Chapter 430: Special Training
Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu
When they saw Ling Han return dragging two "dead dogs" behind him, everyone in Forget Not were dumbfounded.
That was too awesome, wasn't it? Those two were geniuses close to the top twenty on the Prodigy Roll, and Ling Han simply knocked them out just like that?
By now, Liu Yu Tong and the others had returned as well. Naturally, they were made aware of the situation and they, too, were extremely shocked. Ling Han actually managed to easily capture two elite cultivators on the Prodigy Roll; that kind of battle prowess was really too astonishing.
Ling Han withdrew the Blood Sucking Origin Gold and said, "Wu Jiu, you watch over them and have them work hard. If they dare to goof off, give them a good thrashing. There's no need to be reserved." He had already sealed off both their cultivation.
"Yes!" Zhu Wu Jiu hurriedly nodded. Since that was what Ling Han had said, then no matter what, he would obey. Who cared what sect or faction stood behind these two?
Shui Gu Cheng returned to consciousness, but with his cultivation sealed, he could only bow his head and concede. Otherwise, if he was really thrashed by a minor character like Zhu Wu Jiu, how could he bear with the humiliation? Ji De Rong had complained the whole way, but had also become obedient. The both of them really did obediently carried trays and served dishes; they had really become waiters in the restaurant.
The hole in the wall had been temporarily blocked up, and the restaurant was once again in business. As it was well-known, there was naturally no shortage of customers, and there were some who had followed Ling Han all the way here. When they saw that there were two elites on the Prodigy Roll working as waiters here, how could they not come in for a meal too?
In the future, if they said that they had once been served by someone on the Prodigy Roll before, wouldn't that attract massive amounts of envy?
When they got hold of the menu, they first experienced a shock. What kind of damn thing was this? The price of one dish was actually one Origin Crystal? But when they saw that so many others had already placed their orders, added together with the fact that the aroma was indeed tempting, they, too, could not help but order a dish to have a taste.
There was naturally no need to explain the result of their decision.
"Waiter, give me another serving of this Extreme Treasure!"
"Me too!"
"Here too!"
Shui Gu Cheng and Ji De Rong really wanted to cry but had no tears left. Just think, the two of them were ranked elite cultivators on the Prodigy Roll, yet they had now fallen to the level of waiters carrying serving trays. What was even more depressing was the fact that the business of this place was extremely booming, which made them race and scramble back and forth. This was even more tiring than fighting in a battle.
"How many of you want to take part in the Prodigy Tournament?" On the third floor, Ling Han asked the group.
"Me!""Me!""Me!"
Liu Yu Tong and the others all raised their hands. Except for Li Si Chan and Guang Yuan, everyone expressed their desire to participate. Even Hu Niu raised her small hand high up into the air.
Ling Han gave them a look over. Can Ye was now in the third layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier and had nine Battle Stars of battle prowess. Liu Yu Tong was in the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, and her battle prowess was ten Battle Stars. Zhu Wu Jiu was in the first layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier, with battle prowess of nine Battle Stars. He said, "There is still about a month's time. Let me think of how to give you guys some special training and help you all increase your battle prowess to at least fifteen Battle Stars. Otherwise, it'd be better for you not to go and embarrass yourselves!"
"There's just one month, can we really improve so much?" Liu Yu Tong was a little disbelieving.
Ling Han showed off what looked to be the smile of a demon and replied, "Believe me. As long as you all will not have died, it will not be difficult for you to reach fifteen Battle Stars."
When they saw that kind of smile on his face, Liu Yu Tong and the others all shivered, feeling coldness wrap around their entire bodies. They felt a strong sense of foreboding.
Ling Han rubbed Hu Niu's head and said, "From the looks of the current situation, only Niu Niu would be able to get into the ranks, and it would not be hard for her to make it into the top ten." He paused a moment, then said, "If Niu Niu breaks through to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier, then the first place would be in the bag."
"Hehe!" Hu Niu laughed proudly, showing off her little white teeth.
Liu Yu Tong and the others were all astonished. They had never imagined that Ling Han would judge Hu Niu so highly; this was just a six-year-old little girl! Moreover, Hu Niu was going to break through to the Spiritual Pedestal Tier? Hiss!
"Wait, Young Master Han, are you not participating?" Zhu Wu Jiu asked blankly.
"Che, there's no prize, so why would I participate?" Ling Han fanned his hand, waving off the question.
Can Ye was shocked and exclaimed, "Young Master Han, being able to rank onto the Prodigy Roll represents the ultimate glory!"
Ling Han merely smiled. As someone who had once been the Alchemy Emperor and an elite cultivator of the Heaven Tier in his last life, did he need a ranking on the Prodigy Roll to prove himself? Moreover, after he had met Yao Hui Yue, he had increasingly not taken this Prodigy Roll seriously.
"Niu is enough. Get first place, give Ling Han!" Hu Niu declared, patting her little chest.
Ling Han laughed loudly and said, "All right, then this time will depend on Niu Niu."
Two geniuses on the Prodigy Roll had actually regressed to working as waiters in a restaurant; this naturally created a tumultuous commotion. Everyday, there would be visitors attracted to come. Their initial reason was naturally to experience the wonderful feeling of being served by someone fon the Prodigy Roll. However, as long as they had eaten the precious delicacies of Forget Not, there would definitely be huge groups of return customers.
Unfortunately, there was limited space in the restaurant. Even if it opened from morning all the way to late night, customers had still lined up in long queues, which made Liu Yu Tong think of opening up a branch. After getting Ling Han's approval, she immediately began looking for a new venue in high spirits.
In the blink of an eye, another ten days had passed, and Liu Yu Tong and the others have also experienced a real hell-like cultivation session within the Black Tower.
Ling Han was really training them to the point of near death. The difficulty of their training was enough to cause shivers. Everyday, when their training had ended, they would immediately fall asleep the moment they lay down. This also caused Liu Yu Tong's plan to choose a new venue to be postponed until further notice.
However, the effects were also extremely shocking. After squeezing out the potential hidden in all of them, the cultivation of Liu Yu Tong and the others had very visibly improved. This made Guang Yuan envious, and he, too, joined them for the training.
As a result, very soon, they experienced both pain and pleasure at the same time. The four's cultivation improved very quickly, but this experience had also become a nightmare that would follow them for the rest of their lives.
Ling Han went off to the Spirit Treasures Pavilion again and made some more queries about the Nine Leaf Black Ganoderma, but Yin Hong still told him to wait. He then went to Forget Not. At this moment, Liu Yu Tong and the others were training like crazy in the Black Tower, so he naturally had to take charge of more of the restaurant's matters.
"Get lost!" However, he had just arrived at Forget Not and had not yet entered when two people stopped him from going further.
What a joke; this was his business, and there was actually someone hailing him over in front of his own business?
"This whole place has been reserved by my Young Master. It will not serve any others today, so get lost! Get lost!" One man waved his hand at Ling Han disdainfully.
Ling Han frowned. He had never allowed the whole restaurant to be reserved before. Looks like this so-called young master had done so by force. Since the latter had done things forcefully, he would not be reserved, either. He directly stretched out both hands and picked up the two of them. Then he pulled the two of them towards each other. Pa , the two of them were knocked unconscious.
He walked in and saw that his waiters were trembling with fear. Meanwhile, Shui Gu Cheng and Ji De Rong had a few footprints on their bodies; obviously, they had been kicked.
There was only a single table in the whole hall on the first floor, where a young man sat. He had an arrogant demeanor as if he wanted nothing more to walk around with his nose pointing up at the sky. He was at most twenty years old, and there were four servants standing behind him. All of them wore expressions of flattery.
"Hey, hey, hey, the taste is really not bad! Really not bad!" the young man said, as he continued eating.
Ling Han walked over, and those four servants immediately turned towards Ling Han, and rebuked, "My Young Master has booked this whole place. Get out of here."
"This is the first time that I have heard that the owner can't even enter his own place," Ling Han stated calmly.
"Oh, so you're the boss of this restaurant?" The young man glanced towards Ling Han, beckoned him over, and said, "You don't have to open up business this month. After I have finished watching the Prodigy Tournament, you just follow me back. I guarantee that it will not be your loss."
"Aren't you going to thank Young Master Long?" the four servants reprimanded at the same time.

