Yeastie Boys are a Wellington-based brewing duo (without their own brewery) who have been amongst the leading innovators during the recent rise of craft brewing in New Zealand. The brainchild of Stu McKinlay and Sam Possenniskie - two of New Zealand's most prominent beer activists - the Yeastie Boys have spent the last seven years picking up trophies, receiving critical acclaim from around the world, and proving to even the most cynical beer geek that contract brewing really can result in great beer.
The Yeastie Boys - Stu McKinlay and Sam Possenniskie are the dynamic duo of New Zealand's craft beer scene.
They burst onto the beer landscape with two trophies for their flagship porter Pot Kettle Black at BrewNZ 2009 and have remained firmly ensconced there ever since.
The Yeastie Boys say that they stay ahead of the game by being food and drink lovers first and foremost and postmodern craft beer cult heroes on the side.
Founder, and occasional grower of outrageous beards, Sam Possenniskie is the rock of Yeastie Boys. For every fire started by Stu, Sam is on the lookout to see if a moderate dousing needs to take place. Sam's 20-plus years in the banking sector, and MBA to boot, sees him perfectly schooled to oversee the finances, logistics, and commercial wheeling and dealing. He is a safe and trusted pair of hands, has a well respected palate, and is known to surprise people with fine public speaking when Stu lets him get a word in.

Q: How do C# threads cause memory leaks when they already finished? Here's my code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading;
namespace testt
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static List<TestObject> testjobs = new List<TestObject> ();
        public static void Main (string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine ("Hello World!");
            addTask (); //put a breakpoint here
            Thread.Sleep (5000);
            deleteObj ();
            while (true) {
                Console.WriteLine ("MAIN STILL EXISTS!");
                Thread.Sleep (1500);
                GC.Collect ();
            }
        }
        public static void addTask()
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
            {
                testjobs.Add (new TestObject ());
                testjobs [i].Start ();
            }
        }

        public static void deleteObj()
        {
            for(int i=0; i<10;i++)
            {
                testjobs [0].dispose ();
                testjobs.RemoveAt (0);
            }
            Console.WriteLine (testjobs.Count);
        }

    }

    public class TestObject
    {

        private bool _isStopRequested;
        private Thread _thread;
        public void Start()
        {
            _thread = new Thread(ThreadRoutine);
            _thread.Start();
        }

        public void Stop()
        {
            _isStopRequested = true;
            if(!_thread.Join(5000))
            {
                _thread.Abort();
            }
        }

        public void dispose(){
            this.Stop ();
            this._thread.Abort ();
            this._thread=null;
        }

        private void ThreadRoutine()
        {
            //while(!_isStopRequested) //THIS CAUSES THE MEMORY LEAK!!!
            {
            Thread.Sleep (1);
            }
            Console.WriteLine ("THREAD FINISHED");
        }

        ~TestObject(){
            Console.WriteLine ("===================TESTOBJECT DESTROYED!!===============");
        }
    }
}

If you run it with the //while(!_isStopRequested) uncommented, the TestObject instances will not be destroyed, i.e their destructor methods will not be called.
If you run it as is, then only 4-8 objects will be destroyed, not all 10 of them.
Why does this happen when the threads have fully exited? I checked with the Xamarin debugger and the threads were definitely stopped. If you put a breakpoint in Xamarin at addTask(); then you can see that 10 threads
My only explanation for this is that the thread somehow holds a reference back to their parent object TestObject instance even after they have finished. How can a thread hold a reference to their parent object when the thread has already finished?
Also, if I change Thread.Sleep(1) to Thread.Sleep(5000), the TestObjects also stop being collected.
Also, as it is, only some TestObjects get collected whilst others don't.
Why do these things happen? How can I ensure that ALL the TestObjects get garbage collected by the time the deleteObj() function returns?
EDIT: I just tested the exact same code in Visual Studio (.NET) and all of the objects were garbage collected regardless of whether if that line was commented out or not.
Therefore I now consider this issue to be a Mono-specific problem and there was no memory leak to begin with.

A: Finalizers are not deterministic.  You cannot rely on them being called.
If it is vitally important for your program to clean up the resource in question then you should be explicitly disposing of it, and not relying on a finalizer.
If cleaning up the resource would be nice, but you don't really care all that much if the finializer gets to it or not, then you can choose to not explicitly dispose of the unmanaged resources.
Also note that making a managed object eligible for garbage collection doesn't necessarily mean that it will be garbage collected.  It means it can be collected whenever the collector feels like it.
Finally, recognize that aborting a thread is another unreliable thing to do.  The thread do.  There are a number of ways for a thread that has been requested to abort will not successfully do so, or where it will cause any number of different types of problems when it does.  You should avoid using Thread.Abort unless the thread in question was designed to be aborted, and you have a strong understanding of all of the many possible pitfalls of trying to reason about a program that could throw an exception between any two operations.

