Slowing Rate of Change and Tech Innovation
Comments: 34 Web/Tech May 30, 2010
"We flatter ourselves by imagining that we live in an age of endless invention and innovation," says Paul Kedrosky. A classic approach is applying Moore's Law to…everything, and then leaping to claims about unprecedented change in society more generally. I'm reading a number of commentators call bullshit. They are arguing that the number of new important innovations has been steadily declining and that the pace of change is slowing.
Here's Philip Longman in U.S. News & World Report:
There is a distinction to be made between inventions that are merely sophisticated–such as, say, personal digital assistants–and those that fundamentally alter the human condition. The invention of the light bulb created more useful hours in each day for virtually every human being. The electric motor directly raised the productivity in every sphere of life, from speeding up assembly lines to creating so many labor-saving devices in the home that millions of housewives were able to join the paid work force. The internal combustion engine allowed for mass, high-speed transportation of both people and freight while also opening up vast regions of cheap land to suburban development. The materials revolution that brought us petroleum refining, synthetic chemicals, and pharmaceuticals involved learning to rearrange molecules in ways that made raw materials fundamentally more valuable. Without the genetically improved seeds that brought us the "Green Revolution" of the late 1960s and '70s, there would be mass starvation.
Can we make any parallel claim about the single greatest technology of our own time? It remains possible that networked computers and other new information technologies will one day create similar, societywide bursts in productivity, health, and wealth. Yet to date, the marginal gains computers have brought to communications are modest even compared with the improvements made by the telegraph. The first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable in 1866 reduced the time required to send a message from New York to London from about a week to a few minutes. Notes economist Alan Blinder: "No modern IT innovation has, or I dare say will, come close to such a gain!"
Here's Scott Sumner with a personal observation in a post about economic growth rates:
My grandmother died at age 79 on the very week they landed on the moon. I believe that when she was young she lived in a small town or farm in Wisconsin. There was probably no indoor plumbing, car, home appliances, TV, radio, electric lights, telephone, etc. Her life saw more change than any other generation in world history, before or since. I'm already almost 55, and by comparison have seen only trivial changes during my life. That's not to say I haven't seen significant changes, but relative to my grandma, my life has been fairly static. Even when I was a small boy we had a car, indoor plumbing, appliances, telephone, TV, modern medicine, and occasional trips in airplanes.
Michael Lind makes similar points in his Time magazine piece called "The Boring Age."
Here's Peter Thiel:
The question about what sorts of innovations we are likely to see in the next 10 or 20 years depends a great deal on what people do. The pessimistic view is that we are living in a society that depends on innovation and science and technology, but that is actually not focusing on these things nearly enough and that as a result, we are headed towards an extended period of stagnation and very slow growth throughout all the nations of the developed world.
The more optimistic view is that we somehow figure out a way to restart the innovative engine that's probably gotten stalled. And my version of this would be that we go back to where the '50's and '60's ended and look back at the great technologies people were pursuing at the time; space, robots, artificial intelligence, the next generation of biotechnology and sort of look at where people thought the future of the world was going to be in 1968 and we try to take off from where things got detoured at that time.
Here's a different 10 min video of Peter Thiel in which he talks about the lack of innovation in the context of financial markets. There is an attitude that "someone else is doing it" but in fact no one is doing it. "There is a lot less going on than people think," he says.
So: Why is this happening?
Tyler Cowen once said, "If we had to build today's energy infrastructure working under the current regulatory and NIMBY burden, it probably could not be done." Can we extract from this a larger claim that a bloated government and burdensome regulatory environment are significantly dampening innovation? An ever-powerful bureaucratic class strangling creativity? Or is it that the government is not doing enough in funding basic research toward big innovation (as it did with Darpa and space program of the past)? Are there cultural norms around conformity that are causing too many to be too deferential to the status quo? Are too many smart young people going to school? (In the past boy-geniuses had more unconventional educations which helped lead to extreme innovation, perhaps.) What are other reasons?
One counter-argument to all of the above is that there is indeed accelerating change and new innovation, it's just that we don't yet see it. As David Dalrymple said to me in a tweet, "The exponential trend only applies directly to enabling technologies, not to technologically-enabled milestones like flight."
(thanks to Michael Vassar for helping brainstorm some of these ideas.)

Great Britain - Christmas with Wallace & Gromit (2010) Booklet
08-May-2014 05:15:17 AM
Aardman Animations Ltd and Royal Mail
De La Rue Security Print
Mint Never Hinged - Very Fine
2nd class stamps in a booklet.
Stamp size: 20 x 24 mm
Wallace and Gromit carol singing.
Another interesting piece from Hr. James Law. Thank you so very much :-)
Wallace and Gromit to Feature on Christmas Stamps
Wallace and Gromit will feature on this year's Royal Mail's Christmas stamps.
On sale from November 2, the stamps feature the nation's favourite animated characters going about their festive duties with the 1st class stamp showing the pair posting their Christmas cards.
Wallace and Gromit go carol singing on the 2nd class stamp and dress the Christmas tree on the 60p stamp.
As usual, Gromit is left to do the majority of the work, carrying the cards and hauling an unfeasibly large Christmas pudding around on the 97p stamp, with his reward being a bone-themed jumper shown on the £1.46 stamp.
Like the Plasticine duo's award-winning films, the stamps are packed with detail, but with the added challenge of reducing the ''world of Wallace and Gromit'' down to stamp size.
To achieve this, Royal Mail's design team worked closely with creator Nick Park and Bristol-based Aardman Animations to devise brand new scenes featuring the pair.
The approach to the stamps was similar to how Aardman Animations create a film, with Park drawing scenes and visual jokes involving the characters, before refining the designs so they would work in a definitive stamp format.
Each stamp was then constructed with models, props and background sets - all created especially for the issue.
Park said: ''It's been such a wonderful honour and a pleasure to work with Royal Mail and to have my characters, Wallace and Gromit, immortalised on their very own stamps.
''It was one of the biggest challenges my talented team and I have faced yet - to create memorable Christmas images of the duo - the size of postage stamps. But we knew we'd lick it in the end.''
Royal Mail spokesman Philip Parker said: ''The process of developing these stamps has been a labour of love for all concerned - but I think it has resulted in one of the finest sets of Christmas stamps Royal Mail has ever produced.
''Nick and his team's attention to detail is legendary, but their efforts to bring Christmas with Wallace and Gromit to life on stamps is truly extraordinary.
''Keen-eyed collectors armed with a magnifying glass will see that the envelope seen being posted on the 1st Class stamp features the actual 1st class stamp.''

