I am a programmer because ultimately I love to create things. And I find that my most gratifying creations come from taking a simple idea and iterating over and over on it and exploring different ideas around a single premise. I love that moment when you are able to create something new and cool with just a few small tweaks in the code or a tiny addition to the codebase. In this post we are going to do that by creating a realtime slideshow based on the previous slideshow posts here and here. We are going to introduce a master presenter role using Firebase to sync the current slide across all the connected clients. And my favorite part is that we are going to accomplish the realtime aspect of the slideshow in less than a dozen lines of code!
Before we get started, grab the source code from Github and create a Firebase endpoint to use for your own slideshow. Setting up a Firebase endpoint is free and easy and you can find all the information you need to do that at firebase.com.
The demo is not realtime as it would be chaos but I posted it so you could get a preview into what we are going to be working with.

We are not going to dig into every facet of the slideshow in this post as I have extensively covered them in previous posts but I will offer some commentary on what is specific to this implementation. The structure of the slides is fairly simple with a slide.title and a slide.subtitle property that we are displaying. Like the previous slideshows, we are iterating over the slides collection and keeping track of the current slide via $index.
{% highlight html %}
{% endhighlight %}
We are using the slide-animation class to wire up the transition animation from slide to slide. The interesting part about this particular animation is that we are using element.scope() to access the $scope object on the element to get the direction of the animation. We then dynamically define our animation based on that. I have hid the implementation details of where that property is stored by creating the getDirection method to return that value for us.
[js]
app.animation('.slide-animation', function ($window) {
return {
enter: function (element, done) {
var scope = element.scope();
var startPoint = $window.innerWidth;
if(scope.getDirection() !== 'right') {
startPoint = -startPoint;
}
TweenMax.fromTo(element, 0.5, {left: startPoint}, {left:0, onComplete: done });
},
leave: function (element, done) {
var scope = element.scope();
var endPoint = $window.innerWidth;
if(scope.getDirection() === 'right') {
endPoint = -endPoint;
}
TweenMax.to(element, 0.5, { left: endPoint, onComplete: done });
}
};
});
[/js]
Because I knew that I wanted to synchronize an object across N connected clients, I defined the $scope.remoteSlide object to keep track of the current index and direction we need to animate. I then exposed $scope.remoteSlide.direction to slide-animation with the $scope.getDirection method as I previously stated.
[js]
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $location, RemoteSlide) {
//... OMITTED
function isCurrentSlideIndex(index) {
return $scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex === index;
}
function prevSlide() {
$scope.remoteSlide.direction = 'left';
$scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex = ($scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex > 0)
? --$scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex : $scope.slides.length - 1;
}
function nextSlide() {
$scope.remoteSlide.direction = 'right';
$scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex = ($scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex < $scope.slides.length - 1)
? ++$scope.remoteSlide.currentIndex : 0;
}
function getDirection() {
return $scope.remoteSlide.direction;
}
$scope.slides = [
{id: 'slide00', title: 'Slide One', subtitle: 'With a supporting point!'},
{id: 'slide01', title: 'Slide Two', subtitle: 'With a supporting point!'},
{id: 'slide02', title: 'Slide Three', subtitle: 'With a supporting point!'},
{id: 'slide03', title: 'Slide Four', subtitle: 'With a supporting point!'},
{id: 'slide04', title: 'Slide Five', subtitle: 'With a supporting point!'}
];
$scope.remoteSlide = {
currentIndex: 0,
direction: 'left'
};
$scope.isCurrentSlideIndex = isCurrentSlideIndex;
$scope.getDirection = getDirection;
//... OMITTED
});
[/js]
And from here we are using isCurrentSlideIndex, prevSlide, and nextSlide to manipulate the remoteSlide object instead of using properties directly on $scope. Wrapping these properties in an object is going to make synchronization with Firebase a snap. Just wait and see...
But! Before we get to the main event, I am going to add in a little extra bonus for you. Since we need to be able to navigate through our slides, some simple keyboard navigation is in order.
Since we need to capture keyboard events for the entire page, on the body tag I defined the ng-keyup directive that calls onKeyUp and passes in the key code for the key pressed.
{% highlight html %}
And from here, we can determine if the key pressed was the left or right arrow and then call prevSlide or nextSlide, respectively. I extracted out the key codes into the 'constants' LEFT_ARROW and RIGHT_ARROW so that the logic structure would read better.
[js]
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $location, RemoteSlide) {
//... OMITTED
var LEFT_ARROW = 37,
RIGHT_ARROW = 39;
function onKeyUp(keyCode) {
if (keyCode === LEFT_ARROW) {
prevSlide();
} else if (keyCode === RIGHT_ARROW) {
nextSlide();
}
}
//... OMITTED
});
[/js]
Did we really just add in keyboard navigation in less than 10 lines of code? YEP!
It's about to get real up in here! I am going to warn you that this may feel weird at how easy it is to actually make this work with Firebase. I think we are looking at about 5 minutes worth of grueling labor to get this up and running.
First we need to include the Firebase and AngularFire resources into our application.
{% highlight html %}
{% endhighlight %}
And then we need to include the firebase submodule into our application. I also like to extract out my Firebase endpoint into an ENDPOINT_URI constant in case I need to use it in more than one place.
[js]
var app = angular.module('slideshow', ['ngAnimate', 'firebase']);
app.constant('ENDPOINT_URI', 'https://
[/js]
And now for the 'hard' part. We are going to create a RemoteSlide service that returns a synchronized object we will bind to in our MainCtrl. We will inject the $firebase service for creating the synchronized object and the ENDPOINT_URI to tell $firebase what to synchronize with. The $firebase service takes a single argument which is a Firebase reference that we create via new Firebase(ENDPOINT_URI). We are also telling Firebase to track this as an object with the $asObject method call.
[js]
app.factory('RemoteSlide', function($firebase, ENDPOINT_URI) {
return function() {
// create a reference to the current slide index
var ref = new Firebase(ENDPOINT_URI);
// return it as a synchronized object
return $firebase(ref).$asObject();
}
});
[/js]
And now, the final step to making our slideshow realtime. We need to call RemoteSlide() to get the synchronized object returned from Firebase, and then call $bindTo to create three-way binding back to the Firebase servers. By default, Firebase does not automatically save changes done to a synchronized object; but in this case, this is exactly the behavior we want and $bindTo accomplishes this nicely. By calling $bindTo($scope, 'remoteSlide') we are telling the object returned by $firebase to bind the object at the remote server to the remoteSlide property on $scope and keep them synchronized automatically.
[js]
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $location, RemoteSlide) {
//... OMITTED
RemoteSlide().$bindTo($scope, 'remoteSlide');
});
[/js]
From the documentation.
Creates a three-way binding between a scope variable and Firebase data. When the scope data is updated, changes are pushed to Firebase, and when changes occur in Firebase, they are pushed instantly into scope. This method returns a promise that resolves after the initial value is pulled from Firebase and set in the scope variable.
And with that single line of code... we have the power!
And one more loose end that was bothering me. Up to this point, anyone could control the slideshow, which means many masters, which means chaos. And so I needed a quick way to delineate the presenter aka master of the universe from the viewers. I did this by passing in a URL parameter a la index.html#/?presenter=true; and then, reading it off of the $location.$search object, if the client was not the presenter I would abort any key changes.
[js]
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $location, RemoteSlide) {
//... OMITTED
function onKeyUp(keyCode) {
if(!$scope.isPresenter) return; // Only allow presenter to navigate
if (keyCode === 37) {
prevSlide();
} else if (keyCode === 39) {
nextSlide();
}
}
$scope.isPresenter = ($location.search()).presenter;
//... OMITTED
});
[/js]
Easy? Yep! Could we extend this and make it more robust? Yep! Am I lazy? YEP!
And so just a quick review of everything we covered in this blogpost.
Big props to my BFF Kato @katowulf for letting me be an all around nuisance while managing to write amazing code.

