February 20, 2010
President Jim McConnell, NE0DA, called the meeting to
order at 2:05 p.m. Members in attendance were:
-
J. Dagel, KD0GTR
- Dwight DeWitt, WB0HBJ
- Dan Broadbooks, NG0T
- Jim McConnell, NE0DA
- Jane Ewing, KE6DCE
- Bill Ewing, WA0KAQ
- Billie Vahldiek, K5LKT
- Paul Sipes, KB0JIT
- Bill Fortune, W0NHF
- Bill Fortune, KB0RPD
- Ed Force, KD5MHI
- Andy Lloyd, AB8HQ
- Ralph Schuster, KA0RER
Four guests were also present. Kirk Kelley and Bob
Tillotson, students of the club's entry level classes, were first
time visitors, as was Kaleb Belin. In addition, Harry Lloyd (W8MGW)
from Berrien Springs, Michigan, and father of the club's Vice-President
Andy Lloyd, was also in attendance. Following the meeting, Bob
Tillotson became a member of the club.
February Birthdays: Stan Deyo (KC0UZG) and Jane Ewing (KE6DCE)
WA0KAQ read the Secretary's report and made a
correction to last month's minutes. The correction was in reference
to the club's call sign. Last month's report stated, "Should the
trustee of the license change in the future, the license shall retain
its Extra Class designation." It should have said, "The
license class will change according to the class of the Trustee,
however the call sign will remain the same."
Club Treasurer Dan Broadbooks (NG0T) reported the club
has $409.07 in its treasury. This consists of $25 in the change fund
and the balance in the bank account. He reported that the check
printing charge from the bank was $11.93 instead of the $15.00
reported earlier, and that the checks have been received. WA0KAQ
submitted a bill for $13.40 for the cost of the club's Vanity Call Sign.
Jane (KE6DCE), Ways & Means Committee, asked for
more fundraising ideas to explore. The members liked the idea of
another Bake Sale in the spring, and Jane will look for an open May
weekend at Walmart. She is also exploring limited sales at Field Day
and perhaps a raffle or silent auction. Other ideas were discussed
such as having a booth at Lovell Park on July 4, or possibly a
"Slave Day" in the spring. Bob Tillotson volunteered to
help Jane with fundraising.
President McConnell (NE0DA) noted what had been
accomplished at January meeting:
-
Programs were given on analog and digital SSTV.
- WA0KAQ was appointed as Trustee for the club call sign.
- NE0DA and WA0KAQ signed the application for a club
call sign.
- KE6DCE was appointed as head of the Ways and Means Committee
- The club made some preliminary plans for Field Day.
- NE0DA announced that Technician Class license
classes will be held on Thursdays at Fire Station 3 beginning January 28.
- After reviewing the HF Net progress, it was
decided to continue the Tuesday night net and drop the Sunday morning net.
- Members decided to meet informally for coffee or
breakfast once a month between meetings. The first meeting was
scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on February 6 at the Hen House Café.
Old Business:
-
KD0RPD reported that the Metropolitan District's
Committee of Architecture approved our free use of the common parking
area at Cheers Plaza, 334 S. McCulloch Blvd., (cross street W. Hahn's
Peak Ave.) for our Field Day activities. The Committee did express
some concerns about our signage, type of vehicles, antennas and other
structures that we would be erecting. There will also be restrictions
on how close to the street we can set up. Bill brought in two forms
(one for signs, and one for vehicles, etc.) that will need to be
filled out and returned by May 18 for the Committee's May 27 meeting.
Bill is also working on obtaining a porta potty for the site.
-
KB0RPD reported that 12-volt deep cycle UPS batteries
will soon be available from the National Weather Service for club
use. There will be one or two battery boxes available, and we can
change out batteries as needed. These may come in very handy for
Field Day use. Some of them, with inverters, could be used to supply
power for the logging computers used in the competition and help
conserve on battery power for radio use. They could be charged ahead
of time using solar power.
-
WA0KAQ reported six members have signed up for ARES -
the Amateur Radio Emergency Service. All who have signed up for ARES
were invited to check into the District 16 ARES Net at 7:30 p.m. on
Sundays on the 146.790 repeater in Pueblo.
Four items that were tabled at the January meeting
were brought back for discussion.
-
Auditing the treasury - A motion was made by Paul,
KB0JIT, to audit the treasury annually in December prior to the
club's meeting. This would be done by two members who are not club
officers. The auditors will be chosen closer to the time of the
audit. The motion was seconded by Billy, K5LKT. The motion was approved.
-
Does the club need a Board of Directors? - Dan, NG0T,
who did our incorporation paperwork, stated theoretically we should
have at least one director even though we do not have to report
anything to the state concerning directors. Dan will research this
issue further. The item was tabled once again.
-
Does the club need to place additional legal language
in the Constitution to formally ratify the club's non-profit status?
After consulting with Dan, NG0T, it was decided that the addition of
this language to what we already have in the Constitution is not
needed. We are a non-profit corporation, similar to a Chamber of
Commerce, but not a 501(3)c corporation.
-
Should the club lower the quorum percentage necessary
to make minor Constitutional changes needed to meet requirements for
incorporation purposes, and not for changing the main parts of the
Constitution? This item was dropped, as the changes that were thought
to be needed are no longer an issue.
New Business:
-
KB0JIT and KD5MHI reported that 21 prospective
students showed up for the first entry level amateur radio class held
on January 28. Most were Boy Scouts, however, whose weekly meeting
falls on the same night as the class. Both instructors voiced their
agreement that an attempt will be made to secure another day and time
for those who want to study for their license. In addition, Ed will
be helping some of the Scouts earn their Communications Merit Badge.
At this time, there are four adult students working toward their
Technician Class licenses.
-
WA0KAQ announced that the FCC issued the club a
sequential license on January 26. The call sign was KD0JZC. After
consulting with the club President, Jim McConnell, NE0DA, an
application was made for a Vanity Call Sign. The club received the
call sign NA0PW on February 17. The "PW" suffix was chosen
for "Pueblo West," and the "NA" prefix was chosen
as because it works well both on voice and cw. That cost was $13.40,
and the license is good for 10 years. Trusteeship of the license can
be transferred within that time if desired. As stated earlier, the
class of license will vary with the license class of the Trustee, but
the call sign will remain the same.
-
The club's web pages have now been placed on their own
site at http://www.qsl.net/na0pw, and more pages have been added.
Stop by for a look and let WA0KAQ know what you think of it. There
will be more information added in the future.
-
Since the club has its call sign, WA0KAQ noted that
the members should be thinking about what they want to do about QSL
cards. Various types of cards were discussed. There is no rush on
this item, however it is very possible that cards will be needed
following the club's Field Day activity.
-
A VE Session was held Saturday, Feb. 13, at the
Rawlins Library in Pueblo. Jane Ewing (KE6DCE) and Bill Fortune III
(KB0RPD) upgraded from Technician Class to General Class, and Ed
Force (KD5MHI) upgraded from General Class to Amateur Extra.
Congratulations on making the grade and also giving the club a 100%
success rate at the test session!
-
The ARRL Volunteer Examiner team program was
discussed, and the consensus of the membership was to continue to use
Pueblo Ham Club for our VE testing. Our club currently has three
Volunteer Examiners holding Amateur Extra licenses, and some other
members will become accredited shortly. Our current Volunteer
Examiners have already offered their services to Pueblo Ham Club as
needed, and WA0KAQ helped with the February 13 session held in Pueblo.
-
NE0DA stated that the January 6 Ragchew at the Hen
House Café was a big success, and he encouraged everyone to
attend the next one which will be held on Saturday, March 6, at 9:00 a.m.
-
NE0DA stated he was very pleased at the turnout for
this month's meeting, however there are a few members we have missed
seeing lately. He asked for a volunteer to help keep in touch with
members with courtesy telephone calls, and also find out if they have
issues that are keeping them from the meetings that we might help
address. Vice-President Andy Lloyd volunteered to help with this.
-
NE0DA appointed KB0JIT and KD5MHI as Training
Coordinators for the club. They are our current instructors and also
may now provide some training for the club as well.
WA0KAQ announced he is putting together a Field Day
Manual for the club members so they will have as much of the
pertinent information as possible in one place. Before he could
finish it, he was in need of some items the members might be able to
supply for Field Day. The following members stepped forward to supply
the needs:
-
KB0JIT volunteered to bring a 2-meter rig and
temporary antenna for use in demonstrating one phase of ham radio to
visitors. He also will supply a code practice oscillator and key for
an educational activity.
-
Extra tables and chairs will be supplied by KB0RPD,
KD5MHI and new member Bob Tillotson. Bob also volunteered the use of
a laptop with CD drive for use on the information table, and his
cargo trailer if needed. The trailer will be of great service to
provide secure storage of the three ground-mounted solar panels and
other items during the night.
-
NE0DA and KB0RPD will each supply a 10x10 pop-up shade.
-
AB0HQ volunteered to bring tarps to cover tables,
etc., as needed.
-
After seeing a photo of how Mountain Amateur Radio
Club from Teller County mounted their banner, KD5MHI volunteered to
build a PVC frame for our banner.
Thank you very much to all who are contributing their
equipment and time for this event! It shows what a group effort can
do. The Field Day Handbooks should be ready by the next meeting. They
will be e-mailed, not printed, as they will be about 30 pages in
length. A Field Day sign-up sheet will be included in the handbook.
Program:
-
KB0JIT presented a very informative program on how to
set up an emergency backup battery system. Paul also handed out
schematics of the circuits he used to build both a low power backup
system (15 amps) and a high power system (25 amps or more). The
systems can be set up to charge batteries when commercial power is
available, and these batteries in turn run 12-volt devices. They can
be built to automatically switch radios and other 12-volt accessories
to battery power when the commercial power goes off.
We have a celebrity among us! Dan (NG0T) brought in a
1977 CQ magazine. On the cover was a photo of the hams who attended
that year's MARAC (Mobile Amateur Radio Club) meeting in Louisville,
KY. Dan was one of the hams in the photo. Dan has worked all the U.S.
counties mixed mode, and all U.S. counties by cw. We're hoping Dan
can find the original photo so we can scan it for posting on the website.
Watch for these coming events:
-
Each Tuesday evening we have our VHF net at 7:00 on
145.445 FM simplex. This is followed by an HF net on 28.305 USB at
7:30 p.m.
- Colorado District 16 ARES Net meets each Sunday
evening at 7 p.m. on Pueblo's 146.790 repeater. Visitors are welcome
to check in.
- Feb. 27 & 28 - North America QSO Party
(DIGITAL) - Feb. 27, 1800Z to Feb. 28, 0600Z - Good practice for
Field Day!
- March 6-7 - International DX Contest (PHONE) --
Mar. 6, 0000Z, to Mar. 7, 2400
- Sat., March 6, 9:00 a.m. -- Ragchew with coffee or
breakfast - Hen House Cafe
- Sat., March 20, 2:00 p.m. - Monthly PWARC Meeting
at 2:00 p.m., Pueblo West Library
- Next month's program will feature the digital
modes. PSK31 software will be discussed, and KB0JIT and WA0KAQ will
give a live demonstration using Digipan and FLdigi software.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:08 p.m. |

