Welcome to the ground for some of the great work done by our Shayars.

This website brings you the platform for sharing the happiness, Care, Love and Feelings by your creative work of writing.
Here you can share your writing work if you are shayar, poet, or any short story writer or the daily motivating quotes..... any thing that you want, for someone you care.
Also if you are not a writer then you can come here to read some of the great works done by our
Fellowmates.
It is our approach to share love and peace through our work but we didnot get the right platform to do so. Thus this website is just a 1% of that approach and a small initiative in that direction.
You can even learn something new every day from here whether it is some good thought or a memory. You will definitely get something interesting.

How to ask good questions?
I find that the best question is the one you ask after having tried to answer it by yourself.
When you seriously try to find the answer to a problem or the right algorithm for a program, to postpone asking a question until you have exhausted all your attempts and sources to solve it makes you learn more and produce specific inquiries.
On the opposite side, "asking first" will help you finish your task earlier, but will probably decrease your learning ability.


--- layout: default title: "About Me" description: "" ---
My name is Robyn Bursnell,
I am currently based in Leeds, UK and working as an apprentice software developer for ASDA.
In my role I predominantly work with React Native, Redux, and Javascript, and am working on improving my skills to become a full-stack developer.
I have a degree in Archaeology from the University of Chester, and an interest in a wide range of subjects in and out of technology. I can be known as a serial hobby starter, but not a serial hobby finisher.
I like to play games, digital and traditional, and hope to make some of my own in the future.


3. Introduction¶
Welcome to the MAterials Simulation Toolkit (MAST)!
MAST is an automated workflow manager and post-processing tool.
MAST focuses on diffusion and defect workflows that use density functional theory. It interfaces primarily with the Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP).
However, MAST can be generalized to other workflows and codes.
MAST is available from the Python Package Index.
Additional tools and unit tests are available through the latest MAST tar.gz file.
3.1. The MAST Kitchen¶
MAST uses kitchen terminology to organize the materials simulation workflow.
An Ingredient is a single calculation, like a single VASP calculation resulting in a relaxed structure and energy.
A Recipe is a collection of several ingredients, including information about how the ingredients are combined together.
- As in a cooking recipe, ingredients may need to be addressed in a logical order, with some ingredients depending on other ingredients.
- The Recipe section defines this order, or workflow.
When MAST reads an input file, it creates a recipe in the $MAST_SCRATCH
directory.
- Many recipes can reside in
$MAST_SCRATCH
. - MAST will check and update the recipes in alphanumeric order.
When MAST finds that a recipe is complete, it will move the recipe from $MAST_SCRATCH
to $MAST_ARCHIVE
.
3.2. Computing in the MAST Kitchen¶
Install MAST (see Installation).
Plan your workflow.
What are the single calculations you will need (Ingredients)?
Which calculations depend on each other and should be grouped into a Recipe?
What are all of the conditions for each calculation?
- Which calculations have a volume change?
- Which calculations should be run at fixed volume?
- How fine a kpoint mesh does each calculation need?
- Etc...
Run an example file (see Trying out MAST) to get a feel for how MAST works.
Copy and modify an example file for your own workflow.
Please check your output carefully, especially when setting up a new workflow.

Google is great. I’m not going to lie. The web, however, is filled with content that was purposefully written to attract attention, i.e., clickbait. While I always encourage participants in my courses to use Wikipedia as a starting point, I also encourage them to go beyond an encyclopedia entry or two. The easiest next step is to find something in a specialist encyclopedia. The steps that follow are looking up topics in journals and in finding them in books.
If you are on campus, it may be easier simply to use the library: Dupré Library is open, is also with some limits.
Please note that, in most cases, the direct link to the original source of an article or other kind of resource is posted in course materials: it’s important that you understand for yourself from whence information comes and it is expected that you will take some time to chart the network of sources for yourself. In some cases, the linked material will be openly available and accessible to you. In other cases, the link will be to one of a number of content aggregators for which the university has subscribed to make access available to you. (Please remember that servers cost money, both in terms of hardware and in terms of the people who maintain the hardware and the software. The university’s subscription helps to underwrite those costs and makes the business of science and scholarship possible.)
Quite often, a link will take you to JSTOR, if only because that is where a number of folklore studies journals are archived. The links look like this if you hover over them or if you right- or control-click to copy them:
http://jstor.org/stable/538099
If you are on-campus, you will be taken directly to the JSTOR, or Project Muse, page, because most providers have registered the university’s IP address and honor all requests coming from the university automatically.
If you are off-campus, you will need to do a bit of legwork. You will need to go through the university’s proxy server, which essentially authenticates you as being a part of the university and thus able to access the requested material. Once you are logged onto the server, it can often be easier to copy the DOI portion of the JSTOR URL into the proxy address. (Easiest way is to click on the link to JSTOR.) In most instances it looks like this:
http://ezproxyprod.ucs.louisiana.edu:2079/stable/10.2307/538099
Do you see where the identifying number of the article is located? There are two sets of numbers at the end of the URL:
10.2307/538099
Together they make up the DOI for this article. The alternative, of course, is that you simply use the citation information to search for the article yourself, which is never a bad idea.

not sure if it's an issue, but I thought I'll bring it up. It takes me several tries to "stop" the zaddex wallet, each time it "fails" to stop. I have never had this issue with any other asset on native mode in the agama wallet.

