AT 60, DRUGSTORE
STILL SELLS DRUGS

Lascoff's, With Brisk Trade

By GAY TALESE
Within a serene brownstone.
on Lexington Avenue, on the.
corner of Eighty-second Street,
a 59-year-old pharmacist named
Frederick D. Lascoff has spe-
cialized for years in selling
leeches to battered prize-fight-
ers, catnip oil to lion hunters
and thousands of strange po-
tions to people in exotic places
around the world.
The Lascoff drugstore, which
celebrated its sixtieth anniver-
sary last week, is a Gothic-
styled apothecary shop whose
walls are lined with more than
50,000 bottles containing every-
thing from Acacia to zinc.
It should not be inferred from
the foregoing that Mr. Lascoff's
apothecary shop carries only
rare herbs and weird pills; far
from it. the bulk of its business
comes from standard prescrip-
tions. But through the years J.
Leon Lascoff & Son has made a
reputation for producing bi-
zarre concotions when re-
quested.
Fighters Steady Customers
Prize-fighters wishing to have
blood sucked from their facial
wounds have been some of Mr.
Lascoff's steadiest customers.
And when the African explorer
Martin Johnson was off to
hunt lions, he first equipped
himself with catnnip oil from the
druggist.
But one of the most unusual
requests came from another
drugstore owner, who once
wrote Mr. Lascoff to ask: "Can
you please tell me what I can
do to make my drugstore smell
like a drug store?" Seems
that food odors in his establish-
ment overpowered the desirable
"drugstore smell."
Soon Mr. Lascoff evolved a
formula of phenol, valerian,
asafetida and iodoform; and,
sure enough, it gave forth a
drugstore scent.
The Lascoff establishment
never has needed such a for-
mula, because it has long had
a ban in foods, soda fountains
and other un-pharmaceutical
items common in many drug-
stores. Its two-sstory. main
chamber is void of jukeboxes,
pay telephones, cigarettes, pa-
perback novels and comic books.
J. Leon Lascoff & Son was
founded a couple of blocks away
from its present site by the
elder Lascoff, who died in 1943.
Dr. J. Leon Lascoff,
born in Russia, arrived in the United
States in a Prince Albert coat
and silk hat and took a job in
a drugstore at $2 an hour.
Among other things, he washed
windows.
Firm Founded in 1899
He started his own firm in
1899, a year before the birth
of his son, the present owner,
Dr. Frederick D. Lascoff. The
latter also has a son, Fred Jr.,
22 years old, now working in
the apothecary and making con-
siderably more as an appren-
tice than his ancestores--without
washing windows.
While this is not one of New
York's oldest drugstores (it is
debatable which is), the J. Leon
Lascoff firm has an interna-
tional trade that includes royal-
ty, the rich, and far-flung hos-
pitals.
It moved to its present spot
on Eighty-second Street in 1931
--on ground that formerly was
a saloon. This seems strangely
fitting, because all during Pro-
hibition a familiar slogan was:
"Old little gin mill don't you
cry,
You'll be a drugstore by and
by."
FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES: Empty whisky bottle,
a memento of Prohibition days, stands on a shelf at the
Lascoff Drugstore on upper Lexington Avenue. The label
indicates that the prescription--required in those times--
called for four daily doses of two teaspoonfuls each.
This article is about the 60th anniversary of a drugstore named "Lascoff Drugs" and the ways it has kept its business strong. This is a link to the annotated Markdown page that transcribes the article and includes an image of the article as it appearned in the New York Times.

extruded aluminum structural materials, mirror panes,
polycarbonate panes approx. 320 sq. ft.
Our sculpture established several bodies in conversation with the guests who entered the space. The security camera was mounted on a tripod with focus on the entrance of the gallery, it was to be the first thing guests saw when they entered the space. Cords ran from the camera to the router and more cords connected the router to the computer. The projector was also connected to the computer. The mannequin stood several feet away from the aforementioned materials and behind it stood a box of similar height (~5 feet). In the box, the three internal faces were mirrored and the fourth wall allowed for guests to examine the inside of the box through a head-shaped hole cut in a pane of polycarbonate. Mapping software was used to project onto the head of the mannequin.
To the guests, as they entered the space it appeared that the camera recorded their faces and projected them on to the mannequin. Upon closer examination our guests found that their faces were distorted and intermingled with the faces of other guests in the space. A concealed microphone and speaker distorted the voices of the guests based on proximity, giving presence to the mannequin body.
We created two modes of feeling; 1) the self as many and 2) many as the self. Our work does this by presenting our guests with two presentations of themselves, the first being what appears to be their features on an unidentifiable figure (the mannequin) and the second being the infinite population of themselves that is observed when looking within the mirrored structure. In this we held community and gave physical presence to what seems like our collective decision as a society to throw away privacy.

Archstorming African House Design Competition, 2020
Team: Jono Coles, Freesoul-Kofi El Shabazz-Thompson, Alex Hren, Nick Lazzaro
"Tanzania suffers from a terrible shortage of good quality and affordable housing." This project aims to generate a space that not only facilitates comfort and stability for the Jorejick family, but also demonstrably rethinks the role of local natural resources, potentially invigorating those industries. The design is inspired by the Iraqw conceptual pillar of harmony, which directly influences our decision to pursue a partially earthen home [as in the traditional building style]. Paired with designing for scalability and local low-tech manufacturing, the Jorejick Earth-House program achieves harmony in form and mode for not only the family, but also the community.
For example, choosing to pursue clay roof tiles over corrugated metal affords greater thermal and acoustic performance, and supports local industry as opposed to purchasing materials outside of the community. Using bamboo over sawn timber garners similar long term communal benefits.  The Earth-House keeps the bedrooms cool, and situates the structural foundations for play and relaxation on the tree-shaded terrace. The overall program emphasizes circulation by balancing the potential use cases of each space with the logistic demands required to establish that space, as figured in the Proximity Matrix below.
Keeping in mind children and elders, the composting latrines and showers are close to the bedrooms—however, removed enough as not to infringe on the logistics of water collection and transportation. The importance of livestock and animals to the Jorejick family is maintained by ensuring the cattle area is viewable from main social spaces, and a more intimate “animal porch” is included adjacent to the living room. Flow from the living room through the entry crescendos transitioning into the oculus, which unites family and public spaces with a ring of sunlight at high noon. Moving from entry to indoor kitchen, to outdoor kitchen and finally to the gathering space accommodates the social nature of food preparation and sharing.
The zenith of the Jorejick Earth-House is a demonstration of harmony, both in form and mode. By using on-site materials and in-house/local manufacturing the majority of the budget flows into the community via wages for laborers. In doing this, the design accomplishes a comfortable living size without sacrificing innovation and the harmony of the community.