Hunt for missing Oxford Brookes student Richard Okorogheye, 19, switches to Essex
March 31, 2021 Dianne Reeves Online news
Police searching for missing student Richard Okorogheye are now combing through parts of Essex after new CCTV images showed him walking towards Epping Forest.
Detectives have moved their search to Essex after a new confirmed sighting showed the Oxford Brookes University student, 19, walking alone on Smarts Lane, Loughton, towards Epping Forest at 12.39am on March 23.
Mr Okorogheye is believed to have left his family home in the Ladbroke Grove area of west London on the evening of March 22 and was reported missing two days later.
Police enquiries have now established that Mr Okorogheye then took a taxi towards the residential street in Loughton.
Specialist search teams are now working around the clock to trace the student's steps after the latest sighting and have begun searches in and around the forest as well as carrying out door-to-door enquiries.

Officers have been carrying out door-to-door enquiries and searches of the area after the student was spotted on the residential street (GV of street pictured)
Detective Chief Inspector Nicki Beecher, from the from the Met's Area West Public Protection Unit, said: 'It has now been nine days since Richard was last seen in person and we remain as committed as ever to locating him and bringing him home to his family.
'Our officers are working extremely hard to piece together the facts in order to build a picture of Richard's movements on the evening of Monday, 22 March.
'Latest information suggests he was last seen in Loughton in Essex and we are now focusing our attention here with specialist search officers from across the Met brought in to assist.
'Our enquiries also continue in the Ladbroke Grove, W10 area where local officers have been carrying out search patrols and also community patrols to gather information from local residents.
'I would once again like to renew our appeal to the public for any information which may assist with our enquiries. If you may have seen Richard – particularly in the Loughton area – or have any information at all, please contact police.'
The Met said Mr Okorogheye left his home and headed in the direction of Ladbroke Grove on March 22 at approximately 8.30pm.
He was seen boarding the 23 southbound bus in Ladbroke Grove at 8.44pm and CCTV footage showed the student wearing an all-black outfit and carrying across his lower back a black satchel-bag featuring a white Adidas logo.
Police said it was unknown at which stop Mr Okorogheye got off the bus.
Mr Okorogheye's mother Evidence Joel previously said the Oxford Brookes University student had spoken of 'struggling to cope' with university pressures and had been shielding during the Covid-19
As someone with sickle cell disease, Mr Okorogheye would only leave the house to go to hospital for regular blood transfusions for his condition.
The Metropolitan Police said the 19-year-old (pictured) left his home and headed in the direction of Ladbroke Grove on March 22
Mr Okorogheye was seen boarding the 23 southbound bus in Ladbroke Grove at 8.44pm on March 22
CCTV footage showed the student wearing an all-black outfit and carrying across his lower back a black satchel-bag featuring a white Adidas logo
In a new statement on Tuesday, she said: 'Richard we love you and miss you very much, please can you come home? We aren't angry at you. We just want to know that you're okay.
'For anyone reading this, we are desperately missing our son. If you know anything or know where he might be, please come forward and speak to the police.'
Ms Joel said she had returned home from a nursing shift at around 9pm on March 22 and assumed her son was in his room.
The alarm was raised after a locksmith helped her gain entry to her son's room where the student's wallet, bus pass and bank card were found.
This week Ms Joel claimed police said 'if you can't find your son, how do you expect us to?' when she went to them for help.
Ms Joel, a nurse, said when she phoned police to report him missing and suggested they check CCTV near their home she was told they did not have the resources.
She told Sky News: 'I told a police officer that my son was missing, please help me find him, and she said: 'If you can't find your son, how do you expect police officers to find your son for you?'
Family friend Claudine Rose added: 'We just felt like initially, it wasn't taken seriously enough.
'His mum was going into the police station every day and they hadn't put posters up or anything.'
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 quoting 21MIS008134, or they can call 999 in an emergency.