Hi. We will be launching the Telegram channel soon. It is up and running but just in set up stage. We will have some designs to share with you shortly. The exchange is well ahead of schedule. We will finalise this set up before beginning a media ramp up and also further listings.
We have also been nominated in a Twitter Gems tournament and been slated for an upcoming coinmarketcap.com listing. We need to finalise current exchange deals before this goes live.
Thank you for following us early and pointing your miners to us. I think this could very well be a good decision in the very near future.

I'm doing a lot of crazy things with databases lately, and the one thing I almost invariably need for all of them is a sequence generator.
So what's a sequence generator? Well basically that's something that lets you generate a sequence of integers between a start and an end point. I'm using those a lot when initialising tables with blank data of arbitrary sizes, or for certain methods of weighing data - I'll delve deeper into the latter in a separate article.
Some databases already ship with built-in functions or other primitives for this purpose - PostgreSQL for example has the CREATE SEQUENCE construct and a set of helpful procedures that go with it, which is also supported in TSQL and Oracle - but what I really need, most of the time, is something that'll just return a dummy table filled with a series of integers - like 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ... - with one entry per row. Larger databases contain constructs for this purpose as well, but at least SQLite doesn't - and I do use that a lot. So that's where this bit of SQL magic comes in.
This one's straightforward - and might even be ANSI SQL; grab it here, or as part of this site's source code:
This creates two things: a set of views that generate the actual sequences, and a set of tables that contain pre-created sequences. The integers in these (v)seqN constructs range from 0 to (2**N)-1. The generating views build on each other with a cartesian product, which means that each new view squares the range. If you ever needed larger ranges you could just introduce a vseq64 analogously to the other views.
The views alone would technically already be enough for my requirements, but generating and filtering those sequences with this method is fairly expensive. The tables help a lot with that, especially since the primary key declaration should also create an index - although I've seen sqlite3 "forget" to do so in some versions with a visible performance boost if you used a separate create unique index statement. But that's something for another article.


