Q: Did I choose the wrong database for the job? DynamoDB vs Aurora I'm building a real estate website with property listings, some filters to search and an address field with autocomplete. It's working fine, but the performance on the autocomplete is super slow. It takes almost a second to get a response. Considering all services are in my region I think that's pretty slow.
I improvised sort of a "fuzzy" search where I split the source string (for example if the user searches for "Jumeirah, Rimal" becomes ["jumeirah", "rimal"]) and try to match a location's full "path" (a string like locationID/city/community/sub-community/tower, in this example "are.1.50/Dubai/Jumeirah Beach Residence/Rimal") to each part of the split string. The expression becomes something like this:
contains(#path, :fullString) OR
(contains(#path, :stringOne) AND contains(#path, :stringTwo) AND ... )

The important thing is that because I need to use the "contains" operator, I can't do it efficiently with a KeyExpression and I need to use the slower FilterExpression with a full scan. I only have 7,500 locations to search from and the performance is pretty bad already.
This made me think if I should use an SQL based database like Aurora. AFAIK SQL can execute complicated queries very efficiently.
I will also look into AWS's elastic search solution.
What do you think?

A: DynamoDB is most performant when you are able to perform a query operation to find an exact partition key, using the scan operator will likely lead to a performance hit and lead to increased usage of read credits.
Whilst a relational database such as Aurora can perform this operation, using ElasticSearch will likely be more performant for this operation.
By using ElasticSearch functionality for performing a fuzzy search is supported and is one of the key benefits to using this as a document store.

A: If you used Postgresql Aurora, use this: https://hub.packtpub.com/how-to-perform-full-text-search-fts-in-postgresql/
That's Full-text search inside the DB with indexes (check GIN and RUM index types). no need to duplicate your data out of the DB into a Elasticsearch instance also you can get more creative from there and use extra fields from your db to rank the results in a better way. absolutely recommended. e.g. now that I know these rows match the fuzzy search, let's do an inner join get extra data and tweak the ranking function to show geolocated results by distance (PostGIS)
I saw some guys saving more than 80% of their bill by removing the elasticsearch server and serving that FTS query from its own postgres

In the drive to succeed in the social gaming market, companies like BJX Entertainment are striving to take new angles on classic games.
Despite changing laws around advertising in the United States, BJX Entertainment has found a new home for their most recent addition to the world of online gaming. What was originally planned to be a televised event by it's creators, Mark Koetting and David Thomas, BlackJack eXtreme has been released instead for the Facebook and iOS device market. The original dream for their new twist on an old classic hasn't been lost though, as Rohin Malhotra, the former CEO of World Poker Tour, has teamed up with BJX. Their combined effort will hopefully make their game into an internationally broadcast television experience on the same level that professional poker and blackjack tournaments currently enjoy.
The game itself is a casino-inspired table game heavily inspired by blackjack, as the name itself implies with new twists and what seems to be a little insight from poker as well. Each round's winner is determined using the core set of rules from blackjack but gives both sides of the table some new abilities to make it even more exciting but still fairly balanced.
The dealer, which can now be controlled by a human player, can make moves never before allowed, such as making hits on soft hands, those where an ace is combined with the other card in hand, given that it is not a ten or face card, to be an eleven or one. They can also fold bad hands as in poker as well as picking and choosing which of their cards is revealed to the players, giving a new avenue for strategy in defending the bankroll of the house.
Players aren't left at the mercy of an overpowered dealer as they have been empowered with more loosely fitting rules. They can raise their bets from a double up or even go all in, a feature usually only seen in poker. If the dealer agrees, players can tip the table in their favour by taking an unlimited number of hits as well as split aces if they so choose.


Book Fight After Dark, Free Preview (full episode available to subscribers) | Book Fight!
Hey, everybody! Today marks the debut of our new Book Fight After Dark series, which will be available to anyone who subscribes to our Patreon at $5 a month or more. We're moving to this model, instead of our usual end-of-year fundraising drive, because it seems a bit simpler, and it gives donors more bonus content. Each month, we'll record a special bonus episode–for the foreseeable future, these will all be about romance novels, as we explore the many, many subgenres of romance/erotica. Neither of us is a regular romance reader, but we're ready to learn!
First up, this month we're talking about a NASCAR-themed romance (yes, that's a thing that exists).
If you've already donated to our Patreon, just go straight to that page to access the full episode. You'll have a few options for listening: 1) Stream the bonus episode directly on Patreon; 2) Download an mp3 file of the episode, via Patreon; or 3) Copy the private RSS feed (you'll see it over on the Patreon page), then put that into your preferred podcast player–this option should allow the episodes to download automatically, each month, just like our regular episodes do, though they'll be in their own feed.
If you haven't donated yet, what are you waiting for? You already get four free episodes a month–which won't change–and your donation helps keep the show up and running. Plus: romance novels! What more could a person want? If you're still not convinced, take a listen to this brief excerpt, and see if it's for you. If it is, here's your next stop.
Thanks for listening! And for supporting the show!
Categories: bonus features | Permalink.
I could be convinced to buy episodes even 6 months after they are released from iTunes or your site. There are certain romance writers that I read avidly and would be tempted to part with some cold hard 6.10$ Canadian cash to hear your opinion. Unless patreon will accept 5$ Canadian, a whopping 3.88$ USD?

