Lab Goals
The primary goal of this exercise will be to load some JSON data in from a file and use it as a source to display information in an iOS, Android and Windows application. The code to manage the loading of the file will be completely shared between the projects using a Shared Project.
We will need to do the following steps
- Create a new Shared Project.
- Add 2 shared source files (Song.cs and SongLoader.cs) to the shared project - these have already been written for you and are in the lab resources folder.
- Add a reference to the Shared Project to each of your target projects (see the above note about Visual Studio)
- Add a Nuget reference to Newtonsoft's Json.net parser which is used by the shared project code into each target project.
- Add a data file into each of the target projects which is processed by the shared code.
- Modify the shared code to properly load the file based on the platform.
Accessing local files in iOS, Android, and Windows
Required Assets
There are included resources in the Part 01 Resources folder which are needed to complete this exercise. These are included with the course materials, so make sure you have them available before starting.
Exercise Challenge
Using the above high level steps, try to accomplish the lab goals on your own. If you need some additional help, there are step-by-step instructions below which you can use if you get stuck or need a hint.
Steps
Select the IDE environment you want to work with: Visual Studio for Mac or Visual Studio for Windows
Open the Starter Solution
- Open the starting project MyTunes included in the Part 01 Resources folder with Visual Studio on the Mac.
- You will be able to run the iOS and Android projects in this development environment. The Windows project will be disabled (grayed out). The two available projects will present a list of data when run.
Add the Shared Project
- Right click on the Solution node and select Add > Add a New Project.
- Select Shared Project - it can be found in the Multiplatform > Library category. Click Next to continue.
- Name the project "MyTunes.Shared" and click Create to create the project.
- You can delete the template C# file added to the project if there is one. We will replace it with some pre-written files.
Add the code into the Shared Project
-
In the Part 01 Resources folder there is a Assets sub-folder with two C# source files:
- Song.cs - this defines a class which provides information about a single song.
-
SongLoader.cs - this is a class which can parse a Json file off disk into a set of
Song
objects. It utilizes the Newtonsoft Json.net parser.
- Add both C# files to your shared project - you can add existing files to shared projects in the normal fashion, right-click on the project node in the Solution explorer and use the Add > Add Files... option. Navigate to the Data folder and add both files.
- Look at both source files to get a sense of the content you will be working with.
Add a Reference to the Shared Project
- You can add a reference to the Shared Project like any other reference - just right-click on the References Folder and select Edit References.
- In the references dialog, select the Projects tab and then select the Shared Project in the list.
- Do these steps for each of the projects you want to work with (iOS | Android).
- Try to build the projects - it should give you compile errors because we don't have a reference to the Newtonsoft Json.net parser which is used by the shared code.
- If you open the SongLoader.cs file, you will see that the identifiers are all colored in Red.
Add a Nuget reference to Json.net
- Open the Nuget dialog by right-clicking on the Packages folder in each of your platform projects you want to work with (iOS | Android) and selecting Add Packages....
- Search online and find the Newtonsoft Json.net component - it should be one of the first packages displayed due to it's popularity.
- Add the package to each of your supported platforms - the package must be added into the platform-specific projects, notice that the Shared Project does not even have a references node!
-
Look at the
SongLoader
class again - notice it now is color coded properly because the reference has been added. The project should also compile now.
Open the Starter Solution
- Open the starting project MyTunes included in the Part 01 Resources folder with Visual Studio on Windows.
- In Visual Studio, you should be able to build and run all three of the projects - they all present a simple list of data.
Add the Shared Project
Note: Support for working with Shared Projects was was added into Visual Studio 2013 with Update 2 applied. If you are running an older version of Visual Studio, or do not have the latest updates applied, you will not be able to load any solutions with this project type. Please upgrade your IDE to the latest released versions.
Creating and Referencing Shared Projects in Visual Studio 2013
- Right click on the solution node and add a new project.
- Select Shared Project - it can be found under C# if everything is configured properly.
- Name the project "MyTunes.Shared"
Add the code into the Shared Project
-
In the Part 01 Resources folder there is a data sub-folder with two C# source files:
- Song.cs - this defines a class which provides information about a single song.
-
SongLoader.cs - this is a class which can parse a Json file off disk into a set of
Song
objects. It utilizes the Newtonsoft Json.net parser.
- Add both C# files to your shared project - you can add existing files to shared projects in the normal fashion - right-click on the project's node in the Solution Explorer and select Add > Existing Item....
- Look at both source files to get a sense of the content you will be working with.
Add a Reference to the Shared Project
- For Visual Studio 2015 or newer, open the Add Reference dialog, select the Shared Projects section and then select your project:
- Do the same for each of the other projects you want to work with (iOS | Windows | Android).
- Try to build the projects - it should give you compile errors because we don't have a reference to the Newtonsoft Json.net parser which is used by the shared code.
- If you open the SongLoader.cs file, you will see that the identifiers are all colored in Red.
Add a Nuget reference to Json.net
- Open the Nuget references - in Visual Studio, this is available as an option Manage Nuget Packages... on the References folder.
- Visual Studio 2015 or newer uses a new window:
- Use the search box for an online search and find the Newtonsoft Json.net component - it should be one of the first packages displayed due to it's popularity.
- Add the package to each of your supported platforms - the package must be added into the platform-specific projects, notice that the Shared Project does not even have a references node!
-
Look at the
SongLoader
class again - notice it now is color coded properly because the reference has been added. The project should also compile now.
Use the Song Loader
Now, lets's add some code into each project to use the SongLoader to populate the UI. Pick each platform you want to run and use the steps below to adjust the code.
iOS
- Locate the
ViewDidLoad
method in theMyTunesViewController
. - Comment out the existing
TableView.Source
assignment. - Make a call to load the data using
SongLoader.Load
. This method is async, so you will need to decorate the method withasync
and use theawait
keyword. - Take the resulting data and turn it into a
List<Song>
. - Create a new
ViewControllerSource<Song>
and assign the following properties: DataSource
property to your new list.TextProc
to a lambda that returns the name:s => s.Name
.DetailTextProc
to a lambda that returns the artist and album:s => s.Artist + " - " + s.Album
.- Assign the table source to the
TableView.Source
property.
