griselda (Collette), who is a Norwegian bankteller and a wannabe nun; a greedy baby-making entrepenaur Giaconda (Natacha Amal) who sells her newborn babies for as high as $25,000; and, best of all, the only performance worth talking about in the film, the scheming Palmira (Polly Walker) as the adventurous libertine, willing to sell her voluptious body to Philip (she looks great in the nude). She is, of course, by the nature of the film, more attracted to Philip's aging, decrepit body than she is to his son's healthy and vital one.
The film didn't mean much to me, but it did say something about how women understand sex better than men and men are such children when it comes to sex. It brought up things that are taboo and showed how art is a metaphor for one's obsessions in sex. The film felt so much like attending a tedious college lecture in a Fellini 101 course in perversity as expounded by the arid Professor Greenaway, that it turned into an anti-erotic movie, a text book type of film where you can bring in all sorts of intellectual things that weren't developed in the film, but were only hinted at, and thereby there will always be something perceived about the film to justify it as an erstwhile effort.

This project leverages TensorFlow Lite to create optimized linear and DNN models through pruning and quantization for realtime inferencing on Raspberry Pi and OBU of Connected Vehicles.
In this project, I implemented an interpreter for python 2.7.x using flex (scanner) and bison (parser). The interpreter was written in C/C++ and is capable of interpreting most of the Python 2.7.x language constructs.
This is a set of wearable devices that inform the user about UV exposure rate. One device senses UV radiation and the other displays the UV radiation levels. The display device shows the current and average UV index.
This is an autonomous line following robot built without a microcontroller. It operates on the principle of light reflection from a surface and can navigate without missing the track.
This project involves the creation of a custom ETL pipeline for extracting data from MSSQL database to Elasticsearch with Apache Spark. It also creates an Avro/Parquet file that is saved into HDFS for persistence. It can run on local environment as well as on spark cluster.
In a bid to assuage the impact of high level of traffic experienced on Clemson Gamedays, we modeled a custom queue warning system for use on game days using software Verification and Validation Tools and Techniques.

Hello beautiful listener. Here's the deal. This episode is either gonna sound like we're making popcorn next to the microphone or
It's gonna sound like we've gone straight hipster and have issued this episode on vinyl it
Once again is full of snap crackle and pop which if it was a breakfast cereal would be ideal
But it's not it's a podcast and it's one we take huge pride in producing to the highest quality that we can
Sadly, despite having invested a lot of money in state-of-the-art equipment, we've had nothing but problems.
So after spending countless hours with people who are experts in this arena and doing our best to troubleshoot the problem,
we've contacted the manufacturer of one of the key pieces that make our podcast easy to record and are sending it back.
We just wanted to apologize once again for the quality of the recording.
It's absolutely not our heart to have it sound like this.
If it helps pretend you're cooler than everyone else and if anyone asked why this episode is so crackly say yeah i prefer my podcast on vinyl.
I'm not a j's podcast for monday most wonderful show is keeping up with the jones is jones is jones been quite the week it has been quite the week.
It started off fantastically.
It did.
Monday, Monday we released a podcast with Henry and Alex Seeley from the belonging.
Yes.
That everybody seemed to love.
Well, they're pretty lovable people's.
They are.
And they shared an amazing story.
And they have fantastic accents.
That's very, very true.
If you haven't had a chance to listen to that, we think you'd love it.
Go to lnag.com/97.
But wait till you finish this one because this is going to be awesome too.
Yes.
Well, hang on, hang on.
I jumped ahead because Sunday night we went to the airport
picked up our friend Dan Farley from Bethel Church in Reading California.
Yes, we did. How awesome is Dan? Dan is on a scale of one to awesome, far past awesomeness.
You know, we've worked hard to try and get them on the show, but when we fly men, we jam him
pack at the school. So we need to work out a different schedule because the world needs to
hear more Dan Farley. And he said he's open to it. So maybe it'll work out next time.
If you haven't heard his teaching on brave communication, I'll put a link in the show notes
and you can go grab it from Bethel's website. It is absolutely excellent.
It is. It's fantastic.
He's one of my favorite people to listen to, and he's done an incredible job of just being
himself and in listening to his wisdom and his revelation, it has tempered a lot of the teaching
that I do. Yeah, and he's also great at sort of demystifying scripture and just making
loving the word a normal thing rather than like something just the zealots do.
Dan, fairly two giant thumbs up. Yes. Well, that was Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we began to fall
like flies. Yes, the family started dropping like flies. Well, in fairness, I dropped like two weeks
ago. Right. And then Tia dropped last weekend. Okay, but you're on antibiotics, Tia's on antibiotics.
and then mike john at 10 p.m. woke up on Wednesday night not feeling very well i don't want to talk about because i want to grow people out but it was just.

