Ciara to host 2019 American Music Awards; Kesha joins performer lineup
by WABCLOS ANGELES -- The 2019 American Music Awards have a host: Ciara.
The "1, 2 Step" singer has performed at the AMAs in the past, but 2019 will mark her first time hosting the program. Ciara released "Beauty Marks," her seventh studio album, in May.
Dick Clark Productions and ABC also announced Thursday that Kesha will perform during the award show with rapper Big Freedia. There are no details available yet about their AMAs performance, which will come just weeks after the October release of their collaboration "Raising Hell." Kesha is set to release her next album, "High Road," in 2020.
Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa, Lizzo, Billie Eilish, Thomas Rhett and Shania Twain were previously announced as performers. Swift, who will receive the Artist of the Decade award, is set to put on "an unprecedented performance celebrating the biggest hits of her career."
The 2019 American Music Awards will air Sunday, Nov. 24, at 8 p.m. ET/PT | 7 p.m. CT on ABC. Click here to see a full list of 2019 American Music Awards nominees.
Fans can vote for their favorite artists until Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2019, at 11:59:59 p.m. PT by visiting goo.gle/AMAsVote or by going to Google.com and using the search terms "AMAs Vote" or "[Nominee Name] AMAs Vote."

Ïntf Resource
The ïntf resource controls the appearance of the status bar by modifying the position and color of the various status bar elements, as well as changing the status bar background image. Additionally, the use of multiple ïntf resources, along with proper values in the various gövt resources' Interface fields, allows the appearance of status bar to change based on what type of shïp the player is piloting - this is a useless but fairly neat effect.
BrightText Bright text color DimText Dim text color RadarArea Rectangular bounds of the radar display BrightRadar Bright radar pixel color DimRadar Dim radar pixel color (note that having an IFF outfit will override these colors) ShieldArea Rectangular bounds of the shield indicator ShieldColor Shield bar color ArmorArea Rectangular bounds of the armor indicator ArmorColor Armor bar color FuelArea Rectangular bounds of the fuel indicator FuelFull Color of the "full jumps" portion of the fuel indicator FuelPartial Color of the "partial fuel" portion of the fuel indicator NavArea Rectangular bounds of the navigation display WeapArea Rectangular bounds of the weapon display TargArea Rectangular bounds of the target display CargoArea Rectangular bounds of the cargo display StatusFont Font to use for the status bar StatFontSize Normal font size to use SubtitleSize Font size for shïp subtitles StatusBkgnd ID of PICT resource to use as backdrop for status display. Values less than 128 are interpreted as 128. Note that all colors in the ïntf resource are encoded the same as HTML colors, and that vertical shield/armor/fuel bars are properly handled by the game engine - to make an indicator bar vertical, set its height to be greater than its width. Also note that setting any of the above rectangles to have zero area (right=left, top=bottom) will cause the corresponding status indicator to not be drawn.

by Jordan Coussins, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/jordan-coussins/Burglars fled with stolen booze as a store's anti-theft system sent smoke billowing out into the street.
They smashed through the front of the One Stop store in Griffiths Drive, Wolverhampton, at around 2.30am on Monday, November 25.
Pictures from the scene showed smoke billowing from the store and officers at the scene.
It was not known if anything else was taken but police enquires continued, a spokesman for the force confirmed.

apache_beam.pipeline module¶
Pipeline, the top-level Beam object.
A pipeline holds a DAG of data transforms. Conceptually the nodes of the DAG
are transforms (PTransform
objects)
and the edges are values (mostly PCollection
objects). The transforms take as inputs one or more PValues and output one or
more PValue
s.
The pipeline offers functionality to traverse the graph. The actual operation to be executed for each node visited is specified through a runner object.
Typical usage:
# Create a pipeline object using a local runner for execution.
with beam.Pipeline('DirectRunner') as p:
# Add to the pipeline a "Create" transform. When executed this
# transform will produce a PCollection object with the specified values.
pcoll = p | 'Create' >> beam.Create([1, 2, 3])
# Another transform could be applied to pcoll, e.g., writing to a text file.
# For other transforms, refer to transforms/ directory.
pcoll | 'Write' >> beam.io.WriteToText('./output')
# run() will execute the DAG stored in the pipeline. The execution of the
# nodes visited is done using the specified local runner.
-
class
apache_beam.pipeline.
 If same transform instance needs to be applied then the right shift operator should be used to designate new names (e.g.
input | "label" >> my_tranform
).Initialize a pipeline object.
Parameters: - runner (PipelineRunner) – An object of
type
PipelineRunner
that will be used to execute the pipeline. For registered runners, the runner name can be specified, otherwise a runner object must be supplied. - options (PipelineOptions) – A configured
PipelineOptions
object containing arguments that should be used for running the Beam job. - argv (List[str]) – a list of arguments (such as
sys.argv
) to be used for building aPipelineOptions
object. This will only be used if argument options isNone
.
Raises: ValueError
– if either the runner or options argument is not of the expected type.-

