Summer TV Rewind: Kyle XY 1.05: "This is Not a Test"
"If I'm stuck with a tutor all day I'll never learn what I need to. Why do people do what they do?"
- Kyle
This episode marks the halfway point for our journey with Kyle and the Tragers. Summer has ended and the new school year is just beginning. Kyle has finally been registered and he's more than eager to go and learn all kinds of new things. Lori and Josh are less thrilled. Oh and Steven and Nicole are looking forward to a little alone time while the kids are at school. There's really two different storylines in this episode. What happens at school and what happens at home with Foss. Because yes Tom Foss is back and being even creepier than usual. As soon as the family leaves the house for the day, he breaks in and is wandering around the house. He spends quite a bit of time in Kyle's room.
At school, Vice Principal Hooper is still being kind of a jerk about Kyle being at the school and getting a tutor. He needs to provide placement testing to even determine what a tutor could do with Kyle but our hero has wandered off. Josh ends up in remedial English where he is clearly there just because he was a slacker in middle school. But he makes kind of a bad impression on another student named Toby who clearly has reading difficulties (probably a kid who would have been in my mother's reading program). And Lori is still on the outs with Hilary. She wore the same shirt as Hilary and she is making Lori's life very uncomfortable because of it. She gets Lori in trouble during math class by passing notes and then snubs her in the cafeteria at lunch time and tosses soda on her shirt. It seems Hilary is still pissed at Lori calling her a slut at the party in the last episode. Kyle starts out the testing period expecting to be taught things or do math but he's given a history test. He clearly knows nothing and when the bell rings, he wanders out amongst the student body. Before ultimately heading to the cafeteria for lunch, he stops by Lori's math classroom and solves the complex equation on the board. It would seem Kyle is committing social suicide by sitting with the kid he is. But they are kind of bonding over drawing and comic books until Kyle admits he doesn't know much of anything. So his newfound friend introduces him to the library. Over the course of the rest of the school day Kyle learns everything there is to know about human history as Vice Principal Hooper combs the school (unsuccessfully) for him. Kyle has a rather unfortunate encounter with Amanda and Charlie in the library as he's absorbing all of the world's knowledge. Charlie picks up on the fact that Kyle doesn't seem to like him and even though Amanda assures him that she and Kyle are just friends, it doesn't stop her from going back to the library just to confirm that Kyle doesn't have feelings for her. One thing I've started to notice in the Kyle and Amanda scenes is that they seem to have a musical theme that plays in the background. It's a fairly common way to link emotional triggers with characters on TV. It seems that Lori's day is just getting worse. Declan catches up to her in the hallway and tries to ask her how she's doing but she kind of blows up at him, thinking he meant about their awkward sex and the aftermath at the party. She yells at him quite angrily until he says he was worried about her given how Hilary treated her during the day and Lori storms off rather embarrassed.
Back at home, Nicole gets home while Foss is still in the house and in order to avoid getting caught, he breaks a window in Kyle's room and then poses as a security guy patrolling the neighborhood. Steven is rightly skeptical of Foss's presence and even goes so far as to call the security company. They confirm that Foss is a new employee with an impressive military career and work in private security. So he's legit but he's still stalking them all. Fantastic. Steven and Nicole's midday rendezvous is interrupted by a call from the school about Kyle. Oh boy! It seems that in addition to allegedly ignoring the test, Kyle is not in a fight with the kid from Josh's English class. To be fair to Josh and Kyle, the other kid started it. But Kyle certainly finished it without throwing a single punch. The principal is all ready to kick him out of school (or rather deny him entrance) when Lori convinces her math teacher she knows who solved the problem. This of course leads to said teacher busting into the meeting and demanding that he be able to work with Kyle. Interestingly, they do allow Kyle to take all the placement tests even though there's only a half hour left in the testing period. This being Kyle he finishes with time to spare.
Lori and Declan manage to make up after her blow up and he even passes up coffee with Hilary and the girls to hang with Lori. They seem to be moving in the right direction at the very least. I have to say (having already seen the entire series) Declan really grows on you. He has some interesting plotlines coming up for sure and not in ways you might expect. With Kyle having passed the tests with perfect scores (did anyone doubt it?) Kyle says he doesn't want a tutor. He wants to go to class like everyone else. He figures that sure he knows facts and dates but he doesn't know why people act the way they do. That's what he really wants to learn. And it seems his comic book drawing friend sees him as something of a super hero. As the family settles in for the night, we see that Foss actually installed cameras in most of the rooms (even the bathroom…ew gross).

Here we have a band that is still relatively unknown in our Western countries. «Must Album» is in fact their third full length (but they already released two DVDs, three EPs and three demos). Even if this new work is quite different from what I heard many years ago on their previous productions unleashed through Ledo Takas records, there still seems to be a unique sound with this Estonian act that you don't find elsewhere. The first thing that struck me about Loits's new album is the fact that they don't really sound very black metal. The album starts with a kind Satyricon structure coupled with a huge nowadays (I mean rock 'n' roll / crust orientated sound) Darkthrone background and generally continues that way throughout. I must now have listened to this «Must Album» about seven times and I just can't make my mind about the 'new' Loits musical direction. Of course, it's absolutely not the heaviest album ever written but on the other side, it features some very good song-writing and almost enchanting melodies I've heard for many months. Generally, the mood here is heroic rather than grim and it's more than obvious that a lot of effort has been put into the creation of strange and different atmospheres. Nice and original.

