What internet speeds are recommended to stream PlayStation Now games?
Source: Android Central
Best answer: The higher the better! According to PlayStation, 5 Mbps is the minimum requirement to stream PlayStation Now. However, this is the minimum and even at high speeds, players have noticed input lag and compression.
- If you haven't already subscribed: PlayStation Now ($60/year at Amazon)
PlayStation Now
Streaming services are a wonderful concept for gamers. For the price of one or two AAA titles a year you can choose from hundreds of games to play. You can test out titles you aren't sure you would enjoy enough to drop $60 on or play some old games you never got around to playing. PlayStation Now even offers old PS3 and PS2 titles if you are feeling nostalgic. However, if you want to stream instead of downloading those games you may run into some problems.
Tortoise or the hare
Sony PlayStation recommends a minimum download speed of 5 Mbps to stream PlayStation Now. This happens to also be its recommendation for Share Play and Remote Play. It's a nice, safe number that most ISP's can provide and a majority of PlayStation customers can achieve.
To check your connection speeds there are some free speed tests online, I prefer to use SpeedTest.net. They are a safe way to check your speeds and mark servers that don't offer a secure testing warning.

You can also check your internet speed directly on your PS4 by going to your Network Settings and clicking on Test Internet Connection. This will show you both your download and upload speeds.
 A warning will appear in the upper right corner of your screen with a countdown to the disconnect. Save quickly!
At low internet speeds, your graphics will often be compressed to help reduce latency. The compression isn't always noticeable but at other times it can become headache-inducing blurry. My PS4 internet speed averages about 22 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up — this is about half of my internet speed due to a wireless connection. At this speed, I find the games playable but not enjoyable. There is noticeable input lag and enough compression that words can be difficult to read. Even players with nearly 100 Mbps have said they experience noticeable input lag, though their graphics do look sharper.
The hare won't always win
PlayStation Now streaming is far better the faster your internet speed is, but even with the fastest connections, you can experience input lag. Latency is nobody's friend.
While 5 Mbps is the minimum requirement, the recommended internet speed to stream PlayStation Now is as fast as you can get. Games are playable at my 22 Mbps but I will be continuing to download the games from PlayStation Now to play them locally instead of streaming. This might be the best option for the average player until PlayStation Now's service can match local play conditions.
PlayStation Now does offer a seven-day free trial period so you might as well give it a shot. See how PlayStation Now runs with your internet. If you aren't bothered by the input lag, then great. If it's too much to handle you still download games from the service or cancel and you haven't lost anything but a little time.
Our pick
PlayStation Now Annual
Equivalent to $5 a month
For the price of a single AAA title PlayStation Now offers access to both the lastest game releases and old favorites. Over 300 games are downloadable and 800 are streamable (if you don't mind a little lag).

@JackKinsella in Guide To Autodidactism
Learning learning strategies should be treated as equally fundamental in our schools, yet it isn’t. My schooling reality starkly differed, in that the powers that were deemed it preferable to dedicate an hour a day during our fifth year at primary school learning the names of all the rivers, lakes and mountains in Ireland, names I have long forgotten. Wouldn’t it have been nice if they had taught us the more portable and relevant skill of how to memorise any arbitrary long list of items?
These notes give me hope for adopting better habits to assist in memory.

Designed and developed for the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) to perform multi-vehicle simulations on various terrains.
Capable of legged maneuvers as well as wheeled locomotion. Each robot comes equipped with a series of sensors including a 320p camera, 4 IR rangers, 1 Sonar, 4 microswitches, shaft encoders and servo readouts.
The onboard circuits are proprietary PCBs, designed and developed in-house. The robot is controlled by a PIC32 microcontroller.
Each PIC32 is preloaded with custom firmware that provides actuator control methods, odometry methods and wireless communication with the included PC application. The PC application connects wirelessly to the robots via RF. The PC application can query sensors, control actuators and bootload programs to the onboard PIC32s.

Software Intern at Socket Mobile
Summer, 2018
At Socket Mobile I completed many small projects using new languages and frameworks I was previously unfamiliar with. I created a website backend and frontend, wrote lots of build scripts for linux and windows servers, and even did some work with firmware installers and data transfer protocols. I used C#, bash scripting, powershell scripting (for windows), XML, the C# .NET framework, and YModem. This internship also helped me sharpen my python and git skills, as I used those almost every day.
All the projects I completed are detailed in the "Projects" page.