¶
-
replace_all
(replacements)[source]¶ Dynamically replaces PTransforms in the currently populated hierarchy.
Currently this only works for replacements where input and output types are exactly the same.
TODO: Update this to also work for transform overrides where input and output types are different.
Parameters: replacements (List[PTransformOverride]) – a list of PTransformOverride
objects.
-
run
(test_runner_api=True)[source]¶ Runs the pipeline. Returns whatever our runner returns after running.
-
visit
(visitor)[source]¶ Visits depth-first every node of a pipeline’s DAG.
Runner-internal implementation detail; no backwards-compatibility guarantees
Parameters: visitor (PipelineVisitor) –
PipelineVisitor
object whose callbacks will be called for each node visited. SeePipelineVisitor
comments.Raises: TypeError
– if node is specified and is not aPValue
.PipelineError
– if node is specified and does not belong to this pipeline instance.
-
apply
(transform, pvalueish=None, label=None)[source]¶ Applies a custom transform using the pvalueish specified.
Parameters: - transform (PTransform) – the
PTransform
to apply. - pvalueish (PCollection) – the input for the
PTransform
(typically aPCollection
). - label (str) – label of the
PTransform
.
Raises: TypeError
– if the transform object extracted from the argument list is not aPTransform
.RuntimeError
– if the transform object was already applied to this pipeline and needs to be cloned in order to apply again.
- transform (PTransform) – the
- runner (PipelineRunner) – An object of
type
-
class
apache_beam.pipeline.
PTransformOverride
[source]¶ Bases:
object
For internal use only; no backwards-compatibility guarantees.
Gives a matcher and replacements for matching PTransforms.
TODO: Update this to support cases where input and/our output types are different.


Warning
The 0.24.x series of releases will be the last to support Python 2. Future feature releases will support Python 3 only. See Dropping Python 2.7 for more.
These are the changes in pandas 0.24.1. See Release Notes for a full changelog including other versions of pandas. See What’s new in 0.24.0 (January 25, 2019) for the 0.24.0 changelog.
sort
Index
The default sort value for Index.union() has changed from True to None (GH24959). The default behavior, however, remains the same: the result is sorted, unless
Index.union()
True
None
self and other are identical
self
other
self or other is empty
self or other contain values that can not be compared (a RuntimeWarning is raised).
RuntimeWarning
This change will allow sort=True to mean “always sort” in a future release.
sort=True
The same change applies to Index.difference() and Index.symmetric_difference(), which would not sort the result when the values could not be compared.
Index.difference()
Index.symmetric_difference()
The sort option for Index.intersection() has changed in three ways.
Index.intersection()
The default has changed from True to False, to restore the pandas 0.23.4 and earlier behavior of not sorting by default.
False
The behavior of sort=True can now be obtained with sort=None. This will sort the result only if the values in self and other are not identical.
sort=None
The value sort=True is no longer allowed. A future version of pandas will properly support sort=True meaning “always sort”.
Fixed regression in DataFrame.to_dict() with records orient raising an AttributeError when the DataFrame contained more than 255 columns, or wrongly converting column names that were not valid python identifiers (GH24939, GH24940).
DataFrame.to_dict()

Fixed regression in Index.intersection incorrectly sorting the values by default (GH24959).
Index.intersection
Fixed regression in merge() when merging an empty DataFrame with multiple timezone-aware columns on one of the timezone-aware columns (GH25014).
merge()
Fixed regression in Series.rename_axis() and DataFrame.rename_axis() where passing None failed to remove the axis name (GH25034)
Series.rename_axis()
DataFrame.rename_axis()
Fixed regression in to_timedelta() with box=False incorrectly returning a datetime64 object instead of a timedelta64 object (GH24961)
to_timedelta()

BREAKING Liverpool confirm Carabao Cup plans amid FIFA Club World Cup fixture chaos
Liverpool considered withdrawing from the Carabao Cup as they face fixture congestion chaos due to the FIFA Club World Cup
by Rich Jones, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/rich-jones/Liverpool have confirmed they will play two separate teams in fixtures 24 hours apart in different continents next month.
They are due to take on Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on December 17 but also face their FIFA Club World Cup semi-final in Qatar on December 18.
Jurgen Klopp revealed after knocking out Arsenal on penalties that the club were considering withdrawing from the Carabao Cup as a solution to their fixture chaos.
But they have now announced plans to send separate squads to the two games in order to ensure they can complete their allocated fixtures in both competitions.
A club statement read: " Liverpool Football Club can confirm our Carabao Cup quarter-final tie at Aston Villa will take place on Tuesday December 17, 2019.
"As a result, we will be utilising two playing squads simultaneously, with one squad participating in the FIFA Club World Cup in Qatar and another in the Carabao Cup.
"The club would like to take this opportunity to underline that while this is not an ideal scenario, it is an outcome which was arrived at with the best interests of the competition, our fellow clubs and ourselves as the sole motivating factor.
"We would like to thank the EFL for their efforts to accommodate us and we can confirm alternative dates were discussed, but ultimately none were considered suitable without compromising the scheduling of the competition itself or placing an undue strain on our playing staff."
More to follow.