attributes.to.long.Rd
Start with a wide-form dataframe reported about alters using network method
questions and convert it into a long-form dataset. For example, after a network
survey of out-migrants, there might be variables about sex and age of each emigre
reported to be connected to each respondent. In a study that encountered
a maximum of 3 reported emigres across all respondents, this wide-form
dataframe might look like:
| resp.id | resp.d.hat | emage.1 | emage.2 | emage.3 | emsex.1 | emsex.2 | emsex.3 | 1 |
| 100 | 24 | NA | NA | M | NA | NA | 2 | 110 |
| NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | NA | 3 | 140 | 33 |
The attributes.to.long
function could convert that into a
long-form dataframe that looks like this:
| degree | age | sex |
| 100 | 24 | M |
| 140 | 33 | F |
| 140 | 23 | M |
| 140 | 53 | F |
| ... |
(Note that we make no guarantees about the order in which the reshaped data
will be returned.)
attributes.to.long( df, attribute.prefix, ego.vars = NULL, keep.na = FALSE, idvar = NULL, sep = "\\.|_", varname.first = TRUE )
| df | the wide-form dataset to convert |
|---|---|
| attribute.prefix | a vector whose entries have the prefixes of the
names of variables
in the dataframe |
| ego.vars | if not NULL, the names of columns in the dataset that refer
to the egos and so should not be converted to long-form. you
can specify that they should be renamed in the same way as with
|
| keep.na | if FALSE, remove columns in the resulting dataset that are all NAs |
| idvar | the index or name of the variable in the data that has the respondent id. if NULL, then new ids which correspond to the rows in data are created. |
| sep | a regular expression that the wide-form variable names are split around. (eg, for "var_01", sep="_"; for "var.01" is is "\.") |
| varname.first | TRUE if the text before the separator is the variable name (eg var_01), and FALSE otherwise |
a long-form dataframe with the attributes reported for all of the alters. the dataframe will include an alter.id variable which is formed using <respondent id>.<alter number>
should follow the se / nse pattern in, eg, the kp functions; interim workaround -- eg as.data.frame(df),idvar -- for now
for now, this converts any factors into characters. this is obviously not ideal. eventually, data type should be preserved...
handle the case of "" more effectively. Right now, we assume that all structural missings (eg, I only report one alter, though there are three columns for me to do so) are NA
look at the code in the middle of the function that's commented out and be sure we know that the order of the rows will be the same, to that we can cbind them together.
if (FALSE) { ## TODO add example }

