Creating workflowsTo create a new workflow select, Workflow from the menu to the left of Admin mode. Existing workflows on the website are listed on the right hand side of the page. You create a new flow by selecting Create new workflow. The form for the settings of the workflow is now shown on four tabs. Make your settings on the various tabs and select Save at the top above the tabs. GeneralOn the General tab, you specify general information about the flow.
NameSpecify the name of the flow. If the flow is to be started manually, the name should be as descriptive as possible so that the editor can see the difference between different flows.Owner of the flowWho is to be the owner of the flow. You can choose a certain person or group to be owner of the flow-. This person will receive an e-mail when tasks are carried out and when a task is beginning to lapse. You can also decide that the person who is logged in and activates the flow should also be owner of the flow by selecting Logged on user as owner.Allowing manual startThere is an option for setting automatic activation of the flow at a certain place in the tree structure. In some cases it could be appropriate to let the editors activate the flow themselves to ensure that a page situated in another part of the tree structure can go through the flow. If you want to allow manual start, select that option.Actions for when there is a conflict between flow and publishing the pageWhen a page is included in a workflow with multi-step approval, the persons in the workflow do not normally have the right to publish the page. In some cases you can give them, or somebody else, the right to publish even if you would rather have the page approved by one or more persons before publishing. This could mean that a person enters the system and publishes a page in the flow that is waiting to be approved by somebody else. You have the option to choose what to do at such a conflict.No action means that the page is published and that the flow continues to allocate tasks. Do not allow publication means that the page is not published and that the flow continues to allocate tasks. Cancel the flow means that the page is published and the flow is cancelled and no more tasks are allocated. DescriptionA brief description of the flow, this text is visible for the editorFlow descriptionNameTo add a new person or group to the flow, select the person or group from the drop-down menu and select Add new step. The name of the person or group is presented in a list and you can specify the tasks of this person or group.TypeIn the Type field you select what the task means. If the person is to Check or Publish a page.Time-limited taskIf you want the task to be carried out within a certain time span you can specify this in the Time-limited task-field. You can choose to specify a whole number followed by a unit of a minute, hour or day. If a task is lapsing, an e-mail will be sent to the person allocated the task and to the owner of the flow.Actions for refused taskIf a person or group refuses the task, you can decide if the task should continue in the flow or if the flow should be cancelled.Placement within the flowThe buttons to the far right of each person or group allows you to move persons or groups within the flow. The up arrow moves persons or groups one step up, the down arrow one step down. A tick removes a person or group from the flow.Automatic activationThe Automatic activation tab allows you to specify what should be allowed to start automatic activation and where in the tree structure this should take place.
When an editor saves and previews a page there are two alternatives for publishing. The alternatives activated depends on which rights the editor has. If the editor has the right to publish information, the Publish and Ready for publishing buttons are both activated. If the editor does not have the right to publish, then only the Ready for publishing button is activated. You can choose which or if both of these buttons should apply to automatic activation of the workflow. Places on the tree structure where automatic activation appliesYou can point out one or more places on the tree structure where automatic activation should apply. If it concerns the entire website, you point out the start page. If you select the page at the top of the struc-ture where you want it to apply, all the subpages will also be selected. Select Add new activation point. The Link to a page dialogue box opens and you can point out the page on the tree structure where you want the flow to be automatically activated.Activated flows
If you as administrator want to see the flows that are currently using the workflow, there is a list of all activated flows under the Activated flows tab. You can see who has been allocated a task but has not yet implemented it. You can also see implemented tasks and comments left by the editor. You can also remove the flow from here. You remove the active flow, not the entire workflow. Editing the workflowIf a person leaves and somebody else comes to replace them, you can edit the existing flows. Select Workflow from the menu to the left of Admin mode. Existing workflows on the website are listed on the right hand side of the page. Click on the name of the flow in the list to edit the workflow. Make your settings on the various tabs and select Save at the top above the tabs.Removing workflowsIf you want to remove an entire workflow you can do this from Admin mode. Select Workflow from the menu to the left of Admin mode. Existing workflows on the website are listed on the right hand side of the page. Click on the name of the flow in the list to remove the workflow. Then select Remove top right above the tabs. Remember that all activated flows within this workflow are concluded if you remove it. |

--- layout: newsstory title: SORRY FOR THE DELAY match: Yeltz 1 Havant 0 ---
Unfortunately I'm in the USA on business this week so the usual slightly out-of-date coverage may be even slower. This also means I'm even more dependent on you lot to send me match reports, details, gossip etc. so just mail me at the usual address and I'll try and get stuff up ASAP.
All I do know is good - a fourth straight win - this time at home to Havant with a goal from young superstar Ian Aldridge, and we're up to a much healthier 11th place. Hurrah!
And so our run stretches to an incredible 4 games won. The goal came in the first 10 minutes when a header from Clinton hit the bar and the ball fell kindly to Ian Aldridge who couldn't miss from a couple of yards out. Then a few minutes later Aldo missed a rebound from a saved Clinton shot. The next 30 minutes passed with little action(I think).
The second half started like the first had ended but it sprung back into action when "Our Ashley" had a dipping shot from a tight angle which hit the bar. Then Clinton missed a shot from 5 yards out after a well worked freekick. However this was nothing compared to the fun which was had by all when Salvatore Bibbo (is his name better than Chuck Martini's?) handled a Ian Aldridge lob which seemed sure to be finished by Aldo. Bibbo was sent off for this offence and for the last 10 minutes an outfield player had to take his place (not sure of the blokes name). From the resulting freekick (incidentally the wall was never 10 yards cos the freekick was taken on the very edge of the 18 yard-box with the wall standing a yard behind the penalty spot which means the wall was surely only 7 yards). The replacement keeper saved well for a defender from the freekick. Although this result means we are in 11th place we surely deserved to win this one about 3-0.