>> What is the Best Wood for Bows?
What is the Best Wood for Bows?
The first question that pops up when one finds out that you make bows is "so would you consider the best wood for bows?" Well, that is a challenging question to answer. Usually, I would tell them to go for any wood that is available because really, almost any wood will make a good bow if you design it well.
Woods that you should keep off are softwoods, the likes of pine, spruce, fir, and cedar. They are too weak to stand the stretching and bending.
Also, keep off brittle exotic trees like teak and mahogany. Yes, these woods are hard and strong but they become brittle after some time and snap when bend.
I have tried several kinds of wood (and grass because I have used bamboo as well) and have heard of several others that are good for making bows.
Everyone that uses a bow made from this wood will list it as their top favorite wood for bows in archery. It has good tensile and a super compression strength that balances well. This wood does not even rot when buried.
When some heat is applied to this wood, it bends like a cooked noodle. It is flexible therefore enables it to be made into many bow designs and becomes a great performer even to the newbies.
Its cons, however, are that it is so hard to find and has quite a price tag. It also messes with my sinuses when it is still green.
If you can get bamboo then go for it. First, it is easy to get, I mean easier than Osage orange wood and less expensive.
It needs a bit more work but you can be assured of ending up with a longer lasting bow, just as long as you don't lose it!
Bamboo can be affected by heat, it makes it increase in elasticity. Ancient bow makers like Howard Hill did this when making bows from bamboo.
When making bamboo archery bows, let the outer surface be the belly to balance the set.
The fascinating thing about red oak is that it is easily available and it is cheap. I have never missed red oak in any Lowes and Home Depot that I have walked in.
Red oak is very porous, especially in its earlier growth rings.
It is therefore important to go for a piece with thick late growth rings that are less bristle.
Red oak boards are heavier so if you find a board with thick boards it is not necessary to back it. You can back it anyway because a good bow needs backing, whatever the wood it is made from.
Hickory is the ultimate newbie wood. It is super cheap and easy to find. Hickory tolerates more wood run than any wood I've ever come across and it has a strong tension that makes the perfect backing.
Like bamboo, it has a very strong tinsel strength so to make a bow it needs to be thin. It is good in making a selfbow.
I am yet to try making a selfbow with it because I've heard from several people that it does not break. Hickory, however, disappoints with its high rate of moisture absorption so is does not perform well in a damp environment.
It is just prone to set after some time becoming sluggish. I've had trouble with getting its back off but I discovered putting it in a hot shower for half an hour makes it easy to get it off using a chisel.
I've never used birch for making a bow, but once I lay my hands on this wood, I will make a bow out of it. Too bad it may not be so soon because birch is not common here.
It is found in places where no other bow wood is found, so I might as well mention it for those who are lucky enough to get it.
Most bow makers who have worked with it say that it is weaker than most whitewoods. It has various species, yellow birch being the strongest of all other species.
Once I get it, I will use it for making a flatbow like a pyramid but not mollegabets or D-section English longbows.
This is pronounced as "EE-pay". It is a very strong wood so it allows you to make thinner lighter limbs making a faster bow. It does well when backed with bamboo.
Ipe is used in making decks because of its resistance to decay. That is also a good quality for making bows. Beware if you sneeze when using this wood because some people have allergic reactions when using it.
Wait, I'm not contradicting myself here. Yes, I remember warning you against cedar, but despite the name, this isn't cedar. Its Latin name Juniperous Virginiana will make you understand that is actually a species of juniper.
This is the best wood for making a longbow as it is so brittle and light. Its strong compression and weak tension make it perfect for making English longbow designs with a D-shaped cross-section.
It can be used in making flat bows but in this case, you will need to add sinew for the back to help with the tension problem.
This is my favorite sapling bow wood. I use the prunus americana species. It has a strong tension and compression making it suitable for handling the high crown of saplings.
Dogwood has a high compression. It is dense and very strong. Finding bow quality pieces might be a challenge but once you find some, you will fall for its charm.
That's my top list of the best wood for bows that I recommend for bow making. Hopefully you found good wood for bows in my top nine categories, or maybe you just need to share how great one of them is for more details.
Excuse my lack of experience with some woods that are not found in my locality and just feel free to share it in the comment box below.