Use the border spinners for a lightweight loading indicator.
The border spinner uses currentColor
for its border-color
.
You can use any of our text color utilities on the standard spinner.
If you don'tfancy a border spinner, switch to the grow spinner. While it doesn't technically spin, it does repeatedly grow!
Once again, this spinner is built with currentColor
, so you can easily
change its appearance. Here it is in blue, along with the supported variants.
Add size="sm"
property to make a smaller spinner that can quickly
be used within other components.
Use spinners within buttons to indicate an action is currently processing or taking place. You may also swap the text out of the spinner element and utilize button text as needed.

Implementation of cross-calibration and precision analysis for HR-pQCT.
XcalRep (x-calibration & reproducibility) is an R implementation of methods used for cross-calibration and precision analysis of HR-pQCT It enables cross-calibration and precision analysis in R for single- and multi-centre studies, conducted at single or multiple timepoints. XcalRep was developed with intended use for HR-pQCT, however, it easily extends to other instruments which undergo routine calibration and reproducibility assessment.
The XcalRep package provides the following utilities:
Additionally, the XcalRep package provides multiple visualization tools to evaluate scanner reproducibility.
Visit XcalRep package site for documentation and step-by-step tutorials/vignettes.
Firstly, please install or update the package devtools by running
install.packages("devtools")
Then the XcalRep can be installed via
library(devtools)
devtools::install_github(repo = "NMikolajewicz/XcalRep")

| howto-faq-coercion {vctrs} | R Documentation |
This guide illustrates how to implement vec_ptype2()
and vec_cast()
methods for existing classes. Related topics:
For an overview of how these generics work and their roles in vctrs,
see ?theory-faq-coercion
.
For an example of implementing coercion methods for data frame
subclasses, see
?howto-faq-coercion-data-frame
.
For a tutorial about implementing vctrs classes from scratch, see
vignette("s3-vector")
We’ll illustrate how to implement coercion methods with a simple class
that represents natural numbers. In this scenario we have an existing
class that already features a constructor and methods for print()
and
subset.
#' @export new_natural <- function(x) { if (is.numeric(x) || is.logical(x)) { stopifnot(is_whole(x)) x <- as.integer(x) } else { stop("Can't construct natural from unknown type.") } structure(x, class = "my_natural") } is_whole <- function(x) { all(x %% 1 == 0 | is.na(x)) } #' @export print.my_natural <- function(x, ...) { cat("<natural>\n") x <- unclass(x) NextMethod() } #' @export `[.my_natural` <- function(x, i, ...) { new_natural(NextMethod()) }
new_natural(1:3) #> <natural> #> [1] 1 2 3 new_natural(c(1, NA)) #> <natural> #> [1] 1 NA
To implement methods for generics, first import the generics in your namespace and redocument:
#' @importFrom vctrs vec_ptype2 vec_cast NULL
Note that for each batches of methods that you add to your package, you need to export the methods and redocument immediately, even during development. Otherwise they won’t be in scope when you run unit tests e.g. with testthat.
Implementing double dispatch methods is very similar to implementing
regular S3 methods. In these examples we are using roxygen2 tags to
register the methods, but you can also register the methods manually in
your NAMESPACE file or lazily with s3_register()
.
vec_ptype2()
The first method to implement is the one that signals that your class is compatible with itself:
#' @export vec_ptype2.my_natural.my_natural <- function(x, y, ...) { x } vec_ptype2(new_natural(1), new_natural(2:3)) #> <natural> #> integer(0)
vec_ptype2()
implements a fallback to try and be compatible with
simple classes, so it may seem that you don’t need to implement the
self-self coercion method. However, you must implement it explicitly
because this is how vctrs knows that a class that is implementing vctrs
methods (for instance this disable fallbacks to base::c()
). Also, it
makes your class a bit more efficient.
Our natural number class is conceptually a parent of <logical>
and a
child of <integer>
, but the class is not compatible with logical,
integer, or double vectors yet:
vec_ptype2(TRUE, new_natural(2:3)) #> Error: Can't combine <logical> and <my_natural>. vec_ptype2(new_natural(1), 2:3) #> Error: Can't combine <my_natural> and <integer>.
We’ll specify the twin methods for each of these classes, returning the richer class in each case.
#' @export vec_ptype2.my_natural.logical <- function(x, y, ...) { # The order of the classes in the method name follows the order of # the arguments in the function signature, so `x` is the natural # number and `y` is the logical x } #' @export vec_ptype2.logical.my_natural <- function(x, y, ...) { # In this case `y` is the richer natural number y }
Between a natural number and an integer, the latter is the richer class:
#' @export vec_ptype2.my_natural.integer <- function(x, y, ...) { y } #' @export vec_ptype2.integer.my_natural <- function(x, y, ...) { x }
We no longer get common type errors for logical and integer:
vec_ptype2(TRUE, new_natural(2:3)) #> <natural> #> integer(0) vec_ptype2(new_natural(1), 2:3) #> integer(0)
We are not done yet. Pairwise coercion methods must be implemented for all the connected nodes in the coercion hierarchy, which include double vectors further up. The coercion methods for grand-parent types must be implemented separately:
#' @export vec_ptype2.my_natural.double <- function(x, y, ...) { y } #' @export vec_ptype2.double.my_natural <- function(x, y, ...) { x }
Most of the time, inputs are incompatible because they have different
classes for which no vec_ptype2()
method is implemented. More rarely,
inputs could be incompatible because of their attributes. In that case
incompatibility is signalled by calling stop_incompatible_type()
.
In the following example, we implement a self-self ptype2 method for a
hypothetical subclass of <factor>
that has stricter combination
semantics. The method throws when the levels of the two factors are not
compatible.
#' @export vec_ptype2.my_strict_factor.my_strict_factor <- function(x, y, ..., x_arg = "", y_arg = "") { if (!setequal(levels(x), levels(y))) { stop_incompatible_type(x, y, x_arg = x_arg, y_arg = y_arg) } x }
Note how the methods need to take x_arg
and y_arg
parameters and
pass them on to stop_incompatible_type()
. These argument tags help
create more informative error messages when the common type
determination is for a column of a data frame. They are part of the
generic signature but can usually be left out if not used.
vec_cast()
Corresponding vec_cast()
methods must be implemented for all
vec_ptype2()
methods. The general pattern is to convert the argument
x
to the type of to
. The methods should validate the values in x
and make sure they conform to the values of to
.
Please note that for historical reasons, the order of the classes in the
method name is in reverse order of the arguments in the function
signature. The first class represents to
, whereas the second class
represents x
.
The self-self method is easy in this case, it just returns the target input:
#' @export vec_cast.my_natural.my_natural <- function(x, to, ...) { x }
The other types need to be validated. We perform input validation in the
new_natural()
constructor, so that’s a good fit for our vec_cast()
implementations.
#' @export vec_cast.my_natural.logical <- function(x, to, ...) { # The order of the classes in the method name is in reverse order # of the arguments in the function signature, so `to` is the natural # number and `x` is the logical new_natural(x) } vec_cast.my_natural.integer <- function(x, to, ...) { new_natural(x) } vec_cast.my_natural.double <- function(x, to, ...) { new_natural(x) }
With these methods, vctrs is now able to combine logical and natural vectors. It properly returns the richer type of the two, a natural vector:
vec_c(TRUE, new_natural(1), FALSE) #> <natural> #> [1] 1 1 0
Because we haven’t implemented conversions from natural, it still doesn’t know how to combine natural with the richer integer and double types:
vec_c(new_natural(1), 10L) #> Error: Can't convert <my_natural> to <integer>. vec_c(1.5, new_natural(1)) #> Error: Can't convert <my_natural> to <double>.
This is quick work which completes the implementation of coercion methods for vctrs:
#' @export vec_cast.logical.my_natural <- function(x, to, ...) { # In this case `to` is the logical and `x` is the natural number attributes(x) <- NULL as.logical(x) } #' @export vec_cast.integer.my_natural <- function(x, to, ...) { attributes(x) <- NULL as.integer(x) } #' @export vec_cast.double.my_natural <- function(x, to, ...) { attributes(x) <- NULL as.double(x) }
And we now get the expected combinations.
vec_c(new_natural(1), 10L) #> [1] 1 10 vec_c(1.5, new_natural(1)) #> [1] 1.5 1.0

