PRA's "First Lady" Carrie. Debuts a New Visual for 'Pharmakon' Track "Diet Coke"
A highlight of her debut project.
by Patrick MontesContinuing to support her debut EP Pharmakon, the “first lady” of the ALLBLACK- and Offset Jim-helmed Play Runners Association — a Bay Area-based collective of talented artists — Carrie. is introducing a new music video for one of the aforementioned project’s highlights, “Diet Coke.” Notably, Carrie.’s new visual was put together by Stacking Memories, the same director responsible for equally-impressive clips from ALLBLACK, Offset Jim and others.
“The song’s about the start of a relationship, and the video is about its end,” Carrie. explains in a brief statement, breaking down today’s release.
“As I started writing music, heartbreak and dependency on another person were always at the tip of my tongue,” Carrie. previously revealed with us, sharing some insight into where her mind was at when she launched her career as a musician. “At the time, I was finding myself through my relationships and realizing a person can become synonymous for medicine, poison, or both depending on my mental.”
You can take a look at the new music video for Carrie.’s Pharmakon record “Diet Coke” above, while the Pharmakon EP is available for streaming via Apple Music, Spotify and similar platforms.


Mom, I'm Not Done Yet...
| DOSE: |
500 mg |
insufflated |
Cocaine |
(powder / crystals) |
First off, I am 17 years old and do a few drugs on some kind of basis, including: marijauna (almost every day), painkillers (when available, seldomly), and DXM (maybe once or twice a month). Also, I would like to state that my mother frowns upon any drug use, whatsoever. That being said, on to my first cocaine experience.
So I had been wanting to try coke for about 2 months prior to this experience and had finally set a date. It was Thursday, December 29th, a few days before New Year's and my mom was at work. I figured it would be the perfect chance to do some coke with a couple friends, as my mom usually works til late hours in the night. Well, this night she came home a little early, about 3 hours before expected...
Me and two friends had decided to get 2g and that we would do it at my house due to ideal conditions. I went and got the 2g around 3:00 pm. I got it for about $100 and was told by a reliable source that it was pretty good. I got 1 g for me and 1 for them. They said they'd pay me their half when the got to my house. Well, something happened and they couldn't make it. So I'm stuck with 2g of coke only 1 of which is mine and I'm down 50 bucks. Needless to say I was very dissapointed. However, I was deadset on doing coke that night and decided to proceed without them. A few other friends had stopped by and they had maybe a cut of tree. I figured we would all just chill and stuff.
I did my first line around 7:00 pm. It was amazing. Within minutes my nose was numb. It was the coolest feeling ever. I waited a few minutes and did another. Awesome. Being a regularly shy and non-outgoing person, I was amazed that I could not stop talking. I felt so friendly. I loved it.  I decided to just go out on the porch for a cigarette. I couldn't stand not talking though. So I decided to call someone. I would call completely random people, people I seldom call, just to talk. As one person grew annoyed and ended our conversation I would call another.  All I could think is 'I am skiiiiied.'
I felt like I had so much energy that I thought it would be a good idea to go for a run. I went outside and ran around my block in like, honestly 1 minute. I just ran until my lungs hurt. I came back inside to do another line. It was maybe 8:30 by now. I needed some more cigarettes so I got one of my friends to drive me to the local gas station. When we got back I went to cut another line. Right as I was about to blow it. I turn my head and what do I see? My mom had just walked in the door. All I could think was 'Holy fuck, I am fucked. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.' I hurried and did my best to hide the coke. But, when she walked in my dining room (where I had been doing it) she looked at me and then at the table. She found about 2 grams of tree laying on the table. She was furious. She saw that I had my hands pressed tightly on the table. One hand covering up 2 rocks and the other covering the line, card and straw.
A conversation with her went something like this.

I shake my head.
She proceeds to go back to the kitchen to take her coat off and such. I hurry and wipe the line off the table and throw the rocks, card and line in my pocket. She proceeds to flip out on me and I am so worried and worked up that I don't even know what to say. Keep in mind the fact that I am completely skiied. She tells me not to leave and that I am grounded indefinately. I haven't been grounded since I was like 12. She tells me she needs to go see someone uptown and to go upstairs and she will deal with this in the morning.
When she leaves I take what's left of my gram and put it back in the bag and hide it out in my garage. I went upstairs and just layed down. I put some music on to try and settle me down and all I wanted to do was sleep and forget about what just happened for a while. This normally simple task, however, is rather difficult for me to do with cocaine in my body. It was about 10:00 when she walked in the door. I layed in bed from 10:30 pm until 6:00 am wanting to just pass out. Also, the comedown was awful. I did say I wanted to just sleep but somehow all I could think of was going out to my garage to do some more blow.
I was grounded for a month, cut down to 2 weeks eventually for the weed. Ironically, I didn't even smoke any weed that night. I don't know how my mom didn't see the coke as it was rather obvious. I think it had something to do with her being a little boozed up (she's a bartender) and her having been a cokehead 20 years prior and not wanting to believe that I was doing what she was addicted to for awhile.
Overall, my first experience started out great and ended a living hell. I will and have done cocaine since. For, under the right circumstances it can be amazing. I love the friendly, outgoing, talkative feeling. I do plan on regualating my use to 1 every month and a half to two months though as I know it can be very addicting. Also, because I do not have the funds to do it all the time as I do not have a job or any source of steady income.

