Sirens (1994)
Grade: 61
"Sirens" is a drama set in circa 1930 Australia. Hugh Grant plays a minister given the task of stopping an eccentric painter (Sam Neill) from showing a blasphemous painting. Along with his beautiful but inhibited wife Tara Fitzgerald, he visits Neill's estate. While Grant argues for the painting's removal, Fitzgerald becomes involved with Neill's stable of models, which include smug Elle MacPherson, wicked Kate Fischer, waifish Portia De Rossi and blind mute Adonis Merk Gerber.
Neill is asexual in all areas except painting.  "Sirens" has a great deal of frontal nudity. (If you have always wanted to see MacPherson's body beyond what the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue shows, this is your opportunity.) The models are not content merely to bare all for Neill, and their eroticism leads to lesbian imagery, and (especially) fantasies with buff Gerber. Predictably, the reserved Fitzgerald becomes caught up in their sensual world. Surprisingly, Grant isn't too disturbed by this, perhaps because he consideres himself a progressive.
Assumedly, Neill's character has inherited a large fortune. Otherwise, it is difficult to believe he can afford his lifestyle. He lives in a fantastic estate with woods, cliffs, and lakes, and has at least eight dependents including himself.
The liberal attitude of the estate extends to the raising of Neill's twin toddler daughters. They have the run of the house, and no notice is taken of their perpetually rude comments.
"Sirens" manages to be a marginally good film despite its many problems. The story lags at times, De Rossi's innocent character isn't completely credible, and plot turns are both predictable and unlikely (a train derailment strands Grant and Fitzgerald at the Neill estate, and prim Fitzgerald becomes involved with the decadent models). Still, production values and casting helps, and there's plenty of eroticism served up to maintain interest.

Seed
class encapsulates the concept of SEED and provides methods for creating and manipulating SEEDs.
A SEED
and has two roles: provides a unique identifier for locating a Brick Archive's bar map, stored as brick in Brick Storage
and provides a cryptographic key for encrypting and decrypting the bar map.
A SEED's internal structure is an object with two keys: key
and endpoint
.
key
A random bytes Buffer
of length 32.
endpoint
The address of the Brick Storage that stores the brick that contains the Brick Archive's bar map. The brick that stores the
Brick Archive's bar map is found at the URL endpoint/hash(key)
.
randomBytes
function from the crypto
module. The Seed's class constructor can be called with two distinct ways, as follows:
compactSeed
The compact form
of a previously generated SEED. A SEED's compact form
is a string
resulted by the concatenation of the base58
encoded
key
and the base58
encoded endpoint separated by the character
|
endpoint
The address of the Brick Storage that stores the brick that contains the Brick Archive's bar map.key
| Optional
A 32 bytes long Buffer
. If not provided, a key is generated inside the Seed class.
compact form
. A SEED's compact form
is a string
resulted by the concatenation of the base58
encoded
key
and the base58
encoded endpoint separated by the character
|
. In other words:
endpoint/hash(key)
where hash
is a hashing function.
Buffer
used for encrypting/decrypting the Brick Archive's bar map. The cryptographic
key is generated applying the pbkdf2
key derivation function on the Seed's compact form
. In other words,
algorithm
| Optional
A string representing the encryption algorithm's name as defined in Open SSL
.
Based on the provided algorithm
the encryption key's length is determined. For example, if
the provided encryption algorithm is aes-256-ofb
, then the key's length is 256 bits (32 bytes). If the
provided encryption algorithm is aes-192-gcm
then the key is 192 bits (24 bytes) long. If no algorithm
is provided, then, by default, the aes-256-gcm
algorithm is used and, thus, a 32 bytes long encryption key
is generated.


When individuals mate with genetically similar individuals, inbreeding is the consequence. In this stochastic, individual-based spatial simulation, individuals can only mate with their immediate local neighbors. A higher mating distance shows distributions according to the Hardy-Weinberg principle. source


"HAGGAI", BOOK OF consists of two brief, comprehensive chapters. The object of the prophet was generally to urge the people to proceed with the rebuilding of the temple. Chapter first comprehends the first address (2-11) and its effects (12-15). Chapter second contains,(1.) The second prophecy (1-9), which was delivered a month after the first. (2.) The third prophecy (10-19), delivered two months and three days after the second; and(3.) The fourth prophecy (20-23), delivered on the same day as the third. These discourses are referred to in Ezra 5:1; 6:14; Hebrews 12:26. (Comp. Haggai 2:7, 8, 22.)

