Q: How to set player specific spawn points in Minecraft? (PC edition, of course) More specifically:
I don't want everyone spawning at the same place, I want it to not need to know who's playing (so "spawnpoint playername x y z" won't do it).
I guess I'm thinking that when people log into the game
it senses this person logged in first, they are player1, the second to log on is player2, etc.
Thus it would spawn people in respective spawn points:
spawnpoint player1   -100 10 -100
spawnpoint player2    100 10 100
spawnpoint player3    100 10 -100
spawnpoint player4   -100 10 100

The map i'm making should spawn each player in separate places, while part of the goal is to meet in the middle.
Also, if it matters, the game is for 4 people only, no more no less. Players can't leave spawn points until each has signaled he/she is ready. so somehow I need to set up a ready count of 4 to let the game begin.

A: Setup a central Lobby where all players will spawn as usual (/setworldspawn)- they will be all in one room.
This room will need to have 4 pressure plates (best to be separate so every player will be alone on it and others will not be near him). You then need to connect redstone from those plates so it will do AND gate - if all 4 plates will be triggered, the redstone signal will go toward commandblocks (HINT: Use inverted redstone torches -> another torch). Then you need 4x2 commandblocks with the teleport/spawnpoin commands:
/spawnpoint @p[x=X,y=Y,z=Z,r=2] -100 10 -100
/tp @p[x=X,y=Y,z=Z,r=2 -100 10 -100

Where X,Y,Z are coords of the pressure plate. Be sure /spawnpoint executes BEFORE /tp. You will need those two commands for each player, so total of 8 commands.


Powerful and sophisticated field services tools have changed the way the service industry measures key performance indicators critical for success. If your service organization is trying to make decisions based on traditional metrics and guess work, it's time to change to an analytics-based, predictive model so you can make better-informed, data driven decisions.
How these tools have changed the face of field services metrics is directly tied to the ability to capture the "heartbeats" and characteristics of every task. Depending on the specific implementation of a field services solution, it's now possible to capture discrete heartbeats that timestamp when a task is; dispatched, assigned, on route, on site and completed. In some industries, in more sophisticated implementations, it's possible to further capture heartbeats around movement and distribution of material and to capture heartbeats from test systems which can be used to predict approximate time of resolution which greatly helps with optimization and distribution of work.
With these technology enabled data points it is now possible to consider adding travel time, utilization, and non-productive or idle time. Travel time is the time between going on route and arriving on site, Utilization is the time between on site and complete and non-productive time is the calculation of shift length – (travel time + utilized time).
So why is all this important? Let's look at unionized employees from a productivity and utilization standpoint. With unionized employees, you are paying for them regardless of how effectively they are being used. In this model, to get the greatest benefit for the cost of running your business, it's necessary to ensure that you are getting the most out every minute of your employees' days.
The level of detail that the field services tools capture today allow you to get a much more granular feel for the variables that are affecting your business. This allows you to understand your current allocations by category, track trends and put in place processes to improve those areas that are driving a negative effect on your bottom line. It is however, important that you consider all the data when making your improvement initiative decisions.
In the first graphic, you will see a chart depicting an allocation of time by category for a typical day in the services business. The data elements not shown here are that the productivity metric for this day was 4.68 and the shift length was 9 hours. It's not unusual to see that actual working time or utilization is around 50% of a normal day. Having data like this allows you to hone in on specific aspects of where your technician spends their time to drive improvement.
In the next graphic, you can see the rest of the numbers based on the data from the first chart. Again, you need all the data to make an informed choice about where you decide to focus your efforts, otherwise the results could be unexpected.
Each of these metrics is a lever and pulling any one lever will affect the others. The first instinct when looking at this will be to increase utilization and reduce idle time. This is always a good goal since idle time is clearly unproductive, however, you need to ensure that you hold or improve the avg mins/task metric at the same time. Otherwise, you could accomplish your goal of increasing utilization and reducing idle time yet productivity could remain the same and no additional work is being done.
Increasing productivity is always a preferred outcome unless you are trying to solve for a significant quality issue. In the above example one could envision a goal as follows: increase productivity by 7% to 5 jobs per day by holding avg mins/task at 45 minutes and reducing idle time. The math looks good; all you must do is find the technician an additional 15 minutes. To achieve anything over 5.0 jobs per day the levers are shifting and to move the average up even a .1 will require more travel time, this means that the 15 minutes you were looking for could mean a requirement for as much as 36 minutes.
When focusing on reducing any metric, take a good look at all aspects of the inside and outside job. It's easy to say that the technician just needs to work harder or smarter but generally there's much more to consider. Poor processes around managing changes to a day's schedule, like job cancellations or client not available, often drive situations where the technician is waiting on work. Hiring field services consultants to conduct an operations review is a good alternative and ride along exercises both inside and out can help determine where the real problems are.

