As temperatures around the world increase, some regions will feel the heat more than others. Already, regional temperatures in the Mediterranean basin are about 1.3°C higher than they were between 1880 and 1920, compared with an increase of roughly 0.85°C worldwide during the same period.
Considering that Mediterranean basin ecosystems are a hotspot for the world's biodiversity and supply numerous services to people, including clean water, flood protection, carbon storage, and recreation, this extra increase in temperature is critical.
Here, to further consider the effects of different Paris Agreement temperature thresholds on the Mediterranean basin, Joel Guiot and Wolfgang Cramer used pollen cores from sediments, which provide rich detail about Mediterranean climate and ecosystem variability over the past 10,000 years. They applied this data in models as a baseline to estimate future climate and vegetation scenarios based on different temperature increases.
In both the "business as usual" simulations and a second set of simulations that reflected intended national goals proposed by the governments at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, the amount of ecological change that's predicted vastly exceeds that which has occurred during the Holocene. In the "business as usual" case, all of southern Spain turns into desert, deciduous forests invade most of the mountains, and shrubland vegetation replaces most of the deciduous forests in a large part of the Mediterranean basin.
Only under the scenario where the global warming is limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial temperatures do ecosystem shifts remain inside the limits experienced during the last 10,000 years.
This analysis does not account for other human impacts on ecosystems, such as land-use change, urbanization, and soil degradation, many of which are more likely to increase in the future because of the expanding human population and economic activity, the authors note.

September 11 – A Decade LaterOn September 11, 2001, four hijacked planes were used to carry out the attacks on the United States. Two planes hit New York City’s World Trade Center, a third plunged into the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after an attempt was made by passengers to regain control. In total 2,992 people were killed.
Drawing on the past 10 years of Reuters news coverage, we invite you to watch 9/11: Looking Back on Ten Years, a multimedia retrospective reflecting on the tragic events of that one day, while bearing witness to how lives around the globe have been forever changed.

For an iOS app, you can add a URL Scheme handler in your app’s Info.plist so that your app launches when another iOS app (like Mobile Safari) launches a URL with your custom scheme.
In your JavaScript, add a global function handleOpenURL which just takes one parameter, which will be a string containing the URL that was launched. Add your code to parse and handle the URL in that global function. This function will be called always if your app was launched from the custom scheme.
function handleOpenURL(url) {
// TODO: parse the url, and do something
}
In your JavaScript, the global variable invokeString will be set with the URL that your app was launched with if it was first launched with a URL (from a terminated state), not from resuming from the background (multi-tasking).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
You cannot launch any interactive features like alerts in the handleOpenURL code, if you do, your app will hang. Similarly, you should not call any Cordova APIs in there, unless you wrap it first in a setTimeout call, with a timeout value of zero:
function handleOpenUrl(url) {
// TODO: parse the url, and do something
setTimeout(function() {
// TODO: call some Cordova API here
}, 0);
}

Pollstar says U2 top touring act over the last decade
by Staff ReporterNEW YORK (AP) — It was a beautiful decade for U2 on the touring front, as the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers raked in over $1 billion in sales to be named the artist of the decade by Pollstar.
The touring trade publication tracks data on tours globally. It says U2 grossed $1.03 billion in ticket sales f rom November 2009 to November 2019. They were followed by The Rolling Stones, which had just under a billion with $929 million; Ed Sheeran was third with $922 million; Taylor Swift was fourth with an estimated $900 million; and Beyonce was at No. 5 with $857 million.
Rounding out the top 10 were Bon Jovi, Paul McCartney, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band and Roger Waters.
VenuesNow, Pollstar’s sister outlet, named London’s O2 the top grossing venue.

Abandoned car prompts police alert near Buckingham Palace
by COMPILED FROM WIRE SERVICESBritish police on Friday cordoned off the main road near Buckingham Palace after detecting an abandoned car but found nothing suspicious.
As many as 50 policemen and policewomen rushed to the scene and asked people to leave the area, according to local media reports.
The City of Westminster Police have confirmed cordons were in place and "officers were assessing a suspicious vehicle."
"Officers, including specialist officers, are assessing a suspicious vehicle in Constitution Hill, SW1," the police said on Twitter.
Later British police said the incident at Buckingham Palace has been stood down, adding that nothing suspicious was found.

Lumens was in the process of refreshing their brand and needed a redesigned email template library. Their emails weren’t responsive and left users with an incoherent mobile viewing experience.
The brand refresh had to be completed on a very tight deadline, so a lot of the work had to be done all at once. While the logo was being redesigned I worked to create the new look and feel for web materials through the email template designs
I began by creating some basic wireframes for one of our previous emails. It included all the elements from before, but allowed me to focus on how they would appear on screen sizes less than 600px wide.
The wireframes showcased the flexibility of the template’s interchangeable parts. For example, a section of individual products could be swapped with a section of designers and their accompanying biographies.
The new design portrays the love for modern design that Lumens employees and customers share. The design was encompassed by plentiful white space broken up by product imagery and minimal typography.
Before the rebrand, Lumens' website, emails, and print materials were inconsistent in look and feel; Now, they all work together. The design system I had a large part in creating ended up being the basis of all digital design for the new Lumens.

