It occurred to me that my blog is becoming more sanctimonious than I'd like. I have many posts about stuff that's bad for you: stress, high fructose corn syrup, snow, playing soccer, cats, pesticides, religion, climate change, even licorice. So I thought to balance it a bit with stuff that is good for you. To wit, computer games; albeit not all, of course.
An avid gamer myself, those who know me would hardly be surprised that I found a paper cheering StarCraft. A bit of an old game, but still a solid representative of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre.
About a decade ago, a series of papers emerged which showed that first-person shooters and action games in general improve various aspects of perceptual processing. It makes sense because in these games split second decisions and actions make the difference between win or lose, so the games act as training experience for increased sensitivity to cues that facilitate said decisions. But what about games where the overall strategy and micromanagement skills are a bit more important than the perceptual skills, a.k.a. RTS? Would these games improve the processes underlying strategical thinking in a changing environment?
Glass, Maddox, & Love (2013) sought to answer this question by asking a few dozen undergraduates with little gaming experience to play a slightly modified StarCraft game for 40 hours (1 hour per day). "StarCraft (published by Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. in 1998) (…) involves the creation, organization, and command of an army against an enemy army in a real-time map-based setting (…) while managing funds, resources, and information regarding the opponent " (p. 2). The participants were all female because they couldn't find enough male undergraduates that played computer games less than 2 hours per day. The control group had to play The Sims 2 for the same amount of time, a game where "participants controlled and developed a single ''family household'' in a virtual neighborhood" (p.3.). The researchers cleverly modified the StarCraft game in such a way that they replaced a perceptual component with a memory component (disabled some maps) and created two versions: one more complex (full-map, two friendly, two enemy bases) and one less so (half-map, one friendly, one enemy bases). The difficulty for all games was set at a win rate of 50%.
Before and after the game-playing, the subjects were asked to complete a huge battery of tests destined to test their memory and various other cognitive processes. By carefully parsing these out, the authors conclude that "forty hours of training within an RTS game that stresses rapid and simultaneous maintenance, assessment, and coordination between multiple information and action sources was sufficient" to improve cognitive flexibility. Moreover, authors point out that playing on a full-map with multiple allies and enemies is conducive to such improvement, whereas playing a less cognitive resources demanding game, despite similar difficulty levels, was not. Basically, the more stuff you have to juggle, the better your flexibility will be. Makes sense.
My favorite take from this paper though is not only that StarCraft is awesome, obviously, but that "cognitive flexibility is a trainable skill" (p. 5). Let me tell you why that is so grand.
Cognitive flexibility is an important concept in the neuroscience of executive functioning. The same year that this paper was published, Diamond was publishing an excellent review paper in which she neatly identified three core executive functions: inhibition/control (both behavioral and cognitive), working memory (the ability to temporarily hold information active), and cognitive flexibility (the ability to think about and switch between two different concepts simultaneously). From these three core executive functions, higher-order executive functions are built, such as reasoning (critical thinking), problem solving (decision-making) and planning.
Unlike some old views on the immutability of the inborn IQ, each one of the core and higher-order executive functions can be improved upon with training at any point in life and can suffer if something is not right in your life (stress, loneliness, sleep-deprived or sick). This paper adds to the growing body of evidence showing that executive functions can be trainable. Intelligence, however you want to define it, relies upon executive functions, at least some of them, and perhaps boosting cognitive flexibility might result in a slight increase in the IQ, methinks.
Bottom line: real-time strategy games with huge maps and tons of stuff to do are good for you. Here you go.

OSCE Resolution: The case against Estonia
Russia » Politics
Friday July 3 2009, the Parliamentary Assembly of OSCE passed a resolution comparing Stalinism with Nazism. For Russia the distortion of history for political ends is unacceptable. This profound insult to the country that lost over 26 million souls, as it stemmed the Nazi tide, responsible for 90 per cent of Wehrmacht casualties, cannot go unanswered.
It was Vilija Aleknaite-Abramikiene, of Lithuania, who wrote the proposal Reunification of Divided Europe, asking for a condemnation of Nazism and Stalinism, as though they were one and the same thing. And it was Slovenia that supported the motion, accepted overwhelmingly by most of the Assembly. Let us then analyse, one by one, the history of the human rights records of the OSCE member states which insulted Russia.
Estonia had more concentration and extermination camps than Latvia and Lithuania: Auvere, Aseri, Dorpat, Ereda, Goldfields, Idu-Virumaa, Illinurme, Jagala, Johvi, Kalevi-Liiva, Kivioli, Klooga, Kukruse, Kunda, Kuremae, Lagedi, Narva, Narva-Joesuu, Petschur, Putki, Saka, Stara Gradiska, Sonda, Soski, Tartu, Vaivara, Viivikonna and Wesenburg. A violent anti-Romany policy was also carried out in this country, virtually annihilating all the country's gypsy population.
As in Latvia, the extermination policy counted on the willing participation of national citizens, the Estonian SS Division and the 287th Estonian Police Battalion bearing witness to this. As with the other Baltic States, little has been done to bring the criminals to justice.
Directly involved in the mass murder of Jewish citizens were the Estonian Security Police and the Omakaitse (Home Guard). They rounded up and exterminated between 400 and 1,000 Gypsies, 6,000 Jews and 15,000 Soviet p.o.w.s. Tens of thousands of Jews from other countries were sent to the Estonian extermination and work camps. The national Jewish population was virtually exterminated. It was the first country declared Judenfrei (Jew free) at the Wannsee Conference in Berlin in January, 1942.
The Estonian Aleksander Laak masterminded the Jagala Camp, where Jews were sorted into two categories: fit for work and unfit. The latter were sent by Laak to the Kalevi-Liiva extermination camp.
In the words of the OSCE document, genocide, human rights violations, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Q: Tensorflow Object Detection API - Detecting the humans not wearing Helmet *** Please note, my previous problem of detecting withouthelmet as NA is resolved.
Now I have a new issue, I used 1000 images for detecting humans not wearing helmets and also 1000 images for humans wearing helmet and 1000 images for only humans. I used SSD_mobilenet_v1_pets.config file for training.
Here is my pbtxt file
item {
    id: 1
    name: 'withouthelmet'
}
item {
    id: 2
    name: 'withhelmet'
}
item {
    id: 3
    name: 'person'
}