A nice article


We've all heard it, the browser is the future for the mobile applications. Mobile web frameworks are getting a lot of traction lately. Is this the turning point where these frameworks will finally set the developers free from the walled garden model of the Apple App Store and the complexity and resources needed for developing and maintaining a separate code base for each platform out there?
It’s been almost a month since the 1.0 stable release of jQuery Mobile , the touch optimized mobile web framework. Only a year after John Resig announced the project in its first alpha stage, the jQuery team managed to deliver a solid release with an impressive graded support for a wide range of mobile browsers and platforms.
Built upon the jQuery core and the jQuery UI, the framework aims to deliver a quick and easy way to build unified cross-platform HTML5 based user interfaces with a single code base. All you need to start building applications using the framework is knowledge of some JavaScript and some HTML5.
Building a mobile application with jQuery Mobile is extremely easy and fast
One of the biggest advantages of jQuery Mobile is that even as a newcomer to the framework you can develop a rough version of your application in a matter of days as opposed to the native application development for Android and iOS where the learning curve is not quite as steep.
To make your application mobile just include the jQuery Mobile files in your header:
1 2 3 |
|
Add the data attributes to your HTML markup:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
|
And this is the result:
The framework takes care of applying the styles and positioning the elements to fit and scale nicely on any device. With just a couple of html lines we have a template for our mobile application. Off course you can add your custom css styles to tweak the looks to your desires. Also with the release of the 1.0 support for the ThemeRoller tool has been added, so quickly theming your application is a breeze.
The important part in the html snippet above are the HTML5 data-* attributes. The framework relies on these data attributes in order to do it’s magic. Older browser will ignore this attributes and just render the regular html. Basically the layout of a jQuery Mobile application is defined by the data-role attribute. In the above example we can see that we have a divs with data-roles “header”, “content” and “footer” all of which belong to the main page wrapper. Also we added a data-role on the list element in order for the framework to “widgetize” it.
By default, linking to other pages is automatically done via Ajax in a single-page model. All you need to do is define a standard links and the framework will take care of it. If the device doesn’t support Ajax for some reason the framework falls back to standard http requests. Another cool feature of the framework is linking within a multi-page document. A single page can contain many page containers defined by the data-role of “page” which means immediate display of the clicked page. When using this techniques combined with the page transition effects, the user experience feels almost “native app” like.
Web vs Native
Currently the biggest argument being used against the wider adoption of the mobile web applications is the limited access to the client device features. A common example to address this issue is combining the framework with tools like PhoneGap and delivering the application as native. Combining the framework with tools like PhoneGap also minimizes the lower performance issues since all of the resources can be loaded from the device.
Hopefully we will see a quick adoption of the proposed WebAPI specifications by Mozilla that define a standard of APIs that would give the browser high level access to the device components like GPS api, filesystem api, accelerometer api, dialer, messaging etc.
Conclusion
While all of those features provided by the jQuery Mobile framework are really cool and exciting, does the framework really provides a mature native-like feel and functionality to the applications built with it?
The jQuery team have done a great job by providing a nicely packed framework with lots of features like progressive enhancement approach, theming framework, unified widgets, modular design, a great cross-browser compatibility, even for older and less capable browsers and devices. But there is much left to be desired in the performance area. Even when trying the simple examples on a high end devices the page transition effects and the general user flow feels a little clunky. This is the area that jQuery Mobile fails short when compared to the native applications and even other Mobile Application frameworks (jQTouch or Sencha ) but it probably be fixed in near future with the polishing of the rough edges.