`Romeo Must Die' Review - SPOILER WARNING - by Fontaine Lien
`I know hip hop.'
At first viewing, `Romeo Must Die,' with its curious mix of patented Jet Li martial arts, Hollywood special effects and especially ineffective plotline and characterization, and non-stop hit hip hop music soundtrack, was almost too hard for me to digest. I felt guilty for enjoying this brainless popcorn film, because I knew the screenplay left much to be desired, that the action scenes showcased Li's talent but also left a lingering sense of craving for more, that Li deserved, in his first starring vehicle, a more developed character rather than the one dimensional Han Sing. And while I could figure out from the beginning most of the twists and turns of the plot, I was distracted during the movie trying to figure out each character's motives. Nevertheless, part of me was thrilled to witness part of cinematic history: an implied relationship between an Asian and an African American in a mainstream film. A small step, and a flawed one at that--because the film focuses primarily on kung fu instead of on this relationship--but a step forward nonetheless.  Less than three days later, I went back for a second helping -- and found this time the plot became clearer, the funny moments funnier, and the action scenes more compelling because I could savor each and every move without trying to take in what was happening at the same time. Yeah, I'm a girl who likes good action flicks. So sue me. And people wonder why I opted to see this instead of `Erin Brockovich.'
As elating as it was seeing Li and his team once again put on an astonishing performance, and on the big screen no less (I grew up watching Jet Li's movies on cable), as refreshing as it was witnessing an amalgamation of two cultures (re: football and kung fu) ... I sympathize with Li when he tells his fans that in this film he had no real control over the creative process, and it shows. `Romeo Must Die' is a prime example of Hollywood's attempt at packaging and selling an unfamiliar Asian legend to the mainstream audience, its attempt at establishing the film career of a young recording artist. It succeeds. Sacrificed, however, are character development, plot articulation, and artistic restraint. This film committed one of the seven deadly sins of cinema (IMO, anyway): having a constant stream of background music to speed up the pace. I do like the music (having bought the soundtrack), but there is no need to have it there eighty percent of the time. Most of the characters are cardboard cutout villains and turncoats, their lines copied from God knows how many gangster movies before. Fortunately, Aaliyah has charm and cinematic presence enough to lend believability to her role as Trish O'Dey, one of the more interesting in the batch. With time and improvement, I can definitely see her going places with this acting business. O'Dey's father Isaac is portrayed by the stern and unrelenting Delroy Lindo, an example of excellent casting. I give the filmmakers credit for masking Li's deficient language abilities by putting scenes together that highlight his boyish charm and innocence in two clashing cultures. He still seems most comfortable speaking in his native language, and it is only during the scenes with Han's father that his talent as an actor shines.
The plot is an interesting source of inner conflict for me. During the first viewing the little movie critic voice inside me kept piping up and reminding me how linear and unsurprising the plot was, how predictable. Perhaps because during the second viewing I just sat back and said, `To hell with it, I'll enjoy the movie,' the plot actually moved along at a faster pace, and what was simplistic before took on a brand new twist. These are not the twists of, say, `Fight Club' caliber, but I do indeed sense that the script tries to rise above its all-encompassing hit movie packaging courtesy of Joel Silver. Another point of debate is the wonderful action sequences, though lacking the intensity of those from `The Matrix,' which sometimes are so clearly staged that they distract us from Han's supposed sense of purpose. Again, the opponents are portrayed as mindless dummies who would rather have Han take them out one by one instead of, say, attacking him together all at once. However, I will not be one to complain about these flaws, since they are common ailments of films of this genre. Li's work is as exciting and original as usual, and only slightly hindered by the Mortal Kombat music (reminiscent of scenes from `The Matrix') and sometimes shaky camera work.
One thing I'd like to especially point out in favor of `Romeo': it is not afraid to have emotional moments. Most of these moments come from the interaction between Li and Aaliyah who have surprising chemistry together. These are two earnest actors at work, and it shows. My favorite moments--the scene on the couch after Collin dies, the dancing scene at the Casino--are a welcome respite from the tiresome `gangsters cleaning up' sequences obliged to supply the plot's linearity in between. Trish's playfulness was a perfect compliment to Han's shyness and determination. It is a shame that they did not have a chance to develop any sort of romance that was hinted of in the title, yet it is oddly appropriate and refreshing at the same time. Hint to filmmakers: not every film has to have a romance. These two would have made a good couple, though.
The last but most complex source of my ambivalent feelings toward the film is its approach regarding the ethnicity issue. Yes, it is elating to see that this movie even got made, got released, won over some audiences. We've come a long way, baby. It is saddening, however, as my friend Heather mentions, that they needed an action flick to do so. I would like to see yet another attempt at tackling the race issue, but in a more sober and more realistic film. Preferably not gang related. Thankfully, however, `Romeo' was gracefully free of many stereotypes that plague other films of the same type. This made up for a lot. I am partial indeed.
I think you might have sensed a trend in my review thus far. Watching `Romeo' was a constant psychological tug-o-war for me.  I did not expect to be touched by a platonic relationship of the most wonderful and tantalizing kind, I did not expect a smarter gangster movie than `Rush Hour.' Like `Romeo,' I was hopelessly conflicted. It's a film that almost achieves memorability yet fails because it is inevitably Hollywood in its gunpowder, war, and backstabbing betrayals. Somehow I think the film is stuck in this grey area because it can't go either way without becoming something else entirely. Jet Li's charm and agility almost achieve their full potential but do not, because Li and his team have not quite seemed to click with American production sensibilities. `Romeo' is enjoyable, but it might leave idealists and die-hard Li fans like myself with a lingering sense of disappointment. Why am I disappointed? That elusive fact is what I've spent this entire reviewing trying but failing to discover. This movie's rating is what I felt it deserved yet I hate to bestow because I needed to latch on to something much more significant in this film, and because Jet Li always lights up every movie he's in.

A simple and light interface to search for AWS Landsat-8, Sentinel-2 and CBERS-4 Public Datasets
Landsat/Sentinel/CBERS search results is powered by RemotePixel Satellite API.
Images previews are from Landsat, Sentinel and CBERS AWS Public Dataset.
This project is powered by Mapbox-GL API and the awesome vector tile technology develloped by Mapbox.
Continue reading: Blog post on RemotePixel.ca
Landsat-8 data available on AWS are in Level 1T:
Standard Terrain Correction (Level 1T) - provides systematic radiometric and geometric accuracy by incorporating ground control points while employing a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for topographic accuracy. Geodetic accuracy of the product depends on the accuracy of the ground control points and the resolution of the DEM used: Ground control points used for Level 1T correction are derived from the GLS2000 data set. DEM sources include SRTM, NED, CDED, DTED, GTOPO 30, and GIMP.Info: http://landsat.usgs.gov/
Sentinel-2 data available on AWS are in Level 1C:
Level-1C processing includes radiometric and geometric corrections including ortho-rectification and spatial registration on a global reference system with sub-pixel accuracy. Level-1C processing is broken down into the following steps: - Tiles association: selection of pre-defined tiles intersecting the footprint of the required image. - Resampling grid computation: enabling linking of the native geometry image to the target geometry image (ortho-rectified). - Resampling of each spectral band in the geometry of the ortho-image using the resampling grids and an interpolation filter. Calculation of the TOA reflectances also occurs in this step. - Masks computation: cloud and land/water masks are generated. - Imagery compression of the resultant Level-1C imagery via the JPEG2000 algorithm and a GML geographic imagery-encoded header.Info: https://sentinel.esa.int
Reflectance, often between 0 and 1, is converted into integer values, in order to preserve the dynamic range of the data by applying a fixed coefficient (1000 by default).Info: https://sentinel.esa.int
CBERS-4:
DEMO, more info soon.
Source code of the project is on GitHub.
Landsat, Sentinel and CBERS services are also open-source GitHub.

