A faction of creators and builders, the Wild Walkers strive to bind rocks and trees into great living monuments. Their relationship with Dust is intense and dangerous; under its influence they can suddenly explode into berserker rages. The Wild Walkers rely on forests, to get more Industry and build faster, but also to gain advantage in battle. Masters of their environment, they can locate enemy armies near their cities, even through the fog of war.
The Wild Walkers were simple elves living as hunter-gathers in the forests. Their gift was to shape rocks and trees into great buildings; cities rose as green towers in the deep woods. This act, called The Sharing, let an elf experience the wild, untamed energy of their totem animal.
Elves who Shared often, however risked having the spirit of the beast burst out like a violent flame and take control during moments of stress. In spite of that, some sought increasingly savage beasts in order to experience Sharings of greater intensity.
With individuals embracing the savagery of the animals and vanishing forever into the woods, the nation had to choose between the wild spirits of nature and the civilization of their towers. Troubled but determined, they forswore the Sharing, renamed themselves the Wild Walkers, and set out to build their towers away from their dark past.
Only time will tell if the Sharing still has its hold on their souls.
The Sharing Affinity Provides the ability to detect opponents' armies in your empire and the adjacent regions. Formed through ancient bonds with the beasts of Auriga, heightened senses tell when predators or prey are close.