sample training Image

After the training my model detect every car as person..

Is that because of using ssd_mobilenet model(id: 1 for person but I used id: 1 as withouthelmet and id:3 for car but I used id:3 for person)
Pls help me to solve this problem

A: *

*Have you set num_classes to 1 in your config?

*Please note that min_negatives_per_image means min # of negative anchors (instead of images) so you data mix has nothing to do with this parameter.

I had to modify earlier answer - if you add a background image(image with no gt boxes) to the dataset, it should help reduce false positives. Sorry I got confused with some other stuff.

A: Have you used the pre-trained SSD-MobileNetV1 model trained on the pets dataset?
I think you better use a model trained on COCO dataset since it has persons, in contrast to pets.
Of course that if you train your model it will learn to detect the person as well, but since you don't have a lot of examples of persons without a helmet, it would probably be better to start with a model which knows what a person is.
Regarding your questions, if you only want to detect people without helmet, you can simply drop everything else in the pbtxt file, only put
item {
  id: 1
  name: 'withouthelmet'
  display_name: 'withouthelmet'
}

change the number of categories in the config file to 1, and fine-tune the model.

2 held in Karnataka for honey trapping a priest and extorting Rs 49L
CRIMEINDIA
Sambad English Bureau Published On : Jan 22, 2022 at 1:58 PM Updated On : Jan 22, 2022 at 2:00 PM
Dakshina Kannada: Karnataka police have arrested two persons including a married woman on charges of honey trapping a priest and extorting Rs 49 lakh from him in Mangaluru, Dakshina Kannada district, police said on Saturday.
According to police, Bhavya, 30, a resident of Somavarpet in Kodagu district and Kumar a.k.a Raju, a resident of Arakalagudu in Hassan district have been arrested in this connection.
The police said, the accused invited the priest from Chikkamagalur to their home in Padavinangady in Mangaluru to perform special pooja. They told the priest they wanted a solution for family disputes.
When the priest came to their home, the lady behaved intimately with him and took photos and videos. Later, the priest was blackmailed by the accused persons and an extortion demand was made. They threatened the priest that if he doesn't pay up, his photos and videos would go viral.
The priest, fearing for his image in society, paid Rs 49 lakh to the accused. He deposited the money in various bank accounts as told by the accused. The priest told the police that due to the pressure of the accused he had taken a loan of Rs 15 lakh to pay them.
When accused further demanded money, the priest tried to commit suicide. After this, he complained to the police. Acting on the complaint, the police arrested the accused persons. They have seized two gold rings worth Rs 37,000, Rs 31,000 cash and four mobiles from the accused persons.
The accused was found to be leading a lavish life with the extorted money. They had shifted to a flat taken on lease for Rs 10 lakh. Earlier, they lived in a small rented house. They had spent about Rs 7 lakh on luxurious household things and purchased a two-wheeler. Further investigation is on.

Cardamom is the dried, unripened fruit of the perennial Elettaria cardamomum. Enclosed in the fruit pods are tiny, brown, aromatic seeds which are slightly pungent to taste. Cardamom pods are generally green but are also available in bleached white pod form. It is available both in the whole pod and as decorticated seeds with the outer hull removed.
Cardamom is used in Danish pastries, Saudi Arabian, North African, Asian, and Indian cooking and in spice blends such as garam masala, curry powder, and berbere.
Whole Cardamom pods come from India while the decorticated seeds are imported from Guatemala. Two varieties are indigenous to India but are also cultivated in Guatemala and Sri Lanka. Indian Cardamom is considered to be of premium quality. The Malabar type, rounded in shape, has a pleasantly mellow flavor generally regarded as superior. The Mysore type, ribbed and three cornered, has a slightly harsher flavor but retains its green color longer.
Throughout the Arab world, Cardamom is one of the most popular spices, with Cardamom coffee being a symbol of hospitality and prestige. The spice is also very popular in the Scandinavian countries where it is used more extensively than cinnamon.

A Smart Phone is a digital cellular phone that has text messaging, web access and other data services, along with voice. It is a mobile phone with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than basic feature phones.
Smart phones typically include the features of a computer with those of another popular consumer device, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a media player, a digital camera, and/or a GPS navigation unit.
Later smart phones include all of those plus the features of a touchscreen computer, including web browsing, Wi-Fi, 3rd-party apps, motion sensor and mobile payment capabilities.
The first mobile phone with PDA features was sold in 1994 by BellSouth with the name Simon Personal Communicator. The Simon was the first device that was truly a "smartphone", even though that term had not been coined yet (it appeared in print in 1995 describing AT&T's "PhoneWriter(TM) Communicator" as a "smart phone"). In addition to being able to make and receive cellular phone calls, Simon could send and receive faxes and e-mails, and included several other apps such as address book, calendar, appointment scheduler, calculator, world time clock, and note pad through its touch screen display.
There are four main variants of smart phone available on the market: Apple's iPhone, Android, Windows and Blackberry. Each have their fan base although most models offer the same basic functionality.

