This book provides a quick introduction to the Python programming language. Python is a popular object-oriented language used for both standalone programs and scripting applications in a variety of domains. It's free, portable, powerful, and remarkably easy to use. Whether you're new to programming or a professional developer, this book's goal is to bring you up to speed on the core Python language in a hurry. Before we jump into details, we'd like to use this preface to say a few words about the book's design.
Although this text covers the essentials of the Python language, we've kept its scope narrow in the interest of speed and size. Put another way, the presentation is focused on core concepts and is sometimes deliberately simplistic. Because of that, this book is probably best described as both an introduction and a stepping stone to more advanced and complete texts.
For example, we won't say anything about Python/C integration—a big, complicated topic, with lots of big, complicated examples, which is nevertheless central to many Python-based systems. We also won't talk much about the Python community, Python's history, or some of the philosophies underlying Python development. And popular Python applications such as GUIs, system tools, network scripting, and numeric programming get only a short survey at the end (if they are mentioned at all). Naturally, this misses some of the big picture.
By and large, Python is about raising the quality bar a few notches in the scripting world. Some of its ideas require more context than can be provided here, and we'd be remiss if we didn't recommend further study after you finish this text. We hope that most readers of this book will eventually go on to gain a deeper and more complete understanding, from texts such as O'Reilly's Programming Python. The rest of the Python story requires studying examples that are more realistic than there is space for here.[1]
[1] See http://www.ora.com and http://www.python.org for details on supplemental Python texts. Programming Python was written by one of this book's authors. As its title implies, it discusses practical programming issues in detail.
But despite its limited scope (and perhaps because of it), we think you'll find this to be a great first book on Python. You'll learn everything you need to get started writing useful standalone Python programs and scripts. By the time you've finished this book, you will have learned not only the language itself, but also how to apply it to day-to-day tasks. And you'll be equipped to tackle more advanced topics as they come your way.
Much of this book is based on training materials developed for a three-day hands-on Python course. You'll find exercises at the end of most chapters, with solutions in Appendix C. The exercises are designed to get you coding right away, and are usually one of the highlights of the course. We strongly recommend working through the exercises along the way, not only to gain Python programming experience, but also because some exercises raise issues not covered elsewhere in the text. The solutions at the end should help if you get stuck (we encourage you to cheat as much and as often as you like). Naturally, you'll need to install Python to run the exercises; more on this in a moment.
Because this text is designed to introduce language basics quickly, we've organized the presentation by major language features, not examples. We'll take a bottom-up approach here: from built-in object types, to statements, to program units, and so on (in fact, if you've seen Appendix E in Programming Python, parts of this book may stir up feelings of déjà vu). Each chapter is fairly self-contained, but later chapters use ideas introduced in earlier ones (e.g., by the time we get to classes, we'll assume you know how to write functions), so a linear reading probably makes the most sense. From a broader perspective, this book is divided into three sections:
This part of the book presents the Python language, in a bottom-up fashion. It's organized with one chapter per major language feature—types, functions, and so forth—and most of the examples are small and self-contained (some might also call the examples in this section artificial, but they illustrate the points we're out to make). This section represents the bulk of the text, which tells you something about the focus of the book.
We begin with a quick introduction to Python and then look at how to run Python programs so you can get started coding examples and exercises immediately.
Next, we explore Python's major built-in object types: numbers, lists, dictionaries, and so on. You can get a lot done in Python with these tools alone.
The next chapter moves on to introduce Python's statements—the code you type to create and process objects in Python.
This chapter begins our look at Python's higher-level program structure tools. Functions turn out to be a simple way to package code for reuse.
Python modules let you organize statements and functions into larger components, and this chapter illustrates how to create, use, and reload modules on the fly.
Here we explore Python's object-oriented programming (OOP) tool, the class. As you'll see, OOP in Python is mostly about looking up names in linked objects.
We wrap up the section with a look at Python's exception handling model and statements. This comes last, because exceptions can be classes if you want them to be.
In this section, we sample Python's built-in tools, and put them to use in a more or less random collection of small example programs.
This chapter presents a selection of the modules and functions that are included in the default Python installation. By definition, they comprise the minimum set of modules you can reasonably expect any Python user to have access to. Knowing the contents of this standard toolset will likely save you weeks of work.
This chapter presents a few nontrivial programs. By building on the language core explained in Part I and the built-in tools described in Chapter 8, we present many small but useful programs that show how to put it all together. We cover three areas that are of interest to most Python users: basic tasks, text processing, and system interfaces.
This final chapter shows how real applications can be built, leveraging on more specialized libraries that are either part of the standard Python distribution or freely available from third parties. The programs in this chapter are the most complex, but also the most satisfying to work through. We close with a brief discussion of JPython, the Java port of Python, and a substantial JPython program.
The book ends with three appendixes that list Python resources on the Net (Appendix A), give platform-specific tips for using Python on Unix, Windows, and Macintosh-based machines (Appendix B), and provide solutions to exercises that appear at the end of chapters (Appendix C). Note: the index can be used to hunt for details, but there are no reference appendixes in this book per se. The Python Pocket Reference from O'Reilly (http://www.ora.com), as well as the free Python reference manuals maintained at http://www.python.org, will fill in the details.
There are none to speak of, really. This is an introductory-level book. It may not be an ideal text for someone who has never touched a computer before (for instance, we're not going to spend a lot of time explaining what a computer is), but we haven't made many assumptions about your programming background or education. On the other hand, we won't insult readers by assuming they are "dummies" either (whatever that means); it's easy to do useful things in Python, and we hope to show you how. The text occasionally contrasts Python with languages such as C, C++, and Pascal, but you can safely ignore these comparisons if you haven't used such languages in the past.
One thing we should probably mention up front: Python's creator, Guido van Rossum, named it after the BBC comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus. Because of this legacy, many of the examples in this book use references to that show. For instance, the traditional "foo" and "bar" become "spam" and "eggs" in the Python world. You don't need to be familiar with the series to make sense of the examples (symbols are symbols), but it can't hurt.
Improvements happen (and so do mis^H^H^H typos). Updates, supplements, and corrections for this book will be maintained (or referenced) on the Web, at one of the following sites:
http://www.oreilly.com (O'Reilly's site)
http://rmi.net/~lutz (Mark's site)
http://starship.skyport.net/~da (David's site)
http://www.python.org (Python's main site)
If we could be more clairvoyant, we would, but the Web tends to change faster than books.