Conventions Used in This Toolbox¶
The idea is to make the regular use cases easy and the hard ones possible.
Common Vocabulary¶
A common vocabulary is important when different parties talk about complicated concepts to make sure everyone fully understands what the other is talking about.
Dimensions and Axes¶
Talking about dimensions in context of numpy arrays can be a bit confusing
especially when coming from a mathematical background. We use the following
convention: A point in the 3D Space (x, y, z)
is an array with one dimension
of length 3. An array of n
such points would be an array with two
dimensions, the first axis (dimension) with the length of n
, and the exond
axis with the length of 3
.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.arange(20)
>>> a
array([ 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 17, 18, 19])
>>> a.ndim
1 # one dimension (or axis)
>>> a.shape
(20,) # of lenght 20
>>> a = a.reshape(4, 5)
>>> a
array([[ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
[ 5, 6, 7, 8, 9],
[10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
[15, 16, 17, 18, 19]])
>>> a.ndim
2 # two dimensions
>>> a.shape
(4, 5) # of length 4 and 5
Data Structures¶
Wyrm uses one data structure wyrm.types.Data
to wrap the different data
during the processing. Data is very generic and thus flexible on purpose. It
can contain all kinds of data and tries to stay out of the way. Data is also
self-explaining in a sense that it does not only contain the raw data but also
meta-data about the axes, like names and units and the values of the axes (for a
complete overview on Data please refer to the documentation).
Most of Wyrm’s toolbox methods are expecting a Data
object as an argument.
Since Data
is very flexible and does not impose for example the order of the
axes, it is important to abide a certain convention:
- Continuous Data
- Continuous Data is usually (but not limited to) raw EEG data. It has two
axes:
[time, channel]
. Channel should always be the last axis, time the second last. - Epoched Data
Epoched Data is often Continuous Data split into several equally long chunks (epochs). Each epoch usually belongs to a class. The axes in this case are
[class, time, channel]
. Class should always be the first axis, time the second last and channel the last one. This is consistent with Continuos Data.Epoched Data can also contain different data than (e.g. data in the frequency domain), but the class axis should always be the first.
- Feature Vector
- In the later steps of the data processing, one often deals no more with
continuous data but with feature vectors. Feature Vectors are similar to
Epoched data, since each vector usually belongs to a class. Thus the
axes are:
[class, fv]
.
You are free to follow the convention or not. If you do, most methods will work out of the box – off course you still have to think if a certain method makes sense on the current object at hand.
If you create non-conventional Data
objects, the methods will still work (if
they make sense), but you have to provide the methods an extra parameter, with
the index of the axis (or axes).
Associating Samples to Timestamps¶
The time marks the time at the beginning of the sample.
Example:
Time [ms] 0 10 20 30 ...
| | | |
Sample [#] [ 0 ][ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ]
The interpretation is that sample 0 contains the data from [0, 10)
, sample 1
contains [10, 20)
, and so on.
Intervals¶
Whenever you encounter a time interval with a start and stop value, the
convention is [start, stop)
(i.e. start is included, stop is excluded).
Example:
Time [ms] 0 10 20 30 ...
| | | |
Sample [#] [ 0 ][ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ]
Interval (0, 30) returns the samples 0, 1, 2
Writing Toolbox Methods¶
Methods Must not Modify Their Arguments¶
The convention for this toolbox is, that toolbox methods must not alter their arguments. This is important as arguments to methods are passed by reference in Python and changing an attribute of a mutable object in a method which was passed as an argument, will automatically change the object outside of this method too.
Example:
>>> def do_something(arg):
... arg['foo'] = 2
>>> obj = {'foo' : 1, 'bar' : 2}
>>> do_something(obj)
>>> obj
{'bar': 2, 'foo': 2}
Using copy()
¶
Users rely on the methods to leave their arguments unmodified. To assist you
with that, the Data
object, provides a
copy()
method which returns a deep copy of the object.
This method also allows to selectively overwrite or create attributes in the new
copy of the object.
Example:
>>> def subsample(dat):
... # some calculations
... new_data = dat.data[::2]
... dat = dat.copy(data=new_data)
... return dat
Testing¶
To ensure that your new method does indeed not alter its arguments, you should write an appropriate unit test. The test should look like this:
- copy the argument before passing it to the method to test
- call the method to test
- check if the copy of the argument and the argument are still equal
def test_subsample_copy(self):
"""Subsample must not modify argument."""
cpy = self.dat.copy() # 1
subsample(self.dat) # 2
self.assertEqual(cpy, self.dat) # 3
Methods Must not Rely on a Specific Order of the Axes¶
Although there is a convention on how to represent Feature Vectors, Continuous-, and Epoched data, your methods must not rely on the specific order of the axes. Instead, your method should be written in a way that the position is chooseable as a parameter of your method. Furthermore those parameters should have default values with the defaults being the values following the convention.
For example, let’s assume the new method subsample
, which modifies data on
the time-axis of the argument. Usually the time-axis is the second last one in
Continuous- and Epoched data
We define our method with a default timeaxis
parameter set to -2
:
def subsample(dat, freq, timeaxis=-2):
# do the subsampling
...
So we can call the method without specifying it when we have conventional data:
dat = subsample(dat, 100)
or we call it specifying the time-axis on other data which follows not our convention but sub sampling yields still a meaningful result:
foo = subsample(foo, 100, timeaxis=7)
Off course writing your method this way is a bit more complicated, but nut very
much if you know how to index your arrays without the __getitem__
or []
operator.
Assume you want to take every second value from the last axis of your data:
d = np.arange(20).reshape(4,5)
d = d[..., ::2]
How do you rewrite this in a way that the axis is arbitrary? One option is to
use numpy.take()
which applies an array of indices on axis:
# create an index array with indices of the elements in `timeaxis`
idx = np.arange(d.shape[timeaxis])
# take only every second (0, 2, 4, 6, ...)
idx = idx[::2]
# apply this index array on the last axis of d
d = d.take(idx, timeaxis)
Be careful not to apply boolean indexing Arrays with numpy.take()
, for
that use numpy.compress()
, which does the same like take just with
boolean arrays.
Another way to achieve the same is to use slice()
and create tuples for
indexing dynamically:
idx = [slice(None) for i in d.ndims]
idx[timeaxis] = slice(None, None, 2)
# idx is now equivalent to [:, ::2]
d = d[idx]
This is possible since a[:, ::2]
is the same as
a[slice(None), slice(None, None, 2)]
and the fact that a[x, y]
is just
syntactic sugar for a[[x, y]]
.
Sometimes it might be necessary to insert a new axis in order to make numpy’s
broadcasting work properly. For that use numpy.expand_dims()
Testing¶
To test if your method really works with nonstandard axes, you should write a swapaxes-test in the unit test for your method. The test usually looks like this:
- swap axes of your data
- apply your method to the swapped data
- un-swap axes of the result
- test if the result is equal to the result of applying your method to the original data
def test_subsample_swapaxes(self):
"""subsample must work with nonstandard timeaxis."""
dat = swapaxes(self.dat, 0, 1) # 1
dat = subsample(dat, 10, timeaxis=1) # 2
dat = swapaxes(dat, 0, 1) # 3
dat2 = subsample(self.dat, 10)
self.assertEqual(dat, dat2) # 4
Changelog¶
Version 1.1.0¶
This version mainly adds the new wyrm.apply_spatial_filter()
method, for
applying spatial filtering used in CSP, CCA, whitening, etc. All manual spatial
filtering has been replaced throughout the toolbox to use the new method
instead.