Each of them had to put their head into a clear Perspex helmet and their hands into a box.
They had two minutes to release two stars using the tools provided.
There were two stars each, making a total of 10 possible stars and 10 meals for camp.
And poor Jac was reduced to tears just watching her campmates in action, ahead of her turn.
"I feel like this is too soon to cry but I'm going to cry"" she said.
Going last, Jac told Ant and Dec that her biggest fear is spiders, before revealing her shaking hands.
And then something magical happened. Taking deep breaths to calm herself, the former EastEnders star unscrewed first one star, and then a second.
Her campmates cheered as they were informed they'd won seven stars collectively.
But it was all too much for the mum-of-two, who burst into tears again.
And, although I'm A Celeb viewers aren't normally fans of campmates turning on the waterworks, they were seriously impressed with Jac's determination.
What do you think of Jac on the show so far? Leave us a comment on our Facebook page @EntertainmentDailyFix and let us know.

Pupils do their bit to save the planet creating art with waste
Tidcombe Primary School had a week of creating artwork using plastic waste
by Lewis ClarkeArtwork has highlighted the environmental dangers of plastic to budding environmentalists in Tiverton.
Tidcombe Primary School had a week of creating artwork using plastic waste.
Year five designed flowers made from plastic bottles and used acrylic paints to cover them in bright and bold colours.
Year three and four invented slogans to try and encourage people to recycle. They discussed rhyming couplets and worked together to come up words to put on a display involving a turtle’s shell.
In year two, pupils explored the book ‘Somebody Swallowed Stanley. The story is about a plastic bag which looks like a jellyfish and eventually a turtle gets it stuck in his throat.
Year two teacher Harriet Gowing said: “Throughout the rest of the week we made lots of different parts of our display in the library. They’re all plastic bottle shapes and represent all the plastic floating in the ocean.
“We also created some plant pots with the plastic bottles we had left.
“By the end of the week, we had used almost 20 bags of recycling. We also used newspaper, magazines and recycled card to create sea animals.”
Pupils also enjoyed finding out how they can help the planet.
Teegan, 7, said: “We have created some posters with an important message to make sure people won’t chuck rubbish in the sea.
“Some animals think plastic is food, so they eat it, then their babies drink their milk so that then they get plastic in their bodies and can die.”
Lottie, 7, added: “We have learnt about how not to chuck so much rubbish on the floor and not to use too much plastic.
“My favourite activity was making the flowers because I liked learning about all different plants and outdoor world.”


Hellbound is a ’90s throwback inspired by shooters such as Doom and you can play the demo
by Stephany NunneleyIf you’re looking for a ’90s shooter throwback, maybe you should give Hellbound a try.
Hellbound, the fps inspired by shooter classics such as Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and others, has a demo available.
According to the developers, Argentina-based Saibot Studios, you play as a “huge-ass mother-f*cker” who is killing demons in Hell.
Going by the trailer, it definitely has a Doom vibe to it, and you’ll notice a tongue-in-cheek comment regarding Doom Eternal’s delay.
The studio took the game to Kickstarter in 2018 and it was successfully funded.
The release is listed as 2019. Head over to Steam and give the demo a try.

NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS A film review by Edwin Jahiel Copyright 1995 Edwin Jahiel
1/2 * Directed by (Sir) Peter Hall. Written by Lewis Green & Jordan Rush. Photography, Elemer Ragalyi. Editing, Roberto Silvi. Production design, Linda Del Rosario & Richard Paris. Music, Pino Donaggio. Cast: Rebecca De Mornay (Sarah Taylor), Antonio Banderas (Tony Ramirez), Dennis Miller (Cliff Raddison), Len Cariou (Henry Taylor), Beau Starr, Tim Kelleher, Eugene Lipinski, Philip Jarrett, and Harry Dean Stanton as "Max Cheski." Distributed by Tri-Star. 96 minutes. Rated R (Violence, language, sex)
The latest Antonio Banderas Movie Of The Week was helmed by respected stage director Peter Hall (knighted in 1977). Between 1967 and 1974, Sir Peter also directed six films, mostly adaptations of plays and mostly unpraised.
The writers of NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS are not movie celebrities either, although Jordan Rush must be a favorite son in Carbondale, Illinois, since he graduated from Southern Illinois University. There is also another, more tenuous Illinois connection. This movie's Hungarian cinematographer has shot several American films, including the 1990 JOURNEY OF HOPE (Oscar for Best Foreign Film), which was co-produced by University of Illinois alumnus Bill Hartman. All those tie-ins however do not make a movie worth watching.
It starts fairly promisingly as bright criminal psychologist Sarah (Rebecca De Mornay) has another one of her sessions in jail with accused serial killer Max (Harry Dean Stanton). Character actor Stanton is always good and has, in fact, improved a lot of films with his presence. Here he claims that he suffers from Multiple Personality Disorder, so that other selves are guilty. Ergo, I, Max, am innocent.
We also meet Sarah's womanizer pal Dennis Miller, with whom she once slept (she was drunk then). He then moved into her building, but now Sarah gently rejects his advances.
As a stand-up practitioner, actor and talk show host, Miller is too coarse, questionable and smug. He is in character here as he points out to Sarah that he is not after an involvement but only after sex. (His succinct, explicit phrasing was unprintable in the main paper I write for. But for the censorless Internet it was: "I just want to fuck.")
Sarah also has somewhere a boy-friend who once day disappeared. She and Puerto Rican biker Tony (Banderas) meet cute at a liquor store, where tattooed Tony discourses like a connoisseur of fine wines. This is one of the many mistakes of the film, since he looks as though he should be drinking out of a paper bag.
In quick succession, Sarah goes to his pad for wine-tasting, which means immediate, vigorous sex. Later the two reluctantly exchange information about themselves. Tony works in surveillance, electronic and otherwise.
Soon the plot thickens to impenetrability. Sarah is visited by her estranged and--it's hinted broadly--once abusive father. Her off-on relationship with Tony goes with incrementally kinky sex. It is uninteresting, even though the bodies are in fine shape and Miss De Mornay is not siliconed.
Sarah receives a gift package of dead flowers, then another with her dead cat. Later she reads her own obituary in the paper. The audience is theoretically supposed to suspect everyone, including Max who was released for lack of evidence. But the audience doesn't give a hoot.
Intermittently suspecting Tony, Sarah engages a shabby private investigator. Now the surveillance man is under surveillance, on the "set a thief to catch a thief" principle--while Hitchcock is crying in Movie Heaven.
Sarah learns that Tony is lying about his trips. There's an attempt on her life via an electric heater that is HANGS LOOSELY RIGHT OVER HER BATHTUB and is magically supposed to fall and electrocute her at the right moment!
That's about the only electricity in the film, since there is none between De Mornay and Banderas.  It uses a plethora of flashbacks and/or visions. The parts don't join or hold together. The proverbial "holes so big that you can drive a truck through" are here fit for locomotives.
The production values are good, with slick-and-somber camerawork. There is an overabundance of shots from various angles that stress enclosed spaces or suggest partitions such as freight elevator bars, railings and the like, all heavily symbolic of cages, jails and separations.
 It was dumb of the plot to have had him released from jail. It was even dumber to have had this movie released.

