Judicial Chronicle
Witness's testimonies
The website Prigovor.ru has found out that the finance swindler from the company Yukos has hired two well-known British filmmakers and has paid them 1 million British pounds for creating a yet another "documentary" anti-Russian gore.
Despite that fact that the finance fraud, collaborationist and foreign agent Mikhail Khodorkovsky* regularly appears in the information space, - now on YouTube, now on Telegram or Twitter – his "five minutes hate" doesn't provoke considerable repercussions on the part of Russian users. Khodorkovsky's media projects of different kinds do not find a wide audience either. So, Khodorkovsky, the former head of the oil company Yukos, at the behests of Vladimir Lenin, recalled that "cinema is the most important arts" and decided to storm the heights of film-making.
The website Prigovor.ru has studied registration actions of several firms of London's swindler and has spotted interesting personnel reshuffle.
VERY EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS ANN SHEEHAN AND MARIA LOGAN
As is known, circumstances forced Khodorkovsky to phase out in France two of his organizations – "Open Press"** and "European choice"** that had been caught a number of times in financing of anti-Russian fake news outlets.
These shell French finance firms were headed by Oxana Pascal, a long-time Khodorkovsky's confidant who had once managed his first "laundries", namely the affiliate of the bank Menatep in Cyprus.
Mikhail Borisovich Khodorkovsky was not ready to let go such a talented person, so he appointed Oksana Pascal director of the company "MBK Productions Limited". This is a firm with entangled genealogy. The website Prigovor.ru reported last year about its "hide and seek games" with British monitoring agencies – Khodorkovsky had tried to hide it in a different place having changed its name.
(See also: «Khodorkovsky has hidden his London firm in a new place». Trying to foul the trail, the known trickster has renamed the "blown" firm "MBK IP UK Limited" to "MBK Production Limited").
We have followed further personnel changes in this "production company" and have found ourselves in the world of cinema.
It turns out that, starting from January 2022, the famous British producer Anne Sheehan has been working in the firm ("Official Secrets", "Nureyev. The White Crow", "Chef", "Madame Bovary", "Keeping Mum"). The oil fraud Mikhail Khodorkovsky engaged Anne as manager of the media financing department of the company "MBK Productions Limited". Anne Sheehan herself told about this on her personal page of a social networking site.
It's worth mentioning that, working for Khodorkovsky, Anne, at once, has developed a frenzied activity. For instance, on May 10, in the publication "Moving Image Middle East" emerged a piece telling about the beginning of filming of a new film "Firebird" with such Hollywood stars as Jude Law and Oscar winning Alicia Vicander. It's been reported that the producers of this film are Anne Sheehan and Maria Logan from the company "MBK Production Limited".
And in the Autumn 2022, "The Hollywood Reporter" told about the beginning of making the film "The Outrun" in which with the Oscar bid Saoirse Ronan plays a convalescent alcoholic woman who just left a rehabilitation center. The last among the executive producers of this film based on the memoirs of Amy Liptrot, are mentioned the same Khodorkovsky's ladies Anne Sheehan and Maria Logan from the company "MBK Production Limited".
Thus, in becomes evident that Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who during the last years told at every corner that that he, in principle, was not involved in business, but only in humanitarian projects and politics, has started to crawl towards film business.
Is the Hollywood producer Anne Sheehan aware she has been investing in film production money belonging to the consummate oil swindler whom the American press, in the beginning of the 1990s, called precisely "robber baron"? For instance, the newspaper "The Washington Post", in July 2003, characterized Khodorkovsky as "a dealer with horrendous reputation", "one of tycoons that amassed vast wealth during the often corrupt sell-off of companies in the 1990s"…
However, as we remember well, it's not for the first time that Hollywood uses mafia money.
KHODORKOVSKY HAS INVESTED 1 MILLION BRITISH POUNDS IN HIS FUTURE DOCUMENTARY "BUCHA-FILM"
While Mikhail Khodorkovsky has engaged with feature films mainly for money, for heavy purse, documentaries are clearly for him a new instrument in his fight against Russia. The website Prigovor.ru assured itself of it having studied biographies of persons working for Khodorkovsky.
It has turned out that Maria Logan (who is working together with the Anne Sheehan from Britain, has an additional place of work. She is, in effect, a multi-tasking machine operator.
Maria Logan, full name Maria Petina Logan, was born in April 1974, she has an American citizenship, and a status of Britain's tax resident. She is a trusted lawyer of Mikhail Khodorkovsky and she has been servicing his interest for 20 years. Logan, for many years, has been one of the directors of Mikhail Khodorkovsky's two British foundations that are used for financing of his anti-Russian activities – "Future of Russia Foundation" ** and "Khodorkovsky Foundation".
Apart from that, on July 19, 2021, Maria Petina Logan, professional lawyer with more than 20 years of experience, becomes one of the directors of the film company "Rugforce Films Limited". This film company was registered a bit earlier in the same year by the well-known British documentary film director Christopher Clarke Hird.
For the collaborationist Khodorkovsky the documentary film director Hird is a real catch. His biography and range of Interest are rather specific – he is a former journalist who worked for "The Economist" and "The New Statesmen", he is also founder the documentary film studio "Dartmouth Films", former managing editor of the Bureau of Journalistic Investigations, curator of journalistic investigations, curator of the "Wincott Foundation" helping journalists, instructor of the international journalist network "One World Media", president of the "Ethical Journalism Network", author of the book "Investigative Journalism Work: the Mechanism of Impact", published in 2018.
But the most important in this resume are views of Christopher Clarke Hird. He is a 100% Russophobe. To make sure of that, it suffices to look at the project "Ethical Journalism Network" devoted to Ukraine. There are lots of materials that are arguably objective, yet they are, from head to foot, permeated with primitive cliches and accusing Russia of all possible crimes.
As the website Prigovor.ru has established, Khodorkovsky's documentary project is now very active, or, at least, is actively spending money. According to the information of the British company "Pomanda" dealing with finance analytics, in May 2022, the turnover of the film company "Rugforce Films Limited" amounted to 1 171 742 British pounds.
What is this money being spent on and how it is being spent? From open sources we can get an insight only about a little part of this sum. In particular, in the report of the charitable "Roddick Foundation" from July 19, 2022, on the second page of the document, there is information about the grant in the amount of 173 237 British pounds that the company "Rugforce Films" received for covering its expenses for a full length film about street homeless (most likely, it's a personal project of Hird not connected with Khodorkovsky and his "enforcer" Maria Logan).
And the rest sum in play, a full weight million British pounds, obviously, has been invested in film production in the interest of Mikhail Khodorkovsky. So that soon we will be able to get acquainted with yet another masterpiece of British "independent" documentary films. Just another "Bucha-film". The finance fraud and collaborationist Mikhail Khodorkovsky calls the shorts.