Random notes on a book by Kai-fu Lee
Its the first book on AI I ever read. Unfortunately, I stopped in about 3/4 of the book, I felt like it was getting repetitive.
- I liked the authors’ notes on China, it’s a topic I’m very interested in. Here are some thoughts that I haven’t heard before:
- Mobile apps are done differently in western countries - many apps for many different things instead of one big one for everything.
- Western companies routinely fail when investing money and resources into the Chinese market - they don’t adapt to different needs and habits of the Chinese.
- Chinese companies that rip off western brands (in the internet sphere) are not just lazy copycats, they are willing to adapt their product which makes them win out over the original.
- Chinas’ copycats competing against each other gave birth to great Chinese entrepreneurs.
- And some notes on AIs’ future (and China again):
- The age of implementation arrived and AI research might slow down.
- The amount and quality of data will be a big factor and China has a centralized mobile application (WeChat) that produces enormous amounts of data, and that also reaches much further into the real life of its’ own users more than any other western app.
- I never realized how much of the current AI is just on the internet and not in real life.
- Some topics from the latter part of the book:
- The potential loss of jobs and existential crisis.
- These topics seemed quite theoretical and were relying on a lot of what-ifs, so decided to skip them. Might revisit them later.

Provides an interface to run clear and backfill commands for a dag for either testing or production purposes.
The start date and end date you select create an interval in which airflow searches for dag execution dates that fall within this window. The dag execution date is based on the schedule_interval you set in your dag object. By default we have set this interval to be from yesterday 00:00:00 to yesterday 23:59:00, capturing a full 24 hours. For the majority of cases, the dag is scheduled to run nightly, and this interval will suffice, but in the case that your dag is more or less frequent than nightly, you will have to shrink the time interval (if more frequent) or you will have to extend the day interval (if less frequent) for your execution date to fall within the interval.

Welcome to the Ordinary & Armorial of the SCA
This O&A is a web-based searchable database of the names and armory registered by the College of Arms of the Society for Creative Anachronism.
Use these tools to find registered names and armory:
-
The Ordinary provides an index of currently-registered armory based on a description of the field or charges they contain. The Ordinary is useful for finding armory based on a picture, or for conflict-checking new armory submissions. The Ordinary works in conjunction with the Armory Description Search Form which shows registered items that appear under a particular heading.
-
The Name Pattern Search Form finds items associated with a name. The pattern feature matches partial names and supports wildcards, so you can use it even if you don't know the exact spelling of the full name. There's also an exact-match Name Search Form which only works if you have the exact spelling of the full name.
-
The Blazon Pattern Search Form finds armory whose blazon contains particular words or text patterns. This tool can be useful, but should not be used for conflict checking, for which the Ordinary and the Armory Description Search Form are better suited.
-
The Date/Kingdom Search Form allows you to search for registrations during a particular time-period or via a particular kingdom.
-
The Complex Search Form allows you to do sophisticated searches on the database by combining the results of multiple queries. This form is tricky to use, but when configured properly can facilitate research and speed up armory conflict-checking.

Provides implementation of various methods of Functional Data
Analysis (FDA) and Empirical Dynamics. The core of this package is Functional
Principal Component Analysis (FPCA), a key technique for functional data
analysis, for sparsely or densely sampled random trajectories and time courses,
via the Principal Analysis by Conditional Estimation (PACE) algorithm or
numerical integration. PACE is useful for the analysis of data that have been
generated by a sample of underlying (but usually not fully observed) random
trajectories. It does not rely on pre-smoothing of trajectories, which is
problematic if functional data are sparsely sampled. PACE provides options
for functional regression and correlation, for Longitudinal Data Analysis,
the analysis of stochastic processes from samples of realized trajectories,
and for the analysis of underlying dynamics. The core computational algorithms
are implemented using the 'Eigen' C++ library for numerical linear algebra and
'RcppEigen' "glue".

Mobile Usability Test
Vinyl Me Please
This week we were asked to do the task as last week but using a mobile device instead. I had 3 participants look at the Vinyl Me Please website on my iPhone. Like before I had the users do a home page tour of the website to get a feel of it then I asked a few questions. I have since refined the questions.
- Where can one learn more about Vinyl Me Please?
- Where would you look to find information about joining the club?
- How much does it cost to join Vinyl Me Please?
- If you received a record and don’t like it, is there a return policy?
Demographics
All participants in this test were in their early to mid 30’s and included two males and one female.
Home Page Tour
The users were not confused about this site being a Magazine like the testers in the desktop test. They knew it was a music website with a focus on records. They even noticed something joining the club, but nothing obvious about a record of the month club though one user mentioned they saw “Record of the Month.”
Also, I got a lot of comments about how they like the flow of the site on a mobile platform. It was a lot more streamlined and “blockey” as one testers noticed.
1. Where can one learn more about Vinyl Me Please?
Testers were a little confused on how to learn more about Vinyl Me Please. While looking around one user said “no idea” and started clicking the social media buttons at the bottom of the screen. They all eventually saw the “About Us” at the bottom of the page.
2. Where would you look to find information about joining the club?
All users found the Join The Club button at the bottom of the page. The bottom of the page seems to be where the users start to go when they want to know more information about the page. One user actually clicked on the hamburger and saw Join The Club.
3. How much does it cost to join Vinyl Me Please?
All users, again, went to the bottom of the page and saw “Sign Up for $25 or Less.”
4. If you received a record and don’t like it, is there a return policy?
This one was a little harder for the testers. While they all went to the bottom of the page one user couldn’t find the return policy. One found information about swapping a record while the other found the return policy but said it was too long to read.
Analysis and thoughts
Same as with the desktop test, it was hard for some of the users to get an immediate idea of what the page was about. They knew that had to do with records but weren’t too sure if it was a club or not. When you click on the Join the Club page then it gets more obvious what the club is about. I would recommend that Vinyl Me Please try to make their front page obvious that it is a record of the month club like their Join the Club page. The first thing you see on the Join the Club page is “Get an exclusive record delivered monthly,…” Something like this should be a byline on the front page.
I would think a business would want their About Us easier to find. It’s fine to have About Us at the bottom of the page but testers took a little longer than they should trying to find that information, especially when they were already confused as to the purpose of the page. I would add the About Us in the hamburger so it is easily accessible for the user.
Also, as mentioned during the desktop test there is some slight contradictory information on this page. I am not going to go into specifics again but I would recommend they go through some of that information and make sure it is accurate. If you are going to advertise that plans start $25 or less but the lowest plan found is $29, you need to really update that information or else people are not going to trust your business.

