uvc command
uvc - Interface to UVC cameras using libuvc
package require tcluvc
uvc option?arg...?
This command provides several operations to interface UVC USB cameras using the infrastructure provided by libuvc and libusb which is available on common Linux, FreeBSD, and MacOSX platforms and sometimes found working on Android devices. option indicates what to carry out. Any unique abbreviation for option is acceptable. The valid options are:
uvc close devid
Closes the device identified by devid which has been opened before using uvc open.
uvc convmode devid?flag?
Reports or modifies the conversion mode for frames acquired from the opened device identified by devid. Conversion mode 1 (on/true) performs frame format/color space conversions in the special UVC thread which controls the USB transfers, mode 0 (off/false) does this instead in the normal Tcl event loop. The default mode is 1.
uvc counters devid
Reports a three element list of statistic counters on the device identified by devid. The first element is the number of video frames received, the second the number of video frames processed with uvc image, and the third the number of video frames dropped.
uvc devices
Returns device information which can be used for uvc open as a list. Each device adds three elements to the list: the first element is the device name as a colon separated string with two or three fields being vendor ID (hexadecimal, 0x prefix is optional), product ID (hexadecimal, 0x prefix is optional), and bus/device numbers separated by a dot; the second and third list elements are the vendor name, and the product name. To open the device, its name (the colon separated string) must be used, the other two items are available for presentation purposes. If udev support is available (Linux specific), this list is refreshed on plug and unplug of devices. Otherwise, the list is a snapshot of suitable devices currently connected.
uvc format devid?index fps?
Returns or changes the frame format of the device identified by devid. The optional parameter index is an integer number giving the index of the frame format returned in uvc listformats. The optional parameter fps is the frame rate. If omitted, the currently active index and frame rate are returned. Changing the frame format and rate is only possible if the device is not capturing images.
uvc greyshift devid?shift?
Returns or sets the bit shift to be applied on grey images with a bit depth higher than 8 which are captured from device devid. The default value is 4, which is suitable for greyscale cameras with 12 bit resolution. The shift is not applied when the image subcommand retrieves raw byte array data.
uvc image devid?photoImage?
Copies the most recent captured image of the device devid into the photo image identified by photoImage and returns non-zero on success or zero if no data transfer has taken place. If photoImage is omitted, a four element list is returned with the first element being the image width, the second the image height, the third the number of bytes per pixel, and the last the image's RGB values with 3 bytes per pixel in red, green, blue order as a byte array. In this case an error is indicated by throwing an exception.
uvc info?devid?
Returns information on open devices. If devid is specified, a list of two elements is returned, the first being the device nameand the second the image callback command for that device, i.e. the same arguments which were used on uvc open. If devid is omitted, a list of devids, i.e. all currently opened devices is returned.
uvc listen?callback?
Retrieves or sets the callback command called on plug and unplug of devices. When a device is plugged or unplugged that callback is invoked with two additional arguments: the type of event (add or remove) and the device name (see uvc devices for the naming convention) which was added or removed. Only usable if udev support is available.
uvc listformats devid
Returns a dictionary keyed by a format index as integer with the values being another dictionary with information about the frame size and rate of the respective frame format. The returned indices can be used in in uvc format to switch to another frame size and/or to change the frame rate.
uvc mbcopy bytearray1 bytearray2 mask
Copies the content of RGB byte array bytearray2 into the byte array bytearray1 using an RGB mask. Both byte arrays must have identical length which must be a multiple of 3 (for RGB). The main purpose of this command is to combine images from two cameras into an anaglyph 3D, where (for a red-cyan anaglyph) the left camera image uses mask 0xFF0000 (red component) and the right camera image uses mask 0x00FFFF (green and blue components).
uvc mcopy photo1 photo2 mask
Copies the content of the photo image photo2 into the photo image photo1 using an ARGB mask. Both photo images must have identical width, height, and depth. The main purpose of this command is to combine images from two cameras into an anaglyph 3D, where (for a red-cyan anaglyph) the left camera image uses mask 0x00FF0000 (red component) and the right camera image uses mask 0x0000FFFF (green and blue components).
uvc mirror devid?x y?
Retrieves or sets flags to mirror captured images along the X or Y axis. Parameters x and y if specified must be boolean values.
uvc open devname callback
Opens the device with device name devname and establishes callback as command to be invoked on captured images and finally returns a devid, i.e. a handle to further deal with the device. An additional parameter is appended when callback is invoked: the devid of the device. For the format of devname see the description of uvc devices.
uvc orientation devid?degrees?
Retrieves or sets the orientation of captured images regarding image rotation. degrees if specified must be an integer number.
uvc parameters devid?key value...?
Returns or changes device parameters for the device identified by devid given as key-value pairs, e.g. brightness 100 will change the brightness setting of captured images to the device dependent value 100. The command returns the current device parameters (after the potential change, when keys and values were given) as a key-value list which can be processed with array set or dict get.
uvc record devid frame width height bpp bytearray
Transcodes the frame described by width, height, bpp, and bytearray to JPEG and writes the result to the recording file or stream. The recording must have been started with the -user option. An integer number is returned as result: 1 indicates successful write, 0 no write due to frame rate constraints, and -1 an error during the write.
uvc record devid pause
Pauses recording to a file or stream.
uvc record devid resume
Continues recording to a file or stream.
uvc record devid start options...
Starts recording to a file or stream. options control the data format, frames per second, and output channel. The option -fps specifies the approximate rate in frames per second as a floating point number. The option -chan specifies the channel to which the frames are written. This channel is detached from the Tcl interpreter and controlled solely by the uvc record command. The -boundary option specifies a MIME multipart boundary string and selects the MIME type multipart/x-mixed-replace suitable for streaming to a web browser. The content type delivered to the browser is image/jpeg. If the -boundary option is omitted, the output format is raw AVI and requires the channel to be seekable. The option -mjpeg forces the recorded data to JPEG format, i.e. a transcoding to JPEG will be performed in software, if the device doesn't already deliver a JPEG stream. The option -user turns off automatic frame write operations to the recording file or stream when a frame is delivered from the device. Instead, uvc record devid frame must be invoked in the callback function. The -user option implies -mjpeg.
uvc record devid state
Returns the current recording state as stop, recording, pause, or error. The state error indicates a write error on the file or stream. In this case no further frames will be written.
uvc record devid stop
Finishes recording to a file or stream and closes the underlying channel.
uvc start devid
Starts capturing images of the device identified by devid. When an image is ready, the callback command set on uvc open is invoked.
uvc state devid
Returns the image capture state of the device identified by devid. The result is the string capture if the device is started, stopped if the device is stopped, or error if an error has been detected while image capture was active.
uvc stop devid
Stop capturing images of the device identified by devid.
uvc tophoto width height bpp bytearray?rot mirrorx mirrory?
Makes the RGB (bpp is 3) or gray (bpp is 1) byte array bytearray of width times height pixels into a Tk photo image. Optionally, the data is rotated by rot degrees (possible values 0, 90, 180, 270) and/or mirrored along the X and/or Y axis as specified by the boolean values mirrorx and mirrory.
The uvc command tries to lazy load Tk, thus allowing to use it from

In Hong Kong, child poverty is a serious social problem which may lead to intergenerational poverty, but nevertheless only a few studies have examined this issue, particularly for immigrant families. Using Census data (5 %) from 1981, 1991, 2001, and 2011, we assessed child poverty rates in the past three decades and identified key variables contributing to changes in the risk of child poverty for both immigrant and local families. Our results indicate that child poverty rates in Hong Kong-born families have fluctuated between 14.3 and 15.8 % over the past three decades, while for immigrant families they have increased steadily and substantially from 18.1 % in 1981 to 36.5 % in 2001 and then to 37.5 % in 2011. We show that the increase in immigrant child poverty is associated with changes in the Hong Kong economy that have made it more difficult for such families to adapt to the host society, especially in the 1990s and that this negative effect offset the positive influence of compositional changes among this group of immigrant families in terms of parental education levels and family size. The gap between immigrant and local families in terms of child poverty risk is mainly due to the fact that during the 1990s the negative effect of contextual changes in Hong Kong was cancelled out by the beneficial impact of compositional changes for local families, but not for immigrant families where the latter effect was minimal.