Apple Met With Electric Vehicle Startup Canoo in Early 2020, But Talks Fell Apart
Apple held talks with electric vehicle company Canoo in early 2020, according to a new report from The Verge. Apple and Canoo discussed several options from an investment to an acquisition as part of Apple's efforts to further its electric vehicle project.
Canoo has developed a scalable, modular electric vehicle platform that drew Apple's interest. It is designed to support a range of vehicle applications for consumers and businesses, and as described by The Verge, it integrates more of the car's electronics for more flexibility in cabin design.
Canoo was hoping to secure an investment from Apple, but the talks deteriorated and ultimately, Canoo merged with Hennessy Capital Acquisition Corp. IV, raising $300 million to finance the production of the Canoo minivan. Canoo plans to create commercial electric vehicles like delivery vans, plus a consumer-focused van.
In a statement, Canoo said that it does not "openly comment on strategic discussions, relationships, or partnerships, unless deemed appropriate," and Apple also declined to comment on The Verge's story.
Apple moved on to discussions with other manufacturers, and in January, news broke that Apple has entered into negotiations with Hyundai that would see the two companies partnering on electric vehicle manufacturing for Apple's self-driving car. Apple and Hyundai could reach an agreement as soon as March.
Apple is aiming to develop a self-driving car that would be available to consumers, but a recent report from Bloomberg has suggested that the car project is in the early stages and it will be at least half a decade before Apple is ready to launch an electric vehicle.
Coincidentally, Canoo in February 2020 signed a deal with Hyundai Motors and Kia Motors for the development of a new electric vehicle platform, but that appears to be separate from Apple's prospective agreement with Hyundai.

10 Reasons Croatia Is So Hot Right Now
If it seems like everywhere you look someone you know has been to-or is going to-Croatia, you're not alone. A hotspot for the famed Yacht Week, it's become one of the top tourist destinations in the world.
If you're wondering why, check out these 10 reasons to see for yourself.
With nearly 3,600 miles of coastline, Croatia offers no shortage of beautiful locales in which to swim, sun, and relax. If you're looking for a local family beach, you can't go wrong with BaДЌvice, located in popular Split. The expansive, shallow bay full of bathers is surrounded by cafГ©s and shops, making it easy to enjoy a full day out. There are scores of picturesque, laid-back options as well: Zlatni Rat, the distinctive horn-shaped coast on the southern tip of the island of BraДЌ, as well as the Pakleni Islands, which are a short boat ride from Hvar-home to its own gorgeous coastline.
Croatia's climate ranges widely depending on where in the country you are, but on average has dry, warm summers and wet, moderate winters. The Adriatic Coast, specifically, features a Mediterranean climate, so in the summer months you'll want to stock up on sunscreen and water-and those beachside beverages will have an extra refreshing effect.
The Nightlife
Croatia has a party and nightlife scene for just about everyone. The capital city, Zagreb, itself has a wide range of choices, from the lively pub atmosphere at the Bulldog Pub on Bogoviceva in Lower Town to KSet for live music and DJs with a hip crowd. If you're in Split, Po Bota in Old Town offers a chill environment for a casual drink while the Vidilica cafГ© on Marjan Hill lets you take in stunning views while sipping on a wide range of well made drinks. In Dubrovnik, you can keep an eye out for the stars while enjoying a drink at 360В°, one of the country's finest restaurants with a cocktail bar that overlooks the beautiful harbor.
Croatia's culinary revolution has turned it into an international destination for foodies. In Zagreb, Rougemarin is where to go for amazing burgers, while Mundoaka is a street-food paradise that's worth the bustling crowd it attracts. In Split, an excellent traditional, homemade dinner awaits at the family-run Konoba Hvaranin (provided you book ahead). In Dubrovnik, you can't go wrong at the aforementioned 360В° or the stunning ambiance and equally-memorable menu offered at Nautika.
Croatia boasts over two millennia worth of history, much of it incredibly well-preserved. In Split, the 1,700-year-old Diocletian's Palace-essentially the emperor's (massive) retirement home-attracts thousands of daily visitors. While Dubrovnik has turned into one of the top modern tourist destinations in the world, you don't have to strain to see its ancient roots. Constructed in between the 1300 and 1400s, the old City Walls withstood the great earthquake of 1667 and still stand as a time capsule of the city's rich history. Finally, in Pula stands one of the most well-preserved ancient Roman amphitheaters in the world; it's still a venue for live shows, and is frequented by thousands of history buffs daily.
The Snorkeling
Croatia's coastline is beautiful from above the water, but it's just as incredible below, and there are ample places to do a little underwater exploring. Some of the clearest water is just off Cape Kamenjak, just south of Pula. For the super adventurous, the underwater caves and corridors offer unforgettable places to go sightseeing. The water off Mljet Island is home to lots of amazing sea life, and the Odysseus Cave is not only great for getting an up close look below the surface, but leaping off and plunging into the water too.
In Dubrovnik, you might find yourself thinking, "I swear I've seen this before." If you're a fan of Game of Thrones (and let's be honest, who isn't?) that's because you have. The city has been used extensively for scenes in and around King's Landing. You'll see famous spots used for everything from the Battle of Blackwater Bay to Lady Olenna's gardens to the House of the Undying. Tours are available to make sure you get your GOT fix before winter comes.
The Yachts
All throughout the summer, the Adriatic Sea off of Croatia's coastline is dotted with amazing yachts. Of course, there are multiple ways to enjoy this including Yacht Week, now scheduled for multiple periods throughout the summer, which attracts partygoers from around the globe. Or you can opt to splurge on a private excursion of your very own and take in the Croatian views from a slightly different perspective. You can even just look out over the coast from the shore, guessing which celebs and high rollers are in the stunning vessels.
Croatia has fast become one of the can't-miss wine destinations of the world. Both the coastal and interior regions boast a "wine country," with wineries and bars that serve the best local offerings. Istria offers a vice and palette very close to neighboring Italy, while Central and South Dalmatia, specifically Kastela, is the birthplace of the zinfandel grape.
The CafГ©s
Coffee lovers, rejoice! Zagreb is a java paradise, with endless charming and chic spots to get you going. Diva's cafГ© bar is located in an old fashion boutique, and the sidewalk patios at Express Bar are a perfect place to sip on craft offerings of coffee and teas. And the Victory Art CafГ© may momentarily make you think you've somehow teleported into Paris.