. One should usewyrm.processing.apply_spatial_filter()
instead
Bugfixes¶
- Fixed bug in
wyrm.processing.calculate_whitening_matrix()
, that incorrectly calculated the whitening matrix due to a missing transpose
Version 1.0.0¶
We bumped the version up to 1 without backwards-incompatible changes since the last version.

Ruby Hashes Versus JavaScript Objects
December 11, 2014
In Ruby, an object can be any data structure or value, from strings and ints, to arrays and hashes. Objects also understand certain methods, which are executable routines the object can trigger. Objects are instances of a class, which define groups of behavior and functionality. Classes can be written and modified to create objects with certain attributes and behaviors. In JavaScript, an object is a variable that contains many properties with many values. Let's break that down. The following code creates a variable named captain
.
var captain = "Katherine Janeway"
This variable points to a single value, in this case the string "Janeway". If we wanted to assign many values to the variable, it becomes an object. Each value is paired with a particular property. The syntax is as follows:
var captain = { name: "Katherine Janeway", ship: "USS Voyager", favorite drink: "coffee, black" }
As such, Javascript objects are variables too, but can contain many values. Above, captain
has many values ("Katherine Janeway", "USS Voyager", "coffee, black"). The values are paired with the particular property they describe (name, ship, favorite drink). Each property is written as a name, followed by a colon, followed by the value. Each property/value pair is separated by a comma. All property/value pairs are enclosed in curly braces.
To access the properties and the values inside JavaScript objects, one can use the dot notation or square brackets: captain.name
or captain[name]
. The difference between the two is how name
is interpreted. With dot notation, the part after the dot must be a property named in the object. With square brackets, the expression in the brackets is evaluated to get a property name. To create a new value for a property, use = after the call. The property's value will be replaced or a new property created if it does not exist.
Seeing a Javascript object and especially how values are accessed in those objects, it becomes apparent that Javascript objects are very similar to Ruby hashes. A hash in Ruby is a collection of objects (and is an object itself). It consists of key/value pairs. Any Ruby object can be a key or value. Let's create a hash consistent with the above captain
.
captain = { "name" => "Katherine Janeway", "ship" => "USS Voyager", "favorite drink" => "coffee, black"}
Above, the captain
hash contains keys ("name", "ship", "favorite drink") that point to their respective values ("Katherine Janeway", "USS Voyager", "coffee, black") using =>. Each key/value pair is separated with a comma, and all are enclosed in curly brackets. To access a value, square brackets are used: captain["favorite drink"]
will return "coffee, black"
. To add/modify a key/value pair, similar to JavaScript objects, use the = operator: captain["OTP"] = "Seven of Nine"
.
In conclusion, Ruby hashes and JavaScript objects are very similar conceptually. They both relay the same type of paired property/value information. They differ syntactically in their creation, but are strikingly similar with respect to accessing their values.