2020 Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit, 2020
The theme of the summit this year was 1619-2020 Decolonize Our
Histories to Reclaim Our Humanity. I went outside and took a
picture of the sky, but that wasn't so pretty so I found a free
image online and used that for the background. The pattern of
circles is an overlay of the motion of stars surrounding a
black hole, the ultimate event horizon. I really dislike didatic
and representative illustrations (unless it's a presentation or
something like that), so in the pattern my aim was to
communicate an experience of form, that we, much like the
stars, are approaching an inevitable event horizon which
calls us to decolonize our histories. I provided two front
and back variations.

Cattle Tech, 2018-19
Our client, Raitong Organics, presented the following situations: 1) Cattle wander onto roads where they cannot be seen, thus endangering themselves and drivers.
2) Cattle herding conventions provide the opportunity for cows to feed on other farmers crops, which is property damage.
Our solution needed to be low cost, easily manufacturable/repariable, and accessible to the older generation of Thai farmers.
We increased cattle visibility with a hi-vis collar, and created an open source system for tetherless containment of cattle using Long Range Radios.
My role on the team was hardware lead as well as being a part of the software and visibility design teams.
This project is scheduled to resume in winter 2019 with a new team.
Our research, design propositions, design summary and initial testing can be found here:

Part of our manufacturing capstone is a course that focuses on computer integrated manufacturing, specifically applied to the injection molding process.
Our project for the course was to interpret a sketch provided by a local gradeschooler and to use our CAD skills to brings said sketch to life as a toy.
In order to produce the toy we furthered our CAM skills and used Haas routers to mill molds. Using the department injection molding machine we produced a run of the product.

Rel8Ball, 2017
The Rel8ball project is an exercise in ux/ui design that draws upon product design skills as well.
Our goal was to develop a product/service that would promote mental health conversations.
We imagined a tool for connecting with others--that made having tough conversations easier.
Our theoretical landscape for this product was that of a counselor or therapists office in which new patients tend to feel nervous about opening up.
We also imagined a game played among friends.
The product interfaces with the users smart phone: the user goes to shakeeee.github.io and inserts their phone into the handheld.
The code uses the phones accelerometer/gyroscope in order to trigger a random question or prompt from an uploaded library.
Currently there's only one library, but future iterations could have libraries relating to relationships or pressures from school/work etc.
In practice the app works like a magic 8 ball, from which it gets it's design and name.
My role on the team was software lead (this was my first time trying web dev stuff, so I learned a lot).

Bionic Wrench, 2019
The Bionic Wrench was developed by Loggerhead Tools/Prof. Dan Brown whom I studied under.
The case study focuses on the design for assembly and design for manufacturing processes.
Our task was to create assembly jigs and methodology that could theoretically be used in Prof. Browns factories without any knowledge as to how his system works.
The unique situation and challenge of pursuing a design direction adjacent to an existing product required thorough teamwork, heavy leaning into rapid prototyping techniques and expert consultation.
The process opened my eyes to the complexities of real-world manufacturing and excited my intuition for working within an intersection of design constraints.
In the end our team was very successful, developing a jig and system capable of completing 8 wrenches in 20 minutes, just shy of the record for the class.

Snap Key, 2016
The Snap Key was very much my introduction to the design process. This was the project that lead to my saying "I've been doing this my whole life" about 'design', when I was 18 years old.
Our assignment was simple, we were to solve a problem that we all had.
My team consisted of very active types, so it's natural that we gravitated towards that arena.
Our product, the SnapKey offers runners the option to securely carry a single key with them while on runs, rather than using one of the 30+ unreliable work-arounds we observed in research.
I produced a video demo of the product, and images along with the final report can be found here: snapkey.zip

The graph depicts the rise of social media and the increase in the rate of major depressive episodes. The red line shows the percentage of social media usage throughout the years. The bar graphs show the increase of major depressive episodes through the years 2005-2017. The green bar graph represents the increase for the age group of 12-17. The blue bar graph represents the increase for the age group of 18-25.
Social media plays a role in the increase of depression throughout the years. The rise of social media can be one cause for a rise in the percent of depressed adolescents. If technology continues to develop, social media will continue to expand and reach more people. Furthermore mental health needs to be normalized in society today so that we can recognize the toxic traits like social media that are causing an increase in mental illness. *Social media is not the sole cause of mental illnesses because there are many reasons one has a mental illness.
Limit social media useage! While it is hard to eliminate social media from society today, as individuals we can limit how much we are on our phone. Also it is important to realize that social media is a powerful tool that only portrays a part of someones life.

