A Derry based yoga group have issued an invitation to Father Roland Colhoun to come and try yoga classes with them.
Karen Baldwin and Sophie Dechant of Pole Infinity and Beyond Gravity at Elagh business park say they'd love the Derry priest to come and try out their yoga techniques where they help people suffering from chronic pain.
Father Roland Colhoun hit the headlines last week when he warned parishioners against taking part in yoga and having Indian head message.
However at the Pole Infinity and Beyond Gravity studio where people are taught yoga at their own level, even chair yoga, instructors have asked the priest to come and try it out for himself.
"I would like to invite Father Colhoun to the studio to come and try it out for himself," said Karen.
"There's nothing in this studio contradicting any religious belief, all we are doing are focusing on muscle groups, teaching people stretching exercises and relaxation techniques which is promoting mental health well being.
The studio opened in August and already runs a series of yoga classes for men and women of different abilities.
The techniques have helped a number of people with conditions such as MS, Arthritis, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue as well as a number of disorders that involve high levels of pain.
One woman attending the chair yoga class said it really helped with pain and to get her balance right.

Q: XSLT importing a partial XML segment into XML with processing-instructions I have a xml document that I need to replace specific nodes with partial xml segments that contains both nodes as well as processing-instructions.  I want to preserve the PI's but am running into issues in the replacement.
Segment example: general.xml
<root>
  <!--General Settings -->
  <?mapping EnvironmentSetting="envname"?>
  <setting name="SubscriptionName" value="*" />
</root>

Source xml:
<environment>
  <General />
</environment>

Transform -
<xsl:template match="* | processing-instruction() | comment()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*/General">
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('general.xml')/root"/>
</xsl:template>

The output is:
<environment>
  <root>
    <!--General Settings -->
    <?mapping EnvironmentSetting="envname"?>
    <setting name="SubscriptionName" value="*" />
  </root>
</environment>

But I want:
<environment>
  <!--General Settings -->
  <?mapping EnvironmentSetting="envname"?>
  <setting name="SubscriptionName" value="*" />
</environment>

Changing the document section to root/* drops processing-instructions (and comments)
<xsl:copy-of select="document('general.xml')/root/*"/>
...
<environment>
  <setting name="SubscriptionName" value="*" />
</environment>

Changing the document section to root/process-instructions drops the nodes
<xsl:copy-of select="document('general.xml')/root/processing-instruction()"/>
...
<environment>
  <?mapping EnvironmentSetting="envname"?>
</environment>

Trying to do an | just matches first parameter -
<xsl:copy-of select="document('general.xml')/root/processing-instruction() | * | comment()"/>
...
<environment>
  <?mapping EnvironmentSetting="envname"?>
</environment>

So how do I get my cake and eat it too?  I seem so close, but am having problems finding any examples of doing what I want to do.

A: This should do it:
<xsl:template match="* | processing-instruction() | comment()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*/General">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="document('general.xml')/root"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="root">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:template>

Alternatively you could make a copy of several types of nodes using the union operator:
<xsl:template match="*/General">
  <xsl:variable name="r" select="document('general.xml')/root" />
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$r/* | $r/processing-instruction() | $r/comment()" />
</xsl:template>

India vs England, 2nd Test: The first day of the Lord's Test was abandoned without a ball being bowled.
India vs England: The opening day was washed-out due to rain. © Twitter
Frustrating the two teams, incessant rain washed out the entire day one of the second cricket Test between India and England at Lord's at London on Thursday. The play was called off at 4.50 pm local time without a single ball being bowled. The match officials decided to take an early lunch, moving the scheduled break ahead by 30 minutes. Even after lunch, there was no respite from the rain and it went on throughout the afternoon. Finally, 45 minutes after the tea break, the umpires inspected conditions twice before declaring no play was possible today. The remaining four days will see 96 overs each to make up for the lost time. However, there is more rain forecast for this weekend and as such this match could see routine rain breaks. A few players, including Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings, did make their way to the indoor nets to pass time. As the scheduled tea break came over, there was some weather clearance in the distance and the rain did slow down. The umpires came out and had a chat with the ground staff as well, who were regularly cleaning off water from the covers. England are leading the five-match series 1-0 after winning the first Test in Birmingham by 31 runs. England did name a first 12 on Wednesday, with 20-year-old Olliver Pope waiting to make his Test debut. India have not announced their playing XI but skipper Virat Kohli had said that he was tempted to play a second spinner. That thought might well have changed now, given the weather conditions and forecast ahead. (HIGHLIGHTS)

16:00 IST: India skipper Virat Kohli, might fancy playing top-order batsman Cheteshwar Pujara in the second Test. Barring the captain and all-rounder Hardik Pandya, the Indian batting line-up struggled in the previous Test. A few changes on the cards for the hosts, looks surely on the cards.
15:55 IST: England are also expected to have a new slip cordon in absence of Dawid Malan, who has been replaced by Ollie Pope for the second Test. Malan had dropped India skipper Virat Kohli on a couple of occasion in the opening Test.
15:50 IST: At the moment it looks like the 20-year-old Ollie Pope has to wait longer for his England Test debut. The hosts skipper Joe Root had confirmed his presence in the playing XI on Wednesday. Pope is expected to come in to bat at number 4.
15:43 IST: Latest weather update suggests there is a constant drizzle in London.