File Paths and URLs
Tags: Foundation, file, path, url
Class: URL
It's good to keep in mind that you can actually point to a file or folder programmatically in three distinct ways:
- A URL
- A String containing a file path -- typically starting with a forward slash to indicate the system root.
- A String representation of a URL pointing to the file location, typically starting with 'file:///'.
(And this is not even counting relative paths or path components!)
See the code snippets for examples of how to convert back and forth between these representations.
Link: Apple Developer Docs
Sample Code:
// Let's start with a URL we got back from NSOpenPanel or something like that
guard let urlOne = openPanel.url else { return }
// Now let's get the path representation
let path = urlOne.path
// path == "/Users/hbowie/Dropbox"
// Now let's get the full URL representation
let urlString = urlOne.absoluteString
// urlString == "file:///Users/hbowie/Dropbox"
let urlTwo = URL(fileURLWithPath: path)
// Now urlTwo == urlOne
let urlThree = URL(urlString)
// Now urlThree == urlOne
let urlFour = URL(path)
// urlFour == nil

Atticus is a mixed breed dog
We swabbed Atticus's cheek and sent it off to get tested by Wisdom Pannel. His ancestry is listed here from strongest inheritance to weakest.
- Australian Shepherd
- Australian Cattle Dog
- American Staffordshire Terrier
- Chinese Shar Pei
The Australian Shepherd, often known simply as the "Aussie", is a medium-sized breed of dog that was, despite its name, developed on ranches in the Western United States, during the 19th century.
The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD), or simply Cattle Dog, is a breed of herding dog originally developed in Australia for droving cattle over long distances across rough terrain. The Australian Cattle Dog is a medium-sized, short-coated dog that occurs in two main colour forms. It has either brown or black hair distributed fairly evenly through a white coat, which gives the appearance of a "red" or "blue" dog.
The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as Amstaff (in the United States) or simply Stafford, is a medium-sized, short-coated American dog breed. It is one of several breeds commonly known as pit bulls.[2][3] In the early part of the twentieth century the breed gained social stature and was accepted by the American Kennel Club in 1936.[4] The name was changed to reflect difference from the Staffordshire Bull Terrier of England.
The Chinese Shar-Pei, is a breed of dog known for its distinctive features of deep wrinkles and a blue-black tongue. The breed originates from China. The English name (沙皮, pinyin: shā pí; probably derived from British spelling of the Cantonese equivalent, sā pèih), which translates to "sand skin" and refers to the texture of its short, rough coat. As puppies, Shar Pei have numerous wrinkles, but as they mature, these loosen and spread out as they "grow into their skin". Shar Pei were named in 1978 as one of the world's rarest dog breeds by TIME magazine and the Guinness World Records. Although the Shar Pei has been identified as a basal breed that predates the emergence of the modern breeds in the 19th century, the American Kennel Club did not recognize it as a breed until 1992.

1 Introduction
This simulator is written in Javascript and uses Euler's method to compute derivatives and integrals. There are several other functions to make it convienient to simulate various physical systems.
2 Overview
The user language of this simulator is also Javascript. Any simulator specific functions are called by Sim.<function>. Any other standard Javascript functions and classes can be used as well.
2.1 Variables
All of the user variables are stored in two objects called ins and outs.
ins is the state of the simulator from the previous step.
outs is the state of the simulator as a result of the current step.
A '#' can be prepended in front of any variable name so that ins or outs is automatically prepended depending on if it is assignment or not. An example is shown below.
Original Code:
#output = #foo + #bar;
Processed Code:
outs.output = ins.foo + ins.bar;
This text substitution is to reduce or eliminate the need to explicitly specify if a simulation variable is an output or input.
An example of the usage is shown below. The meaning is more clearly conveyed.
#velocity = Sim.integral(#acceleration);
2.2 Built in variables
ins.t: The current time since the beginning of the simulation.
ins.dt: The Δt of the simulation.
2.3 Simulation Flow
- The init code is run once when the simulation is started.
- The step code is run once for each time step.
- All of the outs variables are copied to ins between each time step.
- The end code is run once when the simulation is stopped.
3 Example Simulation
This example simulation simulates a fly wheel and controls it with a PIDF loop. Simply save the file and upload it to the simulator.
4 Detailed Function Documentation
4.1 Sim.log(text)
Logs text into the log tab of the simulator.
Return: None
4.2 Sim.integral(value, min, max)
Integrates value over time. If min and max are passed in and defined, the output value of the integral will be limited between min and max. The min and max can be set seperately as well.
Return: The current value of the integral.
4.3 Sim.derivative(value)
Finds the derivative of value at each point in time.
Return: The current derivative of the input
4.4 Sim.number_output(position, label, value)
Creates a text field number output at position with label displaying value.
Position = 'top: <dist from top>px; left: <dist from left>px;'
Return: None
4.5 Sim.number_input(position, label, initial_value)
Creates a text field number input at position with label with initial_value. The control is only set to initial_value once at the beginning of the simulation.
Position = 'top: <dist from top>px; left: <dist from left>px;'
Return: The value that is entered into this control.
4.6 Sim.graph(position, label, limits, inputs)
Creates a graph output that has settings that can be dynamically modified. The only parameter that cannot be modified at run time is the number of plots drawn.