Francisca [Doña Paca] Alarcon was a prominent early citizen of El Paso. Courtesy El Paso County Historical Society and included in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107.
ALARCON, FRANCISCA [DOÑA PACA] (1828?–1925). Francisca "Doña Paca" Alarcon, El Paso pioneer and landowner, was born in Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Mexico, probably in 1828. Her obituaries listed her birthdate as August 25, 1828, but her death certificate gave January 1828 as the time of her birth. She married Mexican banker Luis Faudoa, president of Banco Minero. They had one child, Francisco Faudoa. After Luis's death, Doña Paca emigrated to the United States. About 1857 she traveled by oxcart train with a group of thirty individuals and arrived in the present-day Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and El Paso, Texas, region. In 1861 she married William Conklin, superintendent of the stagecoach line between Texas and California. They had two daughters, Maria and Isabel. Doña Paca was widowed for a second time when Conklin died after being shot by an unknown attacker.
Using money she had inherited after Luis Faudoa's death, Doña Paca Alarcon purchased plots in El Paso in the area of South El Paso Street and West San Antonio Avenue, as well as a home on the corner of Santa Fe and San Francisco streets. Her wealth also garnered political influence. Family tradition holds that when her daughter Isabel's husband, George Look, ran for the alderman position in the old First Ward in Southwest El Paso, Alarcon purchased votes in his favor. The cost was three dollars in silver per ballot. El Paso newspaper features recalled that she opened her home to the growing city and hosted both the first Jesuit Mass and military balls for Fort Bliss soldiers in her living room. Several prominent El Pasoans, including army engineer and surveyor Anson Mills, rented rooms from her. And according to one rumor as written in the August 15, 1961, edition of the El Paso Herald-Post, she carried clandestine messages between the U.S. Army at Fort Bliss and Benito Juárez while he resided in Ciudad Juárez and challenged the French occupation of Mexico.
Alarcon considered aiding the less fortunate to be "Christ's religion." She practiced this doctrine by delivering food and clothing to her tenement residents, assisting the homeless during a flood, helping during a smallpox epidemic, and distributing gold coins. She also fed the poor on religious holidays and compelled her grandchildren to serve them as a lesson in humility. Local Catholic churches continued to receive yearly donations from Alarcon, even though she had been excommunicated for marrying Conklin, who was a Mason.
Throughout her life, Doña Paca Alarcon maintained her maiden name, although the Anglo population sometimes distorted it to "Grandmother Parker." El Paso's Golden Jubilee Exposition of 1923 honored her as one of El Paso's oldest longtime residents. Many of her descendants also lived in El Paso and were notable figures. Her granddaughter, Rita Faudoa (daughter of Francisco), was a health care worker in obstetrics and pediatrics for thirty-five years. Another granddaughter, Josephine Escontrias (daughter of Maria), married James C. Thornton in 1900; a local newspaper deemed their wedding a lavish affair. Francisca Doña Paca Alarcon passed away after a brief illness on November 6, 1925, in El Paso, Texas, and was buried in Concordia Cemetery.
El Paso Herald, May 12, 1923; November 7, 1925. El Paso Herald-Post, August 15, 1961. El Paso Times, September 17, 2000. Rita Faudoa, Interview by Sarah E. John, November 9, 10, 1978, Institute of Oral History, University of Texas at El Paso.

Mayor de Blasio's tight embrace of partnerships with private developers and managers as the start of a solution to the epic collapse of the New York City Housing Authority has the stink of flop sweat in front of a critic readying to pen a review that could well shut down a ghastly show.
The critic here is Manhattan Federal Judge William H. Pauley, who made plain last week in ripping up a consent decree NYCHA signed with federal prosecutors that the mayor had shown no appetite for making the necessary tough calls to dredge up $32 billion to keep hundreds of housing projects habitable.
Up against Pauley's Dec. 14 deadline for a Plan B — after the judge not so subtly noted that U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has the power to seek receivership — de Blasio didn't just get religion; he converted to what had been apostasy.
On Monday he announced a vast expansion of private management, to 62,000 out of the authority's 179,000 apartments, under HUD's Rental Assistance Demonstration program, which enables borrowing to fund repairs. Bravo for the breakthrough — but booooo for prolonging tenants' suffering by heretofore taking politically safe baby steps while fruitlessly preaching that the feds must pay up.
"Dangerous," de Blasio as public advocate sneered about NYCHA raising funds via market-rate development. His diluted alternative has generated not a penny since.
Pauley must decide whether de Blasio has the stomach to be trusted with NYCHA turnaround. A tragic record of timidity argues powerfully for a receiver to take his place.

Two in, one out for Bury
Bury have signed midfielder Peter Sweeney from Grimsby and also captured left back Joe Skarz from Huddersfield Town.
Shakers boss Alan Knill
But heading out of Gigg Lane is Tom Newey, who has signed a two-year contract with Rotherham.
New boy Skarz, 20, joined Huddersfield as an eight-year-old and progressed through the ranks.
He made his first team debut in November, 2006, and remained in the team for the rest of that season.
Skarz went on to make 71 starts for Huddersfield with a further 10 as substitute and he scored one goal.
At the end of 2007/8 he was awarded a three-year contract. The terms of the transfer to Bury are undisclosed.
Sweeney, 26, joins the Shakers after having his contract cancelled by Grimsby.
The midfielder joined the Mariners after a loan spell from Leeds United and made 43 appearances and scored six goals in 2009/10.
He was one of seven players who were told they could leave Blundell Park after the Mariners' were relegated from the Football League.

