Q: Deploying Azure Resources Across Environments Using Azure DevOps I created a resource group and various resources inside it. In Resources I have ADF & Pipelines, SQL Server, DBs & Objects, Logics Apps, AAS Models, Storage Accounts etc.
Now I want to check-in all my information into source control for versioning. I have Azure Devops as well. My need is that I want to deploy the resources and objects into another environment.
e.g I have a dev environment. I created all resources in a resource group. I did not use any template or source control while building this environment. I got Azure DevOps now. Now I want to built the test set up from the dev environment. How do I achieve this?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

A: You can first export the Template from your Azure resource group portal. See below:
1, Go to Azure Resource Group portal-->Click Export template under Automation-->Download

You can also use Az cli/Azure powershell to export the template. See example commands here
Please check the documents here to learn more about how to manage your azure resource using ARM Template.
2, Sync the ARM template downloaded in above step to your azure repo.
3, Create an azure Resource Manager service connection to connect your Azure subscription to Azure devops. See this thread for an example.
4, Create an azure devops pipeline to automate the azure resource deployment.
5, Add Azure Resource Manager (ARM) Template Deployment Task in your azure pipeline to deployment the template exported in the first step.
steps:
- task: AzureResourceManagerTemplateDeployment@3
  displayName: 'ARM Template deployment: Resource Group scope'
  inputs:
    azureResourceManagerConnection: 'azuresubscriptionServiceConnection'
    subscriptionId: '......'
    resourceGroupName: 'Resource-group'
    location: 'East US'
    csmFile: template.json
    csmParametersFile: parameters.json

Above just gives you the general steps you need to take when deploying azure resources via azure devops pipeline. You need to explore the documents for yourself to learn how to customize your pipeline, how to create ARM template, And how to use the AzureResourceManagerTemplateDeployment task.

Jean-Christophe Matahuira Bouissou (born 28 October 1960) is a French Polynesian politician and leader of the Rautahi political party.

Education and early career
He received his degree in information and mathematics from Graceland University in 1984. His political career began shortly afterward and in 1998 he became Minister of Housing. He went on to become a Labour minister in 2000.

Crises and aftermaths
From 26 October 2004 to 16 February 2005 he was spokesman of the Flosse government, right after the fall of Oscar Temaru's government due to a motion of censure on 9 October 2004. At that time he also served as Interior Minister and the period has been referred to as one of turmoil. In September 2005 he launched a new pro-autonomy party, the Rautahi party. Although he had been in Flosse's government, by 2010 the two expressed criticisms of each other and had become political rivals.

In October 2007 he was fined for corruption, after favouring his half-brother in social-housing allocation in 2002 while housing minister. In 2013 he was charged with corruption again over his links to New Caledonian businessman Bill Ravel.

In September 2014 he joined the government of Edouard Fritch.

In November 2021 he was appointed vice-president, replacing Tearii Alpha.