Hi, my name is Jordan Benbelaid and thank you for visiting my website. The purpose of this project is below, so please take a moment to take a look at what I am trying to achieve. But first, a little about me!
I graduated from Brunel University last year with a Computer Science degree. My hobbies tend to include anything sport related. I was in the 1st Rugby team at Brunel and before that I played at County and local level. I was also a Tae Kwon Do Instructor, assisting at my local TKD school. Now I play Basketball and five-a-side. I have always demonstrated a particular strength in Maths, which not only helped me with my programming but in the past has earned me some money through tutoring younger students through their exams.
I really enjoy gaming, although I had to reduce this while in University! I am a particular fan of League of Legends and sports games. While I have been looking for work, I have also gone back to reading, which was one of my favourite things to do a few years back. I particularly enjoy the adventure/mystery genre.
I have been brushing up on my skills by revising some of the things I learnt, such as HTML, CSS and C#. I have recently been commissioned to build two websites, which will be my next upcoming projects. I am not taking on too many at a time, as I am hoping to be in work soon and would still want to commit to completing these for the clients.
Why This Website?
After finishing my Computer Science degree at Brunel, I took some time out to travel and help my dad to complete a home extension project (see pictures below!). I then joined Sparta Global in January where I trained for three months in C# in preparation for the few placement interviews they had lined up for the end of March 2020. All the positions literally fell through in the space of a couple of weeks, due to Covid. Fast forward a few months and it has been quite difficult to get into a developer/programming role, so I have decided to be more proactive and do some self promotion!
I built this website from scratch using mainly HTML and CSS.
It has been built to showcase the following:
My commitment to being proactive and doing whatever it takes to achieve my goals
My CV and contact details
My programming skills and portfolio as I add to this
Click here to see the website code on Git Hub.
I would welcome any feedback or pointers on improvements I can make on the website and will be continually improving it.
| Skill | Experience level | How I've used this skill |
|---|---|---|
| C# | Intermediate | This is one of the languages I have done a lot of work on, where i have used my knowledge to create WPF applications, MVC websites, API's, running programs simultaneously, SOLID principles, OOP principles as well as a lot more. Although I have covered a lot of this language in a good amount of details, I still need to get to grips with more difficult tasks. |
| HTML | Intermediate | HTML is a language I find to be fairly simple, but can look great and be used effectively when done right. I have had a good amount of experience in using HTML, which goes almost hand in hand with CSS. I've used HTML when creating websites from scratch as I feel more in control when creating a project. |
| CSS | Intermediate | Like HTML, I have used CSS a lot, to help with the adding my own spin and flavour to a project. I have also used Bootstrap in the past, which can make it easier when trying to 'jazz up' my pages. However, I have always been a fan of using CSS so I can get everything exactly how I want it. |
| Java | Beginner/Intermediate | At University, Java was one of the languages we did in a lot more detail, and it also being an OOP language, allowed me to pick up C# a bit more easily. I completed a numerous amount of worksheets in Java but have not used it as much in recent years, which is why I am not as confident in it as I am C# even though the languages are similar. |
| SQL | Intermediate | Database work using SQL was fairly easy, and the terminology used is not too hard to remember, but remembering when to use it is a completely different story. Saying this, I have not had too many issues when it comes to using SQL and the commands are fairly self-explanatory. |
| Prolog | Beginner | Prolog is a language I had never heard of until University, and we only completed a short project on it, however I found the language easy enough to learn (to the level I needed it at) and was quite fun. |
| Razor | Beginner | Linking with C#, I have used Razor and CSS to help me create an MVC website to look how I wanted it to, however it is something I think I would have trouble using if i didnt have an outline or anything to support me. |
NCS (National Citizen Service)
A 3-week course, where the first week consisted of team work on a residential site, doing activities such as caving, abseiling and camping. The second week involved a group project
creating a ‘charity’ idea with a Facebook page and handing out flyers to raise awareness for self-harm, and the third week consisted of doing charity work such as helping in care
homes and landscaping in deprived public areas such as parks. Also participated in sports with children with different disabilities (physical and mental) such as football, as well as
other tasks such as drawing/painting.
World Challenge
In Morocco, worked in a school helping to build functioning facilities such as toilets and creating play areas for them. Tasks completed during this 2-week period included stripping
down walls and re-decorating them, refurbishing the toilets by knocking down walls/floors to create safe areas, transporting grit/sand to create cement for flooring and playing with
the kids and locals in breaks.
MIND
Partook in a charity rugby game annually to raise money for MIND, a charity for men’s mental health. Currently attend every year to support this cause even if not participating in the
match. At University we started an annual charity match due to a team member, long before me getting there, having mental health issues. This was a great way to involve
people and help raise awareness.
Code First Girls
Volunteering for the Code First Girls web development course, supporting the trainer in assisting the girls with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, if they would get stuck or needed help in
certain aspects (for example, changing background colour). Great experience to develop communication through knowledge sharing with others in a way they would understand, being new to
coding in general. This was a great way to not only consolidate my knowledge, but to give back by teaching others what I was taught.
Rugby
I have been playing rugby since I was 8 years old, and it has been one of the best sports I have played. I have played for my local club, Harrow RFC, as well as playing at County and University level. I have always had a role to play in a team, whether that be leading warmups, keeping team morale high or just playing well! As a team sport it is important that all team mates are doing their job and encouraging each other, which is another reason I enjoy playing and watching the sport.
Gaming
I have been a gamer for my whole life, ranging from sport games such as FIFA and NBA 2K, first person shooters, strategy games and more. I cannot think of a time where I have not wanted to play on console/PC as theres so many games to choose from, it is almost impossible to get bored. The selection nowadays is even broader, with many more games I wish I had time to try out.
Tae Kwon Do
I am a certified blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do, as well as having taken a course in teaching, alongside first aid. I enjoyed this martial art as it helped instill discipline in me, as well as helping to get fit and learning to protect myself from different situations. I have also participated in a tournament when I was younger, doing patterns and sparring against other schools.