So, the process is secure. Also, we don't share more data than we need to for the purpose of creating the audience.
-Custom audience– A custom audience is a list of existing users of our service ("Existing Users"). From time to time, we share this with Platforms. As explained above, the data is first hashed and pseudonymised. The Platform uses this audience to show our Existing Users our adverts for Other Products.
-Lookalike/similar audience– A lookalike/similar audience is an audience created by the Platform. From time to time, we share with Platforms a list of Existing Users. The Platform uses this list to find and create lookalikes – i.e. other Platform users who have similar characteristics to the Existing Users – to which it shows our adverts. Again, as explained above, the data is first hashed and pseudonymised.
Receiving data from Suppliers. From time to time, Suppliers may return data to us. They may do this if they have a query regarding a request for quotes that we have sent to them in order to enable us to resolve the query. They may also return data to us, together with confirmation on whether or not a product has been purchased, in order to enable us to improve our marketing. We may also use such data to create custom and lookalike/similar audiences, as explained above.

Lawan: Orji Kalu was my roommate in the university
by News Agency  0 Comments
Senate President Ahmad Lawan has disclosed that Orji Uzor-Kalu, senator representing Abia north, was his roommate at the University of Maiduguri in 1980.
The Abia senator disclosed this when he hosted some federal lawmakers, including Ovie Omo-Agege, deputy senate president, to a dinner at his Abuja residence.
The senate president thanked Kalu for organising the dinner and pledged that under him, senators would unite across party lines.
"The Nigerian project is a project of the Nigerian people and not a political party's project and everybody must ensure that it works," he said.
"In the 9th senate, we are going to work together and we will distribute functions across party lines."
Ken Nnamani, a former senate president, who said the presiding officers of the new senate were elected in a transparent manner, described the upper legislative chamber as "an assembly of elders".
Nnamani, who congratulated Lawan and Omo-Agege, said the nation's interest, rather than party's interest, must prevail at all times at the assembly.
"Nigerians are looking forward to a different outcome this time around because of the way you were elected," he said.
"If President Muhammadu Buhari succeeds, you have succeeded yourselves. Therefore, there is no more excuse," he said.
Earlier in his welcome remark, Kalu said the occasion was for the celebration of victory.
"No motion is going to be moved here and no motion is going to be seconded here. All we are here for is to eat and drink," he said.

Solon: ₱50-M SEA Games cauldron only 'excessive' if used 'one-time, big-time'

FILE PHOTO. The 3-meter wide cauldron, designed by National Artist for Architecture Francisco "Bobby" Manosa, will hold the SEA games flame for the duration of the sports event.
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 20) — A party-list lawmaker on Wednesday defended the controversial P50-million Southeast Asian Games cauldron, saying it is "excessive" if only used for the upcoming regional meet.
"When you look at the cauldron, one thing to understand is that the cauldron will not be a one-time, big-time thing. [Otherwise,] that would be absolutely excessive," PBA Party-list Representative Jericho Nograles told CNN Philippines' The Source.
While Nograles was "surprised" with the fund spent for the cauldron, he defended it, saying it is "necessary."
"With the works, with the design work, with the cost to actually operate it, that was really staggering amount. However it is necessary. Every single event has a cauldron like that," the lawmaker said.
"We want as a nation to compete with the world when it comes to sports venues," he also said.
The 3-meter wide cauldron, designed by National Artist for Architecture Francisco "Bobby" Manosa, will hold the SEA games flame for the duration of the sports event. The country spent ₱4.4 million for its design, ₱13.4 million for the foundation, and ₱32 million for its construction.
Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon had called out the construction of the 50-meter cauldron right beside the newly-built New Clark City Athletics Stadium, questioning if the expense was "appropriate." House Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano, who chairs the Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee, defended the price tag and said the cauldron is a "work of art."

Nograles also defended the government against critics saying the budget for the cauldron should have been given to Filipino athletes struggling to request funds.
"We support our athletes in billions of pesos on a yearly basis and it is not just for one event, but for multiple events, for multiple people," he said.
CNN Philippines' Multi-Platform Writer Melissa Lopez contributed to this report.