Welcome, Educators!
If - Then
Variations of this game include: 4 Suddenly:
Experiment with cause and effect by passing a scene back and forth. One player says, "If..." and fills in the blank. The other player says, "Then..." and fills in the blank. Add to the fun of the game by acting out each moment, sitting or standing, based on what works best for your situation.
ONE ON ONE:
In a one-on-one, in-person setting, this game looks a lot like Choices. To indicate your choice, you can move to one side of the room and the other, or point to one side of the room or the other. You could also use two quickly sketched signs (yes/no) laid out on a desk and tap the sign of your choice for each round.
ONE-ON-ONE ONLINE:
Use the moving or pointing methods above, or hold up your sketched signs to the screen.
ONLINE GROUP:
Use the chat to indicate your choices, or the "raised hand" feature on Zoom. The facilitator can choose a player with a raised hand who "would like to do ... " the previously indicated option to give the next suggestion to the group.
You could also ask everyone to go find a hat in their house and put the hat on for yes, and leave it off for no.
IN-PERSON GROUP:
During live play, players can swap places across the circle when they have done something, or when they would like to do something. Use one less chair, or one less masking tape x than players, so that one person is always "trapped" in the middle of the circle. The player in the middle starts play with their statement, "I have never ..." and then tries to steal a place as other players swap spots. Whoever is left in the middle starts the game again.
When the first player is thinking of their ideas, invite everyone to come up with one or two so that when their turn comes around, they're ready.
If someone gets stuck in the middle, facilitators can take their spot, or ask another player to tap in. The game is most fun if new players end up in the middle each round.
Alternate Versions:
Suddenly: Each player adds a line to the story that begins with "Suddenly," passing it back and forth.
Idea Generation: Players remember exciting, funny, or otherwise memorable life events and use them as a basis for stories.
lay with cause and effect by passing a scene back and forth. One player says, "If..." and fills in the blank. The other player says, "Then..." and fills in the blank. Add to the fun of the game by acting out each moment, sitting or standing, based on what works best for your mentorship.


Do my own termite control??
Thank you for the wonderful write up on Sentricon. I have read up on the system and feel it is a great choice. I am new to this issue, but have been thrust into research due to swarmers inside my home. I have had 2 companies identify the threat and offer Sentricon as the solution. I do believe I can purchase the plan through either company and feel good knowing the issue will be resolved. My question is this, I am looking at $1300 minimum to ge the system installed and $240 minimum per year for service. I am ok with this, however, I am a huge proponent for DIY and would like to discuss this method. I see you mention the Hex Pro and it is basically the same thing, so do I DIY or not? Here are my quick basic questions. What is truely different that would keep someone like me from installing my own hex pro over the professionals installing the sentricon? What does the housing resale market say about hexpro vs sentricon? Am I money ahead in the long run by letting someone else manage the yearly costs? I completely understand the companies are not going to lose money, so the annual fee is covering them, but is the hex pro more per year in comparrison to the annual contract price? Am I missing anything about either system that could be a big gotcha? final question, if I do the hexpro and then decide later to switch to use an annual service, would I incure the full installation fee or just annual renewals?
What is truely different that would keep someone like me from installing my own hex pro over the professionals installing the sentricon?
Sentricon is a licensed product available to professionals only. Hex Pro is the retail version of Sentricon available without a license to professionals. Both products are considered professional use. Hex Pro comes without the constraints of licensing from Dow and contains the original Hexaflumuron Chitin Inhibitor VS Sentricon that contains Noviflumuron. Both products work to kill termites.
What does the housing resale market say about hexpro vs sentricon? I am not aware of any studies on this.
Am I money ahead in the long run by letting someone else manage the yearly costs?
That is up to you. If you inspect the stations at least 2-3 times per year and replace the bait as needed, you will get the same results as a professional. The savings are obvious.
I completely understand the companies are not going to lose money, so the annual fee is covering them, but is the hex pro more per year in comparrison to the annual contract price? Considering that a case of Shatter (Bait is only $130 dollars vs $295 or so for Sentricon, Hex Pro is less. The difference is in company costs vs free labor.
Am I missing anything about either system that could be a big gotcha? You have to do it yourself and be diligent.
final question, if I do the hexpro and then decide later to switch to use an annual service, would I incure the full installation fee or just annual renewals? I don't know of any pest companies that will take over inspecting Hex Pro unless they installed them. So if you are going to do it yourself, you are stuck with it unless you go with a new Sentricon agreement. FYI - The cost for Sentricon on an average home is $350. That is paid to Dow.The rest is in labor, overhead and profit. The cost for an annual inspection is $50 paid to Dow, the rest is labor overhead and profit.
Whether you decide to do this yourself or hire a company is up to you. If you need help at any point with Hex Pro, we have free tech support.
Thank you for the answers!! One final thought... Would you sell me a case of Sentricon? I see some on ebay and it sure is very enticing to purchase that case and have the best of both worlds, cost savings and great product.
Sentricon is only available to licensed pest control companies, it is not for resale to homeowners. Any resale would be a violation of the Sentricon agreement and would cause Dow to suspend our Sentricon agreement. Any sales of Sentricon on EBAY or other sites is also a violation of that agreement the company that uses it. Almost all of the sales of Sentricon you see on EBAY is either STOLEN product from the company that has the agreement (employees stealing it and reselling it) or it is counterfeit product that contains no bait. Hex Pro is the only retail alternative if you want to do it yourself.