The Thomas Crown Affair * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by John McTiernan. Cast: Rene Russo, Pierce Brosnan, Denis Leary, Ben Gazzara, Fritz Weaver, Faye Dunaway. 1999 - 114 minutes. Rated R (for profanity, sex, and nudity). Reviewed August 8, 1999.
I've never seen the acclaimed 1968 Norman Jewison caper romance, "The Thomas Crown Affair," which top-lined Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and after viewing this highly stylized 1999 remake, let's just say I'm not exactly dying to rent it anytime soon. Old-fashioned, cliched, and considerably uninvolving, the only aspect of the film that even remotely distinguishes it from a mainstream '60s movie is the repeated exploitation of actress Rene Russo's breasts. Don't get me wrong; at 45-years-old, she still looks stunning, but when a film's story stops dead in its tracks simply to show somebody nude for no apparent reason, you basically can sense that you're in for the long haul.
When a famous Monet painting turns up missing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Insurance Investigator Catherine Banning (Rene Russo) is sent in to find the thief and retrieve the priceless work of art, with the help of city investigator Michael McCann (Denis Leary). Ever notice how sleek, catchy names like Catherine Banning and Michael McCann only exist within the world of the cinema? Oh, how easy it is to get sidetracked. Anyway, all evidence points directly towards billionaire playboy Thomas Crown (Pierce Brosnan), so when Catherine begins snooping around and going out on dates with him to seek out any information she can get, and to blatantly steal his house keys right out of his pocket(!), imagine her utter shock when she discovers that she is madly, hopelessly, deeply falling for him. Sex ensues. So do some possible double-crosses. And so does a lingering getaway to a secluded Caribbean island where Catherine lets it all hang out and she and Thomas walk around in their birthday suits, and then go back to bed for another roll in the hay. Yes, you heard that right. And yes, it's as tedious as it sounds.
After a seemingly endless prologue which introduces us to Thomas Crown, a man who "has it all," except an interesting personality, and features the intricate theft of the Monet, edited at the pace of a legless 100-year-old, Rene Russo enters the scene and breathes some much-needed life to the film. Beautiful, sassy, and likable, Russo has returned after a long absence to a lead role in an adult studio picture; It's just too bad it couldn't have been a film in which the screenplay (ineptly penned by Leslie Dixon and Kurt Wimmer) was thrown away and extensively rewritten with at least an ounce of wit and flair. If there is one thing director John McTiernan does right with this remake, it is that, once she enters the picture at around the 15-minute mark, Russo instantly becomes the human focus of the story. Unfortunately, at the one-hour mark, McTiernan throws the romance into high gear, but in the process, concocts a series of unintentionally funny, totally unnecessary sex scenes, and drops Catherine's IQ score by several points.
Tugging Russo's dignity down even more is her pairing with Pierce Brosnan, a great-looking actor who nonetheless is as dull as a piece of chopped wood. For the film to ultimately work, one of the most essential components is an actor that is able to pull off Thomas Crown's intriguing qualities and effortless allure. While Brosnan seems to have fun in his James Bond movies, and therefore, is able to pull off that world-famous role, he is more or less vapid here. I don't know; maybe it's because he knew the script was severely flawed, as was the lackluster directing, and didn't have his heart into it because of this. At any rate, it's decidedly better to make the best of what you've got, rather than choose to play it dull. Just look at Russo; she has fun even when she's flashing the audience every couple minutes.
A desperate act if I've ever seen one, the original's Faye Dunaway makes a recurring, throwaway cameo as Thomas' psychiatrist, but the role is so thankless and wasteful that you are left wondering just what the point was. The scenes between the two stick out like a sore thumb in the context of the rest of the film, and there is no payoff to be had. Is McTiernan's purpose to give an "in the know" wink to those who remember the original? If so, then why not at least incorporate Dunaway somewhere in the confines of the story being told, instead of adding an extra, half-witted subplot that takes up even more precious minutes of the already-overlong running time.
There was another caper romance that came out this past April called "Entrapment," and it is the film that "The Thomas Crown Affair" only wishes it could be. "Entrapment" was filled with suspenseful and exciting sequences, and presented us with a relationship that played like more than just an afterthought. And if that's not enough, the two stars of the picture were Sean Connery and the radiant Catherine Zeta-Jones, who really set the romance on fire with heated chemistry and unavoidable passion. In contrast, you never for once believe that Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan are in love.

A bridge collapses on the highway that connects Savona to Turin
Genoa - On 14 August 2018 the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa caused the death of 43 people.
Genoa - The “Madonna del Monte” highway viaduct collapsed on the A6 Torino-Savona motorway in northern Italy. The section between the junction of the A6 and the A10 has been closed. The exact point of the accident is located between the port city of Savona, near Genoa, and the town of Altare, in the direction of Turin. Ongoing checks on the stability of the other section of the bridge. On 14 August 2018 the collapse of the Morandi bridge in Genoa caused the death of 43 people.

Chapter 12 Workshop Questions for Week 6
12.1 Short conceptual question - change in behaviour on freezing
As the concentration of a species increases the wavelength of emission increases in the solution phase but this same shift in wavelength is not when the solution is frozen. What photochemical process may be occuring to explain this effect?
12.2 Short conceptual question - effect of polar solvents on emission
Solutions containing anthracence and diethylaniline are shown to have broad emission at around 450 nm in toluene, but in dichloromethane no emission is observed.
The emission from athracene has λmax of 375 nm.
Suggest the processes going on which account for these observations.
12.3 Short conceptual question - isoemissive point
As the concentration of pyrene dissolved in toluene increases a new broad band with a broad featureless spectrum is observed, which is from excimer emisison. What evidence is there that emission is only from single molecule and excimer emission and no other states?
How would the absorption spectrum change as the concentration increases?
12.4 Short conceptual question - redox chemistry
Why does formation of an excited state decrease both the oxidation and reduction potential of a species?
12.5 Short conceptual question - effect of time delay
If a solution of pyrene in cyclohexane is excited with a very short (ps) pulse of lightafter 1 ns the emission spectrum observed is mainly that of the momomer, whereas after 100 ns emission is principally from the excimer. Why is this the case?
12.6 Short conceptual question - lifetimes
The emission spectra of 2-phenylindole shows a marked difference with changes in concentration.
At a concentration of 1 × 10−5 M the measured lifetime is 0.86 ns, whereas at 5 × 10−3 M the measured lifetime is 3.42 ns.
Why does the measured lifetime depend upon concentration?