CASPER A film review by Thomas Wheeler Copyright 1995 Thomas Wheeler
I wasn't entirely sure what to expect when I entered the theater for CASPER. I'd seen some of the promos, which looked visually impressive, but Casper had never been one of my favorite comic/cartoon characters as a kid. I suppose my main reason for going was to see if the special effects would prove as impressive as the advertisements seemed to show them to be.
They were that and more. CASPER is yet another victory for the people (and computers!) at ILM, who in the past few years have brought us the magnificent visuals of JURASSIC PARK, and the more cartoonish images of THE FLINTSTONES. CASPER is a different sort of entity, appearing at once cartoonish and yet having to function, along with his three obnoxious uncles, in a comparatively realistic setting.
One of the prior reviewers mentioned that, after a time, he forgot he was looking at computer-generated images and accepted them as just other characters in the film. So did I, and I tend to be fairly analytical when it comes to special effects. Additionally, this movie should get an Oscar for set design. Casper's home makes the Addams Family mansion look like a reject from a trailer park.
Speaking of the Addams Family, Christina Ricci turns in a wonderful performance as young Kat, who quickly becomes Casper's close friend, the first he's ever really had. She's so charming, and has such a pleasant smile, it's a shame she never got to do that much in the Addams' films --!
This movie impressed me more on just the technical levels, though. Although the story is somewhat disjointed in areas, it works on the level it needs to. This movie never tries to be deeply philosophical, intellectual, or, thank God, political. All it ever tries to do is entertain, and in that, it succeeded magnificently.
The climatic scene, with Casper and Kat on the dance floor during a Halloween party, is one of the most charming scenes I've seen in movies in a very long time. Best of all, there is virtually nothing offensive in this film. A couple of scenes could be called, at worst, tasteless. For anyone looking for a movie that is just plain fun, and that you can take the kids to, CASPER gets my highest recommendation.

. BULWORTH A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 1998 Christopher Null
You know, I've seen NETWORK before, and it's a much better film.
BULWORTH is, in the kindest of words, an "homage" to that picture, and at least it has an excellent role model. Simply take the story about a TV newsman who goes nuts, stirs up controversy, and fatally angers the establishment and change it to a US Senator who does the same thing, and you've got BULWORTH.
Warren Beatty's title role performance is the only reason BULWORTH has anything going for it at all. Much like Tom Cruise in JERRY MAGUIRE, Beatty takes a difficult character and makes it his own, and while Beatty as a foul-mouthed politician is not exactly playing against type, it's still his very aggressive performance that carries the picture.
Everything else, from the dismal supporting cast (Halle Berry has never looked so lost) to the throw-away one-liners (you've seen all the best over and over again on the trailers) is cut-and-pasted from NETWORK or clearly dredged from some late night rewrite session.
Still, Beatty's in fine form, and his outrageous wackiness takes the film halfway to where it could have been. (And geez, he directed, produced, wrote, and starred in the film... maybe someone was a little too busy?) But overall, the missed opportunities, the overtly silly anti-PC message backed up by nothing, and the all-too-forseeable ending make BULWORTH little more than a fable that we already knew: That anyone involved with politics is totally insane.

Defines all information about the service which should be created.
The newly created CiaoService instance can be used to advertise and manage the created service.
This method should be called when you want to unpublish all service exposed by this Responder. This method SHOULD be called before the node application exists, so any host on the network is informed of the shutdown of this machine. Calling the shutdown method is mandatory for a clean termination (sending goodbye packets).
The shutdown method must only be called ONCE.
The Promise resolves once all goodbye packets were sent (or immediately if any other users have a reference to this Responder instance).
A Responder instance represents a running MDNSServer and a set of advertised services.
It will handle any service related operations, like advertising, sending goodbye packets or sending record updates. It handles answering questions arriving on the multicast address.


The concept of the “Scam Artist” or “Con Man” has been around for an extremely long time. The reason for this is, they work.
Manipulation of Incentives
Typically these attacks are based upon a manipulation of incentives, typically, though not always financial, to reward the attacker. The most recent example of this in the news has been the Bernard Madoff ponzi scheme.
Advance Fee Fraud
A well known example of a traditional scam moving online is called the advance fee fraud. The Internet has been a powerful tool for fraud, enabling frauds to be successful with lower conversion rates due to the widespread and expanded victim base. Profiles of what makes a good mark can be found here.
Psychology of Scams
One of the common arguments that victims use to justify engagement in suspected engagements is that they know and understand the topic they are being scammed on, and therefore will not become a victim. This was proven to not be the case by the well done study in the UK relating to “The Psychology of Scams”. This study, while long, is very well done and is recommended reading for all that have an interest in understanding why and how these sorts of scams work.

