Plot: Beautiful fifteen year-old Lucy Stanton is offered a modelling course in Rome. But then her mother, who opposes the idea and is also digging up connections between the millenial prophecies of an astonomical clock predicting the return of Satan and their connection to an ancient order of Estruscan monks, falls from a roof in mysterious circumstances. Lucy's father Hugh agrees to go after he is offered the opportunity to study music at an Italian monastery. But amid a series of mysterious deaths, Hugh begins to discover that the monastery is really a part of the Estrucan order who are preparing the way for the coming of Satan, one which requires the bodies of eighteen beautiful girls to be offered for Satan to choose one to incarnate in, and that Lucy has been selected as one of these `angels'.
`The Eighteenth Angel' comes from screenwriter David Seltzer. Seltzer has written various films like `Lucas' (1986), `Punchline' (1988) and `Bird on a Wire' (1990) but is principally remembered for `The Omen' (1976). And maybe if `The Eighteenth Angel' if had come from someone other than Seltzer, it might have seemed a competent copy of `The Omen'. But coming from Seltzer it reads as a pallid and unimaginative attempt to rehash the same plot all over again. The points of similarity often become tedious - another plot concerning the Biblical End of the World and the birth of Satan in the form of a young child; a sinisterly conspiring coven within the Catholic church - who also hide in an ancient monastery in the Italian hillside; gory showcase deaths to those who get in the way of the Satanic master plan; killer animals in the service of The Devil - dogs in `The Omen', killer cats here; evil servants and so forth. Plus an almost identical twist ending.
Seltzer, it seems - both here, in `The Omen' and in his 1979 eco-horror film `Prophecy' (1979) - has a kind of wild-eyed sackcloth-and-ashes prophet's fascination with the imminently apocalyptic. `The Omen' had an audacious kind of originality to it with Seltzer whipping a frenzied hodgepodge of fundamentalist End Times prophecies into a lunatic horror show which was subsequently given a sheen of respectability by an A-budget treatment which with a high-profile advertizing campaign succeeded in making it a major hit. It was endlessly imitated.`The Eighteenth Angel' comes across as a proficient and well-budgeted copy but alas one where Seltzer, in revisiting the material, does absolutely nothing new with it. There's a minimal thematic difference - `The Omen' featured merely an evil child while `The Eighteenth Angel' raises the age of the child a few years and features the potentially more intriguing corruption of an innocent theme (although again does absolutely nothing with it).
Almost as though he has failed to understand anything that made `The Omen' work, Seltzer fumbles all his cues here. The plot gives away all its surprises at the very beginning - the opening narration tells us all about the ancient Etruscan order and the need for eighteen angels to incarnate the Devil. A far more effective story would have enwrapped one in its mysteriousness and then slowly unveiled each surprise as it went along. Nor is Seltzer very clear about what the Satanic master plan actually entails - something to do with genetic engineering and the need for eighteen maidens who, for reasons unexplained, have to have their faces sliced off and transplanted onto corpses.
Where the film seems almost to work is in its A-budget polish - it is very nicely scored and photographed - and in director Brindley's often quite effective handling. Where Seltzer offers up predictable twists, Brindley at least crafts them with a sinister edge. There is one memorably way-out showcase death with a character being caught up in and hung in the bridles between two galloping black horses. Unlike `The Omen', which succeeded for much these same reasons, however Seltzer's plot is a second-hand copy of his own material that lacks the fire that made the original a success.

CSS is a powerful tool for adding style and form to a website. Colors, borders, font size and style, placement of images and text - all of these can be customized to your liking through CSS. This blog will focus on three of the most fundamental attributes that can be modified using CSS: border, padding and margin.
BORDER: As you might expect, the border is the area around the outside of an object. You can modify it's weight (how wide the line is), type (solid, dashed, etc.) and color. In our example, we will modify the border of a yellow square to make three distinct variations:
1.border:10px solid red
2.border:2px dashed aqua
3.border:10px double lime
These three lines of code create the three squares seen on the right. The first has a solid red line that is 10 pixels wide. The second is a dashed, 2-pixel-thick aqua border. The third box has a double-lined lime border that its 10 pixels wide. It's easy to see the variations that could be made. You can use many of the standard colors by name (red, green, blue, etc.), or - what's more fun- you can use a HEX color code.
MARGIN: Margin measures the distance around an object on four sides: top, right, bottom and left. In the image on the left, you can see that the red square is inside a grey box(which we can pretend is a website). The black lines represent the margin for each of the four directions. You can see that they are not always the same. In this picture, the top and left margins are less than the right and bottom margins. If you wanted to specify that the object should be centered on the page, the margins should all have the same value or at least each opposite pair (top and bottom, left and right) should.
You can enter margins two ways:
margin: 10px
This way sets a 10 pixel margin on all four sides of the object.
margin: 10px 5px 15px 2px
This sets a 10pixel margin on the top, a 5 pixel margin on the right, a 15 pixel margin on the bottom and a 2 pixel margin on the left.
PADDING: In the picture to the left, the grey box contains the red square. This grey box has a minimum amount of space it sets as "padding" between its border and the red square. This represented by the black lines. The purpose of padding is to "breathing room" to content. For example, the paragraph you're reading now is inside a box with padding, otherwise the words would run right up against the box. Padding is written:
padding: 10px
This sets 10 pixels of padding all around the inside of the box
padding: 10px 5px 15px 2px
This sets 10pixels of padding on top, 5 on the right, 15 on bottom and 2 on the left.


The following demo stores GloVe word vectors in IndexedDB. Everything is designed to work on Chrome, so YMMV on other browsers.
Okay, now we're ready to index. First click the "Build Index" button. You can watch the indexing progress in the JavaScript console. After that, click the "Get Index Stats" button.