This icon indicates the presence of an army on a tile.
The Sharing is a faction trait unique to the Wild Walkers that gives them the ability to detect the presence of armies without being able to see them. There are, however, a few rules that determine how this ability works. First, the army being detected must be on a tile of the map that has been revealed, but is not in the visible range of any friendly buildings or units. Second, the army being detected must be within a region that the Wild Walkers control, or a region directly adjacent to one they control. This also applies to oceanic regions, so it is possible to detect armies in an oceanic region if the Wild Walkers control a land region bordering it, or vice versa.
Additionally, while The Sharing allows the Wild Walkers to detect the presence of enemies that are controlled by other empires or roaming armies, it only indicates that an army is present; it does not provide any information about the army's faction, composition, status, or anything else. It is also worth noting that invisible armies cannot be detected by The Sharing; armies are made invisible by either having every unit in the army have the Stealth capacity - as is common with the Forgotten - or by having at least one unit in the army with the Ghost Force capacity, which can be achieved by equipping a hero leading the army with the Nwere accessory.
Though not superstitious, Wild Walkers have put some faith in signs and omens. As each new building rises in your empire, your people are energized by a hopeful future that is growing before their eyes.
+4 when a city improvement is built on Wild Walkers.
+4 When a district is built on Wild Walkers.
+4 when a region improvement is built on Wild Walkers.
Digging into the resources of their clan totem animals, Wild Walker units react with the speed of threatened beasts when enemy units are in sight.
The forests provide supplies, camouflage, and ready defenses to those who know how to exploit them.
Many things can be made to grow faster on Auriga; in some cases this applies also to the unliving.
All Wild Walker heroes are able to wield Longbows, Magewands, Crossbows, and Shields as weapons.
Ahote Zaltana is received as a reward for completing Chapter 5 of the Wild Walkers faction quest. Zaltana is received at Level 3, so his base attributes reflect this, but do not include bonuses from capacities or equipment.
It has been a difficult winter.
Not merely the weather and the hunger, but all the rivalries within the Wild Walkers have descended upon the head that wears the crown -- your head. During the long cold months, when both space and activity are lacking, tempers flare and arguments begin. As usual, it is the shamanists of the Sokwa clan who fan the flames. "We should not have left the forests, our gods will desert us, we are made weak without The Sharing..." They should be named the Tateh clan, the Talk-too-much.
But you are the onontio, the highest judge and warlord, and for now your word remains law. The challenge is to occupy these grumblers and those who would listen to them; they need a purpose and a distraction. Around you are many ancient sites where previous civilizations rose... and fell. To avoid that same fate, it would perhaps be good to investigate these places -- and give the grumblers something else to whine about.
Time and experience bring knowledge, though new knowledge is not always welcome.
Your dream of a great new tower to the stars, a symbol to Gaia, has been put off by strikes and riots at the building site. Achak Adahi, who leads the Sokwa, claims your dreams are foolish sacrilege. He, and many others, continue to insist on the old ways. There are those, however, who have seen what you have seen, and question the old ways as you do.
You must explore, go farther, learn more. You convinced them to look beyond the forests, to seek new ways; it is time to explore further and find new allies - or new slaves - for the cities you see in your visions.
Your empire must grow, and you must have help to do this. Make contact with a neighboring Minor Faction and assimilate them into your Empire - peacefully or forcibly. In a region that belongs to your Empire, pacify at least one village of a Minor Faction, then Assimilate them. Integrating the new allies is awkward, no matter how it is done. But in your gut you know it is necessary.
You must explore, go farther, learn more. You convinced them to look beyond the forests, to seek new ways; it is time to explore farther. New regions should be explored and a new city founded; that should lead your people to believe that your vision for the Wild Walkers is more than just a dream.
Give your people optimism and new purpose by founding a city in a new region. Grow the city so it provides a solid source of Industry. 1. Spread out your force and find the new perfect region to colonize.
2. To sustain your dream you will need to produce 25 in your new city.
A new city is useful for your growing empire. Now it is time to look even further, and learn even more.
There are always those who bluntly refuse to accept reality. Achak and his followers are twisting their words in philosophical knots, trying to find some explanation for the things the patrols have discovered. The facts are clear: We are not alone, and we were not the first. One day their disagreements could turn violent; Truthseeker Jenoa is not the only one who warns you of this.
From these other peoples you have heard other tales and new histories; many of these myths and legends contain seeds of a similar story - a story that ends in tragedy. The farther you go, and the further you study, the grimmer and more perplexing the truth becomes.
In one way Achak and the Sokwa are right; your people remain small and weak compared to the vastness of Auriga. Your empire must be secured and your armies developed; no great construction can take place unless your realm is secure. The Sharing, while dangerous, gives you a great advantage when scouting - it is time to exploit that advantage.
You have certainly learned this: Auriga is dangerous. Develop your military by selecting a Hero and building a worthy army. Test the Hero and their army in battle and secure peace in your region. 1. Search the [Ruins] with a Wild Walkers Hero and minimum 4 Ranged units and 2 Minor Faction units.
2. Make sure there are no enemy armies in your region called [Region] in 5 turns. War has sidelined your efforts, though it is a necessary cost. It is time to focus on internal affairs.
The truth must be accepted, even when it is unpleasant. Achak seems to be silent, for the moment. But it is likely that things will flare up when you announce your latest idea: permitting beings of assimilated factions to rise up to high-level posts in your government. If allies can be trusted, why should they not be exploited to the fullest?
It is a time of consolidation and reflection, for the knowledge you have gained requires time and analysis before it can be acted upon. Bet your convictions remain clear on two points. First, that Auriga is a dangerous place that requires buildings of exceptional strength if your people are to survive whatever forces destroyed those who came before you. Second, that the Wild Walkers must be open and inclusive to any and all people's, ideas, and improvements that can help secure their future. Certainly those who built the ruins had knowledge of engineering far beyond what is known today.
Your eyes burn as you read the ancient texts; your ears ring with the debates and arguments of scholars. It has been days since you swung a sword or fired a bow in earnest. But you are onontio, and your people come first.
It has been a time of great learnings.
First, you learned that Achak Adahi would rather die than admit his failures. He and a band of shaman attacked the palace, hoping to start a revolt. Your hand has not been on the sword hilt much of late, but you still had the reflexes needed to run him through at the door of the throne room. Those who followed him turned to Lycans and dissapeared in the night.
Many fell defending you, and some of those were from the peoples you assimilated. You also learned that you command great loyalty. You learned, finally, that rumors of a thing called "zaltana" were in fact stories centered around a person -- Ahote Zaltana. Tales indicate he was once a Wild Walker, and that he has studied the secrets and structures of the ancients for many decades. He has named them the Endless, for he believes that their works will endure until the end of time.
To bring your vision for the Wild Walkers into fruition, the mysterious Ahote Zaltana must be found. Track him by inspecting an ancient site where he is rumored to be. 1. Look for Ahote Zaltana by searching the ancient site of [Ruins].
2. Based on information gleaned from the ancient site, Zaltana must be located in a region called [Region]. A legend has stepped out of the forests and into your tower. Now, you must grow and exploit that legend.
Half mystic, half scientist, Zaltana is both everything you expected and nothing at all like what you expected. It is fortunate that he communicates with schematics and designs, for when he communicates with words much of it sounds like gibberish.
Regardless, the lucidity of his drawings speaks directly to the visions that you have seen - a great base, a soaring tower, a monument to the constructions of the Wild Walkers and a place to weather whatever storms Auriga may bring. But the techniques and materials are beyond what you know, and it is for this reason that Zaltana must first improve his skill, and then find an ancient site where he can apply that ability.
Other reasons, reasons that you speak of to no one, have also compelled you to fund and staff Zaltana's expedition. The more you study the ancient texts, the more your sages and searchers plot and analyze the cycles of winter and occurrences of storms, the more you realize that Auriga seems to be on a downward spiral. You do not know where the spiral may lead, and what the fate of the planet may be. But you are guessing that ruin and devastation will come for those who are not prepared.
2. Send Zaltana with an army to inspect ancient ruins at [Ruins]. Whatever Zaltana has discovered only he understands; hopefully you will be able to build it before time runs out.
Zaltana has emerged, holding designs for a thing whose complexity seems impossible. How can hands build something whose plans are incomprehensible?
In his designs you understand some things, and are utterly confused by others. In that gap between the comprehensible and the arcane something whispers to your subconscious; something that speaks of power and emptiness as endless as the universe. That is a worry in dealing with geniuses: Trying to comprehend them may drive you mad.
But if your sanity is the price for the survival of the Wild Walkers, it is not too great a price to pay. More than ever you understand that Auriga is changing; the pessimists say she is dying, the optimists say that she evolves. Even the optimists admit, however, that this "evolution" may be inimical to all forms of life.
Zaltana must be encouraged, this strange set of thinkings tools he has designed must be created -- from Mithrite, of all things! -- in order for his constructions to go ahead. And there is no alternative; the constructions must go ahead.
Now that tools -- both magical and human -- are ready, the labor must be done. 1. Assign your Hero Ahote Zaltana to one of your cities and make sure he has the Arc of the Builder equipped on him.
2. Gain enough Influence points to set the Economy and Population Ministry of your Empire Plan to the level 4. Zaltana is a spark, and the resulting fire of energy and creativity is more than you had hoped. But is it enough?
The structure Zaltana has dreamed of has been planned and can now be built; models and descriptions have been erected in a pavilion for public display. The sooner construction begins the better, for all work seems to have slowed down as crowds of people visit the models and try to imagine what it is and how it could possibly come to be.
Zaltana is in the midst of it all: Explaining, demonstrating, almost preaching. A handful of others seem to have caught on, as other savants and geniuses begin to understand pieces of what that vision may be. But there is only one Ahote Zaltana, and the future of the Wild Walkers hangs on his abilities.
Those sages and scientists who still study the planet, rather than visit the pavilion, mutter unhappily and do not meet my eyes when I ask what they have discovered. No one likes to bring bad news to their onontio. The unspoken words are clear, however: This thing they refer to as "The Last Winter" is coming, and it is a race between Zaltana's monument and time, between construction and destruction.