Packing house packs it in
by Darren HandschuhIn November 1991 marked the end of an era for Vernon.
It was on that day the final bin of apples was lowered onto the production line of the R.H. MacDonald & Sons packing house, while 40 seasonal employees looked on.
The packing house, the last in Vernon, was closing its doors, marking a big change for a city that was once an agricultural hub of the Okanagan.
The packing house operated for nearly 60 years.
It was opened in 1933 by Robert MacDonald, who came to BC from his native Nova Scotia in 1896. MacDonald first worked as a carpenter at the Coast and aboard the S.S. Minto on the Arrow Lakes.
He tried to strike it rich in the Klondike Gold Rush, to no avail, before returning to Nova Scotia to marry his sweetheart, Stella Falconer.
The couple lived in Yukon and Vancouver, but decided a smaller community would be a better place to raise their six children. MacDonald purchased a farm in the BX District, and became active in the fruit industry. Prior to the opening of the packing house, the family packed and sold the apples from their 85-acre farm themselves.
The packing house, which stood on Vernon’s main drag, employed 35 to 40 women during the Second World War, as jobs that were traditionally held by men were freed up when troops went overseas.
The women learned to pack using wooden apples, before moving to the more tender fruit.
Jean, the youngest MacDonald child, once said “it was a joy to watch women pack those apples with thin white paper on each one.”
Her brothers, Ian, Bob and Bill, all worked at the plant, and Jean was employed as the secretary.
The business expanded in 1945 when a larger packing house was built.
The MacDonald family continued to operate the packing house until 1972, when it was purchased by a group of growers from Kelowna.
The business closed its doors for the last time in 1991, but the building still stands.

Image gallery mixed content!
Image galleries often rely on the <img> tag src attribute to display thumbnail images on the page, the anchor ( <a> ) tag href attribute is then used to load the full sized image for the gallery overlay. Normally <a> tags do not cause mixed content, but in this case the jQuery code overrides the default link behavior — to navigate to a new page — and instead loads the HTTP image on this page. While this content isn't blocked, modern browsers display a warning in the JavaScript console. This can be seen when the page is viewed over HTTPS and the thumbnail is clicked.

HTML
- November 24, 1995
- HTML 2.0 was published as IETF RFC 1866. Supplemental RFCs added capabilities:
- November 25, 1995: RFC 1867 (form-based file upload)
- May 1996: RFC 1942 (tables)
- August 1996: RFC 1980 (client-side image maps)
- January 1997: RFC 2070 (internationalization)
HTML draft version timeline[edit]
XHTML versions[edit]
XHTML is a separate language that began as a reformulation of HTML 4.01 using XML 1.0. It is no longer being developed as a separate standard.
- XHTML 1.0,[49] published January 26, 2000, as a W3C Recommendation, later revised and republished August 1, 2002. It offers the same three variations as HTML 4.0 and 4.01, reformulated in XML, with minor restrictions.
- XHTML 1.1,[50] published May 31, 2001, as a W3C Recommendation. It is based on XHTML 1.0 Strict, but includes minor changes, can be customized, is reformulated using modules from Modularization of XHTML, which was published April 10, 2001, as a W3C Recommendation.
- XHTML 2.0 was a working draft, but work on it was abandoned in 2009 in favor of work on HTML5 and XHTML5.[51][52][53] XHTML 2.0 was incompatible with XHTML 1.x and, therefore, would be more accurately characterized as an XHTML-inspired new language than an update to XHTML 1.x.
- An XHTML syntax, known as "XHTML5.1", is being defined alongside HTML5 in the HTML5 draft.[54]
Markup[edit]
HTML markup consists of several key components, including those called tags (and their attributes),
character-based data types, character references and entity references. HTML tags
most commonly come in pairs like

and

, although some represent empty elements and so
are unpaired, for example
. The first tag in such a pair
is the start tag, and the second is the end tag (they are also called opening tags
and closing tags).
Another important component is the HTML document type declaration, which triggers standards mode rendering.
The following is an example of the classic Hello world program, a common test employed for comparing programming languages, scripting languages and markup languages. This example is made using 9 lines of code:
Paragraphs:

Paragraph 1

Paragraph 2

Line breaks:

. The difference between

and

is that "br" breaks a line
without altering the semantic structure of the page, whereas "p" sections the page into paragraphs. Note also that "br" is an empty
element in that, although it may have attributes, it can take no content and it may not have an
end tag.

This
 is a paragraph
 with
 line breaks

This is a link in HTML. To create a link the
tag is used.
The href=
attribute holds the URL address of the link.
A link to Wikipedia!
Comments:

Comments can help in the understanding of the markup and do not display in the webpage.
There are several types of markup elements used in HTML:
- Structural markup indicates the purpose of text
- For example,

Golf

establishes "Golf" as a second-level heading. Structural markup does not denote any specific rendering, but most web browsers have default styles for element formatting. Content may be further styled using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).[57] - Presentational markup indicates the appearance of the text, regardless of its purpose
- For example,
boldface
indicates that visual output devices should render "boldface" in bold text, but gives little indication what devices that are unable to do this (such as aural devices that read the text aloud) should do. In the case of bothbold
anditalic
, there are other elements that may have equivalent visual renderings but that are more semantic in nature, such asstrong text
andemphasised text
respectively. It is easier to see how an aural user agent should interpret the latter two elements. However, they are not equivalent to their presentational counterparts: it would be undesirable for a screen-reader to emphasize the name of a book, for instance, but on a screen such a name would be italicized. Most presentational markup elements have become deprecated under the HTML 4.0 specification in favor of using CSS for styling. - Hypertext markup makes parts of a document into links to other documents
- An anchor element creates a hyperlink in the
document and its
href
attribute sets the link's target URL. For example, the HTML markup,Wikipedia
, will render the word "Wikipedia" as a hyperlink. To render an image as a hyperlink, an "img" element is inserted as content into the "a" element. Like "br", "img" is an empty element with attributes but no content or closing tag.
.