Karbon¶
The estimated time to complete this lab is 60 minutes.
Overview¶
Nutanix Karbon is an on-prem turnkey curated enterprise-grade Kubernetes service offering that simplifies the provisioning, operations and lifecycle management of Kubernetes.
Karbon provides a consumer-grade experience for delivering Kubernetes on-prem providing huge savings on OpEx of dedicated DevOps or SRE teams to keep Kubernetes online, up to date or integrated with 3rd party components and tooling.
In this lab you will deploy a Kubernetes cluster using Karbon and then deploy multiple containers, referred to as Kubernetes pods, to run a sample application.
Creating a Karbon Cluster¶
In this exercise you will create a development Kubernetes cluster with Nutanix Karbon.
In Prism Central, select > Services > Karbon.
Note
If Karbon has not already been enabled on your cluster, click the Enable Karbon button when prompted. Once clicked, the process should take approximately 2 minutes to complete. During this time Prism Central is deploying the Karbon control plane, which runs as a set of containers within the Prism Central VM.
Click the provided link to launch the Karbon Console.
Note
If at any point your Karbon session times out, you can log in again using your Prism Central admin credentials.
To begin provisioning a Karbon cluster, click + Create Cluster.
Select Development Cluster and click Next.
On the Name and Environment tab, fill out the following fields:
- Name - Initials-karbon
- Cluster - Select Your Nutanix cluster
- Kubernetes Version - 1.13.4
- Host OS Image - centos7.5.1804-ntnx-0.0
Note
Your cluster has been pre-staged with a compatible CentOS image for use with Karbon.
Karbon currently supports CentOS 7.5.1804 and requires that the image be downloaded directly from Karbon OS Images.
Click Next.
Next you will define the number of container host VMs and compute requirements, starting with Worker VMs.
Worker nodes are responsible for running containers deployed onto the Kubernetes cluster. Each Worker node runs the kubelet and kube-proxy services.
On the Node Configuration tab, fill out the following fields:
- VM Network - Secondary
- Number of Workers - 2 (Default 1)
- Memory - 12 GiB (Default 8)
- Size - 120 GiB (Default)
- VCPU - 4 (Default)
Click Next.
Next you will configure the networking for the pods. Karbon utilizes Flannel to provide layer 3 IPv4 network between multiple nodes within the Kubernetes cluster.
Platforms like Kubernetes assume that each pod (container) has a unique, routable IP inside the cluster. The advantage of this model is that it removes the port mapping complexities that come from sharing a single host IP.
The Service CIDR defines the network range on which services (like etcd) are exposed. The Pod CIDR defines the network range used to IP pods. The default configuration allows for a maximum of 256 nodes with up to 256 pods per node.
On the Network tab, fill out the following fields:
- Network Provider - Flannel (Default)
- Service CIDR - <IP_ADDRESS>/16 (Default)
- Pod CIDR - <IP_ADDRESS>/16 (Default)
Click Next.
On the Storage Class tab, fill out the following fields:
- Storage Class Name - default-storageclass-Initials
- Prism Element Cluster - Your Nutanix cluster
- Nutanix Cluster Username - admin
- Nutanix Cluster Password - Your password
- Storage Container Name - default-container-xyz
- Reclaim Policy - Delete
- File System - ext4 (Default)
Click Create.
Deployment of the cluster should take approximately 10 minutes. During this time, Karbon is pulling images from public image repositories for the master, etcd, and worker nodes, as well as flannel, the Nutanix Volumes plugin, and any additional Karbon plugins. Support for authenticated proxy and dark site image repositories will be added post-GA.
Filtering VMs for Initials-karbon in Prism Central will display the master, etcd, and worker VMs provisioned by Karbon.
In Prism Element > Storage > Volume Group, Karbon has created the pvc-… Volume Group, used as persistent storage for logging. Karbon leverages the Nutanix Kubernetes Volume Plug-In to present Nutanix Volumes to Kubernetes pods via iSCSI. This allows containers to take advantage of native Nutanix storage capabilities such as thin provisioning, zero suppression, compression, and more.
The Karbon cluster has finished provisioning when the Status of the cluster is Running.
Click on your cluster name (Initials-karbon) to access the Summary Page for your cluster.
Explore this view and note the ability to create and add additional storage classes and persistent storage volumes to the cluster.
Additional persistent storage volumes could be leveraged for use cases such as containerized databases.
You can scale-out your Kubernetes cluster with more worker nodes when needed.
In 15 minutes or less, you have deployed a production-ready Kubernetes cluster with logging (EFK), networking (flannel), and persistent storage services.
Getting Started with Kubectl¶
Kubectl is the command line interface for running commands against Kubernetes clusters. Kubeconfig files contain information about clusters, users, namespaces, and authentication. The kubectl
tool uses kubeconfig files to find and communicate with a Kubernetes cluster.
In this exercise you will use kubectl
to perform basic operations against your newly provisioned Karbon cluster.
Select your Initials-karbon cluster and click Actions > Kubeconfig.
Copy the kubeconfig file you have downloaded to your Docker virtual machine using WinSCP or SCP. With the
centos
user copy the file remotely to~/.kube/config
Note
If installed, you can also use a local instance of
kubectl
. The Docker VM is provided to ensure a consistent experience.Instructions for setting up
kubectl
in Windows and macOS can be found here.From the Docker VM, run the following commands to test
kubectl
:kubectl get nodes
Note
By default,
kubectl
looks like a file namedconfig
in the~/.kube
directory. Other locations can be specified using environment variables or by setting the--kubeconfig
flag.Verify that the output of the last command shows 1 master node and 2 worker nodes as Ready.
Cluster and client version¶
To see the version of the kubernetes client and server run:
kubectl version
Cluster info¶
To see the information of the kubernetes cluster run:.
kubectl cluster-info
This will provide information on where the Kubernetes Master is running and the KubeDNS URL.
Running pods¶
If you are interested in all the pods that are running after the installation of the kubernetes cluster run:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
Deploying an Application¶
Now that you have successfully run commands against your Kubernetes cluster using kubectl
, you are now ready to deploy an application. In this exercise you will be deploying the popular open-source content management system used for websites and blogs, WordPress.
Using your Docker VM create a wordpress directory using the following command:
mkdir ~/wordpress cd ~/wordpress
Kubernetes depends on YAML files to provision applications and define dependencies. YAML files are a human-readable text-based format for specifying configuration information. This application requires two YAML files to be stored in the wordpress directory.
Note
To learn more about Kubernetes application deployment and YAML files, click here.
Using your Docker VM, download the following YAML files for Wordpress and the MySQL deployment used by Wordpress:
wget https://kubernetes.io/examples/application/wordpress/mysql-deployment.yaml wget https://kubernetes.io/examples/application/wordpress/wordpress-deployment.yaml
Open the wordpress-deployment.yaml file with
nano
.nano wordpress-deployment.yaml
Under spec: > type:, change the value from LoadBalancer to NodePort and save the file. This change is required as Karbon does not yet support LoadBalancer.
To save the changes press
CTRL + X
, thenY
, and finally [ENTER]Note
You can learn more about Kubernetes publishing service types here.
Open the mysql-deployment.yaml file and note that it requires an environmental variable to define the MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD as part of deployment. No changes are required to this file.
Exit with no changes pressing
CTRL + X
.Define the secret to be used as the MySQL password by running the following command:
kubectl create secret generic mysql-pass --from-literal=password=Nutanix/4u!
Verify the command returns
secret/mysql-pass created
.You can also verify the secret has been created by running the following command:
kubectl get secrets
Verify mysql-pass appears in the NAME column.
You will now provision the MySQL database by running the following command:
kubectl create -f mysql-deployment.yaml
In addition to the MySQL service, the mysql-deployment.yaml also specifies that a persistent volume be created as part of the deployment. You can get additional details about the volume by running:
kubectl get pvc
You will note that the STORAGECLASS matches the default-storageclass-Initials provisioned by Karbon.
The volume also appears in Karbon under Initials-karbon > Volume.
To view all running pods on the cluster, which should currently only be your Wordpress MySQL database, run the following command:
kubectl get pods
To complete the application, deploy Wordpress by running the following command:
kubectl create -f wordpress-deployment.yaml
Verify both pods are displayed as Running using
kubectl get pods
.
Accessing Wordpress¶
You have confirmed the Wordpress application and its MySQL database are running. Configuration of Wordpress is done via web interface, but to access the web interface you must first determine the IP addresses of our worker VMs and the port on which the pod is running.
The IP addresses of all cluster VMs is returned by the
kubectl describe nodes
command. You can run this and search for the InternalIP of any of your worker VMs, or run the following command to return only the hostnames and IP addresses:kubectl describe nodes | egrep 'Hostname|InternalIP'
To determine the port number of the Wordpress application, run the following command and note the TCP port mapped to port 80:
kubectl get services wordpress
Open http://WORKER-VM-IP:WORDPRESS SERVICE PORT/ in a new browser tab to access to Wordpress installation.
Note
In the example shown, you would browse to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:30163. You environment will have a different IP and port.
Click Continue and fill out the following fields:
- Site Title - Initials’s Karbon Blog
- Username - admin
- Password - nutanix/4u
- Your Email -<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Click Install Wordpress.
After setup completes (a few seconds), click Log In and provide the credentials just configured.
Congratulations! Your Wordpress application and MySQL database setup is complete.
Exploring Logging & Visualization¶
Karbon provides a plug-in architecture to continually add additional functionality on top of vanilla Kubernetes. The firsts plug-ins Karbon provides are an integrated logging services stack called EFK, short for Elasticsearch, fluentd and Kibana; and monitoring and alerting with Prometheus.
Elasticsearch is a real-time, distributed, and scalable search engine which allows for full-text and structured search, as well as analytics. It is commonly used to index and search through large volumes of log data, but can also be used to search many different kinds of documents.
Elasticsearch is commonly deployed alongside Kibana, a powerful data visualization frontend and dashboard for Elasticsearch. Kibana allows you to explore your Elasticsearch log data through a web interface, and build dashboards and queries to quickly answer questions and gain insight into your Kubernetes applications.
Fluentd is a popular data collector that runs on all Kubernetes nodes to tail container log files, filter and transform the log data, and deliver it to the Elasticsearch cluster, where it will be indexed and stored.
Return to the Karbon Console and select your Initials-karbon cluster.
Select Add-on from the sidebar to view and manage available Karbon plugins.
Select Logging to launch the Kibana user interface.
Select Discover from the sidebar and define
*
as the Index Pattern.This wildcard will retrieve all available indices within Elastisearch, including etcd, kubernetes, and systemd.
Click Next Step.
Select @timestamp from the Time Filter field name drop down menu to allow you to sort logging entries by their respective timestamps.
Click Create index pattern.
Select Discover again from the sidebar to view all logs from the Karbon cluster. You can reduce the amount of Kubernetes metadata displayed by adding the log entry under Available Fields.
Advanced Kibana usage, including time series data visualization that can answer questions such as “What is the difference in service error rates between our last 3 application upgrades,” is covered in the Kibana User Guide.
Coming Soon!¶
- Upgrades & Patching
- Non-disruptive Karbon upgrades
- Immutable OS upgrades of all cluster nodes