Catherine Hubbard died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Conn. on Friday, Dec. 14, 2012.
"We are greatly saddened by the loss of our beautiful daughter, Catherine Violet, 6, and our thoughts and prayers are with the other families who have been affected by this tragedy," Jennifer and Matthew Hubbard said. "We ask that you continue to pray for us and the other families who have experienced loss in this tragedy."


Got one of these? Then bring it to Mull(et).
A special prize will be awarded to the finest mullet on show on the startline during the Cross at the Castle cyclocross weekender in December. As it might be a little late to get one on the go, non-natural mullets are allowed - all forms of Tobermory Waterfalls are equal in our eyes.


Today I finally got Little Bo Peep's pool out. There have been many days that we almost went "swimming" but one thing or another has kept us from going. So today when she was taking her afternoon nap I set up her pool and got everything ready. Other than almost passing out blowing up the pool (the asthma and all...) we had so much fun. She loved her new pool toys. I found this pack of three squirt/squeak fish at the dollar store and she had so much fun playing with them. At first she didn't like the water squirting her tummy because it was splashing a bit in her face (I guess you can pass on fear of water in your face to your children...) but after a while she was trying to grab the water. When I started splashing my hands in the water she didn't know what to do, "Do I grab Mumma's hands or do I grab the shiny stuff around Mumma's hands?" She is so cute! I think she will be just fine at the beach this year.


A juvenile Great Black Hawk, Buteogallus urubutinga. These large buteos are probably the most visible raptor along the rivers, although they are often quiet. In French Guiana, they are called "Buse Urubu", or "vulture hawk".
Travelling by boat offers many advantages over walking, not only in saved energy and efficiency, but also in that approaching wildlife is often much easier. I have covered many of the fish-eaters we saw along the riverside before, but here are some other species that we saw quite often along the Rewa.
Here the Great Black Hawk appears in adult garb. The long bare legs are well-suited to their habit of foarging on the muddy shoreline. They prey on frogs, lizards and snakes, as well as fish occasionally. I actually did a camera trap study a few years back at a great Black Hawk nest, but the data are pretty sparse due to death of the nestling after a few days.
Another Great Black Hawk juvenile looks ready for action, but probably isn't. Mostly they sit and call for food from their parents!
A Muscovy Duck in flight. These treehole-nesting ducks are the progenitors of the domestic strain, and are large and impressive birds. They seemed to travel long distances along the river, and spend the night on quiet ponds and branches of the river. None allowed close approach.
Red and Green Macaws (Ara chloroptera) nuzzling on a tree. These macaws, along with two other species, were loud and obvious along the river. They also travel large distances, and sometimes engage in playful mock combat on high branches.
The Blue and Yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) was also quite abundant. They are a bit larger and deeper-voiced, but sometimes seem social with the other species.
The Swallow-tailed Kite is an amazingly beautiful raptor, which also occurs in Florida. Guyana has both migrants and resident birds.
Black Skimmers, also quite cosmopolitan, breed along the river. We often saw them in company with Large-billed Terns.
The Large-billed Tern (Phaetusa simplex) could be found nesting on sandbars. Sometimes they would dive-bomb our boat.
Three species of swallow were super abundant. We saw White-winged Swallows and White-banded Swallows most commonly, but also Barn Swallows high up on the Rewa.
Dead wood in the river was the favorite perch of most of the swallows. In the evenings, swallows would be replaced by bats and swifts, and sometimes all three taxa would fly together. .
We also saw a lot of nightjars perched on the river, in their usual cryptic fashion.
Here is a Blackish Nightjar, recently disturbed from her nest.
And here is her offspring! Can you see it?
A Green Ibis. These ibises were always a bit disturbed at our approach, and would scramble noisily into the forest.
Rambo checks out some tanagers high in a tree. We didn't often see smaller species along the river, and in fact I found sedentary camp life in French Guiana was better for seeing these types of birds. What an awesome job it must be to guide people upriver in such an awesome place. If I had the means to do so, I think this is something I might like to do one day.
To get back to my posting on the trip to Guyana I made this spring, I should get some of the most charismatic megafauna out of the way.
OK! Are you still with me? Let's talk about drifting on the Rewa! When we reached our highest-upstream camp on the Rewa, Josey, Brian and Rambo took Jonathan and I out "drifting" several times, basically motoring upstream a few kilcks and then drifting and paddling the boat downstream, in the hopes of seeing wildlife that would otherwise be scared by the motor. We did this several times, most often in the evening to get views of all the animals that come to the river to bathe or drink.
Using the drifting technique, we were able to see several family groups a capybaras, a species I had not previously seen in daylight!
The boat was not as quiet as a canoe, but after days of motoring on the river, this was pretty nice!
The capybaras were often accompanied by large horseflies. Surprisingly, none of these flew over to us, even when their hosts slipped into the river.
The capybaras take to the river when disturbed, and can even navigate extremely fast currents. I remember many times at Parare in French Guiana being startled by big capybaras splashing into the fast-flowing Arataye. This stretch of river was much more sedate, so allowed us to see the animals swimming quite well.
As usual, some of teh capybaras has things perched on them. This is a giant cowbird, which feeds on ectoparasites on the large rodent. Even Black Caracaras do this, but we did not see one doing so.
Drifting quietly also allowed us to spy wildlife we might have missed from going to fast: this iguana was well-concealed at most angles.
We also saw a number of tapirs, which often come to water to bathe in the morning an evening. These are the largest of the South American ungulates, and are very impressive see!
The tapir is a very shy creature in the wild, probably because they are hunted by anybody who can kill them! Unlike capybaras, which breed rapidly, tapir are one of the many species that quickly drop in population with even moderate hunting.
Here was a female tapir we saw at noon, not drifting. I did not get a shot of it, but she had big wounds in her flank, likely from a jaguar or puma. Rather than a relaxing bath, this poor tapir was likely hiding from a predator in the water.
This is what a tapir looks like shaking off!
They look much more elegant when their snout isn't flapping madly!
Gorgeous animals! We felt really lucky to be able to see so many of these shy and magnificent creatures!
So Catherine and I have a week off this coming week, so we are planning to go for a bit of a vacation in the Okanagan. We will be mostly in the boonies, camping and searching for critters, so will be out of contact for a bit. It also means I will have to interrupt my series on the Guyana trip. When I come back it will be all Guyana, all Okanagan, all the time!
Our transport will be a venerable old Honda Civic that Catherine picked up for 500 bucks! It has new brakes and everything so should be a safe and reliable steed to carry us eastwards.
We are going to look for a long list of interesting animals, from scorpions and rattlesnakes to a few special spiders (Argiope, Antrodiaetus, Latrodectus [of course!)). Catherine and I will be trying to get some shots of rubber boas as well. Who knows what we will see! This will be a time for us to get out and get busy searching for whatever we can find. I think it will be awesome.