Here you will find an explanation of ROS. The open source ROS has been chosen as the software platform to enable the network structure, relying on a publisher-subscriber model to allow for inter-robot communication and coordination.
This section explores our use of hardware and computer vision algorithms in relation to localization. The role of the localization subsystem is to provide state estimates of agents to the larger system.
The MURO lab utilizes turtleBots created at Willow Garage. Turtelbots are the ground robots in our testbed. They are useful for verifying control algorithms performance on hardware.
This section explores our interest in drones. These drones or quadrotors differ from the turtleBots in that they provide relaxed dyanmic constraints, which leads to a more flexible testbed for implementing various multi-agent robotic algorithms.
Here you will find an expalnation of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping, which is otherwise known as SLAM. In short SLAM consists of a robot building of a map of its surroundings using an estimate of its location while simultaneously estimating its location using the map of its surroundings.
The MURO lab utilizes an android tablet application as a tool for human-swarm interactions. Our android application uses ROS in order to communicate each of the active robots in the multi-agent network. This section explains the different applications where the app is useful.
ORB-SLAM allows us to do what is sometimes difficult in the world of robotics - onboard localization. Read this section to find out more.


acorn2sfd
Converter from Acorn RISC/OS fonts ===================================
acorn2sfd [-version] [-help] {acorndir ...}
acorn2sfd will take several Acorn RISC/OS font directories and convert them into FontForge's sfd files.
An Acorn RISC/OS font directory should contain two or three files, one named Outlines*
and one named Intmetric?
(the Intmetrics
file may be omitted, in which case the advance widths will not be known). acorn2sfd will read both files and generate an sfd file from them (which FontForge can turn into TrueType or PostScript).
If the Outlines
file ends in a digit (Outlines0
) then a third file named Base<digit>*
will be searched for in the directory (if not found there then in <acorndir>/../Encodings
), and if found encoding information will be read from it. If not found then the font will be assumed to be an initial subset of Unicode.
-includestrokes
acorn2sfd normally throws out the secondary stroked version of the character, specifying this option will include it in the sfd file (you may then want to invoke FontForge's Expand Stroke command on it).
-help
will provide a mini description and will list the available options.
-usage
will list the available options.
-version
will display the current version of acorn2sfd (a six digit string containing the date stamp of the source files).
Bugs
- Acorn fonts use a different fill rule than either PostScript or TrueType. You should run Element->Correct Direction on the sfd file after converting it.
- Most Acorn fonts I've seen on the web are zipped up with a non-standard zip. Don't expect acorn2sfd to be able to unzip them.
- Acorn hinting data are lost.

As a Canadian and fellow countryman of director David Cronenberg's, I have always appreciated his visionary style of movie making with all the subtlety of a violent storm. Cronenberg rips into the very body of science fiction and horror and then stands back and holds its beating heart in his hand. I admire his approach to the material and the films where he has served as both director and author or co-author of the screenplays are among his best work. Cronenberg's vision is comparable to that of a mad scientist. His work is always layered with the unorthodox and sinister sides of the human soul and by this description I mean it as the highest possible compliment because after all, his intention is to scare movie audiences into a frenzy and although his films often have a sickening side to them, that's just in his nature to show it that way.
Cronenberg began his career making short films in 1966 with a little number entitled 'Transfer'. Not only did he serve as the film's writer, director, and producer, but he photographed and edited the project himself. He first gained a major following with his 1975 effort 'Shivers' and made 'Rabid' (1977), 'Fast Company' and 'The Brood', both in 1979 before the film that really would solidify him as a major film maker, 'Scanners' (1981) which was about a form of mental telepathy that could pressurize and explode human heads. That film is his most cult like and chilling statement and he would tackle Hollywood productions with 'The Dead Zone' (1983), and 'The Fly' (1986), which won an Oscar for its incredible make-up. Cronenberg's last four films before 'eXistenZ', 'Dead Ringers' (1988), 'Naked Lunch' (1991), 'M Butterfly' (1993) and 'Crash' (1996) all show his ability to get better with age and his maturity as a film maker remains intact. 'Naked Lunch' was thought to be a story impossible to film, based on the literary work of William S. Burroughs, and while I didn't like the film, I could see its art which was brought to new heights by the incredibly droning and dream like dialogue Cronenberg injected into the film. 'eXistenZ' is certainly made with the Cronenberg stamp placed on it and the film is a perfect way to usher in the new millennium as it plays on our fears and intimidating feelings about technology.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is Allegra Geller, a designer of virtual reality games who wants to test her latest invention on a focus group gathered one evening, and they see her as a god who has designed some of the best games ever made. A member of the security team named Ted Pikul (Jude Law) fails to protect her at the meeting and she's shot and pursued by her competitors who want her dead for their own agenda.
The game is called eXistenZ and it's played by plugging into a human being's bio port which is on the lower back and is sort of like an electrical outlet inserted through the area to put a hole in the spine where all data connects and draws the user into a virtual reality game where it is impossible to tell reality from all the rest. Allegra and Ted flee the shooting scene and stop on a country road to assess their situation and Allegra persuades Ted to have a bio port installed on his body and it's done at a small, by-the-road service station by a character named Gas (Willem Dafoe). Apparently, having a bio port installed is as easy as having your ears pierced and we assume that this film is set many years in the future because real life technology like this hasn't even been invented yet. Let alone the fact that a patent on such an idea would be very hard to get.
And that's where 'eXistenZ' really picks up and runs with the ball as it is an original idea done with all the wet gore you would expect from a David Cronenberg film. It's suspenseful, darkly lit, but is really for die hard Cronenberg fans who will enjoy it best. The chemistry works well between Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law and other interesting performances in the film come from Don McKellar, Ian Holm and Callum Keith Rennie with a cameo by Sarah Polley. The only thing missing is a cameo by Cronenberg himself in some small way which would have been a nice touch. The film's subject matter is a metaphor for drug use, sexual escapades and violent frustrations and Cronenberg's the sole author of the film's screenplay and calls his own shots all the way.
Not only is the film a story about virtual reality but that's exactly the way the film plays before an incredible twist comes near the end of its appropriate running time of 97 minutes. Not too short and not too long is the way a film like this should be made. By making it appeal to our attention span which would probably hold up as long as if we really were playing a game.