Q: Apache Flink: Correctly make async webservice calls within MapReduce() I've a program with the following mapPartition function:
public void mapPartition(Iterable<Tuple> values, Collector<Tuple2<Integer, String>> out)

I collect batches of 100 from the inputted values & send them to a web-service for conversion. The result I add back to the out collection.
In order to speed up the process, I made the web-service calls async through the use of Executors. This created issues, either I get the taskManager released exception, or AskTimeoutException. I increased memory & timeouts, but it didn't help. There's quite a lot of input data. I believe this resulted in a lot of jobs being queued up with ExecutorService & hence taking up lots of memory.
What would be the best approach for this?
I was also looking at the taskManager vs taskSlot configuration, but got a little confused on the differences between the two (I guess they're similar to process vs threads?). Wasn't sure at what point do I increase the taskManagers vs taskSlots? e.g. if I've got three machines with 4cpus per machine, so then should my taskManager=3 while my taskSlot=4?
I was also considering increasing the mapPartition's parallelism alone to say 10 to get more threads hitting the web-service. Comments or suggestions?

A: You should check out Flink Asyncio which would enable you to query your webservice in an asynchronous way in your streaming application.
One thing to note is that the Asyncio function is not called multithreaded and is called once per record per partition sequentially, so your web application needs to deterministically return and potentially return fast for the job to not being held up.
Also, potentially higher number of partitions would help your case but again your webservice needs to fulfil those requests fast enough
Sample code block from Flinks Website:
// This example implements the asynchronous request and callback with Futures that have the
// interface of Java 8's futures (which is the same one followed by Flink's Future)

/**
 * An implementation of the 'AsyncFunction' that sends requests and sets the callback.
 */
class AsyncDatabaseRequest extends RichAsyncFunction<String, Tuple2<String, String>> {

/** The database specific client that can issue concurrent requests with callbacks */
private transient DatabaseClient client;

@Override
public void open(Configuration parameters) throws Exception {
    client = new DatabaseClient(host, post, credentials);
}

@Override
public void close() throws Exception {
    client.close();
}

@Override
public void asyncInvoke(final String str, final AsyncCollector<Tuple2<String, String>> asyncCollector) throws Exception {

    // issue the asynchronous request, receive a future for result
    Future<String> resultFuture = client.query(str);

    // set the callback to be executed once the request by the client is complete
    // the callback simply forwards the result to the collector
    resultFuture.thenAccept( (String result) -> {

        asyncCollector.collect(Collections.singleton(new Tuple2<>(str, result)));

    });
  }
}

// create the original stream (In your case the stream you are mappartitioning)
DataStream<String> stream = ...;

// apply the async I/O transformation
DataStream<Tuple2<String, String>> resultStream =
AsyncDataStream.unorderedWait(stream, new AsyncDatabaseRequest(), 1000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, 100);

Edit:
As the user wants to create batches of size 100 and asyncio is specific to Streaming API for the moment, thus the best way would be to create countwindows with size 100.
Also, to purge the last window which might not have 100 events, custom Triggers could be used with a combination of Count Triggers and Time Based Triggers such that the trigger fires after a count of elements or after every few minutes.
A good follow up is available here on Flink Mailing List where the user "Kostya" created a custom trigger which is available here

Close was so excited about the project she helped adapt the screenplay and also served as a producer.
In the film, no one has any idea Nobbs is a woman, and the idea of being free and who she is has never been a possibility for the character. As a lesbian, Curtis completely related to the story.
"Nobbs doesn't know who she is. She was abused as a youth and wonders if she is gay or straight; she is in search. She wonders 'What am I?' A lot of people refer to Albert as she. Our hope is that Albert Nobbs is a universal character. That scene on the beach [where Albert leaves the buttoned-down confines of her workplace temporarily] — the character is just Albert," Curtis says.
According to Lynn, who is straight, "Albert Nobbs" is a meditation on loneliness.
Curtis, who co-chaired the Respect Awards for GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network) for the past four years, describes reaction to the film as strong from gay and straight audiences alike.
The idea of cross-dressing was common during the time and still happens, says Lynn.
The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and had a one-week Oscar qualifying run last year before opening around the country next week. It garnered three Golden Globe nominations, though no wins when the awards were presented Jan. 15: Close was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, McTeer was nominate for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture, and "Lay Your Head Down," for which Close wrote the lyrics, was nominated for Best Original Song.
When Oscar nominations are announced Jan. 24, Close is expected to be a Best Actress nominee and McTeer is a possibility as Best Supporting Actress. Curtis and Lynn are obviously hopeful both are cited.
"It takes someone very intuitive and intelligent like Glenn to submerge yourself into Nobbs, who has had her development arrested at a young age," she says.

Stopping for today for a blog tour is a NA romance from Brighton Walsh, Captive!
His gaze made me nervous, his eyes cold and hard, ice-blue and unrelenting, and I wanted nothing more than to close mine and hide. I couldn't do that, though. Covering my eyes and pretending he couldn't see me would only leave me blind and vulnerable. I needed to learn everything I could about him, because I had to hope that one day I'd be able to use that information to help the police catch him. I had to hope that someday, I'd be free.
Could he blame me, really? Men like him didn't frequent the streets of Kenilworth or Evanston. Sure, some of the guys on cam- pus had tattoos, some of them even covering both arms, but this man's entire persona was so drastically different from any of them— from anyone I'd ever met. He could be stripped of the ink completely, wearing khakis and a polo shirt, and I'd still feel terror in his presence. It wasn't the trimmings on him, it was him, straight down to his bones.
That was what I was worried about.
- stay honest in order to make your entries valid!
The synopsis is interesting, and definitely something I'd read. I also like the cover, is there a reason for the two keys?
Captive sounds like a book I would love.
I love new adult reads and this one sounds amazing!
What's not to love dangerous mercenary? Not to mention the cover is simple but inviting... Saying seductively read me!
I really want to read this book! My friend has been telling me that I really have to read this so I would love to win this.