SALES ANALYSIS
Truebil eyes gains in India's used car market
Truebil aims to capture five percent share of the used-car market in the three metros of India and intends to leverage technology for improved experience.
By Nilesh Wadhwa 12 Sep 2018 26562 Views Share -
When it comes to vehicle per capita, India despite being the world's fourth biggest car market (in terms of sales) sees one of the lowest ratios around 22 per 1,000 people. On the other hand for India Auto Inc, this low number translates into an ocean of opportunity. No wonder then that the auto industry has seen robust growth in the past few years, on the back of rising income levels, infrastructure growth and various opportunities, not just from personal buyers but also aggregators.
India's used car market is estimated to be around 1.2 times that of new car sales. The average replacement or ownership for vehicles in India is estimated to be around four years. In terms of numbers, the country's used-car business is a thriving operation and remains a buyer-driven market. In 2015, three individuals in Mumbai who were working for a start-up decided to purchase a used car for their daily commute. The sole issue for them was to find and shortlist well-maintained vehicles that fell in their budget, as it was a high-ticket purchase and the market did not have a standard pricing. The process of 'need to buy' and 'fit to buy' took them all of two months. And then there was the challenge of paperwork, getting the requisite certificates and transfer of ownership among others.
It was then that the idea of entrepreneurship was born to them. Despite numerous existing players – online and offline, organised and unorganised, classifieds and word-of-mouth suggestions, the considerable time they spent to find an ideal vehicle that met their requirements was a challenge that most used car buyers face.
This led to the inception of Truebil, a used-car platform that aims to make it easier for sellers and buyers to arrive at their decision quickly. The company was founded by seven IIT graduates – Suraj Kalwani (CEO), Ravi Chirania (Head Operations), Shubh Bansal (Head Marketing), Rakesh Raman (Head Product), Ritesh Pandey (Head Technology), Shanu Vivek (Head Digital Marketing) and Himanshu Singhal (Head Growth & Expansion).
Shubh Bansal, co-founder and chief of marketing, Truebil says, "There was a market gap and we wanted to build a company or solution to provide end-to-end solutions to the customer. This was the genesis of the idea, after that we started with the C2C-marketplace where every car would be inspected and the listing would carry the rating and details along 40 quality photographs."
In 2015 the company raised $500,000 (Rs 3.15 crore) from Kae Capital and angel investor Anupam Mittal, founder and CEO of People Group. In 2016, it raised $5.5 million (Rs 35 crore) in Series-A funding led by Kalaari Capital, Inventus Capital, Kae Capital, and Tekton Ventures; in 2017 it secured an investment of $3 million (Rs 18 crore) from China's leading Venture Capital Fund Shunwei Capital, which was started by the co-founder of Chinese technology major Xiaomi.
Truebil has been founded by seven IIT graduates
The company started operations in Mumbai but now operates in Bangalore and Delhi through its three business verticals – Truebil Marketplace, Truebil Direct and Truebil Auction. Bansal says, "In India, the used car market is supply constrained, there is huge demand but not enough supply in the market. Liquidity is less in India compared to the US. For instance, there are around 45 million used cars sold in the US compared to 3 million in India. Around 60 percent of cars in India are not of good quality, have clocked more than 100,000km, and are over 10 years old. Our business model allows us to take any kind of supply and offload it through our channels."
Inspection and listing
When a seller contacts the company, a representative visits him/her in the next 24 hours, carries out the inspection, sends the photographs and reports to the company. The back-end operation determines vehicle condition, checks if it meets the parameters and gives the seller a quote. If agreed upon, Truebil buys the vehicle and then sells it directly; if the seller does not expect he/she can list the vehicle on the marketplace. In case if the vehicle does not meet the company's quality-check (brand, age, price, mileage, history, non-accidental and weighed on 150 checkpoints), the seller has the option to get the vehicle auctioned through the company's network of over 300 dealers. Bansal says the company will not purchase or list the vehicle on its website if it does not meet the criteria, and in fact Truebil Direct does not deal with vehicles manufactured prior to 2010. The company currently has an inventory capacity of 400 vehicles across three cities (Mumbai 150, Bangalore 150 and Delhi 100).
Shubh Bansal: "Around 60 percent of cars in India are not of good quality, have clocked more than 100,000km, and are over 10 years old. Our business model allows us to take any kind of supply and offload it through our channels."
According to Bansal, the Truebil business model has been quite successful and has seen smart growth. He says the company reported revenue of around Rs 80 crore in FY2018 compared to Rs 760,000 in FY2016, and is projected to achieve Rs 240 crore for FY2019.
Aiming at a speedy turnaround time
With lack of standardisation in the used-car market, the turnaround time plays a crucial role. Truebil Direct says it has a turnaround time of 30 days compared to the industry average of around 40 days. "We are doing around Rs 12 crore of sales (revenue) and total Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is around Rs 25 crore. The average ticket price is around Rs 270,000 through Truebil Direct, Rs 170,000 through Truebil Auctions, and the Truebil Marketplace is around Rs 350,000," says Bansal.
According to the co-founder, success for Truebil Direct lies on the back of the company's dynamic algorithm which takes into account many factors. "We are not dependent on humans to procure or sell a car. The Marketplace listing is a curated one where we inspect each car, collect the data points that no one else is collecting in the country. The condition of the car, price, geographic location (seaside or farther from sea) or rust condition; we collect all this data, collate and run it through some logical algorithms that we have developed, which gives the TruePrice and TrueScore."
"TruePrice takes into account the activity people are doing online on the platform, marketplace and what are the price fluctuations in the marketplace. Also, what new car parameters are coming into play. Suppose there is a new facelifted model slated for launch, then obviously the prices will drop. We use this data to calibrate the TruePrice and the TrueScore, this gives us qualitative parameters."
"Assume we give a quote of Rs 300,000 for a car. Tomorrow, depending on the algorithms, the quote will turn lower or higher; it can also tell the scores on market place is dropping because of the price being higher, this is faster then what humans can calculate. Plus, my score depends on the cars I have in my inventory. If we have 15 Maruti Wagon Rs, and someone wants to sell a Wagon R for Rs 300,000, we will only buy it at Rs 150,000 only, as we already have them in our inventory. We are keeping a strong tab on the turnaround time. Also, we are testing another model wherein if we sell the car at a higher price than what we intended, we will pass on this benefit to the customer as well after getting his/her confirmation to quote a higher or profit-sharing model," adds Bansal.
For a buyer, the company gives a six-month free service warranty, which includes 12 critical car parts and one roadside assistance operation in the year. The charges for paperwork and transfer vary from vehicle to vehicle but the average ranges between Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000. Also, if the vehicle has been with the company for long, the cost of paperwork gets included in the selling price.
Truebil claims it has captured around 2.5 percent of Mumbai's used-car market, 0.5 percent in Delhi and 1.5 percent in Bangalore, considering an average of 10,000 cars sold each month in each city. The company says it is targeting a 5 percent share before venturing into other cities. "It doesn't make sense to venture out to different cities too quickly, as the demand for vehicles will be completely different depending on the geographical location," adds Bansal.
Through Truebil Auction, the company sees another window of opportunity. With around 60 percent of the stock in the used car market not of good quality that consumers in metros do not wish to buy at retail levels, these vehicles see traction in emerging domestic markets. "This is what we are trying to build. We will take this kind of supply and sell to the Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities. We are tying up with dealers in Kolhapur and Pune among others. We are trying to take the supply from metro cities and distribute it to adjacent cities and smaller cities. In the next year, a majority of our focus will go here, apart from the technology part," signs off Bansal.

