Best Interest Determination Summary
Please summarize the key factors influencing the decision of the team below:
|
|
School: _______________________________ SU / SD: ____________________________
Transportation will be provided by: ______________________________________________
Transportation will be paid for by what agency? ____________________________________
School: _______________________________ SU / SD: ____________________________
Individual responsible for enrolling child in school: _________________________________
If a change in educational placement is needed:
The child’s school transfer date should be determined by the child’s best interest. Does it coincide with a logical juncture in the child’s academic or personal progress (e.g., after an event that is significant to the child or end of the school year)?
Enrollment in the new school should take place without interruption of the child’s education, with all education records provided to the new school. (See interagency guidelines).
DCF Social Worker sends supervisor and District Director all materials shared with local school authorities including the case plan and reasons for denial. DCF District Director shall forward this information to DCF Child Protection and Field Operations Director.
The school district shall contact the AOE State Interagency Coordinator, send the same documentation and reasons for denial.

Enumerable Methods
7/12/15
Map is an enumerable method in Ruby. It's pretty cool, and I will explain it to you below.
Map allows you to run an operation on each item in a block in Ruby and returns the result. Map can do this without changing the original block, if you run it as a non destructive.
[1, 2, 3,].map {|n| n + n}
returns
[2, 4, 6]
See what happened there? You have a new array where each item added itself to itself. You still have your original array in tact, but now your new array displays the result of what happens when you run the operation
If you want to permanently change the items in an array you can use map!
That little exclamation point there means, "Hey, beware, I am going to make changes to this thing!"
[1, 2, 3,].map! {|n| n + n}
returns
[2, 4, 6]
But now, the array that you are working with is not [1, 2, 3] anymore.
The array keeps the values that you map!ed into it, so until you decide to change it again, your array will be [2, 4, 6].
Don't confuse map with each. I did that while coding and it really threw me for a loop (no pun intended.. HA!). It's good to remember that each just returns each item in your block. So
[1,2,3].each
gives you
[1,2,3]
Each doesn't touch anything, it simply tells you what each item is. Map, actually applies an operation to each item and keeps it or not, depending on that destructive !.

quora
Businessmodel of Quora
Customer Segments
Quora has a multi-sided business model, with two interdependent customer segments that are both needed in order to operate: people who have questions and experts who provide answers.
Value Proposition
Quora offers four primary value propositions: accessibility, convenience, risk reduction, brand/status.
The company creates accessibility by enabling anyone to ask questions and have them answered by recognized experts on the topic. Respondents include everyone from politicians to scientists. The site also increases access by providing a Spanish language version. Lastly, Quora allows users to share its content with others by republishing it on their platforms, as long as they give proper credit.
The company offers convenience by making its site easy to use. Its interface is similar to that of other social media platforms. Visitors can follow feeds featuring questions and answers on topics of particular interest, and their homepages aggregate the most recent activity in those feeds. The site also provides a customized list of additional questions based on previous ones asked.
The company reduces risk by maintaining high standards. Users are required to use their real, full name in order to open an account, as a means of preventing abuse by spammers and trolls. Visitors can help control the quality of answers by suggesting edits. Lastly, Quora has created its own algorithm for ranking the quality of answers, similar to the one Google has for search results.
The company has established a powerful brand due to its success. It has more than 100 million monthly unique visitors, with half of those located outside the U.S. It is considered by many to be the go-to website for quality answers from experts. Lastly, its respondents have included many prominent people, such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, and Vinod Khosla.
Channels
Quora’s main channel is its website. The company promotes its offering through its social media pages and participation in conferences.
Customer Relationships
Quora’s customer relationship is primarily of a self-service, automated nature. Customers utilize the service through the main platform while having limited interaction with employees. The company’s website provides answers to frequently asked questions. That said, there is a personal assistance component in the form of e-mail support.
Key Activities
Quora’s business model entails maintaining a robust common platform between two parties: people with questions and experts with answers.
Key Partners
Quora maintains partnerships with media publishers through which the publishers provide answers from Quora experts to readers’ questions on their platforms. Specific partners include TIME, Forbes, The Huffington Post, Slate, VentureBeat, Fortune, Business Insider, and Softpedia.
Quora also maintains a partnership initiative called “Knowledge Prizes”. Through this program, organizations can sponsor a financial prize that is given to respondents who provide the best new answer to a question. The winner of the prize can choose to keep it or donate it to a charity.
Key Resources
Quora’s main resource is its software platform, which includes a proprietary algorithm that ranks answers in terms of quality.
The firm depends on its technology employees to maintain the platform and its customer service staff to provide support.
Lastly, as a relatively new startup it has relied heavily on funding from outside parties, raising $141 million from 11 investors as of April 2014.
Cost Structure
Quora has a cost-driven structure, aiming to minimize expenses through significant automation. Its biggest cost driver is likely sales/marketing, a fixed cost. Other major drivers are in the areas of customer support/operations and research/development, both fixed expenses.
Revenue Streams
Quora did not monetize its website for several years, relying on investments raised in rounds of funding to support operations. However, in April 2016 it announced that it would be introducing third-party ads to the site, creating an advertising revenue stream.
The ads have not yet been implemented, although it conducted a pilot to see what kinds users would be most receptive to. Its first advertisers were Lever, Wealthfront, Uber, and Sunrun.


As discussed throughout this chapter, there is an interaction between consistency and durability. This interaction results in design decisions that you will have to make when designing your HA application. To further illustrate this interaction, this section provides several use cases as examples of how durability and consistency policies are used to reach application design goals.
Out on the Town is a social networking site about restaurants and artistic events. Restaurant locations and an event calendar are available on the site. Members can submit reviews about restaurants and events, and other members can comment on the reviews. Further, members maintain accounts and profiles.
The site experiences most of its traffic as read-only requests. There is heavy read traffic from users who are browsing the site. In addition, periodic write traffic occurs as reviews and comments are submitted to the site.
Based on the site's usage characteristics, the web developers know that it is critical that the site perform well for read traffic. Listings must be readily available, and the site must be able to adapt to changing read loads. However, the site only needs a low threshold for most reads.
While users should not experience a delay when they access the site, it is okay if read requests do not see the very latest reviews. For this reason, when starting read-only transactions for the purpose of viewing reviews, the application specifies a consistency policy of NoConsistencyRequiredPolicy. This provides the highest possible availability for read requests for the Replica nodes, which is the critical thing for this particular site. (Any other consistency policy might cause the node to delay reads while waiting for the node to meet its consistency policy, which would represent an unacceptable loss of availability as it could cost the site lost readership.)