14:03 IST: India lost the first Test of the five-match series by 31 runs and will look to bounce back.
14:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the Live coverage from the opening day of the second Test between India and England at Lord's.
In order to win the second Test, the batsmen -- Ajinkya Rahane, Hardik Pandya, Vijay, Dinesh Karthik -- need to click in unison because the bowlers are doing their job handsomely. Talking about the bowling, in both the innings off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin scalped four and three wickets respectively. He was well supported by pacers Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Shami. Umesh Yadav was also impactful. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the second Test as he has not fully recovered from a left thumb injury, bowling coach Bharat Arun confirmed on Tuesday. Despite that the team management could make a few changes, bringing in a second spinner to add more firepower, depending on the nature of the wicket at Lord's.
England, on the other hand, will be without their star all-rounder Ben Stokes and batsman Dawid Malan. Stokes, who picked up four wickets during India's second innings, is trying to clear his name in court after being charged with affray following a brawl in September 2017, while Malan has been dropped due to poor performance. Malan was replaced by 20-year-old Ollie Pope, who is set to make his debut.
England would also like to see an improved batting performance. They were reduced to 80 for seven in the second innings before young all-rounder Sam Curran's attacking 63 rescued them as they reached 180.
Squads:
India: Virat Kohli (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Rishabh Pant, Karun Nair, Hardik Pandya, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah.
England: Joe Root (captain), Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Oliver Pope, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Jamie Porter, Sam Curran, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes. Play fantasy league and win cash daily

The players are out in the middle. Two southpaws - Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings, will open as usual for the home side. Ishant Sharma will bowl first up to Cook. Here we go!
Right then. 96 overs. Will India get to bat today itself? Not that England cannot bat the whole day but you know... these days... batting 90 overs is a massive task for batsmen from any country whether the conditions be conducive or not. That temptation to set the tone early will be there and in that process, if India manage to snaffle a few early wickets, they can run through this not-so-strong England batting line-up.
Interesting thoughts from Sourav Ganguly. He reckons that there might not be too much purchase for the spinners early on but all is not lost. What he does warn the Indian side though is - DO NOT TRY AND DEFEND 107. Look at the target to restrict England to as 200. He expects the pitch to have uneven bounce on Monday, so if India manage to defend 250 in the final innings, we could have a nice game on offer.
PITCH REPORT - Sanjay Manjrekar doing the pitch report says that there are no devils on top of the surface. A few red marks are seen, a few indentations but nothing much. As far as the seamers are concerned, he reckons that keep it outside off on a nice length. For the spinners, he is ASSUMING the dryness of the pitch will help Ashwin and Kuldeep. But then, he also admits that it is too early to expect because it is just a Day 2 pitch - to be honest, not even a Day 2 one, with less than 40 overs bowled.
WEATHER REPORT - Wow. After the storm, comes the calm, goes the saying. We have been brooding for the last 2 days over the fickle weather but today, it is bright and sunny. What is more, there is only 12 percent forecast of rain, which we hope, is as good as 0. Beautiful conditions to play cricket.
Two days, 10 wickets taken. What thought comes to your mind? Ok... the team batting first might have batted long and hard and might not have felt comfortable enough to declare. Wrong. Very wrong. Someone did fight long and hard... long enough to frustrate the spectators and fans. RAIN. However, we did have some play and in that 'little' period, Jimmy Anderson's 5-fer skittled out India with terrific seam and swing bowling for 107. Paltry or enough? Only time will tell. Hello and a warm welcome to the third day's play of the second Test between England and India at Lord's.
... DAY 3, SESSION 1 ...
England are obviously on the front foot. A whole day tomorrow and they'll come out fresh in the morning and look to add to India's woes. The visitors will rely on the weather tomorrow, massively, to assist them as it did England today. It was evident that when the sun came up today, the ball wasn't moving much, so the clouds and the wind would be their best friends. Should be another exciting one on Day 3, weather permitting. So join us at 1100 local (1000 GMT) for all the action. See you folks then!
With the rain intervening and playing a crucial role in the toss, England chose to bowl and James Anderson, like he so often does, took full advantage of the swinging conditions on offer. He got rid of both the openers and set it all up from there. Cheteshwar Pujara's unfortunate run out at the hands of his skipper didn't help either. It seemed like a mere procession from that point on. Chris Woakes, along with Sam Curran, joined in and induced further damage. Anderson came back towards the end and finished with a fifer. With that, he now has 99 Test wickets at Lord's, one short of an important milestone.
So, after more stops than starts on this rain-marred Day 2 of the Lord's Test, we've had a lot of action towards the final leg of the day. India's batting frailties came to the fore once more and were exposed, rather embarrassingly, as they were bowled out for just a mere 107, in effectively just under a session. The ball was doing a lot, but you'd expect more from the no.1 ranked Test team in the world. If Ravichandran Ashwin is your highest-scorer with 29, there are some serious questions which need to be asked.

Response roundup to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
by Hearing the Voice | Aug 18, 2017 | Cultural & Media Events, Reviews, Uncategorized
Last week saw the release of Ninja Theory's Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, a new game on PS4 and PC that attempts to simulate some of the experiences associated with psychosis. The game focuses on Senua, a Pictish warrior traumatised by an attack on her community by the Viking-like "Northmen". During the game Senua hears voices, sees visions and has regular flashbacks that tell her story.
With support from the Wellcome Trust, Ninja Theory have developed the representation of psychosis in the game in collaboration with Prof Paul Fletcher of Cambridge University and a number of experts by experience. Hearing the Voice were privileged to contribute to the game by consulting on the design of Senua's voice-hearing experiences. Our P.I. Charles Fernyhough explains how this came about in the video below.
We'll be writing more about our involvement in the creation of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice in the weeks to come.
The reception for the game has been hugely positive (scoring 82% on Metacritic), with many reviewers commenting on the immersive and intense experience of hearing Senua's voices throughout the game. Here we have collected together a selection of the reviews, plus posts on Hellblade's development from Paul Fletcher and Tameem Antoniades (the game's Creative Director).
AV Club – "This is a character study in a way only video games can pull off, throwing audiences into the mind of someone who is experiencing a psychotic break, making them see what they see, hear what they hear, and feel what they feel… And all the while the voices in Senua's head, dueling manifestations of her most fearful and confident and self-hating sides, flutter around your ears through convincing audio trickery".
Forbes – "[P]robably the most realistic portrayal of mental illness I've yet seen in a video game."
IGN – "[An] incredibly smart use of audio and visual distortion and trickery to convey the frightening effects of psychosis, hallucinations, and delusion."
Shacknews – "The game is unsettling in a unique way, a way defined by its incredible voice design… This is clearly one of the key components to the representation of psychosis in the game and it is executed with perfection."
Trusted Reviews – "An amazing effort… combines superb visuals, audio and gameplay into one hugely coherent, powerful experience. Hellblade is damn near perfect."
Eurogamer.net – "Hellblade is a remarkable game… a superb exploration of mental illness told with poise and poignancy."
The Harvard Crimson – "[Hellblade] creates an experience which I can say without reservation is unlike anything I've ever come across before".
Motherboard – "Of all the books and all the movies and TV shows I've ever seen about mental health issues, I've never seen anything that recreates the feeling as well as Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice."