Precious Jewelry Making Tutorial: Have You Ever Thought Of Making Your Own Jewelry?


The GPGPU crowd have used similar techniques for a while, dubbed Mixed Precision Methods and the first reference I can find to using relative values for "Infinite noise" is in Pixar's paper on Wavelet Noise.
g_Gradients is a table of randomly generated unit vectors. While my table size is 256, Perlin notes that the number of gradient vectors isn't really that important - just that they're evenly distributed. He suggests a relaxation step to achieve Poisson distribution, which I might try, but for now I'm just using a stratified sampling of the sphere.
If you are doing very small-scale noisy details you might be able to get away with one gradient vector look-up, using the GPU's volume texture sampling to do the interpolation and index wrapping for you. This isn't a great technique for variance, however it's useful for the small details when you have lower frequencies available to hide the repetition.
When table/texture lookups are not possible or too slow and when branching is expensive, you can switch to Ashima Arts' Simplex Noise variant. Or you can use Simplex Noise as popularised by Perlin and brilliantly documented by Stefan Gustavson.
I've not found Simplex noise to give any real gains in terms of visuals and performance. Either the branches become a problem or the increased ALU to avoid branches steps in. As I want 100x gains here, not minor "potential" gains, it's not been worth the complexity increase for me.
When you start applying the noise functions on a large scale, single-precision noise breaks down entirely. The easiest way to fix this is by changing all float values in the above source to double. Depending on your use case, this can be quite a sensible solution and it's very easy to find noise examples out there where people brush over the problem entirely and switch to doubles.
On modern PCs (last 8 years or so), the equivalent of the x87 co-processor has been doing floating point arithmetic at 64-bit precision. When you write floating point code on PC, you should be using doubles, as the overhead of marshalling back and forth between float/double precision can make your code slower.
The double version is around 30 times faster than the original implementation, however the real fruit from the tree is the float version at roughly 200 times faster! If we can find a way to make the float version work on a large scale, this could be very good. Of course, the economics of GPU use doesn't really net you those gains: the GPU version needs to be that fast because there are potentially several free CPU cores hanging around that could do the work in 10ms, 3 times a frame. The GPU version doesn't have that flexibility as it needs a good 30ms to render a frame.
This demonstrates a couple of things: the lack of real double performance on GPUs and the greatly increased ALU under-performing table lookups vs. the gradient version.
This is the source position that gets scaled based on what octave it comes from. There are cases, for extremely low frequency noise, where you can get away with floats. In my planet generator (earth sized planets and larger), my first couple of octaves are entirely float-based.
Assuming you have a planet that is earth-sized, most detail will be generated at a distance of ~6,000,000 metres from the origin. Up there, the resolution of a float goes rapidly from 0.0625 metres to 1 metre. While the rounding won't show its effect until you get above 10,000km, there's really no point in trying to marshal the position into a float and I'd rather not have to worry about changing the function for larger planet radii.
The rest of the code does not need to touch a double value, ever; the distance to the far lattice indices has already been adjusted so that it's not in terms of the incoming position.
There are two ways to write a complete double SIMD implementation. The first is to use the SSE2 instructions, storing 3x double values in two 128-bit registers. This is quite painful and the resulting code has significantly less through-put than its float equivalent. I didn't get a chance to correctly profile my implementation but initial investigations proved there was little benefit, especially for the large increase in complexity.
Mixing 128-bit SSE and 256-bit AVX code is very easy to do and can cause significant performance penalties. The problem and some solutions are discussed in Avoiding AVX-SSE Transition Penalties and Intel AVX State Transitions: Migrating SSE Code to AVX. I used C intrinsics to write SIMD code so I was having to parse the generated assembler from MSVC on each run to double-check me or the compiler weren't making mistakes. Intel's solution of running your code through an emulator to check sounds just a little too much.
There is an horrendous Windows 7 WoW64 bug better explained in the post AVX support disrupts WoW64 debugging. The short version is that, for 32-bit programs, AVX state is incorrectly managed during stack walks leading to incorrect call stacks whenever you attach a debugger to a crashed application. A fix is to either run with the debugger attached at all times and have Win32 Exceptions Enabled or to disable AVX support in Windows 7 altogether! Not exactly great choices, there.
32-bit programs have access to only half the registers the equivalent 64-bit programs do. While not really that important for the future, it's a pain when you're trying a slow migration to 64-bit.
AVX is recent enough that you may still need to write an SSE implementation to make up for lack of support on older machines.
Given that we now have a way of using doubles in only a small portion of the code, there's pretty much no reason to need an AVX version. Which is good!
However, the shuffle overhead makes this slower on modern processors so it's only really a gain if your input data is already rotated.
The SIMD approach is valuable. If you have enough free cores, there's nothing stopping you using it at the same time as a GPU implementation. However, better gains in terms of productivity are more likely if you use something like the Intel SPMD Program Compiler. You can also do something like use OpenCL on the CPU but the availability of CPU drivers on the PC may make this very problematic.
The integer hashing is quite slow. Vectorising it is pointless but doing some form of float hash can give significant speed gains (with potential vendor differences).
The lookup table can be condensed and maybe moved into constant memory.
It's already pretty fast but the most important additions I'd suggest are to use multiple noise functions: experiment with value noise, reduce the problem from 3D to 2D, anything. Getting great performance requires domain-specific knowledge of the patterns you're trying to emulate and an appreciation for how much you can cheat.
The static assert should nicely catch any errors you make at compile-time, as well as providing implicit documentation on the valid range of inputs.


