In a bizarre, unfortunate accident last Thursday, a taxi drove into the Oregon hotel room where one of Brooklyn's most renowned DJs, Jonathan Toubin, was sleeping. The cab pinned Toubin in bed at the Doug Fir Lounge's Jupiter Hotel in Portland and he remains hospitalized in critical condition.
An outpouring of support has emerged for the 50s-revivalist, who helms the ever-more infamous New York Night Train Soul Clap and Dance-Off and the recently cooked-up Land of 1000 Dances.
Tonight, Impose Magazine is throwing a holiday party at Kinfolk Studios in Williamsburg. They'll have a collection set up for Toubin.
Friday, Brooklyn Bowl hosts the largest and most promising of the benefits with some real crowd-pleasers. The lineup now includes performances from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Heavy Trash (Jon Spencer), Stabbing Eastwood (Tunde Adebimpe & Ryan Sawyer) Royal Baths and Reverend Vince Anderson. There will also be DJ sets by Gibby Haynes, Bear In Heaven, Billy Miller and Leo Fitzpatrick.
Saturday night at Death By Audio, Xray Eyeballs, The Stalkers, K-Holes, and an acoustic Frankie and the Outs all come out to get Toubin some help.
Considering the incredible bad luck of this, there isn't anyone who deserves such tragedy less than Toubin. For a 45-obsessed DJ from Brooklyn, you'd expect him to have a cooler-than-thou persona, given his clout and rock 'n' roll focus.
Not so: Toubin's always been remarkably down to earth and effusively kind. His interests in community, expression and fun extend to anyone he's so much as been acquainted with.
If you've had the best night of your life at his expense, help out. Your soul will clap.

Q: Batch job does not process all the records from Custom Metadata We have a batch job that queries all the records from Custom metadata(CMDT) and processes them in executebatch() one by one and sends emails .
return IRR_SEL_AutomatedMessagesSelector.newInstance().selectAutomatedMessages();
There are 1000+ records in CMDT.But we are seeing that batch job does not process all the records.
ID batchprocessid = Database.executeBatch(processAutomated, 1);
As you can see from above line, we are processing one batch at a time.
So is there a limit on how many batches can be created in a batch job? Ideally there should be 1069 batches created in the batch job(as there are 1069 records in CMDT) but I have checked the debug log and see that only 100 logs(1 log per batch) are created.
Appreciate some inputs on this.
Code:

//querying the records from CMDT

global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc) {
return IRR_SEL_AutomatedMessagesSelector.newInstance().selectAutomatedMessages();
}

global override void executeScope( Database.BatchableContext bc, SObject[] sObjScope ) {

ART MARKET IN AN INSTANT by TLP X National Museum Of Singapore
Sweet Nostalgia! Join us as we team up with the National Museum of Singapore for this flashing exhibition.
Art Market will be held right at the entrance of the gallery.
Public entry fees for the exhibition will be waived during the Art Market.
In an Instant: Polaroid at the Intersection of Art and Technology
Explore the museum's exhibition, In an Instant: Polaroid at the Intersection of Art and Technology now till 31 March 2019, and discover a nostalgic flashback to the heyday of Polaroid.
In an age where apps provide instant services and smartphones allow us to capture just about anything and everything in an instant, the culture of now has never been so prevalent. Its origins can perhaps be traced back to the late 1940s when Edwin Land first introduced the Polaroid camera to the world, marking a technological breakthrough in the history of photography. Instant photography was born, predating the digital age in which we live today. Polaroid's unique qualities inspired artists and photographers including Andy Warhol, Ansel Adams, Lucas Samaras and Barbara Crane, while capturing the imagination of everyone else. In allowing people to capture a shared moment and to memorialise it in an instant, Polaroid was arguably perceived as the social network of its time. Through a wide range of Polaroid artworks and artefacts, this exhibition offers insight into the story of Polaroid photography, while exploring the impact of instant photography and this social phenomenon of instantaneity on us today.