MAXIMUM RISK
A film review by Michael Dequina
Copyright 1996 Michael Dequina
(R) ** (out of ****)
The latest vehicle for the Muscles from Brussels, Jean-Claude Van Damme, is as nondescript as the tacked-on title (the film was originally titled the more appropriate, though less slam-bang, The Exchange), fairly devoid of any distinct personality that would set it apart from other action flicks.
The film starts off promisingly enough, with Van Damme being bumped off within the first five minutes, after a well-staged and edited chase. Unfortunately for acting scholars everywhere, good ol' Jean-Claude resurfaces as the twin of the dead J-C, and he heads off to New York to investigate the murder and the life of the brother he never knew he had. Needless to say, said brother was involved with some shady characters--the Russian Mafia--and he soon finds himself running for his life with his brother's lover (Natasha Henstridge, reduced to playing a typical action movie "girl" after her maneating turn in Species) in tow.
Like 1993's Hard Target, Maximum Risk marks the American debut of a celebrated Hong Kong action director--in this case, Ringo Lam, famous for his On Fire trilogy. Unfortunately, Lam isn't able to energize the miniscule goods delivered by Larry Ferguson's tired, unexciting script. Lam's visual style is a lot grittier and less flashy than John Woo's (the flashiest bit is a shot that follows the path of a bullet), and thus the script's flaws aren't concealed too well. He does, however, competently stage what brief snatches of action there are, though none of it is especially exciting. Van Damme also comes off slightly worse than usual, appearing quite stiff, which is likely Lam's inadvertent doing. In his Hong Kong work, he usually coaxes understated performances from capable actors such as Chow Yun-Fat; Van Damme, on the other hand, isn't much of an actor, and as such his attempted "subtlety" comes off as just plain wooden.
As junky as Hard Target was, its flash was enough for Hollywood to take notice of John Woo. I'm not so sure how Hollywood will treat Ringo Lam. He's a talented filmmaker, but without Woo's stylistic flair and a Van Damme vehicle worse than Hard Target under his belt, his future Tinseltown prospects, unfortunately, don't look too bright.

Hi, My name is Tiffany and I am a senior in high school. I am a dancer and a game designer. My favorite TV show are Criminal Minds, American Horror Story, Scream, Project Runway, Guilt, Dance Moms, The Fosters, and America's Next Top Model. I am not an early bird but on some occasions, I will wake up early. My favorite article of clothing
are shoes. My pet peeve is when someone steps on my white shoes on the first day I got them. Creativity revolves around my life.The software that was used is called Game Maker. It does not work on OS software unless system prefences allows it. Preferences are edited to fit functions. The Game was created by the help of my friends That I met at NYU. This game might have some glitiches. It depends on the software version.

A paragraph of placeholder text. We're using it here to show the use of the clearfix class. We're adding quite a few meaningless phrases here to demonstrate how the columns interact here with the floated image.
As you can see the paragraphs gracefully wrap around the floated image. Now imagine how this would look with some actual content in here, rather than just this boring placeholder text that goes on and on, but actually conveys no tangible information at. It simply takes up space and should not really be read.
And yet, here you are, still persevering in reading this placeholder text, hoping for some more insights, or some hidden easter egg of content. A joke, perhaps. Unfortunately, there's none of that here.

Issue: AREF-1DReferences: Arrays (pp286-298)

Problem Description:
It's hard to write functions like Maclisp's LISTARRAY and FILLARRAY efficiently
in Common Lisp because they take arguments of varying rank. Currently, you have
to make a displaced array to work with temporarily and then throw away the
displaced array when you're done. In many cases, this is bothersome because
there is no a priori reason why they should have to cons at all.
Proposal (AREF-1D:ROW-MAJOR-AREF):
Introduce a new function ROW-MAJOR-AREF that allows one-dimensional access to
the storage backing up a given array assuming the normal row-major storage
layout.
ROW-MAJOR-AREF is valid for use with SETF.
row-major-aref array index [Function]
This accesses and returns the element of array specified by index when the
elements of array are considered in row-major order. Array may be an array of
any dimensionality. row-major-aref may be used with setf. For reference, the
following sets of expressions are equivalent:
(row-major-aref array index) ==
(aref (make-array (array-total-size array)
:displaced-to array
:element-type (array-element-type array))
index)
and
(aref array .. subscripts ..) ==
(row-major-aref array (array-row-major-index array .. subscripts ..))
Rationale:
Common Lisp requires row-major storage layout of arrays and has a number of
operators that allow users to exploit that order. ROW-MAJOR-AREF is a useful,
simple addition.
LISTARRAY and FILLARRAY, for example, could be trivially defined by loops that
had the following form:
(DOTIMES (I (ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE ARRAY))
... (ROW-MAJOR-AREF ARRAY I) ...)
Currently, the only really efficient way to write this would involve something
like:
(ECASE (ARRAY-RANK ARRAY1)
((0) (SETF (AREF ARRAY1) (AREF ARRAY2)))
((1) (DOTIMES (I (ARRAY-DIMENSION ARRAY 0))
(SETF (AREF ARRAY1 I) (AREF ARRAY2 I))))
((2) (DOTIMES (I (ARRAY-DIMENSION ARRAY 0))
(DOTIMES (I (ARRAY-DIMENSION ARRAY 1))
(SETF (AREF ARRAY1 I J) (AREF ARRAY2 I J)))))
...some finite number of clauses...)
Current Practice:
Many implementations have this primitive under some other name for use
internally. In Symbolics systems, for example, it is SYS:%1D-AREF.
Adoption Cost:
This change is fairly localized. In implementations that already use this
primitive internally, it's little more than a matter of changing the name of or
otherwise releasing the existing primitive. In some implementations, it might
involve writing a small amount of code or compiler work to make ROW-MAJOR-AREF
work efficiently.
Benefits:
This gives users efficient access to something to which they already have
inefficient access.
Conversion Cost:
This is an upward-compatible change; the name ROW-MAJOR-AREF is unlikely to be
used by any current program.
Aesthetics:
This allows certain programs to be written in a more aesthetic way.
Discussion:
This issue was conditionally passed at X3J13/June 1987, pending clarification of
some details. Those clarifications have been made in this version.