Post 800: a damn nuisance, but things turned out just fine!
Andy seemed unusually interested in me this morning while he watched me from the top of the computer.
Andy was very curious. Was it the Egg McMuffin or me he was fascinated by? We'll never know!
Maybe it was all the stuff I took out of my billfold. Seems I'd lost it yesterday, did a panic, cancelled credit cards, contacted the police, cancelled my museum duties so I could search for it while the trail was hot…or not so cold, since I had no idea how long it's been since it went missing.
What a damn nuisance! The only good thing seemed to be the license examiners come to my town Thursdays and Fridays, so I could take care of applying for a new driver's license the day after I discovered the billfold missing. Though you can apply for replacements on-line, you wait 20 days for it to come, and I couldn't wait that long for a license!
There is limited public transportation here. You call for a ride, they come, and eventually you get where you are going. It's a matter of knowing how these things work. I'm used to getting into a car, taking care of business, and being done with it in short order.
Lost several months ago and found yesterday…in my car, barely sticking out near the driver's side seat track.
The police station woman didn't encourage me to drive without a license to get to the DMV office today, but I decided I'd risk it. At worse, in the mile drive I might, might pass a police cruiser, but more likely I'd safely get there, license or not. I have a clean driving record.
I'm 67, have driven since I got a learner's permit at 15 1/2, and in all that time I've been stopped once in South Dakota (they were checking local cars for something, so sent me on with a wave…) and once in Nebraska (my idiot boss made me take the company van to drive him to the airport in the next town even though we both knew a headlight was broken out, courtesy of a Nebraska Department of Roads dump truck that "tossed" gravel at the van when someone else was driving it; I got a "fix it" ticket, which was done the same day and should have been done before I got the van in the first place. I was pissed!).
Must have been the Egg McMuffin because he went over to his blue carrier perch on the settee after I finished eating the food.
Cancelling three credit cards was a revelation. Chase VISA was a nightmare to deal with, with automated menus offering several choices, including one where I was asked to punch in the first three letters of a password. Fine, except I have a primitive flip phone. Two of three letters in the password were the first letter possible for the key concerned. The third letter required punching the key twice to get to the correct letter, which is to say, the automated Chase system mistook for the first letter, not the second.
I am a life member of several organizations, and I didn't look forward to getting these replaced!
Follow that? I was yelling obscenities at a machine before I finally got a human. The human noted I'd be able to take a short survey after we took care of our business. I wisely hung up rather than tell them just how I feel.
The 1st National Bank of Omaha card was a little less unfriendly to cancel and arrange for a new card, and the American Express process was simple, fast, all on-line, and offered the fastest replacement time – two days! The others assured me I could see a card in one business week.
As fascinating as I was, Andy had other priorities!
And the lost billfold? This morning, while putting on my light jacket to leave for the DMV, I felt a lump in the left sleeve, an odd lump…! Yes, somehow my billfold ended up in the sleeve lining. Oddly enough, it was still in the pocket I usually put it in, and the pocket was what was stuffed…JEEZ! After all the fuss, then, I still had everything, but was getting all new credit cards. I didn't have to go to the DMV (illegally driving there) I'd got ready to go to, and I had the added bonus of finding that lost car key!
This business was a damn nuisance, but things turned out just fine!


Quality of Service (QoS) is the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various underlying technologies. It differentiates network traffic and prioritizes different traffic flows to provide a degree of guarantee to different networks services, such as voice, video and data. Different applications have different requirements regarding how to handle their traffic in the network. Applications generally require that the network can carry the traffic at the rate at which they generate. Some applications can tolerate traffic delays and jitter and a degree of traffic loss – others cannot.
With high-performance Layer 2-3 network test and measurement equipment, Xena offers QoS validation solutions in accordance with RFC 2544 and Y.1564 to enterprises, data centers, network administrators, operators, device vendors, etc. to test and evaluate the QoS mechanisms that are either deployed or developed. Xena offers a wide selection of port speeds, ranging from 1G to 100G. With the advance statistics functions, users can track, analyze and troubleshoot QoS, in order to maintain a high service quality guarantee.