Those looking at sales jobs are often motivated by a bedrock belief in the quality of the product they are selling and its value, an expert has claimed.
David Chittock, president of Incentra, has told Sales and Marketing that he believes the money focus many of those in sales jobs have is not due to simple greed but the rough and tumble elements of the profession.
He said: "Sales is the front lines of capitalism. Help your team develop a love for the sales profession and a passion for the meaning of what they do."
The key things that people need to do in order to create sales motivation is to get involved in other sales' people's lives and to understand what they are trying to achieve and the values they operate with.
Sales jobs applicants could soon be in line to benefit from the right to request training, which will come into force from April 2011.
This will require companies to seriously consider whether to grant workers time off for relevant training.

The court ordered the CBI to supply e-copies of the chargesheet to all the accused, and said that it would hear the case next on May 20, 2018.
A court in Delhi on Wednesday granted bail to former Air Marshal Jaspal Singh Gujral on a bail bond of Rs 2 lakh in the AgustaWestland helicopter scam case, ANI reported.
The court told the Central Bureau of Investigation to supply e-copies of the chargesheet to all the accused, and said that it would hear the case next on May 20, 2018.
The CBI had chargesheeted Gujral, along with former Air Force chief SP Tyagi and eight others on September 1. Tyagi's cousin Sanjeev Tyagi, advocate Gautam Khaitan, alleged Indian middleman Michael James and European middlemen Carlo Gerosa and Guido Haschke were also named by the agency.
The AgustaWestland helicopter deal is related to an agreement signed in 2010 to buy 12 helicopters from the Italian firm. The Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government was in power at the time. The deal was put on hold after Italian authorities arrested Giuseppe Orsi, the head of the firm's parent company Finmeccanica, in 2013.
The CBI has claimed that SP Tyagi conspired to reduce the service ceiling for VVIP helicopters from 6,000 metres to 4,500 metres, which the Air Force had opposed before because of security concerns, so that AgustaWestland qualified for submitting bids for the deal. The CBI has said that the deal was worth Rs 3,767 crore, of which 12% was allegedly paid in bribes.
SP Tyagi was arrested on December 9, 2016, and was granted bail on December 26. The CBI's Special Court granted bail to Sanjeev Tyagi and Khaitan on January 4, 2017.


You are here: Home / Charis Newsletter / The Volunteers – The People Who Make a Difference!
Someone once said that volunteers represent LOVE put into action. How much truth is in this sentence! If we look closely, starting with the Old Testament, book of Deuteronomy, God clearly states what He is expecting from His people: to love Him and to love their neighbor. Christ changed this expectation into a commandment: Love the Lord, your God and your neighbor as yourself. The love you show Him and to your neighbors makes the difference. And only those who love like this are capable of performing charitable acts, without expecting something in return.
We have recently had a group of volunteers (Edith, Denis, Malcom, Michael, Lynn, Abi, Kelvin, and Dave) from St. Stephen's Church Tonbridge, UK, joining us for a week. They came here to serve together with us. They paid the price of this mission with their time and money. And they did not do just any kind of work, but exceptional work.
These people took up the shovel, bucket, wheelbarrow, made concrete, set the sidewalks and tiles, painted fences and roofs. And they did all of these with abundant passion and precision, even though their jobs back home were totally different. Watching them in different circumstances, I realized that they learned how to put into practice what Apostle Paul told those in Corinth: So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
You can also do what they did. You can also be a volunteer. It is all up to you … if you want. I encourage you to come together with us and help us spread our hands to the people and communities without any hope. You can also make a difference! Join us!

We were happy to be able to give a helping hand to a small Gypsy community not too far away from Sântion. These people periodically pass by Charis in their carriages; so we started interacting with them more and we were able to identify some of their needs that we can fulfill. We prepared more than 80 sacks of clothes, shoes, and staple foods for a few tens of Gypsy families. We were able to help this particular community also in the past through the means of a Christian family from that community. You can see images from this project here.
We wish to put the Charis Center in Sântion at the disposal of children, teenagers, young adults, and adults for different activities (recreational, educational, cultural, religious, etc.). We were happy to have a couple of groups with us. A group of young men from Bucharest stopped by Charis before riding their bicycles to Auschwitz, Poland. Also, the 5th graders from a Christian high school came to Charis for a weekend, together with their parents.
Due to the fact that the weather will be changing soon (colder weather, rain, snow, and then ice), we focused our attention on the building of Charis Center. As you may recall, the building was hit by a hailstorm in June this year. Hundreds of hailstones hit the entire Western part of the building (over 200 square meters), thus creating a perfect path for the water to infiltrate to the insulation and plaster. Thanks to the continuous effort of the Charis staff, each hole was cleaned, primed, covered with a special plaster, primed a second time, and painted with the final color. By the end of our work, the whole Western side had been repainted. See more details here.
We prepared jam for the elderly people living in Dumbrava, Râpa, Tinca. There are more than 200 people living in these three locations. We were happy to be able to bring a bit of 'sweetness' to their lives through our gift. We had another project through which we brought (for a day) to Oradea and Charis three people from Tinca. We went shopping with them, we visited the city of Oradea, and we spent some time in Charis Center talking about their families, lives, and problems. We also played games and ate together. It was such a blessing for us to be able to spend a day with them. See more here.
There have been a lot of activities in the garden in Sântion. We picked the walnuts and grapes and we made grape juice. Also, we prepared the winter shelter and food for the goats. We maintained the trees around Charis, the plants, garden, all the green spaces, and our small goat and chicken farm. What our garden produces supports the projects and programs of the foundation.
Our team of volunteers has grown. Ronela, Teodora, and Petrică joined in our efforts to fulfill Charis mission. Pray that God may bless them and encourage them in their service.
Rebeca, a person who has been involved in Charis for many years and member in Charis Board, is pregnant. Pray that God may protect her and the baby all throughout the pregnancy, at the delivery, and afterwards.
Lajos, one of the boys who were in Charis, has been working for some years in Italy, a country that has been severely hit by powerful earthquakes. God had mercy on him and saved him. Pray that God may protect him there.
One of the washing machines in Charis, over 30 years old, broke down. We need to buy a new one, but for this we would need 500 Euros.