The image-rendering
property provides a hint to the user agent about how to handle its image rendering.image-rendering
applies to scaled images (and other elements, see below). For example, if the natural size of the image is 100×100px but the page author specifies the dimensions to 200×200px (or 50×50px), then the image will be upscaled (or downscaled) to the new dimensions using the specified algorithm. Scaling may also apply due to user interaction (zooming).

THROUGH airy roads he wings his instant flight
To purer regions of celestial light;
Enlarg'd he sees unnumber'd systems roll,
Beneath him sees the universal whole,
Planets on planets run their destin'd round,
And circling wonders fill the vast profound.
Th' ethereal now, and now th' empyreal skies
With growing splendors strike his wond'ring eyes:
The angels view him with delight unknown,
Press his soft hand, and seat him on his throne;
Then smilling thus: "To this divine abode,
"The seat of saints, of seraphs, and of God,
"Thrice welcome thou." The raptur'd babe replies,
"Thanks to my God, who snatch'd me to the skies,
"E'er vice triumphant had possess'd my heart,
"E'er yet the tempter had beguil d my heart,
"E'er yet on sin's base actions I was bent,
"E'er yet I knew temptation's dire intent;
"E'er yet the lash for horrid crimes I felt,
"E'er vanity had led my way to guilt,
"But, soon arriv'd at my celestial goal,
"Full glories rush on my expanding soul."
Joyful he spoke: exulting cherubs round
Clapt their glad wings, the heav'nly vaults resound.
Say, parents, why this unavailing moan?
Why heave your pensive bosoms with the groan?
To Charles, the happy subject of my song,
A brighter world, and nobler strains belong.
Say would you tear him from the realms above
By thoughtless wishes, and prepost'rous love?
Doth his felicity increase your pain?
Or could you welcome to this world again
The heir of bliss? with a superior air
Methinks he answers with a smile severe,
"Thrones and dominions cannot tempt me there."
But still you cry, "Can we the sigh borbear,
"And still and still must we not pour the tear?
"Our only hope, more dear than vital breath,
"Twelve moons revolv'd, becomes the prey of death;
"Delightful infant, nightly visions give
"Thee to our arms, and we with joy receive,
"We fain would clasp the Phantom to our breast,
"The Phantom flies, and leaves the soul unblest."
To yon bright regions let your faith ascend,
Prepare to join your dearest infant friend
In pleasures without measure, without end.