Online sports books have different specialties – one book probably concentrate heavily on Asian soccer leagues whilst another specializes on the NFL. Opening accounts with multiple books brings you more choices in terms of odds and the number of games available for Sport betting lines, and the widespread use of book-to-book funds transfers makes it simple to shift your bankroll between books as you need to.
We started out by telling neu players to the world of sports betting to stick to what they know. But there is a difference between placing wagers on sports you are familiar with and betting with your heart. Just because you attended a certain university or have followed a gambling team your entire life does not mean wagers on those teams are the best movement. It is one thing to be a sports lover, another to be a sports bettor. Avoid wagering based on your allegiance to a particular sports club. Bring yourself time to get used to the method bookmakers lay odds, the actual interface utilized to place your gambles, and to understand the ebb and flow of sports betting benefits. Many tips above should help even the least-experienced bettors start his betting career at an advantage.

Q: Difference in performance between MSVC and GCC for highly optimized matrix multplication code I'm seeing a big difference in performance between code compiled in MSVC (on Windows) and GCC (on Linux) for an Ivy Bridge system.  The code does dense matrix multiplication.  I'm getting 70% of the peak flops with GCC and only 50% with MSVC.  I think I may have isolated the difference to how they both convert the following three intrinsics.
__m256 breg0 = _mm256_loadu_ps(&b[8*i])
_mm256_add_ps(_mm256_mul_ps(arge0,breg0), tmp0)

GCC does this
vmovups ymm9, YMMWORD PTR [rax-256]
vmulps  ymm9, ymm0, ymm9
vaddps  ymm8, ymm8, ymm9

MSVC does this
vmulps   ymm1, ymm2, YMMWORD PTR [rax-256]
vaddps   ymm3, ymm1, ymm3

Could somebody please explain to me if and why these two solutions could give such a big difference in performance?
Despite MSVC using one less instruction it ties the load to the mult and maybe that makes it more dependent (maybe the load can't be done out of order)?  I mean Ivy Bridge can do one AVX load, one AVX mult, and one AVX add in one clock cycle but this requires each operation to be independent.
Maybe the problem lies elsewhere?  You can see the full assembly code for GCC and MSVC for the innermost loop below.  You can see the C++ code for the loop here Loop unrolling to achieve maximum throughput with Ivy Bridge and Haswell

A: I can confirm that using the GCC code in Visual Studio does indeed improve the performance.  I did this by converting the GCC object file in Linux to work in Visual Studio.  The efficient went from 50% to 60% using all four cores (and 60% to 70% for a single core).
Microsoft has removed inline assembly from 64-bit code and also broken their 64-bit dissembler so that code can't be resembled without modification (but the 32-bit version still works).  They evidently thought intrinsics would be sufficient but as this case shows they are wrong.
Maybe fused instructions should be separate intrinsics?
But Microsoft is not the only one that produces less optimal intrinsic code.  If you put the code below into http://gcc.godbolt.org/ you can see what Clang, ICC, and GCC do.  ICC gave even worse performance than MSVC.  It is using vinsertf128 but I don't know why.  I'm not sure what Clang is doing but it looks to be closer to GCC just in a different order (and more code).
This explains why Agner Fog wrote in his manual "Optimizing subroutines in assembly
language" in regards to "disadvantages of using intrinsic functions":

The compiler can modify the code or implement it in a less efficient
  way than the programmer intended. It may be necessary to look at the
  code generated by the compiler to see if it is optimized in the way
  the programmer intended.

This is disappointing for the case for using intrinsics.  This means one either has to still write 64-bit assembly code soemtimes or find a compiler which implements the intrinsics the way the programmer intended.  In this case only GCC appears to do that (and perhaps Clang).

A: MSVC did exactly what you asked it to.  If you want a vmovups instruction emitted, use the _mm256_loadu_ps intrinsic.

A: Since we've covered the alignment issue, I would guess it's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-order_execution
Since g++ issues a standalone load instruction, your processor can reorder the instructions to be pre-fetching the next data that will be needed while also adding and multiplying. MSVC throwing a pointer at mul makes the load and mul tied to the same instruction, so changing the execution order of the instructions doesn't help anything.
EDIT: Intel's server(s) with all the docs are less angry today, so here's more research on why out of order execution is (part of) the answer.
First of all, it looks like your comment is completely right about it being possible for the MSVC version of the multiplication instruction to decode to separate µ-ops that can be optimized by a CPU's out of order engine. The fun part here is that modern microcode sequencers are programmable, so the actual behavior is both hardware and firmware dependent. The differences in the generated assembly seems to be from GCC and MSVC each trying to fight different potential bottlenecks. The GCC version tries to give leeway to the out of order engine (as we've already covered). However, the MSVC version ends up taking advantage of a feature called "micro-op fusion". This is because of the µ-op retirement limitations. The end of the pipeline can only retire 3 µ-ops per tick. Micro-op fusion, in specific cases, takes two µ-ops that must be done on two different execution units (i.e. memory read and arithmetic) and ties them to a single µ-op for most of the pipeline. The fused µ-op is only split into the two real µ-ops right before execution unit assignment. After the execution, the ops are fused again, allowing them to be retired as one.
The out of order engine only sees the fused µ-op, so it can't pull the load op away from the multiplication. This causes the pipeline to hang while waiting for the next operand to finish its bus ride.

MUCH LATER EDIT:
Wow, there has been some interesting update to the discussion here. I guess I was mistaken about how much of the pipeline is actually affected by micro op fusion. Maybe there is more perf gain than I expected from the the differences in the loop condition check, where the unfused instructions allow GCC to interleave the compare and jump with the last vector load and arithmetic steps?