In this post, I walk through some basics of neural networks. I assume the reader is already familar with some basic ML concepts such as logistic regression, linear regression, and classifier decision boundaries.
Neural networks are made up of neurons. A single neuron in a neural network takes inputs , applies a linear transformation to these inputs to compute , and then applies a (nonlinear) activation function to to compute an output .
Different activation functions result in different generalized linear models. For example, if is the sigmoid function (also called the logistic function), the neuron is essentially a logistic regression, provided we fit the model using cross-entropy loss/maximum likelihood estimation. Similarly, if is the identity function, the neuron is a linear regression as long as we fit the model using square loss. Popular activation functions are
The tanh (plotted below) and sigmoid functions have the same shape, but the sigmoid takes values in , whereas tanh takes values in . The precise relationship between the two is given by .
A single neuron divides space with a hyperplane and can therefore learn to classify linearly separable data. As an example, consider a two dimensional feature space and a single neuron with a hyperbolic tangent activation function. The output of the neuron is
Notice the neuron fires on the decision boundary , is positive on one side of the boundary, and is negative on the other. By multiplying , , and by a sufficiently large scalar, the boundary remains the same, but the transition from to as you move across the boundary essentially becomes a step function so that on one side, on the boundary, and on the other side.
The key point is that one neuron can divide the plane in two. We use this observation later when we discuss decision boundaries of neural networks.
A neural network is a collection of connected neurons, where the output of each neuron is either an input to another neuron or a final output of the network. As a reminder, each neuron has some parameters that describe how to linearly transform its inputs and an activation function. The most basic neural network is the feed-forward neural network, in which the neurons are arranged in sequential layers, where the outputs of neurons from one layer are the inputs to the neurons in the next layer.
The zeroth layer contains the input features (3 features in the picture above) and is usually not counted as a layer when describing a neural network. The above network thus has 3 layers: the first layer has 4 nodes, the second has 2 nodes, and the third (output) layer has 1 node. Working through the depicted example:
Layers 1 and 2 are called hidden layers to distinguish them from the output layer. Nodes are sometimes called units and so the nodes in the hidden layers are called hidden units.
The neuron view above is complicated and obfuscates the bigger picture. For more complicated networks, we often draw a layer view.
The layer view emphasizes how many nodes are in each layer (its size) and some other information, such as which activation function is used for all nodes in the layer.
The primary task in supervised machine learning is given a set of points , ‘‘learn’’ a function such that . Neural networks provide a very rich class of functions from which to learn .
To understand the kind of data we can fit with a neural network, recall that a single neuron can linearly separate data. Suppose we have three neurons (with tanh activations) in the first layer of a neural network, each dividing the two-dimensional feature plane in a different way. Let , , and be outputs of these neurons and let be the sum (computed by a neuron in the second layer). The figure below depicts three lines corresponding to decision boundaries of the neurons in the first layer. The shaded regions correspond to different values of , the output of the second layer.
Notice that on the dark blue triangle in the center, but is 2 or less in all other regions. We can thus test if a point belongs to the center triangle by checking whether . We just showed how a two-layer neural network can learn a triangular decision region. Similar arguments show that neural networks can capture intersections and unions of half spaces, which allows them to model arbitrarily complex decision boundaries.
In fact, shallow two-layer neural networks can model bounded continuous functions arbitrarily well. Deep learning is crucial, though, because shallow networks do not necessarily model complex functions efficiently. Indeed, there are functions that require exponentially more nodes to model with a shallow network than with a deep network. A more intuitive explanation for why deep learning works better in practice is that the layers in a deep network gradually learn more and more complex structure. For example, the first layer in an image recognition model might learn to recognize edges, the next layer might learn to recognize basic shapes, and so forth.
A feed forward neural network is just a composition of a lot of functions. Indeed, the final output of the network is a composition of layer transformations
where the transformation in the th layer consists of a linear function followed by a nonlinear activation .
To evaluate the network at a point , we work from the inside outwards in the composition, first computing , then using to compute , and so forth. In the layer diagram, this corresponds to going through the network from left to right and is called forward propagation.
The coefficients and in the linear functions are the parameters of the network. A neural network is usually fit with mini-batch gradient descent or some other first order optimization scheme. This requires computing the derivative of some loss with respect to the network’s parameters.
The loss is also a large composition
Assuming each layer has one node for simplicity, the chain rule gives the following:
To compute the loss derivative with respect to the th layer’s parameters, we work from right to left in the network, first computing , then computing , and so on. This is called back propagation.
To summarize
I will discuss forward and back propagation in more detail in the next post, where I’ll walk through implementing a deep neural network.

pyconstruct.domains.MiniZincDomain¶
-
class
pyconstruct.domains.
MiniZincDomain
(domain_file, feature_var='phi', n_features_var='N_FEATURES', cache=None, n_jobs=1, timeout=None, **kwargs)¶ Base class for domains encoded in minizinc.
This is the default method for encoding a domain in Pyconstruct. When using MiniZinc to encode a domain, objects are represented in terms of their attributes, i.e. as dictionaries containing attribute names associated to their values. The default inference oracle is assumed to be MiniZinc, through its Python interface PyMzn. Using MiniZinc, the attributes of the output objects y include all independent optimization variables. Input examples x are also dictionaries containing attributes corresponding to all the unspecified dzn parameters in the minizinc file.
When using this class out-of-the-box, the domain is assumed to be encoded into a PyMzn pmzn domain file. PyMzn allows to templatize MiniZinc models using Jinja2. With Jinja2, it is possible to reuse the same domain (attributes, constraints and features) to solve different inference problems. The most basic PyMzn domain would look like this:
{% from 'globals.pmzn' import domain, solve %} {% from 'linear.pmzn' import linear_model %} {% call domain(problem) %} % Your domain definition, e.g. int: x; var 0 .. 10: y; constraint x + y <= 10; {% endcall %} {% call linear_model(problem, params, n_features='10') %} % Your features definition, e.g. [ x + y, x - y % ... ] {% endcall %} {{ solve(problem) }}
This is a MiniZinc file containing bits of templating in Jinja2. All the logic for handling several standard inference problems are hidden inside the various calls to the macros imported from linear.pmzn and globals.pmzn. A user of the library should be able to define a valid domain by only specifing the input and output variables, the constraints, and the features of the objects in a file with the above structure. You can see some examples in the pyconstruct/examples folder in the source code.
Templating with Jinja2 is a powerful way to encode a domain, however, if you need some even more customization logic for inference, or you simply do not want to use MiniZinc, you may subclass the BaseDomain class and provide a custom implementation. In principle, learning algorithms should be agnostic to the type of objects a domain returns, as long as the features are encoded as a
numpy.ndarray
(in case of a linear model); hence, inheriting from the BaseDomain class allows to use any other convenient representation for the objects and any other inference oracle.The shared templating library of Pyconstruct is organized in such a way to group together helper macros pertaining the same kind of models. For instance, the file linear.pmzn contains helper macros that can be used in conjunction with LinearModels. Some files like globals.pmzn or metrics.pmzn contain instead routines useful for all kinds of models.
Currently, linear models are the only kind supported by Pyconstruct, but we plan to provide more, e.g. CRFs.
Parameters: - domain_file (str) – The path to the pmzn file.
- feature_var (str) – The name of the MiniZinc variable containing the feature array. Used for getting the feature vector when the domain encodes inference over a linear model.
- n_feature_var (str) – The name of the MiniZinc variable containing the number of features. Used for getting the number of features when the domain encodes inference over a linear model.
- timeout (None or int) – The timeout to give to the solver (in seconds). None (default) means no timeout.
- kwargs – Any other argument needed by the template engine. These are passed to all inference problems solved by the domain.
Methods
infer
(*args, **kwargs)Inference oracle. n_features
(**kwargs)Return the number of features in the feature vector.

Katy Perry snubs official at Mumbai airport during passport check. Internet blasts her
Katy Perry snubbed an official at the Mumbai airport during passport check. The video has gone viral.
International pop singer Katy Perry has been slammed by a section of the internet for appearing to ignore security officials at the Mumbai airport over the weekend. At the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Katy was surrounded by fans and her security team as she headed inside.
She did oblige a fan with her autograph and as she proceeded, Katy was asked for her passport at the entry gate. Katy, however, did not provide her passport and instead, walked ahead while her team was heard conversing with the official.
The entire incident has been caught on camera as the video has gone viral on social media.
Watch the video here:
The internet is furious as Katy refused to adhere to the instructions of the security official and censured her in the comments section of the post on Instagram. "They should respect our law....very shameful act," a user said while another added, "Yes she is an international superstar but that gives her no right to disobey Indian laws and security protocols."
Sample the comments here:
Katy Perry was in Mumbai for her concert at the One Plus Music Festival. Grammy Award-winning star Dua Lipa also performed her chartbusters at the concert.
Filmmaker Karan Johar hosted a grand party for the singers during their trip to India. Celebrities including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput and Ananya Panday attended the party.

Your letters for Nov. 12
by Calgary Herald"The truth is: remove equalization payments, largely funded by Alberta, and Quebec actually ran an $8 billion deficit."
Quebec surplus shows Canadian fiscal inequity
Quebec announces 2019-2020 surplus: $4 billion; Quebec equalization revenue: $12 billion; Alberta net outflow to Canada: $20-25 billion; Alberta deficit (2018-2019): $6.7 billion (amid harsh cuts in government expenditures). Do the math.
The truth is: remove equalization payments, largely funded by Alberta, and Quebec actually ran an $8 billion deficit.
How long will Albertans continue to put up with this fiscal inequity — just one of many reasons why many Albertans want out of Confederation.
Mike Priaro, Calgary
The Central Library is not free
I am pleased to see the high level of local engagement and international recognition for this wonderful facility. I am equally baffled that it is continually labeled as free. Tax-paying citizens paid in full for this building. And we continue to pay every day for the daily operation and staffing to support the provision of free meeting rooms, entertainment and other amenities to the community.
Agreed, this is a great public facility. However, it is most definitely not free.
Steve Howes, Calgary
The east is not the enemy
Dissension from Alberta has been coming our way here in Ontario since the federal election. Why the political vitriol directed at the east? Two-thirds of us Ontario voters did not vote for the Liberal party. We are gratefully dependent on your gas and oil. We understand pipeline politics. We certainly have our own economic and social problems. I do not hear people blaming western Canada for high energy costs. Political divisions in the country are intense and much of the media amplifies divisiveness and blame. Why would Canadians not have different political ideas when we live in such a vast, diverse country? Thankfully, we now have a minority government that will require more input and be forced to compromise. Understandably, many Albertans are angry (according to the media here) following the Liberals’ re-election. The east is not the enemy. The struggles and successes of your great province affect us all.
Hugh J MacMillan, Peterborough, Ont.
Canada is already generous with social programs
Re: Parents need more than services, letter, Nov. 7
Say what? The government should give more money to help parents raise their children? Canada is among the most generous countries in the world when it comes to social programs and financial subsidies. Why do you think so many people are clamouring to get in here –both legally and illegally?
Yes, the public demands eligibility and accountability for such services, but this would not be possible by simply giving more money directly to parents. What’s to prevent it being spent on things other than children? And heaven help a government that tried to monitor where the money went. Big Brother accusations would fly.
Nancy Marley-Clarke, Calgary

This example finally takes advantage of what sets Hotcake apart from other hotloaders - its ability to hotload classes.
The below "pulsate" button and example element are both controlled by a "view" class.
This view class initially pulses the square rapidly green. But what if we want to change that behavior?
The second version of the class pulsates it slowly red.
Pressing the "hotload" button will swap the first version of the script for the second version.


Perhaps you were class president in high school. Or perhaps you were a member
of the honor society. You could have graduated in the top percentile of your
graduating class; perhaps you were even valedictorian. Maybe your were in the honors
program or the International Baccalaureate program. Actually, it doesn't really matter
what you did in high school as you make the transition to college. High school success
(or lack of it) doesn't automatically apply to college.
You start college with a clean academic slate, along with a lot of independence and a
myriad of critical decisions as you begin the transition into adulthood. The decisions
that you make and the actions you take during this first year of college will have a major
impact on the rest of your college experience.
According to American College Testing (ACT), one in every four college students leaves
before completing their sophomore year - and nearly half of all freshmen will either drop
out before obtaining a degree or complete their college education elsewhere.
But wait! This article is not meant to scare you or take away any of the joy, excitement,
and anticipation you feel about going to college. Quite the opposite. This article is all
about the things you need to do to not only survive your first year of college, but to thrive
in college. And many of the tools, skills, and habits you develop through this article can not
only be used to help you succeed in college, but in your future career as well.
The first few weeks on campus are extremely critical for all new students. It is during
this time that you make critical decisions that will have an effect on the rest of your life.
Some of these 25 tips are critical during your first weeks, while the others are meant for
onger-term guidance and survival. Whatever you do, be sure to be yourself and try to enjoy your
college experience as much as possible. Expect to feel some stress and homesickness, but don't
let these issues wear you down.
1.  Do you really need to go on yet another
campus tour? Yes. The faster you learn your way around campus -- and around all the red tape --
the more at ease you'll feel and the better prepared you'll be when issues arise.
2. Get to know your roommate and others in your residence hall. The people you live with,
most of whom are going through similar experiences and emotions, are your main safety net --
not only this year, but for all your years. You may change roommates after the first semester or
you may stay roommates for all four years -- just take the time to get to know your fellow
first-year students.
3. Get Organized. In high school, the teachers tended to lead you through all the
homework and due dates. In college, the professors post the assignments -- often for the entire semester
-- and expect you to be prepared. Buy an organizer, a PDA, a big wall calendar -- whatever it takes for
you to know when assignments are due.
4. Find the ideal place for you to study. It may be your dorm room or a cozy corner of the
library, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done -- while avoiding as many distractions
as possible.
5. Go to class. Obvious, right? Maybe, but sleeping in and skipping that 8 am class will
be tempting at times. Avoid the temptation. Besides learning the material by attending classes, you'll also
receive vital information from the professors about what to expect on tests, changes in due dates, etc.
6. Become an expert on course requirements and due dates.
One of the lamest excuses a student can give a professor: "I didn't know it was due today."
7. Meet with your professors. Speaking as a professor, I can assure you there are only
upsides to getting to know your professors, especially if later in the semester you run into some snags.
Professors schedule office hours for the sole purpose of meeting with students -- take advantage of that time.
8. Get to know your academic adviser. This is the person who will help you with course
conflicts, adding or dropping courses, scheduling of classes for future semesters, deciding on majors and minors.
This person is a key resource for you -- and should be the person you turn to with any academic issues or
conflicts. And don't be afraid of requesting another adviser if you don't click with the one first assigned
to you.
9. Seek a balance. College life is a mixture of social and academic happenings.
Don't tip the balance too far in either direction. One of my favorite former students always used to say
her motto was to "study hard so she could play hard."
10. Get involved on campus. A big problem for a lot of new students is a combination of
homesickness and a feeling of not quite belonging. A solution? Consider joining a select group -- and be
careful not to go overboard -- of student organizations, clubs, sororities or fraternities, or sports teams.
You'll make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school.
11. Strive for good grades. Another obvious one here, right? Remember the words of the
opening paragraph; while good grades could have come naturally to you in high school, you will have to earn
them in college -- and that means setting some goals for yourself and then making sure you work as hard as
you can to achieve them.
12. Take advantage of the study resources on campus. Just about all colleges have learning
labs and tutors available. If you're having some troubles, these resources are another tool available to you.
Another idea: form study groups.
13. Make time for you. Be sure you set aside some time and activities that help you relax
and take the stress out of your day or week. Whether it's enlisting yoga techniques, watching your favorite
television shows, or writing in a journal, be good to yourself.
14. Don't feel pressured to make a hasty decision about a career or a major. It doesn't matter
if it seems as though everyone else seems to know what they're doing with their lives -- believe me, they don't
-- college is the time for you to really discover who you are, what you enjoy doing, what you're good at, and
what you want to be. It's not a race; take your time and enjoy exploring your options.
15. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Don't look to place the blame on others
for your mistakes; own up to them and move on. Being an adult means taking responsibility for everything that
happens to you.
16. Make connections with students in your classes. One of my best students said his technique
in the first week of classes was to meet at least one new person in each of his classes. It expanded his network
of friends -- and was a crucial resource at times when he had to miss a class.
17. Find the Career Services Office. Regardless of whether you are entering college as
undeclared or have your entire future mapped out, seek out the wonderful professionals in your college's
career services office and get started on planning, preparing, and acting on your future.
18.  It may have been easy in high school to wait
until the last minute to complete an assignment and still get a good grade, but that kind of stuff will not
work for you in college. Give yourself deadlines -- and stick to them.
19. Stay healthy/Eat Right. A lot of problems first-year students face can be traced back to
an illness that kept them away from classes for an extended period of time that led to a downward spiraling
effect.  If you haven't heard the jokes about college
food, you soon will. And without mom or dad there to serve you a balanced meal, you may be tempted to go for
those extra fries or cookies. Stay healthy and avoid the dreaded extra "Freshman 15" pounds by sticking to a
balanced diet.
20. Learn to cope with homesickness. It's only natural that there will be times when you miss
your family, even if you were one of those kids who couldn't wait to get away. Find a way to deal with those
feelings, such as making a phone call or sending some email home.
21. Stay on campus as much as possible. Whether it's homesickness, a job, or a boyfriend or
girlfriend from home, try not to leave campus too soon or too often. The more time you spend on getting to
know the campus and your new friends, the more you'll feel at home at school. And why not take advantage of
all the cultural and social events that happen on campus?
22. Seek professional help when you need it. Most colleges have health and counseling centers.
If you're sick or feeling isolated or depressed, please take advantage of the many services these offices
provide students. You don't have to face these issues by yourself.
23. Keep track of your money. If you've never had to create a budget, now is the time to do so.
Find ways to stretch your money - and as best you can, avoid all those credit card solicitations you'll soon be
receiving. The average credit card debt of college grads is staggering.
24. Don't cut corners. College is all about learning. If you procrastinate and cram, you may
still do well on tests, but you'll learn very little. Even worse, don't cheat on term papers or tests.
25. Be prepared to feel overwhelmed. There's a lot going in your life right now. Expect to
have moments where it seems a bit too much. As one student says, be prepared to feel completely unprepared.
The trick is knowing that you're not the only one feeling that way.
Final Words of Advice
You've done all the prep work -- you've gotten good grades in high school, scored well on a standardized
test, and been accepted into the college you want to attend -- so enjoy all your hard work while laying the
groundwork for a successful college career.  Take advantage of your network of new friends and professors, have fun while learning as
much as you can, and get the most out of your college experience.

Ministry supplies furniture to second-cycle schools
The government, through the Ministry of Education, has procured 54,445 metal bunk beds, 108,890 mattresses and 36,240 staff common room chairs for distribution to selected senior high schools (SHSs) across the country.
The items will be distributed to beef up the furniture supply in senior high, technical, vocational and agricultural schools.
Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Head of Communications at the Free SHS Secretariat, Mrs Josberta Gyan Kwakye, explained that the choice of metal, instead of wood, for beds in recent times was to fight bed bug infestation in second-cycle schools.
She said beyond that, the Ministry of Education was embarking on routine fumigation in schools to fight the bed bug menace.
Beneficiary schools
The beneficiary schools are the Ejisuman SHS, Achinakrom SHS, Sakafia Islamic SHS, Oppong Memorial SHS, Gyaama Pensan SHTS, Dadease Agric SHS, Bechem Presby SHS, Odumaseman SHS, Bole SHS, Walewale SHS, Bawku SHTS, Sandema SHTS, Three Town SHS, Aveyime-Battor SHS, Vakpo SHS, Have Technical Institute, Half Assini SHS, among others.
Additionally, procurement activities have started for the distribution of 214,050 mono desks and they are expected to be completed by January 2020.
Expansion works
Mrs Gyan Kwakye indicated that the government had, since the implementation of the free SHS programme, started the construction of over 804 facilities in 669 second-cycle schools to expand facilities in the various SHSs.
“The projects are at various levels of completion,” she said, adding that some of them had since been completed and handed over to the respective schools.
Projects
She explained that the completed projects included a girls’ dormitory for the Bawku SHTS in the Upper East Region, a 12-unit classroom block for the Adanwomase SHS, a 12-unit classroom block for the St Thomas Aquinas SHS, a 12-unit classroom block for the Kumasi Anglican SHS and a dormitory block for the Juaben SHS.
Mrs Gyan Kwakye further indicated that the government had also released funds for the completion of all old GETFund projects in the schools, adding that over 804 new projects had also been initiated.
Background
In 2018, the Ministry of Education procured and distributed 96,413 mono desks, 32,171 dining hall tables and chairs, 12,953 bunk beds, 3,038 staff tables and chairs, white marker boards, science laboratory stools and other accessories to schools nationwide.
Since the implementation of the flagship programme, the government has received a lot of backlash from sections of the public and the media over reported cases of congestion and inadequate supply of furniture in some SHSs.
The government, subsequently, put in place measures to mitigate the challenges that confronted the implementation of the laudable programme.

Mismanaged waste is waste that is not properly disposed of i.e., there isn’t a formally managed waste management system. Highly populated China tops the rank of countries whose mismanaged plastic waste goes into the Oceans, but the US also featured in the top 20 and contributed a higher rate of waste per person (Jambeck et al, 2015)


Dog the Bounty Hunter was driven to suicidal thoughts after death of beloved wife Beth
The famous bounty hunter and reality TV star, whose real name is Duane Chapman, lost his wife to throat cancer in June this year
by Vicki Newman, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/vicki-newman/Dog the Bounty Hunter says he was left contemplating suicide after the death of his beloved wife Beth.
The famous bounty hunter and reality TV star - real name Duane Chapman - was devastated when he lost his wife to throat cancer in June this year.
Dog has admitted he wondered what would happen if he killed himself.
He was seen talking about having the thoughts on Wednesday night's episode of his show Dog's Most Wanted.
He said: "I just hope that I don't live very much longer without her."
The scenes were filmed less than 12 hours after Beth's tragic death.
He fought back tears as he said: "I feel like if I did something to myself right now and passed away, suicidal, and I got to heaven, I'd go, 'Hi, honey!' and she'd be like, would she go, 'You dumb ass, why did you do that?' or would she go, 'Wow, you're here!'"
Sources close to the star tell TMZ his dark thoughts have inspired him to encourage others feeling a similar way to seek help.
Dog recently paid tribute to Beth on what would have been her 52nd birthday.
It's reported he spent the day by himself crying and looking at old photos of her.
He was so heartbroken when she died that he was rushed to hospital with severe chest pains.
The couple married in 2006, and they had two children together, Bonnie and Garry.
Dog also adopted Beth's daughter Cecily.
On June 26th, Dog announced Beth's passing with the tweet: "It’s 5:32 in Hawaii, this is the time she would wake up to go hike Koko Head mountain.
"Only today, she hiked the stairway to heaven. We all love you, Beth. See you on the other side."

About Me
Designer / Programmer / Lifelong Learner
<<<<<<< HEAD:_site/en/about.html虽然在各种面试场合下我都坚持自己是一个交互设计师，专注在用户体验领域。但由于各种现实情况，我已经朝着全栈设计师的方向前进。所以在简历中或者自我介绍中，我取消了 我是交互设计师 这样的自称 ，精简为 我是设计师 。
交互设计（UE/UX）和用户界面设计（UI）密不可分，都是用户体验设计的一部分。也就是说，交互设计和用户界面设计在整个产品生命周期中是相辅相承不可或缺的。大部分我接触过的人都说“我理解”。但在实际工作流程中，又有很多人模糊了交互设计和用户界面设计的工作性质，或者说，很多人认为“交互设计是在产品从0到1的设计阶段才需要的暂时性角色，当一个产品进入迭代阶段就不需要交互设计了。“
我选择用户体验设计的初衷，是 希望能够了解到我的设计给用户的感受和影响，这不止需要在产品设计前期对用户旅程、使用场景和用户画像的研究，还需要在产品后期追踪用户行为、分析用户数据以及获知用户反馈。我认为 有反馈的设计才是真正的设计。
非常幸运的是，在职业发展的道路上遇到了很多人，愿意给我机会尝试想法，让我学习到这么多技能，参与了很多创新项目。这些经历和锻炼都帮助了我成为一个合格的设计师 —— 能够独立完成调研、设计、数据分析和获取用户反馈并不断改进的设计师。
世界的变化如此之快，如果我们把自己限定在一个固定的角色里，总有一天会被世界抛弃。在此，我想引用安迪·格鲁夫的一句话作为结束，谢谢你看到这里。
我一直都认为。每个人，无论他是职员还是个体户，都像一个独立的生意人。 你的责任就是保护你的生意免受伤害，让自己处在可以从工作环境的改变中受益的境地。
– 只有偏执狂才能生存 , Andrew Stephen Grove
=======Although I insist I am an interaction designer focusing on UX field in various interview occasions. However, due to various realities, I have been moving towards the direction of a full-stack designer. Therefore, in my resume or self-introduction, I have eliminated the self-description I am an interaction designer and streamlined it to I am a designer.
Interaction design (UE/UX) and user interface design (UI) are inextricably linked and both are part of user experience design. In other words, interaction design and UI design are complementary and integral to each other throughout the product lifecycle. Most of the people I have contacted say “I understand”. But in the actual workflow, there is a lot of blurring of the nature of interaction design and user interface design, or a lot of people think “interaction design is a temporary role that is only needed during the design phase of a product from 0 to 1, and is not needed when a product enters the iteration phase. ”
I chose UX design because I wanted to understand the feeling and impact of my design on users, which requires not only researching user journeys, usage scenarios and user profiles in the early stage of product design, but also tracking user behavior, analyzing user data and getting user feedback in the later stage of the product. I think design with feedback is the real design.
I was very fortunate to have met many people along my career path who were willing to give me the opportunity to try out ideas, allowing me to learn so many skills and participate in many innovative projects. All these experiences and exercises have helped me to become a qualified designer - one who can do research, design, data analysis and get user feedback independently and continuously improve.
The world is changing so fast that if we confine ourselves to a fixed role, we will be left behind by the world one day. I would like to end here with a quote from Andy Grove, thank you for reading this.
I have long held that each person, whether he is an employee or self-employed, is like an individual business. Your career is literally your business, and you are its CEO. Just like the CEO of a large corporation, you must respond to market forces, head off competitors, take advantage of complementors and be alert to the possibility that what you are doing can be done in a different way. It is your responsibility to protect your career from harm and to position yourself to benefit from changes in the operating environment.

URN: urn:xml3d:light:point
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| position | float3 | 0 0 0 | The position of the point light in object space |
| attenuation | float3 | 0 0 1 | The attenuation of the point light given as its constant, linear, e.g quadratic component. |
| intensity | float3 | 1 1 1 | The RGB intensity of the point light. |
Point light sources emit light from a single point in space with a uniform distribution in all directions, i.e. omnidirectional. The position of the point light is defined by its position attribute and affected by the transformation of the light element that defines the occurrence of the point light. The orientation of the light element is not influencing the light.
URN: urn:xml3d:light:directional
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| direction | float3 | 0 0 -1 | The direction of the light in object space. |
| intensity | float3 | 1 1 1 | The RGB intensity of the point light. |
Directional light sources, also known as distant light sources, emit light along parallel rays from an infinite distance away. The direction the light sources emits from is defined by its direction attribute and affected by the transformation of the light element that defines the occurrence of the distant light. The position of the light element is not taken into account.
URN: urn:xml3d:light:spot
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| position | float3 | 0 0 0 | The position of the point light in object space |
| direction | float3 | 0 0 -1 | The direction of the light in object space. |
| intensity | float3 | 1 1 1 | The RGB intensity of the directional light. |
| attenuation | float3 | 0 0 1 | The attenuation of the point light given as its constant, linear, e.g quadratic component. |
| falloffAngle | float | Math.PI/4 | Spot angle in radians. Controls the size of the outer cone of a spot light, i.e. the circular area a spot light covers. |
| softness | float | 0 | Softness of the spot light in the range [0;1]. |
Spot light source are a variation of point lights: Instead of emitting light omnidirectional, they emit light from their position in a cone of direction. The fallOffAngle attribute defines the size of the cone. Objects outside the cone defined by the fallOffAngle are not lit by the light source. The softness attribute defines the percentage of the cone in which the illumination ramps down from full to no illumination, i.e. a softness of 0 specifies a hard transition between full to no illumination and a softness of 1.0 a linear transition along the radius of the cone.
Data elements are the non-leaf nodes of an Xflow graph. They may contain any combination of data elements and value elements. They may also reference
other data elements through the src
attribute using a standard HTML URI.
The ultimate function of a graph of data elements is to provide data to a "sink". Some data sinks in XML3D include the mesh
element, the
material
element and the projection
attribute of the
view
element.
The ability to reference data elements makes it possible to share a common set of data between many different sinks. This saves memory and increases performance, as the data is also shared internally whenever possible. For example, a set of vertex positions may be shared between many instances of the same mesh using a different set of face indices each time. Internally these meshes will also share a common WebGL vertex position buffer:
<data id="shared_positions"> <float3 name="position"> 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.0 ... </float3> </data> <mesh> <data src="#shared_positions"></data> <int name="index"> 0 1 2 3 4 5 ... </int> </mesh> <mesh> <data src="#shared_positions"></data> <int name="index"> 3 4 5 0 1 2 ... </int> </mesh>
Value elements are the leaf nodes of an Xflow graph. They may not be nested and may not contain any non-text child elements. Data should be provided as a text node containing a space-separated list of values. The tag name determines how this data is interpreted:
<bool>1 0 0</bool> // an array of three boolean values <float3>1 0 0</float3> // a single three-dimensional floating point vector
The name
attribute of a value element acts as an ID for the data contained in this element. It may be referenced in XFlow operators or
in material shaders. If two value elements with the same name are present in an XFlow data graph then the value nearest the top will replace any value
nested deeper within the graph.
In this example the value of the color
field will be 1.0 0.0 0.0
when referencing #my-data
.
<data id="my-data"> <float3 name="color">1.0 0.0 0.0</float3> <data> <float3 name="color">1.0 1.0 1.0</float3> </data> </data>
Interactive elements are those which are able to receive mouse event listeners. The list of available mouse event listeners is described in the Events section.
In order to receive a mouse event an element must have a renderable object somewhere in its subtree for the user to interact with. When the user
interacts with this object (eg. clicks on it) the relevant MouseEvent will be generated on the mesh
or
model
element and then bubbled up the scene hierarchy. This will continue until the event reaches the
xml3d
element, or until event.stopPropagation()
is called.
In the following example, when clicking on the object in the scene corresponding to this mesh
element,
both listeners will be triggered in the appropriate order:
<group onmousedown="myMouseDownListener(event)"> <group> <mesh onmouseup="myMouseUpListener(event)" type="triangles"></mesh> </group> </group>
xml3d
elementgroup
elementview
elementlight
elementThe light element defines a light source in the scene that emits light based on the light model defined by the model attribute. The light uses the generic data model to define the parameters of the referenced material model. The coordinate system of the light element defines the base coordinate system for the light. However, the final position and direction of the light source can altered by specific parameters of the light model.
A light affects all geometry elements within the same scene, i.e. with the same xml3d element as ancestor.
The light model used by the light is defined by the model attribute.
If the model
attribute is present, it must contain a valid non-empty URN referencing one of the predefined light models.
If the URN is empty or references an unknown light model, or if the model
attribute is not present, the directional light model is used.
This example illustrates the use of a single light source based on the predefined directional light model using its default parameters:
<light></light>Since no direction for the light source is specified for the light source, the default direction
0 0 -1
(along the negative z axis) is transformed by the global
coordinate system of the light element.
This example illustrates the use of a single light source based on the predefined point light model:
<light model="urn:xml3d:light:point"> <float3 name="intensity">0.8 0.8 1</float3> </light>
model
IDL attribute must reflect the model content attribute.mesh
elementmodel
elementdefs
elementmaterial
elementA material describes the surface shading of an object. Materials are defined using a material element and then referenced by the material property on a given scene element to indicate that the given element shall be shaded using the referenced material. Multiple scene elements can share a material. The material uses the generic data model to define the parameters of the referenced material model. Note that graphics elements can override the parameters defined in the material element. Hence, the parameters in the material element can be considered as default materials.
The material model used by the material is defined by the script attribute.
The script
attribute must be present, and must contain a valid non-empty URL referencing either a predefined material model or
a scripted material model, e.g. using shade.js.
Here is a simple example for a material based on the predefined phong material model:
<material script="urn:xml3d:shader:phong"> <float3 name="diffuseColor">0 0 1</float3> <texture name="diffuseTexture"> <img src="../stone.jpg"/> </texture> </material>

Lindisfarne drummer's cheeky response to Liam Gallagher's Fog on the Tyne tweet
The former Oasis frontman is playing at Newcastle's Utilita Arena on Sunday night
by Katie CollingsThe drummer of North East band Lindisfarne had a cheeky response to Liam Gallagher's tweet ahead of his Newcastle gig.
The former Oasis frontman will take to the stage at the Utilita Arena on Sunday evening and told fans he was looking forward to it.
He tweeted: "The fog on the Tyne is all mine all mine c’mon you know LG x" - quoting Lindisfarne's most famous tune.
The band's founding member and drummer Ray Laidlaw had fans laughing as he replied: "No it's not."
One Twitter user said: "Get him telt Ray son".
Ray, who played with the band on and off between 1968 and 2003, is also heavily involved in events such as Sunday for Sammy and Christmas at the Cathedral for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.
Liam has yet to respond to Ray's Tweet.
The star is touring his second solo album Why Me? Why Not which follows 2017's As You Were, which led to sell-out shows.
Liam Gallagher and support acts will kick off his 2020 tour at Newcastle Utilita Area from 7pm on Sunday November 17.

Lesson 2: Plots and Dashboards¶
This exercise will require you to use the data named penguins that you can find on the google drive here.
Exercise 1: Loading in the data¶
1. Load in the penguin.csv
data.
How many geographical columns are there?
How many Measures are there?
How many continuous columns?
Are any columns generated by Tableau?
Are there any date fields?
Note: There are no “unique” Identifying columns in this dataframe, so when we are using the count statistic you can use the Count (Not Count distinct) measure of the column you can assess.
Exercise 2: Basic plots¶
1. Are there any columns that would be appropriate for a pie chart?
2. Create a new worksheet and create a Stacked bar chart from the Species
column.
3. Is it easy to see the quantity value of each of the penguin species?
4. Convert the stacked bar plot into a side-by-side bar plot.
Sort the bars in descending order
Add a colour to each species if you want to. 5. Open a new worksheet and create a scatterplot between the
Body Mass (g)
andflipper Length
fields.Change the mark style to a circle and decrease the point size.
Add the species field to the colour channel.
What kind of relationship did you identify?
Which penguin species tend to have the greatest flipper length?
6. Create a line graph that shows the number of egg clutches over the research period.
Does the field appear to have a cyclical component? If so, how long is 1 cycle approximately?
7. Give all the plots that you made in this exercise appropriate titles and axis names. Change the colours to something you’d prefer.
Exercise 3: Creating Distributions¶
1. Create a histogram for the Culmen Length (mm)
field.
Change the size of the bins to 1.
What type of shape does it have? (uniform, bell?)
How many “peaks” does it have?
Add the species dimension to both the Columns shelf and the colour channel. Which species tends to have the shortest culmen lengths?
2. Create a histogram for the Culmen Depth (mm)
column now.
Change the size of the bins to 0.5 now.
What is the range of values?
Add the species dimension to both the Columns shelf and the colour channel. Which species tends to have the most shallow culmens?
3. Now let’s try and compare the bodyweight distributions between the penguin sexes using a box plot. Exclude the observation that has an unmarked value by right-clicking it and selecting Hide.
Are there any outliers displayed as marks on the boxplots?
Sort the boxplots in descending order by the median.
Which sex has the higher median body mass?
4. Create a new worksheet and let’s create a heatmap between the Island
and Species
columns.
Which island has only 1 species inhabiting it?
Which species is only inhabiting on a single island?
Add the count of the penguins as a label to each mark.
How many Gentoo penguins are on Biscoe island?
5. Give all the plots that you made in this exercise appropriate titles and axis names. Change the colours to something you’d prefer.
Exercise 4: Creating Dashboards (Optional - Only complete if you’ve skipped ahead to Lesson 3)¶
1. Create a new Dashboard page.
2. Convert Dashboard Size to automatic.
3. From the google drive, download this image and add it to your dashboard. I recommend to “fit the image” to the outline.
4. Add the scatterplot,the heatmap and both of the histograms to your dashboard.
5. Create a sex filters for the scatterplot that is in the style of dropdown and you can select multiple categories. - Adjust this filter so it works for all the plots.
6. Create a bodymass filter, that only works on the 2 histograms.
7. Create a text box with your Dashboard title and have it “Float” over the image.

I just bought emonTH sensor node from OEM shop. I have working Raspi/HDD platform with Jeelink connected via USB and receiving data from EmonTX via RFM as well as from another node based on Arduino YUN via Ethernet. Everything works great, network ID is set to 210 and current nodes are 20 and 21. I put batteries into my new emonTH, LED shows, sensor is detected (DHT), but nothning happens then. No data are received by base station, no new inputs from NODE 19 (expected Node ID of emonTH). I tried to connect Arduino IDE via FTDI cable and debugging via serial monitor shows, temperature, humidity as well as battery voltage is meassured properly and sent to sermon. Also group ID and NODE ID are confirmed as correct (210 and 19). I tried to upload new sketch to emonTH via Arduino IDE, but nothing is changed. Everything works great except of data from emonTH are not received by base station. Any idea what could be wrong?
Interesting is, at my EmonTX I have to set beside of NODE ID and Network ID also gateway ID (node to be sent data to). But in settings of emonTH I didnt find possibility to setup gateway ID. Couldnt be just this issue? Isnt emonTH sending data to another gateway than to my current basestation ID 15?

Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
Did you buy the version with the correct radio frequency for your existing set-up? Is it within radio range of the base? If you change your emonTx to Node 19, does that still work?
I do not understand what you mean by Network ID and gateway ID in the emonTx. In the JeeLIb protocol, there is space for either the address of the sending node or the address of the receiving node, not both. We choose to use only the address of the receiving node, as we consider the source of the data to be important. Therefore, all receiving nodes receive all the data from transmitting nodes within range. They may choose which data to act on. For example the "multinode" Nanode base sketch chooses to forward each message it receives tagged with the number of the transmitting node. The emonGLCD receives energy data from the emonTx and time data from the emonBase, and handles the data according to its source node number.
I think you will find that, unless you have added these two items to the message payload and are using them for your own purposes, Network ID and gateway ID are not being used.
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
Yes, sure, I have correct frequency 433 MHz at all of my nodes, including emonTH.
I have changed NODE IDs of my emonTX, 10,19 and current 20. All of them work without problems and corresponding NODE ID is shown at EMONCMS Input page.
My emonTX is based on Arduino Due and related modification of Emonlib from boredman available here:
http://boredomprojects.net/index.php/projects/home-energy-monitor
https://github.com/icboredman/EmonLib/tree/feature/12bit_3phase
If you look into related Arduino Due sketch:
http://boredomprojects.net/images/Articles/HomeEnergy/EmonTxDue.zip
you can see there at rows 8-11 definitions of NODE ID (sender), Networks (group) ID and gateway ID (receiver). Juts for this am I asking my question regarding "gateway ID". When I change Gateway ID to another one, then base station NODE ID is, there receiving od data via jeelini is stopped.
But lets forget my emonTX for now. Im receiving data into basestation via jeelink/USB port. I can check received data via serial monitor in Arduino IDE. Each data set is represented by row of integers. But no data are coming from emonTh. Thats the matter.
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
If your base receives data from your emonTx when you set that to Node 19, it proves that the base will receive and decode Node 19. Therefore, I suspect that the RFM12B module in your emonTH is not transmitting, or is transmitting weakly. One final check: is the RFM12B module the correct one? (I know you bought the emonTH as a 433 MHz version). Photos to identify the version are here.
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
I think, I have isolated my problem. emonTH works OK, problem is another:
Part of my nodes is using library RF12 (or RFu_RF12) and rest is using library RFM12B (or RFM12B_Due from boredman). Nodes using one kind of library (RF12) are comunicating to each other properly, as well as other group of nodes (RFM12B) are comunicating to each other without problems. BUT - node from one group is unable to communicate with node from other group. It seems to me, that there is some incompatibility between libraries RF12 and RFM12B. Does anybody has a experience with this and how to push nodes with different libraries to communicate to each other?
Radek
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
You did not mention that you were using a library that is not our standard!
I think you are going to have to do some work on the libraries. It seems that your Boredman library has been derived from JeeLib with some changes specific to that hardware and it seems likely that the message format has changed. A similar thing has happened with the RFµ_JeeLib library to remove the lock-up problem that affects the RFµ-328, although in that case the message format remains identical.
The approach I would take is to find out the differences between the parent JeeLib library and the two child libraries, then incorporate the modifications of one child into the other. Which way to do this depends on what the differences are.
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
Yes, you are completely right. Boredman has used not Jeelabs clone, but Lowpowerlabs clone of RF12 library instead, which does implement some new features (for example 127 possible nodes instead of 31) but it lost backward compatibility due another packer header structure. To be honest, I dont understand, why boredman has used this "not OEM standard" of RF12 library for his modification to port in on Arduino Due. And to be honest twice, till last week I didn't know, that there are two incompatible clones of this library. :-)
So situation now is, I have two parts of my RF12 based network and one part is not communication with other one. OK, Im going to study differencies in detail and I have to decide, which one of these two RF12 lib will be my new standard. As I have tendency to respect standards, I do prefer OEM standard, but before I make my final decision, I have to check, whether or not is "boredmans" library better and why he used just this clone even if he went incompatible way.
Radek
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
It it is any help, there's a comment in emonlib.cpp that reads "modified to use up to 12 bits ADC resolution (ex. Arduino Due) by<EMAIL_ADDRESS>26.12.2013"
So an email asking about the changes might be helpful.
Re: New emonTH doesnt transmitting data to basestation
Thanks for your tip, I'm in touch with boredman already for a longer period, but no progress. To be quite honest, using of Arduino Due based on my experience, seems to be a step in wrong direction. 12 bit resolution is fine, but I got very comparable results with Arduino Mega with just 10 bit res, but with more analogue inputs. From my perspective, based on my current experience, Due is too powerfull for this task and its 32 CPU brings more of disadvantages (incompatibilities) than advantages. Mega fits perfectly all the needs. For limited scope (just 6 inputs with 10 bit resolution) it seems to me to be perfect platform Arduino Yun. You dont need to setup any RF link, you just send data via onboard wifi. And when you use Arduino Mega as an input expander for Yun and you connect both boards via UART wires, you dont need more. At least I think so.


DWR provides support for Guice dependency injection in DWR-based web applications. This documentation assumes you already understand Guice concepts. The DWR-Guice integration is maintained by Tim Peierls.
To use this support minimally,
DwrGuiceServletContextListener
as a <listener>
in your web application's configuration
file (web.xml
), DwrGuiceServlet
for all
requests to /dwr/*
. <listener> <listener-class>org.myorg.myproj.MyServletContextListener</listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>dwr-invoker</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.directwebremoting.guice.DwrGuiceServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>dwr-invoker</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/dwr/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
DwrGuiceServletContextListener
is also an abstract Guice module; it extends
AbstractDwrModule
,
which in turn extends Guice's AbstractModule
.
Your listener class must define
configure
;
this is where you do your Guice binding.
You can also put binding code in a separate class or classes with
AbstractModule.install
.
Use GuiceCreator
when annotating classes with RemoteProxy
. When you use a
GuiceCreator
to create your remoted objects, it gets an
instance from a Guice injector using your bindings.
For bind-time control over how JavaScript names map to Java targets, use the
bindRemoted
or
bindRemotedAs
methods. The target of the script can be an abstract class or interface
bound in the normal Guice way to a concrete class, instance, or provider.
In that case only the methods defined on the abstract class or
interface are accessible, even if the implementing class has other public
methods. You can supply different bindings for different script names, including
using the same interface with different implementations for different script names,
or different interfaces for different script names mapping to the same implementation
type (assuming it implements both interfaces).
You can bind a type or type pattern string to a custom converter with
bindConversion
,
and you can put Ajax filters on scripts with
bindFilter
.
Note, however, that you can achieve the same effect (and more flexibly) using Guice's
bindInterceptors
method.
You can install your own DWR configurator using
bind(Configurator.class).toInstance(yourConfigurator)
,
which then overrides any dwr.xml
configuration.
You'll probably want to use a
FluentConfigurator
for this purpose.
You can still configure DWR's settings normally via <init-param>
directives in web.xml
, but usually there is no need to. Most DWR
settings can be set with
bindParameter
.
The ParamName
enum type lists the available parameters.
To be able to use the DWR scopes for all your injected objects, not just
DWR-remoted objects, your binding code should call
bindDwrScopes
at some point.
For creating your own scopes where the instance injected depends on some
run-time value, create a concrete extension of
AbstractContextScope
.
This example illustrates two ways to define remoted objects,
calling bindRemotedAs
and annotating with @RemoteProxy
;
two ways to define conversions, using bindConversion
and using a custom configurator; how to register annotated classes
at bind-time; how to bind a script name to an AjaxFilter
; and
how to set a DWR parameter (debug, in this case) at bind-time.
It does not use an <init-param>
directive, and it doesn't have
a dwr.xml
.
public final class MyServletContextListener extends DwrGuiceServletContextListener { protected void configure() { bindRemotedAs("Hello", HelloService.class) .to(HelloServiceImpl.class) .in(DwrScopes.APPLICATION); bindFilter("Hello") .to(TraceFilter.class); bind(MessageService.class) .to(MessageServiceImpl.class) .in(DwrScopes.SCRIPT); bindAnnotatedClasses( DomainService.class, // @RemoteProxy(creator=GuiceCreator.class)/@RemoteMethod HelloRecordImpl.class // @DataTransferObject/@RemoteProperty ); // When converting HelloRecord, use existing converter for HelloRecordImpl. bindConversion(HelloRecord.class, HelloRecordImpl.class); bindConversion(DateTime.class) .toInstance(DateTimeConverter.get("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm a")); bind(Configurator.class).toInstance(new FluentConfigurator() { public void configure() { String localTime = "localTime"; withConverterType(localTime, DateTimeConverter.class.getName()); withConverter(localTime, LocalTime.class.getName()) .addParam("format", "yyyy-MM-dd"); } }); bindParameter(DEBUG).to(true); bindDwrScopes(); } }
Note that because application scope is larger than script session scope,
HelloServiceImpl
has an injected constructor (not shown here)
that takes a Provider<MessageService>
rather than a plain
MessageService
.
There are four classes with names that start with "Internal". These classes have to be public with a parameterless constructor so the non-Guicy DWR machinery can create them. They are not meant to be used directly.
The classes that handle DWR scopes are modeled on the classes in the
com.google.inject.servlet
package, but are independent of them.
You do not need to install the Guice ServletModule
and
GuiceFilter
to use the DWR scopes, but if you do, you have to be
careful to install the DWR scopes without creating conflicting bindings
for request, response, and session. Calling
bindDwrScopes(false)
accomplishes this.
Further information on using DWR and Guice together is available in the Guice JavaDoc, or from Tim's blog:

A project of the Knowledge Systems Group, UT-Austin
The goal of Project Halo is to create a Digital Aristotle - a Knowledge System capable of answering hard, novel questions and solving advanced problems in a broad range of scientific disciplines.
Project Halo is sponsored and managed by Vulcan, Inc. Vulcan has a nice website that describes the long-term goals of the project and provides a browser for viewing the results of the first phase of the Project ("the Pilot").
The Halo Pilot produced an important data point for the field of knowledge systems. It proved that knowledge systems can be built quickly, using off-the-shelf technologies, and they can perform very well on novel, hard questions. Here's what the Halo Pilot taught us.
As part of the SRI team, we're now in Phase II of Project Halo, which focuses on developing and testing a suite of tools to enable Subject Matter Experts (chemists, physicists and biologists, in particular) to build knowledge systems unassisted by knowledge engineers. The goals are closely aligned with those of DARPA's Rapid Knowledge Formation project (2000-2004), in which we were key participants.

title: Host Virtual - Cloud servers at a great price link: http://www.flamelily.co.uk/2012/03/host-virtual-cloud-servers-at-a-great-price/ author: admin description: post_id: 259 created: 2012/03/07 14:00:32 created_gmt: 2012/03/07 14:00:32 comment_status: open post_name: host-virtual-cloud-servers-at-a-great-price status: publish post_type: post
Host Virtual are a popular virtual machine provider with a great support team. But what I find is their biggest selling point is their shear number of OS images they have ready for you to deploy. They have over 25 Linux distributions and over 150 base images to use. They have some great VOIP images including Pbxinaflash, Trixbox and Freepbx. Also they have things like FreeBSD, ArchLinux and Slackware. Of course they have many selections within all these distributions. Their pricing is good and they have a London based datacentre. Click on the image below to see what they offer.


Inside a gradle root project you have got at least
I preferred the temporary project approach but I didn't like the manual work to create links etc... So what about having this been done automatically?
This is exact what the so called "Virtual root project" does: By clicking a button inside the EGradle toolbar you are able to (re-)create a "Virtual root project" of your current set gradle root project. The virtual root project will contain all folders and files of gradle root project folder being not already imported as an eclipse project into current workspace.
Inside a simple build file we apply the gradle eclipse plugin to all sub projects:
The both projects were already imported into eclipse workspace:
After clicking the red marked toolbar button the virtual root project shows up. It contains NOT the both already imported projects but only the missing stuff:
If you delete e.g. "testproject1" (without content delete!) and press the toolbar button again, the "testproject1" sub folder will be shown again inside the virtual root project.
When you add a new file or folder to the base folder of the virtual root project - as shown in next image - the folder/file will NOT be created to the virtual project but inside the original gradle root project folder (this ensures you do not accidently add/commit something from virtual root project)
The virtual root project contains only a link to origin file/folder. Inside the linked folders new created files/folders will be simply created in link target and shown as normal files.e
EGradle is aware of your delete attempt and will support you to delete the file in real root folder too. A dialog ask you about the deletion:
Just press
Yes
button and the file is deleted
A simple click to the button does recreate it again from
scratch. At doing this current already opened/imported gradle projects
are recognized again.
The button is only enabled when the current gradle root project is a multi project.
(If there occurs an errror on virtual root project creation - e.g. "cannot create link to ..." please simply press the button again. The problem is well known but currently not fixed)
| If your team provider does not automatically connect the project to your SCM you have to connect it again. |
Simply exclude folder ".egradle" from your source versioning
On virtual root project you got popup actions. Contains same as on toolbar and some additionals.
Note: .gitignore is not visible at all in virtual root project

Samsung Android 10 update roadmap revealed in the Philippines
by Marco LancasterRate this post
Following the release of a stable Android 10 update for the Galaxy S10, Samsung started to disclose details about its update roadmap. The company revealed its Android 10 update roadmap for Israel and followed up by detailing its schedule for the Chinese and Indian markets. Now, the company is sharing some light about its update schedule for Galaxy smartphones in the Philippines.
According to the report, Samsung will release Android 10 with One UI 2.0 for the Galaxy M20 and Galaxy S10 trio in January 2020. If you have been following S10 news, you’ll know that the update is already rolling out. For that reason, we believe that it may reach some Filipino units sooner than what Samsung is saying.
In February 2020, the South-Korean giant will seed Android 10 for a total of seven devices, which include the Galaxy S9, S9+, Note9, Note10, Note10+, A30, and M30. The report doesn’t give any specific order, but surely it will reach the Note 10 series first. The One UI 2.0 beta program is running smoothly in the premium phablet series. Once that all bugs are fixed, the Korean firm will deploy the stable update.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
t is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.  Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

Alibaba poised to launch record-breaking US$15 billion HK share sale: sources
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group is poised to launch a Hong Kong share sale expected to raise up to US$15 billion as soon as Thursday, according to two sources with knowledge of the discussions.
HONG KONG: Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group is poised to launch a Hong Kong share sale expected to raise up to US$15 billion as soon as Thursday, according to two sources with knowledge of the discussions.
While Alibaba executives are preparing for a Thursday launch, sources said the timing could slip depending on developments in Hong Kong's ongoing protests.
The deal - the world's biggest cross-border secondary listing - will be seen as a boost for Hong Kong, which recently entered its first recession in a decade as more than five months of street protests and worries about the U.S.-China trade war take their toll.
Alibaba did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company had been planning to sell the shares earlier this year but in August postponed the deal as the protests rocking Hong Kong since June became increasingly violent.

Functional Programming and OOP
April 20th, 2014
If you are learning programming, you probably have more or less heard about the programming schools of thought for Functional vs. Object Oriented styles.
Functional programming is a coding style that emphasizes functions to produce results that depend only on their inputs and not on the program state (i.e. think calculator math). True functional programming does not change program 'state', or in other words makes the output mutable when run multiple times, although the input may remain the same. Because of this, it is much easier to understand and predict the behavior of a program. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming.
In contrast, object-oriented programming (OOP) was designed to support imperative (procedural) programming. Typical OOP tends to emphasize change of state in objects, imposes coupling between layers hindering modularization, and mixes the concepts of identity and state. What this means is that OOP code can tend to be less reusable than FP code.
Programming languages out there have differences in supporting one style more than the other, but in general it can be assumed that both style paradigms can be supported. For example, although Ruby is generally used as an OOP language, one can still take a functional approach when using it.
Functional Programming Benefits:
- Cleaner code - variables are not modified after defined, making code easier to follow
- Referential transparency - if a function is called with the same parameters, it is certain that the output will always be the same (there is no state that would change it).
- Modularization - the program is more modular, thus promoting bottom-up programming.
- Ease of test/debugging - Functions are isolated with transparency of input vs output, so it is easier to test and debug.
Here are some best practices for functional programming with examples. This is by no means an exhaustive list of best practices. However, a common theme/rule of thumb that I have find useful to remember is that it's better to NOT be destructive and NOT reuse existing variables.
- Don't update variables, just create new ones
- Don't append to arrays or strings or update hashes
- Avoid destructive bang(!) methods
- Don't reuse variables Bad:
Instead of doing this:
array.push(4)
# array = [1,2,3,4] as a result
n_array = array + [4]
OR in the scenario of altering a hash, instead of doing this:
hash[:c] = 3
# hash = {:a => 1, b => 2, :c => 3}
new_hash = hash.merge(:c => 3)
celsius = celsius.to_i
To sum up, the functional programming approach provides quite a few benefits. You can express more with less compact code, the code is more reusable due from being able to abstract and reduce complexity of generic patterns, and it is more declarative and easier to follow than OOP. When coding in Ruby, it's good to be aware of these benefits and wisely choose when to take an FP approach versus a classic OOP approach.