Home Articles Scandal! GTTA confirms match-fixing allegations in CWG justifier
GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – APRIL 05: Derek Abrefa of Ghana competes during the Table Tennis men team round against England on day one of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games at Oxenford Studios on April 5, 2018 on the Gold Coast, Australia. (Photo by Jono Searle/Getty Images)
The Ghana Table Tennis Association (GTTA) has been caught up in a match-fixing scandal at the just ended qualifiers for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The local table tennis governing body has ordered the suspension of the results of the just-ended justifier for the Commonwealth Games pending the outcome of an investigation.
The development comes after the Ghana Football Association similarly demoted two premier league sides, Ashantigold and Inter Allies, among other heavy sanctions for engaging in match-fixing.
According to a publication by the Daily Graphic, ten top national table tennis players took part in an all-play-all qualification over the last two days.
Four players, Derek Abrefa, Emmanuel Commey, Emmanuel Asante, and Ernest Mawutor emerged as the top players in the end.
But the Graphic indicates that reports of match-fixing emerged on the first day of the competition last Sunday, with players alleging some of their colleagues were making it easier for others to win matches, and take up qualification slots for the Birmingham Games.
Graphic reporter Kwame Larweh states in his report that some of the players were even alleged to have received an inducement to throw matches.
The President of the GTTA Mawuko Afadzinu reportedly expressed his disappointment at the turn of events in an encounter with the players at the end of the exercise where he ordered the suspension of the results.
"I am very disappointed in some of you and I least expected this from you. We can't accept fixed matches and fake matches; it doesn't bode well for us and won't help our game," he told the 10 participants at the DG Hathiramani Hall, Accra Sports Stadium on Monday according to the Graphic.
He added that the game can only be built on strong values of integrity.
"We need to grow the game with integrity, principle, and true talent; we can do better than this," he said.
Further, the GTTA boss an inquiry to determine what had happened.
"We are going to investigate this to the bottom and punish the perpetrators," he insisted.
It will be recalled that the Black Loopers, as they are affectionately called, were in the news a couple of weeks ago when they booked their places at next year's International Table Tennis Federation (ITTC) World Table Tennis Championship to be held in Durban, South Africa.
Ghana's female team, made up of Cynthia Kwabi, Eva Adom Amankwa, Celia Baah Danso, Milicent Ankude, and Blessing Labanti won silver in the team event to qualify for their first ITTF World Championships.
Their male counterparts, including Derek Abrefa, Emmanuel Commey, Bernard Joe Sam, Emmanuel Asante, and Emmanuel Ofori settled for third place.
Meanwhile, Ghana's number one seed, Derek Abrefa also secured his place at the 2023 ITTF Championships in the singles event.
Therefore, it comes as a big surprise that match-fixing allegations have surfaced just weeks after the feat.

Having trouble keeping on top of your debts?
Life without debts might still be far away, but a debt management plan can be a beginning. A debt management plan cannot pay off money owed - but when looking for a life without debts, and when it has become too difficult to manage one's debts, help is there! With a debt management plan, it is possible to find an agreement with one's creditors on how the money can be paid back in installments.
When taking out a debt management plan, the company will negotiate with your creditors on your behalf and work out a plan to enable you to put all your debts together into one monthly payment. Possibly interest rates can be frozen and the monthly payment will be lower.
Having a debt management plan in place means you no longer have to talk to your creditors yourself, which not only makes your life easier, but you leave it to the experts who also will give you advice and support. There will be only one monthly payment which will be less high and thus easier to fit into the daily costs.

White Supremacy as Daily Practice
By Micah Jones on February 17, 2021 in Historians' Watch
On 13 February 2021, the US Senate failed to convict former President Donald Trump for his involvement in the events of 6 January. On that day, a crowd of white nationalists, incited by Trump, stormed the US Capitol in an unlawful and anti-democratic attempt to prevent a peaceful transfer of power. That the mob did so while draped in flag regalia, lobbing accusations of treason, and referring to the Capitol as "our house" seems, on the surface, to exceed what the term hypocrisy can capture.
White nationalism is not a marginal ideology, however; it has long been a part of the warp and weft of American society. It is more than advocacy for an all-white nation. It encompasses the belief that white people do and should have a privileged relationship to the state and the law. It is the strength of this relationship that allowed Trump to be acquitted of crimes committed in plain sight. While spectacles of violence, like the events at the Capitol, are central to the public conception of white nationalism, it is quotidian acts of racist degradation that have perpetuated white nationalist ideas and laid the groundwork for such outbursts over this nation's life span. To expose the roots of the storming of the US Capitol, we must turn our gaze away from the rarefied aisles of Congress and towards the more mundane aisles of the Jim Crow grocery store.