Q: When splitting a Django model, How to keep ForeignKey and ManyToMany relationships during data migration? I have a Django model that is doing way too much. Here's an abbreviated example of the model. Basically, it can represent four different Entity types, and there are recursive ForeignKey and ManyToMany relationships that point to other entities.
This project is currently using Django 1.8.x and Python 2.7.x, but I can upgrade those if the solution requires it.
class Entity(models.Model):
    """
    Films, People, Companies, Terms & Techniques
    """

    class Meta:
        ordering = ['name']
        verbose_name_plural = 'entities'

    # Types:
    FILM = 'FILM'
    PERSON = 'PERS'
    COMPANY = 'COMP'
    TERM = 'TERM'
    TYPE_CHOICES = (
        (FILM, 'Film'),
        (PERSON, 'Person'),
        (COMPANY, 'Company'),
        (TERM, 'Term/Technique'),
    )

    created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, auto_now=False)
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=False, auto_now=True)
    type = models.CharField(max_length=4, choices=TYPE_CHOICES, default=FILM)
    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True, unique=True, help_text="Automatically generated")
    name = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=True)
    redirect = models.ForeignKey('Entity', related_name='entity_redirect', blank=True, null=True, help_text="If this is an alias (see), set Redirect to the primary entry.")
    cross_references = models.ManyToManyField('Entity', related_name='entity_cross_reference', blank=True, help_text="This is a 'see also' — 'see' should be performed with a redirect.")
    [... and more fields, some of them type-specific]

I realize this is rather messy, and I'd like to remove 'type' and make an EntityBase class that abstracts out all of the common fields, and create new Film, Person, Company, and Term models that inherit from the EntityBase abstract base class.
Once I create the new models, I think I understand how to write the data migration to move all of the field data over to the new models (iterate over objects from Entity, filtered via type, create new objects in the appropriate new model)... except the ForeignKey and ManyToMany relationships. Maybe I'm thinking about this the wrong way, but how can I transfer those relationships when, during the migration, the new object that the relationship points to may not exist yet?
I suspect this may mean a multi-step migration, but I haven't quite worked out the right way to do it.

A: There is nothing magical about m2m and fk fields. This is the procedure that I would follow... It might be a bit blunt, but will get the job done:

*

*Make a BACKKKUPPPPPPppp of the database!!

*Make another backup!

*Create the new model and migration

*Write a new data migration that will manually iterate over existing models and update the new model, one-by-one. Don't be afraid of the for loop here, unless you have millions of entries in db.

*Delete redundant models and/or fields, make migration for this.

*Run those migrations :)

In practice, this means a lot of restoring from the "BACKKKUPPPPPPppp" until the migrations are just right.
One little thing to take care of:
M2m fields cannot get any value if model is not yet saved (because model gets its ID on first save). I would do something like, in the manual migration:
new_instance = NewModel()
new_instance.somefield = "whatever"
new_instance.meaning = 42
....
new_instance.save()
new_instance.that_m2m_field.add(some_related_obj)

Of course, make sure you read the docs in detail, especially that bit about importing the model class - you can't just import it from myapp.models import MyModel, instead do:
MyModel = apps.get_model("myapp", "MyModel")

One possible tripping stone might be the model inheritance that you plan to introduce. Generally, you will want to operate on the child model, and access the parent from there as / if needed. Parent can be accessed via the implicit ptr attribute - in your example it would be entitybase_ptr or something similar (that is just a OneToOne field). Going in the other direction, however, (from parent to unknown child) is not as straightforward, because parent doesn't a priori know what is the class of its child.