ViewControllerSource
being used here is a simple, generic, UITableViewSource
that uses delegates to identify the text and detail text for a row. You can examine the source code in the corresponding source file.
Android
- Locate the
OnCreate
method in theMainActivity
. - Comment out the existing
ListAdapter
assignment. - Make a call to load the data using
SongLoader.Load
. This method is async, so you will need to decorate the method withasync
and use theawait
keyword. - Take the resulting data and turn it into a
List<Song>
. - Create a new
ListAdapter<Song>
and assign the following properties: DataSource
property to your new list.TextProc
to a lambda that returns the name:s => s.Name
.DetailTextProc
to a lambda that returns the artist and album:s => s.Artist + " - " + s.Album
.- Assign the object to the
ListAdapter
property.
ListAdapter
being used here is a simple, generic, BaseAdapter
that uses delegates to identify the text and detail text for a row. You can examine the source code in the corresponding source file.
Windows (UWP)
- Locate the
OnNavigatedTo
method in theMainPage
. - Make a call to load the data using
SongLoader.Load
. This method is async, so you will need to decorate the method withasync
and use theawait
keyword. - Take the resulting data and assign it to the
DataContext
property. - There is already a
DataTemplate
setup to display the song data. - Remove the `var tempData = ...` declaration since we no longer need the placeholder data.
Make sure all your code compiles. It will fail at runtime because we don't have the data yet - let's do that next.
Add the songs data file
We will add the songs.json file from the Part 01 Resources folder into each target platform project - storing it into the normal resources area for each.
- iOS - Add the songs.json file into the Resources folder and make sure the build action is marked as "BundleResource"
- Android - Add the songs.json file into the Assets folder and make sure the build action is marked as "AndroidAsset"
- Windows - Add the songs.json file into the root of the project (so the filename will match) and set the build action to "Content"
- Make sure all your projects still build succesfully.
Add code to read the file
Since we've got the data file stored in a platform-specific way, we will need to use platform-specific code to get to our data. We can use any of the three approaches outlined in the class session (conditional compilation, cloning and partial classes), and you should experiment and try each one in turn; however for the sake of time, we will use conditional compilation in these instructions.
All our work will be done in the SongLoader
class, specifically the existing OpenData
method which should open the file (the Filename
constant defined in the file) and return a System.IO.Stream
.
iOS
- Add a conditional marker for the iOS code. Xamarin.iOS defines the
__IOS__
symbol for this. - In your conditional code block, use the
System.IO.File.OpenRead
method to open the filename. - Make sure the iOS project builds.
Android
- Add a conditional marker for the Android code. Xamarin.Android defines the
__ANDROID__
symbol for this. - In your conditional code block, use the
Android.App.Application.Context.Assets.Open
method to open the filename. - Make sure the Android project builds.
Windows (UWP)
- Add a conditional marker for the UWP code. Microsoft defines the
WINDOWS_UWP
symbol for this. - In your conditional code block, use the
Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.GetFileAsync
method to open the filename. This returns aStorageFile
. - Call
OpenStreamForRead
on theStorageFile
to retrieve aStream
. - Because Windows UWP APIs are all async, you will need to change the app signature to be
async
and use theawait
keyword - the call site will also need to be adjusted for this. - The other platform code can remain the way it is - you will get a warning from the compiler because no
await
keyword is used even though the method is decorated withasync
. - Make sure the UWP project builds.
Test the applications
- Run each of the platforms - they should all display the song list.
Summary
In this exercise, we have created a Shared Project and used it in an iOS, Android, and Windows application. The library had both platform-agnostic code, as well as some platform-specific code isolated with conditional compilation.

Children are just beginning to learn family relationships and are often interested in who they are and how they are connected to their family and the world at large. However, family history information and stories are rarely shared in a way that children understand or find interesting.
Today's children intuitively understand how to use touch devices such as smartphones and tablets. They use them to play, watch, and learn. The objective of Little Family Tree is to bring a child's personal family history to them through this learning medium and to share it in a way that is accessible to them.
Personal family history information is obtained by having an adult login to an online family tree such as FamilySearch or PhpGedView. An online family tree account is required to play the game..

CHAPTER III
Helping others physically, by removing their physical needs, is indeed great, but the help is great according as the need is greater and according as the help is far reaching. If a man's wants can be removed for an hour, it is helping him indeed; if his wants can be removed for a year, it will be more help to him; but if his wants can be removed for ever, it is surely the greatest help that can be given him. Spiritual knowledge is the only thing that can destroy our miseries for ever; any other knowledge satisfies wants only for a time. It is only with the knowledge of the spirit that the faculty of want is annihilated for ever; so helping man spiritually is the highest help that can be given to him. He who gives man spiritual knowledge is the greatest benefactor of mankind and as such we always find that those were the most powerful of men who helped man in his spiritual needs, because spirituality is the true basis of all our activities in life. A spiritually strong and sound man will be strong in every other respect, if he so wishes. Until there is spiritual strength in man even physical needs cannot be well satisfied. Next to spiritual comes intellectual help. The gift of knowledge is a far higher gift than that of food and clothes; it is even higher than giving life to a man, because the real life of man consists of knowledge. Ignorance is death, knowledge is life. Life is of very little value, if it is a life in the dark, groping through ignorance and misery. Next in order comes, of course, helping a man physically. Therefore, in considering the question of helping others, we must always strive not to commit the mistake of thinking that physical help is the only help that can be given. It is not only the last but the least, because it cannot bring about permanent satisfaction. The misery that I feel when I am hungry is satisfied by eating, but hunger returns; my misery can cease only when I am satisfied beyond all want. Then hunger will not make me miserable; no distress, no sorrow will be able to move me. So, that help which tends to make us strong spiritually is the highest, next to it comes intellectual help, and after that physical help.
