Eclipse of the sun
Title
Eclipse of the sun
Collection
Summary
An account of an eclipse of the sun. It crosses over into the sky and makes the people's head-hair resemble grass. They stare at the sky and wonder at what the sun is doing to make things appear this way. They wait and watch the colours of the sky change. ||kabbo (Jantje) explains that, for that time, the sun became a halo.

Recently I posted the question who Gasoil Inc is and I have been thinking a bit from time to time, and thought I’d share some ideas. It seems that entrepreneurs, companies, you name it, do that sometimes. Instead of founding a new business from scratch, they just buy a hollow shell of a business, that in this case was already listed some time, and hence save a bit of working getting the legal side up and running. Of course there is the problem of not knowing if there has been some prior business where people will complain and want some money, but if you can rule that out, you save both time and money.

In this case I would presume that Gasoil Inc will be renamed in some time into something like Google Investment Inc, or Google Agency Services, doing something different then Google but still being run by the people behind it. It would probably not have Google in its name though because Google itself does not seem to be affiliated with the company. I could imagine that those inside have given some of their shares to the company which might mean that it does not have to be filed with the SEC filing of Google itself. Not sure though.

Maybe Gasoil Inc will also hold securely the data that Google Scans from Libraries so that people do not wonder if Google is now a content holder. There are surely some other ideas I’d love to hear about and I am still looking for answers. Ok, mailing Google’s investors service might be an idea.

Maybe they’re the new Google Company that builds up a dark fiber network . :)

Update: What Gasoil Inc is … the solution.

Configuring the contextmenu as a dropdown "suckerfish" menu (not recommended usability-wise).
The menu can be easily configured as a horizontal or vertical dropdown menu.
The two mainmenus on this page are simple unordered lists.
Each of the links in a mainmenu is bound to a unique contextmenu which acts as the submenu.
The horizontal menu is configured with the following options (among others):
- openBelowContext: true, this causes the contextmenu to open at the lowerleft corner of the context.
- event: mouseover, this is the event used to open the menu, i.e. hovering over the mainmenu items.
- ignoreHeightOverflow: true, setting this to true causes height(y) overflow to be ignored. We don't want overflowing submenus overlapping our mainmenu.
- fadeIn: 0, using fadeIn times bigger than 0 can cause multiple submenus to appear when moving rapidly from mainmenu item to mainmenu item.
- autoHide: true, setting autoHide to true causes the whole menu to hide when the mouse pointer exits the menu. Notice that the menu doesn't automatically hide when moving the mouse from a mainmenu item to the area above/left from the mainmenu. This is because the mainmenu isn't actually part of the contextmenus.
The vertical menu is configured with the following options (among others):
- openBelowContext: true, same as the horizontal menu.
- event: mouseover, same as the horizontal menu.
- startLeftOffset: 170, setting openBelowContext to true causes the menu to open at the lowerleft corner of the context(mainmenu item). In this case we want the menu to open at the upperright corner of it's context, which means it needs a horizontal offset as wide as the mainmenu.
- startTopOffset: -28, same reason as startLeftOffset. We want the menu to open at the upperright corner of it's context, which means it needs a negative vertical offset as heigh as a mainmenu-item.
- fadeIn: 0, same as the horizontal menu.
- autoHide: true, same as the horizontal menu.

REACTIVE : Hepatitis B surface antibody generally appears after recovery from acute hepatitis B. However, Hepatitis B surface antibody can result from response to the HBV vaccine, from passive transfer after a blood transfusion (or globulin injection) or represent a non-specific reaction. Hepatitis B core antibody would help define positivity due to hepatitis B infection. Generally, the presence of Hepatitis B surface antibody indicates immunity to hepatitis B virus.

Langley 'chemical leak': 57 people suffer breathing difficulties near farm
Kent Fire and Rescue Service were called after dozens of people in Langley said they had trouble breathing and the area is now in 'complete lockdown'
by Tom Davidson, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/tom-davidson/Dozens of people have reported breathing difficulties after a suspected chemical leak at a commercial site near Maidstone this afternoon.
Five fire engines, hazardous material officers and a specialist chemical unit were all called after 57 people said they had trouble breathing.
Paramedics are at the scene in Langley.
The exact location of the suspected leak has not been disclosed by the emergency services but the road to Rumwood Green Farm has been shut down according to local media.
A Kent Police spokesman said: "Kent Police were contacted by South East Coast Ambulance Service at 2.49pm regarding reports of a suspected chemical leak at a commercial site near Sutton Road, Langley, Maidstone.
Have you been affected by this story? Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"Officers are at the scene along with the Kent Fire and Rescue Service and ambulance crews, and are offering assistance where needed."
Self-employed businessman Richard Hurley, 32, is at Maidstone Hospital and told Kent Online the scene looked like a "complete lockdown".
He told the website: "Nobody is being allowed into the hospital and big white hazard tents have been set up outside.
"There's a lot of activity, I'd describe it as a full-scale operation.
"I can see five police cars, a couple of vans and now there are quite a few ambulances queuing up."
An air ambulance was reportedly called to the scene alongside other emergency services.
A spokesperson for Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust said: “Our hospital sites are currently preparing for the arrival of a number of patients who are experiencing breathing difficulties following a suspected chemical incident in Maidstone.
”As a precautionary measure a hazardous materials tent has been erected outside the emergency department to help us manage those patients.
“While our Emergency Departments (EDs) are open as normal, we would encourage people to only use our EDs for emergency and life-threatening situations during this period to help us focus our resources on those who need it most.”
An ambulance spokesman said: "We are responding to an incident in Sutton Road, Langley near Maidstone, following a suspected chemical leak at a premises reported to us at approximately 2.20pm today.
"Ambulance crews, including our Hazardous Area Response Team and the air ambulance service, are at the scene.
"We have assessed and treated 57 people at the scene for breathing difficulties.
"A number have been discharged from our care.
"No patients are currently in a serious condition."