But each year, several plant diseases severely limit global production, with 20-30 percent of cocoa pods destroyed preharvest, notes lead author Andrew Fister, postdoctoral scholar in plant science, College of Agricultural Sciences, Penn State.
The researchers report the study results in Frontiers in Plant Science, which are thought to be the first to demonstrate the feasibility of using cutting-edge CRISPR technology to improve Theobroma cacao.
CRISPR stands for 'clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.' It is a way to modify an organism's genome by precisely delivering a DNA-cutting enzyme, Cas9, to a targeted region of DNA. The resulting change can delete or replace specific DNA pieces, thereby promoting or disabling certain traits.
Previous work in cacao identified a gene, known as TcNPR3, that suppresses the plant's disease response. The researchers hypothesized that using CRISPR-Cas9 to knock out this gene would result in enhanced disease resistance.
To test their hypothesis, they used Agrobacterium — a plant pathogen modified to remove its ability to cause disease — to introduce CRISPR-Cas9 components into detached cacao leaves. Subsequent analysis of treated tissue found deletions in 27 percent of TcNPR3 copies. When infected with Phytopthera tropicalis, a naturally occurring pathogen of cacao and other plants, the treated leaves showed greater resistance to the disease. The results suggested that the mutation of only a fraction of the copies of the targeted gene may be sufficient to trigger downstream processes, resulting in systemic disease resistance in the plant.
This research builds on more than 30 years of biotechnology research aimed at building a better cacao tree, according to senior author Mark Guiltinan, professor of plant molecular biology and leader of Penn State's endowed cocoa research program.
In addition to providing a new tool to accelerate breeding, CRISPR-Cas9 technology can help deliver insights into basic biology by offering a method to efficiently assess gene function, the researchers say.
There may be thousands of genes involved in disease resistance, Fister adds. "We want to evaluate as many as we can," he says.
"Any production increases in the last 20 years have been mostly due to putting more land into production," says Maximova, who co-directs the cacao research program. "But land, water, fertilizer and other inputs are limited. To enhance sustainability, we need plants that are more vigorous and disease resistant and that produce more and better-quality beans.
"This study provides a 'proof of concept' that CRISPR-Cas9 technology can be a valuable tool in the effort to achieve these goals," she says.

Turkish banks apply to competition board to take over 55 percent of Türk Telekom
Turkey's Akbank, Garanti and İş Bank have applied to the competition authority to take over 55 percent of Türk Telekom after Oger Telecom failed to make three payments on a $4.75 billion loan it secured to acquire a stake in the Turkish fixed-line operator, the competition authority has said.
The lenders will buy the stakes through a joint venture company, Reuters reported on July 5.
After the announcement was made, Türk Telekom's shares rose more than 6 percent to 5.43 Turkish Liras per share.
In May, sources told Reuters that the creditor banks were set to take a majority control of the company as part of a debt restructuring.
Back in 2013, Otaş, a company that was set up by Oger Telecom to acquire a 55 percent stake in Türk Telekom in 2005, took on a $4.7 billion syndicated loan from 29 banks.
Akbank has the largest share in the loan with $1.5 billion, followed by Garanti Bank with some $1 billion and İş Bank with $500 million.
The remaining $1.7 billion is owed to the remaining 26 banks.
Otaş was supposed to repay the debt in $290 million installments starting from 2016, but it failed to do so. Garanti Bank reclassified its debt as "closely watched" as of the end of 2017, keeping the troubled loan in its books after the company repeatedly failed to make payments.
İş Bank also classified the company's loan as "closely watched" at the end of last year, sources told daily Hürriyet early in 2018.
Akbank also said it classified its loan to the company as "closely watched" in a stock exchange filing early in January.