| Value of LB_METHOD: | HYPERGRAPH (for hypergraph partitioning) or GRAPH (for graph partitioning) |
| Value of HYPERGRAPH_PACKAGE: | PHG |
| Parameters: | |
| LB_APPROACH |
The load balancing approach:. REPARTITION - partition but try to stay close to the current partition/distribution REFINE - refine the current partition/distribution; assumes only small changes PARTITION - partition from scratch, not taking the current data distribution into account |
| PHG_REPART_MULTIPLIER |
For repartitioning, this
parameter determines the trade-off between application communication
(as represented by cut edges) and data migration related to
rebalancing. PHG attempts to minimize the function
(PHG_REPART_MULTIPLIER* edge_cut + migration volume). The migration
volume is measured using the ZOLTAN_OBJ_SIZE_MULTI_FN or ZOLTAN_OBJ_SIZE_FN query functions. Make sure the
units for edges and object sizes are the same. Simply put, to emphasize communication within the application, use a large value for PHG_REPART_MULTIPLIER. Typically this should be proportional to the number of iterations between load-balancing calls. |
| PHG_MULTILEVEL |
This parameter specifies whether a multilevel method should be used (1) or not (0). Multilevel methods produce higher quality but require more execution time and memory. |
| PHG_EDGE_WEIGHT_OPERATION | Operation to be applied to edge
weights supplied by different processes for the same hyperedge: ADD - the hyperedge weight will be the sum of the supplied weights MAX - the hyperedge weight will be the maximum of the supplied weights ERROR - if the hyperedge weights are not equal, Zoltan will flag an error, otherwise the hyperedge weight will be the value returned by the processes |
| ADD_OBJ_WEIGHT |
Add another object (vertex)
weight. Currently multi-weight partitioning is not supported, but this
parameter may also be used for implicit vertex weights. Valid values
are: NONE UNIT or VERTICES (each vertex has weight 1.0) PINS or NONZEROS or vertex degree (vertex weight equals number of hyperedges containing it, i.e., the degree) |
| PHG_CUT_OBJECTIVE |
Selects the partitioning
objective, CONNECTIVITY or HYPEREDGES. While hyperedges
simply counts the number of hyperedges cut, the connectivity metric
weights each cut edge by the number of participating parts minus one
(aka the λ-1 cut metric). The connectivity metric better represents
communication volume for most applications. The hyperedge metric is
useful for certain applications, e.g., minimizing matrix border size in
block matrix decompositions. |
|
PHG_OUTPUT_LEVEL |
Level of verbosity; 0 is silent. |
| CHECK_HYPERGRAPH |
Check that the query functions
return valid input data; 0 or 1. (This slows performance; intended for
debugging.) |
| PHG_COARSENING_METHOD | Low-level parameter: The method to use in the matching/coarsening phase: AGG - agglomerative inner product matching (a.k.a. agglomerative heavy connectivity matching); gives high quality. IPM - inner product matching (a.k.a. heavy connectivity matching); gives high quality. L-IPM - local IPM on each processor. Faster but usually gives poorer quality. A-IPM - alternate between IPM and L-IPM. (A compromise between speed and quality.) none - no coarsening |
| PHG_COARSEPARTITION_METHOD | Low-level parameter: Method to partition the coarsest (smallest) hypergraph;
typically done in serial: RANDOM - random LINEAR - linear assignment of the vertices (ordered by the user query function) GREEDY - greedy method based on minimizing cuts AUTO - automatically select from the above methods (in parallel, the processes will do different methods) |
| PHG_REFINEMENT_METHOD |
Low-level parameter: Refinement algorithm: FM - approximate Fiduccia-Mattheyses (FM) NO - no refinement |
| PHG_REFINEMENT_QUALITY | Low-level parameter: Knob to control the trade-off between run time and quality. 1
is the recommended (default) setting, >1 gives more refinement
(higher quality partitions but longer run time), while <1 gives less
refinement (and
poorer quality). |
| PHG_RANDOMIZE_INPUT |
Low-level parameter: Randomize layout of vertices and
hyperedges in internal parallel 2D layout? Setting this parameter to 1 often reduces Zoltan-PHG execution time. |
| PHG_EDGE_SIZE_THRESHOLD |
Low-level parameter: Value 0.0 through 1.0, if number of vertices in
hyperedge divided by total vertices in hypergraph exceeds this
fraction, the hyperedge will be omitted. |
| PHG_PROCESSOR_REDUCTION_LIMIT |
Low-level parameter: In V-cycle, redistribute coarsened hypergraph to
this
fraction of processors when number of pins in coarsened hypergraph is
less than
this fraction of original number of pins. Original number of pins is
redefined
after each processor redistribution. |
| Default values: | |
| LB_APPROACH = REPARTITION |
|
| PHG_REPART_MULTIPLIER=100 | |
| PHG_MULTILEVEL=1 if LB_APPROACH = partition or repartition; 0 otherwise. | |