Explained: The Controversies Behind Brake-Testing in Formula 1.
Max Verstappen got a 10-second penalty after he was found guilty of the "erratic" braking on lap 37 in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton called him out for brake-testing on him which resulted in a collision between the two championship protagonists.
The concept is frowned upon in Formula 1, and we've seen similar instances in the past as well. During the Jeddah GP, the Mercedes driver tried to gain an advantage on Verstappen by going around the outside. However, the Dutchman retained his position by cutting across the corner.
So he was instructed by the race director to give up the spot to Hamilton strategically. However, his sudden slamming of the brakes caught Hamilton off guard and the two cars collided. This caused damage to Hamilton's front wing, but he still managed to win the race leaving the Red Bull behind.
Formula 1 is an expeditious sport, and a minacious one as well. Although speed drives the sport, it can cause as much harm if the driver is caught off guard. Brake-testing sort of works this way. The leader dictates the pace in F1 but if any driver slams the brakes without reasonable justification, it gets difficult for the driver behind, who needs to take evasive actions to avoid any contact.
However, in most cases of brake testing, the driver close behind is caught off guard, and a collision becomes a rule rather than an exception. Owing to the inherent danger of brake-testing, it is a rare sight in the sport.
Beyond its consequences and threatening nature, there still have been a few instances of brake testing in the sport. The latest one is during the Jeddah GP where Max Verstappen allegedly hit the brakes too hard and Hamilton collided with him amidst the "confusion."
"Well, I didn't get the information so I didn't really understand what was going on. It was very, very confusing," said Hamilton about the incident as reported by PlanetF1.
A similar incident happened at the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix involving Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. Vettel accused him of Brake testing while exiting on turn 15 under the safety car and the two cars made contact. Things got ugly, and the German hit him on the side with his Ferrari as a retaliation. Vettel was given a penalty by the FIA for dangerous driving.
If we go further back in the day, Michael Schumacher accused British driver David Coulthard of brake-testing him in Spa 1998. The German got furious when he ran into Coulthard during a heavy spray screaming, "Are you to f****** kill me?". Later, the stewards gave a clean chit to Coulthard. He accepted that crash was his fault because he lifted to let him pass in a heavy spray.
Brake-testing is condemned in the motorsports world for all the right reasons and must be avoided by the drivers in any scenario for not just the safety of their own car, but for other drivers as well.

In baseball, a quality start (QS) is a statistic for a starting pitcher defined as a game in which the pitcher completes at least six innings and permits no more than three earned runs. The quality start was developed by sportswriter John Lowe in 1985 while writing for The Philadelphia Inquirer. He wrote that it "shows exactly how many times a baseball pitcher has done his job."

The quality start was created to be an accurate measure of a starting pitcher's performance. However, the implied earned run average (ERA) of a minimum quality start has been criticized, with Tim McCarver noting "three runs for six innings ... means the ERA would be 4.50 ... Rubbish."

MLB quality start leaders
This section lists quality start leaders in Major League Baseball (MLB).  ESPN.com includes quality starts in its "Stat Leaders" section, and terms a loss suffered by a pitcher in a quality start as a "tough loss" and a win earned by a pitcher in a non-quality start a "cheap win". However, quality starts are absent from statistics provided on other baseball reference sites, such as Baseball-Reference.com and Baseball Almanac.

Other notable accomplishments
As of the end of the  season, the highest "quality start" percentage for a given season in the live-ball era (post-1920) was recorded by Greg Maddux, who had 24 of them in 25 games in 1994. Dwight Gooden was 33-for-35 in 1985.

Since 1913, numerous pitchers have thrown quality starts of over twenty games, with ten pitchers throwing at least 21 quality starts from 1913 to 2016, albeit with exceptions. Walter Johnson (September 14, 1914 to July 6, 1915) and Eddie Cicotte (September 15, 1916 to July 25, 1917) each had over 24 quality starts, but they also made spot appearances in relief for their teams (i.e. not starting 24 in a row). Bob Gibson, however, set a new high mark with 26 quality starts in a row (no relief appearances) from September 12, 1967 to July 30, 1968. Jacob deGrom tied Gibson by throwing 26 quality starts from May 18, 2018 to April 3, 2019, with 24 of them being done in the same season that set a record for most quality starts in a season previously set by Gibson (22) and Chris Carpenter (22, 2005). Among left-handed pitchers and pitchers of the American League, Framber Valdez leads with his current streak of 27 for the 2022 season, that is now the new record for most consecutive quality starts in one season.

From 1871 to the end of the 2020 MLB season, the overall leaders by percentage (min. 100 starts):

Jacob deGrom (136 of 183, 74.3%)
Clayton Kershaw (260 of 354, 73.4%)
Jeff Tesreau (148 of 207, 71.5%)
Babe Ruth (105 of 147, 71.4%)
Tom Seaver (454 of 647, 70.2%)
Chris Sale (162 of 232, 69.8%)
Mel Stottlemyre (247 of 356, 69.4%)
Ernie Shore (84 of 121, 69.4%)
Pete Schneider (109 of 157, 69.4%)
Gerrit Cole (139 of 204, 68.1%)