One of the small displays…boots and jeans and flowers, oh my.
In downtown Toronto, it's the final two days of Canada Blooms, Canada's largest garden festival. Every year, hundreds of volunteers work tirelessly to stage the festival and this year they estimate that around 200,000 people will have strolled through the display gardens, flower show entries and educational presentations during its 10 days.
It's a wonderful, joyful jolt of spring in late winter, especially welcome this year because of the never ending snow. Here are a few of my favourite things.
The Green Street Challenge – I recall downtown Picton, here in Prince Edward County, being closed down last summer for a day while a portion of Main Street was converted into a huge playground, turf, play structures, sandboxes and all. It was wonderful and it was replicated in cities across Canada, including one of the busiest intersections of downtown Toronto.
At Canada Blooms, Wentworth Landscaping installed a giant chess set encouraging kids to play outdoors.
"The Grow Room" – from Guelph University – was developed by Space10, Ikea's "innovation hub." It's an inviting space that welcomes you to step inside and luxuriate in the plantness of it all.
There are flowers at Canada Blooms, of course. A lot of spring blooming bulbs, a lot of orchids, a lot of succulents, a ot of annuals and some perennials and shrubs in bloom as well.
One of my favourite new to me products was the Vegepod – a raised bed on wheels. It's self watering, has a built in row cover and a clear plastic canopy so that it can also be a mini greenhouse. Perfect for cool weather greens, particularly if you have rabbits or chipmunks that like to nibble in your garden.
The Vegepod. Invented in Australia.
One of the most interesting displays is Cliff City from landscape company Ecoman – he created these concrete highrise planters to demonstrate how cities can strive to be greener.
All in all, a visit to Canada Blooms is a wonderful way to spend a few hours as we anticipate spring's arrival.
That looks like a fun day out.
It was! I came home sneezing and blowing my nose….like a full on spring allergy attack. Loved it!
Great fun, love the succulent man.

Соловецкий камень — посвящённый памяти жертв политических репрессий в СССР мемориальный камень, происходящий с территории бывшего Соловецкого лагеря, считающегося символом ГУЛАГа и советских репрессий вообще.

Известна целая серия таких памятников:
 Соловецкий камень на Соловецких островах в посёлке Соловецкий на улице Павла Флоренского (1989),
 Соловецкий камень в Москве на Лубянской площади (1990),
 Соловецкий камень в Архангельске на пересечении улицы Гагарина и Обводного канала (1990-1992),
 Соловецкий камень в Санкт-Петербурге на Троицкой площади Петроградской стороны (2002),
 Соловецкий камень в Кирове на улице Розы Люксембург (2008),
 Соловецкий камень в Боровске в Центральном сквере (2017).