A moment ago, AnakJajan's team visited Yogjakarta for several days and have compiled a list for us to share with you, list of recommendation for must try local food, cafe, or restaurant in Jogja.
One of the top favorites, Lumpia Samijaya. So, along Malioboro street, there are so many lumpia stalls, but this one is the most crowded one with long queue, and obviously, there is always a reason behind long queue.
This lumpia stall is located in front of Mutiara Hotel, across Starbucks and it was the best lumpia we have ever had! Consist of chicken, beansprouts, and other vegetables wrapped in lumpia skin, deep fried until golden crispy and served with some kind of shaved garlic, pickled cucumber, and green chili. The shaved garlic, pickles, and chili condiments add sweet, sour and spicy kick which makes the deep fried delicacy well balanced and addicting!
One of the legendary noodle stalls in Jogja, a humble chicken noodle place called Yammie Pathuk. The noodle here has savory based seasoning, classic yet delicious, best paired with soup wonton & meatballs, crispy wonton and fried chicken balls.
Serving fruit shaved ice dessert and Beef Meatball soup, this place has been around for years with lots of loyal customers.
The shaved ice consists of pineapple, jackfruit, sawo/ sapodilla, coconut, grass jelly and some kind of syrup, it was sweet, tangy and refreshing at the same time. For meatball, served with fritter, it was delicious as well, affordable yet satisfying!
To beat the heat after strolling around Jogjakarta, gelato is surely a good choice. Tempo Gelato is one of the well-known gelato places that serves affordable gelato with tons of flavors with relatively affordable price starting from IDR 20K. They even have basil flavor. The texture was so creamy and sticky. Their homemade cone was so fragrant and super crunchy, their coffee flavor is a MUST TRY!
You have not officially visited Jogja if you haven't eaten gudeg in this city. Out of many recommendation for Gudeg, one of them is Gudeg Bromo / Tekluk. This gudeg stall opens at midnight. Yes, midnight! Even though this stall opens at midnight, you will be surprised to see the long queue for this gudeg stall. The flavour says it all. It was so good! The gudeg was not overly sweet with hint of spiciness. It can be paired with various toppings, and we chose chicken and fried tempe. Yumm!
As the name suggests, this market opens every Sunday morning at UGM area. There are so many stuffs you can find in this market, from clothes, food, and fishes. Along the streets you can find "telur gulung" as well as many other food and beverage stalls in this market. It's perfect place to go for Sunday morning breakfast, so many tasty and appetizing options you'll leave the market with full and happy tummy.
Just like the name, Mediterranea is a restaurant in Jogja that serves various Mediterranean cuisine such as fire wood pizza, foccacia, mezze, tarrines, and many more. Everything looks so tempting we almost want to order it all.
The duck confit we ordered was so good, it came in huge portion and potato gratin as the side dish. It was so crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside! Me likey!
The firewood pizza was as expected delicious. The dough was thin and crispy with slightly burned edges, topped with generous toppings. They country potato was simple yer tasty, it's basically potato wedges with lots of onion that makes it so aromatic.
For something different, do you know that Jogja also has yummy yet affordable Balinese bigul rice? The skin was super crispy and delicious. If you are planning to visit Bima Kroda, please note that they don't serve Babi Guling rice everyday. They only serve bigBabi Guling rice on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. But other than those days, they also serve nasi campur which is typically almost the same with Babi Guling rice and still so delicious!
An option for cozy place to sit, just like the name, Roaster and Bear, this cozy café looks very cute and instagramable with bear murals and a giant bear doll. They serve brunch menu and regular western menu.
Ayam geprek basically is a smashed fried chicken mixed with sambal. It is so crunchy, spicy, and flavorful, best paired with warm rice. Hmm yumm! Jogja has so many ayam geprek stalls across the city, and of course we couldn't miss the chance to try one of the popular ones in this city. The one in Preksu was yummy with fragrant sambal bawang, besides fried chicken, you can also add fried tempe or tofu with cheese topping, and you can also adjust the spiciness level.
Of course out of the list above, there are still MANY other popular and recommended places for good local food in Jogja. Thank you for reading, if you have recommendation, please share with us on the comment section below, we would love to read that.

GameThread: Oregon State at Utah Men's Basketball
By Alex Stark@starkaw23 Jan 28, 2017, 4:30pm MST
Share All sharing options for: GameThread: Oregon State at Utah Men's Basketball
The Utah Runnin' Utes (14-6, 5-3 Pac-12) are looking to get back to their winning ways after falling 73-67 at home to No. 10 Oregon on Thursday. They host the Oregon State Beavers (4-17, 0-8) tonight. The game tips off at 5:00 p.m. MDT in the Jon M. Huntsman Center. The game will be televised live on Pac-12 Network.
This game is a must-win for the Runnin' Utes. Almost halfway through Pac-12 play, the Beavers have yet to win a game in conference, so a loss to the struggled Oregon State Beavers would be a huge blow to Utah's RPI and postseason hopes. A win would give Utah some momentum heading into their Bay Area road trip next week. Utah could also avenge their stunning 71-69 loss in Corvallis, Ore. last season.
If you are not at the Huntsman Center, join us here at Block U to discuss the game as it unfolds.

Home Health COVID-19 WHO warns against use of masks during exercise
WHO warns against use of masks during exercise
Children to get new malaria shot by end of 2023 — WHO
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned people against wearing masks while exercising, saying masks may reduce the ability to breathe comfortably.
WHO gave the warning on Wednesday in an update of its Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public: Myth busters.
It said that sweat could make the mask become wet more quickly which made it difficult to breathe and would promote the growth of microorganisms.
"The important preventive measure during exercise is to maintain a physical distance of at least one metre from others," it said.
The health agency said that the prolonged use of medical masks when properly worn did not cause Carbon dioxide (CO2) intoxication nor oxygen deficiency.
It, however, noted that the prolonged use of medical masks could be uncomfortable.
"While wearing a medical mask, make sure it fits properly and that it is tight enough to allow you to breathe normally.
"Do not re-use a disposable mask and always change it as soon as it gets damp.
"Medical masks (also known as surgical masks) are flat or pleated; they are affixed to the head with straps or have ear loops," it said.
It maintained that the likelihood of Coronavirus (COVID-19) being spread on shoes and infecting individuals was very low.
"As a precautionary measure, particularly in homes where infants and small children crawl or play on floors, consider leaving your shoes at the entrance of your home.
"This will help prevent contact with dirt or any waste that could be carried on the soles of shoes," it said.
According to WHO, the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by a virus, not by bacteria.
"The virus that causes COVID-19 is in a family of viruses called Coronaviridae. Antibiotics do not work against viruses.
"Some people who become ill with COVID-19 can also develop a bacterial infection as a complication. In this case, antibiotics may be recommended by a health care provider," it said.
WHO noted that currently there was no licensed medication to cure Coronavirus (COVID-19).
It advised people that have symptoms of the disease to call their health care provider or COVID-19 hotline for assistance.
WHO added that most people who contracted the COVID-19 had mild or moderate symptoms and recovered due to supportive care.

