When you apply for a first UK passport, we check your claim to British nationality.
In most cases your claim depends on where and when you were born, as well as your parents' circumstances.
There are 6 types of British nationality – British citizenship is the most common. You can check if you're a British citizen online.
In most cases you'll be a British citizen if you were born in the UK before 1 January 1983.
You won’t automatically be a British citizen if you were born in the UK. Your claim to nationality also depends on your parents' circumstances.
If you were born before July 2006 and your parents weren't married or in a civil partnership, you can only claim nationality through your mother or parent 1.
To claim British citizenship, 1 of your parents at the time of your birth must have been either:
‘Settled’ means you can stay in the UK without any time restrictions, for example you have indefinite leave to remain.
In most cases you'll be a British citizen if you were a citizen of the UK and Colonies (CUKC) on 31 December 1982 and had right of abode in the UK.
'Right of abode' means you:
In most cases you'll be a British citizen if:
If you were born before July 2006 and your parents weren't married or in a civil partnership, you can only claim nationality through your mother or parent 1.
You can only claim British citizenship through your father or parent 2, who must have been either:
Your parents must have been married or in a civil partnership at the time of your birth, or at any point after that.
You can only claim British citizensip through your parents. They must have been either:
If you were born before July 2006 and your parents weren't married or in a civil partnership, you can only claim nationality through your mother or parent 1.
Check the rules if your circumstances are different, or you think you may be eligible for another type of British nationality.

Create a template folder layout:
mkdir zen-theme-dev
mkdir zen-theme-dev/confluence-sa
echo "atlas-run-standalone --product confluence" > zen-theme-dev/confluence-sa/run.sh
mkdir zen-theme-dev/zen-mythemename
This gives a sub directory to develop your theme in and another for your Confluence testing. It also adds a simple startup script for a stand alone version of Confluence using the Atlassian SDK.
In zen-theme-dev/zen-mythemename create the standard zen theme directory structure and initialise git.
Add a pre commit hook in zen-theme-dev/zen-mythemename/.git/hooks/pre-commit:
#!/bin/sh
sh ./deploy.sh
Add a deploy script at zen-theme-dev/zen-mythemename/deploy.sh:
# This file is run as a pre-commit hook ...
#
# $ more .git/hooks/pre-commit
# #!/bin/sh
# sh ./deploy.sh
#
# It...
# 1. Packages the Zen theme bundle as a zip file
# 2. Assumes that there's a confluence-sa in a sibling of the parent directory
THEME=mythemename
echo "Packaging..."
rm ../$THEME.zip
zip -qr ../$THEME.zip brand.properties icons images fonts css scripts
echo "Deploying..."
cp -r ./* ../confluence-sa/amps-standalone/target/confluence/home/zen/brands/$THEME/.
echo "Done."
Start up Confluence for development:
cd zen-theme-dev/confluence-sa
sh ./run.sh
Make sure you have the Zen theme plugin installed on your development Confluence.
Now develop your Zen theme. On every commit, your change will be pushed to the development server.

Adding Google Analytics for Jekyll
June 22, 2014
I have to admit that Jekyll is a really great platform. No wonder since it has been developed by the founder of Github, Tom Preston-Werner.
However, it lacks of few features that unfortunately have become the mandatory requirements for web. Google Analytics and SEO are two highlights among the other features.
Jekyll Bootstrap?
Most people get confused when they use Jekyll Bootstrap which you can automatically insert the Google Analytics code, but for other themes, you can't because some not include the Google Analytics feature in it. In this post, I'll try to explain how to add the Google Analytics in most Jekyll themes and not Jekyll Bootstrap.
The steps are fairly straight forward:
- Get your Analytics Code
- Identify which base HTML template that includes the head script
- Paste the Analytics Code
Let's Do It
Analytics Code
You can get your Analytics code by logging into Google Analytics and get the code under the Admin tab and find "Tracking Info".
Under the option, you will see "Tracking Code" and the code that you will use.
Head Base HTML
This part is quite tricky for you that don't understand Jekyll layout theming. But, you can identify which file by looking under the:
_includes
This folder holds all layouting in Jekyll. You can open one by one and search for any file that contains this directive:
<head>
....
</head>
Paste The Analytics Code
Now you can paste the code above the </head>
. At the end, it would be exactly like this:
<script>
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m) {i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o) [0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-xxxxxx-xx', 'xxxxx.com');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
</head>
That's it. Now you have your analytics code implemented and it will start rolling in few minutes.
Happy Blogging!

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a prominent bone cancer that typically affects adolescents or people in late adulthood. Early recognition of this disease relies on imaging technologies such as x-ray radiography to detect tumor size and location. This paper aims to differentiate osteosarcoma from benign tumors by analyzing both imaging and RNA-seq data through a combination of image processing and machine learning. In experimental results, the proposed method achieved an Area Under the Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve (AUC) of 0.7272 in three-fold cross-validation, and an AUC of 0.9015 using leave-one-out cross-validation.