What is attribution modeling?
When a goal happens in soccer, which player should get how much credit of it?
- Should striker get the most credit for the goal?
- Should last person who pass the ball to the striker get the most credit for the goal?
- Should first person who initiated that rythm of passes get the most credit of the goal?
- Should every person who passes the ball get equal credit?
- Should the latter ones get more credit of the goal?
In marketing we are facing the similar kind of problem, that when the conversion happens. Then how much credit should be given to which channel in marketing?
Why we need attribution model?
In today's world every company is spending big amount of their budget on marketing
- To gauge the effectiveness of channels
- To measure impact of communication with customers
- To determine ROI
- To decide which actions to take
Types of attribution models:
- Rule based attribution model
- First Click Attribution Model
This is the closest proxy we have for "how did they hear about us in the first place?"
This is useful if you need to know which keywords genuinely helped make you known to the user.Pros: - Easy to implement
- Helps to know New Customer Acquisition Channels
- Insight into drive awareness campaigns
- No influence of subsequent touches
- Too much credit to lead gen programs
- Last Click Attribution Model
Most useful when the final touchpoint really was the deciding one, e.g. for impulse purchases or very price-sensitive decisions.
Pros: - Easy to implement
- Insights into drive conversion campaigns
- No influence of prior touches
- Too much credit to converting campaigns
- Equal weight Attribution Model
Gives equal weight to every touchpoint. Doesn't matter when that click is happening.
Pros: - No-fighting over who gets credit
- Helpful for longer revenue cycles with many clicks
- Low-impact touchpoints gets high credit
- No importance to high impact touchpoints
- Time Decay Attribution Model
“Latter you are in click-chain, more credit you will get”. If users can't remember about who showed up on the first few clicks, than those were probably worth less in final decision.
Pros: - Focused on all touchpoints
- Helpful for longer revenue cycles with many clicks
- Artificially inflate importance to latter channels
- Low-credit to acquisition channels
- Positional-Rule based Attribution Model
“What make you aware and What make you purchase from us?"
If you needed to get on a shortlist but you don't care if the user interacted with you again until they made their final decision, this model replicates that level of credit.Pros: - High credit for acquiring and converting channels
- Helpful for longer revenue cycles with many clicks
- Less influence for middle channels
- Data-driven attribution model: Second way of looking at attribution
- Helps to know proper attribution to each channel
- No set of rules to skew data
- Less guess work
- Better decisions
- Not Easy to implement
- Require statistical knowledge
- Require a lot of data to know statistical validity
- Shapely Attribution Model
How much value does each channel have?
Or in other words
How much value a channel brings to already existing list of channels?lets consider a customer journeys
In this customer journey, customer has 1% chances of making a purchase.
Now when we add display to the customer journey customer has 2% chances of making a purchase. Means there are 100% more chances of making a purchase when we add display as a channel to the current customer journey.
Let's consider we have 430 total conversions that happened thought the paid channels. Out of these 50 conversions had only social as the channel in the journey, 30 conversions had only Display as the channel in the journey, ..., 60 conversions had Social as well as Display as the channel in the journey, ..., 100 conversions had Social, Display as well as Retargeting as the channel in the journey.
Contribution of each channel is total time the channel appears in the customers journey. e.g. for Social it is
[50(where social appears as only channel in customers purchase journey] +
[60(where social, display occur together) - 30(where display occur only)]
+ .... +
[100(where social, display, retargeting occur together) - 80(where display and retargeting occur only)]
Weightage of each channel is contribution of that channel divided by total contribution of all the channels.
The final contribution of channels is different from all the rule based models.
- Markov-chain Attribution Model
Probabilistic Model
Relies on current state to predict the next statelets consider 3 customer journeys
Journey 1: Customer comes from Social channel, then after a few days customer comes from Display channel, then from Retargeting and finally makes a purchase.
Journey 2: Customer comes from Display channel, then after a few days customer comes from Retargeting channel but never makes a purchase.
Journey 3: Customer comes from Display channel only and never makes a purchase.
So, we have 3 customer journey's as follows:
Since Markov Model is the state change model. It is based on the current as well as previous stage only. So, we need to transpose the data and make the probability of the customer going from the initial stage to the next stage.
Once we have done the transformation of data, we get this kind of chart for all the channel in the customer journey:
Total chances of making a purchase is (33% * 100% * 66% * 50%) + (66% * 66% * 50%) = 33%
what will be the impact if we remove social channel from the customers journey is
(33% * 100% * 66% * 50%) +(66% * 66% * 50%) = 22%Effect of removing social media is 22%/33% = 0.66
Similarly, finding the impact of removing other channels.
Effect of removing:
- Social Media: 22.2% / 33.3% = 0.66
- Display: 1
- Retargeting: 1
Weight% of the effect of removing on total conversion, is the effect of removing the channel divided by the effect of removing all channels multiplied by the total conversions that we have in the journey, which is one in this case. This can be calculated as:
- Social Media: 0.66 / (0.66 + 1 + 1) = 0.25 * conversion (1) = 25%
- Display: 1 / (0.66 + 1 + 1) = 0.375 * conversion (1) = 37.5%
- Retargeting : 1 / (0.66 + 1 + 1) = 0.375 * conversion (1) = 37.5%
The final contribution of channels is different from all the rule based models.
-
When to choose which data-driven attribution model
Shapley wins over Markov chain in:- Much broader industry adoption
- Used successfully in attribution and auto-bidding platforms for years
- Backed by Nobel Prize winning research
- Slightly more straightforward approach to the attribution problem in which sequence doesn’t matter
- Easier to implement
- Results are usually more stable
- Results are less sensitive to the input data
Markov chain outshines Shapley value in:- Considers channel sequence as a fundamental part of the algorithm which is more closely aligned to a customer’s journey
- Potential to scale to a more considerable number of channels
- Marginal contributions for Shapley value must be calculated 2^n times (n being the number of marketing channels)
- Can be applied to the individual marketing campaign level which is more actionable for personalization
"Proper distribution to each channel"
|
Pros:
|
|---|
We will be properly able to attribute the revenue to different channels for revenue for new customer acquisition.

Streaming SIMD Extensions 3
SSE3 extensions include 13 instructions. Ten of these 13 instructions support the single instruction multiple data (SIMD) execution model used with SSE/SSE2 extensions. One SSE3 instruction accelerates x87 style programming for conversion of a floating-point value to integer. The remaining two instructions (MONITOR and MWAIT) accelerate synchronization of threads.


This is a useful port, on the northern end of the west coast. The harbour is in the heart of the city, so all services are close by. The area NW of the town is well-known for its caves, both above and under the water.
Position 40° 33.5' N, 8° 18.5' E.
Beware of a badly lit fish farm in the approaches.
There is usually a reception boat at the harbour entrance which will guide yachts to an appropriate berth.
There is a huge number of berths here, both transit and longer term moorings are available.
Berths on the town quay, in the northeastern part of the port, are all equipped with tailed moorings, water and electricity. Mooring here is free of charge for up to 5 days.
The newest marina, Marina Di S. Elmo, is in the quieter area on the southern side of the port.
Visitors' berths can also be found at the Banchina Dogana and the Banchina Sanità which are also in the southern part of the harbour.
Fertilia, just north of Alghero, offers very good shelter and an ecomonic place to over-winter.

2006 Hertz GT- H – This car is number 431 of 500. Sold by Hertz to Tyson Ford on 8-17-2007 with 17,287 miles. The paperwork trail included with the car shows a quick transfer from Tyson Ford to Auto Mart in Washington DC the next day. Purchased by the current owner 9-27-07 with the same mileage of 17,287 and shipped directly to Cave Creek Arizona where it remains today. The current owner drove it sparingly from September of 2007 until today adding only about 1300 miles. He only register it and titled it in July 25th 2017 when we started discussing selling it. All of the mileage and ownership history documentation comes with the car along with the Shelby documentation folder.
Body: Very nice original paint with the exception of the front bumper cover which must have been painted when Hertz owned it. I am not sure it was pained, but even though the color match is excellent but there appears to be too much orange peel by the headlights. There is a lower fairing that was bolted to the core support and I believe it extended back under the fan. It is missing. There are about 4 very small dings that i have documented with pics in the Google photo album linked below. The paint is scratched on both sides of the lower front bumper. The nose including head light covers have chips and minor markings. Gold striping has luggage scratches by the truck as most of these had.
Interior: Excellent condition, and it still smalls new which shocks me for a rental car. No smoke , pet or stinky fast food odor. The life time Hertz branded Sirius receiver is in tact and working perfectly. Leather is soft and does not display signs of wear.
Engine: Looks like it did when new. The Hertz anti theft wire is still present and attached. The secondary rubber seal for the air box has shrunk, and will not stay on. It will come with the car. The primary seal is attached. The battery blanket appears to have shrunk or was ripped. It comes with the car, but is a bit tattered. The hood pad has wear marks from the upper brace, but is still present and attached. The motor runs excellent, and all of the accessories including Air Conditioning work perfect. You can hear the motor wind up in this video:

Chassis: I scrubbed a bit, and it looks close to new. No rust, and the rubber / silicone parts look excellent. See all of the pictures in the below gallery.