Kingsbridge opens doors to new state-of-the-art £1m ward
THE first phase of expansion plans has been completed by Kingsbridge Healthcare Group with the opening of a new £1 million six-bed ward at Kingsbridge Private Hospital in Belfast.
And the group says that over the next 18 months it will be increasing patient capacity by 30 per cent and taking on 30 new staff to service a range of innovative facilities and services.
These include an on-site pharmacy and luxury rooms with flat screen TV, en-suite facilities and bespoke reclining chairs for patients and settee bed should visitors require.
Local artist Kathryn Callaghan was also commissioned to create a vibrant artwork of the Mournes for each room.
Kingsbridge Healthcare Group (formerly 3fivetwo Group) have also extended their successful Private GP service which is now open at their Maypole Clinic in Holywood.
Mark Regan, chief executive at Kingsbridge, said the investment reflects the group's aim to bring five-star service and facilities to all their patients, many of whom travel from the Republic of Ireland for treatment.
"We are simply responding to increased demand," he said.
"More local people are self-funding or using private health insurance to avoid lengthy hospital waiting lists, particularly for procedures for hips and knees, which is why we are ranked in the top 10 of 200 private hospitals on the UK's National Joint Register.
"It's also not hard to see why a lot of our patients liken Kingsbridge to a hotel rather than a hospital. Along with excellent medical service, we provide first class accommodation, along with meals made from local produce by our own in-house chef."
Dr Regan added: "We're delighted to get this project delivered to deadline, thanks to the dedication of the Kingsbridge team, led by general manager Sarah Marks, and look forward to the next phase of our expansion in 2020."

Hartlepool hit back to take point against Boreham Wood
The visitors had held a two-goal lead.
Boreham Wood threw away a two-goal advantage to draw 2-2 at Hartlepool in the Vanarama National League.
The visitors took the lead from the penalty spot in the 26th minute, with Sorba Thomas stroking home.
Wood doubled their advantage after the break, with Brentford loanee Justin Shaibu playing in Kabongo Tshimanga and he put away a second.
Tyrone Marsh thought he had scored a third for the hosts six minutes later but his effort was ruled out for offside.
Hartlepool, who had Dave Challinor in charge of a home game for the first time, pulled one back in the 70th minute when Ryan Donaldson teed-up Nicky Featherstone to slot the ball into the corner.
Pools levelled from the spot with six minutes remaining after a foul in the box by Marsh, with substitute Gime Toure stepping up to score, but they could not find an unlikely winner.


CV
Work Experience
Digital Scholarship Librarian
I support faculty, staff, students, and colleagues within the library in developing and teaching with digital scholarship. I support the mission and day-to-day operations of the Digital Scholarship Lab (the lab). Leveraging 9 years of experience in web based library software development, I create and work with code and web resources in support of the lab and the library. Finally, I stay abreast of new technologies and strategically learn new skills and methodologies, dependent on the needs of the lab’s partners and patrons, with particular focus on Omeka S and digital collections. I am currently working with two different projects that are implementing Omeka S instances, and I’m a developer on the team building a new repository platform.
Before working in the lab, I was part of the Digital Scholarship & Curation Services unit. As a member of that unit, I re-framed the Digital Scholarship (Technology) Librarian role into one that incorporated both technical
expertise and instruction. I led a team of colleagues from multiple departments to create a style guide for the digital repository. DS&CS also advised colleagues in the library and across campus regarding digitization and digital preservation best practices.
Digital Library Programmer
As a Digital Library Programmer, My role was to plan, code, test, and implement technologies and systems to
promote and advance the library mission. I worked with the repository team, as well as with Catalog Services, to further develop and enhance in-house, open source, and vendor created software and interfaces.
The emphasis of my work was on areas related to discovery and collection stewardship. In particular, I developed a workflow for automating transcription of audio materials, and selected, tested, and implemented an Islandora module in order to display transcripts. I was also an advocate for transitioning the repository team to the Agile/Scrum methodology, and was a founding member of the group that completed the successful pilot.
Web Services & Emerging Technologies Librarian
My role was to create content for, design, implement, and maintain the library website, including one full site migration and one redesign. I was the technical lead on the Library’s Summon implementation. I was responsible for administering the library ILS including server hardware and software maintenance, for the system shared between the college and public library. I facilitated a system migration from III Millennium to III Sierra during that time. I worked with librarians, faculty, and other stakeholders to manage the overall library web presence, including LibGuides, ILLiad, Summon, 360Link, the web catalog and eventually the digital repository. I trained and managed a student worker to assist with redesign and code refactoring projects, and I designed and implemented a Git workflow to improve our ability to collaborate efficiently.
Adjunct Reference/Instruction Librarian
Taught course-integrated library instruction for a variety of classes, particularly English 101. Provided reference assistance and technology help to students, faculty, and staff at the reference desk, via email and chat, and by phone. Adjunct instructed one section of English 101 in Spring 2011.
Instruction & Reference Short-Term Position
I was hired upon graduation in December 2009, after concluding my internship, to continue reference and instruction. My role was primarily to assist with the library instruction request load; I worked with various undergraduate classes providing course-integrated instruction. I participated as a memeber of the Lesson Study curriculum development committee, including giving test instructional sessions. I provided reference assistance at the desk and over chat. I worked with Amanda Peters on the annual Cafe Shapiro student writing contest and event. Finally, I analyzed the Shapiro Undergraduate Library's web presence in relation to that of other campus library sites and made recommendations for improvement.