Hi to all.
After upgrade my local Pi running emoncms from HD to emon 9.2 version I am facing problem with showing daily charts especially the zoom chart is wrong and simple zoom is wrong partly.
With a zoom chart I can see correct values and chart is working properly only since 00:00 - 12:00AA, between 12:00A - 23:00PM I can not see any data in chart and 23:00PM - 24:00PM I can see a summer time data only.
For simple zoom - all works fine 00:00 - 12:00, after this there is issue wit current day - I think that current day shows data from from different time shift. The value is usually much bigger than value in Myelectric app, which seems to be correct.
I am running both charts at the same feed.
In parallel I am posting the same to emoncms.org and at emoncms.org everything works great - no issue.
I live in time zone Europe/Prague and this time zone is set in emon, apache config and system time as well.
Any idea what to check, what could be wrongly setuped ? Could be a bug in emoncms 9,2 ? Previous version worked without any problem.
Thank you for advice in advance
Michal
Re: problem with daily charts after 9.2 update
This looks like the same issue I had.
see https://github.com/emoncms/emoncms/pull/414 for a solution
and http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/11720
for the details of the discussion
Re: problem with daily charts after 9.2 update
Thank you a lot for hint.
Currently I am in "good" time and my emon works fine. I will try apply suggested solution afternoon when my charts goes to hell.
Best regards
Michal
Re: problem with daily charts after 9.2 update
Hi to all.
After 12:00 AM my zoom charts gone again - no surprise.
BUT ! - after applying: https://github.com/arjenhiemstra/emoncms/commit/0a9266668a351330a3fa8f760ec35711d9b52ce9 from arjenhiemstra, the zoom and simple zoom charts are back - good news :-).
I will test intensively further more in different times during a day and share my findings.

Cool, great to hear that it works for you too!


CPU Board
The CPU board has a CPU (a Zilog Z-80), an Intel 8259 interrupt controller, and some glue chips for the memory logic.
The Z-80 was based on the Intel 8080. It added enough features that several late-70's computers were based on it, including the TRS-80 line. It's available now for just a few dollars.
The Z-80 has only one interrupt pin. It's often useful to have several different interrupting devices, each having different priorities. The 8259 has four interrupt pins (IRQ0 through IRQ3 on the bus). It arbitrates incoming interrupts, funneling them to the Z-80's only interrupt pin. It also puts the number of the interrupting device on the Z-80's data bus.
The CPU has four pins that control memory and I/O: memory request (/MREQ), I/O request (/IOREQ), reading (/RD), and writing (/WR). We figured that a more useful version of these (for the other boards) would be memory read, memory write, I/O read, and I/O write. For example the memory board would only have to decode the “memory read” bus line instead of needing to combine /MREQ and /RD with extra glue logic. It turns out that this was a bad idea. See the /MREQ line on the system bus page for details of this mistake. Don't go second-guessing real hardware designers.
The CPU board is the only board that we made twice. We had prototyped (in a breadboard) the CPU and glue logic, but had never tried the 8259. We figured it was straightforward enough, and went ahead and made the PC board directly from design. Bugs in interrupt hardware can be some of the hardest to find, since it's virtually impossible to single-step through the events. We fought with flaky interrupts for the better part of a year before building a very cool logic analyzer (a few chips that piped wires' values into a PC's printer port). We then instantly found our mistake. Another testimony to the value of debugging tools.
We had misread the specs of the 8259. We thought that it latched interrupts, and in fact it doesn't. We had to redesign the whole board to get around this problem. A few other mistakes and problems with the CPU board (missing pull-up resistors, missing inverters, bad socket for one of the glue chips) made this the most painful board to get running right. For example, the problem with the bad socket was such that the chip's pin didn't connect with the socket, except if a voltmeter probe was pushing on the pin.

Introduction Paper: Actor-Critic Algorithms
Authors: Vijay R. Konda John N. Tsitsiklis
In this post, I will introduce the another policy gradient algorithm: Actor-Critic method. In general, there are two main components in policy gradient: policy model, and value function. Value function can help policy update, e.g., reducing gradient variance in vanilla policy gradients. In particular, we use Critic layer to approximately estimate value function:
To introduce Actor-Critic method, we separate them into two models, which may share parameters optionally:
Critic Layer
: updates the value function parameters w, it could be actor-value Q or state-value V, depending on the algorithm;
Actor Layer
: updates the policy parameters, in the direction suggested by the critic.
Hence, we may consider Actor-Critic method as approximate policy gradient.
In this post, I introduce a simple action-value actor-critic method procedure:
As mentioned earlier, this algorithm actually uses an approximate policy gradient, which will introduce bias, and lead to fail to converge to a suitable policy. One solution is to design Q-value that Simultaneously satisfies the following two conditions (Compatible Function Approximation Theorem):
The gradient of the approximation value function is exactly equivalent to the gradient of the logarithm of the strategy function:
The value function parameter w minimizes the mean square error:
Short Proof
: If the Q-value satisfies the above two conditions, then we have:
In addition to introducing the Critic layer to reduce the variance, we also consider subtracting a baseline from Q function to reduce the variance. Specifically, we require the baseline function B subtracted from the policy gradient, only to be related to the state, and has nothing to do with the behavior, so that the gradient itself is not changed.
A good choice of B(s) is value function V(s). Hence, we introduce an advantage function A(s, a) with the following definition:
Usually we use TD error to estimate the advantage function, because it is an unbiased estimator of advantage function.
Hence, we have:

PyVISA Shell¶
The shell, moved into PyVISA from the Lantz Project is a text based user interface to interact with instruments. You can invoke it from the command-line:
pyvisa-shell
that will show something the following prompt:
Welcome to the VISA shell. Type help or ? to list commands.
(visa)
At any time, you can type ?
or help
to get a list of valid commands:
(visa) help
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF attr close exit help list open query read timeout write
(visa) help list
List all connected resources.
Tab completion is also supported.
The most basic task is listing all connected devices:
(visa) list
( 0) ASRL1::INSTR
( 1) ASRL2::INSTR
( 2) USB0::0x1AB1::0x0588::DS1K00005888::INSTR
Each device/port is assigned a number that you can use for subsequent commands. Let’s open comport 1:
(visa) open 0
ASRL1::INSTR has been opened.
You can talk to the device using "write", "read" or "query.
The default end of message is added to each message
(open) query *IDN?
Some Instrument, Some Company.
You can print timeout that is set for query/read operation:
(open) timeout
Timeout: 2000ms
Then also to change the timeout for example to 1500ms (1.5 sec):
(open) timeout 1500
Done
We can also get a list of all visa attributes:
(open) attr

To simplify the handling of VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR and VI_ATTR_TERMCHAR_EN, the command ‘termchar’ can be used. If only one character provided, it sets both read and write termination character to the same character. If two characters are provided, it sets read and write termination characters independently.
To setup termchar to ‘r’ (CR or ascii code 10):
(open) termchar CR
Done
To read what termchar is defined:
(open) termchar
Termchar read: CR write: CR
To setup read termchar to ‘n’ and write termchar to ‘rn’:
(open) termchar LF CRLF
Done
Supported termchar values are: CR (‘r’), LF (‘n’), CRLF (‘rn’) , NUL (‘0’), None. None is used to disable termchar.
Finally, you can close the device:
(open) close
PyVisa Shell Backends¶
Based on available backend (see bellow for info
command), it is possible to
switch shell to use non-default backend via -b BACKEND
or
--backend BACKEND
.
You can invoke:
pyvisa-shell -b sim
to use python-sim as backend instead of ni backend. This can be used for example for testing of python-sim configuration.
You can invoke:
pyvisa-shell -b py
uses python-py as backend instead of ni backend, for situation when ni not installed.
PyVisa Info¶
You can invoke it from the command-line:
pyvisa-info
that will print information to diagnose PyVISA, info about Machine, Python, backends, etc
Machine Details:
Platform ID: Windows
Processor: Intel64 Family 6
...
PyVISA Version: ...
Backends:
ni:
Version: 1.8 (bundled with PyVISA)
...
py:
Version: 0.2
...
sim:
Version: 0.3
Spec version: 1.1
Summary¶
Cool, right? It will be great to have a GUI similar to NI-MAX, but we leave that to be developed outside PyVISA. Want to help? Let us know!

Personalize Lilium
You are free to experiment every option until you find your favourite one
As you can see, Lilium is a very simple template, it’s similar to a blog, but there’s still a lot you can change to make this digital garden your digital garden.
Where to start
There are some basic features that you need to override before you publish your garden. This is the only time you’ll need to see the code, I promise.
Title
The first thing you need to do is change the site’s name from “Lilium Digital Garden” to the actual name of your digital garden.
To do so, you have to open the file named “_config.yml” with a text editor. On the very first line you’ll find the site’s name, you just change that and save the file. Then you’ll probably need to serve the site again, as I explained here (if you’re running it locally this means stop it, run “bundle ecex jekyll serve” again, then reload the page).
Top navigation
Top navigation is the simple menu you see above the title. You can add more pages there, but for now I suggest you to just delete the “Document” and the “Download Lilium” links.
To do so, you have to open the “_includes” folder, and then open the “nav.html” with a text editor. You’ll find a list of four links, all you have to do is delete these last two and save the document.
About page
Another thing you’ll obviously want to edit is the “About” page. You can add your personal information there, such as bio, contacts and so on. At the bottom of this page you’ll find some tips on how to write on a Jekyll page (such as syntax etc).
Remember that the content of the “About” page is written inside the “about.md” document in the “_pages” folder. ⚠ Make sure you edit this document and NOT the “about.html” document in the “_layouts” folder.
Floating elements
The floating elements are:
- the “About me” block you se on right bottom corner of the pages,
- the social icons on the “About” pages.
These, of course, contains more personal information. To edit them you’ll have to edit the “floating-about.html” document and the “floating-social.html” document inside the “_includes” folder.
For the floating about, replace the text between the “
” tag and the “
” tag with your own text.
For the social icons, replace my social urls with yours. I provided some other icons that are not displayed (such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, Reddit and Twitch) inside the “assets/icons” folder. To replace them you’ll just have to type the name of the social in this space.
Or you can add or remove icons by duplicate or delete a whole block contained between the “
” and the “
”.
We’re done! 🎉
Last thing you can do, if you want to, is delete the “docs” folder and all the “how-to-number.png” images from the “imgs” folder, so you can start your brand new digital garden.
Useful Tips
Now you’re free to do whatever you want with your digital garden.
Jekyll is an amazing tool, but there are some basic rules that you’ll learn soon. One of them is the language. In Jekyll we write in a language called markdown language, and that’s why your notes are stored in files that have the “.md” extension.
Markdown is pretty easy to learn, it’s actually just a combination of symbols, like “#” for titles, single “*” for italic and double for bold, and so on. Anyway, it could be useful to refer to a guide.
To make it even easier, I suggest you download a proper text editor, like Atom or Visual Studio, that can help you with any syntax mistakes. When you are ready, you’ll discover how many amazing things you can create by mixing markdown with some HTLM.
Another thing that you should probably know is that to be creative does not mean to be messy. It’s much easier to use a Jekyll site if its directories are in order. So, when you create a new note, you should put it in the “seeds” folder and remember to link it in the “/seeds/index.md” page. If you want to customize that section I suggest you take a look at the Jekyll documentation.
I believe we’re good here. I hope you found my guide useful. Now it’s time to start enjoying your new digital garden!
For any question or issue you can contact me on GitHub of via email. ☕ Also, if you like the template, please consider buying me a coffee.