Gaussian distribution

      The Monte Carlo method (or simulation) was used
in "A Practical Guide to Wavelet Analysis"
to verify that the wavelet power spectrum was indeed chi-square distributed.
The method was also used to determine the empirical formulae for
time-averaging and scale-averaging (paper Sections 5a and 5b).
      The Monte Carlo method (or simulation) is a statistical method for finding out the answer to a problem that is too difficult to solve analytically, or for verifying the analytical solution. It is called Monte Carlo because of the gambling casinos in that city, and because the Monte Carlo method is related to rolling dice.
|
Chi-square distribution
| |
      Here's an example:
If you roll two dice, then the chances of getting a total of "two" (a "one" on each) are 1 in 36. This is easy to figure out. But if you didn't know the answer, you could use the Monte Carlo method.  Eventually, your fraction of "two's" to "total rolls" will approach 1/36.

      In our paper, we wanted to verify that the
statistical distribution for the wavelet power was chi-square.
Here's the Monte Carlo method we used:

Run the statements in the right panel.
You can get the last generated Identity value by using the IDENTITY_VAL_LOCAL function. This returns the generated IDENTITY value for the last INSERT statement.
What you should see is two result sets in the bottom right panel. One of them displays the contents of the accounts_third table. The last value in the table is of interest and has a value of 'Lastone' in name column and a generated value in the acctno column. The other result set only has one value that is the same as the acctno in the accounts_third table.

We're a team of first-year students at Wellesley College who, along with our mentor, decided to create this page as our project for the Wellesley Hackathon 2015 because we're very passionate about seeing more women in tech, and specifically in games, one of the subsets of tech where women are most excluded. The media we consume affects all of us, and if women are poorly represented in media, it contributes to larger patterns of stigma. By including more women in the game-making process, we could greatly ameliorte how women are portrayed in games, but also how real women who work in the industry are treated by their peers.
  Getting more girls to game and code is super important to her -- so make sure to check out the Baby Gamers Starter Pack tab if you're interested!  After participating in this project of setting up a website on women in gaming, she learned a lot about gaming culture and would want to contribute on the journey that helps more girls find their passions in gaming.
Maxine is very excited to be in her CS111 class and is hoping to major in CS. She loves video games, especially open worlds like Sims and GTA5.
Daniela Kreimerman loves all her classes equally (though some more equally than others), but has yet to find anything she loves more than playing Cards Against Humanity with friends. That's about as far as she goes into gaming, too, but #gamergate annoyed her into caring about this topic because she's just a pest like that.
The mentor of the group and all around awesome person, she graduated Wellesley College in 2015 and is currently working for Microsoft.


THE IPHONE 6S FINALLY MAKES ITS TECH CARPET ENTRY
The moment has arrived, when Apple finally reveals its iPhone 6s smartphone. We have been covering all sorts of rumours and reports about this handset the moment we got wind of it. Price, display, specifications and software – we’ve heard it all, and now is that moment of truth where we find out what this hype is all about and most importantly, whether it’s been worth it. Their opening statement is this:
Let’s start with the most obvious – the price. Earlier reports suggested that the iPhone 6s would arrive at around 699 euros which is Rs.52,084 approximately, for the 16GB version, 799 euros which is Rs.59,529 approximately, for the 64GB version and 899 euros which is Rs.66,980 approximately for the 128GB version. Here are the final numbers: the 16GB version is priced at $199, the 64GB version is $299 and the 128GB version is $399.
Few exciting things we now know about the new iPhone is that they will feature animated wallpapers and that the Rose Gold colour variant we were anticipating is here! Now it’s up to you if you think rose gold is fashionable enough for you, because the ‘cool’ new iPhone definitely thinks it is.
It comes with a brand new glass encasing this time, with the Ion-X and not the usual Sapphire Glass, and a new Taptic Engine which can be used to navigate the UI.
So, it was said that the new iPhone will have an updated 3D Force Touch technology – meaning that the sensors would be taking into account three different types of touch rather than two. This is also true. Apple has confirmed the 3D Force Touch feature, that makes photos, emails, Messages, etc pop up on your display. You just need to press on an app to jump right into a feature. This feature also allows you to use apps and be active on them without even opening them.
They’ve also mentioned that the phone will be running on the new iOS 9 and the smartphone will come integrated with the new A9 chip.
Let’s talk about something that the iPhone is most applauded for – its camera. The iPhone 6 Plus has had an 8MP camera with an optical image stabilization feature that made it the phone with game changing photography abilities. Well, the iPhone 6s is better than that – it has an all new iSight 12MP camera with deep trench isolation. That’s it. iPhone just won. The 12MP camera will now allow you to record videos in 4K resolution.
That was the rear camera, but the iPhone’s front camera, which is as big a star as the primary camera, now comes at 5 megapixels and full HD resolution, allowing better FaceTime and selfie opportunities to users. The front camera also comes with a true tone Retina Flash feature. The 3D Touch feature also extends itself into the still camera pictures by animating the photos into video, called Live Photos, which can also have sound.