My family is crazy for bread. They can't seem to get enough of it. We make some sort of bread every week and my kids take turns helping me. Punching the dough is the funnest part of course. My daughter helped me make this bread. When she was mixing the dry ingredients, I heard her say, "Two cups of SALT? Really?" I then realized that she was reading the directions wrong and wanted to add 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar and 2 cups salt. Glad I was there to catch the mistake! We started over!
This month for The Secret Recipe Club I loved looking through Karens blog Cinnamon Freud. I was pleased as punch to find this awesome Cinnamon Pull Apart Bread. I knew that they family would absolutely love it! It was simple to make and the dough was really easy to work with.
Everyone loved it and they can't wait to make it again! Thanks Karen for a fantastic recipe!
In a saucepan combine milk and butter over medium heat. Stir together over heat until butter is melted. Let cool until mixture reaches 115-125°F. Stir in vanilla extract and 2 tablespoons water.
Combine 3 tablespoons warm water and yeast with a pinch of sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 10 minutes.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add in eggs one at a time and mix until incorporated. Stir in 3/4 cup of flour and stir for 2 minutes.
Place dough in a large greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
In a small bowl mix together the sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the filling. Melt the 2 ounces of butter for the filling in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a brown, 5-10 minutes. Grease a 9 inch by 5 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
Punch down the dough and knead in 2 tablespoons of flour. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Place on a lightly floured surface and roll dough out to a 12 inch by 20 inch long rectangle. Brush with melted brown butter. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
Slice dough into 6 vertical strips. Then cut into 6 horizontal strips to make 36 total strips. Layer the strips in the prepared loaf pan. Just kinda stack and layer them in there while the pan is tipped on its side. They don't have to be super neat, just push them in there. Cover and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, 30-45 minutes.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Run knife around the edges of pan. Invert onto a plate and flip back over. Serve warm.