The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. Until man's nature changes, these physical needs will always arise, and miseries will always be felt, and no amount of physical help will cure them completely. The only solution of this problem is to make mankind pure.  Let men have light, let them be pure and spiritually strong and educated, then alone will misery cease in the world, not before. We may convert every house in the country into a charity asylum, we may fill the land with hospitals, but the misery of man will still continue to exist until man's character changes.
We read in the Bhagavad-Gita again and again that we must all work incessantly. All work is by nature composed of good and evil. We cannot do any work which will not do some good somewhere; there cannot be any work which will not cause some harm somewhere. Every work must necessarily be a mixture of good and evil; yet we are commanded to work incessantly. Good and evil will both have their results, will produce their Karma. Good action will entail upon us good effect; bad action, bad. But good and bad are both bondages of the soul. The solution reached in the Gita in regard to this bondage-producing nature of work is that, if we do not attach ourselves to the work we do, it will not have any binding effect on our soul. We shall try to understand what is meant by this “non-attachment to” to work.
This is the one central idea in the Gita: work incessantly, but be not attached to it. Samskāra can be translated very nearly by "inherent tendency". Using the simile of a lake for the mind, every ripple, every wave that rises in the mind, when it subsides, does not die out entirely, but leaves a mark and a future possibility of that wave coming out again. This mark, with the possibility of the wave reappearing, is what is called Samskāra. Every work that we do, every movement of the body, every thought that we think, leaves such an impression on the mind-stuff, and even when such impressions are not obvious on the surface, they are sufficiently strong to work beneath the surface, subconsciously. What we are every moment is determined by the sum total of these impressions on the mind. What I am just at this moment is the effect of the sum total of all the impressions of my past life. This is really what is meant by character; each man's character is determined by the sum total of these impressions. If good impressions prevail, the character becomes good; if bad, it becomes bad.  In fact, these bad impressions are always working, and their resultant must be evil, and that man will be a bad man; he cannot help it. The sum total of these impressions in him will create the strong motive power for doing bad actions. He will be like a machine in the hands of his impressions, and they will force him to do evil. Similarly, if a man thinks good thoughts and does good works, the sum total of these impressions will be good; and they, in a similar manner, will force him to do good even in spite of himself. When a man has done so much good work and thought so many good thoughts that there is an irresistible tendency in him to do good in spite of himself and even if he wishes to do evil, his mind, as the sum total of his tendencies, will not allow him to do so; the tendencies will turn him back; he is completely under the influence of the good tendencies. When such is the case, a man's good character is said to be established.
As the tortoise tucks its feet and head inside the shell, and you may kill it and break it in pieces, and yet it will not come out, even so the character of that man who has control over his motives and organs is unchangeably established. He controls his own inner forces, and nothing can draw them out against his will. By this continuous reflex of good thoughts, good impressions moving over the surface of the mind, the tendency for doing good becomes strong, and as the result we feel able to control the Indriyas (the sense-organs, the nerve-centres). Thus alone will character be established, then alone a man gets to truth. Such a man is safe for ever; he cannot do any evil. You may place him in any company, there will be no danger for him. There is a still higher state than having this good tendency, and that is the desire for liberation. You must remember that freedom of the soul is the goal of all Yogas, and each one equally leads to the same result. By work alone men may get to where Buddha got largely by meditation or Christ by prayer. Buddha was a working Jnāni, Christ was a Bhakta, but the same goal was reached by both of them. The difficulty is here. Liberation means entire freedom — freedom from the bondage of good, as well as from the bondage of evil. A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. There is a thorn in my finger, and I use another to take the first one out; and when I have taken it out, I throw both of them aside; I have no necessity for keeping the second thorn, because both are thorns after all. So the bad tendencies are to be counteracted by the good ones, and the bad impressions on the mind should be removed by the fresh waves of good ones, until all that is evil almost disappears, or is subdued and held in control in a corner of the mind; but after that, the good tendencies have also to be conquered. Thus the "attached" becomes the "unattached". Work, but let not the action or the thought produce a deep impression on the mind. Let the ripples come and go, let huge actions proceed from the muscles and the brain, but let them not make any deep impression on the soul.
How can this be done? We see that the impression of any action, to which we attach ourselves, remains. I may meet hundreds of persons during the day, and among them meet also one whom I love; and when I retire at night, I may try to think of all the faces I saw, but only that face comes before the mind — the face which I met perhaps only for one minute, and which I loved; all the others have vanished. My attachment to this particular person caused a deeper impression on my mind than all the other faces. Physiologically the impressions have all been the same; every one of the faces that I saw pictured itself on the retina, and the brain took the pictures in, and yet there was no similarity of effect upon the mind. Most of the faces, perhaps, were entirely new faces, about which I had never thought before, but that one face of which I got only a glimpse found associations inside. Perhaps I had pictured him in my mind for years, knew hundreds of things about him, and this one new vision of him awakened hundreds of sleeping memories in my mind; and this one impression having been repeated perhaps a hundred times more than those of the different faces together, will produce a great effect on the mind.
Therefore, be "unattached"; let things work; let brain centres work; work incessantly, but let not a ripple conquer the mind. Work as if you were a stranger in this land, a sojourner; work incessantly, but do not bind yourselves; bondage is terrible. This world is not our habitation, it is only one of the many stages through which we are passing. Remember that great saying of the Sānkhya, "The whole of nature is for the soul, not the soul for nature." The very reason of nature's existence is for the education of the soul; it has no other meaning; it is there because the soul must have knowledge, and through knowledge free itself. If we remember this always, we shall never be attached to nature; we shall know that nature is a book in which we are to read, and that when we have gained the required knowledge, the book is of no more value to us. Instead of that, however, we are identifying ourselves with nature; we are thinking that the soul is for nature, that the spirit is for the flesh, and, as the common saying has it, we think that man "lives to eat" and not "eats to live". We are continually making this mistake; we are regarding nature as ourselves and are becoming attached to it; and as soon as this attachment comes, there is the deep impression on the soul, which binds us down and makes us work not from freedom but like slaves.