How to Throw A Safe And Healthy Super Bowl Party
The Super Bowl is right around the corner, and as parties are being planned, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure that things stay safe, healthy and fun. Here you'll find some helpful tips to help you plan a great Super Bowl party for friends and family.
While Super Bowl parties and alcohol usually go hand in hand, it's important to remember that these events do not need to revolve around drinking. This is important for a number of reasons.
- First, the Super Bowl is held during the winter, a time of year when many people suffer from the winter blues. And even though parties are usually happy occasions, alcohol can cause a person's depression to become worse.
- Next, there are certain groups of people who shouldn't drink alcohol. Pregnant women, diabetics and those with liver, kidney or pancreas problems shouldn't drink at all.
- Last, drinking alcohol can lead to people engaging in unsafe behavior. The reason is because alcohol causes people to lower their inhibitions and do things they ordinarily wouldn't do, while impairing a person's judgment. Driving under the influence and teenage drinking are two of the dangers of having a Super Bowl party centered on alcohol.
Having alcohol at a Super Bowl party is fine, but there are some safety precautions that should be followed:
- Always use a designated driver. If no one is available to take intoxicated party guests home, then party hosts should have room available for party guests to stay for the night.
- Remember that the body can metabolize about one drink per hour, so as long as someone sticks to just one drink an hour, they can avoid the majority of the intoxicating affects. One drink is one beer, one glass of wine or one ounce of hard liquor.
- Party hosts should have non-alcoholic drinks available for those who choose not to drink and those who are drinking should alternate between alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to avoid getting drunk.
Party hosts should make sure that whatever fare they serve is healthy. Many Super Bowl parties feature pizza and wings, but these party staples are loaded with fat, salt and have little nutritional benefit. Instead party hosts should be sure that the food they serve follows these healthy guidelines:
- Include fresh fruit and vegetables, such as carrot sticks, apple wedges, and broccoli florets. This will vary based upon what is in season and locally available.
- Offer low-fat or non-fat dressings and dips.
- Offer lean forms of protein and consider some vegetarian/vegan options.
- Make sure that food is low in calories, fat, sugar and sodium
- Be aware of any special dietary needs such as diabetes or those on restricted diets and be sure to have selections available that meet those needs.
- Always follow food safety guidelines, such as proper holding temperatures, avoiding cross contamination and hand washing.
Americans are notorious for their sedentary lifestyles, so during half time and commercial breaks, get moving. Physical activity doesn't have to be hard to be effective. Something as simple as throwing the pig skin in the yard during commercial breaks or dancing along with the half-time show will do the trick. It doesn't have to be difficult or complicated, just get moving.
Since the Super Bowl takes place during the winter, staying warm is essential, especially during outdoor tailgating parties, although it can also get cold inside as well. Hypothermia can occur extremely quickly and can be life threatening. There are a number of ways to stay warm during Super Bowl parties.
- Wear appropriate clothing. Loose layers with the outer layer being wind and waterproof will help keep party goers warm outdoors. Dressing warmly is also important if someone is going to be indoors, since people going in and out can cause the temperature in a room to drop, causing people to become chilled.
- Keep the amount of exposed skin to a minimum. Wear hats, mittens or gloves, and scarves to keep as much heat in as possible.
- Drink warm liquids and eat warm foods. Avoid alcohol and caffeine because these can cause the body to lose heat faster.
- Look for unique ways to get warm. Air activated warmers are extremely helpful in warming the body and are available in a variety of sizes and are inexpensive.
No matter if someone is tailgating at the big game or partying at home, following basic safety rules is important.
- Always have a fire extinguisher and first aid kit on hand. Injuries and fires occur when people least expect them.
- Avoid any clothing, no matter how festive, that blocks the ability to see or move freely.
- Never leave children or pets unattended and be sure that the excitement isn't too much for them. Often pets can be especially fearful in new situations that may startle them.
- Never use grills, generators or any other appliance that uses gasoline, propane or charcoal inside an enclosed area. This can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning as well as fires.
- Be sure that heaters are not near anything that will catch fire.
Super Bowl parties are great fun, but people should always party safe. By following these guidelines, Super Bowl party goers can cheer for their favorite team, while staying healthy and safe.


Problems understanding TTrees and TFiles
Hi,
I'm very new to ROOT, and I am having a huge amount of trouble trying to understand TTrees, TFiles, Events and their relationship to one another.
From the examples, I cannot see how you attach a TTree to a specific file. The examples show how to create a file, then how to create a tree, but the tree never references the file. I cannot work out how to get a particular tree to be stored in a certain file.
The code below is what I am trying to get working. I am reading in large amounts of text from a file, creating my event, and then want to store the event in a .ROOT file (the name of the file is dependant on certain attributes of the record I have read in from the text file).
So to summarise, I have already created my event (pEvent), and just want to store it in a tree in a certain file. The following throws an exeption no matter what I try.
// Create a ROOT File
TFile hfile(strRootFile,"RECREATE","Data");
// Create a ROOT Tree
TTree tree(strRootTree,"A Root tree");
TBranch *eventBranch = tree.GetBranch( strRootTree );
if( eventBranch == NULL )
{
eventBranch = tree.Branch( strRootClass, strRootClass, pEvent, 32000, 99);
}
tree.Fill();
Any help is very welcome.
All the best,
Tony.
if pEvent is a pointer to say MyEvent, you should pass the address of the pointer and not the value of the pointer, ie replace
TBranch *eventBranch = tree.GetBranch( strRootTree ); if( eventBranch == NULL ) { eventBranch = tree.Branch( strRootClass, strRootClass, pEvent, 32000, 99); } by
Rene
Many thanks, that seems to have got me going again.
All the best,
Tony.
Hi again,
Can you advise me a little more? I have a function below, I am not certain it is what I want it to do.
Basically I have an event (pEvent) and want to put it into a certain file on a certain branch. I have the file name and branch name, but I cannot figure out from the ROOT help/documentation how to make sure my event gets stored in the correct place.
I am totally lost at the moment.
All the best and thanks in advance for any assistance.
Tony.[code]void CROOTFileManager::Add(CMyEvent *pEvent)
{
//first get the filename needed, and then see if we have the file open.
//if open, append,
//if not open, create and add
CStdString strRootFile = pEvent->GetROOTFileAsString();
CStdString strRootTree = pEvent->GetROOTTreeAsString();
CStdString strRootClass = pEvent->GetROOTClassAsString();
TTree *tree = NULL;
TFile *hfile = NULL;
TBranch *eventBranch = NULL;
int nFile = m_FileNames.Find(strRootFile);
if ( nFile != -1 )
{
 //get the file pointer
 hfile = m_FilePtrs.GetAt(nFile);
 tree = m_TreePtrs.GetAt(nFile);
 eventBranch = m_BranchPtrs.GetAt(nFile);
}
else
{
 //first check to see if the file we want exists.
 hfile = new TFile(strRootFile,"UPDATE","Data");
 if ( hfile == NULL )
 {
 // Create a ROOT File
 hfile = new TFile(strRootFile,"RECREATE","Data");
 // Create a ROOT Tree
 tree = new TTree(strRootTree,strRootClass);
 }
 else
 {
 // Create a ROOT Tree
 tree = (TTree*)hfile->Get(strRootTree);
 if ( tree == NULL )
 {
 // Create a ROOT Tree
 tree = new TTree(strRootTree,"");
 }
 }
 eventBranch = tree->GetBranch( strRootClass );
 if( eventBranch == NULL )
 {
 eventBranch = tree->Branch( strRootClass, strRootClass, &pEvent, 32000, 99);
 }
 m_FileNames.Add(strRootFile);
 m_FilePtrs.Add(hfile);
 m_TreePtrs.Add(tree);
 m_BranchPtrs.Add(eventBranch);
}
tree->Fill();
}[/code]
When you pass the pointer to your object (&pEvent), the branch retains this address (as it is used by the branch to (potentially) pass information back to you).
However the address you pass to the branch is transient (as it is on the stack).
So you need to correct your code in the following way:[code]void CROOTFileManager::Add(CMyEvent *pEvent)
{
//first get the filename needed, and then see if we have the file open.
//if open, append,
//if not open, create and add
CStdString strRootFile = pEvent->GetROOTFileAsString();
CStdString strRootTree = pEvent->GetROOTTreeAsString();
CStdString strRootClass = pEvent->GetROOTClassAsString();
TTree *tree = NULL;
TFile *hfile = NULL;
TBranch *eventBranch = NULL;
int nFile = m_FileNames.Find(strRootFile);
if ( nFile != -1 )
{
//get the file pointer
hfile = m_FilePtrs.GetAt(nFile);
tree = m_TreePtrs.GetAt(nFile);
eventBranch = m_BranchPtrs.GetAt(nFile);
}
else
{
//first check to see if the file we want exists.
hfile = new TFile(strRootFile,"UPDATE","Data");
if ( hfile == NULL )
{
// Create a ROOT File
hfile = new TFile(strRootFile,"RECREATE","Data");
 // Create a ROOT Tree
 tree = new TTree(strRootTree,strRootClass);
 }
 else
 {
 // Create a ROOT Tree
 tree = (TTree*)hfile->Get(strRootTree);
 if ( tree == NULL )
 {
 // Create a ROOT Tree
 tree = new TTree(strRootTree,"");
 }
 }
 eventBranch = tree->GetBranch( strRootClass );
 if( eventBranch == NULL )
 {
 eventBranch = tree->Branch( strRootClass, strRootClass, &pEvent, 32000, 99);
 }
 m_FileNames.Add(strRootFile);
 m_FilePtrs.Add(hfile);
 m_TreePtrs.Add(tree);
 m_BranchPtrs.Add(eventBranch);
}
tree->SetBranchAddress(strRootClass, &pEvent); // Always set the address to the 'current' location[Code Added]
tree->Fill();
tree->ResetBranchAddresses(); // Forget stack addresses }
Cheers,
Philippe.