Most write operations are for new user reviews, and for comments on those reviews. For these writes, the application needs only a very lenient durability policy. It is not critical that a new review is immediately available to other users, nor is it critical that they are saved in the event of a catastrophic failure.
Therefore, the application uses the convenience constant Durability.COMMIT_WRITE_NO_SYNC as the system default durability policy. (This is done by specifying the durability policy using EnvironmentMutableConfig.setDurability().) This means:
Write operations on the Master use Durability.SyncPolicy.WRITE_NO_SYNC.
When the write operation is forwarded by the Master to the Replicas, those Replicas use Durability.SyncPolicy.NO_SYNC when they internally update their own databases.
Only a simple majority of the Electable nodes need to acknowledge the update.
Periodically, the calendar of events and restaurant locations are updated. These write operations happen fairly infrequently relative to reviews and comments, but the site's operators deem this information to be of more importance (or valuable) than the reviews and comments. Therefore, they want a stronger guarantee that the information is backed up to all nodes, which is the same thing as saying they want a stronger durability guarantee. Nevertheless, they also want this class of writes to consume few resources.
To achieve this, for transactions performing these kind of writes, the web engineers choose to override the site's default durability guarantee. Instead, they use a durability guarantee that:
Uses Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC for the local synchronization policy. This ensures that the write is fully backed up to the Master's local disk before the transaction commit operation returns.
Uses Durability.SyncPolicy.WRITE_NO_SYNC for the synchronization policy on the Replica nodes. This causes the updates to be written to the disk controller's buffers, but they are not flushed to disk before the Electable Replicas acknowledge the commit operation.
Stays with a simply majority for acknowledgements, which is the same as is used for the default durability policy.
That is, for updating events and restaurant locations, the application uses this durability policy:
useForUpdates = new Durability(Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC, Durability.SyncPolicy.WRITE_NO_SYNC, Durability.ReplicaAckPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY);
If a user makes an account profile change as part of a web session, she will naturally expect to see her changes when she next looks at the profile during the same session. From the user's perspective, this is all one operation: she causes her profile to change and then the profile page is refreshed with her new information.
However, from the application's perspective, there are several things going on:
A write transaction is performed on the Master.
One or more read transactions are performed on the Replica node in use by the user as she updates her profile and then reads back the changes she just made.
To ensure that the session interaction looks intuitively consistent to the user, the application:
Performs the write transaction on the Master.
Saves the CommitToken for the account profile update within the web session.
The Replica node uses a CommitPointConsistencyPolicy policy for the follow-on account profile read(s). To do this, the application uses the CommitToken stored in the previous step when beginning the read transactions. In this way, the Replica will not serve up the new profile page until it has received the profile updates from the Master. From the user's perspective, there may be a delay in her page refresh when she submits her updates. How long of a delay experienced by the user is a function of how busy the site is with write updates, as well as the performance characteristics of the hardware and networks in use by the site.
Bio Labs, Inc is a biotech company that is doing pharmaceutical production which must be audited by government agencies. Production sampling results are logged frequently. All such updates must be guaranteed to be backed up. (In other words, this application requires a very high durability guarantee.)
In addition, there are frequent application defined sample points that represent phases in the production cycle. The application performs monitoring of the production stream. These reads are time critical, so the data must be no older than a specific point in time.
Due to the auditing requirement for the sampling results, the application developers want an extremely high data durability guarantee. Therefore, they require the synchronization policy on both the Master and all Electable Replica nodes to be Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC, which means that the logging data is guaranteed to be written to stable storage before the host returns from its transaction commit.
For an acknowledgement policy, the engineers considered requiring all Electable nodes to acknowledge the commit. This would provide them with the strongest possible durability guarantee. However, they decided against this because it represents a possible loss of write availability for the application; if even one Electable node is shutdown or hidden by a network outage, then the Master would not be able to perform any write operations at all. So instead, the engineers stick with the default acknowledgement policy, which is to require a simple majority of the Electable nodes to acknowledge the commit.
The durability policy, then, looks like this:
resultsDurability = new Durability(Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC, Durability.SyncPolicy.SYNC, Durability.ReplicaAckPolicy.SIMPLE_MAJORITY);
The BioLabs application is required to monitor the production stream. All such monitoring must be of data that is no older than a defined age.
This represents a read activity that has a time concurrency policy requirement. Therefore, whenever the application performs a write (that is, logs sampling results), the application creates a CommitToken. Each of the nodes, then, use this commit token to specify a CommitPointConsistencyPolicy policy when the Environment.beginTransaction() method is called. This guarantees that the application's data monitoring activities will be performed on data that is not out of date or stale.


I have been writing code for the past eight years, because it facinates me. I love to learn and love to overcome challenges and problems with code.

Saturday, December 6th I finally got the opportunity to try DMT, something I had been looking forward to for some time. Through a complex series of coincidences (synchronocities) I was introduced to an urban shaman who was running ayahuasca sessions from his home. I was invited to participate in the next session.
I arrived around 5:15 pm. I was introduced to the my two fellow travelers, then we sat around and discussed the details of the impending session. We would be taking our ayahuasca as pharmahuasca. That is, the components were in capsules for easier ingestion. We took the harmine/harmaline mixture first (400 mg, 266 of which was harmine hcl and 133 mg harmaline hcl). After approximately half an hour, I ingested a capsule containing 75 mg DMT freebase, washing it down with a tea made from 1.5 gm of mushrooms and 1/4 of a lemon. This broke an 18 hour fast.
When I try a new drug I like to do so straight, without anything else to cloud up my perceptions of the drug. However, DMT is a special case, since orally by itself it does nothing. You need a MAO inhibitor to activate the DMT. The harm(al)ine mixture was the MAOI in this case. The mushrooms were added as a tryptamine 'boost'. In truth, the drug I experienced was ayahuasca, and there are as many different ayahuasca brews are there are people brewing it.
As the effects became apparent, I began to feel ill. As is often the case with my mushroom trips, my nausea and the psychedelic effects developed side by side. Our guide was playing music for us. I began to get very deeply involved with the music. It sounded extraordinarily clear.
My nausea continued to increase. I was thinking about a lot of things that I felt were somewhat out of hand in my life. I was focusing on a lot of negative aspects of my life. I was disconcerted, and wasn't much enjoying the trip. I had the thought that this wasn't about enjoyment, but about healing. I felt like the spirit of ayahuasca or DMT was suffusing my being and healing me. It felt like it was raking through my soul, finding all the twisted up clots and breaking them up, integrating them with the rest of my being.