The whole gist of this teaching is that you should work like a master and not as a slave; work incessantly, but do not do slave's work. Do you not see how everybody works? Nobody can be altogether at rest; ninety-nine per cent of mankind work like slaves, and the result is misery; it is all selfish work. Work through freedom! Work through love! The word "love" is very difficult to understand; love never comes until there is freedom. There is no true love possible in the slave. If you buy a slave and tie him down in chains and make him work for you, he will work like a drudge, but there will be no love in him. So when we ourselves work for the things of the world as slaves, there can be no love in us, and our work is not true work. This is true of work done for relatives and friends, and is true of work done for our own selves. Selfish work is slave's work; and here is a test. Every act of love brings happiness; there is no act of love which does not bring peace and blessedness as its reaction. Real existence, real knowledge, and real love are eternally connected with one another, the three in one: where one of them is, the others also must be; they are the three aspects of the One without a second — the Existence - Knowledge - Bliss. When that existence becomes relative, we see it as the world; that knowledge becomes in its turn modified into the knowledge of the things of the world; and that bliss forms the foundation of all true love known to the heart of man. Therefore true love can never react so as to cause pain either to the lover or to the beloved. Suppose a man loves a woman; he wishes to have her all to himself and feels extremely jealous about her every movement; he wants her to sit near him, to stand near him, and to eat and move at his bidding. He is a slave to her and wishes to have her as his slave. That is not love; it is a kind of morbid affection of the slave, insinuating itself as love. It cannot be love, because it is painful; if she does not do what he wants, it brings him pain. With love there is no painful reaction; love only brings a reaction of bliss; if it does not, it is not love; it is mistaking something else for love. When you have succeeded in loving your husband, your wife, your children, the whole world, the universe, in such a manner that there is no reaction of pain or jealousy, no selfish feeling, then you are in a fit state to be unattached.
Krishna says, "Look at Me, Arjuna! If I stop from work for one moment, the whole universe will die. I have nothing to gain from work; I am the one Lord, but why do I work? Because I love the world." God is unattached because He loves; that real love makes us unattached. Wherever there is attachment, the clinging to the things of the world, you must know that it is all physical attraction between sets of particles of matter — something that attracts two bodies nearer and nearer all the time and, if they cannot get near enough, produces pain; but where there is real love, it does not rest on physical attachment at all. Such lovers may be a thousand miles away from one another, but their love will be all the same; it does not die, and will never produce any painful reaction.
To attain this unattachment is almost a life-work, but as soon as we have reached this point, we have attained the goal of love and become free; the bondage of nature falls from us, and we see nature as she is; she forges no more chains for us; we stand entirely free and take not the results of work into consideration; who then cares for what the results may be?
Do you ask anything from your children in return for what you have given them? It is your duty to work for them, and there the matter ends. In whatever you do for a particular person, a city, or a state, assume the same attitude towards it as you have towards your children — expect nothing in return. If you can invariably take the position of a giver, in which everything given by you is a free offering to the world, without any thought of return, then will your work bring you no attachment. Attachment comes only where we expect a return.
If working like slaves results in selfishness and attachment, working as master of our own mind gives rise to the bliss of non-attachment. We often talk of right and justice, but we find that in the world right and justice are mere baby's talk. There are two things which guide the conduct of men: might and mercy. The exercise of might is invariably the exercise of selfishness. All men and women try to make the most of whatever power or advantage they have. Mercy is heaven itself; to be good, we have all to be merciful. Even justice and right should stand on mercy. All thought of obtaining return for the work we do hinders our spiritual progress; nay, in the end it brings misery. There is another way in which this idea of mercy and selfless charity can be put into practice; that is, by looking upon work as "worship" in case we believe in a Personal God. Here we give up all the fruits our work unto the Lord, and worshipping Him thus, we have no right to expect anything from mankind for the work we do. The Lord Himself works incessantly and is ever without attachment. Just as water cannot wet the lotus leaf, so work cannot bind the unselfish man by giving rise to attachment to results. The selfless and unattached man may live in the very heart of a crowded and sinful city; he will not be touched by sin.
This idea of complete self-sacrifice is illustrated in the following story: After the battle of Kurukshetra the five Pāndava brothers performed a great sacrifice and made very large gifts to the poor. All people expressed amazement at the greatness and richness of the sacrifice, and said that such a sacrifice the world had never seen before. But, after the ceremony, there came a little mongoose, half of whose body was golden, and the other half brown; and he began to roll on the floor of the sacrificial hall. He said to those around, "You are all liars; this is no sacrifice." "What!" they exclaimed, "you say this is no sacrifice; do you not know how money and jewels were poured out to the poor and every one became rich and happy? This was the most wonderful sacrifice any man ever performed." But the mongoose said, "There was once a little village, and in it there dwelt a poor Brahmin with his wife, his son, and his son's wife. They were very poor and lived on small gifts made to them for preaching and teaching. There came in that land a three years' famine, and the poor Brahmin suffered more than ever. At last when the family had starved for days, the father brought home one morning a little barley flour, which he had been fortunate enough to obtain, and he divided it into four parts, one for each member of the family. They prepared it for their meal, and just as they were about to eat, there was a knock at the door. The father opened it, and there stood a guest. Now in India a guest is a sacred person; he is as a god for the time being, and must be treated as such. So the poor Brahmin said, 'Come in, sir; you are welcome,' He set before the guest his own portion of the food, which the guest quickly ate and said, 'Oh, sir, you have killed me; I have been starving for ten days, and this little bit has but increased my hunger.' Then the wife said to her husband, 'Give him my share,' but the husband said, 'Not so.' The wife however insisted, saying, 'Here is a poor man, and it is our duty as householders to see that he is fed, and it is my duty as a wife to give him my portion, seeing that you have no more to offer him.' Then she gave her share to the guest, which he ate, and said he was still burning with hunger. So the son said, 'Take my portion also; it is the duty of a son to help his father to fulfil his obligations.' The guest ate that, but remained still unsatisfied; so the son's wife gave him her portion also. That was sufficient, and the guest departed, blessing them. That night those four people died of starvation. A few granules of that flour had fallen on the floor; and when I rolled my body on them, half of it became golden, as you see. Since then I have been travelling all over the world, hoping to find another sacrifice like that, but nowhere have I found one; nowhere else has the other half of my body been turned into gold. That is why I say this is no sacrifice."