Yesterday was AzureCon 2015, and it was chalk full of goodness. I sat for all four of the Keynotes and live tweeted (or whatever it's called). I had a great time, but it was ball busting work.

This set of Analog Communications Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Single Side Band Transmission”.
1. What do you understand by the term SSB?
a) Suppressed Side Band
b) Single Side Band
c) Suppressed Single Band
d) Selected Single Band
View Answer
Explanation: SSB stands for Single Side band. In SSB-SC (Single Side Band Suppressed Carrier), the carrier is suppressed and only either of the two sidebands is transmitted. This reduces power consumption and also lessens the bandwidth.
2. SSB is a standard form for radio communication.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: SSB stands for Single Side band. In SSB-SC (Single Side Band Suppressed Carrier), the carrier is suppressed and only either of the two sidebands is transmitted. Single Side Band can also be seen as a standard form for radio communication. In Single Side Band, carrier wave is suppressed by about 50dB.
3. Ribbon microphone has a bidirectional feature.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: It is correct statement that a ribbon microphone has bidirectional feature. Other microphones such as carbon, condenser etc does not have a bidirectional feature.
4. Antenna can only be used as a transmitter.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: All antennas can be used as transmitter and receiver both. Antenna transmits or receives electromagnetic waves only. Transmitter antenna modulates the message signals and transmits the modulated waves and Receiver antenna receives the modulated wave and demodulates it.
5. TM is a pseudo analog modulation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: TM stands for Transpositional Modulation. In TM, the message signal is modulated by inserting inflections in the original waveform. The waveform is modified resulting in a modulated. TM is a pseudo analog modulation. In TM carrier also carries a phase variable.
6. What is the full form of PPM?
a) pulse-position modulation
b) position-pulse modulation
c) pulse-pulse modulation
d) position-position modulation
View Answer
Explanation: PPM is used for both analog and digital signals. In PPM, when a single pulse is transmitted in the allotted time shift, the message bits get encoded. It is mostly used for optical communication such as optic fiber.
7. CVSDM stands for continuously variable slope delta modulation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: CVSDM stands for continuously variable slope delta modulation. It can also be seen as delta modulation having variable step size. Delta modulation involves analog to digital conversion and vice-versa for the transmission of voice signals.
8. If the target is changing continuously, then the best scanning system for correct
tracking is _________
a) monopulse
b) conical
c) lobe switching
d) sequential
View Answer
Explanation: If the targeting area is changing continuously then it is better to use monopulse scanning system for accurate tracking as it avoids the problems in conical scanning systems, which often arise due to rapid change in signal strength.
9. In NBFM, the modulation index is close to __________
a) 1
b) greater than 1
c) 10
d) infinite
View Answer
Explanation: In NBFM, the modulation index is less than or close to unity. It is similar to Amplitude modulation except a 180 degree phase shift at the lower sideband.
10. NBFM stands for Narrow Band Frequency Modulation.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: It is a correct statement that NBFM stands for Narrow Band Frequency Modulation. In NBFM, the modulation index is less than or close to unity. It is similar to Amplitude modulation except a 180 degree phase shift at the lower sideband.

title: Without side padding
category: jumbotron
order: 1
description: If you don't want the side padding on a jumbotron, just add the jumbotron-fluid
class. You can then add an element with .container
or .container-fluid
inside the jumbotron to align the content to the grid.
This variation is handy if you want to apply a full-bleed background to the jumbotron itself. ---
Ok, well there is side padding, but not on the Jumbotron itself. The side padding here comes from the .container-fluid
inside the jumbotron.

I was sitting watching South Park when my brother comes downstairs and hands me a white pill & says,' Here, we're gonna have some fun tonight.' So, no questions asked, I washed it down with some milk, and afterwards he told me it was Vicodin and said it was going to be great, so I said ok, it was fine with me. He had said it would take about 15 minutes to kick in, but after 15 minutes I wasn't feeling anything. So since I wasn't feeling anything I decided to go outside & smoke a bowl of white widow with my brother.
 I was then starting to complain about the vicodin because I wasn't feeling anything, but he said to just wait, and that I’d start feeling it soon. So I waited, and it had been about 30 minutes since I’d taken it. We had just finished the bowl, and we were sitting down on a bench. So I packed everything back into my pockets & stood up. Then, WHAM! It hit me hard.
It was great, as we walked back to our house I started to realize things I would have never normally really thought about. I would figure out basic conflicts in my life, and it just really opened up my mind. Everything seemed more amazing. The wind would blow & it would feel so soft, I would hear a noise & then would think about how unique it was. We clattered up the stairs to our house and silently snuck in. I sat down & I felt like I was floating. I looked close at my hands, and they were shaking. I tried walking upstairs, but it was very difficult. I saw colorful images on the wall. Some were pink squares outlined with purple, then I saw dark blue diamonds outlined with black. So halfway up the stairs I gave up & slowly hobbled back down the stairs, and of course I had the munchies & chowed down on some cookies.
I sat because it was hard to stand up for long periods of time. I was trying to pay attention to the T.V., but other things kept coming across my mind. I’d stare at my hands & try to figure out their mysteries. Then I got the idea of washing my hands & I got so excited over it. I went to the bathroom & washed my hands & the rushing over my hands felt so great. My brother made fun of me for it, but he was enjoying the wind on the balcony.
The type of mind-high it gave me was crazy. I was happy & giggly (the normal effects of pot), but there was also this strange aura feeling surrounding me. Not like I was invinsible, but like I was magical or something. My mind did slow down slightly, though. Like my brother would say something to me, and for seconds later I would really think about what he said, and it would feel like I was living in that exact moment for about 10 - 20 seconds. It takes all of your worries away & it's like you think about nothing, but also everything. It was great.
The type of body-high I got was absolutely amazing! It truly felt like I was sitting on clouds floating. My eyes would sometimes shake, and I would feel a little bit tipsy. But the greatest part of it was the sudden pulses of some great feeling I would get. I would all of a sudden feel extremely good & relaxed.
After I’d been high for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours, I started to come down from it. It wasn't like other drugs, where I start to feel sick & nausiated. All I felt was really sleepy. So I walked up the stairs, but with greater ease seeing that I was coming off my high. I slept so good that night. So overall it was a fun experience, and would definitely do it again whenever, plus that was possibly the greatest sleep I had ever gotten.

