Consequences ### Deependra Dhakal ### 2019/04/21 (updated: 2020-11-06) --- background-image: \url('./images/pomato_hybrid_graft.jpg') class: inverse, center, middle # Hybridization --- ## Meaning - *Hybrid* : Any sort of sexual or somatic combination of genetically more or less differentiated parental cells, individuals, or taxa; specifically, an individual plant from a cross between parents of differing genotypes; any heterozygote represents dissimilar alleles at a given locus; or a hybrid graft gene. - Hybrid breeding (syn *heterosis breeding*): Involves the transfer of genes from one source or genetic background to another, or combining genes from different sources that complement each other, with the hope that the new cultivar will combine the best of both parents. - The term hybridization is prone to ambiguity. The concept of a cross between individuals from two distinct groups is superficially simple, but uncertainty arises in defining *distinct groups*. - Harrison, 1990 defined hybridization as a cross between individuals from separate populations that differ in one or more heritable traits. - In flowering species, *sexual hybridization* is the commonly occuring mode of hybridization. - Natural hybridization - Artifical hybridization --- # Applications of crossing in plant breeding - Gene transfer - Recombination - Break undesirable - For heterosis - For maintenance of breeding - For maintenance of diversity in a gene pool - For evaluation of parental lines - For genetic analysis --- class: inverse, center, middle # Artificial hybridization --- ## Preconditions - Parents should belong to same or closely related species - Parents should together supply the critical genes needed to accomplish the breeding objective. - One parent is usually designated female. Whereas some breeding methods may not require this designation, breeders usually select one parent to be female and the other a male (pollen source). - The female parent usually needs some special preparation (Emasculation in complete flowers) - Pollen is often physically or manually transferred ## Pollination control techniques - Mechanical control - Chemical control - Genetic control --- ## Flower and flowering issues in hybridization - Flower health and induction - Synchronization of flowering - Selecting female parent and suitable flowers ## Considerations of pollination - Successful pollination depends on pollen maturity, quality (freshness), and timing of pollination, among other factor. - Considerations: - Collection and storage - Application of pollen - Tagging after pollination --- class: inverse, center, middle # Genetic issues in hybridization --- ## Immediate effect - Expression of recessive lethal gene - Hybrid necrosis - Heterosis - Transgressive segregation - Genome-plastome incompatibility --- ## Subsequent effects

 --- ## Subsequent effects (...continued) - Gene recombination in F2 - Factors that determine the number of gene recombinations that would be observed in an F2 population: - The number of gene loci for which the parents in a cross differ. - The number of alleles at each locus. - The linkage of the gene loci. - ... --- # Types of populations generated through hybridization ## Divergent crossing - Single cross - Three way cross - Double cross - Diallel cross ---

The basic types of crosses used by plant breeders. Some are divergent (a) while others are convergent (b)

 --- ## Convergent cross - Backcross ## Wide cross --- ## Bridge cross

An example of a bridge cross. To hybridize Italian ryegrass and tall fescue, the breeder may firstly make an intermediary cross with meadowgrass, followed chromosome doubling.