SUMMER ! SUMMER !! SUMMER !!!
Yes ! like that season now !
long for beer and at that days.
let's !


13
1 One day Yahweh said to me, "Go and buy a linen waistcloth. Put it on, but do not wash it."
2 So I bought a very nice waistcloth, which is what Yahweh told me to do, and I put it on.
3 Then later Yahweh gave me another message.
4 He said, "Go to the Euphrates River and hide your waistcloth in a crevice in the rocks."
5 So I went to the river and did what Yahweh told me to do.
6 A long time later, Yahweh said to me, "Go back to the river and get the waistcloth that I told you to hide there."
7 So I went to the Euphrates River and dug out the waistcloth from the crevice in which I had hidden it. But it was ruined, and useless.
8 Then Yahweh gave me this message:
9 "What happened to your waistcloth shows that I will destroy the things that the people of Jerusalem and other places in Judah are very proud of.
10 Those wicked people refuse to pay attention to what I say. They stubbornly do just what they desire to do; they worship other gods. Therefore, they will become completely useless, like your waistcloth.
11 Just like a waistcloth clings closely to a man's waist, I wanted the people of Israel and Judah to cling closely to me. I wanted them to be my people, people who would praise me and honor me. But they would not pay attention to me.
12 So, tell this to them: 'Yahweh, the God whom you Israelite people worship, says that every leather wineskin should be filled with wine.' And when you tell that to them, they will reply, 'Of course we know that all wineskins should be filled with wine!'
13 And then you must tell them, 'No, that is not what Yahweh means. What he said means that he will cause this land to be filled with people who are drunk. That will include all of you—the king who sits on the throne that King David previously sat on, the priests and the prophets, and even the common people of Jerusalem.'
14 He is saying, 'I will cause a drunken brawl among you. Even parents will brawl with their children. I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you at all; pitying you will not prevent me from getting rid of you.' "
15 You people of Judah, pay very careful attention.
Do not be proud, because Yahweh has spoken to you.
16 It is as though he is ready to bring darkness on you
and to cause you to stumble and fall as you walk on the hills when it is becoming dark.
So praise Yahweh your God before that happens.

19 The towns in the southern Judean wilderness will be surrounded by your enemies,
and no one will be able to get through their lines to rescue the people in those towns.

When that happens, what will happen to the people of Judah who are like a beautiful flock of sheep,
people that he gave to you to take care of?
21 What will you say when Yahweh appoints people from other countries to rule over you,
people who you mistakenly thought were your friends?
You will suffer very much pain,
like a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.
22 You will ask yourselves, "Why is this happening to us?"
I will reply that it is because of your many sins.

Similarly, you cannot start doing what is good,
because you have always done what is evil.
24 Yahweh says, "I will scatter you like chaff
that is blown away by the wind from the desert.
25 That is what is certainly going to happen to you,
the things that I have determined will happen to you,
because you have forgotten me,
and you are trusting in false gods.
26 It is as though I myself will pull your skirts up over your faces
and cause you to be very ashamed because everyone will be able to see your private parts.
27 I have seen that you act like men who are eager to commit adultery;
you are like male horses that whinny when they desire to mate with a female horse.
I have seen that you worship disgusting idols in the fields and on the hills.
You people of Jerusalem, terrible things will happen to you because you will not be obedient and live a good life!
How long will it be until you are acceptable to me again?"

andreas07 v2.0
the simple solutions can be the sweetest
presenting: andreas07 in a new way!
Hello and thank you for your interest in this template! Before you jump to any conclusions about it, please me explain the story behind it. This template is not like my others, it is a little bit special...
First of all, this design was originally made by request from a friend who arrange html/css classes for beginners. He asked me to create a design that was "so simple that even [his] grandmother would be able to use it", and he wanted to use the design as an example in his classes. The template needed to match a number of special requests as for functionality and coding style for the classes. The content had to be separated from the presentation, and every part of the design had to be made in way that would be easy to understand - and easy learn from. No advanced tricks, and minimal use of IDs and .classes in the stylesheet. A fixed position site menu and some neutral images were also asked for.
I couldn't resist a challenge like that, and the first version was released in the end of 2005. The template became quite popular and it ended up being used in many other web design educations - including in university classes and high schools in several countries. But as time passed, the fixed menu started feeling more annoying than useful so I wanted to remove it. I also wanted to add an optional third column to the right of the main content since I had got lots of support requests about that. Now I have made those changes and a number of other detail updates, and here is the new version: andreas07 v2.0, released in July 2008!
the main priorities
Unlike the first version of the andreas07 template, v2.0 a little bit more generic since it is no longer made for one special education. But the template is still perfectly suitable for web design studies if wanted. Here are the priorities I've had in mind for the updated version:
- The content is fully separated from the presentation. No inline styling.
- Standards-compliant: Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS2.
- Good accessibility and well-structured code. Works perfectly in text-based browsers and on small screen devices such as mobile phones and handheld computers.
- Simple and effective code that is easy to work with. The CSS file contains only a few IDs, one CSS class and a few basic HTML tags
and a few notes:
This is a free website template. It can be used in any way wanted by anyone, and there are no limitations or obligations for using this template. Commercial use is perfectly OK, credits are appreciated but not a requirement.
The example image shows a violet flower, and it was made by myself using one of my own photos. You have my full permission to use the image in any way you want to. However, I recommend that you replace it with something of your own. Custom header image design services are available, as are custom XHTML/CSS design services. Contact me for more information.
Good luck with your new website!