‘I Warned Mourinho About Big Baby Lukaku’
by SL InternationalRomelu Lukaku's horror stay at Manchester United came to an end at the beginning of the season with a move to Inter Milan, but a former scout has now claimed he warned then Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho against signing the Belgium striker in the first place.

Lukaku joined United from Everton for a reported transfer fee of £75 million, plus £15 million in add-ons (R1.7 billion in total), in 2017, and went on to score 42 goals in 96 appearances for the club.
The Belgium international was widely criticised by Red Devils supporters, however, and and former scout Steve Walsh, who was on the Toffees' books at the time, claims to have warned Mourinho about the current Inter Milan striker's attitude.
"When Jose (Mourinho) signed Romelu Lukaku from Everton, I remember saying to him, 'You have to be careful with Lukaku. He is a big baby, you know'," Walsh told The Athletic.

"He said he could handle him (but) I don't think he really got Lukaku on-side mentally, which you have to do.
"That is the case with him and Paul Pogba. They aren't my type of players. They are more about themselves than the team.
"I wouldn't have touched them. Because they are good players doesn't mean you are going to get a good team out of it."

Lukaku is currently the leading goalscorer in Serie A this season with nine goals in 12 league appearances so far.


Unicode library for C++ by Ross Smith
#include "unicorn/path.hpp"
The Path
class holds a file system path as a string. Internally, the file
name is stored as a std::string
on Unix, or a std::wstring
on Windows, but
can be converted from a different string type on construction, and retrieved
either in its native format or as a UTF-8 string. The class provides a set of
file system operations, such as file renaming and deletion, directory search,
and so on.
File handling in Unicode always has the problem that the actual file names on most systems are not guaranteed to be valid Unicode. On most Unix systems, a file name is an arbitrary sequence of bytes, with no restrictions other than excluding the null and slash characters; while file names on systems such as Linux are usually expected to be encoded in UTF-8 when they contain non-ASCII characters, this is not enforced in any way. On Microsoft Windows, using the NTFS file system, file names are nominally UTF-16 (with a short list of disallowed characters), but not all of the wide character API functions that deal with files check for valid encoding; it's not hard to create a file whose name is an arbitrary sequence of 16-bit integers. The HFS+ file system formerly used by Apple on macOS and iOS appears to be the only widely used file system that actually does enforce valid Unicode names at the file system level, although it then proceeds to complicate matters by using a proprietary normalization scheme that does not match any of the four standard ones, and in any case the new APFS file system does not appear to enforce any kind of encoding.
To deal with this situation, the default behaviour of Path
when constructed
from a native file name string (std::string
on Unix, std::wstring
on
Windows) is to copy the string verbatim, without checking for or correcting
any UTF encoding. When converting from any other string type, however, the
default is to enforce valid UTF encoding in the converted string, which may
result in loss of information if the original string was not valid UTF.
Optionally, conversion behaviour can be controlled by explicitly supplying one
of the standard conversion mode flags from the Unicorn library:
Utf::
ignore
- Assume valid UTF inputUtf::
replace
- Replace invalid UTF with U+FFFD
Utf::
throws
- Throw EncodingError
on invalid UTFThe examples in the documentation below mostly use Unix-style file names for
simplicity; the equivalent code on Windows will make the obvious substitutions
of backslashes for slashes, and drive roots such as "C:\"
for "/"
.
The term "leaf name" is used here to mean the name of an individual file
within a directory, with no directory path prefix (for example, the leaf name
of "/foo/bar/hello.txt"
, or "C:\foo\bar\hello.txt"
, is "hello.txt"
).

(const std::basic_string_view<C>& file, flag_type flags = 0)

Constructors (and implicit conversions) from a string. Any standard string
type can be passed as a file name; if no conversion mode flag is explicitly
supplied, the name will simply be copied verbatim with no encoding checks if
the input string's character type is the same size as the native encoding (one
byte on Unix, two on Windows); otherwise, the conversion mode defaults to
Utf::replace
. Besides an optional conversion mode, the legal_name
flag can
also be supplied, in which case the constructor will throw
std::invalid_argument
if a file name whose format is illegal for the
operating system is supplied.
On construction, paths are brought into a canonical form according to the following rules;
/./
with /
throughout/
and /.
If required, UTF validation is done before canonicalization, OS specific legality checks after canonicalization.