We propose a framework that harnesses visual cues in an unsupervised manner to learn the co-occurrence distribution of items in real-world images for complementary recommendation. Our model learns a non-linear transformation between the two manifolds of source and target item categories (e.g., tops and bottoms in outfits). Given a large dataset of images containing instances of co-occurring items, we train a generative transformer network directly on the feature representation by casting it as an adversarial optimization problem. Such a conditional generative model can produce multiple novel samples of complementary items (in the feature space) for a given query item. We demonstrate our framework for the task of recommending complementary top apparel for a given bottom clothing item. The recommendations made by our system are diverse, and are favored by human experts over the baseline approaches.
C. P. Huynh and A. Ciptadi—Equal contributors.


As we begin 2018, one of the issues that seems to never go totally away is right to repair. There is good reason for this since many of the issues now at the forefront of our industry, such as access to data transmitted by embedded telematics systems, have as their root the right of car owners to obtain repairs for their vehicle from the location of their choice and not be limited to authorized dealer facilities.
Further, the right to repair battle points to an important dynamic that is occurring not only in our industry, but in many others where manufacturers are attempting to assert increased control over how their products are used and repaired. Therefore, it is important to go back and review where the right to repair came from and its current status since its repercussions are not only being felt in the automotive aftermarket in this country, but in other countries and even other industries.
Many in our industry are no doubt familiar with the right to repair battle that our industry launched as far back as 2001, but only concluded when a law was finally enacted in Massachusetts in 2012. The car companies embarked on a major campaign to prevent passage, only to finally concede defeat when Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly approved a right to repair ballot measure by an 86-14 percent margin as part of the 2012 elections.
Following the victory in 2012, the car companies agreed in a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with Auto Care and the Coalition for Auto Repair Equality (CARE) to comply with the Massachusetts right to repair law nationwide in order to avoid a state by state battle over right to repair. The result of this effort is that there is now a nationwide requirement that vehicle manufacturers make available to independent repairers at a fair and reasonable price, the same repair information, tools and software that they provide their dealers. This year, the right to repair law and MOU will require car companies to make all of their software, repair capabilities and information available over the cloud on a subscription basis.
Under this system, a shop should be able to download all of the repair capabilities onto a generic laptop and then connect to a vehicle using a standardized interface that meets SAE J2535 or ISO 22900 industry standards. If everything works as planned, a shop would be able to obtain on either a long or short-term basis, all of the same diagnostic and repair capabilities that a new car dealer receives for nearly any car that comes into their shop, without the investment of tens of thousands of dollars to purchase car company proprietary tools. Of course, with the benefits of right to repair come some responsibilities.
While having a lot of great tools at their disposal is great, shops need to ensure that their technicians are properly trained to work on late model computer controlled vehicles and know where they can obtain the tools, software and information they need to repair them.
Further, if information, tools or software are not available, shops/technicians need to take the responsibility to let us know so that action can be taken to ensure compliance.
Which leads me to a quick word about the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF). NASTF was designated to help ensure that technicians can get what they need to repair cars and to close gaps that occur either on purpose or by accident.
Notwithstanding the day-to-day problems that sometimes occur with right to repair in the real world, it is easy to take for granted that the independent aftermarket has for the most part pretty good access to the information and tools needed to work on most makes sold in this country. However, the recent battles in the electronic device industry and the farm industry demonstrates that consumer choice does not always come easy. You may have seen in the press that independent technicians that work on electronic devices claim that companies like Apple are locking them out from access to the tools and information to work on iPhones and tablets, leaving the OE designated repair facilities the only place consumers can go to obtain repairs.
In the farm industry, John Deere requires that all of their tractors are repaired by only authorized repairers, thus delaying needed repairs for farmers that depend on their tractors to keep their farms profitable. Groups representing independent technicians in the electronic device and farm industry have been pressing for their own version of right to repair, and had bills introduced in about eight states during 2017.
While all of those efforts were unsuccessful, they are promising to return in 2018 with additional state efforts.
Further, groups representing the independent automotive aftermarket in Australia and South Africa are fighting their own battle for right to repair. In these countries, the same vehicle manufacturers that are making most information and tools available in the U.S., have severely limited what is available to independents. Our success in the U.S. is providing important assistance to these groups as they move forward with their right to repair efforts.
The right to repair battles in the U.S. and globally makes me wonder what would have happened in the U.S. had the industry not pressed the right to repair battle. It also points to the fact that just like the freedom we enjoy in this country, competition cannot be taken for granted — it must be something that the independent aftermarket must fight to maintain every day, whether through government action or just by educating consumers on the benefits they receive from having a choice on where they get their car repaired.


We want to make a difference in how drugs are discovered. Generally, our collaborators have developed interesting biology and have access to assays and animal models to confirm the activity of molecules. We use AVO (Autonomous Virtual Organism) to accelerate the discovery of viable lead compounds and preclinical candidates.
Each project is customized to address the key questions associated with the target, disease, route of administration, etc.
The resulting molecules are not merely "hits"
Hit. A hit is a compound that has the desired activity in a compound screen and whose activity is confirmed upon retesting.
Hit to Lead. The aim of this stage of the work is to refine each hit series to produce more potent and selective compounds which possess pharmacokinetic properties appropriate for further characterization in vivo. Typically, the work now consists of intensive structure activity relationship (SAR) investigations around each core compound structure, with measurements being made to establish the relative activities of each analog.
Lead Compound. Structure that has activity against the chosen target, as well as appropriate ADME characteristics, but not yet good enough to be the drug itself.
ADME. The four processes involved when a drug is taken are absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination or excretion (ADME). Pharmacokinetics is the way the body acts on the drug once it is administered. It is the measure of the rate (kinetics) of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME). All the four processes involve drug movement across the membranes.
Lead Optimization. The object of this final drug discovery phase, which is the most intensive and costly phase, is to maintain favorable properties in lead compounds while improving on deficiencies in the lead structure. Compounds at this stage may be deemed to have met the initial goals of the lead optimization phase and are ready for final characterization before being declared as a preclinical candidate.
Preclinical Candidate. A member of a biologically and pharmacologically active compound series with desired potency, selectivity, pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and toxicity properties that can advance to IND-enabling studies (studies required by regulatory agencies like the FDA prior to testing in humans) for clinical candidate selection.