Families for Justice as Healing is organizing to shift power and resources away from policing and incarceration and into Black and Brown communities to address systemic and racist abandonment, disinvestment, and criminalization in Boston.
To move resources to meet the needs of Boston's residents, Families for Justice as Healing is making a set of demands for the new contact that the Mayor's office is negotiating RIGHT NOW with the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association.
One of those remands is to move details out of the Police Department.
Click on any place to learn how much cops earned from construction details in that area in 2019. Or explore individual details in depth by changing the data in the upper right.
We’ve all seen cops in yellow vests at construction sites, telephone and electric work, and other street work. These cops aren’t on duty. They are getting paid by private companies through the city to direct traffic. A state law passed in 2008 says that these jobs, like they are in every other state, are open to civilian flaggers.
Sources: The data here comes from the 2019 Employee Earning Report. the details data released on Woke Windows, and the city budgets. The median household income comes from the 2014-2018 US Census average. Boston 2010 Census tracts are from Analyze Boston.
70,610 of the 72,340 construction details reported for 2019 are represented in the choropleth map. 72,056 are represented as points. The Mapbox geocoder placed some addresses outside Boston and another 375 without any solid coordinates. Rather than manually correct these, I have omitted them from the map when necessary.

Each fighter is defined by 4 numerical values:
● Strength - used for attacks
● Cunning - used for attack and defense
● Speed - used for defense
● Fatigue - used to determine how close a fighter is to being knocked out.
Each fighter begins with strength, cunning, and speed at values of 12, and a fatigue of 30.
Before the fight begins, the computer will generate two new fighters, altering the base values in the following way:
● It will choose 2 values to increase and 2 values to decrease.
● It will modify strength, speed, and cunning each by a random number from 0 to 3.
● It will modify fatigue by a random number between 0 and 6.
The modified values should be considered the original values for each fighter.
During the round, each fighter must select whether to attack or defend. Under certain circumstances, a fighter can also attempt a finishing move. The user will choose by clicking a button. The computer will choose to attack or defend randomly unless it has the finishing move available. Then it will always choose the finishing move.
When a fighter attacks, it’s attack value is determined by the following:
Attack Value = (Strength + Speed + Cunning) / Random Integer from 1 to 6
This attack value is compared to the opponent's Defense Value. The Defense Value is determined by one of the following formula
If Defending…
Defense Value = (Speed + Cunning)
If NOT Defending
Defense Value = Speed + Random Integer from 1 to 6.
If the attack value is greater than the defense value, the opponent's fatigue is reduced by the difference.
Since both fighters are choosing to attack or defend at the same time, the moves are simultaneous. The results of each attack must be calculated before the final changes are made to the fighters.
If a fighter defends and does not take damage on that turn, it will recover 1-6 random fatigue points. Fatigue may never rise above the original level, but may go below 0.
If both players defend, then each gets a random number of fatigue points (1 - 6) back.
Update the display accordingly. All current and original values for both fighters must be visible on screen at all times.
In addition to Attack and Defend a player may attempt a Finishing Move under two conditions.
● If one fighter's fatigue is at least double the other fighter's fatigue, it may attempt a Finishing Move.
● If a fighter's fatigue is below zero, its opponent may attempt a Finishing Move.
A Finishing Move is a standard attack, but Cunning is not calculated into the formula. If it succeeds (would do more than 1 damage), the fighter performing the Finishing Move is the winner and the fight ends.
The Finishing Move option should only appear in the menu if a fighter is in a position to perform that action. Otherwise, the fighter will only be able to attack and defend. This may change multiple times during the fight.
The Attack Button will damage the opponent if your attack is higher than their defense
The defend button will defend yourself from your opponent