orIF (scalar-logical-expression) action-statement
The IF construct selects for execution at most one of its constituent blocks. The selection is based on a sequence of logical expressions.
If an if-construct-name is specified, both the IF and ENDIF must use that same name. If an ELSE or ELSEIF uses an if-construct-name it must be the same as the one specified on the corresponding IF/ENDIF.
If there is an ELSE statement in the construct it acts as a default if all the preceding conditionals on the IF or ELSEIF where false, ensuring exactly one of the blocks in the construct is executed. The scalar logical expressions are evaluated in the order of their appearance in the construct until a true value is found or an ELSE statement or ENDIF statement is encountered. IF an ELSE statement is found, the block immediately following is executed and this completes the execution of the construct. That is, an ELSE should follow any

ELSEIF statements. The scalar logical expressions in any remaining ELSEIF statements of the IF construct are not evaluated. If none of the evaluated expressions is true and there is no ELSE statement, the execution of the construct is completed without the execution of any block within the construct.
The IF statement controls the execution of a single action statement based on a single logical expression.
The action-stmt in the if-stmt shall not be an end-function-stmt, end-mp-subprogram-stmt, end-program-stmt, end-subroutine-stmt, or if-stmt.
Execution of an IF statement causes evaluation of the scalar logical expression. If the value of the expression is true, the action statement is executed. If the value is false, the action statement is not executed and execution continues.
The execution of a function reference in the scalar logical expression may affect entities in the action statement. That is, if values are changed by the functions used in the logical expressions the selected block will use those values. It is generally a bad idea to use functions changing the values, but what would you expect this to produce?

I have now started a new paragraph using the tag P tag this
is an example of using a block format an inline format is like
making something bold
1 - What a Web Page is
A web page is a text document written in a language called HTML. Web browsers read these documents, and then interpret and display them.
2 - How Coding Works
Coding happens when programmers write text in a language that a computer can understand. The computer can then follow the instructions the programmer wrote. For example, the computer might do this by making text like this:
I'm learning to code!
look like this:
I'm learning to code!
3 - Computers are Stupid
Programmers need to write exactly the way a computer understands (also known as writing with correct "syntax").
For example, if you forget to close a tag, the computer won't be able to figure out what you had intended to make bold. This "stupidity" can be very frustrating, but it also gives programmers incredible power: if you know how to talk to a computer than you can tell it to do anything you want.
4 - Programmers Can't Remember Everything
There are too many details to keep everything in your head. And that's okay. If you forget how to make text italic in HTML, you can always just look it up.
5 - Basic HTML Vocabulary
You will be using HTML in the next few lessons
Tag: An HTML tag is always contained within angled brackets. Most tags have an opening tag (< p> for example) and a closing tag, (< /p>). Some tags (called "void" tags) do not require a closing tag (like the
tag).
Element: An HTML element refers to everything within a set of opening and closing tags.
Attribute: This is a property of an HTML element. For example, to set the href attribute of an anchor tag to the Udacity URL, you would write < a href=""www.udacity.com">Link click< /a>


Ballarat's Trent Bunney denied bail, accused of crashing stolen ute
by Alex FordA man who was only released from prison two weeks ago is now on remand after he was denied bail for allegedly crashing a stolen ute.
Trent Bunney, 27, appeared at the Ballarat Magistrates' Court on Monday, representing himself from the dock.
The court was told Bunney was arrested after police followed grind marks on the road from a crash in Sebastopol on Saturday - a parked four-wheel-drive was left with "extensive damage" and had moved about five metres.
Witnesses said they saw the ute drifting onto the centre median before hitting the parked car and losing its front left wheel, then driving off.
Police arrived at a Sebastopol address to find Bunney and a co-accused allegedly attempting to attach a new wheel to the ute.
Two different number plates, also allegedly stolen, were found in the back.
Bunney's jacket was searched, and police allege they found nine Xanax pills and a "modified torch", which could act like a Taser.
The informant, Senior Constable Rory Mitchell, told the court Bunney had just served a 22-month sentence for similar offences, and had a history of serious offending.
"(He) immediately returned to his offending ways," he said.
Bunney challenged Senior Constable Mitchell to provide any evidence of him being in the car.

He also asked if there was any forensic evidence - a search had not yet been completed - and why there was no police interview recorded - Senior Constable Mitchell replied Bunney was incoherent at the time of his arrest.
Bunney told the court he had not been involved in any offending since his release, and had been concentrating on the Reconnect program.
"That's the first time I've had help in the community, it's helping me with my mental health," he said.
Magistrate Gregory Robinson said Bunney presented an unacceptable risk to the community.
"Given the motor vehicle theft and accident and drug use, by themselves they are sufficient," he said.
"The circumstantial evidence is strong that you were in the stolen vehicle at the time of the accident and then drove off."
Bunney will appear again on November 25.