Trucking AccidentsTravis2021-05-20T12:07:09-05:00
If you or a loved one were seriously injured by a reckless or negligent truck driver, please contact our office at
1-800-631-5908 or CLICK HERE for a free claim evaluation.
Truck accidents often result in life-changing injuries or death. Even in cases where the truck driver is clearly at fault, trucking companies often train their drivers on what to say following an accident in order to avoid blame. Insurance companies also have a vested interest in shifting the responsibility away from their customers, making it incredibly important to hire an experienced attorney to help you file your claim and fight to secure the compensation you are owed.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, about 3,600 to 3,700 occupants of passenger vehicles die each year in big truck accidents. That amounts to more than one-fifth of all passenger vehicle occupant deaths in multiple-vehicle crashes.
In an overwhelming majority of big truck accidents, truck drivers escape without a scratch, while drivers of the passenger vehicles suffer devastating, and often deadly, injuries. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System, about 5,000 people die each year in big truck accidents, and about 85 percent of victims aren't truck occupants. In fatal big truck accidents involving passenger vehicles and large trucks, 98 percent of the deaths occur to the people in the passenger vehicles.
There are many factors that contribute to big truck accidents including the following:
Trucks can weigh up to 20 or 30 times more than passenger cars, leaving passengers in smaller vehicles extremely vulnerable during big truck accidents. In addition, big trucks take 20 to 40 percent longer than smaller cars to stop, and that percentage is greater when the trailers are loaded.
Another factor in big truck accidents is driver fatigue. Studies have shown that drivers are more likely to be involved in big truck accidents after long hours on the road. Truckers are human just like the rest of us and when they are overworked or sleep-deprived, they make mistakes. It's important to realize that many experienced truckers are paid by the mile and when they sleep, they lose money. Because of this, many truck drivers push themselves too far and end up falling asleep at the wheel. Drivers of large trucks are allowed by federal hours-of-service regulations to drive no more than 11 hours per day, but they are allowed up to 77 hours of driving over a seven-day period. Some truckers have been found falsifying hours-of-service records in order to appease their bosses or increase their pay.
No Maintenance or lack thereof
If a truck is not properly maintained, even the safest truck driver is at a much greater risk of causing an accident. One mechanical failure such as brakes or suspension is, unfortunately all it takes to cause a deadly accident to happen.
Reckless or Negligent Behavior
Some truckers believe other motorists should yield to them because of the massive size of commercial trucks. This kind of behavior can result in serious injury or death.
If you were seriously injured by a reckless or negligent truck driver, you may be able to file a lawsuit and fight for the compensation you need to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and any other damages you may have incurred. Our truck accident attorneys at Foster & Sear have worked with thousands of victims since we first opened our doors, and we are ready and waiting to use the experience we've gained to help you prepare a plan of action that best suits your needs.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of an accident or injury, please contact us today. Call (800) 631-5908. We also offer a free consultation for accident victims.

Just a quick update to say that I have completed the Annapurna Circuit all 280km of it. In 15 days on the trail, I have crossed the Thorung La Pass at 5416m and in the final 2 days of the trek I climbed 1600 vertical metres one day, then descended 1800m then next along with 3280 stone steps my knees were shot and I'm a bit tired.
Having said that the trek goes through the most amazing landscape and met some lovely locals. Ive had my dinner in their kitchens, along the way I got to see 3 of the worlds highest peaks over 8000m, and countless other high mountains some of which have never been climbed or named. I would recommend the Annapurna Circuit to anyone who is into multi-day hikes. But be warned it is demanding!
I'm now back in Kathmandu after an 8 hour bumpy and dusty bus journey. Time to rest up for a few days before I'm off to the Khumbu (Everest) region for 22 days of trekking.
I'll write a full trip report when I have time, but here are some photos.

So based on the reason one ought to write the letter accordingly. On the flip side, if you refuse to compose a letter that might be an issue too.

If your company might require a wellness program, ask yourself whether the reason is because it hired many men and women who have unhealthy lifestyles, causing huge healthcare expenses. As you entertain various companies the far better prospects will operate to obtain an understanding of what is significant to you and what you need so you receive a return on the investment you've made in your computer systems.

While it's true that sometimes once you get hired for a specific job, you can discover that the work is somewhat different than the work description. Finding a great job is definitely an extremely hard endeavor.