JOE THE KING
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Trimark Pictures Director: Frank Whaley Writer: Frank Whaley Cast: Noah Fleiss, Val Kilmer, Karen Young, Ethan Hawke, John Leguizamo, Austin Pendleton, Max Ligosh, James Costa
If Tolstoy were a moviegoer, he'd amend his introduction to "Anna Karenina" by saying "Happy families are all alike: they appear only on sitcoms. Unhappy families are different: they are depicted in serious films." Just as romantic poetry goes hand in hand with love unrequired, coming-of-age movies are inspired by people who grew up in unhappy homes. "Joe the King" is yet another entry into the "400 Blows" sweepstakes, the story of a poor kid from minimum-wage-earning, uncaring parents who, because of his background, is persecuted as well by his teacher and his job supervisor while he is unwittingly sent up the river by a well-meaning guidance counselor.
Frank Whaley, known principally as an actor ("Swimming with Sharks"), makes his debut in this somewhat autobiographical story which does not take home gold stars for originality or depth of screenplay. The picture does display a fine array of performers in supporting roles, highlighting a terrific appearance by 14-year-old Noah Fleiss in the title role of a down-and-out sad sack who cannot fit in with the gang and is given the barest affection at home. Yet despite the unfortunate way his life is turning out, he has a good heart which stands to become thoroughly corrupted by a mandated stay in a juvenile reformatory.
Fleiss's interpretation of the role is on the money. The kid's a natural who gives a modulated performance in a drama that's well-directed by Whaley but unfortunately gives us no relief, no hope, and aside from a modicum of amusement that Joe's nerdy-looking friend Ray (James Costa) supplies, the picture is virtually devoid of humor or even some lighter moments.
Taking place in an upstate New York community (actually filmed in Staten Island) during the 1970s, the 28-day shoot opens on the 9-year-old Joe (Peter Tambakis) who is spanked on the bare bottom by his hostile teacher for lying about his father's occupation. Joe's dad, Bob (Val Kilmer), works as a custodian in the same school, perpetually threatened with dismissal for drinking on the job. Nor does Joe get much support from his working mother, Theresa (Karen Young), and his slightly older brother Mike (Max Ligosh) does not want to include him in his activities.
Five years later, the oppressive life takes its toll as the 14- year-old Joe (Noah Fleiss), now working illegally as a dishwasher in a greasy spoon, commits a steadily escalating series of thefts. He has logged into school tardy fifty-four times, has no interest in his subjects, and given the harsh environment in this shantytown can almost not be blamed for taking his anger out in antisocial ways.
Val Kilmer, who has deliberately gained some weight to develop a beer belly, is convincingly despicable as a drunk who, despite his physical violence and lack of any communication with the kid fails to make the boy hate him. In slight supporting roles, Austin Pendleton cements the lad's view of an uncaring society by cursing the kid while simultaneously buying a hot gold ring from him, and Ethan Hawke, who seems also to have filled out for the role, acts as the boy's only sympathetic ear--though for some strange reason he likes to take a seat behind him in an empty classroom while giving him advice.
The film is burdened by a redundant script, a one-damn- thing-after another syndrome, so that instead of demonstrating the collective effect of Joe's miserable environment, Whaley simply takes us from one misfortune to another. Despite this flaw, Whaley as director does a good job portraying the banality of life in a poor, ramshackle community during the late 1970s and can be thanked for giving Noah Fleiss a vehicle for that actor's intensely sincere performance.

The internet that we know today was nothing like how it was in its early stages. When you think of the internet, the word “browser” along with a few others comes to mind. This is not a coincidence since the creation of the internet browser played a key role in the evolution of the modern-day internet and is regularly used to access it today. The creation of the internet browser was not looked at favorably by all however, Microsoft a large and growing software company saw a browser-based internet as a threat to Windows OS which had been on 90% of the computer in the world at the time.
Microsoft’s co-founder and CEO, Bill Gates had a different and more monetary inclined vision of the evolution of the internet. His vision thought the information highway that was the internet, should be a toll road where Microsoft controlled the toll booths and the users would have to pay to drive/access information. This would allow Microsoft to have a complete monopoly on information and give them the ability to censor and restrict content that they did not approve of. Gate’s online system was called the Microsoft network (msn) which many assumed would succeed. Microsoft’s motivation for this idea was out of fear that some small software companies could threaten everything Microsoft has achieved like it had done to so many before.
The first graphical web browser was Mosaic founded by Illinois University students. Jim Clark, the co-founder of Netscape, had recruited the Mosaic engineers. They would go on to create a new browser based on Mosaic and turn the internet into the future for commerce and communication.
The moment Netscape’s browser “Navigator” was released, it was an instant technological success. The internet age had begun and it did not have anything to do with Microsoft. Microsoft’s fears of the threat had begun to become a reality, Netscape had opened the door to the possibilities where the browser could be a separate alternative to Windows and all computational needs could be handled online rendering Windows OS irreverent. Netscape’s success had become something impossible for Microsoft to overlook anymore and now had to react to this apparent threat and destroy it.
After meeting with Netscape and being accused of breaching Antitrust Laws, Microsoft had started developing their own browser called Internet Explorer (IE) where they would copy Netscape’s foundational ideas and updates. Their plan was to slowly but surely chip away at Netscape’s browser market share. Microsoft also started approaching customers telling them they’d cancel licenses if Netscape was installed on their hardware which began the events of the breaking antitrust laws.
In addition to having a monopoly on operating systems and software, Microsoft also had a huge surplus of cash which allowed them to weather any financial storm and give them the ability to release their browser for free while bundled within Windows OS which for Netscape was the beginning of the end. Up until this point Netscape charged money for the use of their software which allowed the company to continue development, but when Microsoft released the free alternative, they had no way to maintain the stream of revenue that they had once sustained. By September 1997, the browser war was over as Internet Explorer made up 80% of all browser users and Netscape had crumbled and was eventually bought out by AOL.
In 1998, Microsoft was found guilty of breaking antitrust laws and was ordered to break the company up, dropping its stock market value by over 30 billion dollars overnight. Later on, a Fed appeals court had made a decision to rescind the order as there were thoughts it was too harsh.

