Baldwin ‘rehearsing aiming gun at lens when he fired fatal shot’
October 25 2021 10:18 PM
US actor Alec Baldwin fired a prop gun that killed a cinematographer and wounded the director on a f
(File photo) Alec Baldwin

Alec Baldwin was rehearsing a scene that involved pointing a prop gun at the camera lens when he fatally shot cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, US media reported, citing an affidavit recording his director’s account of the tragedy.
Director Joel Souza, who was standing behind Hutchins when the gun fired, said he heard what “sounded like a whip and then loud pop,” according to the affidavit released to US media on Sunday.
Souza said Baldwin was “sitting in a pew in a church building setting, and he was practicing a cross draw. Joel said he was looking over the shoulder of Halyna” when he heard the gun fire, NBC News reported the affidavit as saying.
It quotes Souza as saying he remembered Hutchins “complaining about her stomach and grabbing her midsection.”
“Joel also said Halyna began to stumble backwards and she was assisted to the ground,” the affidavit said, according to NBC. “Joel explained that he was bleeding from his shoulder and he could see blood on Halyna.”
Hutchins, 42, was struck in the chest when Baldwin fired the prop gun he had been told was safe on the set of low-budget western Rust in New Mexico on Thursday. She was declared dead in hospital hours later.
Souza, 48, was treated by doctors and sent home. Police are still investigating the shooting, and have executed a search warrant at the set.
Baldwin has been interviewed by detectives in Santa Fe, and has said he is co-operating fully with the probe. Attention has also focused on the film’s assistant director, Dave Halls, who handed the weapon to the actor, and on the armorer, 24-year-old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.
No-one has been charged and no arrests have been made.
The incident happened after a lunch break, Souza reportedly said in the affidavit, adding that he wasn’t sure if the gun had been checked again for safety after the break.
A camera operator also reportedly said the incident was not caught on film as the cast and crew were still preparing for the scene.
The new details emerged as Hutchins’ shocked friends and colleagues gathered to pay tribute to her Sunday at a vigil where their anguish and anger were on display.
“I had the pleasure of working with Halyna,” said actress Sharon Leal. “She was a wonderful woman and just, we’re all just so shocked.”
But there was palpable anger about what went wrong.
“The low budget productions oftentimes they want to make it look bigger than they really are,” said director Gustavo Sampaio, who worked with Hutchins four years ago.
“So they cut corners and they put safety in the backseat when it really should be at the forefront of everything that’s done on a set.”
That sentiment was echoed by producer Sabrina Oertle.
“I can tell you that as a producer, someone dropped the ball. Somebody decided to go with the bottom line, meaning keep your budget... cheap.”
Calls were growing for a ban on live firearms on movie sets, with a petition on gathering more than 22,000 signatures by Sunday evening.
“There is no excuse for something like this to happen in the 21st century,” says the text of the petition launched by Bandar Albuliwi, a screenwriter and director.
Dave Cortese, a Democrat elected to the California Senate, said Saturday he would be pushing a bill banning live ammunition on movie sets in California.

Effects of drop size distribution on NEXRAD rain rate estimation

- Indicates paper has been withdrawn from meeting
- Indicates an Award Winner
Sunday, 17 January 2010
Exhibit Hall B2 (GWCC)
Nazario D. Ramirez-Beltran, Univ. of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, PR; and E. J. Suarez-Vazquez and S. Cruz-Pol

Handout (328.2 kB)

The purpose of this research effort is to develop and analyze the droplet size distribution (DSD) for different types of rainfall events, and to measure how the DSD affects the rain-rate radar estimation. The cloud DSD plays a paramount role in the parameterization of cloud microphysics in climate models and plays a crucial role in determining the cloud radiative properties, which is usually obtained by radar and satellite retrieval algorithms. The optical disdrometer is used to collect in-situ samples of droplet size, which will be used to develop the parameters of the DSD. A preliminary analysis was conducted throughout of the modified Gamma distribution which is used to represent the cloud DSD. The analysis of the DSD is conducted through the derivation of the distribution moments and their physical interpretation. The analysis includes the discussion of the mean, variance, effective radius, and effective variance of the DSD. It was noted that the effective radius is the ratio of expected volume of water falling in an expected area and the average radius if the arithmetic mean of the droplets and the effective radius is larger than the average of radius. Rain gauges were located in the same place of the disdrometer with the purpose of measuring the accumulated rainfall during 5 minutes. NEXRAD rain rate will be aggregated to compare with the accumulated rainfall and, therefore, the DSD effects on radar rain rate will be estimated. It can be noted the small DSD is associated with small error in rain rate estimation, whereas larger DSD is usually associated with larger error in rain rate estimation. Thus, it is expected to develop an algorithm to improve the rain rate radar measurements based on the knowledge of the DSD.

Ananda is headed to Spelman for the Digital Doyennes in April

Photo Credit' Atlanta WIFTA

I was honored and excited to receive Spelman College’s invitation to participate in the Digital Doyennes: Wisdom from the Women who Lead in Social Media and Digital Innovation. Why? That’s a no brainer for me because Spelman embodies digital sisterhood, the feminine currency women use to create relationship wealth through the connections they make, conversations they have, communities they build, causes they support, collaborative partnerships they establish, and commerce they engage in with women they meet online and offline.

Since 2008, I have been researching women in social media (for my next book project Digital Sisterhood, a memoir) and tracking the unique ways Spelman uses social media and technology to promote its mission, academic programs, research, students, professors, alumni, social justice efforts, and community activities.  What I learned is Spelman has become a social media and technology trailblazer for women of color!  As an institution, it uses a wide an array of social media tools including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, blogs, ezines, and webcasts.

Guess what tool is a big hit at Spelman?  Twitter.  Spelman’s Admissions Office, academic programs like the Music Department, LEADS program, Bonner Office of Community Service and Student Development, Museum of Fine Art, Digital Moving Image Salon, women of color conferenceSisters Chapel, Alumnae Affairs office, alumnae association and chapters, and student organizations such as the Student Government Association and Spotlight newspaper use it.  Recently, Spelman President Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum joined the Spelman Twitter bandwagon.

Technology also plays a major role at Spelman.  In October 2010, AT&T announced Spelmanites Jonecia Keels and Jazmine Miller won the 2010 AT&T Big Mobile on Campus Challenge with their HBCU Buddy, a mobile application created to educate and inform users about Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the United States.  Keels and Miller received $5,000 each, a mobile device of their choice, a lifetime development license for Spelman, and all-expense paid trips to the AT&T Higher Ed Board of Advisors meeting and the EDUCAUSE Annual Conference.

Did you know Spelman is located in Atlanta, the second most socially networked city in the United States according to Men’s Health (DC was ranked first — had to give my city a shout out)?  Men’s Health published its socially networked city rankings in March.  The Atlanta metropolitan area is also home to a dynamic blogging community of women including:

Social media savvy women entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses such as Clutch Magazine/Sutton New Media LLC founder Deanna Sutton, Tyler New Media co-founder Ronnie Tyler, Jacqui Chew, Latoicha Givens, Shannon Nash, Jonnice Slaughter, the Blog Rollers, and Everywhere are located in the “ATL.”  Several key conferences such as Blogging While Brown, Blogalicious, and lavish! were held there too.