This idea of charity is going out of India; great men are becoming fewer and fewer. When I was first learning English, I read an English story book in which there was a story about a dutiful boy who had gone out to work and had given some of his money to his old mother, and this was praised in three or four pages. What was that? No Hindu boy can ever understand the moral of that story. Now I understand it when I hear the Western idea — every man for himself. And some men take everything for themselves, and fathers and mothers and wives and children go to the wall. That should never and nowhere be the ideal of the householder.
Now you see what Karma-Yoga means; even at the point of death to help any one, without asking questions. Be cheated millions of times and never ask a question, and never think of what you are doing. Never vaunt of your gifts to the poor or expect their gratitude, but rather be grateful to them for giving you the occasion of practicing charity to them. Thus it is plain that to be an ideal householder is a much more difficult task than to be an ideal Sannyasin; the true life of work is indeed as hard as, if not harder than, the equally true life of renunciation.


Ujuzi was inspired by the work of the Community Empowerment Fund (CEF), a non-profit organization based in Chapel Hill. The CEF works to alleviate homelessness and poverty by connecting community members to supportive services, creating new opportunities for those in need, and investing in people and their potential.
This preliminary Ujuzi demo was put together with data from the CEF regarding the most sought-after jobs by employees reentering the workforce; the requirements and skills needed for these jobs were recorded from real employers' stated preferences, from websites such as ncworks.gov.
Developers: Tara Gu, Jeff Wang, Kannan Raju
Special thanks to: Janet Xiao (CEF) and Adam Martin (Code for Durham).


This project was from a course that we had to act like a start up company. We had to come up an idea and figure out who our target customers are.
Then we had to interview them based on our prototype app we drew on papers just to know how they will react to our idea or to know is the idea actually solving their problems.
Finally we used last 1.5 months of the semester to start building our Android application.

Introduction
Andhera CSS is my learning attempt towards becoming a UX-first full stack developer. The primary basis of this reference is dark-theme styles. All the components, layouts, and elements are described here for use.
Feel free to chip in and let me know what needs to be done to make it better. The GitHub Project is open for suggestions/issues/bugs etc.
Grid Layout
Inspired by Bootstrap, this (again) is a 12 column layout. The breakpoints and corresponding classes are as -
| Screen Width | Breakpoint Ref |

| <768px | col-sm-* |
| <992px | col-md-* |
| <1200px | col-lg-* |
| >1200px | col-xl-* |
Padding and Margins
m-* corresponds to margins on all sides (with same values) and for specific purposes m[SIDE]-* can be used. Padding is followed in a similar fashion.

The following transitive verbs without object have been found:
Some verbs require a direct object. These are called transitive verbs.
An example of transitive verb without object is: John loves.
The above example can be fixed by adding an object to the sentence: John loves his dog.


Tweaking the Output
Out of the box, XStream is able to serialize most objects without the need for custom mappings to be setup. The XML produced is clean, however sometimes it's desirable to make tweaks to it. The most common use for this is when using XStream to read configuration files and some more human-friendly XML is needed.
Aliases
Aliases offer a simple way to use different tag names in the XML. The simplest and most commonly used tweak in XStream is to alias a fully qualified class to a shorter name. Another use case is a different field name for a class member.
Example
Given the following class:
package com.something.animals; public class Cat { public Cat(int age, String name) { this.mAge = age; this.mName = name; } int mAge; String mName; }
XStream can be used to serialize and deserialize an instance of this to XML:
XStream xstream = new XStream(); String xml = xstream.toXml(new Cat(4, "Garfield")); // serialize Cat cat = (Cat)xstream.fromXml(xml); // deserialize
The XML representation, looks like this:
<com.something.animals.Cat> <mAge>4</mAge> <mName>Garfield</mName> </com.something.animals.Cat>
To shorten the fully qualified class name in the XML, an alias can be defined. You can also get rid of this nasty prefix of the field names with addional alias definitions:
XStream xstream = new XStream(); xstream.alias("cat", Cat.class); xstream.aliasField("age", Cat.class, "mAge"); xstream.aliasField("name", Cat.class, "mName"); String xml = xstream.toXml(new Cat(4, "Garfield")); // serialize Cat cat = (Cat)xstream.fromXml(xml); // deserialize
The result:
<cat> <age>4</age> <name>Garfield</name> </cat>
Attributes
XML is quite clumsy to read for fields in separate tags that can represent their content in a short single string value. In such a case attributes can help to shorten the XML and inrease readability:
XStream xstream = new XStream(); xstream.alias("cat", Cat.class); xstream.aliasField("age", Cat.class, "mAge"); xstream.aliasField("name", Cat.class, "mName"); xstream.useAttributeFor(int.class); xstream.useAttributeFor("mName", String.class); // All fields named "mName" of type String String xml = xstream.toXml(new Cat(4, "Garfield")); // serialize Cat cat = (Cat)xstream.fromXml(xml); // deserialize
The result:
<cat age="4" name="Garfield"/>
Custom converters
Sometimes the object to serialize contains fields or elements, that have no friendly representation for human beings e.g. if a long value represents in reality a time stamp. Or an object contains a lot of cached data that is easily recreated and should rather not get part of the XML representation. In such cases XStream supports custom converters for arbitrary types. Have a look at the Converter Tutorial for advanced possibilities.
XML Transformations
Never forget, you're dealing with XML! It is easy to transform XML with an XSLT. XStream is delivered with a SAXSource implementation, that allows an XStream instance to be the source of a XML transformer.
