IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 2928 of 2008(W) 1. BHARTI AIRTEL LTD. FORMERLY KNOWN AS ... Petitioner Vs 1. THALAPPALAM GRAMA PANCHAYATH, ... Respondent 2. THE ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER, For Petitioner :SRI.SANTHOSH MATHEW For Respondent :SRI.VIJU ABRAHAM The Hon'ble MR. Justice THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN Dated :22/10/2009 O R D E R THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C). No.2928 OF 2008 ------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T
~~~~~~~~~~~ The petitioner was granted a building permit to erect a Mobile Telecommunication Tower. On completion of that Tower, the Panchayat took the stand that the User Certificate cannot be issued without the clearance of the Pollution Control Board. By interim order dated 15.2.2008, the structure is numbered, provisionally.
2. The Environmental Engineer is a party in this Writ Petition. The Panchayat was not unjustified in its stand because the Environmental Engineer had issued Ext.R1(a). But, there is no provision of law pointed out, requiring the clearance of the Pollution Control Board, except in cases, where the activities of the Tower would result in activities referable to the Air Act or Water Act. To that extend, it is for the Pollution Control Board authorities to insist on clearance, but not to scuttle the issuance of the permit. Therefore, this Writ Petition is allowed, quashing the impugned Ext.P2 and directing the Panchayat to grant User Certificate and permit the W.P(C) No.2928//2008 2 petitioner to operate without prejudice to the powers of the Pollution Control Board to take action, in accordance with law, if found necessary.
The Writ Petition is ordered, accordingly.
(THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE) ps

This subprogram helps avoid having to declare a variable declaration and then make a call to getchor getchar.
var f : int
var line : string
open : f, "data.txt", get

exit when eof (f)
get : f, line : *
put name
Input.Pause
end loop
close : f
This means that you can only call the function by calling Input.Pause, not by calling Pause.


Externalize Your Business Rules with Red Hat Decision Manager
In this post, I will be sharing my experience on using Red Hat Decision Manager (RHDM) as the rules engine, using DRL (Drools Rule Language) rules to isolate decision logic from application code.
Recently, I was involved in creating a fraudulent detection demo/workshop which requires decision making based on a certain set of rules. The part which involves business rules is when the ML flow computes a score from the raw data received, and the application needs to make a decision based on the score. This is the part where a rules engine manages decision processes using pre-defined logic to determine outcomes.
Before going into my setup, let’s understand why there is a need for a business rules engine. Usually, business rules are hidden inside an application code and this is a problem for non-technical folks. Non-technical folks like the business people know the rules and regulations policy but do not understand application code. It will be difficult to manage the rules especially when business applications can contain tens of thousands of rules which are continually changing. Therefore, there will be impact when it comes to adding, removing or changing rules. As such, an external business rules engine helps to decouple application code from business rules and allows a centralized management of rules.
Concepts
RHDM is based on the Drools project, one of the widest used rules engines in the industry which many in-house applications are already using.
The decision engine operates using the following basic components:
- Rules: Business rules or DMN decisions that you define. All rules must contain at a minimum the conditions that trigger the rule and the actions that the rule dictates.
- Facts: Data that enters or changes in the decision engine that the decision engine matches to rule conditions to execute applicable rules.
- Production memory: Location where rules are stored in the decision engine.
- Working memory: Location where facts are stored in the decision engine.
- Agenda: Location where activated rules are registered and sorted (if applicable) in preparation for execution.
What is a rules engine
“A business rules engine is a software system that executes one or more business rules in a runtime production environment” - Wikipedia
A rules engine is a collection of objects with conditions and actions. Businesses can run their process model against it and let it run through the conditions.
An example would be:
- Company’s credit score of 50 or less will be given the status of “Disallow”.
These are a few benefits of using a rules engine:
- Logical separation of rules from application code.
- Human-readable rule which allows non-technical folks to understand the rules easily.
- Centralization of rules provides flexibility to make adjustment easily without the need of going through the application codes.
- Rules can be reused.

“A business rule defines or constrains some aspect of business and always resolves to either true or false. It specifically involves terms, facts and rules. Business rules are intended to assert business structure or to control or influence the behavior of the business.” - Wikipedia
Business rules are essential to guide and help in decision making. Businesses would aim to automate them but not every business decision can be automated. The goal is to automate repeatable operational decisions.
An example would be something like this:
- A bank would disapprove a loan to a customer/company which has a credit rating of 50 or lower.