Lynching is perhaps the most quintessential expression of white supremacist exceptionalism in recent history. White mobs openly violated the laws, procedures, and norms of the justice system and government to seek violent retribution for crimes and slights; real and imagined. They revelled, gawked, took barefaced photos, and grabbed souvenirs. Law enforcement officers were often unwilling and unprepared to intervene. While these spectacular acts of violence loom large in our collective memory, day to day life in the Jim Crow era was fraught with racist norms and inequitable treatment that cheapened Black life.
Stretching from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, Jim Crow was defined by the creation of a set of laws and norms mandating segregation. While segregation is often remembered as total separation along lines of race, it was a complex, contradictory system in practice. Some spaces, like schools, were discrete institutions. In other spaces, like movie theaters, Black and white people were present, but separated by distance or a barrier. Black domestics performed physically intimate care work in white homes. The purpose of segregation was not to keep Black and white people separate, but rather to maintain white supremacy.
Food shopping as a Black person in the mid-twentieth century South encompassed a broad range of experiences. Grocery stores could be owned by Black people and recent immigrants of Lebanese and Chinese heritage, as well as white people. White-owned stores did serve Black customers, sometimes predominantly or exclusively. Within these spaces of interracial encounter, racist norms and inequitable treatment served to remind Blacks of their place. Black customers were required to wait behind any white customers present. If Black customers bought on credit, they were often subject to exorbitant interest rates and inaccurate tallies. To avoid losses, proprietors sold Black customers inferior or spoiled goods. These policies both reflected and reproduced anti-Black attitudes as white proprietors concretized Black inferiority for themselves and their customers, day in and day out.
'To All Fair Minded People' – People's Drug boycott: 1939 by Washington Area Spark. Licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0.
Given how deeply embedded the dehumanization of Black people was within this culture, it is unsurprising that attempts by Black customers to challenge these norms often triggered anti-Black violence. Two separate incidents in Atlanta during World War II demonstrate these conflicts. Both Ruby Moton and Lillian Banks purchased tainted meat at their local Piggly Wiggly. Each attempted to return it. In Moton's case, the manager and butcher of the store slapped, beat, and choked her. A nearby police officer arrested Moton, who was pregnant at the time. In Bank's case, the store manager, R.L. Brown, hit her in the face with a metal scoop, beat her with a gallon-sized jar of vinegar, and punched her. During the testimony at his trial, the defendant, Brown, stated, "I lost my temper and I hit her just as hard as I possibly could and felt that I was perfectly justified in doing to her what I did." In spite of this admission of guilt, an all-white-jury acquitted Brown in fifteen minutes.
An important feature of each of these attacks is how certain both store managers were that their blatantly illegal conduct would go unpunished. Each man believed that his position as a white man entitled him to a privileged relationship with the state. Their actions implied that they were not merely above the law, but acted as its very embodiment. The state's refusal to intervene or hold them accountable demonstrates that this was a shared understanding. Incidents like these taught Southerners what it meant to be a white citizen, in the sense of its rights, prerogatives, and limits. Racialized attacks in grocery stores were far from rare. There was a conflict over apples in Norlina, North Carolina in 1922 that led to a lynching. A request for a refund in Jackson, Mississippi culminated in a beating in 1962. The most infamous lynching in American history, that of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till in 1955, began with a supposed breach of decorum in a grocery store.
To this day, the behaviour of white citizens across America is shaped by a belief in a personal authority to determine where Black people belong and what they are allowed to do. This manifests a variety of ways, including calling the police on Black residents barbecuing, bird watching, and swimming. It is also evident in the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Trayvon Martin, and Jordan Davis. These young men violated something more sacred than the law. They violated a white men's sense of racialized geography and social hierarchy. They were out of order.
President Trump and his supporters' lies about the election sprouted within this same ideological soil. They did not target majority black municipalities, such as Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta, by accident. Their allegations did not emerge from evidence, but rather the search for evidence emerged from the allegation. Undergirding this was the notion that Black political participation is inherently illegitimate. The assault on the Capitol reflects an ongoing belief in white people's prerogative to contravene the letter of the law to ensure that America remains a country for white men.
Long before the Capitol attack, white supremacists made no secret of their willingness to use violence to serve their political goals. The attacks in Charleston in 2015, Charlottesville in 2017, Pittsburgh in 2018, and El Paso in 2019 were all red flags. The most troubling aspect of the events of 6 January is not the attack itself. It is rather that the government did not prepare to fend it off, in spite of receiving ample warning. Those in charge of security at the Capitol could not conceive of this majority white group as a threat; their collective whiteness signalled their belonging and allowed them to grow unchecked.
As the days after the attack turn into weeks, two major schools of thought have emerged on how best to respond. One camp issues calls for unity that ring hollow in the absence of accountability. The other plans to wield the United States' deeply flawed apparatus of policing and criminal justice to punish those involved. The criminal justice system, however, has little appetite for punishing white people. This group will – indeed has already begun to – receive preferential treatment. Black and brown youths languish in jail for lack of bail money, while rioters sleep in their own beds. It is also worth considering that prisons and jails are more renowned for incubating white supremacy than reforming it. We must exercise a foresight shaped by history. The very tools that are deployed against this mob, such as strengthened anti-terrorism statutes, will ultimately be turned back on the most vulnerable among us.
Those of us invested in building a more egalitarian society in the United States cannot afford to be seduced by calls for a return to normalcy. Our rule of law, our social order allows for rampant gun violence, mass incarceration, astronomical wealth inequality, an ongoing assault on voting rights, racialized health disparities, the abridgement of indigenous people's sovereignty, and a border that allows for the free flow of capital while policing the flow of people. White supremacy is not the exception; it is the rule.
For all its chaos and heartbreak, 6 January 2021 also offered lessons for how to move forward, if we are willing to turn our gaze south of the Capitol to Georgia. On that same day, years of organizing efforts spearheaded by Black women paid off as Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won twin runoff races and secured control of the Senate for the Democratic Party. That Warnock and Ossoff are also Georgia's first Black and Jewish senators adds to the spectacular nature of the occasion. However, the enduring hope this occasion supplies lies in the mundane. Everyday people registered voters, knocked on doors, arranged transportation, disseminated information, and discussed and debated with family, friends, and neighbours. What happened in Georgia should remind us of the power of ordinary people to work collectively, in a manner neither organized by the state nor apathetic to its power, to advocate for their own self-interest and achieve a common goal.
These tactics are the product of generations of Black resistance to white supremacy. The violence against Ruby Moton, Lillian Banks, and Emmett Till was not met with silence. We know these particular names because their communities spoke out. Black newspapers documented these attacks. A coalition – including her sorority, the NAACP, the Atlanta Civil and Political League, the Grady Homes Tenant Association – formed on Moton's behalf. They issued public calls for Black shoppers to withhold commerce from businesses that engaged in racist practices. Mamie Till's courageous choice to hold an open casket funeral sparked international outrage and the Civil Rights Movement.
Accountability has become the watchword amongst those horrified by the vile white nationalist politics on full display at the Capitol. The question that ought to shape our conduct in the weeks and months ahead is not how we hold former President Trump or the mob he inspired accountable. It is rather how we hold ourselves accountable to working collectively to combat white supremacy as it manifests in our everyday lives and communities. This process requires the moral clarity to name acts of quotidian racial degradation for what they really are: the quiet precedents for spectacular calamities to come. The attack on the Capitol was a warning, and one we must heed. There are no more excuses for being unprepared.