 In the shared snapshot, the fitness model, trainer, and registered nurse is posing in a black bodysuit with tiny blue shorts that seem to have been pulled down to reveal the curve of her baby bump. The bodysuit features an underwire bra with lace trim and a striped, partially sheer panel around the midsection. The sides of the garment are lacy and slightly see-through as well.
 Her pin-straight blond hair is down and falls well past her shoulders, and she has one hand placed on her hip as she strikes a sassy, seductive pose.
In the caption, Lauren revealed that her outfit is from fashion retailer Pretty Little Thing. While she didn’t reveal the name of the design, it looks like the mom-to-be is wearing their “Shape Black Lace Mesh Stripe Bodysuit” which retails for around $23 on their website. Besides the black version that Lauren is wearing, it is also available in red, dusty pink, white, light green, and beige.
In the comments section, several fans voiced their approval for the photo.
“Finest pregnant woman I have ever seen,” one fan wrote before adding a heart-eye emoji to their comment.
“U look gorgeous,” another admirer added.
“Wow you look absolutely stunning,” a third person gushed.
Others shared their congratulations.
“I absolutely love your post, congrats on your bundle of joy coming…… Many blessings,” a fourth commenter wrote.
This is hardly the first time that Lauren has made pregnancy look sexy. In a previous post, she showed off her bump in a gold slip dress that’s similar to an outfit she showed off on Instagram before she was pregnant. Lauren posted the previous photo next to the present one and asked her fans to spot the difference.
Loading...
In the comments section, more than one commenter said that she looked just as stunning as she did before, and others wrote that she looks better now that she’s pregnant.
The post has accumulated over 55,000 likes and close to 800 comments since it was posted a day ago.
In an Instagram post from three days ago, Lauren revealed that she’s eight months pregnant while she posed in a fitted red evening gown with a voluminous train.
“Celebrating 32 weeks and trying to embrace the beauty of pregnancy!” she wrote in the caption. “7-8 weeks left!”

Manchester City vs Shakhar Donetsk: Where to Watch, Live Stream, Kick Off Time & Team News
by Kaya KaynakManchester City can guarantee their progress into the next round of the Champions League with a victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at the Etihad on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola's side currently sit five points clear of second placed Shakhtar at the top of Group C despite having to put Kyle Walker in goal during their 1-1 draw with Atalanta last time out.
They have had a mixed start to the Premier League season, currently sitting third, nine points off leaders Liverpool, but advancing in Europe would definitely be a morale boost.
Although they'll be favourites to do that on Tuesday, Shakhtar are no minnows, and City will have to be at their best to overcome the team with a 13 point lead at the top of Ukrainian Premier League.
Where to Watch
| When Is Kick Off? | Tuesday 26th November |
| What Time Is Kick Off? | 20:00 (BST) |
| Where Is it Played? | Etihad Stadium |
| TV Channel/Live Stream? | BT Sport 3 |
| Referee? | Slavko Vinčić |
Team News
All three of Manchester City's substitutions in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Chelsea were forced by injury, meaning Pep Guardiola's lengthy injury list is set to expand.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager said that the injury to Sergio Aguero was 'bad', and hinted that the Argentinian could face a lengthy spell out, while David Silva and Rodri also picked up muscle problems during the game.
They join Oleksandr Zinchenko, Leroy Sané and Aymeric Laporte in the treatment room, while Claudio Bravo is suspended for the red card he picked up against Atalanta. Bernardo Silva is available though after serving his suspension for a tweet relating to Benjamin Mendy.
Despite their impressive domestic form, the visitors have long term injuries of their own to the likes of Andrii Totovytski, Maksym Malyshev, Oleksandr Pikhalionok and Manor Solomon.
They will also be without key forward Marlos who will miss the game due to suspension. Midfielder Alan Patrick is also suspended.
Head-to-Head Record
Three things have been certain in recent years; death, taxes and Manchester City playing Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League group stages. This is the third season in a row that the two have drawn each other.
City won the two games last year 9-0 on aggregate (3-0 away and 6-0 at home), and have already racked up a 3-0 victory in Ukraine this time around.
Shakhtar did beat the Pep Guardiola side that claimed 100 points in the Premier League 2-1 back in 2017, showing that the English champions can't allow themselves to get too comfortable.
Recent Form
Liverpool's ridiculously consistent start to the season means that City find themselves nine points behind the European champions already in the Premier League.
Saturday's victory over Chelsea was their fourth in five games and they'll need to keep up that sort of form if they have any hope of retaining their domestic crown.
Shakhtar meanwhile sit 13 points clear already at the top of the Ukrainian league, which they have won for the past three seasons in a row.
They played out two thrilling draws with Dynamo Zagreb to give themselves a good chance of qualifying for the next round of the Champions League, but an unexpected win in Manchester would even more beneficial.
Here's how the two have fared in the last five matches...
| Manchester City | Shakhtar |
| Manchester City 2-1 Chelsea (23/11) | Shakhtar 4-1 Lviv (22/11) |
| Liverpool 3-1 Manchester City (10/11) | Shakhtar 1-0 Dynamo Kyiv (10/11) |
| Atalanta 1-1 Manchester City (6/11) | Dynamo Zagreb 3-3 Shakhtar (6/11) |
| Manchester City 2-1 Southampton (2/11) | Karpaty 0-3 Shakhtar (2/11) |
| Manchester City 3-1 Southampton (29/10) | Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 Shakhtar (30/10) |
Prediction
Despite a lengthy injury list Manchester City will be firm favourites to secure a comfortable home victory.
Their strength in depth means they're well equipped to deal with problems in any position, and they should be too strong for Shakhtar.
Prediction: Manchester 3-0 Shakhtar Donetsk