'Like stealing from your grandmother:' North Okanagan seniors residence suffers break-in
by Ben BulmerThe caretaker of an Armstrong low-income seniors residence is asking for thieves to return stolen tools and maintenance equipment stolen following a break-in last week.
Caretaker Wendy Clark discovered thieves had broken into a maintenance building at the Armstrong seniors complex, Three Links Lodge, Nov. 13. In total, 31 items were stolen including a chainsaw, weed wacker and an air compressor along with various tools and other gardening equipment.
"I just want the stuff back," Clark said. "They can leave it at the back door."
Clark said she was "heartbroken" by the theft and that many seniors living at the complex are in their 80s and 90s.
"That's like stealing from your grandmother," she said.
Three Links Lodge offers low-income seniors housing and is run by B.C. Housing and the Oddfellows Society. Roughly 20 residents call it home.
Clark said thieves tried to pry the door open but were unsuccessful, so they managed to cut through the lock. She estimates the cost of the equipment stolen to be somewhere between $3,000 and $5,000.


Moderator GUide
This is a guide for how to moderate a server using Lemon
🔨 Introduction
Lemon has all the tools that you need to moderate effectively and efficiently. The first thing you'll want to do is check out what prefix Lemon is using on your server. You can always use the @lemon
mention and use @lemon prefix
to see if the server has an custom prefix set (If you can't use the @lemon
callback , ask your admin or server owner if the bot has all the permission it needs to use the moderation commands or just sending message permission in channels) Also check out the [[Moderation Commands section in the Full Command Reference|Commands#-moderation-commands]]
🔨 Moderation Commands
Kick, Ban, Softban, Mute
All of these commands are very straightforward. The syntax for each is c!command <@user/ID> [time] [reason]
. All of these can be used with IDs instead of mentions if you prefer. Muting support time aspects such as seconds (s), minutes (m) and hours (h), and users will automatically be unmuted after the amount of time has passed. The reason is optional but highly recomended as it will be used in both Discord's Audit Log as well as Lemon's Moderation Log.
Examples:
c!kick @inthdark.org Trolling
c!kick<PHONE_NUMBER>28081450 Trolling
c!mute @inthedark.org 10h Talks too much
c!mute<PHONE_NUMBER>28081450 10h Talks too much
c!softban @inthedark.org Toxic
c!softban<PHONE_NUMBER>28081450 Toxic
c!ban @inthedark.org Profanity ban
c!ban<PHONE_NUMBER>28081450 Profanity ban
Cleaning Messages
Lemon's has two types of cleaning command right now, but I'll add more filters soon. One of the cleaning command is c!purge
and the other one is c!purgebot
. You can only delete 2-100 messages with this command, there is no default so you'll have to mention the number every time you want use this command, and also remember that clearing messages older than 14 days is not possible as that is a rule set by discord developers themselves.
There are some parameters for both commands that you can use, multiple parameters can be used at once. Running the command with 2 parameters is the same as running the command twice, each with one of those parameters.
- Purge Command
- Deletes the specified amount of messages from the provided channel. If no channel is given, the messages will be deleted from the current channel. If a member is provided, only their messages will be deleted from the chat.
- Usage:
c!purge [#channel/ID] <@user/ID> [message count] [reason]
- Examples:
c!purge 20 c!purge #general 10 c!purge @inthedark.org 50 c!purge #general @inthedark.org Toxic
- Purgebot Command
- Shifts through the specified amount of messages in the provided channel and deletes all bot commands and messages from Lemon. If no channel is given, the messages will be deleted from the current channel. No more than 100 messages may be deleted through at a time. Messages older than 2 weeks old cannot be deleted.
- Usage:
c!purgebot [channel/ID] <message count> [reason]
- Examples:
c!purgebot 10 c!prgebot #general 10
Managing Warns
Some servers may heavily use the warning system, and others may not. Check with an admin or the server owner on the preference for using or not using the warn system. Check out the [[Warns]] page for a full explanation of how warns work!
Using Slowmode
With Lemon, mods can enable slowmode for 0-59 seconds. If no channel is provided, then slowmode will affect the current channel. Provide a rate of 0 to disable.
* Usage:
c!slowmode [channel/ID] <rate> [reason]
* Examples:
c!slowmode 3
c!slowmode #general 5
🔨 The Moderation Log
The moderation log is a channel that keeps track of all moderator actions taken within the server. This log will track bans, unbans, softbans, mutes, unmutes, timed mutes, kicks, cleaned messages, and warns, even if you don't use Lemon to perform the actions! When possible, make sure to provide reasons for all actions to keep the server organized!
🔨 Reasons
When banning or kicking someone with the Discord client, you're given a box in which to type a reason. Additionally, Lemon's commands support reasons for the actions that you may perform with them. However, sometimes you might not have time to write out a reason, and when the action gets put in the moderation log, it says [no reason specified]
.


