The main aim of this project is to study both classification and regression problems by developing our own feed-forward neural network (FFNN) code. We can reuse the regression algorithms studied in project 1. We will also include logistic regression for classification problems and write our own FFNN code for studying both regression and classification problems. The codes developed in project 1, including bootstrap and/or cross-validation as well as the computation of the mean-squared error and/or the \( R2 \) or the accuracy score (classification problems) functions can also be utilized in the present analysis.
The data sets that we propose here are (the default sets)
You can find more information about this at the Scikit-Learn site or at the University of California at Irvine.
However, if you would like to study other data sets, feel free to propose other sets. What we list here are mere suggestions from our side. If you opt for another data set, consider using a set which has been studied in the scientific literature. This makes it easier for you to compare and analyze your results. Comparing with existing results from the scientific literature is also an essential element of the scientific discussion. The University of California at Irvine with its Machine Learning repository at https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/index.php is an excellent site to look up for examples and inspiration. Kaggle.com is an equally interesting site. Feel free to explore these sites.
We will start with a regression problem and we will reuse our codes from project 1 starting with writing our own Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) code.
In order to get started, we will now replace in our standard ordinary least squares (OLS) and Ridge regression codes (from project 1) the matrix inversion algorithm with our own gradient descent (GD) and SGD codes. You can use the Franke function or the terrain data from project 1. However, we recommend using a simpler function like \( f(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2 \) or higher-order one-dimensional polynomials. You can obviously test your final codes against for example the Franke function.
You should include in your analysis of the GD and SGD codes the following elements
The lecture notes from week 39 contain more details and code examples. Feel free to use these examples.
In summary, you should perform an analysis of the results for OLS and Ridge regression as function of the chosen learning rates, the number of mini-batches and epochs as well as algorithm for scaling the learning rate. You can also compare your own results with those that can be obtained using for example Scikit-Learn's various SGD options. Discuss your results. For Ridge regression you need now to study the results as functions of the hyper-parameter \( \lambda \) and the learning rate \( \eta \). Discuss your results.
You will need your SGD code for the setup of the Neural Network and Logistic Regression codes. You will find the Python Seaborn package useful when plotting the results as function of the learning rate \( \eta \) and the hyper-parameter \( \lambda \) when you use Ridge regression.
We recommend reading chapter 8 on optimization from the textbook of Goodfellow, Bengio and Courville. This chapter contains many useful insights and discussions on the optimization part of machine learning.
Your aim now, and this is the central part of this project, is to write your own Feed Forward Neural Network code implementing the back propagation algorithm discussed in the lecture slides from week 40 and week 41.
We will focus on a regression problem first and study either the simple second-order polynomial from part a) or the Franke function or terrain data (or both or other data sets) from project 1.
Discuss again your choice of cost function.
Write an FFNN code for regression with a flexible number of hidden layers and nodes using the Sigmoid function as activation function for the hidden layers. Initialize the weights using a normal distribution. How would you initialize the biases? And which activation function would you select for the final output layer?
Train your network and compare the results with those from your OLS and Ridge Regression codes from project 1 if you use the Franke function or the terrain data. You should test your results against a similar code using Scikit-Learn (see the examples in the above lecture notes from week 41) or tensorflow/keras.
Comment your results and give a critical discussion of the results obtained with the Linear Regression code and your own Neural Network code. Make an analysis of the regularization parameters and the learning rates employed to find the optimal MSE and \( R2 \) scores.
A useful reference on the back progagation algorithm is Nielsen's book. It is an excellent read.
You should now also test different activation functions for the hidden layers. Try out the Sigmoid, the RELU and the Leaky RELU functions and discuss your results. You may also study the way you initialize your weights and biases.
With a well-written code it should now be easy to change the activation function for the output layer.
Here we will change the cost function for our neural network code developed in parts b) and c) in order to perform a classification analysis.
We will here study the Wisconsin Breast Cancer data set. This is a typical binary classification problem with just one single output, either True or Fale, \( 0 \) or \( 1 \) etc. You find more information about this at the Scikit-Learn site or at the University of California at Irvine.
To measure the performance of our classification problem we use the so-called accuracy score. The accuracy is as you would expect just the number of correctly guessed targets \( t_i \) divided by the total number of targets, that is
$$ \text{Accuracy} = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n I(t_i = y_i)}{n} , $$where \( I \) is the indicator function, \( 1 \) if \( t_i = y_i \) and \( 0 \) otherwise if we have a binary classification problem. Here \( t_i \) represents the target and \( y_i \) the outputs of your FFNN code and \( n \) is simply the number of targets \( t_i \).
Discuss your results and give a critical analysis of the various parameters, including hyper-parameters like the learning rates and the regularization parameter \( \lambda \) (as you did in Ridge Regression), various activation functions, number of hidden layers and nodes and activation functions.
As stated in the introduction, it can also be useful to study other datasets.
Again, we strongly recommend that you compare your own neural Network code for classification and pertinent results against a similar code using Scikit-Learn or tensorflow/keras or pytorch.
Finally, we want to compare the FFNN code we have developed with Logistic regression, that is we wish to compare our neural network classification results with the results we can obtain with another method.
Define your cost function and the design matrix before you start writing your code. Write thereafter a Logistic regression code using your SGD algorithm. You can also use standard gradient descent in this case, with a learning rate as hyper-parameter. Study the results as functions of the chosen learning rates. Add also an \( l_2 \) regularization parameter \( \lambda \). Compare your results with those from your FFNN code as well as those obtained using Scikit-Learn's logistic regression functionality.
The weblink here https://medium.com/ai-in-plain-english/comparison-between-logistic-regression-and-neural-networks-in-classifying-digits-dc5e85cd93c3compares logistic regression and FFNN using the so-called MNIST data set. You may find several useful hints and ideas from this article.
After all these glorious calculations, you should now summarize the various algorithms and come with a critical evaluation of their pros and cons. Which algorithm works best for the regression case and which is best for the classification case. These codes can also be part of your final project 3, but now applied to other data sets.
Here follows a brief recipe and recommendation on how to write a report for each project.
The preferred format for the report is a PDF file. You can also use DOC or postscript formats or as an ipython notebook file. As programming language we prefer that you choose between C/C++, Fortran2008 or Python. The following prescription should be followed when preparing the report:
Finally, we encourage you to collaborate. Optimal working groups consist of 2-3 students. You can then hand in a common report.