MEN IN BLACK A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1997 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 7.5 Alternative Scale: *** out of ****
United States, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 7/2/97 (wide) Running Length: 1:35 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Violence, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith, Linda Fiorentino, Rip Torn, Vincent D'Onofrio, Tony Shalhoub Director: Barry Sonnenfeld Producers: Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald Screenplay: Ed Solomon based on the comic book by Lowell Cunningham Cinematography: Donald Peterman Music: Danny Elfman U.S. Distributor: Columbia Pictures
Have you ever seen a tabloid headline like this: "Woman gives birth to son of six-headed alien"? MEN IN BLACK, the new science fiction comedy from cinematographer-turned-director Barry Sonnenfeld (GET SHORTY), postulates that such stories are not the result of fertile imaginations, but accurate representations of the truth. You see, ever since the 1960s, Earth has become an intergalactic hideout for aliens in need of a place to lie low for a while. Currently, there are over 1500 visitors, most in New York City (based on personal experience, that number may be low), and their ranks include such high-profile names as Sylvester Stallone (he obviously had trouble mastering the language), Newt Gengrich (guess what he looks like in his natural form), and Dennis Rodman (who knew?).
MEN IN BLACK is Will Smith's second consecutive motion picture close encounter of the third kind. Here, instead of engaging in ship- to-ship dogfights with creatures ripped off from ALIEN, he's using Series 4 De-atomizers to blast giant cockroaches. As Jay, he's the latest recruit of the ultra-secret sixth division of the INS (the "Men in Black" of the title) -- a group of government workers in charge of licensing and regulating the presence of non-Earthborn aliens. His partner, Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), is a venerable agent who knows the ropes and is willing to give lessons. Together, the pair go in search of an intergalactic assassin (played in human form by Vincent D'Onofrio) whose unauthorized activities on Earth could result in the planet's destruction.
In many ways, MEN IN BLACK is the movie that MARS ATTACKS! wanted to be, but wasn't. This is a snappy, clever, often-funny motion picture that provides the perfect blend of science fiction-style action with comic dialogue. The screenplay, credited to Ed Solomon (and based on the Marvel comic book by Lowell Cunningham) has a sly, sophisticated edge that many blockbuster scripts lack. Sonnenfeld's direction is crisp and the editing is tight, resulting in a film that clocks in at a mere ninety-five minutes, which proves to be a nearly-perfect length.
That's not to say that the movie is of masterpiece status, or even light on flaws. There are plenty of minor problems along the way, and the ending is somewhat rushed and anticlimactic. On the whole, however, viewers are less likely to remember the glitches than the clever one- liners, subtle parodies, and effective use of visual effects to integrate aliens into everyday existence. MEN IN BLACK's deliciously unconventional spirit lends a refreshing twist to a premise that has fueled numerous conspiracy theory movies and one currently-popular television series.
The chief pleasure of MEN IN BLACK isn't being dazzled by the special effects, but enjoying the deadpan performances of Tommy Lee Jones (whose offhand attitude towards the most bizarre events would make Jack Webb proud) and Will Smith. This is a rare case when the multi- million dollar, computer-generated creatures don't upstage their real- life co-stars. Smith and Jones are a fine pair, and the film's focus on them never wavers. However, while the two leads can't complain about screen-time, the supporting players have all been short-changed. Linda Fiorentino, who gets third billing, is vastly underused, appearing only peripherally throughout. Vincent D'Onofrio (as the bad alien's human host) and Rip Torn (as Zed, the leader of the Men in Black) don't fare much better.
A word of caution for those who expect to see INDEPENDENCE DAY 2: despite the attempts of certain marketing campaigns to link the two, they're vastly different in scope and intent. MEN IN BLACK is an outright comedy (in fact, some of its satire is directed at movies like last year's box office champ), not a pastiche of worn sci-fi/adventure elements, and there's no big space battle to be found. In fact, from the opening credits to the closing ones, our heroes stay firmly rooted on terra firma. Those accepting MEN IN BLACK for what it is will likely agree that this is one of 1997's more satisfying big-budget offerings.

This proposal is to create a package of Java utility classes for the encoding/decoding of various types of data. A base64 codec will be the first implementation.
Codec relies only on standard JDK 1.2 (or later) APIs for production deployment. It utilizes the JUnit unit testing framework for developing and executing unit tests, but this is of interest only to developers of the component. Codec will be a dependency for several existing components in the open source world.
No external configuration files are utilized.
The original Java classes (Base64
, etc.) are splashed around
various Apache subprojects. We intend to seek them out and integrate them.
The proposed package name for the new component is
org.apache.commons.codec
.

jakarta-commons
CVS repository.

Long Island moms push for banners to honor military veterans
by Stacey SagerBABYLON, Long Island (WABC) -- Two moms from Long Island with teenage sons in the military are campaigning for their town to go public with their salute to those serving.
Jeanine Walther and Carolyn Mormino are trying to get banners displayed through the Town of Babylon in Suffolk County with the names and faces of locals serving in the military.
The town has 10 different hamlets and no shortage of patriotism, but Walther --whose 19-year-old son Travis is in the U.S Navy -- was inspired when she passed through the town of Jim Thorpe, one of several communities in Pennsylvania now lining their streets with banners showing photos of their hometown military heroes, past and present.
"My heart just swelled with pride," she said. "I felt nostalgic. I felt a longing for my son to be back home."
And so she and others began to feel out the idea on Facebook.
"Overwhelming support, people wanted to know how they could get a banner of their child," Mormino said.
And it turned out there was at least one Long Island community with these banners already. Lynbrook Village started its veterans banners program last year, and Mayor Alan Beach said he first saw them upstate in Troy.
"And the orders just keep coming," he said. "It's really very impressive, just what I was hoping for."
Babylon Town officials say they're on board, though they still need to iron out the details.
"In New York state, we have the greatest concentration of veterans here on Long Island," Council member Jackie Gordon said.
In Lynbrook, residents who want their veterans on a banner pay $175 apiece. That includes the mayor, whose father-in-law and dad share a pole.
"You know, my dad walked across Europe," Beach said. "So it means a lot."
It's a comfort, he says, but also gratitude for service and sacrifice.
Channel 7 is proud to be the home for the New York City Veterans Day Parade. Watch it live Monday at noon.


Competition for foldable smartphone market in China heating up
by Lena Li, Shanghai; Steve Shen, DIGITIMESThe competition in China's foldable smartphone market is heading up after Huawei officially released its first foldable model, Mate X, in China on November 15, one week after Samsung Electronics began selling its Galaxy Fold there on November 8.
Initial sales of the Galaxy Fold in China have been successful, said market observers, noting that quotas of the model available for sale on a number of online platforms, including Samsung's own official website, JD.com, Tmall.com, as well as a flagship shop jointly operated by Suning and Samsung, were sold out on Double 11.
Encouraged by brisk overseas sales, including in China, Samsung reportedly plans to ramp up by 10-fold its foldable smartphone production in 2020 as compared to those rolled out in 2019, the observers said.
Huawei's Mate X comes behind its schedule as the vendor made a last-ditch effort to revamp the software configuration and hardware specifications for the model including its camera design prior to its scheduled launch, said the watchers.
Meanwhile, Xiaomi is applying for a number of patents for its forthcoming foldable model, known as Mix Alpha, which will come with an out-folding design and a five-lens camera, said the sources, citing information available at China's National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA).