    ]
},
{"productId" : 4,

"isComplete" : 0,
"variantId" : 1,
"attributeSet" : [
        {
            "name" : "Capacity",
            "value" : "1 TB",
            "id" : 3
        },
        {
            "name" : "Form Factor",

        },
        {
            "id" : 5,
            "name" : "Memory Components",
            "value" : "3D NAND",
            "isVariation" : 0
        }
    ]
}

Now I want to send the data of only the attribute where isVariation is not 0. Also I want to send the variant values of each attribute where isComplete =1. Hence the result should look like this
 result : [{
     "id": 3,
     "name": "Capacity",
     "value": [
         "500 GB",
         "1 TB"
     ]
  }, {
     "id": 4,
     "name": "Form Factor",
     "value": [
         "5 inch"
      ]
}]

The above result does not have value of 2.5 inch as the isComplete is 0 for this document. Can anyone help me with the query

A: *

*$match isComplete is 1

*$project to show required fields

*$unwind deconstruct attributeSet array

*$match attributeSet.isVariation is not 0

*$group by attributeSet.id and get first name and get unique value using $addToSet
db.collection.aggregate([
  { $match: { isComplete: 1 } },
  {
    $project: {
      _id: 0,
      attributeSet: 1
    }
  },
  { $unwind: "$attributeSet" },
  { $match: { "attributeSet.isVariation": { $ne: 0 } } },
  {
    $group: {
      _id: "$attributeSet.id",
      name: { $first: "$attributeSet.name"  },
      value: { $addToSet: "$attributeSet.value" }
    }
  }
])

Playground

The $project stage is not required in your query, i have added because this will optimize your query performance.