If nothing else, we know what Scott Gomez looks like in a San Jose Sharks uniform – at least in their practice duds.
That evaluation period didn't involve mingling with Sharks regulars as they didn't skate.
Kurz targets Michal Handzus as a player who could be on a shorter leash with Gomez nipping at his heels.
Really, though, Gomez could fill a gap whether he puts the heat on Handzus or someone else. The Sharks have some big names on offense, but depth scoring has been an issue, so if the five-time 50+ assist man can rekindle that lost touch, San Jose could land a significant bargain.
If he does well during this "evaluation period," that is.


Sleep for relaxing and recovering, that's important, very important. It is so important because that's where your body truly does get a chance to grow to new heights and achieve new feats of strength or skill such as throwing a 90+ mph fast ball, producing the power to hit those game changing home runs, react so quick your glove floats to that line drive and the inning is over. The most under looked yet most valuable aspect of your training is your sleep. You could put in your skills time on the field, put in your strength work in the weight room, put in the effort with prepped meals and scarfing them down… but the results you want from all of those won't add up when you're not sleeping 8-10 hours a night… I promise you will only be making moderate to no gains in any of your hopeful training attempts if you are not sleeping at least that much.
If your child is not sleeping adequately at night then their bodies are not getting a chance to repair and improve the way it functions. Sleep is where real muscle is built and where the athlete can recharge and renew from the days activities and prepare itself for more the following day. Here is how we can avoid the above.
-Sleep 8-10 hours a night.
-Build a sleep schedule. Follow the same times of going to bed and waking up throughout the week.
-Train earlier in the day and train hard.
-Eat a nutritious and filling meal for dinner 3-4 hours before bed.
-Manage stress through coping strategies, friends or exercise.
-Avoid energy drinks or caffeine later in the day.
-Be consistent with the above points.
If you follow the above guidelines and you are training hard and smart then you will surely find yourself growing and improving as your sleep quality and duration improves. And that's what you want right? To be great… to be a star player on the field. You need to put all the factors together and make your efforts 100% in each of those; sleep, training, academics, nutrition. So think again before wasting time on your video games or smart phones. Go to school, the weight room, the diamond, do your homework, eat throughout the day, and get your SLEEP in! Take your body to its new level and better you. Get your rest and sore to new heights. Sleep tight and dream big athletes. Good night. Zzzzzz….


It looks like things between YFN Lucci and Reginae Carter are heating up. During the 2018 Insta Gala in Atlanta, the two were crowned King and Queen and were snapped in some cozy photos.
The 19-year-old daughter of Lil Wayne has been spotted with the 27-year-old rapper a lot recently, and rumors first circulated that they were together sparked when they were seen driving together in Los Angeles after the NBA All-Star Game.
Now, it looks like the two are ready to be a bit more public with their fling. For Lucci's sake, we hope Weezy approves.
Check out the recent pics of Reginae and YFN Lucci below.
Last weekend, stars from all areas of the entertainment world converged in Los Angeles to watch the world's premier athletes perform at the 2018 NBA All-Star Weekend. Somewhat lost in the fuss, though, was the surfacing of the next hip-hop-rooted romance, this one potentially between Atlanta's own YFN Lucci and Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter.
Evidence of their interaction comes in the form of a nosey fan's Instagram video. In the clip, we see Lucci stopped at a light as he sits in his flossy whip, with a camo jacket-rocking young woman sitting right beside him. In a potentially telling note, the woman is covering her face so she isn't seen, signifying she knows she'll draw a lot of attention.
In an Instagram post from the same day, we see Reginae rocking a seemingly identical outfit as the woman in the video, and with the hair and face shape in plain enough view, it doesn't feel like a reach to say this is Reginae. The question is, though, are her and Lucci actually an item? We'll just have to wait and see.
In related news, Lucci is now just a few days removed from dropping off his Freda's Son EP. Featuring his signature melodies and street narratives, the project is yet another strong entry into the rapper's steadily growing catalog of dope tunes. On Sunday (Feb. 18), the newly minted 27-year-old unveiled a video for "Propane," a cut from the new project.
Peep video of Lucci and a woman we believe is Reginae Carter below. Peep the Instagram post featuring the fit Reginae rocked that day beneath that. Check out the "Propane" visual for yourself below.