While I am in Atlanta, I will get to see my attorney, best friend, and Howard University School of Law classmate Lauren Medlock Smith, founder of Catch the Verve, LLC.  Lauren is currently serving as the sponsorship chair for Women in Film & Television Atlanta, a co-sponsor of the Digital Doyennes event.

I also hope to spend time with my digital sister and fellow Heart of Haiti tripster Danica Kombol, a managing and founding partner of Everywhere, another co-sponsor of the Digital Doyennes event.

So now you can see why coming to Spelman and Atlanta in April is a digital sisterhood dream come true!

Vintage Recipe: Juiciest Roasted Chicken Ever

I’m thinking of end-of-summer travel and picnics this week.  I know that in my grandmother’s day, a picnic was not a picnic without cold fried or roasted chicken, so I decided to look for a vintage recipe for roasted chicken.

Don’t the women in their Edwardian summer outfits look like they are having fun?  Grandma Vera Anderson was a member of a club that organized cultural events for the town of Killbuck, bringing in plays and lecturers. But they obviously had some fun, as well. This picture is taken in front of a hat shop, run by Node Nelson, the woman standing with her arm raised in front of the porch post. You can barely see hats in the window on the left.

Eating roasted chicken in 1905

Aren’t these ladies having fun eating roasted chicken for a picnic? Vera Anderson top right. Early 20th Century.

Every vintage recipe for roasted chickens that I have read in Joy of Cooking or even in the Betty Crocker Cookbook from the 50s are pretty basic:  Fill the body cavity with some dressing, slather the outside with butter, and put in a 350 oven until it is done.

My Grandma Vera n had a large electric roasting pan, but I don’t recall that she did anything complicated with her chickens.  However, I wanted to see if there was a different way, and so I once again turned to the Buffalo Evening News Cooking School Cook Book.

Frugal Kiwi chickens

Chickens in the backyard of the Frugal Kiwi, found at http://frugalkiwi.com

I found a treasure.  Before I got to the recipe, I read through their description of how to deal with poultry and game.  Some of it is basic advice that few people these days know about–how to pluck a chicken, how to judge the quality of the bird, how to cut up a fowl.  Some of it is quite surprising.

…it should be thoroughly washed inside and out, (Read this article for a modern alternative view on washing chicken) and if there is an unpleasant odor form the inside, rub it with a little cooking soda.  If the odor disappears quickly the bird is good to eat. If the odor persists it is best to cut the bird open to see whether there are any bruises or recognizable bad places.  A fowl that ha a bad odor had better not be eaten.

Well, yeah, if my chicken stinks, I don’t think I’ll eat it. But how about this advice?

All game is best in the winter and should never be eaten in the spring.  At that time of the year the broiling chickens are better and can be prepared in such a variety of ways, that there is no need of any other fowl.

I guess it doesn’t really matter since I don’t eat a lot of pheasant or quail, or even duck , but I imagine some restaurants might be surprised at the advice.

The smooth legs of a fowl less than a year old may be used. Scaled with boiling water and skin and claw cases will peel off like a glove.  Place in cold salted water and cook slowly.  Three pairs of chicken feet will make a pint of jelly as fine, and just as nutritious as calf’s foot jelly.

Well, it is certainly good to know what to do when you run out of calves’ feet, isn’t it?

Okay, I’m being a little sarcastic about these dated (from 1925) instructions, that address a cook whose fowl and poultry came directly from the farm or from her back yard instead of from a chicken factory.  But on to the vintage recipe for roasted chicken, which is really superb. (Their fried chicken recipe sounds great too, and I’ll try it one of these days.)

Roasted Chicken

Roasted Chicken Heritage Recipe from the Buffalo News Cook Book

Here’s the roasted chicken recipe just as it is in The Buffalo Evening News Cooking School Cook Book, and then a few of my notes.

Dress, clean, stuff and truss a four-pound chicken.  Rub with salt and pepper and place in roasting pan. Rub into a paste three tablespoons of butter and two tablespoons of flour and cover breast and legs with it.  Dredge bottom of pan with flour. Place in a hot oven and when flour is browned, baste with one-fourth cup of butter melted in one-half cup boiling water. Reduce oven heat and baste every ten minutes until chicken is done.  If water dries from the bottom of the pan add more.  A four-pound chicken requires one and one-fourth hours to roast. (For stuffing see below).  [A recipe for gravy follows, but I skipped the gravy.]
  • I did make a bread dressing with 2 C bread and 1/2 c melted butter, but whereas their simple dressing is seasoned only with salt and pepper, I added rosemary, a little cumin and dried cranberries and walnut bits.
  • My first challenge was “cover the breast and legs” with the flour-butter paste.  Not as easy as it sounds. I tried doing it with my fingers, and it just didn’t work at all, so I tried spreading with a knife and it spread a little better, but as you can see in the picture, winds up pretty bumpy with exposed spots.
  • “Dredge” I took to mean scatter the flour around the chicken in the pan bottom to cover, but not deeply. I had no idea how long the flour in the bottom of the pan would take to brown.  I set the oven at 400° , which I figured was their “hot oven.” It took more than 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it so you don’t get burnt flour. I reduced the heat to 350°  when I poured the butter and water over.
  • I did have to add water to the bottom of the pan in order to have some liquid with which to baste. (I don’t have a baster, so just used a spoon.)
  • My chicken was 3 1/2 pounds and it was not done after 3 1/2 hours, but that may just be my oven.

The end result was absolutely the juiciest roasted chicken I have EVER eaten.  I know when I roast chicken and turkey, in order to avoid the breast getting dried out or too brown, I cover the bird with foil in the last half of cooking, or I start it breast down and turn it over entirely during the cooking. However, the flour/butter paste serves to protect the top from browning too much and holds in the juices.

Have you ever cooked chicken this way?  Or seen it done?  And how about the chicken-feet jelly??

Bak chor mee (dry) @ Grandfather bak chor mee

Bak chor mee (dry)

As a standard rule, I rarely tapow hawker food. I feel it degrades every minute you keep it in a takeaway container. The majority of the dishes are made to be eaten just after they are cooked. But I have to make an exception in this Covid times, no choice but to tapow.

Grandfather bak chor mee is a new stall in Siglap at the LTN kopitiam. I saw them redesigning it (it had been empty for a while) and waited patiently for it to open. There are limited bak chor mee options around the area and it is one of my favourite dishes. The “grandfather”, Mr Kodo, has another stall at Jalan Tua Kong selling carrot cake. I have fond memories of buying this carrot cake during the first CB and he gave me a cold can of tiger beer at 8:30am while I waited. Great way to start the day.

Uniquely for the area, he as a sign that offers free food to those in need. How many people take him up on that I do not know. Clearly the guy is quite generous and endeavours to help his community out.

Free food sign

Grandfather’s back chor mee is absolutely delicious. Packed full of ingredients; prawn, fish dumpling, pork balls, marinated sliced pork, minced pork, crunchy bean sprouts, and generous amounts of lard. I chose mee kia to have with my bak chor mee, other options were mee pok, kway teow, and mee tai mak. The herbaceous tomato based chilli sauce is not for the faint hearted, but it is balanced out with the vinegar and earthiness of the mushroom sauce. Maybe it was a little bit oily, but that’s probably more to do with sweating in a plastic container as I cycled home than anything.