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * * * * out of * * * *
Life is Beautiful is a rare treat: a lighthearted comedy that tackles a very serious subject without committing the sins of being disrespectful, or, even worse, humorless. It combines a charming romance with a dash of farce, stirs in a little poignancy, and ends up a very enjoyable movie. It's an Italian film, but don't let that discourage you. Subtitle-phobes will be missing a wonderful experience.
Life is Beautiful opens as a sweet romantic comedy, with the clownish, but good natured Guido (Roberto Benigni) arriving in a rustic Italian town to work as a waiter for his uncle. The year is 1939, and Guido literally stumbles into the girl of his dreams, Dora (Nicoletta Braschi). Their romance seems to be picture perfect, with only one stumbling block: she's already engaged to another man. Can Guido overcome the odds and win his girl? What do you think?
However, five years later, things have taken a turn for the worse in Italy. The fascists have stepped up their race initiatives, which is bad news for the Jewish Guido and his new son Giosue (Giorgio Cantarini), who are rounded up and shipped off to a concentration camp.
Unable to protect his boy in any other way, Guido attempts to shield his young son from the horrors of the labor camp. He pretends that everything is all an elaborate game, with points awarded for such tasks as hiding, being brave and being very very quiet.
As you can tell from the description, Life is Beautiful has two very different tones, but manages to excel at both of them. As a romantic comedy, it is sweet and funny. As a bittersweet tale of hope amid despair, it is touching.
Roberto Benigni's work here has been compared with some of the best of Chaplin's, and it is easy to see why. He is able to run the gamut of comic expression, from slapstick to farce, with a warm-hearted feeling that celebrates his downtrodden hero's "triumph of the underdog" spirit.
Life is Beautiful treads a thin line when it turns its attentions to the Holocaust. However, it is able to successfully navigate the minefield, without demeaning the gravity of the horrors involved, nor without losing its humorous edge that allows you to smile through the tears.
With Life is Beautiful, Benigni has created a triumphant, but bittersweet comedy. It's quite simply one of the most enjoyable times I've had at the movies this year.

Midi2Abc version @version
Midi2Abc is a utility that attempts to translate simple midi tunes into ABC notation. Its intention is to allow you to use a midi keyboard as an input device to generate ABC scores for traditional tunes. Ideally, the tune should be monophonic, with a single melody line (without chords), complete with time signature - however multi-track midi files are supported if you're able to select the track that contains the melody. The translation will only be successful if the tune is played strictly in rhythm and with a minimum of ornamentation.


An Introduction to Two-Factor Authentication
Security is a journey, not a destination.
22 November 2015
Even if you create the strongest password in the world, there isn't much you can do to keep hackers out of your account once they get their hands on your password. People who use the same password for multiple accounts are especially screwed. If hackers discover one of your account passwords, you can bet they'll try to use it elsewhere too.
The solution to this is two-factor authentication (2FA). In addition to something you know (your password) you supply something you have, like a text message sent to your phone number or a security code generated via a key fob or an app on your phone. 2FA can also use something you are, like a fingerprint.
If you've ever visited an ATM, you've already used 2FA.  If someone steals your debit card they (usually) can't withdraw your money without your PIN. If someone figures out your PIN, there's not much they can do without your debit card.
2FA greatly improves your security. While it's easy to brute force or skim passwords for most accounts, it's much harder to gain access to the "something you have." Once an attacker compromises your password, he or she would then have to steal your phone or key fob.
Many major online services have incorporated 2FA into their accounts, but you have to opt-in to enable them. Companies like Dropbox, Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, and Apple support 2FA authentication. Take some time and check to see if the services you use support 2FA and enable it where supported.
In addition, keep this in mind:
- Never use the same password for more than one account. Use a password manager like LastPass or 1Password.
- Create strong passwords. Using a password manager makes this even easier by providing unique randomly generated secure passwords on-demand.