What is an Electron Microscope ?
Click on above for comparison of lights vs electron microscopes
Simple definition:
An electron microscope is a microscope (i.e. an imaging device used to view very small items or areas) that uses beams of electrons instead of rays of visible light to form larger than "real life" images of tiny areas, materials or biological specimens.
This is possible because a "stream" of electrons can be emitted efficiently from an "electron gun" (consisting of a cathode forming the source of electrons which are then accelerated by an anode) and such a stream, called a "beam" of electrons, has wave-like properties. It therefore behaves in a similar way to light. However, an electron beam has an effective wavelength of less than one namometre (< 1 nm), which is much shorter than the wavelength of visible light, which is in the range 400-700 nm, the exact value depending on the colour of the light.
The fact that beams of electrons behave like waves makes it possible for them to form images.
The fact that their effective wavelength is so short enables them to form very high resolution images (compared with those formed by visible light). The power of the electromagnets used to control the path of electrons within an electron microscope enables extremely high magnification images to be formed.
High resolution and high magnification are desirable qualities for microscopes so electron microscopes have been developed and made available in several forms to meet different types of special requirements e.g. to image slices of material, or surfaces, or to minimise specific types of limitations e.g. optical aberrations.
Size of Electron Microscopes:
Comparison: Typical light microscopes, e.g. of the type used in biology classes in schools and colleges, are usually sufficiently light and compact that students can comfortably move them between storage and laboratory workbenches. Electron microscopes are much larger can cannot be casually moved around a laboratory or building. Details of the size and shape depend on the type of electron microscope.
Types of Electron Microscope:
There are two main types of electron microscope, TEM and SEM, as well as other types of electron microscopes, incl.
Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) Discussed in AS Biology
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Discussed in AS Biology
Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)
Field Emission Transmission Microscope (FE-TEM)
Reflection Electron Microscope (REM)
Spin-Polarized Low-Energy Electron Microscope (SPLEEM).
The main difference between TEMs and SEMs is:
In the case of TEMs the electron beam is directed through the specimen - with the image plane on the opposite side of the specimen from the cathode (source of electron beam).
In the case of SEMs, the electron detector equipment is on the same side of the specimen as the incident electron beam - but at an angle of approx 90 degrees to the incoming beam so that the image is formed by electrons that have been scattered by the specimen as opposed to having passed through it.

Q: How to use $http inceptor to automatically attach the token to request I am developing a authentication mechanism
I am using nodejs for the sever side and on successful login i am generating jwt token
How to use that generated token on subsequent request from the client side built using Angularjs
*on successfully login i am redirecting the user to home page with the generated token, but i am not understanding how can i use the generated token back and front and serve  the api calls

A: Store the token in a service, let's call it: authService.
then, in the .config of your module, inject $httpProvider and just add this:
    $httpProvider.interceptors.push('yourInterceptor');

Then somewhere (in the same file or another, doesn't matter), declare a service call 'yourInterceptor':
angular
    .module('yourModule')
    .factory('yourInterceptor', yourInterceptor);

function yourInterceptor(authService) {
    return {
       request: function(config) {
          // config describe the call that will be made
          // you can modify the url, the headers...etc
          // for example
          config.headers.Authorization = "Bearer " + authService.myWebToken;

          return config;
       }
    }
}

Note that an interceptor can also be used to intercept requestError, response, responseError. see https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http

The Originals' Joseph Morgan: Freya Is the Female Klaus!
Plus: Scoop on Dahlia's big entrance
Robyn Ross April 2, 2015, 5:00 p.m. PT
If The Originals' Klaus thought his mother was a terrible person, wait until he meets his aunt!
Before Klaus (Joseph Morgan) faces Dahlia (Claudia Black), who can threaten the person who means the most to Klaus, he'll have another family member to contend with: his sister Freya (Riley Voelkel), who was recently revealed to be alive. On Monday's episode (8/7c, CW), Klaus will have to trust Freya in order to save their other sister Rebekah, whose host body, that of evil witch Eva Sinclair (Maisie Richardson-Sellers), is starting to take over.
Find out how Klaus plans to take down Eva while saving his sister, how he'll use Aiden (Colin Woodell) to manipulate Jackson (Nathan Parsons), and if we'll see more of him with baby. Plus: Will there be a time-jump before next season?
Dahlia is finally coming to town! What can you say about her?
Joseph Morgan:
Claudia is so good [as Dahlia]. She's super subtle and, as she likes to put it, she's not twirling the mustache. Yet she brings an intensity to the role. A lot of my [scenes] are tied up with Dahlia as we get towards the end of the season. We know what a threat she is, but we're going to find out how she feels and what she wants.
Find out when Supernatural, Arrow and more CW season finales will air
Klaus doesn't trust his sister Freya. Is he shutting her out too quickly or will he prove that his instincts were right?
Morgan:
I feel like a bit of both is true. He is shutting her out too quickly because there's opportunity there. She's a powerful witch and she definitely wants -- or seems to want -- to be a part of the family. But I think she has her own motives and goals in mind and she's kind of ruthless. I saw her described as a female Klaus and I think that's true. She will trample down people in her past to get what she wants. He's right to take [what she says] with a pinch of salt, but he has such little patience. He'll flare up and snap a neck when he should be sitting down for a chat. So, he could do well to listen to Elijah and not be so quick to shut someone out.
Eva has taken over Rebekah, who's in her body. Will Klaus struggle with how to neutralize her without killing his sister forever?
Morgan: That's exactly the struggle he faces in [Monday's episode]. It would be easy to just kill her, but he can't do that because but there are parts of Rebekah that are still in there. It's a delicate operation, and they have to find a way to bring her out of there and suppress Eva somehow. What's exciting for me about the episode is to see more of Maisie playing Eva.
Klaus is priming Aiden to take over as the leader of the pack. Will we see more of Klaus "mentoring" him?
Klaus is really trying to get Aiden in his back pocket because if Aiden can take the pack, then he's manipulating Jackson out of the way and getting into the position where he can take him out. We'll see more of that and I enjoy that relationship as well because it's nice to see Aiden struggle and to be so stuck. He's fighting for his life and in way over his head, but there is part of him that believes his decisions would be better than Jackson's. Maybe he would make a better alpha. He certainly took care of the pack while Jackson was away. He kept things running. We are going to go further in that story line and see how Aiden feels with all the pressure of that.
The Originals Boss: This Next Chapter Is Finn's Revenge
I love seeing Klaus with baby Hope. Will we learn more about her innate powers?
Morgan: It's been a little while, but there is some stuff coming up. I'm hoping going into Season 3 we delve into [her powers] because it was a beautiful moment when the car stopped short of the safe house and they ended with the shot on the baby looking off. It was so creepy! Personally, I would love a time jump before Season 3, but I'm not sure how we would do that because we're still tied to the timeline of The Vampire Diaries to enable crossovers. But it would be cool if we jumped a few years and Hope is a little girl.
How would Klaus be as a dad by then?
I take pleasure in playing the awkward tentativeness he approaches having a child with. Because after you're 1,000 years old, to have something new and uncomfortable is a surprise and a gift for me as an actor. I still don't think he's 100 percent comfortable with being a father. When she starts to talk, I think it'll be a whole other thing for him.
Regardless, it's pretty crazy how far he's come.
Morgan: When I first found out he was going to have a child [I thought], "Wouldn't it be wonderful to see this mass-murdering psychopath holding a tiny, innocent creature feeling this pure love?" {She] was really the opposite of what he is and what he stood for so long. So, it was nice to have that realized. That point [when he held Hope], you could put a pin in it and go that's a turning point for him, a bench mark.
The Originals returns on Monday at 8/7c on The CW.