Соловецкий камень хранится в музее Свято-Троицкого монастыря в Джорданвилле в США. Такой же камень установлен на могиле правозащитника Вениамина Иофе. Соловецкие камни заложены в основание других мемориалов, например, поклонного Бутовского креста, Памятника пострадавшим в годы гонений и репрессий в Сергиевом Посаде и Стены скорби в Москве.

Также известны «соловецкие камни», посвященные соловецким жертвам, но не происходящие с территории бывшего лагеря:
 «Соловецкий камень» у офиса общества «Мемориал» на Малом Каретном переулке в Москве привезён из Дмитлага и установлен в 1994 году,
 «Соловецкий камень» в Сандармохе открыт в 1997 году.

Deployer is a super simple open-source PHP based deployment tool. It provides out-of-the-box support for a number of popular PHP frameworks, making the process of deploying your websites and applications from Git quick and easy.
Why should I consider Deployer, or any deployment tool?
Deployment tools help to reduce errors when using manual deployments, so a file won't be missed when deploying directly from your code repository. Using a deployment tool allows teams to deploy easily by using identical configurations. A new developer is able to quickly make changes to another developers' codebase and deploy safe in the knowledge that the correct codebase is being deployed to the correct destination.
And, let's not forget every modern developers friend - automation. Automating the deployment stage, where tasks very rarely change as an app grows, allows more time for development.
Conveniently, there are three ways to install Deployer. Installation instructions can be found on their official website.
To check Deployer has been installed correctly run `dep --version`. If this doesn't return `Deployer version master` or similar, something has gone wrong with your installation. Please refer back to the Deployer installation instructions again to see whether a step has been missed.
Once installed, the `dep` command will become available - this is the foundation of all Deployer commands. The first Deployer command to use is `dep init`, which should be run in the apps root directory and will create a `deploy.php` file.
The `deploy.php` file forms the base of each applications' Deployer configuration and holds all the tasks required for deployments. Upon firing the `dep init` command, Deployer will offer a list of default "recipes" to use for the new Deployer instance. Currently; Common, Laravel, Symfony, Yii, Zend Framework, CakePHP, CodeIgnitor and Drupal.
Recipes are used by Deployer as a neat and tidy way to make each of the PHP framework deployment options readily available to the `deploy.php` file. Follow the steps from `dep init` to also assign your Git repository URL.
In its simplest form two variables need updating in the `deploy.php` file to enable automated deployment to your host server. The `application` value should be changed to match your application name, along with the `host` domain (or IP address). Once these three variables have been configured you are able to deploy your codebase to the server using `dep deploy`. If you have not already done so, you will need to add the SSH key of the host server to your Git account online; in our case Github.
Should an error occur with a previous deploy, or if a bug is discovered in the release, this can easily be rectified by executing `dep rollback`. This command will rollback the latest deploy to the previous release.
Deployer is the "new kid on the block" in automated PHP deployment scripts and it is quite similar in its execution to Capistrano and Rocketeer. The approach Deployer have taken with recipes for popular PHP frameworks makes deploying to different instances really simple. The ease at which custom tasks can be integrated into any deployment workflow makes Deployer a breeze to work with.
This blog post will be the first in a series about Deployer where we will delve a little deeper into the workflow and more advanced functionality.

Q: How to use jq streaming for processing large array of objects and convert into array of objects I have a verge large file, 24 GB which consists an array of 22M JSON objects. I have to do some manipulation for each JSON object and write into another file. I am using below command
jq -cn --stream 'fromstream(1|truncate_stream(inputs))' test.json \
| jq -c ' if has ("middleName") then .sortableMiddleName=.middleName else . end | if has("middleName") then .middleName=[.middleName] else . end' \
> test_new.json

The command works without any issues but the output contains JSON objects separated by new line and there is no parent array. For eg initially, the structure of file was like below
[

object 1,
object 2,
........,
.........

]

After processing the file, the structure of output file was like below.
object 1

object 2

........

........

Here there are no array brackets plus each object is separated by new line. I want to convert it into original structure with an array consists of objects separated by comma without affecting memory
Any help is appreciated

A: The following response may be of interest in the case (contrary to the specifics of this particular question)
that the output array is small enough to fit into memory.
One option would be to change the second invocation of jq to this form:
jq -nc '[inputs | .... ]'

The -n option here goes with inputs, and the outer square brackets put everything into an array.
Another possibility, again based on the above assumption, might be to combine the two calls to jq into one:
< data.json jq -cn --stream '
  [fromstream(1|truncate_stream(inputs))
   | if has ("middleName") then .sortableMiddleName=.middleName
     else . end
     | if has("middleName") then .middleName=[.middleName]
       else . end ]'

A: There should be no need to invoke jq twice, but because the output array is going to be so large, your best bet is probably to convert your stream of objects to a JSON array in a funky way, e.g.
echo '['
< data.json jq -nr --stream '
  fromstream(1|truncate_stream(inputs))
  | (if has ("middleName") then .sortableMiddleName=.middleName
     else . end
     | if has("middleName") then .middleName=[.middleName]
       else . end), ","' | sed '$d'
echo ']'

A: Thanks to the "JSON Machine" library, there's a simple and relatively fast solution to the original problem that avoids the disadvantages (*) of jq's streaming parser (jq --stream), though it does entail installing more software.
To make it trivial to use, I wrote a script named jm (which can be found here).  A solution can then be derived from one of the other solutions on this page by simply calling jm to create a stream of the top-level objects. For example:
jm data.json | jq '
  (if has ("middleName") then .sortableMiddleName=.middleName
   else . end
  | if has("middleName") then .middleName=[.middleName]
    else . end), ","' | sed '$d'; echo ']'

(*) The main disadvantages being slowness and obscurity.