Between 1848 and 1855, miners unearthed 750,000 pounds of gold in California. But the state didn't just tempt those in search of the precious metal. California had another kind of gold to offer: the warmth of a seemingly endless summer that, some claimed, conferred health on whoever soaked in the sun's plentiful rays.
In "Sun Seekers – The Cure of California," Lyra Kilston tells the story of the state's self-identification with health and wellness. It's a history populated by wild claims and willing followers.
It was the beginning of a collective health obsession that never really faded. Kilston's book is filled with figures who advocated everything from raw food cures and dress reform to nudism and cave dwelling.
While she focuses on the past, Kilston suggests compelling comparisons between gurus such as Lovell and today's health fads. (Juicing, it turns out, was touted in California long before Instagram fell in love with celery juice.) Plentiful illustrations show everything from the first raw vegetarian restaurant to people practicing proto-Pilates.
Sun seekers "sought both physical health and something more holistic and abstract," Kilston writes, "a source of vitality far from the poisons of civilization. A wellspring reclaimed; a return to nature. Some found what they were looking for." The search continues – even if it has ditched the flowing gowns for the form-fitting fashion called athleisure.


To begin installing Linux, you must boot your system from the installation media. Most recently manufactured PCs can boot the Installation CD 1 CD-ROM. However, unless you generally boot from a CD-ROM—which is quite unlikely—you'll need to reconfigure your PC's BIOS so your PC is able to boot from a CD-ROM. To do so, enter your PC's BIOS screen and look for a configuration item titled something like Boot Order or Boot Priority. Change the configuration so that the CD-ROM drive has the highest boot priority. Consult your PC's documentation for details on entering and using its BIOS configuration screens.
Insert Disc 1 of Linux into your system's CD-ROM drive.
Click My Computer and then your CD-ROM drive. Navigate to the d:\dosutils\rawritewin directory, where d is the drive letter associated with your CD-ROM drive. Double-click the program rawwritewin. The RawWrite dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 3-1. Specify the floppy drive and image file (images\bootdisk.img or other), and click Write. It takes perhaps a minute or so for the rawrite utility to create the floppy diskette.

Alleluia Verse for Wednesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time, Cf. Mt 4:23:
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and cured every disease among the people.
The Roman Martyrology today commemorates St. Prisca, virgin and martyr (d. 275). Under Emperor Claudius II in about 270 she gained the crown of martyrdom. Prisca should not be confused with Priscilla, the wife of Aquila, mentioned in the Acts, whose feast dates to the earliest days of Christianity.
St. Prisca
Prisca, who is also known as Priscilla, was a child martyr of the early Roman Church. Born to Christian parents of a noble family, Prisca was raised during the reign of the Roman emperor Claudius. While Claudius did not persecute Christians with the same fervor as other Roman emperors, Christians still did not practice their faith openly. In fact, Prisca's parents went to great lengths to conceal their faith, and thus they were not suspected of being Christians.
Prisca, however, did not feel the need to take precaution. The young girl openly professed her dedication to Christ, and eventually, she was reported to the emperor. Claudius had her arrested, and commanded her to make a sacrifice to Apollo, the pagan god of the sun.
According to the legend, Prisca refused and was tortured for disobeying. Then, suddenly, a bright, yellow light shone about her, and she appeared to be a little star.
Claudius ordered that Prisca be taken away to prison, in the hopes that she would abandon Christ. When all efforts to change her mind were unsuccessful, she was taken to an amphitheatre and thrown in with a lion.
As the crowd watched, Prisca stood fearless. According to legend, the lion walked toward the barefoot girl, and then gently licked her feet. Disgusted by his thwarted efforts to dissuade Prisca, Claudius had her beheaded.
Seventh-century accounts of the grave sites of Roman martyrs refer to the discovery of an epitaph of a Roman Christian named Priscilla in a large catacomb and identifies her place of interment on the Via Salaria as the Catacomb of Priscilla.