Attributes[edit]
Most of the attributes of an element are name-value
pairs, separated by "=" and written within the start tag of an element after the element's name. The
value may be enclosed in single or double quotes, although values consisting of certain characters can
be left unquoted in HTML (but not XHTML) .[58][59] Leaving attribute values unquoted is considered unsafe.[60] In contrast with
name-value pair attributes, there are some attributes that affect the element simply by their presence
in the start tag of the element,[6] like the ismap
attribute for the img
element.[61]
There are several common attributes that may appear in many elements :
- The
id
attribute provides a document-wide unique identifier for an element. This is used to identify the element so that stylesheets can alter its presentational properties, and scripts may alter, animate or delete its contents or presentation. Appended to the URL of the page, it provides a globally unique identifier for the element, typically a sub-section of the page. For example, the ID "Attributes" inhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML#Attributes
- The
class
attribute provides a way of classifying similar elements. This can be used for semantic or presentation purposes. For example, an HTML document might semantically use the designationclass="notation"
to indicate that all elements with this class value are subordinate to the main text of the document. In presentation, such elements might be gathered together and presented as footnotes on a page instead of appearing in the place where they occur in the HTML source. Class attributes are used semantically in microformats. Multiple class values may be specified; for exampleclass="notation important"
puts the element into both the "notation" and the "important" classes. - An author may use the
style
attribute to assign presentational properties to a particular element. It is considered better practice to use an element'sid
orclass
attributes to select the element from within a stylesheet, though sometimes this can be too cumbersome for a simple, specific, or ad hoc styling. - The
title
attribute is used to attach subtextual explanation to an element. In most browsers this attribute is displayed as a tooltip. - The
lang
attribute identifies the natural language of the element's contents, which may be different from that of the rest of the document. For example, in an English-language document:
Oh well, c'est la vie, as they say in France.

The abbreviation element, abbr
, can be used to demonstrate some of these attributes :
HTML
This example displays as HTML; in most browsers, pointing the cursor at the abbreviation should display the title text "Hypertext Markup Language."
Most elements take the language-related attribute dir
to specify text direction, such as
with "rtl" for right-to-left text in, for example, Arabic, Persian or Hebrew.[62]
Character and entity references[edit]
As of version 4.0, HTML defines a set of 252 character entity references and a set of 1,114,050 numeric character references, both of which allow individual characters to be written via simple markup, rather than literally. A literal character and its markup counterpart are considered equivalent and are rendered identically.
The ability to "escape" characters in this way allows for the characters <
and
&
(when written as <
and &
, respectively) to be
interpreted as character data, rather than markup. For example, a literal <
normally
indicates the start of a tag, and &
normally indicates the start of a character entity
reference or numeric character reference; writing it as &
or
&
or &
allows &
to be included in the content
of an element or in the value of an attribute. The double-quote character ("
), when not
used to quote an attribute value, must also be escaped as "
or
"
or "
when it appears within the attribute value itself.
Equivalently, the single-quote character ('
), when not used to quote an attribute value,
must also be escaped as '
or '
(or as '
in HTML5 or XHTML documents[63][64]) when it appears within the attribute value itself.
If document authors overlook the need to escape such characters, some browsers can be very forgiving and
try to use context to guess their intent. The result is still invalid markup, which makes the document
less accessible to other browsers and to other user
agents that may try to parse the document for search
and indexing purposes for example.
Escaping also allows for characters that are not easily typed, or that are not available in the
document's character encoding, to be
represented within element and attribute content. For example, the acute-accented e
(é
),
a character typically found only on Western European and South American keyboards, can be written in any
HTML document as the entity reference é
or as the numeric references é
or é
, using characters that are available on all keyboards and are supported in
all character encodings. Unicode character encodings such as
UTF-8 are compatible with all modern browsers and allow direct
access to almost all the characters of the world's writing systems.[65]
Data types[edit]
HTML defines several data types for element content, such as script data and stylesheet data, and a plethora of types for attribute values, including IDs, names, URIs, numbers, units of length, languages, media descriptors, colors, character encodings, dates and times, and so on. All of these data types are specializations of character data.
Document type declaration[edit]
HTML documents are required to start with a Document Type Declaration (informally, a "doctype"). In browsers, the doctype helps to define the rendering mode—particularly whether to use quirks mode.
The original purpose of the doctype was to enable parsing and validation of HTML documents by SGML tools based on the Document Type Definition (DTD). The DTD to which the DOCTYPE refers contains a machine-readable grammar specifying the permitted and prohibited content for a document conforming to such a DTD. Browsers, on the other hand, do not implement HTML as an application of SGML and by consequence do not read the DTD.
HTML5 does not define a DTD; therefore, in HTML5 the doctype declaration is simpler and shorter:[66]
<!DOCTYPE html>
An example of an HTML 4 doctype
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
This declaration references the DTD for the "strict" version of HTML 4.01. SGML-based validators read the DTD in order to properly parse the document and to perform validation. In modern browsers, a valid doctype activates standards mode as opposed to quirks mode.
In addition, HTML 4.01 provides Transitional and Frameset DTDs, as explained below. Transitional type is the most inclusive, incorporating current tags as well as older or "deprecated" tags, with the Strict DTD excluding deprecated tags. Frameset has all tags necessary to make frames on a page along with the tags included in transitional type[citation needed].
Semantic HTML[edit]
Semantic HTML is a way of writing HTML that emphasizes the meaning of the encoded information over its
presentation (look). HTML has included semantic markup from its inception,[67] but has also included presentational markup, such as