As anyone who's observed their heart rate spiking on their Apple Watch (hey, you can rent one here) knows, blood plays a big part in our vitality.A lot of what we do to "keep young" is to do with blood: exercising to get it flowing, eating well to avoid clogged arteries, taking aspirin to keep the blood nice and thin.
So what if the key to a long life involved blood - but just not your own? Joe Sparrow finds out that in the search for youthfulness, researchers may have found a magic potion: young people's blood...
Modern-day billionaires don’t come much more interesting than Peter Thiel.
He co-founded one internet monolith (Paypal), spotted the early investment potential in another (Facebook - you may have heard if it), created a data company that nosey government agencies love (Palantir - even if you've not heard of it, they've probably heard of you), and, as a consequence, is filthy stinking rich.
Money brings you a lot in life, but if home-spun wisdom has taught us anything, it’s that “you can’t take it with you.” Peter Thiel, according to some tasty media stories, is eager to push that final destination as far away as possible.
And to make what he wants in life to happen, Peter Thiel is thirsty: thirsty for what he sees as justice (he paid to defend Hulk Hogan’s case in court against Gawker Media, which eventually was crushed to smithereens) but also thirsty for young people’s blood.
It's all resulted in some... intriguing headlines.
Peter Thiel Is Interested in Harvesting the Blood of the Young
Or he’s not, according to which outlet you read:
Hey, hang about a minute...
Peter Thiel Is Very, Very Interested in Young People's Blood
Hmm. I guess the story you believe depends upon whether, in your opinion, a Trump-supporting Libertarian billionaire would consider harvesting youthful human blood a prudent investment.
Either way, whether he really does, as Gawker reported, “spend $40,000 per quarter to get an infusion of blood from an 18-year-old based on research conducted at Stanford on extending the lives of mice,” or not, Thiel is, as usual, onto something.
If you’re being mocked by the hit TV show Silicon Valley, you may or may not be crazy, but at the very least you are definitely on the bleeding edge.
Either way, in the centre of the Venn diagram between cutting edge technology, billionaires' eagerness to tweak their bodies, and the sticky red stuff, something bloody interesting is definitely going on.
So what will the future hold for BloodTech? And what does it mean for us non-billionaire normies?
First Blood, Part II
So why the focus on blood? Surely the possibilities offered by re-growing and replacing human organs or simply living forever offers greater impact - after all, we’ll all need a new liver or heart or kidney at some point.
But it turns out that blood is sloshing with a huge number of enzymes and molecules that do miraculous things - the consequences of which we are only just getting to grips with.
Blood isn’t just endlessly replaced red gloop - it gets old too. And as it gets old it gets less useful. And when blood stops being useful, you stop being alive. And that’s, you know, a problem.
“Young Blood” may sound like the name of an identikit SoundCloud rapper (actually, Young Blood really is a hip-hop artist on SoundCloud, and is worth a listen) but the idea of squeezing in a quart of someone else's plasma is worthy of your attention.
On a very basic but important level, young blood = young body parts. Scientists thought that as bones get older, they get worse at healing themselves - but it turned out that the bones could heal just fine: it was the blood that wasn’t doing its job.
And while the likes of Peter Thiel may (LAWYER'S NOTE: or may not) be getting transfusions from their Blood Boy, the most interesting part of this research – for the rest of us – is that the difference between old and new blood is just a molecule or two.
Find a way to reintroduce that molecule into the bloodstream and bones can heal themselves again, and we’ll all be youthful forever.
Young, at heart
None of this should be too shocking: the rejuvenating effect of young blood in old bodies was spotted in some lucky mice who were made young again in the 1950s.
But now there’s a dawning realisation that young blood’s eagerness to return organs to a similar state of youthfulness extends a bit further than giving aching muscles and bones a bit of pep: it might have beneficial effects on the brain.
This has enormous implications for people with brain-based conditions like Alzheimers and Parkinson's disease - two conditions that are notoriously difficult to treat.
Because if the secret sauce hidden in our most precious ketchup can bring withering brain cells back to vitality, millions of lives will be changed - and human trials are underway to see if young blood has an impact on muscle motor function.
And just think: if a regular blood infusion could keep the body, the organs and the mind youthful, the more ambitious some post-human tech aims, like the computer-AI-brain interface proposed by Neuralink start to sound.
Neuralink is a pet project of yet another billionaire live-forever enthusiast – Elon Musk, the real life Tony Stark and old buddy of Peter Thiel (spotting a theme yet?) – and the combination of constant bodily rejuvenation coupled with augmented intelligence could be to tempting to let slip.
Not only will we live longer, but we’ll live smarter. It’s the startup dream, made flesh.
Thicker than water
For now, mysterious companies like Ambrosia are pushing ahead with pumping the good stuff into humans. Ambrosia is, according to Quartz, claiming some remarkable breakthroughs: *“a month after receiving a transfusion of young plasma… participants had fewer chemical biomarkers indicative of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and certain types of cancers.”*
It sounds too good to be true (and indeed, has been called “fake news” by one Stanford immunologist) but right now, to a billionaire nearly the wrong side of 50, it is surely worth a punt.
So what does it all mean for the rest of us? Those other humans, who also have five litres of blood and an eagerness not to die yet, but very little in the bank? Essentially: sit tight and wait, bloodsuckers.
Much like how advanced tech is finding ways to turn the body's existing defences against cancer, our modern technology is discovering that the secret to a healthier future is right under our bleeding noses. And where there's an eagerness to keep living, there's cash, so any useful developments here will happen quickly - hopefully in our puny lifetimes.
In the meantime, as MONTAG’s Kathryn Lawrence found out, there is reasonable cash to be made from selling blood, and in these troubling economic times, maybe it’s as certain a business as a young person could hope for.