This attractive, busy market town offers a very useful port of call. It is tucked into the NE corner of a large bay, just south of the Pointe du Raz.
Position 48° 00'31"W, 04° 32'20"W (port entrance)
If the tide is low, or your stop very brief, then the anchorage off Sainte Evette provides shelter in all but on-shore winds from the east. There are visitors' mooring buoys tucked behind the breakwater, or, in settled weather, an anchorage further out.
The marina in Audierne itself is best entered/exited at HW +/-3hrs and the curve of the channel followed closely, using the two different sets of leading marks. (The upper mark of the 2nd set is in front of the grey storage shed and not easy to spot). There are rocks to port of the channel, which is dredged and which has a steep-to edge on the sta'bd side.
The marina has developed from the original working fishing harbour and still retains its down to earth
atmosphere. Minimum depth is 2m and maximum length is 14m.
The Harbour master is usually about in season and is very helpful with mooring.
Facilities are excellent (code required) and are next to the harbour office. This is accross the road from the marina and to the right (flags outside).
Last updated September 2010.
The visitors' moorings at Audierne.

Cloud Vision V1 API - Class Google::Protobuf::Timestamp (v0.6.4)
Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Vision V1 API class Google::Protobuf::Timestamp.
A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone or local calendar, encoded as a count of seconds and fractions of seconds at nanosecond resolution. The count is relative to an epoch at UTC midnight on January 1, 1970, in the proleptic Gregorian calendar which extends the Gregorian calendar backwards to year one.
All minutes are 60 seconds long. Leap seconds are "smeared" so that no leap second table is needed for interpretation, using a 24-hour linear smear.
The range is from 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z. By restricting to that range, we ensure that we can convert to and from RFC 3339 date strings.
Examples
Example 1: Compute Timestamp from POSIX time()
.
Timestamp timestamp;
timestamp.set_seconds(time(NULL));
timestamp.set_nanos(0);
Example 2: Compute Timestamp from POSIX gettimeofday()
.
struct timeval tv;
gettimeofday(&tv, NULL);
Timestamp timestamp;
timestamp.set_seconds(tv.tv_sec);
timestamp.set_nanos(tv.tv_usec * 1000);
Example 3: Compute Timestamp from Win32 GetSystemTimeAsFileTime()
.
FILETIME ft;
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime(&ft);
UINT64 ticks = (((UINT64)ft.dwHighDateTime) << 32) | ft.dwLowDateTime;
// A Windows tick is 100 nanoseconds. Windows epoch 1601-01-01T00:00:00Z
// is<PHONE_NUMBER>0 seconds before Unix epoch 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
Timestamp timestamp;
timestamp.set_seconds((INT64) ((ticks / 10000000) -<PHONE_NUMBER>0LL));
timestamp.set_nanos((INT32) ((ticks % 10000000) * 100));
Example 4: Compute Timestamp from Java System.currentTimeMillis()
.
long millis = System.currentTimeMillis();
Timestamp timestamp = Timestamp.newBuilder().setSeconds(millis / 1000)
.setNanos((int) ((millis % 1000) * 1000000)).build();
Example 5: Compute Timestamp from Java Instant.now()
.
Instant now = Instant.now();
Timestamp timestamp =
Timestamp.newBuilder().setSeconds(now.getEpochSecond())
.setNanos(now.getNano()).build();
Example 6: Compute Timestamp from current time in Python.
timestamp = Timestamp()
timestamp.GetCurrentTime()
JSON Mapping
In JSON format, the Timestamp type is encoded as a string in the RFC 3339 format. That is, the format is "{year}-{month}-{day}T{hour}:{min}:{sec}[.{frac_sec}]Z" where {year} is always expressed using four digits while {month}, {day}, {hour}, {min}, and {sec} are zero-padded to two digits each. The fractional seconds, which can go up to 9 digits (i.e. up to 1 nanosecond resolution), are optional. The "Z" suffix indicates the timezone ("UTC"); the timezone is required. A proto3 JSON serializer should always use UTC (as indicated by "Z") when printing the Timestamp type and a proto3 JSON parser should be able to accept both UTC and other timezones (as indicated by an offset).
For example, "2017-01-15T01:30:15.01Z" encodes 15.01 seconds past 01:30 UTC on January 15, 2017.
In JavaScript, one can convert a Date object to this format using the
standard
toISOString()
method. In Python, a standard datetime.datetime
object can be converted
to this format using
strftime
with
the time format spec '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ'. Likewise, in Java, one can use
the Joda Time's ISODateTimeFormat.dateTime()
to obtain a formatter capable of generating timestamps in this format.

Photo of Leaping Rabbits Takes Home Top Prize at Nature Photographer of the Year 2019
by DL CadeThe winners of this year’s Nature Photographer of the Year were revealed today. Selected from over 14,000 images submitted by photographers from 73 different countries (a new record for the competition) these photos represent some of the best landscape and wildlife photography from around the world.
The contest, now in its fourth year, is hosted by Nature Talks, the organization behind the annual Nature Talks Photo Festival in the Netherlands. Each year since 2016, the contest has chosen a total of 11 winners in categories such as Birds, Mammals, Plants & Fungi, and Landscapes, one of whom is also named that year’s overall “Nature Photographer of the Year.”
The title of Nature Photographer of the Year 2019 went to Hungarian photographer Csaba Daróczi for this incredibly timed black-and-white photo of two rabbits jumping in the air:
The photo shows two white rabbits that were jumping around, fighting with the rest of their “colony” over food in Kiskunsag, Hungary. According to the judges, it was selected for its stunning combination of “atmosphere, timing, beautiful light, perfect sharpness and composition.”
“This photo is proof of the fact that you don’t have to get an extremely rare or extraordinary species in front of your camera to be able to create a great nature photo,” says Keith Wilson, chair of the NPOTY jury. “If you have a vision and a creative mind you can create a great shot close to home.”
Daróczi, who also took top prize in the Black & White category, takes home the ultimate title (and 3,000 Euro in prize money), but his photo is far from the only stunner to emerge from the contest. Scroll down to see the rest of this year’s category winners.
Youth Winner – Giacomo Redaelli
Birds Winner – Peeter Cech
Mammals Winner – Stefano Quirini
Other Animals Winner – Norbert Kaszás
Plants and Fungi Winner – David Frutos Egea