Tua Tagovailoa Injury Shakes Up 2020 NFL Draft Odds: Tua To Fall Out Of Top 10?
by Zack JonesEarly indications suggest that Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa underwent a successful hip surgery, and while doctors are predicting a full recovery, the injury itself has caused quite a shakeup across NFL Draft boards.LSU quarterback Joe Burrow was already on pace to top Tua in Heisman Trophy votes, but the verdict was still out as to which of these to SEC signal callers was best equipped to make the transition to the pros.
Oddsmakers at MyBookie have moved Burrow up to the -1200 to win the Heisman, with Tua falling to +1000, good enough for third in the running behind Ohio State’s Justin Fields (+600).
Many viewed Tua Tagovailoa as the most well rounded of the two prospects, but after sustaining an injury most commonly associated with a severe car crash, sportsbook oddsmakers are expecting the qb to fall out of the top ten selections, and are even questioning if he will make the transition to the NFL at all.
Tua Tagovailoa NFL draft position
- 1-10: +200
- 11-20: +150
- 21-32: +300
- Rounds 2-7: +300
Total QBs selected before Tagovailoa in 2020 NFL Draft
- Over 2.5
- Under 2.5
Will Tua Tagovailoa play for Alabama in Week 1 of 2020 season?
- Yes +300
- No -500
Doctors estimate that Tagovailoa should be able to throw again by spring 2020, but this timeline makes his participation in the NFL combine unlikely. A similar injury not only sidelined NFL star Bo Jackson, but ended his career, and teams in position to take a quarterback with an early pick can’t possibly sign on the rookie with any sort of confidence in his ability to return to his former abilities.
The +300 odds of him being selected in the 2nd to 7th rounds of the draft might offer up the best value, as teams are aware of his abilities, but the question marks surrounding his future have essentially taken him out of First Round consideration.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter compared the Tua situation to the one faced by Dallas Cowboy linebacker Jaylon Smith, who was highly regarded as the top defensive prospect in the 2016 NFL Draft and was expected to be a top ten pick.
In his final collegiate game, Smith suffered tears to both his ACL and MCL which saw his draft stock plummet, with him eventually being selected by the Cowboys with the 34th selection.
The silver lining in this comparison would be that Jaylon Smith and the Cowboys recently inked a five-year, $64 million contract extension prior to the start of the season, and was selected as team captain.
This does offer a glimmer of hope for Tagovailoa and his NFL future, but quarterbacks are subject to a different kind of punishment on a weekly basis, and ones hip mobility plays a major role in their throwing power and mechanics.
While the upcoming NFL draft might lack depth in quarterback talent, the


Khursheed Shah's judicial remand extended by 15 days by Sukkur accountability court
by https://www.dawn.com/authors/3663/ubaidullah-shaikh, Ubaidullah ShaikhPPP leader Khursheed Ahmed Shah was taken to jail on Friday for another 15-days after an accountability court in Sukkur extended his judicial remand.
He will be produced before the court on December 7.
Shah is being probed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for allegedly amassing assets beyond known means. During today's hearing, NAB counsel urged the court to extend Shah's judicial remand by 15 days. The court accepted the request.
Shah's lawyer told the court that his client's mobile phone had been taken away and requested that it be returned. NAB's counsel responded that the phone had been sent for a forensic examination and will be returned to Shah once it has been examined.
After the hearing, in response to a journalist's question about the proceedings of the case, Shah said: "I will talk openly once 90 days are over."
When asked if he thought that the allegations leveled against him were part of a "political conspiracy", he said: "You are journalists and live in Sukkur. You can investigate yourself."
The MNA was produced before the court in an ambulance from the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Sukkur, where he is undergoing treatment. His hospital room in NICVD was declared a sub-jail, earlier this month.
Strict security measures were put in place ahead of Shah's arrival. PPP workers and leaders including Nafeesa Shah and Owais Qadir were also present in the court.
The PPP leader was arrested by NAB's Sukkur and Rawalpindi teams in September this year.
Multiple corruption cases against him are under investigation with NAB. In 2012, an accountability court had directed NAB to file a reference against him on a complaint pertaining to alleged accumulation of illegitimate assets.
In 2013, NAB had reopened two corruption cases against Shah under the directives of the Lahore High Court.
In July this year, NAB Chairman retired justice Javed Iqbal had approved nine inquiries against different personalities, including Shah.
Correction: An earlier version of this story reported that PPP leader Khursheed Shah's remand was extended by 14 days. That error is regretted.

Hello, thank you for being here! I'm Yifan Zhu and for now I'm in the third year of studying in Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics(NUAA),College of Computer Science and Technology.Since I was admitted in NUAA in 2017, I have been sparing no efforts to seek for personal all-round development, in order to have a happier and fulfilled life. After two years' experiences of SRTP and studying in University of Edinburgh, School of Informatics in the first semester of 2019~2020 as a visiting student,I'm more than interested in machine learning and computer networking,distributed machine learning and edge computing in particular. Therefore, recently I'm trying to learn more about them and getting prepared for the next project. BTW, I'm also fond of reading, photographing and playing badminton:)