|
| It is possible to provide the graph query functions instead of the hypergraph queries, though this is not recommended. If only graph query functions are registered, Zoltan will automatically create a hypergraph from the graph, but this is not equivalent to graph partitioning.

The meaning of mhtlim depends on the value of lim_type:
lim_type =0:
- mthlim =3: Third-order polynomial reconstruction
- mthlim =7: Seventh-order polynomial reconstruction
lim_type =1:
- The value of mthlim selects a TVD limiter exactly as in Clawpack
lim_type =2:
- The value of mthlim does not matter; 5th-order WENO reconstruction is used

Project overview
Virtually Instructor-Led Training modules, or VILTs, give our clients the opportunity to bring together a global audience in a single, fully interactive, online training environment. As part of the Global Assurance Learning Academy, Design Lab created four VILTs for each of the learning pathways we designed. Our flipped classroom approach meant that learners had already completed a number of learning elements for a particular topic before attending the VILT. In the online environment, we were therefore able to bring all the relevant content together in a meaningful way. Learners were also able to share their experiences and thoughts with their peers.
In this example, we see the Project Management VILT which used results from a decision-making game, that learners had already completed, as an initial discussion point, before exploring other key development topics.
Working closely with Design Lab, we designed a brand new curriculum for Advanced Senior Auditors using a blend of various learning modules including Virtual Instructor-Led Training. It was a great example of team collaboration and pushing the boundaries of innovation that we wanted to introduce to the Global Assurance practice.

Website
The interactive website borrows a managerial technique of the question matrix to explore ideas around urban life and technologies of control. Building a rubric of inquiry derived from the coded assumptions of an urban simulation model that uses techniques of behavioral control to maximize resource-efficiency, health, and emotional wellbeing it provides answers that highlight other ways of inhabiting space. Responses vary in their tonal register, position in time, and often become deranged from their site of bureaucratic control. The text draws from borrowed visions of the future and descriptions of historical events. Organized around a set of prompts and questions, it is imagined as a script, or piece of experimental writing for the contemplation and production of a new vocabulary to engage with the timeliness of urban conditions.


Sergio Aguero in doubt for Manchester derby after injury vs. Chelsea
by Rob DawsonManchester City striker Sergio Aguero is a doubt for the derby with United after limping off during the 2-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday.
The Argentine, who has scored 13 goals this season, was forced off in the second half at the Etihad Stadium after a challenge from Reece James and is set to undergo a scan on Sunday.
City face Shakhtar Donetsk, Newcastle and Burnley before United's visit on Dec. 7.
"We will see but it doesn't look good," said Guardiola. "I think it's muscular. He thought it was a kick but i think he stretched a little bit.
"He is going to be out some days during the toughest part of our season."
Guardiola has already lost Leroy Sane and Aymeric Laporte to long-term knee injury and saw midfielders Rodri and David Silva also go off injured against Chelsea. Oleks Zinchenko remains sidelined.
"With Rodri and David they were problems with cramp and tiredness," said Guardiola. "Rodri went a month and a half without playing many games.
"This kind of game is so demanding because the physicality is incredible. That's why it happened."