Q: Append as array inside array I have an object that looks like this, and I can push data using below method. Also I initialize the types data.
myObj = {
    1: ["a", "b", "c"],
    2: ["c", "d", "e"],
}

data: {
   types: {}
},

methods: {

  pushValue(key, value) {
      var obj = this.types

      if (obj.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
          var idx = $.inArray(value, obj[key]);
          if (idx == -1) {
             obj[key].push([value]);
          }
      } else {
          this.$set(obj, key, [value]);
      }
  },
}

It works fine.

However, now I want my object to look like this:
myObj = {
    1: {
        "a": [
           [],[]
        ],
        "b": [
           [],[]
        ],
       }
 }

How can I modify my append function to append the elements like this?

A: I'm just answering this according my assumption of what @senty is trying to do:
pushValue is a method that takes numbers as keys and characters as values and save them into this.types, and whenever pushValue is called, this.types is gonna have a property key storing an object with value as its key, which stores an array containing an empty array. If That array (the one that contains arrays) already exists, another empty is gonna appended to that array. And eventually this.types will look like myObj
Hence, pushValue should look like this:

const app = new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    types: {}
  },
  methods: {
    pushValue(key, value) {
      if (this.types.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        if (this.types[key].hasOwnProperty(value)) {
          const orgValue = this.types[key][value];
          orgValue.push([]);
          this.$set(this.types[key], value, orgValue);
        } else {
          this.$set(this.types[key], value, [[]]);
        }
      } else {
        this.$set(this.types, key, {
          [value]: [ [] ]
        });
      }
    }
  }
});

pushValue(key, value)

    <button v-on:click="pushValue(1, 'a')">(1, 'a')</button>
    <button v-on:click="pushValue(1, 'b')">(1, 'b')</button>
    <button v-on:click="pushValue(1, 'c')">(1, 'c')</button>
    <button v-on:click="pushValue(2, 'a')">(2, 'a')</button>
    <button v-on:click="pushValue(2, 'b')">(2, 'b')</button>
    <button v-on:click="pushValue(2, 'c')">(2, 'c')</button>

{{ types }}

    render:function(){
        return (

            <select className="browser-default" ref="operationsDropDown" id="operations-drop-down">
              <option value="adjust-price-multiply"> Adjust Price (Multiply) </option>

                 {this.renderAdjustmentRows()}

        );
    }
});

ReactDOM.render(<DynamicFields />,document.getElementById('container'));

A: The problem is you are not providing index to the removeOperation function. Before you send the index your components should have the index. So pass it using index props as follows:
renderAdjustmentRows:function(){
   fields = this.state.operations.map((operation,index) =>{
          if(operation == "adjust-price-multiply"){
                return (<PriceMultiply key={index} index={index} removeOperation={this.removeOperation} />);
          }else if(operation == "adjust-price-add"){
                 return (<PriceAdd key={index} index={index} removeOperation={this.removeOperation} />);
          }else if(operation == "filter-products-includes"){
                  return (<IncludeProducts key={index} index={index} removeOperation={this.removeOperation} />);
          }else if(operation == "filter-products-excludes"){
                  return (<ExcludeProducts key={index} index={index} removeOperation={this.removeOperation} />);
          }
    });

And send the index props from  remove button click of each Dynamic component. For that replace all the remove buttons with
 <button className="btn btn-danger" onClick={this.props.removeOperation.bind(null, this.props.index)} > Remove </button>

And you'll get what you want.
Complete code is available at https://jsfiddle.net/KishoreBarik/f8h3c82m/

A: Probably because in this bit of code:
removeOperation:function(index){
  var operations = this.state.operations;
  operations.splice(index,1);
  this.setState({operations:operations});
},

You are directly mutating state, as follows:
var operations = this.state.operations; // operations now points to array in state
operations.splice(index,1);             // splice mutates operations directly
// effect of these 2 statements is the same as
this.state.operations.splice(index,1);

You need to make a COPY of the state array first.
If you change the first line to:
var operations = this.state.operations.slice();

You should be fine..

A: For the removal issue: removeOperation() has not been given the index but an object. When you call it, give it an the right index