Home Sea Sea SA Agulhas II off to Gough Island
SA Agulhas II off to Gough Island
Written by Dean Wingrin -
The new Department of Environmental Affairs polar research vessel SA Agulhas II has departed on its maiden supply voyage to Gough Island.
The SA Agulhas II left Cape Town yesterday. The icebreaker will stop over at Tristan da Cunha to drop off a group of 38 British Tristan da Cunha residents before heading on to Gough Island. She was due to depart at 14:00 yesterday, but only left harbour at 21:00 due to a problem with one of the cranes and an unsatisfactory internet connection, reports Die Burger.
The eight members of the Gough 58 team consists of three meteorologists, a medical orderly, a radio technician, a diesel mechanic and two field assistants.
South Africa has been operating a weather station on Gough Island since 1956. This weather office, according to the South African National Antarctic Programme (SANAP), operates the same as stations in South Africa, with hourly climate observations and twice daily upper-air ascents.
Gough Island is a volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, 2,700 kilometres south west of Cape Town. It is a dependency of Tristan da Cunha, which in turn is a dependency of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena. The land the weather station is built on is leased by South Africa under contract. It is uninhabited except for the six to eight expedition members of the weather station as part of SANAP and is thus one of the most remote places with a constant human presence.
The SA Agulhas II is set to sail back to Cape Town from its expedition on October 11.
The SA Agulhas II takes over from the 34 year-old SA Agulhas as South Africa's new Antarctic research and supply vessel, supporting and undertaking research in Antarctica and on Marion and Gough Islands. Built in Finland and having arrived in its home port of Cape Town on May 3, the vessel returned from a 26 day shakedown cruise to the edge of the ice shelf in Antarctica at the beginning of August.

The 1908–09 Australia rugby union tour of the British Isles was a collection of friendly rugby union games undertaken by the Australia national rugby union team against invitational and national teams from England and Wales, as well as several games against sides from North America. This was the first Australian tour of the Northern Hemisphere and the side is sometimes referred to as the "First Wallabies".

Both the New Zealand and South African teams had toured Europe in 1905 and 1906 respectively, both achieving unexpected but deserved success against club and international opposition. Despite the success of these two touring teams, Australia suffered poor press and with only a single win after the teams' first twelve international matches in its history to that point, few people suggested the team would do well. Against low expectations the Australians played well, winning 25 of 31 matches played on the tour and with some commentators writing that the team would have achieved better results if they had not picked up so many injuries.

Australia took in two recognised international games, against Wales and England, but failed to play any games in Scotland or Ireland due to the Irish and Scottish Unions resenting the International Rugby Board's attitude regarding the Australian invitation.

The squad's leadership

Tour manager, who performed the role of coach was New South Wales state selector James McMahon, a veteran of the early NSWRU representative fixtures of 1889 and 1894 against New Zealand. He was assisted by Stan Wickham who had captained the Wallabies on 10 occasions between 1904 and 1905. Tour captain was Dr. Herbert 'Paddy' Moran. The team was also captained in matches during the tour by Chris McKivat and by Fred Wood, the tour vice-captain. They played in blue shirts, emblazoned with the Waratah. Players were paid 3 shillings a day in expenses.

Moran writes in Viewless Winds that when the touring squad first arrived at Plymouth a pack of journalists were there who were anxious to give the team some distinctive name. The "Rabbits" was instantaneously rejected and soon after the team adopted the moniker of "The Wallabies" which for many years was used to describe the Australia national rugby union team when touring to Britain. These days the national side are the Wallabies whether playing at home or anywhere abroad.

Moran also describes as "an affliction" the war-cry which the parent Union in Australia had suggested the team should use for its "box-office value". Moran wrote:

Echoing the feelings of the Australian team towards the war-cry, there was little respect shown from their opponents towards it either. In the encounter with Cardiff at the Cardiff Arms Park, Percy Bush responded to the cry by charging onto the pitch brandishing a sword and shield, in what was intended to be an amusing riposte.

Tour itinerary

The squad left Sydney on 8 August 1908 on board the SS Omrah bound for Melbourne.  The ship contained 116 passengers, 1579 bales of wool, 2729 carcasses of mutton, 4650 carcasses of lamb, 2000 quarters of beef, 4800 crates of frozen rabbits and 200 tonnes of lead and copper. They played a game at the MCG against a Victorian XV which was won 26–6. They docked in Fremantle and played and won a fixture against a Western Australian XV 58–6.

On the long voyage Moran introduced the practice of team meetings that were part lecture and part brain–storming with players encouraged to voice their ideas on improving team performance. Moran stood at a blackboard and while his lecturing style was initially derided by the players he managed to instill a sense of cleverness and skill in players, creating thoughts of rugby as similar to a game of chess. The Sydney forward Cecil Murnin became ill on the voyage and left the tour in Naples to return to Australia.

The first tour match in England was against Devon. Peter Burge broke a leg in that match and did not play again on the tour. Australia won the match with fourteen men. Bob Craig had brought a carpet snake in his luggage as a tour mascot and the snake died that same day. The fourth tour match saw the Wallabies pitted against the best players from Cardiff and Swansea playing as Glamorgan County. The match at Pontypridd drew a crowd of 20,000 who gave the visitors a standing ovation. In that match another player was lost to a broken leg – this time from the sideline. The Queensland forward Flanagan was running the flag as line–umpire and collided with the winger "Boxer" Russell. Australia's first loss was the ninth match, against Llanelli RFC – a spirited encounter which saw the Llanelli side win the match 8–3 and themselves a place in local sporting folklore.