13.35. Release 0.208
Warning
This release has the potential for data loss in the Hive connector when writing bucketed sorted tables.
General Changes
- Fix an issue with memory accounting that would lead to garbage collection pauses and out of memory exceptions.
- Fix an issue that produces incorrect results when
push_aggregation_through_join
is enabled (#10724). - Preserve field names when unnesting columns of type
ROW
. - Make the cluster out of memory killer more resilient to memory accounting leaks. Previously, memory accounting leaks on the workers could effectively disable the out of memory killer.
- Improve planning time for queries over tables with high column count.
- Add a limit on the number of stages in a query. The default is
100
and can be changed with thequery.max-stage-count
configuration property and thequery_max_stage_count
session property. - Add
spooky_hash_v2_32()
andspooky_hash_v2_64()
functions. - Add a cluster memory leak detector that logs queries that have possibly accounted for memory usage incorrectly on workers. This is a tool to for debugging internal errors.
- Add support for correlated subqueries requiring coercions.
- Add experimental support for running on Linux ppc64le.
CLI Changes
- Fix creation of the history file when it does not exist.
- Add
PRESTO_HISTORY_FILE
environment variable to override location of history file.
Hive Connector Changes
- Remove size limit for writing bucketed sorted tables.
- Support writer scaling for Parquet.
- Improve stripe size estimation for the optimized ORC writer. This reduces the number of cases where tiny ORC stripes will be written.
- Provide the actual size of CHAR, VARCHAR, and VARBINARY columns to the cost based optimizer.
- Collect column level statistics when writing tables. This is disabled by default,
and can be enabled by setting the
hive.collect-column-statistics-on-write
property.
Thrift Connector Changes
- Include error message from remote server in query failure message.

| Parameters: | evokeds : instance of mne.Evoked | list | dict
If a single evoked instance, it is plotted as a time series.
If a dict whose values are Evoked objects, the contents are plotted as
single time series each and the keys are used as condition labels.
If a list of Evokeds, the contents are plotted with indices as labels.
If a [dict/list] of lists, the unweighted mean is plotted as a time
series and the parametric confidence interval is plotted as a shaded
area. All instances must have the same shape - channel numbers, time
points etc.
picks : int | list of int
If int or list of int, the indices of the sensors to average and plot.
Must all be of the same channel type.
If the selected channels are gradiometers, the corresponding pairs
will be selected.
If multiple channel types are selected, one figure will be returned for
each channel type.
If an empty list, gfp will be set to True, and the Global Field
Power plotted.
gfp : bool
If True, the channel type wise GFP is plotted.
If picks is an empty list (default), this is set to True.
colors : list | dict | None
If a list, will be sequentially used for line colors.
If a dict, can map evoked keys or ‘/’-separated (HED) tags to
conditions.
For example, if evokeds is a dict with the keys “Aud/L”, “Aud/R”,
“Vis/L”, “Vis/R”, colors can be dict(Aud=’r’, Vis=’b’) to map both
Aud/L and Aud/R to the color red and both Visual conditions to blue.
If None (default), a sequence of desaturated colors is used.
linestyles : list | dict
If a list, will be sequentially and repeatedly used for evoked plot
linestyles.
If a dict, can map the evoked keys or ‘/’-separated (HED) tags to
conditions.
For example, if evokeds is a dict with the keys “Aud/L”, “Aud/R”,
“Vis/L”, “Vis/R”, linestyles can be dict(L=’–’, R=’-‘) to map both
Aud/L and Vis/L to dashed lines and both Right-side conditions to
straight lines.
styles : dict | None
If a dict, keys must map to evoked keys or conditions, and values must
be a dict of legal inputs to matplotlib.pyplot.plot. These
parameters will be passed to the line plot call of the corresponding
condition, overriding defaults.
E.g., if evokeds is a dict with the keys “Aud/L”, “Aud/R”,
“Vis/L”, “Vis/R”, styles can be {“Aud/L”:{“linewidth”:1}} to set
the linewidth for “Aud/L” to 1. Note that HED (‘/’-separated) tags are
not supported.
vlines : list of int
A list of integers corresponding to the positions, in seconds,
at which to plot dashed vertical lines.
ci : float | None
If not None and evokeds is a [list/dict] of lists, a confidence
interval is drawn around the individual time series. This value
determines the CI width. E.g., if this value is .95 (the default),
the 95% parametric confidence interval is drawn.
If None, no shaded confidence band is plotted.
truncate_yaxis : bool
If True, the left y axis is truncated to half the max value and
rounded to .25 to reduce visual clutter. Defaults to True.
ylim : dict | None
ylim for plots (after scaling has been applied). e.g.
ylim = dict(eeg=[-20, 20])
Valid keys are eeg, mag, grad, misc. If None, the ylim parameter
for each channel equals the pyplot default.
invert_y : bool
If True, negative values are plotted up (as is sometimes done
for ERPs out of tradition). Defaults to False.
axes : None | matplotlib.pyplot.axes instance | list of axes
What axes to plot to. If None, a new axes is created.
When plotting multiple channel types, can also be a list of axes, one
per channel type.
title : None | str
If str, will be plotted as figure title. If None, the channel
names will be shown.
show : bool
If True, show the figure.

A good analogy is of a journalist and his or her boss-the editor. The journalist write a story and the editor uses a red pen and "makrs up" all the text that needs attention. For example, a circle might be drawn around a word with "i"(for "italics") noted in the margin. The journalist receives the story back and can make sense of the editor's notes, because in the publishing world there is a set of rules for such text editing.
The control flow is the order in which the computer executes statements in a script. Loops offer a quick and easy way to do something repeatedly. They repeat an action some number of times. The control flow and loop can be illustrated by getting the kids ready for school every day. The order of events (congtrol flow) is as follows. After waking up the kids at 7:30am, I preapare their lunch, while they get dressed, then I provide them breakfast, the kids eat breakfast, after which the children brush their teeth, wash face, put their lunch in their bags, put their bags on, go the car, I drive the car to school, drop off the children, drive back home. This is carried out everyday from Monday to Friday, like a continuious loop.

Prince Andrew urged to cooperate with US over Epstein
London - A lawyer for some of the alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein on Thursday said they wanted to speak to Prince Andrew about his links to the late convicted sex offender.
Queen Elizabeth II's second son, 59, has faced outrage for days after he gave a television interview in which he defended his friendship with the disgraced financier.

Andrew denies the allegations.
But on Wednesday he said he was stepping down from public duties because the outcry was causing "major disruption" to the royal family and the charities and organisations associated with it.
He said he was "willing to help any appropriate law enforcement agency with their investigations, if required".
US lawyer Lisa Bloom, who represents five women allegedly assaulted by Epstein, told BBC radio that Andrew should speak to everyone probing the allegations - including her.
"All of the staff who work for Prince Andrew should come and give information and evidence and the documents should be turned over - emails, texts, calendars, phone logs, travel logs - so we can get to the bottom of this," she said.
Bloom did not rule out approaching the prince directly to secure a sworn statement.
"We believe that nobody is above the law and that everybody should have to answer questions if they have relevant information - and he clearly does have relevant information."
Since the interview, Andrew has been accused of failing to show sympathy for Epstein's victims, prompting companies and organisations to reassess their ties with the royal.
Some institutions supporting business initiatives championed by the prince have either failed to renew their support or said it was under review.
Others have faced calls for Andrew to be dropped as patron.