Many people have seen great success with keto diet as far as weight loss, health enhancement and everyday energy levels are concerned.
And while quite a few old and rusty doctors still look down on the current trend of low carb diets like keto, there's overwhelming scientific evidence that the state of ketosis has numerous health benefits.
Some of them are lower blood pressure; drop in cholesterol, increase in HDL cholesterol (that's the good kind), much smaller spikes in insulin levels, more energy, clearer thinking, better sleep patterns, weight loss… and much much more.
In this blog, I'm going to give you my "11 minute approach" to keto diet.
What that means is that after reading this (which should take about 11 minutes, hence the name), you're going to know exactly how to start yourself on a keto diet and enjoy all the spoils that come with it!
Common roadblocks & main fears about keto: what to do if you feel like crap after starting keto, if you've stopped losing weight, why the amounts of fat you'll consume on ketogenic diet don't matter as much as you think… and more!
So that's what you're going to find out in a nutshell.
First, let's start with how keto diets work. Then I'll show you how all of this is relevant to you as someone who wants to improve their health, lose weight and have more energy, and finally – how to get started.
The (admittedly very basic) science behind keto diets is that eating very few carbs (0-50 grams per day) tells your body to switch to a metabolic state called ketosis which starts burning fragments of fat called ketones for fuel – instead of glucose.
Once your body is "switched", a series of adaptations take place. That's why some people report feeling like crap during the first days on ketogenic diet. More on that later, but in a nutshell, it's something you just have to get over if that happens to you.
Most people, however, adapt keto diets without a hitch.
So what's the big deal and what does that mean to you?
Because this is an effective way to control your blood sugar (and your body will prefer fat instead of glucose for energy), in most cases it means impressive weight loss.
Plus, a huge advantage of keto diets over others is you're getting all the nutrients you need and you'll feel satisfied and satiated all the time instead of hungry, irritated and desperate… which makes it easy not to quit and keep up the results long term.
Focus most of your meals on a protein and a fat with a side of vegetables, like a steak with a side of sautéed spinach.
See, a ketogenic diet isn't something you need to go out and buy "special" foods for. Ketogenic foods are just your everyday foods. All the difference is made by avoiding carbs!
To ensure your success with keto diet, rummage through your kitchen cabinets and fridge and throw out all high carb foods – including whole grain "complex carbs"… and then restock with low carb foods. Once your part of the Reset Factor Online Program Community you can watch the video I did at my friend's Bonnie's home cleaning out her fridge and pantry of all harmful foods.
If you're not alone and others in your household don't want to adopt a keto diet (their loss!), just come up with a pact – anything to keep you off carbs for the first few days. After that, your body will adopt and you won't crave them at all.
Remember to stay hydrated – as you take in less carbs, your kidneys will start dumping excess water your body has been holding due to high carb intake.
And lastly, find some way to track daily food intake and carb counts. It could be something as simple as a notebook, or MyFitnessPal app, or you can go all out and create a complex Excel spreadsheet. The point is to keep tracking at least for the first week until you get the hang of this.
Oh, and if you want to track whether your body really is in ketosis, grab some ketostix in your local pharmacy… this way you'll know for sure. I don't really use them, but you might find it useful.
To recap, the gist of it is to "switch" your body to ketosis state by focusing your meals on a protein and a fat, and avoid carbs (count your carbs to make sure – at least at the beginning).
One thing I particularly like about ketogenic diet is the immediate boost to the quality of your life.
You'll be swept off your feet with the amount of energy you'll have. I can only compare to feeling at least 15 years younger. It's a terrible cliché… but that's exactly how it feels.
You'll be able to think clearer, too. And you should experience lower blood pressure, drop in cholesterol, decrease in stiffness and joint pains and much more.
Plus, as already mentioned, the lack of hunger will make following a keto diet easy.
Also, don't "cheat" with artificial sweeteners. If you do that, you're always just one bite away from relapsing. On the other hand, if you avoid sweets altogether and work through the cravings, they'll go away quickly and you won't be dependent on a snack to keep you going.
It's easy to keep keto'ing while eating at the office or on the move, too. Remember – most restaurants offer low carb foods, and even if they don't you can always ask them to make something for you – like a burger without the bun, or replace the fries with salad… it's pretty easy.
Unless your doctor has a good medical reason why you can't be on a low carb diet (in which case you should listen to your doctor)… don't fall for what most doctors say that the only diet that works is "low fat, balanced diet". In fact, there's more and more evidence that's just not true.
Remembering these 4 things will help you get results a lot faster… and without unnecessary effort.
Here's a couple of nice keto meal ideas if you don't want to spend a lot of time cooking, if you're new to all this or if you live with non-keto family.
If these will seem simple to you… it's because they are. Remember, ketogenic diet is only as complicated as you make it. You can get by with very basic foods and still feel great!
So let's look at a few ideas.
Tuna salad. Grab a can of tuna, add some salad, some celery and a little mayo if you want. Make sure the tuna is wild caught and of high quality and that the can it's packed in is BPA free. Buy only organic salad and celery. And you can make your own mayo or buy a brand without harmful vegetable oils, sugars or preservatives - like the Primal Kitchen Mayo made with avocado oil and all organic ingredients. Don't go too crazy on this though – canned tuna often contains a lot of salt so you might want to limit this to 3 times a week or so.
Nuts and dairy. Mix whatever nuts you like with yoghurt, cottage cheese or cream… but pay attention to what it says on the packaging – some of these products aren't keto compatible at all! Stay away from any flavored yogurt as those a loaded with sugar and chemicals. Only buy raw organic dairy products. I find mine at our local farmers market.
Eggs. Personally I like scrambled eggs but you can have them whichever way you want. Buy organic pasture raised eggs. Did I tell you that this is going to be mind-blowingly simple?
Now the meals above are more suited for breakfast (or, if you want, it can be a quick snack – just make sure you stay under calorie limit). Let's look at some more ideas that are more suited for lunch and dinner.
Bun-less burgers. It is every bit as awesome as it sounds. What you do is you cook the burger patty, garnish, and then wrap in lettuce and voila – a keto burger. Tasty! Buy all organic, sugar free garnish and avoid pickles that may be loaded with sugar and preservatives. And make sure the meat is organic, pasture raised beef or organic turkey.
Deli meats & cheese. Doesn't require any cooking… and is great if you're in a time crunch. Buy only organic deli meats without harmful chemicals and raw organic cheeses. Add olives or spinach to get your fiber! Organic of course!
Steak and eggs. Quick and easy, this recipe will meet all your macros plus a healthy serve of greens. Takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and there's nothing to it – cook the steak, cook the eggs, add spinach and that's it. Always buy organic, pasture raised beef and eggs and all organic veggies.
For more keto friendly recipes check out the Reset Kitchen for some of my personal favorites.
Okay, so it's not always roses and unicorns with any diet… and keto is not an exception. You might run into some roadblocks… and you might fall for some of the fear mongering regarding low carb diets.
If you feel like crap almost immediately after starting keto, you might have something called "keto flu"… which isn't dangerous, just irritating as heck.
What happens is you're experiencing withdrawal symptoms of carbohydrates. Your body is learning to use fat as fuel. Keto flu will be over in few days or in rare cases, weeks… and you'll feel better than ever.
If you get stomach aches, it's probably because you're not getting enough veggies – take a good hard look at your dietary balance. Same goes if you experience sleep problems – if done right keto will let you sleep like a baby and in some cases, even make sleep apnea go away.
If you're still gaining weight, you might be making the mistake of thinking that calories don't matter once you go on keto… and nothing could be farther from the truth. When it comes to weight loss all that matters (in broad strokes) is calories in vs calories out.
The solution is to start tracking (if you aren't doing that already) your calorie intake and adjust accordingly. Plus it's ok to plateau for a few weeks – that's completely normal and you shouldn't worry about it.
Low carb diets are hard to stick to. They say it's an "extreme" change and a "fad" and it won't stick so you're better off with the tried & true low fat balanced diet. That's not true. Since you'll be feeling way less hungry it's actually easier to keep eating keto than most other diets!
Low carb diets are high in saturated fat and therefore dangerous. Again, not true. The common misconception that saturated fats and cholesterol are bad for you, is just that – a misconception. A massive study came out in 2010 and found that there is absolutely no association between saturated fat and heart disease.
As you can see, there are little drawbacks and there is no proof that keto is bad, dangerous, or anything. Of course, you should always consult a doctor if you don't feel right, but generally keto is very safe and very effective.
It's absolutely possible to hit the weights (or do cardio if that's your thing) on keto.
In fact, a lot of people swear by this combination because it helps them burn fat while keeping muscle relatively intact – which creates a nice definition to their bodies.
That's something ordinary low fat, balanced diets that rely only on calorie reduction aren't able to accomplish. On those diets, your body often burns muscle first, creating a catch 22 situation – you can't lose weight effectively because you don't have enough muscle, and you can't build muscle because you're trying to lose weight.