This guide will explain how you can use MIDI System Exclusive Messages (SysEx) to achieve Real-Time control of all editable parameters of the Roland Juno 106, Alpha Juno 1, 2 and MKS-50. The MIDI SysEx information can be recorded, transmitted and replayed just like MIDI controller data, giving you totally automated and controllable filtering and editing and parameter editing for these classic synths!
All you need is a Hardware or Software Sequencer that is capable of outputting SysEx MIDI messages. Sequencers like Performer, Cubase, Logic, and hardware like the Roland PG-300 Controller have this ability. In the following guide, you will get the info you need to set-up Continuous Controllers or Mixer Maps that you can use within your Sequencing program to provide, record and playback real-time editing.
The Juno 106 will transmit SysEx messages through its MIDI Out port when the MIDI Function switch is set to position 3 (III). Any slider moves or buttons pushed on the Juno 106's front panel will be transmitted and can be recorded into a sequencer - and played back! Any on-board editing you transmit and record into your sequencer will always be re-applied to the Juno 106 during playback.
However you may want to create your own programmer/controller for your Juno 106 using your Sequencer program. Simply set-up a Continuous Controller that will send SysEx MIDI Messages to your Juno 106 and use the following code-chart to create controllers for the Juno-106 parameters you want to edit.
I. First you must set the Juno 106's Midi Mode switch to III (on the rear).
II. THESE ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGE:
F0 [Exclusive] 41 [Roland ID#] 32 [Function Type] 0N [N+1=MIDI channel (N=0-15, Chan 1=00)] XX [Parameter number (0-09, 0A-0F)] see below YY [Variable value (0-127)] Should be left at 00 F7 [End of Exclusive]
III. HERE'S AN EXAMPLE:
A SysEx message for editing the VCF Resonance Parameter:
F0 41 32 00 06 00 F7
"06" Is the SysEx code for the VCF Resonance parameter
| CODE (XX) | EDIT PARAMETER | COMPLETE SYSEX CODE |

| 0B | ENV attack rate | F0 41 32 00 0B 00 F7 |
| 0C | ENV decay rate | F0 41 32 00 0C 00 F7 |
| 0D | ENV sustain level | F0 41 32 00 0D 00 F7 |
| 0E | ENV release rate | F0 41 32 00 0E 00 F7 |
| 0F | Sub level | F0 41 32 00 0F 00 F7 |
The Alpha Juno 1, 2 and MKS-50 transmit system exclusive midi messages through the Midi Out port whenever you do any editing via the alpha-dial or press any buttons. These SysEx messages can be recorded into a sequencer and played back! And any editing you've recorded will always be re-applied during playback and can be further fine-tuned.
You may be able to create your own external programmer/controllers for your Juno using your Sequencer or computer. Simply create a Controller that will send System Exclusive MIDI Messages to your Juno and use the following codes to create controllers for the parameters of your choice!
I. First scroll through the Midi menu and turn Exclusive Messages ON.
II. THESE ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM EXCLUSIVE MESSAGE:

Before starting the interview:
Let’s design a URL Shortening service like TinyURL. This service will provide short aliases redirecting to long URLs.
Functional requirements
Non-functional requirements
Extended requirements
Capacity estimation and constraints
The system is read-heavy: lots of redirections but relatively few new URL shortenings. Assume a 100:1 ratio. Assume 500M new URL shortenings per month, which means 50B reads per month.
System APIs
createURL(api_dev_key, original_url, custom_alias=None, user_name=None, expire_date=None) -> Optional(string)
deleteURL(api_dev_key, url_key)
The API dev key is used to prevent abuse (e.g creating too many URLs).
Database Design
Observations:
Two tables needed:
URL
| Primary key | Hash |
| CreationDate | |
| OriginalURL | |
| UserID |
User
| Primary key | UserID |
| Name | |
| CreationDate | |
| LastLogin |
Since we need to store billions of rows and we have no relationship the clear answer is a NoSQL store like: DynamoDB, Cassandra or Riak. It also scales horizontally much better.
Basic System Design and Algorithm
First approach: Encode the actual URL
We can encode the URL by hashing the URL and encoding. The encoding can be done in either base 32 or base 64. A key of lenght 6 using base 64 encoding gives 64^6 possible strings, which should be more than enough. Using MD5 algorithm as an hash function, a 128-bit hash value is produced. After encoding in base 64, the resulting string will contain more than 21 characters. The reason is that each base64 character encodes 6 bit: (128bit) / (6bit/char) > 21 chars.
However, we decided on 6 characters. If we cut the string, we risk duplication. Moreoer, if two users enter the same URL, then they get the same shortened URL.
We could append an increasing sequence of numbers to each input. However: overflow!
What about appending the userid? If userid is not logged in, then they need to keep retrying until they get a uniqueness key.
Second approach: Generate keys offline Suppose we have a standalone Key generation service (KGS) that generates random six-letter strings beforehand and stores them in a database. Whenever we want to shorten a URL, we can take one already-generated key and use it.
As soon as a key is used, It should be marked in the database to ensure that It is not used again. But, there could be race condition: if multiple servers are reading keys councurrently, then there could be a scenario where two or more servers try to read the same key from the database. We could use two tables to store keys: one for keys that are not used yet, the other for used keys. We can keep some keys in memory to quickly provide them whenever we need them. As soon as the keys are in memory, they are marked as used. That way, there are no race conditions. If the server dies while having those keys in memory, that is still acceptable. We also need to make sure the server synchronize (or get a lock on) the data structure holding the keys before removing keys from it and giving them to a server. This server is a point of failure, we can have a standby replica that can take over and provide keys.
Observation: we need to impose size limit on a custom aias to ensure a consistent URL database.
Data partition and replication We need a partitioning scheme that would divide and store our data into different DB servers.
Solution 1: Range based partitioning. We can store URLs in separate partition based on hash key’s first letter. This can lead to unbalanced partitions.
Solution 2: Hash-based partitioning. We take an hash of the object we are storing and partition based on that. We should use consisten hashing to make sure that we don’t go to unbalanced partitions.
Cache To optmize, we can cache URLs that are frequently accessed.