Leaning on the rail, Mat watched the walled town of Aringill come closer as the sweeps worked the Gray Gull in toward the long, tarred-timber docks. Protected by high stone wing-walls that thrust out into the river, those docks swarmed with people, and more were leaving the ships of various sizes that lay tied all along them. Some of the people pushed barrows, or pulled sledges or tall-wheeled carts, all piled high with furniture and chests lashed in place, but most carried bundles on their backs, if that. Not everyone bustled. Many men and women huddled together uncertainly, and children clung crying to their legs. Soldiers in red coats and shiny breastplates kept trying to make them move off the docks into the town, but most seemed too frightened to move.
Mat turned and shaded his eyes to peer at the river they were leaving. The Erinin was busier here than he had seen it south of Tar Valon, with nearly a dozen vessels under way in sight, ranging from a long, sharp-prowed splinter darting upriver against the current, pushed by two triangular sails, to a wide, bluff-bowed ship with square sails, still wallowing along well to the north.
Nearly half the ships he could see had nothing to do with the river trade, though. Two broad-beamed craft with empty decks were lumbering across the river, toward a smaller town on the far bank, while three others labored back toward Aringill, their decks packed with people like barrels of fish. The setting sun, still its own height above the horizon, shadowed a banner flying over that other town. That shore was Cairhien, but he did not need to see the banner to know it was the White Lion of Andor. There had been talk enough in the few Andoran villages where the Gray Gull had stopped briefly.
He shook his head. Politics did not interest him. As long as they don’t try telling me again I’m an Andorman just because of some map.  Following orders. Light! With a shiver, he turned back to Aringill. Barefoot men on the Gray Gull were readying ropes to toss to others on the docks.
Captain Mallia was eyeing him from back by the tiller. The fellow had never given up his efforts to ingratiate himself with them, his attempts to learn what their important mission was. Mat had finally shown him the sealed letter and told him that he was carrying it from the Daughter-Heir to the Queen. A personal message from a daughter to her mother; no more. Mallia had only seemed to hear the words “Queen Morgase.”
Mat grinned to himself. A deep coat pocket held two purses fatter than when he had boarded the vessel; he had enough loose coin to more than fill another two. His luck had not been quite so good as on that first, strange night when the dice and everything else had seemed to go crazy, but still it was good enough. After the third night, Mallia had given up trying to show his friendliness by gambling, but his money chest was already lighter by then. It would be lighter still after Aringill. Mallia had need to restock his food—Mat glanced at the people milling on the docks—if he could, here, at any price.
The grin faded as his thoughts went back to the letter. A little work with a hot knife blade, and the golden lily seal had been lifted. He had found nothing: Elayne was studying hard and making progress and eager to learn. She was a dutiful daughter, and the Amyrlin Seat had punished her for running away and told her never to speak of it again, so her mother would understand why she could not say more. She said she had been raised to the Accepted, and was that not wonderful, so soon, and she was being trusted with greater duties now, and would have to leave Tar Valon for just a short time on the service of the Amyrlin herself. Her mother was not to worry.
It was all very well for her to tell Morgase not to worry. It was him she had landed in the soup kettle. This silly letter had to be the reason those men had come after him, but even Thom had been able to make nothing of it, though he muttered about “ciphers” and “codes” and “the Game of Houses.”
Mat had the letter safe in the lining of his coat, now, its seal replaced, and he was willing to bet no one would ever know.  I told you I’d deliver it, Nynaeve, and I bloody will, no matter who tries to stop me. Even so, he would have words to say the next time he saw those three irritating women—If I ever do. Light, I never thought of that—words he did not think they would enjoy hearing.
As the crewmen hurled their lines onto the dock, Thom came on deck, his instrument cases on his back and his bundle in one hand. Even with a limp he strutted to the rail, giving the tail of his cloak little flourishes to make the colored patches flutter, and blowing out his long, white mustaches importantly.
“Nobody is watching, Thom,” Mat said. “I don’t think they would even see a gleeman unless he had food in his hands.”
Thom stared at the docks. “Light! I had heard it was bad, but I did not expect this! Poor fools. Half of them look as if they are starving. It may cost us one of your purses for a room tonight. And the other for a meal, if you intend to keep on the way you’ve been going. Nearly made me ill to watch you.
Mat only smiled at him.
Mallia came stumping down the deck, tugging the point of his beard, as the Gray Gull was warped into her berth. Crewmen ran to set a gangplank, and Sanor stood guard on it, heavy arms folded across his chest, in case the throng on the docks tried to board. None of them did.
“So you will be leaving me here,” Mallia told Mat. The captain’s smile was not as ready as it might have been. “Are you certain there is nothing I can do to help further? Burn my soul, I never saw such a rabble! Those soldiers ought to clear the docks—with the sword, if need be!—so decent traders can do business. Perhaps Sanor can make a path through this scum to your inn for you.”
So you’ll know where we are staying?  “I had thought of eating before I went ashore, and maybe a game of dice to pass the time.” Mallia’s face went white. “But I think I would like a steady floor under me for my next meal. So we will leave you now, Captain. It has been an enjoyable voyage.”
While relief still battled consternation on the captain’s face, Mat picked up his things from the deck and, using the quarterstaff as a walking stick, made his way to the gangplank with Thom. Mallia followed as far as the head of the plank, murmuring regrets at their departure that jumped from real to insincere and back again. Mat was certain the man hated losing a chance to ingratiate himself with his High Lord Samon by learning details of a pact between Andor and Tar Valon.
As Mat and the gleeman pushed through the crowds, Thom muttered, “I know the man is far from likable, but why do you have to keep taunting him?  The hunger had simply been gone one morning, to his great relief. It had been as if Tar Valon had loosed its last hold on him. “I’ve been throwing most of it over the side, and a hard job it was making sure nobody saw.” Among these drawn faces, many of them children’s, it did not seem so funny anymore. “Mallia deserved taunting. What about that ship, yesterday? The one that was stuck on a mudbank or something. He could have stopped to help, but he would not go near it however much they shouted.” There was a woman with long, dark hair ahead who might have been pretty if she had not looked so bone weary, peering into the face of every man who passed her as if looking for someone; a boy little taller than her waist and two girls shorter clung to her, all crying. “All that talk about river brigands and traps. It didn’t look like any trap to me.”
Thom dodged around a high-wheeled cart—a cage holding two squealing pigs was lashed atop the canvas-covered mound—and nearly tripped over a sledge being pulled by a man and a woman.”And you go out of your way to help people, do you? Strange how that has escaped my eye.”
“I’ll help anyone who can pay,” Mat said firmly. “Only fools in stories do something for nothing.”
The two girls sobbed into their mother’s skirts while the boy fought his tears. The woman’s deep-set eyes rested on Mat for a moment, studying his face, before drifting on; they looked as if she wished she could weep, too. On impulse he dug a fistful of loose coins out of his pocket without looking to see what they were and pressed them into her hand. She gave a start of surprise, stared at the gold and silver in her hand with incomprehension that quickly turned to a smile, and opened her mouth, tears of gratitude filling her eyes.
“Buy them something to eat,” he said quickly, and hurried on before she could speak. He noticed Thom looking at him. “What are you gawking at? Coin comes easily as long as I can find somebody who likes to dice.” Thom nodded slowly, but Mat was not sure he had gotten his point across. Bloody children’s crying was getting on my nerves, that’s all. Fool gleeman will probably expect me to give gold away to every waif that comes along, now. Fool! For an uncomfortable moment, he was not certain whether the last had been meant for Thom or himself.
Taking himself in hand, he avoided looking at any face long enough to really see it until he found the one he wanted, at the foot of the dock. The helmetless soldier in red coat and breastplate, urging people into the town, had the grizzled look of a squadman, an experienced leader of ten or so. Squinting into the setting sun, he reminded Mat of Uno, though he had both his eyes. He looked almost as tired as the people he was chivying. “Move along,” he was shouting in a hoarse voice.  Move along. Into the town with you.”
 “Your pardon, Captain, but can you tell me where I might find a decent inn? And a stable with good horses to sell. We have a long way to go, come morning.”
The soldier eyed him up and down, examined Thom and his gleeman’s cloak, then shifted back to Mat. “Captain, is it? Well, boy, you’ll have the Dark One’s own luck if you find a stable to sleep in. Most of this lot are sleeping under hedges. And if you find a horse that hasn’t been slaughtered for cooking, you’ll likely have to fight the man who owns it to make him sell.”
“Eating horse!” Thom muttered disgustedly. “Has it really become that bad on this side of the river? Isn’t the Queen sending food?”
“It is bad, gleeman.” The soldier looked as if he wanted to spit. “They’re crossing over faster than the mills can grind flour, or wagons carry foodstuffs from the farms. Well, it will not last much longer. The order has come down. Tomorrow, we stop letting anyone across, and if they try, we send them back.” He scowled at the people milling on the dock as if it were all their fault, then brought the same hard look to bear on Mat. “You are taking up space, traveler. Move along.” His voice rose to a shout again, directed at everyone within hearing. “Move along!  Move along!”
Mat and Thom joined the thin stream of people, carts, and sledges flowing toward the gates in the town wall, and into Aringill.
The main streets were paved with flat gray stones, but they were crowded with so many people that it was difficult to see the stones under your own boots. Most appeared to be moving aimlessly, with nowhere to go, and those who had given up squatted dejectedly along the sides of the street, the lucky ones with bundled belongings in front of them or some cherished possession clutched in their arms. Mat saw three men holding clocks, and a dozen or more with silver goblets or platters. The women held children to their breasts, mainly. A babble filled the air, a low, wordless hum of worry. He pushed through the crowd with a frown on his face, searching for the sign that would mark an inn. The buildings were every sort, wood and brick and stone all cheek by jowl, with roofs of tile, or slate, or thatch.
“It does not sound like Morgase,” Thom said after a time, half to himself. His bushy eyebrows were pulled down like a white arrow pointing to his nose.
“What does not sound like her?” Mat asked absently.
“Stopping the crossings. Sending people back. She always had a temper like lightning, but she always had a soft heart, too, for anyone poor or hungry.” He shook his head.
Mat saw a sign, then—the Riverman, it said, and showed a barefoot, shirtless fellow doing a jig—and turned that way, forcing an angle across the flow with the quarterstaff. “Well, it had to be her. Who else could it be? Forget Morgase, Thom. We’ve a long way to Caemlyn, yet. First let us see how much gold it takes to buy a bed for the night.”
The common room of The Riverman looked as crowded as the street outside, and when the innkeeper heard what Mat wanted, he laughed till his chins shook. “I am sleeping four to a bed, now. If my own mother came to me, I could not give her a blanket by the fire.”
“As you must have noticed,” Thom said, his voice taking on that echoing quality, “I am a gleeman. Surely you can find at least pallets in a corner in return for me entertaining your patrons with stories and juggling, eating of fire, and sleight of hand.” The innkeeper laughed in his face.
As Mat pulled him back into the street, Thom growled in his normal voice, “You never gave me a chance to ask after his stable. Surely I could have gotten us a place in the hayloft, at least.”
“I have slept in enough stables and barns since leaving Emond’s Field,” Mat told him, “and under enough bushes, too. I want a bed.”
But at the next four inns he found, the innkeeper gave him the same answer as the first; the last two almost threw him out bodily when he offered to dice for a bed. And when the owner of the fifth told him he could not give a pallet to the Queen herself—this at a place called The Good Queen—he sighed and asked, “What about your stable, then? Surely we can bed down in the hayloft for a price.”
“My stable is for horses,” the round-faced man said, “not that many are left in the city.” He had been polishing a silver cup; now he opened one door of a shallow cupboard standing on top of a deep, drawered chest and placed it inside with others; none of them matched. A tooled-leather dice cup sat atop the chest, just beyond the arc of the cupboard’s doors. “I do not put people in there to frighten the horses, and perhaps make off with them. Those who pay me for stabling their animals want them well tended, and I’ve two of my own in there, besides. There are no beds in my stable for you.”
Mat eyed the dice cup thoughtfully. He pulled a gold Andoran crown out of his pocket and set it atop the chest. The next coin was a silver Tar Valon mark, then a gold one, and a gold Tairen crown. The innkeeper looked at the coins and licked his plump lips. Mat added two silver Illianer marks and another gold Andoran crown, and looked at the round-faced man. The innkeeper hesitated. Mat reached for the coins. The innkeeper’s hand reached them first.
“Perhaps just the two of you would not disturb the horses too greatly.”
Mat smiled at him. “Speaking of horses, what price for those two of yours? With saddles and bridles, of course.”
“I will not sell my horses,” the man said, clutching the coins to his chest.