Q: How to troubleshoot a plugin while developing in Jenkins? I'm developing a plugin from scratch, (Using HelloWorldBuilder as an example) but I can't seem to understand how to troubleshoot it. For example, I've written the following code.
The plugin is not displayed in the Build Steps although no error is seen during the start of Jenkins (in the console or web management of Jenkins) using hpi:run.
How can I troubleshoot why the plugin is not displayed?
public class MyConsole extends Builder {

The late Sam Phillips did so much in his 80-year life span that he will be eulogized and appreciated for many years to come. From his tiny little Sun Records recording studio at 706 Union Ave. in Memphis, he sent out to the world the exquisite blues of B.B. King, the raw power of Howling Wolf and the haunting harmonies of the penitentiary group, the Prison Aires. He showed that the black blues and the country blues were flip sides of the same expressions of a shared life. He captured the raw emotion of Southern music -- whether it was white or black. He was often criticized by whites for recording blacks and by blacks for recording whites. With Elvis Presley, he invented rock �n� roll. And then -- just to sweeten the mix -- he threw in Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison and Carl Perkins. It�s still an understatement to say that he changed the world.
Along the way, he permanently changed country music and Nashville when the fledgling producer Billy Sherrill was installed in Phillips� Nashville studio, where Sherrill went on to produce monumental hits by George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Tanya Tucker and many others. In many ways, Sam set the agenda for rock and country. And that�s a pretty good legacy to take into eternity with you.
Interviewing Sam was like sitting at the feet of Moses, with lightning bolts striking all around you. He would warm to a particular subject and start to swell up a little bit like the best preachers do, and then he�d have to rise to his feet and start to pace as he orated and preached. His eyes would widen and the pupils would go black as he fixed you in his mesmerizing gaze. He may suddenly drop to one knee, as a preacher would, to command your full attention. Music is power, he thundered. He could preach that message a hundred different ways from Sunday, and the sermons always ran to a really long time but always made perfect sense -- once you thought it out -- and always were right.
Phillips� most lasting lesson was that music really was empowerment -- before that politically correct word came into fashion. Sam said music was power, and he was dead on right with that one. His stable of Memphis horses changed popular music and American society and forever changed the way popular music would be viewed, or performed or recorded.
One of the most interesting things Phillips ever did will undoubtedly remain a historical footnote. But I find it fascinating. Sam, who was fascinated with radio since childhood, decided that he wanted to launch an all-female station. Radio then, much more than it is now, was a male bastion, a genuine boys� club. But Sam wanted to try something different.
And he did. Acknowledging publicly that radio was a male-dominated industry, Phillips launched Memphis station WHER in 1955 as �the first all-girl radio station in the world.� All the employees were women -- announcers, sales, news staff, managers, music librarians, everyone. Many of the employees had no radio experience because entry jobs for women in radio were scarce indeed. But they learned very quickly.
�One thousand beautiful watts� was the station�s slogan, and many critics initially dismissed the station as a novelty. But Phillips was dead serious and WHER became a serious station, as well as a thorough training ground for women in radio.
The station lasted into the early �70s. By that time, enough doors had been broken down that an all-women station was no longer necessary. As Phillips predicted, WHER legacy was in breaking down barriers against women in radio. Just as Sun Records wrought a major revolution in music, WHER wrought a smaller -- but just as valid -- revolution in radio.
Sun Records founder Sam Phillips died Wednesday (July 30) in Memphis at the age of 80. The Country Music Hall of Fame member had been ill for several months.
As the record producer and label executive who launched the careers of Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison and Charlie Rich, his independent spirit altered the course of country and rock �n� roll. But as the visionary who first recognized the talent of Elvis Presley, Phillips literally changed the world.
Born Jan. 5, 1923, on a tenant farm in Florence, Ala., Phillips worked at radio stations in Alabama and Tennessee, becoming an announcer at WREC in Memphis in 1945. By 1950, he had established his Memphis Recording Service studio at 706 Union Ave., where he recorded future blues legends Howlin� Wolf, B.B. King and James Cotton. A year later, he used Ike Turner�s band to produce singer Jackie Brenston�s �Rocket 88� -- considered by many to be the first rock �n� roll record.
Having previously served as a talent scout for other record labels, Phillips founded Sun Records in 1952 to specialize in rhythm & blues. Sun�s initial catalog included hits by acts such as Rufus Thomas and Little Junior Parker's Blue Flames.
With a strong understanding and appreciation of the blues, Phillips had a long-standing desire to mix the music with the country sounds he�d grown up listening to on radio stations such as Nashville�s WSM. Lightning flashed and the planets aligned in 1953 when 19-year-old truck driver Elvis Presley wandered into the studio to record two songs as a gift for his mother. Phillips was about to make history. With musical backing from guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley�s first commercial recording more than fulfilled Phillips� dream. Released in the summer of 1954, it was a two-sided hit -- a cover of rhythm & blues singer Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup�s "That's All Right" with a revved-up arrangement of Bill Monroe�s "Blue Moon of Kentucky."
"In no way was I attempting to chastise or corrupt or do anything that would be adverse to the great basis of country music and its experiences," the flamboyant Phillips told CMT.com before his 2001 induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame. "Many things were being done in Nashville at the time that I thought were good. I really didn't have a desire to outdo Nashville -- or New York or Los Angeles. I just had my own feelings about the blues and, especially, Southern white and black gospel." Referring to Sun Records� heyday, Phillips once noted, "We're all crazy. But it's a type of insanity that borders on genius. I really feel that. To be as free as you have to be for any kind of music, you almost have to be in another dimension. And to do the broad expanse of rock �n� roll takes an element of mind expansion that people less creative would term insanity." While historians would later question why he sold Presley�s contract to RCA for a mere $35,000, Phillips used part of the money to become an investor in a burgeoning hotel chain in the early �50s -- a company named Holiday Inn. Having accrued a fortune from his investments, Phillips sold Sun Records and its catalog to music industry veteran Shelby Singleton in 1969.
In later years, Phillips and sons Knox and Jerry operated the Sam Phillips Recording Service and a music publishing company. Phillips came out of retirement briefly to join his sons in co-producing John Prine�s 1979 rockabilly-influenced album, Pink Cadillac.
Phillips joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, the first year of inductions. It took another 15 years for him to become a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. When the induction took place during a private dinner in Nashville, Phillips seized the moment to embark on a lengthy monolog that rambled through several tangents involving the music industry. With the fire and vocal delivery of an evangelist at a tent revival, Phillips preached the gospel as he knew it -- about how great music has the power to improve all mankind.
Sam Phillips knew great music. And he understood that great music often defies simple categorization.
historians may never agree about where and where Rock N Roll was born. But all historians do agree that an entrepreneur in the world music named Sam Phillips began a revolution and spawned a legacy when he created Sun Records - the place where Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and so many others their start. If this story of Sun Records was merely the story of the discovery and emergence of a single performer - Elvis - it would be astonishing enough. But it is not. It defines some of the most appealing roots of American popular taste, and it all happened in Memphis. The work of many original Sun artist is reprised in this two hour American Master film by such performers as Paul McCartney, Jimmy Page and Live, several accompanied by Elvis original sideman Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana. The Film also includes a moving rendition of Lonely Weekend with Jerry Lee Lewis and Matchbox and a emotional reunion of old Mississippi Delta musicians.