"Increasingly it's clear that Canada doesn't have a problem with a declining middle-class; rather it's a problem of income and wealth inequality for younger generations," he said.
To me this means that we will have look that much harder at what 'work' will be like tomorrow and what the real value is of university education when it means students have to incur vast loads of debt to obtain degrees that no longer hold the value they once had. It will require a radical overhaul in thinking about how we educate and to what end goal.

TGS 06: Kojima on Metal Gear
A hyped-up Hideo Kojima takes Konami's event stage and talks nonstop about upcoming Metal Gear Solid products. New details on Metal Gear Solid 4 revealed.
By Hirohiko Niizumi on September 26, 2006 at 9:43AM PDT
TOKYO--2006 has been a big year for Konami director Hideo Kojima, who's celebrating his 20th year in the video game industry and the 10th anniversary of his production team. But rather than to look back in the past, Kojima had a lot to say about the future of his Metal Gear Solid series, and he spoke almost nonstop about it for well over two hours at Konami's event stage.
Metal Gear series creator Hideo Kojima had plenty of details to divulge about plans for the future.
"I've been making games for the past 20 years, but the first 10 years [up until Metal Gear Solid] were pretty dark. I wasn't thought of so highly in my company. It was the fans and their letters that kept me going," started off Kojima, who quickly went on to talk about the upcoming games from his production team.
Kojima began his presentation with a trailer of Metal Gear Solid BD for the PlayStation Portable, a game based on Ashley Wood's comic book series by IDW Publishing. The end of the trailer showed a glimpse of Metal Gear Ray, and while it's already been reported in the latest issue of Famitsu, Kojima reconfirmed that a sequel based on Metal Gear Solid 2's storyline will be released in the future.
"The second series in the comic is currently at around volume 8, and it should run to about issue 12. We're planning to also make it into a Bande Dessinee [BD]. The original game [on the PS2] was all about Raiden, but the comic has a lot more Snake," Kojima said.
Kojima then went on to show a trailer of Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, which showed various new characters, as well as some intriguing illustrated scenes, with one scene showing Big Boss' first encounter with a young Roy Campbell, Solid Snake's commanding officer. While Snake has always worked solo in previous MGS installments, this time he's recruiting soldiers and making a team in Portable Ops. Kojima revealed that the soldiers can't be brought back to life if they're killed, so the game will feature a "White Flag" system to compensate for the severity of this.
"You can use your unimportant soldiers like a bunch of Pachinko balls [meaning they'll go off without much of a chance of coming back], but when it comes to your important characters, you don't want to get them killed," explained Kojima.
Portable Ops will be the first time that Kojima Productions is releasing a "real" Metal Gear Solid on the PSP that's not a card game, and they're doing so with a bang. Kojima unveiled that not just one, but two limited edition PSP packages will be released for Portable Ops. Both editions come with a premium PSP pouch, but the one that's more impressive will be released from Konami's Japanese online shopping site, and it will apparently be made of real python skin. We expect to hear a price on both editions soon, as Portable Ops is scheduled for a December release in Japan. Konami's online shop is also offering an official Portable Ops T-shirt for fans that want to get in the mood before the game comes out.
Before going on to talk about Metal Gear Solid 4, Kojima also took a short moment to announce that a budget-price reprint of Metal Gear Acid 2 will be released in Japan on November 16. The game will be offered at the new low price of 2,800 yen ($24), but it will still come with the constructible eyewear that allows for the game to be played in 3D.
Moving on, Kojima took the second half of his presentation to talk about Metal Gear Solid 4. By this time, Konami's booth was crowded by fans like "penguins during spawning period," as Kojima put it. Showing off the new TGS 2006 trailer, Kojima confirmed that all the scenes were created with real-time rendering, similarly to the trailer from last year's TGS. He also mentioned that the Electronic Entertainment Expo trailer from May (also done in real time) will be used as a part of the game's opening sequence when the game is completed.
"We've finally started to figure out the PS3, and we've decided on [MGS4's] game systems," said Kojima. "Back with last year's TGS trailer, we were still trying to learn the PS3's potentials. Now that we've figured out what we want to do, all we have to do now is to create it."
Pointing to the trailer, Kojima talked about the new high-tech camouflage suit that Snake is now wearing, which changes its colors in real time and blends Snake into his environment. The suit is called an "octo-cam," which derives from the words "octopus" and "camouflage." Kojima explained that, while it's very little known, the octopus is one of the sneakiest creatures in nature, and it even beats chameleons when it comes to disguise. While a chameleon can only change its color to match its environment, an octopus can not only mimic its environment color, but also change its shape accordingly.
"The real skill in hiding is to avoid the most obvious places like lockers or underneath tables, because that's the kind of place that people would search first. It's best to hide in places that are already visible, because nobody would care to notice it. For example, people would search a locker that's closed, but they wouldn't check a locker that's already halfway opened. You can just hide in a dead angle of it," said Kojima.
"Up until now in the MGS series, your body was completely hidden [in places like lockers and desks]. But in MGS4, you'll be hiding in a new way. In previous MGS games, you would've hid behind pillars so that enemies couldn't see you. But in MGS4, you'd be standing in front of the pillars and using the octo-cam to blend into it."
Kojima then presented a number of slides and showed how the developers have been traveling all over the world to gather research material for MGS4, including the Middle East, South America, and Eastern Europe. "Snake is going to be going all around the world like Hitchcock or 007 [James Bond]...We've visited normal homes [in villages] as well as various locations like an iron foundry, underground passageways, warships, and military facilities."
The developers are also making sure that the battle tactics in MGS4 are as good as and even better than previous installments. Once again, the developers went under a training course with former SWAT instructor Motosada Mouri, who's been the military adviser for the MGS series and helped out in creating the Close Quarter Combat system (CQC) in MGS3. Visitors to the Konami booth got to see some video of Kojima and other staffs infiltrating a house and putting on camouflage makeup to challenge Mouri on a survival mission.
"I've kept shooting at him, but it was like he's invincible. He caught us all. I think he wears an infinite bandana," Kojima joked to his fans.
There's no question that MGS4 has more detailed graphics than its predecessors, especially due to its shift to high definition on the PS3. But Kojima is adding detail to Snake's movement as much as he is to the game's overall graphics. For example, if a bullet comes flying at Snake's face, he'll automatically sway his head and dodge it. Kojima assured the crowd that it won't be anything that would affect the game's difficulty level.
MGS4 will be the first game in the series to feature characters based on real-life people.
In terms of realism, Kojima is also taking on a new challenge in MGS4. Up until now, characters in the MGS series were all fictional, and while Snake might've been inspired by John Carpenter's Escape From New York, his look was still original. That's about to take a shift in MGS4. For the first time in the series, the game will feature a group of characters that are all based on real-life people. Kojima avoided giving too much information since the reason behind it is going to be a huge surprise, but he showed off a model sample of actress Yumi Kikuchi, who will be in the game as the "Japanese representative." Kikuchi was hosting Kojima's stage presentation at TGS, and she also plays Kojima's partner role in his Internet radio drama series, "Idea Spy: Operation 2.5."
In terms of music, Kojima confirmed that MGS4's scores will once again be created by Harry Gregson-Williams, who provided the excellent soundtracks for the previous two MGS titles. The TGS 2006 trailer music (titled "Old Snake") was one of his works.
"Gregory-san had a lot of movie projects like The Chronicles of Narnia, so we thought it wouldn't be possible for him [to take on MGS4]. But he's watched the E3 trailer like 50 times, and he said he wanted to do it," said Kojima.
The stage event also gave Kojima the opportunity to show off Metal Gear Solid 4's official logo, which was created by Logan, a production studio famous for its works on TV spots including iPod, Volkswagen, and Xbox.
Logan's Alex Tylevich appeared on stage and commented that Kojima wanted a classic taste to MGS4's logo but with a touch of modernism. Kojima added that he wanted a new look to the logo since he considered this to be the new beginning of the MGS series, as the previous stories have already concluded as a trilogy.
Kojima also revealed that the intro sequence for MGS4 will be done by Logan, replacing Kyle Cooper who worked on the previous two installments. The intro sequence of MGS3 let users control the screen, but according to Kojima, MGS4 is going to be even better and startling. "The customer-service phone line is going to be flooded with calls, and I'm going to get fired," joked Kojima.
Whatever the intro will be like, Kojima's idea behind it was big enough to even get developers jumping out of their seats. According to MGS4 codirector Shuyou Murata, "I totally flipped out when I heard about it. It's going to be like a promotional video, but there's going to be more to it."
Logan's Alex Tylevich was tight about releasing any details, but he gave some first hints, commenting, "It's going to be highly unusual for a video game opening. It's going to be very futuristic."
Metal Gear Solid 4 is slated for a 2007 release, so there's still plenty of time before gamers will get their hands on it. Meanwhile, fans can start preregistering to Konami's new Metal Gear community site that's tentatively named "Metal Gear My Page," scheduled to launch in December. Fans can create their own blogs, communicate with each other, upload contributions, and also collect "Kojima Fan Points" to expand the services they can use.
Kojima also mentioned that MGS4 merchandise is already underway. As one of the products, he introduced an "Old Snake" action figure with moveable parts, which will be released by Medicom Toy. The figure is created under direct supervision of MGS series graphic designer Yoji Shinkawa.