Mat picked up the dice cup and rattled it. “Twice as much again against the horses, saddles, and bridles.” He shook his coat pocket to make the loose coins rattle, too, to show he had more to cover the wager. “My one toss against the best of your two.” He almost laughed as greed lit the innkeeper’s entire face.
When Mat walked into the stable, the first thing he did was check along the half-dozen stalls with horses in them for a pair of brown geldings. They were nondescript animals, but they were his. They needed currying badly, but otherwise they seemed in good condition, especially considering that all the stablemen but one had run off. The innkeeper had been extremely disparaging of their complaints that they could no longer live on what he paid them, and he seemed to think it a crime that the one man who remained had actually had the audacity to say he was going home to bed just because he was tired from doing three men’s work.
“Five sixes,” Thom muttered behind him. The looks he cast around the stable did not seem as enthralled as they might, seeing that he had suggested it in the first place. Dust motes shone in the last light of the setting sun coming through the big doors, and the ropes used to hoist hay bales hung like vines from pulleys in the roof beams. The hayloft was dim in the gloom above; “When he threw four sixes and a five on his second toss, he thought you’d lost for sure, and so did I. You have not been winning every toss of late.”
“I win enough.” Mat was just as relieved not to be winning every throw. Luck was one thing, but remembering that night still sent shivers down his back. Still, for one moment as he shook that dice cup, he had all but known what the pips would be. As he tossed the quarterstaff up into the loft, thunder crashed in the sky. He scrambled up the ladder, calling back to Thom. “This was a good idea. I’d think you would be happy to be in out of the rain tonight.”
Most of the hay was in bales stacked against the outer walls, but there was more than enough loose for him to make a bed with his cloak over it. Thom appeared at the top of the ladder as he was pulling two loaves of bread and a wedge of green-veined cheese from his leather script. The innkeeper—his name was Jeral Florry—had parted with the food for merely enough coin to have bought one of those horses in more peaceful days. They ate while rain began drumming on the roof, washing the food down with water from their waterbottles—Florry had had no wine at any price—and when they were done, Thom dug out his tinderbox and thumbed his long-stemmed pipe full of tabac and settled back for a smoke.
Mat was lying on his back, staring at the shadowed roof and wondering if the rain would break before morning—he wanted that letter out of his hands as quickly as possible—when he heard an axle creak into the stable. Rolling to the edge of the loft, he peered down. There was enough dusk left for him to see.
A slender woman was straightening from the shafts of the high-wheeled cart she had just dragged in out of the rain, pulling off her cloak and muttering to herself as she shook the wet from it. Her hair was plaited in a multitude of small braids, and her silk dress—he thought it was a pale green—was elaborately embroidered across her breasts. The dress had been fine, once, but now it was tattered and stained. She knuckled her back, still talking to herself in a low voice, and hurried to the stable doors to peer out into the rain. Just as hurriedly, she ducked out to pull the big doors shut, enclosing the stable in darkness. There was a rustling below, a clink and a slosh, and suddenly a small flare of light bloomed into a lantern in her hands. She looked around, found a hook on a stall post, hung the lantern, and went to dig under the roped canvas covering her cart.
“She did that quickly,” Thom said softly around his pipe. “She could have set fire to the stable striking flint and steel in the dark like that.”
The woman came out with the end of a loaf of bread, which she gnawed as if it were hard and her hunger did not care.
“Is there any of that cheese left?” Mat whispered. Thom shook his head.
The woman began sniffing at the air, and Mat realized she probably smelled Thom’s tabac smoke. He was about to stand and announce their presence when one of the stable doors opened again.
The woman crouched, ready to run, as four men walked in out of the rain, doffing their wet cloaks to reveal pale coats with wide sleeves and embroidery across the chest, and baggy breeches embroidered down the legs. Their clothes might be fancy, but they were all big men, and their faces were grim.
“So, Aludra,” a man in a yellow coat said, “you did not run so fast as you thought to, eh?” He had a strange accent, to Mat’s ear.
“Tammuz,” the woman said as if it were a curse.  She had the same odd way of speaking as the man. “Do you think that I am glad to see you?”
The one called Tammuz laughed.  Had you merely gone away, you could have lived a long life in some quiet place. But you could not forget the secrets in your head, eh? Did you believe we would not hear that you try to earn your way making what it is the right of the Guild alone to make?” Suddenly there was a knife in his hand. “It will be a great pleasure to cut your throat, Aludra.”
Mat was not even aware that he had stood up until one of the doubled ropes dangling from the ceiling was in his hands and he had launched himself out of the loft.
He only had time for that one frantic thought, and then he was plowing through the cloaked men, sending them toppling like pins in a game of bowls. The ropes slipped through his hands, and he fell, tumbling across the straw-covered floor himself, coins spilling from his pockets, to end up against a stall. When he scrambled to his feet, the four men were already rising, too. And they all had knives in their hands, now. Light-blind fool! Burn me! Burn me!
“Mat!”
He looked up, and Thom tossed his quarterstaff down to him. He snagged it out of the air just in time to knock the blade out of Tammuz’s fist and thump him a sharp crack on the side of the head. The man crumpled, but the other three were right behind, and for a hectic moment Mat had all he could do with a whirling staff to keep knife blades away from him, rapping knees and ankles and ribs until he could land a good blow on a head. When the last man fell, he stared at them a moment, then raised his glare to the woman. “Did you have to choose this stable to be murdered in?”
She slipped a slim-bladed dagger back into a sheath at her belt. “I would have helped you, but I feared that you might mistake me for one of these great buffoons if I came near with steel in my hand. And I chose this stable because the rain is wet and so am I, and no one was watching this place.”
She was older than he had thought, at least ten or fifteen years older than he, but pretty still, with large, dark eyes and a small, full mouth that seemed on the point of a pout. Or getting ready for a kiss. He gave a small laugh and leaned on his staff. “Well, what is done is done. I suppose you were not trying to bring us trouble.”
Thom was climbing down from the loft, awkwardly because of his leg, and Aludra looked from him to Mat. The gleeman had put his cloak back on; he seldom let anyone see him without it, especially for the first time. “This is like a story,” she said. “I am rescued by a gleeman and a young hero”—she frowned at the men sprawled on the stable floor—“from these whose mothers were pigs!”
“Why did they want to kill you?” Mat asked. “He said something about secrets.”
“The secrets,” Thom said in very nearly his performing voice, “of making fireworks, unless I miss my guess.  He made a courtly bow with an elaborate swirl of his cloak. “I am Thom Merrilin, a gleeman, as you have seen.” Almost as an afterthought, he added, “And this is Mat, a young man with a knack for finding trouble.”
“I was an Illuminator,” Aludra said stiffly, “but this great pig Tammuz, he ruined a performance for the King of Cairhien, and nearly he destroyed the chapter house, too. But me, I was Mistress of the Chapter House, so it was me that the Guild held responsible.” Her voice became defensive. “I do not tell the secrets of the Guild, no matter what that Tammuz says, but I will not let myself starve while I can make fireworks. I am no more in the Guild, so the laws of the Guild, they do not apply to me now.”
“Galldrian,” Thom said, sounding almost as wooden as she had. “Well, he is a dead king now, and he’ll see no more fireworks.”
“The Guild,” she said, sounding tired, “they all but blame me for this war in Cairhien, as if that one night of disaster, it made Galldrian die.” Thom grimaced. “It seems I can no longer remain here,” she went on. “Tammuz and these other oxen, they will wake soon. Perhaps this time they will tell the soldiers that I stole what I have made.” She eyed Thom and then Mat, frowning in thought, and seemed to reach a decision. “I must reward you, but I have no money. However, I have something that is perhaps as good as gold. Maybe better. We shall see what you think.”
Mat exchanged glances with Thom as she went to root under the canvas covering her cart. I’ll help anyone who can pay. He thought a speculative light had appeared in Thom’s blue eyes.
Aludra separated one bundle from a number like it, a short roll of heavy, oiled cloth almost as fat as her arms would go around. Setting it down on the straw, she undid the binding cords and unrolled the cloth across the floor. Four rows of pockets ran along the length of it, the pockets in each row larger than those in the one before. Each pocket held a wax-coated cylinder of paper just large enough for its end, trailing a dark cord, to stick out.
“Fireworks,” Thom said. “I knew it. Aludra, you must not do this. You can sell those for enough to live ten days or more at a good inn, and eat well every day. Well, anywhere but here in Aringill.”
Kneeling beside the long strip of oiled cloth, she sniffed at him. “Be quiet, you old one you.” She made it sound not unkindly. “I am not allowed to show gratitude? You think I would give you this if I had no more for selling? Attend me closely.”
Mat squatted beside her, fascinated. He had seen fireworks twice in his life. Peddlers had brought them to Emond’s Field, at great expense to the Village Council. When he was ten, he had tried to cut one open to see what was inside, and had caused an uproar. Bran al’Vere, the Mayor, had cuffed him; Doral Barran, who had been the Wisdom then, had switched him; and his father had strapped him when he got home. Nobody in the village would talk to him for a month, except for Rand and Perrin, and they mostly told him what a fool he had been. He reached out to touch one of the cylinders. Aludra slapped his hand away.
“Attend me first, I say! These smallest, they will make a loud bang, but no more.” They were the size of his little finger. “These next, they make a bang and a bright light. The next, they make the bang, and the light, and many sparkles. The last”—these were fatter than his thumb—“make all of those things, but the sparkles, they are many colors. Almost like a nightflower, but not up in the sky.”
Nightflower? Mat thought.
“You must be especially careful of these. You see, the fuse, it is very long.” She saw his blank look, and waggled one of the long, dark cords at him. “This, this!”
“Where you put the fire,” he muttered. “I know that.” Thom made a sound in his throat and stroked his mustaches with a knuckle as if covering a smile.
Aludra grunted. “Where you put the fire. Yes. Do not stay close to any of them, but these largest, you run away from when you light the fuse. You comprehend me?” She briskly rolled up the long cloth. “You may sell these if you wish, or use them. Remember, you must never put this close to fire. Fire will make them all explode. So many as this at once, it could destroy a house, maybe.” She hesitated over retying the cords, then added, “And there is one last thing, which you may have heard. Do not cut open any of these, as some great fools do to see what is inside. Sometimes when what is inside touches air, it will explode without the need of fire. You can lose fingers, or even a hand.”
“I’ve heard that,” Mat said dryly.
She frowned at him as if wondering whether he meant to do it anyway, then finally pushed the rolled bundle toward him. “Here. I must go now, before these sons of goats awaken.” Glancing at the still open door, and the rain falling in the night beyond, she sighed. “Perhaps I will find somewhere else dry. I think I will go toward Lugard, tomorrow. These pigs, they will expect me to go to Caemlyn, yes?”
It was even further to Lugard than to Caemlyn, and Mat suddenly remembered that hard end of bread. And she had said she had no money. The fireworks would buy no meals until she found someone who could afford them. She had never even looked at the gold and silver that had spilled from his pockets when he fell; it glittered and sparkled among the straw in the lantern light. Ah, Light, I cannot let her go hungry, I suppose. He scooped up as much as he could reach quickly.
“Uh . . . Aludra? I have plenty, you can see. I thought perhaps . . . ” He held out the coins toward her. “I can always win more.”
She paused with her cloak half around her shoulders, then smiled at Thom as she swept it the rest of the way on. “He is young yet, eh?”
“He is young,” Thom agreed. “And not half so hard as he would like to think himself. Sometimes he is not.”
Mat glowered at both of them and lowered his hand.
Lifting the shafts of her cart, Aludra got it turned around and started for the door, giving Tammuz a kick in the ribs as she passed. He groaned groggily.
“I would like to know something, Aludra,” Thom said. “How did you light that lantern so quickly in the dark?”
Stopping short of the door, she smiled over her shoulder at him. “You wish me to tell you all of my secrets? I am grateful, but I am not in love. That secret, not even the Guild knows, for it is my discovery alone. I will tell you this much. When I know how to make it work properly, and work only when I want it to, sticks will make my fortune for me.” Throwing her weight against the shafts, she pulled the cart into the rain, and the night swallowed her.
“Sticks?” Mat said. He wondered if she might not be a little strange in the head.
Tammuz groaned again.
“Best we do the same as she, boy,” Thom said. “Else it’s a choice between slitting four throats and maybe spending the next few days explaining ourselves to the Queen’s Guards. These look the sort who’d set them on us out of spite.  One of Tammuz’s companions twitched as if coming to, and muttered something incomprehensible.
By the time they had gathered everything and saddled the horses, Tammuz was up on his hands and knees with his head hanging, and the others were stirring and groaning, too.
Swinging into his saddle, Mat stared at the rain outside the open door, falling harder than ever.  “Thom, if I ever look like acting the hero again, you kick me.”
“And what would you have done differently?”
 Even with oiled cloth, a little more protection from the rain could not hurt. “Just kick me!” He booted his horse in the ribs and galloped into the rainy night.


Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1999) 1/2 * A movie review by Serdar Yegulalp Copyright 1999 by Serdar Yegulalp
"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" is one of the worst movies by a director of significance that I have ever seen. It's shameful that such an amazing book could be transformed -- by an excellent director -- into a movie of such appalling emptiness and shapelessness. It's not even a good lousy movie. More below the belt than that I can't get.
Ostensibly drawn from Hunter S. Thompson's seminal work of the same name, "Fear and Loathing" gives us Raoul (Johnny Depp, unrecognizable and damn near incoherent with that cigarette holder wedged in his mouth) and Gonzo (Benicio del Toro) as drug-addled journalists who have allegedly been sent to cover a bike race out near Vegas. They stick around after that to also examine (if that's the word) a convention of district attorneys, and take drugs. Lots of drugs.
I quote: "We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. But the only thing that worried me was the ether. There is nothing more irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we would be getting into that rotten stuff sooner or later."
Raoul and Gonzo consume most of this chemical smorgasbord through the course of the movie, and the audience is forced to watch the results. At first there is the hint of something wicked going on, like when they try to con their way into a Debbie Reynolds performance by giving the usher a toot, but then the same pattern is repeated, without any real variation or insight, until we are left with something that cannot even be watched for more than a few minutes at a time without cringing.
What we have is not so much a movie about drugs as it is a movie that simply contains drugs. There's no point of view, no insight, and not a hint of wit or genuine examination of character. There is just Raoul and Gonzo getting into one stoned mess after another. Cheech and Chong used to make movies like this, too, but the saving grace was that they were intermittently funny. "Fear and Loathing" isn't.
Much noise has been made about "Fear and Loathing" being a dissection of "Straight" America during the dog-end of the Sixties. Horse manure.  But Raol and Duke are scarcely any less assholes themselves, so what's the point?
I like Gilliam as a director; every now and then he pulls himself together for a really virtuoso movie like "12 Monkeys." Here, he was apparently drafted in after the original director, Alex Cox, left; I suspect Cox, whose movies include the amazing "Repo Man", would have been able to REALLY make something scary and anarchic out of this material. In Gilliam's hands, what we have is barely even intelligible as a movie.