30 Apr. 2017 | by Peter Wong
The Norman Macleod Award, organised by the British Chess Problem Society, is bestowed on the most striking and original problem of any genre published in The Problemist over a two-year period. Given its emphasis on novelty, perhaps it's not surprising that the Award had never been won by any two-movers, the most highly investigated of all genres. However, in the recently announced Award for the 2014-15 period, the Slovakian Grandmaster Peter Gvozdjak has managed to break the trend, by gaining first place with a brilliant two-mover. His problem realises for the first time a theme described as "fourfold cyclic shift in threat form" – a complex type of changed play. Before analysing it, though, I should provide an example of a two-mover showing the more standard form of cyclic shift.
Michel Caillaud
The Problemist 1981, 2nd Commendation
Mate in 2
A cyclic shift of mates is a kind of extension of the reciprocal change scheme. The latter involves set or try play where the defences 1…a and 1…b are answered by 2.A and 2.B respectively, but after the key, the white moves are switched: 1…a 2.B and 1…b 2.A (example: No.10). The two elements of play that get exchanged here – a pair of white mates – are increased to three or more elements in a cyclic shift to generate this "circular" pattern: 1…a 2.A, 1…b 2.B, 1…c 2.C in the set or try play, becoming 1…a 2.B, 1…b 2.C, 1…c 2.A in the actual play. This difficult idea, also called the Lacny theme, is accomplished very economically in the problem above. The try 1.Rh4? (waiting) prepares to attack f4 if Black moves the knight and also to pin the piece if the king takes the flight: 1…S~ [a] 2.Sh7 [A], 1…Kf4 [b] 2.Be3 [B], 1…B~ [c] 2.Qxg4 [C], but 1…Be6! defeats the try. The key 1.Rf7! (waiting) again aims for f4 but exploits the black bishop's position instead, and the rook also covers f6 while unguarding h6. Now we see three changed variations where the same mates reappear but are shifted to other defences: 1…S~ [a] 2.Be3 [B], 1…Kf4 [b] 2.Qxg4 [C], 1…B~ [c] 2.Sh7 [A].
Peter Gvozdjak
Norman Macleod Award 2014-15
The Award winner demonstrates a fourfold cyclic shift as it contains a similar pattern but with four thematic defences and mates. Such a scheme is rarer but not new; what's new is the form of that cyclic play, viz. the four mating moves are multiple threats, which are then separated or uniquely forced by the four defences. In the initial position, the g2-bishop and a5-rook are both controlling a potential flight on d5. Each of these line-pieces is cut off in turn by the d4-knight with the try 1.Sf3? and key 1.Sb5! Both knight moves create these four threats: 2.Qg8/Sxb2/Qd4/Qc3. The four thematic defences all take place on f3 and b5 – the same squares visited by the white knight – so that Black either (1) closes the remaining white line of guard to d5 or (2) captures the knight and removes its control of d4. All of these strategic effects – and more! – are designed to make each black defence foil exactly three of the four threats while leaving the fourth viable. Thus the try 1.Sf3? gives 1…Sb5 [a] 2.Qg8 [A], 1…Qxf3 [b] 2.Sxb2 [B], 1…Rb5 [c] 2.Qd4 [C], 1…Sxf3 [d] 2.Qc3 [D], but 1…Rxd1! refutes. Among the many dual avoidance effects, note for instance how 1…Sxf3 pins the d1-knight and prevents 2.Sxb2.

Takeuchi hires Clayton Whitesides as Central Midwest regional manager
Effective February 22, 2021, Whitesides will manage all sales development and activity in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and west Texas.
"Clayton's previous industry experience managing a multi-state dealer network has prepared him well for his new role with Takeuchi," says Henry Lawson, director of sales for Takeuchi-US. "He's worked with dealers in all aspects of their businesses, performed competitive analyses and established sales goals. We welcome Clayton to the Takeuchi family, and we look forward to his contributions in the Central Midwest region."
As a regional manager for Takeuchi, Whitesides' primary focus will be achieving market share objectives in that region through numerous dealer activities, such as development, recruiting, goal setting, sales planning and performance evaluations. He will also be responsible for inventory control, program promotion and communication, forecasting and national and direct rental account support.
Whitesides comes to Takeuchi from Doosan Infracore North America, where he began his equipment industry career as an inside sales coordinator. From there, he became a district sales manager responsible for a six-state dealer network comprised of eight independent dealerships with 14 locations.
"Over the past six years, I've trained and supervised staff while planning and implementing sales strategies," says Whitesides. "I'm excited to put my proven track record to work for Takeuchi and collaborate with dealers in my territory to effectively promote, sell and service Takeuchi's top-quality equipment."

Q: What is the Base Address Register (BAR) in PCIe? After going through some basics documents what I understood is, Base Address Register is Address space which can be accessed by PCIe IP. PCIe IP can either transmit data in Base Address Register or it can write received data on to it.
Am I right? Or missing anything?

A: Linux kernel point of view
A good way to learn something is to interact with it, so let's use the Linux kernel for that.
Here is a minimal PCI example on a QEMU emulated device: https://github.com/cirosantilli/linux-kernel-module-cheat/blob/366b1c1af269f56d6a7e6464f2862ba2bc368062/kernel_module/pci.c
The first 64 bytes of the PCI configuration are standardized as:

Image from LDD3.
So we can see that there are 6 BARs. The wiki page then shows the contents of each BAR:

The region width requires a magic write however: How is a PCI / PCIe BAR size determined?
This memory is setup by the PCI device, and gives information to the kernel.
Each BAR corresponds to an address range that serves as a separate communication channel to the PCI device.
The length of each region is defined by the hardware, and communicated to software via the configuration registers.
Each region also has further hardware defined properties besides length, notably the memory type:

*

*IORESOURCE_IO: must be accessed with inX and outX

*IORESOURCE_MEM: must be accessed with ioreadX and iowriteX
Several Linux kernel PCI functions take the BAR as a parameter to identify which communication channel is to be used, e.g.:
mmio = pci_iomap(pdev, BAR, pci_resource_len(pdev, BAR));
pci_resource_flags(dev, BAR);
pci_resource_start(pdev, BAR);
pci_resource_end(pdev, BAR);

By looking into the QEMU device source code, we see that QEMU devices register those regions with:
memory_region_init_io(&edu->mmio, OBJECT(edu), &edu_mmio_ops, edu,
                "edu-mmio", 1 << 20);
pci_register_bar(pdev, 0, PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_MEMORY, &edu->mmio);

and it is clear that properties of the BAR are hardware defined, e.g. the BAR number 0, has type memory PCI_BASE_ADDRESS_SPACE_MEMORY, and the memory region is 1MiB long 1 << 20.
See also: http://wiki.osdev.org/PCI#Base_Address_Registers of course.