Getting Started With the Fabric Python Library
Fabric is a Python library and command-line tool for streamlining the use of SSH for application deployment or systems administration tasks. Fabric is very simple and powerful and can help to automate repetitive command-line tasks. This approach can save time by automating your entire workflow.
This tutorial will cover how to use Fabric to integrate with SSH and automate tasks.
Installation
Fabric is best installed via pip:
Getting Started With Fabric
Usage
Below is a simple function demonstrating how to use Fabric.
The program above is then saved as fabfile.py in your current working directory. The welcome function can be executed with the fab tool as follows:
Fabric provides the fab command which reads its configuration from a file, fabfile.py. The file should be in the directory from which the command is run. A standard fabfile contains the functions to be executed on a remote host or a group of remote hosts.
Features
Fabric implements functions which can be used to communicate with remote hosts:
fabric.operations.run()
This operation is used to run a shell command on a remote host.
Examples
fabric.operations.get()
This function is used to download file(s) from a remote host. The example below shows how to download a backup from a remote server.
fabric.operations.put()
This functions uploads file(s) to a remote host. For example:
fabric.operations.reboot()
As the name suggests, this function reboots a system server.
fabric.operations.sudo()
This function is used to execute commands on a remote host with superuser privileges. Additionally, you can also pass an additional user argument which allows you to run commands as another user other than root.
Example
fabric.operations.local()
This function is used to run a command on the local system. An example is:
fabric.operations.prompt()
The function prompts the user with text and returns the input.
Examples
fabric.operations.require()
This function is used to check for given keys in a shared environment dict. If not found, the operation is aborted.
SSH Integration
One of the ways developers interact with remote servers besides FTP clients is through SSH. SSH is used to connect to remote servers and do everything from basic configuration to running Git or initiating a web server.
With Fabric, you can perform SSH activities from your local computer.
The example below defines functions that show how to check free disk space and host type. It also defines which host will run the command:
In order to run this code, you will need to run the following command on the terminal:
Output
Automating Tasks
Fabric enables you to run commands on a remote server without needing to log in to the remote server.
Remote execution with Fabric can lead to security threats since it requires an open SSH port, especially on Linux machines.
For instance, let's assume you want to update the system libraries on your remote server. You don't necessarily need to execute the tasks every other time. You can just write a simple fab file which you will run every time you want to execute the tasks.
In this case, you will first import the Fabric API's module:
Define the remote host you want to update:
Set the username of the remote host:
Although it's not recommended, you might need to specify the password to the remote host.
Lastly, define the function that updates the libraries in your remote host.
Now that your fab file is ready, all you need to do is execute it as follows:
You should see the following result:
If you didn't define the password, you will be prompted for it.
After the program has finished executing the defined commands, you will get the following response, if no errors occur:
Conclusion
This tutorial has covered what is necessary to get started with Fabric locally and on remote hosts. You can now confidently start writing your own scripts for building, monitoring or maintaining remote servers.

Ferroic classifications extended to ferrotoroidic crystals
D. B. Litvin
Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
31 Scopus citations
Abstract
Aizu's characterization of the 773 species of phase transitions by magnetization, polarization and strain is extended to include characterization by the recently observed toroidal moment. The resulting distinction quadruplet characterization is then used to classify the species into sub-ensembles, extending Schmid's concept of ensembles of species to include classification by toroidal moments. Tables are given of the distinction quadruplet characterization of each species and the species in each ensemble and sub-ensemble. The form of primary and secondary ferroic property tensors invariant under the 122 magnetic point groups have also been tabulated for use in determining the characterization of species and possible domain switching. In both cases, physical property tensors related to the toroidal moment are included.

Listed properties and EPC assessments
John Conlin / 21 February 2017
Chartered surveyor John Conlin explains why listed buildings don't have EPC assessments.
We are house hunting at the moment and ideally would like a period property but are concerned about running costs.
I have noticed that listed properties do not appear to have EPC assessments whilst unlisted properties of similar age do.
Why is this?
John Conlin: Buying a listed house - how liable am I?
There are two reasons.
Firstly, the assessment calculation uses fixed heat loss values for various standard forms of construction (eg cavity brickwork, solid brickwork, rendering etc) which would not be accurate for the mix of older construction and materials.
Secondly, the primary aim of an EPC is to suggest ways of improving energy conservation most of which involve changes that would not be acceptable (eg double glazing) for a listed building.

I have a two-server queue with Poisson arrival rate and $\lambda$ exponential services with $\mu$ ( first server service rate) and 2$\mu$ ( 2nd server service rate). Capacity is infinite.
Then why is the number of customers in the queue at time $t$ not a Markov Process?
Can you please help me out?
Thank You.

1 Answer 1
You need extra information to make the process a Markov process. The Markov property requires that the future depend only on the current state, but suppose you have only a single customer in the system. The future behaviour of the system depends on the history of the process (namely which server that job started service with) not just the current state. (It could experience service at rate either $\mu$ or $2\mu$.)