My favourite bak chor mee in the east just got a new champion. The price is higher than some, but the plethora of ingredients justifies it, I just wish there was some pork liver included.

Editor’s Note: After purchasing several times, I feel the newness of the shop means they have not quite got their consistency down just quite yet. Each time I get a bowl it tastes slightly different. But that should come with time.

Price: $4.50

Captive lions in appalling conditions

Inspectors from the National Council of SPCAs (NSPCA) wildlife protection unit obtained a warrant after receiving a complaint regarding lions that were in a shocking condition in the North West Province. Upon arrival, the inspectors were horrified to find two lion cubs that were unable to walk and appeared to be showing signs that they were suffering from a neurological condition. The NSPCA removed the two cubs for assessment and veterinary treatment by a specialist carnivore veterinarian.

Other issues such as small enclosures and inadequate shelter, no provision of water, overcrowding, and filthy and parasitic conditions were noted in the camps that contained lion, caracal, tiger, and leopard. 27 of the lions had mange and the caracal were obese and unable to properly groom themselves.

“It is deplorable that any animal would be forced to live in such conditions, with such medical ailments. The fact that these are wild animals that are already living unnatural lives in confinement for the purposes of trade, it just makes it more horrific,” said senior inspector Douglas Wolhuter, manager of the NSPCA’s wildlife protection unit.

The investigation is ongoing, and the NSPCA is currently building a strong case and have every intention of ensuring that justice is appropriately served for the animals.

The NSPCA would like to extend their sincerest thanks to the Lichtenburg South African Police Service (SAPS) for their tremendous support in enforcing the warrant.

The trade of wild animals opens the door to abhorrent cruelty, whether it be intentional or negligent. Where there is money and animals involved, there is bound to be cruelty.

Imagery, Humanity, and Storytelling with Miyazaki

When I want to watch a movie on a random night, there’s a good chance I’m going to pick a movie by Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Movies like Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service and Howl’s Moving Castle are some of my favorites, and I go back to Miyazaki’s work over and over. The storytelling is thoughtful and the art is fun and beautiful, and even in fantastical settings his characters feel so real.

I love this video that talks about why Miyazaki’s films are so successful, including his focus on precise character actions, clear character needs, and fostering human empathy on screen.

Basically, Miyazaki’s films are a masterclass in storytelling and character development. So when I watch them over and over, it’s totally for professional reasons.

Quote of the Day

My Heroes - Maya Angelou connected with countless people through her powerful poetry
Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.” ― Maya Angelou

I feel like I’ve bene hearing a lot recently about fear and about courage–universe, are you trying to tell me something? I feel like this quote about courage could apply not just to romantic love, but love for yourself or your work, too. Here’s to being courageous, one more time.

Quote of the Day

My friend Stephanie is a writer, blogger, wedding planner, editor, and professional athlete. She’s been sharing updates about her journey to the Olympics on her site, Fête, and I’ve loved hearing about her training and racing and the pressures and prep that drive that goes into being a professional runner. Recently I saw this from one of her updates and loved the sentiment:

Smith & Sons (1)

I love this reminder that, even if you have the training and the talent and the drive, you still need courage. Putting yourself out there and trying to achieve your dreams is scary, whether that’s at a big race or at your desk, staring at a blank page. You need to show up, and you need to have that confidence and that courage.

So train hard, put your heart into it, and be brave. We got this.

Quote of the Day

I am not interested in the ephemeral…I am interested in those things that repeat and repeat and repeat in the lives of the millions.–Thornton Wilder, The New York Times (6 November 1961)

As you may have gathered, Thornton Wilder is a new favorite writer. I recently saw a gorgeous production of Our Town (and spent the evening crying about how beautiful and fleeting life is). Walt gave me a copy of the play for Christmas and I finished reading it over the weekend–so good.

Like in the quote above, Our Town deals with the very ordinary daily activities that are deeply meaningful and connect humans across time. I feel like this is something I want to keep in mind in my own writing–what is lasting? What is eternal? What touches all of us at our most basic human level?

Package tf

A corpus of ancient texts and (linguistic) annotations represents a large body of knowledge. Text-Fabric makes that knowledge accessible to programmers and non-programmers.

Text-Fabric is machinery for processing such corpora as annotated graphs. It treats corpora and annotations as data, much like big tables, but without loosing the rich structure of text, such as embedding and multiple representations. It deals with text in a state where all markup is gone, but where the complete logical structure still sits in the data.

Whether a corpus comes from plain texts, OCR output, databases, XML, TEI: Text-Fabric has support to convert it to single column files, where each file corresponds with a feature of the text.

The Python library tf can be used to collect a bunch of features and display it as an annotated text. What ties the features together are natural numbers, that serve to anchor the elementary positions in the text as well as the relevant structures within the text.

When Text-Fabric loads a dataset of features, you can instruct it to get the features from anywhere. That means it supports workflows where annotations are produced by third parties and can be used against the original corpus, without additional work. It also facilitates mappings between ongoing versions of the corpus, so that annotations made on older versions can be ported to newer versions without redoing the annotation creation.

Straight to …

Text-Fabric is a matter of putting a few good ideas by others into practice.

While I wrote most of the code, a product like Text-Fabric is unthinkable without the contributions of avid users that take the trouble to give feedback and file issues, and have the zeal and stamina to hold on when things are frustrating and bugs overwhelming, and give encouragement when they are happy.

Elastos — The Last Element To Fulfill God’s Protocol

An Overview Of Elastos and the God Protocols

Life’s encrypted energy

The conceptualization of God has always been subjectively described/argued since the dawn of time. Some definitions include the characteristic of divine simplicity, omnipresence (present everywhere), omniscience (infinite knowledge), omnipotence (unlimited power), and having an eternal necessary existence. There are different approaches, philosophies, and religions like monotheistic with the belief that there is only one God or polytheism with many gods. Fortunately or unfortunately, this article won’t cover all these mysterious secrets of the universe but will analyze the crypto world with a similar abstraction. Find out what are the God Protocols and why Elastos is the missing element to perfect the first trustless third party in world history. Along the way, this article will also reveal the systemic issues of the current centralized infrastructures and why Elastos is needed to solve them.

History of the God Protocols

Originally published in 1997, Nick Szabo a computer scientist, legal scholar, and cryptographer known for his research in digital contracts and digital currency has released his hypothesis of the God Protocols. Basically, it was a protocol that everyone could trust also known as the Trust/God Protocol. In his article, this protocol states all parties will be sending their inputs to God. After receiving the inputs the God will maintain full confidentially, evaluate, and provide a definite result which will become the final output. This is the core concept of the God Protocols perfecting the first trustless third party of humankind.

In 1997, Adam back made Hashcash, in 1998 Wei Dai made B-money, in 1998 Nick Szabo created Bitgold, and in 2004 Hal Finney created RPOW. All these protocols used new technological concepts yet failed. Eleven years later in 2008, Bitcoin was introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto and successfully combined decades of cryptographic research; Merkle trees, hash functions, public-key cryptography, and digital signatures. Bitcoin introduced the first layer of the God Protocols, the blockchain.