I am amazed at just how much I got done. My mind was moving at incredible speed. I think I examined almost every aspect of my being. Every time I found something out of sorts, I was able to examine it easily and fix it. It was like I was being taught how to operate my mind (and to a lesser degree, my body). It felt like the DMT contained (or unlocked) operating instructions for my brain. When I came across emotionally sensitive spots, I would feel the pain associated with them, but was still able to examine the problem and reach a solution.
The whole time I felt remarkably clear headed. The DMT felt very 'at home' in my brain. It didn't have a lot of psychedelic 'noise' associated with it. It didn't have that tendency to drift into strange tangents like LSD and mushrooms sometimes do. It was similar to, but different than the clarity I experience on 2CB.
About an hour or so into it, I puked.  While I was throwing up, I wasn't thinking about anything but my stomach. I was busy being sick for a while. When I finished, my guide was there to hand me a tissue and take my bucket away.
 Soon afterwards, I was able to move away from all the negativity that had been the focus of the first part of my trip. I moved on to other areas. My thoughts were very fluid, flowing, and easy. I was able to look deeply into any aspect of whatever I was thinking about. I was able to pull out and examine my relationships from many different angles. I feel like I escaped my expectations and was able to look at things very clearly. This allowed me to resolve a lot of inner turmoil. It also felt like a decompression from the stress that had been mounting for the last few weeks.
This trip felt totally sacred. I was made aware of the importance of integrating the sacred with every aspect of life. I suddenly realized how far I had to go to make this real. It was humbling.
The experience was humbling in many ways, actually. It didn't so much flatten my ego as it deflated it. I saw I was becoming full of myself, and was able to take steps to correct this tendency. I also saw that healing and growth are ongoing processes, never finished.
I felt compelled to speak and make noise. I didn't, not wanting to disturb the others present, or interfere with the music, which was really awesome. I enjoyed the music (mostly Indian classical and electronic) greatly, but in the future I will have to try it without music, for comparison. I will likely explore the desire to make noise in the future as well.
My visuals were deep and complex. By thinking about various things I was able to visualize them very well. I would think about something I was doing, and see the results of this action. It was like 'If you keep doing this, then this will happen'. That was very interesting, and quite useful. The tracers or trails were amazing. LSD trails are almost strobe like, after images of movement. 2CB trails are somewhat smeary. DMT trails contained whole geometries. They were deep, almost as if you could fall into them.
My perceptions and awareness felt heightened. I was able to go into a trance of sorts, but a substantially different trance than mushrooms evoke. I felt more in control, or at least more lucid during tranced parts, and the trance kind of came and went. I suspect this may be dose related.
The trip felt very evolutionary. I though about my own evolution, and helping others to evolve. I also was very aware of my connections to the past (my parents, grandparents, etc) and to the future (my child, and any future children I might have). I thought about my childhood, and was able to see how events there shaped my current behavior. I saw what my parents had done right and where I could improve on that.
I had this idea of drugs as molecular language. As I was thinking about this, the phrase 'Mushrooms are a dialect of DMT' popped into my head. I saw the tryptamine family like a language family, with DMT as the prototype language, and the rest as descended from it.
I gave a lot of thought to the book 'Stranger in a Strange Land' by Robert Heinlein. It is one of my favorite books, and I thought about how it had affected me and thousands (or millions) of other people. I was awed by the beauty of it, and took a moment to thank RAH for writing it. The ideas presented therein are very psychedelic, and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.
After some time I was feeling more sober, and I sat reflecting on the experience. I was amazed at the incredible density and clarity of the trip. I feel like I examined nearly every aspect of my existence. I think I could spend months unraveling it all. My mushroom trips have a similar depth, but they are generally more cosmic and far out, and therefor harder to remember. DMT was very clear and to the point.
I smoked some cannabis with my guide and one of my fellow travelers and we all settled down to sleep. My sleep was light but refreshing. I awoke in excellent spirits at around 8:30 am.
I am eager to try smoking DMT as a comparison. I understand, to a degree, the speed of DMT. It felt like greased lightning in my mind. It raced through my ideas and my visions came almost too fast to be absorbed. I experienced so much during the trip, it is hard to remember it all.
I got an amazing amount accomplished on this trip as far as metaprogramming goes. I was able to think through and resolve several knotty issues I have been dealing with, and it gave me new perspective on a few that resisted easy solutions. I look forward to my next opportunity to experience this state. DMT is a teacher of similar stature to the Mushroom

Bristol Rovers chairman Steve Hamer leaves club after 15-word statement
He has been at the Gas for three years
by David ByromBristol Rovers chairman Steve Hamer has left the club.
The Gas announced the news this morning in a short statement on their website.
Hamer joined the Gas in February 2016, being installed after the al-Qadi family took charge of the club, after previously having a three-year stint as chairman of Swansea City between 1997 and 2000.
The 68-year-old was at Rovers' FA Cup replay victory over Bromley on Tuesday evening but has been out of the spotlight over the last 12 months, with CEO Martyn Starnes taking a more prominent role after being appointed in March 2018.
Rovers' statement is notable in its shortness, with just 15 words being dedicated to the man who has been at the Gas for over three years.
It said: "The club has parted company with the non-executive chairman, Steve Hamer, with immediate effect."

3 May. Bistritz.--Left Munich at 8:35 P.M., on 1st May, arriving at Vienna early next morning; should have arrived at 6:46, but train was an hour late. Buda-Pesth seems a wonderful place, from the glimpse which I got of it from the train and the little I could walk through the streets. I feared to go very far from the station, as we had arrived late and would start as near the correct time as possible.
The impression I had was that we were leaving the West and entering the East; the most western of splendid bridges over the Danube, which is here of noble width and depth, took us among the traditions of Turkish rule.
We left in pretty good time, and came after nightfall to Klausenburgh. Here I stopped for the night at the Hotel Royale. I had for dinner, or rather supper, a chicken done up some way with red pepper, which was very good but thirsty. (Mem. get recipe for Mina.) I asked the waiter, and he said it was called "paprika hendl," and that, as it was a national dish, I should be able to get it anywhere along the Carpathians.
I found my smattering of German very useful here, indeed, I don't know how I should be able to get on without it.
Having had some time at my disposal when in London, I had visited the British Museum, and made search among the books and maps in the library regarding Transylvania; it had struck me that some foreknowledge of the country could hardly fail to have some importance in dealing with a nobleman of that country.