execline
Software
skarnet.org
The if program
if performs conditional execution.
Interface
In an execlineb script:
if [ -X ] [ -n ] [ -t | -x exitcode ] { prog1... } prog2...
- if reads prog1... in a
block. It forks and executes it,
then waits for it to complete.
- If prog1 crashes, if prints an error message
then exits 128 plus the number of the signal that killed prog1.
- If prog1 exits a non-zero status,
if exits 1.
- Else if execs into prog2.
Options
- -X : treat a crash of prog1 as a non-zero ("false") exit.
- -n : negate the test (exit on true, exec into prog2 on false)
- -x exitcode : exit exitcode instead of 1 if the test fails.
- -t : exit 0 instead of 1 if the test fails.
This is equivalent to -x 0.

Cocaine |
(powder / crystals) |
To start, I'm a healthy, responsible 25 year old male. I've never had a habitual drug problem. I've only used drugs recreationally and responsibly. To go through my background with psychoactives, I'm experienced with alcohol, marijuana and a handful of psychedelics (Mushrooms, Morning Glories, LSD, HBWR)
So, I tried cocaine for the first time last night with a very good friend of mine. He's one of my best friends and pretty experienced with the drug, so I felt very comfortable doing it with him.
Anyway, to start I did a round of about 3 thin lines. After a few minutes I felt very awake, refreshed and buzzed. The first thing I noticed was the stimulating effects: Increased sociability and an alert and clear mind. Immediately I told my friend how I would describe coke as a 'sober high', meaning I felt high but not intoxicated or inebriatedůMy mind was clear and not foggy (I'm used to more of a 'downer' type high, so stimulants were totally new to me). The coke felt like a high dose of caffeine, without the unpleasant side effects and with more of a body buzz and euphoria.
After my third round or so of about 3-4 small lines, I got a really good jacked buzz going. By this time I finally mastered my snorting technique. I got my first good drip of the night. (most people hate the drip, but I actually really liked it) After the drip went down I got a nice rush throughout my body. I remember saying to my friend that my body felt like a balloon. I felt a very pleasant light and floaty body buzz overcome my entire body accompanied by a mild euphoria.
At one point we smoked a little high quality marijuana (2 joint hits each) and this mixed nicely with the coke. It took the edge off the coke and both the effects of the drugs felt good and worked well together. Marijuana and coke are a nice combination.
Throughout the span of 8-10 hours or so that I did the cocaine, I never felt any sort of need to do more. I felt no 'crash' or unpleasant effects from coming down. I felt no addictive qualities of the drug.
All in all my first cocaine experience was enjoyable. It wasn't nearly as intense as I was expecting, but was enjoyable.

array1 = [a,b,c]
array2 = [1,2,3]
array1.zip(array2)
=> [["a", 1], ["b", 2], ["c", 3]]
In this example , the elements of "array1" have been zipped with those of "array2". It returns an array consisting of subarrays with elements of matching index numbers. The .zip method can be expanded to accept multiple arrays such as in the next example:
array1= ['a','b','c','d']
array2= [1,2,3,4]
array3= ['@','#','$','%,'!']
array1.zip(array2,array3)
=> [["a", 1, "@"], ["b", 2, "#"], ["c", 3, "$"], ["d", 4, "%"]]
As can be seen in this last example, so long as the base array contains enough elements, the resulting array of sub arrays will consists of elements with the same index number.
One of the more common uses for the .zip method is for converting arrays into hashes. The .zip method can take two arrays and have their matching elements stored into one single array that can easily be turned into a hash.
array1= [ 'key1', 'key2', 'key3']
array2= [ 'val1', 'val2', 'val3']
array_unhashed = array1.zip(array2)
=> [["key1", "val1"], ["key2", "val2"], ["key3", "val3"]]
hashed_array = Hash[array_unhashed.each{|key,value| [key => value] }]
=>{"key3"=>"val3", "key1"=>"val1", "key2"=>"val2"}
The array_unhased was simply iterated through so that it could be output in hash form. You'll notice that the ["key","val"] array pairs in the primary array are identical to the "key"=> "val" pairs within the hash. This is done all thanks to the .zip method.

Hey everyone, today we will be learning about the difference between Ruby and Ruby on Rails.
As we all know by now, Ruby is a scripting language. That means it supports scripts (programs that can automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator). Rails is a software library that extends the Ruby programming language. More over it’s a Web app framework that is built using Ruby.
So lets break this down a bit. Here is a synopsis of the plethora of explanations I found to better explain the difference between the two.
Ruby and Rails are a close knight pair. Since Rails is a web app framework, anything that you write in a Rails application is simply Ruby code. When you run a rails application, you are just interpreting the Ruby code using the Ruby interpreter. Ruby on Rails makes it easy to use the language Ruby to write code that makes a dynamic database driven website work. The two not only work together, but Ruby on Rails DEPENDS on Ruby!
As one person put it: "Ruby is to Rails is to a Rails application as English is to the novel (as a literary 'framework') is to The Great Gatsby."
Alrighty now that we understand the difference, lets learn about this Ruby on Rails. What does it do?
Rails is software code that is added to the Ruby programming language. Technically, it is a package library (specifically, a RubyGem), that is installed using the operating system command-line interface.
Rails combines the Ruby programming language with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a web application that runs on a web server. It is interesting to note that because it runs on a web server, Rails is considered a server-side, or “back end,” web application development platform (the web browser is the “front end”).
Get it? Good! Just remember you can’t have Rails without Ruby!
I will leave you with what has to be the best description of the difference between the two: Ruby is a stripper; Rails is the pole; When they get together, developers get really happy!