Guidance
Technical information for headteachers, teachers, governors and local authorities about scaled scores and the expected standard for the 2016 tests.
This guidance will be updated for the 2017 test cycle in July.
The national curriculum tests at the end of key stage 2 (KS2) (often referred to as SATs) are administered in mathematics, English reading and English grammar punctuation and spelling.
We have used scaled scores to report the results of these tests in 2016.
A pupil’s scaled score is based on their raw score. The raw score is the total number of marks a pupil scores in a test, based on the number of questions they answered correctly.
We develop tests each year to the same specification, but because the questions must be different, the difficulty of tests may vary slightly each year. This means we need to convert the raw scores pupils get in the tests into a scaled score, to ensure we can make accurate comparisons of pupil performance over time. Every scaled score will represent the same level of attainment for a pupil each year, so a pupil who scores 103, for example, in 2016 will have demonstrated the same attainment as a pupil who scores 103 in 2017.
A scaled score of 100 will always represent the expected standard on the test. Pupils scoring 100 or more will have met the expected standard on the test.
In 2016, panels of teachers set the raw score required to meet the expected standard on each test.
The raw scores for each test are calculated by adding the scores from each paper for a subject.
| Test | Number of marks available in the paper | Total number of marks available for the test – highest raw score |
|---|---|---|
| English reading | 50 marks | 50 marks |
| English grammar, punctuation and spelling Paper 1: questions | 50 marks | 70 marks |
| English grammar, punctuation and spelling Paper 2: spelling | 20 marks | |
| Mathematics Paper 1: arithmetic | 40 marks | 110 marks |
| Mathematics Paper 2: reasoning | 35 marks | |
| Mathematics Paper 3: reasoning | 35 marks |
The KS2 tests are externally marked and marks are returned to schools via the return of results section of NCA tools . To receive a scaled score, each component of the test must have been sat by the pupil and the papers marked. For those pupils, schools will receive:
Schools can use the test conversion tables ( PDF , 326KB , 4 pages ) to understand the relationship between the raw scores and scaled scores for each test.
The conversion tables show that sometimes 2 or more raw scores convert to the same scaled score. This is because data showed that the attainment of pupils who scored these total marks was not very different.
There are times when it is not possible to achieve a particular scaled score. This is due to the number of questions in the test.
The range of scaled scores available for each KS2 test is the same and will stay the same in future years:
A pupil awarded a scaled score of 100 or more has met the expected standard in each test.
A pupil awarded a scaled score of 99 or less has not met the expected standard in the test.
As tests and teacher assessment (TA) are different forms of assessment, they do not report using the same scale. As a result, there are no scaled score equivalents to the TA concepts of ‘working towards the expected standard’ or ‘working at greater depth within the expected standard’.
If a pupil has not scored enough marks on the test to demonstrate that they have sufficient understanding of the KS2 curriculum for the subject they will not receive a scaled score. The scaled score field for the pupil in the return of results section of NCA tools will be left blank. The outcome of the test for the pupil will be ‘NS’, expected standard not achieved.


A custom Promises/A+ implementation is used in all of Grimwire's async APIs. Most commonly, they are return by local.http.dispatch()
, which fulfills the promise on 2xx and 3xx, and rejects it on 4xx and 5xx.
A promise can be created with or without a value:
var p1 = new local.Promise(); // unfulfilled var p2 = local.promise(); // unfulfilled var p3 = local.promise('foobar'); // fulfilled var p4 = local.promise(p2); // passes through (p3 === p2) var p5 = local.promise(promiseFromOtherLibrary); // wraps ((p4 instanceof local.Promise) === true)
Functions may be chained using then
. Each function will receive the current value as the first parameter, and updates the current value with whatever is returned (including undefined
if no return statement is made).
var myPromise = local.promise(); myPromise.then( function(v) { return v + 1; }, function(err) { // rejection handler, wont get hit this time }) .then(log); promise.fulfill(5); // => logs "6" var myPromise = local.promise(); myPromise.then( function(v) { // success handler, wont get hit this time }, function(err) { console.log(err); }); promise.reject("Oh nooo"); // => logs "Oh nooo"
Functions which throw an error will cause the next promise to be rejected. Subsequent rejection handlers can choose to rethrow to continue rejection, or return a value to indicate normal operation has resumed.
var myPromise = local.promise(); myPromise .then(function(v) { throw "oh nooo"; }) .then(null, function(err) { console.log(err); throw "oh nooo!!!"; }) .then(null, function(err) { console.log(err); return "jk we're fine"; }) .then(log); promise.fulfill(true); // => logs "oh nooo" // => logs "oh nooo!!!" // => logs "jk we're fine"
In addition to then
, you can use succeed
(for non-erroneous values) or fail
(for erroneous values). The first parameter defines the handler function, and subsequent parameters may be provided to be passed into the handler:
function add(v, x) { return v + x; } function subtract(v, x) { return v - x; } function wait(v, t) { var self = this; setTimeout(function() { self.fulfill(v); }, t); } function log(v) { console.log(v); } local.promise(10) .succeed(add, 5) .succeed(wait, 1000) .succeed(subtract, 10) .succeed(log); // => waits 1 second, then logs "5"
Promises may be chained, to allow the fulfillment or rejection of one to be passed on to the other:
var p1 = local.promise(), p2 = local.promise(); p2.then(log, log); p1.chain(p2); p1.fulfill('foobar'); // => logs "foobar"
If a promise is not going to continue the chain, and wants to release the references held by downstream promises, it may call cancel:
mypromise .then(function(canStop) { if (canStop) { // program logic says we're done console.log('stopping'); this.cancel(); } else { return 'foobar'; } }) .then(function(v) { console.log(v); }); mypromise.fulfill(true); // => logs "stopping"
For cases where you need to support the (err, result)
pattern, use cb()
:
require('http').request(options, mypromise.cb);


I have emoncms available on both .org and a Raspberry Pi and the same things occurs on both, so it isn't emoncms.
I have the OKG emonBase and two emonTx , when only one Tx is powered up, emonBase happily transmits the data every 6 seconds to emoncms. (either one, both work fine)
When both Tx are powered up, after a few minutes, emonBase stops sending data, turn either one of the Tx off again and the emonBase resumes sending.
The Tx's are configured as node10 and node11, I have made no modifications to the NanodeRF_multinode sketch (save setting it to 868mHz). Interesting that the sketch says:
#define MYNODE 15
and yet emoncms reports the temperature sensor on the base as node20_1
To try to resolve the data transmission problem, I configured the sleep interval on node11, it's better, however it sitll sometimes stops sending the emonTx data for up to 10 minutes.
emonGLCD is working just fine, and is regularly updated from the emonTx.
emonBase sending no data with multiple emonTx