The Senior Person is a staff member who has been given authority to make decisions for the good of the library. There are three levels of Senior Person: Administrative, Building, and Departmental.
The Senior Administrative Person is always the Director whenever they are physically present. In the Director's absence, the Deputy Director is senior administrator; in their absence, the Branch Manager, Adult Services Manager, Youth Services Manager, Digital Services Manager, Circulation Services Manager, Technical Services Manager and the Business Manager/Fiscal Officer are respectively senior. Regardless of whether they are physically present or not, the Senior Administrative Person makes decisions regarding the system as a whole, such as whether to close a building.
The Building Senior Person is given the authority to exert control over the staffing and operations of the agency in routine situations and handles complaints from customers. The Building Senior Person supervises staff in the absence of the department supervisor or senior administrative staff. At Main Library this responsibility is rotated among Public Service Managers, the Deputy Director, other designated staff. At Woods Branch it is the Branch Manager, Circulation Services Manager, or other designated staff. In instances where particular departmental procedures are involved, the Building Senior Person confers with the Departmental Senior Person.
The Departmental Senior Person is designated by a department manager to function in their absence. This person makes decisions regarding emergency staffing, oversees the giving of breaks, and ensures that the work of the department goes smoothly.
Responsibilities of the Building Senior Person
Checks with each Departmental Senior Person to ensure that staffing is adequate.
Makes decisions about the safety and security of the building; settles problems with customers that should not be deferred; manages last-minute issues with meeting rooms; makes decisions about staff and scheduling that should not be deferred.
Informs the Senior Administrative Person of unusual actions taken or circumstances which may result in later repercussions, such as customer complaints or disciplinary problems. (Serious emergencies immediately, other matters the next day).
In conference with the building Maintenance staff, informs Maintenance Services Manager of building emergencies; may arrange for emergency building repairs under their direction or in their stead. In the absence of a Maintenance staff person, the Senior Person addresses any building issues to the best of their ability, consulting with other staff as necessary.
Informs Maintenance staff about building conditions such as heat/air conditioning, restrooms, etc.
Writes Incident Reports as necessary.

DJI Lightbridge 2 breaks technical limits to allow you to travel further and see more clearly. The integrated controller and intelligent algorithms set a new standard for wireless HD image transmission by lowering latency and increasing maximum range and reliability.
Broadcast everything live - from global news events to sports to your local concerts and gatherings, all directly to large-screen displays, multi-million YouTube audiences and standard TV channels.
The Lightbridge 2 has been designed from the ground up to meet the requirements of professional broadcasting at high frame rates and HD clarity. USB, mini-HDMI and 3G-SDI ports support video output at up to 1080p/60fps or broadcast standard output of 720p/59.94fps and 1080i/50fps.
With a new, powerful hardware encoder and advanced algorithms, total latency has been significantly reduced to as low as 50ms. * So fly FPV, see what your camera sees, and capture footage as never before.
Aircraft and camera control signals are also transmitted over Lightbridge 2 at lightning fast speeds, giving you smooth, responsive navigation as you fly or direct your camera.
*Latency does not include camera latency. Effective latency is dependent on local conditions and interference.
All this to ensure that you will be able to explore distantlocations and capture any perspective, always receiving a crystal clear imageof your camera's sight.
*Maximum range in open areas under optimal conditions free of interference.
Start broadcasting within seconds. The Lightbridge 2 greatly reduces the number of parts you must carry, mount, and set up. With the receiver fully integrated into a new remote controller, simply connect your display equipment, power your system on, and you are ready to go.
The included remote provides easy access to vital functions. It has dedicated hardware controls for photo and video capture, gimbal pitch control, sensitive flight control sticks and dedicated Return To Home and customizable buttons.* Additionally, an internal, rechargeable 6,000mAh battery lets you fly longer and makes charging easy and quick.
*Camera control functionality is dependent on the paired camera. Custom button functionality is dependent on the Flight Controller.
Lightbridge 2 is intelligent. It automatically adapts in real time to keep latency low while maintaining a strong signal. For uninterrupted transmission, a high-speed processor chooses the best channel and bandwidth based on current distance and electromagnetic environment.
When using the DJI GO app, you can choose to maximize video quality or focus on lower latency, and manually change to your desired transmission channel.
Transmit the same live HD view wirelessly to several devices by connecting multiple remote controllers in Master-Slave mode. Increase efficiency by working together to accomplish complex imaging and broadcasting tasks. Lightbridge 2 supports up to one Master and three Slave devices at the same time, so the pilot, gimbal operator, director, and broadcast team can all receive the video signal and monitor the shooting process from different places.
Use the powerful DJI GO app to control your camera, and receive a live HD view of what the camera sees, on your paired mobile device. Flight information including current status, full telemetry, location, heading, and more is displayed and updated live, making every flight safe and convenient.
Lightbridge 2 supports a range of professional-level DJI products. This means that you can build your custom system out of parts that work perfectly together, because they were designed to. If you have an existing system based on the previous version of Lightbridge, or are currently using an analog or WiFi-based video downlink, you can easily upgrade to the Lightbridge 2.
Output full HD video to almost any type of display – mobile phones and tablets, desktop displays and TVs can all receive live video output. You can even output video to several devices simultaneously through a combination of ports, either USB and 3G-SDI , or USB and mini-HDMI.
Lightbridge 2 can transmit video from two cameras simultaneously: the main camera used to capture video and photographs, and a second camera showing the First Person View (FPV).
Output a Picture-In-Picture view via mini-HDMI or 3G-SDI to a TV or other external display, where the FPV is layered with the main camera view. The views and controls are completely independent so that the gimbal control will not affect the pilot view or the aircraft's navigation, and vice versa.