Transcription factor binding to the core promoter of the human monoamine oxidase B gene in the cerebral cortex and in blood cells.
Abstract
Many studies show that monoamine oxidase B in blood cells is a biological marker for personality characteristics such as sensation seeking. The mechanism underlying this association is so far not explored. In the present study we have performed electrophoretic mobility-shift assays to investigate the pattern of protein binding to a 150 bp fragment of the proximal 5'-flanking region of the human monoamine oxidase B gene. We compared the pattern using nuclear extracts from human brain and lymphocytes. Interestingly, a correlation was observed between monoamine oxidase B enzyme activity in blood cells (platelets) and the binding pattern of two uncharacterized transcription factors. These data are well in line with the long-standing notion that interindividual differences in platelet monoamine oxidase may represent differences in expression of the enzyme rather than genotypic variation.


Where it begins
We bought our ticket around 6 weeks in advance for the trip. First, we look on
google for tickets the price looked good but continued our search just to be sure.
For us Canadian, it’s a 20h flight minimum… well, you try to do an informed
purchase. I ended up on youtube on travelDan’s vlog about different airline. He
swear that Qatar airway was one of the best and it was also the airline with the
most leg room (When you travel with a 6 foot 7 bear, that’s important). So we
decided to
book directly for the airline and bonus point it was 100$ cheaper than the price we
found on google! (If you want to know the
detail of the flight, seat, meals and other please click here)
So we left Montréal around noon and started our 30h trip (yeah 30h cause it’s
cheaper that way…) with a 1h45 flight to philadelphie on American airline. Once we
arrived in philadelphie, we had to get out of the terminal and back in the check our
ticket at the Qatar airway counter (we learned later that you can do that a the gate
1-2h before the flight but in our case we wanted to secure the emergency exit seat
(click here to know more about Qatar emergency
exit seat policy)
And up we went on our 11h flight to Qatar (yes the country, all of the company
flight layover in Qatar) and thanks to some night advil it went like a charm. (I
highly recommend sleeping pill on long flight it guaranty a good sleep and therefore
a short flight)
For our layover, we were advise by a flight attendant not to get out of the
airport...we didn’t have the time to but if you do have the time it’s not a
recommended option.
We finally arrived in Bangkok a 5h am local time, at the Bangkok airport you can use
the regular lane to pass true immigration (ask the staff they are very helpful) For
immigration, since we are Canadian, we had an automatic visa of 30 days
(and we needed to fill out a immigration card,
for
more information about visa please click here). The immigration officer take
your finger prints and that’s about it. They didn't really ask us questions, so no
worries!
Once we passed emigration it’s still a little too early to go to the AirBnb that we
booked
(Here’s a link to a few useful site
to book accommodation in Asia). So we started by getting cash at an ATM with
our credit Card (we always use the credit card for cash it’s safer that way…) but
you need cash, you cannot pay with credit card in Thailand (almost no where..) After
money, it was time for internet connection! There’s a lot of internet providers (
here’s a link for more information.) We
got 15 G for around 20$ for 20 days not bad especially if you compare to Canadian
price… It’s a bit more expensive to get the plan and sim card at the airport but by
2-3 $.  (For those going
the the Bangkok international airport, go downstairs to eat, there’s a food court
there. Way, way, cheaper than the upstairs restaurant. And yes you are going to feel
like you are going in the wrong direction but it’s fine. Also they use ticket, so at
the entrance of the food court you need to buy the ticket, then buy your meal.) In
our case, we choosed soups and fruit shakes. The soup was good but I still have
doubt about what was in it… and the fruit shake well we had one almost everyday
starting from there.
We had kill enough time and it was time to go to our guest house, wich was in a
less touristy area of Bangkok. We decided to take the train (Bangkok have the BTS
and the MTS
(Click here for more
information about public transportation), and they have machine in English
to purchase tickets) So 2 different train later, we arrived at the station that was
the closest to our place. There’s were we took a wonderful decision, lets walk to
there, with our backpacks 30h of flight, 3 h at the airport and 1h of train in the
heat for the first time… Lets just say that it wasn’t our brightest moment but it
was doable. We wondered around a bit too because the address on google and the
actual address of the place were not the same. We ended up using the picture of the
street around the place to get there. Has soon has we arrived we wash and crash !


GXL2GV,GV2GXL(1) GXL2GV,GV2GXL(1) NAME gxl2gv,gv2gxl - GXL-GV converters SYNOPSIS gxl2gv [ -gd? ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ] gv2gxl [ -gd? ] [ -ooutfile ] [ files ] DESCRIPTION gxl2gv converts between graphs represented in GXL and in the GV language. Unless a conversion type is specified using a flag, gxl2gv will deduce the type of conversion from the suffix of the input file, a ".gv" (or a ".dot") suffix causing a conversion from GV to GXL, and a ".gxl" suffix causing a conversion from GXL to GV. If no suffix is available, e.g. when the input is from a pipe, and no flags are used then gxl2gv assumes the type of the input file from its executable name so that gxl2gv con‐ verts from GXL to GV, and gv2gxl converts from GV to GXL. GXL supports a much richer graph model than GV. gxl2gv will attempt to map GXL constructs into the analogous GV construct when this is possible. If not, the GXL information is stored as an attribute. The intention is that applying gxl2gv|gv2gxl is semantically equivalent to the identity operator. OPTIONS The following options are supported: -g The command name and input file extensions are ignored, the input is taken as a GV file and a GXL file is generated. -d The command name and input file extensions are ignored, the input is taken as a GXL file and a GV file is generated. -? Prints usage information and exits. -o outfile If specified, the output will be written into the file outfile. Otherwise, output is written to standard out. OPERANDS The following operand is supported: files Names of files containing 1 or more graphs in GXL or GV. If no files operand is specified, the standard input will be used. RETURN CODES Both gxl2gv and gv2gxl return 0 if there were no problems during conver‐ sion; and non-zero if any error occurred. BUGS gxl2gv will only convert in one direction even if given multiple files with varying suffixes. The conversion can only handle one graph per GXL file. There are some GXL constructs which gxl2gv cannot handle. AUTHORS Krishnam Pericherla<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Emden R.