Understanding the way the muscles of the mouth express the emotion of your subject is crucial in determining how to depict that emotion in your drawing. In this article I will touch upon the form concepts and muscular structure of the mouth and lips so that you can have some general guidelines in the back of your mind when you draw your next model. There are many variables to consider when drawing the lips. Everyone's lips are unique; there are different sizes, shapes, and configurations that depend on the model's size, age, ethnicity, and even eating habits. Luckily there are some common attributes as well, and they are helpful to keep in mind while drawing the mouth.
The lips are soft, movable, and very flexible. They are divided into two main parts, the upper lip (labium superioris) and lower lip (labium inferioris). In most cases the lower lip tends to be somewhat larger than the upper lip and is pillowy in its fullness compared to the upper lip. The upper lip usually falls into a form shadow because of its inward slant, which starts forward at its apex and ramps down and backward as its pulls inward, causing a slight overhang over the pillow shape of the lower lip. The lips can be broken down further into five distinct shapes. The upper lip may be divided into two wings on either side of the central beaklike shape. The little vertical indention just above the upper lip is called the philtrum.
The two lips together lay over the cylindrical shape of the muzzle of the mouth. Understanding this roundness of the overall form helps the artist depict how the center of the lips are closer to the viewer (on a straight-on view of the model) and thus how the corners of the mouth fold away from us in space, as if each side were attached to strings that were being pulled tight around a tin can.
The lips are really the transition point between our exterior facial skin and the inner smooth lining (or mucosa) of the mouth. This meeting point between these two tissues is called the vermilion zone. The name vermilion comes from the red color that is characteristic of this facial feature; this color is unique to humans and comes from the many blood vessels found in the dermis and their close proximity to the thin, translucent epidermis that covers them. The skin of the lips are only three to five cellular levels thick, compared to other facial-skin areas that are as many as 16 layers thick. The ridges found in the lips are a result of a highly folded dermis that is not found in the skin of any other body parts.
The extreme expressiveness of the mouth is due in part to its flexibility and wide range of movement. This range is attributable to the muscular structure that controls the lips under the surface, a complex web of facial muscles that are so interconnected with one another and with the different facial features that if you were to wiggle your nose, your upper lip would move from side to side as well.
The main muscle of the mouth is the orbicularis oris. The orbicularis oris forms the muzzle by surrounding the orifice of the mouth with several different layers of muscle fiber and extends from the base of the nose down to the top of the chin. The buccinator works with the orbicularis oris, stretching the circular fibers around the mouth's cavity. It is used when compressing the lips and cheeks against the teeth. The buccinator starts at the mandible (jawbone) and moves deeper than the rest of the facial muscles to connect to the modiolus and the upper and lower lips. Laterally flanking each angle of the mouth, the modioli act as the anchors for many facial muscles. These muscles are held together by fibrous tissue and are extremely important for facial expression.
The fibers of the orbicularis oris have origins in other facial muscles that end and join with the lips' own muscle fibers. Specifically, the three muscles that lead into the upper lip are the levator labii superioris, the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, and the zygomaticus minor. These three muscles control the upper lip region and move the lips sideways and raise them. They are well connected to the nose, too, and are helpful for wiggling the nose as well as expressing emotions of grief and contempt. The nearby levator labii superioris originates at the maxilla. The muscle that flanks the mouth on both sides and is in control of raising the lip high and sideways is the zygomaticus major. The lower lip and mouth is controlled primarily by three muscles: the risorius, the triangularis (or depressor anguli oris), and the mentalis. These muscles are used to pull down the corners of the mouth and lower lip. The mentalis can even wrinkle the chin.
Another important muscle is the masseter, which starts at the zygomatic arch (cheekbone) and stretches down to the ramus of the mandible. This muscle controls the opening and closing of the mouth as well as the pushing out of the chin; it is used to express anger and emotional tension.
The lips are one of the face's most prominent and expressive features. They help to visually communicate our emotions, and they have many functions, including helping us to eat and articulate speech and—most important—to kiss and be intimate. It takes careful attention and observation to evaluate each subject's own unique turns, tucks, folds, and roundness of the mouth and lips. But the time and patience is well worth it; with this pragmatic and well-observed structure in place, you can infuse your subject with an emotive strength.

Customers have used the MyoWare to measure vocal cord activation. You might want to double check your setup. Feel free to email us at support@advancer.co if you need help troubleshooting.
The reference electrode can be attached areas other than a bony area. It simply needs to be attached to an area that is adjacent to the muscle you are trying to measure. The function of this electrode is to align the sensor's ground state with the ground state of the user's body. Yes, a bony area is ideal because it does not produce electrical signals but it is by no means strictly required. For example, the sensor will work perfectly fine for the bicep if you place it along the inside of the user's arm between the bicep and tricep.
You can use other batteries besides two 9Vs. That is just a quick and simple example to help people not familiar with dual supply powered sensors. Unfortunately, you cannot power the V3 with a single supply source like a microcontroller. You need a positive voltage and a negative voltage. Keep in mind that a negative voltage is not the same as ground.
It's an analog sensor so sampling rate doesn't really apply. It would depend on the ADC/microcontroller/DAQ that you use to measure it.
The Arduino code is meant to be run along side the Processing code. It outputs all six pins so you can connect up to 6 sensors and view their output graphically via Processing.
The biomedical pads are probably too big for measuring eye muscles but the sensor should be able to pick them up if appropriate pads are used.
Are you driving the servomotor directly with the sensor? Usually this is done with a servo driver or microcontroller. If using a servo driver or microcontroller, you'd simply need to map the input values to higher values before sending it to the servo. You could also alternatively increase the sensor gain via the potentiometer marked as Gain in the middle of the board.
This is actually the same sensor board as before. The difference is that the sensor board was packaged as a kit but is now sold separately.

F the begrudgers Kev....... you're a talented guy with your best ahead of you.
It's all more than a bit rich when you think of the way the establishment themselves went after Ganley at the time of the Lisbon referendum.
And that's how we're rolling at the moment.
It was the lesser of this week's seismic dramas.
And then we went aqua with a burst pipe.
As I was trying to make myself some hard earned negative equity.
Have you though of public speaking? There may be considerable opportunities now that you are a household name.
They went after him not very effectively.
And showed no interest in his extreme right connections across Europe.
Not too disturbed by them perhaps.
Ganley's "opposition to Lisbon" was opportunist. He is in favour of a USofE.
Somebody needs to step in now that they've dropped Bertie.
Nice to know you are minding my six Sam.
I agree, that's become fairly obvious over the years. However he is a powerful media performer, one of the most formidable in the country, but whatever it is that he's trying to promote it's not very appetizing.
He covets power, he assumed the no to Lisbon campaign because it was bright shiny soap box upon which to form a political persona. That done, the next logical step is public office. He failed the first time but only just.
Mark it and mark it well, he will get there in the end.
Yes. Pockets deep enough to withstand many different business and political losses it seems.
But he must hold the record for the single biggest electoral failure since democracy began ?