Audio visual work for percussion and video. The piece is based on construction and deconstruction of artistic process. Video projection in this piece is linked directly to the performance of the musician, one is not complete without the other. There are 3 performances recorded in advance and divided in 3 additive primary colours which are red, green and blue. The sound of every colour follows its own video and it moves (comes in and out) like the video. With this process we wanted to decomposed the picture on its primary components and back composed to its original colours. During the process we get various different colours same as the various combination of sound that moves with the picture combined with live performance. As for the music, the composition is based on improvisation but with specific sound combination on metal percussion instruments mixed with water in aquarium. Both sound and video are flowing throughout the whole piece which makes the listener confused about the real source of the sound and the projection is projected through transparent black fabric, on the percussionists white shirt and on the walls behind.
Receptacles make music that disturbs easy categorization. While listeners may hear influences from no-wave, afro-beat, free jazz, funk or punk, Receptacles are not simply a mix of these styles. They have harnessed an essence of spontaneity and in doing so have created something unique and completely their own.
Receptacles wilfully instigate and manipulate an elasticity of form, key, tempo and metre. The absurdist, spoken- word lyrics act as the lynchpin in the reckless, hectic, headlong, joyful collision of rhythms and riffs. An anarchistic relationship to group dynamics ensures a strong, original, unified sound, where the sum is more than the parts, and yet the parts are more than the sum.