Today is "Giving Tuesday" and we are currently in the middle of our Year-End fundraising campaign. Fundraising is a must in our line of work, but, as I have said before, fundraising is not our goal; it is simply a vehicle used to reach our goal.
Non-profit work, by nature, requires your gifts. We could not provide the free expert care at HOPE without the generous donations of individuals, churches, and businesses. A pregnancy test would be turned away, our three ultrasound machines would be non-existent, and our desire to provide parenting education and baby showers to first-time moms would be just that, a desire, without your gifts.
Thankfully, this is not our truth because you showed up and you gave. We provided 816 pregnancy tests, 457 ultrasounds, and 527 STD tests over the last year because you gave. We scheduled 2237 appointments, mentored and educated 55 first-time moms, and threw 50+ baby showers over the last year because you gave.
A mom felt loved and supported because you gave. A dad had the opportunity to change the course of his life because you gave. A young woman facing impossible odds saw the light at the end of the tunnel because you gave. A baby was given a chance to taste freedom because you gave.
These are not arbitrary clichés or anecdotes. These are truths that occurred because you cared about your neighbor in need.
We see brokenness and hurt every day at HOPE. We hear the stories of physical abuse, struggles with addiction, and economic hardships. We get bogged down as we fight in the trenches for our patients. We struggle to understand some of the choices that are made or the obstacles in the way of life.
We mourn over miscarriages, anomalies, and the patient that leaves with abortion on her mind. We, however, don't find our home there. Instead, we are encouraged and motivated to keep fighting because thousands of you are willing to fight with us.
Your prayers, volunteering, and donations do more than help with our budget. They breathe life into this ministry. We get to answer God's call on our lives because you partner with us.
We get to tell that new mom she is not alone because you give. We get to tell that person struggling with addiction that there is a better way because you give. We get to hold that precious baby girl or boy and shower them with gifts because you give.
HOPE will celebrate 20 years in 2017. During this time we have served close to 25,000 patients and have seen moms, dads, and babies saved because you gave.
As we look to the future and reflect on the past this Christmas season, I would ask you to prayerfully consider what your involvement and engagement may look like at HOPE. Every dollar you give will be used to serve this community and the most vulnerable among us.
We are beyond blessed to call Knoxville home and to call you a friend. The past 20 years have been remarkable and we look forward to standing with you for many more as we celebrate the amazing gift of life!


Me: Is it a bake for the firemen day?
Him: No, I don't think so. What Tuesday is it?
Me: It's a third Tuesday.
Time passes and a voice calls up from the basement….
So I had to come up with something fast and that I could make with what I could find in my pantry/refrigerator 'cause it was already after noon and he had to take the treats in by 6PM. I decided on brownies of some kind because I ALWAYS have what I need on hand to make brownies. I did want to dress them up a little so while they were baking I looked around for what I could do and I figured turtle brownies would be just the thing.
Grease a 13 x 9″ pan and line with parchment paper. Grease the parchment.
Melt the butter. Remove from heat. Stir in the sugar, eggs and vanilla.
Stir in the flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder.
Sprinkle the walnuts or pecans over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 tp 30 minutes until just cooked.
Cool on a wire rack. Remove the brownies from the pan and cut into small pieces. Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with chocolate chips.
How Were the Turtle Brownies?
I HAD to taste test these. I had to. I wouldn't be a good baker if I didn't, right? I will tell you that they were very good. Fudgy chocolate brownie, sweet caramel sauce, crunchy walnuts and the semi sweet chocolate chips were just what they needed to cut the sweet.
I will be making these again. They were easy to make and really tasty.


Thoughtful folk ballads with soulful, hopeful, gospel blues.
"Crossover" is a wonderfull collection of songs from the heart of a wonderfull songwriter. "To The Fallen" is particulary touching to a Texan, and the uncle of a recent Texas A&M grad.
Great CD. Ruthie is quite the talent.
What a wonderful voice Ruthie Foster has. She is a very talented songwriter as well. Great CD. Thank you very much.
Beautiful, inspiring and not to be missed.
This is a great artist and wonderful CD. The music is beautiful, inspiring and not to be missed. I first heard Ruthie Foster at the Kate Wolfe Festival in 2004. I bought the CD there and wore it out listening to it, so I had to buy another! Ruthie Foster makes me want to sing at the top of my lungs--and I do, but only in the car.
The music on this CD shows us why Ruthie Foster's music appeals to all kinds of people. Something for everyone. Blues,Country,Reggae,Soul. Love it!
Recently I caught about 10 minutes of Ruthie Foster's appearance on Austin City Limits and was hooked. Her mix of gospel, soul, folk music is divine. I immediately went on a search to find her CD. I absolutely love Crossover and will be buying more of Ms. Foster's CDs.
Discovered Ruthie recently when she played a solo gig in SW England- we were completely blown away by her performances of her own songs and the traditional gospel and blues from her childhood.
I love the songs on this album- the production (or lack of it) allows the listener to appreciate the voice and songs in their simple beauty.
Thanks CdBaby for keeping the prices low, particularly the shipping costs- it means I can afford to buy more music and ship it to England!
Thanks for "To the Fallen" I heard it on KEOS and was really moved by it. Poetry can ease the pain from a tragedy and Aggieland needs more poets like Ruthie Foster!
My favorite song is Real Love, great vocals, great lyrics, and the arrangement is fantastic. I have bought another CD of Ruthie Foster's.