-
- io.pravega.client.byteStream.ByteStreamWriter
-
- All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Closeable
,java.io.Flushable
,java.lang.AutoCloseable
public abstract class ByteStreamWriter extends java.io.OutputStream
Allows for writing raw bytes directly to a segment. This is intended as low level building block for creating higher level components. As such it can break things. This class does not frame, attach headers, or otherwise modify the bytes written to it in any way. So unlikeEventStreamWriter
orRevisionedStreamClient
the data written cannot be split apart when read. As such, any bytes written by this API can ONLY be read usingByteStreamReader
. Similarly, unless some sort of framing is added it is probably an error to have multiple ByteStreamWriters write to the same segment as this will result in interleaved data. The methods on this class are non-blocking unless otherwise specified. As such data passed to aOutputStream.write(byte[])
call cannot be assumed to be persisted until a flush has been called. It is safe to invoke methods on this class from multiple threads but doing so will not result in an increase in performance.

write
public abstract void write(java.nio.ByteBuffer src) throws java.io.IOException
Similar towrite(byte[], int, int)
Writes the provided data to the segment. The data is buffered internally to avoid blocking. As such it cannot be assumed to be durably stored until a flush completes. It is intended that this method not block, but it may in the event that the server becomes disconnected for sufficiently long or is sufficiently slow that that backlog of data to be written becomes a memory issue.- Parameters:

- The bytes to write.- Throws:
java.io.IOException
- If for any reason an error occurs writing the data, including if the stream is sealed.

Tax increment financing is a city-run program designed to promote economic development in blighted areas by diverting property tax dollars into special funds. These funds are controlled by the city and are used for redevelopment and job growth.
In a TIF district, residentís property taxes are frozen at a certain level. When property values rise, the excess tax dollars go into the TIF districtís fund used to pay for authorized projects in the defined area.
Users can search by address, project description, year and amount of TIF funding allocated to a particular project. Users can also add layers to see projects in relation to wards and TIF districts. Each point on the map contains a project description and additional information.
The raw data for all TIF projects, TIF districts and wards can be viewed and exported in Google FusionTables.
Much of this information was provided by the city in documents acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request filed by ChicagoTalks reporters in Fall 2010. Other information was gathered from redevelopment agreements found on the cityís website. The original list of projects was provided by the Chicago Department of Community Development.
Information provided by the city was last updated on July 30th, 2010.
For more information about TIF, you can visit the following sites:


ONC Meaningful Use
HITSP C32/C83 Examples
January 25, 2011
This folder contains a collection of examples relevant to the current ONC Meaningful Use requirements. The ONC requirements point to the HITSP C32 v2.5 specification, which in turn points to various other HITSP, IHE and HL7 specifications for clinical documents. A complete listing of specification dependencies can be found at http://healthcare.nist.gov/use_testing/faq.html .
This folder also contains an XML transform, WebViewLayout_CDA, that when invoked produces a human readable html view of the data. The transform only presents data that appears in the <text> element of each <section>; it does not reach down into the <entry> elements for specific coded information. In particular, it does not check for consistency of information in <section>/<text> with coded data in the <entry>s. There may be some unintended <section>/<text> versus <entry> inconsistencies in these examples.
MU_Rev0_HITSP_BaseC32v2.5_RequiredTemplateIds_FourErrors
This example clinical document contains the four templateIds in the document header that are required by HITSP/C32 and its referenced specifications. Note that the HL7 CCD templateId is not required in the document header; instead, the other templateIds require that CCD templateIds be used in certain section and entry elements of the document. Also note that a HITSP C32 valid document is not required to contain any sections, so a valid document can be almost completely vacuous. This example document validates to the HITSP C32 v2.0 validator at: http://xreg2.nist.gov/cda-validation/validation.html . However, when validated against the NIST Meaningful Use validator at the same web site, http://xreg2.nist.gov/cda-validation/mu.html , returns exactly four errors. This is because ONC Meaningful Use requires that every valid document minimally contain at least Allergies, Problems, Medications and Results sections. This 4-section requirement raises an issue not faced by a general C32 document, i.e how to code a valid section for which there is no known information. The next example shows one way this can be achieved.
MU_Rev1_HITSP_C32C83_4Sections_NoInformationEntries_NoErrors
This example clinical document adds the four ONC Meaningful Use required sections to the previous example, i.e. it has explicit Allergies, Problems, Medications and Results sections. It addresses the problem of how to satisfy all of the requirements of a required C32 section in the absence of known medical information for that topic. Where appropriate it relies on SNOMED identifiers for “no known allergies”, “no current problems or disabilities”, or “drug treatment unknown”. For laboratory or diagnostic results we could not find an appropriate SNOMED or LOINC code that explicitly states “no known results”; instead we chose a LOINC code for “care area assessment (CAA) results” in an <observation> element with the <value> element of that observation containing the original text “no known results”. There may be other more appropriate LOINC or SNOMED codes to record an absence of information on a specific topic, and there may be other more appropriate XML structures to use for presentation, but this example does not violate any HITSP, IHE or HL7 requirements for these four sections.
MU_Rev2_HITSP_C32C83_4Sections_MeaningfulEntryContent_NoErrors
This example deletes the four “no known information” sections from the previous example and replaces them with sections that have meaningful clinical content. The information included in the <entry> elements of each <section> is minimal in that some information that is recommended but not required by the referenced specifications is not included. Sometimes information presented in <section>/<text> will not be captured in any subordinate <entry>.
MU_Rev3_HITSP_C32C83_4Sections_RobustEntries_NoErrors
This example adds to the above “Rev2” document additional information that is sometimes recommended by HITAP and/or IHE specifications for the four required sections. In situations where HITSP and IHE recommend different potential vocabularies, a code from one vocabulary is given with a <translation> to a code from a different vocabulary.