Abarth special edition 695 70th anniversary!
The scorpion manufacturer took advantage of the Abarth Days organized this weekend at the Milan Innovation District (MIND), to present its special edition Abarth 695 70th Anniversario developed in honour of the 70th anniversary of the creation of Abarth & C. by Carlo Abarth.
This special Abarth 695 70th Anniversario editions is distinguished first of all by the presence of the "Spoiler ad Assetto Variabile", its adjustable spoiler (12 positions from 0 to 60 degrees) to offer performance and stability (42 kg of support at 200 km /h with the spoiler turned at 60°) to the Italian sports car.
This Abarth 695 70th Anniversario is then also recognizable by its "Monza 1958 green" livery, reminiscent of that of the Abarth 500, which set no less than six speed records on the Monza track, with specific "Campovolo grey" colour finishes for certain bodywork elements (including its "Spoiler ad Assetto Variabile"), as well as decorations (the scorpion emblem, checkered patterns….) and 17-inch SuperSport wheels (housing red brake calipers provided by Brembo).
Four other deliveries will also be offered to its future buyers (Circuit Grey, Gara White, Scorpione Black and Podium Blue), who will benefit from a cabin equipped with "Sabelt Tricolore" seats exclusive to this model.
The Abarth 695 70th Anniversario, powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged block of 180 hp and 250 Nm, will propel it at 223 km/h in peak speed (6.7 seconds to reach 0 to 100 km/h), will be produced in only 1,949 units, charged €32,990.
Abarth continues on the series of limited versions and new finishes of the 695. This time, it's to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the preparatory, with a variant produced in 1949 units and equipped with the most powerful of the four cylinders, with 180 hp. However, the price is high: from €32,990.
Abarth has released a new special edition of his little 500 hormone force-feed, and this time it's for a very special anniversary: the 70th anniversary of Abarth's foundation. The scorpion trainer therefore logically chose to limit the production of this 695 70th Anniversario to 1949 copies, the year Abarth was created.
The car is generously equipped with the specific Monza Record exhaust, but also a numbered plate, oversized Brembo ventilated brakes (305 front, 240 rear), 17-inch wheels, Sabelt "Tricolor" seats (specially developed for this Abarth), but also the Abarth telemetry on board, or Android Auto/Apple CarPlay on the 7-inch screen.

Are you a math student?
If math wouldn't be my profession, I probably wouldn't dare to speak so freely. Though I have to admit, that I did some programming since then.
Are you talking about edge forts? That might totally be. I was using that technique for edge forts during my games.
Yes, you could use retrograde analysis to develop an edge-fort engine.
While you might be right about that, it sounds complicated and seems less useful than a basic answer on plain corner attacks.
The real truth about this is that I don't know how to go about it. Furthermore it's hard to test, because the edge fights are just a result of massive weaknesses black created during defending corners. So until we understand how these corner attacks work, it's hard to determine which kind of edge forts are interesting.
At the same time you are right about the fact that a naive "just do some machine learning without prior knowledge", is way to naive to get a result for edge forts in a reasonable amount of time. It's just to hard to construct one "by accident". I was planning to leave that issue for later, but if you have any ideas I'm all ears.
Didn't the original AlphaGo program also do local tactical analysis separately from global strategic analysis?
We always have graph based based pruning techniques.
Afair there were never a special part for tactical or strategical results. At the same time we have two different outputs (that were attached to entirely different networks in the first version), while one looks for "interesting moves" (in particular all tactical ones) and the other one is trying to give an estimation who has the upper hand (essentially giving a strategic judgement).
I studied mathematical logic, what's your field?
It looks like neither of us are serious enough about programming tafl: if you were serious you;d start with brandubh, if I were serious I'd be using C.
I guess I was wrong about that, I must have misunderstood something I read about NN valuation v. MC search.
I'm serious about Copenhagen, yet I'm ready to start with a variant without edge forts to keep things simple. I'm not aiming for a (even much harder) general solution.

11 Things You Didn't Know About Saguaro Cactus
By WoS on	 July 11, 2015 About Succulents
The Saguaro cactus is one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert. Did you know that:
1. Saguaros are the largest cactus species in the U.S.—they can grow more than 40 feet (12.2 m) tall. (The largest species in North America is the giant Cardon Cactus, which grows in parts of Mexico.)
2. A typical Saguaro can live between 100 to 200 years. (That said, "We are not entirely sure of the true age of some of the largest individuals," says Kevin Hultine, a plant physiologist at Phoenix's Desert Botanical Garden.)
3. A fully-grown Saguaro can weigh more than a ton.
4. Depending on how much water they amass, Saguaros can shrink or swell in girth by 20 to 25 percent over the course of a year, according to Hultine.
5. Saguaros have an intricate root system. A single "taproot" grows straight down about five feet to access water that's stored deep underground. A Saguaro's main roots, however, extend like a maze about three inches under the surface to easily collect rainwater.
6. Despite the spines, which prevent hungry animals from feasting on their tissues, Saguaros serve as "hotels" for birds such as Gila woodpeckers, which carve out nest holes in the plants. These birds typically wait several months before moving in to give the pulp of the cactus time to dry and create a solid casing around the cavity. "Sagauros are characterized as foundation species because they support so many other species in the ecosystem," says Hultine.
7. The saguaro's bloom is Arizona's state flower.