Example
Look at the following stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="no"/> <xsl:template match="/cat"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="mName"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
It is used here to remove the age of the cat on the fly (assuming XSLT is a string with the stylesheet above):
XStream xstream = new XStream(); xstream.alias("cat", Cat.class); TraxSource traxSource = new TraxSource(new Cat(4, "Garfield"), xstream); Writer buffer = new StringWriter(); Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer( new StreamSource(new StringReader(XSLT))); transformer.transform(traxSource, new StreamResult(buffer));
The result in the buffer:
<cat> <mName>Garfield</mName> </cat>

The overseas degree equivalency table supports initial teacher training ( ITT ) providers and applicants in making a judgement about the equivalent UK degree classification of an overseas qualification. This makes it possible to identify the bursary the applicant may be eligible for. It considers all overseas awards that are comparable to British Bachelor (Honours) degree standard.
Applicants should speak to their preferred ITT provider or school if they have any queries about their eligibility for a bursary. It is also possible to apply for a Statement of Comparability from the UK National Academic Recognition Information Centre ( NARIC ). This will confirm the comparable level of your qualification only; it will not compare the grades obtained.
ITT providers or schools that wish to enquire about the grade comparison of overseas qualifications table should email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.
This content was produced by UK NARIC . The methodology and recommendations in the document are to support providers identifying ITT bursary awards. Use of the results in other contexts is not recommended.

FEELING MINNESOTA A film review by Edwin Jahiel Copyright 1996 Edwin Jahiel
FEELING MINNESOTA ** Written and directed by Steven Baigelman. Photography, Walt Lloyd. Editing, Martin Walsh. Music supervision, Karyn Rachtman. Production design, Naomi Shohan. Producers, Danny DeVito, Michael Shamberg, Stacey Sher. Cast : Keanu Reeves (Jjaks), Vincent D'Onofrio (Sam), Cameron Diaz (Freddie), Delroy Lindo (Red), Courtney Love (Waitress), Tuesday Weld (Nora), Dan Aykroyd (Ben),Levon Helm (Bible Salesman) A Fine Line release. 100 min. Rated R (language, sex, violence)
There goes again this pesky rating by stars. Got to do it, but you don't have to consider it like a grade from Consumer Reports. Fact is that "Feeling Minnesota" can be so bad that it can get good, and so very dumb that it can become funny. Miss it, and you save time and money. See it, and you won't feel like sueing the theater.
This very motion-full motion pictureis one of those independent films that, contrary to their label, are very dependent. Dependent on trendiness, from Tarantinoisms to modish grunge. Dependent scene by scene improvisations: the writer-director, in his first feature,seems to have not the vaguest about what must come next.
Dependent on neo-clicheism. Just as in hippie days the reaction to the bourgeois dress code led to jeans --torn at the knee if possible, --long hair and other accoutrements which became the new uniforms of the new conformism of revolt; just as today back to front baseball caps express reverse individualism, in certain movies studio cliches are often countered by new sets of statements, preferably absurd, and repeated from picture to picture. I won't give you specific examples. Glance, and you'll see them.
"FM" is, sort of, about a kind of sex-and-money trio, sort of, a Cain-Abel thing closer to a Cain-Cain, sort of, a sickish All in the Family. A blondie, Freddie (Diaz), in a sort of wedding dress, is pursued by a car. Red (Lindo), drags her violently to her own wedding to creepy Sam (D'Onofrio). Seems that Red (who is black) runs a strip-joint plus a drug operation. He accuses Sam, his accountant, of stealing money. He punishes him with that marriage. (Go figure).
Sam's younger brother is Jjack, so named after a typo on his birth certificate --but really in one of the many efforts of a script straining for cuteness and novelty. Sam was always lording it over Jjack, as seen in the opening flashback of the two in their childhood.
 He surfaces at his brother's wedding, one that breathes low-class taste through every pore, assuming weddings have pores. This is nicely done, from outrageously ugly clothes to the kind of music that Martin Scorsese's Mafiosi love).
The brotherly antagonism has not abated. Jjack meets the new missus, he looks at her, she looks at him and, in a flash, they rush to vigorous sex in the john. (Oddly, the film "Maybe, Maybe Not" has a similar scene early on). )
A the party, the boys' Mom keels over dead, is buried pronto. Immediately after the ceremony, Jjack and the bride re-engage in sex, boucing and unsafe since it is inside a car that rolls down, like Jack and Jill Went Down the Hill.
Up to now matters are kookily, sporadically amusing. These are followed by Jjack and Freddie sort of eloping and Sam going after them. The menu includes stealing stolen money, fights, beatings,a corpse that may not be corpse, other niceties. Weirdly, much of the action takes place in contiguous places, a motel out of "It Happened One Night," a restaurant, etc.
Things get exponentially looser and more unplanned. Freddie, an ecdysiast, dreams of joining the chorus girls in Nirvana, which for her is Las Vegas with its four-dollar steaks and other goodies. As funny a line as any comes when she vocalizes her desires. Sitting with Jjack by the dirtier-than-in-"Diabolique," empty pool of a third-rate Minnesotan motel, she yearns for the Vegas pools "with water in them."
Later, in the midst of troubles, mayhem and confusion, Jjack returns to his and Freddie's room with a jovial "Hi, honey, I'm home!" which, given its usual Family Values context, also becomes funny.
The main performers are good, but handicapped by all being idiots. Dan Aykroyd is miscast against type as a dishonest cop. Still, somewhere in this salad there's the kernel of a possibly good idea, but it gets lost in the nonsense, sketchiness, incoherence and other Achilles' heels of the story. Many heels. Just count the characters and multiply by two.

Sunderland fans think they have a new first-team star in Benji Kimpioka
Benji Kimpioka now has three Sunderland goals to his name.
by Jay WilliamsSunderland youngster Benji Kimpioka rescued a late point in the 1-1 draw with Coventry City on Saturday.
Coventry travelled to The Stadium of Light and took the lead through Dom Hyam’s header. But Kimpioka drew Sunderland level late into the game and ensured the points were shared.