It was Autumn 2011. I was a second-year Bachelor’s student in Software Engineering and was attending basic computer science modules, including Automata Theory. I remember well how excited I was when I came back home from the first session of that module. A cold but sweet evening in Kurdistan.
The idea of automata as very basic yet amazing machines to process information was fascinating to me. So, I took a piece of paper that same evening and wrote a simple verb in my mother tongue, Sorani Kurdish, and conjugated it:
| xwardin (to eat) | |
|---|---|
| xwardim '(I) ate' | xwardman '(we) ate' |
| xwardit '(you) ate' | xwardtan '(you) ate' |
| xwardî '(he/she) ate' | xwardyan '(they) ate' |
While the base “xward” remains the same, using different endings produces different outputs. That was already an automaton where the endings are the transitions and each verb-form is a state. A spark in my mind! 🎇
Already in love with linguistics and languages, this practical example helped me delve more into the topic and finally pursue my studies in natural language processing (NLP).
Now, after almost a decade, I am thrilled to release the Kurdish Language Processing Toolkit (KLPT). This toolkit provides basic language processing tools for the Kurdish language. My knowledge and passion regarding NLP, in general, and Kurdish language processing, in particular, motivated me to create this package and release it under an open-source license.
I know there is still a long way ahead for Kurdish to be a high-resource language and for myself to discover more in the amazing world of languages and computer science. However, I believe that this step paves the way for further advances in the Kurdish language processing.

This object has two goals:
For tests we provide mock implementation
of the $browser
service, which can be used for convenient testing of the application without the interaction with
the real browser apis.
Adds a function to the list of functions that poller periodically executes, and starts polling if not started yet.
fn – {function()} –
Poll function to add
{function()}
– the added function
Executes a fn asynchroniously via setTimeout(fn, delay)
.
Unlike when calling setTimeout
directly, in test this function is mocked and instead of using
setTimeout
in tests, the fns are queued in an array, which can be programmatically flushed
via $browser.defer.flush()
.
fn – {function()} –
A function, who's execution should be defered.
delay(optional=0) – {number=} –
of milliseconds to defer the function execution.
{*}
– DeferId that can be used to cancel the task via $browser.defer.cancel()
.
Register callback function that will be called, when url changes.
It's only called when the url is changed by outside of angular: - user types different url into address bar - user clicks on history (forward/back) button - user clicks on a link
It's not called when url is changed by $browser.url() method
The listener gets called with new url as parameter.
NOTE: this api is intended for use only by the $location service. Please use the
$location service
to monitor url changes in angular apps.
listener – {function(string)} –
Listener function to be called when url changes.
GETTER: Without any argument, this method just returns current value of location.href.
SETTER: With at least one argument, this method sets url to new value. If html5 history api supported, pushState/replaceState is used, otherwise location.href/location.replace is used. Returns its own instance to allow chaining
NOTE: this api is intended for use only by the $location service. Please use the
$location service
to change url.
url – {string} –
New url (when used as setter)
replace(optional) – {boolean=} –
Should new url replace current history record ?


Setting up a namespace this way instead of with a function as we are using npm and Browserify. We effectively go with a mixin strategy, treating the namespace as an object (which it always was). We override the effects of rquires with util.extend Without util.extend we dont quite get the namespace effect when we browserify
extend - adds objects to our master coffeegl object, namespace style
If we are in a browser add to the window object
Add extra classes to our coffeegl namespace
_setupFrame - the accepted method for setting up onEachFrame in various browsers TODO - We should record the apps listening on this so we can pause individual ones?
Check to make sure we arent duplicating contexts and run funcs (due to restarting)

We have talked about classes last week but only to refresh our memory here is one of the definitions for class: "In object-oriented programming, a class is a construct that is used to create instances of itself - referred to as class instances, class objects, instance objects or simply objects. A class defines constituent members which enable its instances to have state and behavior." Modules are similar to classes, which means they also enable objects to have behavior through the definition of methods, the difference is that unlike classes, modules don't have instances. An object and/or a class that includes a module, will have access to its methods and constants. Modules can provide functionality across multiple classes and/or objects so, they are perfect to be used when objects from different classes have to implement the same behavior. A good example is the Math module. It has constants, like Pi, and methods that define mathematical calculations, like sqrt(number), which returns the square foot of the specified number. The Math module can be used by class/object that includes it. Let's see how a method is defined and how to include it. module FirstModule def testing_module p "Testing our first module" end end This is how a method definition looks like. It is very similar to the class, we only replaced the word "class" by "module" So now, we are going to include this method in a class: class ModuleTester include FirstModule end And finally, we'll create an instance of the class ModuleTester and try to call the method testing_module module_test = ModuleTester.new module_test.testing_module Here is the output: 2.0.0-p451 :543 > "Testing our first module" As you can see, the module_test object can access the method testing_module. This is, of course, a very simple demonstration of the use of modules, but it serves to show that modules can expand considerably the set of messages to which an object can respond. As Ruby provides single inheritance, where a subclass is allowed only one parent superclass, modules play an important role when it comes to allowing the objects to have a broader scope.


Gutsy Conrad Cummings loses out in WBO European middleweight title challenge
by Thomas HawkinsBoxing
Coalisland box/fighter Conrad Cummings lost out in his quest to bring the WBO European middleweight title back to the Tyrone town at the weekend.
Cummings never took a backward step against Essex southpaw Danny Dignum at the York Hall in London.
The 28-year-old forced the fight against his rangy opponent, enjoying some success in the fourth, but couldn't find the target with sufficient force often enough as Dignum used the ring well and boxed on the counter.
This was 'Dynamite' Cummings's fourth time fighting for the WBO European belt; he had won it twice.
But Dignum, 27-year-old, standing 6ft 1ins, managed to avoid the Tyrone lad's big guns before going on the offensive in round five, stepping in with a series of body shots, straight rights and left hooks.
A jaw-crunching left hook landed flush on Cummings inside the first minute and although he bravely stayed on his feet, he was visibly hurt and referee Howard John Foster jumped in swiftly to call a halt.
Afterwards Dignum said: "Conrad was a true gentleman leading up to this fight, and he is a good fighter. I hope he is okay,'' reported Belfast Live.
"I was in there with a hard opponent, so I upped my training by about 50 per cent for this fight. I did my diet and training properly, and everything else.
"The hard work paid off."