Deios II: Deidia, from BARCHboi, is a sequel to Deios, and stands as an experimental album/game/visual experience that mixes platforming into a glitched-out world filled with oddly-scaled layered sprites, beams of light, splashes of sound and music, improperly parsed overlapping text, odd popup images (which are editable), and a minimal yet somewhat unnerving narrative. The game is an exploration-based platformer, although the platforming mechanics can be a bit frustrating due to the player character's high movement speed, the general absence of flat surfaces, and the occasional need for precise movement. Exploration involves passing through doors to reach new areas, with very little direction given to players as to how to make progress or whether doors will take them to new areas or return them to old ones.
The game is available for PC and Mac via Steam and Itch.io. Check our coverage here.

We went to a high school production of a 90's concert last Friday. I've been trying to work out, since then, what is the best way to share the experience with you, the readers. I decided that posting the videos of the original hits would be best. They are shown in the order that appears on the above-noted album.
This last one wasn't on the album, but should have been. Did you enjoy that?

Q: Extracting data from the 2nd table by looking at the condition in a table with php In my table named Follow, there is the information of those who are followed. For example, let's say my user id is 1:
tableID | followerID | followedID
___________________________________

1       | 1          | 13
2       | 1          | 32

In this table, I follow users with 13 and 32 user IDs.
I have a table named story. In this table, there are blog posts written by each user. Now I want to see the blogs of my users that I follow on the homepage.
storyID | userID | storyDesc
___________________________________

1       | 1      | Lorem Ipsum
2       | 13     | Dolor set
3       | 32     | lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

Normally I can do this as follows:
$connect=$db->preparea("SELECT * FROM story");
$connect->execute();
while($story = $connect->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC){

    $con=$db->prepare("SELECT * FROM follow where followerID='1' and
    followedID='{$story['userID']}'");
    $con->execute();
    $count = $con->rowCount();

    if($count == 1){
        echo $story['storyDesc'];
    }
}

Can I do this directly from the sql query?

A: I don't know if this is the right thing to do, but I tried something like this and it worked:
$connect=$db->prepare("SELECT * FROM story RIGHT JOIN follow ON story.userID=follow.followedID where follow.followerID='{1}'");
$connect->execute();
while($result = $connect->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
    echo $result['storyDesc'];
}

Thank you for helping:)


Football standout Jordan Culbreath '10, who was sidelined with a life-threatening blood disease in 2009, has been cleared to rejoin Princeton's team this year, the University announced Aug. 25.
"First and foremost, we are thrilled to see Jordan's health improve over the last few months," head coach Bob Surace '90 said in a press release. "Regardless of what he does between the lines this season, he is already an inspiration to our entire program."
Culbreath, the Ivy League's leading rusher in 2008, left a Sept. 26, 2009, game at Lehigh with an ankle injury. When team doctors evaluated his condition, they recognized other concerns, including fatigue. Days later, Culbreath was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, a rare condition in which the body stops producing enough new blood cells. He received extensive treatment near his hometown in northern Virginia.
Culbreath will serve as one of Princeton's team captains, as he did in 2009. He received a medical hardship exception from the Ivy League, providing him with full eligibility for his senior season. Preseason practices began this morning.

Hundreds of computer memory sticks have been withdrawn following a security breach at Preston Prison.
The information breach occurred on December 30 at HMP Preston after the USB stick - with the password attached to it on a memo note - was lost.
Seriously now. What can I say. I tell people all the time not to write passwords on sticky notes attached to their computer monitors. And we even mention this in our user's manual. And of course, people look at me silly for even mentoning it, like nobody would ever do that. People do.
What I haven't really quite figured out is why these people even bother to spend money on security software if they're just going to put their passwords out there in plain sight.
I wonder if data theives ever write thank you on these notes and place them back?