18 jihadists killed by Burkina Faso police
by Agency ReportBurkina Faso authorities said 18 “terrorists” were killed when they attempted to attack a police base in the north of the country, where security services have been struggling to quell a rising jihadist revolt.
“The attackers were repulsed thanks to a prompt response,” police said in a statement after Wednesday’s assault in Arbinda, Soum Province.
One police officer was killed and seven officers were injured, the statement added.
Weapons, motorcycles and GPS equipment belonging to the jihadists were recovered from the scene.
It comes after the Burkina Faso army said it had killed 32 “terrorists” last week in two operations in the north of the impoverished and politically fragile Sahel country.
The country’s badly equipped, poorly trained and underfunded security forces have been unable to stem jihadist violence, which has intensified throughout 2019 to become almost daily.
Attacks have been claimed by a range of jihadist groups, including Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State.
The Sahel region, including Burkina Faso’s neighbours Mali and Niger, has been afflicted by the violence despite the presence of the regional G5 Sahel force as well as troops from the US and former colonial power France.

Razor Guide to HtmlPage v3.0
Properties To Change Title, Description, Keywords
HtmlPage.Description
(get/set) - Read/Write the page description. v1.1HtmlPage.Keywords
(get/set) - Read/Write the page keywords. v1.1HtmlPage.Title
(get/set) - Read/Write the page title. v1.1
Commands to Add Headers
HtmlPage.AddMeta(name, content)
- Adds a meta-tag with this name and content to the header. v1.1HtmlPage.AddJsonLd(...)
create a JSON-LD (linked data) header see also google guideline and Schema.org. v1.1HtmlPage.AddToJsonLd(string)
- uses a string, which should already be a valid jsonHtmlPage.AddToJsonLd(object)
- will JSON-serialize whatever you pass into it. For now, we recommend usingDictionary<string, object>
to prepare the data you want to add.
HtmlPage.AddOpenGraph(property, content)
add an open-graph tag to the header for facebook, twitter and co. v1.1HtmlPage.AddToHead(string)
- Add anything to the<head>
section of the page. The string should usually contain a meta, link or script tag. v1.1HtmlPage.AddIcon(path)
add an icon (favicon) to the page v2.1...AddIcon(path, rel: string, size: int, type: string)
- all optional parameters to specify things likerel
: the rel-text, default is 'icon'. common terms are also 'shortcut icon' or 'apple-touch-iconsize
: will be used in size='#x#' tag; only relevant if you want to provide multiple separate sizestype
: optional type, if not provided, will be auto-detected from known types or remain empty
HtmlPage.AddIconSet(path)
add a few icon headers to the page according to best practices v2.1...AddIconSet(path, favicon: bool|string, rels: IEnumerable<string>, sizes: IEnumerable<int>)
- all optional parameters to specify things likefavicon
: boolean - auto-add a default favicon tag (or not)favicon
: string - use this url for the favicon tagrels
: list/array of rel-texts (a separate icon tag will be generated for each rel)sizes
: list/array of sizes (a separate icon tag will be generate for each size)
note: if you supplyrels
andsizes
, then all combinations of icon tags will be added
note: you can't specify the type, as each one could be different - the auto-detection will take care of this for you
Performance Optimizations
The commands above are available for comfortable use. Internally, each command finds the page object and manipulates it. If you would like to optimize the code a bit, the GetPage()
command gives you an object with the same features, but will run a few percent faster. So you can also do this:
var p = HtmlPage.GetPage();
p.Title = "...";
p.Keywords = "...;


Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) regularly publishes data on how customers use the system. The dataset we use provides mean passenger counts between stations, by time period, for May 2012. Commuters and WMATA administrators can use this data to answer questions such as:
We have used a combination of a Chord Diargam and Bar charts for data exploration. Based on the selected time period through radio buttons, the sorted arc represents the total outgoing traffic per station. Mouseover both arcs and sorted chords provides further information. The bar chart below the chord is controlled by mouseover the arcs. For a selected station in chord the bar chart provides ridership counts from/to all other stations
A quick interaction with the visualization shows that during Weekdays AM Peak hours, Farragut West and Farragut North get the most incoming traffic from almost all other stations
In this small multiples layout we are exploring the pattern of busyness of stations across all the time periods. User can filter data based on the lines
At a glance we can see that even though the total traffic volume per station is different, but the shape of the traffix distribution is similar across stations
This paired bar chart shows ridership quantities by station, sorted with the highest-traffic stations at the top. Selecting a station or stations adjusts the data in the corresponding chart. For instance, Union Station is the second highest in terms of both entries and exits. However, the highest connecting station to Union Station is Farragut North, not one of the other top five stations. This paired bar chart allows the user to explore the relationships between stations due to its interactive data binding. As with the Migration Map, data points can be selected individually or by selecting a pointer option
The following map of the subway system provides an interactive version of the familiar subway map, showing revenue data on mouse-overs. This map takes advantage of Tableau’s custom mapping features, using relative coordinates to map data points onto a .png, rastor graphics background map. This map allows the user to explore the raw revenue data, with the familiar map as a point of reference.
The following map uses the same data as the Rail Map, but instead projects it onto a standard geographical background, using revenue and ridership quantity to generate a pseudo-heatmap. Operating on the assumption that riders entering a particular station originate from locations evenly dispersed around that station, this map quickly shows which geographical regions of the city account for subway revenue at different time periods.
This map creates a side-by-side comparison of entry and exit ridership, respectively. The two maps are bound, so selecting data on one map updates the corresponding map and shows that data subset, until un-selected. Data may be selected by clicking on the station or by select-ing a pointer option
Cycling through just the time periods shows that a majority of riders tend to enter from the outskirts of the city and ride into the center in the mornings, followed by limited midday traffic. Then, riders tend to go from the center of the city back to the outskirts at the end of the day, with a similar by much smaller amount doing so in the evening.