Plugins are optional additional features that could be used to create additional functionality. Jquery is needed for these to function.
Most plugins only need two components to be loaded: view.css and view.js, and these are found within their plugin name folders. So, load them like so:
/plugins/plugin-name/view.css
/plugins/plugin-name/view.js
The menu used across this site is a megamenu plugin. It supports multiple child pages, and is compatible with Wordpress menus.
Markup
Simply take a look at the source code on this page, because we're too lazy to write it out here.
Load these:
/plugins/megamenu/view.css
/plugins/megamenu/view.js
The printer plugin makes a specific element easily printable, with a custom header and footer.
Simply include:
/plugins/printer/view.js
Classes
.printer - wrap content to be printed within this class
.headprint - (optional) content to displayed as header
.footprint - (optional) content to displayed as footer
button onclick="printer();" - button to launch printer interface.
PUC (Print Utility Classes)
.print-only - content is only displayed when being printed, but is hidden on screens
.screen-only - content is hidden from being printed, and is only visible on screens

vignettes/continuous-data.Rmd
continuous-data.Rmd
library(applicable)
applicable
provides the following methods to analyze the applicability domain of your model:
We will use the Ames IA housing data for our example.
There are 2,930 properties in the data.
The Sale Price was recorded along with 81 predictors, including:
More details can be found in De Cock (2011, Journal of Statistics Education).
The raw data are at http://bit.ly/2whgsQM
but we will use a processed version found in the AmesHousing
package. applicable
also contains an update for these data for three new properties (although fewer fields were collected on these).
To pre-process the training set, we will use the recipes package. We first tell the recipes that there is an additional value for the neighborhood in these data, then direct it to create dummy variables for all categorical predictors. In cases where there are no levels observed for a factor, we eliminate predictors with a single unique value, then estimate a transformation that will make the predictor distributions more symmetric. After these, the data are centered and scaled. These same transformations will be applied to the new data points using the statistics estimated from the training set.
library(recipes) #> Warning: package 'recipes' was built under R version 3.6.2 library(dplyr) ames_cols <- names(ames_new) training_data <- ames %>% # For consistency, only analyze the data on new properties dplyr::select(one_of(ames_cols)) %>% mutate( # There is a new neighborhood in ames_new Neighborhood = as.character(Neighborhood), Neighborhood = factor(Neighborhood, levels = levels(ames_new$Neighborhood)) ) training_recipe <- recipe( ~ ., data = training_data) %>% step_dummy(all_nominal()) %>% # Remove variables that have the same value for every data point. step_zv(all_predictors()) %>% # Transform variables to be distributed as Gaussian-like as possible. step_YeoJohnson(all_numeric()) %>% # Normalize numeric data to have a mean of zero and # standard deviation of one. step_normalize(all_numeric())
The following functions in applicable
are used for principal component analysis:
apd_pca
: computes the principal components that account for up to either 95% or the provided threshold
of variability. It also computes the percentiles of the principal components and the mean of each principal component.autoplot
: plots the distribution function for pcas. You can also provide an optional set of dplyr
selectors, such as dplyr::matches()
or dplyr::starts_with()
, for selecting which variables should be shown in the plot.score
: calculates the principal components of the new data and their percentiles as compared to the training data. The number of principal components computed depends on the threshold
given at fit time. It also computes the multivariate distance between each principal component and its mean.Let us apply apd_pca
modeling function to our data:
ames_pca <- apd_pca(training_recipe, training_data) ames_pca #> # Predictors: #> 50 #> # Principal Components: #> 118 components were needed #> to capture at least 95% of the #> total variation in the predictors.
Since no threshold
was provided, the function computed the number of principal components that accounted for at most 95% of the total variance.
For illustration, setting threshold = 0.25
or 25%, we now need only 10 principal components:
ames_pca <- apd_pca(training_recipe, training_data, threshold = 0.25) ames_pca #> # Predictors: #> 50 #> # Principal Components: #> 10 components were needed #> to capture at least 25% of the #> total variation in the predictors.
Plotting the distribution function for the PCA scores is also helpful:
You can use regular expressions to plot a smaller subset of the pca statistics:
The score
function compares the training data to new samples. Let’s go back to the case where we capture 95% of the variation in the predictors and score the new samples. Since we used the recipe interface, we can give the score function the original data:
ames_pca <- apd_pca(training_recipe, training_data) pca_score <- score(ames_pca, ames_new) pca_score %>% select(matches("PC00[1-3]"), contains("distance")) #> # A tibble: 3 x 8 #> PC001 PC002 PC003 PC001_pctl PC002_pctl PC003_pctl distance distance_pctl #> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> #> 1 -4.86 0.870 -0.457 87.0 17.7 26.1 6.33 1.85 #> 2 -2.85 0.913 0.360 51.7 19.0 21.0 7.64 17.9 #> 3 -4.63 0.572 -1.21 84.8 11.7 56.5 7.58 17.1
Notice how the samples, displayed in red, are fairly dissimilar to the training set in the first component:
What is driving the first component? We can look at which predictors have the largest values in the rotation matrix (i.e. the values that define the linear combinations in the PC scores). The top five are:
# `ames_pca$pcs` is the output of `prcomp()` comp_one <- ames_pca$pcs$rotation[, 1] comp_one[order(abs(comp_one), decreasing = TRUE)] %>% head(5) #> Year_Built Garage_Cars Foundation_PConc Year_Remod_Add Garage_Area #> -0.2537606 -0.2176448 -0.2100323 -0.2050218 -0.2019180
These three houses are extreme in the most influential variable (year built) since they were new homes. The also tend to have fairly large garages:
This may be what is driving the first component.
However, the overall distance values are relatively small, which indicates that, overall, these new houses are not outside the mainstream of the data.
The Hat or leverage values are based on the numerics of linear regression. The measure the distance of a data point to the center of the training set distribution. For example, if the numeric training set matrix was \(X_{n \times p}\), the hat matrix for the training set would be computed using
\[H = X'(X'X)^{-1}X\]
The corresponding hat values for the training would be the diagonals of \(H\). These values can be computed using stats::hatvalues(lm_model)
but only for an lm
model object. Also, it cannot compute the values for new samples.
Suppose that we had a new, unknown sample (as a \(p \times 1\) data vector \(u\)). The hat value for this sample would be
\[h = u^\intercal(X^\intercal X)^{-1}u\].
The following functions in applicable
are used to compute the hat values of your model:
apd_hat_values
: computes the matrix \((X^\intercal X)^{-1}\).score
: calculates the hat values of new samples and their percentiles.Two caveats for using the hat values:
The numerical methods are less tolerant than PCA. For example, extremely correlated predictors will degrade the ability of the hat values to be effectively used. Also, since an inverse is used, there cannot be an linear dependencies within \(X\). To resolve this the former example, the recipe step recipes::step_corr()
can be used to reduce correlation. For the latter issue, recipes::step_lincomp()
will identify and remove linear dependencies in the data (as shown below).
When using a linear or logistic model, the model adds an intercept columns of ones to \(X\). For equivalent computations, you should add a vector or ones to the data or use recipes::step_intercept()
.
Let us apply apd_hat_values
modeling function to our data (while ensuring that there are no linear dependencies):
non_singular_recipe <- training_recipe %>% step_lincomb(all_predictors()) # Recipe interface ames_hat <- apd_hat_values(non_singular_recipe, training_data)