I'm not a joke and well we didn't realize was that that was going to be going on through the night.
Yes we ran out of bed linen i ran the laundry three times four times four times between the hours of 10 p.m.
in 3.30 a.m.
Yes. We have like six bed sheets for the crib. We used all of them before we moved them into
our bed. Yes. And I chose to sleep on the floor.
Yes. But at least I got sleep at 3.30. I called out a night when the sleep woke up at 6.30.
You just stayed awake through the night. Well, because he just would snuggle into my neck
and hold onto my arm, which was adorable. And he'd be like, "Mommy, I know if you're good."
And then he vomited on me. Yeah. Yeah. I changed four times as well.
sleeping on the floor with no vomit or sleeping in bed with vomit. I think I won out pretty
well. Yeah, I think he definitely won. So we took him to the doctor on Thursday, turns out he got
hit with two things, strep throat, which Tia had. Right. And then also this 12 hour tummy bug.
Yeah, poor baby. And the doctor was like, what time did he start at? And it was like 10 p.m.
 And through to her word, he was. He didn't throw up again after 10 a.m.
So that was good.
We held him down and they stuck trical into his butt it took forever took for every name was so sad and he didn't talk to me for like two hours after that.
How I became the bad guy I have no idea you were the one that was holding him I know but while holding on whispered in his ear and said this is mommy's fault.
You are horrible individual and then gets better because on Friday when we got up to start the day.
poor abigail you know about as pale and way flight as you can imagine i have to
say that we could have blown on her and she would have fallen over so
so so sad to the daughter and she has what you had she had the sign is so
everybody's on antibiotics yes and on probiotics to counter the anti-piotics
and then friday night you went camping i did help me understand as i'm sure everyone
knows i don't get the appeal of camping but tell me and i'll try to remain as open
minded as possible the appeal of camping yet well i don't the appeal
of leaving a perfectly good house that's warm and has like running water and electricity
and Wi-Fi or you can eat whatever you want whenever you want and going to sleep on the
ground under a nylon shell when it's below freezing.
Well okay so sleeping on the ground under the nylon shell wasn't my favorite part.
But isn't that like a core component of camping?
Well first of all I slept on a mattress.
Ooh upgrade.
Yes well like a six inch mattress.
I mean, I was not, I could not feel the floor at all.
- Piddle top, I assume?
- Yes, absolutely.
But it was definitely cold.
I think the appeal is getting away.
Like I realized when I got out to the state park
that I had absolutely no signal whatsoever.
Thank you, T-Mobile.
Plenty of other people did have signal, I just didn't.
But then when I realized that I thought,
well, that's actually what I'm doing is sort of unplugging
and just enjoying the people that you're with.
So that's the appeal.
The appeal is just enjoying people that you're with
without all of the frivolities of normal life.
- But don't you think the frivolities of normal life
add to the enjoyment of people?
- Well, I think it's easy to just hide in your home
and not actually have any kind of relationship
with people at all because you have all of the frivolities.
- So you just shiver together and grow a special bond?

And and it's the challenge and fun of making camp food, but it's still being yummy and bonding
over having not slept the night before.
There are plenty of people slept fine, but there are all the kind of people that can like just,
most of them would say things like, well, I just buried my face in my sleeping bag or I went fully
into my sleep. I can't, if I can't breathe normal air, you know, I can't do it.
I can't cycle up to you at night because I'm quote unquote breathing your air.
You can spoon.
I can't spoon with you.
You're like, it's you're wrong. I can hear your breathing.
Well, there's just some people don't like to be touched when they're asleep and I'm one of them.

So, but it was good.
And I got to wake up to a babbling brook that was right next door to me at 6 a.m.
Well, the birdies were I actually asked the Lord to murder birds.
I was like, no, I'm not ready since angels to murder those birds.
Oh, it didn't happen.
OK, well, you haven't redeemed it for me whatsoever.
It all sounds horrible.
I got to have really great conversations and meet how much people I didn't know.
So that was good.
That was glorious.
A horrible.
Saturday, our friend David Campbell, who's in this week, teach on the school, he flew
in Friday.
It was a Friday?
Yeah, he flew in Friday because I was away camping.
You're going to come and that's right.
I went and picked him up with the dinner together.
So our friend David is here.
David is an amazing leader from England.
He's Scottish though.
Yes, he's definitely Scottish.
I.
He's a missionary to England.
Anyway, he's over here for a week.
End of the brief.
Please stop.
Sorry.
[LAUGHTER]
And that's just so great to see him.
He did a tremendous job speaking at Grayson
on Sunday morning.
We love that.
It was very good.
It was very humorous, too.
So it sounds like a bad week, but I'm glad it's over,
and it wasn't that bad.