A: Roughly speaking, the root-complex (aka the host computer) acts as the "dealer" and talks to each end-point device in a process called enumeration, where each device has its own set of configuration registers.  It does this access using configuration space, rather than normal memory space.  memory space for the pci device doesn't exist until the bar registers are setup and mapped by the root complex.
Using configuration space, the root-complex sequentially writes all 1's the bar register, in each PCI device, and read them back to determine the size of the bar address space assigned to each device.  If the root complex sees zeros in the lower order bits above bit 4, this means that these are addressable space, then it picks a physical memory address and assigned it to the non-zero bits in the bar register...
For PCIe device with 32-bit bars the configuration space has the following 32-bit DWORDS:
    UInt32 PCIEBAR32_0, PCIEBAR32_1, PCIEBAR32_2,
       PCIEBAR32_3, PCIEBAR32_4, PCIEBAR32_5;
    bool cond32_0 = (PCIeBAR32_0 & 0x7) == 0x00);
    bool cond32_1 = (PCIeBAR32_1 & 0x7) == 0x00);
    bool cond32_2 = (PCIeBAR32_2 & 0x7) == 0x00);
    bool cond32_3 = (PCIeBAR32_3 & 0x7) == 0x00);
    bool cond32_4 = (PCIeBAR32_4 & 0x7) == 0x00);
    bool cond32_5 = (PCIeBAR32_5 & 0x7) == 0x00);

For PCIe device with 64-bit bars, the two adjacent 32-bit DWORDS are concatenated to form a 64-bit bar:
    UInt64 PCIEBAR64_0, PCIEBAR64_1, PCIEBAR64_2;
    bool cond64_0 = (PCIEBAR32_0 & 0x7) == 0x4);
    bool cond64_1 = (PCIEBAR32_2 & 0x7) == 0x4);
    bool cond64_2 = (PCIEBAR32_4 & 0x7) == 0x4);
    if (!(cond64_0 && cond64_1 && cond64_2)) {
        Console.Writeline("Whoops, we don't have 3 adjacent 64-bit bars");
        return -1;
    }
    PCIEBAR64_0 =  (UInt64)PCIEBAR32_1<<32 | (UInt64)PCIEBAR32_0;
    PCIEBAR64_1 =  (UInt64)PCIEBAR32_3<<32 | (UInt64)PCIEBAR32_2;
    PCIEBAR64_2 =  (UInt64)PCIEBAR32_5<<32 | (UInt64)PCIEBAR32_4;
    //note that since lower 4-bits of Least significant
    //bar indicate its a 64-bit bar, this means the
    //next adjacent 32-bit bar doesn't knockout
    //the bottom 4-bits of the bar. so that it can be concatenated.

Not really sure what happens for a system with a mix of 32-bit, and 64-bit bars... maybe you need to check the bars in order from 0 to 5 to find non-aligned cases...

A: I think this is a very basic question and I would suggest to read:

*

*PCI Express Base 3.1 Specification (pcisig.com) or

*PCI Express Technology 3.0 (MindShare Press) book

A Base Address Register (BAR) is used to:
- specify how much memory a device wants to be mapped into main memory, and
- after device enumeration, it holds the (base) address, where the mapped memory block begins.
A device can have up to six 32-bit BARs or combine two BARs to a 64-bit BAR.

A: BAR is record of the device address starting at memory.

0xfff equals to 4095, which is 4K. Memory starts at 0xf3021000 is this USB device seen by CPU. This address is init during BIOS and in this example it is on BAR0. Why is BAR0?
Before that, one need to understand PCI spec, especially the below, type 0 and type 1:

Notice the header type is both defined at 0x0c third field, that is how BARs differ. In this example, it is 00, which means it is type 0. Thus BAR0 stores the address, which is 00 10 02 f3.
One may wonder why this is not exactly f3021000, this is because lspci goes with Little Endian. What is Endian? One may need to read "Gulliver's Travels".
BAR0 generally has three states, uninitialized, all 1s, and written address. And we now in the third since the device already init. Bit 11 ~ 4 is set to 0 at uninitialized state; Bit 3 means NP when set to 0, P when set to 1; Bit 2 ~ 1 means 32 bit when set to 00, 64 bit when set to 10; Bit 0 means memory request when set to 0, IO request when set to 1.
0xf3021000
====>>>>
11110011000000100001000000000000

From this, we can know this device is 32-bit, non-prefetchable, memory request. The uninitialized address is 32 ~ 12, since 2 ^ 12 = 4K.

El chhurpi (Nepalès: छुर्पी) és un formatge fumat sec consumit a l'est de l'Himalaya. Els sherpas l'anomenen sherkam, i a Bhutan durukowa o durukho (en dzongkha).