The Arduino IDE is a really good starting environment but I was looking for something a bit more flexible. Atmel studio is built for AVR chips but the environment obscures a lot of the process and adding an Ardunio library prevents the IDE from properly building the binary and working out how to fix the build was just too much of a hassle. This configuration allows the use of other environments besides the Ardunio IDE such as Vscode and Clion. Scons is a build system centered around python and can be easily configured to produce the correct binaries for AVR using avr-gcc, avr-g++, and avr-objcopy. The basic process is to compile the source using the avr-g++, avr-gcc and then converting the compiled object files to ihex. The build process can also produce the necessary .hex files that can be flashed with Mplab IPE or avrdude.
The scons build is split up into two sections. setting up the AVR environment and then building the final hex file. Any additional libraries are just submodules in the 3rdparty folder. this first part sets up the environment along with the correct build configurations such as the avr compiler and the processor that this source will compile to. Device
is set to whatever the associated device that will be compiled for. CPU_FREQUENCY
will define the frequency that the processor is configured for. The actual frequency is defined by the fuse bits that will have to be set.
env = Environment()
# Set environment for AVR-GCC.
env['CC'] = 'avr-gcc'
env['CXX'] = 'avr-g++'
env['AS'] = 'avr-gcc'
env['CPPPATH'] = ['/usr/avr/include/', 'build']
env['OBJCOPY'] = 'avr-objcopy'
env['SIZE'] = 'avr-size'
env.Append(CCFLAGS = '-Os -Wall -Werror -flto')
# Declare some variables about microcontroller.
# Microcontroller type.
DEVICE = 'atmega328'
# Microcontroller frequency.
CPU_FREQUENCY = '8000000UL' # Hz
# Set environment for an Atmel AVR Atmega 328p microcontroller.
# Create and initialize the environment.
env.Append(CCFLAGS = '-mmcu=' + DEVICE)
env.Append(LINKFLAGS = '-mmcu=' + DEVICE)
env.Append(LINKFLAGS = '-Wl,-u,vfprintf -lprintf_min')
env.Append(LINKFLAGS = '-lm')
env.Append(CPPDEFINES = 'F_CPU=' + CPU_FREQUENCY)
The second section after this is just compiling the necessary code. In this case I’m using Minicore along with the Wire library and SD card library. the basic process is just to include all the necessary source files and defined the correct header locations. I could of separated Minicore into a static library along with the other libraries and link that separately but the compile times are so quick that it’s not really necessary. its fairly easy to include other submodules and modify the build with other libraries.
Define target name.
TARGET = 'build/main'
# Define source file.
env.Append(CPPPATH=[
'src',
'3rdparty/MiniCore/avr/cores/MCUdude_corefiles/',
'3rdparty/MiniCore/avr/libraries/Wire/src/',
'3rdparty/MiniCore/avr/libraries/SPI/src/',
'3rdparty/SD/src/',
'3rdparty/MiniCore/avr/variants/standard'])
wiring_pulse = env.Object(
target = '3rdparty/MiniCore/avr/cores/MCUdude_corefiles/wiring_pulse_1.o',
source = '3rdparty/MiniCore/avr/cores/MCUdude_corefiles/wiring_pulse.S')

# Build the program.

public interface StackAction
An interface that can be implemented in order to get notifications of objects being pushed onto a digester stack or popped from one.
Because objects are pushed onto the main object stack when a rule has created a new object, this gives the ability to intercept such operations and perform modifications on created objects.
One use expected for this interface is to store information about the xml line that a particular object was created from. An implementation of this interface can detect whenever an object is pushed onto the digester object stack, call Digester.getDocumentLocator() to get the location within the current xml file, and store this either on the object on the stack (if it supports some user-specific interface for this purpose), or build a map of (object->locationinfo) separately.
It is recommended that objects implementing this interface provide a method to set a "next" action, and invoke it from the callback methods. This allows multiple actions to be "chained" together.
See also Digester.setStackAction.

Visualisation Audiences
For my part, I feel that we need to create something visually engaging and relatively immersive for the website, not only for academic interest and the raising of new research questions, but also because of the other audience we are aiming to draw into our work – the general public.
At the National Archaeology day back in June, I spoke with a number of people about our conflicting ideas for 3D visualisations of medieval Swansea, providing them with the above examples of the two different directions we could go in (the first a quick sketch produced in the Department of Digital Humanities and King's College London, the second a highly-rendered, photo-realistic image produced by Lorenzo Caravaggi, a BA History student at Birkbeck).
On the one hand the grey boxes do not pretend to be anything other than place holders for where building would most likely have lined streets. However, even in their very absence of detail there are inherent problems with this approach. Firstly, the plain boxes suggest we do not know what the faces of the buildings would have looked like, but they do require height and depth, and these are just as unknown to us as the finer details of the outer appearance. Secondly, they can be seen as a stylised representation, a modern, minimalist interpretation of the town, which is just as problematic in its anachronistic overtones as playfully adding wooden beams to the outside of the buildings.
The alternative suggestion has been to provide something along the lines of the second picture above, with a more detailed rendering of the building, but one that is necessarily based upon speculation and what documentary evidence there is. Studying receivers accounts for Swansea in the thirteenth and fourteenth century has led to snippets of information from which we can begin this process of reconstruction. For example, there were two buildings near the bridge over the ditch between the castle and town. Between these two structures there were eight individual rentals: two cellars, four shops and two apartments over the shops. From snapshots such as this, we can then build up our knowledge of Swansea’s layout: in this case, there were shops with living accommodation above at the top end of the town nearest the castle. So for the purposes of our visualisation, we need to populate this area with two storey buildings with shops on the ground floor.
Interestingly, the majority of the public I spoke to at the museum in Swansea were far more drawn to this second representation of their city, and indeed were disappointed that I only had static shots to show them at this stage. One or two of the other exhibitors on the day who had a more informed and academic position on the subject pointed out that although they found it easy enough to engage with the grey boxes, an inhabitant of Swansea or a tourist coming to this for the first time may find the second option more immediately accessible.
Ultimately, in resolving this matter, I think it comes down to the question of who our intended audience is. With the detailed GIS maps and the edited Latin text available on the site, our academic readers will (hopefully) be well catered for. Perhaps then we need something more immediately captivating and immersive with which to draw a wider audience into the project’s aims and objectives, from which they can then go on to explore in more detail the maps and story surrounding the hanged man William Cragh.

