It's quite nice to see it in print 🙂 In addition to doing the front cover I also had to create a bunch of other images for the album, plus the booklet. I therefore expanded on some of the techniques I used for the Some of the Creatures Have Broken the Locks on the Door to Lab 558 video.
The intro shots of swirling coloured liquid and some of the biological looking shots were created with food colouring and gelatin. I shot these using some macro tube extensions. These go between the camera and the lens and change the focal length of the lens, basically letting you get extreme close ups. This also means that you have to get your lens incredibly close to the subject – so close in fact that the bottom of the lens was actually in the water!
I wanted to have some biological looking images for use in the booklet so I did quite a few pics of gelatin and food colouring. You can get some really nice pics – this is all backlit using LED strips as you can see in the above pic.
This image is several different views of my tentacle puppet stitched together. I really like the way the light plays through the slime dripping of the tentacle. Slime makes everything better 😉 This is lit against a light box which I find is really good for giving you a pure white background. I figured it gave it a slightly clinical look, as though the tentacles were in a tank in a lab perhaps.
Finally, we did a few shots of my brothers eye for the video and so wanted to do the same for the album art. As it turns out getting an image that was in focus was extremely difficult. You need to have the camera incredibly close to the subject so this was only a few centimeters away from Tom's eye. Additionally, I was shooting it at F1.8 so the focal depth was incredibly narrow. So much so that even the slightest movement of the camera would make the image look out of focus. Of course it's also very difficult for someone to hold completely still so I had to constantly try and correct the focus. Because of the macro tube I was using, the lenses' focus ring didn't really make much of a difference to the focus.
This was less of an issue when shooting video as it didn't matter if it went out of focus occasionally, but it was a real pain taking stills! In the end I mounted my camera on a glide track so I could easily move it in and out to get the focus correct. I also used a fast shutter speed and relatively high ISO so I could grab the pic before it fell out of focus.
Here're my pics from this years Asylum. I hadn't taken that many by the end of the first day, but by the end of the weekend I'd taken over 400, so it took me a while to go through them all. Here's a pic of Amy from Aconite Creations – her costumes are always amazing.
And here's a Flickr gallery of the rest of my pics.
Finally, I found myself getting photographed a fair bit. Here're some cool pics taken by photographers at the event.
Two updates in one day?! Yes, I'm a little busier than usual. This is kind of tied into the 'Lab 558' video that I'm currently making as it's the album artwork for my brother's new album. I'll also be creating some inlay artwork using elements from the video.
I cleaned up the join between finger and tentacle in photoshop and isolated Tom and his hand separately using the path tool – I needed two masks as the hand's in focus and has a hard edge whereas the rest is out of focus and has a soft edge.
Finally we needed a reflection of a ruined city which I created in After Effect again using Element 3D and a few other Video Copilot stock elements. The tentacles are from Beast of the Air 😉 This was all combined together using some grime and glass elements which I added using various blending modes in photoshop.
So I attended The Asylum this year, Lincoln's steampunk festival. It was a great weekend and each year it gets busier and busier. Apparently over 2000 people attended this year.
I love seeing what people have come up with each year. The level of artistry on show is incredibly impressive and really inspiring.
I ended up taking over 400 pics and some 200 odd of those have ended up here.
Finally a mention of Amy Smith's amazing costume. She really outdoes herself each year.
Here's a gallery of my pics.
So I've finally got round to finishing my Dead Space model. It'd been sitting on a shelf gathering dust for some time.
I've been having fun taking some pics and then adding various effects to the finished pictures. I had in mind that these might be stills from a film or similar, hence the widescreen look.
There're more pics available on Flickr or on the main site.
I spent saturday taking pics of some recent sculptures. It's quite fun to set up backdrops and lights to get some decent shots. I even dug my old smoke machine out, although it's abit rubbish so I'm not sure you can really see the smoke much!
I started off by photographing Tom against a black background. In order to make it look like he was underwater we suspended his hair in the air with clips and fishing line.
The breathing apparatus was cobbled together the night before from some bits and pieces I had lying about. The frame around the tank was made of plastic and shot separately on green screen then comped in later.
The water was created using a variety of particle systems in After Effects. I also used various distortion effects to create bubbles and ripples and various other elements such as coloured smoke were overlaid over the original image.
All in all quite a fun project. Here's a Flickr gallery of all the images. Oh, and you can listen to the CD/EP, whatever it is, here.
Posted in Through These VeinsTagged Graphics, photographyLeave a Comment on Tom. In a box.
Just returned from Windemere where, other than holidaying, I was filming some establishing shots for the Beast of the Air video I'm working on (and very close to finishing).
Here's a still of the view, which was quite pleasant. I've used some video of this scene for the opening shot.
I know what you're thinking – what a nice view, but what it really needs is a giant steampunk tower in the background. Well look no further, here's the model I'm currently working on which will finally grace the forested hill on the left.
The idea is that the tower has been 'steampunked' itself and so it's broken areas have been clad in brass panelling. The airship will be docked at the platform that sticks out the side.
The chorus of the songs says that 'the beast of the air wails a sing, wails a song to keep us dreaming', so I figured that a sky kraken hunter might attract the beast by playing it's song back at it, to summon it from the heavens, hence the rather large megaphone attached to the top. This'll be attached to some rather large steam engines I think to generate enough power to summon the kraken!