,
and
tags. There are also the
semantically neutral span and div tags. Since the
late 1990s when Cascading Style
Sheets were beginning to work in most browsers, web authors have been encouraged to avoid the
use of presentational HTML markup with a view to the separation of presentation and content.[68]
In a 2001 discussion of the Semantic Web, Tim Berners-Lee and others gave examples of ways in which intelligent software "agents" may one day automatically crawl the web and find, filter and correlate previously unrelated, published facts for the benefit of human users.[69] Such agents are not commonplace even now, but some of the ideas of Web 2.0, mashups and price comparison websites may be coming close. The main difference between these web application hybrids and Berners-Lee's semantic agents lies in the fact that the current aggregation and hybridization of information is usually designed in by web developers, who already know the web locations and the API semantics of the specific data they wish to mash, compare and combine.
An important type of web agent that does crawl and read web pages automatically, without prior knowledge of what it might find, is the web crawler or search-engine spider. These software agents are dependent on the semantic clarity of web pages they find as they use various techniques and algorithms to read and index millions of web pages a day and provide web users with search facilities without which the World Wide Web's usefulness would be greatly reduced.
In order for search-engine spiders to be able to rate the significance of pieces of text they find in HTML documents, and also for those creating mashups and other hybrids as well as for more automated agents as they are developed, the semantic structures that exist in HTML need to be widely and uniformly applied to bring out the meaning of published text.[70]
Presentational markup tags are deprecated in current HTML and XHTML recommendations and are illegal in HTML5.
Good semantic HTML also improves the accessibility of web documents (see also Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). For example, when a screen reader or audio browser can correctly ascertain the structure of a document, it will not waste the visually impaired user's time by reading out repeated or irrelevant information when it has been marked up correctly.
Delivery[edit]
HTML documents can be delivered by the same means as any other computer file. However, they are most often delivered either by HTTP from a web server or by email.

Fall term has been an interesting experience. It has mostly been exploring themes in Omeka and ways to manipulate them. As such, I got to learn php, HTML/CSS. My experience of learning php for Omeka was very different from any other programming languages I learned in the classroom. It was challenging not only because of the way Omeka uses php, integrated with CSS and HTML but also the way it relies heavily on libraries and in built functions. Most of the times I spent on was going through the Omeka documentations or its better version in the GitHub to get familiar with the in built functions. As such, it was important for me to prioritize learning specific sections of codes to manipulate themes in Omeka rather than the general approach in a classroom based learning. I think such approach applies to lot of other web platforms. Weekly challenges with theme manipulation from Austin was a really good motivation in terms of goal-based learning.
Overall, the experience has been enlightening. It has given me a glimpse of what I might expect in tech jobs. It has taught me ways to equip myself with relevant skills to solve specific problems.