When this position occurred Black played the seemingly obvious 5/2, 3/2 making a very strong five-point home board. The problem is that he failed to look further ahead than just his own next move.
The key in any backgammon position is to have a plan for the rest of the game. The dice are capricious and can destroy any plan at a moment’s notice but you should always know what you are trying to achieve, even if you are subsequently forced into a change of plan by the vagaries of the dice.
In this position Black should recognize that he cannot hold on to both his opponent’s bar-point and his ace-point. The timing is such that he will not be able to play a well-timed ace-point and so he should be looking to play a bar-point holding game, especially as that point is currently constraining the five checkers on White’s mid-point.
Once you have a plan then that you can look for candidate plays that enable you to put that plan into action. Here there is an obvious candidate play, namely 24/21, 3/2. The plan will then be to escape that checker into the outfield next turn while maintaining the other rear checker on White’s ace-point.
This play gives Black flexibility. Black can either escape that checker next time or, if it is hit, he will hope to remake an anchor in White’s home board or possibly escape it next time. The key is to be able to keep a strong home board and maintain pressure on White’s mid-point.
After Black played 5/2, 3/2 White rolled 21 and play 8/5. Black then rolled 54 and was immediately in trouble. A lack of planning and foresight meant that Black paid dearly for his error. So remember, always know what your plan is before you start selecting candidate plays. Just making moves is not the route to winning backgammon.

JAX-RS Integration
Provides integration with using Ebean with JAX-RS.
Specifically it integrates Ebean's JSON (not XML yet) marshalling and unmarshalling support and provides some integration to make it easier to use Entity Beans with JAX-RS.
The com.avaje.ebean.jaxrs package needs to be registered with JAX-RS so that it finds Ebean's JaxrsJsonProvider. This provides the JSON Marshalling and Unmarshalling of entity beans.
If you use custom Media types then you might need to subclass the JaxrsJsonProvider and register it with those media types.
Typically developers will extend the AbstractEntityResource object which has built in support for many typical functions such as find by id, find all, insert, update, delete and delete many by ids.
example
...
// Extend AbstractEntityResource to get:
// Insert, Update, Delete, Delete Many, Find by Id and Find all
//
// Use uriOptions to allow client to customise exactly
// the properties to fetch and render (rather than get
// the server to provide more API).
//
@Path("/customer{uriOptions:(:[^/]+?)?}/")
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, "text/json"})
public class CustomerJsonResource extends AbstractEntityResource {
public CustomerJsonResource() {
super(Customer.class);
}
}
example
AbstractEntityResource provides:
AbstractEntityResource provides an implementation for
Insert, Update, Delete, Delete Many, Find by Id and Find all.
It makes use of UriOptions if defined.
/**
* Insert a bean.
*
* @param bean
* the bean to insert
*/
@POST
public Response insert(@Context UriInfo uriInfo, T bean) {
/**
* Update a bean.
*
* @param id
* the unique id of the bean
* @param bean
* the bean to update
*/
@PUT
@Path("/{id}")
public void update(@PathParam("id") String id, T bean) {
/**
* Delete multiple beans using Id's from the "UriOptions".
*
* @param options
* The UriOptions in the form "::(id1,id2,...)"
*/
@DELETE
public void deleteMultiple(@PathParam("uriOptions") String options) {
/**
* Delete a bean using its id.
*
* @param id
* the unique id of the bean.
*/
@DELETE
@Path("/{id}")
public void delete(@PathParam("id") String id) {
/**
* Find a bean given its Id.
*
* @param id
* the id of the bean.
*/
@GET
@Path("/{id}")
public T find(@PathParam("id") String id, @PathParam("uriOptions") String uriOptions) {
/**
* Find all the beans for this beanType.
*

* This can use URL query parameters such as order and maxrows to configure
* the query.
*

*/
@GET
public List<T> findAll(@Context UriInfo ui, @PathParam("uriOptions") String uriOptions) {
UriOptions
Used to parse a String (typically from part of a URL) into PathProperties, List of Id's and sort clause which can then be applied to the JSON/XML marshaling and ORM query to optimise the building and rendering of part of an object graph.
UriOptions was inspired by the JavaOne presentation from LinkedIn on
building High performance restful APIS's. That presentation is available
on slideshare.net.
Essentially UriOptions gives the caller the ability to specify only
the properties they need. This gives the server implementation the
ability to optimise the marshalling and ORM query without extra
server API's (which would otherwise need to be built and documented).
The UriOptions can contain 3 segments to specify:
- A list of Id's to fetch or delete
- The properties to fetch (can be nested)
- A sort clause
Example URL:
.../v1/customer::(34,35):(name,id,contacts(firstName,lastName)):sort(id desc)
The 3 segments above is broken into:
::(34,35)
// fetch customer 34 and 35
:(name,id,contacts(firstName,lastName))
// fetch customer name, id the customer contacts firstName and lastName
:sort(id desc)
// sort the customers by descending order of their Id values