I'm glad that MJ was the only one that got the vomiting thing.
Yep.
That could have been horrific.
Yeah.
All right, let's stop talking about vomit.
Let's talk about our main topic for this week.
What is our main topic for this week?
We're going to be talking about the BIBLE.
B-I-B-L-E, yes, that's the book for me.
I stand alone on the word of God, B-I-B-L-E.
Pretty good for somebody who didn't grow up in church, huh?
Somebody who didn't grow up in church.
Yes.
Tell me this.
You obviously love the word of God.
I love the word of God.
When we were designing second year, the second year of school,
supernatural life, you were super excited about not only teaching about the word
of God, but teaching the word of God itself.
Yes.
And you have this year taught verse by verse through the song songs.
Yes.
the book of Ephesians, the book of Romans, and most recently, the book of Esther.
Tell me how you grew to love the Word of God.
I think it is hard to be close to the Holy Spirit and not love the Word of God.
I think I'm just thinking like I, when I first got saved, which is when I was 15,
I was in a Baptist church.
And so, and they're pretty hardcore word people.
those baptists. And so I started reading and memorizing because that's what you do.
But when the renewal started in Toronto and the Holy Spirit started showing up,
I just found myself getting hungrier and hungrier and hungrier for the word.
Okay.
So I don't know that I can give you a method other than draw close to God and
let him build that hunger in you. Like, Tal got, I want a hunger for your word.  And luckily, I don't think anybody ever should
have it on me. I think it was just, I wanted to understand it. And I knew like, because I didn't
grow up hearing the Bible, I, it was all new to me. So it was interesting.
Right, but was this from immediately when you got saved or once renewal started?
Once renewal started, I got way more into it. I liked the challenge when I first got saved of
memorizing scripture because it was something that was easy for me to do and I could win contests at
church and stuff. But I'm actually quite thankful for that because a lot of the stuff I had to
memorize, I still have that. I still have that. I would say I really got much more hungry and
and really started enjoying the word
after the revival started in Toronto.
- Okay. - Yeah.
- Who was instrumental in teaching you the word?
- Probably a bunch of different people like,
I loved when I heard people like John Arne,
of course, talk or Mark DuPont,
people like that, that they obviously really loved the word
and that to me was super inspiring.

I was like, I didn't know you could know the Bible like that.
And it's obviously life to you.
So I want that.
I actually invented a traveling Bible game at one point.
Oh, wait, do tell.
Because I've seen your traveling game.
No, because you know, we need to go on road trips with people and I would take people that we were
that I was mentoring on the road, you know, to different things. You'd be driving for six hours.
And so I invented a game called Link. And in Link, somebody starts with one verse and they just say
the verse. So they would say, you know, whatever, Romans 8 verse 28, for we know that God causes
all things to come together for good for those love God and call according to His purpose. So you go,
Okay. And then the person who was next to them would have to pick another verse.
And they'd only have like a one minute window to find it.
That naturally linked with the theme of the previous verse. And if you had to explain
why you were linking the two, then it was a fail. Like you didn't actually link it.
Are you telling me that this game takes a minute each round?
Well, admit you had a minute to find the verse if you didn't know where it was.
What does every do in the meantime while that person's finding it?
I mean, a minute I've already lost interest in this game.
Well, people were, I think a lot of people were trying to prep possible
verses that they could have come up with so that they could link their thing.
But like at one point, a friend of mine, Mark and I were doing this road trip and he and
I were playing the game and we must have played it for like five and a half hours while driving.
Just back and forth.
Did Nintendo ever come knocking to license this game?
No, sadly, but but we had fun.
But they did use the name Link in the Zelda series.
Yeah, that's where they got it from.
That's my link right there.
There you go. Talk to me about and we're not arguing here because we tease each other.
But talk to me about your go to translations.
My go to translations are the NASB and the message.
I have a parallel Bible that has them both next door to each other.

It's enormous.
I'm not going to lie.
It came with, you see, you brought the Bible and it came with the NASB on one side,
the message on the other and two years worth of free chiropractic adjustment.
It should have.
It should have.
It works great as a pillow though, because, you know, you don't really scrunch
your shoulder when you lie down on it.
It's not the size of the yellow pages.
It's enormous.
But I love it.
It's a great, it's a great Bible.
I started reading the NSP when I got saved.
And then when the renewal started, of course, I was in a different
church because I had moved to the Toronto Airwork Christian fellowship.
And I remember going up to John and to Mark and saying, what version do you read?
And they both read the NSP, which is what I was already reading.
So I was like, oh, I'll stay with that.
It's obviously a security.
And it's nice to read something that's familiar.
You know, you tend to like what you started with.
Then how the heck did you end up with a message?
That was totally the Lord.
There was passages of scripture that I just didn't enjoy, like the song of Solomon.