Within a few minutes, I've got one hand grasped gingerly on the zipper. The other is holding the bag's handle in place. I unzip it slowly, as if performing surgery. There's none of the pressure of a real life battlefield, but the potential humiliation of having to start all over again in front of the film crew is enough motivation to it right this time.
RE2 Robotics' (pronounced "Re-Squared") control scheme takes some getting used to. Each arm serves as an analog to the limbs on the military robot a few feet in front of me, but the control scheme and the exacting nature of every arm movement present a bit a learning curve. After a few frustrating misses, however, I manage to save face in front of room full of onlookers silently judging my robotic manipulation skills.
The Pittsburgh-based Carnegie Mellon spinoff has been developing the control scheme for about a decade now — around two-thirds of its existence. It's the result of the growing movement of biomimicry in the robotics field, as more and more engineers look toward nature for inspiration. In the case of Re2's Robotic Manipulation System, it was right in front of them the whole time. What better scheme could there be for controlling robotic grippers than our own arms?
The control system sits atop a tripod, with two grips mounted on bars that curl over top like bicycle racing handlebars. Each grip has series of buttons controlled by the thumb. It's those last few, which control the robot's motion and camera position, that take the most getting used to. But the RE2 employee who operates the robot for the sake of our video demo assures us that within a couple of hours, the whole thing becomes second nature.
And that's the motivating principle behind the system: a control scheme that closely mimics our own movement. The scheme is designed to operate the rover's arms in some of the high stress environments, from decommissioning roadside bombs to handling harmful materials in the wake of a major disaster like 2011's Fukushima accident. It's the third "D" in the "dull, dirty and dangerous" paradigm roboticists inevitably raise when discussing the importance of replacing certain jobs with automation.
Over the last decade, off-the-shelf Xbox and Playstation controllers have become a fairly standard solution for controlling these sorts of robots around the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. They've proven a decent makeshift solution. After all, many enlisted troops fit firmly within a key demographic for the consoles and are likely already familiar with their controls.
But the systems could benefit from more direct method in high pressure situations. So, a decade ago, Re2 began to develop its current control scheme, one it believed would be even more intuitive than a gaming console by directly mimicking human movement. The company's system includes two modular arms that affix to a military robot like Endeavor's (formerly iRobot) Packbot, along with the tripod-mounted control scheme.
The operator controls the system from a safe distance by viewing the robot's camera feed from a remote laptop. The company is also developing a set up that utilizes a VR-style headset to complete the avatar-like scenario, similar to the system that many drone makers have employed.
RE2 sees military applications as just the first step for the system. And it's a logical place to start. Like so many robotics startups, military contracts are what kept the company afloat for many of its formative years. But while Pedersen concedes that such a control system could be utilized for hand to hand combat, he prefers, unsurprisingly, to focus on the positive.

Dart-activated disconnect sub takes new approach to stuck pipe
More than 30 engineers from operator and service companies were invited to witness the first full rig test of the HyPR HoleSaver in Aberdeen in May. The full-strength sub was cut in 112 minutes.
The HyPR HoleSaver provides a clean cut, which can be beneficial for the operator if it decides to reenter the wellbore with a secondary fishing assembly to pull it out. The operator also may decide to go around it with an immediate sidetrack. Churchill Drilling Tools offers two darts to accommodate both actions.
Churchill Drilling Tools has launched the HyPR HoleSaver, a full-strength disconnect sub, at the 2015 Offshore Europe in Aberdeen, UK. In May, the company invited more than 30 engineers from operator and service companies to witness the tool's first full rig test, also in Aberdeen. The full-strength sub was cut in just 112 minutes, said Mike Churchill, Director for Churchill Drilling Tools.
When stuck pipe occurs, the HyPR dart can be pumped down to activate the sub, directing a milling jet at velocities of more than 300 ft/sec to make the cut. The darts are capable of producing more than 1,000 hydraulic horsepower, but require no special handling.
"Conventionally they would deploy explosives," Mr Churchill said, noting that the time required to mobilize explosives and associated specialist personnel could be significant depending on location of the rig. "Whereas with these subs deployed in the string, if they do get stuck, they can pump one of those darts down. Within a couple of hours they could be free and begin the remedial action."
Mr Churchill emphasized the full-strength aspect of the tool. "Any user's first instinct must be that we've weakened it, that there is some weakness in it so we can break it, but that is not the case… There is absolutely nothing weak about the sub, and that is what we believe to be a first for this type of tool because it is a completely standard connection. We haven't done anything to the tool in any way to compromise its integrity."
Compared with explosives, which generates a very high energy for a very short period of time, the HyPR HoleSaver takes a different approach to stuck pipes. The force being generated "gradually works its way through the piece of metal and pulls it free. We're doing a very strong force for a reasonably significant period of time versus an explosive force for an instant," he said.
Since the first rig test in May, the company has seen growing interest from operators in the US Gulf of Mexico, Mr Churchill said. It's already been run in the North Sea by three operators. "We've only had it available for a month or two, so I think this is a really exciting start. Some operators are experiencing quite a big cost risk for getting stuck, and this potentially can save them a lot of time and money."
HyPR and HoleSaver are trademarked terms of Churchill Drilling Tools.