LOVE FIELD A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1993 James Berardinelli
Running Length: 1:45 Rated: PG-13 (violence)
Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Haysbert, Stephanie McFadden, Brain Kerwin, Louise Latham Director: Jonathan Kaplan Producers: Sarah Pillsbury and Midge Sanford Screenplay: Don Roos Music: Jerry Goldsmith Released by Orion Pictures
John and Jacqueline Kennedy meant different things to different people and, like many Americans in the early 1960s, Lurene Hallett (Michelle Pfeiffer) was enamoured with the first couple. Living in Dallas, Lurene just misses an opportunity to shake the President's hand as he disembarks from his plane on November 22. Shortly thereafter, he's dead and Lurene is devastated. Ignoring explicit instructions from her husband to the contrary, she sets out for Washington D. C. and the President's funeral. Along the way, she meets Paul Cater (Dennis Haysbert) and his quiet little daughter Jonell (newcomer Stephanie McFadden). From then on, her life will never be the same.
Films such as JFK and RUBY examine the assassination from the inside, presenting theories of how and why things happened as they did. LOVE FIELD looks at things from the outside, presenting the perspective of an ordinary Texas woman. For those old enough to remember the Kennedy assassination, this movie will doubtless stir a sense of deja vu. For those too young, it may help to convey some sense of what things were like during that bleak week in November of 1963.
Nevertheless, despite a realistic depiction of how America reacted to the assassination, the first half of LOVE FIELD doesn't have much else going for it. The movie meanders for almost an hour without direction. We know it's going somewhere, and we sense the direction in which it's headed, but it seems to be taking an awful long time to get there.
The central theme of LOVE FIELD is not explored until the second half of the film. It's then, as the relationship between Lurene and Paul becomes better-defined, that the question of racial intolerance rears its head. Superficially, this picture might seem to be a romance, or even a story about people on the run, but the fundamental issue addressed by LOVE FIELD is one of bigotry.
When we look at race relations today, we have to wonder if they have improved that much from 1963. As outdated as some of the attitudes in LOVE FIELD are, there are disturbing parallels with today's headlines. In one of this film's most electrifying moments, Paul screams at Lurene that being white and miserable isn't the same as being black--the two don't compare. Although he soon apologizes for saying that and other things, the words of his impassioned speech provoke a deep reaction.
As far as the story goes, it's relatively straightforward. Once LOVE FIELD finally gets on track, it holds the viewer's interest. Most of the second half is solid drama, although the brief epilogue is feeble. There seems to be some indecision about whether to make the ending happy or poignant, and it ends up being neither.
Michelle Pfeiffer does a solid job in a thankless role. Lurene is not a particularly likable person, and it's always a challenge for an energetic, charismatic actress to give a sensitive portrayal of someone with such an abrasive personality. Dennis Haysbert may have the easier job, but his performance is equally impressive. Stealing scenes from both veterans is young Stephanie McFadden.
LOVE FIELD is definitely not an unqualified success. There's too much wasted screen time and it takes longer for the main thrust of the story to get underway than it should. The issues that the film raises are not unique, nor is their presentation new, but they are important and timely, and one of the strengths of LOVE FIELD is that it manages to get them across without making them seem tired or trite.
Rating: 7.1 (B-, **1/2)

Clay Shaw
Ostensibly an aide to General Charles Thrasher, Shaw stated under oath that he was an OSS (Office of Strategic Services) liaison to Churchill's headquarters. During WWII, received military decorations that would be unlikely if Shaw were merely an aide to Thrasher. Discharged from the Army with the rank of Major, later made a Colonel.
Founded the New Orleans International World Trade Center. Probably involved in money laundering. Served on the Board of Permindex.
Strange claims are made about Shaw's death. He was definitely suffering from lung cancer.

Country pub's team in line for yet another prestigious national award
by Judy RimmerMulti-award-winning Suffolk pub The Unruly Pig, in Bromeswell near Woodbridge, is in line for yet another top national prize.
The popular eaterie has been shortlisted for Best Front of House Team in the prestigious Estrella Damm UK Top 50 Gastropub 2020 Awards - an award it won last year.
This latest shortlisting comes shortly after head chef, Dave Wall, made it through to the final of the Game Chef of the Year 2020 awards
Brendan Padfield, owner of The Unruly Pig said "This latest accolade is a lovely surprise. Simply being shortlisted in what are UK-wide awards is a very great honour and privilege for us.
He added: "The Unruly team are of course thrilled to be given a second bite at the cherry here. It's a huge achievement and down to the wonderful front-of-house team we have, but also due to the dedication. hard work and leadership of restaurant manager Amy Challis.
"She's the fulcrum. She's the star. She has transformed our service and our team beyond recognition, and she makes me very proud indeed. Every day I feel lucky and privileged to work with such a fab team,"
READ MORE - Pub in running for best game chef award
The Estrella Damm UK Top 50 Gastropub Awards have honoured many top names , including Michelin-starred pubs, such as the Flitch of Bacon in Great Dunmow, Essex and TV chef Tom Kerridge's pub, The Coach at Marlow.
The awards ceremony will be held at Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve, near Ashford, Kent, on January 27, when the winners will be announced.
The pub was in the news last month when an original Chairman Mao propaganda poster, part of a propaganda art collection, was stolen from the pub toilet, and there was an attempt to steal a Julie Andrews poster from the disabled toilets.
In 2016 the pub also made national headlines after releasing CCTV of an Ipswich couple who vaulted over its garden hedge to escape paying their £147 bill.
And earlier this year a speeding car skidded into the pub's outdoor planters, causing around £750 worth of damage and narrowly avoiding diners.

Of the {{ song_lessons_count.size }} song lessons I've made, here are the ones I would consider beginner-friendly. Most of these songs need just 3-4 chord shapes, and can be played even if you simplify the strumming or skip certain riffs/fills.
While many of the lessons linked below may include intermediate & advanced content, please note that I typically begin each tutorial with the simplest possible instruction per that song – and then layer on additional concepts later in the lesson.
Please let me know what specific beginner content you'd like to see! I plan on continuing to add to this section of my website, and would love any requests or feedback. Thanks!
Most songs here use some combination of G, C, D, and E-minor. Check out this G-major finger position guide for suggestions on how to position your fingers while playing these chords.
{% for l in beginner_songs %} {% if l.tags contains "Key of G" %}Most songs here use some combination of C, F, G, and A-minor.  You can totally get by using the 3-string version I teach in my F Chord Cheat Sheet (which shows many non-barred options). I also made this Key of C cheat sheet to give an overview of this entire key. And once more, the G-major finger position guide will come in handy with this chord family as well.
{% for l in beginner_songs %} {% if l.tags contains "Key of C" %}Most songs here use some combination of D, G, and A... with one or two of these songs using B-minor. For B-minor, the easiest way to play it is by sliding the A-minor shape up two frets (and only playing strings 2-3-4).
{% for l in beginner_songs %} {% if l.tags contains "Key of D" %}Most songs here use some combination of E, A, and B7. If you need help with these chords, I suggest my video showing walk-ups and walk-downs between E-A-B7, which is a super common technique used in this specific key.