A blockchain is simply a decentralized ledger or database containing all transactions across a peer-to-peer network, one where participants can confirm transactions without the need for a central authority. Miners validate new transactions and record them on the global ledger (blockchain) by competing to solve a difficult mathematical problem based on a cryptographic hash algorithm. The solution found is called the Proof-Of-Work. Bitcoin is a payment network without any central authority or banks handling transactions. Bitcoin is open-source (its design is public), nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part. Citizens don’t have to depend on central banks, traditional finance, or even on payment systems like Alipay or PayPal to send money where they want.

The blockchain-enabled a Cambrian explosion of multiple new life forms with different visions/goals/purposes. In the picture, blockchains represent the roots of the Tree Of Life, but what is the tree? Keep reading and you’ll find out at the end

Smart contracts were first proposed in 1994 by Nick Szabo, offering lines of code which can be stored on a blockchain and automatically executed when external predetermined terms and conditions are met. They are agreements or contracts which can be coded onto a blockchain. It’s in 2015 with Ethereum that smart contracts became a reality and brought up a new level of capabilities for the computing layer. Ethereum is a decentralized, open-source blockchain featuring smart contract functionality created by Vitalik Buterin, Gavin Woods, and a few other people. Even though there are many possible areas which have yet to be explored with this technology, there are use-cases today which are clear and exist such as in Banking, Financial Services, Digital Identity, Prediction markets, Decentralized Finance, record keeping, securities, derivatives and supply chain management.

Even with all the developments of blockchain and smart contracts, which all added/improved trustless storage, computing, and capabilities to the God protocol, there are still some huge flaws or vulnerabilities that make it insufficient as a trustless third party. A blockchain is a bookkeeping method. It can allow people to know how A transferred over to B, and this creates a new revolution of transparency and trust, but it does this slowly. It is more trustworthy but less efficient. Blockchain is not meant for transferring movies, and music, and messages, and sending large packets of data. Blockchain is a ledger, not an entire internet, and not an operating system.

Many issues need to be solved for the blockchain/smart-contracts to truly become a trustless third party. Scalability, Privacy, Connectivity, and Data Ownership.

Blockchains and smart contracts create the first two foundations for the existence of the God protocol, provided they are fully decentralized. Smart contracts, however, are limited because unless they are fed external data, they are isolated and unable to execute their programmed function.

Chainlink was a decentralized oracle network solution launched in November 2017 which provides real-world data to smart contracts on the blockchain, allowing them to interact with the outside world without sacrificing their features of decentralization. Oracles bridge both on and off-chain environments together with the use of APIs, working collectively without the reliability of one centralised source. Chainlink solved the connectivity problem by allowing smart contracts to communicate with the real world, thus bringing new life to the God Protocol.

Even if Oracles, however, are a revolutionary breakthrough, they still don’t solve all the aspects of scalability, decentralization and privacy since these challenges exist both at the core infrastructure, at the consensus level, and at the smart contract level. They also unfortunately don’t solve data ownership which is one of the most important parts of an ideal third party. In the next part of this article, you will finally understand why Elastos is so critical.

One Network, Many Chains -Andreas Antonopoulos Here’s the link for the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Segxvh5He2I

While we have many chains, in the end, they will all come together under one network and we will have the Internet of Money, the Internet of Value, the Internet of smart-contracts, the Internet of promises, the Internet of identities/reputations with decentralized systems that can change the way we interact as a society, one network, many chains”. -Andreas Antonopoulos

The design idea of Elastos originated from Rong Chen, a former Microsoft senior/executive software engineer with now 35 years of experience designing Operating Systems. For more information about Rong Chen and the history of how and why Elastos came to life, I recommend this article;

An Operating system is like Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS/iOS, Google’s Android OS, Linux Operating System but Elastos is not like the traditional operating system, it’s a decentralized network operating system, which means “Besides being open source, technically speaking, the biggest and most important difference is the Web OS. Elastos’ technical guiding ideology is, the internet doesn’t involve computing, and computing doesn’t involve the internet. In short, we are making sure the value is there on the internet. In other words, all the network communication between virtual machines is generated automatically. This phrase is the core and key of our technology.” — Rong Chen

Elastos is creating an industrial network operating system to connect every hardware and citizen safely together, where everyone owns their code and can join an internet of value that is decentralized and for everyone all whilst removing potential hacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) and centralized internet data.

Elastos is an everlasting framework with two levels of operating system abstractions working in tandem: (1) Elastos Runtimes — various local virtual machine operating systems, where dApps are sandboxed inside PC2s; (2) Elastos Carrier — the network operating system for the Smartweb Computer, which handles all communication logistics between PC2s. “Protocols can be swapped or replaced in time, but the OS abstraction API set is forever. This is really the Holy Grail for the new Internet”.

Knights Of The Round Table with the Holy Grail or Cyber Republic, the DAO Of Elastos

Elastos has a decentralized autonomous organisation (DAO) called The Cyber Republic with 12 community elected teams of the individuals who represent and act as the Governance Layer for this new Network Operating System. They collectively control a treasury for years of sustainability and prosperity and can make decisions on the direction and state of the protocol. There is also the Elastos Foundation, a dissolving entity which manages and funds over 70–80 developers from around the world to build the core framework. The Foundation, as the Elastos pillars development are complete, will progress into a legal Consortium after 2021 nurturing the ecosystem with the core teams for years to come.

Dissolving Elastos Foundation has been our commitment for the long term benefits of ELA compliance to regulations. Core teams will continue for years to come, I believe. But it’s not my call, hope you all understand. Satoshi left, Bitcoin took off, that would be a leap of faith. — Rong Chen

Elastos is the last decentralized Network Operating System and there are six blockchains in the ecosystem so far, but blockchains are only one component of the four pillars of Elastos.

1. ELA main-chain DPoS + PoW leveraging Bitcoin for security (60%+ of the bitcoin miners secure this chain)

2. Ethereum side-chain for smart-contracts with 133 000x more hash power and scaling through DPoS without losing decentralization since it’s tied to the ELA main-chain secured by Bitcoin

3. Elastos has its own Credit Oracle network in development based on Chainlink called ElaLink, which uses in-house DPoS nodes for consensus and receive payment in ELA. The next generation of De-Fi will be increasingly personalized and entirely private. For more info: https://elastos.info/development-begins-for-elastos-native-credit-oracle-network/

4. DID Sidechain (Decentralized Identifier): A W3C-compliant blockchain for decentralized identities that provides critical data to dApps

5. NEO side-chain with more hash power and decentralization since it’s tied to the ELA main-chain secured by Bitcoin. The original NEO only has 7 consensus nodes. NEO side-chain on Elastos is technically superior

6. Token generation side-chain

7. Infine scalable side-chain possibilities

Remember: Protocols can be swapped or replaced in time, but the OS abstraction API set is forever. This is really the Holy Grail for the new Internet. — Rong Chen

Elastos should be viewed in a similar light to Bitcoin. Remember earlier when we talked about how Bitcoin came to life? Adam Back made Hashcash, Wei Dai made B-Money, Nick Szabo created Bitgold, Hal Finney created RPOW but all the elements alone were not enough. Bitcoin was the first to bring together decades of cryptographic research; Merkle trees, hash functions, public-key cryptography, and digital signatures. Well, Elastos is going the same thing, but instead of doing it for the monetary system, it’s doing it for the internet. It’s the first to bring together a host of technologies into one unique utility suite to create a Smartweb, a fully autonomous and decentralised God Protocol. These are the elements;

1. Blockchains; Bitcoin like mainchain, Ethereum/NEO smart-contracts, Personal credit Oracle with ElaLink, Digital identity chain/credentials, Token issuance. Elastos allows any chain to join its network and benefits from greater security, scalability, and decentralization.