Olympic Wallabies
During the tour, the Olympic Games were being held in London. The Australian team entered the rugby tournament and were the only other team alongside Cornwall, who were representing Great Britain.  The interest in the Olympic rugby final was only lukewarm with the final being held in the last week of Games that had taken place over six months.

Australia had already beaten Cornwall, the British county champions early in the tour. Scottish and Irish Unions had turned down the RFU's invitation to participate in the Olympic bouts. France were expected to contest the medal, but had withdrawn, leaving just Australia and Cornwall for England team to play for gold and silver medals.

The match was played on an area alongside the Olympic Games swimming pool which measured 110 yards in length with a long line of netting stretched beside to catch flying balls. Large mattresses were spread along the rim of the pool to prevent injuries to falling players. One day was allocated to what was called the Olympic rugby tournament. Neither Moran, nor the tour vice-captain Fred Wood played so Chris McKivat led the Wallabies to an easy 32–3 victory and to Olympic glory, with each Wallaby in that match thereafter an Olympic gold medallist.

Tour statistics
The tour took in 31 games in the British Isles, with the Australians winning 25, losing five and drawing one. Of the Test matches, the team lost against Wales, but beat England. These matches were the first ever encounters between an Australian team and their hosts. A further two matches were played in Australia en route and there were five matches in the US and Canada.

The Wallabies scored 438 points on tour to 149 against, scoring 104 tries in the process and averaging better than three tries per game with 80 scored by the backs and 24 by the forwards.

Notes

Test matches

Wales

After the tours by the New Zealand and South African teams, the Welsh crowds were beginning to become fatigued at greeting another 'colonial' team, and the crowd of 30,000 at the Cardiff Arms Park was smaller than previous in tours. Those that attended were repaid with an exciting and close encounter, with two tries from both sides and Wales winning by just a single penalty goal. The contest between the forwards was described as 'tremendous', and at the end of the match Moran was chaired from the ground by the Welsh supporters. Moran was later quoted as saying: "It was a very gruelling game; in fact, I think it was one of the hardest games I had ever played in."

Moran describes the last fifteen minutes as tremendously hard. Twice or three times the Australian backs either crossed the line or knocked down a corner post without being able to score. In the dying moments one of the Australian wingers made a break with just Bert Winfield to beat. Instead of stepping or fending him the Wallaby three-quarter attempted to barge through and both players collapsed to the ground. The whistle blew and the Test was Wales'.

England

The match was to have been played at Twickenham but bad weather had delayed the construction of the stand and it was moved to Blackheath.

England had ten new caps, including all four three-quarters. England started well and Edgar Mobbs scored. Wallaby Norman Row kicked an up-and-under, followed up and scored to level the scores. Half-time came at 3-all. Australia dominated the second half. Boxer Russell scored the Wallabies' second and third tries.

Although the Australian team won by three tries to one, sections of the British press reported that the tourists were fortunate to win. This was typical of the press, which had unfairly compared the Australians to the All Black and Springbok teams throughout the tour. Moran had suffered an Achilles-tendon injury in a prior match and missed the England encounter, so the captaincy was given to McKivat.

The Origins of Rap Music
There's no doubt that rap is one of the most popular music genres today. It's widely believed that rap as we know it originated in the 1970s in New York. However, the roots of rap music date back way further.
The Roots of Rap Music
The Beginning of a New Culture
The Pioneers Who Transcended the Genre
2Pac.
Rap and Hip-Hop Today
Unlike what many people think, rap music didn't appear in the 70s out of the blue. Modern rap music was inspired by "griots" from West Africa. Griots were storytellers that told stories while music was being played, which is regarded as the earlier form of rap.
DJ Kool Herc, known as the founding father of hip-hop, started it all on August 11th, 1973, in the Bronx, New York.
He hosted gatherings in his building at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue in the Bronx. Such gatherings are credited for sparking the beginning of hip-hop music.
Herc used looping, also known as a repetitive beat. By combining two record turntables and playing the same beat more than once, a loop is formed. This has also led to the extension of the instrumental aspect of music pieces.
All of this has led rap music to grow to a new culture that includes art, dance, philosophy, and even fashion. The building is open to visitors who want to take a look at the birthplace of modern hip-hop music.
Around the mid-80s, a new wave of rappers began to emerge as the genre became accessible to the mainstream.
During that period, rap has matured into a genre of innovation, diversity, and influence. It was no longer a mere music genre but a cultural movement that encouraged experimentation. It was impossible for rap music to bethe same from city to city.
And since the new generation of hip hop producers had resources like advanced samplers and drum machines, the development of rap music was accelerated even further.
Because of this boom, independent record labels like Prism Records, Tommy Boy, and more, started to recognize the demand for the genre, especially from club DJs and local radio stations.
Run-D.M.C, Eric B. & Rakim, Public Enemy, and The Beastie Boys were among the most prominent names in the golden era of rap music.
The golden age of hip-hip also encompassed a heavy reliance on sampled music. Since there weren't any copyright laws that protected pieces from being sampled, any artist was able to integrate samples from various songs without facing legal claims.
And it wasn't just limited to hip-hop; lots of rappers sampled music from many other genres like rock, jazz, and blues. What was truly unique about these sampling techniques is that they also included sound clips from films, not just songs.
The growth of hip-hop music has continued well into the 90s, with the battle of the coasts being one of its most remarkable feuds of the late 20th century.
It was a rivalry between east coast and west coast rappers, but it went out of control when rappers 2Pac and Notorious B.I.G were killed in an apparent drive-by shooting. The rivalry also extended to the fans of east coast and west coast hip-hop music.
Although the feud that lasted from 1991 to 1997 had terrible consequences, it was a central focal point of the rap scene that forged a significant portion of the hip-hop music that we listen to today.
The 1990s also witnessed women stepping into the rap scene to stand against the content that antagonized females. Among the most influential women MCs that reshaped the tone of rap music in the 1990s include Queen Latifah, Salt-N-Pepa,Yo Yo, and MC Lyte.
Other notable names that managed to live up to mainstream hip-hop standards include Lauryn Hill and Da Brat.
Just like any other music genre, there are a few notable rappers that had the biggest influence on the hip-hop/rap scene. Here are the most prominent names:
N.W.A. was a hip-hop music group that constituted the following rappers:
DJ Yella
The group was formed in 1987, only becoming active (as a group) in the periods from 1987 to 1991 and 1999 to 2002. The group also had a couple of recent unions in 2015 and 2016.
N.W.As biggest contributions to rap music comprise the use of exaggerated lyrics and funky, bass-driven beats. The group is also credited for fusing white and black American musical lines.
The team's greatest hits include "Straight Outta Compton", "F— Tha Police", "Express Yourself", and "Gangsta Gangsta".
2Pac is considered one of the most influential rappers in the industry. His music often discussed controversial social issues widespread in the late 80s and early 90s.
Many people regard 2Pac as a fighter in the face of inequality. Some of 2Pac's greatest hits include "How Do U Want It/California Love", "Dear Mama/Old School", "Keep Ya Head Up", and "Thugz Mansion".
Notorious B.I.G was yet another rapper whose work had a massive impact on the modern rap scene. The most significant chunk of his music was semi-autobiographical and often had mixed themes that combined criminality and hardship with celebration.
Notorious B.I.G was also known for incorporating grim content in his lyrics, but his laidback lyrical delivery played a big role in offsetting it.
Today, hip-hop music is different from what it once was. The vast majority of hip-hop record labels and artists only focus on money and fame rather than the music itself. Nevertheless, there are still some artists that are true to the form.
Modern technology has allowed for the continuous development of the genre. From streaming to sampling and beat development, a whole new world of possibilities has opened up for young rappers. Distribution methods have come a long way, too.
The 2000s also witnessed the breakthrough of a trend where rappers collaborate in the same hit, and this trend has continued up till now.
Hip-hop has come a long way throughout the history of music. From simple beat-synced storytelling in West Africa to the rise of independent record labels in the 90s and the tech-enhanced beats we listen to today.
There's still room for development, though, with rappers introducing new styles and techniques into the mix at a very fast pace.