As the EPA, homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead in their water fixtures. As the Nation witnessed in Flint, MI, in 2016, pipe corrosion can result in rapid and drastic drinking water contamination.
Lead can be found in some metal water taps, interior water pipes, or pipes connecting a house to the main water pipe in the street. Lead found in tap water usually comes from the corrosion of older fixtures or from the solder that connects pipes. When water sits in leaded pipes for several hours, lead can leach into the water supply.
10 million American homes and buildings receive water from service lines that are at least partially lead, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Despite the dire problem of lead poisoning, there is no national plan to get rid of pipes that contain lead. We offer you the opportunity to inspect your pipes so that you control the decision to change them out.

--- layout: post title: Generating representative streamlines for the human connectome categories: [neuroimaging,development,data-analysis] tags: [connectome,tractography,python] description: Explore methods for generating a single streamline that best summarises a group of streamlines by taking the median of all streamlines. front-page: true ---
For diffusion data we choose to use FA and tensor data from the IIT Human Brain ATlas (v.3.1) (2014 NeuroImage Paper), which includes template diffusion data generated from 72 healthy human subjects. In the future we may wish to repeat this process using the supplied HARDI data rather than DTI.
wget http://www.nitrc.org/frs/download.php/6898/IITmean_FA.nii.gz -O iit_mean_fa.nii.gz wget http://www.nitrc.org/frs/download.php/6904/IITmean_tensor.nii.gz -O iit_mean_tensor.nii.gz
For our immediate purpose, we want to generate representative streamlines that relate to regions of interest (ROIs) that were used in a previous study. We are using the JHU ROIs packaged in NiiStat. The image contains 189 regions of interest all labeled with corresponding integers.
wget https://github.com/neurolabusc/NiiStat/blob/master/roi/jhu.nii?raw=true -O jhu_roi.nii # we're using compressed NIfTI format on our system... so let's go with that gzip jhu_roi.nii
Upon examination of the images, it seems that that regions of interest are not in standard space - they seem to be centered in the same space but seem smaller.
Registering regions of interest to a given space presents a challenge because the intensities in the image correspond to a label rather than useful information for a typical registration algorithm. In this case, our best bet is to register the silhouettes of the two images. We can binarize each image and seek a linear mapping between the two.
# binarize the images fslmaths iit_mean_fa -bin iit_mean_fa_mask -odt char fslmaths jhu_roi -bin jhu_roi_mask -odt char # find a linear mapping from jhu-roi --> IITmean_FA flirt -in jhu_roi-mask -ref iit_mean_fa_mask -omat jhu_to_icbm.mat # apply the registration (using nearest neighbor interpolation because # we need to preserve the integer labels) flirt -in jhu_roi -ref iit_mean_fa -init jhu_to_icbm.mat -applyxfm -interp nearestneighbour -o jhu_roi_to_icbm
The resulting ROIs map much better to the FA in ICBM space.
Figure 2: ROIs now map well to FA image
We can use diffusion toolkit to generate streamlines. We only need to provide the diffusion tensors and a mask to designate valid seed and tracking voxels. We will use an angle threshold of 50, an FA threshold of 0.2. Both x and y directions will need to be inverted during tracking - this is typical for LAS oriented data.
dti_tracker iit_mean iit_streamlines.trk -at 50 -m iit_mean_fa.nii.gz 0.2 1 -ix -iy -it nii.gz
We now have streamlines generated in ICBM space. We can see them here, overlayed on our FA volume.
Figure 3: Streamlines overlayed on FA
# using the previously prepared ROI image, and streamlines, generate a # "connectome" by counting the number of streamlines that start in # region *i* and terminate in region *j* for all combinations of # regions *i* and *j*. import muscip.connectome as mcon C = mcon.TNDtkConnectome(fibers='iit_streamlines.trk', min_fiber_length=5., max_fiber_length=500., roi_image='jhu_roi_to_icbm.nii.gz') C.generate_network() # this may take a long time!!! # save the connectome so we don't need to re-compile C.write('iit-jhu-ctome') # show the connection matrix for purpose of QA import numpy as np import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as plt fig = plt.figure('Connection Matrix') plt.imshow(np.log10(1+C.matrix_for_key('fiber_count'))) plt.colorbar() fig.tight_layout() plt.savefig('img/iit_jhu_ctome_cmat.png') 'img/iit_jhu_ctome_cmat.png'
Figure 4: Connectivity Matrix
We start by taking each set of fibers belonging to a pair of regions in the connectome, using a bit of code in dipy to downsample all of the streamlines in the set in such a way that they have a fixed number of points (in our case 18, as suggested in Garyfallidis 2014).
To get an idea of what is going on, let's visualize the process of generating the centroid for the set of streamlines connecting regions 1 and 2 (superior frontal gyrus of the left and right hemispheres respectively).
Note that our method is robust to tracking artifacts in our example (these connections should probably be contained entirely within the corpus callosum - the streamlines running down the corticospinal tract and crossing at the pons are probably not real).
# setup visualization from dipy.viz import fvtk ren = fvtk.ren() fvtk.clear(ren) ren.SetBackground(1,1,1) # read in previously compiled connectome import muscip.connectome as mcon C = mcon.read('iit-jhu-ctome') # select the set of streamlines connecting regions [1](left superior # frontal gyrus) to [2](right superior frontal gyrus) S = C.network[1][2]['fibers'] # downsample the streamlines to 18 points (Garyfallidis 2014) and # store them in a new array... but while we're doing this check if we # need to flip the streamline because it could be started in region 1 # or 2, but to do comparisons, we need to standardize by making them # all oriented similar (although which orientation we choose is not # important) from dipy.tracking.metrics import downsample import numpy as np NUM_POINTS = 18 S18 = np.ndarray((len(S), NUM_POINTS, 3), dtype=np.float32) # grab the first streamline and downsample first_sl = downsample(S[0], NUM_POINTS) # define a function to determine the distance between this first # streamline and any other given streamline cumdist = lambda sl: np.sqrt(np.sum((sl-first_sl)**2)) # for each streamline in the set for idx, sl in enumerate(S): sl = downsample(sl, NUM_POINTS) # reverse the streamline orientation if needed if cumdist(sl) > cumdist(sl[::-1]): sl = sl[::-1] # and store in the downsampled streamlines S18[idx] = sl # add the set of downsampled streamlines to the scene fvtk.add(ren, fvtk.streamtube(S18, fvtk.colors.grey, opacity=0.01)) # calculate the representative streamline for this set by taking the # median xyz the set for all 18 points rep_sl = np.median(S18, axis=0) # add the representative streamiline to the scene and make it stand # out! fvtk.add(ren, fvtk.streamtube([rep_sl], fvtk.colors.red, linewidth=2.5)) # save out the image fvtk.show(ren, size=(600,600), title='representative-streamline-example')
Figure 5: Streamlines between superior frontal gyri in grey, median streamline in red
This process is then extrapolated to process every combination of regions where connections exist.