Array! Hashes! What???
A hash or an array? Which one will you use? And how do you choose? Maybe knowing how they differ will set your mind aflame and will cause your head to explode with awe? Or maybe you'll learn something new.....either way.....
Hashes
According to ruby docs, a hash is collection of key-value pairs and the indexing is done via arbirary kieys of any object type, not just integers. Hashes values come from the order of which the corresponding keys were inserted. In other words, if you were a baseball coach trying to track how many hits each of your players get, the key would be the players name and the variable would be his hits per game.
Arrays
According to ruby docs, an array is an ordered, integer-indexed collections of any object. Array indexing starts at 0, (meaning the FIRST object in the array has the value of 0, the second object would have the value of 1 and so on and so fourth). Arrays can be used as lists, and their values are assigned based on object placement rather than keys and variables.
Are they interchangeble?
Well it depends on how much work you are willing to do, if something calls for a hash and you can do some magic to make an array work, just put the hash in there. Same thing with an array. Espeically if you are dealing with values. It becomes too confusing and too conveluted.

I'm a 19 years old male studying mathematics and physics, for difficult exams that just took place. Since I needed all the edge I could get, I decided a few months ago to try a nootropics regimen. I read that piracetam was great to improve learning and creativity, so I thought I'd give it a try. I had read that piracetam does wonders for some people, and seems to be completely uneffective on some others, but I had great expectations for that product. My experience with other psychoactives is very limited: coffee, alcohol, pot (once or twice in my life) and that's all.
I ordered bulk piracetam power online, since piracetam (under brand Nootropil) is only available on prescription in France, where I live. The powder is crystalline, sugar-like, but has a unpleasant smell. It dissolves pretty well in water, and it has a bitter taste, not very bad, but the first time I tried it, it left me somewhat disgusted. Now I got used to it.
The first day, I started with an attack dose at noon (I had received the powder in the morning) of 3.6g of piracetam, with 2 softgels of choline (containing 420mg of phosphatidylcholine each). The effects set in about an hour. I didn't feel smarter, or more awake, so I was a little bit disappointed at first. But when I started to work, I realized that I could focus much more on my task, and that the ideas were flowing more easily.  I was quite happy with the effects of piracetam - they were subtle, but definitely existant and clearly distinguishible from placebo. On Shulgin scale, I guess this would amount to between + and ++.
I continued to take piracetam every day since, 2.4g (measured on a pocket scale, accurate to a tenth of a gram) three times a day at 6am, at noon, and around 5pm, dissolved in half a glass of water, sometimes on an empty stomach, sometimes not. I also take choline at the same times, 2 softgels that contain 420mg of phosphatidyl choline each, three times per day. On total, I take 7.2g or piracetam and 2.52g of phosphatidylcholine daily.
I believe the effects are still present, but I got used to it. My thinking has become clearer, and ideas flow more easily. My memory, both short-term, long-term, and formation of new memories are even better than they were before, though I've always had a really good memory. My mood may have improved also, but I believe this is related to the increase in my intellectual faculties, since my mood is heavily correlated to how I perceive their performance. The better I perform, the happier I am, because of the exams I had in sight.
Piracetam don't make me feel high, but I'm simply more efficient when I have to use my brain. I feel like I can rely on it much more than before. I don't feel more awake - even if it does keep me awake when I take some, late in the evening. I tend to find words more easily on piracetam as well, and my ability to imagine things in 3D may also be a little bit better. Another nice effect is that piracetam improved my perception of music. Music feels much deeper, I have a much better perception of each of its contituants (the instruments, the effects, the lyrics, etc.) It's very enjoyable. Otherwise, unlike some other people reported, I didn't feel like Mr Spock, nor had especially vivid dreams, nor did my interests change. And absolutely no physical effects (change in heatbeat, etc.), and no side effects (headaches, etc.) whatsoever.