And when I started reading it in the message, I was like, Oh, I feel like for the first
time I'm understanding something here, I'm getting why people like certain books.
And I thought they're about as opposite as you can get, you know, the NASB and the message.
So to read the same verse right beside each other, actually, there's a whole lot of discussion
I could have with the Holy Spirit about, huh, what's actually going on here?
So it really helped in that department.
That makes sense.
We haven't talked about my new foray into old habits.
Into the land of paper?
Yeah, I bought a paper notepad the other week.
Yes.
And in part, because I've long been aware of the link, the physiological link between
writing things down and spatial awareness. And I've tried to keep my whole life as digital as
possible. And I have a fairly good system, except I'm realizing I'm forgetting things. And who
knows whether it's age or diet or, I don't know, whatever. But I thought I want a way to capture
stuff in analog with a pen that I will then file away digitally for long-term storage,
because the advantages of digital are too good to give up. But I realized that a lot of the time
I will digitally enter something and then haven't a clue where I put it. And it'll take me forever
while I'm searching, ever know, or did I put it in notes or did I put in my to do minutes? So I
thought, what if I just capture everything on paper and then file away the stuff I want to keep?
Because some stuff is just, I'm using paper for temporary access. I need to write down
something that has been done today and it doesn't need to be.
Exactly.
But when Dan was here, Monday night, he spoke at Ammonate and he really challenged me about reading the Bible.
Of course, I read the Bible a lot.
But in the same way that I've tried to eradicate paper from my life, I haven't owned
a paper Bible probably in about 10 years.
Well, I mean, I've been married to you for 11 and I've never seen you with one.
And the reason for that is I kept losing them or they'd get stolen.
Yeah.  I have a partial photographic memory in
that when I would read the Bible, I would know the verse I was looking for because it was in the
bottom left hand corner of that thing in Isaiah. And I'd remember maybe the rough chapter, but not
necessarily the verse, but photographically, I'd remember where it was, which you don't have when
you do everything on a computer. Right. And I love Bible study on a computer. I'm frequently in many,
many different translations and parallels and I've got Greek and Hebrew lexicons open and this
and so I just love, I love all that stuff. But I have missed quite sincerely just picking up my
Bible and reading it because reading off of glass for whatever reason, I'm not enjoying. And I
actually miss holding a Bible in one hand and the field of the paper.
That's what I've been interceding for for 11 years.
It is strange though that I am turning the tide.
But that's presented a host of new problems because for the life of me, I cannot find
a Bible I like.
Please before everybody texts me or emails me or tweets me, here's a Bible you'd like.
Let me give you some clarification.
So I went to what's the big Bible store in life?
Life way and couldn't find a Bible I wanted.
And of all of their Bibles.
I found lots of things I liked but didn't have any of the criteria.
So it would seem based on my cursory inspection of the current state of Bibles that publishers
spend more time, more money, more market research in the covers of the Bible than the actual
design of the typographic layout of the Bible.
Because the Bible is going to be the only book that we read that is constantly cluttered
with unnecessary information.
So for example, when was the last time you read a book that is in two columns on one page,
but on either side of the columns, there are tiny little numbers and cross references
and points and you're just like, oh, that is so visually distracting.
Then the choice of font that they're using is tiny.
You can't read 8.75 font size, especially when it's written on tissue paper, where you
can see the other side of the 8.75 font.
It's terrible.
they don't write it on that then that's going to be twice as big split it into volumes.
It did that with Harry Potter and everyone.
But nobody wants a two volume Bible.
Which volume should I bring with me to church?
No, I don't need it to bring to church.
I just need it at home so I can read.
You know, it is already in two volumes or 66 books, like either way.
You could have an Old Testament and a New Testament or books of poetry or so there's
ways around this.
And then, so even if they have that all right, like the typography, like let's boost the
font size.
So I realize again, maybe I'm getting old, but I now need large print, not giant print.
Giant print is you can read it from the other side of the room.
But large print is what I would call normal print.
Then the leading, which is the space between the lines is all wrong.
So I'm just like, seriously, I must have killed the graphic designers who laid this stuff out
because it's everything against good practice.
It's possible that there may be not as, what's the word I'm looking for?
Discerning or picky as you are.
Well, I tell you who's killing it right now.
Who's killing it?
Crossway who are doing all the ESV books.
Crossway. That's what my journaling Bible is.
But I don't like the ESV to read for fun.
I got nothing against the ESV.
I use it often when I'm studying, but it's not what I want to read.
I prefer to read the new living translation.
So what I'm looking for.
Yes.
Is a new living translation.
Yes.
That I'm fine with chapter headings.
I'm even fine with chapter numbers, but I don't need verses in it.
And I want single column, like one block of text per page.