An underground solution for a collapsed hydraulic conduit affected by an active landslide in Costa Rica
In a hydroelectric plant in northern Costa Rica, affected by major landslides, an evaluation was required to assess the possibility of stabilizing the ground to save the pipeline. The rate of displacement of the ground in the pipe vicinity has reached the maximum of 10 cm per month, which directly affects the pipeline, which has had to realign several times to keep operating. However, the magnitude of the movements is such that the risk of operation output rose significantly. The geotechnical study carried out indicated that the possible ground stabilization measures are extremely expensive, so it was proposed to build a new pipeline completely underground, through a vertical shaft 50 meters deep and a tunnel of 585 m length. This article discusses the condition of the land and the analysis and design of the underground structure proposed as solution to the problem.


text: The non-linear free vibration behavior of functionally graded (FG) orthotropic cylindrical shell interacting with the two-parameter elastic foundation is investigated. The major goal of this research was to obtain a solution for the non-linear frequencies associated with the problem outlined above. The dynamic stability and compatibility equations of FG orthotropic cylindrical shells surrounded by an elastic foundation are derived within the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and von Karman strain displacement relationships, and then superposition and Galerkin methods are adopted to convert the above equations into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. The expression for non-linear frequency of FG orthotropic cylindrical shell surrounded by an elastic foundation within the FSDT is obtained using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). In particular, similar expression in the framework of the classical shell theory (CST) is obtained, also. The results are compared and validated with the results available in the literature. Finally, the calculation and presentation of the effect of many parameters included in the analysis conclude the goals to be reached in the study. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The Lower Market above c1920 was one of two exceptional neo-Classical market buildings constructed in Exeter in the 1830s. The other was the Higher Market in Queen Street. In 1833 the city authorities decided to gather Exeter's many street markets into two separate market halls. The Lower Market, or Western Market, was the first of the two to be completed and was designed to cater primarily for the city's butchers (formerly located at Butchers' Row in Smythen Street since the end of the 15th century). A room was allocated above the main entrance to function as a Corn Exchange. The Higher Market was used for poultry, fish and vegetables.
The Lower Market was designed by Charles Fowler, born in Cullompton in 1792 and already the renowned architect of the former vegetable market at Covent Garden in London. Work began in 1835 on a site at the top of Fore Street, extending back from Fore Street itself to truncate Smythen Street as it ascended towards South Street and demolishing the medieval Butchers' Row which stood within the footprint of the new market building.
The photograph right shows the huge colonnaded hall of the Lower Market prior to 1942. The high clerestory windows, arched arcades, aisles and barrel ceiling, supported on pillars of granite, were reminiscent of a Roman basilica. During the excavations for the Lower Market's foundations, a Roman medal was unearthed. In a truly remarkable coincidence, on one side of the medal was the head of the Emperor Nero and on the other was a depiction of a building not dissimilar to the Lower Market itself. The Roman medal had itself been struck to commemorate the construction of a meat market in Rome 1700 years earlier. This discovery inspired the Exeter Corporation to issue their own medal to memorialise the creation of the Lower Market. Fashioned out of bronze, one side of the medal featured the facade of the Lower Market and on the reverse were the three-towered emblem of Exeter.
The image left shows the Lower Market on a street plan of 1904 overlaid onto an aerial photograph of the post-war city. The market is highlighted in red. The area shown was comprehensively bombed in 1942 but the market building could've been salvaged and the ruins stood for many years after the war. The market building was bounded by Milk Street to the east, Guinea Street to the south, Market Street to the west and Fore Street to the north. The Fore Street frontage was much narrower than the full width of the building. The market was finally completed in 1836 and opened for business on 9 December the same year. During the building of the Lower Market the public water conduit in South Street was relocated to a little square in Milk Street where it was marked by the construction of a stone obelisk. The square was actually created by the demolition of buildings on the corner of Milk Street and George Street.
It was a colossal building of which the city at the time appears to have been justly proud. There were two entrances, one through the main facade in Guinea Street and one through the narrower facade that faced onto Fore Street. The magnificent Guinea Street facade (shown at the top of this post) consisted of a row of high arches flanked at the ends by two partially rusticated large towers surmounted by low pyramidal roofs. A neo-classical pediment marked the full height of the hall inside.
In the words of Professor A. E. Richardson, who wrote about the Lower Market in an edition of 'The Architectural Review' in 1920, the Guinea Street elevation showed "the fine scale of the building, the refinement of the ornament, the originality of the conception, and the correctness of expression, for it is unmistakeably a market and nothing else." Over the Fore Street entrance Charles Fowler had incised his own name. Italian composition and Greek detail merged to create "a building both monumental and useful".
The narrower facade in Fore Street right was supported on four rusticated square columns, topped by sculpted bulls' heads and wreaths, above which were three arched windows which gave light into the first floor Corn Exchange. Above these were a series of smaller arched windows, the whole being crowned with a neo-Classical pediment, the tympanum dominated by a large representation of the coat of arms of Exeter.
The Lower Market remained in use until 4 May 1942 when it was gutted by fire following the bombing of the city during World War Two. The roof and the interior were totally destroyed but most of the external walls remained standing. The local historian, W. G. Hoskins, wrote that the Lower Market "stood in its ruin after 1942 like a piece of ancient Rome: indeed one could imagine oneself among the ruined public buildings of the fifth century in Exeter". As with Bedford Circus, the Lower Market could've been reconstructed had the local authority been willing to do so.
The photograph right © Express & Echo dates to 1953, eleven years after the Exeter Blitz. It shows reconstruction work in South Street going on in the foreground and in the background, highlighted in red, are the considerable remains of the Lower Market. In fact the ruined shell of the building stood until 1960. Structurally, the remains of the gutted exterior were sound but, along with almost every other city centre building damaged in the 1942 air-raid, the Lower Market was comprehensively demolished. Its huge granite blocks were torn down and thrown into the river to help shore up a riverbank.
Even more extraordinary then was the dismal building which eventually arose almost on the same footprint of the Lower Market itself in 1960: St George's Hall and Market, a large function room with an accompanying market. Like all of the post-war reconstruction, the resulting building was a total break with the historical pre-war character of Exeter. Even the city council's own conservation area report states that the buildings are "undistinguished and make no attempt to fit into the context of historic Fore Street". It was designed by the city council's own in-house architect H. B. Rowe and is described by Pevsner and Cherry as "a rather tatty effort in a belated Festival of Britain spirit". Unfortunately there's nothing remotely festive about it. It's one of the post-war buildings in Exeter which I particularly dislike. As with a number of other post-war eyesores in the city, trees have been planted outside to try and disguise it. St George's Hall and market remained as a market until several years ago when it was 'rebranded' as The Corn Exchange, although any comparison with the great Corn Exchange buildings at Leeds or Bristol will be short-lived once you see the feeble and inappropriate structure which sits now on the site of the Lower Market.

ActiveSQL SqlGroup groups rows from a DataLayer, and allows aggregate values to be created. For example, suppose you have an Orders Table and you would like to list only the individual sales person associated with the orders. You would select something like EmployeeID as the grouping column. If you want to get a count of all orders for each employee, you would add a Group Aggregate Column with the function "COUNT". Alternatively, a "SUM" aggregate could provide the total sales for each employee.
Rows are grouped by values based on one or more columns of the DataLayer. Enter the grouping column name(s) in the GroupColumn attribute. Separate multiple column names with commas.
The Group can either keep just the first row from each group, or it can keep all groups. See the KeepGroupedRows attribute.