Forum: Public ReviewIssue: REQUIRE-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS-YET-AGAIN
References: Barrett's public review comment #26
Loosemore's public review comment #7
Issue REQUIRE-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS
Issue REQUIRE-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS-AGAIN
Category: CHANGE
Edit history: 20 Dec 1992, Version 1 by Loosemore
Status: Proposal RESTORE-ARGUMENT passed 11-0 on letter ballot
92-302.
Problem description:
In the base document (CLtL), the REQUIRE function was specified as
accepting a required module name argument and an optional pathname
argument. In the current specification, the optional pathname
argument has been removed. The rationale given for this in
X3J13/91-415 is that it was the second argument that led to
portability problems. This claim is incorrect. It was the case that
both the one argument and the two argument forms had portability
problems in the past, but the addition of logical pathnames made the
two argument version easier to use in a portable way. Elimination of the
second argument means that we're left with the same problem the single
argument form has always had, namely that there are several competing,
incompatible mechanisms for dealing with the situation where the
module being required has not already been provided.
Proposal (REQUIRE-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS-YET-AGAIN:RESTORE-ARGUMENT):
Restore the optional pathname argument to REQUIRE, as specified
in the base document.
Replace the examples with ones that better illustrate portable and
nonportable uses of REQUIRE, such as those suggested below.
Rationale:
Restoring the second argument makes it at least *possible* to use
REQUIRE in a portable way.
Examples:
;;; This illustrates a nonportable use of REQUIRE, because it
;;; depends on the implementation-dependent file-loading mechanism.
(require "CALCULUS")
;;; This use of REQUIRE is nonportable because of the literal
;;; physical pathname.
(require "CALCULUS" "/usr/lib/lisp/calculus")
;;; One form of portable usage involves supplying a logical pathname,
;;; with appropriate translations defined elsewhere.
(require "CALCULUS" "lib:calculus")
;;; Another form of portable usage involves using a variable or
;;; table lookup function to determine the pathname, which again
;;; must be initialized elsewhere.
(require "CALCULUS" *calculus-module-pathname*)
Current practice:
Who knows?
Cost to implementors:
Minor.
Cost to users:
None.
Aesthetics:
Having a feature in the language which is impossible to use portably
is unaesthetic.
Editorial impact:
The changes are confined to the dictionary entry for REQUIRE.
Discussion:
The proposal to restore REQUIRE to the language without its second
argument was brought up at the Dec 1991 meeting without the benefit of
a formal writeup or any advance discussion on the mailing list, which
accounts for the resulting technical blunder. We don't have a very
good record when it comes to technical decisions made on the fly at
meetings.
Loosemore says: I would still prefer to remove this broken feature
from the language entirely, but I'd rather not waste any more time
arguing about that given that some people seem to feel strongly about
keeping it in. I'm willing to accept proposal RESTORE-ARGUMENT
as a compromise, but doing nothing would not be acceptable to me.

THE HAUNTING RATING: 4 / 10 --> This movie sucks
For more reviews and movie screensavers, visit http://www.joblo.com/
A big house. A big director, Jan de Bont of SPEED and TWISTER fame. A big star, Catherine Zeta-Jones, hot of the heels of ENTRAPMENT (6.5/10) and ZORRO. A big remake of THE HAUNTING. And big special effects. So what do they all amount to? Unfortunately for us, a big bore!
PLOT: A hotshot doctor brings three insomniacs to an old, spooky mansion for controlled testing. Unbeknownst to the patients, the good doctor is actually conducting his own cover project that has to do with the psychology of fear.
CRITIQUE: This movie just didn't scare me one bit. Sure, it creeped and spooked me out a little here and there, but on the whole, it took waaaaay too long to get going, provided very little meat in the plot, went way past its own bedtime, and basically relied on grunts, the muttering of children's voices and over-the-top special effects, to scare us. Well, this film didn't do much for me. And they might as well have called it the "Haunting of Lily Taylor", since she's basically the only character who had any real depth, background or reason to be in the house in the first place.
Don't get me wrong, Catherine Zeta was sweet window dressing (despite my continued perception of her faint mustache-see ENTRAPMENT), and Owen Wilson was good as the standard "comic relief", but come on people, if you're going to have us sit through two hours in a theater with these folks, how 'bout giving them a little more than one-liners as dimension. Neeson was also wasted as the smart, British guy. It's all too sad, cause certainly the "idea" seemed like a good one (see THE SHINING (9/10) for a close to perfect example of a creepy gone awry), but the story was thin, the conclusion was laughable (Be gone...poof!) and the special effects? Well, they sure were nice to look at, but not for a moment did one of them scare, or even for a split-second, have me believe that they were anything more than Hollywood special gadgetry.
See it for Zeta-Jones, or if you like special effects and scary movies that take forever to get going, and provide very little payback, otherwise skip it and check out the original or the ultimate movie about spooky homes from the netherworld, THE SHINING.
Little Known Facts about this film and its stars: Goofy actor Owen Wilson co-scripted indie favorites RUSHMORE (8/10) and BOTTLE ROCKET with director Wes Anderson. His brother Luke Wilson is also an actor, who once dated Drew Barrymore for a year or so. Brother Andrew is also an actor. Singer Lisa Loeb is listed in the credits as having portrayed the character of Olivia Morice, but I personally did not notice her. She is well known for her number one single "Stay (I missed you)" and goofy glasses. The creaks and moans heard throughout the house were prerecorded and played during filming in order to get a more natural expression of fear out of the actors.  She stands 5'8". In 1998, actor Michael Rapaport pleaded guilty to the aggravated harassment of Lily Taylor. He was ordered to stay away from her and undergo counseling for one year. Actor Bruce Dern, who plays the throwaway role of the gatekeeper in this film, was once nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in COMING HOME. Director Jan de Bont was born in Holland, and began his lengthy career as a cinematographer on films as DIE HARD, HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and BASIC INSTINCT, directed by another Dutchman, Paul Verhoeven. Actor Todd Field also played a small but pivotal role in Stanley Kubrick's last film, EYES WIDE SHUT. He was Nick Nightingale, the pianist. This film was originally titled THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.
Review Date: July 23, 1999 Director: Jan de Bont Writer: David Self (based on novel by Shirley Jackson) Producers: Susan Arnold, Donna Roth and Colin Wilson Actors: Liam Neeson as Dr. David Morrow Lili Taylor as Eleanor Vance Catherine Zeta-Jones as Theo Owen Wilson as Luke Sannerson Genre: Horror Year of Release: 1999 ------------------------------------ JoBlo's Movie Emporium http://www.joblo.com/ ------------------------------------ (c) 1999 Berge Garabedian