Goldenrod is blooming in all its glory.(Photo: Les Harrison	,)
Autumn is here. Of course the calendar and moon phase tell us that fact, but check out the crops of bright yellow wildflowers growing along roadsides and fields. Goldenrod is blooming in all its glory.
Right away allergy sufferers will "sneeze" at the thought of goldenrod. But any botanist will probably tell you goldenrod does not cause hay fever. Its pollen is too heavy and sticky to be carried by the wind. One can blame ragweed, which blooms as the same time, for the sneezing. Frequent handling of the plant, like other flowers, can cause allergic reactions.
Young goldenrod leaves and the plant seeds were a source of food for Native Americans. They chewed the leaves for relief of toothaches and sore throats.
Considered weeds by many, goldenrod has been widely adopted by British gardeners.

Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and George Washington Carver were involved in experiments using goldenrod to produce rubber, which the plant contains naturally. Word is Ford, gave his friend Edison a Model T that had tires made of goldenrod rubber.
Goldenrod is the state flower of Kentucky and Nebraska, state herb of Delaware and state wildflower of South Carolina.

Those vast fields of the beautiful yellow flowers are a sure reminder to Pennsylvania hunters that hunting seasons are upon us.
Meeting house walk: Codorus State Park has scheduled a leisurely walk in the vicinity of the Wildasin Meeting House and its cemetery on Friday, Oct. 12 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Detailed will be the importance of the meeting house and its cemetery to the German settlers in the area.
Participants will meet at the Mountain Bike Parking Lot off Bankert Road.
Story continues after the video:
Hunt safely: Billboards, signs and other methods of advertising are being used by the Pennsylvania Game Commission to make hunters aware of a program to "Hunt Safely – Wear a Harness."
Knowing that nearly 40 hunters are injured each year from falls from tree stands resulting in traumatic injuries, the agency believes that if every hunter used a full-body harness when hanging, climbing and using a tree stand these injuries can be eliminated.
More: Hunter recovering after 20-foot fall from tree stand
In launching the program the agency says:
"In Pennsylvania, there's no requirement to report tree-stand falls, and even if there were, some falls inevitably would be missed. But by delving into records available on the Pennsylvania Trauma Systems Foundation database, Dr. Joseph Smith and his colleagues have compiled what's believed to be the only report on tree-stand falls endured by Pennsylvania hunters.
"Reports in the database go back to 1987, and Smith and his colleagues have documented 1,109 from 1987 to 2015. But in most cases, few other details about the falls – including what might have caused them – are available in the database.
"It makes it very hard to say very much," said Smith, who retired in April after a more than 35-year career in providing critical care, more than 30 of them spent at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville.
"Because the database includes only falls that resulted in the victim being taken to an accredited trauma center, it's hard to tell how many more falls remain undocumented. Hunters who seek medical treatment at non-trauma medical facilities, heal from minor injuries at home – even severely injured fall victims who die before making it to a hospital all are left out of this count.
"Falls sustained during preseason setup, postseason tear-down or scouting excursions also could be missed. To better ensure the falls studied were hunting-related, researchers limited their review to falls that occurred within or one day prior to an open deer season.
"Game Commissioner Michael Mitrick, a retiree since January after 36 years working as an orthopedist in York, said he routinely would see three or four patients a year who injured themselves while using tree stands, but likely never went to a trauma center.
"Their injuries might range from broken wrists to neck and back sprains to cuts and bruises – generally far less severe than the injuries documented in the report. But these cases help to better understand how frequently falls occur."

In this story of artistic obsession, a wounded man finds shelter in an abandoned château in the Appenines and with his valet settles into a small apartment in a remote turret. The oddly shaped room is full of paintings, and on his pillow the man finds a small book that appears to tell their stories. One painting in particular, of a beautiful girl, holds him spellbound, and, consulting the history book, he learns the startling secret of the oval portrait's extraordinary execution.
A pioneer of the short story genre, Edgar Allan Poe's stories typically captured themes of the macabre and included elements of the mysterious. His better-known stories include "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Pit and the Pendulum", "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Tell-Tale Heart".

New York Festivals Radio Awards 2018 | Double Gold Winner
New York Festivals Radio Awards 2018 | Double Gold Winner for "Bing Crosby In "The Road To Rock "n" Roll" - From Final Solution To Audio Revolution"
Conceived and co-produced by producer Steve Levine, Bing Crosby in 'The Road To Rock 'n' Roll' is written and co-produced by Lewis Borg-Cardona and is a Magnum Opus production for BBC Radio 2. This fascinating radio show won Gold in 2 categories at the New York Festivals Radio Awards 2018, including for "Best Writing". Pictured here is co-producer Lewis Borg-Cadona receiving the awards.
Presented by Academy Award nominated actress and singer (Sadie and the Hotheads) Elizabeth McGovern, this programme commemorates the fortieth anniversary of Bing Crosby's untimely passing whilst simultaneously celebrating a critical moment in the history of radio: the seventieth anniversary of the very first programme recorded on magnetic tape – Bing Crosby's Philco Radio Time.
It's the intriguing story of how entertainment great Bing Crosby was instrumental in adopting tape technology developed in Nazi Germany to change the face of the radio and recording industry. Thirty years after those far reaching changes, Bing spent the last month of his life almost entirely in England – apart from a fateful golfing trip to Spain, during which the crooner carded his last round.
The show takes an in-depth look at this period of time and it includes the recording of Bing's last Christmas Special and his final commercial album, Seasons; his UK regional tour; a two week London Palladium residency; and his radio swansong – a BBC session at Maida Vale.
As well as playing Crosby's music (and a rare example of Bing reciting poetry!), self-confessed fan Elizabeth unearths archive material from Philco Radio Time, plus the wartime BBC radio show Variety Bandbox. Vintage interviews include chats with Jack Mullin, Anne Shelton, Bing"s former wife Kathryn Crosby, Rosemary Clooney (aunt of Hollywood actor George Clooney), UK Comedian Ted Rogers and Alan Dell. There are also brand new interviews with the man who engineered Bing's last commercial recording, Steve Taylor; plus the Music Director of Bing's very last tour and BBC radio session, Gordon Rose.