The main reason for visiting Iraklion is to visit the ancient site of the city of Knossos outside the town. It is not considered a very attractive port of call or a particularly good haven.
Position 35° 20.4'N, 25° 08.2'E.
For full details on clearing into our out of Greece see Greek Formalities.
The Port Authority building is located in the old Venetian port, a long walk from the outer quays.
The skipper should visit the Port Captain's office with the ship's documents, crew passports and vaccination certificates, if coming from abroad, or with the transit log if coming from another Greek port. Yachts clearing into Greece will be issued a transit log by the Port Captain's office, who will also advise on the procedure if any of the crew needs a visa for Greece. Yachts arriving from some areas, such as Egypt, may also be visited by a quarantine officer.
April 2013: Cruisers have warned of high clearance charges (100 Euros for a DEKPA instead of 30 Euros) in Sitia, Crete.
The Port Captain's office is open 24 hours, Tel. 22 9445, Fax 24 4934.
There is no longer any berthing available in the inner, old Venetian harbour as it is full of local boats.
There is, however, space for yachts on one of the quays in the outer port and yachts tend to be put on the quay under the Port Police building in the SW corner of the outer harbour. It is advisable to call the port authorities on entry to check first.
Note that the quay is high with limited bollards, and it can be difficult to get ashore. Most yachts use their dinghies to go ashore via the inner harbour. There is water and electricity available on the quay.
This quay is not really tenable in Easterly winds above 15 knots.
There is nowhere to anchor behind the breakwater.