This content has been replaced by the ‘Education services grant 2014 to 2015’ .
Documents outlining how the education services grant (ESG) is calculated for academies.
The education services grant ( ESG ) is allocated to local authorities and academies on a simple per-pupil basis according to the number of pupils for whom they are responsible. This removes the link between the amount spent on education services by individual local authorities and the funding allocations for academies.
The funding for the ESG comes from a transfer from local government. The government took the decision to reduce the level of the transfer in order to protect local authorities who are now spending less on education services on a national basis.
The ESG calculator on this page can be used by schools converting to academy status from 1 September 2013. It provides an estimate of the ESG funding that an academy will receive in the 2013 to 2014 academic year.
Provisional local authority ESG allocations for the 2013 to 2014 financial year can also be found in the attached spreadsheet on this page.
The technical note gives further background information about how the grant is calculated and the data it’s based on.

A thickener via detuning. This module works by taking highest frequency half of the partials and reassigning them the same frequencies as the lowest half. It then detunes the reassigned partials by some degree and sets the amplitudes to some fraction of the lower ones.

Predicates
Predicates
Whenever you link components in a dataflow, you can add a filter expression to the link - this is called a predicate for the link. The filter expression is evaluated for every row that goes through the link. If the evaluated expression is true, data will pass into the linked component. If evaluated to false, the dataflow will try the next link to send its data through.
Note: Data will be send only into one of the connected links. If there is more than one link, the first link that either has no predicate or which predicate returns true is used.
If you need data send into two ore more connected components, you can use the Multicast:
source.LinkTo(multicast);
multicast.LinkTo(dest1, row => row.Value2 <= 2);
multicast.LinkTo(dest2, row => row.Value2 > 2);
source.Execute();
dest1.Wait();
dest2.Wait();
VoidDestination
Whenever you use predicates, sometime you end up with data which you don't want to write into a destination.
Unfortunately, your DataFlow won't finish until all rows where written into any destination block. That's why
there is a VoidDestination
in ETLBox. Use this destination for all records for that you don't wish any futher processing.
VoidDestination voidDest = new VoidDestination();
source.LinkTo(dest, row => row.Value > 0);
souce.Link(voidDest, row => row.Value <= 0);
Implicit use of VoidDestination
You don't have to define the VoidDestinatin
explicitly. Assuming that we have a Database Source
that we want to link to a database destination. But we only want to let data pass throught where the
a column is greater than 0. The rest we want to ignore. Normally, we would need to link the data twice like in
the example above. But there is a short way to write it:
source.LinkTo(dest, row => row.Value > 0, row => row.Value <= 0);
Internally, this will create a VoidDestination
when linking the components, but you don't have to deal with anymore.
At the end, only records where the Value column is greate 0 will be written into the destination.

The Korean keyboard has two keys, the Korean/Chinese and the Korean/English toggles, that generate scancodes f1 and f2 (respectively) when pressed, and nothing when released. They do not repeat. The keycaps are "hancha" and "han/yong" (written in Hangul). Hancha (hanja) means Chinese character, and Han/Yong is short for Hangul/Yongcha (Korean/English). They are located left and right of the space bar.
Dave Willis reports on his A4tech keyboard:
Apart from the Korean Hancha and Han/Yong keys, there are on the top row:
e0 5f (Moon), e0 6c (Mail), e0 6b (Computer), e0 21 (Calculator), e0 6d (Notes), e0 10 (Previous), e0 19 (Next), e0 2e (Minus), e0 20 (Mute), e0 30 (Plus), e0 22 (Play/Pause), e0 24 (Stop), e0 65 (Magnifier), e0 32 (Home), e0 66 (Folder), e0 67 (recycle-style arrows), e0 68 (x).
Below mute: e0 62 (Office).
On the right hand side: e0 6a (arrow up left), e0 69 (arrow down right), e0 0b (wheel up), e0 2c (wheel down), e0 64 (wheel in).
Wheel up and wheel down have no release code, only the plus and minus keys will repeat themselves when held down.