Millie Jackson Exposed | Steve Levine
Millie Jackson Exposed - The Multi-Track Sessions Mixed By Steve Levine
"Millie Jackson Exposed" is scheduled for release on 29th June 2018 on the prestigious Ace Records label. This album showcases the fabulous songs of Millie Jackson and her talented musicians, mixed once more by Grammy Award winning British record producer Steve Levine to bring them into sharp focus. Buy "Millie Jackson Exposed" at Ace Records
This 24bit, 96kHz super high-res album mix is the result of a discussion between Roger Armstrong of Ace Records and producer Steve Levine. Roger and Steve both met at PPL where they both feature on the board, and discovered their mutual admiration of the stunning sound of Millie Jackson and her talented musicians. They hatched a plan to go over the Millie Jackson multi-track tapes to see if there was something new that could be created from them. The process was detailed; and thus began the transferral of all available analogue tapes to digital, and also the shipment of a significant drive packed with music over to Steve"s Liverpool studio.
Watch Steve Levine discuss how "Millie Jackson Exposed" was developed
After a process of sorting through the material, a potential track listing began to evolve. The repertoire that was chosen included a fine mix of dancers and grooves, always showcasing Millie"s amazing soul vocals. The bedrock of this album is absolutely fantastic - the recordings are such high quality, made in some of the best recording studios around, with some of the most talented musicians of the 70"s - including the Swampers at Muscle Shoals recording studios with David Hood, Roger Hawkins, Barry Beckett and Jimmy Johnson, and also background vocals from the fantastic Brandye and the Moments.
Many a time the tracks were recorded at the iconic Muscle Shoals Studio, which lent the material a super-solid groove, and the sweeteners were added later in New York, Philadelphia, or Detroit, using great arrangers including the legendary Mike Lewis and also David Van DePitte, who was well known for his work at Motown.
With such rich source material, it required a knowledgeable producer/engineer with a sympathetic ear and passion for the music to turn the tracks into something that sounded new and fresh, whilst utilising the advantages of modern digital technology, allowing for soundstages and editing that wasn"t possible at the time.
With Steve Levine"s producing background encompassing a plethora of genres including pop, rock and soul, and his work on the BBC2 show "The Record Producers", he was the ideal person to helm the multi-track tapes and see where this could lead. Steve"s new mix is a break away from the contemporary mix often heard in the charts (which uses small elements of the original to create a new track and "floating" the vocal on top).
The music you hear on "Millie Jackson Exposed" was performed on the original tracks - indeed it was thought that there is no sense adding anything when the original standard of musicianship was so stellar. Indeed the title "Exposed" was chosen due to the fact that Steve"s mix opens the sound right out, so you can hear the original instrumentation crystal clear. The tracks on "Exposed" are also extended, so this takes advantage of those classic grooves, looping them and adding a new dynamic.
This technique is best heard on "I Cry" - now featuring a dramatic, ethereal intro reminiscent of perhaps Portishead, which has the effect of adding even more drama to a lesser known but superb social commentary song from Millie Jackson.
Listen to the swirling reverb on 'If Loving You Is Wrong (I Don't Want To Be Right)' - this makes even more dramatic what is one of the most conflicted and disturbing lyrics in soul music.
The keyboards that drive "My Man, A Sweet Man" are revisited in a whole new way, as is the subtle dance groove of the steamy Isaac Hayes duet on "Sweet Music, Soft Lights And You". The intention on this album is to respectfully produce alternate versions of the music that were simply not possible at the time, drawing them closer to a more contemporary audio experience for our digital age (with an analogue heart).

An interesting development by ultra-luxury cruise company Silversea Cruises: offering a "Slow Food" program.
In collaboration with Slow Food Italy, the ultra-luxury cruise company has designed an exclusive three-night program that will highlight the culinary and cultural traditions of Tuscany and introduce participants to local wine producers and products that adhere to the Slow Food philosophy of preserving biodiversity and gastronomic traditions.
The program will be conducted with one or more members of Silversea's own culinary team on hand to provide participants with expert guidance and exclusive access to local producers committed to responsible and sustainable food production, as recommended by Slow Food. Participants might visit a dairy farm or stroll through olive groves and vineyards to learn the secrets of traditional food production. Guided by Silversea's culinary team, guests will gain a greater understanding of the region's wines as well as the ingredients carefully selected for the dishes served in , Silversea's Italian speciality restaurant — the only restaurant at sea that partners with Slow Food Italy to showcase products reflecting the standards of Slow Food.
And guess what winery headlines the "Slow Food Adventure in Tuscany"? Yup — Castello Banfi in Montalcino. The Tuscan tour debuts with three voyages in 2012, and includes three nights at Il Borgo. During the stay, guests will receive a cooking class and full tour of the winery and vineyards. More information can be found at Silversea.com.