This project has 2 main focuses:
The Strategy games was the original motivation for the project, but the Geometry and Graphics library have far wider applicability. The Geometry and Graphics are far more developed, while the tiling and strategy games are still in a far more expermiental stage. This is in accordance with the oriinal vision, part of which was to explore the possiblites of an Algebra of Tiling. Out of the needs of these 2 primary focuses, 2 secondary focuses have developed. If you are new to programming then just ignore these for the time being.

It currently works on JavaFx and web page. Using canvas on both platforms. See Scala Docs and See Scala Docs for JavaScript target.
It currently works on JavaFx and web page. Using canvas on both platforms.
This project is intended to be accessible and welcoming to programmers of all levels. Indeed it is intended as a vehicle for complete beginners to learn programming in a fun environment. To be able to begin by what for most games would be described as modding and then move down into programming as deep as they wish to go, at the pace they wish to. I want to break down the wall between modding and coding. So if you're new to programming and want to get involved, drop into the gitter channel and say hi. If you are not experienced with Scala, you have found this site and want to experiment, you will need to install Java JDK8 and sbt. more complete documentation for getting started on Linux / Windows / Mac will come later. The basic build has been tested on Linux and Windows 7. Note unfortunately for the moment there do still seem to be some problems with openjdk and JavaFx, so on Linux you may need to use the Oracle Jdk8.
However at the other end, I would welcome input from developers with greater experience and knowledge than my own. One of the goals of the project is to explore, where it is best to compose with trait / class inheritance and where to use functions. When to use mutation and when to use immutability.  Balancing the competing priorities of elegance, succinctness, readability, run-time performance, compile time performance and accessibility for inexperienced programmers. I feel Scala is, and in particular Scala 3 will be the ideal language to explore these questions.
Scala currently set to 2.13.1. Scala.Js set to 0.6.29. Sbt currently set to 1.3.3 (uses the build.sbt file). Update your Mill to 0.5.2 (uses the build.sc file).

The tilde ~
tells sbt to rerun the command every time you modify and save a source file. The first command will build and launch a ScalaFx window. It will rebuild and relaunch so you can immediately see the effects of your changes. Copy the DevSettings.rson file from the Misc folder to the Dev/mine folder. Creating the directory and its parents if not already existing. Change the appStr setting in DevSettings.rson to change the application. All the examples on the richstrat.com website are available plus others. The second command will also rebuild on source changes in similar manner. However unlike with the reStart command, when you make a source file edit and save it, you will have to manually refresh the browser window after the fastOptJS command has finished the rebuild.
So I'm experimenting with Mill from the project root folder run:
mill run
To launch a ScalaFx window.
mill -w run
As above but mill will rebuild and relaunch the ScalaFx window when ever you save changes to source code. The most useful command for development.
mill test
To run tests.
mill -w test
To recompile and rerun the tests on source code changes.

The Code is currently organised into 5 modules. Each module can be build artifacts for Jvm and JavaFx and for the JavaScript platform and the Web. Modules can be built for Scala-Native, but code, notably hanging commas may break the Scala-Native build as ScalaNative is still on Scala 2.11.
- Util Module Organised into the following folders and packages:
- ostrat The root package. All other packages depend on this.
- 32 bit Int based Colours.
- A persistence framework. Succinct readable object notation. Save files in
Dev/mine
folder. - A functional Either based Errors framework.
- Array based compound value collections of same length elements,to overcome the performance deficencies of the Java and JavaScript platforms, with a view to maximising common code for future Scala Native and Scala Web assembly platforms.
- 3 simple macros, that print the source code location to help with debugging and development, in the srcMacros folder. They are a separate unit of compilation for sbt /mill. It is a sub module of the this module inr Mill, but for Sbt it is a sub-project on the same level as Util.
- Other general utilities.
- ostrat.parse The code for parsing RSON, Rich Succinct Object Notation.
- ostrat.pWeb Code for the generation and manipulation of * HTML * Other XML * CSS * Simple JavaScript
- ostrat The root package. All other packages depend on this.
- Graphic Depends on UtilMacros and Util, organised into the following packages:
- ostrat.geom A pure or near pure functional package.
- Basic geometry.
- A number of implementation Value classes of the Int and Double product classes defined in ostrat.
- 2d graphical objects for generalised use. They are of particular use for the generic canvas based classes defined in pCanv but can be used in any display framework and for printing.
- ostrat.pCanv depends on geom. This could be made into a separate module, but I don't see any great advantage.
- Abstract canvas and classes for placing objects on that abstract canvas.
- classes for the manipulation and display of maps.
- Mouse and other abstract controls.
- An implementation of Canvas for Jvm using JavaFx.
- An implementation of Canvas for Html Canvas using JavaScript.
- There is no implementation for Native yet. I'm waiting for Scala-native to get up on 2.12 before experimenting. Running a game server in native should pose no problems. However there is no easily accessible canvas for native on Windows or Linux. The abstract canvas api could be implemented on DirectX or OpenGL, but this would require significantly more work than for the ScalaFx canvas or the Html Canvas.
- ostrat.pGrid Depends on geom and pCanv.
- Abstract regular tile geometry.
- Square and hex tile grid geometry.
- OfTile classes for the display of tiles.
- ostrat.p3d Currently just a stub. I have included it because 3d is the preferred GUI. I have started with 2d, just because 3d development is highly time consuming and I want to focus on game play and what might might be described as the algebra of tiling. There is no "physics engine", although there is time and distance and other basic mechanics maths will probably be included later. I prefer 3d graphics, but as we are dealing with animations not a "physics engine", 2d and 3d are completely interchangeable. There will also be a command line interface. This will be the canonical interface, although it obviously won't be the normal user interface.
- ostrat.geom A pure or near pure functional package.
- World Depends on UtilMacros, Util and Graphic. The code for specific applications, organised into the following packages:
- ostrat.pEarth depends on geom, pCanv and pGrid
- Earth and sphere geometry.
- Grids of Earth terrain.
- ostrat.pEarth.pPts large irregular Earth terrain areas. This is mainly a development aid.
- ostrat.pEarth depends on geom, pCanv and pGrid
- Strat
- ostrat.pStrat depends on geom, pCanv and pGrid and pEarth.
- Flags
- DemoCanvas for graphics elements.
- Odds and ends.
- ostrat.pGames A number of rudimentary games and applications depending on some or all of the above packages. The intention is to factor out common functionality and classes.
- ostrat.pGames.pWW2 A grand strategy world War 2 game, using the hex tiled world terrain map.
- ostrat.pGames.p1783 A grand strategy game, also using the world map starting in 1783.
- ostrat.pGames.p305 A grand strategy game set in 305BC, using part of the world map.
- ostrat.pGames.pZug A 20th century squad based strategy game using hex tiles.
- ostrat.pGames.pCiv A human history 4x development game using hex tiles.
- ostrat.pGames.pDung A Square tile based dungeon game.
- ostrat.pGames.pCloseOrder. Pre modern close order formation based battles, not using tiles.
- ostrat.pGames.pSpace A solar system app.
- ostrat.pGames.pChess. A search for an elegant implementation of Draughts and Chess.
- ostrat.pStrat depends on geom, pCanv and pGrid and pEarth.
- Dev Depends on all the other modules. This is purely an integration module for development purposes and is not intended to contain library code.
- mine folder contains developer settings
- Developer html pages, linked to sbt target and Mill out folder artifacts.
- Documentation web pages.
- Collates the lessons in the examples folders from Util, Graphic, World and Strat. This is a number of series of lessons for beginners to Scala, complete beginners to programming and beginners in geometry, using the graphical API. These lessons are published separately as the LearnScala project.
The code is organised so if it gains significant traction with other developers, then it can be broken up into separate repositories.
Road Map So currently we now have a 3 month maximum time frame for Github issues, for non urgent issues left as eaily accessible for beginners. Everything will go in the road map, unitl we have time and focus to start implementing.
- 2.5D, 3D Graphics. The knowledge form inplementing 2.5 and 3d will allow clarification of the 2d Transformation of arcs.
- Audio: (scalajs hooks into Web API AudioContext so thats half the bases covered?). w0d won't look into jfx now until things a bit more certain that way.
- Array Double based generalised deep-compound value-types includind C-style type unions and single Array based collections of those types. Currently we just have Pruducts of a single type.
- Deep-compound value-types with repeat last members. These can not have single Array Collections.