Q: How are the two Galois groups are equal? Let a polynomial $f(x)\in{K[x]}$ splits in $F$ as $f(x)=(x-a_{1})^{m_{1}}...(x-a_{n})^{m_{n}}$ where $a_{i}\in{F}$ are distinct. and $E:=K(b_{0},...,b_{n})$ where $b_{0},...,b_{n}$ are the coefficient of the polynomial $g(x)= (x-a_{1})...(x-a_{n})$. Then show that:
(a) $F$ is Galois over $E$, and
(b) $Aut_{E}F=Aut_{K}F$.
I fixed part (a). For part (b), I know $Aut_{E}F\subset{Aut_{K}F}$, but the other direction is killing me. I asked my professor and he told me it is immediate from (a) but I am still having trouble how is it immediate?


The City has partnered with two start-ups to focus on improving overall mobility in Sacramento.
In the coming weeks, the City will work with Unleash Live to improve pedestrian safety through artificial intelligence (AI) technology, and with Xaqt to better understand travel patterns across all modes of transit.
Currently, pedestrian data is collected by the City via a labor-intensive, manual process. Unleash Live aims to change that by tapping into the City's network of traffic cameras and processing real-time imagery.
Xaqt collects data from different transportation and parking systems, giving the City a more comprehensive view of the types of individual trips taken by residents. That information will help shape future policies that support equitable access to sustainable transit modes, better parking management and progress toward climate goals.
"Xaqt is excited to help Sacramento gain deeper insights from various sources of transit data and greater visibility into mobility trends and patterns in an easy to consume analytics tool," said Chris Crosby, founder and CEO of Xaqt.
The partnerships were made possible through Startup in Residence (STIR), a program that connects start-ups with government agencies to develop technology products that solve civic challenges.
Through the 16-week STIR program, both Unleash Live and Xaqt will co-develop their solutions in partnership with the City of Sacramento. Project phases include discovery, user research, design, development and testing/deployment.
The City may choose to move forward with a full implementation of the solutions after the 16-week program ends.