I find that the district he named is in the extreme east of the country, just on the borders of three states, Transylvania, Moldavia, and Bukovina, in the midst of the Carpathian mountains; one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe.
I was not able to light on any map or work giving the exact locality of the Castle Dracula, as there are no maps of this country as yet to compare with our own Ordnance Survey Maps; but I found that Bistritz, the post town named by Count Dracula, is a fairly well-known place. I shall enter here some of my notes, as they may refresh my memory when I talk over my travels with Mina.
In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and North. I am going among the latter, who claim to be descended from Attila and the Huns. This may be so, for when the Magyars conquered the country in the eleventh century they found the Huns settled in it.
I read that every known superstition in the world is gathered into the horseshoe of the Carpathians, as if it were the centre of some sort of imaginative whirlpool; if so my stay may be very interesting. (Mem., I must ask the Count all about them.)
I did not sleep well, though my bed was comfortable enough, for I had all sorts of queer dreams. There was a dog howling all night under my window, which may have had something to do with it; or it may have been the paprika, for I had to drink up all the water in my carafe, and was still thirsty. Towards morning I slept and was wakened by the continuous knocking at my door, so I guess I must have been sleeping soundly then.
I had for breakfast more paprika, and a sort of porridge of maize flour which they said was "mamaliga", and egg-plant stuffed with forcemeat, a very excellent dish, which they call "impletata". (Mem., get recipe for this also.)
I had to hurry breakfast, for the train started a little before eight, or rather it ought to have done so, for after rushing to the station at 7:30 I had to sit in the carriage for more than an hour before we began to move.
It seems to me that the further east you go the more unpunctual are the trains. What ought they to be in China?
All day long we seemed to dawdle through a country which was full of beauty of every kind. Sometimes we saw little towns or castles on the top of steep hills such as we see in old missals; sometimes we ran by rivers and streams which seemed from the wide stony margin on each side of them to be subject to great floods. It takes a lot of water, and running strong, to sweep the outside edge of a river clear.
At every station there were groups of people, sometimes crowds, and in all sorts of attire. Some of them were just like the peasants at home or those I saw coming through France and Germany, with short jackets, and round hats, and home-made trousers; but others were very picturesque.
The women looked pretty, except when you got near them, but they were very clumsy about the waist. They had all full white sleeves of some kind or other, and most of them had big belts with a lot of strips of something fluttering from them like the dresses in a ballet, but of course there were petticoats under them.
The strangest figures we saw were the Slovaks, who were more barbarian than the rest, with their big cow-boy hats, great baggy dirty-white trousers, white linen shirts, and enormous heavy leather belts, nearly a foot wide, all studded over with brass nails. They wore high boots, with their trousers tucked into them, and had long black hair and heavy black moustaches. They are very picturesque, but do not look prepossessing. On the stage they would be set down at once as some old Oriental band of brigands. They are, however, I am told, very harmless and rather wanting in natural self-assertion.
It was on the dark side of twilight when we got to Bistritz, which is a very interesting old place. Being practically on the frontier--for the Borgo Pass leads from it into Bukovina--it has had a very stormy existence, and it certainly shows marks of it. Fifty years ago a series of great fires took place, which made terrible havoc on five separate occasions. At the very beginning of the seventeenth century it underwent a siege of three weeks and lost 13,000 people, the casualties of war proper being assisted by famine and disease.
Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country.
I was evidently expected, for when I got near the door I faced a cheery-looking elderly woman in the usual peasant dress--white undergarment with a long double apron, front, and back, of coloured stuff fitting almost too tight for modesty. When I came close she bowed and said, "The Herr Englishman?"
"Yes," I said, "Jonathan Harker."
She smiled, and gave some message to an elderly man in white shirtsleeves, who had followed her to the door.
He went, but immediately returned with a letter:
"My friend.--Welcome to the Carpathians. I am anxiously expecting you. Sleep well tonight. At three tomorrow the diligence will start for Bukovina; a place on it is kept for you. At the Borgo Pass my carriage will await you and will bring you to me. I trust that your journey from London has been a happy one, and that you will enjoy your stay in my beautiful land.--Your friend, Dracula."
4 May--I found that my landlord had got a letter from the Count, directing him to secure the best place on the coach for me; but on making inquiries as to details he seemed somewhat reticent, and pretended that he could not understand my German.
This could not be true, because up to then he had understood it perfectly; at least, he answered my questions exactly as if he did.
He and his wife, the old lady who had received me, looked at each other in a frightened sort of way. He mumbled out that the money had been sent in a letter, and that was all he knew. When I asked him if he knew Count Dracula, and could tell me anything of his castle, both he and his wife crossed themselves, and, saying that they knew nothing at all, simply refused to speak further. It was so near the time of starting that I had no time to ask anyone else, for it was all very mysterious and not by any means comforting.
Just before I was leaving, the old lady came up to my room and said in a hysterical way: "Must you go? Oh! Young Herr, must you go?" She was in such an excited state that she seemed to have lost her grip of what German she knew, and mixed it all up with some other language which I did not know at all. I was just able to follow her by asking many questions. When I told her that I must go at once, and that I was engaged on important business, she asked again:
"Do you know what day it is?" I answered that it was the fourth of May. She shook her head as she said again:
"Oh, yes! I know that! I know that, but do you know what day it is?"
On my saying that I did not understand, she went on:
"It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway? Do you know where you are going, and what you are going to?" She was in such evident distress that I tried to comfort her, but without effect. Finally, she went down on her knees and implored me not to go; at least to wait a day or two before starting.
It was all very ridiculous but I did not feel comfortable. However, there was business to be done, and I could allow nothing to interfere with it.
I tried to raise her up, and said, as gravely as I could, that I thanked her, but my duty was imperative, and that I must go.
She then rose and dried her eyes, and taking a crucifix from her neck offered it to me.
I did not know what to do, for, as an English Churchman, I have been taught to regard such things as in some measure idolatrous, and yet it seemed so ungracious to refuse an old lady meaning so well and in such a state of mind.
She saw, I suppose, the doubt in my face, for she put the rosary round my neck and said, "For your mother's sake," and went out of the room.
I am writing up this part of the diary whilst I am waiting for the coach, which is, of course, late; and the crucifix is still round my neck.
Whether it is the old lady's fear, or the many ghostly traditions of this place, or the crucifix itself, I do not know, but I am not feeling nearly as easy in my mind as usual.
If this book should ever reach Mina before I do, let it bring my goodbye. Here comes the coach!