Q: cpp compiler could not generate operator = for class fstreambase, istream and ostream I am trying to concatenate the contents of file1 and file2 into file3 using operator overloading in c++, but it is giving me 3 errors as mentioned
below :
Error : compiler could not generate operator= for class 'fstreambase'
Error : compiler could not generate operator= for class 'istream'
Error : compiler could not generate operator= for class 'ostream'
Here is my code :
#include<iostream.h>

    getch();
}

Ps: The code is not yet complete(inside overloading function) and I'm using TurboC3 compiler
This is the question btw
What am I doing wrong here? Please help. Thank you.

A: You are over-engineering the problem. Modern C++, in particular, already makes copying file data around ridiculously easy.
To concatenate two files in memory:

*

*Read the first file to a std::string

*Read the second file to a std::string

*Concatenate the strings
std::string read_file( const std::filesystem::path & filename )
{
  std::ostringstream ss;
  std::ifstream f( filename );
  ss << f.rdbuf();
  return ss.str();
}

std::string s = read_file(...) + read_file(...);

*Steps 2 and 3 could be done at the same time
std::ostringstream ss;
std::ifstream f1(...);
std::ifstream f2(...);
ss << f1.rdbuf();
ss << f2.rdbuf();
std::string s = ss.str();

*Write the string to the new file the usual way:
std::ofstream f3(...);
f3 << s;

To concatenate two files on disk:
std::ifstream f1(...);
std::ifstream f2(...);
std::ofstream f3(...);
f3 << f1.rdbuf() << f2.rdbuf();

Compilers
You really should have a modern C++ compiler working with C++17 at the bare minimum language standard.
However, if there is some reason you are constrained to an ancient, pre-standard C++ compiler, you can still use it. I never learned Borland's pre-standard version of C++ file streams, so, alas, I cannot help much there. Read the documentation. It may not be possible to use the << operator to simply copy the stream buffer, but that is again just a read and write chars until EOF operation. You can make it into a little helper function taking both file objects by reference.