Unit 7: Compression
This is an archived version of this module from Spring 2022.
Click here for the current iteration.
This unit covers classic compression techniques; we discuss
- character encodings (ASCII, UTF-8)
- Huffman codes
- run-length encoding (RLE)
- Elias gamma codes
- Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW)
- move-to-front (MTF) text transform
- Burrows-Wheeler transform (BWT)
including their properties and what types of redundancies in data they can exploit.
Learning outcomes
- Understand the necessity for encodings and know ASCII and UTF-8 character encodings.
- Understand (qualitatively) the limits of compressibility.
- Know and understand the algorithms (encoding and decoding) for Huffman codes, RLE, Elias codes, LZW, MTF, and BWT, including their properties like running time complexity.
- Select and adapt (slightly) a compression pipeline for specific type of data.

Hi David, by default, an image is
rendered inline, like a letter so it
sits on the same line that a, b, c and d
sit on. There is space below that line
for the descenders you find on letters
like g, j, p and q.

I have this never ending desire of collecting all natural & nude shades, and it never seems to lessen. Nude perfection from Avon Moisture Rich is a latest addition to my stash. This is my first lipcolor from the range, and I am not disappointed.
Price: Rs.375, but often found with discountsAvon says: Our most moisture-infused lipstick…for the lushest color you’ve ever known! Up to 500% moisture boost. 1000% full-on sexy lips. Ribbons of rich moisturizers intertwine with seductively smooth color for a sensuous surge of deep hydration.
My Experience: I like it and love it. Its very sheer and works like a nude gloss with subtle shimmer particles. I pair it with Avon glimmerstick nude lipliner and I am good to go. Best part is that its moisturizing and doesn't dry out the lips at all. Now the worst part the stay power, its all gone after snacks, else it stays for around 2 hours.
The colors bullet is really beautiful, with awesome swirls crying out loud... try me ... try me What I like:

A sower of Rain prevented our move at the houre appointed, but we took up the Line of March at 7 o'Clock and found the way extremely bad, much embarrassed by the thickness of the woods on the left and by a number of Steep Reviens on the Right, after proceeding about 2 hours our Spies & advance guard Discovered the Enemy and received their fire, but with inconsiderable Loss were driven back and joined the main Body of the Army, by this time the Right division, Comded by Genl. Wilkinson felt the effects of the Enemeys fire, they was immediately formed & returned the fire, at this period Capt. Campbell troop made a charge in which he fell & his Troop immediately proceeded through surported by the Infantry's charge which oblidged the enemey to quit theire position and look for more advantagous ground. on our Left & they made an exertion to gaine that Flank but Colo Hamtramck who commanded in that Quarter was perpared & gave them so warm a recption as made theire Situation here as disagreeable as that on the Right, and the charge both on the Right & left both became Genl. & the Enemy was repulsed with precipation; The charge of the Cavelry closed the seene in front & drove the Enemey 3/4 of a mile at the same instant, The Riflemen & Light Infantry, receved a most heavy fire, on the extreem left flank, The Entrepid Lieut. Towls fell at this fire, We drove the Enemy for about one mile directly out, with the Loss of Lieut. Towls & a fiew Infantry on our Side, in this quater was Killed 3 white men & several Indians mostly by the Riflemen. the Troops were now refreshed with 1/2 a gill of Whiskey which they much required as the action continued more then an houre, the greater part of which time they were in full Speed pressing the Enemey—after remaining on this ground a fiew hours Dureing which time the wounded were Brought in Dressed &c we proceeded within about one mile of the British Garrison and there took up our Encampment.
I shall now make a fiew observations or reflections on the Buisness of this day. Had the Enemey for once forsaken theire long established mode of fighting (Viz) that of extending theire lines so as to gaine the flanks of theire advasary—for by this means they so weakened themselves in all points as not to be able to make but a feable resistance in any one, much less beat & confuse the lines of theire opposers, which in this case they might have easily done, had they kept themselves compact and advanced with Judgement. (I say had the Enemey been formed in tolerable close orders and advanced in the first instance, close on the heals of our retireing Spies & Advanced guard, I am Satisfied they would have made a Breach in any part of our Columns as our Front was so extended as to render the whole in any one part, unequal to the resistants of a well formed body rapidly advancing on them, besides our orders or mode of Formation required very considerable time to performe the perparitory Evolutions: on the other hand, had the Kentucky Volunters (who composed half of our forces) been so disposed of as to have gained the reare of the Enemy soon after they commenced the attack, Then I am Satisfied we should had the pleasure of seeing every Head of this dreaded Hydra at our feet; but from theire Situation or (as some say for the want of orders) they were so far from gaining this grand position, that not more then 300 out of 1500 well mounted Riflemen were ever brought to action, and they but a fiew moments. Cannot but be astonished when the world informed that the Comdr in Chief had been told on the day previous to the action, by an officere of Rank an credebillity (Majr Price of the Volunteers who commd a sort of Independant partizan-corps and had been sent for the Express purpose) that the Enemey were laying in wait for us & formed in Such a possition" & also gave His Excellency an exact Discription of the ground I say, the whole world cannot but be surprised that the Comdr in Chief did not availe himself of this advantage & by throwing the Voluntiers in the reare of the Enemey & eventually cut off theire retreat: but so far was his Excelcy from thus putting an end to this expensive war (I believe that the atack of the Enemey at the time it happined was actually a matter of Surprise to almost every officer in the army—The Bodies of Capt. Campbell & Lieutenant Towles (the only officers killed) were entered immediately after the action. The whole ammount of the Killed on our part were 240 the loss of the Enemey not precisely ascertained but not more than 30 or 40 were found Dead, and a fiew Canadians one was taken prisoner, who was a treader amoung the Indians, and says they opposed us with about 900 Indians & 150 Canadians.