Function WLIMIN: sequential recovery using weighted L1 minimization
WL1MIN recovers missing traces using weighted L1 minimization and utilizing the correlation between the support sets of the transform coefficients across partitions.
b - subsampled data volume mask - logical data volume indicating the locations of the missing data entries options: partOrder - specifies the proper permutation of the data volume so that partitioning is always performed along the first dimension st - index of the first partition fin - index of the last partition C - sparsifying transform maxiter - maximum number of spgl1 iterations omega - sets the weight used in weighted L1 minimization
function [Dest] = wL1min(b, mask, options)
% load the options and set defaults partOrder = getOption(options, 'partorder', [1 2 3]); % define the partition ordering st = getOption(options, 'st', 1); % index of first partition fin = getOption(options, 'fin', size(b,1)); % index of last partition C = getOption(options, 'transform', 1); % sparsifying transform maxiter = getOption(options, 'maxiter', 500); % maximum number of spql1 iterations omega = getOption(options, 'omega', 0.3); % initialize the weights
Permute the measurements
Permute the measurements so that partitioning is applied only across the first dimension
b = permute(b,partOrder); mask = permute(mask,partOrder); dim = size(b); x_prev=[]; opts.verbosity=1; opts.optTol = 1e-4; opts.bpTol = 1e-4; opts.iterations=maxiter; opts.weights = []; x_prev=[]; if fin > st incr = 1; else incr = -1; end
Loop over all partitions
for i=st:incr:fin if isempty(x_prev) % in the first iteration, recover using standard L1 minimization n = size(C,2); N = size(C,1); y = vec(b(i,:)); % build mask operator RM = opMask(dim(2)*dim(3),find(vec(mask(i,:)) > 0)); % measurement matrix A = RM*C'; sigma = 1e-4; W = ones(N,1); [x_l1] = spgl1(A, y, 0, sigma, zeros(N,1), opts); Dest(i,:,:) = reshape(C'*x_l1, dim(2), dim(3)); x_prev = C*C'*x_l1; else
% in subsequent iterations, recover using weighted L1 minimization n = size(C,2); N = size(C,1); y = vec(b(i,:)); % build mask operator RM = opMask(dim(2)*dim(3),find(vec(mask(i,:)) > 0)); % identify the support of the largest entries from the previous % partition as the support estimate [Cx Idx] = sort(abs(x_prev), 'descend'); ratCx = sqrt(cumsum(Cx.^2))/norm(Cx); k = find(ratCx(1:end) >= 0.9); T = Idx(1:k(1)); Tc = setdiff([1:N]',T);
Build the weight vector
use small weights on the support estimate and a weight equal to one outside of the support estimate
W = ones(N,1); W(T) = omega; % measurement matrix A = RM*C'; sigma = 1e-4; % run weighted L1 minimization opts.weights = W; [x_wl1] = spgl1(A, y, 0, sigma, zeros(N,1), opts); Dest(i,:,:) = reshape(C'*x_wl1, dim(2), dim(3)); x_prev = C*C'*x_wl1;

‘We are working on agreement now with the Taliban’: Trump
by Khaama PressThe U.S. President Donald Trump has said his administration is working on agreement with the Taliban following the release of Western professors, it has been reported.
President Trump made the remarks in Fox News’ “Fox & Friends”, according to CNN television channel.
“We’re working on an agreement now with the Taliban. Let’s see what happens” Trump said.
The Taliban group released the two kidnapped professors of the American University of Afghanistan in a prisoner swap which also resulted in release of three key Haqqani Network leaders.
President Trump had earlier expressed that the release of the two professors would lead to ceasefire in Afghanistan.
The Taliban group had also expressed hopes that the prisoner swap would aid peace process.
This comes as President called off peace talks with Taliban in the month of September following a series of deadly attacks which killed several people in Kabul including an American service member.

Since JBehave 2.0 was released in September, I've been using it on my current project to verify the acceptance criteria for the features we are implementing, ensuring that the web interface is following the right workflow, and is displaying the data as expected, as well as some other important elements.
What is JBehave?
JBehave is a framework for Behaviour-Driven Development, that allows customers and developers to work together more closely on features for the system. They get together to discuss and define a set of executable criteria (scenarios) for each of the features that will be used to determine if they are fully implemented or not. The cool thing is that the scenario execution produces an easy-to-read output, so that customers can keep track of the implementation status.
An Example
In this example, I'm not covering all the bits and pieces about writing and running acceptance tests with JBehave. If you want to see it in details, there's a very good introduction article here. The intention is to show how we are doing it on my project, integrating with Selenium and using the Page Objects pattern.
New Feature
Suppose the customer wanted to provide exclusive content for the user of the website. For that, we would have to implement an authentication framework, so that we could guarantee that only registered users would access that content. So the story looks like this:
As an user
I want to login into the website
So that I can view the exclusive contents
Defining Scenarios
Scenario: Invalid Username
Given the user is on the login page
When the user types username wrong!
And the user types password 123456
And clicks the login button
Then the page should display Invalid Authentication message
Scenario: Successful Login
Given the user is on the login page
When the user types username alexandre
And the user types password 123456
And clicks the login button
Then the user should be redirected to home page
And the page should display welcome message to alexandre
Each scenario needs its own implementation, providing the necessary steps to be verified, in our case the LoginSteps class. Another improvement on version 2.0 is that it allows you to define multiple scenarios in a single file.
public class LoginScenarios extends Scenario {
public LoginScenarios() {
super(new LoginSteps());
}
}
Defining Steps (Integrating Selenium)
After defining the scenarios on the text file, it's time to map each scenario step to its implementation. Once you start mapping them you will come across ones that are already mapped, and will realise that defining new scenarios is just a matter of combining existing steps.
Initially, for each step, we were extracting the code sniped from Selenium IDE record and placing into it. But it felt a bit clumsy, with code duplication in some spots. It quickly reminded me how hard it is to maintain a suite of tests when it starts evolve and there is not enough effort on refactoring. We wanted to avoid duplication and come up with a more elegant and reusable solution.
One day my friend Uday Rayala came up with the idea of using the Page Objects pattern for writing our acceptance tests, so that we could encapsulate the logic to interact and verify page state into these objects. The first time I heard about it was from Simon Stewart, when he was in Sydney for the JAOO conference. He said that they implemented WebDriver based on this pattern, and showed me some examples. Here is a definition, extracted from the WebDriver wikipage:
Within your web app's UI there are areas that your tests interact with. A Page Object simply models these as objects within the test code. This reduces the amount of duplicated code and means that if the UI changes, the fix need only be applied in one place.
public class LoginSteps extends Steps {
@Given("the user is on the login page")
public void theUserIsOnTheLoginPage() {
LoginPage loginPage = new LoginPage();
loginPage.verifyPresenceOfUsernameAndPasswordFields();
loginPage.verifyPresenceOfLoginButton();
}
@When("the user types username $username")
public void theUserTypesUsername(String username) {
loginPage().typeUsername(username);
}
@When("the user types password $password")
public void theUserTypesPassword(String password) {
loginPage().typePassword(password);
}
@When("clicks the login button")
public void clicksTheLoginButton() {
loginPage().login();
}
@Then("the page should display $errorMessage message")
public void thePageShouldDisplayErrorMessage(String errorMessage) {
loginPage().verifyPresenceOfErrorMessage(errorMessage);
}
@Then("the user should be redirected to home page")
public void theUserShouldBeRedirectedToHomePage() {
HomePage homePage = new HomePage();
homePage.verifyPage();
}
@Then("the page should display welcome message to $user")
public void thePageShouldDisplayWelcomeMessage(String user) {
homePage().verifyPresenceOfWelcomeMessageTo(user);
}
private LoginPage loginPage() {
return (LoginPage) Page.current();
}
private HomePage homePage() {
return (HomePage) Page.current();
}