Review: Species II (1998) -- By Robert B. Marks
Just when we Science Fiction authors and fans thought that we were finally making headway in Hollywood with such films as the grossly underrated _The Postman_, the Hugo Award winning _Contact_ and the excellent _Dark City_, there comes a film that shows us where we stand. _Species II_ is one of those films.
Even watching it on pan-and-scan video (a rare occurrence for me, but a friend picked it out), I came out feeling insulted and dirty. You see, not only am I a Speculative Fiction writer (albeit unpublished, but that will change soon), but I also consider myself an intelligent part of the human race.
_Species II_ was simply awful. However, in a Hollywood which just doesn't understand SF (and to realize the full extent of this misunderstanding, read Harlan Ellison's 1974 article _Somehow, I Don't Think We're in Kansas, Toto_), awful is somewhat forgivable. However, _Species II_ is more than just awful. It is awful and blatantly misogynistic.
Perhaps the best example to represent the entire film is the first scene with Natasha Hendridge. She plays Eve, a more docile version of Sil from the first movie. And, the first time the audience sees her, she is strapped naked into a chair, being lowered into a vat of corrosive gasses. This is later described by a general as "accommodations fit for a queen".
And it only gets worse. The plot, like in the first film, is virtually nonexistent. The first manned mission to Mars returns, and two of the three astronauts (one male, one female) are contaminated by a soil sample which takes over their DNA. This soil sample, by the way, contains alien DNA which comes to life after accidentally thawing, having been dead for millions of years (huh?!).
They return to Earth, and are then put into a sexual quarantine for 10 days (that's right; diseases don't bother the powers that be, but they can't let their astronauts have sex).  Every time he couples, his mate immediately begins to swell and have a fully developed eight-year-old burst out of her belly. And just to make sure we haven't missed the point, the corpses are often shown in all their gory detail.
Soon this trail of corpses is noticed, and Michael Madson's character joins the biologist from the first film (who, by the way, apparently has had a 180 degree change in her characteristics) in trying to hunt down this sexual predator.
And, to make matters worse, the film ends in such a way that there will definitely be a sequel.
All in all, _Species II_ was an offensive and unintelligent film. But I can say one good thing about it: it was better than _Plan 9 From Outer Space_. But not by much.
So, the final score: 0/5; absolutely nothing redeemable about this one.
-- The future has not been written, / The past is set in stone, And I am but a lonely wanderer, / With time as my only home. -- from _Demon's Vengeance_
Forthcoming: _Myth_ical Battlefields -- Computer Gaming World (early 1999) (working title) Speculations: Monolithic Proportions -- The United (early 1999)

LSCPU(1) User Commands LSCPU(1) NAME lscpu - display information on CPU architecture SYNOPSIS lscpu [-hpx] [-s directory] DESCRIPTION lscpu gathers CPU architecture information like number of CPUs, threads, cores, sockets, NUMA nodes, information about CPU caches, CPU family, model, bogoMIPS, byte order and stepping from sysfs and /proc/cpuinfo, and prints it in a human-readable format. It supports both online and offline CPUs. It can also print out in a parsable format, including how different caches are shared by different CPUs, which can be fed to other programs. OPTIONS -h, --help Print a help message. -p, --parse [=list] Print out in parsable instead of human-readable format. If the list argument is not given then the default backwardly com‐ patible output is printed. The backwardly compatible format uses two commas to separate CPU cache columns. If no CPU caches are identified, then the cache columns are not printed at all. The list argument is comma delimited list of the columns. Cur‐ rently supported are CPU, Core, Node, Socket, Book and Cache col‐ umns. If the list argument is given then always all requested col‐ umns are printed in the defined order. The Cache columns are sepa‐ rated by ':'. Note that the optional list argument cannot be separated from the option by a space, the correct form is for example '-p=cpu,node' or '--parse=cpu,node'. -s, --sysroot directory Use the specified directory as system root. This allows you to inspect a snapshot from a different system. -x, --hex Use hexadecimal masks for CPU sets (e.g. 0x3). The default is to print the sets in list format (e.g. 0,1). BUGS The basic overview about CPU family, model, etc. is always based on the first CPU only. Sometimes in Xen Dom0 the kernel reports wrong data. AUTHOR Cai Qian<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Karel Zak<EMAIL_ADDRESS>AVAILABILITY The lscpu command is part of the util-linux package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/. util-linux February 2011 LSCPU(1)

This post is a continuation of one of my previous posts -
TimeZone - Handling requests in client’s time zone in a rails app
It is recommended to visit that post before proceeding furthur on current post.
This post describes an enhanced solution of rails_browser_timezone gem.
Open issues with rails_browser_timezone -
-
The very first hit to the server from a browser does not pass the browser offsets, which means this request runs in either the default system timezone or the last known timezone from the DB.
-
This method does not help when the requests are received through APIs. APIs need to either explicitly pass browser off sets with each request or the requests run in the last known timezone which is persisted.
-
Some browsers take time to reflect upon the new timezone when client’s system time zone is changed. So, those few requests made meanwhile do not have the updated timezone.
Alternatives -
While looking at some alternatives to the previous approach all i could find was either to go with JS based timezone tracking or tracking the timezone based on the geo-location which can be obtained from the request’s IP address.
JS based timezone tracking is buggy when it comes to handling the time zone names on rails servers, as we know from the previous post. Though this can be fixed by mapping these time zones to rails’s timezone strings, we still have the problem that APIs cant use this method.
Hence, tracking the timezone based on geoip seems to be one good alternative. The only limitation of this approach is that, a user who has his system timezone different than his location’s timezone will still see the information in the location’s timezone.
This is just a decision based on your app and how you want to deal with it. So, wanted to write a gem with supports timezone tracking based on both browsers and geoip and leave the developers with the flexibility of deciding which method they want to use to choose this.
A comprehensive solution -
Keeping the above discussion up, tried to put together a gem called rails_client_timezone
which intends to solve all the above mentioned problems and gives developers the flexibility to choose how they want to track the time zone.
Source - https://github.com/udayakiran/rails_client_timezone
Please follow the README which helps to get started.
-
This gem reuses the logic from rails_browser_timezone gem to track browser based timezones.
-
It can track the timezone based on the ip with the help of geoip gem. A few tweaks were needed to this gem and had to put in efforts to map some of these timezone strings to match with the rails’s timezone strings.
-
This gem works smartly to track the timezone from ip if browser offsets are not present and it also lets the programmers set the needed preference. This is a key addition.
Explanation for modes -
This gem supports 3 modes which can optionally be configured by the developers. Default mode is :smart
. Blow is the explanation for modes.
:ip - Time zone will be detected based on the request’s ip address(using geoip gem’s logic)
:browser - Time zone will be detected based on browser utc offsets.
:smart - Time zone will be detected by browser if offsets are set or it falls back to ip(:browser mode first, which falls back to :ip mode).
Create a file in your initializers and set the ‘mode’ to your choice.
Keeping the geoip data upto date -
This is one minor limitation / update i think we will have to deal with while using this gem. This is needed only for :ip
and :smart
modes.
Geoip gem depends on geo data which consists of the information about the ips mapped to the geo locations. This database is consistent and up to date as of now, but in future to improve it’s accuracy and bring in the changes, we can update this any time. There are a number of websites which provide this data.
By default Geoip City db file is available in the data directory, to override that db file you can download it from Download geoip city database and place anywhere in your app. Create a file in your initializers and set the geo ip city db file path. This step is optional if you are good with the data provided by the gem.
Hope that this gem provides needed help for the rails developers in handling the issues with time zones.