DIRECTED BY: Martin Brest WRITTEN BY: Ron Osborn, Jeff Reno, Kevin Wade and Bo Goldman (based on the play "Death Takes a Holiday" by Alberto Casella CAST: Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, Claire Forlani, Jeffrey Tambor
MPAA: Rated PG-13 for an accident scene, some sexuality and brief strong language. Runtime: USA:178 REVIEWED BY: Alex Ioshpe (C) 1998
RATING: 3/10
I have never been so confused after watching a movie. "Meet Joe Black" is probably one of the most visually satisfying films of this year, with a cinematography, music and cast that will dazzle most of us.
At first you marvel at the elegant direction, graceful cinematography and sensual musical score. Then you'll wait for something to happen for half an hour, but when you finally understand what's going on, you'll wonder what are actors such as Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt and Claire Forlani are doing in a film like this? The script is simply a silly and unresolved story, which is artificially stretched into a three hour long motion picture. It feels like an eternity. Most of the time it is a pompous soap opera, filled with empty dialogue that the actors deliver in a high pitched voice and " meaningful" winks.
The film is based on Alberto Caesella's play "Death Takes A Holiday". The story concentrates around Bill (Anthony Hopkins) who lives a fulfilled life as a successful business man, but sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night and hears a voice that is saying "yes". Soon he meets a young elegant gentlemen (Brad Pitt) who introduces himself as "Death". It is Bill's time. But Death has other plans. It has come down to us simple mortals to find out what it means to be alive. Our Bill is chosen to be Death's guide and in exchange he gets time. Bill introduces Death as Joe Black, who immediately becomes the center of everyone's attention. Bill's business partners speculate about why Joe is constantly at Bill's side, lives in his house and resides at his office. That is not all, however. Bill's youngest daughter Susan (Claire Forlani) falls in love with the mysterious stranger and Joe falls in love with her. This relationship is bound to have some serious consequences.
It wouldn't be fair to say that this film didn't have some interesting moments, such as the scene where Joe is invited to join Bill's family for dinner. When Joe starts enjoying peanut butter and later falls in love, the experience is somewhat different. It is obvious that a story like this story is very difficult to structure. It's one thing to say: "Wouldn't it be fun to have Death take human form and come down to earth.." To create a motion picture out of this is another. Four screenwriters have worked on a script that lacks drive and logic. It is overlong and too primitive to pass as a serious film. On the other hand it demonstrates incredible performances and a very decent direction by Martin Brest ("Scent of a Woman"). Hopkins looks great in any role, and no matter how shallow or hollow it is, he will complete it. His talent and charisma are needed here more than any where else, since it actually saves the film from a complete embarrassment. But Pitt is the one that got one of the most difficult roles of recent time. How can you play Death in human form? To me it seems that death and life are not something that can be associated with earthly matters. They are not creatures, but phenomenas. Saying that death takes human form would be the same as to suggest that eternity would take human form. Handling such a ridiculous task is incredibly difficult and Pitt deserves some credit for his work. Speaking in a calm, soft voice, portraying Death as a lonely, distant and powerful guy that is unfamiliar with practical earthly matters. He looks and acts more like an Angel of Death, rather than a demon or a red-eyed executioner. Claire Forlani and others are also fine, stretching their stereotypical characters to their limits. Unfortunately their performances are not enough to rescue this film from its self inflicted misery.
In other words this is not what I expected from the director of "Scent of a Woman". It could (and should) be better with such cast and crew. In the end it seems as if they have all been intensively working on a ravishingly looking soap opera.

int MPI_Comm_free(MPI_Comm *comm)
MPI_COMM_FREE(COMM, IERROR)
A reference-count mechanism may be used: the reference count is
incremented by each call to MPI_COMM_DUP, and decremented by
each call to MPI_COMM_FREE. The object is ultimately
deallocated when the count reaches zero.
Though collective, it is anticipated that this operation will normally
be implemented to be local, though
a
debugging version of an MPI library might
choose to synchronize.
( End of advice to implementors.)
INTEGER COMM, IERROR
{ void MPI::Comm::Free() (binding deprecated, see Section Deprecated since MPI-2.2
) }
This collective operation marks the communication object for
deallocation. The handle is set to MPI_COMM_NULL.
Any pending operations that use this communicator will complete normally;
the object is actually
deallocated only if there are no other active references to it.
This call applies to intra- and inter-communicators. The delete callback
functions for all cached attributes (see Section Caching
) are
called in arbitrary order.

Woman says cellphone shot from hand when bullets hit home
by EndPlayPROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Police in Rhode Island say multiple shots were fired into a home including one a woman says shot a cellphone out of her hand.
Providence police say they were dispatched to a Wesleyan Avenue home Thursday night in response to shots fired. Police say 32-year-old Jessica Sims was in bed when multiple shots came through the wall.
Sims told police her cellphone was in her hand at the time and was shot from her hand.
The Providence Journal reports two other people were at home at the time of the shooting: 30-year-old Kareen Shields and 21-year-old Samantha Rivera.
Authorities say seven bullet holes were found in the house. The investigation is ongoing. No arrests have been made.