Data Transfer Facility Service Scope
About this document
This document explains what is and isn't included in the scope of this service.
About the Data Transfer Facility
Our Data Transfer Facility enables customers to use the secure network connections at our Farnborough office to manage systems or transfer data into or out of their environments.
It's useful if, for example, you don't have enough network bandwidth, or you're waiting for appropriately accredited connectivity to be installed.
If you want to bring in more than 500GiB of VMs, we also offer a Mass Transfer facility.
Booking and booking conditions
To use the Data Transfer Facility, you need to book. The first step is to raise a service request through the My Calls section of the UKCloud Portal.
The Data Transfer Facility is available on a whole-day basis, between 0900 and 1700 on normal business days. The minimum booking period is one day at a cost of £500 per day.
A maximum of 2 workstations are available allowing for 2 concurrent users.
The person nominated to carry out the activity must:
Understand your environment
Have a plan of action
Have the permissions to execute the plan
And if supported by a partner - a technically competent consultant
You are responsible for sizing the amount of time needed to transfer your data. Data transfers can't be left to run over night.
You will be billed for use of the facility on your next monthly statement.
You can cancel your booking, but we reserve the right to charge for cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start of the booking period.
If a third party is to carry out the work on your behalf, you must give us appropriate authorisation in advance. Third parties cannot book the Data Transfer Facility themselves - you must initiate the request.
Before your visit
As the UKCloud office is on a secure site, you need to book with at least 48 hours' notice.
If you're a non-UK national, you need to give us at least 21 days' notice.
You need to bring a valid form of photo ID with you - a passport or driving licence.
 You are not allowed to bring a software encrypted drive, as installation of non-UKCloud software is not authorised.
If you intend to bring your own devices with you to use in the Data Transfer Facility, you must complete the SIRO approval form.
During your visit
You'll be notified of your UKCloud contact before your visit to the site, so please ask for them at reception when you arrive. You'll need to sign in. We'll give you a red 'Escorted' badge, and you'll be escorted round the site by your UKCloud contact.
You'll have access to a PC connected to our Assured or Elevated platform, as specified when you book.
It's expected that you or a third party working on your behalf will be able to complete the data transfer or system management activities without any help from UKCloud.
To help make your day comfortable, the Data Transfer Facility has:
Tea and coffee making facilities, a microwave and a fridge in the kitchen next door
Wifi internet access
You won't be able to leave the site for lunch, so you should either bring your own or ask your UKCloud contact to take you to the onsite café where a variety of food and refreshments are on sale. The onsite ATM accepts all major bank cards.
You can leave the Data Transfer Facility to use the kitchen or restrooms by the main reception area. However, you cannot leave that area, move about the office or go into any other offices unless you're escorted by your UKCloud contact.

If your VMs are in a different format, you can use the OVF Tool and VMware vCenter Converter to upload them.
Supported network ports and protocols
To maintain a secure infrastructure, we whitelist a set of ports that can be used to transfer data. If you want to use ports outside of this range, you need to make a request before you use the Data Transfer Facility.
Inbound ports
| TCP ports | UDP ports | VPN ports |
|---|---|---|
| SSH - 22 | DNS - 53 | AH |
| SMTP - 25 | ESP | |
| HTTP - 80 and 8080 | IPsec - UDP 4500 | |
| HTTPS - 443, 444 and 8443 | ISAKMP --- UDP 500 | |
| Secure SMTP - 465 | ||
| FTPS (Control) - 990 | ||
| IMAPS - 993 | ||
| POP3S - 995 |
Outbound ports
| TCP ports | UDP ports | VPN ports |
|---|---|---|
| SSH - 22 | DNS --- 53 | AH |
| SMTP - 25 | NTP - 123 | ESP |
| HTTP -80 and 8080 | IPsec - UDP 4500 | |
| HTTPS - 443, 444 and 8443 | ISAKMP - UDP 500 | |
| Secure SMTP - 465 | ||
| FTPS (Data) - 989 |
Connectivity
By default the Assured data upload PC is connected to your environment's internet gateway. You can connect from the PC to an external IP in your environment. The IP address of the data upload pc can be added to a firewall rule in your environment to secure access
Access to environments on other networks (e.g HSCN or PSN) will require additional configuration. Please discuss this with your Service Delivery Manager if required
Platform performance
The speed of data transfer to the UKCloud platform isn't guaranteed. However, during tests of the upload and download speeds, an average of 8 Mbit/s was achieved for VM import/export and 40 Mbit/s for data transferred over FTPS.
For a transfer time calculator, go to https://techinternets.com/copy_calc?do.
If you use FTPS to upload data to or download it from your environment, you can transfer up to 1TB of data in a day.
Anticipated transfer speeds
Transfer speeds will vary based on a number of factors such as the protocol being used or the system being targeted.
The following table can help you calculate the time required to upload data based on estimated speeds derived from our testing and simulations:
| Upload type | Protocol | Estimated transfer speed |
|---|---|---|
| vCloud VM import | SSL | 8 Mbit/s |
| vCloud data store file upload | SSL | 8 Mbit/s |
| vCloud multi-threaded upload | SSL | 16 Mbit/s |
| File upload to virtual machine | SCP | 20 Mbit/s FTPS 40 Mbit/s FTP 40 Mbit/s |
If the Data Transfer Facility doesn't provide the performance you need, you can engage a Cloud Architect to discuss other options.