5 May. The Castle.--The gray of the morning has passed, and the sun is high over the distant horizon, which seems jagged, whether with trees or hills I know not, for it is so far off that big things and little are mixed.
I am not sleepy, and, as I am not to be called till I awake, naturally I write till sleep comes.
There are many odd things to put down, and, lest who reads them may fancy that I dined too well before I left Bistritz, let me put down my dinner exactly.
I dined on what they called "robber steak"--bits of bacon, onion, and beef, seasoned with red pepper, and strung on sticks, and roasted over the fire, in simple style of the London cat's meat!
The wine was Golden Mediasch, which produces a queer sting on the tongue, which is, however, not disagreeable.
I had only a couple of glasses of this, and nothing else.
When I got on the coach, the driver had not taken his seat, and I saw him talking to the landlady.
They were evidently talking of me, for every now and then they looked at me, and some of the people who were sitting on the bench outside the door--came and listened, and then looked at me, most of them pityingly. I could hear a lot of words often repeated, queer words, for there were many nationalities in the crowd, so I quietly got my polyglot dictionary from my bag and looked them out.
I must say they were not cheering to me, for amongst them were "Ordog"--Satan, "Pokol"--hell, "stregoica"--witch, "vrolok" and "vlkoslak"--both mean the same thing, one being Slovak and the other Servian for something that is either werewolf or vampire. (Mem., I must ask the Count about these superstitions.)
When we started, the crowd round the inn door, which had by this time swelled to a considerable size, all made the sign of the cross and pointed two fingers towards me.
With some difficulty, I got a fellow passenger to tell me what they meant. He would not answer at first, but on learning that I was English, he explained that it was a charm or guard against the evil eye.
This was not very pleasant for me, just starting for an unknown place to meet an unknown man. But everyone seemed so kind-hearted, and so sorrowful, and so sympathetic that I could not but be touched.
I shall never forget the last glimpse which I had of the inn yard and its crowd of picturesque figures, all crossing themselves, as they stood round the wide archway, with its background of rich foliage of oleander and orange trees in green tubs clustered in the centre of the yard.

I soon lost sight and recollection of ghostly fears in the beauty of the scene as we drove along, although had I known the language, or rather languages, which my fellow-passengers were speaking, I might not have been able to throw them off so easily. Before us lay a green sloping land full of forests and woods, with here and there steep hills, crowned with clumps of trees or with farmhouses, the blank gable end to the road. There was everywhere a bewildering mass of fruit blossom--apple, plum, pear, cherry. And as we drove by I could see the green grass under the trees spangled with the fallen petals. In and out amongst these green hills of what they call here the "Mittel Land" ran the road, losing itself as it swept round the grassy curve, or was shut out by the straggling ends of pine woods, which here and there ran down the hillsides like tongues of flame. The road was rugged, but still we seemed to fly over it with a feverish haste. I could not understand then what the haste meant, but the driver was evidently bent on losing no time in reaching Borgo Prund. I was told that this road is in summertime excellent, but that it had not yet been put in order after the winter snows. In this respect it is different from the general run of roads in the Carpathians, for it is an old tradition that they are not to be kept in too good order. Of old the Hospadars would not repair them, lest the Turk should think that they were preparing to bring in foreign troops, and so hasten the war which was always really at loading point.
Beyond the green swelling hills of the Mittel Land rose mighty slopes of forest up to the lofty steeps of the Carpathians themselves. Right and left of us they towered, with the afternoon sun falling full upon them and bringing out all the glorious colours of this beautiful range, deep blue and purple in the shadows of the peaks, green and brown where grass and rock mingled, and an endless perspective of jagged rock and pointed crags, till these were themselves lost in the distance, where the snowy peaks rose grandly. Here and there seemed mighty rifts in the mountains, through which, as the sun began to sink, we saw now and again the white gleam of falling water. One of my companions touched my arm as we swept round the base of a hill and opened up the lofty, snow-covered peak of a mountain, which seemed, as we wound on our serpentine way, to be right before us.
"Look! Isten szek!"--"God's seat!"--and he crossed himself reverently.
As we wound on our endless way, and the sun sank lower and lower behind us, the shadows of the evening began to creep round us. This was emphasized by the fact that the snowy mountain-top still held the sunset, and seemed to glow out with a delicate cool pink. Here and there we passed Cszeks and slovaks, all in picturesque attire, but I noticed that goitre was painfully prevalent. By the roadside were many crosses, and as we swept by, my companions all crossed themselves. Here and there was a peasant man or woman kneeling before a shrine, who did not even turn round as we approached, but seemed in the self-surrender of devotion to have neither eyes nor ears for the outer world. There were many things new to me. For instance, hay-ricks in the trees, and here and there very beautiful masses of weeping birch, their white stems shining like silver through the delicate green of the leaves.
Now and again we passed a leiter-wagon--the ordinary peasants's cart--with its long, snakelike vertebra, calculated to suit the inequalities of the road. On this were sure to be seated quite a group of homecoming peasants, the Cszeks with their white, and the Slovaks with their coloured sheepskins, the latter carrying lance-fashion their long staves, with axe at end. As the evening fell it began to get very cold, and the growing twilight seemed to merge into one dark mistiness the gloom of the trees, oak, beech, and pine, though in the valleys which ran deep between the spurs of the hills, as we ascended through the Pass, the dark firs stood out here and there against the background of late-lying snow. Sometimes, as the road was cut through the pine woods that seemed in the darkness to be closing down upon us, great masses of greyness which here and there bestrewed the trees, produced a peculiarly weird and solemn effect, which carried on the thoughts and grim fancies engendered earlier in the evening, when the falling sunset threw into strange relief the ghost-like clouds which amongst the Carpathians seem to wind ceaselessly through the valleys. Sometimes the hills were so steep that, despite our driver's haste, the horses could only go slowly. I wished to get down and walk up them, as we do at home, but the driver would not hear of it. "No, no," he said. "You must not walk here. The dogs are too fierce." And then he added, with what he evidently meant for grim pleasantry--for he looked round to catch the approving smile of the rest--"And you may have enough of such matters before you go to sleep." The only stop he would make was a moment's pause to light his lamps.