string_view_type Path::
os_view

const character_type* Path::
c_name

These return the full path in its native OS form, with no conversion.
host_string_type Path::
native_name
() const
On Cygwin, this returns the underlying NTFS file name as a std::wstring
, and
may throw system_error
if there is a problem retrieving this. On any other
host, this is a synonym for os_name()
.
Ustring Path::
as_url
(flag_type flags = Utf::replace) const
Returns the file name as a UTF-8 "file://..."
URL. This will throw
std::invalid_argument
if the path is not absolute.
std::vector<Ustring> Path::
breakdown
() const
std::vector<string_type> Path::
os_breakdown
() const
Break the path down into its directory and file elements. If the path is absolute, the first element will be the root path.
Path Path::
change_ext
(Uview new_ext) const
Replace the file extension with a new one. The new extension can be supplied
with or without a leading dot, or can be an empty string to remove the
extension. This will throw std::invalid_argument
if the path is empty or is
a root path.
bool Path::
empty
() const noexcept
bool Path::
is_absolute
() const noexcept
bool Path::
is_drive_absolute
() const noexcept
bool Path::
is_drive_relative
() const noexcept
bool Path::
is_relative
() const noexcept
Path::form Path::
path_form
() const noexcept
Query which syntactic form the path has. Of the first five functions, exactly
one will always be true for any path; path_form()
returns the type as an
enumeration value. The concepts of a "drive absolute" (e.g. "\foo"
) or
"drive relative" (e.g. "C:foo"
) path are specific to Windows; on Unix,
is_drive_absolute()
and is_drive_relative()
are always false, and
path_form()
will never return one of those values.
bool Path::
is_leaf
() const noexcept
True if the path is a leaf name (one with no directory prefix).
bool Path::
is_legal
() const noexcept
True if the path is legal for this operating system.
bool Path::
is_root
() const noexcept
True if the path is the root of a logical file system. This is a purely
syntactic check and does not attempt to check against actual mount points. On
Unix this is true only for "/"
(except that Windows-style network paths are
recognized on Cygwin); on Windows, this checks for a drive letter (e.g.
"C:\"
) or network path (e.g. "\\server\"
).
bool Path::
is_unicode
() const noexcept
True if the name is a valid UTF encoding.
size_t Path::
hash
() const noexcept
struct std::
hash
<Path>
Hash function. This simply returns the standard hash of the internal string.
Path Path::
relative_to
(const Path& base) const
Returns a relative path locating the current path relative to the given base
path. The current and base paths must be either both absolute or both
relative; if they are relative, they are assumed to be relative to the same
origin. On Windows, if the two paths are absolute and have different drive
prefixes, the original absolute path will be returned unchanged. This will
throw std::invalid_argument
if the current path and base path are not both
absolute or both relative.
std::pair<Ustring, Ustring> Path::
split_leaf
() const
std::pair<string_type, string_type> Path::
split_os_leaf
() const
Splits the path's leaf name into a base and extension; the extension begins
with the last dot, provided this is not the first or last character of the
leaf name. The part of the path before the leaf name is not included in the
return value. If the path is a root path, both strings will be empty. For
example, "/foo/bar/hello.txt"
will return {"hello",".txt"}
.
std::pair<Path, Path> Path::
split_path
() const
Splits the path into a directory path and a leaf name. If the path is a root
path, the leaf name will be empty. For example, "/foo/bar/hello.txt"
will
return {"/foo/bar","hello.txt"}
.
std::pair<Path, Path> Path::
split_root
() const
Splits the path into a root path and a path relative to the root. For example,
"/foo/bar/hello.txt"
will return {"/","foo/bar/hello.txt"}
.
static Path Path::
common
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs)
template <typename Range> static Path Path::
common
(const Range& files)
Return the longest common prefix of two or more paths. The return value will
be a complete path (i.e. it will not split a path element in half if two path
elements happen to share a substring). The returned path will be empty if the
argument paths are a mixture of absolute and relative paths, or (on Windows)
if they are absolute but do not all have the same root. For example,
common("/a/b/c/d/e/f","/a/b/c/x/y/z")
will return "/a/b/c"
.
static Path Path::
join
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs)
template <typename Range> static Path Path::
join
(const Range& files)
Path
operator/
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs)
Path&
operator/=
(Path& lhs, const Path& rhs)
Join two paths. This will discard the LHS and return the RHS unchanged if the LHS is empty or the RHS is absolute; otherwise, the resulting path is obtained by assuming the RHS is relative to the LHS.
bool
operator==
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs) noexcept
bool
operator!=
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs) noexcept
bool
operator<
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs) noexcept
bool
operator>
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs) noexcept
bool
operator<=
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs) noexcept
bool
operator>=
(const Path& lhs, const Path& rhs) noexcept
Comparison operators. These perform lexicographical comparison by code unit, not by code point, because the path string may not be a valid encoding; on Windows this means that paths that contain characters outside the BMP will not necessarily sort in Unicode order.
These require read-only access to the file system. All functions not marked
noexcept
can throw std::system_error
if the underlying system API fails,
in addition to any explicitly documented exceptions.
system_clock::time_point Path::
access_time
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
system_clock::time_point Path::
create_time

system_clock::time_point Path::
modify_time
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
system_clock::time_point Path::
status_time
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
Query the file's time metadata; see also the corresponding update functions
below. The four possible time properties are detailed below. The query
functions will return the epoch if the file does not exist or is not
accessible. If the no_follow
flag is set, and the path refers to a symlink,
these will operate (if possible) on the symlink rather than the target file.
| Property | Interpretation | Apple | Other Unix | Windows |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Access time | When the file's content was last read (Posix atime ) |
Read/write | Read/write | Read/write |
| Create time | When the file was created | Read only | Not supported | Read/write |
| Modify time | When the file's content was last modified (Posix mtime ) |
Read/write | Read/write | Read/write |
| Status time | When the file's metadata was last modified (Posix ctime ) |
Read only | Read only | Not supported |
directory_range Path::
directory
(flag_type flags = 0) const
deep_search_range Path::
deep_search
(flag_type flags = 0) const
Return an iterator range over the files within a directory, either the
immediate directory members (directory()
) or a recursive search of all child
directories (deep_search()
).
The range will be empty if the path does not exist or is not a directory. The
order in which files are returned is unspecified. If the directory's contents
are changed while iteration is in progress, it is unspecified whether the
changes will be visible to the caller. If the no_hidden
flag is set, hidden
files will not be included. If the unicode
flag is set, files whose names
are not valid UTF will not be included (this test is applied to the whole
path, so a directory whose own name is invalid will appear to be empty).
By default, deep_search()
visits files in top down order (a directory is
seen before its contents); if the bottom_up
flag is set, bottom up order is
used instead (a directory's contents are seen before the directory itself).
Deep search iterators otherwise take the same flags, and follow the same
rules, as directory iterator.
bool Path::
exists
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
Query whether a file exists. This may give a false negative if the file exists
but is not accessible to the calling process. The no_follow
flag prevents
this function from following symbolic links.
id_type Path::
id
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
Returns a unique file identifier, intended to identify the file even if it is
referred to by different paths. It will return a null ID if the file does not
exist or the caller does not have permission to query its properties. This is
based on the file's device and inode numbers, but completely reliable file
identification cannot be guaranteed in the presence of parallel remote mounts
or similar trickery. The no_follow
flag prevents this function from
following symbolic links.
bool Path::
is_directory
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
bool Path::
is_file
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
bool Path::
is_special
(flag_type flags = 0) const noexcept
Query the file type. Exactly one of these will be true if exists()
is true.
These may give a false negative if the file exists but is not accessible to
the calling process. The no_follow
flag prevents this function from
following symbolic links.
bool Path::
is_hidden
() const noexcept
True if the file is normally hidden. On Unix this is based on the file name (a file is hidden if its name starts with a dot), and the file's existence is not checked; on Windows this is a metadata property, and will return false if the file does not exist or is not accessible to the caller.
bool Path::
is_symlink
() const noexcept
True if the file is a symbolic link. I haven't tried to support the complicated symlink-like concepts on NTFS; this simply always returns false on Windows.
Path Path::
resolve
() const
This resolves a relative path to an absolute one. If the path is empty, this will return the current directory. On Unix, if the path is absolute, it will be returned unchanged, but on Windows any short filenames in the original path will be resolved to long names even if the path was absolute.
Path Path::
resolve_symlink
() const
Returns the file pointed to by a symlink. This will just return the original path unchanged if it is not a symlink.
uint64_t Path::
size
(flag_type flags = 0) const
Returns the size of a file in bytes. If the no_follow
flag is set, and the
path refers to a symlink, this will return the size of the link instead of the
target file. If the recurse
flag is set, and the path refers to a directory,
this will recursively determine the total size of the directory and everything
in it (symlinks below the outermost directory will not be followed).
These require write access to the file system. All of these can throw
std::system_error
if the underlying system API fails, in addition to any
explicitly documented exceptions.
void Path::
copy_to
(const Path& dst, flag_type flags = 0) const
Copy a file from the current path to the destination path. If the overwrite
flag is set, this will replace any existing file at the destination. If the
recurse
flag is set, and the path refers to a directory, it will be copied
recursively. This will fail if the source file does not exist, if the source
and destination are the same file, if the destination already exists and
overwrite
was not set, or if the source is a directory and recurse
was not
set.
void Path::
create
() const
If the file does not exist, an empty file with default permissions is created.
void Path::
make_directory
(flag_type flags = 0) const
Create a directory, with default permissions, at the current path. If the
overwrite
flag is set, and the path exists but is not a directory, it will
be replaced. If the recurse
flag is set, any missing parent directories will
also be created (like mkdir -p
). This will do nothing if the directory
already exists; it will fail if the path exists but is not a directory, and
the overwrite
flag was not set.
void Path::
make_symlink
(const Path& linkname, flag_type flags = 0) const
Create a symlink at linkname
, pointing to the current path. If the
may_copy
flag is set, this will copy the file (recursively) if a symlink
can't be created. If the overwrite
flag is set, any existing file at
linkname
will be replaced. This will do nothing if the link already exists
and points to the correct file. The existence of the target path is not
checked. This will fail if a file already exists at linkname
, it is not a
symlink already pointing to the target path, and the overwrite
flag was not
set. On Windows this will always fail unless the may_copy
flag is set.
void Path::
move_to
(const Path& dst, flag_type flags = 0) const
Move a file from the current path to the destination path. If the may_copy
flag is set, this will attempt to copy the file and then delete the original
if the move fails (this may leave two copies of a file if the operation fails
partway through). If the overwrite
flag is set, this will replace any
existing file at the destination. This will do nothing if the source and
destination are the same file. This will fail if the source file does not
exist, or if the destination already exists and overwrite
was not set.
void Path::
remove
(flag_type flags = 0) const
Delete a file. This will do nothing if the file already does not exist. If the
recurse
flag is set, this will delete directories recursively (like rm
-rf
). This will fail if the path refers to a non-empty directory and the
recurse
flag is not used, if the caller does not have permission to remove
the file, or in some circumstances, if the file is in use by another process.
void Path::
set_access_time
(flag_type flags = 0) const
void Path::
set_access_time
(system_clock::time_point t, flag_type flags = 0) const
void Path::
set_create_time