Q: mongoose update not working with write concern disabled I want to get rid of the callback on "db-operation finished" (hoping to improve the performance inside of node.js - I am updating several 100k documents and it takes very long time with node memory consumption going to 1.5GB and one core is maxed out).
MongoBooks is my mongoose model.
This is the (test) code with a callback, which is working, it inserts a document into empty db:
MongoBooks.update({ isbn13: "abc" }, { isbn13: "abc", author: "andreas" }, { upsert: true }, function(err, res) {
        console.log(err, res);
    });

This is the code without the callback and a write concern of 0 - this is the version that I hope would improve performance (it does) but without doing anything to the database (I check through mongo repl on the collection):
MongoBooks.update({ isbn13: "abc" }, { isbn13: "abc", author: "andreas" }, { upsert: true, w: 0 });

How come that with w : 0 there is nothing done to the database?

A: According to the Mongoose 3.8 release notes, you must either pass a callback or explicitly tell Mongoose to execute the "unsafe" update by passing true for the callback parameter.
So it should be:
MongoBooks.update({ isbn13: "abc" },
                  { isbn13: "abc", author: "andreas" },
                  { upsert: true, w: 0 },
                  true);

Glenn Beck August 07, 2017
Google employee is under fire for internal memo opposing this politically correct policy
amazingmikael / Getty Images Plus
An unnamed Google software engineer wrote a 10-page internal memo critiquing Google's push for diversity – and the memo has predictably gone viral in a backlash. Obtained by Gizmodo, the memo titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber" made the argument that "discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business."
Glenn Beck analyzed the memo, which also critiqued Google's "left-leaning bias" as a company, on Monday's "The Glenn Beck Radio Program."
The engineer cautioned against assuming that a gender gap in technology leadership positions is automatically due to sexism, pointing to general differences between men and women as possible reasons for the gap. As one example, he generalized that women tend to seek more work-life balance, while men "have a higher drive for status."
Contrary to what people were saying in the backlash, the engineer was not saying that society is already perfect and racism and sexism never happen; instead, he was advocating for a fair approach to evaluate each person's skills rather than seeing everyone as a representative of a race or gender.
"I hope it's clear that I'm not saying that diversity is bad, that Google or society is 100% fair, that we shouldn't try to correct for existing biases, or that minorities have the same experience of those in the majority," the engineer wrote. "My larger point is that we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don't fit a certain ideology."
To see more from Glenn, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to "The Glenn Beck Radio Program" with Glenn Beck, Pat Gray, Stu Burguiere and Jeffy Fisher weekdays 9 a.m.–noon ET on TheBlaze Radio Network.

Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi Announces Ban on Single-Use Plastic Bags from June 2022
"Varieties"
Wed, 06 Apr 2022 17:56:20 +0000
https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3576566/environment-agency-%E2%80%93-abu-dhabi-announces-ban-single-use-plastic-bags-june-2022
Wednesday, 6 April, 2022 - 17:30
Bales of hard-to-recycle plastic waste are seen piled up at Renewlogy Technologies in Salt Lake City, Utah, US, on May 17, 2021. (Reuters)
The Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) announced on Wednesday that its ban on the use of single-use plastic bags will be effective from June 2022, based on its integrated single-use plastic policy that was introduced in 2020.
EAD plans to gradually reduce the amount of single-use plastic products consumed across Abu Dhabi, and encourage the use of reusable products. In this context, it is planning to implement measures to reduce demand for about 16 single-use plastic products that include cups, stirrers, lids and cutlery, reported the UAE state news agency (WAM).
Additionally, EAD is also heading towards phasing out single-use styrofoam cups, plates and food containers by 2024.
Since the launch of the policy in March 2020, the Agency has coordinated extensively with its strategic partners concerned with implementing the policy, especially plastics producers and retailers, to ensure effective implementation, as new technical standards for multi-use bags have been set. In support of this drive, a large-scale awareness campaign will be carried out across the emirate to educate the public on the new procedures, helping to activate the ban on single-use plastic bags from June.
Dr. Shaikha Salem Al Dhaheri, Secretary-General of EAD, said: "By launching and implementing the integrated single-use plastic policy, EAD seeks to continue the legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed, whose deep passion for preserving the environment inspires us in our sustainability journey. We are extremely eager to continue on our path of reducing the consumption of single-use plastics in Abu Dhabi."
"As part of our plan to completely curb the use of single-use plastics, we are encouraging Abu Dhabi citizens to use more multipurpose and re-usable materials to reduce their environmental footprint. Today, we are introducing a ban on single-use plastic bags in the capital in light of their harmful impacts on the environment and biodiversity," she added.
"We have taken great strides toward realizing the policy's targets, and have built the regulatory framework to ensure the policy's successful implementation."
Under the single-use plastic policy, EAD has organized clean up events and awareness campaigns encouraging community members to play a role in protecting the environment while educating people on the damage done by the amounts of single-use plastics and litter and their impact on beaches and marine habitats. The Agency is also targeting private sector companies, providing them with tools to effectively plan for the policy's implementation.
The Agency has re-engineered its internal procedures to implement the policy and reduce the use of single-use plastics within its scope. Several agency partners from the government sector have also implemented initiatives to support the policy, while many restaurants are also launching initiatives to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics, and some major retailers are encouraging shoppers to use reusable shopping bags.
Furthermore, EAD is conducting a detailed and holistic study for the introduction of an incentive-based, single-use plastic water bottle return scheme in Abu Dhabi, in partnership with more than 30 private and public entities.