2. Personal Cloud Compute(PC2) / Run time environment. ElastOS: A mobile application for developers to create and launch truly decentralised apps (DApps), which can’t be shut down or controlled by any third party, called Capsules.

3. More than 400 000 Carrier nodes: A decentralized peer-to-peer network that replaces the IP-based system and transports traffic between DApps and virtual computers.

4. Hive 2.0: Providing users with a series of decentralized storage solutions via elastOS (private, shared & public).

”If we could have peer-to-peer trading of digital assets with private ownership, that’s true capitalism for the first time on the Internet. Today we trade offline goods, but can you trade online virtual digital assets and build a virtual economy which protects users data? To send a digital asset you have to send code not, for instance, a file that can be played by a media player. Let’s say if I send you binary code which is my encrypted data, I if I sold it to you, you can now run it and whilst I still have a copy on my hard drive if I run it on the network, it’ll say okay Rong you don’t have the right anymore, that’s where when you share value, your sharing code. When your sharing code we call it a Smartweb. A Network Operating System is the real solution to solving our internets virus, DDoS and piracy issues”. — Rong Chen

I recommend this article for more information about the potential value of ELA. The article covers the Ecosystem Value, Economical Value, and Speculative Value after reading the article. The next parts of this article are personally my favorites.

The Hydra

The Hydra represents the centralized monopolies in this context (Tech Giants)

In Greek mythology, The Hydra was a mythical creature with many heads, If you tried to cut off one head, two more would grow back in its place unless you knew the right solution. This is a picture representing all the current centralized monopolies that own all the data. Fortunately, Elastos knows and has the right solution in hand to take back.

The current Internet cannot protect users’ privacy and data, resulting in de facto data centralization, which seriously hinders the prosperity of the Internet economy moving forward. With centralization of power, comes lack of security, transparency, and responsibility as the entities become so colossal that their power become monopolistic, meaning they can make their own rules at the expense of their consummers. For example Facebook and all the big tech sell people’s data without any consequences. This data doesn’t even belong to them, since it’s the users that produce the data, meaning the decision over what’s done with that data should become a choice at the user level. The absence of data ownership is a crucial privacy concern as the world progress into a digital era. Only Elastos could truly solve this issue.

Even, Mark Zuckerberg who is currently trying to issue Libra/Diem is announcing that Facebook is going to be a data privatization platform, this is actually not only the blockchain but also the support of a completely decentralized new generation of the Internet. Elastos has the right vision and is the only one that people can truly trust. The infrastructure that caused all these problems won’t become the solution of these systems. I recommend reading this article to understand the value of data privatization which is a multi-trillion dollars target making ELA an asset within a new major class, which promises to give back to humanity their most valued resource, data.

The current market needs a better credit reporting system should first clarify the ownership of personal data, break the monopoly of heads, and promote the free transaction and circulation of data. The Key signature is conformed and the content is encrypted on the chain to ensure the privacy of the information subject and realize the protection of data privacy; finally, to achieve friendly supervision, any violation of data privacy can be monitored and traced to achieve penetrating supervision” — Feng Han

Elastos complete the God Protocols by successfully bringing together a combination of unique components to create a perfect platform, one where everyone is equal and can produce wealth by creating, owning, buying and selling digital assets online like physical goods today. An environment where no third party and no single entity controls the platform itself. A true Smartweb for all. Your data, your control. The concept that everyone trust “God”, and “God” knows everyone’s secrets (with big data) is important to understand because the God can’t possibly be a corporation or a government. It can only come from a consensus agreed by the public.

“The paradigm shifts of the IT industry in the last forty years is also important to understand.

PC — you own your data, but everyone was in his/her separate data silo.

The World Wide Web, Web1 — partial data ownership being transferred to Websites which is controlled by monopolies.

Mobile Social Networks, Web2 — not only is all data being stored in clouds and owned by big brothers but your data is also meddled with by big-data and AI algorithms.

PC2, Elastic Personal Cloud Compute empowers individuals so they are on an equal footing with all businesses.

The Smartweb, Web3, returns back to the founding fathers’ dream of the Internet being a decentralized utility domain for all of mankind”. — Rong Chen

The Tree of Life

“The Tree of Life commonly represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe. It symbolizes togetherness and serves as a reminder that you are never alone or isolated, but rather that you are connected to the world. The roots of the Tree of Life dig deep and spread into the earth, thereby accepting nourishment from Mother Earth, and its branches reach up into the sky, accepting energy from the sun”

In the Tree Of Life, Blockchains, Smart-contracts, Oracles, and other potential blockchains protocols represent the roots. They grow deeper into the soil collecting nutrients/water/energy solidifying the foundation and security of the Tree. The trunk of the Tree represents the decentralized network OS, supporting the whole living system. The branches and twigs represent the next waves of businesses leveraging the ecosystem and the leaves would simply represent the fruits/flowers of their economical benefits. Finally, the users/activity represent the sun, to stimulate the process of photosynthesis transforming light energy into encrypted energy.

’The operating system is the foundation and soul of all software’’ — Rong Chen.

Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy,” — Michael Saylor.

Bitcoin indirectly supports the Elastos vision and both together will help to enable the 4th Industrial Revolution. The Elastos Internet Operating System focusing on re-decentralizing the Internet is also part of the World Economic Forum an International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. Only Elastos, Chainlink, ConsenSys, and Hedera are part of The Global Innovators, an invitation-only group of the world’s most promising start-ups and scale-ups.

In the end, the Tree Of Life is represented as the whole Elastos ecosystem since it supports/utilized all these current and potential new elements/layers at the roots. As you can see, Elastos enable the Era of Quantum Wealth which is the beginning of the true Web 3.0.

Note: The author do no longer believe that Elastos is the last element of God’s protocol, my views have changed a lot and I do not want to mislead people with this article.

Why The Elastos Decentralized Internet is the Most Significant Breakthrough since Ethereum

What is Elastos?

First of all, Elastos is not an entity, it’s a global movement to build a new decentralized Internet that works for everyone. To understand Elastos, you have to understand that blockchain is only 1 component of its 4 pillars.

More technically, the base layer of Elastos is a decentralized network operating system similar to Apple(MacOS) Microsoft(Windows), and Linux but on the Elastos Internet, all the users own their content/data and more (that we will get into later). Its decentralized network has 215 000 nodes that we call carriers, they are smart devices like Apple TV. It’s this peer-to-peer network (no third party) that will handle and process all decentralized applications. It’s simply the best possible solution to scale, be decentralized, and secure by avoiding potential hacks, distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS), and centralized internet data.