Oxford transmission at substantial rate; Rise in cases is expected
While Butler County remains an area of high transmission of the COVID-19 virus, based on CDC guidelines, the rate of new cases in Oxford is at a slightly lower "substantial" rate, according to a zip code chart on the website of the Butler County Health Department.
Transmission is considered high under the CDC guidelines when 100 or more new cases per 100,000 people are occurring per week. Transmission is considered substantial when 50-90 new cases per 100,000 people occur per week.
According to the health department website, the county charted 476 new cases between Aug. 1 and Aug. 7. The 45056 zip code, which covers Oxford, had 18 new cases during the same seven-day period.
Members of Oxford City Council and the Talawanda School Board, both of which debated the issue of imposing mask mandates this week, noted that the health department figures predate the return of 20,000 college students to Oxford this week, which is expected to push the case numbers higher.

"Our belief, when we were directed to do this, was that our superiors had researched and looked at whatever information in the statute that would allow us to do that ['not investigated'] process," said Tracy Everitt, who was a program manager with CPS.
The five women were part of what was called a SWAT Team, which was supposed to process all of the allegations phoned in to the CPS hotline, and assign those to case workers. (The sixth person fired, Sharon Sergent, was their boss.)
They admit they marked these cases as "Not Investigated" but say they did so only during a 20-month span. Information released by CPS has shown that the "Not Investigated" process was started before the 20-month window and continued after another team took over processing the cases. The report that started the whole thing, discovered by a Phoenix police detective who's been working with CPS, wasn't assigned by this group of women, either.
Their former employees' attorney, Terry Woods, described the highest-ranking of the five women as "four steps down from the top," and this wasn't a plan of their own.
"There is no legal action at this point in time," Woods said. "We are contemplating the possibility of a lawsuit for wrongful termination."
A couple of the women said they didn't particularly like having to shelve some of these cases by marking them as low-priority, but the agency simply didn't have the resources to investigate every single claim.
An initial review found the reasoning for these uninvestigated cases was that the work just outpaced the ability of workers -- it was just impossible to investigate every single case, let alone catch up on a backlog. And the Department of Public Safety's lengthy report on the matter didn't find any other sinister motive at CPS.
Of course, after a team came in and reviewed the 6,500 cases that were shelved, they decided that a few hundred of those children needed to be removed from their homes immediately, so the "NI" process wasn't without consequence.
But these five women seemed to be confused as to why they were targeted for firing. The whole process wasn't really a secret around CPS, and the DPS report shows a list 14 pages long of employees who designated cases "NI" (although the five women at this press conference applied "NI" labels in much greater numbers).
Even when DPS interviewed Department of Economic Security director Clarence Carter, he seemed to be aware -- to some degree -- of what was going on.
From the report:
Carter was asked about his understanding of NI. Carter said the CPS historically had more cases to review than manpower to do so. Carter said CPS developed a "mechanism to triage cases with a set of criteria, which would allow you to take a lower level intervention for cases you could determine the children were not in harm's way. Carter said CPS was required by statute to investigate all reported cases of child abuse, but it was never his understanding or intention for cases not to be investigated . . .
Carter was asked how he thought cases were getting attended to if CPS had more cases than staff to work them. Carter stated he believed there was a "triage" process, where staff could certify children were not in harm's way through an administrative investigation, not requiring an "on ground investigation."
In addition to the magical "triage," employees were also sending Carter semi-annual reports that included the number of cases "not responded to." The report says Carter insisted he "was unaware cases were not being investigated."
Woods, the attorney, says he's still gathering the facts to see if the women have a valid claim for a wrongful-termination suit.