Q: Unable to display  in OpenCL and C++ I am new to OpenCL and I have a problem with displaying the <CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZES> as a whole number/value. Instead I get a memory address.
Initially, I tried to declare a string and integer output variable to display the maximum work item size. But eventually I found out that the work item size returns a size_t data type instead. So I created a vector to store the size_t variable but it outputs a memory address instead.
And also, my display shows the Device Number in the reverse order (shows Device #1 then Device #0 - this is used to select a device for the later part of my program)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
int main()
{
    std::vector<cl::Platform> platforms;    // available platforms
    std::vector<cl::Device> devices;        // devices available to a platform
    std::string outputString;               // string for output
    std::vector<::size_t> maxWorkItems[3];
    unsigned int i, j;                      // counters
    std::string choice;                     // user input choice

    cl::Platform::get(&platforms);
    std::cout << "Do you want to use a CPU or GPU device: ";
    std::cin >> choice;
    if (choice == "CPU" || choice == "cpu")
    {
        // for each platform
        for (i = 0; i < platforms.size(); i++)
        {
            // get all CPU devices available to the platform
            platforms[i].getDevices(CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL, &devices);

            for (j = 0; j < devices.size(); j++)
            {
                cl_device_type type;
                devices[j].getInfo(CL_DEVICE_TYPE, &type);
                if (type == CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU) {
                std::cout << "\tDevice #" << j << std::endl;
                //outputs the device type
                std::cout << "\tType: " << "CPU" << std::endl;
                // get and output device name
                outputString = devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_NAME>();
                std::cout << "\tName: " << outputString << std::endl;
                // get and output device vendor
                outputString = devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_VENDOR>();
                std::cout << "\tVendor: " << outputString << std::endl;
                //get and output compute units
                std::cout << "\tNumber of compute units: " << devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_MAX_COMPUTE_UNITS>() << std::endl;
                //get and output workgroup size
                std::cout << "\tMaximum work group size: " << devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_GROUP_SIZE>() << std::endl;
                //get and output workitem size
                maxWorkItems[0] = devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZES>();
                std::cout << "\tMaximum work item size: " << maxWorkItems << std::endl;
                //get and output local memory size
                std::cout << "\tLocal memory size: " << devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE>() << std::endl;
                std::cout << std::endl;
            }
        }
    }
}

Below is the undesired output of my code:
The max work item size is in hexadecimal format, and the device numbers are in reverse order.

A: The CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZE property is of array type, specifically, size_t[]. You shouldn't be expecting a scalar value, but an array of CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_DIMENSIONS elements. With the OpenCL C++ wrapper, you're on the right track with the vector, but you've now declared an array of 3 vectors:
std::vector<::size_t> maxWorkItems[3];

You in fact just want the one vector that will hold all the returned values:
std::vector<::size_t> maxWorkItems;

The property query becomes:
maxWorkItems = devices[j].getInfo<CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZES>();

Then you should be able to query the max work items in each dimension using maxWorkItems[0], maxWorkItems[1], etc.

"Helena, Arkansas was one of the many towns along the line of the Mississippi occupied by Union forces during 1862. In the summer of 1863 Union occupation of Helena served two purposes. First, it helped to protect the supply line along the Mississippi to the troops besieging Vicksburg. Second, it provided a possible base for any attack on the state capitol, at Little Rock.
The Confederate commander west of the Mississippi was Edmund Kirby- Smith (since March 1863). He had replaced Lieutenant-General Theophilius H. Holmes, who had demoted to command the District of Arkansas. Together, they decided to launch an attack on the Federal garrison at Helena, partly to help relieve the pressure at Vicksburg, and partly to protect the Confederate position in Arkansas.
Their timing was good. The Union garrison at Helena had recently been reduced from 20,000 men to 4,000, under Major-General B. M. Prentiss, when most of the men had been transferred to Vicksburg. However, they did have a strong position. Helena was overlooked by a line of hills, on which they had built a series of forts (Fort Righter to the north, Graveyard Hill in the middle and Fort Hindman to the south). A single gunboat, the U.S.S. Tyler, protected them from the river…."
Honestly never heard of it before today. Good to know.
Really not a very good option to wargame. Very well dug in union troops being assaulted over open ground by not enough confederate troops. The outcome will not be in doubt. I game mostly Trans Mississippi actions but this battle is a non starter.
A great scale for a wargame, but attacking 4,000 troops entrenched on high ground with 7,000 could never accomplish anything but a pointless effusion of blood.


Sign Language Resources, Inc. provides coordination and consultation services so that Deaf, Deaf and Blind, and Hard of Hearing persons can attend conferences, workshops, meetings, and trainings and find your programs accessible for communication. Our interpreters are highly skilled and experienced in this kind of interpreting.
At SLR we have the expertise to plan communication between the Deaf and hearing persons at your conference so that all may benefit to the fullest extent. Before the event SLR can help you with a host of services such as determining the best room set up, devising breakout logistics, create a schedule for the interpreting team that is efficient and well organized, and coordinating the distribution of presentation materials. During the event, depending on its size, we provide either on site or telephone support. After the event SLR goes through a briefing with you to document what worked best as well as determine areas of improvement for the next time.
Conference interpretation enables participants to communicate with one another in a seamless fashion, making the language barrier almost imperceptible. Most of the time conference Sign Language interpreting is generally performed in simultaneous mode, or the interpretation is provided at nearly at the same time as the message is delivered.
At a conference, the Sign Language interpreters usually need space in the front of the room to do their work. If the speaker is hearing and delivering a message in spoken English, and some of the conference participants are Deaf, the interpreters will sit or stand in front facing the audience. If the speaker is Deaf and delivering a message in Sign Language, and if the attendees do not follow Sign Language, the interpreters will also sit up front but facing the speaker, often using a microphone to carry voice interpretations to all participants seated in the back.
The interpreter renders all of the messages in the first person. Usually the same interpreters who are currently providing the interpretation will voice or sign questions or comments from the floor, or in some conferences where there is a high number of attendees, other interpreters may be responsible for floor comments. Depending on the needs and size of the audience, there may be 2 to 4 interpreters working together as a team, each with their own roles, but also working collaboratively.
The flow goes something like this: concentrate, listen, think, decide, sign, concentrate, listen, think, decide, speak, and then while signing and/or speaking, continue to concentrate, listen, think, and decide - a very challenging intellectual loop, all while being engaging and pleasant.
A professional conference interpreter is always well-prepared, reviews materials in advance allowing for research when necessary, and arrives early to meet with speakers and attendees to gain an understanding of dynamics.