The Republic was written by Plato around 380 BC. It portrays a lengthy dialogue between Socrates, Thrasymachus, a noted sophist and teacher, and Plato's brothers, Glaucon and Adeimantus. Several others from Athens and elsewhere are present for the dialog including Polemarchus and his father Cephalus, the hosts of the evening gathering. The theme of the dialogue is justice. What makes a person just or unjust, and by extension, what makes a city-state just or unjust? Socrates offers a concept of justice having to do with how a person's soul is organised. The soul is made up of three parts: desire, thumos (or the spirited part), and wisdom. If these parts of the soul are organised rightly, each part doing what it does best like a well-functioning city-state, that soul is just, and as a result that person will be as happy as they can be in their particular circumstances. But if these parts of the soul are organised in a way that allows the wrong part to govern the personality, and thus the wrong motivations to dominate, the person will necessarily make the wrong choices, their behavior will be irrational, and Socrates argues they will be profoundly unhappy. Socrates points to the life of the tyrant to illustrate his point.

Tactile warning strips from Stromberg are made from GFRC, glass fiber reinforced concrete. They have the look and feel of natural stone and concrete and are built to last. GFRC tactile warning strips come in several different shapes, colors and sizes and are thin, lightweight and strong. Available colors include: yellow, brick red, gray, white limestone, black granite and other custom colors to suit different applications.
Stromberg has tactile warning strips for both regular and customized applications. GFRC tactile warning strips have a distinguishing surface of truncated domes that alert people with vision impairments of hazards and changes in the walking surface.
All of the above applications will benefit from Stromberg tactile warning strips in GFRC. These strips meet all of the American Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), as well as PROW and CA Title 24. When you choose GFRC tactile warning strips, you choose a high performance product that is compliant with all applicable codes and approved for use in all 50 states, as well as in all major municipalities, DPW's and state DOT's.
GFRC is cast in thin sections of about ½" to ¾". Because of this, it is lightweight, weighing much less than precast concrete, and easy to work with.
Stromberg GFRC is reinforced with glass fibers instead of steel; it can't rust and it doesn't need a protective concrete covering.
Glass fiber reinforced concrete is perfect for your tactile warning strip project because of its weather resistant properties. It can stand up to any kind of harsh climate: heavy rains, prolonged hours of sunlight and heavy pedestrian traffic.
GFRC is made of minerals and won't burn. It performs like a thermal regulator and protects any material behind it from the heat of a flame.
With 30 years of experience, Stromberg Architectural is the industry leader in GFRC. They pioneered its use and have completed 1400+ projects in which they've solved numerous design and construction challenges for their clients. Stromberg is here to help with design assistance and specifications; contact them at 903-454-0904 for your free custom quote. No job is too large or small, and they will see your project through to completion.


Would a four-day school week work in Western Washington?
Several Eastern Washington schools have made the switch to a four-day week and are pleased with the change. Will it ever catch on in Western Washington?
The four-day school week has gained popularity around the U.S., with several school districts in Washington state opting into the schedule. However, most of the schools operating on the schedule are in rural Eastern Washington districts, and experts say it's uncharted territory as to whether the concept would work in Western Washington.
The state legislature voted in 2009 to allow four-day school weeks, but with strict conditions: Only five districts in the state could operate a four-day school week at one time. Of those five districts, two could have student populations of under 150 students, and three could have between 150 and 500 students.
Based on those requirements, 2018 enrollment numbers show several dozen districts in Western Washington would qualify, most of which are on the Olympic Peninsula, in the southwest interior, or off Highway 2 in the Cascades.
On the west side of the mountains, the four-day school week hasn't taken off yet. Eatonville School District floated the idea of a four-day school week in 2011, but it never came to fruition.
Five school districts in Eastern Washington will operate on a four-day week this school year: Waterville School District in Douglas County, Selkirk and Cusick School Districts in Pend Oreille County, Paterson School District in Benton County, and Bickleton School District in Klickitat County.
Waterville, which is about 25 miles northeast of Wenatchee, is making the move to a four-day week this year to try and increase staff recruitment and retention, boost attendance, and improving the classroom experience.
Nationally, there are some larger school districts that have tried the concept, including several districts in Idaho and Colorado that are within 30 minutes of urban centers and two Georgia school districts that are partially consolidated and have over 10,000 students combined.
There's not a lot research on how those larger districts are faring under the system compared to smaller districts, according to Heyward. However, general research on the four-day school week has shown that discipline rates go down slightly, and families tend to be happy with the schedule change. Cost savings are a mixed bag, and in some instances, districts have ended up spending more than before the switch, according to Heyward.
The motivations for larger districts moving to a four-day week may also be different than small, rural districts. For example, districts in large, urban areas may be less concerned with long commute times, sports travel eating into class time, or attracting teachers.
Heyward said larger districts may see the schedule shift as a way to innovate though opportunities for internships or community college classes that may not be present in rural communities.