I am a constant user of the 2c chemicals
honestly they are my favorites
I have tested most of them thru friends and some orders I have made personally online
but 2cp was something I was not prepared for
we took the chemical around 9:30 ingesting maybe 10 mg each
withing 45 minutes all of us feeling the effects
intense body buzz almost as erotic as 2cb but the visuals were so intense they over powered my attention to the body high
feeling ballsy I take another 5 to 7 mg on the tounge as well does my good friend
this is when things ran rampant, we decided to change location due to the police being very active in that area and who would wanna face the police on such a strong chemical,so we move to a park nearby, *I do not condone driving on any mind altering substance*
the car looks almost futuristic and as we drive I notice it feels as if were not even moving,
*this is all within 3 hours of the trip, remembering this trip is 20 hours long*
we arrive to the park and I find myself rushed with energy almost explosive,
we found a bench placed very up high on a large hill that is where we set up all of our things my cellphone seeming fake I turned it off, contact with the outer world seemed impossible, all us now sitting around each other like a camp fire explaining the things we see and feel, every one at a +3
*15 hours in*
the last hours just filled with conversation and running around the park yelling and acting like children and fully enjoying my trip
when one of the people I was tripping with began to freak out saying that the park had an evil undertone, she had to be carried out of the park, and sedated with strong xanax due to her
wild antics
everyone still at a plus 3 after that mess
come down was comftorble and none the less smooth smoked some hash and just
relaxed
hoenstly very intense not for the weak minded after this experiance a good friend of mine, my fiance and my cousin have been hospitalized because of this chemical be warned

Survey Code: {{code}}
PLEASE COMPLETE AT MOST ONE {{code}} SURVEY. YOU WILL NOT BE PAID FOR COMPLETING MORE THAN ONE SURVEY WITH THIS CODE.
This questionnaire presents {{total_number}} English sentences. Your task is to compare these sentences to the following example sentence:
Which man did you wonder when to meet?
This sentence has been arbitrarily assigned the score 100. For each of the following sentences in this study, your task is to assign it a score relative to the sentence above. You might not be utterring these sentences by yourself, but you might nevertheless have an intuition as to how natural they sound. If the sentence you are reading sounds better than the first one, give it a higher score; if it's worse, give it a lower score. Make the score proportional to how much better or worse the sentence is than the original—if it's twice as good, make the score 200; if it's 1/3 as good, give it a score of 33. Here is an example:
What did you have for dinner last night?
In the above example, it is very clear that the sentence is natural, so please give it a higher score than the original sentence.
Here is another example:
When did that you went to bed surprise Mary?
In this case you would probably feel that the sentence is unnatural. Please give it a lower score than the original sentence.
In order to get paid, please make sure that you answer all {{total_number}} questions.
Consent Statement: ...

Lets consider some fundamentally different technical approaches

Because partial rendering and UI animations provide a

// the server-rendered markup & just attach event handlers
React.renderComponent(< HelloMessage name="John" />, mountNode);

Amazon game streaming service allegedly launching in 2020
by Steve WrightIntegrated with Twitch and running off Amazon's AWS cloud service.
An Amazon game streaming service will be intertwined with Twitch and will launch in 2020, a new report suggests.
An initial report from The Information has been supported by a new report from CNET which suggests that amazon will announce the streaming service ahead of launch next year.
The report furthers that Amazon’s AWS cloud service will power the streaming service, and that it will be integrated with Twitch like Google’s Stadia service is with YouTube.
The reports also reference Amazon’s own admissions that it is working on a streaming service.
“We believe the evolution that began with arcade communities a quarter at a time, growing to the live streams and e-sports of today, will continue to a future where everyone is a gamer and every gamer can create, compete, collaborate and connect with others at massive scales,” one Amazon job posting this month read.
We’ll have more on Amazon’s game streaming service as news becomes available.

HaikuPorts is a centralized collection of software ported to the Haiku platform. The main goal of this site is to facilitate cooperation towards porting efforts.
The HaikuPorter tool is provided to ease the fetching, patching and building of source code. It can be compared to a slim version of Gentoo Portage. Each port contains the Haiku-specific patches to the original source code. It fetches the original source code, applies the Haiku-specific patches, builds, and packages the port in a format suitable for Haiku's package manager.
The entry point for working with haikuporter and the ports is the haiku ports wiki. Additional support is available through the mailing list.