I want it on nicer papers than tissue paper.
I want an appropriate font size.
You may have to print this yourself.
I don't want to fully justified because it's not a newspaper.
And yeah, I did think about typesetting it myself.
Yeah, in all your spirit. I'm sure it's a small job. It's not a very large book,
but the cross. We've got this ESV readers edition. It's a beautiful, beautiful book.
I mean, it's gorgeous, but I don't want to read the ESV. I'd settle for an NIV. I don't mind reading
the NIV, but I really want to read the new living translation. So I'm on a hunt for a new Bible.
I thought you should you found one. Well, I found one that meets some of my criteria,
but not all of my criteria. It's a single column, but they're still marking the verses
down the left hand side and it's set in some like nine point font shocking behavior and
I haven't seen it in the flesh but nevertheless I want a Bible to read. I've got tons of Bible
stuff. Do you want it like made from the hide of baby goats that have been smoothed in coconut
butter and led beside a river for 18 months? Well, they've gazed at me. I feel like you're
walking me. I don't feel like it's too much to ask the most important book in the world to have some proper typographic treatment.
Okay.
Do you know what I mean?
Yes.
Like you could pick up any other books and it will read it for the actual words.
Yes.
But my point is you don't want to be distracted while doing that.
Okay.
I think that is very interesting and possibly unique to your personality.
I've never been distracted by the like the number references or anything.
I don't look at them and go, I'm so distracted.
You know, that's not true though, because when you were preparing all your teaching material,
your problem of copying and pasting was all the little verse numbers and you wanted a
way to be able to access it without those verse numbers.
No, that's not what I was removing.
I wasn't removing verse numbers.
I was removing the little tiny ones and twos that A, B, C, that reference all the five things,
which is a visual distraction for your students, correct?
I agree, but those don't appear in my Bible.
Oh, in the Bible copy, you have right.
They did in this one.
I was just like, people, please.
Yes.
I know before anybody takes me, I know there was a Kickstarter to do a reader's
version of the Bible, the split in multiple volumes with a lot of the comments
I've made addressed.
Unfortunately, it's set in ASV, which which is would remove any joy from reading.
Because now I need an English literature degree to understand what you said.
All right. Well, we can pray, baby.
I'm confident that there's one out there and I just haven't discovered it.
Yeah.
But anyway, I'm back in the paper and I'm really looking forward to reading the Bible.
Good.
In a book.
I honestly, I love reading it on paper.
I don't enjoy reading it.
I enjoy researching with my computer.
I don't enjoy reading it on my computer.
I've collected over the years a list of snippets about the Bible.
Derek Prince, who's one of the finest teachers, Bible teachers that ever lived.
He said this, "The Bible is the only book that while you read it, it reads you."
Yeah, that's awesome.
And when Dan was here on Monday, he made a couple of great points I wrote down.
He said, "The Bible is the only book we can read and the author will sit next to us."
Yes.
And we have access to the author.
We can just ask him.
So...
Yeah, that's the whole deal.
Like, I mean, I think that's what I started to understand when I got to know the Holy Spirit
as I could ask him questions as I was reading and be like, I mean, honestly, I probably at
this point, hundreds of times where I would go, Holy Spirit, why does this matter?
Or what's going on here?
And he would tell me something about the history of the time that I did not know that I had
no way of knowing and I would go back and look it up.
And it was true, you know, of course, because the Holy Spirit knows, but I mean, he wants
to fill in the blanks for us and to make it a less frustrating experience because there's
life on the word and they're supposed to be life on the word. So I loved it when he was talking about
that. Like the author is sitting with you because I'm like, yes, no wonder if people don't know that,
no wonder they don't enjoy reading it. Right. How about this? He said, good preaching points out
bad thinking. Yeah. George Bernard Shaw said this about reading the Bible. Tiesies do think
together. He says, no man ever believes that the Bible means what it says. He is always convinced
that it says what he means. But that's what I love about reading the Bible is every day when
When you read the Bible, there's a challenge to your way of thinking.
Yeah.
And I think a lot of the error that we see shock exclusive is because people have stopped either
reading the Bible or reading the Bible to prove what they think.
Yeah.
Or they've thrown out large portions of it because they don't like it or they don't understand it.
And so they're coming up with their own gospel message.
Dan said something that I thought I'd ask you to elaborate on.
I really loved what he said.
I think this is part of the reason I want to get a Bible in paper is he said read these
are his top tips for learning to read the Bible and enjoy.
First of all, read out loud, sign of all read with the pain.
And he said, then when you're reading, he said, mark up your Bible liberally.
And I want to talk to you about the way you mark up your Bible because shock exclusive.
You have a plan.
He also said, keep a pad with you and write down three headings, God, me and do.