The Victorian State Trauma System (VSTS) provides support and retrieval services for critically injured patients requiring definitive care, transfer and management. This traumatic brain injury guideline provides advice on the initial management and transfer of major trauma patients who present to Victorian health services with severe injuries.
This guideline is developed for all clinical staff involved in the care of trauma patients in Victoria. It is intended for use by frontline clinical staff that provides early care for major trauma patients; those working directly at the Major Trauma Service (MTS) as well as those working outside of a MTS.
Traumatic brain injury is a significant cause of mortality in Australia.
Primary and secondary insults can result in significant injury and early management to prevent further brain injury should begin at the scene.
Minimising secondary brain injury is best achieved by avoiding periods of hypoxia or hypotension. Maintaining adequate ventilation and cerebral perfusion is essential.
Early activation of the retrieval process is crucial once it is identified that the patient has suffered a major trauma.
Time to definitive care at a neurosurgical specialist centre is crucial and ultimately may influence patient outcomes.

Q: configure function for tkinter I am trying to make a button change when it is pressed but the configure function when I use it returns the error:
A1.config(text="X", state="disabled", relief="SUNKEN")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'config'

I also tried using configure instead of config and the response is the same:
    A1.configure(text="X", state="disabled", relief="SUNKEN")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'configure'

(for reference)
the button:
A1 = Button(window,text="",width=5, height=1, command=click).place(x=100, y=100)

the command:
def click():
    A1.configure(text="X", state="disabled", relief="SUNKEN")

A: You can't define a variable and place it in the same line. Try this:
A1 = Button(window, text="", width=5, height=1)
A1.place(x=100, y=100)

also "SUNKEN" isn't valid, either do "sunken" or SUNKEN

Q: How does one transfer CUDA constant memory in tensorflow's C++ API Say I have a CUDA GPU kernel for a custom tensorlfow op that uses constant memory:
__constant__ int cdata[100];

__global__ void frobulate(float * data)
{
   int i = blockDim.x*blockIdx.x + threadIdx.x;
   float value = data[i];

   for(int j=0; j < 100; ++j) {
      value += cdata[i];
   }
}

Then, when implementing the Compute method in my Frobulate custom op
class Frobulate : public tensorflow::OpKernel
{
public:
    void Compute(OpKernelContext * context) override
    {
        ...
        // Get the current device
        const Device & device = context->eigen_device<Eigen::GpuDevice>();

        // Local, mutating version of constant data.
        // For illustration purposes only
        int local_data[100];
        // Reason about our local shape
        TensorShape local_shape(100);
        // Create a pointer to hold allocated output
        Tensor * pinned_ary_ptr = nullptr;

        // Allocate memory for the complex_phase,
        // I don't think allocate_output is correct here...
        // but we need pinned host memory for an async transfer
        OP_REQUIRES_OK(context, context->allocate_output(
          0, local_shape, &pinned_ary_ptr));

        for(int i=0; i<100; ++i)
           { pinned_ary_ptr[i] = local_data[i]; }

        // Get the symbol address of cdata and enqueue an
        // async transfer on the device's stream
        int * d_cdata_ptr;
        cudaGetSymbolAddress((void **)&d_cdata_ptr, &cdata);
        cudaMemcpyAsync(d_cdata_ptr, pinned_ary_ptr, sizeof(int)*100,
           cudaMemcpyHostToDevice, device.stream());

        // Call the kernel
        frobulate<<<grid, blocks, 0, device.stream()>>>(data);
    }
};

*

*Is this the right way to go about doing things? i.e. Ideally it would be good to make cdata an Input or Attr in my REGISTER_OP, but I don't think this will link up to the constant data correctly. I think the cudaGetSymbolAddress is necessary...

*Is it safe? i.e.  Will I interfere with tensorflow's GPU Stream Executor by enqueueing my own cuda commands and memcpys on the supplied stream?

*Is context->allocate_output the correct method to call to get some pinned memory? Looking in the tensorflow codebase suggests that there are temp and scratch allocators, but I don't know if they're exposed to the user...