Since piracetam effects are somewhat subtle, I can't give an estimate of the time of onset nor of the time required for its effects to disappear. I spread my doses throughout the day so piracetam is present in my system when I need it (from 6am to 8pm), and it doesn't prevent me from sleeping, around 9pm.
Now that I've taken the exams, I think that I'm going to continue to take piracetam. It's a nice and cheap drugs, with nice subtle effects. I liked that experience, and I recommend piracetam to my friends, but I'm going to try to find some more powerful alternatives. I'd like to feel boosted by some kind of substance, and piracetam is too subtle for that. I've ordered oxiracetam, and I'm waiting for the package.

Currently we only support one AudioProcessing module for one WebRtc VoiceEngine. This introduces a couple of problems, for example:
# Supporting multiple microphones.
# Different audio tracks might have different constrains.
# When a peer connection has multiple audio tracks, the loggings are not correct in libjingle.
The correct fix to all the problem is that we should be able to have different AudioProcessing module to different audio tracks if they are using different sources or having different constrains.
Ref: #264611
There is also an architectural (legacy) "problem" with the current design/implementation.
The APM related constraints are specified at the getUserMedia layer but are currently applied in PeerConnection which is technically a different API. This means that APIs that support using a MediaStream from gUM (e.g. WebAudio), will currently not get processed audio and that a mediastream will look different (well, rather sound different) to different destination APIs.
Ref: #264611
Upcoming (M37+) "--enable-audio-processor
" command-line flag or maybe "--enable-audio-track-processing
" or maybe:
var audioConstraints = { optional: [], mandatory: { googEchoCancellation: true } }; navigator.webkitGetUserMedia({ audio: audioConstraints }, onSuccess, onFailure);

Various MEME Suite programs require as input a file containing sequences of protein, DNA, RNA or potentially some other custom alphabet. These input files must be in FASTA format which must be plain text, not WORD, .doc, .docx, .rtf or any other word-processor format.
Each FASTA entry consists of a sequence identifier line followed by one or more sequence lines. The sequence identifier line begins with the ">" character in column 1, which must be immediately followed by a sequence identifier (ID). The ID may be followed by an (optional) sequence description (COMMENT). There may be no whitespace between the ">" and the ID, and whitespace must separate the end of the ID from the COMMENT. The format looks like this:
>ID1 COMMENT SEQUENCE SEQUENCE ... >ID2 COMMENT SEQUENCE ...
Some rules about the sequence lines that follow the sequence identifier line:
Here is an example of three protein sequences in FASTA format:

When running MEME sequence weights may be specified in the dataset file by special header lines where the unique name is "WEIGHTS" (all caps) and the descriptive text is a list of sequence weights.
Sequence weights are numbers in the range 0 < w ≤ 1. All weights are assigned in order to the sequences in the file. If there are more sequences than weights, the remainder are given weight one. Weights may be specified by more than one "WEIGHTS" entry which may appear anywhere in the file. When weights are used, sequences will contribute to motifs in proportion to their weights.
Here is an example for a file of three sequences where the first two sequences are very similar and it is desired to down-weight them:

Man fined for smashing sauce bowl into another man’s face at Haidilao
- Advertisement -
Singapore—On November 14, a man was given a S$4,000 fine in court for smashing a porcelain condiment bowl into the face of a fellow patron at popular hotpot chain Haidilao last January.
He pleaded guilty to one charge of causing hurt.
In addition to the fine, Jason Esaias Gao Weijie has already paid some S$8,000 in compensation to his victim, Eugene Lee Wei Liang.
The altercation between Messrs Gao and Lee occurred in the early morning hours of January 12 at the Haidilao outlet at Clarke Quay.