Criticisms

High ERA
An early criticism of the statistic, made by Moss Klein, writing in The Sporting News, is that a pitcher could conceivably meet the minimum requirements for a quality start and record a 4.50 ERA, which is generally seen as undesirable. Bill James addressed this in his 1987 Baseball Abstract, saying the hypothetical example (a pitcher going exactly 6 innings and allowing exactly 3 runs) was extremely rare among starts recorded as quality starts, and that he doubted any pitchers had an ERA over 3.20 in their quality starts. This was later confirmed through computer analysis of all quality starts recorded from 1984 to 1991, which found that the average ERA in quality starts during that time period was 1.91. However, this criticism has persisted; in 2022, John Laghezza of The Athletic deemed the quality start "garbage", while proposing alternatives (the "money start" and the "plus start").

Complete games
Another criticism against the statistic is that it is not beneficial for pitchers who pitch many innings per start.  If a pitcher allows three earned runs in six innings, he gets a quality start with an ERA of 4.50 for that game.  But if a pitcher pitches for nine innings and allows four earned runs, he would have a 4.00 ERA, but would not get a quality start. Former pitcher Carl Erskine said "in my day, a quality start was a complete game ... you gave everybody a day's rest."

That the category is more reliable in the aggregate can be seen with countervailing individual examples, such as the ones listed by Sports Illustrated writer Joe Posnanski in a 2011 piece on the subject:
"In July 2000, Mark Mulder went 6 2/3 innings, gave up 15 hits and nine runs — but only two were earned, so that was classified as a quality start.
In June 1997, Randy Johnson struck out 19 in a complete game but allowed four runs. That was not a quality start.
In July 1982, Mike Scott allowed seven hits and walked five in six innings, did not strike out anybody, gave up seven runs, but only three of those were earned. Quality start.
In April 1974, Gaylord Perry went 15 innings and allowed four runs. Not a quality start."

On the other hand, in the 21st century, team management has increasingly looked upon complete games with disfavor due to the clear and convincing evidence that a pitcher left in the game for more than six or perhaps seven innings is both less effective and at substantially increased risk of injury. Today, a manager is widely expected to pull his starting pitcher once he reaches his pitch count limit, no matter how well he is pitching. This managerial caution reached an unprecedented new standard in 2022 when the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw (who had an abbreviated spring training) was pulled after pitching a perfect game through seven innings, and only 80 pitches. The Dodgers' manager, Dave Roberts, had also pulled Rich Hill in 2016 after his own seven-inning perfect game bid, due to an injury precaution on Hill's throwing hand. Both perfect game bids were broken up later on, and there has yet to be a combined perfect game.

Alternatives
Nolan Ryan has used the term "high quality start" for games where the pitcher goes seven innings or more and allows three earned runs or fewer, which baseball columnist and former BBWAA president Derrick Goold referred to as "quality start plus".

Dayn Perry of CBS Sports suggested what he calls the "dominant start". This stat would award a pitcher with a dominant start if he goes at least eight innings, and allows no more than one run, earned or unearned. Perry argues that this stat would better show which pitchers are truly the best in all of baseball.

John Laghezza of The Athletic has offered two proposals:
 the "money start" (QS$) – 7 or more innings pitched with no more than 2 runs allows
 the "plus start" (QS+) – same as quality start while excluding starts where the pitcher allowed 3 earned runs in less than 7 innings. Starts of at least 6 innings but less that 7 innings would still qualify when not more than 2 earned runs were allowed (2 earned runs in 6 innings is an ERA of 3.00). Under this proposal, the highest ERA would be 3.86 (3 earned runs in 7 innings).

As the season's first ATP is set to begin in Australia from February 1, ATP Cup champion Novak Djokovic and runner-up Rafael Nadal will make their appearances in the toned-down event. However, the U.S. will miss the event due to a tweak in format that cut the field into half.
The draw will be held on Jan. 20, and the teams will be divided into four groups. The winner of each round-robin group will move to the semifinals.
The inaugural event last year saw the participation of 24 teams and was held in three Australian cities. It was Djokovic's Serbia team that drubbed Nadal and Spain in the final at Sydney's Ken Rosewall Arena.
This year, the second edition of the event will feature only 12 teams and will be played in only city at the Melbourne Park due to COVID-19 restrictions, along with WTA and ATP tournaments. This will be followed by the Australian Open tournament.
How the qualification was done
Qualification for the ATP Cup was ascertained based on the ranking of each nation's top player while Australia was given a wild-card entry. Other competing countries are Austria, Russia, Greece, Germany, Argentina, Italy, Japan, France and Canada.
As per the protocol, all players arriving in Melbourne for the Australian Open will have to go through mandatory quarantine of 14 days before the delayed start of the season's first major Australian Open.
The Australian Open is usually held in the last two weeks of January every year, but this time it has been pushed back to Feb. 8-21 because of travel and other restrictions in place for the COVID-19 pandemic.
Qualifying for the men's singles draw will be held in Doha, Qatar, and for the women's in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, both running Jan. 10-13.
Several key tennis tournaments had to be postponed or cancelled in the last year. The Wimbledon got cancelled for the first time in 2020 since WWII.

REAL Controls has been designing the ice rink chiller controls for Burley's Rink Supply for more than ten years. Burley's wanted to update the human-machine interface (HMI) for their TurboChiller PLC system with a modern, easy to use interface.
The new HMI uses a web page style interface that is intuitive and easy to navigate. The interface incorporates Burley's new logo and color scheme that ties in the HMI with the company's marketing strategy. In addition, REAL Controls was able to integrate what had been three separate chiller control products to control Burley's four compressor, six compressor and air cooled products into one application that works for the company's complete product offering.
Burley's has offered the new HMI to their existing clients as an upgrade to their ice rink control system and they are including the new interface with all new sales of the TurboChiller system. The roll out has received favorable responses from Burley's customers and the upgrade has been successful on all systems tested to date. In addition, the single application has significantly reduced the amount of software maintenance required for this product line.

Books, Counter-factual history, Fiction, Review
Review: Dominion
By C. J. Samson. My rating: ★★★★☆
The Basics: The year is 1952. After surrendering in 1940 Britain is now a subservient Vichy-like ally to the victorious Nazi Germany which dominates all of Europe and most of Russia. David Fitzgerald, a Civil Servant in the Dominions Office, suffers the tragedy of losing his young son which leads to him reconsider his surroundings and begin a dangerous journey into what remains of the British 'Resistance.' Learning that an old university friend of David's bears a potentially world changing secret, the Resistance acts quickly to learn this before the Nazi regime does, whose search is lead by the ageing Gestapo Sturmbannfuhrer Hoth.
In-depth: Counter-factual historical fiction is most definitely 'in' at the moment. The current TV series based on the Philip K Dick book 'The Man in the High Castle,' which depicts an early 1960s North America co-ruled by seemingly victorious Nazi and Imperial Japanese regimes, is the most glossy and visible representation of this trend. However Samson's 'Dominion' from 2012, somehow written and published in the midst of his brilliant and continuing Shardlake series, is a fantastic, gritty and British alternative.
Samson turns history from 1940 onwards on it's head and teasingly reveals the many intricate details of his imagination through off the cuff conversations. The characters are easy to relate too, include quite worryingly even some of the Nazi's, due to the immense back stories Samson dedicates to each of them. The most tragic is of Frank Muncaster via his brutal school days of bullying, then his even darker days in a mental asylum and his final opening up whilst on the run with the resistance.
The central couple of David and his wife Sarah form the basis of the book, particularly their transformation into 'criminals' who resist the Fascist leaning British Government (Newspaper Tycoon Lord Beaverbrook as PM, Oswald Mosley as Home Secretary alongside faint rumours of Winston Churchill still on the run and heading the Resistance).
Finally another of the main characters is a Scottish Communist called Ben. Not only is his speech spelt out how it's spoken through his thick Glaswegian working class accent, which can bring joy to the reader in deciphering what at first appears a foreign language, but his character and views seem to represent something close to what could be the authors view of Scottish nationalism today.
Before reading this book I noticed a news story about Sansom being a passionate and financial backer of the No campaign in the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum. In a revealing section late in the book Ben lays into the Scottish National Party and their wider attachment to the small minded nationalism that grips Europe in this dark vision of 1950s Europe abandoned by an isolationist USA. It appears a dig at the current Scottish National Party and what to Sansom seems to be the insidious opportunism of valuing the nation as a whole above the people that actually make up nations.
This offers an interesting insight into the current politics of Scottish nationalism today but is merely a hidden nugget in what is an exciting thriller within a remarkably well estimated and entertaining guess at what the world could have looked like if Britain had surrendered in 1940.

Lao New Year is a major highlight of the year for many Laotians across the world, and is observed and celebrated for almost the whole month of April. It's filled with cultural activities, games, water splashing, and lots of authentically delicious Lao food. Connecting with our supporters is very important to us so go out and do a tum makhoung fundraiser in one of the cities. It's great to be part of the festivities and fun but mostly we love the chance to share and spread awareness of our cause and to meet our supporters who come out to show their love. We are always looking for volunteers to help set up the fundraiser in your area or to assist in our booth. This year we were just at Louisiana and in past years we have been to Texas, Virginia, and a few cities in California (San Diego, Fresno, Sacramento). We can't wait to fundraise at a Lao New Year in your city!