Edit 1: Does this allocate pinned memory? (memory usually allocated with cudaHostAlloc, whose pages are pinned for DMA transfers to the GPU, i.e. they're prevented from being swapped out by the OS).
tensorflow::AllocatorAttributes pinned_allocator;
pinned_allocator.set_on_host(true);
pinned_allocator.set_gpu_compatible(true);

// Allocate memory for the constant data
OP_REQUIRES_OK(context, context->allocate_temp(
DT_UINT8, cdata_shape, &cdata_tensor,
pinned_allocator));

A: *

*Yes the cudaGetSymbolAddress is necessary. Constant memory is specific to the kernel and should not

*It should not. Just make sure that the sequence of operations in your stream execution are in the right order and synced up properly.

*Yes output is the memory that the kernel will write as the result of the operation. the scratch memory is mainly used for memory that you need just for a single operation of the kernel. Some cudnn kernels like the convolutions one, use it. See tensorflow/kernels/conv_ops.cc


Mumbai to Rameswaram distance is 1600 kms . Out of the 1 reviews shared by travellers, 100% prefer Train, respectively.
As there is only one train that goes from Madurai (the connecting station to Rameshwaram) from Mumbai, I searched for other options via train as road travel was not only expensive, tiring and long but also my family has motion sickness. After some research I found that we have daily train from Mumbai to Kerala reaching in 24 hours and likewise we have a daily train from Guruvayoor to Chennai which touches Madurai running daily. I booked from Mumbai to Trishur on Netravati Express and there on booked from Trishur to Madurai on Guruvayoor Express. Both trains are always on schedule and very clean and tidy.
Mumbai to Trishur was a breeze as I had often travelled in this route, it takes 24 hours and its very pleasant travel through Konkan route. The train is clean, pantry service above average, toilets are clean. The train passes through Ratnagiri, Chiplun, Marmagoa Kozhikode Shornur where you get ample time to dig into the local delicacies. The train reaches Trishur at around 12:30 hours and we had good 8 hours to move around Trishur, got freshen up, visit Vadakanathan temple and the vicinity before we checked out to move ahead.
this train again is clean, has a pantry and toilets clean. Here again the train passes through the large vast of farm land and you can have peacock sightings, the local South Indian delicacy and given a chance don't miss on the ginger sweet and the chikki. The train reached Madurai on time.
Madurai to Rameshwaram there is a passenger service thrice a day. One of the service is at 11:50 and we had planned to get on that train. While I went to take tickets (you cannot do advance booking for this) my family moved towards the train to avoid the rush.
This train journey is one of the major highlights of the entire journey. The train crossing the bridge "Pumbun Bridge" is a delight. It goes slow on the bridge allowing us to have all kinds of feelings, emotions, etc by the time you cross over.

Future bill " Vaccine pass Sent to State Council for comment. It will be submitted to the Council of Ministers on Monday for scrutiny by the Legislative Council on January 29, before the session hearing. Spreading the next Impact draft law " Strengthening tools to manage the health crisis .
On the way to the National Assembly this speech, the government " Intends to strengthen existing tools for managing the health crisis by replacing the existing Health Pass with the Vaccine Pass and further strengthening measures to combat fraud. He said in a statement.
If the law is passed, from January 15, 2021, the Health Pass " Vaccine pass "For" Access to leisure activities, restaurants and beverage companies, exhibitions, seminars and trade shows and regional transportation ". It applies to everyone under the age of 12. A PCR test or recovery certificate will no longer be sufficient.
Nevertheless, the current health pass must be maintained to access health facilities. Except for emergencies, it is about patients in planned care and accompanying persons or visitors. Health pass holder can not " Access to these services and organizations is denied only for reasons derived from the operating and safety rules of the institution or service, including health care. .
Vaccine pass and, in case of suspicion, identification document
Currently, Is not expected to provide official identification documents " When law enforcement officers need these, .
Jean-Jacques Bordin, Oliver Warren, was summoned by the Minister of Health on Wednesday Pointed out : We are going to put identity verification in the text, we are going to put the possibility of verification of identity in certain situations..

To justify these identity checks on individuals by other private individuals, the government, in addition to switching to the vaccine pass, " The health system (…) is under high stress, while interventions that should have been postponed during previous waves need to be republished and other viruses are actively spreading in the winter. .
In addition, " The effectiveness of the protection provided by the vaccine decreases over time, necessitating the injection of a booster dose to maintain adequate immunity, and more than one million people identified as at risk have not yet started the vaccination schedule. .
In the Omicron variant, " The first studies clearly reveal an infection than other strains in circulation "And report to admin" At least partial immunosuppression, although messenger ribonucleic acid vaccines appear to provide significant protection against severe forms, especially after a booster dose is given .