I need to map this structure to java class:
public class MessageProvider {
    private Message error1;
    private Message error2;
    //getters, setters

    public static class Message{
        private String text;
        private String code;
        //getters, setters
    }
}

Is it possible to map it by using spring boot capabilities ? If yes, I will be thankful for example.

A: According to the this Yaml Tutorial this is how to suppose to deserialize a yaml file:
YamlReader reader = new YamlReader(new FileReader("your-yaml.yml"));
Object object = reader.read();
System.out.println(object);
MessageProvider map = (MessageProvider)object;
System.out.println(map.get("error1"));

SEC amends "accredited investor" definition - A comparative look at the positions in US, UK and Hong Kong
Financial services disputes and investigations
On 26 August 2020, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended the definition of "accredited investor" in Rules 215 and 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 to add new categories of qualifying individuals and entities. In the case of individuals, the new definition will no longer rely on wealth in the form of a certain level of income or net worth as the sole criterion for establishing the financial sophistication of an individual for purposes of qualifying as an accredited investor. The amendments become effective on 8 December 2020.
Other international financial centres have similar regimes for the classification of individual investors. For example the UK has the "elective professional client" and Hong Kong has the "professional investor" classification. Wider access to investment opportunities usually comes at the cost of less stringent authorisation, disclosure and procedural requirements for privately placed investment products and related investor protections for qualifying investors. In our experience, a disgruntled customer will usually make the argument that he/she was mis-classified by the firm, whether as a matter of policy or arising from an abuse of the procedures by relationship managers. It is therefore important for firms and staff to get classification right. This e-bulletin highlights the changes made by the SEC and also considers the positions in the UK and Hong Kong.