| Degree: | M.S. Geographic Information Systems | |
| Institution: | University of Redlands | |
| Location: | Redlands, CA | |
| Period: | August 2003 - August 2004 | |
| Web: | MS GIS Program | |
| Program: |
The M.S. GIS program at the University of Redlands is nationally-recognized and one of the
first professional GIS degree programs.
Its proximity to the ESRI campus in Redlands affords a unique relationship with the industry leader.
The program includs a regular onsite colloquium series and mentoring with ESRI professionals.
I was in the fourth class (cohort). For my Major Individual Project (the program's thesis) I wanted to do something practical. During my time at the Audubon Research Ranch I became aware of the Sonoita-Elgin, Arizona, Emergency Services organization and the unique challenges facing a rural volunteer emergency response agency. I met with the Chief of SEESI and with his approval initiated a project to apply the capability of GIS in support of the operation. In the course of the project I wrote an ESRI grant proposal which was awarded and funded the technology requirements for GIS to be instantiated. It included computer hardware and ESRI software and licensing. The thesis was published through ESRI press and the abstract and documentation can be found here. If it's been moved, try this. |

I am 26 years old. I began experimenting with drugs around 14, and embarked on an intensive quest of spirit and all things psychedelic from 18 to 20. I did retain a spiritual streak after that but became bogged down in my depression and stressful job and just drank heavily and smoked a lot of hash for a couple of years.
For over two years now, I have been a regular recreational user of moderate to high doses of varied pharmaceutical opioids, including codeine, dihydrocodeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine. I take these to curb my severe depression as well as to enhance my meditation in self-awareness and higher-consciousness communication in an effort to overcome that depression, and in this I have been increasingly successful. I am not on any other prescription medications or herbal remedies except for a whole-food nutritional supplement. I recently procured some Tramadol.
I started with 50mg of Tramadol around 9pm and took another 50mg dose half an hour later because I wasnít feeling anything. They kicked in about 20 minutes after the second dose. Unlike regular opioids that tend to hit me with a very noticeable surge of euphoria, the onset of Tramadol was very gradual and its effects, at least at this dose, remained mild throughout its full duration, which lasted about six to seven hours.
Tramadolís most distinguishing contrast from analgesic opioids is the alertness it gives me, not dissimilar to that of quality crystal meth, albeit without any of the other ďspeedyĒ effects. In fact, my friend and I agree that Tramadol feels very much like an opiate/ methamphetamine hybrid in the sense that it offers some of the calming effects of opioids plus the heightened mental and sensory acuity of good meth. It also quite closely resembles unidentified substance(s) that we have both experienced in professional high-stress training settings where presumably those in charge slipped a little something into the candy dish or water (occupational hazard). Unfortunately, neither of us has any idea what that might have been.
My friend and roommate (male, 38, 150lbs) arrived around the time I took the second dose of Tramadol and took 100mg himself. I have never been a big fan of uppers, so when the effects became apparent to me, I took 10mg of Valium and 30mg of Codeine to mellow out my nerves. My friend took only the Tramadol.
Neither of us are very social when we take opiates, he usually retiring to his room to read and I to mine to meditate, but during this and subsequent experiences with Tramadol, we have invariably preferred to engage in conversation, usually of an intellectual or spiritual nature. On this night, we talked about ethics in sociopolitical issues and explored some less conventional areas like consciously induced paranormal activity through attaining a level of mental discipline and how magnetic and seismic activity affect ergonomics in certain geographic locations throughout the world. While weíre both interested in such topics, weíre usually too distracted or depressed to care enough to explore them in any detail. Tramadol enabled us to put aside those concerns that quietly but constantly nag us at the back of our minds and instead focus entirely on the presented material.
We also discussed at length the Kennedy assassination, one of my friendís favorite and most extensively researched subjects to lecture on, which I normally canít stand listening to. In the course of this, we looked at some of the autopsy photos on the web. The close-up of the colorized head wound disturbed me quite a bit and had me feeling uneasy for the rest of the evening, although this would probably not have been an issue with me on opiates. It seems that I can communicate much more collectedly and empathically on Tramadol than on opiates but at the same time am much more easily unsettled by certain ideas and memories. I also find that Tramadol is not the best medium for lucid meditation or deep introspection. When I take it alone on the rare occasion, I usually write blogs and emails or dote on my cats.
The physical effects are not very pronounced. I did experience slight muscle tension, but this also happens to me on opiates. There was no clumsiness usually associated with opiates. I could easily function well at work on this if I wanted to. I had read that Tramadol can be quite nauseating, so I made sure to eat about an hour before taking the pills. As long as I sat still, there was little to no nausea. I had absolutely no appetite, although my friend gobbled down a bunch of cookies and milk while he was high. It is fairly constipating, but possibly not as much as opiates (hard for me to say for sure because I use so frequently, but friend who rarely uses agrees on this).
My friend, being a chronic workaholic who gets very little sleep during the week, managed to doze off after four hours, but I couldnít sleep even though it was way past my usual bedtime. I just lay awake in bed with my friend and our cats, listening to some Errol Garner. Jazz isnít my usual choice of music, but I really enjoyed the soft and easygoing feeling it gave me. I was somewhat ashamed of myself for forgetting that my cat loved jazz but was pleased by his incessant purring which eventually put me to sleep.
Although drug effects vary from one individual to another, I think I can safely say that this would make a fairly good therapy drug, especially for those who are shy or have a lot of anger or other challenges hindering smooth communication. It allowed us to ease up and open up just enough to respect each otherís space and feelings without losing ourselves to the overly intense empathic effect of some other drugs that have been advocated for use in a therapeutic setting. Tramadol definitely has its place, although I donít think Iíll ever become addicted as long as I have a supply of my preferred poison. Psychotropically, for me, this is not a suitable long-term replacement for opiates.