Senate candidate Cory Gardner touts failed environmental policy
· Sep. 4, 2014, 8:09 pm
Colorado Republican U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner stands framed by sunflowers and wind turbines and tells voters he co-wrote a law to launch the state's green-energy economy.
But Gardner leaves out something important: The law he touts in a campaign ad for his Senate bid was repealed five years later after being deemed useless.
As Gardner challenges Sen. Mark Udall's re-election, Democrats say the ad whitewashes the Republican's environmental record.
Gardner's campaign says Democrats praised the bill and that it promoted efficiency in Colorado's electricity transmission lines.
The Clean Energy Development Authority was deemed unworkable by those who tried to use it to finance clean-energy projects. A bipartisan vote by lawmakers repealed it in 2012.

London fit-out contractor Miletrian has gone into administrative receivership after losing £2m on a single contract.
The company was placed in the hands of receiver Hayward Stoy on Monday.
David Gilbert, an accountant with Hayward Stoy, said that it was a shame the firm had gone under as it had an "excellent brand name".
He explained that Miletrian had run into difficulties after it suffered a £2m loss on an office block in central London for Artesian.
Gilbert said: "The problem Miletrian had was that it began to operate outside its non-core business of fit-out work – it wasn't really a builder."
Gilbert added that he would begin to sell on Miletrian's contracts.
He said: "The Miletrian brand is very strong, so when selling its remaining core contracts we will be looking to capitalise on the brand and realise some strong company assets."
A Miletrian insider said the firm had more than one problem contract, and that the weakness of its financial position had yet to emerge.
The insider said: "Miletrian has overstretched itself on a number of projects, and its situation comes as no surprise at all."
Last week, Building revealed that the firm had attributed most of its difficulties to a single contract.
In the financial report that accompanied its results for the year ending 31 December 2002, the firm conceded that its was in difficulties after recording a £3m loss. The report revealed that turnover had slipped £1.4m to £38.2m.
The report disclosed that three senior executives had left in the past year, including director Keith Dawes, brother of chief executive Michael Dawes.

This exercise introduces the vocabulary and grammar needed for the function of describing causes and effects.
Read the 'Background' and 'Vocabulary and Grammar' sections, then complete the exercise.
Although it is possible for one cause to lead to one effect, academic subjects are rarely this simple. One cause can lead to more than one effect, for example heavy rain can cause landslides and flooding. Also, more than one cause can lead to one or more effects, for example, eating too much pizza and drinking too much coke for lunch can cause you to get fat and be late for class!
There was flooding because of the heavy rain.
The flooding was caused by the heavy rain.
The heavy rain was the cause of the flooding.
The heavy rain was the reason for the flooding.
The flooding was attributed to the heavy rain.
There was flooding on account of the heavy rain.
Owing to the heavy rain there was flooding.
There was flooding because heavy rain fell all night.
Grammar Note: don't use 'Because' as the first word in a sentence: it's bad style.
The heavy rain may have caused the flooding.
The heavy rain could have caused the flooding.
The heavy rain might have caused the flooding.
Flooding can be caused by heavy rain.
Grammar Note: modal verbs such as 'may', 'could', and 'might' must be followed by infinitive verbs, such as 'have' and 'be'.
Flooding is caused by heavy rain.
The flooding is caused by the heavy rain.
The flooding may be caused by the heavy rain.
The flooding may have been caused by the heavy rain.
The rain may possibly cause flooding.
The rain will certainly cause flooding.
Perhaps the rain will cause flooding.
The rain will definitely cause flooding.
The rain will probably cause flooding.
The rain will undoubtedly cause flooding.
Grammar Note: use 'will' with adverbs that show a high probability, such as 'undoubtedly', 'definitely' and 'probably'. For other adverbs, which show a smaller possibility, use 'may', 'could' or 'might'; e.g. The rain could, perhaps, cause flooding.' or 'The rain may possibly cause flooding'.
For more information on how to use 'lack (of)' correctly, see 'Lack' or 'Lack of'? - an explanation and an exercise.
Because the server crashed, the web site was unavailable and the company lost a lot of money.
The crash may had been caused by a denial-of-service attack by a hacker.
The attack was attributed by an ex-employee who had been fired for using pirate software.
Owed to the financial losses and the reduced confidence in the company's security, the stock price of the company went down.
To prevent further losses, the company may implementing a distributed computing approach by using thousands of PCs rather than a small number of servers.
Possibly this will solve the problem.
Owing to a lack of evidence, the hacker may probably not be arrested.

The server crashed, so the web site was unavailable and the company lost a lot of money.
As the server crashed, the web site was unavailable and the company lost a lot of money.
Owing to the crash of the server, the web site was unavailable and the company lost a lot of money.
Due to the fact that the server crashed, the web site was unavailable and the company lost a lot of money.