void Path::
set_create_time

void Path::
set_modify_time

void Path::
set_modify_time
(system_clock::time_point t, flag_type flags = 0) const
void Path::
set_status_time
(flag_type flags = 0) const
void Path::
set_status_time
(system_clock::time_point t, flag_type flags = 0) const
Modify the file's time metadata. Refer to the corresponding query functions (above) for details of the interpretation of the four time properties.
The functions that do not take a time argument will set it to the current
time. If the no_follow
flag is set, and the path refers to a symlink, these
will operate (if possible) on the symlink rather than the target file. The
setter functions will throw std::system_error
if the file does not exist, if
the calling process does not have permission to modify the requested time
field, or if that field is not defined, or not modifiable, on this operating
system.
Query and update functions are included for all four times for symmetry and
futureproofing, but no known operating system supports explicitly setting the
file metadata modification time, and the current implementation of
set_status_time()
will always fail.
All of these functions may throw std::ios::failure
if anything goes wrong.
void Path::
load
(std::string& dst, size_t maxlen = npos, flag_type flags = 0) const
Read the contents of a file into a string (erasing its former contents).
Optionally, a maximum number of bytes can be specified. If the may_fail
flag
is set, this will return an empty string if the file does not exist or a read
error occurs. If the std_default
flag is set, this will read from standard
input if the path is an empty string or "-"
.
void Path::
save
(std::string_view src, flag_type flags = 0) const
Writes the contents of a string to a file. If the append
flag is set and the
file already exists, the new data will be appended to it; otherwise, it will
be overwritten. If the std_default
flag is set, this will write to standard
output if the path is an empty string or "-"
.
All of these functions may throw std::system_error
if the underlying system
API fails.
void Path::
change_directory
() const
static Path Path::
current_directory
()
Query or set the calling process's current working directory. Remember that this is not thread safe.


Former South Carolina deputy arrested for sex with teen in patrol car
by Kenneth GargerA former deputy assigned to a South Carolina high school — and former basketball player at the University of South Carolina — was arrested Wednesday for having sex with a 17-year-old student in his patrol car.
Jamel Bradley, 40, who was fired from Richmond County Sheriff’s office in October, is also the target of a federal lawsuit alleging he had a sexual relationship with another student at Spring Valley High School in Columbia.
Wednesday’s arrest of Bradley stemmed from an incident last year that happened off-campus, his former Sheriff, Leon Lott, said.
“I’d like to kill you, but I can’t do that,” Sheriff Lott said about his former deputy. “I really would. It just disgusts me.”
Lott said investigators are probing whether Bradley victimized other students since his 2007 hiring. The federal lawsuit against Bradley contains such allegations.
“It’s still a very active investigation. But we felt like he needed to be arrested and he needed to be arrested today,” Lott said.
Bradley scored a record three pointers while playing for the NCAA team from 1998 to 2002.
 He was fired earlier this year for lying and tampering with an internal investigation into his actions.
Included in the suit is a case where a cheerleading coach from a different high school told authorities that Bradley may be inappropriately touching a cheerleader.
With Post wires