Interview with TAFL Author Jesse Robinson
This is a part of an ongoing interview series with book authors who write about our favorite types of games. Jesse Robinson is the author of TAFL, one of the first books on Hnefatafl. Although the e-book was first self published in 2013, I only just recently had the pleasure of reading and reviewing it. I’m excited to be able to share this interview with others.
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I was born and raised in Massachusetts, but upon my son’s birth in 1990, we moved to Portland, Maine… and stayed there until 2005, when I moved to Japan. I have a “9-5’er” where I work in freezers at a food warehouse, but I’m also a maker of musical instruments - started way back when I was 13.
How did you first learn about hnefatafl?
If I remember correctly, my 4th grade teacher, Mr. Dobbins, from Farnsworth Elementary School in Peabody, Mass. (which later became an old folks’ home), had gotten our class into trying out different board games from around the world, including such games as “Warlord”, from China (or… was it Mongolia? Hmmm… ), and Shogi, from Japan. Since then, I’d seen Hnefatafl boards while thumbing through a book or two in libraries, but didn’t really research it much until years later. Once I did, I was intrigued.
What drew you in about it compared to other ancient board games?
Well, it seemed at first glance to be set up a bit unfairly, as one side had nearly double the pieces of the other… until I tried playing, from one side, and then the other. The side with the lesser amount was in the middle of the board, and outnumbered by the other side, surrounding the first group. Something about the positioning in this way, seemed to help things even out as the game played out in its unfolding strategies. It was quite interesting in that it seemed to be a fairly good example of war being made upon an encampment by surprise attack of some marauding horde. lol
What inspired you to write a book about hnefatafl?
It seemed not very well known out there, relatively… and I’m of both Native American (Siksika/Mohawk-Cree) and Norse descent - so I was attracted to the game as a part of the Nordic heritage. But I’d noticed that online, board game forum trolls would bicker and argue with each other about “the REAL AUTHENTIC rules”… when there really weren’t any, beyond the absolute basics. It seemed far more likely that, different camps, different kingdoms, different cabins and homes, different longboats… all had their specific preferences.
How long did it take to write the book?
Not really sure… I wanna say, less than a month, maybe? It wasn’t like a novel or anything… more like an introduction and list of rules/tutorial sort of thing, so it kind of wrote itself fairly quickly.
How did you feel when you first published it?
Uhm, good, I think… pretty much not unlike getting something on my “to-do list” crossed off, at first - but when I started getting some nice reviews, it felt kinda kickass 😊
What was the hardest chapters to write?
Hmmm… maybe the introduction? I tried my darnedest to express my passion, but without rambling on and on… ahahahaha
You also wrote a book about Nine Men’s Morris, what was the inspiration behind that?
It’s fairly related, in that, the oldest known finding of an ancient Tafl board was found amid a shipwreck (if I remember correctly), but the interesting thing was that a Morris board was found on the reverse face of it, for a bit of alternate game play. Also, as the Tafl board had gone through many phases of evolution in size and rules as it went from kingdom to kingdom, so did Morris… and perhaps had become even more spread world-wide.
Are there plans for more books or updates to the current one?
I had planned to do one on the many incarnations/rule-sets of Mancala, and also another on Egyptian Senet/Game of Ur.
I used to have a few I made, but now only one… but I plan to construct the largest one, Alea Evangelii, out of hardwoods sometime in the future.
Do you have a favorite set?
My present portable one - a buckskin pouch full of coloured glass “flat marbles” for the pieces, and when the pouch has its drawstring loosened, it lays flat… with a Tafl board inked on one side, and a Morris board on the other.
What is your favorite historic hnefatafl variant?
Not sure… I suspect that once I make that BIG one, that will be my favourite - but the smaller sized board variants are wonderful for toting around in a pocket-sized build, or even with coins on a board face drawn on paper.
What is your favorite modern variant?
The app on my phone. hahaha
How often do you play now?
Actually, it’s been many months - life things have been drastically taking my attention away. Changes in family (deaths, divorces, etc.) and my moving my workshop to a new location, bit by bit, has kept me busy - but I’m still a lover of the game. Plans for that big one I’d mentioned keep evolving in my mind 😊
Have you ever experimented with creating your own tafl variation?
Ideas HAVE floated through my mind, yes… like a gi-hugic version of Alea Evangelii… perhaps with certain “hazzards” to avoid on the board, with some sort of penalties for landing in them… it’s a work in progress ^_~

In an effort to get back on the blogging saddle, here’s a little note on default values in Python.
In Python there are often default values. The most typical default value is None — None is a object of vague meaning that almost screams "I’m a default". But sometimes None is a valid value, and sometimes you want to detect the case of "no value given" and None can hardly be called no value.
Here’s an example:
def getuser(username, default=None):
if not user_exists(username):
return default
...
In this case there is always a default, and so anytime you call getuser() you have to check for a None result. But maybe you have code where you’d really just like to get an exception if the user isn’t found. To get this you can use a sentinel. A sentinel is an object that has no particular meaning except to signal the end (like a NULL byte in a C string), or a special condition (like no default user).
Sometimes people do it like this:
_no_default = ()
def getuser(username, default=_no_default):
if not user_exists(username):
if default is _no_default:
raise LookupError("No user with the username %r" % username)
return default
...
This works because that zero-item tuple () is a unique object, and since we are using the comparison default is _no_default only that exact object will trigger that LookupError.
Once you understand the pattern, this is easy enough to read. But when you use help() or other automatic generation it is a little confusing, because the default value just appears as (). You could also use object() or [] or anything else, but the automatically generated documentation still won’t look that nice. So for a bit more polish I suggest:
class _NoDefault(object):
def __repr__(self):
return '(no default)'
NoDefault = _NoDefault()
del _NoDefault
def getuser(username, default=NoDefault):
...
You might then think "hey, why isn’t there one NoDefault that everyone can share?" If you do share that sentinel you run the risk of accidentally passing in that value even though you didn’t intend to. The value "NoDefault" will become overloaded with meaning, just as None is. By having a more private sentinel object you avoid that. A single nice sentinal factory (like _NoDefault in this example) would be nice, though. Though really PEP 3102 will probably make sentinals like this unnecessary for Python 3.0.
Note that you can also implement arguments with no default via *args and **kwargs, e.g.:
def getuser(username, *args):
if not user_exists(username):
if not args:
raise LookupError(...)
else:
return args[0]
But to do this right you should test that len(args)<=1, raise appropriate errors, maybe consider keyword arguments, and so one. It’s a pain in the butt, and when you’re finished the signature displayed by help() will be wrong anyway.