We will now ask you to read three brief articles about child development. Please read them carefully at your own pace. After you finish reading all three articles, we will ask you questions about them.
Ours is an age of pedagogy. Anxious parents instruct their children more and more, at younger and younger ages, until they're reading books to babies in the womb. They pressure teachers to make kindergartens and nurseries more like schools. So does the law—the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act explicitly urged more direct instruction in federally funded preschools.
There are skeptics, of course, including some parents, many preschool teachers, and even a few policy-makers. Shouldn't very young children be allowed to explore, inquire, play, and discover, they ask? Perhaps direct instruction can help children learn specific facts and skills, but what about curiosity and creativity—abilities that are even more important for learning in the long run?
Developmental scientists like me explore the basic science of learning by designing controlled experiments. We might start by saying: Suppose we gave a group of 4-year-olds exactly the same problems and only varied on whether we taught them directly or encouraged them to figure it out for themselves? Would they learn different things and develop different solutions?
In one study, MIT professor Laura Schulz, her graduate student Elizabeth Bonawitz, and their colleagues looked at how 4-year-olds learned about a new toy with four tubes. Each tube could do something interesting: If you pulled on one tube it squeaked, if you looked inside another tube you found a hidden mirror, and so on. For one group of children, the experimenter said: "I just found this toy!" As she brought out the toy, she pulled the first tube, as if by accident, and it squeaked. She acted surprised ("Huh! Did you see that? Let me try to do that!") and pulled the tube again to make it squeak a second time. With the other children, the experimenter acted more like a teacher. She said, "I'm going to show you how my toy works. Watch this!" and deliberately made the tube squeak. Then she left both groups of children alone to play with the toy.
All of the children pulled the first tube to make it squeak. The question was whether they would also learn about the other things the toy could do. The children from the first group played with the toy longer and discovered more of its "hidden" features than those in the second group. In other words, direct instruction made the children less curious and less likely to discover new information.
This provides scientific support for the intuitions many teachers have had all along: Direct instruction really can limit young children's learning. Teaching is a very effective way to get children to learn something specific—this tube squeaks, say, or a squish then a press then a pull causes the music to play. But it also makes children less likely to discover unexpected information and to draw unexpected conclusions.
Why might children behave this way? Adults often assume that most learning is the result of teaching and that exploratory, spontaneous learning is unusual. But actually, spontaneous learning is more fundamental. It's this kind of learning, in fact, that allows kids to learn from teachers in the first place.
Some researchers argue that learning from teachers first requires you to learn about teachers. For example, if you know how teachers work, you tend to assume that they are trying to be informative. When the teacher in the tube-toy experiment doesn't go looking for hidden features inside the tubes, the learner unconsciously thinks: "She's a teacher. If there were something interesting in there, she would have showed it to me." These assumptions lead children to narrow in, and to consider just the specific information a teacher provides. Without a teacher present, children look for a much wider range of information and consider a greater range of options.
The first time a baby reaches for an object isn’t on most parents’ checklist of significant, or even particularly adorable, milestones. But a new study suggests that the act of reaching is a crucial part of a child’s development that, when mastered early, can lead to better motor skills, attention spans, and even vocabularies later on.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh were interested in the effects of different types of reach-training on infants’ development. They instructed 25 mothers of three-month-olds to engage with their children on reach-related activities for ten minutes a day over the course of two weeks. Some of the mothers were given Velcro mittens for the babies to wear, as well as Velcroed toys for them to grab. The remaining mothers were also given mittens and toys, but without the Velcro. The children who wore the Velcro mittens were more likely to establish contact, whether accidentally or on purpose, with the toys. This, the researchers hypothesized, created an incentive for them to continue reaching.
When the children reached 15 months, the researchers recorded them playing with a bead-maze toy and used a frame-by-frame coding software to track the children’s visual and physical engagement with it. They also had parents fill out a survey in which they rated their child’s temperament. They discovered that the babies who had done the reach-training with the Velcro mittens and toys had more advanced motor skills and longer attention spans than those who did not, after researchers accounted for any differences in grasping abilities before the training.
Psychologists call these types of results a “developmental cascade,” meaning that the early adoption of one skill can lead to the learning of a number of other skills and therefore affect the child’s overall long-term development. In this case, the act of reaching teaches children to focus and interact with world around her or him. That interaction can lead to more verbal attention from her or his parents, which is crucial for language development.
Fans of “Got Your Nose” take note: Unexpected experiences that violate infants' innate knowledge of the world, like a ball appearing to roll through a solid wall, stimulate interest and help them figure out where to focus their learning efforts. The discovery not only shows that very young babies already have sophisticated expectations, but that the ones who experience surprises learn more efficiently than those who don't.
“Our research shows these surprising events are special opportunities to learn,” said cognitive psychologist Aimee E. Stahl of Johns Hopkins University. “If there's a mismatch between what you predicted should happen and what you actually observed, that's a special opportunity to revise the knowledge that you have and learn something new.”
To test the idea, Stahl and co-author Lisa Feigenson showed a group of 11-month-olds a series of expected and unexpected events. A ball or toy car, for example, rolled down an incline and was either stopped by a solid wall or appeared to pass through it. Similarly, a ball or car could roll into a gap in a track and fall to the ground, or it might appear to “magically” pass over it and keep going.
When given a choice, the infants touched, explored and played with the objects that defied their expectations much more often than they selected those that had behaved normally. And like budding scientists, the infants tested those objects for the specific behavior that had surprised them. When a toy car appeared to pass through a wall, the infants banged it to be sure it was solid. When it appeared to roll over an open gap, they picked it up and dropped it to be sure it would fall.
“It's really specific behavior, and it's remarkably sophisticated,” Stahl notes. “It's not that they just want to explore an object because it did something surprising. It's what we'd call hypothesis testing, like scientists do all the time, and babies seem to be doing the same thing. They are testing hypotheses to try and get an explanation for how that object behaved in a really strange way.”
The results appear to demonstrate that babies use surprising events to guide their cognitive growth in a world already awash with stimuli. “There's an overwhelming quantity of input in the environment,” Stahl says. “How does anybody, let alone a baby with comparably limited cognitive resources, figure out what they should pay attention to or learn about versus what they should ignore? I think our results show that the knowledge they are born with appears to guide what you should learn about or seek more information about in the future.”

Darksiders Genesis trailer shows new gameplay and upgrade system
by Aran SuddiA brand new trailer for Darksiders Genesis has been released by Airship Syndicate and THQ Nordic which shows the abilities and a system called creature cores. Players can play either as War or Strife through the campaign in the game and each has different abilities. As enemies are killed creature cores are dropped which allows for both characters to unlock new abilities including spawning hellhounds, increasing attack power, and adding lava trails to weapons.
Darksiders Genesis is the first game in the series that allows for co-op as players can work together with Strife and War. Both characters have special attacks which turns the characters temporarily into larger creatures that deal more damage. The story itself is set before the events of the first Darksiders game so the apocalypse hasn’t been triggered just yet.
Darksiders Genesis will be available on December 5th for PC and Google Stadia, while a console release will follow on February 14th, 2020.

In machine learning we are often interested in selecting the best hypothesis (h) given data (d).In a classification problem, our hypothesis (h) may be the class to assign for a new data instance (d). One of the easiest ways of selecting the most probable hypothesis given the data that we have that we can use as our prior knowledge about the problem. Bayes’ Theorem provides a way that we can calculate the probability of a hypothesis given our prior knowledge.
Bayes’ Theorem is stated as: P(h|d) = (P(d|h) * P(h)) / P(d) Where
After calculating the posterior probability for a number of different hypotheses, you can select the hypothesis with the highest probability. This is the maximum probable hypothesis and may formally be called the maximum a posteriori (MAP) hypothesis.

He wanted the app to be as simple and smooth as possible, so that people don't feel dejected at any point of their experience.


Sky News Pulls Down KQ Stowaway Story As Man Found In Prison
by WycliffeBritish media Sky News has pulled down the Kenya Airways stowaway story.
A spot check by this writer on the YouTube and Sky News website links to the story showed that the content no longer exists.
The story, done by Africa Correspondent John Sparks identified the stowaway, who fell from a KQ’s landing gear moments before touching down at London’s Heathrow Airport in June, as Paul Manyasi.
Read: I Am Alive, Cedric Isaac Shivonje, The Alleged KQ Stowaway Emerges
Sparks reported that the man was an employee of Colnet, a company that offers cleaning services at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
Both Colnet and the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) denied the reports saying no such employee existed on JKIA register.
However, it has now been established that the photos used by the media are those of a man identified as Cedric Shivonje, a remandee at Kamiti Prison.
In a recent interview with Nation, Shivonje stated that he is not the stowaway.

The man, charged of defilement, said the photos used in the story were taken from his Facebook page.
“I am alive, as you can see,” said Shivonje.
Shivonje further stated that he is 25-years-old and not 29 as reported by Sky News.
Shivonje’s father who was in the company of the Nation team had earlier dismissed the reports that his son was dead.
The man identified as Isaac Betti was filmed in the British media’s story confirming that the bag and the shoes recovered by London’s Metropolitan Police were owned by his son.
In the Nation story, Betti said the Sky News team gave him Ksh20,000 after the interview. The man couldn’t, however, explain the intention of the journalist when he gave him the money.