Workcell Initialization¶
Folder structure¶
It is (Highly) recommended to select the same workspace location as the workspace that you lodaded this package in.
From the main window, choose your workspace location. Ensure that the folder selected is the main workspace folder, i.e catkin_ws or colcon_ws
Once you see the confirmation message that the workcell is loaded, you can then check that folder using your file explorer and you will see the various folders required to store your assets created. Choose the ROS version and distribution required and click next to be directed to the scene select window
Folder Structure for Assets¶
This package requires a standardized folder structure in order for the workcell builder to function well. This serves as good practice as well for users to store their files in a logical and standardized format. The following is how your folder should be structured
|--workcell_ws
___|--src
______|--scenes
______|--assets
_________|--robots
____________|--robot_brand
_______________|--robot_model_description
_______________|--robot_model_moveit_config
_________|--end_effectors
____________|--end_effector_brand
_______________|--end_effector_model_description
_______________|--end_effector_model_moveit_config
_________|--environment_objects
____________|--environment_objects_description
The rest of the documentation will highlight how it should be populated.
Generating Moveit Config packages¶
One key feature of this package is to generate workcell simulations that is compatible with path planning frameworks. The current version of the workcell builder is designed to be compatible with Moveit, a popular open source motion planning framework
The moveit configuration packages are required if you want to control your robot with the moveit (and the grasp execution component of easy_manipulation_deployment). It is recommended to use the Moveit Setup Assistant it is recommended to use this to generate the package rather than to do it yourself. Below are some existing moveit_config folders
FOR ROS 2¶
Note that the setup wizard only generates ROS1 packages for now, so if you are using ROS2, please convert the moveit_config packages to ROS2 before starting.
ROS2 Examples (ur5_moveit_config)
CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10.2)
project(ur5_moveit_config)
find_package(ament_cmake REQUIRED)
install(DIRECTORY launch DESTINATION "share/${PROJECT_NAME}")
install(DIRECTORY config DESTINATION "share/${PROJECT_NAME}")
ament_package()
package.xml

Uploading Relevant Assets¶
Before generating a scene, you need to make sure you have the assets you need for the scene, especially for the robot and end effector.
Robots¶
For increased reusability and ease of visualization, we will create separate folders for separate vendors of Robots. For example, we will create a folder to store UR robots
$ cd workcell_ws/src/assets/robots
$ mkdir universal_robot
Copy over the moveit_config folder and description folders of the relevant robot models you want to add, ensuring that the folder names and file names follow the naming Conventions
End Effector¶
Simlarly for End Effectors, we will create a separate folder for each End Effector Vendor. For example, we will create a folder to store Robotiq Grippers
$ cd workcell_ws/src/assets/end_effectors
$ mkdir robotiq
Copy over the moveit_config folder and description folders of the relevant end_effector models you want to add, ensuring that the folder names and file names follow the naming Conventions
Environment Objects¶
For objects that is part of the environment that will be used as static collision objects, it should be stored in the workcell_ws/src/assets/environment folder.
*Current version of the GUI does not support loading of existing environment objects. For simple environment objects, consider creating a copy of the environment objects with the gui instead

| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::move) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, struct wl_resource *seat, uint32_t serial) |
start an interactive move
Start a pointer-driven move of the surface.
This request must be used in response to a button press event. The server may ignore move requests depending on the state of the surface (e.g. fullscreen or maximized).
| seat | seat whose pointer is used |
| serial | serial number of the implicit grab on the pointer |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::pong) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, uint32_t serial) |
respond to a ping event
A client must respond to a ping event with a pong request or the client may be deemed unresponsive.
| serial | serial number of the ping event |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::resize) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, struct wl_resource *seat, uint32_t serial, uint32_t edges) |
start an interactive resize
Start a pointer-driven resizing of the surface.
This request must be used in response to a button press event. The server may ignore resize requests depending on the state of the surface (e.g. fullscreen or maximized).
| seat | seat whose pointer is used |
| serial | serial number of the implicit grab on the pointer |
| edges | which edge or corner is being dragged |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_class) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, const char *class_) |
set surface class
Set a class for the surface.
The surface class identifies the general class of applications to which the surface belongs. A common convention is to use the file name (or the full path if it is a non-standard location) of the application's .desktop file as the class.
| class_ | surface class |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_fullscreen) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, uint32_t method, uint32_t framerate, struct wl_resource *output) |
make the surface a fullscreen surface
Map the surface as a fullscreen surface.
If an output parameter is given then the surface will be made fullscreen on that output. If the client does not specify the output then the compositor will apply its policy - usually choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface area.
The client may specify a method to resolve a size conflict between the output size and the surface size - this is provided through the method parameter.
The framerate parameter is used only when the method is set to "driver", to indicate the preferred framerate. A value of 0 indicates that the client does not care about framerate. The framerate is specified in mHz, that is framerate of 60000 is 60Hz.
A method of "scale" or "driver" implies a scaling operation of the surface, either via a direct scaling operation or a change of the output mode. This will override any kind of output scaling, so that mapping a surface with a buffer size equal to the mode can fill the screen independent of buffer_scale.
A method of "fill" means we don't scale up the buffer, however any output scale is applied. This means that you may run into an edge case where the application maps a buffer with the same size of the output mode but buffer_scale 1 (thus making a surface larger than the output). In this case it is allowed to downscale the results to fit the screen.
The compositor must reply to this request with a configure event with the dimensions for the output on which the surface will be made fullscreen.
| method | method for resolving size conflict |
| framerate | framerate in mHz |
| output | output on which the surface is to be fullscreen |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_maximized) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, struct wl_resource *output) |
make the surface a maximized surface
Map the surface as a maximized surface.
If an output parameter is given then the surface will be maximized on that output. If the client does not specify the output then the compositor will apply its policy - usually choosing the output on which the surface has the biggest surface area.
The compositor will reply with a configure event telling the expected new surface size. The operation is completed on the next buffer attach to this surface.
A maximized surface typically fills the entire output it is bound to, except for desktop elements such as panels. This is the main difference between a maximized shell surface and a fullscreen shell surface.
The details depend on the compositor implementation.
| output | output on which the surface is to be maximized |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_popup) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, struct wl_resource *seat, uint32_t serial, struct wl_resource *parent, int32_t x, int32_t y, uint32_t flags) |
make the surface a popup surface
Map the surface as a popup.
A popup surface is a transient surface with an added pointer grab.
An existing implicit grab will be changed to owner-events mode, and the popup grab will continue after the implicit grab ends (i.e. releasing the mouse button does not cause the popup to be unmapped).
The popup grab continues until the window is destroyed or a mouse button is pressed in any other client's window. A click in any of the client's surfaces is reported as normal, however, clicks in other clients' surfaces will be discarded and trigger the callback.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the upper left corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the parent surface, in surface-local coordinates.
| seat | seat whose pointer is used |
| serial | serial number of the implicit grab on the pointer |
| parent | parent surface |
| x | surface-local x coordinate |
| y | surface-local y coordinate |
| flags | transient surface behavior |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_title) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, const char *title) |
set surface title
Set a short title for the surface.
This string may be used to identify the surface in a task bar, window list, or other user interface elements provided by the compositor.
The string must be encoded in UTF-8.
| title | surface title |
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_toplevel) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource) |
make the surface a toplevel surface
Map the surface as a toplevel surface.
A toplevel surface is not fullscreen, maximized or transient.
| void(* wl_shell_surface_interface::set_transient) (struct wl_client *client, struct wl_resource *resource, struct wl_resource *parent, int32_t x, int32_t y, uint32_t flags) |
make the surface a transient surface
Map the surface relative to an existing surface.
The x and y arguments specify the location of the upper left corner of the surface relative to the upper left corner of the parent surface, in surface-local coordinates.
The flags argument controls details of the transient behaviour.
| parent | parent surface |
| x | surface-local x coordinate |
| y | surface-local y coordinate |
| flags | transient surface behavior |