This post describes the work done as a part of a course I took at School of Design, IIT Bombay . The name of the course is Interaction Media and Senses. The project was done during the cognitive phase of the course that involved Sensory, Cognitive and Social parts with Udayan and Vineet
The concentration of the session was developing a solution around the idea of the smart city in Indian context. The idea of a smart city is quite relevant in the data religious societies we live in today. We started by asking ourselves questions on the very basis of a smart city. What is the need? Who will benefit from it? Could it become a parallel data city? Can we pre-empt the behaviors while staying ethical? What are the ethics of using data? Why would the user share her data? Clouded with these questions, we had a slow but informed start in the project. We tried to understand the city better by travelling on the Mumbai local iteratively and talking to various people and their ideas about future, present and expectations.
We found two predominant views to the smart city systems:
The first one is a more capitalist view point and may be useful in higher affording economies.It considers high affinity to technology with citizens. It can be a W.E.I.R.D concept and is essentially top down. The second view is a bottoms up approach. It considers making a people smart would make a city smart. More sustainable and holistic in approach and is people driven.
Restructured Design Brief
How might we create an interface that enables Mumbai citizens to talk to the city ?
We concentrated on our efforts to make a city smarter by making its citizens more active about their responsibility towards the city. The design goals were :
Some of the concepts we explored were:
We decided with a concept of a Chat bot on existing messaging apps like whatapp, messenger or telegram. The chatbot was chosen as users on these platforms are present in large numbers (Network effect), they are used to the interface and they in-general did not have interest in installing separate app for this purpose.
Let us understand this with a scenario by Udayan :
The overall concept map was as follows :
The information architect was like:
We tried to understand the conversations with the chatbot. To do the same we made prototype flow charts.
Then we moved on to the UI development. Initially rough sketches were done. They grayscale UI elements were prototyped and later final UI was made in sketch.
We later prototyped some of the functionality in the app using a telegram bot. We used the botAPI from telegram to generate responses to conversations. They bot could perform simple operations like marking a place on map using mapbox and engaging in a conversation with the user. This exercise helped us evaluate the ground truth on the feasibility of the app.

Contributions The scenario was worked on by Udayan with some help from me on the script. The UI was worked upon by sketch-master ,Vineet and Udayan. The final prototype with telegram app as surrogate was implemented by me.
Cheers,
Rohit

June Lake Loop
The June Lake Loop begins just five miles south of Lee Vining, on US 395, 12 miles east of Tioga Pass. The 16 mile loop goes by four lakes and in the southern part you will discover the charming town of June Lake. In my opinion this is the gem of the entire Eastern Sierra. Click on any photograph to see more details. Contact me or purchase my book if you plan to visit.

Warriors' Curry 'unlikely' to return this season: report
Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry is “unlikely” to return this season, according to a story Friday from Ric Bucher of Bleacher Report.
Curry underwent surgery on his broken left hand last Friday. At that time, the team announced it would update his status in three months, which could have put Curry back on the court around the All-Star Game.
“A team source says the fracture was worse than originally thought, and it’s unlikely that he plays again this season,” Bucher wrote.
This season was already a hard slide for the Warriors, who have appeared in the NBA Finals in five consecutive seasons — winning in 2015, 2017 and 2018 — but are off to a 2-6 start. Among other issues, they lost Kevin Durant to free agency and Klay Thompson is out for the season due to a torn ACL suffered in the Finals.
Curry, a two-time MVP, suffered the injury against the Phoenix Suns on Oct. 30 after landing hard on his hand on a drive into the lane that ended with a collision with Suns center Aron Baynes.
Curry, 31, averaged 20.3 points in the first four games of the season and has a career average of 23.5 points per game.
Golden State plays Friday night at Minnesota.