ABSURDIS EXTREME // Case Study #1,048 [11/9/2093] by B.A. Loney
This is the story of an Act of Parliament. Yes, the one entitled 'Acts of Parliament Numbering and Citation Act 2020 (665 & 666 Mork IV c 69)'. It was passed in January of 2020 to universal acclaim that was then quickly superseded by universal condemnation. Poor Act of Parliament. It never stood a chance, but that's political opinion for you. It can be rather like the changing moods of a fickle lover.
The Act was intended to provide a clear, strict, and definitive system for the numeration and marshalling of the endless streams of papers that were funneled through the halls of Parliament every day. Over the course of history, the archive from which it all originated had devolved into a heavy, stodgy mess. If someone wanted to find a paper for evening question time, they needed to begin searching within its bloated confines the morning before. Not terribly efficient.
So, all the politicos and their toadying lackeys got together for the forty-fifth sitting of Parliament where they indeed sat and talked a lot. They orated with chests so puffed out that you could stick them with a pin and watch the bodies fly about the chamber with untoward farting noises. But no one dared as this sitting business was mortally serious business. And so they were able to debate at length, make forceful points, to bluster, carp, badger and bully until a consensus was reached—a complicated one to be sure, but a consensus nonetheless.
And you know what? They did it. Sometimes democracy actually works. Nuts, but true! They managed to invent a precise and thorough system of numeration that could be used to categorise any case. From ordering a new marble night stool with luxury seat heating for the Queen to the scrappage of rotten surmullet in remote, artisanal fishing communities—everything that could be thought of would be accounted for. A mere glance at the number atop any paper would make things abundantly clear, and not only explain who issued it, but also where and when, and what question or problem it touched upon. The system of numbering was so very plain and easy to follow that it needed to be described in agonising detail in a two hundred page appendix to the Act—you know, so there wasn't any ambiguity.
But therein laid the rub. In order to understand this new Act of Parliament that was alleged to be as clear as the woodpecker on Pinocchio's nose, one needed the two hundred page appendix to the Act. But if one was not already in possession of this then one might as well give up and pursue a career in dog grooming instead. You see, the old categorisation system had already been defunded in order to fund the new categorisation system, but the new categorisation system could not yet be fully utilised as no one could fully understand it, and it was far too easy to get lost in two hundred pages of tortuously confusing instructions. Of course, the confused party could have asked the committee that drafted the new Act for clarification, but—as ill luck would have it—they had already left for a three month vacation in Honolulu. After all, such an important and prominent occasion like the adoption of a new Act required some serious partying.
Anyway, the new Act gave ten business days for the auditing, ordering and proper renumbering of all legal papers that had ever been issued in the history of anything ever. So, in two weeks' time, any remaining papers with incorrect identification numbers would become null and void. And they would need to be transferred to one of the aforementioned remote fishing communities to be used as tinder to power the furnaces that ran the machines that ensured the continual scrappage of rotten surmullet. So… can you predict what happened in that two weeks? That's right. The contents of that great Archive took a remote journey into the warm embrace of the furnaces. And, of course, no new papers could come into effect without proper numbering because the two hundred page appendix to the new Act of Parliament could not be correctly interpreted. The system of legislation ground to a halt. Parliament was paralysed. Anarchy reigned supreme.
When the politicos and their toadying lackeys realised what had happened, they tried to scrap the Act. But it was not to be. Why? Because for this they had to issue a new Act that… yes, needed to be properly numbered—which it couldn't be. Oh, my giddy aunt! And then a month passed before a janitor found the abandoned and half-chewed Act in the ministerial games room. It had been used to prop up one corner of the mahogany snooker table, its tatty pages even less scrutable than before. The politicos had long vacated Parliament by this point. They'd already joined the committee that had drafted the Act in Honolulu, and all had drunk themselves to death. And, strangely, despite there no longer being a rule of law, the world was better off.

Dhaka: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) leader Salauddin Quader Chowdhury and Jamaat-e-Islami secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid were hanged on Sunday for the crimes against humanity they committed in 1971 to thwart the independence of Bangladesh.
Dhaka Central Jail Superintendent Jahangir Kabir confirmed that both were executed at 12.55 a.m. (local time), bdnews24.com reported.
With Sunday's execution, Bangladesh has hanged four war crimes convicts so far.
Jamaat leader Abdul Quader Molla was the first to walk the gallows in December 2013 while another leader of the same party Mohammad Kamaruzzaman was executed in April this year.
Chowdhury and Mujahid were executed after their petitions for presidential clemency was turned down earlier.
On Wednesday (November 18), the Supreme Court scrapped their petitions for a review of their death sentences.
Copies of the verdicts were published and sent to the jail on Thursday (November 19). The same day, the prison authorities read the verdicts out to the convicted war criminals.
The only hurdle for the executions was a possible presidential clemency, which they had sought on Saturday, but in the end, that plea was turned down.
Former BNP MP Salauddin Quader, who had also served as a minister during HM Ershad's regime, was sentenced to death by the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on October 1, 2013.
The verdict depicted how he had led the Pakistani army to murder and loot in 1971, and how he had abducted freedom fighters and pro-liberation people, taking them to his hilltop residence in Chittagong and torturing them.
Mujahid, a minister in Khaleda Zia's coalition cabinet, planned and executed mass murders including those of intellectuals, scientists, academics and journalists in 1971.
On July 17, 2013, the ICT gave him the death sentence after he was proven guilty of mass killings and torture of Hindus during the Liberation War.
Both of them appealed against the verdicts, but the Supreme Court upheld their death sentences.
Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha headed the four-member Appellate Division bench that, on June 16, gave its verdict on Mujahid, who was the former commander of Al-Badr, the militia raised by Pakistan to crush the Bengali struggle for independence.
The same bench delivered the verdict on Chowdhury's appeal against capital punishment on July 29.
The two full verdicts were published on September 30 after the judges signed them.
The ICT issued the death warrants the next day and sent them to the prison. The warrants were read out to the convicts.
Both convicts then filed a petition for a review of their death sentences, which was rejected by the Chief Justice led appeals bench.

Wojna syjamsko-kambodżańska 1714-1717 - konflikt militarny o tron kambodżański, w którym udział wzięły siły z Kambodży, Wietnamu i Syjamu.

Gdy w roku 1714 nowy król kambodżański Prea Srey Thomea pokonany przez swojego wuja Keo Fa (z pomocą Wietnamczyków i Laotańczyków), zmuszony został do ucieczki do Syjamu, zwrócił się o pomoc do miejscowego króla Thai Sa (1681-1733) w nadziei odzyskania tronu. Król syjamski wyraził zgodę, jednym z jego celów było bowiem osłabienie wpływów wietnamskich w regionie.