The above state is functional. Switching (1) and (4) and uncommenting (2) and (3) correspond to the extension I'm trying to make, and results in the following failure:
AmbiguousRuleException:
Rules gather_things and join_all_words are ambiguous for the file results/allthings/all_yes.txt.
Expected input files:
    gather_things: results/a_1/all_yes.txt results/a_2/all_yes.txt results/b_1/all_yes.txt results/b_2/all_yes.txt results/c_1/all_yes.txt results/c_2/all_yes.txt
    join_all_words: results/allthings/foo_yes.txt results/allthings/bar_yes.txt results/allthings/baz_yes.txt

It seems that snakemake thinks that results/allthings/all_yes.txt can be generated by gather_things.
Why?
How can I avoid that?

Note: The goal of modifications (3) and (4) is to have the compute_md5 work on both the direct output of gather_things (for foo, bar and baz) and the joined output of the three (all), keeping input defined in terms of other rule's output as much as possible (which makes changes easier than when file names are explicitly used).

A: 2017-07-28 Post edited for brevity
Initially I thought it was just ambiguity. The first 3 points relate to resolving ambiguity. Afterwards, I explain how to generalize 'compute_md5' to achieve desired behaviour.
Controlling ambiguity
1) Control flowing the ambiguity:
ruleorder
http://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snakefiles/rules.html?highlight=ruleorder#handling-ambiguous-rules
I suggest avoiding this in the following situation. In the grand hopes of modularity, by using "ruleorder" you are essentially coupling two rules together. The "ruleorder" functionality can only be used if both rules are present within the Snakefile's scope. This can be a problem with modularization if the rules are not always provided together. If they rules are always provided together, I would argue they are already coupled, and doing this doesn't make the situation worse, in fact, in increases cohesion. Use "ruleorder" when using 'constraints' isn't enough, as sometimes where will be unavoidable ambiguity.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRASP_(object-oriented_design)
conditional 'includes'
https://github.com/tboyarski/BCCRC-Snakemake/tree/master/modules/bamGen
Rule order is in the "_INCLUDE"
Outputs for sam2BAM and bamALIGN_bwa are very similar, mainly becuase sam2BAM is so generic.
Because bamALIGN_bwa and bamALIGN_star are technically switchable, and I didn't want users swapping around ruleorder just to switch between them, I have a boolean which I store in my YAML file, to act as a hard filter to literally prevent Snakemake from even seeing the rule. This works great in situations where you can ONLY pick one or the other (In this case, the two aligners have their own reference genomes. I force the user to set the reference genome at the begging of my pipeline so users could NEVER actually run both. I have not implemented functionality to detect which reference genome is being used such that the corresponding aligner is then chosen. This would be some over-head python code, great idea, but not currently implemented).
2) Asking Snakemake to ignore the ambiguity.
With an over-ride. It exists, but I think "--allow-ambiguity" should be avoided whenever possible.
http://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snakefiles/rules.html?highlight=--allow-ambiguity#handling-ambiguous-rules
3) Elegantly ~ Preventing the ambiguity.
http://snakemake.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snakefiles/rules.html?highlight=wildcard_constraints#wildcards
rule gather_things:
     input:
         expand("results/{letter}_{number}/{{word}}_{{choice}}.txt", letter=LETTERS, number=NUMBERS)
     output:
         "results/allthings/{word}_{choice}.txt"
      wildcard_constraints:
         word='[^(all)][0-9a-zA-Z]*'
...

This rule needs a wildcard_constraint, to prevent it from competing with the "join_all_words" rule. This is done easily by preventing the wildcard "word" here, from being the string 'all'. This makes "gather_things" and "join_all_words" differentiable.
compute_md5 generalizability
As for getting "compute_md5" to accept input from both "gather_things" and "join_all_words", this requires making it more generalized, nothing to do with ambiguity. The next thing you need to do is adjust the "join_all_words" rule, such that it is not dependent on ANY given rule's input.

I just want to also thank you for providing a TOP-NOTCH example to work from. Brilliant!

 LETTERS = ["a", "b", "c"]

 CHOICES = ["yes", "no"]

Thomas Frank feels Brentford are in good shape despite the recent lack of games
By Press Association
Brentford manager Thomas Frank is confident ahead of his side's trip to Brighton (John Walton/PA)
Brentford manager Thomas Frank feels his side are in good shape despite their recent lack of activity.
The Bees have not played in the Premier League for a fortnight after matches against Manchester United and Southampton were postponed.
They returned to action in midweek as they faced Chelsea in their Carabao Cup quarter-final and, even though they lost, Frank was pleased enough with how the team looked.
Brentford were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Chelsea but Thomas Frank was happy enough with the performance (Nick Potts/PA)
The Dane is now feeling confident ahead of the Boxing Day trip to Brighton.
"I'm very pleased," said Frank, whose side are 12th in the table after 16 games of their first Premier League campaign.
"I would say, from the Everton game to the Chelsea game, all five performances were very good.
"We were very strong defensively, giving very limited chances away to the opponents and trying to build more on the attacking side. I'm pleased, we're in a good place and we'd like to carry on."
Brighton condemned Brentford to their first Premier League defeat when they nicked a 1-0 victory with an injury-time Leandro Trossard goal when the sides last met in September.