It was important for us to analyze the performance of VXGI to assess its viability. So we decided to benchmark the heaviness of the algorithm and to test its behaviour in adverse conditions.
In a first approach, we decided to test the performance of the voxelization part of the algorithm. That being the opacity voxelization, refering to the voxelization of the scene around the camera, and the emittance voxelization, which is the voxelization of the surfaces directly hit by the light.
We benchmarked the opacity voxelization by rotating the camera around itself, which makes the clipmap anchor (center point of the scene being voxelized) change every frame.
The emittance voxelization was benchmarked by changing the position of the light every frame, which forces the whole emittance voxelization algorithm to be recalculated.
There was a thought behind the scenes we used, like the number of triangles and the actual setting of the scene (outside or inside, extensity).
The models used were:
The number of triangles of each scene can be seen below:
| Sponza | Ponte de Lima 3D | Rungholt | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of triangles | 262,267 | 1,064,210 | 6,704,264 |
The hardware used in the following benchmarks was a Nvidia Geforce GTX 950m.
To test the normal performance impact of rotating the camera, we decided to compare static and dynamic camera movement, with and without VXGI. We can see that the impact of rotating the camera is pratically null. But with VXGI, there is a noticeable impact, this is due to the recalculation of the opacity voxelization of part of the scene.
The speedup graph shows that without VXGI there is zero performance impact. With VXGI, the assessment is different.
From the left graph, we can also deduce that the opacity voxelization is more impactful in larger scenes, which makes sense because there are more surfaces to be voxelized.
From the right graph, we can deduce that the camera is less and less impactful on the performance for larger scenes. This is because, in larger scenes, the frames per second drop due to the dimension of the scene, so the camera performance impact is negligenciable.
To test the performance impact of light changes, we decided to compare dynamic and static light, with and without VXGI. There is a very small impact without VXGI, which only makes more noticeable the impact on the measurements with VXGI. When the light changes position, the Emittance Map is thrown away, and a new one is calculated, which explains the slower performance.
There is a slower performance than when we tested the opacity voxelization, but we can't deduce that one algorithm is heavier than another because in the opacity voxelization performance tests, only part of the structure is being recalculated, while in this emittance algorithm tests, everything is being recalculated. One solution is to rotate the scene instead of the camera, forcing everything to be recalculated, we weren't able to do.
For larger scenes, a dynamic light is gradually slower compared to a static one, but when comparing global illumination vs without global illumination, the performance impact gets smaller as the scene gets larger.
In order to mesure the memory spent (in RAM and graphics card dedicated memory) on Sponza, Ponte de Lima and Rungholt models we used GPU-Z. To get more realistic measurements we should use NVIDIA's libraries to perform the mesures.
The tests were made varying the ClipSizes (16, 32, 64, 128 and 256) and the number of Voxel Directions (3 or 6). Here you can learn more about these parameters.
| Voxel Directions | Clipmap Size | Graphics Card Dedicated Memory (MB) | RAM Memory (MB) | FPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
3 Graph | ||||
| 16 | 430 | 11 | 66 | |

| 128 | 972 | 10 | 55 | |
| 256 | 1843 | 2124 | 45 | 6 Table |
From graphs and tables above we can deduce that until a ClipSize of 256 (to both 3 and 6 Voxel Directions) the number of frames per second (FPS) and graphics card dedicated memory used are stabilized, but when we increase the value (ClipSize at 256) those values decrease and increase, respectively (FPS and graphics card dicated memory usage).

| 256 | 1936 | 2611 | 5 | 6 Table |
In the Rungholt model with 6 Voxel Directions and a ClipSize of 256 we can observe that we have 5 FPS, a number far more reduced that in Sponza and Ponte de Lima models.This was expected because, as was said before, the number of triangles in Rungholt model are 6 704 264, six times more than in Ponte de Lima model and twenty-five times more than in Sponza.
| Number of Cones | Sparsity | Frames Per Second (FPS) |

| 4 | 41 | |
| 32 | 1 | 5 |
| 4 | 29 | |
| 64 | 1 | 2 |
| 4 | 17 |
From the graph and the table above we can deduce that as the number of cones traced increases, the number of frames per second decrease. The sparse cone tracing by each pixel has a huge impact on performance in exchange for better image quality.
| Number of Cones | Sparsity | Frames Per Second (FPS) |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 1 | 24 |
| 4 | 45 | |
| 16 | 1 | 12 |
| 4 | 37 | |
| 32 | 1 | 5 |
| 4 | 26 | |
| 64 | 1 | 2 |
| 4 | 15 |
Cone Rotation reduces the image banding and it does not affect almost any performance. This parameter does nothing if the Cone Sparsity is at 1 because all pixels trace cones and this creates a more uniform image, without banding. Hence, the performance is the same with or without Cone Rotation.