Kimpioka has had to wait for his opportunity this year but is now off the mark in 2019/20. The Sweden youth international popped up in the box to slot home after Coventry were unable to clear their lines.
It was Kimpioka’s first league goal and he has two other senior strikes to his name. But now, Sunderland fans want to see more of their promising academy product.
The 19-year-old injected some much-needed pace and urgency to Sunderland’s attack when he came on. Will Grigg struggled against Coventry’s defence but Kimpioka showed his class.
Sunderland fans have high hopes for Kimpioka and believe Phil Parkinson should throw him into the deep end with some league starts. Here are some tweets discussing his goal and performance against Coventry in League One.

Maina Farm is a dairy firm located olong the riftvalley in Nyandarua County. The farm has a population of 48 cows and 19 calves. We provide best quality milk since our cows feed on the green vegetatition sprouting from the fertile Aberdare soil. We have specialist that everyday work to ensure production of quality milk; hygiene and all standards considered. Brookside Diaries are our main patners that we supply our milk.
This is the capital generated from sale of milk to Brookside Dairies at the rate of Ksh.45 per litre.
Brookside Dairies decided to raise the rate at which they buy a litre from Ksh.45 to Ksh.49.60. Let take a closer look on how the new rates will affect our income. Here is atable illustrating the differences between the first rate of Ksh. 45 per litre and the second rate of Ksh. 49.6 per litre.

Today we’re going to work with some new data, cps_2016.dta
, which
contains information from the 2016 Current Population Survey.
By the end of this lab, you should be able to complete the following tasks in Stata:
Estimate and interpret multiple linear regression in levels, using continuous and binary independent variables, and use heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors.
Interpret the results of multivariate linear regressions in terms of statistical and economic significance
Practice generating binary variables from categorical measures
Set up basic loops
Use xi
and i.
prefix to include a lot of binary indicator variables at once.
| command | description |
|---|---|
regress var1 var2... |
Estimate a regression, with var1 as the dependent variable and all others as the independent |
| variable(s) | |
tabulate var1,nolabel |
Tabulate variables without labels |
replace var1 = . if var1 == 999999 |
Replace var1 as missing (using a dot) if var1 is equal to 999999. Can be replaced with any other values or logical expressions. |
Recall that there are two easy ways to make binary
variables out of categorical or continuous variables. Consider the
variable race
, where 100 = White, 200 = Black, 300 = Native American,
651 = Asian, etc. Suppose you want to generate a binary indicator for
whether a person is White.
gen white = race == 100
: generates a variable equal to 1 if race
is 100, and 0 otherwise
gen white = 1 if race == 100
: generates a variable equal to 1 if
race
is 100, and missing otherwise. To complete this you need
two lines of code:
gen white = 1 if race == 100
replace white = 0 if race != 100
Loops can help us (1) avoid errors and (2) code super fast!
I’ve uploaded a sample from our class here, as lab4_sample.do
Stata has two types of looping setups, using the forval
or foreach
command. The first is simpler, and the second is more versatile. Recall that you can always use help forval
or help foreach
if your code isn’t working or if you have a vision you’re not sure how to realize.
forval
forvalues lname = range {
Stata commands referring to `lname'
}
What does each component mean?
forvalues
: this is the command. You can abbreviate it as forval
.lname
: this is a variable you make up. Often, people will just use i
, becuase we’re just counting. It will take on the values in range
as it increments through the loop. It is a local variable, meaning that you have to call it using `lname’, and not as lname (need those punctuation marks!) and that it is only saved as long as your do-file is running.range
: this is the set of values that the local variable will iterate overforval
command. Close bracket needs to be on its own line.forval i = 0/2{
gen labfor`i' = labforce == `i'
}
What does this do? It creates a loop for which local variable `i'
is first 0, then 1, then 2. Within the loop, it generates labfor0
, which is equal to 1 if labforce
equals 0 (not in unierse), it generates labfor1
, which is equal to 1 if labforce
equals 1 (not in labor force), and it generates labfor2
, which is equal to 1 if labforce
equals 2 (in labor force).
The choice of ranges can be done in other ways:
forval i = 0/10
: hits every integer between 0 and 10 - 0, 1, 2, … 10forval i = 1(10)100
: starts at 1, then increments by 10, stopping at 100: 1, 11, 21, 31, … 91forvalues k = 5 10 to 300
: starts at 10, then increments by 5 until 300: 5, 10, 15, …See help forval
for more options
foreach
This command lets you loop through number lists (like above), but also through sets of variables, values, names, etc. You can approach it two ways:
foreach lname in list
:listtype
), use of: foreach lname of listtype list
This is confusing until we see examples:
foreach x in "rice wheat corn rye barley oats" {
display "`x'"
}
This will start with x
equal to the string “rice”. Then, it will run with x
equal to “wheat”, etc.
foreach num of numlist 1 4/8 13(2)21 103 {
display `num'
}
This will loop over 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 15, 17, …
You can loop over variable names too!
foreach var of varlist inc* {
summarize `var',d
}
This summarizes (with detail) each variable that starts with inc
When you are representing a categorical variable with a set of binary variables, there is a slow way and a fast way to integrate them.
gen white_nh = race == 100 & hisp == 0
gen black_nh = race == 200 & hisp == 1
gen hisp = hisp == 1
gen other = white_nh == 0 & black_nh == 0 & hisp == 0
regress incwage black_nh hisp other
Here, white, non-Hispanic is the omitted “reference” category.
regress incwage i.statefip
Note that this will work only if your categorical variable is numeric. If it’s a string you’ll get an error. You can fix it by adding a xi:
prefix, like so:
xi: regress incwage i.statefip
When we include a dummy variable for every value of a categorical variable, like above, we call those “fixed effects”. We’ll talk about these more soon.
Download the do-file template and data files. Personalize the file paths so that you can run it and open your cps_2016.dta
file. You can also work with a blank data file if you’re more comfortable - just make sure you remember to include commands to start and close your log file.