And he said, as you're reading, if you learn something about God, put it in the God column.
If you learn something about you, put it in the me column.
And if you read something that says you're supposed to do something, write it down.
Right.
And then he added a fourth column.
He said, if you're reading an Old Testament, write down them.
He said, because you've got to read the Old Testament, the light of Jesus being here.
But I was like, that's a great little, because normally when I go to study the Bible, I'm
going into already knowing what I'm looking for.
But I love the idea of accidentally discovering stuff as your reading scripture, that just
as part of your daily devotion of reading that you would allow the Holy Spirit to speak
to you through those three or four different things.
So let's talk about markup because if anyone looks at your Bible, it's covered in ink
and you have a plan.
Talk to you about your plan, where you got it from.
It's funny because Dan said at one point he's like, "Oh, I used to do multi-colors
and that he doesn't do that anymore."
For me, it really fits with my personality type and how my brain works.
But I ended up, the first thing that I did in terms of color was when I first started
getting the revelation of the Father Heart of God, I read through the Bible from start
to finish.
And I underlined in blue any place where it was talking about the love of God or the
Father Heart of God.
So blue is the love of God?
Yeah.
And it still is, even in the new Bible, because my older one just got so, I had one that got
stolen. And then the next one, yeah, I just got so marked up that I was like, it's time to get
a new one, which is why I got the parallel. So in the parallel, yeah, the love of God,
or the Father Heart of God message is all in blue. Anything that has to do with healing or
deliverance is underlined in green. And then beside it, I would write either an H or a D.
Anything that's a promise of God is underlined in red.
I have anything about intimacy is underlined in pink.
I'm trying to think I have things for all the kind of different colors.
Anything that's just really super important, like, wow, this is pivotal for what's going on in this chapter.
I've underlined in orange.
Do you ever underlined anything in black?
I do. I don't underline in black. Usually I write notes in the margin in black. So I'll tag it with
my little promises are at P and then prophetic words that we've seen fulfilled are P with a circle
around it. Oh my gosh. I've written down this legend anywhere. Yeah, it's written in the back of my
Bible. So how often do you have to consult it? Or is that just? I don't have to look at it anymore.
But then I will in black, I'll write in the margins if there's something particular.
Like sometimes the Lord will give me like a little expression or a little rhyming
something that goes with what he's just shown me.
So I'll just write that in the margin beside.
Unbelievable.
So.
Unbelievable.
So it's pretty marked up, but, but it's organized marked up.
So I can open to a book and I can, you know, look just by the colors.
No, roughly what it's all talking about.
All right. Well, we'd love to hear from you. We'd love to hear what version of Bible you love reading.
We'd love to hear any books that you've read that's really changed where you read the Bible.
One of the books that we study in second year in the school of Supernatural Life is Grasp and God's Word,
which I've really enjoyed going through.
Yeah, it's been amazing.
Really enjoyed teaching.
There's some other great books about how read the Bible for all is worth by Gordon Fee and
somebody else that put links to that in the show notes. But if you didn't catch Ammonate Monday
I'd really encourage you to go listen to Dan Farrelly teach on reading the Bible.
He's summarized by saying that the Bible is food, the Bible keeps us from error,
and the Bible keeps us in faith.
It's super easy to listen to.
Again, I'll put a link to that in the show notes.
Babe, are you ready for one of the greatest listeners questions I've ever received?
Yes.
Here we go.
This is from anonymous.
Hello, anonymous.
And he or she says this many times I've heard you give this fabulous advice.
Find leaders you love and submit to them.
As you expound on that, it's clear that your leaders work to create clear culture and expectations.

I'm sure you're aware many leaders do not operate that way.
I'm at a small church where I believe I'm called to serve and lead for the duration.
I love my pastor and submit to him, but he is too busy keeping things afloat to create the culture you describe.
I tend to get very frustrated and discouraged when I hear you talk about the way you are
led, because I don't and probably won't get those things from my pastor.
I do what I can to lead in a way I long to be led, but it is difficult.
Should I pursue him and try to pull leadership out of him?
Should I make him make time for me?
Or should I find accountability, encouragement, and vision elsewhere?
What advice do you have for lay leaders operating and remaining in less vibrant organizational
cultures. Oh, I love that question.
Wow. Well, it sounds like you're doing a lot of stuff right in terms of you know,
that for right now, that's where God has you and you're choosing to serve there and
just, you know, be in the game, which is awesome. I have also served under leaders
for seasons of a couple of years at a time that really didn't create any kind of
the cultures that we value at this point, or that would have been conducive to building
us in leadership, that sort of thing.
During those seasons, because again, I knew that the Lord had asked me to be in that particular
spot, I was just like, "God, I'm just going to trust you that this works out well and
that you're doing something in me and you're doing something in those that I'm serving."