Preparació
El chhurpi es fa amb llet de yak o chauri (un híbrid de yak i vaca). Tots dos tipus són durs. Es preparen a làctiques locals o a casa a partir d'un material extret del sèrum de mantega anomenat sergem, que s'embolica en tela, normalment borses de jute, i es premsa per eliminar l'aigua. Després es deixa assecar, obtenint un producte semblant al formatge, que es talla i es penja per fumar-lo i endurir-lo.

Consum
El chhurpi bla es pot consumir de diverses maneres;amb verdures verdes com a plats salats, com a farciment de momos, triturat amb tomàquets per a fer xutney i com a sopa. A les regions muntanyenques del Nepal, els pujols de Darjeeling, Sikkim, Bhutan i el Tibet, el chhurpi es consumeix com a substitut de les verdures perquè és una excel·lent font de proteïnes.

El chhurpi dur es consumeix generalment mantenint-lo a la boca per humitejar-lo per que algunes parts es tornen toves i, després, mastegant-lo com un xiclet. D'aquesta manera, un bloc de chhurpi pot durar fins a dues hores. El seu alt contingut en proteïnes i la seva acidesa el converteixen en un excel·lent regal per als gossos, cosa que explica la seva gran demanda als mercats mundials com mastegadors per gossos.

'It's critically vital': Staff who cannot work at home urged to get Covid test
Staff who cannot work from home being urged to get Covid test
By Matthew Critchell @MattC_Echo Reporter
Here's where you can get a test if you cannot work from home
Thurrock Council is urging all those who are still attending a workplace to get a free COVID-19 test as soon as possible, even if they do not have any symptoms.
Testing kits are available at East Tilbury library, Chadwell library and Belhus library. Testing for those without symptoms will also be available at drive through test sites in Corringham, Tilbury and Grays.
Rob Gledhill, Leader of Thurrock Council, said: "With rates of coronavirus in Thurrock remaining some of the highest in the country, COVID-19 testing is now being made available to all those who still cannot work from home.
"As many as 1 in 3 people who have the virus do not display any symptoms, so it's critically important that those who are still out in our communities and unable to work from home get a test as soon as possible. This way, we can help to lower the spread of the virus in our borough as those who test positive can immediately self-isolate and not continue to unwittingly pass the virus to those they come into contact with.
"Along with increased testing, the best tool we have to combat the spread of this new, far more infectious strain of COVID-19 is to continue to follow the government guidance to 'stay at home' and only leave the house if absolutely essential. Everyone must take great care if they do leave their house to keep a full 2 metres from every other person, wear a face covering where required to do so and wash their hands very often.
"People should always immediately self-isolate if they get any symptoms of COVID-19, are told to do so by NHS Test and Trace, or have received a positive test result."
East Tilbury, Chadwell and Belhus libraries will be open to pick up and drop off tests from 8am to 7pm on weekdays and 9am to 4pm at weekends. These libraries will only be open for this purpose and no library services will be available, such as the return of books or use of computers.
You do not need to make an appointment to pick up a test kit or to drop it back at the libraries. For the drive through test centres, you need to book an appointment online.

Honey, I hope I am doing well, do you think i am doing pretty well? Tell me the truth, please! I really love how you appreciate all my prepared meals, kahit na minsan paulit-ulit na sya.. I love seeing you everyday as I open and close my eyes, I love greeting you home with a warm hug and kisses, I love seeing you eating my cooked meals, strolling for grocery for 2 hours, I love the way we laugh at each other's joke/stories/etc (never a day passed without any laughing – comedian ata napang asawa ko eh.. Hihi), I love starring and resting my head on your arms kahit na ngalay ka na sa bigat ng ulo ko, I love the feeling of security and contentment but the best part and most important is I love thanking God everyday for you and that never changed nor forgotten even if it is our 76 months together, even more I needed to thank God for everything. I loveyou honey and I will love you for the rest of our lives.
Happy 4th Wedding Monthsary Honey!


Home composting can be fun, productive and is a safe, easy and free way to help the Isle of Wight. By taking out your compostable items, such as egg shells, tea bags, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable peelings and putting them in a composting bin – which are easy to make, or if you prefer, quite cheap to buy from places such as Hursts and B&Q – you can personally have a positive impact on both your garden plants and in reducing the landfill.
The compost can be used on your garden in your flower beds, on your vegetable patch, in your flower boxes and hanging baskets.
We would suggest that you don't stand your compost bin on a concrete surface as there is usually a liquid run-off that can attract flies. If you suspect that rats may be using your compost bin as a food store, make sure that you aren't putting any cooked foods into the bin, and give the compost a 'turn' every day this is simply where you stick a fork in and turn over the compost – rats do not like disturbance and will hopefully get put off.
If you don't have a garden, you can still do your bit by getting a green bucket from Amey. These are collected every week as part of the kerbside collection scheme.

Q: It's possible to export only a portion of the values of a datatable column? I have a datatable with a button to export its data to a pdf file using pdfmake. So far so good until I received the request to add one more value to one of the columns (and this value should not appear in the exported data). The column I'm having this problem has the following composition:
{{client.lot}}

{{client.lot.total_negotiations}} client(s) negotiating!