When it grew dark there seemed to be some excitement amongst the passengers, and they kept speaking to him, one after the other, as though urging him to further speed. He lashed the horses unmercifully with his long whip, and with wild cries of encouragement urged them on to further exertions. Then through the darkness I could see a sort of patch of grey light ahead of us, as though there were a cleft in the hills. The excitement of the passengers grew greater. The crazy coach rocked on its great leather springs, and swayed like a boat tossed on a stormy sea. I had to hold on. The road grew more level, and we appeared to fly along. Then the mountains seemed to come nearer to us on each side and to frown down upon us. We were entering on the Borgo Pass. One by one several of the passengers offered me gifts, which they pressed upon me with an earnestness which would take no denial. These were certainly of an odd and varied kind, but each was given in simple good faith, with a kindly word, and a blessing, and that same strange mixture of fear-meaning movements which I had seen outside the hotel at Bistritz--the sign of the cross and the guard against the evil eye. Then, as we flew along, the driver leaned forward, and on each side the passengers, craning over the edge of the coach, peered eagerly into the darkness. It was evident that something very exciting was either happening or expected, but though I asked each passenger, no one would give me the slightest explanation. This state of excitement kept on for some little time. And at last we saw before us the Pass opening out on the eastern side. There were dark, rolling clouds overhead, and in the air the heavy, oppressive sense of thunder. It seemed as though the mountain range had separated two atmospheres, and that now we had got into the thunderous one. I was now myself looking out for the conveyance which was to take me to the Count. Each moment I expected to see the glare of lamps through the blackness, but all was dark. The only light was the flickering rays of our own lamps, in which the steam from our hard-driven horses rose in a white cloud. We could see now the sandy road lying white before us, but there was on it no sign of a vehicle. The passengers drew back with a sigh of gladness, which seemed to mock my own disappointment. I was already thinking what I had best do, when the driver, looking at his watch, said to the others something which I could hardly hear, it was spoken so quietly and in so low a tone, I thought it was "An hour less than the time." Then turning to me, he spoke in German worse than my own.
"There is no carriage here. The Herr is not expected after all. He will now come on to Bukovina, and return tomorrow or the next day, better the next day." Whilst he was speaking the horses began to neigh and snort and plunge wildly, so that the driver had to hold them up.  I could see from the flash of our lamps as the rays fell on them, that the horses were coal-black and splendid animals. They were driven by a tall man, with a long brown beard and a great black hat, which seemed to hide his face from us. I could only see the gleam of a pair of very bright eyes, which seemed red in the lamplight, as he turned to us.
He said to the driver, "You are early tonight, my friend."
The man stammered in reply, "The English Herr was in a hurry."
To which the stranger replied, "That is why, I suppose, you wished him to go on to Bukovina. You cannot deceive me, my friend. I know too much, and my horses are swift."
As he spoke he smiled, and the lamplight fell on a hard-looking mouth, with very red lips and sharp-looking teeth, as white as ivory. One of my companions whispered to another the line from Burger's "Lenore".
 ("For the dead travel fast.")
The strange driver evidently heard the words, for he looked up with a gleaming smile. The passenger turned his face away, at the same time putting out his two fingers and crossing himself. "Give me the Herr's luggage," said the driver, and with exceeding alacrity my bags were handed out and put in the caleche. Then I descended from the side of the coach, as the caleche was close alongside, the driver helping me with a hand which caught my arm in a grip of steel. His strength must have been prodigious.
Without a word he shook his reins, the horses turned, and we swept into the darkness of the pass. As I looked back I saw the steam from the horses of the coach by the light of the lamps, and projected against it the figures of my late companions crossing themselves. Then the driver cracked his whip and called to his horses, and off they swept on their way to Bukovina. As they sank into the darkness I felt a strange chill, and a lonely feeling come over me. But a cloak was thrown over my shoulders, and a rug across my knees, and the driver said in excellent German--"The night is chill, mein Herr, and my master the Count bade me take all care of you. There is a flask of slivovitz (the plum brandy of the country) underneath the seat, if you should require it."
I did not take any, but it was a comfort to know it was there all the same. I felt a little strangely, and not a little frightened. I think had there been any alternative I should have taken it, instead of prosecuting that unknown night journey. The carriage went at a hard pace straight along, then we made a complete turn and went along another straight road. It seemed to me that we were simply going over and over the same ground again, and so I took note of some salient point, and found that this was so. I would have liked to have asked the driver what this all meant, but I really feared to do so, for I thought that, placed as I was, any protest would have had no effect in case there had been an intention to delay.
By-and-by, however, as I was curious to know how time was passing, I struck a match, and by its flame looked at my watch. It was within a few minutes of midnight. This gave me a sort of shock, for I suppose the general superstition about midnight was increased by my recent experiences. I waited with a sick feeling of suspense.
Then a dog began to howl somewhere in a farmhouse far down the road, a long, agonized wailing, as if from fear. The sound was taken up by another dog, and then another and another, till, borne on the wind which now sighed softly through the Pass, a wild howling began, which seemed to come from all over the country, as far as the imagination could grasp it through the gloom of the night.
At the first howl the horses began to strain and rear, but the driver spoke to them soothingly, and they quieted down, but shivered and sweated as though after a runaway from sudden fright. Then, far off in the distance, from the mountains on each side of us began a louder and a sharper howling, that of wolves, which affected both the horses and myself in the same way. For I was minded to jump from the caleche and run, whilst they reared again and plunged madly, so that the driver had to use all his great strength to keep them from bolting. In a few minutes, however, my own ears got accustomed to the sound, and the horses so far became quiet that the driver was able to descend and to stand before them.
He petted and soothed them, and whispered something in their ears, as I have heard of horse-tamers doing, and with extraordinary effect, for under his caresses they became quite manageable again, though they still trembled. The driver again took his seat, and shaking his reins, started off at a great pace. This time, after going to the far side of the Pass, he suddenly turned down a narrow roadway which ran sharply to the right.
Soon we were hemmed in with trees, which in places arched right over the roadway till we passed as through a tunnel. And again great frowning rocks guarded us boldly on either side. Though we were in shelter, we could hear the rising wind, for it moaned and whistled through the rocks, and the branches of the trees crashed together as we swept along. It grew colder and colder still, and fine, powdery snow began to fall, so that soon we and all around us were covered with a white blanket. The keen wind still carried the howling of the dogs, though this grew fainter as we went on our way. The baying of the wolves sounded nearer and nearer, as though they were closing round on us from every side. I grew dreadfully afraid, and the horses shared my fear. The driver, however, was not in the least disturbed. He kept turning his head to left and right, but I could not see anything through the darkness.