W latach 1715-1716 król Thai Sa wysyłał dwukrotnie niewielkie armie do Kambodży, bezskutecznie starając się pokonać siły Keo Fa. W roku 1717 Syjamczycy powrócili ze znaczniejszymi już siłami składającymi się zarówno z armii lądowej jak i jednostek morskich. Armia lądowa skierowała się w kierunku północnym na Siem Reap, natomiast oddziały morskie pokonując Zatokę Tajlandzką wkroczyły od południa do Kambodży. W rejonie Banteay Meas Syjamczycy zostali powstrzymani przez oddziały wietnamskie a cała flotylla zmuszona została do odwrotu, w trakcie którego wiele jednostek syjamskich zatonęło.

Tymczasem operująca na północy armia lądowa natrafiła na niewielki opór, kierując się na stolicę Udong. Tutaj Syjamczycy porozumieli się z Keo Fa, któremu udzielili poparcia politycznego pod warunkiem uznania zwierzchnictwa Syjamu. W następnych latach Kambodża stała się punktem spornym w polityce Syjamu i Wietnamu. Obalony król Prea Srey Thomea nie powrócił już więcej na tron kambodżański.

The Thinkpad X220, the best $50 laptop
By Miguel on Monday, July 13, 2020
I bought this X220 for $50 a year ago at my local computer salvage dealer. Similar models currently sell for over $200 on Ebay so it was a very good deal. This computer is 9 years old, but still just as usable as when it was new with a nearly $2000 price tag. This X220 …
Skyfall: A disappointing highly rated movie
By Miguel on Thursday, May 28, 2020
I grew up loving the Bond franchise. I started with the Goldeneye N64 game which lead me to watch all of the movies. Which was easy back then because there were 007 movie marathons on basic cable channels all the time. I heard about Skyfall many years ago, but I didn't see it at the …

Algonquin community remembers the women murdered at École Polytechnique
ByVanessa Myre
Thirty years after one of the most horrific shootings in Canadian history, the Algonquin College community came together to remember.
Many students at Algonquin weren't even born in 1989 when 14 women were murdered in cold blood in an engineering classroom at Montreal's École Polytechnique because they were women.
Sarah Crawford, the college's sexual violence prevention & harm reduction coordinator, organized the event to remember those lost.
"Although this happened 30 years ago, the rates of gender violence have remained the almost same," said Crawford. "So, it's really important that even though this one example of violence was so long ago, that we still remember that every day there is gender violence still happening."
Algonquin's president Claude Brulé also attended this event to show his support.
"It's important for us to remember what happened, and what still happens today with gender-based violence." Brulé said, "The need to treat both genders equally well and providing safety is important."
In the Student Commons, Crawford set up three tables for the event.
One table, displayed the pictures of those lost in the shooting.
The second table had a display created by the Creative Sunflower for the event. The arrangement on this table had 14 white roses with little pearls set on the thorns. Each flower represented each of the lives lost while the pearls symbolized the 30-year anniversary.
The last table had framed facts about gender-based violence alongside puzzle pieces for people could colour.
"We're all part of a piece in ending gender violence," said Crawford. "Once every puzzle piece is filled out, we'll put them together to make one big puzzle."
After everyone gathered in Student Commons, the pictures of the victims were handed out to 14 volunteers wearing #Ibelieveyou t-shirts before they began their march throughout the college.
They were escorted by drummers, one of whom was Jackie Tenute, the college's Aborginal counsellor. She wore a jingle dress to represent the missing and murdered Indigenous women.
"The red jingle is a healing dress," said Tenute, during her speech at the event. "It represents the violence that happens and the healing that can take place."
Many stopped by the tables, asking what they could do to help show their support.
"I heard about it on the website, and contacted Sarah to see how I could help." said Vanessa Hendren, an event volunteer. "It's a good cause."
This event is one of many in the Lighthouse Project's effort to reach out to students on issues such as sexual and gender-based violence.

ABC News Partners with Jaunt VR To Bring News In Immersive VR
John Marco Oscillada October 4, 2015 ABC News Partners with Jaunt VR To Bring News In Immersive VR2015-10-04T10:37:16+00:00 VR Video Production No Comment
Soon in the nearest future, the way we see news will be changed by virtual reality – by putting you right into the heart of the news itself.
ABC News announced that it will be producing virtual reality content through a strategic partnership with Jaunt VR, one of the biggest VR content production companies specializing in 360-degree content. Thanks to this collaboration, ABC News has added virtual reality to its news reporting under a new department called ABC News VR.
ABC News VR's Inside Syria. Photo: ABC News
ABC News commences its dive into the virtual reality realm with an immersive 360-degree VR experience taking viewers inside the embattled city of Damascus, Syria. The experience will focus on the endangered antiquities contained within the ISIS-besieged city as an additional content to the feature segment called Inside Syria. This experience will aptly be named Inside Syria VR. Viewers will be able to download the experience through the ABC news website or the Jaunt VR app, which is available on both iOS and Android mobile devices.
The VR news clip was produced with the help of Jaunt VR. Jaunt VR has previously partnered with a handful of advertisers to create the pioneer batch of YouTube's 360-degree video ads. This is in line with Google's long-term agreement with Jaunt VR to partner in producing immersive 360-degree content.
Using a special 360-degree mount with 16 cameras attached, ABC News reported on how city officials are working to preserve historical artifacts that are under threat of being destroyed during the current conflict. Images from the cameras are stitched together to create the 360-degree view.
The VR news segment, which is available now at ABC News's website, can be viewed on desktop computers as well as on smartphone-connected VR headsets such as the Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard using the Jaunt VR app.
News groups such as ABC and CNN have begun experimenting with virtual reality to become the new delivery medium for news content. It is expected that soon, more news organizations will take part in the adoption of VR.