Why would you set-up a backup?
In the case that you lose your data you can easily import your backupdata back into Salesforce. To generate backup data, Salesforce offers an automated backup export on a weekly or monthly basis depending on your edition. You can export all your organization's data into a set of comma-separated values (CSV) files.
What to take into account before setting up an automated backup
- Users with the "Weekly Export" permission can view all exported data and all custom objects and fields in the Export Service page. This permission is granted by default only to the System Administrator profile because it enables wide visibility.
- Selecting 'Include images', documents, and attachments' and 'Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions' increases data export processing time.
How to setup an automated backup export
- From Setup, enter Data Export in the Quick Find box, then select Data Export and Schedule Export.
- Select the desired encoding for your export file.
- Select Include images, documents, and attachments and Include Chatter files and Salesforce CRM Content document versions to include these items in your export data.
- Select Replace carriage returns with spaces to have spaces instead of carriage returns or line breaks in your export files. This selection is useful if you plan to use your export files for importing or other integrations.
- If you're scheduling your export, select the frequency (only available for organizations with monthly exports), start and end dates, and time of day for your export.
- Under Exported Data, select the types of data to include in your export. We recommend that you select Include all data if you are not familiar with the terminology used for some of the types of data. Note the following:
- Formula and roll-up summary fields are always excluded from exports.
- If your organization uses divisions, data from all divisions is included in the export.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting accounts, all account fields are included in the account data.
- If your organization uses person accounts and you are exporting contacts, person account records are included in the contact data. However, the contact data only includes the fields shared by contacts and person accounts.
- For information on field limitations, see the Salesforce Field Reference Guide.
- Click Start Export or Save.
Salesforce creates a zip archive of CSV files and emails you when it's ready. Exports complete as soon as possible, however we can't guarantee the date and time of completion. Large exports are broken up into multiple files. Follow the link in the email or click Data Export to download the zip file. Zip files are deleted 48 hours after the email is sent. The 48-hour time limit doesn't include weekends, so if your download file is ready on Thursday at 4 p.m., that file isn't deleted until Monday at 4 p.m.


text: The history of Baja California has been closely tied to the exploitation of pearls since the 16th century. Using rudimentary diving techniques for most of this era, European and Mexican entrepreneurs recovered vast amounts of fine, dark pearls from this region. However, years of overfishing inevitably led to decades when the oyster beds were all but barren. Introduction of the diving suit in the 19th century extended the depth of the beds that could be fished, but overexploitation continued largely unchecked. Cultivation of the pearl oyster Pinctadamazatlanica by Gaston Vives, between 1903 and 1914, greatly slowed exhaustion of the natural stock. His company, CCCP, represented the world's first large-scale cultivation of pearl oysters, and many of Vives's discoveries are used today in renewed pearl-oyster cultivation and pearl-culturing activities in Baja California.

This would be its equivalent:
// example for ViewHolder
@Test
fun snapViewHolderTest() {
 val activityScenario =
 ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForView()
 .setFontSize(FontSize.NORMAL)
 .setLocale("en")
 .setInitialOrientation(Orientation.PORTRAIT)
 .setUiMode(UiMode.DAY)
 .setTheme(R.style.Custom_Theme)
 .setDisplaySize(DisplaySize.SMALL)
 .launchConfiguredActivity()
 val activity = activityScenario.waitForActivity()
 // IMPORTANT: To inherit the configuration, inflate layout inside the activity with its context
 val layout = activity.inflateAndWaitForIdle(R.layout.your_view_holder_layout)
 // wait asynchronously for layout inflation
 val viewHolder = waitForView {
 YourViewHolder(layout).apply {
 // bind data to ViewHolder here
 ...
 }
 }
 compareScreenshot(
 holder = viewHolder,
 heightInPx = layout.height,
 name = "your_unique_test_name",
 )
 activityScenario.close()
}
Warning: If the View under test contains system Locale dependent code, like NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.getDefault()), the Locale formatting you've set via ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForView().setLocale("my_locale") will not work. That's because NumberFormat is using the Locale of the Android system, and not that of the Activity we've configured. Beware of using instrumenation.targetContext in your tests when using getString() for the very same reason: use Activity's context instead. To solve that issue, you can do one of the following:
 1. Use NumberFormat.getInstance(anyViewInsideActivity.context.locales[0]) in your production code.
 2. Use SystemLocaleTestRule("my_locale") in your tests instead of ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForView().setLocale("my_locale").
Jetpack Compose
The simplest way is to use the ActivityScenarioForComposableRule, to avoid the need for:
1) calling createEmptyComposeRule() 2) closing the ActivityScenario.
@get:Rule
val rule = ActivityScenarioForComposableRule(
 config = ComposableConfigItem(
 fontSize = FontSize.SMALL,
 locale = "de",
 uiMode = UiMode.DAY,
 displaySize = DisplaySize.LARGE,
 orientation = Orientation.PORTRAIT,
 )
 )
@Test
fun snapComposableTest() {
 rule.activityScenario
 .onActivity {
 it.setContent {
 AppTheme { // this theme must use isSystemInDarkTheme() internally
 yourComposable()
 }
 }
 }
 compareScreenshot(
 rule = rule.composeRule,
 name = "your_unique_test_name",
 )
}
In case you don't want to/cannot use the rule, you can use ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForComposable() together with createEmptyComposeRule(). This would be its equivalent:
// needs an EmptyComposeRule to be compatible with ActivityScenario
@get:Rule
val composeTestRule = createEmptyComposeRule()
@Test
fun snapComposableTest() {
 val activityScenario = ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForComposable()
 .setFontSize(FontSize.SMALL)
 .setLocale("de")
 .setInitialOrientation(Orientation.PORTRAIT)
 .setUiMode(UiMode.DAY)
 .setDisplaySize(DisplaySize.LARGE)
 .launchConfiguredActivity()
 .onActivity {
 it.setContent {
 AppTheme { // this theme must use isSystemInDarkTheme() internally
 yourComposable()
 }
 }
 }
 activityScenario.waitForActivity()
 compareScreenshot(rule = composeTestRule, name = "your_unique_test_name")
 activityScenario.close()
}
Warning: If the Composable under test contains system Locale dependent code, like NumberFormat.getInstance(Locale.getDefault()), the Locale formatting you've set via ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForComposable().setLocale("my_locale") will not work. That's because NumberFormat is using the Locale of the Android system, and not that of the Activity we've configured, which is applied to the LocaleContext of our Composables. To solve that issue, you can do one of the following:
 1. Use NumberFormat.getInstance(LocaleContext.current.locales[0]) in your production code.
 2. Use SystemLocaleTestRule("my_locale") in your tests instead of ActivityScenarioConfigurator.ForComposable().setLocale("my_locale").
Fragment
The simplest way is to use the FragmentScenarioConfiguratorRule
@get:Rule
val rule = fragmentScenarioConfiguratorRule<MyFragment>(
 fragmentArgs = bundleOf("arg_key" to "arg_value"),
 config = FragmentConfigItem(
 orientation = Orientation.LANDSCAPE,
 uiMode = UiMode.DAY,
 locale = "de",
 fontSize = FontSize.SMALL,
 displaySize = DisplaySize.SMALL,
 theme = R.style.Custom_Theme,
 ),
 )
@Test
fun snapFragment() {
 compareScreenshot(
 fragment = rule.fragment,
 name = "your_unique_test_name",
 )
}
In case you don't want to/cannot use the rule, you can use the plain FragmentScenarioConfigurator. This would be its equivalent:
@Test
fun snapFragment() {
 val fragmentScenarioConfigurator =
 FragmentScenarioConfigurator
 .setInitialOrientation(Orientation.LANDSCAPE)
 .setUiMode(UiMode.DAY)
 .setLocale("de")
 .setFontSize(FontSize.SMALL)
 .setDisplaySize(DisplaySize.LARGE)
 .setTheme(R.style.Custom_Theme)
 .launchInContainer<MyFragment>(
 fragmentArgs = bundleOf("arg_key" to "arg_value"),
 )
 compareScreenshot(
 fragment = fragmentScenarioConfigurator.waitForFragment(),
 name = "your_unique_test_name",
 )
 fragmentScenarioConfigurator.close()
}
Utils
 1. waitForActivity: This method is analog to the one defined in pedrovgs/Shot. It's also available in this library for compatibility with other screenshot testing frameworks like Facebook screenshot-tests-for-android .
 2. waitForFragment: Analog to waitForActivity but for Fragment
 3. waitForView: Inflates the layout in the main thread and waits till the inflation happens, returning the inflated view. You will need to inflate layouts with the activity context created from the ActivityScenario of this library for the configurations to become effective.
 4. activity.inflate(R.layout_of_your_view): Use it to inflate android Views with the activity's context configuration. In doing so, the configuration becomes effective in the view. It also adds the view to the Activity's root.
 5. activity.inflateAndWaitForIdle(R.layout_of_your_view): Like activity.inflate, but waits till the view is Idle to return it. Do not wrap it with waitForView{} or it will throw an exception.
Reading on screenshot testing
Standard UI testing
For standard UI testing, you can use the same approach as for snapshot testing Activities. The following TestRules and methods are provided:
// Sets the Locale of the app under test only, i.e. the per-app language preference feature
@get:Rule
val locale = LocaleTestRule("en")
// Sets the Locale of the Android system
@get:Rule
val systemLocale = SystemLocaleTestRule("en")
@get:Rule
val fontSize = FontSizeTestRule(FontSize.HUGE).withTimeOut(inMillis = 15_000) // default is 10_000
@get:Rule
val displaySize = DisplaySizeTestRule(DisplaySize.LARGEST).withTimeOut(inMillis = 15_000)
@get:Rule
val uiMode = DayNightRule(UiMo