GLFR is designed to work 100% without network connection, so you can use it on even the most remote courses. However, as a complete download of all golf courses' course guides would take too much of the phone's memory, you need to download the course guides you want to use in advance. But as soon as you get the little "play" icon in the course guide, you're good to go.
Some people prefer not to be disturbed by emails, calls and text messages during the round, and therefore GLFR also works if you set your phone in Flight Mode. All the digital course data is stored locally on your phone after downloading the guide. Your scorecard is also stored on the phone and synchronized with the GLFR server as soon as it's reconnected. You can also use the built-in distance measurements in Flight Mode, as the GPS is not affected by it and does not require network connection. However, please note that it may take a little longer than usual to get your location if you have no network connection.

Dear Friends at Ramsar,
I write to you today because I am quite concerned about the fate of Ramsar's number 1,000 site in the Gulf of Fonseca in Honduras. I have just returned from helping implement a training workshop in the San Lorenzo area where we had intended to rehabilitate an abandoned, illicitly sited shrimp farm located within the Ramsar site. It had been abandoned for over a decade, and mangroves had already started to return to the site, so we had hoped to help the natural restoration along via our Community-Based Ecological Mangrove Restoration (CBEMR) approach.
We had given prior notice to the government of Honduras that we wished to use this site in our training workshop, asking for permission to restore an obviously disused shrimp farm, abandoned and non-productive. We listed the site location and mentioned it was part of the Ramsar site. We also gave the dates of our workshop, and thus gave plenty of advance notice of our plans.
When we arrived there at the site to look it over, we were stunned to see the bulldozer at work restoring instead the former two shrimp ponds, removing the mangrove vegetation once again. This was like a cold slap in the face of our stated intentions, but more so, it was a slap in the face of Ramsar by the government of Honduras, once again totally ignoring its stated commitment to the area as a Rasmsar site.
When we questioned the government officials at SERNA and ICF, we were wrongly told that the site had no mangroves present, but we have photos documenting that the site's mangroves were being bulldozed while we visited the site last week. The government's claims are thus refuted by our personal visit and the photos we took while there.
Needless to say, we had to find another site that was suitable to apply the CBEMR method, but luckily our local guides suggested a suitable site on Isle de Pajarros in the Gulf, which we did use to demonstrate mangrove restoration techniques utilizing the CBEMR approach.
What I am asking in this letter is can Ramsar take a more active role in stopping these kinds of open violations against Ramsar designated sites, such as what we witnessed firsthand near San Lorenzo? If not, shouldn't Ramsar de-list such a designated site because it is not in accord with stated Ramsar Convention intentions? This de-listing itself would at least show such governments that the Ramsar status must live up to its intended purpose.
Please do let me know if Ramsar will effectively intervene in this case. I attach the letter I wrote to government officials in Honduras and two photos of the site in question that show the current destruction of a segment of mangrove wetland.