Object
A Gateway is an object that allows you to tunnel network connections through a publicly visible host to a host hidden behind it. This is particularly useful when dealing with hosts behind a firewall. One host will generally be visible (and accessible) outside the firewall, while the others will all be behind the firewall, and the only way to access those restricted hosts is by first logging into the publicly visible host, and from thence logging into the restricted ones.
This class makes it easy to programmatically connect to these restricted hosts via SSH. You can either simply forward a port from the local host to the remote host, or you can open a new Net::SSH connection to the remote host via a forwarded port.
require 'net/ssh/gateway' gateway = Net::SSH::Gateway.new('host.name', 'user') gateway.open('hidden.host', 80) do |port| Net::HTTP.get_print '<IP_ADDRESS>', '/path', port end gateway.ssh('hidden.host', 'user') do |ssh| puts ssh.exec!("hostname") end gateway.shutdown!
Port numbers are allocated automatically, beginning at MAX_PORT and decrementing on each request for a new port until MIN_PORT is reached. If a port is already in use, this is detected and a different port will be assigned.
Instantiate a new Gateway object, using the given remote host as the tunnel. The arguments here are identical to those for Net::SSH.start, and are passed as given to that method to start up the gateway connection.
gateway = Net::SSH::Gateway.new('host', 'user', :password => "password")
As of 1.1 there is an additional option to specify the wait time for the gateway thread. The default is 0.001 seconds and can be changed with the :loop_wait option.
# File lib/net/ssh/gateway.rb, line 73 def initialize(host, user, options={}) @session = Net::SSH.start(host, user, options) @session_mutex = Mutex.new @port_mutex = Mutex.new @next_port = MAX_PORT @loop_wait = options.delete(:loop_wait) || 0.001 initiate_event_loop! end
Returns true if the gateway is currently open and accepting connections. This will be the case unless shutdown! has been invoked.
# File lib/net/ssh/gateway.rb, line 84 def active? @active end
Cancels port-forwarding over an open port that was previously opened via open.
# File lib/net/ssh/gateway.rb, line 146 def close(port) ensure_open! @session_mutex.synchronize do @session.forward.cancel_local(port) end end
Opens a new port on the local host and forwards it to the given host/port via the gateway host. If a block is given, the newly allocated port number will be yielded to the block, and the port automatically closed (see close) when the block finishes. Otherwise, the port number will be returned, and the caller is responsible for closing the port (close).
gateway.open('host', 80) do |port| # ... end port = gateway.open('host', 80) # ... gateway.close(port)
If local_port is not specified, the next available port will be used.
# File lib/net/ssh/gateway.rb, line 121 def open(host, port, local_port=nil) ensure_open! actual_local_port = local_port || next_port @session_mutex.synchronize do @session.forward.local(actual_local_port, host, port) end if block_given? begin yield actual_local_port ensure close(actual_local_port) end else return actual_local_port end rescue Errno::EADDRINUSE raise if local_port # if a local port was explicitly requested, bubble the error up retry end
Shuts down the gateway by closing all forwarded ports and then closing the gateway’s SSH session.
# File lib/net/ssh/gateway.rb, line 90 def shutdown! return unless active? @session_mutex.synchronize do # cancel all active forward channels @session.forward.active_locals.each do |lport, host, port| @session.forward.cancel_local(lport) end end @active = false @thread.join @session.close end
Forwards a new connection to the given host and opens a new Net::SSH connection to that host over the forwarded port. If a block is given, the new SSH connection will be yielded to the block, and autoclosed when the block terminates. The forwarded port will be autoclosed as well. If no block was given, the new SSH connection will be returned, and it is up to the caller to terminate both the connection and the forwarded port when done.
gateway.ssh('host', 'user') do |ssh| # ... end ssh = gateway.ssh('host', 'user') # ... ssh.close gateway.close(ssh.transport.port)
# File lib/net/ssh/gateway.rb, line 170 def ssh(host, user, options={}, &block) local_port = open(host, options[:port] || 22) begin Net::SSH.start("<IP_ADDRESS>", user, options.merge(:port => local_port), &block) ensure close(local_port) if block || $! end end

Linear Regression, parallel Linear Regression, parallel General Linear regression with Little Bag of Bootstraps modified based on the original blblm package. The main improvement of this package is to add parallel functionality to the original blblm package. When requested number of clusters is larger than 1, the parallel computing will be in effect. Otherwise original formula will be executed. Also, the package also expanded the lm to fitting general linear models such as logistic regression. Finally, another function is allowed to read multiple fraction of the same data frame and compute coefficients for each file. Memory can be saved this way.

lm
Linear Model with implementation of parallel computingThe original blblm functions implement several randomly weighted linear models on splitted data sets. Here in the modified package, parallel computing is able to be used on the data set. For example:
Here I used the smaller bank data set from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
You can specify number of clusters to use for the object. However, cluster will only be used when it is larger than 1.
The object has two attributes, object$formula
and object$estimates
. The latter is a list of coefficients and sigmas for each booted lm.

glm
Linear Model with implementation of parallel computingSame thing is expanded to a general linear model case, but not the prediction because it highly depends on the family of glm model. Here I take logistic regression as example and the default is also logistic regression.

Since the output is a blblm_parallel class, same things can be done on the object such as sigma, coefficient and confidence intervals. This is just basically change the splitted partial file to a readed external *.csv
file. However if the data set is too small, the result and the coefficient, sigma and confidence interval methods will not work as expected due to multicoliearity. Here I used manually generated 4 small partition of mtcars data set as a try.


I’ve been working with the MEAN stack, following an example in Jeff Dickey’s book: “Write Modern Web Apps with the MEAN Stack” to create a web application. I had it working fine locally, but encountered a few problems when deploying the app in the cloud using Heroku, which is what I'm outlining in this post. I'll start with how I create the app from the web interface, and then configuring MongoDB and Gulp to work on Heroku.
1. Create a Heroku App
Here was my general process:
- Create a new app in from the Heroku web interface
- Clone my git repository and
cd
into my cloned project directory - Then follow the instructions provided by heroku to log into and push the app up:
If you haven't already, log in to your Heroku account and follow the prompts to create a new SSH public key.
$ heroku login
Clone the repository
Use Git to clone social-app-test's source code to your local machine.
$ heroku git:clone -a app-name $ cd app-name
Deploy your changes
Make some changes to the code you just cloned deploy them to Heroku using Git.
$ git add . $ git commit -am "make it better" $ git push heroku master
At this stage, I was getting the following Heroku application error when visiting the URL of my new app:
There were a couple problems causing this - the MongoDB connection is broken, and the gulp tasks aren't running. These problems are addressed below:
2. Fixing the MongoDB Connection
To run MongoDB on Heroku, you need to install it as a service for your app, which can be done in one line:
heroku addons:add mongolab
Once MongoLab is installed, you’ll need to ensure your mongoose connection is set to use Heroku’s environmental variable, as well as your own (so you don't break how things work locally). That can be done really easily by adding the process.env.MONGOLAB_URL
variable when using mongoose.connect()
. For my app it was in my db.js file:
mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGOLAB_URI || 'mongodb://localhost/social', function(){ console.log('mongodb connected'); })
3. Running gulp on Heroku
To run the app locally, I was entering gulp dev
from the console, which was running a bunch of tasks to build and serve the app.
Of course, when you push the app to Heroku, this step is missing so the app never builds. This can be easily solved by modifying your package.json
to include a start script which is always run by Heroku. In the start script, you can enter any tasks you want to run straight away - mine was gulp dev
:
"scripts": { "start": "gulp dev" }
Now you can commit and push those changes to Heroku and it should work. If it doesn’t, just run heroku logs
from the terminal, and do some googling around the errors.

Disney Boating Accident Stillwater Newspress AP Report
This is an AP News Report as Published in the 19 December Stillwater OK Newspress
Eyewitnesses described the victims as stunt men or extras for the movie "Gone Fishin", which stars Joe Pesci and Danny Glover.
The number of people injured and the extent of their injuries was not immediately available, Collier County Sheriff's Sgt. Jimmy Snell.(sic)
Details were sketchy, but officials said the boat was due to go up a ramp and fly through the air and land in a group of boats. Instead, it came off the ramp to one side and flipped upside-down.
"Something went wrong and the boat landed in a crowd of people," Snell said.
The movie, which also stars Rosanna Arquette,,, Lynn Whitfield, and Nick Brimble, is a comedy about what can go wrong when two New Jersey guys (Pesci and Glover) win a dream fishing trip to Florida.
It was being filmed in the Big Cyprus Swamp, on the southwest tip of the state in the Everglades.