Frank expects another tight contest at the Amex Stadium this time around.
He said: "It was a totally even game but if there should have been a narrow winner it should have been us.
"They just showed a bit of quality and class in the last minute with Trossard. From our side, especially the first half, I was very pleased.
"It will be two teams that try to get on the ball. The team that shows the quality in the crucial moments will win the game and hopefully that will be us."
The two sides are currently level on points with Brentford just a place ahead courtesy of a slightly superior goal difference.
Frank said: "I think they have done very well. Graham (Potter) and his staff are doing a job down there. They have developed year on year and this season I think they have been a bit like us, they should have more points."

Master's Hammer are a black metal band from the Czech Republic.  The band has remained active with several lineup changes between 1987 and 1995, with a reunion from 2009 to the present.

It is considered one of the most representative groups of its kind in the country, in interpreting their songs entirely in Czech. In addition, it is one of the precursors to incorporate symphonic metal elements. To a lesser extent, they have experimented with electronic sounds or avant-garde metal.

History
They were founded in 1987 and produced several demos, before releasing their debut album Ritual in 1991, which sold more than 25,000 copies in the Czech Republic according to the band. Two years later they completed The Jilemnice Occultist (often misspelt as The Filemnice Occultist due to a typo on the booklet).

Their third album (Šlágry in 1995) was a drift away from the previous work incorporating many styles outside the metal genre, and the band announced "that Šlágry II and a forthcoming CD-ROM will rely more on professional opera singers and orchestra players", although this following album was never released.

In 2009 Master's Hammer reformed and released Mantras, their first album in 14 years.

In late 2012, a fifth album called Vracejte konve na místo was released. It was awarded "best hard and heavy album" in that year's Czech music Awards and Břitva Awards.

In July 2013, Master's Hammer formed their own record label, called Jihosound Records, under which they released their sixth studio album in 2014, entitled Vagus Vetus. On 30 May 2016 they released their seventh studio album, Formulæ.

On 8 December 2016 the band announced on their official Facebook page that they had been scheduled to play at the Brutal Assault festival in August 2017, their first live performance in 25 years.

On 10 February 2018 the band released their eighth studio album, Fascinator.

Musical style
In Kerrang!, Master's Hammer's style was described as "fusing thrash with classical themes", and The Jilemnice Occultist was called "an operetta in three acts featuring such extraordinary titles as 'That Magnificent Deer Has Vanished In The Bush' and 'I Don't Want, Sirs to Pester Your Ears'". Götz Kühnemund from German Rock Hard magazine compared the concept album The Jilemnice Occultist to King Diamond although Master's Hammer's style was "considerably more uncompromising", but the vocals "sound like a mixture of deep King Diamond voices and Quorthon's guttural grunts", Bathory being an obvious influence although Master's Hammer have a sound of their own including keyboards, classical instruments and orchestral passages.

When asked about Ritual, Fenriz, the drummer of the influential Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone, noted that the album "is actually the first Norwegian black metal album, even though they are from Czechoslovakia".

On Šlágry, the band "virtually abandoned the operatic black metal of previous releases in favor of modernist electronic music" and "shares publishing credits with Carl Czerny, Otto Katz, and Giuseppe Verdi, mixing bits of metal, folk, and musique concrète into a style based on the classical avant-garde".

New Darwin Triple Crown Trophy revealed
Saturday 15th August, 2020 - 9:20am
The new Darwin Triple Crown Trophy
Supercars has revealed its new Darwin Triple Crown trophy, which will be awarded at Hidden Valley Raceway this weekend.
Unveiled ahead of the three-race weekend, the Triple Crown trophy features iconography associated with the Northern Territory, including boomerangs and a crocodile.
Traditionally, the Triple Crown title has been awarded to the driver who clean sweeps the weekend.
However, for the first time in the event's history, the Triple Crown will be awarded to the driver who accumulates the most points across the weekend.
Last year Shell V-Power Racing Team driver Scott McLaughlin won the Triple Crown, becoming the first driver in the sport's history to win both races in 2019.
"I've always really enjoyed this track, we've had really good cars, I'm excited we won the Triple Crown when someone hadn't done it for twenty years and we were able to do it," McLaughlin said today.
"Everyone is going to have the chance to win it this year, so it's going to be a lot of run trying to hopefully go back-to-back and see if we can get a round win."
McLaughlin currently leads the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship and has three wins to his credit, the most of anyone this season.
Red Bull Holden Racing Team driver Jamie Whincup trails the Kiwi by 107 points while Chaz Mostert sits third for Mobil 1 Appliances Online Racing.
The Darwin Triple Crown gets underway with Rookie Practice at 10:10 local time/10:40 AEST.

Q: What is the difference between [dependencies] and [dependencies.dependency-name] in Cargo.toml? I have been looking at the Cargo.toml files for the substrate-node-template and noticed that for most of the crates a dependency is listed as something like:
[dependencies.grandpa]
package = 'sc-finality-grandpa'
version = '0.8.0-alpha.5'

What is the difference between that and listing under [dependencies] like:
[dependencies]
sc-finality-grandpa = '0.8.0-alpha.5'

I looked around Rust's docs for cargo and didn't see anything about the [dependencies.dependency-name] format.
Any explanation or link to relevant docs would be great! Thanks.

A: As was mentioned in a comment, this is a combination of how TOML works combined with a cargo feature that allows renaming dependencies.
Your first dependency listing renames the package to grandpa and is the reason that format was chosen.


I'm an open, communicative person. I want to grow as professionally as possible. I have studied both the Bachelor's and the Master's courses in green energy. And now I have been interested in studying green energy engineering and management at my doctorate. Practically my PhD thesis will focus on the development of sustainable bioenergy communities. In the area where I live there are rural communities with a high degree of green waste and I want to develop some green rural communities. I have also participated in several exchanges of experience and working visits in Austria, I have inspired and have already had some achievements in communities. Now I want to find out more for a more sustainable development plus help for my future thesis.

Column: It's time to change NBA draft rules
By Tim ReynoldsAP Basketball Writer
Mar 6, 2018 at 5:19 PM Mar 6, 2018 at 5:19 PM
The Answer for the NBA and NCAA truly is the G League
The NBA says it is seeking an answer to the one-and-done issue, and that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
It already has an answer.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has acknowledged for years that the current plan — where players have to be 19 years old and a year out of high school before reaching the league — doesn't work. The NBA has talked about raising the minimum age to 20. The players have talked about lowering the minimum age to 18.
So the solution is obvious. Do both.
If a player is ready at 18, let him join the NBA.
If he wants to go to college first, make him stay there at least two years.
Everybody wins.
"Some kids think they're ready when they're really not, but still have aspirations to play professional basketball your whole life," said Phoenix star guard Devin Booker, a one-and-done collegian at Kentucky who doesn't seem too far away from joining the ranks of the NBA elite. "And I don't think you should be forced to go to college."
Thing is, that's exactly what is happening.
Most likely there are Division I underclassmen right now, with the NCAA Tournament looming, who aren't going to class anymore because by the time the spring semester grades come out they'll have left school and declared themselves eligible for the draft. They're just biding their time before they can enter the workforce of their choosing.
"Kids should be going to college because they want a college education," Detroit coach — and former Division I and Division III coach — Stan Van Gundy said. "There really shouldn't be another reason that kids should be going to college and we're forcing them into this system. For one-and-dones, that means they're going to go to school for one semester and they've got to get a C in two classes to be eligible. They're not there for that."
The rule was changed 13 years ago, in part to protect the owners from themselves.
It isn't Kwame Brown's fault that he was drafted No. 1 overall immediately out of high school in 2001 and never became an All-Star. He didn't pick himself. Washington picked him. It didn't work. That's not the system's fault. That system worked just fine for LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler, Tracy McGrady and plenty of others.
Jonathan Bender, Darius Miles, Andrew Bynum, not so much.
The answer to this conundrum, for both the NBA and the NCAA: The G League.
Who knows how things would have worked out for those three guys — and many others, Brown included — if the G League was then what it is now. The G League, as currently constructed, is up to 26 teams. Washington will join next season, New Orleans will then likely be next, and at that point Silver should simply order Portland and Denver to be like everyone else and add a franchise.
And then the NBA will have a true development league. It won't reach its full potential until there are 30 franchises, one for each NBA club. Until then, the salaries — $25,000 or so for the majority of players, except for those on two-way deals making as much as $250,000 or so — won't be able to get where near they need to be, either.
"I think the question for the league is, in terms of their ultimate success, are we better off intersecting with them a little bit younger?" Silver said last month at the All-Star Game. "Are we better off bringing them into the league when they're 18 using our G League as it was designed to be as a Development League and getting them minutes on the court there?"
Put simply, that answer is yes.
It would have to be addressed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, but the NBA Players Association would be on board so that won't be an issue.
The addition of two-way contracts this season has worked; more than 100 rookies have gotten a taste of NBA life this season, the highest total since the league's earliest days seven decades ago. If a team wants to draft an 18-year-old and he proves not to be ready for the rigors of the NBA, they can send him down to their farm team in Sioux Falls or Rio Grande or Lakeland and let him keep developing within their system.
Plus, they can pay him.
Which the NCAA can't — or won't — do. That has made the NBA's age limit an easy target for the NCAA's woes.
A federal investigation into college basketball revealed what many suspected and others knew: Plenty of recruits and players are getting paid, and the scandal the game is facing right now will likely be felt for years to come. If an 18-year-old can go to the NBA and start getting paid for his labor, that should be allowed to happen. It's not the NBA's job to clean up college basketball, and eliminating the age limit won't eliminate that problem, but it'll help at least with the optics.
It'll be good business for the NBA. The first 10 collegians taken in last year's draft were freshmen. The first 10 in this year's draft might be the same. Some of these kids are NBA-ready. Some aren't.
The NBA has used the NCAA to determine who is worth the risk. Now they don't have to totally rely on college hoops.
"The quickest way to learn how to play in this game is to play in this game, against adults," Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said. "It is a different game than college."
And that's why it's time to change the rules. Just give it a year or two.