General election 2019: What is an opinion poll?
by Ian WestbrookIn the run-up to the general election, the results of opinion polls will be given a lot of prominence. But how do the polls work and how valuable are they?
What is an opinion poll?
Opinion polls provide a snapshot of people's views on a particular issue. They are widely used when elections are approaching.
People can be asked which party they would vote for, which issues most concern them, or for their views on party leaders.
Opinion polls can be useful to see how different parties are doing, but they may not reflect the make-up of the next Parliament.
The UK's first-past-the-post voting system means that the local candidate in each constituency who receives the most votes becomes an MP. And the party with the most winning candidates nationally normally forms a government.
So, a party that is predicted to have 10% more of the vote than its main rival, for example, will not always end up with 10% more MPs.
How accurate are the results?
They are not perfect, but the average of errors on polls going back more than 70 years is only a couple of points, says Will Jennings of the University of Southampton.
Over the last few elections, 90% of polls conducted just before the election have been within four percentage points of the vote share for the major parties.
What happened in recent elections?
Poll results were criticised after both the 2015 and 2017 general elections.
A review by the British Polling Council said that polls before the 2015 vote were among the most inaccurate since surveying began. They failed to predict the Conservative Party's majority win and over-represented Labour voters.
The review suggested the main reason was unrepresentative sampling.
Two years later, the opinion polls all suggested a clear Conservative lead over Labour in the run-up to the election. While the Tories did win, it was without the predicted majority.
The polls were right about theirs and the Lib Dems' vote share, but they were wrong about Labour's. It was also thought that an assumption of a low turnout from younger voters was wrong.
Party support: 6 November 2019
Party Average (%) Likely range

SNP 4 --*
GRN 4 (0-8)
PC 1 --*
UKIP 1 (0-5)
TIGfC 0 (0-4)
Trend line showing average voting intention, based on individual polls
* Because the SNP and Plaid Cymru only campaign in Scotland and Wales respectively, the margin of error for their support across Great Britain is likely to be less than +/- 1%. The date at the top of the chart shows the last day of fieldwork for included polls.
Who takes part in opinion polls?
The number of people questioned varies from poll to poll.
Most political polls ask between 1,000 and 2,000 people. However, to be involved you usually need to have signed up to be on a survey panel, unless the poll is conducted by phone or in person.
People do not join these panels specifically to give their views on politics. Many will only ever be questioned on issues like their views on the best pizza delivery firm or where they go on holiday.
But the panels are also generally where the opinion poll companies collect their views at election time.
The panels can be very big - some containing up to one million participants. However, the actual number of people actively taking part on a regular basis may be only about 25% of such a total.
People are given various incentives, such as shopping vouchers or a small financial reward, for doing the surveys.
What makes a poll representative of the country?
Many people will never be asked questions by pollsters, but this does not mean that polls are not accurate.
The two main methods of ensuring that polls represent the voice of the nation are random sampling and quota sampling.
The random way involves pulling out people's contact details from a list and contacting them.
Quota sampling means having certain numbers of people of certain ages, genders and locations taking part in a survey.
The results can be released very quickly. A poll can be finished in the afternoon and the results published later that evening.

In this first issue we will focus on the best water penis pump on the market. Why the best you might ask? Well, simply it doesn’t only help you to grow the size of your best friend - does it? - but it’s so much more. Its versatility allows it to be used in so many different ways in your daily life. Just keep reading to discover a few of those.
On top of that, we will be talking about food and we will have our experts replying to your questions.
It all seems kind of fun right? Of course it is, and for the most part is also real.   So many forums with so-called experts. From the most useless tools (maybe all of them?) to surgery, everything seems to be very expensive and the results, of course, are never guaranteed. How can they be? It’s a whole industry working on the insecurities of men. However, while women tried to tackle this with a wave of feminist porn, body positivism, etc. men don’t seem very concerned about that. They probably still love to see huge penises in action, while secretly dreaming of having one. Maybe it’s time for a change in mentality?
 Of course, ironically.

D&D Encounter ToolWelcome to the D&D encounter builder! My dad and I created this when we realized that there were no encounter builders anywhere. We hope this webpage (Something ducks walk on) inspires multitudes of Dungeoneers and masters alike! Live long and prosper, have fun, and only use chrome because safari doesn't work. Cheers luv, Owenbnerd. How to Use This BuilderTo use this builder, you click Add Monster and you will see a form where you can enter a quantity and type of monster. As you type the name of the monster, it will search the various bestiaries - be sure to pick from the list that is presented, or it won't work. Add as many monsters as you want for the encounter, and then click Print - remember, this only really works well in Chrome. You'll get a new tab or window that looks like the picture on the right. This is intended to be printed out and used to track status during the encounter. Hopefully this will help you keep the pace up in your games. Enjoy! All form fields are required. | |

Overview Before React.PureComponent was introduced, shallowCompare was commonly used to achieve the same functionality as
PureRenderMixin while using ES6 classes with React. If your React component’s render function is “pure” (in other words,
it renders the same result given the same props and state), you can use this helper function for a performance boost
in some cases.
shallowCompare returns true if the shallow comparison for props or state fails and therefore the component should update.
shallowCompare returns false if the shallow comparison for props and state both pass and therefore the component does
not need to update. Edit this page