Visual Exploration: A Century of Baseball
A story written in data
Since the advent of the scorecard in the 1870’s the game of baseball has forever been tied to statistics.
Keeping score was a way for fans and enthusiasts to relive the game by paying attention to each and every event on the field.
As technology progressed and stats were posted on the jumbotron for the entire ballpark to see, manual score-keeping gradually lost popularity,
but the marriage between statistics and baseball was solidified forever.
Analysis of baseball statistics has been performed by team owners, managers
and fans since the 1940’s to gain an edge on the competition. With the rise of Sabermetrics and
the Oakland A’s historic season in the early 2000's,
the collection and analysis of baseball statistics took on a whole new meaning: smaller, underfunded teams could take on the established powerhouses by
the careful and nuanced application of empirical analysis. Fast forward to 2020 and every single team has a robust analytics department that plays a major
role in the teams overall strategy, as well as day to day game planning.
In this project we analyzed the changes in a few key batting and pitching metrics and visualized these changes over time.
To do this, we used Pandas to web-scrape Baseball Reference's
historical data for several key batting and pitching metrics.
Once the data was extracted and transformed, we loaded it into a PostgreSQL relational database.
We then used Flask to serve the connection between our database and visualizations. Our interactive visualizations were made using Charts.js and D3.js.
The dynamic visualizations we created give us a good picture of the ever changing game of baseball from a statistical perspective. Explore our vizualizations by clicking through the navigation bar on the left side of the page.
Refer to Considerations to see our breakdown on why we think these changes happened.
Special thanks to the team at Creative Tim for
providing the Bootstrap framework for our dashboard.


This software provides tools for quantitative trait mapping in populations such as advanced intercross lines where relatedness among individuals should not be ignored. It can estimate background genetic variance components, impute missing genotypes, simulate genotypes, perform a genome scan for putative quantitative trait loci (QTL), and plot mapping results. It also has functions to calculate identity coefficients from pedigrees, especially suitable for pedigrees that consist of a large number of generations, or estimate identity coefficients from genotypic data in certain circumstances.

We created a basic HTML webpage with all of these tags: h, p, ul, and li.
We created an HTML webpage that tells you how to say goodbye in other languages.
We created a Cookie recipe webpage where we added links to other websites and images.
We created our first webpage that has images and links, also we used CSS to learn how to style a webpage.
We created a dog blog webpage that shows my 3 favorite dogs, includes images and links with some minimum styling.
We created a Maui Beach Resort webpage that has links to multiple webpages such as, accomodations, contact information, pictures, and activities. also added some CSS.
We created a Webpage for Betty's Cupcake Shop where we used CSS to style different classes and id's. Also added links and images.
We created a webpage that has divs with classes so we can change the styles of the of the tag with a class.
We created a blog where we styled the divs differently with different classes.
We created a webpage about my favorite band The Red Hot Chili Peppers. We styled the page by div classes, and also added margins, padding, and a border to our image.
We created a webpage called Betty's Animal Shelter that shows which animals they have available for adoption. We styled the page by adding a banner of the logo at the top, we also added margins, padding, and borders to all images.
We created a webpage that used a new style called bootstrap to add container to our page and allow us to input rows and columns.
We created a Wikipedia replica. That uses bootstrap to add containers, rows, and columns

Then the image-decoder-framework.js API should be used. This API allows you using webjpip.js with Leaflet, Cesium, Arbirary viewer or simply decode regions programmatically. For example, here is the code-behind of the above demo:
Render pixels to canvas
Just like any other image that implements image-decoder-framework.js API, The JPIP image can be used in various services provided by image-decoder-framwork library, like showing the image in Cesium or Programmatically get the pixels of the image. Here is an example of how to render the image into canvas:
| minX: | maxX: | ||
| minY: | maxY: | ||
| screen width: | screen height: | ||
| URL: |
Progressiveness / Quality layers
In webjpip.js API, progressiveness means the stages that are taken until showing the image. Those stages are based mainly on j2k features like quality layers and resolution levels. For example, for viewing purpose it may be good to fetch all data from the server but showing minimal quality data as quick as possible (when low quality layer recieved). In scenarios of image processing we may want to cancel those middle stages of lower quality, and in limitted bandwidth scenario we may want to limit fetching only single quality layer. webjpip.js provides interface to control this behavior.
JpipImage has some methods to control progressiveness: nonProgressive, autoProgressive and customProgressive. Calling to such method returns a new instance of JpipImage (and not changing the progressiveness state of the original image!) that behaves as requested.
A performance note: Using some instances created from same image (by the progressiveness methods) in parallel is not fully optimized. Decoding resources (memory + processing) is not shared between those instances. However using some instances of same image is better than using some separate images that created by same URL because the raw data recieved from the server (before decoding) is shared between image instances that were created from same root image.
Following is a simple example for showing an image with no progressiveness, with quality fixed on the minimal quality layer:
And here's an example for custom controlling on progressiveness when showing on canvas:
As demonstrated, progressiveness can provide control to create reacher application with JPIP. Followed is an example that show the use of nonProgressive to control the shown quality by applicative slider:

Cats do not think that they are little people. They think that we are big cats.
Cat Names
- A cat is a member of the family Felidae.
- A group of kittens is called a "kindle."
- A group of grown cats is called a "clowder."
- There is no single cat called the panther. The name is commonly applied to the leopard, puma and the jaguar.
Cat's Eyes
- A cat cannot see directly under its nose.
- A cat is partially color blind.
They have the equivalency of human red/green color blindness.
(Reds appear green and greens appear red; or shades thereof.)
- A cat does not see "detail" very well.
To them, their person may appear hazy when standing in front of them.
- A cat can see up to 120 feet away.
Their peripheral vision is about 285 degrees.
- A cat needs 1/6th the amount of light that humans do to see.
Their night vision is amazing!
Cat's Facts
-
Domestic cats are essentially loners. When placed in a group, they develop their own hierarchy. As long as there is plenty of food on hand, a cat can learn to share it's domain with other cats.
-
Unlike humans and dogs, cats do not suffer a lot from loneliness. It is a mistake to project our social feelings onto our cats. They are social to a degree, but they are far more concerned with territorial issues than we can even imagine.
-
Cats in the US are said to have 9 lives whereas in Germany and southern Europe they only have 7 lives and the poor cats in Arabian countries are even only said to have 6 lives.

To write good HTML code, it is important to understand structure. Structure elements allow you to organize the main parts of your page.
When writing HTML content like paragraphs, lists or links, you provide meaning to your text. But you might want to group some of these elements together.
For example, a simple web page can be divided in parts:
These parts are defined with the following tags:
The header is usually the first HTML element in the code. Use it to add images, text, and links you want at the top of the web page.

A cool website

The main element contains, as its name suggests, the most important content of the page, the one that defines the purpose of the page. While most webpages of a website contain common elements (like the header, the navigation, the footer), the main element focuses on unique content.
There are 6 levels of headings available, ranging from
 to
, 1 being the most important one.
Headings are used to create a natural structure to your document.
Only using headings in a HTML document would not make sense: if everything feels important, nothing really is. You need to provide depth in your structure.
The footer is usually the last element of a page, where the main navigation links are repeated and secondary ones added.

THE BUTCHER BOY
Born and raised with two strikes against him, Francie Brady (Eamonn Owens), with a drunk for a father, Benny (Stephen Rea), and a mother, (Aisling O'Sullivan) slowly going mad because of that and their abject poverty, the one thing Francie needs but is denied him is understanding and love. The consequences of being shunned are horrendous.
Based on the novel by Patrick McCabe and beautifully directed by Neil Jordan whom we all remember from The Crying Game, the film is taut, tense with our knowledge that there can be no happy ending for young Francie.
Francie's only friend is Joe (Alan Boyle) who together enjoy a world of comic books and imaginative play. Later, even Joe opts for friends who are more stable, leaving Francie further alone and devastated. One of his biggest enemies is the gossip, Mrs. Nugent (Fiona Shaw) who takes a great dislike to Francie, blaming him for all the troubles he experiences.
When Francie returns from reform school, he finds employment in a slaughterhouse, (hence, the film's title) hardly the right place for a pre-teen, especially one with Francie's problems and disposition. Perhaps the last place where he should be working is where animals are hacked up and blood is all over the place.
Both his parents die. Despite his having had nothing to do with either, having received nothing from them, he is further alienated. He latches onto an imaginary Virgin Mary icon (Sinead O'Connor) who "talks" with him. However, eventually all of these hardship descend upon the child and he explodes in a rage of violence.
Despite the seriousness of the subject, there are, surprisingly, moments of laughter. As Shakespeare well knew, you don't keep everyone on edge without relieving the tension every now and then.
I have one caveat: the movie should have subtitles. I've said it before of other films made in Great Britain. In particular, this film is laid in a small out of the way village and the accents are rough on the ears. Despite being able easily to follow the story without understanding every spoken word, I felt I was missing something by not hearing everything uttered. When are those in charge going to realize that some English-speaking films do require subtitles?

Plugin Information |
|---|
View batch task on the plugin site for more information. |
This plugin adds batch tasks that are not regularly executed to projects, such as releases, integration, archiving, etc. In this way, anyone in the project team can execute them in a way that leaves a record.
Usage
When you install this plugin, your project configuration page gets additional "batch tasks" option as illustrated below:
A batch task consists of a shell script and a name. When you execute a build, the shell script gets run on the workspace, just like a build. Batch tasks and builds "lock" the workspace, so when one of those activities is in progress, all the others will block in the queue.
Once a task is configured, the project top page gets "task(s)" link, as illustrated below:
If you click that, you can see the status of all the tasks. You can schedule the execution of a task from here, too. Task executions are numbered like "123-456" where 123 portion refers to the latest build and 456 portion refers to the sequential number (so that you can execute a task multiple times with the same build.) The build number portion is significant because when a batch task runs, it sees the workspace as of the result of this build.
The details of the task execution and its console output are available by further clicking a task of the interest, as below:

Automated Empirical Optimisation of Parameters in Owl¶
by Jianxin Zhao
Recent research on parameter tuning mostly focus on hyper-parameter tuning, such as optimising the parameters of stochastic gradient in machine learning applications. However, tuning code and parameters in low-level numerical libraries is of the same importance. For example, ATLAS and the recent Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) are both software libraries of optimised math routines for science and engineering computation. They are widely used in many popular high-level platforms such as Matlab and TensorFlow. One of the reasons these libraries can provide optimal performance is that they have adopted the paradigm of Automated Empirical Optimisation of Software, or AEOS. That is, a library chooses the best method and parameter to use on a given platform to do a required operation. One highly optimised routine may run much faster than a naively coded one. Naturally, optimised code is usually platform- and hardware-specific. An optimised routine on one machine usually performs bad on the other.
Though Owl currently does not plan to improve the low-level libraries it depends on, as an initial endeavour to apply the AEOS paradigm in Owl, one ideal tuning point is the parameters of OpenMP used in Owl.
Use OpenMP to boost computation¶
Currently many computers contain shared memory multiprocessors. OpenMP is an application programming interface that supports multi-platform shared memory multiprocessing programming in C or Fortran, supported on a plethora of hardware and software platforms. It is used in key operations in libraries such as Eigen and MKL. Owl has also utilised OpenMP on many math operations to boost their performance by threading calculation.
For example, the figure below shows that when we apply the \(sin\) function on a N-Dimensional Array (ndarray) in Owl, on a 4-core CPU MacBook, the OpenMP version only takes about a third of the execution time compared with the non-OpenMP version.
However, as is often the case, performance improvement does not come for free. Overhead of using OpenMP comes from time spent on scheduling chunks of work to each thread, managing locks on critical sections, and startup time of creating threads, etc. Therefore, when the input ndarray is small enough, these overheads might overtake the benefit of threading. Now the question is, what is a suitable input size to use OpenMP?
Why simple solution does not work¶
This question would be easy to solve if there is one single suitable input size threshold for every operation. Alas, that’s not the case. Let’s do a small experiment. We compare the performance of two operations, \(abs\) (calculate absolute value) and \(sin\), in three cases: running them without using OpenMP, with 2 threads OpenMP, and with 4 threads OpenMP.
The result shows that, with growing input size, for \(sin\) operation, the OpenMP version outperforms the non-OpenMP version at a size of less than 1000, but for \(abs\) operation, that crosspoint is at about 1,000,000. The complexity of math operations varies greatly, and the difference is even starker when compare their performance on different machines.
This issue becomes more complex when considered in real applications. We know that even advanced computation such as training and inference of neural networks can be seen as a computation graph, each node being basic math operations such as \(conv\), \(dot\), \(sigmoid\), \(uniform\), etc. In a computation graph, we need to deal with operations of vastly different complexity and input sizes. Thus one fixed threshold for several operations is not an ideal solution.
Considering these factors, we need a fine-grained method to decide a suitable threshold for each operation.
Implementation¶
Towards this end, we implement the AEOS module. The idea is to add a tuning phase before compiling and installing Owl, so that each operation learns a suitable threshold parameter to decide if OpenMP should be used or not, depending on input size.
The key idea of parameter tuning is simple. We implement two versions of each operation, one using OpenMP and the other not. We then measure their execution time for various sizes of input. Each measurement is repeated multiple times, and to reduce the effect of outliers, only the values that are within first and third percentiles are used. After removing outliers, regression is performed to find a suitable input size threshold. According to our initial experiment, linear regression is fit to estimate the OpenMP parameters here.
Since this tuning phase is executed before compiling Owl, the AEOS module is made independent of Owl, and all the necessary implementation are coded separately to ensure that future changes of Owl do not affect the AEOS module itself.
The tuned parameters then need to be passed to Owl. When the OpenMP switch is turned on, the AEOS module generates a C header file which contains the definition of macros, each of which defines a threshold for one operation. When this header file is not generated, pre-defined default macro values are used instead. After that, Owl is compiled with this header file and uses these tuned parameters in its math operations. The tuning phase only needs to be performed once on each machine.
The design of the AEOS module focuses on keeping tuning simple, effective, and flexible. Each operation is implemented as a single OCaml module, so that support for new operations can be easily added. The interface of a module is shown as below:
module Sin = struct
type t = {
mutable name : string;
mutable param : string;
mutable value : int;
mutable input : int array array;
mutable y : float array
}
(** Tuner type definition. *)
val make : unit -> t
(** Create the tuner. *)
val tune : t -> unit
(** Tuning process. *)
val save_data : t -> unit
(** Save tuned data to csv file for later analysis. *)
val to_string : t -> string
(** Convert the tuned parameter(s) to string to be written on file *)
end
We expect that tuning does not have to be only about OpenMP parameters, and that different regression methods could be used in the future. For example, the Theil–Sen estimator can be plugged in for parameter estimation if necessary. In each module, arbitrary tuning procedures can be plugged in as long as the interface is satisfied.
The AEOS module is implemented in such way that brings little interference to the main Owl library. Code can be viewed in this pull request, and has been merged into the main branch of Owl. You only need to switch the ENABLE_OPENMP flag from \(0\) to \(1\) in the dune file to try this feature.
Evaluation¶
To evaluate the performance of tuned OpenMP thresholds, we need a metric to compare them. One metric to compare two thresholds is proposed as below. We generate a series of ndarrays, whose sizes grow by certain steps until they reach a given maximum number, e.g. 1,000,000 used in the experiment below. Note that only input sizes that fall between these two thresholds are chosen to be used. We then calculate the performance improvement ratio of the OpenMP version function over the non-OpenMP version on these chosen ndarrays. The ratios are added up, and then amortised by the total number of ndarrays. Hereafter we use this averaged ratio as performance metric.
Platform \(tan\) \(sqrt\) \(sin\) \(exp\) \(sigmoid\) MacBook 1632 max_int 1294 123 1880 Raspberry Pi 1189 209 41 0 0
This table presents the tuned threshold values of a five operations on a MacBook with a 1.1GHz Intel Core m3 CPU and a Raspberry Pi 3B. We can see that they vary across different operations and different machines, depending on their computation complexity. For example, on MacBook, the tuning result is “max_int”, which means that for the relatively simple \(sqrt\) calculation OpenMP should not be used, but that’s not the case on Raspberry Pi. Also, we note that the less powerful Raspberry Pi tends to get lower thresholds.
We then evaluate the performance improvement after applying AEOS. We compare each generated parameter with 30 random generated thresholds. These measured average ratios are then presented as a box plot, as shown in the figure above.
It can be observed that in general more than 20% average performance improvement can be expected on the MacBook. The result on Raspberry Pi shows a larger deviation but also a higher performance gain (about 30% on average). One reason of this difference could be that a suitable threshold on Raspberry Pi tends to be smaller, leading to a larger probability to outperform a randomly generated value. Note that we cannot proclaim that the tuned parameters are always optimal, since the figure shows that in some rare cases where the improvement percentages are minus, the randomly found values indeed perform better. Also, the result seems to suggest that AEOS can provide a certain bound, albeit a loose one, on the performance improvement, regardless of the type of operation. These interesting issues requires further investigation.
What’s next?¶
As said above, this is an initial effort to apply the AEOS paradigm in Owl. Though the result looks promising, there still exists many interesting questions to further explore. For example, analysis on single operation should be extended to practical applications. Different regression methods could also be applied. More operations that require tuning more than just OpenMP parameters could be included. In evaluation, besides performance, stability of the generated parameters might also need to be considered to give a full picture in evaluation.