What field has..
- the best-rated job, and 5 of the top 10 highest paid, highest growth jobs?
- shown strong job growth in the face of outsourcing?
- a looming severe shortage in college graduates?
Computer Science!
Computer Science (CS) jobs are among the highest paid, highest satisfaction jobs of the projected highest growth jobs through 2014. Growth rates for CS jobs have solidly exceeded the outsourcing rate and employment has exceeded the dot-com boom, yet students listing CS as a probable major have dropped by 70% because outsourcing is perceived as a threat. A severe shortage of CS graduates looms, and promises excellent opportunities for savvy students.
Noteworthy Facts:
Software engineers top list of best jobs according to a Money magazine and Salary.com survey based on "strong growth prospects, average pay of $80,500 and potential for creativity". [1]
5 computing jobs are in the top 10 salary jobs from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' list of the 30 fastest growing jobs through 2014. [2]
1. Computer systems software engineer: $81,140
2. Computer applications software engineer: $76,310
6. Computer systems analyst: $67,520
7. Database administrator: $61,950
9. Network systems and data communication analyst: $61,250
- In April 2006, more Americans were employed in IT than at any time in the nation's history. [3]
- In May 2004, "U.S. IT employment was 17% higher than in 1999 - 5% higher than the bubble in 2000 and showing an 8% growth in the [following] year ... the compound annual growth rate of IT wages has been about 4% since 1999 while inflation has been just 2% per year? Such growth rates swamp predictions of the outsourcing job loss in the U.S., which most studies estimate to be 2% to 3% per year for the next decade." [4]
"According to the National Science Foundation, the need for science and engineering graduates will grow 26%, or 1.25 million, between now and 2012. The number of jobs requiring technical training is growing at five times the rate of other occupations. And U.S. schools are nowhere near meeting the demand, according to multiple studies." [5]
The percentage of college freshmen listing computer science as their probable major fell 70% between 2000 and 2004. [6]
Considering decreasing supply and increasing demand, there is much promise for today's CS majors!

If you want to manage your mobile device web presence from a single site, you can create a MicroSite that forms part of your main site but is only visible to mobile device users. A MicroSite consists of a single parent page and multiple child pages that can be created and managed from your main site in the same way as you would normally create site pages.
Here's how to build a MicroSite:
In the below example, the parent page of the MicroSite is called "Products - Mobile"
Notice that when you select a child page of the MicroSite that the child page displays in the mobile skin menu.

COVID-19, otherwise known as coronavirus disease 2019, is a new infectious disease caused by a previously unknown virus called SARS-CoV-2.
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are:
The most common symptoms of COVID-19 are:
⦿fever,
⦿dry cough,
⦿tiredness,
⦿loss of taste or smell.
⦿Other symptoms include: nasal congestion, conjunctivitis (red eyes), sore throat, headache, muscle or joint pain, skin rash, nausea or vomiting, diarrhoea, chills or dizziness.
Some people get more seriously ill with COVID-19 and may have symptoms such as shortness of breath, loss of appetite, confusion, chest pain or a high temperature. These people will need medical care. In critical cases, COVID-19 can lead to death.
COVID-19 affects different people in different ways. Some people do not have any symptoms and may not even know they have the virus. You can still pass COVID-19 on even if you aren’t showing any symptoms, so it’s important to always follow the prevention advice.

Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases, before they come into contact with them. It uses your body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger.
Both vaccines are injected into a muscle (“intramuscular”). Intramuscular vaccines are usually injected into the shoulder muscle called the deltoid.
Both the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine and the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine , require two doses. The interval (or, spacing) between the Pfizer vaccine dose 1 and dose 2 is 21 days. The interval (or, spacing) between the Moderna vaccine, dose 1 and dose 2 is 28 days.
It is not yet known how long a person who gets the vaccine will be protected: it could be lifetime, like the polio vaccine or it could be a year, like the flu shot. Experts are studying this to learn more, and we will share new evidence as it becomes available.
Yes, eventually. Initial vaccine supply will be limited so not everyone will be able to be vaccinated right away. COVID-19 vaccine will be given to people at highest risk first. Based on the recommendations from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine’s Framework for Equitable Allocation of COVID-19 Vaccine, a phased and equitable distribution plan has been developed for New Hampshire.
As we reported in January, when you will get the vaccine depends on your age and what you do for a living. It also matters where you live; New Jersey, for instance, started letting anyone with medical risk factors get vaccinated, while Los Angeles County stuck to a more restrictive tiered system. Some areas offered extra vaccine doses on a first-come, first-served basis, while others ran out.
Two key reasons to get vaccinated are to protect ourselves and to protect those around us. Because not everyone can be vaccinated – including very young babies, those who are seriously ill or have certain allergies – they depend on others being vaccinated to ensure they are also safe from vaccine-preventable diseases.
The most commonly used vaccines have been around for decades, with millions of people receiving them safely every year. As with all medicines, every vaccine must go through extensive and rigorous testing to ensure it is safe before it can be introduced in a country. An experimental vaccine is first tested in animals to evaluate its safety and potential to prevent disease. It is then tested in human clinical trials, in three phases
Vaccination is safe and side effects from a vaccine are usually minor and temporary, such as a sore arm or mild fever. More serious side effects are possible, but extremely rare. Any licensed vaccine is rigorously tested across multiple phases of trials before it is approved for use, and regularly reassessed once it is introduced. Scientists are also constantly monitoring information from several sources for any sign that a vaccine may cause health risks.
Like any medicine, vaccines can cause mild side effects, such as a low-grade fever, or pain or redness at the injection site. Mild reactions go away within a few days on their own. Severe or long-lasting side effects are extremely rare. Vaccines are continually monitored for safety, to detect rare adverse events.
Vaccination for COVID-19 is voluntary. However, it is advisable to receive the complete schedule of COVID-19 vaccine for protecting one-self against this disease and also to limit the spread of this disease to the close contacts including family members, friends, relatives and co-workers.
Yes. The COVID 19 vaccine introduced in India will be as effective as any vaccine developed by other countries. Various phases of vaccine trials are undertaken to ensure its safety and efficacy.
Yes. Persons with one or more of these comorbid conditions are considered high risk category. They need to get COVID -19 vaccination.
Protective levels of antibodies are generally developed two weeks after receiving the 2nd dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Children and adolescents under age 16 are not eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Those under age 19 are not eligible to receive the Moderna vaccine as there are not data on the safety and efficacy in this population. While pregnant or immunocompromised individuals were also not included in the first round of trials, patients who are pregnant, lactating, or immunocompromised are able to determine if they wish to receive the vaccine. These patients are encouraged to have a discussion on the potential benefits and risks with their family physician. As with other vaccines, anyone who has a fever or other symptoms may not be able to get the vaccine until their symptoms resolve. This includes those who have symptoms or are positive for COVID-19. There is also caution for people with documented anaphylactic reactions to vaccines. Individuals with a known allergy to any of the vaccine components should not be immunized.
Yes. Unless you are currently actively infected with COVID-19, you should get the vaccine. Studies have shown that some individuals can get the disease more than once. However, if you were treated for COVID-19 symptoms with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine.

Scientific feature types package
These are interfaces that define access to specialized "scientific feature" datasets. There are three types of interfaces:
- FeatureType: atomic type usually defined by its dimensionality and topology.
- Collection: a homogeneous collection of atomic types, specifying the nature of the collection.
- Dataset: one or more Collections of a particular FeatureType, with dataset metadata.
A FeatureDataset and VariableSimpleIF are lightweight abstractions of NetcdfDataset and Variable, which allows implementations that are
not necessarily based on NetcdfDataset objects.

There are two ways you can access the Sourcery Probe console: USB and telnet. The following sections describe how to use both access methods.
Accessing the Sourcery Probe Console via USB
This section provides the steps required to establish serial communication with the probe, which is required for some configuration procedures.
Procedure
Connect one end of the USB cable (P/N 600-76787) to a USB port on your host computer.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB connector of the probe, labeled CONFIG, shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1.
Sourcery Probe Professional with USB Cable Attached
In Windows, you might need a driver before you can access the CONFIG port. The driver is installed automatically. If you find that drivers are not automatically installed:
Click the Windows Start button and type device into the search box.
Click Device Manager in the search results to launch it.
If the probe registered, but failed to find drivers, there will be two USB devices listed in the Device Manager screen with problems (
). Right-click the USB device and select the option to install or update the drivers. Select the option to search Microsoft Update for a driver.
Identify the serial port device assigned to the probe.
In Windows® XP, select
Start > Settings > Control Panel >Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Device Manager > Ports and then select USB serial port from the ports list.
On Windows 7, select Start > Control Panel >Hardware and Sound > Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT).
On Linux, the device file is located at: /dev/ttyUSB0.
Set up your terminal or terminal communication software (for example, Sourcery CodeBench Terminal View) as shown in Figure 4-2.
Figure 4-2.
Terminal View
Turn on power to the probe. If the power is already on, push the reset button.
When prompted, press Enter. A boot screen will appear. Follow the instructions in the boot screen,
Once you are connected to the probe, the login banner is displayed and the core> command-line prompt appears. Type help for a list of the core commands.
Accessing the Sourcery Probe Console Using Telnet
You can use telnet to connect to the Sourcery Probe Professional Target configuration console remotely over Ethernet.
Procedure
Start a telnet session and connect to the Configuration console for the probe. You can use the Terminal view in Sourcery CodeBench to do this. To open the Terminal view, from Sourcery CodeBench select Window > Show Views > Other. From the Show View dialog box, Select Terminal > Terminal and click OK.
telnet {hostname | ip_address}
Use the host name or IP address of the probe. For static IP, the host name must be the same one you entered into the hosts database file. The Configuration port number of the probe is 23.
The login banner is displayed, followed by the core> command-line prompt.
Results
You should now have access to the configuration console for your target system.