What new things you have learned about yourself and your ego as a result of the core learning?
I've learnt that to think like a developer, is to understand that problem solving is the most imortant aspect in developing as a programmer. But it is also to have a clear mind and idea of how to approach situations, tech or not. Throughout the course of my learning, I've discovered whenever I come to a hault in my learning I tend to feel uncapable and as a result I would over complicate my task.
-
What are the role of values, empathy and self awareness in learning and programming?
Being more aware of your mindset towards your learning experience may enable to undertsnad, empathise and be aware of others, in a working environment.
-
What has surprised you the most about the core learning?
From what I've learnt in my core learning is that these are some aspects I've heard from personal experiences. I was able to realize things I had to improve on individually. While I still struggle to implement this.
-
What were the most challenging aspects of the core learning?
Trying to understand myself might have been the most challenging. Coming into Foundations, I never would have guessed that mental health is one of, if not the most important aspect in web development. But I found it difficult to show it. Throughout core learning I gradually started to realise, I may not know mysefl as well as I thought.
-
Why do you think we, a programming school, are spending so much time focusing on core learning in a web development bootcamp course?
From understanding growth mindset. A successful working enrionment is having a solid foundation, undertsnading your own core skills may lead to a better understanding of empathy and chemistry with other groups, building us as more knowledgeable employees.


At this point you might wonder why you’re reading this page. Why should you understand bits and bytes? How can you benefit from this knowledge when programming in higher level languages?
Imagine we’re building a web application that needs data from a webserver. The conventional communication format is JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Let’s say we’re sending an array of 8 random integers ranging from 0 to 255:
[
10,
240,
106,
236,
244,
226,
139,
30
]
Because the data is sent as a string with a specific format, we’ll need 8 bits per character, assuming it’s UTF-8 encoded. Ignoring whitespace, above JSON string is 31 characters, making it 248 bits.
We can send the exact same data in binary, but way more efficient. Instead of returning a formatted string, because that’s what JSON is, we can send the data as one binary blob. For numbers ranging from 0 to 255, we still need 8 bits to represent each. Because each number has a fixed bit length, we can just concatinate them. The complete blob will be 64 bits long, saving just under 75% of data!
00001010 // 10
11110000 // 240
01101010 // 106
11101100 // 236
11110100 // 244
11100010 // 226
10001011 // 139
00011110 // 30
The strength of JSON isn’t size, but flexibility. Because it’s a formatted string, it’s length and contents is irrelevant. The strength of binary is it’s size. It all depends on your use-case, but a 75% reduction of bandwidth is worth considering.


Why functional programming?
As developers we want to write robust and correct code. This is our ultimate goal.
To reach this goal, we write tests that assure us of the correct behaviour of our code.
To make code testable, we define code in isolated units, that are also tested in isolation.
Dependencies between units should soley be described through dependency injection. A unit describes on what units it depends. If unit C depends on unit A and B, and A and B are tested to function correctly, then if we test unit C then we can be assured that A and B won't cause tests to fail suddenly as we know how A and B behave. This way of thinking is what we call unit testing and is one of the most important parts of Test Driven Development.
So what if we would limit a language to only be able to define units that can only depend on behaviour of well-functioning other units? So that it's output (its behaviour) is soley dependend on its input?
Well in mathematics we have a concept called functions. Here have one $ f(x) = 3x$. I'm sure you've used them in high school. Behaviour of functions is fully dependent on its input.. $f(5)$ will always yield $15$. No matter how many times you call it. If we compose functions, then one function is dependent on the behaviour of another function. Say we have $g(x) = x+2$ then $f(g(x))$ is $f$ with as input the behaviour of $g$. and because we know the behaviour of $g$ is well-defined, we know that $f$ well defned as well. $f(g(5))$ will always yield $21$, not matter how much you call it.
In mathematics, a function is a relation between a set of inputs and a set of permissible outputs with the property that each input is related to exactly one output.
So basically a function is exactly the definition of a unit and nothing more. It encapsulates exactly what we expect a unit to be. And this forms the basis of functional programming.
In functional programming, our programs are soley composed of functions, and nothing else. And this has a very powerful consequence. It means our code is unit-testable by default, because functions are exactly what makes a unit a unit.
Well-testable and well-tested software is easier to refactor, extend, and to trace back bugs in. This makes functional languages a great tool for robust software with an easy development cycle.

Manga for little children. It covers very simple themes and stories you'd expect for children under 7 with cute art and very simple language.
Aimed at girls of about 7-14 years. Shoujo stories often feature romance and highly emotional stories. The art style is cute, soft and elegant, featuring fine lines and lots of patterned screentones.
Shounen manga got dynamic art, spiky hairdos, overblown fights, busty women, ninjas, ghosts, monsters, robots etc.
They usually cover stories about romance and heartbreak. The art tends to be beautiful and elegant, but less frilly and sparkly than shoujo.
Aimed at men, teens and up. This is one of the weirdest categories due to breadth, since it covers both the ordinary casual adult male reader, but also the creepy hardcore Otaku.
Self published, bara, moe and 18+ manga

We propose a procedure for sample size calculation while controlling false discovery rate for RNA-seq experimental design. Our procedure depends on the Voom method proposed for RNA-seq data analysis by Law et al. (2014) <doi:10.1186/gb-2014-15-2-r29> and the sample size calculation method proposed for microarray experiments by Liu and Hwang (2007) <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btl664>. We develop a set of functions that calculates appropriate sample sizes for two-sample t-test for RNA-seq experiments with fixed or varied set of parameters. The outputs also contain a plot of power versus sample size, a table of power at different sample sizes, and a table of critical test values at different sample sizes. To install this package, please use 'source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R"); biocLite("ssizeRNA")'.