If You've Had an Organ Removed, Should You Still Massage Its Reflexology Point?
reflexology for missing organ, reflexology removed organ, organ removed
One of the questions that I am frequently asked is whether someone should massage a reflexology point if it no longer applies to them. For example, if your spleen or gallbladder was removed many years ago, you may wonder whether you should massage the organ's reflexology point. After all, you don't have the organ any more, so is it still beneficial to massage its reflexology point?
The answer is YES.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a broader perspective on organs than the Western medical view. The TCM perspective encompasses not only the physical organ, but also the organ's energy meridian, and its yin and yang elements.
So even though you may no longer have the organ in your body, you still have its accompanying energy meridian. The same applies not just for organs, but also for any body part such as the tonsils or appendix. The energy still exists and so does the energy meridian that runs through the area.
Your Body Is Your Home
Think of your body's energy meridians like an electrical circuit running through your home. You want your qi—your body's electrical current—to flow smoothly and abundantly. So even though you unplugged the toaster and removed it from the counter, there is still electricity going to the kitchen.
A similar analogy applies if an organ was surgically relocated to a different area in your body. That's like taking the toaster, moving it to the dining room, and plugging it in there. Even though the toaster is no longer in the kitchen, you still need to maintain the wiring in the kitchen because the electricity powers other appliances.
The same holds true for the qi flowing through your energy meridians. The qi still flows through its original location, so it's beneficial to massage the corresponding reflexology point.
Emotional Reasons for Massaging a Point
When someone has had an organ removed, they may feel regret, guilt, or shame about the missing organ. They may think, "I should have done something different. Maybe I should have gotten a second opinion." They may feel badly about the experience and their body, thinking, "I am no longer whole."
The flow of qi is affected by your thoughts so negative thinking can actually disrupt the smooth flow of qi through an area. Want to test this out? Take a second to think of something that's been bugging you lately. If you pay attention to your body, you'll notice that your breathing may have become shallower, your jaw may have clenched, or you may be tensing up one part of your body.
Now imagine what years of feeling regret, shame, and guilt can do to your body, especially when you're directing it to the same place (the missing organ) every day. So to help prevent energy blocks, massage the organ's reflexology point, and also visualize bright white light flowing through this area of your body. Bringing your focus to the area in a loving manner will help to naturally relax and release tension—and this will help keep your qi flowing smoothly.
Even if you're not missing an organ, you can always visualize loving white light surrounding any portion of your body, or even your entire body. Go ahead and try it right now. You'll be amazed at how your breathing deepens and your body relaxes. It's a simple and easy way to improve the flow of qi.

Handmade Puppet Craft
Make your own "Ugly Doll" out of a single mitten or glove.
- Master puppeteer:Your kid.
- A single mitten or glove that's missing its mate
- Permanent markers
- Pipe cleaners
- Buttons and googly eyes
- Fabric and yarn scraps
- Fabric glue
- A hot-glue gun and glue sticks:Kids and hot glue don't mix, so make sure you do all the gluing.
- Stuffing material:Pick up some fiberfill or just raid the medicine cabinet for cotton balls.
- Plastic sewing needle
- Chopstick or knitting needle
- Send your kid on a mission in the coat closet to find an old, mateless glove or mitten. Light-colored fabrics work best.
- Then lay out the markers, buttons, googly eyes, yarn and fabric scraps and invite your kid to decorate the mitten like a monster. He can use yarn for hair, buttons for eyes or a nose, the fabric scraps for tentacles or pipe cleaners as antennae. Let his imagination go to work, while you get to work hot-gluing everything into place.
- Next, help him fill the glove or mitten with stuffing. If he's using cotton balls, have him fluff them out before stuffing. To get the fill into glove fingers or a mitten thumb, push it up with chopstick or knitting needle.
- Then show your kid how to thread a plastic needle and help him sew the bottom of the monster shut using a simple in-and-out stitch. And presto! He's got himself a scary, strange-looking new pal. Uglydoll's got nothin' on this guy!
- Not the sewing type? Have your kid seal the bottom of the mitten monster with a rubber band or use a little hot glue to seal it shut.


Monitoring Kafka activity in Streams Messaging Manager
You can use Streams Messaging Manager (SMM) to monitor Kafka activity. To do this, you run two SSH sessions, one for producing data to a Kafka topic and the other to consume the data from the Kafka topic. Then you go to the SMM UI from the Management Console to track the producer and consumer activity.
Now that you know how to configure a Kafka client to connect to the Kafka cluster in CDP, generate some activity and monitor it using SMM. To do this, you collect machine usage data from the broker host using the vmstat command and stream that data into the machine-data topic.
For detailed and comprehensive information about SMM, see Streams Messaging Manager.
 1. Start by opening two SSH connections to the same broker host.
 2. On the first session, run the following command.
 BROKER_HOST=$(hostname -f)
 vmstat 1 1000 | kafka-console-producer \
 --broker-list $BROKER_HOST:9093 \
 --producer.config \
 --topic machine-data
 This command runs vmstat and sends each line from its output as one message every second to the machine-data topic.
 This example assumes that you are using LDAP authentication but you can use the authentication method of your preference.
 Leave the session running.
 3. On the second SSH session, run the following command to consume the data:
 BROKER_HOST=$(hostname -f)
 kafka-console-consumer \
 --bootstrap-server $BROKER_HOST:9093 \
 --consumer.config \
 --topic machine-data \
 --group machine-data-$RANDOM \
 You see the data produced by the first session continuously appear on the screen as output.
 Leave the second session also running.
 6. Click Streams Messaging Manager on the services pane to open the SMM web UI.
 It may take a few minutes for the consumer or producer activity to start showing in the SMM UI. You may have to refresh your page a few times until the data starts to appear.
 Once it does, you see one active producer on the left-hand side of the page and at least one active consumer listed on the right-hand side of the page.
 You also see the LAG metrics listed besides each consumer. This metric indicates the number of messages the consumer is behind the latest message produced to the Kafka topic. You can use this to quickly identify slow consumers that are lagging behind producers.
 7. Click either on the producer or on the consumer, and SMM shows their activity, highlighting all the topics and partitions they are writing to or reading from, respectively.
 In this page you can identify metrics for the overall Kafka topic activity and partition-level. The In Sync Replica (ISR) set for each partition can be identified on the screen. The ID of the LEADER replica for each partition is shown on the left-hand side, while the FOLLOWER replicas are represented as teal-colored boxes on the right-hand side.
 8. Click on an empty part of the page to clear the consumer or producer selection, and then click the profile icon for the machine-data topic.
 This opens the Kafka topic details page where you can find all the topic-related metrics and utilization charts.
 9. Click the DATA EXPLORER tab.
 In the Data Explorer page you can sample the data that is flowing through the Kafka topic. Select different partitions and adjust the offset sliders to become familiar with those controls.