The correct answer is, 'The crash may have been caused by a denial-of-service attack by hackers.' (Use an infinitive verb after modal verbs such as 'may'.) Click here to see the modal verbs used in cause and effect.
The correct answer is 'The attack was attributed to an ex-employee who had been fired for using pirate software.' (Use the preposition 'to' after 'attributed' to refer to the cause. Use 'attributed by' to refer to the person such as an official commenting on something; e.g. 'The comment was attributed by the reporter to the witness', or to a source of information such as a newspaper or web site; e.g. 'The statement was attributed by the HK Star newspaper to the company's spokesperson.')

The correct answer is 'To prevent further losses, the company may implement a distributed computing approach by using thousands of PCs rather than a small number of servers.' (Use an infinitive verb after modals like 'may'.) Click here to see the modal verbs used in cause and effect.
The correct answer is 'This may possibly solve the problem.' (For adverbs of degree, such as 'possibly', it's better to put the adverb just in front of the verb that it defines; i.e. 'possibly solve'. Only use 'will' for high probability adverbs such as 'will definitely', 'will probably' and 'will undoubtedly'.) Click here for more information about adverbs in cause and effect.
The correct answer is 'Owing to a lack of evidence, the hacker will probably not be arrested.' (Don't use 'may' for situations where the probability is high.) Click here to see the modal verbs used in cause and effect.
The correct answer is 'In the 1998 economic downturn, Hong Kong's economy may have been influenced by the Japanese economy.' This is an example of the less certain past. Click here to see a comparison of time and certainty in cause and effect. Just changing 'may' to 'might' is not correct, as this does not show the past. Instead 'be' needs to change to present perfect tense.


Imagine for a moment that you've just signed a residential lease on a cute little property at your new assignment. Suddenly, with one fell swoop of an email, you've been notified that your orders have changed.
RELATED: WHAT EXACTLY IS A MILITARY CLAUSE?
To find out what lingo is commonly used with a clause, consider a visit to the nearby military housing office. A representative at a military housing office may have samples of local leases and how they're laid out. Taking time to review these important details may help tailor a lease with the best fit for your military lifestyle.
If you've been completely open and honest with the landlord and provided written notice and a copy of your orders in a timely fashion, the landlord cannot attempt to penalize you for breaking the lease by refusing to return your security deposit. However, if you leave the property damaged, beyond normal wear and tear, it is within the rights of the landlord to withhold your security deposit.
While on the topic of spontaneous military orders, sometimes being assigned military housing may also be a spontaneous moment. At certain assignments, the housing wait list is epic, leaving you and your family unsure of how long you may be without a place to live. While keeping your name on the housing list, it may be a good idea to alert the housing office of your plans to begin a lease off base.
They may offer suggestions for working with a landlord and your current situation. For example, the terms of your lease could stipulate month-to-month renting guidelines. Or, you may come to an agreement with the landlord regarding the temporary nature of your housing needs. Ensure that the landlord understands your intent to live in military housing upon availability. Be aware of what the landlord may require from you upon discontinuing your lease, such as one or more months of rent or for you to find a new tenant to move in.
Working with your landlord to agree upon fair terms may prevent frustration and unwelcome stress. As mentioned earlier, it may be a good idea to go over the terms and clauses of the lease with a legal professional before signing.

Motivational speaking career
After his football-ending injury, Davis founded Winners, Inc., to provide tutoring, mentoring, and ministry programs for disadvantaged youth.,

Davis also became a motivational speaker to encourage at-risk populations to improve their literacy skills.  His main message focuses on learning and cites education as a key factor for future success.  His presentations are often based on his life: he improved his remedial reading skills  after growing up in a rough inner-city Los Angeles neighborhood, where he lost his father to drug addiction then suicide when he was 4 years old, and lived through his mother's reliance on alcohol and abusive relationships.,

Davis has delivered motivational presentations for more than 3,000 schools in 25 countries, one of them being Calvary Chapel Christian School  as he was introduced by Pastor Joe.  One of his main messages is how individuals can decide to make a U-turn in their lives through hard work and persistence, making good personal choices that lead to personal respect and healthy relationships. Additional presentations at school assemblies discuss handling peer pressure, avoiding bullying and preventing substance use and abuse.

Genetic algorithms are used to find optimal solutions by the method of development-induced discovery and adaptation; Generally used in problems where finding linear / brute-force is not feasible in the context of time, such as – Traveling salesmen problem, timetable fixation, neural network load, Sudoku, tree (data-structure) etc. to set. The first requirement is an encoding scheme that is suitable for representing individuals, the second requirement is an evaluation function to represent a person's fitness.
Genetic algorithm plays the same role as Artificial Intelligence. But sometimes the genetic algorithm is considered stronger than AI. This is because unlike conventional AI systems, GA will adjust on the changing input and will also be able to handle noise or fuzzy input. In addition, GE is capable of handling complex problems better.
1.Initial Population: The process begins with a set of individuals called the population. Everyone is the solution to the problem that you want to solve. A person is characterized by a set of parameters known as genes. To make chromosome, the gene is added to a wire.
2.Fitness Function: The fitness function determines how to fit a person is (the ability to compete with someone else's person). It gives each person a fitness score The possibility that a person is selected for reproduction is based on his fitness score.
3.Selection: The idea of the election phase is to select the most suitable individuals and allow them to pass their genes to the next generation. Two pairs of parents (parents) are selected on the basis of their fitness score. People with high fitness are more likely to be selected for reproduction.
4.Crossover: Crossover is playing a vital role in genetic algorithms. For each pair of parents, a crossover point is selected from within the genes on random.
5. Mutation: In some newborns formed, some of their genes can be subjected to mutation with less random chance. This means that some bits may be flipped in the bit string.
6. Termination: The algorithm expires if the population has changed (does not produce a line which is quite different from the previous generation). Then it is said that the genetic algorithm has given a solution to our problem.