The genetically engineered cold sore virus made by Amgen Inc. is an injectable drug, and will be initially only used on melanomas that cannot be removed surgically. The company said a single course would cost about $65,000 depending on the length of the treatment.
The most common type of cancer in the U.S. is skin cancer, with melanoma being the leading cause of skin cancer-related deaths. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light is the most common cause of melanomas. According to the FDA, there will be approximately 74,000 Americans diagnosed with melanoma, with almost 10,000 of them dying in 2015 alone.
Imlygic is a genetically modified live oncolytic herpes virus therapy, and will be injected directly into the melanoma lesions, where it replicates inside cancer cells until the membranes, or outer layers, of the cancer cells burst. While this is happening, the gene snippet produces a protein that stimulates an immune response that kills the melanoma cells in the tumor and elsewhere in the body.
According to the FDA, the treatment will consist of a series of injections. After the first treatment, a second injection will be administered three weeks later, and then there will be additional treatments every two weeks for at least six months, unless other treatment is required or until there are no remaining injectable lesions to treat.
The clinical study participants found that fatigue, chills, fever, nausea, flu-like symptoms, and pain at the injection site were the most common side effects. A herpes virus infection can also occur, as the Imlygic drug is a modified live oncolytic herpes virus therapy. Knowing this, people who are pregnant or individuals who have suppressed immune systems should not be given the treatment.


Englishman Tramaine Watkins releases his freshman album, Heavy Balance, and we had the delight of checking it out. From a guitar standpoint, this has been a shredtastic treat! Formally trained, his advanced knowledge of composition, technique, and music theory shine through early on in the recording. At times, the music is neoclassically tinged just enough to pay homage to the genre, and we are led through what appears at first glance to be a listening experience much like an amusement park ride.
From the first track, we find a musically balanced and well produced tome of sounds. Although no live drummer or bassist existed for this record, the performances are convincing enough that the casual listener would never know a live rhythm section wasn't backing Tramaine. And even the guitar amp used throughout was virtual! This recording should be used by Kemper in order to showcase just how insanely good their profiling is, as well as Ibanez. Ibanez guitars were used in abundance throughout. We question how this man is not yet an official Ibanez artist!
As much of a one-man band as Tramaine Watkins is, no man is an island unto himself. Enlisting production help by none other than musical virtuoso, Alex Argento, we are spoiled with a perfectly balanced production, crafty keyboard parts appropriately represented in the mix, and what seems to be insanely perfect melodies, rhythms and lead guitar lines serving as a benchmark of "Get THIS good someday" excellence. And if Argento's presence isn't exciting enough, his Icefish bandmate and renowned shredder, Marco Sfogli, makes a guest appearance as well!
All types of high energy instrumental guitar records have been made for decades. Some good, some great, while others missed the mark for us. We place Heavy Balance in the favorites category, in part due to its approach, welcoming song structures, unforgettable hummable melodies, and most importantly, ferocious guitar playing delivered in support of the song.
The overall vibe of this recording is as one would expect. Part horror or action movie soundtrack, part soundscape, part good old-fashioned rock and roll, this high-quality production welcomes the listener, as opposed to beating the listener over the head with Watkins' more than ample skillset. Song per song, just as you're drawn in, they get you! This adds to the vibe, which is so hard to translate in this genre of music. No one will ever be found on a dancefloor grooving to instrumental guitar shred—unless perhaps the dance floor is in a sanitarium. However, the vibe of this recording is there, and its succulent. The scariest take-away here is that this is his FIRST album. Watch out for Tramaine. We have a feeling you'll be hearing a lot more from him soon.

It can be quite tricky to get Mapnik2 working within virtualenv, so it may be simpler/better to install invar in the global site-packages.
ivtile renders continous tiles of the map, such as those used by Google Maps, Open Street Map, or any other "slippy" map provider.
ivframe renders discontinous frames of the map centered on locations, such as an individual map for the area around each of a hundred bus stops.
ivs3 pushes a collection of tiles (or anything, really) into an Amazon S3 bucket using concurrent connections (so its super-fast).
Note: some versions of TileMill (0.10.1) print debug statements to STDOUT which can mess up the output of this conversion. If you see a line at the top of your output XML file like [millstone] finished processing '/path/to/my/file' then prefix your compile command with NODE_ENV=foo which will disable these statements.
Much of this application is derived from selections of the Open Street Map project–notably generate_tiles.py.
invar was developed to address the needs of both @tribapps and the #hacktyler project.
Flag the new version for building on Read the Docs.
Wait for the documentation build to finish.
Flag the new release as the default documentation version.

Now, if pass monthly level update in percentage for 'Col_1' and 'Col_2', say
{Date: ['01/01/2021','02/01/2021','03/01/2021','04/01/2021','05/01/2021','06/01/2021',
        '07/01/2021','08/01/2021','09/01/2021','10/01/2021','11/01/2021','12/01/2021',],
 'Col_1': [20,20,20,20,30,30,40,40,20,20,20,20],
 'Col_2': [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,10,10]}

After performing this my desired out looks like this for monthly change

Similarly, I want to update my data on Quarterly and Yearly Level too. I am able to do the Yearly update, here is my code. Please help me with MONTHY AND QUARTERLY updation based on the inputs.
Thank you!!
dic = {'col_1':10,'col_2':-5)
year = 2021
def update_df(dic,df,year):
    df = df[df['date'].dt.year == year]
    df = (df+df.select_dtypes(include = 'number').mul(pd.Series(dic)/100)).combine_first(df)[df.columns]
    return df