8. The Saguaro was given its scientific name, Carnegiea gigantea, in honor of industrialist Andrew Carnegie, whose Carnegie Institution established the Desert Botanical Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona, in 1903.
9. Saguaros don't always assume the familiar, forked silhouette of cowboy lore—a small number appear "crested" by a fan-like structure referred to as a cristate. But these "are very rare," notes Hultine.
10. Saguaros are culturally important to the Tohono O'odham Nation. These Native Americans harvest ripe Saguaro fruit in the spring to make wines, jams, and jellies. Saguaro wine is ritually consumed during Nawait I'i, a Tohono O'odham rain ceremony.
11. Saguaros—which make for expensive lawn adornments—have become black market commodities, with poachers raking in a few thousand dollars for their hauls. "This has been one of the major traditional threats to Saguaro," according to Hultine.

Several local commercial real estate practitioners have launched a group representing the region's LGBTQ community to provide a support network and create more opportunities within Greater Washington.
Representatives from some of D.C.'s most recognizable names in the industry — Edens, Jair Lynch Real Estate Partners and Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR) among them — have launched Q City, which has met twice and assembled a seven-person steering committee. About 40 people turned out for Q City's event last month in Union Market.
Goulston & Storrs PC attorneys Cary Kadlecek and Meghan Hottel-Cox came up with the idea. The two were talking in Kadlecek's office about a year ago when they realized there was no group for LGBTQ individuals in the industry.


What's that saying – "One random act of kindness can change the world"? It certainly changed mine. I am still in disbelief at how fast this story spread. It has been seen across the United States, from Australia to Germany and many places in between. I am so happy that Sydney got to have her senior session and received such kindness from strangers.
I had a senior session on July 15th and we planned to go to Fountain Creek Nature Center. However, mother nature had a different idea and the rain started and didn't stop. It rained. A LOT. My senior, Sydney Johansson, suffers from cerebral palsy and seizures and is having a major surgery this month so we really couldn't reschedule and I was already in their car because we had hoped that we could outrun the rain. It never rains in Fountain when it calls for rain. Well, it rained. And it rained a lot 🙄 so her mom, Laura Principe Johansson, and I drove around thinking what to do. She mentioned that we could try Starbucks and worst case scenario is they'll tell us no, that we can't invade their space.
We drove to Starbucks in the hurricane-force wind & rain and she ran in to ask. She says to the guy at the counter, "you can tell me to screw off but it's pouring, my daughter was supposed to have senior pictures outside. She is in a wheelchair. Can we just come inside and take some pics?" He replied with "Absolutely!" and offered his umbrella to help us get inside. Not only did he offer his umbrella but when Sydney's mom went inside to get the umbrella he came outside in the pouring rain to help us get Sydney inside! He wasn't even under the umbrella and trust me, he was soaked.
After getting inside we were greeted with hot chocolates made with soy milk because they were unsure of allergies (who thinks that far into it?!?!). I was blown away with gratitude at this point. Then, as we were shooting, one of the family members in tow ordered food and a drink for her and her son, and Starbucks denied payment! Chris (our hero) came over and asked if there was anything else we need about a dozen times while we were literally moving furniture and talking to other interested and helpful patrons. One customer took some pictures with Sydney's mom's phone… I could go on for days about this!
Chris came by and asked if he could make Sydney some signs. He pulled out markers and colored paper to make her a little backdrop! Even upon leaving he wouldn't let us pay for more coffee. We were there for a good hour at least, taking up the bathroom as it's no easy feat to change Sydney and we had several outfits.
There were serious tears from all after taking in everything from that session. I just wanted her to have the average senior session, like any other girl and instead she got THE RED CARPET in a way I couldn't have been more proud to be a part of!!! From there the news stations started rolling out the red carpet for Sydney and we had interviews with every major Colorado Springs, CO news station! We received HUNDREDS of requests to share the story worldwide and it's warmed the hearts of over 3 MILLION people worldwide and been shared 77,638 times!
Thank from the bottom of our hearts, Chris at Starbucks, you deserve an "Awesome Human" award for your kindness! At this point I'd like to add that the Mayor of Fountain, CO honored Chris (and made our dreams come true) with the FIRST EVER "Pure Colorado" award. They continue to honor members of the community with this award for acts of being an amazing human. To hear some of his kind words and to see the award, watch the video below.