Another day, another moan? It's just a comment really...
The 'Search Everywhere' and 'Search Internet' Window Vista option seem a bit... 'weird'.
Everywhere seems to exclude the Internet, commonly seen as 'everything everywhere'. Instead, Everywhere seems to be 'indexed locations' only. And... Microsoft strongly recommends against indexing the entirety of a pc, and instead advises to focus on the user's individual folders (e.g. Documents, Pictures and the likes) ... Basically, 'Search Everywhere' in Vista is roughly the same as 'Search My Documents'! ;-)
I've made up my mind, also on Vista, Google Desktop will be my first point of call...


N.O.W. @nowmozillaclub
Not the movie, but rather the start of something amalgamated from an idea. Add three more like-minded individuals in the mix, and here we are! N.O.W. was started in our junior year by the four of us, now in our senior years. Oh, how time flies.

Errata
Figure 3: N/(2 sigma2) should just be N/sigma2.
Equation (17), left-hand side: Factor of 1/2
should be removed.

Sec 3f, last paragraph: Plugging N=506, dt=1/4yr, s0=2dt, and dj=0.125
into Eqn (10) actually gives J=64, not J=56 as stated in the text.
However, in Figure 1b, the scales are only plotted
out to J=56 since the power is so low at larger scales.

Random Forest Model Description
We are using multivariant Regression with a Random Forest Algorithm implemented in sklear to predict the score of a match based on historical performance of the two teams.
Features used [3 Variants - Short(10)|Mid(30)|Long(50)]:
- Goals scored(Team1/Team2)
- Goals conceded(Team1/Team2)
- Goal difference
- Winpercentage total(Team1/Team2)
- Winpercentage against opponent (if available)
Power Ranking
- Using a Feed Forward Neural Network to predict the influence of Players on the Performance of the Team
- Applying multiple PowerRankings of the qualified Teams
- Applying betting odds
Simulating the Tournament
- Running a Monte Carlo Simulation of the official Schedule (10000 times)
- Draw allowed in Group Stage - In Eleimination ROund we roll the Dice because we are missing penalty Data

Tap the Mail icon. You should see both your personal email account (if configured) and your OpenNet email account.
You can compose, send, reply, forward, flag, search, and delete emails. You can also move emails to sub-folders if they are already set up. The app is integrated with the Contacts app so that when you compose a new OpenNet email, OpenNet contacts will be included as suggestions when you begin typing in the name of the person you wish to send to. As long as you compose the email from your OpenNet account, it will be sent from your OpenNet email address and reflect properly in the OpenNet email system on your other devices and computers.