Mathletics Assessment can drive improvement in your students results.
Teachers are calling the benchmark testing within Mathletics Assessments tool "revolutionary". Designed by our education team to closely replicate national tests and assessments, it provides a powerful tool to create a practice environment for students as well as benchmark their results, progress and improvement. Assessments can be easily assigned to students, are marked automatically and provide detailed reporting by class and student.
We want to help you improve your students' results and save time in 2015.
We have made it easier for you in 4 steps.
In January 2014, we began examining the impact of Mathletics usage on NAPLAN results in over 8,000 Australian schools.The study indicates that schools who use Mathletics achieve higher NAPLAN results. We have developed three key recommendations on how to ensure your school is maximising their Mathletics advantage.
Set Mathletics curriculum activities for your students. We recommend students complete an average of two activities per week. Each activity is approximately 6.5 minutes, that's less than 30 minutes a week!
Print NAPLAN practice papers from the eBooks area in the Mathletics Teacher Console. This will help familarise students with test conditions and ease the strain of a testing environment.
Taking the same assessment at multiple points across the school year provides excellent quantitative evidence of student improvement and will support you in helping your students achieve numeracy outcomes. Assessments in the Mathletics Teacher Console gives an automated diagnosis of each student, plus targeted development areas – by assigning relevant Mathletics content.
By spending as little as 30mins each week on curriculum activities, schools can gain a potential advantage of more than 9 percent in NAPLAN. Working collaboratively with schools, we want to do our best to lift the performance of every Australian student. A 9 percent lift per student would put us right back near the top of global performance tables.

Bravo! Carnegie Hall Goes Digital
By Aruna D'Souza — 10.09.2019

Thousands of treasures from the legendary hall's rich history — programs, photographs, flyers, posters, one-of-a kind rarities, and more! — are now available through the just launched Carnegie Hall Digital Collections
As Gino Francesconi tells it, in the early days of building Carnegie Hall's repository of historical materials, it was not uncommon for him to hear, "What do you mean, one of the most famous concert halls on the planet doesn't have an archive?"
That was in 1986. Just five short years later, in 1991, the storied venue would celebrate its 100th birthday in the grand manner with an 11-day centennial festival. The lack of an archive was not entirely surprising, says Francesconi. Andrew Carnegie had the idea of building the hall not to house a specific choir or orchestra, but "as a stage waiting for the phone to ring." Its location at the corner of 57th Street and Seventh Avenue — far, far uptown from Manhattan's tonier neighborhoods to the south — was a challenge, as was the fact that there was little public transportation at the time. But the challenges only seemed to burnish the hall's aura. As Francesconi puts it, "If you sold out Carnegie Hall, it meant you were good enough for people to go out of the way to go hear you."
Andrew Carnegie's insistence that "all good causes may here find a platform" meant that the stage at Carnegie Hall would be graced by some of the most important and sometimes controversial performers and public figures of the era, including many who were often shut out from other venues. Yes, the New York Philharmonic performed there, but the hall is also where Margaret Sanger came to speak in 1916 about birth control. In 1939, one of the 20th century's greatest singers, the African American contralto Marian Anderson, was prevented from performing before an integrated audience at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., because of her race. And yet, 11 years earlier, on December 30, 1928, Anderson made her Carnegie Hall solo recital debut, going on to enjoy many further triumphs on its stage. Jazz music, performed by black musicians, arrived in the hall when James Reese Europe and his Clef Club Orchestra presented a "Concert of Negro Music" in 1912. A storied 1938 concert by Benny Goodman and his orchestra was one of the first ever to feature an integrated band.
But Carnegie Hall's status as a high-quality rental venue had implications when it came to the kinds of materials that were produced and saved (or not), because many of the most interesting programs, posters, photographs, recordings, and the like were produced by the performers themselves, not by Carnegie Hall. If anything was saved, it was saved haphazardly, not systematically. Judith Arron, director of Carnegie Hall at the time, charged Francesconi to create an archive, "once and for all," as he recalls. He placed ads in news and trade publications asking people to send in whatever they had. "And so people started sending things in. One article in Modern Maturity generated almost 10,000 pieces."
The material started piling up, and Kathleen Sabogal, who serves today as assistant director of the archives, was brought on board to work as part of the team charged with cataloging and organizing it into a full archives serving researchers, writers, and the public. In time, when the team aspired to take the archives to the next level — properly preserving and digitizing them so they could be accessed widely — it was clear that more help, financial and otherwise, would be needed to get things done. That help came from Vartan Gregorian and Carnegie Corporation of New York — happily enough, on the occasion of the foundation's own 100th anniversary, in 2011, with that leadership gift soon inspiring other funders to follow suit.
With this grant money, the first major infusion of Carnegie foundation money to the hall in 80-odd years, the Carnegie Hall Archives was able to bring in experts to help them decide how to go about digitizing and organizing their paper and audiovisual materials in a systematic way, a process that included stabilizing and preserving the physical objects before scanning. The team researched digital asset management systems and brought on a digital project manager. "One of the best things that came out of the initial three-year grant was that the digital project manager, which was supposed to be a short-term position, has transformed into a permanent digital collections manager," says Sabogal.
"With digitizing not just the programs, but flyers and posters and correspondence and architectural drawings, we are going to be able to share this material with people all over the world, whether or not they would ever be able to travel to New York City," says Sabogal. "That was really one of the biggest reasons that we wanted to undertake what has turned out to be a massive project."
Asked to select some of the real gems in the collection, Francesconi points to a couple of truly unique items. Yes, there are thousands of interesting concert programs, posters, and photographs, but there is also an autograph book that was kept by the hall's general manager from 1917 until about 1939 with more than 300 signatures in it — covering everyone from Gen. John J. "Black Jack" Pershing to Igor Stravinsky. A collection of questionnaires completed by 60 composers for the 1934 edition of Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians includes responses from such modern masters as Alban Berg and Edgard Varèse.
"Carnegie Hall was an anchor for America's growing cultural identity," Francesconi explains. "Back when it was established, the idea was that everything good, culturally speaking, had to come from Europe. Now there was something over here, a place that European musicians held up as a marker of success — 'Jeez, I wonder if I can sell out Carnegie Hall.' It became this high-water mark of achievement. You had composers like Camille Saint-Saëns and authors like Mark Twain and so on. Carnegie Hall's archives are a really wonderful look into a period of America's history that is unique."