d. An interface can’t extend anything but another interface
e. An interface can’t implement another interface/class
f. An interface must be declared with the keyword interface, while it’s legal that not declare an abstract class with abstract keyword
“this”: refers to currently executing object
final argument: keep the same value that the parameter had when it was passed into the method
the first concrete class must implement all abstract methods of the super class
synchronized: only applies to method; a method can be accessed by only one thread at a time
static:
a. exist independently of any instance created for the class
b. static members exist before new instance of a class, and there will be only one copy of a static member regardless of the number of instances of that class
c. all instances of a given class share the same value for any given static variable
constructor:
a. same name as class name
b. no return type
c. cannot be static (since it is associated with object instantiation)
d. cannot be final/abstract (since cannot be overriden)
enum: a special kind of class, it can be used to restrict a variable to have one of only a few pre-defined values, which is good to reduce bugs.
a. defined in different places(inside or outside a class), different ways to access it.
b. like other class, could have constructor, instance variables, methods, etc.
c. constructor:
I. can never invoke enum constructors directly, and the constructor is invoked automatically with arguments you define after the constant value II. can define more than one arguments to the constructor (can overload)
d. has static method: values(), returns array of the enum’s values
eg:
enum CoffeeSize { //4, 8, 10 are passed to the constructor SMALL(4), BIG(8), HUGE(10); CoffeeSize(int ounces) { this.ounces = ounces; } private int ounces; public int getOunces() { return ounces; } }
p.s “final” is the only modifer could be used to local variables

[Solved] Advanced Cash On Delivery App By Shopify
Shopify had earlier released an app called Advanced Cash On Delivery App
which is crafted for
Indian merchants, where COD is widely used payment method. The app is enriched with features like
- set a price range for cash on delivery orders.
- specify the postal codes where you want to offer cash on delivery.
- create custom shipping rates to all cash on delivery orders.
- enter a custom thank you message for cash on delivery orders.
- add an availability checker to your store’s theme and allow your customers to check Cash on Delivery eligibility for their postal code.
Issue with Advanced Cash On Delivery
So, what is the issue with Advanced Cash On Delivery app?
There are three stages in the checkout for Shopify.
- Customer Information
- Shipping Method
- Payment Method
At the shipping method stage, there is a choice for the customer to choose the shipping method which can be
- Standard Shipping
- COD Shipping
If a customer chooses COD Shipping
which includes some COD handling charges of say Rs.100, post this stage, the customer is taken to the Payment Method stage. Here, the choices shown are Online Payment Method
like Credit Card, Net Banking, Debit Card, Wallets etc. along with Cash On Delivery
as another option. This may be confusing to the customer, asking them to choose one of the payment method again. We did encounter quite a lot of customers who were stuck at this stage and not everybody is tech-savvy.
Inorder to customzie the checkout flow we have to be a Shopify Plus customer and not every has that Plan. So this is what we did - a hack!!
Refer the following images for the current scenario.
Solution
Refer the following images for the corrected flow of control.
Additionally, we have removed applying discount code on the final stage - PaymentMethod
.
We have to insert the following code in the admin console.
Goto Sales Channels
> Online Store
> Preferences
> Google Analytics
> Additional Google Analytics Javascript
. In the <script></script>
, please add the following snippet.
Note : If you have google analytics script already, please make sure that you enter the following script after that.
Customization required in the script :
- Shipping Method Name
Our Shipping Method names looks like COD Shipping · Rs. 60.00
and Standard Shipping · Rs. 40.00
. Please make changes accordingly in if(shippingMethod == 'COD Shipping · Rs. 60.00') {
and if(shippingMethod == 'Standard Shipping · Rs. 40.00') {
- Payment Gateway Numbers
If you right click on the page of image PaymentMethod-4
and say Inspect Element
, you can fetch the gateway number.Look for data-subfields-for-gateway=
number. This will be the number related to Online Payment Method
. In our case it is 122746626
, you have to replace just the number with your payment gateway number for online payment in 4 places. There will be one more number associated with Cash On Delivery
. In our case, it is 122299010
. You may have to replace that number with your gateway number for COD in 3 places of the script.
If you are technically challenged or have issues in setting this up, feel free to shoot an email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to fix this flow.
Happy Shipping! :)

Hi! My name is Christopher Chou and welcome to my blog!
Who I Am
I am currently a Junior at Washington High School. I am looking to study Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University.
I currently make Youtube videos on subjects like Machine Learning and Deep Learning and hope to expand to Website and Application Development.
I am the president of the Data Science Club at my school and hold various leadership positions in National Honors Society and Physics Club.
I am a Taekwondo enthusiast and have won various state and national medals.
On this website, you can expect to see me post about different advice whether it be Physics, Computer Science, or life-related.
Hobbies
Outside of studying, I sometimes enjoy playing video games. I used to play Overwatch and Fortnite but now I'm on Valorant which is an amazing new FPS by Riot Games.
I love watching MMA and the UFC. My favorite fighter currently is Zabit Magomedsharipov because of his Taekwondo-oriented style. I also like fighters like Khabib Nurmageomedov and Israel Adesanya.
I also like watching movies from time to time such as the Marvel series or historical films like 1917 but the weird thing is I never really watched any Disney Movies.