Foreclosure is quicker and easier with a deed of trust.
When a borrower takes out a mortgage loan, the lender asks him to sign a mortgage deed or a deed of trust. Both types of deed evidence the debt. Both create a lien on real estate and both typically are recorded in the county records office, which notifies the public about the lien. The main difference relates to foreclosure. In states where deeds of trust are customary, lenders can foreclose without involving the courts.
A mortgage is signed by two parties: the borrower and the lender. A trust deed, on the other hand, involves three. Under this latter arrangement, the borrower transfers his title to an independent trustee. A title company, escrow company or the trustee function of the lending bank typically fulfills this function. The trustee holds the title until the loan is paid off, at which point the trustee transfers it back to the borrower. If the borrower defaults -- for example, he falls behind with payments or violates the mortgage conditions -- the trustee can foreclose on the lender's behalf.
A lender with a traditional mortgage starts the foreclosure process by filing a lawsuit. The lawsuit describes the debt and asks the court for an order permitting the lender to force a sale of the home. If the lender is successful, the court orders a sheriff's sale. In most states, title goes to the highest bidder. However, the borrower keeps a right of redemption. This allows the borrower to pay off the title holder and take back her title. Depending on where she lives, the borrower may have the right to redeem her home for several years after the sheriff's sale.
A lender that holds a deed of trust can foreclose without going to court using a process called nonjudicial foreclosure. The lender starts the process by issuing a default notice. State law regulates service of the notice and gives the borrower a certain amount of time to bring the loan current, typically around 90 days. If the borrower doesn't fix the delinquency, the property goes straight to auction. The highest bidder wins. If no one else bids, the lender takes title.
Generally, the borrower has until the foreclosure sale to bring the loan current and "cure" the default. This stops the foreclosure process. If the borrower disagrees with the default notice, he must file a lawsuit against the lender. Thus, in nonjudicial foreclosure, the onus is on the borrower to begin court action; the foreclosure cannot be stopped in any other way. Once the sale takes place, the borrower has no right of redemption and no second chance to repay the loan.
While nonjudicial foreclosure offers the lender a faster, cheaper foreclosure process with a clearer outcome, a lender who uses nonjudicial foreclosure loses her right to a deficiency judgment against the borrower. This means that if the home sells at auction for a lower price than the value of the debt, the lender must write off the deficit. Judicial foreclosure, on the other hand, lets the lender sue the borrower for any shortfall.
"If a Second Deed of Trust Is Foreclosed on, What Happens to the First Deed of Trust?"
Can a Trustee Change in Foreclosure?
What Makes a Deed of Trust Unenforceable?
What Happens After a Sheriff's Auction Home Does Not Sell?
Who Owns the Deed of Trust?
What Is a Lien on the Property That Secures the Promise to Repay a Loan?


All you really need to know about archery is that Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor so that makes it all right in anyone's book, right? That was our attempt at being funny obviously, but Robin Hood was one of the first pop culture icons to truly glorify the great sport of archery. The amazing thing about archery is that its roots date back to tens of thousands of years BC when bows and arrows were used specifically for hunting and survival. As time went on and other tools for completing those tasks were created the use of a bow and arrow become much more recreational and eventually become a sport called archery in the eighteenth century. There have been archers and bowmen across the world for the last four centuries and the International Archery Federation (FITA) has governed the sport since 1931. As a modern sport, archery can be seen in its different competitive forms like target archery, field archery, 3D archery, clout archery, and crossbow archery or even ski archery. Each type is a different variation of the sport using a different type of bow and arrow, target and scoring system.
Our directory on the sport of archery will offer up information that's palatable and interesting to archery enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Whether you've never picked up a bow or you're an Olympic archer, our Archery directory should be your first stop as you hunt for great facts, resources and websites about Archery.

After the success of my Summer Holiday Library Events back in August, I realised how well it worked to visit three libraries, back to back, in the same area for Story Time! It's great for promoting the libraries in that area, plus it also means, if families miss one session, they have the opportunity to catch me on another day!
I decided to head into the Kensington and Chelsea area for my October Half Term Holiday Story Times. I brought my circus Story Time to Chelsea and introduced everyone to my audiobook Billy Joins the Circus. It was extremely popular!
My first Story Time was at North Kensington Library on Monday 22nd October. The library was absolutely buzzing with so many families and children and I couldn't wait to get started! To be honest, I lost count of how many children were there but I did notice it was a very young 'rhyme time' style group!
The parents loved Billy's song and on the lyric "I can jump up and down" they all lifted their little ones high up in the air and they were all laughing and smiling and singing along! It was adorable!
My second Story Time was at Chelsea Library on Tuesday 23rd October. They had kindly hung my poster up on the noticeboard by the entrance which was brilliant! The library is inside a beautiful Grade II listed building which also doubles as The Old Town Hall.
I thoroughly enjoyed the session with a lovely group of mixed aged children. I find it quite fascinating to see how different aged children interpret the stories through their drawings.
My last visit on Friday 26th October was to Brompton Library and once again, I was greeted at the library by lots of happy faces! The children greatly enjoyed my style of circus storytelling and doing the related activities. It really was a great week of fun and laughter with the children at RBKC Libraries and I can't wait to return to Chelsea next year!
Visit the Kids Corner to see some of the brilliant children's drawings I collected.