MeToo: Academia Has Its Fair Share Of Sexual Predators
Image by iStock
By Rachel S. Harris October 17, 2017
When I was a graduate student I met a professor at a conference overseas who attended my panel and showed interest in my research. He offered to read my work and provide constructive feedback. Several weeks later he told me he was coming to the country I lived in for a conference and asked if we could meet for coffee to talk about my writing.
We went to a coffee shop. He moved his chair to the side of the table until he was close enough to put his hands on my knees, he leaned forward, stared into my eyes and offered me a post-doc in exchange for sex.
There are a thousand versions of this story in the corridors of academia, the place that I know well. Such as the faculty member who becomes obsessed with his undergraduate student and harasses her until she either submits or drops the course. The department head who dates graduate students. The journal editor who offers a smooth ride to publication for the willing author.
Academia is not alone in allowing this behavior to go unchecked and these experiences are familiar to women in most industries and professions. Since Alyssa Milano called for women to highlight the magnitude of the problem by posting 'Me too' on social media if they had experienced sexual harassment, sexual abuse, or rape women have been speaking out. They are giving a voice to those who have experienced unwanted and uninvited attentions. They are giving women a sense of community, and reminding women they are not alone.
The stories often include anecdotes about the recriminations and repercussions for those who report what happened to them. The jobs they didn't get, the pay raise they missed, the courses they were forced to drop, the spaces in which they were no longer physically safe. I've been lucky to be mentored by amazing senior faculty, male and female, but I've also watched those faculty dismiss accusations of their colleagues' predatory behavior as exaggerated or unfounded. Though occasionally faculty are dismissed, more often the best a complainant can hope for is the faculty member is suddenly put on extended leave.
"Me too" is showing those in positions of authority why they need to speak up when they see these actions taking place, and to believe women when they say, yes, and me too.
When it happened to me I was stunned. I'm not classically attractive; I'm overweight. I wasn't wearing a short skirt, and I certainly wasn't flirting, the triggers I had always been taught would encourage attention. Like women everywhere I had been taught to police my own behavior because if something happened to me, then it was probably my fault. But I understood then that if it could happen to me then it could happen to anyone. It was a display of a man's power. I mustered up an excuse that evening to explain my immediate unavailability.
I wondered if I had been naïve and failed to understand what it would take to succeed. Curious, I researched the man's department — which was filled with female post-docs, but only male lecturers. My first response was to question the women's academic credentials. Had they too received indecent proposals? That shouldn't have been my response. I should have felt anger, outrage and frustration. I should have been disappointed that these other women were being undermined by their association with predatory behavior over which they had no control, and perhaps no knowledge. But who could I report this to? Who would believe me? And if this is how the system worked as I student I was hardly in a position to upend it.
This senior faculty member was in my field but he wasn't in my discipline. He could have helped my career but he certainly couldn't have damaged it. I was lucky. For many of the women who experience these kinds of advances, the Weinsteins of academia control their grades, their lab assignments and even their funding. They can prevent them from getting jobs and publications. Saying no can lead to severe professional consequences.
Gender divides in academic ranks can enable this kind of harassment. For many a lack of grievance process hinders reporting. Conferences facilitate these kinds of opportunities for predatory sexual behavior when they allow interviews to take place in bedrooms. All male panels particularly in fields dominated by men, uphold inequity when they are scheduled at the best times in the best rooms thereby establishing who is important and has power. When male chairs respond to audience questions addressed to female panelists they undermine women's research and position. When men speak over women at meetings, fail to take questions from female audience members, or corner junior female faculty with unwanted attention, men uphold the power imbalance and further weaken women's effectiveness in speaking out.
We may not be able to stop sexual harassment, but we can impede those who engage in it by changing professional cultures. We can become observant and step in. We can encourage women's voices.
When my sexual predator called me again the next time he was back in my country, I invited him to stay — at my parents' house — with my parents, and explained we'd have to have separate bedrooms. I never heard from him again. I never held a post doc. But now I can speak up — and I can shout!

Hi, it would be nice to provide at least minimal manpages for all shipped binaries. There is excellent documentation for SML/NJ, and I don't think it's worth the time to document all of this in a manpage. However, it would be nice to have some basic information about usage.
Debian already ships skeletal manpages for all the binaries. I thought I'd file a feature request here with links to the manpages in case you're ever interested in developing them more.
As of 110.77 the doc.tgz file in the distribution includes manual pages for the command-line tools. On Mac OS X, these are installed in /usr/local/man.