My rube Goldberg machine included and demonstrated a screw, a lever and an inclined plane.
My rube Goldberg machine also demonstrated potential energy, kinetic energy and momentum which is speed. The calculations I got were M= 7.0g which is 1kg= 1,000kg which the total is 0.007kg. H= 50cm 1 cm= 100 cm which equals 0.5cm.
Step one of my Rube Goldberg was a pointer finger, the pointer finger hit a ball, the ball rolled down into a bucket. When the bucket dropped a wooden block hit a second ball which rolled down a tube and down a screw which cut a piece of string that pulled a flag and put a bandaid on the world that was burning. But I had some strengths in this project, and I've always been creative, but being creative and making a simple machine out of creativity and thoughts worked well. I grew in communication. Before my Rube Goldberg project I lacked communication, now it's easy to work with my peers.
The location we used for our trebuchet was Germany, Germany 1987. Our trebuchet represents the location and time period we chose because of the final drive ratio.


While a main part of my career is research and discovery, I believe it is also important to promote scientific literacy to students, teachers, and the general public. The Dixson lab is dedicated to providing educational opportunities where people can enhance their scientific understanding and participate in the research process.
Through my research, I have spent large periods of time working in third world countries. Local villagers grow up near coastal reefs, yet they have limited education about marine environments. For this reason, a few years ago I began creating short DVDs that could be distributed to local villages. These DVDs explain the research I am conducting as well as the potential for the results to improve conservation and restoration of local reefs. Each research project leads to a new DVD (see our YouTube Channel). More recently, I have begun writing and illustrating children's books to provide another medium to disseminate our research.
The Dixson Lab has recently paired with the Discover Science Center (website) to provide educational materials to K-12 educators and students throughout Atlanta and the United States. The Discover Science Center is an informal science education enrichment lab that seeks to provide an interactive education experience and opportunities related to marine science. Through this program, we are able to provide teaching materials, including lesson plans, to K-12 teachers. We also are working to provide research organisms to stock tanks at the center to give visitors first-hand access to our research.
University of Delaware is the home of REU Marine Science Program (website). REU programs are funded by the National Science Foundation (REU website). They provide the opportunity for undergraduates interested in pursuing careers in research to complete an independent project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The REU program also provides housing with other REU students, group lectures, career advising, and social activities.

title: Working with 3rd Party APIs
date: 2018-03-05 00:00:00
lang: en
description: To learn how to use a 3rd party API in our AWS Lambda functions, we are going to create a billing API using Stripe.
ref: working-with-3rd-party-apis
comments_id: working-with-3rd-party-apis/168
---

So far we've created a basic CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) API. We are going to make a small addition to this by adding an endpoint that works with a 3rd party API. This section is also going to illustrate how to work with environment variables and how to accept credit card payments using Stripe.

A common extension of SST (that we have noticed) is to add a billing API that works with Stripe. In the case of our notes app we are going to allow our users to pay a fee for storing a certain number of notes. The flow is going to look something like this:

1. The user is going to select the number of notes they want to store and puts in their credit card information.

2. We are going to generate a one time token by calling the Stripe SDK on the frontend to verify that the credit card info is valid.

3. We will then call an API passing in the number of notes and the generated token.

4. The API will take the number of notes, figure out how much to charge (based on our pricing plan), and call the Stripe API to charge our user.

We aren't going to do much else in the way of storing this info in our database. We'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.

To get started, [**follow the steps outlined in this chapter to create a Stripe account**]({% link _chapters/setup-a-stripe-account.md %}).

Now with Stripe keys, let's create a billing API.

In several genotypes of winter wheat a significant positive correlation between cold-induced frost tolerance and the accumulation of free proline in the leaves was found in earlier studies. Based on this observation the hypothesis was developed that proline accumulation and frost tolerance are causally connected. To test this hypothesis proline overproducing mutants from a Finnish winter wheat variety (Jo 3063) were produced by the in vitro technique using embryogenic calli which were exposed to hydroxyproline (Hyp) as selection agent. Regenerated hydroxyproline-resistant plants as well as their F1 to F5 progenies proved to possess higher proline content in their leaves as well as higher frost tolerance in leaves and whole plants after cold hardening under growth chamber and field conditions. The mutation seems to be due to a single incompletely dominant gene. Besides providing substantial evidence for a role of proline in the process of frost tolerance development the study opens the possibility of improving winter hardiness by this biotechnological method.