Alfredo Quarto,

Debunking the Myth of Microsoft as the 'Evil Empire'
By Don Tennant, Posted June 21, 2016
George Santino talks about what it was really like on the inside of what many on the outside saw as the "Evil Empire."
Employee Engagement: The Strategic Priority of HR
Last week, I wrote about George Santino and his rags-to-riches story as a partner engineer at Microsoft, a story that's chronicled in his newly released book, "Get Back Up: From the Streets to Microsoft Suites." During his 20-year career at Microsoft, Santino gained a behind-the-scenes perspective of one of the most influential companies in history. In our recent interview, I was eager to get an account of what it was really like on the inside of what many on the outside saw as the "Evil Empire." What I learned is well worth recounting here.
https://o1.qnsr.com/log/p.gif?;n=203;c=204663295;s=11915;x=7936;f=201904081034270;u=j;z=TIMESTAMP;a=20410779;e=iI opened this portion of the interview by noting that I had interviewed Bill Gates in 1995, and that when I asked him for his thoughts on Netscape, he dismissed Netscape by famously saying, "A browser is a trivial piece of software." I asked Santino if he thinks the bravado that Gates was so well known for back in those days trickled down, and what impact his leadership style had within the company. Santino said a book could be written just on the answer to that question:
I remember one day, we were in a meeting with HR, and it was one of those training classes that you get in the corporate world from time to time, where HR meets with the employees, and they want to talk about personality traits. They were talking about a personality quadrant that's very aggressive, can be arrogant, can be loud, can be demanding.
And then they talked about a personality quadrant that's more empathetic and understanding, they want to know where you're coming from, and they're more personable. They said they were trying to get the managers more toward that quadrant. I raised my hand and asked, 'That top quadrant where you're saying you don't really want us—where's Bill?' They said, 'He's in that top quadrant, obviously.' What about Steve Ballmer? 'He's in that top quadrant, too.' Pete Higgins, Jim Allchin, all the very successful people at Microsoft were in the top quadrant. So I asked, 'Why do you want us down here, when success is up there?' They said, 'We're trying to change the culture of the company.' I said, 'That's great. When we stop rewarding that Type A behavior, then people might move down here [to the lower quadrant]. But as long as that's what's rewarded, that's the way we're going to behave.'
And that, Santino said, is exactly what Microsoft was — a company full of extremely strong personalities:
I remember I had an employee working for me who was extremely technical — knew his stuff inside and out. But you'd never know it, because in a meeting, he never got a word in edgewise. I had to sit him down and tell him, 'If you want to be heard in a meeting, you're going to have to interrupt somebody — you're going to have to be kind of rude, or you're not going to be heard here.' But he just didn't have that personality, and he wasn't successful, in spite of the fact that he was so good. So you had to be very self-confident and direct. You had to be willing to speak your mind in order to be successful at that company.
Now, the culture changed over the years, as we got older and got married and had kids. People started talking about work/life balance and that kind of stuff, so some of the edge came off. But in those early years, you gave that company your life. You worked hard, and you had to be a strong, Type A personality in order to succeed.
Santino went on to elaborate on just how the culture changed:
We all grew up with Bill — we were all about the same age, so those early guys grew up together. They were single guys, giving the company their life, eventually getting married and having children. And as Bill started to understand the need for work/life balance, that started to permeate throughout the organization.
The interesting part about that, however, is that it still was a company that rewarded results. And if you worked very efficiently, you could get results, and not have to live there. But the fact is, there still were people who worked extremely hard, got great results, but also put in extreme hours, so they got better results than other people.
The review system there is very competitive. Who's at the top of the stack, basically, are the people who are going to get the bonuses, the raises, the stock options, and that sort of thing. So the philosophy that if you weren't constantly in crunch mode you were in danger of losing your job, that was gone. No one was in danger of losing their job because it became a nine-to-five job for them, they were home for dinner, and they were watching their kids play soccer on the weekends. That was acceptable behavior.
However, you were still competing with these other people who were putting in the nights and the weekends. And when it came time to dole out that finite amount of rewards, it went to those people. So you understood the trade-off you were making. If you wanted to watch your kids play soccer on Saturday, fine, no problem. But if I'm there at work getting stuff done, chances are I'm going to get better rewards. You may say it's worth it, because you got to watch your kids play soccer. So you had to decide what trade-off is worth it to you.
I asked Santino which group he was in. I wasn't surprised when he said he was in the group that missed the soccer games:
My attitude was very simple: If I give this company my life, this company would change my life. I remember my wife saying to me once, 'All the dads here in the cul de sac are home in time for dinner, and you're always rolling in at eight or nine o'clock.' I said, 'You know what, Susan? In a few years from now, I'll be home for dinner, lunch, and breakfast, and those guys will still be getting home at five or six o'clock for dinner, hoping to God Social Security still exists when they retire.'
So you had to decide what's worth it, and I think I made the right choice. I went to some soccer games, not all of them. But that was a trade-off I was willing to make. Growing up where I grew up in the projects of South Philadelphia, extremely poor, and having the opportunity to truly build a successful career and a successful life for my family, to me, that was a sacrifice I was willing to make.
I asked Santino what he learned about Microsoft over the years that the outside world doesn't know. He said in reality, it was never an Evil Empire:
When I went there, I thought it was this big, mean, arrogant place that was out to destroy all its competitors. But when I got in there, I found it to be a very different place. This was a very close-knit family of people with a true desire to put software out there that was going to change the world.
Bill Gates would say, 'How will this software help people?' and other people had to say, 'Well, Bill, we also have to talk about the profitability of the software.' A lot of times for him, it was about what benefit it was going to create, before what profit it was going to create. I remember when the Justice Department was suing us, and saying, 'Did the Word people know what the Windows people were doing, so it's not fair to the WordPerfect people who don't have the same access to the Windows people?' We'd say, 'If they really knew what was going on here, they would not be suing us at all, because the Word people don't even talk to the Windows people! They have no idea what's going on with Windows!'
So the people on the inside were saying, 'They really thought we were that clever and colluding? We're not that smart, people!' The graphical user interface came from the Palo Alto Research Center — people said we stole it from Apple. Actually Apple stole it from PARC, and then we stole it from Apple. But once we came out with a graphical user interface, Bill quickly realized that without applications, this thing wasn't going to go anywhere.
We decided the only way Windows was going to be successful would be to write a word processor and a spreadsheet that worked on top of Windows. So when people said, 'That's not fair, because Word has all the market share,' that's because the other guys didn't see it coming. They didn't write a word processor that worked on Windows. We did. We had no choice. Bill said, 'Write it,' so we wrote it.
So the reason Word and Excel had the market share was because they were the only applications written for Windows. And by the time WordPerfect and Lotus saw the writing on the wall, it was kind of too late. It wasn't some big conspiracy to destroy these companies. It was just the right path to take. When I was in the company, I saw that. People outside the company thought the way I used to think, they're the Evil Empire, they're out to destroy the world! Not really true.


Maunder & Sons are a family run farm and country store established in 1890 and based in Launceston. The company recently decided to regenerate their entire site and Solgen were instructed to carry out an 130kWp solar array across three of the sites south facing roofs. The main store is conditioned by electric heaters which benefit from the on site generation, reducing its carbon footprint. Solgen also carried out the sites full electrical refurbishment giving the company one point of contact for the entire project.
We choose Solgen to carry out both our solar PV installation and full electrical refurbishment giving us one point of contact throughout the project. The team worked efficiently with no disruption to the running of our site. The array will help lower our carbon footprint and provide long term energy security for the business.

Q: Building a Pipline Model using allennlp I am pretty new to allennlp and I am struggling with building a model that does not seem to fit perfectly in the standard way of building model in allennlp.
I want to build a pipeline model using NLP. The pipeline consists basically of two models, let's call them A and B. First A is trained and based on the prediction of the full train A, B trained afterwards.
What I have seen is that people define two separate models, train both using the command line interface allennlp train ... in a shell script that looks like
# set a bunch of environment variables
...
allennlp train -s $OUTPUT_BASE_PATH_A --include-package MyModel --force $CONFIG_MODEL_A

# prepare environment variables for model b
...
allennlp train -s $OUTPUT_BASE_PATH_B --include-package MyModel --force $CONFIG_MODEL_B

I have two concerns about that:

*

*This code is hard to debug

*It's not very flexible. When I want to do a forward pass of the fully trained model I have write another script that bash script that does that.

Any ideas on how to do that in a better way?
I thought about using a python script instead of a shell script and invoke allennlp.commands.main(..) directly. Doing so at least you have a joint python module you can run using a debugger.

A: There are two possibilities.
If you're really just plugging the output of one model into the input of another, you could merge them together into one model and run it that way. You can do this with two already-trained models if you initialize the combined model with the two trained models using a from_file model. To do it at training time is a little harder, but not impossible. You would train the first model like you do now. For the second step, you train the combined model directly, with the inner first model's weights frozen.
The other thing you can do is use AllenNLP as a library, without the config files. We have a template up on GitHub that shows you how to do this. The basic insight is that everything you configure in one of the Jsonnet configuration files corresponds 1:1 to a Python class that you can use directly from Python. There is no requirement to use the configuration files. If you use AllenNLP this way, have much more flexibility, including chaining things together.