On the Elastos Internet, all the data is stored on decentralized cloud storage called Hive++ (similar to Filecoin). It is less expensive than Google Cloud or other centralized cloud storage solutions. This is already a game-changer because on the current Internet, users don’t own their data/content and everything is stored on centralized cloud storage which is expensive and vulnerable. It’s even worst since all the applications on Apple Store, Google play, or others can steal your data and resell it to make profits on your back. On Elastos, none of the applications can steal your data & users will monetize their own data (on data market places). In fact, data is the most valuable thing of this century and we sadly give it for free to all companies/apps on the current Internet. Good for us, people are starting to be more aware of this issue, even some documentaries are being made, like this one on Netflix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaaC57tcci0&feature=emb_logo

The Elastos Internet has the main browser called Trinity (similar to Firefox, Chrome). It integrates all the services that Elastos provides and combines them into a singular environment for DApp developers to easily build dApps, and for users to easily use those dApps. All the users on the Elastos Internet will have a DID (Decentralized Identifier) refers to an ID that can be issued by an autonomous, independent, and decentralized platform that acts as a proof of ownership of digital identity.

The Elastos Internet is made of many different parts;

All Crypto projects can be supported and benefits from Elastos

Elastos solves the trilemma of all blockchain projects out there — the problem of security using the trusted runtime environment, scalability using the main chain sidechains solutions, and decentralization using the peer to peer network.

Currently, Ethereum and NEO are implemented but Polkadot, Cardano, Solana, Binance Smart Chain, EOS, Avalanche, Cosmos, and others could be implemented if needed and benefit from greater security, scalability, and decentralization. These blockchains and their applications are in theory all accessible from Elastos and could benefit from this new environment as every one of these listed projects can be ported as side-chains to the ever-growing Elastos ecosystem.

What are the similarities and differences between Elastos and Ethereum?

Ethereum has only one mainchain that is being pushed to its extreme limits in computing and scalability. Elastos proposes a mainchain and alternative chain structure where the mainchain is solely responsible for ID verification and payments while the alternative chains execute smart contracts to supports different applications and services. Ethereum has redundancy and network congestion problems. The fact that all the data and code is placed on the mainchain causes a lot of data to be redundant in the primary storage. On Elastos the applications run in the Elastos Runtime(a lightweight virtual operating system). This method is more secure. All the data has to pass through trusted and verifiable channels. Elastos Runtime can come in multiple forms such as an independent OS, a virtual machine, or a software development kit (SDK) that allows the integration of applications from other operating systems. On Ethereum, after the acquisition of the data, the DApps are executed on a user interface that can cause a risk of exposing the data. Elastos is secured up until the hearth of your device. Because the DApps are not allowed to connect to the internet directly they are not subject to DDOS attacks. While Ethereum supports only Solidity, Elastos supports C/C++, Java, Swift, Javascript, and HTML5. The various SDKs will allow even more programming languages to be supported targeted for other platforms.

Ethereum is a single, shared public VM. ElastOS is a network of private, self sovereign VMs that can exchange code.

The difference between the two is huge. ElastOS is a first mover in its own right, it doesn’t need to displace Ethereum, it allows a whole new class of apps. — Diesel

Enabling the 4th Industrial Revolution

Elastos is needed for the non-fungible token to work

The concept of NFT doesn’t work on smart contract platforms like ETH and others since you don’t exchange peer-to-peer codes. Crypto-Kitties had zero value since you only bought a line of code without owning anything, it was owned by a third party who was able to do whatever they wanted with it. We need Elastos(ELA) to make this work. Every NFTs on Ethereum or other crypto platforms don’t work except for Elastos. It would work for them if they had Elastos has layer one on top of their chains (read above again). It’s the only one who can truly exchange peer-to-peer codes without third parties being shut down since the dapps on Elastos cannot be cut off and don’t use centralized cloud storage.

The Elastos Internet vs the current Internet

Elastos doesn’t directly compete with Windows, iOS, and Android. Elastos will exist as an application (virtual machine) on smartphones and personal computers. You can utilize the new Elastos internet at the same time as the current Internet. Basically, you will have access to 2 Internets at the same time (if you are not blown away by this, I don’t know what will).

The Elastos DAO called Cyber Republic

The DAO is called Cyber Republic. It’s a global, decentralized community government helping to build and secure the Elastos Internet. It creates a self-running and self-governed community of entrepreneurs and developers who can function independently of Elastos but with the unified goal to grow it into a global success. Elastos has the most advanced governance project in the crypto space. Entrepreneurs and developers can get funding through our DAO if they are worthy enough. 12 council members were elected, made up of intellectuals, teams, devs, entrepreneurs, and more. Note that the DAO is not a part of the Elastos Foundation. For the moment more than 80 developers are active and work for the Elastos Foundation.

What are the benefits of using the ELA coins ?

ELA fuels the entire Elastos ecosystem. ELA is the main chain’s base currency used for processing peer-to-peer payments, storing info on the DID sidechain, and executing smart contracts on ETH and NEO sidechains or any other chains implemented in the future. It is also used for the trading of digital goods throughout the entire ecosystem. From a speculator perspective, Elastos(ELA) is like digital black gold (see picture below), it’s a medium of exchanges for data that you own. Data is more valuable than oil and gold and will become the store of value of our 4th Industrial Revolution because, for the 21st Century Enterprise, data is the most significant intangible asset, powering new technologies and an ecosystem of third-parties providing everything-as-a-service.

Data in the 21st Century is like Oil in the 18th Century: an immensely, untapped valuable asset. Like oil, for those who see Data’s fundamental value and learn to extract and use it, there will be huge rewards. We’re in a digital economy where data is more valuable than ever. It’s the key to the smooth functionality of everything from the government to local companies. Without it, progress would halt.”

Secured/mined together, working together and changing the world together. ELA main-chain DPoS + PoW leveraging Bitcoin for security (60%+ of the bitcoin miners secure this chain)

Elastos should be viewed in a similar light to Bitcoin. Adam Back made Hashcash, Wei Dai made B-Money, Nick Szabo created Bitgold, Hal Finney created RPOW but all the elements alone were not enough. Bitcoin was the first to bring together decades of cryptographic research; Merkle trees, hash functions, public-key cryptography, and digital signatures.

Well, Elastos is going the same thing, but instead of doing it for the monetary system, it’s doing it for the internet. It’s the first to bring together a host of technologies into one unique utility suite to create a Smartweb (fully autonomous).

Elastos got the same miners, similar economics/supply/inflation, way more utilities and is the reserve assets for Web 3.0 in my opinion while Bitcoin is the reserve assets for crypto and maybe for the world in the future as digital gold.

Coin economics

Currently, 18,391,212 ELA are in circulation out of 23,084,774 ELA. 40% is staked. Thus, only 11 034 728 ELA is technically in circulation. The voting/staking rewards is 5% per year (before the halving in December 2021) , you only have to vote for the validators/supernodes through the light wallet or mobile wallet to be rewarded. You will have 36votes and here’s a website to see the validators and why you should vote for them. https://elanodes.com. Please note that if you are using ledger, you will only be able to vote for 22/36 validators for the moment. For more info on the value of ELA coin:

Elastos main-chain

The Elastos main-chain has between 60%-80% of the Bitcoin hashrate and has its own DPoS consensus making it more expensive to attack and secure than Ethereum. It’s a hybrid PoW/DPoS consensus.