Around half-past three in the morning, Mr Lee was having a meal at Haidilao with some friends. He had gotten up from the table, still eating from his bowl of food, to line up at the condiments counter to help himself to some additional sauce.
When it was his turn to get some sauces, Mr Lee then put his bowl on the counter, and proceeded to fill a sauce bowl.
Shauna Poon, the Deputy Public Prosecutor on the case told District Judge Toh Han Li that Mr Gao who had been behind Mr Lee in the line for sauces, found that “the victim’s act of leaving the bowl on the counter was unhygienic,” and was subsequently angered by it.
Mr Gao then told Mr Lee to take his bowl away from the counter.
Mr Lee agreed to this, and would do it when he was done getting the sauce he wanted, which offended Mr Gao further, and resulted in him picking a fight with Mr Lee.
As Mr Lee turned to leave the condiment counter, holding his food and sauce bowls in his hands, Mr Gao took hold of Mr Lee’s neck and proceeded to smash the sauce bowl into Mr Lee’s face, while pushing him down.
Mr Gao had to be pulled away by Haidilao’s other patrons, who broke up the altercation.
Footage of Mr Gao’s actions were recorded at the restaurant’s CCTV cameras, which the court saw at the hearing of the case on November 14.
Police were also called to the scene by a friend of Mr Lee, who had told them, “A guy threw a bowl at my friend. Now he got a cut in between his eyes and bleeding.”
Mr Lee then sought medical attention at Changi General Hospital, due to a wound on the bridge of his nose that was 1.5 cm long. He was given six days of medical leave for his recovery.
The maximum penalty of voluntarily causing hurt is two years’ jail time, a S$5,000 fine, or both.
In Mr Gao’s defense, his lawyer, Raphael Louis claimed that the victim’s injury had not been extensive, Mr Gao paid compensation for his violent actions shortly after the incident, and that the amount of S$8,000 that he gave was higher than the S$2,400 in expenses that Mr Lee incurred for the treatment of his injury.
DPP Poon mentioned that Mr Gao had past unrelated traffic and property-related offences, and had no objections to the high amount of his fine. -/TISG

Apache™ Hadoop® is an open source software project that enables distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of commodity servers. It is designed to scale up from a single server to thousands of machines, with very high degree of fault tolerance. Rather than relying on high-end hardware, the resiliency of these clusters comes from the software's ability to detect and handle failures at the application layer.


THE POSTMAN (IL POSTINO) A film review by Ben Hoffman Copyright 1995 Ben Hoffman
Philippe Noiret, the French actor who has been in dozens of films is perhaps best known in the U.S. as the projectionist in the wonderful 1990 film, CINEMA PARADISO. Here, as Pablo Neruda, he charms us once again, this time as a famous poet who has been exiled from his native Chile because of political reasons. He now makes his home on a small island in the Mediterranean. living in a secluded mountainous area where he will not be in frequent contact with the villagers and where he can write his poetry undisturbed.
IL POSTINO is the story of friendship and heartbreak.
Mario (Massimo Troisi) is the son of a fisherman but fishing is not to his taste. He thinks about emigrating but just then he is asked if he would like to be the personal postman to the poet. The area is out of the way of the regular postman but Mario is happy not to have to either emigrate nor fish.
In the beginning, Mario climbs the road to Neruda's home and shyly delivers the mail. Neruda, though polite, at first shows little interest in his personal mailman. As time passes he becomes a bit more friendly, intrigued by Mario's interest in Neruda's poetry and poetic manner of speaking. (While the film frequently refers to "metaphors" it is really "similes" that are being discussed. I suspect the translator of having confused the two ... but no matter.)
Mario's sole purpose in learning how to write poetry is to enchant his beautiful Beatrice (Maria Grazia Cucinotta) with whom he is in love. Much of the poetry he reads to her (as his own) is really that of Neruda.
Heartbreak comes when Neruda receives mail that he can return to his homeland. They will keep in touch it says here.
Directed by Michael Radford.
In Italian with English subtitles
In the early 1990s, Italy's famous actor Massimo Troisi, read a novel by Skarmeta which became his inspiration for the film IL POSTINO and in which he acted the part of Mario despite his having had a history of a bad heart. Twelve hours after the film's photography completion, he died in his sleep at the age of forty-0ne.

This extension integrates Crawljax, Selenium and JUnit together.
The intent of this extension is to aid web application security testing,
increase web application crawling capability and speed-up complex test-cases execution.
Quick Start:
- Install the BurpCSJ extension into Burp.
- Choose the URL item from any Burp tab (e.g. target, proxy history, repeater).
- Right click on the URL item.
- Choose menu item "Send URL to Crawljax".
- Crawljax will automatically start crawling the URL that you choose.
Minimum Requirements:
- Java 1.7.
- A modern browser installed (e.g. Firefox 34.x).
- If you intend to use JUnit, then you would need JDK to compile classes and Selenium IDE to export JUnit test cases.
- Enough memory when starting Burp if you also want to use BurpCSJ (recommended to use a 64bit env)
If you are planning to use Chrome, IE or PhantomJS browsers you would need the following drivers/executables:
Tutorials:
Tested on:
- Windows 7 with Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b18) and Burp Pro 1.6.09
- OS X Mavericks with Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_67-b01) and Burp Pro 1.6.05
- Kali Linux with OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.1) (7u71-2.5.3-2) and Burp Suite Free 1.6
Known Issues:
- If you intend to use BurpCSJ when crawling over HTTPS, then it is recommended to use Firefox or Chrome browsers.
- There are issues with Remote WebDriver and browsers such as PhantomJS or IE.
- Also, there is an issue using the 64bit IE Driver (recommended to use the 32bit one instead).
- When a crawling session is started and you need to interrupt for any reason, the browser driver might not close properly, so you might decide to kill it.