Each of the benchmarks in the FireHose suite has two parts: a front-end generator that writes a stream of events (datums) to one or more UDP sockets in a text-based format, and a back-end analytic that reads the stream and processes the datums.
The generators create a stream of datums with the following attributes:
The computations performed by the analytics have the following attributes:
The FireHose tarball provides code for each generator. They are meant to be used as-is, without modification. The tarball also provides sample implementations of the analytics, but users are free to re-implement them in a manner optimized for their streaming framework or their machine, or with better algorithms, so long as they follow the rules of the benchmark and measure the relevant scoring metrics.
UDP sockets are used as the link between the generator and analytic, so that the generator is not throttled by the analytic, just as in stream processing scenarios where data must be processed as it appears in real-time. The UDP protocol means the analytic will drop datums if it cannot keep up with the generated stream, which is one of the effects we wish to measure.


Nowadays, employees work fewer hours, and like to work at flexible times. It would be a waste to have people still claim dedicated office space, so solutions need to be found. Flextime leads to flexplace, inside a building as well as outside. In practice this can lead to many problems:
Our crownstone solution comes with a very down-to-earth approach to this problem. The main functional question underlying above problems is "who is where?" Indoor localization of people combined with a communication solution will solve many of these use case. The favorite means of communication for many people is their smartphone. By incorporating this technology in an office a very reliable means of indoor localization has been established.
Perhaps you have heard about iBeacon technology. The crownstone is not only an iBeacon, but much more. The crownstone is a very small chip that is put behind every power outlet in a building. The little chips are able to find out the position of any person wearing not only a smartphone, but also a fitness band, or an iBeacon itself. You can imagine them as a lot of little smartphones behind every wall and ceiling.
In offices emergency response officers have to provide first aid on time. Flexplaces make it harder to guarantee that there are enough people nearby who can help instantly. If you want (or the law requires) an officer on every other floor, the crownstones can suggest officers to work on a certain floor.
The technology that is used to communicate with the crownstones is smartphone technology. This means that there will not be an artificial barrier when someone is working at home.
The crownstones are an advanced technological solution for flextime and flexplaces. They make it possible, for the first time, to introduce indoor localization as a solution for the productivity problems that arise with this new type of working.
If someone is not in the office and a meeting has been planned. If someone is actually in the office, there is no need to call. And what is more annoying than having to confirm that you're on your way?
Of course, we can call our colleague within the same building to set up a meeting. But not everything is just as important. If we can just walk by at lunch time to have a meal together, that would be fine as well. That is, if we know where she sits!
"Help! Steve has a heart attack!" Who can provide first aid!? Someone on the fifth floor? Who is nearby? By knowing who is where, lives can be saved! And, for the officer who is able to provide first aid, the system can beforehand recommend her a particular floor.
The crownstone solution is not limited to detection of smartphones! A laptop attached to a power outlet is detected as well. Our fine-grained monitoring can even detect if the laptop is under a computational load. Unplugging a laptop (or other expensive devices) can be detected. It can be seen if people are still working on laptops at a certain floor, an important scenario for the fire-brigade.
A lot of building automation systems are designed with dry specifications that are very inflexible to the actual users of the building. By giving your employees control, you will have much fewer complaints and a better working environment at the same time. The open nature of the crownstone allows for integration with many of such building infrastructures.
The crownstones are not only a solution that help to implement flextime in a employee-friendly manner. It also allows an office to save on the energy bill. When the last person leaves the office, the entire office can be put on standby!
The above is only a small subset of the thought that went into this product. Flexworking hasn't been yet supported through many technologies as such. Especially indoor localization of people, such an important aspect of flexplaces, has not been addressed with the attention it deserves. There are solutions which use motion detectors (which know if someone sits at a chair, but not who is sitting there), or QR stickers that people have to scan themselves. The crownstone proves that this is not necessary!
If you are interested in our solution, please contact for more information.