Q: Override virtual method with static method Is there any specific reason why I cannot override virtual method from base class with static one?
Anyone knows why it would be bad idea?
Example:
#include <cstdio>

class Foo
{
public:
    virtual void SomeMethod() = 0;
};

class Bar : public Foo
{
public:
    static void SomeMethod() override
    {
        printf("SomeMethod");
    }
};

void SomeFunctionWithFoo( Foo *p )
{
    p->SomeMethod();
}

int main()
{
    Bar o;

    o.SomeMethod();
    SomeFunctionWithFoo( &o );
    Bar::SomeMethod();
    o.StaticSomeMethod();
}

Instead I have to do this:
#include <cstdio>

class Foo
{
public:
    virtual void SomeMethod() = 0;
};

class Bar : public Foo
{
public:
    void SomeMethod() override
    {
        StaticSomeMethod();
    }

    static void StaticSomeMethod()
    {
        printf("SomeMethod");
    }
};

void SomeFunctionWithFoo( Foo *p )
{
    p->SomeMethod();
}

int main()
{
    Bar o;

    o.SomeMethod();
    SomeFunctionWithFoo( &o );
    Bar::StaticSomeMethod();

}

I think as long as you don't need to access member variables, your function can be static, so that it can serve behaviour without object. In the same time such static function can serve behaviour when using interface. But maybe I am wrong and I am missing something?
With one method and two classes, it is not problem, but I have case of 10 such methods inside class, and many classes that inherit.
In real world scenario, such possibility would make my code simpler.

A: Summary: member functions have an invisible first parameter that your static method doesn't have.
Details: Member functions (effectively) are effectively all static methods that have an "invisible" first parameter, which is the Bar* this parameter, which tells the method which instance of the class to use. So the signature of virtual void SomeMethod() is, under the covers, actually static void SomeMethod(Foo*), but static StaticSomeMethod() doesn't have the same number of parameters.
C++ is mostly able to pretend this parameter doesn't exist, but overrides are one case where it pops up. You also see it occur when trying to bind a member function to a std::function, where you have to explicitly pass the this as the first pointer.


Area-preserving mappings model the dynamics of such systems as forced pendulums and the dynamics of stars in galacties and the flow of magnetic field lines. StdMap displays the orbits of 13 different such mappings which exhibit chaotic and regular dynamics. With the program you can find periodic orbits, stable manifolds and invariant circles/cantori, and iterate arbitrary curves.

L'incidente ferroviario di Guardia Mangano fu uno scontro tra treni avvenuto alle ore 18:40 del 15 dicembre 1912 nella stazione ferroviaria di Guardia Mangano, sulla linea delle FS Messina-Catania.

Dinamica
Il treno merci facoltativo n. 913 diretto a Catania si trovava in sosta sul terzo binario della stazione in attesa dell'incrocio con il treno diretto n. 116 proveniente da Siracusa e diretto a Roma, che avrebbe dovuto arrivare alle 17.53. Alle ore 18:40 il treno diretto, in notevole ritardo, giungeva a velocità sostenuta dovendo essere ricevuto sul primo binario di corretto tracciato per il servizio viaggiatori. Per errore del personale della stazione il deviatoio di ingresso lato Acireale fu lasciato in posizione di deviata verso il terzo binario. Il treno diretto, in testa al quale vi erano due locomotive a vapore impattò violentemente contro la locomotiva del treno merci. La carrozza pullman si incastrò nella vettura ristorante che a sua volta per il contraccolpo sfondò le due successive. La locomotiva del diretto, il bagagliaio e la vettura di terza classe furono gravemente danneggiate. La carrozza mista di prima e seconda classe si frantumò mentre quella ristorante si spezzò dopo essere sviata.

Sul posto giunsero sollecitamente ambulanze e soccorritori, autorità civili e militari. Vennero poi fatti affluire treni di soccorso. La mattina del giorno successivo giunsero 160 militari per lo sgombero dei rottami.

Vittime
Perdevano la vita 15 persone e ne rimanevano seriamente ferite oltre 30.
La maggior parte delle vittime tra i passeggeri furono nella vettura ristorante, oltre al personale ferroviario, il macchinista e il fuochista del treno diretto. I feriti più gravi vennero trasportati all'ospedale di Acireale, il più vicino, mentre gli altri all'ospedale Garibaldi di Catania.