Protein folding and protein/ligand docking.

We know how PSO (Particle sworm optimization) has been inspired by a group of social insects for food. In the same way, we can define biogeographic based adaptation, which is inspired by genetic development.
Genetic algorithms are based on the above principles. Whereas we had a herd in PSO, here we have a 'population'. All particles in the PSO survive till the end. In genetic algorithms, this cannot be necessarily true, because the weaker population dies over time.
Consider 2 particles that reproduce their own 2 more particles, which are called descent.
Eventually, these 4 particles, 2 parents and 2 children, weaker 2 will die, while stronger 2 will be saved. It can be done very well in comparison to Darwin's theory of evolution: More than many generations, those who help in reproduction and reproduction in succession, become more powerful in the population, while others who are harmful and They have undesirable traits, they are forced to fall into oblivion.


The Grantsburg Hockey Association has a long history and a great future. Our program covers children from pre-school to high school. Families from many communities are a part of our association. "Purple Pride" runs rampant in our group. Our teams are proud to wear the Grantsburg colors, and tell other teams where they are from. There is a lot of spirit and pride in our community.
One of the concepts of our sport, that is often missed, is that we are truly a family. Being a part of our association is very special. The opportunity to work closely with each other, hours on the road with our own families, involvement with other children and families, brings us all together in a very unique fashion.

It finally makes sense
Bye bye IGTV, Quibi lets you watch in both portait and landscape modes
No matter which way you watch, each orientation provides a unique perspective.
Nicholas Sutrich

Quibi is a new streaming service that's designed to be viewed on your phone in small segments of time, often seven to ten minutes.
175 new shows are planned for the first year, and at least three hours of new content are scheduled for release every weekday of the year.
Subscription pricing starts at $4.99, and the service starts streaming on April 6th.
Are you like me and hate the concept of vertical video? While some platforms try to embrace the fact that many people are too lazy to turn their phones to watch a proper video, Quibi is banking on exactly the opposite scenario to unfold. Quibi will provide users with the ability to watch its shows in either landscape or portrait formats, each format offering a different perspective during the show.
Quibi is hoping this revolutionary new way of viewing videos helps please everyone, no matter what your viewing preferences are, and will even encourage viewers to take a more active role in viewing content by choosing what they see. Quibi's minute-long teaser in the Tweet below paints an incredibly intriguing picture and what might ultimately get quite a few people to subscribe to the service.
https://twitter.com/Quibi/status/1214968715499827200?s=20
Quibi is headed by CEO Meg Whitman, a name you might recognize from her tenure as President and CEO at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Seeing as how the streaming market has become a bit crowded as of late, Whitman and the founder of Quibi, Jeffrey Katzenberg, had to come up with a unique way of presenting content that would entice folks out of an additional $5 per month. The result is a service that's based entirely around the fact that people are using their phones to stream more video than ever and often watch lots of content on the go.
The biggest issue with on-the-go entertainment often revolves around the amount of time available to watch content, usually blocks of only a few minutes at a time. As a result, Quibi, which is an abbreviation of "quick bites", has staked its entire purpose on delivering shows and movies in short seven to ten-minute segments. Quibi said that it'll deliver 175 new shows in its first year, which begins on April 6th, and will cost $4.99 per month with ads or $7.99 per month for an ad-free subscription. Don't worry about those ads too much though, as Quibi says ads will only be six-to-ten seconds long for most types of programming. T-Mobile subscribers will also get access to Quibi for free on many plans, adding to the company's free Netflix policy.
Big names like Steven Spielberg, Chrissy Teigen, Cara Delevingne, Zac Efron, and Bill Murray are all creating content just for Quibi, and you can even find big spots like 60 Minutes offering up daily news in bite-sized segments. Content will span three different categories: movies, shows, and daily essentials. The line between movies and shows is very likely to get blurred on the service, though, as both formats are sticking to the seven-to-ten minute timeframe and breaking things up into chapters. At least three hours of content are scheduled to arrive every single weekday to the service, meaning you should be able to find plenty to watch during your daily commute to work.
Quibi is utilizing a partnership with Google to develop the back end technology for the service, which is hosted on the Google Cloud and should provide some incredibly robust, high-quality streaming. Surprisingly, the Google Pixel team also has a hand in the pot and is working to optimize the mobile viewing experience. It's certainly a big gamble given the successful launch of Disney Plus (Disney+) over the past few months, in addition to the plethora of other streaming video services that exist, free or paid.

Independent Chinese Cinema: Filming in the "Space of the People"
This article discusses two recent works by emerging documentary auteur Zhao Liang, Crime and Punishment(2007) and Petition(2009). These penetrating observations of state-society relations in contemporary China render visible those who are un(der)represented, critique the deception of mass media images, and show the various complex ways in which power is connected to surveillance and visibility. Thus the filmmaker, his camera, and the spectators are implicated in power relationships as we cast voyeuristic, panoptic, activist, empathetic, or critical gazes upon the representatives of state power and upon the disenfranchised.