Emilia Clarke believes new film Last Christmas is anti-Brexit
Emilia Clarke believes her upcoming festive film is anti-Brexit.
The Game Of Thrones actress stars in seasonal romantic comedy Last Christmas.
Clarke believes the film, penned in part by Dame Emma Thompson, is in opposition to Brexit.
The actress told BBC Radio 4’s Front Row that the script reflects the “politically active” worldview of Thompson.
Asked on the show if the film was “anti-Brexit”, the star said: “Yes, definitely.
“You get to see on a cinema screen someone’s point of view as someone who was not born in this country, but who is here and who is living a life and just trying to get through.”
She added: “It really is a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance, and acceptance on a broad scale – this to the backdrop of Brexit, and that’s a lot to do with acceptance.”
The film sees Clarke play a floundering shop worker whose family has fled the former Yugoslavia.
Dame Emma co-stars as her mother in the Christmas romantic comedy, and Clarke believes the film reflects her views.
She said: “Emma Thompson and Greg Wise (her husband) are politically active, and they would never write a script that wasn’t in line with the way they thought, so it’s there.”
Front Row airs weeknights at 7.15pm on Radio 4 on BBC Sounds.

IV.4 Building Development Environmental
Environmental – Building Development (IV.4.)
Building
construction systems must meet “best practices”for approvals and certifications.
- Most important is documentation and organization of the process (materials receipts, recycling reports, etc.).
- Working with a reputable construction company familiar with sustainability will help to ensure that best
practices are met and that any possible added costs of sustainability initiatives are minimized.
- In previous years, the extra cost of environmental certifications was estimated at 3-5%; however, due to the
broad acceptance of the practices, there is usually no extra costs associated, only extra paperwork.
Local ordinances are rapidly changing to create new sustainability benchmarks.
- Some municipalities have begun requiring third-party certifications for new development.
- Be aware of the current codes and of pending changes.
For example, Washington DC imposed the Green Code, which has higher standard than LEED, does not allow for
majority glass buildings, and added greater expectations for storm water management.
Vest your
approvals as soon as possible to avoid designs that may be affected by changes in environmental regulations.
- With the ordinances changing so frequently, it is important to vest your approvals under current ordinances as
quickly as possible to keep construction on schedule, on budget, and on design.

THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL, BUT CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1995 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): **
THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL, BUT CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN is one of those terminally cute, quirky British comedies. It is a movie populated with sweet, non-offensive characters. It is told as if it were a true story and yet the tone of the film is that of an Aesop fable. It is the sort of show that will undoubtedly work its charm on many of you.
Although the movie is billed as the latest Hugh Grant flick, it is an ensemble cast. Grant plays Reginald Anson who, with his coworker George Garrad (Ian McNeice), are English cartographers. They have been assigned by their government in 1917 to determine the exact height of the "first mountain in Wales". This first mountain is the one just over the Welsh border in Ffynnon Garw.
The townsfolk of Ffynnon Garw are proud of their mountain, but to be a government certified mountain, it must be at least 1,000 feet tall. The locals led by the local publican, Morgan the Goat (Colm Meaney), are aghast when Garrad and Anson declare their mountain to be just shy of 1,000 feet and hence must forever after must be known as merely a hill. Morgan enlists everyone, even his nemesis, the local preacher, Reverend Jones (Kenneth Griffith), and his favorite of his many girlfriends, Betty (Tara Fitzgerald), to implement his scheme to fix the problem. The movie is about the fix.
The story is predictable which is probably okay since it is a fable and not a mystery. The characters are all played with great and consistent gusto by all of the cast. My favorite was Tara Fitzgerald (from A MAN OF NO IMPORTANCE, SIRENS, HEAR MY SONG, "Cadfael" (TV), and "Fall from Grace" (TV)) who continues to impress me in how she can make a minor character so compelling. All she needs do is give her infectious smile at the right time and the screen lights up. Hugh Grant (so wonderful in FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL and SIRENS among others) gave a nice performance, but not his best.
The director (Christopher Monger) was in complete control and crafted a movie clearly reflecting what he had to set out to do. It is his goal and the script he wrote that was my problem with the picture. For me the characters, while cute, were not credible enough to be believable nor humorous enough to be funny. To me it was an attempt at droll humor that failed. I almost felt guilty about not caring more for a sweet little movie with carefully drawn characters, effective cinematography (Vernon Layton), and dramatic music (Stephen Endelman). I found the slow pacing by the editor (David Martin) and the low key tone of the dialog boring and even sleep inducing at points.
THE ENGLISHMAN WHO WENT UP A HILL, BUT CAME DOWN A MOUNTAIN runs fairly short at 1:38, but it felt much longer. It is a G show that tried and succeeded in getting its more marketable PG rating by throwing in a few mild cuss words. No one would be harmed by seeing this show, but I can not see how it would appeal to kids under 8. I award the movie ** for good acting, but give it a mild thumbs down as it just did not work for me. I have trouble with shows with elevated saccharine levels. You may fall in love with this movie if you have a higher tolerance.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.