Sahi - Web Automation and Test Tool

Scripting
About Sahi scriptVariables
Sahi APIs
Functions
About Sahi script
While Sahi scripts can easily be recorded, as a project grows in size, the scripts may have to be more logically organized into functions and split into multiple files. The following section gives more details on the Sahi Script and the rules to follow. Sahi script is based on Javascript. The constructs of javascript, like functions, variables, loops, conditional statements etc. are all available in Sahi script
But the script is parsed and transformed slightly in the Sahi proxy server before it reaches the browser.
Details of how Sahi script executes is available here.
All calls to Scheduler Functions (like _click, _setValue etc.),
are transformed into strings and added to an array.
They are executed later, sequentially, but with a slight delay between each call.
Example:
_setValue(_textbox("name"), "Kamlesh");
will be parsed and scheduled for execution later,
But
var $x = 10;
will be executed immediately on every page load.
Rules for variable usage.
- Variables which are used as parameters to Sahi APIs should start with a $ (dollar) sign.
- $ Variables passed to Sahi APIs can only represent string and numeric values.
- Operations like $i++ or $i-- should not be performed inside the API call.
- For storing and retrieving properties of accessors, functions _getGlobal() and _setGlobal() should be used.
Variables which are used as parameters to Sahi APIs should start with a $ (dollar) sign.
eg.
var $name = "Kamlesh"; // Right way _setValue(_textbox("name1"), $name); // Right way $name = "Raman"; // Right way _setValue(_textbox("name2"), $name); // Right way
is the right way to use variables.
When done the wrong way, i.e., without $ prefix,
var nameWithoutDollar = "Kamlesh"; // Wrong way _setValue(_textbox("name1"), nameWithoutDollar); // Wrong way nameWithoutDollar = "Raman"; // Wrong way _setValue(_textbox("name2"), nameWithoutDollar); // Wrong way
This is wrong, and will not work correctly.
While execution with nameWithoutDollar, both the _setValue calls will set the value to "Raman"!
This happens because the code gets converted to:
var nameWithoutDollar = "Kamlesh"; sahiAdd("sahi_setValue(sahi_textbox(\"name1\"), nameWithoutDollar)", "aaTest.sah : 2") nameWithoutDollar = "Raman"; sahiAdd("sahi_setValue(sahi_textbox(\"name2\"), nameWithoutDollar)", "aaTest.sah : 4")
Notice that the 2nd and 4th lines actually schedule the strings for later execution using sahiAdd().
So the execution order is rather like:
var nameWithoutDollar = "Kamlesh"; nameWithoutDollar = "Raman"; // Some delay later sahi_setValue(sahi_textbox("name1"), nameWithoutDollar); // Some delay later sahi_setValue(sahi_textbox("name2"), nameWithoutDollar);
So when these eventually execute, the variable nameWithoutDollar, if available will contain the reassigned value of "Raman".
Also read Why do variables need to be prefixed with a dollar($) sign? and Scheduler Functions
Variables which are not used as parameters in Sahi APIs need not start with a dollar.
$ Variables passed to Sahi APIs can only represent string and numeric values.
As mentioned earlier, when variables are used, the transformation of script is as follows:
var $linkText = "Link Test"; _click(_link($linkText));
becomes
var $linkText = "Link Test"; sahiAdd("sahi_click(sahi_link("+s_v($linkText)+"));", "sahi_demo.sah : 4")
Since the statement is transformed into a string, only variables which are strings or numbers are possible.
Operations like $i++ or $i-- should be not be performed inside the API call.
Example
_setValue(_textbox("name"), "Kamlesh"+(++$i));is not valid;
It should be broken into 2 steps, as follows
$i++; _setValue(_textbox("name"), "Kamlesh"+$i);
will work correctly
Function calls.
Rules for function usage.
While the rules are the same as in javascript, a couple of points to note are:- Functions can be scheduled for later execution by using "_call()"
- if a function calls Scheduler Functions from inside it, that function should not itself be scheduled using "_call()"
Functions can be scheduled for later execution by using "_call()"
eg.
function createCustomer(){ __setValue(_text("name"), "cust1"); // double underscores. Not a Scheduler Action Function __setValue(_Password("pwd"), "pwd1"); // double underscores. Not a Scheduler Action Function __click(_submit()); // double underscores. Not a Scheduler Action Function } _call(createCustomer());
This will schedule execution of createCustomer() till later. Note that all the Action Functions in
createCustomer() use __ (double underscores). This means that even though createCustomer() will be
called at its scheduled turn, all these functions inside will be executed immediately when
createCustomer() is executed.
if a function calls Scheduler Functions from inside it, that function should not itself be scheduled using "_call()".
Thus, if the same function existed like this:
function createCustomer(){ _setValue(_text("name"), "cust1"); //Scheduler Action Function _setValue(_Password("pwd"), "pwd1"); //Scheduler Action Function _click(_submit()); //Scheduler Action Function } createCustomer(); // is Right //_call(createCustomer()); // is Wrong

I am graduating at Digital Arts and Entertainment (DAE) as a Game Developer. I'm trained in C++ and C# but even though I'm mainly trained as a programmer I do have basic insights into modelling and creating 2D sprites. I enjoy creating games in Unity but I also have some experience with Unreal Engine blueprints.
In this game the goal is to get the biljard ball to the pocket at the end of the level. Along the way certain obstacles can be found such as bumpers, moving blocks and speed boosts. Various sound effects along with 3 uplifing songs can be heared when playing the game. All the coding and artwork for this game were created by me except for the sound effects and music.
This project showcases a watershader in GLSL for Unity. This water shader has multiple features. The foam strength can be adjusted at runtime along with the foam generated when the water collides with a surface. Also the wave frequency and length can be modified to mimic calm waters or even stormy weather. I learned shading in HLSL and wanted to know how to create custom shaders in Unity (meaning GLSL). This project is my first ever shader in Unity.

Apple hosting special press event in New York to honor best apps and games of 2019
by Edward C. BaigApple is hosting a "special event" on Dec. 2 in New York to honor what the company says are "our favorite apps and games" of 2019. The invitation to the press event showcases the App Store icon and includes the tagline "Loved by millions. Created by the best."
Nothing in the invitation hinted at any new Apple hardware announcements, which would seem to be especially unlikely this late in the year anyhow. But you can never rule out surprises.
Nor is it clear if CEO Tim Cook will attend the festivities, which went out to select media.
Most of Apple's past media events have been held in or around the company's Silicon Valley headquarters, though there have been exceptions.
Apple launched its last few products with relatively minimal fanfare. The company unveiled a new 16-inch MacBook Pro with an improved keyboard only a week ago and AirPods Pro with noise cancellation last month.