“He was in some kind of a conveyance. He didn't know what it was. An automobile, a carriage, a train? He didn't know. He only understood that it went swiftly, swaying from side to side through a sable pit. Whenever his mind moved at all it came back to that sensation of a black pit in which he remained suspended, swinging from side to side, trying to struggle up against impossible odds. Once or twice words flashed like fire through the pit: “Tyrant!—Fool to go.” From a long immersion deeper in the pit he struggled frantically. He must get out. Somehow he must find wings.” — Wadsworth Camp, The Abandoned Room

Profiling
Profiling an application means to record information about its performance to analyse where time is wasted and figure out how to make things faster.
Capturing Profiling Data
ezEngine has a built in profiling system with which you can record the function call graph, across all active threads, with precise timing information. The profiling system is very efficient, which is why in development builds it is constantly recording data to a ring buffer, which allows you to write recent profiling data to disk at any time. That means whenever you encounter a situation with bad performance, you can just press a button (in stock applications (TODO) such as ezPlayer it's the F8
key) to save a snapshot.
The application will write to the log where it stored the profiling snapshot. You can see this in the console:
You can reach this folder easier by typing %appdata%
into the address bar of Windows Explorer.
You can also store a capture yourself through ezProfilingSystem::Capture()
.
Investigating a Profiling Snapshot
The profiling data is stored as a JSON file in Chrome Tracing Format. To inspect the file, you need to have Google Chrome installed.
- Type
chrome://tracing
into the address bar - Click
Load
and select the profiling data file
You should now see something like this:
Each block represents a profiling scope (typically a function call). Blocks below other blocks represent nested scopes. When you select a block, Chrome displays the time it took. You can scroll and zoom the view.
Important:
The
chrome://tracing
view has a very particular method for navigation. Apart from the obvious modes that you can select with the mouse, the default way is actually to use the WSAD keys.W
andS
are used to zoom in and out.A
andD
are used to scroll left and right. Use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down. If you manage to get used to this, it is much more convenient than the other methods.
Profiling Custom Code
If you have custom C++ code that you want to profile in more detail, all you need to do is to insert profiling macros into each scope that you want to profile:
void MyFunc()
{
EZ_PROFILE_SCOPE(MyFuncScope);
// ... do stuff ...
}
This introduces a profiling scope, here with the display name 'MyFuncScope'. The time it takes to reach the end of the scope, starting at the macro, will be timed and recorded.
If your scope makes rendering calls for which you want to record the GPU timings, use EZ_PROFILE_AND_MARKER
.
Important:
Many profiling scopes end up taking only very little time. Inspecting those is rarely useful, but each recorded entry takes up valuable space in the ring buffer of the profiling system. Therefore the profiling system automatically discards information about scopes that fall below some threshold. That means your custom scope may not show up in the output. If you do want to see even very short scopes, you can adjust the threshold either through
ezProfilingSystem::SetDiscardThreshold()
or through the CVarg_ProfilingDiscardThresholdMs
.

The story of the JOHAN ADAM DRUMM FAMILY, below, as
written by Lewis W. Donar and edited by Brendan D. Strasser first appeared in the newsletter of the Albany
Township Historical Society, Spring 1998. Johan Adam Drumm was the 6th great grandfather of the
author of this website, R.E. Harrington (phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail: richardharrington31@gmail.com).
.
The MURDER of ADAM DRUM
THE
JOHAN ADAM DRUMM FAMILY
Johan Adam Drumm, son of Johan Christian and Anna Elisabeth (Doll) Drumm, was born and raised in Ulmet,
Germany, a town in the Palatinate, known as the Pfalz. His exact birth date is
unknown, but his christening took place on 9 December 1705 in Ulmet. On 22 January 1733 he was married to Gertraud (Maria Gertrude) Bier, daughter of Peter and Ann
Catharine Bier of Ulmet. John Adam and Gertraud became the parents of a son, Johan Christian, born
in Ulmet and christened on 17 April 1735, and of whom
nothing more is known. He does not appear on ship immigration records and in
1775 documents concerning ownership of the deceased Adam's Albany Township
land. George Drumm, Christian's brother, is listed as
Adam's sole living heir.
At age 31, Johan
Adam Drumm and his wife, Gertraud,
arrived in the New World aboard the ship "Samuel", on 29 August 1737.
(Johan Christian Doll and Johan Peter Doll were also on board, but any
relationship to the mother of Johan Adam has not yet been established.) On the
following day, 30 August, Adam appeared at the courthouse in Philadelphia, Pa.,
to sign the necessary qualification papers, one being the swearing of
allegiance to the King of England, George II, and the other a pledge to abide
by the laws of the province of Pennsylvania. Being able to write, he signed
both by his own hand.
Adam established
himself as a land owner in Albany Township, Berks County, Pa., by warrant dated
20 January 1736 for a tract containing 205 acres. In the year 1738, a son,
George, was born; his exact birth date is unknown. On 4 November, 1741, it is
noted on a draft of a tract of land drawn in favor of Andreas Hagenbuch that Adam Drum was already, in possession of the
neighboring tract. The Drumm tract adjoined the Hagenbuch tract on the northwest, between it and the tree
line of the Blue Mountain.
Keeping this in
mind, we turn now to another tract of land eight-tenths of a mile farther to
the West. This tract is identified on a draft of
"The great road of Catawissey to
Philadelphia" drawn in February 1752, along which is noted the course and
distance of a short stretch of this road, East, 43 perches [about 710 feet],
"Along the land of Adam Trum." Evidence
exists that at some time between 1741 and 1752, Adam
sold his initial tract to Frantz and Martin Bailey and took residence on his
second purchase. At a much later time, the first purchase was in the possession
of Mr. Clifford Lutz, the second the farm of Mr. Oskar Dietrich. It must be
assumed that the Drumm family was living on this
second plantation when the following events occurred.
It was evidently
a hot Wednesday afternoon with thunderstorms threatening. At that time of day
the family quite probably was gathered for the evening meal when suddenly two
things took place almost simultaneously. A thunderstorm of major proportion
broke over the countryside, and the Drumm family was
brutally attacked by Indians. The date was 22 June 1757.
In a letter
written on 25 June 1757 to David Schulrz of Hanover
Township, Berks County, Pa., James Reed of Reading, Pa., gives the following
account of this attack:
"Last night
Jacob Levan came to see me, and showed me a letter of
the 22d inst. From Lieutenant Engle by which he advised Mr. Levan
of the murder of one Adam Trump (an alternate spelling of "Drumm) in Allemangel, by Indians
that evening, and that they had taken Trump's wife and his son, a lad of
nineteen years old, prisoners; but the woman escaped, though, upon her flying,
she was closely pursued by one of the Indians (of which there were seven), that
he threw his tomahawk at her, and cut her badly ill the neck, but 'tis hoped
not dangerously. This murder happened in as great a thunderstorm as has
happened for twenty years past: which extended itself over a great part of this
and Northampton Counties--for I found much mischief done, as I came from
Easton, Northampton County, to this place, the length of fifty two miles, the
day before yesterday, and which I hear has broken down the dams of seven
forges, and six gristmills, on Maxatany creek,
chiefly in this county; the rest in Philadelphia County. I almost forgot to
mention (but am so hurried just now, 'tis no wonder) that the Indians, after
scalping Adam Trump, left a knife, and a halpert, or
spear, fixed to a pole in his body."
Adam Trump was
dead, his wife was badly wounded and his son, George, was a captive of the
Indians who having stolen, a quantity of liquor out of the house, moved
westward and arrived at a hill (today known as Hawk Mountain). The consumption
of liquor was having its effect on the Indians, for they began to make much
noise and dance around in the road. As they ascended the hill, things were in
such a state that at an opportune time, George made his escape by running down the
other side of the hill. [This writer is familiar with this stretch of road in
its unimproved state and can appreciate the effort made by George in descending
this water-soaked ground road in the dark of night; having descended the
mountain, he immediately had the Schuylkill river to cross and then a great
deal of travel in a very hilly countryside to get to his destination at Fort
Lebanon.]
Captain Jacob
Morgan, the commander of Fort Lebanon, which was located several miles west
from where George Drumm made his escape, wrote in his
daily journal for 24 June 1757:
"Yesterday
morning about 8 of the clock, the son of one Adam Drumm,
(whom the Indians had killed the night before in Allemingle
[sic] and took his son captive) found an opportunity to make his escape and
came to this Fort. He informed me that the Indians (8 in number) had got a
quantity of liquor out of his father's house and came to a hill about 7 miles
from this Fort, where they got to dancing, and made themselves drunk he took
the opportunity and escaped to the Fort. An Indian followed him near a mile and
a half whom our men tracked; so as soon as the young man came I sent out a
party to the place where the man left them, but when they came there they only
found an old pair of mogasins and a deer skin whom
they had left, but the Indians were fled; they tract't
them as far as they could but night coming, were obligated to return home. I
have this day sent out a party to intercept them in the way to the gap of the
second mountain. (where Schuylkill [this should read: Swatara
Creek] comes through) being the place which I found they often retreat back;
the men will range about 2 days."
George returned
to his home and continued operation of the plantation; however, nothing further
has been learned about his mother. On 16 October 1757, we find that George Trumm and Elisabeth Hem, single, witness the baptism of
Elisabeth Scherff, daughter of Christoph
and Christina Scherff, four years before the erection
in 1760-61 of the first New Bethel (or Corner) Church in Albany Township.
Sometime in late
1759, George married Maria Catharina Strasser,
daughter of Johann Nicolaus and Maria Catharine Strasser
of Albany Township; also in 1759, we find George on the Albany Township tax
list.
On the 17 July
1760, George Trumm and Maria Catharina witnessed the
baptism of Maria Catharina Schwenck, daughter of Hans
Nicolaus and Maria Barbara Schwenck. Also in 1760,
during the construction of the New Bethel Church, George contributed 1 pound in