(Ok, I know this is not the best way to split all cells of the column into two rows)
What I'm trying to do is to export the data only with the "first row" (before the
 tag). How can I accomplish this? There's any workaround adjusting the table or the pdf?

A: You can use the exportOptions.format() function provided by DataTables to do this.
For example, assuming we start with the following table data (where there are 2 cells containing data which needs to be formatted):

Then the resulting PDF will look as follows:

The DataTables configuration for this is:
$(document).ready(function() {

  $('#example').DataTable( {

    "dom": 'B<"clear">lfrtip',

    buttons: [{
      extend: 'pdf',
      text: 'Save as PDF',
      exportOptions: {
        modifier: {
          page: 'current'
        },
        format: {
          body: function ( data, rowIdx, colIdx ) {
            if (colIdx == 1) {
              var brIdx = data.indexOf("
");
              if (brIdx >= 0) {
                return data.substring(0, brIdx);
              } else {
                return data;
              }
            } else {
              return data;
            }
          }
        }

      }

    }]

  } );

} );

This uses a function to inspect the contents of each cell. In my case, I ignore any data which is not in column index 1 (the 2nd column in the table).
For each cell of data in this column, I check for the existence of a
 tag in the data. If one exists, then all data from this tag to the end of the string is discarded.
All other cells in all other columns are passed through to the PDF unchanged.
You may need to adjust this, depending on your specific needs (e.g. if you need to handle multiple columns, maybe to clean up that trailing hyphen in "Lote 14 -", etc.).
You may want move the export logic to its own separate function, as well, and then call that function from the DataTable config instead (so the logic does not clutter the DataTable configuration code).
Background information on this export function can be found here: exportData - specifically, see the format section on that page. This is the general buttons function used by the exportOptions configuration in the above example.

A competent debut from an up-and-coming author.
by Jayci Lee ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 4, 2020
An executive needs a wife to gain his grandmother's blessing to become CEO of the family business.
Garrett Song is one step away from achieving his lifelong dream of heading his family's Los Angeles fashion empire. Shocked at his grandmother's announcement that she's chosen a Korean heiress for him to marry and that he must marry her if he wants to be promoted, Garrett lies and tells her that he's already engaged. Garrett has given his entire life to the company, but he refuses to let his family dictate whom he'll marry, even if the marriage would allow the Songs to enter into the jae-bul, the wealthy, entitled echelon of Korean society. Enter Natalie Sobol, an up-and-coming HR professional in his firm. Natalie is attempting to gain custody of her 6-month-old niece after her sister and brother-in-law died in a car accident. When Garrett asks Natalie to agree to a fake marriage to thwart his grandmother's plan, Natalie realizes the appearance of being happily married might sway the court to rule in her favor. Lee's debut novel succeeds as a category romance (belonging to the branded lines of shorter Harlequin romances published every month), as the book is jammed with popular romance tropes such as familial duty, fake engagement, and corporate espionage. Natalie and Garrett are likable characters who want to achieve their goals on their own terms, and when they team up as husband and wife, they discover they make each other stronger both professionally and personally. It's especially poignant that Natalie, who is mostly unfamiliar with her own Korean heritage, mends the discord between Garrett and his old-fashioned grandmother. Some of the plot twists seem contrived or underdeveloped, and Natalie's urgency to adopt her niece doesn't feel convincing since the baby spends most of the time off-page with the grandparents who also want custody. Nevertheless, it's a quick, enjoyable read.

IndieBound Bestseller
by Colleen Hoover ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 2, 2016
Hoover's (November 9, 2015, etc.) latest tackles the difficult subject of domestic violence with romantic tenderness and emotional heft.
At first glance, the couple is edgy but cute: Lily Bloom runs a flower shop for people who hate flowers; Ryle Kincaid is a surgeon who says he never wants to get married or have kids. They meet on a rooftop in Boston on the night Ryle loses a patient and Lily attends her abusive father's funeral. The provocative opening takes a dark turn when Lily receives a warning about Ryle's intentions from his sister, who becomes Lily's employee and close friend. Lily swears she'll never end up in another abusive home, but when Ryle starts to show all the same warning signs that her mother ignored, Lily learns just how hard it is to say goodbye. When Ryle is not in the throes of a jealous rage, his redeeming qualities return, and Lily can justify his behavior: "I think we needed what happened on the stairwell to happen so that I would know his past and we'd be able to work on it together," she tells herself. Lily marries Ryle hoping the good will outweigh the bad, and the mother-daughter dynamics evolve beautifully as Lily reflects on her childhood with fresh eyes. Diary entries fancifully addressed to TV host Ellen DeGeneres serve as flashbacks to Lily's teenage years, when she met her first love, Atlas Corrigan, a homeless boy she found squatting in a neighbor's house. When Atlas turns up in Boston, now a successful chef, he begs Lily to leave Ryle. Despite the better option right in front of her, an unexpected complication forces Lily to cut ties with Atlas, confront Ryle, and try to end the cycle of abuse before it's too late. The relationships are portrayed with compassion and honesty, and the author's note at the end that explains Hoover's personal connection to the subject matter is a must-read.
Packed with riveting drama and painful truths, this book powerfully illustrates the devastation of abuse—and the strength of the survivors.