Hydrogen is the choice of fuel for a new trailing hopper suction dredger (THSD) design being developed through a partnership between Royal IHC and the Dutch government.
The fuel type was chosen based on its emissions reduction potential, the availability of the fuel and the readiness of the components, including fuel cells and fuel storage, Royal IHC's Leonard den Boer told CEDA Industry News. Following analysis, hydrogen was found to fit "best with the timeline of being operational in 2024," said den Boer who is the project leader.
The Dutch Rijkswaterstaat (Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management) has set itself a target to be CO2 neutral by 2030. To achieve this, it sought cost-effective solutions for its coastal protection projects to significantly reduce CO2 from 2024.
Known as the 'LEAF' (low energy adaptive fuel) hopper, the design received an approval in principle (AiP) from classification society Bureau Veritas at the end of March.
The project's next step is "to form a consortium with dredger operator(s) and to define the conditions together with Rijkswaterstaat," said den Boer.
Project research began in 2019, and before hydrogen was agreed as the fuel of choice, other options such as methanol and ammonia were considered as possible zero emission fuels for the dredger, he said. The exact capacity of the LEAF hopper is still under discussion.
In a statement, Royal IHC said: "The AiP from Bureau Veritas means that the proposed design of the vessel, encompassing its features and specifications, has been deemed acceptable in this early stage and that the hydrogen system has been safely integrated".
According to the company, minimal CO2, SOx, NOx and particulate matter is released during the construction of the LEAF hopper, and when operating, like other hydrogen-fuelled vessels, it will release only water vapour.
"In addition, many design features on the LEAF hopper contribute to low energy consumption, including an electric drive train and energy recovery systems," it said.

Wood or Plastic?
The advantage of the professionally made wooden instruments is their excellent quality of sound. Children can perceive the difference in quality and this ability should be developed during lessons. Wood reacts very sensitively to the way it is treated by the player. Looking after a wooden recorder requires and trains a certain sensitivity which children are never too young to learn.
Instruments with a plastic head or even entirely made of plastic can have a satisfactory sound. They are to be recommended for small children as they are extremely robust. Plastic instruments do not mind being knocked about.

Finding DC operating points of nonlinear circuits is an important and difficult task. The Newton-Raphson method adopted in the SPICE-like simulators often fails to converge to a solution. To overcome this convergence problem, homotopy methods have been studied from various viewpoints. However, most previous studies are mainly focused on the bipolar transistor circuits and no paper presents the global convergence theorems of homotopy methods for MOS transistor circuits. Moreover, due to the improvements and advantages of MOS transistor technologies, extending the homotopy methods to MOS transistor circuits becomes more and more necessary and important. This paper proposes two nonlinear homotopy methods for MOS transistor circuits and proves the global convergence theorems for the proposed MOS nonlinear homotopy method II. Numerical examples show that both of the two proposed homotopy methods for MOS transistor circuits are more effective for finding DC operating points than the conventional MOS homotopy method and they are also capable of finding DC operating points for large-scale circuits.

Driver processes in Ray head node
 - None: Just asking a question out of curiosity
Question 1
For curiosity, just want to know is Ray head node actually running multiple driver processes or only one driver process?
Based on this diagram, it seems it runs multiple driver processes.

Thanks @Chen_Shen ! I have two more follow up questions.
Question 2
Based on Key Concepts — Ray 2.5.1
Ray driver processes which run Ray jobs
In this case, what is the difference between driver processes and worker processes?
Question 3
As Ray driver processes run Ray jobs. If one job submit to Ray cluster (Head), when having multiple driver processes, who helps decide which Ray driver process pick the job? Any algorithm? Thanks! :smiley:
@Hongbo-Miao
In this case, what is the difference between driver processes and worker processes?
A driver is a special worker process that executes the top-level application (e.g., __main__ in Python).
As Ray driver processes run Ray jobs. If one job submit to Ray cluster (Head), when having multiple driver processes, who helps decide which Ray driver process pick the job? Any algorithm? Thanks!
Similar to you can run multiple processes in a operating system, you can also run multiple independent jobs, each of which runs in their own drivers.
you can find a detailed explanation of driver versus worker in ray white paper.

Urinating Swimmers Blamed for Dead Fish
Sign Up for Free eNewsletter ››
By Myles Collier, Christian Post Contributor
May 15, 2012|3:10 pm
German officials have banned locals from entering a lake in northern Germany while they determine if reports of swimmers urinating in the lake have caused the lakes fish to die.
Eichbaum Lake is currently being studied by researchers who believe that a large amount of human urine is responsible for an algae bloom that killed off an estimated 500 fish.
"Swimmers who urinate in the lake are introducing a lot of phosphate" that can lead to algae blooms, a spokesman for the Hamburger Angling Association told Bild newspaper.
"We're calculating half a liter of urine per swimmer per day," he said.
Swimmers are currently banned from the lake due to the high levels of algae, but the city's Urban Development and Environment Authority (BSU) is trying to re-open the lake to swimmers by the time the summer season starts.
In order to identify exactly what is causing the fish to die off, the BSU is requesting the help of a local university to test the urinating hypothesis.

Local media reports have stated that it was not just the "urinators" that were responsible, but the combination of natural causes and a frozen lake.
In the winter time the lake freezes over and is used by many for ice skating. The ice skating may actually disrupt the fish while they are hibernating, leading to their deaths.
"The ice-skaters make a noise that wakes the fish out of hibernation," BSU spokeswoman Kerstin Graupner told the Local. "Then they can't breathe and freeze. That's a very common phenomenon."
She added that their bodies are only now being found.
Urine, however, is being considered a real threat to the health of the lakes ecosystem. The blog i09 explained that phosphates found in human urine work in a similar fashion as fertilizer which can lead to explosive algae growth.
When levels of algae increase the plants absorb all of the oxygen in the water, which then leads to the fish suffocating.

Dog Found Breastfeeding A Starving Abandoned Child
 YouTube/QueOpinaChileTV
The remarkable instincts of a sweet dog are being credited for helping to save the life of a young child who had been abandoned by his mother.
The 2-year-old boy was rescued last week in the Chilean village of Arica, half-clothed and in a dangerous state of malnutrition. It's unclear how long he had been left to fend for himself, but despite being deserted by his parent, the child was not completely without maternal attention.
Incredibly, the boy was discovered being cared for by a neighborhood pet, named Reina. The dog, who is pregnant with a litter of puppies, had evidently taken the starving child in as her own, nursing him with her life-giving milk, reports Estrella de Arica.
"Police were called to verify the witness's report, noting the obvious state of malnutrition of the child and verifying that he was drinking milk from a canine that was in the area, so he was moved immediately to a hospital," police captain Diego Gajardo told the paper.
According to the Associated Press, the boy was treated and later released into the custody of child services.

While Reina's actions on behalf of the child are truly remarkable, similar stories of animals breastfeeding starving children are not unheard of. Perhaps the best-known instance of this stems from ancient mythology in the story of Romulus and Remus, traditionally cited as the founders of Rome.
According to legend, the twin boys were on the verge of death after being abandoned by their mother in infancy, only to be rescued by a she-wolf who suckled them.

Dr. Ricia Anne Chansky, professor in the English department at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, is the coeditor of the forthcoming Voice of Witness (VOW) project, Mi María: Surviving the Storm.
Voice of Witness worked with Dr. Chansky and more than a hundred of her students to collect and amplify the stories of survivors across the island. Mi María brings together stories of survival, community, and strength with an interrogation of the politics of citizenry rooted in the history of Puerto Rico and the United States.
In recognition of her pedagogical work with students that blossomed into this public oral history project, we're thrilled to celebrate Dr. Chansky for receiving the Oral History Association's Post-Secondary Teaching Award.
After Hurricane María, Dr. Chansky invited students to write their own hurricane memoirs. Most were written in pen on paper as electricity was still out. Recognizing the value of this work, Dr. Chansky designed the Mi María project and partnered with Voice of Witness, inspired by the premise that students could help themselves and their home communities if they expanded this voluntary memoir lesson into an oral history project.
After intensive training during the VOW Story Lab, Dr. Chansky returned to the university where she taught over a hundred undergraduate students from all majors and disciplines to ethically collect, transcribe, translate, and edit oral history narratives. All of these students are survivors of Hurricane María—each with their own story to tell—who went into their home communities to collect unheard stories of the hurricane and its aftermath. The project aims to support often disempowered communities to reclaim agency through the facilitation of a public sharing of narratives. As Dr. Chansky wrote, "I did not intend to begin an ongoing, large-scale project in the midst of disaster, rather, I started this work out of an ethics of care for my students."
In response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new stage of the project, "Sheltered in Place," will use the existing model of employing oral history to help students and communities heal and reclaim their narratives in times of ongoing disaster. Dr. Chansky also received the Oral History Association's Emerging Crises Grant for this phase of the project.