Elastos is ranked near the top on Github activity as well

Revision e1246c37

Parent 2d924f8a
Child 26c61734

Added by Bob Lantz over 9 years ago

Simplify port specification.

For the moment, I've removed the ability to specify
a dict of options without using **. This is a slightly
unfortunate trade-off since it simplifies implementation
at the expense of making the API slightly less convenient
(if somewhat more consistent.)

I use the portal for my business processes. There is already a portal deployed as part of the engine. How should I deploy my projects which depends on the portal projects?

Variant 1 - One Application: All projects in one application (Portal Projects / Custom Projects).

Variant 2 - Multiple Applications: One Application for the portal and one or multiple custom applications for my custom projects? How does the user mangement works in this case?

Both of your two variants will work.

Variant 1: This is the easier way. You can create a complete new application and deploy all projects in that application (portal projects / custom projects). You can configure one security system that is valid for all of those projects. Because you can't change a security system of an application, you must create a new application instead of reusing the already deployed portal application - if you don't want to use the Ivy Security System. If you use the already deployed portal application, please remove the preconfigured user or change the passwords.

Variant 2: You can also create multiple applications. One application for the portal projects and one or multiple applications for your custom projects. But you have to ensure that all users are also available in the portal application as in the custom applications.

A common use case could be: - Application A: Portal Projects - Application B: Finance Projects - Application C: Human Resource Projects

If your security system is an Active Directory you can use filters for application B and application C, which filters all Finance employees or human resource employees. For the application A (portal) you must include both (finance and human resource employees).

One major issue for this deployment is, that you need for each user two licenses.

Mini Pizza Pucks

mini pizza pucks_edited-1

Our whole family loves pizza. Lately I have been trying to find simple dishes for weekday meals, what with Little B getting involved in evening activities and Big D and I with busy work days. In our endeavor to avoid wheat there are few alternatives for quick pizza where we live. The local pizza places just give blank looks when the words ‘wheat free’ or ‘gluten free’ are used, and delivery is a joke when wheat free is concerned. To be fair, there is one place with gluten free pizza, but it is still has nutrition-poor carbohydrates in a rice based crust. Not the end of the world for Little B on the rare occasion, but for me and Big D, who need to avoid the carbs, it is not a solution. These pizza pucks I made are a result of spontaneous experimentation. I tried to combine my cheese crisps and low carb pizza recipes to make this meal and it turned out pretty darned good! They were quick, fun and Little B enjoyed helping making them, of course. I call them pizza pucks, not because they are overly hard or difficult to eat, but because you can pack them up, like pucks, and I am currently living in a place where hockey is popular. I am not yet ensconced in watching or playing the sport, I just went with it. And it is cold. What other time of the year can you call pretty much anything a puck? Besides being a good dinner, the leftovers worked well as a cold snack on the way to Little B’s soccer practice, or ballet, or whatever happens after five but before bedtime that does not involve crashing on the couch at home. What better snack than some protein before running around for an hour or more? Maybe I should come up with some pizza balls to go with the soccer theme, but that is for another day and time…

Mini Pizza Pucks

3 cups shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese
1/2 cup golden flaxseed meal
1 egg
1 Tbsp dried parsley leaves
1 Tbsp dried basil leaves
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1 cup large black olives
6 roasted or pickled garlic cloves (you can use raw, but they may not cook through and cause problems for sensitive stomachs)
20 – 30 slices pepperoni
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor combine olives and garlic, then pulse until a rough paste forms. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses with flaxseed meal. whisk the egg and add to cheese mixture, folding it in until the cheese is coated. Add the salt, parsley, basil and garlic powder, doing a final few stirs to distribute the spices. On two nonstick cookie sheets make flat piles of cheese, about 2 inches in diameter with about an inch between them. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of olive paste on each pile, spreading it gently with the bottom of the spoon. Place one to two slices of pepperoni on each pile, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake in the oven (using two different rack levels) for 12 – 15 minutes, until the edges of cheese begin to brown and the pepperoni glistens. Yes, it must glisten to have the right flavor. Remove from oven and let cool for five minutes before serving.

Safety upbringing and education in Sweden and ethics

This article is an attempt to highlight the main areas of general Swedish pedagogical issues in the context of building a secure basis of upbringing and education. Fidelity to the democratic values seems to be the most basic guarantee of safe upbringing and education. Interculturalism, tolerance, internationality promoted in the educational system at all levels to protect democracy and in which values to educate citizens. However, more often recognizes that without a clearly defined ethical upbringing and education system is not completely safe and does not sufficiently protect democratic values. There is a need for the security of the democratic system and also for the sake of upbringing and education, the adoption of ethical categories. They are primary to the original democratic values. Ethics based on the natural law defines good and evil in a more credible than do the community through its culture, fashion and law. Closing the ethics results as an fundamentalism which often falls in the modern world. This trend is particularly dangerous for the sphere of education and upbringing of the young generation.

Everything Tagged "Leather"

(In reverse chronological order)

A History of Leather at Pride: 1965-1995

This history is also available as a PDF or EPUB, which may be more pleasant for reading.

The argument goes like this.

Kink, leather, and BDSM do not belong at Pride. First, they aren’t actually LGBTQ: kink is also practiced by straight people (Baker-Jordan, 2021). Moreover, those queer people who do display kink at Pride expose vulnerable people to harmful symbols and acts. They wear pup hoods and rubber bodices, they dress in studded codpieces and leather harnesses, they sport floggers, handcuffs, and nipple clamps (lesbiansofpower, 2021; stellar_seabass, 2021). Some demonstrate kinky acts: they crack whips in the parade and chain themselves up on floats. Some have sex in public (kidpiratez, 2021).

These displays harm three classes of people. Children (and the larger class of minors, e.g. those under 18 or 21) are innocent and lack the sophistication to process what they are seeing: exposure to kink might frighten them or distort their normal development (Angel, 2021; Barrie, 2021). Asexual people, especially those who are sex-repulsed, may suffer emotional harm by being confronted with overt displays of sexuality (Dusty, 2021; roseburgmelissa, 2021). Finally, those with trauma may be triggered by these displays (stymstem, 2021). These hazards exclude vulnerable people from attending Pride: kink is therefore a barrier to accessibility (RiLo_10, 2021; Vaush, 2021).

Consent is key to healthy BDSM practice, but the public did not consent to seeing these sexual displays (Baker-Jordan, 2021; busytoebeans, 2021; prettycringey, 2021). By wearing leather harnesses and chaining each other up in broad daylight, kinksters have unethically involved non-consenting bystanders in a BDSM scene for their own (likely sexual) gratification (anemersi, 2021; Bartosch, 2020; Xavier’s Online, 2021a, 2021b). The lack of consent to these sexual displays constitutes a form of sexual assault (PencilApocalyps, 2021). At worst, the fact that children may be present in the crowd makes these displays pedophilia (Rose, 2021), and (if one is so inclined) exemplifies the moral degeneracy of the entire LGBTQ community and impending collapse of civilization (Dreher, 2021; Keki, 2019)1.