We have been blessed to be under amazing leaders for the majority of the time and be in a culture where,
yeah, we're the things that we value are very prevalent.
So advice that I would give.
It seems like from your question that you know, you're where you're supposed to be at the moment.
So I think it's hard to give advice without knowing the players.
But, but part of me would say, is there room to talk to the leader that you're serving and just sort of say,
um, hey, this is how I'm experiencing being here.
I, I want to be here.
I feel like God has me here.
Um, but I, I'd love to know how you're experiencing me.
And I'd love to know if there's some way to, you know, be, be trained more, be poured into more.
Right. And I can relate to that because like Asia, I've worked under less than stellar leaders.
And yet the response that we need to give our leaders is the same whether they're good or bad
leaders. And that's to honor them, make them look good, get underneath and push up.  And it is, especially in some churches where, I mean, we're so blessed,
we've gotten an enormous, relatively speaking, pastoral team. So not everybody's as stretch as
they might be if there was a whole lot less of us. But even still, I think, I'm not picking this
on you, I think, as a general rule of a human race, we teach others how we want to be treated.
So AJ and I, with all our leaders,
have been very intentional and with high degrees of honor
in seeking out what we want from our leaders,
especially in leaders that don't necessarily think like we do.
We learn how do they think,
how can we in the midst of running with them
and serving them, also inquire of them
and get the things that we need?
And one of the things that we've taught in the past
is how do you interact with leaders?
Because leaders tend to think differently
from the people who are leading,
because they've got way more things to think about than just, you know, often when we are
feeling frustrated by our leaders, we're looking at what they're doing and thinking,
well, here's a much better way of doing it, but we don't have all the facts.
Right.
So I, one of the things that we've practiced for a long time is being really relational and really
direct with a small D. I don't mean direct assertive, I mean, direct, clear and saying,
"Hey, here's something that would really be able to help me.
"Is that something that you can do right now?"
And if it is fantastic and if it isn't, it isn't.
And with all our leaders, we've done that.
Like I remember when I traveled with John and Carol,
who are amazing leaders in and of themselves,
but I remember people who watched me
as I interned with them said,
"Oh my gosh, you just draw so much out with them."
Because I'd ask questions all of the time.
Now, I would try and realize I'd try and be aware
like when is a good time to ask questions?
Are they drained and exhausted?
let's not do that, let's write that question down
and ask it another time.
But I would draw out the information they'd want
with a friend who used to intern with Heidi Baker
and she realized Heidi has no time to herself at all.
But she would realize when she slept on the base
that Heidi would get up very, very early in the morning,
she'd get in a jeep, she would drive somewhere
where she didn't know.
And so our friend just decided,
I'm gonna get up earlier than Heidi
and I'm gonna ask if I can come with her.
She positioned herself in the leader's flow to draw stuff out.
Even with Jeff and Becky, we would sit down and we would just say,
"Hey, here's one of the things we would love.
Are you able to give it?"
So we're big fans of being...
Clearly communicating.
Yeah.
We're big fans of, first of all, just sewing where you want to go.
Same of all, just honoring your leaders no matter what shape they're in.
Because no matter the degree of the leader,
that shouldn't influence the degree that you're a follower.
So you're going to purpose that in your heart.
And then third of all, just speak really, really clearly in requests, in humble requests.
And it may be that this person doesn't have that bandwidth and that's fine.
God is so good at making up the lack that we feel because he's our ultimate leader.
So I hope that helps.
I'm sorry that we've maybe frustrated you by talking about how awesome our leaders are.
But we've helped cultivate what we want.
You know, leaders don't meet everybody's expectations.
No.
So one of the things you can do is either adjust your expectations or help them meet your expectations.
And of course, and it doesn't sound like you are, but just watch your heart that you don't get better.
You know, with what you wish it looked like.
And just trust the Lord to bring it about.
However, he's going to bring about because he does care about the desires of your heart as well.
All right.
I hope that helps.
If you have a question you'd like to ask us, go to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>If you'd like the show notes for this episode, go to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to find links to everything
we've talked about this week. And lastly, our good friend and friend of the show, Blake Strand,
is starting a new podcast soon that I think you guys are going to love. Blake is a great
friend of ours. He actually encouraged us to get into podcasting. And I had the privilege of being
interviewed by him a couple of years ago. And he asked me the question, amongst others,
does God want you to be rich? If the answer to that question is of interest to you, head over
to Blake Stratton.com. As usual, I'll put a link in the show notes, but you can hear me and Blake
talk about the question, does God want you to be rich? Oh, and I almost forgot, babe, we got
shipments of your book in. We've been waiting for them.  If you've been trying to get hold of one of AJ's books, they're back in stock.