SAMPLE STATISTICS: mean sitting height (x bar)=92.8cm, size (n)=36 male students.
POPULATION STATISTIC: mean sitting height (µ)=91.4cm, standard deviation (σ)=3.6cm.
CLAIM: Mean sitting height is different from 91.4cm.
COUNTERCLAIM: Mean sitting height is 91.4cm.
SIGNIFICANCE LEVEL: ɑ=0.05 (95% confidence level)
Null hypothesis, H₀: µ=91.4 (counterclaim)
Alternative hypothesis, H₁: µ≠91.4 (claim)
This is a 2-tail test, because "not equals" means less than (left tail) or greater than (right tail), so the significance level is split equally between the two tails giving us the required confidence interval of 95%.
Z=(x bar-µ)/(σ/√n)=(92.8-91.4)/(3.6/√36)=1.4/0.6=2.333, corresponding to a P-value of 0.0098. The given test statistic is 0.0198.
ɑ/2=0.025 and sample P-value 0.0098<0.025, and 0.0198<0.025, which means that H₀ is rejected, and H₁ is accepted to be true. The conclusion is that the claim is true, that the mean sitting height of male students is different from 91.4cm.

There are three different ways to steer packets into a HPB:
- ANIC adapter is configured to use its own internal algorithms to evenly and efficiently distribute or load balance packets across a specified number (from 1 to 64) of HPBs. This is done to ensure that no processing thread is overwhelmed with data while others are starved.
- Based upon the results of packet filtering, packets can be steered to specific HPBs. For example, packets that match a specific packet filter rule might all be steered to the same HPB for processing.
- Based upon flow classification, packets are steered to specific HPBs. In other words, specific flows are identified and explicitly steered to a specific HPB for processing.
Packet traffic is typically transferred across the PCIe bus (DMA) for consumption by the host application. However there may be circumstances under which select traffic must be locally redirected or retransmitted out of one of the ANIC network ports. Packet filtering or flow classification can be used to identify which specific packets or flows must be redirected out a given port.

What's the Deadly Sins of Evil series?
It began with a novel series based on the musical works of The Daughter of Evil, The Servant of Evil, and the Seven Deadly Sins Series. Each song has a connection, set in the Bolganio region at various times, unfolding as a grand historical tale by various people. It started with Moonlit Bear and Chrono Story of Original Sin, The Daughter of Evil of Pride, Evil Food Eater Conchita of Gluttony, The Tailor of Enbizaka of Envy, The Lunacy of Duke Venomania of Lust, Judgment of Corruption of Greed, Gift from the Princess who Brought Sleep of Sloth, and the not yet revealed Wrath. The unfortunate fate of those involved with the Seven Deadly Sins is spun. As of 2013, following The Daughter of Evil novel series, both The Lunacy of Duke Venomania and Evil Food Eater Conchita have been released as part of Deadly Sins of Evil. In this book, the Moonlit Bear illustrated story, Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night illustration story, the Judgment of Corruption Side Story: Gallerian manga, and a Deadly Sins of Evil short story written by the creator himself, Akuno-P, are compiled together.
Main Article: Moonlit Bear (story)
Moonlit Bear is the first short, illustrative story included in the databook. It follows the events of the song of the same name as a woman steals two fruit from a vicious bear on a moonlit night. The story was illustrated by Yoshida Dondorian. It was included as the only short story with colored illustrations, preceding a variety of other colored illustrations by various artists and the guidebook's index.
Deadly Sins of Evil Guide
A section dedicated to the explanation of mothy's Seven Deadly Sins Series, his Deadly Sins of Evil light novel series, and its related songs and events. The section begins with a story explanation of Deadly Sins of Evil: The Lunacy of Duke Venomania and Evil Food Eater Conchita, providing brief character descriptions of the principal cast advertised for each light novel and the basic plot summary of both books. Small blurbs of recurring characters or places in the light novel are included at the bottom of each summary.
An Evillious Chronicles timeline lists the major events that occur in the overarching story, adding the cover illustrations of all the light novels released up until that point adjacent to the area relevant to the timeline. Afterwards, a chronological guide of all of mothy's songs in the Evillious series up until that point is listed in chronological order. Each song is given a story summary and brief explanation of its place in the series with comments from Akuno-P. Finally, a brief description is given for four major album releases by mothy: Evils Forest, Evils Court, Original Sin Story -Act 1-, and its complementary -Act 2-.
Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night
Main Article: Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night (story)
Tale of Abandonment on a Moonlit Night is the second short, illustrative story included in the databook. It follows the events of the song of the same name, adding more context to the supernatural elements of the story while retelling the song's original events. It was illustrated by Mizutame Tori.
Deadly Sins of Evil
Main Article: Deadly Sins of Evil (manga)
Deadly Sins of Evil is a collection of yonkoma manga parodying the events of the Seven Deadly Sins Series with outrageous portrayals of the characters and their actions from various other media. It was written by HR (SHDX) and illustrated by Tamara. The manga was preceded by a page giving a brief description of each vessel of sin in the series.
Main Article: Heavenly Yard (story)
Heavenly Yard is the third short story included in the databook. It elaborates on the creation of the world Bolganio is set in while also explaining several details regarding the overall story from the perspective of Sickle, the god that created the world. It was written by Akuno-P.
Judgment of Corruption Side Story: Gallerian
Main Article: Judgment of Corruption Side Story: Gallerian
Judgment of Corruption Side Story: Gallerian is the final short story included in the databook. It covers an event with Chief Justice Gallerian Marlon and demonstrates his corruption in the Dark Star Bureau to achieve his goals. The manga was written by JK (SHDX) and illustrated by Masahiro Ikeno.
The end of the guidebook provides a small interview with mothy on some general questions about the series and its characters, such as Ma, as well as specific questions geared towards the previous two Deadly Sins of Evil light novels. Following that, an interview with Ichika regarding the upcoming manga adaptation of The Daughter of Evil series discussed the origin and evolution of the manga, including teaser illustrations and concept art for the setting and characters in the first volume.

Restriction on calling IP addresses
Other scripts might not follow this, but registration.soap.php allows you to define restrictions on the IP addresses that can call the webservices it contains.
This is made possible by the following snippet of code inside the WSHelperVerifyKey() function
// Check if a file that limits access from webservices exists
// and contains the restraining check
if (is_file('webservice-auth-ip.conf.php')) {
include 'webservice-auth-ip.conf.php';
if ($debug) {
error_log("webservice-auth-ip.conf.php file included");
}
if (!empty($ws_auth_ip)) {
$check_ip = true;
$ip_matches = api_check_ip_in_range($ip, $ws_auth_ip);
if ($debug) {
error_log("ip_matches: $ip_matches");
}
}
}
As you'll have understood, you need to create a file called « webservice-auth-ip.conf.php » inside the same folder as registration.soap.php and add a list of IP addresses (or ranges) inside the file itself. Only those IP addresses which match the ranges will be accepted.
When using this method, the algorithm we saw earlier about building the security key will have to be modified, as we will not require the IP address anymore :
$finalKey = sha1($key) ;
For portals where security is very important, it is a good idea to use this method.

We know that Hamiltonian path, clique and independent sets are NP-complete but what about half or the square root of each problem or a fraction of $n$ ? That is, for a graph, $G$ of $n$ nodes,