MADISON — Whooping cranes have achieved two important nesting milestones toward creating a self-sustaining flock in eastern North America in their return to Wisconsin this spring.
Officials from the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership told the La Crosse Tribune that a pair of cranes has nested at White River Marsh Wildlife Area for the first time, expanding the nesting range in the state in Green Lake County and acting as an important backup to the Necedah National Wildlife Refuge.
Operation Migration recently organized scientists and others to monitor the pair's nest through an online streaming video camera operating 24/7.
Meanwhile, partnership officials said two cranes nesting in Necedah are the first to nest in the state resulting from a released "parent-reared" crane, a bird reared by a parent crane in captivity rather than human caretakers in costumes.
Parham said the Necedah nest is encouraging because experts are trying to create methods to raise the chicks in the most natural setting possible.
Partnership officials said Wisconsin Natural Resources Department pilot Beverly Paulan found both pairs of cranes during the same weekly aerial survey earlier this month. The population of the endangered species in the eastern flock has gone from zero to more than 100 cranes since reintroduction efforts began in 2001, according to the partnership.
"This is happening right here in Wisconsin," Ray said.
Partnership officials said the flock isn't considered self-sustaining yet. The group tries to reduce human interaction with captive-reared birds in the hopes of raising more attentive cranes and reducing chick mortality once captive-reared birds become parents.

Anorexia nervosa, also referred to as anorexia, is a complex eating disorder that affects millions of people each year in the United States and around the world. Anorexia is characterized by a preoccupation with body weight or shape and limiting food intake, resulting in unhealthy weight loss. It may also be accompanied by other behaviors such as throwing up or vomiting after meals, the use of substances like diet pills, or intense exercising. Though it often develops during teenage years or adolescence, anorexia does not discriminate between age, gender, race or class.
Bulimia nervosa, also referred to as bulimia, is a serious eating disorder that has potentially fatal medical and psychological consequences. It is characterized by repeated instances of eating significantly more food than what most people would eat in a short period of time, followed by one or more behaviors to attempt to compensate for the food eaten. These behaviors, also known as purging or compensatory behaviors, might include throwing up or vomiting, intense exercising, or the use of substances like diet pills or laxatives. Bulimia is associated with significant impairment in the individual's life and occurs, on average, once per week for at least three months.
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder in the United States, affecting an estimated 3.5% of women, 2% of men, and 1.6% of adolescents. It is characterized by recurring instances of binge eating, which can be described as eating large amounts of food in a short period of time accompanied by a loss of control. The binge eating occurs, on average, at least once per week for at least three months. Unlike anorexia and bulimia, people suffering with BED do not engage in purging or compensatory behaviors, such as throwing up or exercising intensely to counter the food eaten.
While Orthorexia is not officially recognized in the DSM-5, providers are seeing this more frequently in their practices and treatment centers. Because it is potentially a precursor to developing a full blown eating disorder, it is vital that therapists and dietitians know how to identify orthorexia. Orthorexia is a proposed distinct eating disorder characterized by extreme or excessive preoccupation with eating healthy food. The orthorexic client obsesses about healthy eating instead of obsessing about losing weight and being thin.
Compulsive overeating also known as food addiction is a term described by mental health professionals and eating disorder specialists for individuals who eat a large amount of food in a short period and feel "out of control" when it comes time to their eating habits. This intense urge to consume a large amount of food in a short period is triggered by underlying feelings of self-doubt, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and control issues. Compulsive overeating is not considered an eating disorder per say and is not included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM V), but is rather a term used to describe an unhealthy eating behavior that can be described as comfort eating or a food addiction. Compulsive overeating affects both men and women of all ages as opposed to the majority of eating disorders which have a greater tendency to affect more women than men.
Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder, or ARFID, is a new diagnosis added to the DSM -5 in the category of eating or feeding disturbance. ARFID is characterized by an apparent lack of interest in eating or food, avoidance based on the characteristics of food, concern about aversive consequences of eating, as manifested by persistent failure to meet appropriate nutritional and or energy needs. There is often significant weight loss or failure to achieve expected weight gain, significant nutritional deficiency, dependence on enteral feeding or oral nutrition supplements, and marked psychosocial functioning.