I am trying like this
def update_df(dic,df,year,choice):
    if choice == annual:
        df = df[df['date'].dt.year == year]
        df = (df+df.select_dtypes(include =
'number').mul(pd.Series(dic)/100)).combine_first(df)[df.columns]
    elif choice == quarterly :
        df["quarter"] = df.date.dt.quarter
        df = (df+df.select_dtypes(include =
        'number').mul(pd.Series(dic)/100)).combine_first(df)[df.columns]
    else choice == monthly :
        df["month"] = df.date.dt.month
        df = (df+df.select_dtypes(include =
        'number').mul(pd.Series(dic)/100)).combine_first(df)[df.columns]
    return df

A: There certainly maybe a cleaner approach but the following will work and provide a single function to do either yearly, quarterly or monthly updates as follows:
import pandas as pd
from collections import namedtuple

# Control tuple defining the date parameters for changing dataframe
DateControl = namedtuple('DateControl', ['Year', 'Quarter', 'Month'])

def updateFrame(df:pd.DataFrame, pcnt_val: float, **args) -> pd.DataFrame:
    # Function to update a specified year, quarter of Month by pcnt_val amount
    dtecol = args.pop('DTECOL', None)
    colList = args.pop('Columns', [])
    control = DateControl(args.pop('Year', None),
                          args.pop('Quarter', None),
                          args.pop('Month', None)
                         )

    def EvalDate(ds: pd.Series, row: int, selection: DateControl) -> bool:
        # Evaluate the truth of a date based on control arguments
        yr = False
        qtr = False
        mnth = False
        if selection.Year is None:
            yr = True
        else:
            if ds[row].year == selection.Year:
                yr = True
        if selection.Quarter is None:
            qtr = True
        else:
            if ds[row].quarter == selection.Quarter:
                qtr = True
        if selection.Month is None:
            mnth = True
        else:
            if ds[row].month == selection.Month:
                mnth = True
        return yr and qtr and mnth

    # Use control to update all cols named in colList
    mask = list(EvalDate(df[dtecol], x, control) for x in range(len(df[dtecol])))
    mod = list((1.0 + pcnt_val) if x else 1.0 for x in mask)
    print(mask)
    print(mod)
    for c in colList:
         df[c] = list(df.iloc[x][c] * mod[x] for x in range(len(df[c])))
    return df

The updateFrame function takes two positional arguments:
. df - the dataframe to be updated
. pcnt_val - the percentage to be added to the current value
The function also takes some keyword variables to include:

*

*DTECOL - which is the Name of the df column containing dates

*Columns - a list of column headings within the Df to be changed

*Year - a year value or None if all years are to be changed

*Quarter - a specific quarter integer 1 thru 4 inclusive or None

*Month -  a specific month to be changed or None

Applying this function to your dataframe df as follows:
dg = updateFrame(df, .25, DTECOL='Date', Columns=['Col_1', 'Col_2'], Year=2021, Quarter=3)

Yields:
    Date    Col_1   Col_2   Col_3   Col_4   Col_5
0   2021-01-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
1   2021-02-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
2   2021-03-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
3   2021-04-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
4   2021-05-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
5   2021-06-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
6   2021-07-01  12.5    25.0    10  20  10
7   2021-08-01  12.5    25.0    10  20  10
8   2021-09-01  12.5    25.0    10  20  10
9   2021-10-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
10  2021-11-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10
11  2021-12-01  10.0    20.0    10  20  10

Given that you would like to provide updates for all 4 quarters in one call this is how I would do it:
add new function:
def updateByQuarter(df:pd.DataFrame, changes: list, **args) -> pd.DataFrame:
    #  Given a quarterly change list of the form tuple(qtrid, chgval) Update the dataframe
    for chg in changes:
        args['Quarter'] = chg[0]
        df updateFrame(df, chg[1], **args)
    return df

Then create a list of changes by quarter
# List of tuples defining the quarter and percent change
qtrChg = [(1, 0.02),(2, 0.035),(3, -0.018),(4, 0.125)]

The use:
df = updateByQuarter(df, [(1, 0.02), (2, 0.04), (3, -0.02), (4, 0.15)], DTECOL='Date', Columns=['Col_1', 'Col_2'])

This yields:
         Date  Col_1  Col_2  Col_3  Col_4  Col_5
0  2021-01-01   10.2   20.4     10     20     10
1  2021-02-01   10.2   20.4     10     20     10
2  2021-03-01   10.2   20.4     10     20     10
3  2021-04-01   10.4   20.8     10     20     10
4  2021-05-01   10.4   20.8     10     20     10
5  2021-06-01   10.4   20.8     10     20     10
6  2021-07-01    9.8   19.6     10     20     10
7  2021-08-01    9.8   19.6     10     20     10
8  2021-09-01    9.8   19.6     10     20     10
9  2021-10-01   11.5   23.0     10     20     10
10 2021-11-01   11.5   23.0     10     20     10
11 2021-12-01   11.5   23.0     10     20     10

A: **pandas captures 4 general time related concepts:
Date times: A specific date and time with timezone support. Similar to datetime.datetime from the standard library.
Time deltas: An absolute time duration. Similar to datetime.timedelta from the standard library.
Time spans: A span of time defined by a point in time and its associated frequency.
Date offsets: A relative time duration that respects calendar arithmetic. Similar to dateutil.relativedelta.relativedelta from the dateutil package.**