Q: Cakephp console (bake) on Mac OS with Mamp : database connection error I am trying to do the Simple Acl controlled Application tutorial in the cakephp cookbook.
The idea is :
Making Databases
 CREATE TABLE users (
 id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, username VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
 password CHAR(40) NOT NULL,
 group_id INT(11) NOT NULL,
 created DATETIME,

 );

 CREATE TABLE groups (
 id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
 name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
 created DATETIME,
 modified DATETIME
 );

 CREATE TABLE posts (
 id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
 user_id INT(11) NOT NULL,
 title VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
 body TEXT,

 modified DATETIME
 );

 CREATE TABLE widgets (
 id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
 name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
 part_no VARCHAR(12),
 quantity INT(11)
 );

Then run the cake bake all command, this is when i have the problem :
Welcome to CakePHP v1.2.4.8284 Console

Error: Your database does not have any tables.

My database config is like this :
var $default = array(
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'port' => 8889,
    'login' => 'root',
    'password' => 'root',
    'database' => 'cake',
);

So i am using the last CakePHP Version (1.2.5), the last Mamp version (1.7.2) running PHP v5...
Somebody knows what is the problem ?

A: Ok i found a way to do it, it might help people who have the same problem : i set a the host to 127.0.0.1 so cake can connect to it.
Thanks for help.

A: You can also get around using the localhost ip address by doing
var $default = array(
    'driver' => 'mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'port' => 8889,
    'login' => 'root',
    'password' => 'root',
    'database' => 'cake',
    'port' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock',
);

This is because when using a named localhost MYSQL will try and connect through a local socket. By specififying where the socket is via 'port' you change the path it looks for the socket file in. By using 127.0.0.1 or by specifying an IP of any sort you tell MYSQL to connect via http, which does not use the socket at all.

A: This is the 2.x version of the database config for localhost on MAMP
public $default = array(
    'datasource' => 'Database/Mysql',
    'persistent' => false,
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'login' => 'USERNAME',
    'password' => 'PASSWORD',
    'database' => 'DATABASE',
    'encoding' => 'utf8',
    'unix_socket' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock'
);

A: cake can't find the socket.
try making a symbolic link from where your socket is, to where Cake thinks it should be:
ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

A: I had this problem when I moved to CakePHP.  In my current MAMP 1.9.x version I simply make sure I use
'host' => '127.0.0.1' and
'port' => 8889 (unless you change the default mysql port).
Works perfectly for me.

A: I'm helping a friend to setup this on Windows.
Inside a EasyPHP stuff all work fine (connection with Mysql).
So Cakephp use PDO to connect to database.
When try use BAKE to generate the models raise: "Error: Database connection "Mysql" is missing, or could not be created."
PHP on command line try find php.ini inside de Windows folder so they can't find and get the default configuration without PDO and Mysql extensions.
Copy php.ini inside de WINDOWS folder and bake stuffs will work fine!

Power consumption analysis of priority-based service differentiation scheme for LR-WPANs
Meejoung Kim, Een Jun Hwang
In this paper, we investigate the effect of service differentiation on the power consumption in contention period of IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks. Power consumption is analysed for two different service differentiation schemes under non-saturation condition. The two service differentiation schemes are the differentiation by the backoff exponent (BED) and differentiation by the contention window (CWD), which provide multilevel differentiated services in beacon-enabled mode with slotted carrier sense multiple access/collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) algorithm. The analysis is based on the stationary probabilities of a discrete-time Markov chain, which is a model of CSMA/CA describing the state of a head packet of a device. Numerical results show that CWD uses the power more efficiently and performs better in terms of throughput, while BED more differentiates the service.