Suddenly, away on our left I saw a faint flickering blue flame. The driver saw it at the same moment. He at once checked the horses, and, jumping to the ground, disappeared into the darkness. I did not know what to do, the less as the howling of the wolves grew closer. But while I wondered, the driver suddenly appeared again, and without a word took his seat, and we resumed our journey. I think I must have fallen asleep and kept dreaming of the incident, for it seemed to be repeated endlessly, and now looking back, it is like a sort of awful nightmare. Once the flame appeared so near the road, that even in the darkness around us I could watch the driver's motions. He went rapidly to where the blue flame arose, it must have been very faint, for it did not seem to illumine the place around it at all, and gathering a few stones, formed them into some device.
Once there appeared a strange optical effect. When he stood between me and the flame he did not obstruct it, for I could see its ghostly flicker all the same. This startled me, but as the effect was only momentary, I took it that my eyes deceived me straining through the darkness. Then for a time there were no blue flames, and we sped onwards through the gloom, with the howling of the wolves around us, as though they were following in a moving circle.
At last there came a time when the driver went further afield than he had yet gone, and during his absence, the horses began to tremble worse than ever and to snort and scream with fright. I could not see any cause for it, for the howling of the wolves had ceased altogether. But just then the moon, sailing through the black clouds, appeared behind the jagged crest of a beetling, pine-clad rock, and by its light I saw around us a ring of wolves, with white teeth and lolling red tongues, with long, sinewy limbs and shaggy hair. They were a hundred times more terrible in the grim silence which held them than even when they howled. For myself, I felt a sort of paralysis of fear. It is only when a man feels himself face to face with such horrors that he can understand their true import.
All at once the wolves began to howl as though the moonlight had had some peculiar effect on them. The horses jumped about and reared, and looked helplessly round with eyes that rolled in a way painful to see. But the living ring of terror encompassed them on every side, and they had perforce to remain within it. I called to the coachman to come, for it seemed to me that our only chance was to try to break out through the ring and to aid his approach, I shouted and beat the side of the caleche, hoping by the noise to scare the wolves from the side, so as to give him a chance of reaching the trap. How he came there, I know not, but I heard his voice raised in a tone of imperious command, and looking towards the sound, saw him stand in the roadway. As he swept his long arms, as though brushing aside some impalpable obstacle, the wolves fell back and back further still. Just then a heavy cloud passed across the face of the moon, so that we were again in darkness.
When I could see again the driver was climbing into the caleche, and the wolves disappeared. This was all so strange and uncanny that a dreadful fear came upon me, and I was afraid to speak or move. The time seemed interminable as we swept on our way, now in almost complete darkness, for the rolling clouds obscured the moon.
We kept on ascending, with occasional periods of quick descent, but in the main always ascending. Suddenly, I became conscious of the fact that the driver was in the act of pulling up the horses in the courtyard of a vast ruined castle, from whose tall black windows came no ray of light, and whose broken battlements showed a jagged line against the sky.

filterSpeckles Filters off small noise blobs (speckles) in the disparity map
img = cv.filterSpeckles(img, newVal, maxSpeckleSize, maxDiff)
Input
- img The input 1-channel 16-bit signed disparity image.
- newVal The disparity value used to paint-off the speckles.
- maxSpeckleSize The maximum speckle size to consider it a speckle.
Larger blobs are not affected by the algorithm
- maxDiff Maximum difference between neighbor disparity pixels to put
them into the same blob. Note that since cv.StereoBM, cv.StereoSGBM
and may be other algorithms return a fixed-point disparity map, where
disparity values are multiplied by 16, this scale factor should be
taken into account when specifying this parameter value.
Output
- img Filtered disparity image.

 It can be a Bézier curve, which is very obviously a bunch of polynomials stacked on top of each other under a trench coat. Or it can be a NURBS which is always a rational choice. It can even be a hand-crafted spline tailored for your specific task. Using splines for parametric curves is good. But it's not the only possible way.
For instance, sometimes, for the reasons mentioned only in the second half of this page to keep you intrigued, you are not satisfied with just some splines. You want some specific property, splines from the box just don't have. You have to look elsewhere.
This page shows you one possible option apart from splines and it is an old-school parametric curve made from arcs and line segments stitched together. Yes, it's that simple, it's all rulers and compasses. Euclid would have been proud.
To build a smooth parametric curve we need appropriate building blocks. Smoothness means that the function has tangent vector continuity, so a decent building block for it would be something that gives you full control over its tangents in points. A cubic polynomial is a fine example.
Points and tangents are clickable/draggable.
Two points imply two linear equations. Two tangents are two more. Four equations, four polynomial coefficients — nice little linear system. Solve it and you have your building block.
Now stack them together, make sure that the tangents of two neighboring pieces coincide — and here you go!
We can construct an alternative building block by making two circles go through the points so the tangents will be orthogonal to the radius vector, and then touch. The point where the circles touch is the point where they share the tangent. Then we cut two arcs out of them, and that's it. The pair of arcs will be our new building block.
Two points, two tangents. This should replace the cubic polynomial just fine.
In SymPy equations, the conditions to build a biarc look like this:
# input: point and tangent x1, y1, dx1, dy1 = symbols('x1 y1 dx1 dy1') x2, y2, dx2, dy2 = symbols('x2 y2 dx2 dy2') # output: arcs' centers and radiuses ax1, ay1, ax2, ay2 = symbols('ax1 ay1 ax2 ay2') r1, r2 = symbols('r1 r2') solutions = solve( [ r2 - r1, # radiuses are equal x1 + r1*dy1 - ax1, # radius vector is orthogonal to dx dy y1 - r1*dx1 - ay1, x2 + r2*dy2 - ax2, y2 - r2*dx2 - ay2, (ax1-ax2)**2 + (ay1-ay2)**2 - (r1+r2)**2 # circles touch ], (ax1, ay1, ax2, ay2, r1, r2))
Yes, this is a quadratic system. It results in not one but two solutions. You can see both cases on Github.
We only want one though, so let's just pick the one with the least sum of radiuses and see what will happen.
We have our building block. The problem is, it only works ok when tangents are contradirected-ish. As tangents become codirected, it tends to “bubble”.
And when they are also codirected with the points' vector, the radiuses become too big and it introduces computational and performance problems. So it is a building block, but for very particular kinds of buildings.
Let's complement it with something else.
And something else is an arc and a line segment. This should work with codirected tangents making nice cane-like curves where the biarc takes a giant detour.
An arc and a segment is again a radius vector orthogonal to the tangent of the first point, plus a segment from the second point to the point where the circle touches the second tangent ray emited from the second point. Ok, the verbal description is a mess, let's try SymPy equations instead.