Jane, too, finds herself alone and virtually in the wilderness: "Whitcross is no town," she reports, "nor even a hamlet; it is but a stone pillar set up where four roads meet" JE, pp. You, my creator, would tear me to pieces, and triumph; remember that, and tell me why I should pity man more than he pities me? The film was presumed lostbut after resurfacing 38 years after its production, it became a "midnight sensation" in Tel Aviv and developed a cult following akin to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. All of this is true of "The Shape of Water," but still, something's off. Jane sees "a room with a sanded floor, clean scoured; a dresser of walnut, with pewter plates ranged in rows.
Austerberry has a field day, creating multiple atmospherically rich worlds, so real you can smell the dank rot in those basement corridors. The show lasted one season inand focused on a police detective called Darcy Walker, who by night dons a leather outfit to fight such amusingly-named villains as Aerobicide, Professor Prophet, and Gangster Prankster. But her sense of identity and purpose almost immediately begin to erode and she consequently expresses a sense of self-hatred typical of the tortured monster: In the midst of my pain of heart, and frantic effort of principle, I abhorred myself. While Heroes went quickly downhill, The Cape never got started--mediocre reviews and poor ratings ensured that it was cancelled after one season. In a corporate-run franchise-driven industry, del Toro's movies are refreshingly personal.
The shadow of the monster, however, remains, and heightens the significance of Jane's ultimately happy fate. Indeed, it is generally elided in critical analyses of Jane's psychological journey from dependence to maturity, even by critics who specifically address the nature of the transitions of the story from one physical venue to another as it moves from Gateshead to Lowood, to Thornfield, to Moor House. Students of screenwriting should study the way the film handles the crucial passages at the end, when she discovers some drawings and understands their meaning. Nelson, but he keeps his name when credited as an actor. Yes, they are loud, grumpy and constantly arguing, but they are not frightening thanks to their small size.

Like the monster, Jane is now "absolutely destitute": alone, without money or provisions, and unsure of her surroundings. The film was conceived after Warren bet Academy Award-winning screenwriter Stirling Silliphant that anyone could make a horror movie.

Pulmonary Fibrosis Defined
Fred Schick
I am an ambassador for the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF) and a patient advocate for pulmonary fibrosis.
As someone living with pulmonary fibrosis (PF), it can be frustrating to see how unknown and misunderstood the disease really is. This lack of awareness caused me to go undiagnosed for years. I'm hopeful that sharing my story will raise awareness about symptoms, treatments, and more.
An Unexpected Diagnosis
My story begins with a fun deep-water snorkeling outing that turned scary when I suddenly couldn't get air into my lungs. As an experienced swimmer, it was very strange when I felt so winded that I couldn't even call for help. Fortunately, the captain noticed my distress and got people to help me back into the boat.
My doctors initially ascribed the breathlessness to a heart condition, which allowed my PF to go undiagnosed for three years. In 2017, I was finally diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a type of PF without a known cause. Today, I am committed to increasing awareness of the disease and its early symptoms so that others will be diagnosed earlier.
Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation
What Exactly Is Pulmonary Fibrosis?
PF is a progressive and debilitating disease that, over time, leads to scarring of the lungs. The disease has no known cure.
While more than 200,000 Americans are living with PF, awareness remains alarmingly low. In fact, a vast majority (86%) of Americans do not know the symptoms of PF, according to a recent survey from the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF).
Symptoms and Risk Factors
The three most common symptoms are:
Symptoms can appear mild or absent early in the disease stage, and they mimic the symptoms of many other illnesses, such as the common cold. This means that it often takes a long time to diagnose the disease.
Because it is rare, many physicians may not see a case in a year or even longer. Even when noticeable on a chest X-ray, it may go undetected because the physician is looking for something else. In my case, nearly three years passed from the onset of early symptoms until an actual diagnosis.
Unfortunately, I chose to ignore the extreme shortness of breath, a dangerous thing to do. All of us must be proactive with our doctors.
Common risk factors include those over the age of 60, current or past smokers, and those with a family history of interstitial lung disease.
As always, when researching a medical condition, take what you read with a grain of salt. When doing my research online, I was told life expectancy was two to five years. No one can predict exactly how long a person with PF will live. There are people with PF who live much longer than five years, and, unfortunately, those who don't live long after a late-stage diagnosis. Everyone is different, and there are some strategies that can make your life better.
While it is true that there is no known cure for PF, there are a number of helpful treatments.
Supportive care treatments such as supplemental oxygen, medication, and pulmonary rehabilitation can lessen symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
For some types of PF, there are medications called "antifibrotics" that can slow down disease progression by about 50% on average.
Lung transplantation is also a treatment option for some people with advanced PF and is considered on a case-by-case basis.
While learning to live with IPF is challenging, joining a support group helps provide emotional relief and valuable information from others also on this journey.
How to Advocate for Yourself and Others
Take notes about your symptoms, prepare for your appointments, and ask questions. AboutPF.org features helpful resources to assist with finding a specialist and identifying symptoms and risk factors, including the PFF's Care Center Network and a downloadable checklist of symptoms and risk factors patients can share with their doctor.
Every September is Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month (PFAM) to promote awareness of PF through events and education. Increasing understanding of this unsuspected disease will help drive earlier diagnoses, advocate for needed research, and ultimately find a cure. It is important to drive conversations around symptoms, risk factors, treatments, and more, so patients can start conversations with their doctors.