Anti-Brexit campaigners claim police made them remove sweary slogan from car
Peter Cook said he was asked to remove the sticker from the car on the M25.
Two anti-Brexit campaigners have claimed they were pulled over on the M25 and told by police to remove a sticker from their car.
Passenger Peter Cook posted a video to Twitter claiming that Essex Police had “bullied” the campaigners into removing a “Bollocks to Brexit” slogan on the motorway near Brentwood on Sunday afternoon.
Mr Cook told the BBC: “He said it [the slogan] was a public order offence, he insisted we remove the signage on the hard shoulder of the M25.”
Posting a video of the incident on social media, the campaign group said: “Essex Police bullied us into removing “Bollocks” from our car… I am calling the Police Complaints Commission.”
An Essex Police spokeswoman said: “We are trying to identify the officer from the video footage to establish the circumstances around what happened.
“In the meantime, we would encourage the driver to get in touch with us.”
The Independent Office for Police Conduct did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In November 1977, Nottingham Magistrates’ Court ruled “bollocks” was not an obscene word after a record store manager was arrested for displaying the album Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols.

With traditional career doors slamming shut, it’s easy to panic, but Chris Guillebeau sees opportunities everywhere. Making a career out of your passion sounds like a dream, but in this straightforward, engaging book he shows you how to get it done, one simple step at a time.” —Alan Paul, author of Big in China More than a decade ago, I began a lifelong journey of self-employment by any means necessary. I never planned to be an entrepreneur; I just didn’t want to work for someone else. From a cheap apartment in Memphis, Tennessee, I watched what other people had done and tried to reverse-engineer their success. I started by importing coffee from Jamaica, selling it online because I saw other people making money from it; I didn’t have any special skills in importing, roasting, or selling. (I did, however, consume much of the product through frequent “testing.”)

Coldplay axes tour plans over pollution fears
by AFPColdplay frontman Chris Martin said on Thursday the band had shelved plans to go on tour to promote their latest album over concerns about the environmental impact of concerts.
The band’s new album, Everyday Life, was released on Friday but its members have decided to play only two gigs, both in the Jordanian capital Amman, which was broadcast free on YouTube.
They played at sunrise and sunset to mirror the two sides of the new album, according to the BBC.
Martin told the broadcaster they had chosen the Middle Eastern country because it was “in the middle of the world” and in a region they “normally don’t get to play.”
“We’re taking time over the next year or two, to work out how our tour can not only be sustainable (but) how can it be actively beneficial,” Martin said in an interview.

Martin said if the band does eventually hit the road for the new release, they hope the tour could be entirely carbon neutral.
“The hardest thing is the flying side of things. But, for example, our dream is to have a show with no single-use plastic, to have it largely solar-powered,” he added.
Everyday Life is Coldplay’s eighth studio album. The band drew attention last month to its launch by revealing the tracks in the classified adverts section of a local newspaper in Wales.
Meanwhile, it is set to perform another one-off concert next Monday at London’s Natural History Museum, with the proceeds donated to an environmental charity.

It is a special one indeed being the 15th Inter-house Sports competition marking the 20th year Anniversary of our great School. “ For physical training (exercise) is of some value, but godliness has value for all things……..” 1 Tim. 4: 8( NIV) Spiritual and physical exercises are good for the body therefore, the inclusion of sports and games in the curriculum is not a mistake as it has an important role to play in the total well-being of the child.
During this fiesta, you could exhibit some talents which you do not even know that you have and you may bury for life, a talent/skill given to you by God through your laziness, lack of focus and indiscipline. Exercise, which precedes all sporting activities, helps the body to be active, improves health, curbs boredom and empowers boys and girls, even adults for an all-round development, making both spectators and competitors mentally and physically alert and relaxed.

it can be used. The following properties must be provided:
- ResourceURL
specifies the user interface name.
- Frame
specifies to which frame instance the user interface belongs to.
- ConfigurationSource
specifies to which configuration manager a user interface
element instance is bound to.
A user interface element factory creates and initializes every user interface element
correctly.

| Exported Interfaces - Details |
XUIElementSettings
- Description
- provides functions to retrieve and change the user interface element structure data and to
update its visible representation.

| Properties' Details |
Persistent
boolean Persistent;
- Description
- specifies if the user interface element stores changes of its structure to its creator
source defined by the property ConfigurationSource.
|
|
ConfigurationSource
XUIConfigurationManager ConfigurationSource;
- Description
- specifies the configuration source of this user interface element.
If the property Persistent is true changes on the structure of
the user interface element are written back to configuration source. When this property is
changed, afterwards XUIElementSettings::updateSettings must be called so
the user interface element tries to retrieve its settings from the new user interface
configuration manager.

Light, crisp balls of meringue topped with raspberries and dark chocolate.
Preheat the oven on to 140C/275F/Gas 1.
Pour the sugar into an oven tray and bake for 30 minutes.
Whisk the egg whites while adding the warm sugar. Whisk well until the whites form a hard peak shape when the whisk is removed.
Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Spoon mounds of the egg white onto the baking tray in rough shapes approximately the size of a tennis ball. Sprinkle with cinnamon and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a simmering pan of water.
When the meringues are cooked, flatten the tops down. Evenly distribute the raspberries on each one.
With a spoon, trickle the melted chocolate over the meringues and leave to cool until the chocolate is solid before serving.


Parallel computing using general purpose GPU is really taking off with advancement of technology from Nvidia, AMD, Intel. Especially Nvidia is dominating the field with variety of GPU offering and also software infrastructure CUDA (initially called as Compute Unified Device Architecture), which is a parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) model. In this article, I share how GPU programming with CUDA looks like using UCS server with Nvidia GPU GRID K1
GPU Programming model
First introducing two terminologies:
Host: The CPU (e.g. x86, ARM) and its memory (host memory)
Device: The GPU (e.g. Nvidia GPU) and its memory (device memory).
There will be host code, which is executed in host CPU (e.g. x86); and there will be device code, which is loaded in host and push into GPU to run. The following diagram shows programming model and execution flow.
The basic hello world code is shown below:
The host code is same as usual, but the device code is marked with a new keyword “global”.
host code invokes device code almost same as usual, except it adds «1,1» which means using one block and one thread, which isn’t interesting at all. Let’s trying something more interesting.
Running an example of vector additions using mutiple block and multiple threads
The main advantage of GPU computing is to have huge numbers of parallel executions. For that, CUDA introduces:
Block: On the device, each block can execute in parallel, each block has index of “blockIdx.x”
Thread: a block can be split into parallel threads, each thread has index of “threadIdx.x”
Combining block with thread: the index is “threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x”
The below code creates two input arrays, which holds random integers, and the third array to hold result of addition, which is to be done by GPU.
First make sure we have Nvidia GPU GRID K1 and Nvidia compiler in place:
