Module 3: The Reverse Mode of Automatic Differentiation¶
So far we have considered one mode of automatic differentiation, forward mode. In forward mode, we carried derivatives along as we traversed the graph so that the graph itself did not need to be explicitly stored in memory. In reverse mode, we build the graph and store partial derivative information at each node but do not compute the full derivative with the chain rule until the backward pass of the graph. We will see that this approach can have computational advantages over forward mode and hence is commonly used, most well known in the backpropagation algorithm.
The Basics of Reverse Mode¶
As in forward mode, reverse mode still relies on the underlying computational graph structure of functions. As we will see using the visualization tool, the same graph can be used for forward and reverse mode, but just the direction that derivative information is propagated changes. Recall that in forward mode we passed derivative information forward to store the derivative at each node.
In reverse mode, instead of storing full derivative information at each node, only the partial derivatives of nodes relative to its children are stored. For example, if node \(x_3\) has inputs nodes \(x_1\) and \(x_2\), only the partial derivatives \(\frac{\partial x_3}{\partial x_1}\) and \(\frac{\partial x_3}{\partial x_2}\) are stored. (Contrast this with forward mode, where for a function with inputs x and y, this node would store \(\frac{\partial x_3}{\partial x}\) and \(\frac{\partial x_3}{\partial y}\).)
The reverse mode consists of two passes. The forward pass first builds the computational graph while storing just the partial derivative information. The reverse pass then starts at the output node and traverses the graph in the reverse direction to find the full partial derivatives.
We introduce the bar notation to denote our backward pass tangents, \(\bar{x_i} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}\), which are sometimes also called the adjoint variable. At the final node, \(f = x_N\), we have \(\bar{x_N} = \frac{\partial f}{\partial x_N} = 1\). We then traverse backward through the graph to construct the partial derivative from the chain rule. \(\bar{x_{N-1}} = \bar{x_N}\frac{\partial x_N}{\partial x_{N-1}}\). Note that the partial derivative is exactly the value that has already been stored by the forward pass of the graph.
We see that this process is relatively straightforward for nodes with only one child. When we encounter nodes with multiple children, we must perform a summation over the children, which follows directly from the multivariate chain rule.
For \(x_i\) with children \(x_j\) and \(x_k\), we have
Practice with the Visualization Tool¶
Let’s revisit our typical example. As with forward mode, we input the function into the interface in the same way and can compute the function value and derivative, but now we know a little bit about what reverse mode computes. Let’s start with the same example we analyzed for forward mode, \(f(x) = x-\exp(-2\sin(4x)^2)\). Input it into the visualization tool in the same way that you did in the first module.
Let’s focus on the right half of the screen. In the top right, you’ll see a graph that looks very similar to the one produced in forward mode. Notice that the only difference is the direction of the arrows, representing the fact that derivatives are propagated in different directions.
Now let’s dynamically visualize the process of reverse mode. In the bottom right, press the df/dx button. Use the ‘Next’ button to step through the process of reverse mode. At each step you’ll see the edge that the computation traverses being highlighted.
Let’s consider another example but with multiple inputs, \(f(x,y) = xy+\exp(xy)\). Observe that this function also has a branch in its underlying graph structure. This time when dynamically visualizing the reverse mode, you should see that the computation has to trace through both branches to pick up the stored partial derivatives for the computation of the derivatives.
Key Takeaways
Reverse mode and forward mode propagate the derivative in different directions.
The underlying graph structure of the function is the same for both modes of automatic differentiation.
Reverse mode computes derivatives by making a backward pass starting at the output.
More Theory¶
In the previous module, we demonstrated that forward mode computes the Jacobian vector product Jp. (depends on number of input variables)
In contrast, reverse mode computes \(J^Tp\) which is independent of the number of inputs.
This difference can result in different operation counts, accounting for the popularity of the backpropagation algorithm. Backpropagation is a just a special case of the reverse mode of automatic differentiation where the function of which we are interested in taking derivatives is a scalar objective function that represents the error between the output and the true value.
A Comparison of Forward and Reverse Mode¶
As the names suggest, the primary difference between forward and reverse mode is the direciton in which the computational graph is traversed, as we saw in the direction of the errors of the visualization tool. This has implications for the computational efficiency of the two approaches.
As we just showed, reverse mode computes \(J^Tp\), while in module 2, we learned that forward mode computes \(Jp\). This means that reverse mode will be more efficient (require fewer operations) for functions with a fewer number of outputs and many inputs, while forward mode will be more efficient for functions with many outputs and fewer inputs. Let’s consider an example of this.
Demo: A Comparison of Forward and Reverse Mode Let’s consider the function \(f(w_1, w_2, w_3, w_4, w_5) = w_1w_2w_3w_4w_5\). We want to compare the process of computing the partial derivatives in forward and reverse mode at the point (2, 1, 1, 1, 1). Let’s start with using reverse mode, where we do not store the results of the chain rule but just the values of the partial derivatives at each step.

To compute the derivatives, we will now traverse through the graph, picking up the partial derivatives, using our update equations. You can visualize this graph traversal by using the dynamic visualization tool.
In this way traversing the graph backwards, we compute all the partial derivatives. As we learned in the previous unit, we could have used forward mode to compute the same values. We know that we can use the samme graph structure for both directions, so let’s compare the computational table for forward mode.

In this example, we can see why reverse mode is advantageous for many applicaations by couting the operations used to compute the derivatives in each of these directions. To compute the product, both processes require 4 multiplication steps. Let’s consider the operations to compute the partial derivatives.
Reverse mode required a single multiplication step (the product of the two partial derivatives) at nodes 1-8, for a total of 8 operations.
At nodes 6-9 (4 nodes), we use the product rule to compute the derivative (requiring 3 operations, 2 multiplications and 1 addition) for each of the 5 inputs, for a total of \(4\cdot 3 \cdot 5 = 60\) operations
From this example, we see that in cases with many inputs and few outputs, reverse mode is much more computationally efficient than forward mode.
Going Forward¶
In the next unit, we explore an alternate interpretation of automatic differentiation in terms of dual numbers and consider questions of implementation in software.
Other extensions for further reading include automatic differentiation for higher order derivatives, including computing Hessians, and algorithmic differentiation of computer programs. We can also consider the efficiency of the algorithms in terms of memory and efficient graph storage, access, and traversal. Such efficiency may be better achieved in cases where the Jacobian and Hessian are sparse. Other work has explored using a mixture of forward and reverse mode for computations.
Exercises¶
Exercise 1: Reverse Computational Table and Derivatives¶
Return to the function that we used the computational tool to dynamically visualize the steps of the reverse mode.
Write out the reverse mode table, which stores only partial derivative information, and use it to compute the full derivative in reverse mode at the point (1,2). You can return to the dynamic visualization tool to follow the steps that your calculation performs as you traverse the graph from output to input.


Customs seize trailer carrying contraband Analgin, others in Imo
by Gibson AchonuGibson Achonu, Owerri
The Nigeria Customs Service, Federal Operations Unit, Zone “C” Owerri, Imo State has intercepted and seized a trailer carrying 1 x 40 feet container, loaded with Analgin injections and other items.
Briefing journalists, on Friday, the Customs Area Controller, Comptroller Kayode Olusemire, said that the trailer, which was carrying 1,182 cartons of Analgin injections and other items, had the number plate, LSD-347-XD.
He said that Analgin injection was banned in Nigeria in 2005, adding that Switzerland banned the use of it in 1977, while the United States of America stopped its use in 1979.
Olusemire further said that the drug (Analgin) was a pain-killing injection. He added that its use and other sister injections like Novalgin negatively affect the kidney, liver and other sensitive parts of the human body.
The comptroller highlighted that cartons of singlet and other consignment were used to conceal the deadly injections at checkpoints.
He disclosed that the trailer was intercepted at Akpado along Port Harcourt–Owerri expressway.
Olusemire said, “The side effects of the Analgin to the human body are enormous. There are people who start to vomit uncontrollably when the injection is administered on them. It paralyses some people. Owing to these side effects and more, Nigeria banned the use of drug and sister drugs like Novalgin since 2005 from coming into the country”, Olusemire added.

As a second-year Emergency Medicine and Critical Care Resident, I was expected to have the basic skills of Echocardiography to pick life treating medical conditions and to gather valuable information about the status of the heart at the bedside. Which become true with the help of Dr. Yilkal Chane and Lily Berhe helping our team on the basics of Echocardiography training, which was conducted over two weeks at the emergency room of Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Thanking Both for their contribution, I would like to express my interest in further opportunities for echo training in the future. Thank you very much.
Since October 2015, Lily Berhe has been training cardiology fellows in echocardiography in Ethiopia as well as collected and delivered medical books. Lily provides online reading materials and travels to Ethiopia every year for a two-week-long trip to different hospitals to give hands-on echocardiography training to physicians and develop echocardiography protocol, her latest contribution being in January 2019.
On Thursday, January 24th, Lily traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to give advance congenital echocardiography training to the Children's Cardiac Center of Ethiopia's Pediatric cardiologists, basic and critical care echocardiography to Black Lion Hospital Emergency Department physicians. During her two-week stay in Addis Abeba, Lily has provided advance pediatric and fetal echocardiography training to four pediatric cardiologists and basic and echocardiography for critical care management to eight emergency department physicians.
To be efficient and accommodate the busy schedule of ED physicians, Lily also extended her training to Saturdays. Since most physicians are off-duty on Saturdays this allows them to participate in the training without interruptions. During this trip, Lily not only provided echocardiography training but also delivered critical need medical books that she collected through a donation from the U.S. In collaboration with Ethiopian Airlines, Heineman Medical Outreach, and Africgo Travel & Cargo, she has delivered over 900lbs in cardiology books to St. Paul’s Millennium Medical College Hospital. Lily has also developed echocardiography protocol, designed a reporting template and consulted the pediatric cardiologists on echo lab standardization.
Testimonials
My name is Dr. Merahi Kefyalew. I am a third-year Emergency and critical care resident in Tikur Anbessa hospital which is in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I have spent one week with Lily training in echocardiography when she came to Addis Ababa. I was really privileged to have her in our hospital regarding her echo skills. Since then, I can proudly say that I can access all the basic heart views on echo easily, I can estimate ejection fraction; I can identify regurgitant and stenotic lesions. In short, she was quite helpful in bringing our echo skills to the next level. Thanks!
I am Dr. Melaku Getachew from Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. I am a senior emergency and critical care medicine resident. I have had the pleasure of knowing Lily for over a year. We first met in our cardiac center while she gave us volunteer training on basic echocardiography training for residents. She is very dedicated and ambitious. I hope she will fulfill our country's gap going into the future.
Gallery
To increase our impact and train more local cardiac care professionals, we have designed a ten-month long online Cardiac Sonography program. Now we have completed the admission process for 6 applicants to start the Echocardiography program. This will improve the efficiency of cardiologists and the quality of cardiac care patients in Ethiopia.

Car bomb kills 9 in northern Syria town: Monitor
Two children were among those killed in Tal Abyad, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
A car bomb killed nine people including four civilians in a Turkish-held border town in northern Syria on Saturday, a Britain-based war monitor said.
Two children were among those killed in Tal Abyad, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing.
The area has been shaken by repeated such bombings since Turkish troops and their Syrian proxies seized a strip of border land including Tal Abyad from Kurdish forces in a cross-border operation last month.
The Turkish invasion against Kurdish-controlled areas saw Ankara's fighters seize a strip of land roughly 120 kilometres long and 30 kilometres deep on the Syrian side of the border.
The operation launched on October 9 displaced tens of thousands and left dozens of civilians dead, and forced Kurdish forces to retreat from some key towns.
On November 10, Turkey blamed Kurdish fighters for another bombing that took the lives of eight people in the village of Suluk southeast of Tal Abyad.
A week earlier, another car bomb killed 13 people in Tal Abyad, according to the Observatory.
Syria's Kurds have been a key ally of the US in fighting the Islamic State jihadist group in Syria, but Turkey sees them as "terrorists" linked to a Kurdish insurgency at home.
Kurdish-led Syrian forces expelled IS from its last patch of land in March, but the jihadists have continued to claim deadly attacks.


RJS (generator methods docs) is pretty cool.
In one RJS template, I wanted to (visually) remove an element with an animation, and then regenerate the entire list of elements when the animation completed. (I regenerate it because it is a top list, that should always have a certain number of elements if possible.)
Now, one can’t do
1 2 |
|
since visual effects are asynchronous – the next line of code is executed straight away, not when the effect completes.
Effects have callbacks, such as afterFinish
, but in RJS, you specify the callbacks as strings, not blocks of code. And you can’t do
1
|
|
because even though page.replace
will return the generated JS as a string, it also appends that string to the returned JS, so one will end up with something like
1 2 |
|
This is one situation where RJS can seem pretty limited, but this is actually very easily solved.
One can use page#<<
to inject raw JS into the page, just as the other generator methods generate JS and inject into the page. So one can simply wrap the generated JS in a function definition using page#<<
, and then register that function for the callback:
1 2 3 4 |
|
I suppose this is fairly obvious, but I didn’t realize it right away.

Press release
'Good' now minimum standard Ofsted expects from schools
From today all schools inspected by Ofsted must, at a minimum, be judged as ‘good’ to be good enough for our children.
The revised inspection arrangements follow a comprehensive consultation ‘A Good Education For All’ which received more than five thousand responses from teachers, headteachers, parents, carers and governors. Respondees agreed that children deserve the best education possible and as a result Ofsted has introduced inspection arrangements that challenge the education system to do better.
Ofsted is raising the bar for school inspections. This is a real challenge for schools but it is also a challenge for Ofsted. To meet this challenge Ofsted is making a number of structural and organisational changes, putting more senior inspectors in the field to promote improvement through inspection and to ensure the right amount of time is spent giving support to schools when they need it.
Launching the new inspection framework Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, said:
I believe all children, regardless of where they live or what their parents can afford for them, have the right to a good education and that belief is at the heart of our work at Ofsted. From today, the school inspection arrangements will further challenge schools to ensure a good education is provided for all our children.
I make no apology for introducing an inspection framework that raises expectations and focuses on the importance of teaching. The new short-notice inspections allow inspectors to see schools as they really are. Schools judged ‘requires improvement’ will receive strong support from Ofsted to help them get to ‘good’.
We know inspections are crucial in driving better performance. Showing the need for improvement is often the spur that brings about change. I want Ofsted to be giving the right support to the schools that need it. Her Majesty’s Inspectors will spend more time doing inspection and improvement work locally and they will be supported by eight new regional directors, each responsible for learning and improvement in their respective areas.
From September 2012 the key changes to the inspection framework for schools are:
-
to be judged ‘outstanding’, a school must have outstanding teaching. Not every lesson needs to be outstanding but over time schools must show outstanding teaching is helping pupils make excellent progress
-
from today a new grade ‘requires improvement’ replaces the ‘satisfactory’ grade. Satisfactory should never have been more than a staging post on a school’s journey towards providing a good or outstanding education for all children
-
schools judged satisfactory at the end of August 2012 will have a clean slate before being inspected by the end of the academic year 2013/14, but schools that have already been judged inadequate and given a notice to improve will be treated as schools that have ‘serious weaknesses’
-
schools will be notified of an inspection by telephone the afternoon before the inspection starts. This means inspectors will see schools as they really are whilst giving headteachers and governors the opportunity to be present at the inspection
-
Ofsted announced changes the changes to the inspection of schools, further education and skills and initial teacher training on 30 May. The press release can be read on the Ofsted website.
-
Thanks to the dedication of teachers and headteachers across England, most children go to a school that Ofsted has found good or outstanding.*

*Most recent inspection as at 31 March 2012. The most recent school inspection outcome statistics can be found on the Ofsted website.
-
The Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted) regulates and inspects to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people, and in education and skills for learners of all ages. It regulates and inspects childcare and children’s social care, and inspects the Children and Family Court Advisory Support Service (Cafcass), schools, colleges, initial teacher training, work-based learning and skills training, adult and community learning, and education and training in prisons and other secure establishments. It assesses council children’s services, and inspects services for looked after children, safeguarding and child protection.


It's raining outside, you should take an umbrella when you go out.
It's snowing outside. Don't go out and play.
Rainy weekends can drench plans for outdoor summer fun.
It's snowing outside. Don't go out and play.

I’m everything you want but can’t have.
I am a rare species, not a stereotype.
I’m one of a kind and I’m unique. Never forget that.
Thoughts will lead you in circles.


Web Crypto: deriveKey
This page shows how to use the deriveKey()
function of the Web Crypto API. It contains two separate examples, one for PBKDF2 and one for ECDH.
It's important to note that although both are defined in the API as key derivation functions, PBKDF2 and ECDH have very different use cases and characteristics.
PBKDF2 example
The PBKDF2 algorithm is used here to derive a secret key from a password.
When you click "Encrypt" the example prompts you for a password and then derives an AES key from the password using PBKDF2. It then uses that key to encrypt the message, and writes a representation of the ciphertext into the "Ciphertext" output.
When you click "Decrypt" the example prompts you for the password and derives an AES key from the password using PBKDF2. It then uses that key to decrypt the ciphertext, and writes a representation of the decrypted message into the "Decrypted" output.
If the "Decrypt" password doesn't match the original, decryption will fail and an error is shown.
ECDH example
The ECDH algorithm is more commonly called a "key agreement" algorithm. It enables two parties (conventionally called "Alice" and "Bob"), each of whom has a public/private key pair, to establish a shared secret key.
With this example we've created two key pairs, one for Alice and one for Bob. Alice derives an AES key using her private key and Bob's public key. Bob independently derives the same key using his private key and Alice's public key.
When you click "Encrypt" the example uses Alice's copy of the key to encrypt a message for Bob.
When you click "Decrypt" the example uses Bob's copy of the key to decrypt the message.

Equipments For Body Building
1. Training Bench
A training bench is an adjustable platform used for performing weight training exercises. You should be able to adjust the backrest, so you can move it from a flat position to an incline. You'll find a range of benches online, but look for a well-constructed and easily adjustable bench. A personal training studio may need at least two of these.
2. Dumbbell Set
This is probably your most important gym equipment purchase. Get a set of dumbbells, ranging from very light to very heavy, depending on who will be using them. Dumbbells come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials these days, from plastic-coated to colorful to straight metal, so take your pick. Get a set with a rack to save space.
3. Barbell Set
You have two options for barbells: The Olympic bar (a 55-pound bar for men and 45 for women), squat rack, bench press rack and removable plates if you can afford them, or a set of fixed or easily adjustable barbells with a smaller bar. Of course, a rack for storage is essential.
4. Kettlebell Set
Kettlebells provide an alternative to dumbbells because they activate a slightly different muscle profile. Although not necessarily superior, they are popular and worth purchasing. Kettlebells come in a variety of weights, sizes, and even shapes..
5. Pull-Up Frame Bar
This is for doing chin-ups and pull-ups. Look for a squat rack with a pull-up bar up top, and you'll save on cost and space.
6. Treadmill
Invest in some type of cardio equipment. If you can afford it, you might be able to include several different types of machines. But if you can only afford one, the treadmill is a smart choice. You'll want a treadmill that has varying inclines and speeds and provides heart rate monitoring. Get a robust, commercial gym-standard treadmill if you can afford it, and check out the machines with virtual tracks or other add-ons if you're willing to spend more.
7. Stationary Bicycle
The stationary bike is an alternative to the treadmill and rowing machine for cardiovascular endurance training. A bike provides a low-impact way to get the heart rate elevated. Each of these three machines emphasizes slightly different neuromuscular approaches to aerobic fitness.
8. Rowing Machine
You can do a lot with a total-body rowing machine. Unlike the bike and treadmill that focus more on the lower body, the rower offers a head-to-toe workout, engaging the legs, core and upper body. Plus, it helps burn a ton of calories and is another option for low-impact cardio.
9. Fitness Ball
You can design a lot of exercises around a fitness ball, especially core exercises. It adds an extra stability challenge to moves like chest presses, bicep curls, dead bugs, or plank knee tucks. So add it to your gym equipment arsenal.

Questions before doing data visualization¶
The most important thing of doing data visualization is the goal of the project. Therefore, Swop and I sat down and discuss about what we wanted to gain from the datasets. After looking through both datasets, we agreed to do some data visualization and data analysis to answer some following questions:
- What are the most 10 popular bikeshare stations?
- Is anything special about trip durations between New York City and Boston?
- With the policies of 30-minute limit checkout, what is the trip duration distribution of New York City, which is less than 30 minutes?
- Are there any accidental checkouts in both cities?
- How many trips from Station A all the long way to Station A?
- What is the gender ratio using bikeshare in both cities?
- What is the trip duration by usertype distribution?
- What is age distribution of people using bikeshare service in both cities?
- What is the time/month that people use bikeshare most?
- Which locations do people use bikeshare service most?
These are all of the questions we are thinking about. We then do some data visualization to answer all of these questions.


Wag the Dogby John Denvir, USF Law School (February 1998) Barry Levinsons Wag the Dog is a cynical little gem. Its target is the American political system as it has evolved in the Reagan/Bush/Clinton era what we might call the post-democratic era in American politics. The focus on the undermining of democratic ideals reminds us of Frank Capras classic Meet John Doe, but while Capras vehicle was melodrama, Levinsons weapon is black comedy. He is aided by a brilliant script by Hilary Henkin and David Mamet. The plot revolves around the efforts of "spinmaster" Conrad Brean (Robert DeNiro) to respond to a late-breaking story that the President of the United States has been accused of fondling a visiting girl scout in the oval office. (Im not kidding! ) Brean decides to divert the publics attention from his clients personal problems by providing the American public with a television spectaclea war which only takes place on television. He then enlists the services of Hollywood producer Stanley Motts (Dustin Hoffman) to "produce" the waror "pageant" as they prefer to call it. The rest of the movie shows us how Hollywood produces a war with Albania. It is both hilarious and chilling. The most memorable (and instructive) scene shows us how computer technology can transform an American actress holding a bag of tortilla chips on a sound stage into an Albanian maiden escaping with her calico kitten from a bombed-out city as victims scream and sirens wail. But then Motts decides he needs a bridge to symbolize her crossing over to safety; a few keys are clicked and the bridge appears. The President insists on a white kitten; the computer transforms the calico kitty to a white one. Within hours television networks are playing and replaying this fiction as fast-breaking news. In Meet John Doe there are heroes and villains, but in Wag the Dog, such concepts are irrelevant. Now we only have "production values." Politics is just one more branch of "show business." As Hoffmans Motts puts it, the change from being movie producer to president would be "just a change of wardrobe."  At one point, a member of the working group which is busy shaping American foreign policy decides to ask each member of the group if he or she votes. They all reply no. Motts adds that he does vote for the academy awards. Like I saidit's the post democratic era of American politics. Hoffmans performance ranks with his best in movies such as Midnight Cowboy and Tootsie. He shows the narcissistic Motts to be a very ordinary, even boring, man in most aspects of his life. His conversations are collages of self-congratulatory anecdotes and moral cliches. Yet when he starts to work with a "story line", he is nothing less than a genius. This reminds me of the many mutant geniuses of the late twentieth Centuryfrom Stephen Spielberg to Bill Gates. I wont divulge the ending, but its impressive that Levinson never tries to sweeten his message with a "romantic angle" or a contrived happy ending. Typical of the movies bite is a scene in which Motts responds to a criticism of a television speech he has written for the President. The President thinks it's "corny." Motts replies, "of course, its corny." It's for an American audience. He then insists on having 30 secretaries listen to him read the speech; he reduces them all to tears. Like I said- its a black comedy. Of course, the question remains how "real" the movie is. Could it actually happen? The dialogue suggests that it could, pointing to how quickly the phony war in Grenada followed the deaths of 246 marines in Beirut and how Americans were sold the Gulf War by repeated showings of a "smart" bomb descending a smoke stack in Iraq. Of course, we know it couldnt happen here. Still I cant help happening to notice that along with headlines in The New York Times about Clintons sexual problems we also see small stories in the back pages saying that the U.S. is "losing patience" with Saddam Hussein. A war with Iraq? You read it here first.

Analytics ETL Processing
Analytics ETL is processed by means of SQL stored procedures called by SQL agent jobs. The SQL Agent job can be started from any failed steps if needed. Alternatively, Analytics ETL can be executed by calling the SQL stored procedures directly with the same parameters as in the SQL Agent Job. Because of this, the ETL process can be customized for different scenarios as needed, such as calling additional custom source systems as part of the job.
Technical Components
The Analytics ETL agent job includes a number of steps that execute stored procedures within the databases of the Advanced Analytics Platform. Below we can find a list of the stored procedure executed in each database.
The Analytics ETL agent job executes the following stored procedures in the InsightETL database.
dbo.s_MergeUpdateBatchStatus
This stored procedure, executed at the beginning of Analytics ETL, creates a new batch in the Batch table and will perform in-place updates to the involved Batch records.
dbo.s_CreateColumnCalculations
This stored procedure reads the content of the AttributeCalculations table in InsightETL and, based on the Split, Calculations and Datasets definitions, it creates new columns in the target tables. In Analytics ETL, this stored procedure is directly executed twice, first on the tables imported in the InsightImport database and then on the tables imported into InsightSource. Furthermore, this stored procedure is internally called by the s_InsightStaging_Update stored procedure when Analytics ETL reaches its core steps in the InsightStaging database.
dbo.s_CreateRuleGroup
This stored procedure applies business rules designed through the Rules Engine functionalities of InsightETL on a specific database whose name is specified as input parameter. In Analytics ETL, this stored procedure is directly executed three times, first on the tables imported in the InsightImport database, then on the tables loaded in InsightImport and then on the tables imported into InsightSource. Furthermore, this stored procedure is internally called by the s_InsightStaging_Update stored procedure when Analytics ETL reaches its core steps in the InsightStaging database.
dbo.s_PopulateAuditCounts
This stored procedure performs a count of the records processed within each database involved in ETL processing. It is executed several times during ETL for records count reconciliation between source and target databased. The results of these calculations are stored in the dbo.TableRowCountAudit log table in InsightETL.
dbo.s_ColumnStoreIndex_Defragmentation
Forces all of the rowgroups into the columnstore and then to combine the rowgroups into fewer rowgroups with more rows. The ALTER INDEX REORGANIZE online operation also removes rows that have been marked as deleted from the columnstore index tables. During Analytics ETL, this stored procedure is executed twice for maintence reasons, first within the InsightLanding database and then in the InsightWarehouse.
Example:
EXEC [dbo].[s_ColumnStoreIndex_Defragmentation]
@DatabaseName = N'InsightLanding',
@CompressRowGroupsWhenGT = 5000,
@MergeRowGroupsWhenLT = 150000,
@DeletedTotalRowPercentage = 10,
@DeletedSegmentsRowPercentage = 20,
@EmptySegmentsAllowed = 0,
@ExecOrPrint = N'EXEC',
@BatchNum = null
dbo.s_SetBatchStatusFinished
This stored procedure marks the completion of any batch executed, either ‘CompletedWithError’ if there are error(s) or ‘CompletedSuccessfully’ when no error is encountered. It executed at the end of the Analytics ETL agent job.
Furthrmore, InsightETL is used to set the current date through a SQL statement similar to the one below.
Example:
declare @CurrentETLDate date = (select max(mis_date) from InsightImport.dbo.DATES);
UPDATE CurrentDate set BusinessDate = @CurrentETLDate;
The Analytics ETL agent job executes the following stored procedures in the InsightImport database.
Insight.s_ImportBaseTables
This procedure manages the control of the process to Bulk Insert from CSV files to SQL in parallel with DQI (Data Quality Import) or/and DPI (Data Profiler Import).
Insight.s_ImportSubTables
This procedure parses multi-values, sub-values, and local reference fields creating the associated ‘sub’ tables.
Insight.s_T24ConsolKeys_add
This procedure parses Consolidation keys for GL-related tables like RE_CONSOL_SPEC_ENTRY and any CRF file. It execues the following steps in Analytics ETL:
-
Updates Batch log
EXEC [InsightETL].dbo.s_MergeUpdateBatchStatus null, null, null
-
Runs the Import.
Exec [Insight].[s_Import_Control] @PathName = 'E:\InsightImport', @TableName = 'All', @ReCreateTables = 0, @TableType = 'Regular', @SystemTablesExist = 0, @BatchNum = null, @TotalThreads = null;
-
Checks imported tables against HASH_TOTAL
Exec [InsightImport].[Insight].[s_ImportDataReportErrors] @TableName = 'All', @BatchNum = null;

Exec [Insight].[s_Import_Control] @PathName = 'E:\InsightImport', @TableName = 'All', @ReCreateTables = 0, @TableType = 'mv', @SystemTablesExist = 1, @BatchNum = null, @TotalThreads = null;
-
Performs Multi-value sub-value parsing
Exec [Insight].[s_Import_Control] @PathName = 'E:\InsightImport', @TableName = 'All', @ReCreateTables = 0, @TableType = 'mvsv', @SystemTablesExist = 1, @BatchNum = null, @TotalThreads = null;
-
Performs sub-value parsing for local reference fields
Exec [Insight].[s_Import_Control] @PathName = 'E:\InsightImport', @TableName = 'All', @ReCreateTables = 0, @TableType = 'lrsv', @SystemTablesExist = 1, @BatchNum = null, @TotalThreads = null;
-
Parses consolidation keys for GL
-
exec [Insight].[s_T24ConsolKeys_Add] @TableName = 'All', @BatchNum = null;
Insight.s_BuildCOA
This procedure builds the Chart of Accounts table.
The Analytics ETL agent job executes the following stored procedure in the InsightLanding database.
dbo.s_InsightLandingTable_CSI_Table_Update

Situated in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Sardinia with its app. 1.800 kilometres of coastline, is one of the most popular destinations for people who love aquatic sports and seaside holidays, not only for its natural beauty and geographical position but also for its history. The many waves of invaders who plundered and settled in Sardinia during the thousands of years of Sardinian history, came from the sea.
For this reason the Sardinians, until recently, have never loved the sea and they built very few villages along the coast. The most important villages were built during the period of the Roman domination and before that under the Phoenician-Punic domination. Some examples are: Karalis (Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia), Nora, Tharros, Olbia and Turris Libissonis (Porto Torres) on the Northern coast of Sardinia.
Archaeological evidence of prehistoric human settlement on the island of Sardinia is present in the form of nuraghes and others prehistoric monuments, which dot the land. The recorded history of Sardinia begins with its contacts with the various people who sought to dominate western Mediterranean trade in Classical Antiquity: Phoenicians, Punics and Romans. Initially under the political and economic alliance with the Phoenician cities, it was partly conquered by Carthage in the late 6th century BC and then entirely by Rome after the First Punic War (238 BC). The island was included for centuries in the Roman province of Corsica et Sardinia, included in 3rd and 4th centuries in the Italia suburbicaria diocese.
In the Early Middle Ages, through barbarian movements, the waning of the Byzantine Empire influence in the western Mediterranean and the Saracen raids, the island fell out of the sphere of influence of any higher government. This led to the birth of four kingdoms called Giudicati (Latin: Judicati; Sardinian: Judicados) in the 8th through 10th centuries. Falling under papal influence, Sardinia became the focus of the rivalry of Genoa and Pisa, the Giudicati and the Crown of Aragon, which eventually subsumed the island as the Kingdom of Sardinia in 1324. The Kingdom was to last until 1718, when it was ceded to the Piedmontese House of Savoy; later, in 1861, it would thus become the Kingdom of Italy and finally in 1946 the Italian Republic.
According to Sardinian legend, after God created all the dry land and seas, he finally got around to creating boulders, which he then flung into the sea and trod upon. From this “ichnusa” (footprint, like the shape of Sardinia) an island was created which is a little continent unto itself containing every conceivable type of landscape. And to make Sardinia absolutely perfect, God took the creme de la creme of what he had already created elsewhere and spread it across the surface of this rocky island whose majestic mountain ranges stretch into the distance as far as the eye can see.
The granite of the Supramonte mountains rising in the distance almost looks like snow. Sardinia’s mountainous landscape has acted as a natural shield against outside control by conquerors and carabinieri, allowing shepherds to roam free and notorious bandits to hide in the rocky labyrinth formed by deep ravines and hidden caves.

Jon Voight, Alison Krauss honored with national medals
by Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, singer and musician Alison Krauss and mystery writer James Patterson are among those being honored by President Donald Trump for their contributions to the arts or the humanities.
The White House announced four recipients of the National Medal of Arts and four of the National Humanities Medal Sunday night.
They’re the first recipients of the prestigious national medals since Trump took office and will be honored during a ceremony Thursday.
Voight is a rare Hollywood star who publicly backs the president, and he has hailed Trump as “the greatest president of this century.”
Neither honor, usually an annual affair, had been awarded since Trump’s inauguration in January 2017. The most recent arts or humanities medals were bestowed by President Barack Obama in September 2016.

Sixth celebrity sambas off Strictly dancefloor
Viscountess Emma Weymouth has become the sixth celebrity to depart the Strictly dancefloor.
The chef and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec were given the boot after losing out in the dance-off to BBC Breakfast’s Mike Bushell and his partner Katya Jones.
Both couples performed their routines again, with all the judges opting to save Bushell and Jones for their charleston to Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines by Ron Goodwin Orchestra, over Weymouth and Skorjanec for their samba to Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I Don’t Care.
Judge Craig Revel Horwood said: “Well, for me the most challenging and the better dance, I thought on this particular performance for me, I’d like to save Mike and Katya.”
Motsi Mabuse agreed, saying: “I’m going to choose a couple which I think everything they did was much clearer to read, much easier to follow and more prepared. I’m going to go with Mike and Katya.”
Bruno Tonioli added: “Purely based on tonight’s performance, more entertaining, richer, more powerful and something extraordinary happened, the celebrity actually covered for the professional’s mistake; Mike and Katya.”
Head judge Shirley Ballas confirmed she would also chosen have to save Mike and Katya.
After learning the news, Weymouth said to her partner: “I’ve loved this more than anything I’ve done in my entire life.
“I’m going to be forever grateful to you for working so hard, you’ve been so patient with me and teaching me everything.
“Thank you, I want to be friends forever because you’re just amazing. I never wanted to let you down, I’m just heartbroken.”
Skorjanec replied: “You never ever let me down from the first day of rehearsals when I walked in.
“I’m the only professional to have danced with an actual lady on Strictly Come Dancing.
“From day one in rehearsals, your dedication, to go from a non-performer, non-dancer, to achieve what you achieved on this show,
“I’m lucky it was me that taught you how to dance. Thank you so much for every single second in rehearsals.
“On that dancefloor you surprised me positively every single week. Thank you so much.”
Saturday night’s episode saw CBBC star Karim Zeroual and Amy Dowden top the leaderboard for their quickstep while EastEnders actress Emma Barton and partner Anton Du Beke languished at the bottom for their rumba.
Strictly Come Dancing returns on November 9 on BBC One at 6.45pm.


Lizzo carries the smallest little bag to the American Music Awards 2019
Lizzo was surprisingly outshone on the American Music Awards red carpet, after arriving at the bash carrying what is possibly the world’s smallest handbag.
Joining some of music’s biggest stars on Sunday, the Truth Hurts singer strutted along the red carpet in a pretty ruffled one-shoulder minidress, but even the bright orange hue wasn’t enough to distract from her unusual accessory.
The 31-year-old casually posed on the red carpet at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theatre holding up a tiny white handbag between her fingers.
While it may be small in appearance, the teeny purse was designed by a fashion powerhouse courtesy of Valentino.
So what can Lizzo’s tiny bag fit exactly? Her phone? Lipstick? Snacks for the show?
Nope, none of the above but something much better.
‘@maisonvalentino Bag big enough for my f***s to give. Big body b***h in a Valentin-HO custom look for @amas.’
Brilliant. How do we get one?
Advertisement Advertisement
Ariana Grande gave the teeny accessory her seal of approval and commented on Instagram: ‘Cutest.’
During her red carpet interview, Lizzo revealed there are only three of the little handbags in the world but they’ll no doubt be snapped up sharpish after tonight.
As for what she packed for the evening, the singer joked: ‘I got tampons in here, a flask of tequila, condoms.’
All the essentials, then.
Lizzo, real name Melissa Jefferson, will be hoping to bag one of the three awards she’s nominated for, which are: best new artist, soul/R&B song of the year and soul/R&B female artist of the year.
Last week, the Juice singer earned eight Grammy nominations including song of the year for Truth Hurts and album of the year for Cuz I Love You.
It’s been a stellar year for Lizzo who spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with Truth Hurts, which became one of the longest-running chart-toppers by a solo female rapper.
The AMAs are taking place at the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles tonight and will air live on ABC at 8pm ET.

s6

How do I perform socket activation with s6 ?
First, it's important to realize that you don't need
socket activation. It's a marketing word used by systemd
advocates that mixes a couple useful architecture concepts and several
horrible ideas, for a very minor speed benefit. Read
this mail and
this
post for details.
- s6 will not help you implement super-servers in process 1,
because doing so is bad engineering.
However, it will help you set up super-servers. The
s6-ipcserver
program, for Unix domain sockets, as well as the
s6-tcpserver4 and
s6-tcpserver6
programs, for TCP INET domain sockets (available in the
s6-networking
package) are super-servers you can use to
your heart's content. They are even wrappers around simpler programs,
and you can use their components in the way you choose: bind sockets,
drop privileges, accept connections from clients, it's all about what you
write in your command line. Super-servers are a good thing; using process 1
to act as a super-server is not. s6 provides you with the tools to get
the good without the bad.
- s6 will not help you run all your services before their
dependencies are met, because doing so is very bad engineering.
However, it will provide you with:
- s6 will not help you centralize all your socket information
in process 1, because doing so is contrary to modularity and independence
of services. However, s6
will provide you with a way to store your open sockets and
retrieve them when you want, which it calls "fd holding":
s6-fdholder-daemon.
So, how do I open all my sockets first, store them, and dispatch them
to daemons later ?
Again, it's not necessary to do that: you'll be fine, and quite speedy,
just starting your
daemons in their good time. You will not reap any noticeable
benefit from performing "socket activation". But if you really want to:
- Make sure you have an early supervision infrastructure running.
Ideally, you would make s6-svscan your
process 1.
- Start an early fd-holding
service. Let's say the fd-holding daemon is listening on socket
/service/fdholder/s.
- For every Unix domain socket /my/socket you need to open, run
s6-ipcserver-socketbinder /my/socket s6-fdholder-store /service/fdholder/s
unix:/my/socket. You can do the same with INET domain sockets.
- Proceed to your initialization.
- When you want to run a daemon myserverd that accepts clients
connecting to /my/socket, run s6-fdholder-retrieve
/service/fdholder/s unix:/my/socket myserverd. myserverd
will be executed with /my/socket as its standard input.
- The descriptors remain safely stored in the fd-holding daemon and you
can retrieve them again whenever you want, for instance when your service
crashes and is restarted.
That is all there is to it. You don't have to use specific libraries
or write complex unit files, you just need to understand how a command
line works. This is Unix.


sensors-conf-convert(1) Linux User's Manual sensors-conf-convert(1) NAME sensors-conf-convert - convert sensors.conf from lm-sensors 2 format to lm-sensors 3 format SYNOPSIS sensors-conf-convert < /etc/sensors.conf > /etc/sensors3.conf DESCRIPTION sensors-conf-convert converts a sensors.conf file from the old (Linux 2.4, lm-sensors 2) symbol names to the new (Linux 2.6, lm-sensors 3) sym‐ bol names. Implemented conversions: - The "algorithm name" part of bus statements is removed. - Bus statements for the ISA bus are removed. - Chip names containing dashes are removed. - Label, ignore, set and compute statements referencing features which are not part of the new interface are removed. - Label, ignore, set and compute statements referencing features which have been renamed are updated. This includes both general feature name changes and chip-specific feature name changes. SEE ALSO sensors.conf(5) AUTHOR Jean Delvare. lm-sensors 3 March 2008 sensors-conf-convert(1)

A brand new Tower Defense game with a twist. Defend your village using four types of towers and your vast knowledge of the elements.
We know about three elemental natures.
Each tower and enemy has an elemental nature: FIRE, WATER or EARTH. Fire towers deal extra damage against earth foes, but are weak against water ones.
YOU have four tower types
Basic Tower: All-rounder. Has average fire speed and damage.
Cannon Tower: Devastating. Fires very damaging bullets, but is very slow.
Haste Tower: Nimble. Incredible fire rate, but low damage output.
Area Tower: You shall not pass. Low damage and speed, but hits every enemy in range!
They are three types of enemies.
Minion: horde. They aren't special, but they come in big groups and can overwhelm your targeting towers.
Skeleton: Undead soldier. No matter how hard you hit them, they have shields! You will need many shots instead of powerful ones.
Golem: Healing Relict. Hit them hard, hit them fast. These monsters can heal over time!
If you have enough gold, you can place a tower by left-clicking and dragging the icons on screen. To sell a tower, click it with your mouse-wheel and recover half of cost .
To change a tower's element, left-click or right-click it. This action has some cooldown. If you want to rotate all towers at once. Click the rotation icon on the lower-left corner.
Defend your village from the monsters! Don't let them reach the end of the path

| uint8_t IEC60730_CRC_TEST_testNvMemory | ( | uint16_t * | pStartAddress, |
| uint16_t | memorySize, | ||
| uint16_t * | pExpectedCrc | ||
| ) |
Tests invariable (non volatile) memory (FLASH)
| *pStartAddress | is a pointer the start address of memory to be tested |
| memorySize | size of memory to be tested |
| *pExpectedCrc | is a pointer to the expected CRC value |
The following function check for memory corruption in non volatile memory. The user must first calculate the CRC value of the memory to be checked. This can be achieved by using the CRC_tool which is included in the utils folders of the library. To learn how to use the CRC_tool please consult the IEC60730 Class B API User's Guide. When the CRC value is obtain, the user must store the CRC value in FLASH before calling the function. The memorySize paramater is specified in 16 bit words and should not exceed 65535 16 bit words. The expectedCrc value is compared to the newly calculated CRC value. The test passes if the two CRC values are identical.
NOTE: memorySize should be even an value, otherwise the the test fails.