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above story of the murder of
Johan Adam Drum (9 December 1707 - 22 June 1757) did not occur in Monroe
County. However, relatives of Johan Adam Drum ultimately migrated to and
established the Drum line in Monroe County, Ohio. Upon immigration to America in August of
1737, Adam Drum and his wife of four and half years settled on land about 20
miles west of the present location of Allentown, Pennsylvania. This was the
approximate site where he was killed.
Adam's nephew, Johann Philipp Drum
(3 Mar 1721 - 14 Nov 1788), son of Adam's older brother, Johann Simon Drum (8
Sep 1689 - ?), also immigrated to America and settled in Pennsylvania. Two
generations later, this branch of the Drum family in the person of Jacob Drum
(1770 - 3 Oct 1842) moved to Graysville, Monroe County, Ohio.
Adam Drum of this story, therefore,
was the great-granduncle of the first known resident of the Monroe County Drum
family, Jacob Drum (1770 - 3 Oct 1842). At least two Monroe County lines
spawned from the 1808 migration of Jacob Drum (1770 - 3 Oct 1842) to Monroe
County. One branch was that William Drum (1824 - ?) who
was the subject of an article in the Hardesy/Caldwell
Atlas*. Another branch leads to Monroe County's own, Dr. Shirley A. Harmon, whose tireless work
contributes so extensively to the Monroe County, Ohio genealogy effort.
* The source of the article about of Phillip Drum (1799 - ?) and his son,
William Drum (1824 - ?) is a book titled the "Combined History and
Atlas of Monroe County, Ohio." The material for the "Combined
History and Atlas of Monroe County, Ohio." was taken from two
nineteenth century books: (1) "History of Monroe County Ohio,"
a product of the H.H. Hardesty & Co., publishers, Chicago and Toledo, 1882
and (2) "Caldwell's Atlas of Monroe County, Ohio," a product
of Atlas Publishing Company, Mount Vernon, Ohio, 1898. Copies of the "Combined
History and Atlas of Monroe County, Ohio" are available from the
Monroe County Historical Society in Woodsfield, Ohio. They can be reached at:

Oregon and Utah have the No. 6 and No. 7 spots, respectively, and that is good news for the Pac-12. Oklahoma remains at No. 9 despite beating undefeated Baylor last week.

A light, herby risotto with braised monkfish – perfect dinner party fare.
For the risotto, heat a large frying pan or sauté pan and melt the butter. Add the onion, fennel and celery and cook until soft, this will take 3–5 minutes. Stir in the rice and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until reduced in volume at least by half.
Pour the stock into a saucepan and drop in the saffron. Gently heat, then add the stock to the rice mixture in batches, stirring until it is absorbed before adding more stock. This will take 15–20 minutes. Finish with the butter.
For the monkfish, heat the butter in a large, lidded frying pan and add the onion and fennel. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then add the chilli and coriander seeds and zest and juice of the orange and cook for a further 1–2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and red wine. Bring to the boil and cook until reduced to a thick, sticky consistency. Add the monkish and cover. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through.
Serve the risotto in shallow serving bowls, topped with the monkfish and finished with the coriander and mint.

Test purpose
- Check that the media stream loads (if browser/device supports it)
- Check that we can load and use both Tensorflow (from a CDN) and its body-pix model
- Apply the model to a live camera feed
- Create a RawAsset object to handle the model's output. In particular
- Parse the output's metadata to identify the left and right eyes
- Calculate the position of each eye, averaged over several iterations
- Update the RawAsset's canvas with two transluscent circles covering over the eyes