Some Common Issues with Functions#
Some aspects of defining functions (e.g., for differentiation or plotting) can be confusing. In this section we try to address some of the relevant issues.
Here are several ways to define things which might deserve to be called “functions”:
1. Define a Python function, as described in Functions, Indentation, and Counting. These functions can be plotted, but not differentiated or integrated.
sage: def f(z): return z^2
sage: type(f)
<... 'function'>
sage: f(3)
9
sage: plot(f, 0, 2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
In the last line, note the syntax. Using plot(f(z), 0, 2)
instead
will give a NameError
, because z
is a dummy variable in the
definition of f
and is not defined outside of that definition.
In order to be able to use f(z)
in the plot command, z
(or whatever is desired) needs to be defined as a variable. We
can use the syntax below, or in the next item in our list.
sage: var('z') # define z to be a variable
z
sage: f(z)
z^2
sage: plot(f(z), 0, 2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
At this point, f(z)
is a symbolic expression, the next item in our
list.
2. Define a “callable symbolic expression”. These can be plotted, differentiated, and integrated.
sage: g(x) = x^2
sage: g # g sends x to x^2
x |--> x^2
sage: g(3)
9
sage: Dg = g.derivative(); Dg
x |--> 2*x
sage: Dg(3)
6
sage: type(g)
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
sage: plot(g, 0, 2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
Note that while g
is a callable symbolic expression, g(x)
is a
related, but different sort of object, which can also be plotted,
differentated, etc., albeit with some issues: see item 5 below for an
illustration.
sage: g(x)
x^2
sage: type(g(x))
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
sage: g(x).derivative()
2*x
sage: plot(g(x), 0, 2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
3. Use a pre-defined Sage ‘calculus function’. These can be plotted, and with a little help, differentiated, and integrated.
sage: type(sin)
<class 'sage.functions.trig.Function_sin'>
sage: plot(sin, 0, 2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
sage: type(sin(x))
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
sage: plot(sin(x), 0, 2)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
By itself, sin
cannot be differentiated, at least not to produce
cos
.
sage: f = sin
sage: f.derivative()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AttributeError: ...
Using f = sin(x)
instead of sin
works, but it is probably even
better to use f(x) = sin(x)
to define a callable symbolic
expression.
sage: S(x) = sin(x)
sage: S.derivative()
x |--> cos(x)
Here are some common problems, with explanations:
4. Accidental evaluation.
sage: def h(x):
....: if x<2:
....: return 0
....: else:
....: return x-2
The issue: plot(h(x), 0, 4)
plots the line \(y=x-2\), not the multi-line
function defined by h
. The reason? In the command plot(h(x), 0, 4)
,
first h(x)
is evaluated: this means plugging the symbolic variable x
into the function h
. So, the inequality x < 2
evaluates to False
first,
and hence h(x)
evaluates to x - 2
. This can be seen with
sage: bool(x < 2)
False
sage: h(x)
x - 2
Note that here there are two different x
: the Python variable used to
define the function h
(which is local to its definition) and the symbolic
variable x
which is available on startup in Sage.
The solution: don’t use plot(h(x), 0, 4)
; instead, use
sage: plot(h, 0, 4)
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
5. Accidentally producing a constant instead of a function.
sage: f = x
sage: g = f.derivative()
sage: g
1
The problem: g(3)
, for example, returns an error, saying
“ValueError: the number of arguments must be less than or equal to 0.”
sage: type(f)
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
sage: type(g)
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
g
is not a function, it’s a constant, so it has no variables
associated to it, and you can’t plug anything into it.
The solution: there are several options.
Define
f
initially to be a symbolic expression.
sage: f(x) = x # instead of 'f = x'
sage: g = f.derivative()
sage: g
x |--> 1
sage: g(3)
1
sage: type(g)
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
Or with
f
as defined originally, defineg
to be a symbolic expression.
sage: f = x
sage: g(x) = f.derivative() # instead of 'g = f.derivative()'
sage: g
x |--> 1
sage: g(3)
1
sage: type(g)
<class 'sage.symbolic.expression.Expression'>
Or with
f
andg
as defined originally, specify the variable for which you are substituting.
sage: f = x
sage: g = f.derivative()
sage: g
1
sage: g(x=3) # instead of 'g(3)'
1
Finally, here’s one more way to tell the difference between the
derivatives of f = x
and f(x) = x
sage: f(x) = x
sage: g = f.derivative()
sage: g.variables() # the variables present in g
()
sage: g.arguments() # the arguments which can be plugged into g
(x,)
sage: f = x
sage: h = f.derivative()
sage: h.variables()
()
sage: h.arguments()
()
As this example has been trying to illustrate, h
accepts no
arguments, and this is why h(3)
returns an error.

Service not found
You tried to access the service which was not found.
Some possible causes of this might be:
- The service is not running (check with
navy ps
) - The service has crashed
- A service with the name given doesn't exist
- You used the wrong IP address in the nip.io URL (check url with
navy url [servicename]
)


During last week I've got bloked for few times, once I had wrong spelling, other time I've missed quotes etc. When it is a 'stupid' mistake I'm a bit angry with myself and I try to be more careful with details but when I'm able to find the solution I'm happy and full of energy:)
When I'm blocked I'm try to figure it out what's wrong, I'm reading error messages, sometimes I'm googling the problem and then, when I can't find the right solution I'm asking my peers for help.
I'm quite confident with all the problem solving techniques, except 'rubber ducky method' and 'pseudocode' which I could improve.
The map() method creates a new array with the results of calling a provided function on every element in this array
var new_array = arr.map(callback[, thisArg])
The filter() method creates a new array with all elements that pass the test implemented by the provided function
var newArray = arr.filter(callback[, thisArg])
The reduce() method applies a function against an accumulator and each element in the array to reduce it to a single value
arr.reduce(callback, [initialValue])