Automated updates to ExifTool (as new versions come out monthly)
Robust test coverage, performed with the latest Node v6, v8, and v10 on Linux, Mac, & Windows.
yarn add exiftool-vendored
or
npm install --save exiftool-vendored
Note that exiftool-vendored
provides an installation of ExifTool relevant
for your local platform through
optionalDependencies.
You shouldn't include either the exiftool-vendored.exe
or
exiftool-vendored.pl
as direct dependencies to your project.
See the Version History for breaking changes since you last updated.
There are many configuration options to ExifTool, but all values have (more or less sensible) defaults.
Those defaults have been used to create an exported
exiftool
singleton. Feel free to review the ExifTool
constructor parameters and override default
values where appropriate if the defaults wont' work for you, but you should use
your singleton to minimize system load. Note that if you don't use the default
singleton, note that you don't need to .end()
it.
// We're using the singleton here for convenience:
const exiftool = require("exiftool-vendored").exiftool
// And to verify everything is working:
exiftool
.version()
.then(version => console.log(`We're running ExifTool v${version}`))
ExifTool.read()
returns a Promise to a Tags instance. Note
that errors may be returned either by rejecting the promise, or for less
severe problems, via the errors
field.
All other public ExifTool methods return Promise<void>
, and will reject
the promise if the operation is not successful.
exiftool
.read("path/to/image.jpg")
.then((tags /*: Tags */) =>
console.log(
`Make: ${tags.Make}, Model: ${tags.Model}, Errors: ${tags.errors}`
)
)
.catch(err => console.error("Something terrible happened: ", err))
Extract the low-resolution thumbnail in path/to/image.jpg
, write it to
path/to/thumbnail.jpg
, and return a Promise<void>
that is fulfilled
when the image is extracted:
exiftool.extractThumbnail("path/to/image.jpg", "path/to/thumbnail.jpg")
Extract the Preview
image (only found in some images):
exiftool.extractPreview("path/to/image.jpg", "path/to/preview.jpg")
Extract the JpgFromRaw
image (found in some RAW images):
exiftool.extractJpgFromRaw("path/to/image.cr2", "path/to/fromRaw.jpg")
Extract the binary value from "tagname" tag in path/to/image.jpg
and write it to dest.bin
(which cannot exist already
and whose parent directory must already exist):
exiftool.extractBinaryTag("tagname", "path/to/file.exf", "path/to/dest.bin")
Note that only a portion of tags are writable. Refer to the documentation and look under the "Writable" column.
If you apply malformed values or ask to write to tags that aren't
supported, the returned Promise
will be rejected.
Only string and numeric primitive are supported as values to the object
Write a comment to the given file so it shows up in the Windows Explorer Properties panel:
exiftool.write("path/to/file.jpg", { XPComment: "this is a test comment" })
Change the DateTimeOriginal, CreateDate and ModifyDate tags (using the AllDates shortcut) to 4:56pm UTC on February 6, 2016:
exiftool.write("path/to/file.jpg", { AllDates: "2016-02-06T16:56:00" })
If you edit a timestamp tag, realize that the difference between the
changed timestamp tag and the GPS value is used by exiftool-vendored
to
infer the timezone.
In other words, if you only edit the CreateDate
and don't edit the GPS
timestamps, your timezone will either be incorrect or missing. See the
section about Dates below for more information.
You may find that some of your images have corrupt metadata, and that writing new dates, or editing the rotation information, for example, fails. ExifTool can try to repair these images by rewriting all the metadata into a new file, along with the original image content. See the documentation for more details about this functionality.
rewriteAllTags
returns a void Promise that will be rejected if there are any
errors.
exiftool.rewriteAllTags("problematic.jpg", "rewritten.jpg")
Remember to call .end()
.
ExifTool processes consume system resources. If you're done with it, turn
it off with .end()
, which returns a Promise<void>
if you want to wait
for the shutdown to be complete.
If you use mocha v4 or later, and you don't call
exiftool.end()
, you will find that your test suite hangs. The relevant
change is described here,
and can be solved by adding an after
block that shuts down the instance
of ExifTool that your tests are using:
after(() => exiftool.end()) // assuming your singleton is called `exiftool`
Generally, EXIF tags encode dates and times with no timezone offset. Presumably the time is captured in local time, but this means parsing the same file in different parts of the world results in a different absolute timestamp for the same file.
Rather than returning a Date which always includes a timezone, this library returns classes that encode the date, the time of day, or both, with an optional tzoffset. It's up to you, then, to do what's right.
In many cases, though, a tzoffset can be determined, either by the composite
TimeZone
tag, or by looking at the difference between the local
DateTimeOriginal
and GPSDateTime
tags. GPSDateTime
is present in most
smartphone images.
If a tzoffset can be determined, it is encoded in all related ExifDateTime
tags for those files.
Note also that some smartphones record timestamps with microsecond precision (not just millis!),
and both ExifDateTime
and ExifTime
have floating point milliseconds.
Official EXIF tag names
are PascalCased, like
AFPointSelected
and ISO
. ("Fixing" the field names to be camelCase, would
result in ungainly aFPointSelected
and iSO
atrocities).
The Tags interface is autogenerated by the mktags
script, which parses through over 6,000 unique camera make and model images, in
large part sourced from the ExifTool site. mktags
groups tags, extracts their
type, popularity, and example values such that your IDE can autocomplete.
For an example of a group of tags, see the EXIFTags interface.
Tags marked with ★★★★, like MIMEType, should be expected in most files. You'll find that very few tags are found in general populations. You'll need to do your own research to determine which tags are valid for your uses.
Note that if parsing fails (for, example, a datetime string), the raw string will be returned. Consuming code should verify both existence and type as reasonable for safety.
The npm run mktags
target reads all tags found in a batch of sample images and
parses the results.
Using exiftool-vendored
:
Read 2236 unique tags from 3011 files.
Parsing took 16191ms (5.4ms / file) # win32, core i7, maxProcs 4
Parsing took 27141ms (9.0ms / file) # ubuntu, core i3, maxProcs 1
Parsing took 12545ms (4.2ms / file) # ubuntu, core i3, maxProcs 4
Using the exiftool
npm package takes 7x longer (and doesn't work on Windows):
Reading 3011 files...
Parsing took 85654ms (28.4ms / file) # ubuntu, core i3
Starting the perl version of ExifTool is expensive, and is especially expensive on the Windows version of ExifTool.
On Windows, for every invocation, exiftool
installs a distribution of
Perl and extracts the ~1000 files that make up ExifTool, and then runs
the perl script. Windows virus scanners prevent reads on these files while they
are scanned, which makes this approach even more costly.
Using ExifTool's -stay_open
batch mode means we can reuse a single
instance of ExifTool across many requests, dropping response latency
dramatically as well as reducing system load.
To avoid overwhelming your system, the exiftool
singleton is configured with a
maxProcs
set to a quarter the number of CPUs on the current system (minimally
1); no more than maxProcs
instances of exiftool
will be spawned. If the
system is CPU constrained, however, you may want a smaller value. If you have
very fast disk IO, you may see a speed increase with larger values of
maxProcs
, but note that each child process can consume 100 MB of RAM.
Providing the flexibility to reversion the API or UPDATE version slots as features or bugfixes arise and using ExifTool's version number is at odds with eachother, so this library follows Semver, and the vendored versions of ExifTool match the version they vendor.

.CreateDate

to
invalid values like 0001:01:01 00:00:00.00
. These values are now returned as

always added the -fast
option. This
read mode omits metadata found after the image payload. This makes reads much
faster, but means that a few tags, like OriginalImageHeight
, may not be
extracted. See https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#performance for more
details.
Cuneytt reported this and I realized I should
make -fast
a user preference. To maintain existing behavior, I've made the
optional second argument of ExifTool.read
default to ["-fast"]
. If you
want to use "slow mode", just give an empty array to the second argument. If
you want -fast2
mode, provide ["-fast2"]