These are the days of elfs and fays:
Who says that with the dreams of myth,
These imps and elves disport themselves?
Ah no, along the paths of song
Do all the tiny folk belong.
Round all our homes,
Kobolds and gnomes do daily cling,
Then nightly fling their lanterns out.
And shout on shout, they join the rout,
And sing, and sing, within the sweet enchanted ring.
Where gleamed the guile of moonlight’s smile,
Once paused I, listening for a while,
And heard the lay, unknown by day,—
The fairies’ dancing roundelay.
Queen Mab was there, her shimmering hair
Each fairy prince’s heart’s despair.
She smiled to see their sparkling glee,
And once I ween, she smiled at me.
Since when, you may by night or day,
Dispute the sway of elf–folk gay;
But, hear me, stay!
I’ve learned the way to find Queen
Mab and elf and fay.
Where e’er by streams, the moonlight gleams,
Or on a meadow softly beams,
There, footing round on dew–lit ground,
The fairy folk may all be found.

In 2017, Under Armour added Gervonta "Tank" Davis to its growing athlete roster of incredible young talent. With a current professional boxing record of 18-0
with 17 knockouts, Davis has become a must-see fighter in the super-featherweight division while consistently dominating his opponents. His undeniable talent
landed him in the professional ranks at the age of 18 and he hasn't looked back since. He just defended his IBF super-featherweight title with an
impressive performance, resulting in a third round knockout on May 20th.

This benchmark aims at developing a program that controls a KUKA youBot robot to pick a cube and move it to a target position.
The benchmark metric is the time t spent by the robot to pick the green cube and place it in the empty slot of the box located on the cart. The timer starts as soon as the simulation start and stops when the cube is in the slot. At this point, the simulation time is recorded as the performance of the robot.
The basic controller is an open-loop program that simply sets the velocity or position of the motors and waits for a given time until the robot reaches the desired position. There are different strategies to reduce the execution time. For example you can increase the motors velocity, tune the duration of the steps, and parallelize the motions.
Instead of waiting for a predefined amount of time between the different motions, a more elegant and efficient solution is to use the PositionSensor values to exactly determine when the movement is completed. If you look at the provided Python program controlling the youBot robot, you will find a sample code to monitor one of the arm joint position:
# Monitor the arm joint position to detect when the motion is completed. while robot.step(timestep) != -1: if abs(armPositionSensors[3].getValue() - (-1.2)) < 0.01: # Motion completed. break
Some information about the environment and the robot that can be useful to improve the controller:


UK's Corbyn: Labour to exclude NHS, medicines from trade deals with U.S.
by Reuters(Reuters) - UK opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn said the Labour Party will exclude Britain's National Health Service and medicines from trade deals with the United States, as he accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson of covering up "secret talks" on the NHS.
"Boris Johnson is engaged in a cover-up of secret talks for a sell-out American trade deal that would drive up the cost of medicines and lead to runaway privatization of our health service," Corbyn wrote in the Observer
"Our public services are not bargaining chips to be traded in secret deals. I pledge a Labour government will exclude the NHS, medicines and public services from any trade deals – and make that binding in law", he added.

I made a couple resolutions on the blog last year, and we've succeeded in a big one: We are debt free. That's an important step in our journey.
I've been reading The Essentials of Living Aboard a Boat, and April and I have been enjoying Sell Up and Sail.
I've gotten a couple bids for shipping some of our stuff out on uship.

This class installs a SEGFAULT signal handler to print a nice stack trace and (if requested) generate a core dump.
In DeathHandler's constructor, a SEGFAULT signal handler is installed via sigaction(). If your program encounters a segmentation fault, the call stack is unwinded with backtrace(), converted into function names with line numbers via addr2line (fork() + execlp()). Addresses from shared libraries are also converted thanks to dladdr(). All C++ symbols are demangled. Printed stack trace includes the faulty thread id obtained with pthread_self() and each line contains the process id to distinguish several stack traces printed by different processes at the same time.
| bool Debug::DeathHandler::appendPid | ( | ) |
Returns the value indicating whether to append the process id to each stack trace line.
| bool Debug::DeathHandler::cleanup | ( | ) |
Sets the value of cleanup property.
If cleanup is set to true, program attempts to run all static destructors and atexit() callbacks before terminating. If generateCoreDump is set to true, this property is ignored.
| bool Debug::DeathHandler::colorOutput | ( | ) |
Returns the value indicating whether to color the output with ANSI escape sequences.