And if you haven't had a look at it yet, we are giving away the first chapter free.
just go to alanajay.com, click on the store button and it'll take you straight to the book
where you can buy a copy or you can read the first chapter for free.
Okay, thanks for tuning in.
Keeping up with the Joneses, keeping up with the Joneses.

Review of Microsoft Teams Interoperability Characteristics
This document answers some basic questions about Microsoft Teams
for creating custom GET/POST APIs
1. How can we achieve calling (custom GET/POST)APIs?
- Although I'm not sure if this counts as a custom GET/POST API, we can
create Connector Cards,
which seem like interactive messages (eg. Invites, Weather, Calender events?
Not sure)
to an Office 365 group using an API Client to send a POST request. The
recommended client is Postman.
- We can also make custom webhooks using Connectors, MS Teams' interface for
webhooks and 3rd party apps, as described . This interface is also
used to make the previously mentioned Connector Cards.
- Although there are other uses for these connectors such as notifying users
of an upcoming meeting, scheduling dates and
deadlines, sending files or approving budget changes, I believe the focus of
SOCNET is to send messages,
specifically to warn people of an emergency in their area, and Adaptive Cards
(Previously referred to as Connector Cards)
look to be the most ideal way of achieving this. If you look in the 5th
reference, you can enter a sandbox with various adaptive
card templates, and you should be able to understand what the limits of these
cards are. You can use these Adaptive Cards to
message a channel, and collect input based on what we need, such as "Can you
see the emergency (Storm/Tornado/etc) from your
location", "Is your location in a shelter or a building that can resist the
disaster?", etc. This data can then be used to
improve our messages.
2. What resources are required for connecting with MSTeams?
What is required at least:
- A text/json editor to create the JSON payload.
- A way to send the JSON as a POST i.e cURL, API Client, Powershell
- A MS Teams Webhook URL, created in the Connectors menu of MS Teams.
3. Are there any standards surrounding the product that we have to
follow?
- Other then what is needed for the requirements or listed in required, none
that I could find.

Basketball: NBA prospect LaMelo Ball makes ANBL history with youngest ever triple-double
LaMelo Ball became the youngest player in Australian NBL history to record a 'triple-double' and underlined his claims to the No.1 overall NBA draft spot in 2020.
Ball's game-high 32 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists helped Illawarra beat Cairns 114-106 in overtime at the WIN Entertainment Centre.
The 18-year-old's game-tying three-pointer with six seconds remaining on Monday night sent the contest to overtime, with scores locked at 99-99.
He then played his part in overtime to get the Hawks home.
"Pretty much I just believe in myself and my confidence levels are just really high," Ball said of his performance. "So, every shot I take, I feel like it's going in.
"I try to improve every day, pretty much, and just work my hardest."
Californian Ball is on a two-year deal with Illawarra, as part of the NBL's Next Stars programme, which was launched in March 2018.
Under the programme, the NBL contracts young overseas players - like Ball and NZ Breakers' RJ Hampton - and fast-tracks their development to give them the best chance of being drafted into the NBA, which does not accept players straight out of high school.
Ball originally intended playing college basketball at UCLA, but concerns over NCAA eligibility rules prompted his Australian move, though an NBA clause in his contract is expected to see him depart after one season.
Illawarra coach Matt Flinn heaped further praise on Ball, after a record night for the rookie.
"I think everyone saw tonight what he's capable of," Flinn said. "We see it pretty regularly in practice, when the doors are closed, but it was really nice for him to get into a flow.
"He just impacts the game in so many different ways. It's exciting to be a part of and it's also the way he brings his teammates into the game as well.
"There's so many good players in this league, but the really great ones make everyone around them better and I think we saw tonight he can bring other people into the game."
The win propelled the Hawks above the Breakers, who are now dead last on the ANBL ladder.

Very often, a rest is supposed to fill up a complete measure, independent of the meter.
Of course it is possible to use regular <rest>
elements with the proper
duration(s) for that – in case of a meter of 4/4, this would be just a
<rest dur="1"/>
. However, in other meters this may require more markup.
For that reason, MEI has a special element called <mRest/>
– a
measure rest. This element needs no @dur
attribute (even though it's
technically allowed to facilitate analytical processing), and will always fill up a
complete measure, independent of the meter. Therefore, you should not combine it with
other events in the same measure.
Please turn the whole rest (which does not fit the meter) into an <mRest/>
.

Drafts of written deliverables must be submitted as Google Docs so that I may make edits, annotations, and suggestions. Submit final versions of written deliverables as PDFs; These should meet academic standards, and faculty may read them.
Final submission of project materials must take the form of an email containing a link to a single ZIP file hosted by a cloud service. The email subject must be “MAT X Final Project” where X is the identifier of the course (e.g., 240B, 201B, etc.).