Cross triggering the Virtual Probe from Veloce provides a means to automatically stop software execution when an event of interest occurs in the hardware, even when the hardware event is not something directly visible to the software or CPU. This makes it easy to see where the code is, and inspect the software state, when the given hardware event occurs.
Triggering in this way is accomplished by setting a Veloce trigger on the hardware event of interest. When the event occurs, the trigger matures, and emulation halts so the hardware state can be inspected from the Veloce environment. At this point the software environment is frozen because the entire emulation, including the CPU, is paused.
To look at the software side, resume emulation with a debug request signal raised at the CPU. This stops software execution just like a breakpoint would, and the software debugger is then able to inspect the state of the software.
It is also possible to automatically resume emulation with the CPU in debug mode if the goal is to simply stop the software and not inspect hardware waveforms or state information
See the Veloce Virtual Probe User Guide for specific steps and examples.

Legendary Card: Miner
After the Battle Ram nerf, Miner Poison Control decks are starting to have a comeback in the meta.
His ability to pop-up anywhere in the arena makes him a great chip-damaging card. And he has become a more versatile card since last couple of months appearing in Giant Poison decks forming a new Beatdown-Control Hybrid deck type which is surprisingly pretty strong.
You can play him in a fast, lone cycle form along with Poison or couple it with Battle Ram and Hog Rider as well as Bandit to make a Control-chip decks. He is also strong in 3M pump swarm decks as it can act as a tank for the Muskets and the high DPS swarms.
Like said above, he is good in Beatdown-Control hybrids when played with P.E.K.K.A. and Lava Hound and not only Giant.
All of this makes Miner one of the most balanced cards in the game.

Tone.CtrlMarkov represents a Markov Chain where each call to Tone.CtrlMarkov.next will move to the next state. If the next state choice is an array, the next state is chosen randomly with even probability for all of the choices. For a weighted probability of the next choices, pass in an object with "state" and "probability" attributes. The probabilities will be normalized and then chosen. If no next options are given for the current state, the state will stay there.
An object with the state names as the keys and the next state(s) as the values.
var chain = new Tone.CtrlMarkov({
"beginning" : ["end", "middle"],
"middle" : "end"
});
chain.value = "beginning";
chain.next(); //returns "end" or "middle" with 50% probability
var chain = new Tone.CtrlMarkov({
"beginning" : [{"value" : "end", "probability" : 0.8},
{"value" : "middle", "probability" : 0.2}],
"middle" : "end"
});
chain.value = "beginning";
chain.next(); //returns "end" with 80% probability or "middle" with 20%.
The Markov values with states as the keys and next state(s) as the values.
The current state of the Markov values. The next state will be evaluated and returned when Tone.CtrlMarkov.next is invoked.
Returns the next state of the Markov values.

Rule.
Learned APP Mr. K.P. Rawal waives service of rule for respondent State.
The petitioner seeks quashing of complaint Annexure-A. Complaint is with respect to pollution allegedly caused by original accused no.1 which was a private limited company. Rest of the accused were stated to be the Directors of the said company. The petitioners are original accused No. 4 and 5. In the complaint it is stated inter-alia that accused No.1 is a private limited company, accused No. 2 to 5 are its partners and administrators. They are therefore, co-accused and are jointly and severally responsible for the offence.
Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the company was situated at Anand. The petitioners from beginning were residing permanently at Mumbai. They were in no way connected with the day to day affairs of the company or in any manner responsible for the conduct of the affairs of the company. From the complaint, it can be seen that there is nothing to show that the present petitioners were in-charge of or responsible tot he company for conduct of the business.
Counsel for the Pollution Control Board however, relied on Section 47 of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, which reads as follows :
47. Offences by companies.(1)Where an offence under this Act has been committed by a company, every person, who at the time the offence was committed was in charge of, and was responsible to the company for the conduct of, the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any such person liable to any punishment provided in this Act if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge or that he exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence.
(2)Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section(1), where an offence under this Act has been committed by a company and it is proved that the offence has been committed with the consent or connivance of, or is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of the company, such director, manager, secretary or other officer shall also be deemed to be guilty of that offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
It can thus be seen that language used in the above provision of passing any vicarious liability of offence committed by the company is on material aspect identical to language used in Section 141 of the Negotiable Instrument Act, which reads as follows :
41. Offences by companies.(1)If the person committing an offence under Section 138 is a company, every person who, at the time the offence was committed, was in charge of, and was responsible to the company for the conduct of, the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly:
Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any person liable to punishment if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge, or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence:
[Provided further that where a person is nominated as a Director of a company by virtue of his holding any officer or employment in the Central Government or State Government or a financial corporation owned or controlled by the Central Government or the State Government, as the case may be, he shall not be liable for prosecution under this Chapter.
(2)Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section(1), where any offence under this Act has been committed by a company and it is proved that the offence has been committed with the consent or connivance of, or is attributable to, any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of the company, such director, manager, secretary or other officer shall also be deemed to be guilty of that offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
Relying on the decision in case of Saroj Kumar Poddar v. State (NCT of Delhi) and another reported in (2007) 3 Supreme Court Cases 693, and decision in case of K.K. Ahuja v. V.K. Vora and another reported in (2009) 10 Supreme Court Cases 48, it can be seen that in absence of any allegation that petitioners were in-charge of and were responsible to the company for its day to day functioning, their mere status of being the Directors of the company would not make them responsible for any alleged act of the company particularly, when it is pointed out that factory of the company was situated at Anand and petitioners were all through out residing at Mumbai. Additionally, I also find that complaint was filed way back in the year 1997, summons was served to the petitioner only recently. It is stated that the company has also gone sick and principal accused who was in-charge of the company has died.
Considering all these aspects of the matter, complaint at Annexure-A qua the present petitioners is quashed.
Petition is disposed of . Rule made absolute accordingly.