# input x1, y1, dx1, dy1 = symbols('x1 y1 dx1 dy1') x2, y2, dx2, dy2 = symbols('x2 y2 dx2 dy2') r1 = symbols('r1') # radius is the input # intermediate ix, iy = symbols('ix iy') # circle with tangent ray intersection # output ax1, ay1, t2 = symbols('ax1 ay1 t2') solutions = solve( [ x1 - r1*dy1 - ax1, # arc radius is orthogonal to (x1, y1) y1 + r1*dx1 - ay1, # x2 + dx2 * t2 - ix, # intersection point y2 + dy2 * t2 - iy, # is on the tangent line of (x2, y2) (ix-ax1)*(ix-x2) + (iy-ay1)*(iy-y2) # intersection is only # touching the arc ], (ax1, ay1, t2, ix, iy))
Ah, but that's not the whole thing! You should add another equation so the SymPy could get the arc radius for you. Unfortunately, then it will take much more time to compute. Not sure how much, let's just say after 25 hours on my machine, I had to stop the process.
It's faster to compute it numerically.
To do that, you need to find an intersection point of the tangent rays. Then you compute the angle between the rays. Then the shortest distance from one of starting points to the point of tangent intersection multiplied by the tangent function of the found angle is the radius. Also, the shortest distance determines which of the points will touch an arc and which will get the line segment. I'm not sure if the words are helping, so here's a link to the code on Github.
This building block isn't perfect either. Where the tangents are contraoriented, the point where the arc meets the segment will appear sharp. Also, it still tends to take detours. But it complements the biarcs. In most of the cases biarcs fail, it works fine.
Since we have biarcs that work half the time and arc-and-lines that work half of the time, why don't we combine them and hope this would work all the time? All we have to do is to decide when to run the former and when the latter.
I think the nice criterion is how the tangents are oriented towards each other. If they share a half-plane, meaning they are more or less cooriented, then the arc and line would be a good choice. If they don't share the same halfplane, so more like contraoriented, then the biarcs should work.
Again, it might be easier to read code than the explanation, so it's also on GitHub like everything else here.
Just a reminder, this is a live plot. Points and tangents are movable.
And now for the “why bother” part. Let's say you want something to go along the curve with constant speed. With splines, this is possible but complicated. You'd have to measure spline derivatives, compute the curve's own “speed” and then find the right parameter increment to match it with what you want. It's doable but cumbersome.
With arcs and segments, this task is trivial. Line segments are linear by definition and circles are linearly parametrized by their radial coordinates, so as a motorcycle goes with the constant speed with constant revs, the object will go along the curve with the constant speed if the parameterization changes constantly.
Also, since it's trivial to compute arcs length, it's easy to parametrize these curves not only linearly but in their natural scale. For instance, I can make a small circle run around the track with a speed of exactly 200 pixels per second.
Of course, this approach has its flaws. It still doesn't work when tangents and points all lie on the same line. It requires classification to chose among 4 possible solutions and this contributes to the algorithm size and performance. Splines are simpler.
But it's only one possible approach of an infinite number of possible approaches. This exercise shows you not how you should build parametric curves with desired properties, but that you can. You don't have to rely on what a library provides you with, you can craft your own curves however you like. The options are limitless.
And a case in point! Johnathon Selstad came up with this awesome idea: what if we put a line segment between arcs? Now the radii become adjustable and we can cover both my cases, too.
How cool is that!

From world-renownd British playwright, Gerrard Tea'n'Crumpets comes another amazing adaptation on the events of the infamous Boston Teaparty. The year is 2047 and the British Government is being invaded by the United States. His Majesty realizing the imminent destruction of the Monarchy initiates plan "Zed". The action calls for the activation of a time machine obtained from ancient aliens that built Stone-Hedge as a monument to Sasquatch. We lose you yet? No? Wow, you must be a very fast reader if you have gotten this far. Did Dr. Palmer just so happen to ask a question about the shows model? Well while we twiddle our thumbs perhaps it would be in both of our interests to tab back over to reddit and pretend none of this is actually happening?

Katz’s “flower” series’ art market auction sale totalled to $3,522,785, which is above the low estimate price ($2,606,352) and below the high estimate price ($3,843,008). In 2007, the “flower” series’ total sale was around twelve times higher than its previous year’s sale because of “Red Tulips” that was sold for $580K (ranked fourth in highest-sold works). From 2011-2018, we see a high fluctuated hammer price every other due to an inconsistent supply on the secondary market because none “flower” series were auctioned in 2015-2016. Despite to a low sell-through rate at 33% in 2009, around 95% of the “paintings in the Flower series” was sold on the auction market, demonstrating a high investor demand. His annual average hammer price is around 1.48 times beyond the low estimate price. This series’s highly varied price range, the most supplied paintings price range is between $0-50K, where the average price/cm² is at $17.85.

Khloe showed off her enviable figure in a sheer black dress with a dramatic thigh-split and Kourtney rocked a glitzy black bejewelled trouser suit with an oversized blazer on top of a bralet.
Kris oozed sophistication in a black trouser suit with a camisole underneath and rhinestone detailing on her jacket.
The family also won Reality Show of the year for their series.
A host of other celebs stood out on the red carpet too.
Singer Gwen Stefani, on the arm of her man Blake Shelton, was receiving a Fashion Icon Award - she was determined to prove she's the right choice, opting for a statement Vera Wang dress with suede knee highs to complete her ensemble.
Zendaya, meanwhile, went for a more understated and classic, but no less fabulous, look of a black cropped gown with silver straps.
Modern Family star Sarah Hyland added a splash of colour with an orange, black and gold Fausto Puglisi dress with a high thigh slit.
Singer Pink walked the carpet with the carpet with husband Carey Hart and their two kids, Jameson and Willow.
The So What hitmaker posed in a long coat with a see-through bodice underneath.
Channing Tatum's ex Jenna Dewan showed off her baby bump in a red Monique Lhuillier gown, and paired it with classic silver jewellery.
Riverdale heart throbs KJ Apa and Cole Sprouse also went big on colour, with the hunky New Zealander going for a flashy pink suit while Cole went for a more traditional blue.
Friends legend Jennifer Aniston looked the picture of sophistication in a black gown, while the event marked a return to the public eye for comedian Kevin Hart.
It's the comedians first official appearance following a near fatal car crash two months ago that fractured his spine in three spots and hospitalised him for ten days.

It was a glam night for social media star Tana Mongeau, who's sparkly red dress turned a few heads.