Not everyone holds all of these views, or holds them to this degree; this is a synthesis of one pole in a diverse and vigorous debate. Nevertheless, calls to ban kink at Pride remain a mainstay of Twitter and Tumblr every June. To some extent this position is advanced by anti-gay reactionaries on 4chan and Telegram channels (Piper, 2021), but this is not the whole story: many opposed to kink at Pride identify themselves as queer, or at least queer-friendly (Mahale, 2021).

moveRenderObjectChild method Null safety

  1. @override
void moveRenderObjectChild(
  1. covariant RenderObject child,
  2. covariant Object? oldSlot,
  3. covariant Object? newSlot

Move the given child from the given old slot to the given new slot.

The given child is guaranteed to have renderObject as its parent.

The semantics of slot are determined by this element. For example, if this element has a single child, the slot should always be null. If this element has a list of children, the previous sibling element wrapped in an IndexedSlot is a convenient value for the slot.

This method is only ever called if updateChild can end up being called with an existing Element child and a slot that differs from the slot that element was previously given. MultiChildRenderObjectElement does this, for example. SingleChildRenderObjectElement does not (since the slot is always null). An Element that has a specific set of slots with each child always having the same slot (and where children in different slots are never compared against each other for the purposes of updating one slot with the element from another slot) would never call this.

void moveRenderObjectChild(RenderObject child, Object? oldSlot, Object? newSlot) {

# Apps

cnvrg is a full-stack platform, designed to simplify every aspect of your workflow.

One important part of any data scientist’s work is presenting their work to others. That project you’ve been working on for weeks won’t go on much longer if you aren’t able to effectively communicate what you have achieved. cnvrg can make that task easier than ever.

cnvrg works easily and seamlessly with three major data communication platforms so you can use whatever is most convenient and efficient for your and your team’s needs.

The topics in this page:

# R Shiny

Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build interactive web apps straight from R. You can host standalone apps on a webpage or embed them in R Markdown documents or build dashboards. You can also extend your Shiny apps with CSS themes, htmlwidgets, and JavaScript actions.

Learn how to use R Shiny.

# Use R Shiny

To set up an R Shiny dashboard:

  1. Navigate to Apps in your project.
  2. Click R Shiny
  3. For File, enter the full path of the R Shiny app.R file.
  4. In Advanced Settings:
    1. For Image, select the default cnvrg_r image.
    2. For Compute, click the compute you would like to use.
  5. Click Publish. cnvrg will spin up the compute and start running the R Shiny server.

The R Shiny file must be called app.R.

If no path is given, app.R is assumed to be in the project's parent directory. If you enter the full path (in the project) for File, for example, my_folder/app.R, then that file will be loaded from the correct subdirectory.

# R Shiny logs

The logs for the R Shiny server can be found within the compute at /var/log/shiny-server

# Customize the R Shiny configuration with a custom image

You can modify the R Shiny configuration to better suit your own requirements. By default, cnvrg starts the R Shiny server using the command exec shiny-server 2>&1 and runs using the following configuration:

# Instruct Shiny Server to run applications as the user "shiny"
run_as shiny;
# Define a server that listens on port 3838
server {
  listen 3838;
  # Define a location at the base URL
  location / {
    # Host the directory of Shiny Apps stored in this directory
    site_dir /cnvrg; #or a path of the app.R file
    # Log all Shiny output to files in this directory
    log_dir /var/log/shiny-server;
    # When a user visits the base URL rather than a particular application,
    # an index of the applications available in this directory will be shown.
    directory_index on;

If you would like to start the server in your own customized way, create a custom image and save your custom configuration file as /init. If /init exists, cnvrg will use it start the shiny server otherwise it will run with the default server startup:

# Make sure the directory for individual app logs exists
mkdir -p /var/log/shiny-server
chown shiny.shiny /var/log/shiny-server
if [ "$APPLICATION_LOGS_TO_STDOUT" != "false" ];
    # push the "real" application logs to stdout with xtail in detached mode
    exec xtail /var/log/shiny-server/ &
# start shiny server
exec shiny-server 2>&1

# Dash

Dash is a productive Python framework for building web applications.

Written on top of Flask, Plotly.js, and React.js, Dash is ideal for building data visualization apps with highly custom user interfaces in pure Python. It's particularly suited for anyone who works with data in Python.

Through a few simple patterns, Dash abstracts away all of the technologies and protocols that are required to build an interactive web-based application. Dash is simple enough that you can bind a user interface around your Python code in an afternoon.

Dash apps are rendered in the web browser. You can deploy your apps to servers and then share them through URLs. Since Dash apps are viewed in the web browser, Dash is inherently cross-platform and mobile ready.

Learn how to use Dash.

# Voilà

Voilà turns Jupyter notebooks into standalone web applications.

Not only does it create visual graphs to make reporting easier, it also democratizes Jupyter notebooks for non-technical users. With Voilà, every notebook can be turned into a Voilà app. Better yet, you can create a customized dashboard with results of your machine learning project. Voilà supports Jupyter interactive widgets, including roundtrips to the kernel. It improves the conciseness by not permitting arbitrary code execution by consumers of dashboards.

Other benefits of Voilà are that it is built upon Jupyter standard protocols and file formats, and works with any Jupyter kernel (C++, Python, Julia). This makes Voilà a language-agnostic dashboarding system. On top of everything, Voilà is extensible and includes a flexible template system to produce rich application layouts. That means you can easily customize your dashboard based on the Jupyter notebook being deployed.

# Deploy an App

To deploy an app:

  1. Enter the project you want to publish your app from.
  2. Select Apps on the sidebar.
  3. Choose the app type, enter the file that will be used for the app and allocate a compute.
  4. If necessary, choose a dataset and fill in the other options.
  5. Click Publish.

cnvrg will do the rest for you!

# Update a Deployed App

You can update a deployed app without redeploying from scratch. To update an app:

  1. Go to the app you wish to update.
  2. Click Versions on the top menu bar.
  3. Select a new cnvrg.io Commit to update the service to.
  4. Click Update. cnvrg will update the app to use the new chosen commit.

When connected to git, clicking Update will also pull the latest git commit for your branch (even if you do not choose a new cnvrg Commit).

Through it all, Tami was there, working tirelessly, diligently, helping Mom and us understand issues and ramifications. She patiently explained things to us, sometimes more than once, until we got it. Of utmost importance to her was Mom's comfort. Tami was also concerned-expressed repeatedly-about each of us, Mom's family, as we went through our own emotional and exhausting roller coaster rides. We looked forward each day to seeing Tami. She obviously cared deeply for Mom. Tami became like family to us. I wanted to hug her hello and goodbye. Everyday her knowledge and skills were evident. Such as, for 1 tiny example, the day 02 saturation was dropping, chest tubes were in, Tami analyzed the best position to put mom into with those tubes in order to maximize 02 saturation. It worked. Tami's tireless, devoted, and skilled passion for our mother's well being made a huge impression on us. She stood out as a nurse willing and able to go beyond the normal call of duty."