THE UNHONEYMOONERS
by Christina Lauren ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 14, 2019
An unlucky woman finally gets lucky in love on an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii.
From getting her hand stuck in a claw machine at age 6 to losing her job, Olive Torres has never felt that luck was on her side. But her fortune changes when she scores a free vacation after her identical twin sister and new brother-in-law get food poisoning at their wedding buffet and are too sick to go on their honeymoon. The only catch is that she'll have to share the honeymoon suite with her least favorite person—Ethan Thomas, the brother of the groom. To make matters worse, Olive's new boss and Ethan's ex-girlfriend show up in Hawaii, forcing them both to pretend to be newlyweds so they don't blow their cover, as their all-inclusive vacation package is nontransferable and in her sister's name. Plus, Ethan really wants to save face in front of his ex. The story is told almost exclusively from Olive's point of view, filtering all communication through her cynical lens until Ethan can win her over (and finally have his say in the epilogue). To get to the happily-ever-after, Ethan doesn't have to prove to Olive that he can be a better man, only that he was never the jerk she thought he was—for instance, when she thought he was judging her for eating cheese curds, maybe he was actually thinking of asking her out. Blending witty banter with healthy adult communication, the fake newlyweds have real chemistry as they talk it out over snorkeling trips, couples massages, and a few too many tropical drinks to get to the truth—that they're crazy about each other.
Heartfelt and funny, this enemies-to-lovers romance shows that the best things in life are all-inclusive and nontransferable as well as free.

Over Aphex Twin
Aphex Twin follows Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Describing his music becomes a web of contradictions. For every violent and vitriolic "Come to Daddy," there is an absurd children's song such as "Milkman." For every acid anthem ("Digeridoo"), there is a frazzled complex of rhythms ("INKEY$"). For every surging, grinning dance track such as "Donkey Rhubarb," there is the near stillness of "Weathered Stone" or "Parallel Stripes."

Aphex Twin follows Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Describing his music becomes a web of contradictions. For every violent and vitriolic "Come to Daddy," there is an absurd children's song such as "Milkman." For every acid anthem ("Digeridoo"), there is a frazzled complex of rhythms ("INKEY$"). For every surging, grinning dance track such as "Donkey Rhubarb," there is the near stillness of "Weathered Stone" or "Parallel Stripes." A track-by-track breakdown may not equate a balance of yin and yang, but throughout his career as Aphex Twin, AFX, Caustic Window, Polygon Window, the Dice Man and countless other pseudonyms, Richard D. James has created what is perhaps the widest spectrum of electronic sound by a single artist.

Kim Jong-un Does what Kim Jong-do
True to form, North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un has responded to the most recent United Nations' sanctions against his country by engaging in precisely the behavior which led to the sanctions.

By Aaron Simms
Earlier this week, the U.N. Security Council unanimously passed a new round of sanctions against North Korea, designed to put increased economic pressure on the pariah state in the hopes of forcing it to cease its nuclear and missile tests (the article from The Resurgent is here).
In response, Kim today launched a ballistic missile over Japan and into the northern Pacific Ocean. This is the furthest a North Korean missile has traveled, achieving a range of 2,300 miles and a height of 478 miles. It is initially believed to be a "Hwasong-12" type intermediate range missile. North Korea's capability means that the U.S. territory of Guam is now within range of its weapons.
The United States and its allies are even now deciding how to respond. The U.S. and Japan have condemned North Korea. South Korea launched its own missile drill to demonstrate its resolve. The U.N. Security Council is meeting this afternoon to decide what to do next.
According to analysts, North Korea's intent with these missile launches is the following:
Have the international community accept North Korea's influence over a wider geographical sphere (that is, if other countries tacitly accept overflights of Japan, then North Korea will be emboldened to continue).
Put pressure on the U.S. by being able to target Guam; the goal is to get the U.S. to remove its troops from South Korea
Weaken Japan and South Korea's trust in the United States as an ally. That is, will the U.S. risk a nuclear war to protect its allies? Ask Ukraine.
Test the atmospheric re-entry capabilities of its missiles to ensure that a nuclear warhead could survive the launch and re-entry to hit its intended target.
Continue to build out its land-based and sea-based ballistic missile capability.
If past history is any clue, the U.N. Security Council will adopt additional sanctions this evening and then Kim Jong-un will respond with more weapons tests.

Oddisee Asks the Tough Questions For "Like Really" Performance Video
Lindsey India
COLORS BERLIN via YouTube
Oddisee has been putting out incredible music for years, and his latest video proves why you should open your eyes if you haven't already. The Washington, D.C. rapper recently teamed up with the Colors platform to perform for their Colors Show series, giving him a chance to show off his bars and intellect with his "Like Really" record.
Backed by a band featuring a guitarist, drummer, and keyboardist who provide a laidback jazz vibe for the instrumental, Oddisee comes in to ask some tough questions about the state of the country today and race relations. The MC spits, "How do you police the streets of a neighborhood you do not engage in?/Why a brother get three for a sack, and your brother go free for a rapin'?" The 32-year-old rapper continues to show his bewildered attitude towards the dealings of the system before letting the band break out into solos while he lays down some soulful vocals.
"Like Really" is featured on Oddisee's The Iceberg album, which released to all streaming platforms earlier this year. In the past, he has released eleven different albums, along with tons of different mixtapes and EPs. Check out Oddisee's performance of "Like Really" below.