I'm fed up with cash. You land up with a purse full of small change making holes in your pockets. So making small purchases in a 'cashless' manner seemed a really good idea.
MasterCard, and several other issuers, are making a big thing about 'Tap and Pay' contactless cards. The idea is that for purchases up to £15 you simply tap the card on the reader - no need to enter your PIN - and the transaction is complete. For larger purchases you use your PIN in the usual way.
My bank does a debit card with this facility but I declined it because I don't want my bank statement cluttered up with a lot of small items. So it seemed an ideal solution when I discovered the Orange prepay cash card. With this, you add money to the card (in much the same way as topping up a mobile phone) and then the purchases are drawn from that. This means you only have to keep track of the transfers to the card, not each little purchase. An excellent idea (and incidentally you don't have to have an Orange mobile phone to use it).
Mastercard, who actually provide the service, and Orange push the idea that you can use it almost everywhere to save using cash. Unfortunately it turns out to be not as simple as that. The supermarkets will accept it, though I've only been able to use Tap and Pay in Boots and Waitrose: Sainsbury's doesn't have it, Iceland supposedly does though it wasn't working. Marks and Spencers do, though my food purchases there are usually well over £15.
But the very area where you most want to use it - small retailers - turns out to be useless. My local Londis wanted to add 75p to a £1.80 purchase for use of the card (and remember it's a debit card, not a credit card); my newsagent wanted to add 60p. The Russian delicatessen where I get my bread (I hate supermarket bread) won't allow use of a card below £5. The newsagent told me that she was charged by Mastercard for the use of the facility. I don't know whether this is true or these shops are just adding the charge because they don't want to be bothered with it.
So until this is sorted out this idea isn't going anywhere much. I still use the card in Sainsbury's and other shops where there isn't a charge, as even with the need to enter the PIN it saves using cash: but small retailers are effectively rendering the entire process useless and Mastercard need to get their act together.

Bay City, Michigan: Home of Madonna
Bay City, Michigan was once – quite reasonably – known as "Lower Saginaw," being located along the Saginaw River, in Saginaw County and south of its larger neighboring city, Saginaw. However, large ships ran into problems shipping to Saginaw due to its shallow shipping lanes. "Lower Saginaw" was blessed with deep waters and, thus, became a more reasonable location for the growth of the industry, much of which relied on shipping. "Lower Saginaw" outgrew its namesake and its name was changed to Bay City. It later became the most populous community in the county and the location of the county seat. Bay City has a population of approximately 34,424 residents and a median income of $35K.
During the mid-19th century, Bay City was a thriving trade center, owing to its deep shipping lanes and wealth of timber. Much of its industry, logically, was tied up in shipbuilding, milling, and lumber. Primarily because of these industries, Bay City enjoyed an economic boom in the mid-19th century. Enterprising industrialists amassed fortunes and constructed vast mansions, many of which are now historical monuments.
Madonna, often called the Queen of Pop, was born and raised in Bay City, MI. Her hit song, "This Used to be My Playground," was purportedly written after a visit to her childhood home. She is the recipient of over 200 awards and has been inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Despite these accolades and her global stardom, Bay City has not yet followed suit with the likes of Liverpool (home of The Beatles) and Tupelo, Mississippi (home of Elvis Presley) in advertising its homegrown musical talent. She once caused a local uproar by referring to her home town, albeit affectionately, as a "smelly little town in Northern Michigan." She followed up moments later, saying, "I have great affection for Bay City."
The words 'Bay City' might also bring to mind another musical act, Bay City Rollers. However, that group is not from Michigan, or even from the United States. They were a Scottish rock group, best known for the hit "Saturday Night," who picked their band's name by throwing a dart at a map. The dart landed right next to Bay City, and thus the name Bay City Rollers was born.
Bay City is well known in the area for its nearly year-round festivals, celebrating everything from boat racing (Bay City River Roar Races) and beer tasting (Apps & Ales) to Santa Clause (Santa's Arrival) and waterfalls (Friday at the Falls.) In particular, the Bay City Fourth of July Fireworks Festival attracts visitors from all over America and boasts a carnival atmosphere with food and fireworks from July 2-4th each year.
Boating is a popular activity in Bay City, owing to its location along the Saginaw River and on the Saginaw Bay coastline. It boasts the nation's largest freshwater wetland. Wetlands are fragile environments which support abundant plant and animal life and are easily disturbed by human interaction. Until the mid-20th century, the prevailing attitude in government was that wetlands needed "reclaiming." The state of Michigan, in particular, was changed intrinsically by this approach, with as much as 11 million acres of wetland (¾ of Michigan's original wetland area) destroyed. Though this "reclaim the wetlands" philosophy has gone out of vogue, the destruction and development of wetland areas continue on a smaller scale today.
Bay City, MI is a small town with a large personality. Shops, restaurants and pubs thrive in beautifully renovated 19th century buildings downtown. It is the home of Madonna and the namesake of Scotland's "Bay City Rollers." Whether you come for the historical buildings, vast wetlands, boating, water skiing, great food, and drink or one of its many yearly festivals, Bay City is a fun place to be!

NBLC was retained by the Region of Peel to undertake a study of incentives that may be utilized by the Region and lower tier municipalities to encourage residential and employment development in identified intensification areas. The purpose of the project was to explore options available to the Region to promote and encourage residential intensification in existing downtowns and other centres in order to meet or exceed the targets in the Growth Plan. NBLC also examined feasible approaches to incite employment intensification in the Regional Municipality of Peel.
NBLC developed a report that examined the policy, market and development issues that are barriers or that support medium and high-density developments. We also examined the planning tools that are currently in use in Ontario and their relative performances. As part of the study, NBLC also examined the barriers to intensification and key issues to help frame policy recommendations.