Using an empty tuple as a sentinel seems like a bad idea for similar reasons as using None. It’s a valid value and it’s not necessarily unique:
>>> a = ()
>>> b = ()
>>> a is b
True
Though it’s not a singleton like None, its immutability means that any variable set to the same value may point to the same object in memory. All the more reason to use your custom sentinel, or at least [] or object().
What is “del _NoDefault” for?
Something to keep in mind with regards to sentinel values is whether or not you want to be able to pickle them.
Schevo uses a metaclass to provide repr and str for the class itself, as well as some metaclass subclasses that also provide nonzero, cmp, len for Schevo’s special UNASSIGNED constant.
See http://github.com/gldnspud/schevo/tree/master/schevo/constant.py
When pickling an instance of a sentinel class, you have a situation where the in-memory singleton instance of a sentinel class is not the same object as an unpickled instance of the same class, therefore “is” comparisons won’t work.
By pickling the class itself, when the sentinel is unpickled it becomes a reference to the class itself, so “is” comparisons work as intended.
Just create an instance of object for your sentinel
What Matthew said, but simpler, just create the sentinel class and use that, use a naming convention like ‘NoDefaultSentinel’ and that’s it, but I find it difficult to find a sane use case for that, if you have control over the call why don’t you use the signature def(user, defualt=None,nodefault=False): …?
There have been a handful of times I’ve come across similar patterns, but I’ve skipped your step of making NoDefault an object. This works just as well:
On a totally off-topic note, if I don’t fill in my email and I hit “post”, I’m asked for the “admin” login via http authentication.
Mostly I don’t use a class when I want to define
__repr__
. I used to just use a NoDefault class, but in generated documentation it looks bad. I don’t pickle things very often so that aspect hasn’t come up. Also these objects should really only be used locally in a module, they aren’t something you should hold onto… but of course if you did for some reason, you’d end up with a very hard to debug problem. I suspect by doingdel NoDefault
that you’d at least stop pickle from unpickling the object.Alec and Ian:
I tend to use (1,) as my sentinel.
>>> MARKER1 = (1,)
>>> MARKER2 = (1,)
>>> MARKER1 is MARKER2
False
Thus you can use it to give different sentinels distinct instances. I feel Ian’s solution is a bit .. much .. for such a simple thing.
As pointed out, the trouble with Ian’s example is that different zero-item tuples are not guaranteed to be unique:
I dislike it for that reason, but also because it’s not clear that the zero-item tuple might not mean something else. This also rules out, for me, other objects that seem to have a potential meaning in themselves.
So my preference is for a bald instance of the ‘object’ type:
The statement creating the object is pretty clearly not creating an object that is useful for anything other than being unique. This makes it distinct in a way that a tuple, of whatever length, is not; and so that makes it uniquely suitable for defining a sentinel value.


Charles Rhines executed: Killer who stabbed doughnut shop worker is put to death
Charles Rhines, 63, from South Dakota, US, was convicted after the 1992 killing
by Matthew Dresch, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/matthew-dresch/A man who stabbed a doughnut shop co-worker to death has been executed by lethal injection tonight.
Charles Rhines, 63, from South Dakota, US, was convicted after the 1992 killing.
Rhines was sentenced to death for killing Donnivan Schaeffer, 22, while robbing the doughnut shop in Rapid City, South Dakota.
The US Supreme Court had denied three 11th-hour petitions for stays of his execution.
He died at the South Dakota State Penitentiary, in Sioux Falls, at 7.39pm local time last night.
The murderer believed he was targeted by an anti-gay bias as testimony showed some jury thought it would be better for him to die than to co-habit with another man.
One juror, Harry Keeney, told Rhines' legal team: "We also knew that he was a homosexual and thought that he shouldn't be able to spend life with men in prison."
In his last words, the killer told the parents of Mr Schaeffer, 22, that he 'forgave' them for their 'anger and hatred' towards him.
Speaking just before his execution, Rhines reportedly said: "Ed and Peggy Schaeffer, I forgive you for your anger and hatred toward me.
"I pray to God that he forgives you for your anger and hatred toward me. Thanks to my team. I love you all, goodbye. Let's go. That's all I have to say. Goodbye."
The victim's mum told a press conference last night: "Today do something kind for someone in honor (of Donnivan)... he is loved and missed and will never be forgotten.
"We will miss him, and have missed him for so long."
She described her son as 'the boy with a goofy, contagious laugh' who would have been a great asset to society.
The mother added that last night's execution marked 'relief and justice'.
Mr Schaeffer’s fiancée, who witnessed the murderer's death, added: “This closes the book on Rhines, but we will forever feel the pain and emotion."
The murderer's last meal request was fried chicken, the fruit cantaloupe or musk melon, the Norwegian flatbread lefsa, yogurt, butter, black licorice, cookies and cream ice cream, root beer and coffee with cream and sugar.

The introduction to this really gives a lot of valid reasons why jupyter notebooks are not typically as good as others tout them to be. From Project Jupyter themselves no less!

- Learning Haskell in 2019 interested me because I was trying to think about how this blog would look like in other languages. For Julia its a book and there’s no build tools, for R its all seemingly sewn up in RStudio these days (thanks Hadley) but python is the wild west with anybody with a gun claiming to be sheriff.

To increase the upper memory limit increase the Memory Limit value.
The upper limit is the RAM memory available in your computers.
For example, if you computer has 2GB of RAM memory, you can change
the value to a maximum value of 2048 (and usually the actual limit
is a bit lower than the max).
If the selected value is not supported by your system (32 bits only),
PeptideShaker will try to reduce it automatically.
Note that PeptideShaker needs to restart in order to take
the new settings into account.