Use robust standard errors in all regressions
Let’s practice with loops! Download loop_example.do and paste the code into your sample. Run it and look at the output. In your do-file, write comments that describe what each loop is going.
Now, go back to your cps_2016.dta
file. Write a loop to generate a dummy variable for each possible value of public housing, pubhous
. That is, you would have _pubhous0
, a binary variable for whether pubhouse == 0
, _pubhous1
, a binary variable for whether pubhouse == 1
, etc.1
Look through the available list of data (note, IPUMS has full documentation of all variables). Based on this data, think of a research question for your lab of the form, “What is the relationship between .… and ...?”. Pick a dependent variable that is continuous. (Because a later question asks you to explore race/ethnicity controls, please do not use a race/ethnicity variable for \(X\).)
Research question:
Dependent variable (\(Y\)):
Key independent variable (\(X\)):
Using the data available, write a reasonable population model, including your key independent variable along with a set of likely relevant independent variables (somewhere between 2 and 5 additional variables). Before estimating your regression, you should tabulate each variable to make sure you are interpreting it correctly.
In words, what exactly will your estimated regression tell us?
What do you hypothesize the answer to your research question is? (i.e. strong positive, weak negative, none)
Before you estimate your model, make sure you don’t have any N/A
values coded. For example, if incwage
is not applicable, it is
coded as 9999999
. Tabulate or summarize your data to check for any
values like this. Replace any values as missing if they are equal to
some N/A code (see above).
Estimate the relationship between \(X\) and \(Y\) using simple linear regression (excluding any other covariates). Write your results in equation form and report the \(R^2\). How many degrees of freedom do you have?
Estimate the relationship between \(X\) and \(Y\) using multiple linear regression (including other covariates). That is, estimate the population model you wrote earlier. Write your results in equation form and report the \(R^2\). How many degrees of freedom do you have?
Using your multivariate linear regression from the previous step, set up a hypothesis test for your parameter of interest, the \(\beta\) associated with your key independent variable, \(X\). What do you find? What is the p-value? What is the interpretation?
Besides your key independent variable, which other variables are statistically significant at the five-percent level?
A lot of student research papers will look at differences in outcomes by gender and by racial/ethnic groups. U.S. surveys like the CPS, ACS, and Census treat race and ethnicity a little strangely, and it can take some practice to get comfortable.
There are two variables commonly used to identify a person’s race
and ethnicity: the race
and the hispan
variable.
What share of the sample is White, non-Hispanic?
What share of the sample is Hispanic/Latino?
A common way to summarize the racial/ethnic make-up of the U.S. is the following categories:
White, non-Hispanic
Black, non-Hispanic
Hispanic/Latino
Asian, non-Hispanic
Other
Make a table that shows the distribution of the population into these five groupings.
Estimate your multiple linear regression model from earlier, but include the race/ethnicity variables that you created in the previous part. How do the inclusion of these factors affect your estimates of the relationship between \(Y\) and \(X\)?
Now, add “state fixed effects” to your regression. This is a set of binary 0/1 variables, one for each state, which essentially pull out any mean differences in your dependent variable at the state level - so if your outcome variable is different for people in Oregon vs. New York on average, these variables will take care of it. How do the inclusion of these factors affect your estimates of the relationship between \(Y\) and \(X\)?
There is a faster way to do this, using xi i.pubhouse
, but we’re learning about loops, so just go with it.↩

Mario Balotelli targeted by racist abuse as referee halts match between Verona and Brescia
The former Liverpool striker was furious after chants from the stands and had to be calmed by teammates
by James Whaling, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/james-whaling/Mario Balotelli booted a football into the crowd in anger and attempted to storm off the pitch after suffering racist abuse while playing for Brescia against Verona.
The former Liverpool striker was left angered by the chants and referee Maurizio Mariani halted the game as part of the anti-racism protocol.
His teammates rushed over to calm Balotelli down while a message was read out to fans over the stadium PA.
A number of Brescia players also appeared to notify the match official that they too had heard racist abuse directed in Balotelli's direction.
He put the incident behind him to find the net in the closing stages of the match.
But he departed the field at full-time visibly upset, covering his face.
The incident comes after Saturday's Roma vs Napoli clash was also halted under the protocol due to chants from the stands.
Eddie Salcedo's goal gave Verona the lead in the match on Sunday afternoon in Serie A.
Matteo Pessina doubled their advantage in the last 10 minutes before Balotelli pulled one back for the visitors. The match finished 2-1.
After the game, Verona boss Ivan Juric claimed not to have heard any abuse.
He told Sky Sport Italia: "I don't know what set Balotelli off, you have to ask him.
“I am not afraid to say there were no racist chants today. They might’ve jeered and mocked the great player, but there was nothing there. Nothing.
“I’ve been called ‘s***** gypsy’ many times and Italy is moving towards this general idea of blaming foreigners for everything, but this was not the case today.
“You can ask him, there was nothing there. I am disgusted by racist abuse and I will be the first to condemn it when it happens, but this was not it.
“They provoked him with jeers and sarcastic chants, but they were not racist. Anything else is a lie."
“It is absolutely unacceptable to see racist insults in 2019 and I will condemn any of my fans who do such a thing, but that was not the case today. They were shouting ‘Mario’ in a sarcastic way.
“He kicked the ball into the stands, but that’s his problem.”
Balotelli reportedly turned down a move to Verona in the summer in favour of joining his hometown club.
It is not the first time this season that Verona fans have appeared to racially abuse an opponent, with AC Milan midfielder Franck Kessie on the receiving end in September.
On that occasion, the club’s official twitter account took exception with claims the following day, stating that whistles and boos from the crowd had simply been for the referee.
Last week, Balotelli kicked a camera in frustration during Brescia's 3-1 defeat against Geona.
Brescia's furious owner said he would force Balotelli to pay for the damage caused by the incident which occurred as he was substituted for Alfredo Donnarumma.
Balotelli played for Liverpool and Manchester City during his time in the Premier League.