Q: Presentations of subgroups of S6 as permutations Computer science professor, self-taught abstract algebraist.  Beginner with GAP and SAGE.
Can someone show me the quickest way to, when given the description of a subgroup of S6, obtain its presentation in terms of permutations?
I've found this as a resource that lists all S6 subgroups:  http://schmidt.nuigalway.ie/subgroups/s6.pdf
and read the various group Wikis.  Also read this:  Subgroups of $S_6$
Currently messing around with GAP and SAGE.  Not yet convinced either of them will do what I want.
Basically, I am looking for the smallest permutation subgroup of S6 that has a certain property.  Getting them in the right form isn't hard for subgroups of small order, but it gets tougher as they get larger.  At the moment, I look at (say) the subgroups of order 18, of which if I understand the literature correctly there are two up to isomorphism.  I find their presentation, and then have to try various things to get the elements as members of S6.  For example, if I'm understanding things correctly, after a lot of work I was able to represent S3 x Z3 as (a,b,c) of order 6, (d,e,f) of order 3, a^2 = b^c = c^2, a^4=b^4=c^4, a=(1 2)(3 4 5), b=(1 6)(3 4 5), c=(2 6)(3 4 5), d=(1 2 6)(3 4 5), e=(1 6 2)(3 4 5), f=(1 2 3).  At least, I hope that's what I did :-).
This is hit-or-miss, there's got to be a better way.  As a bonus, I want to choose representations where every number appears at least once in at least one of the elements if such a representation can be found.  For example, the obvious representation of S5 wouldn't suffice, since that set of permutations would never permute 6.
Grateful for any pointers, things to read, commands in GAP or SAGE, etc.  Relative newcomer to group theory, apologies if I'm missing something well-known in the field.  Thank you!

A: Here we use Sage, but Sage calls GAP for all these computations
so one might prefer to work directly in GAP.
Define the symmetric group on 6 elements:
sage: S = SymmetricGroup(6)
sage: S
Symmetric group of order 6! as a permutation group

Give the symmetric group on 6 elements a shorter name:
sage: S.rename('S_6')
sage: S
S_6

Build the list of its subgroups:
sage: GG = S.subgroups()

How many subgroups:
sage: len(GG)

Subgroup generated by [(5,6)] of (S_6)
sage: GG[1200]
Subgroup generated by [(1,2,4), (1,5)(2,3)(4,6)] of (S_6)

Sort them by order:
sage: from collections import defaultdict
sage: subgroups_of_order = defaultdict(list)
sage: for G in GG:
....:     subgroups_of_order[G.order()].append(G)
....:

Ed Alton's music has maintained a constant presence on prime time TV for nearly 30 years. To date, he has composed scores for over 530 episodes of 31 different prime time network TV series. For 21 of those series he also composed the Main Title themes. Daily Variety recognized Alton as one of TV's top theme composers when it listed him as #5 among Nielsen's Top 90's TV Themesters. His career has been distinguished by numerious accolades including five ASCAP Top TV Composer Awards, an Emmy Nomination, and several Gold & Platimun record awards. For the stage, Alton has collaborated with authors Billy Van Zandt & Jane Milmore to score the musicals "A Night at the Nutcracker" "The Pennies" & "Merrily We Dance & Sing".
One of the most fascinating aspects of Ballerina Black is how this California indie-rock band conjures such a dark melancholy, amid sunny skies and bright beaches. These Angelenos are frequently mistaken for an English act, which explains why they had such a successful reception on their U.K. tour last summer.With a sound described as Mope-Rock or Grave-Wave, Bobby Moynahan manuvers the morose corners of the post-punk 80's with grand melodies. Supported by long-time friends and members, bassist Esli Sugich and expansive synths and guitars from Scott Eton, the guys have accumulated a wealth of material; dating from 2010. The band has had the opportunity to open up for the likes of Interpol and Silversun Pickups in their hometown's Greek Theatre. Pitted as the next Cure, nobody captures such a reminiscent sound in a more unique and honest way.The band anxiously prepares to deliver their next EP "East Linus" by the end of Spring 2016.

Baten Kaitos GameCube mClassic Comparison
Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
Today we take a look at Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean! This is the GameCube version of the game running on the softmodded Wii U. The GameCube hardware doesn't natively output via HDMI so my solution for this is a softmodded Wii U running the game at 480p and then using an mClassic HDMI add-on to upscale to 1080p. You can see in the comparison video the difference mClassic makes for these older games.
The existence of Earth, a planet of continents surrounded by deep oceans, has long become a mere legend. People live now on islands that are floating high in the skies. They also have wings – "Wings of the Hearts" – growing on their backs. Kalas is a young man who was born only with one wing – he replaces the second with an artificial wing manufactured by great masters. He is on a quest to find the murderers of his grandfather and his brother. He meets a girl named Xelha, who is out to stop an evil conspiracy that threatens the country, and they join forces against the newly appeared evil.
In this game, you don't only control Kalas and his party, but also play the role of Kalas' Guardian Spirit. From time to time Kalas will pose questions to you and ask for advice. Your answers will determine Kalas' general disposition and also his behavior in battles.
Baten Kaitos Game Play
The gameplay system is largely based on cards. Many items in the game – from weapons to simple items like trees or milk – possess a so-called "Magna essence", which allows you to store it and to transform items into cards that you can later use in battles as weapons, attack spells, defensive moves, or for healing purposes. The enemies in the game are not random, but visible on the screen. When you contact an enemy, a turn-based battle begins. Your party is dealt with a set of random cards from your inventory, and you must plan your turn according to the cards you have.