Set up
There are many ways to set up RHDM and here is how I set it up:
- Decision Central - An authoring environment with GUI to allow low code development (DMN, DRL rules, decision table, etc). It also manages Kjars deployments to multiple Kie Servers.
- KIE Server - It hosts the decision services which execute rules and processes. KIE server exposes its functionality via REST, JMS and Java interfaces to client applications.
- Git - It stores business assets such as DMN model, decision tables, etc. In my case, it stores the DRL rules.
My RHDM sits on OpenShift Container Platform where my KIE server runs in a container and is able to leverage on Kubernetes’s capabilities (self-healing, etc). Whenever I update and commit my rules to the Git server, it automatically triggers the CI/CD flow to deploy the new set of rules embedded into the KIE server, and roll out the container deployment using a rolling update strategy where the previous instance is terminated only when the new one is ready.
Here is how I write my rules in DRL:
I used the Decision Central to create a Result object and write my DRL rules. My DRL rules are simple, I am bascially writing a condition where a score of less than 70% would mean not fraud and a score of more than 70% means fraud. Afterwhich, I built and deployed my KIE server with the DRL rules. When the KIE server is deployed successfully, my application sends a payload with the score and receives a response payload containing the status.
My written rules can be found on my Git Hub, https://github.com/jiajunngjj/drl-fraud-demo which can be imported directly onto Decision Central as well. There are many ways to create your decision service and since my project is just a simple set of rules, DRL rules are sufficient.
Conclusion
It is always the best practice to externalize rules from applications to allow a more agile and efficient development. There are many use cases which RHDM can be part of the solution from fraud detection in banking industry to automated trading in capital markets and etc.
While driving applications with external business rules is beneficial, it is also important to note that it is an additional layer to an application architecture, hence the application and its requirements should be carefully designed to ensure it can leverage on the external engine with minimal to zero application code change when a rule changes.


Installation Guide¶
The kalmus package requires a python with version 3.7 or 3.8.
The package is released on PyPI (Project Homepage). After you install the python==3.7, 3.8, you can install the kalmus using pip (recommended):
$ pip install kalmus
Alternatively, you could install the kalmus locally by first cloning the GitHub repo of Kalmus (GitHub page). Then, move to the top directory of cloned kalmus project folder and install using the pip command:
$ pip install .
In both methods, the package's dependencies will be automatically installed. You can verify if the kalmus has been installed in your environment using the pip command:
$ pip show kalmus
Alternatively, in version 1.3.7 and above, you can check the version of installed kalmus using its
.__version__
attribute
>>> import kalmus
>>> print(kalmus.__version__) # Warning: The __version__ attribute is not available in the kalmus v.1.3.6 and backward
>>> 1.3.7
For users with Apple M1 Chip (arm64 Architecture)¶
As mentioned in issue #4, kalmus cannot build natively on Apple M1 processors because of kalmus's dependencies on NumPy. You may be able to install kalmus under a Rosetta emulation with Python 3.7.


conda-smithy rerender¶
conda-forge uses conda-smithy
to re-render the feedstock and update the feedstock configuration.
This action updates the README
, CI configuration, the build matrix,
fix problems with the feedstock configuration, etc.
The bot issues re-rendering PRs every now and then, but sometimes the users may need to issue them manually instead waiting for the bot. Here is how, and when, to re-render.
How to re-render?¶
There are 2 options,
- Using the webservice to run conda-smithy on the cloud. See Automatic services
- Run conda-smithy locally on your machine. To do this,
First step is to install conda-smithy
in your root environment
conda install -c conda-forge conda-smithy
now, from the root directory of the feedstock, type:
conda smithy rerender [--commit {edit|auto}]
and commit the changes!
Optionally one can commit the changes automatically.
To do this use the --commit
/-c
option. By default, conda-smithy
will have git open an editor to write the commit message.
It will also provide a default commit message and
show the changes to be added. If you wish to do this automatically,
please just use --commit auto
/-c auto
and it will commit with
the stock re-rendering message.
Note that you may get a warning message regarding the tokens. It is safe to ignore that as they are not needed for re-rendering.
When should we re-render?¶
We need to re-render when there are changes the following parts of the feedstock:
- the
yum_requirements.txt
; - the platform configuration (
skip
sections); - build issues that a feedstock configuration update will fix (follow us on gitter to know about those);
- updates in the build matrix due to new versions of Python, NumPy, PERL, R, etc.

In JavaScript, variables can have one of two scopes: global or local. Global variables are declared outside a function, and can be accessed from anywhere in the code. A variable decrlared within a function is local, and can only be accessed from within that function (and nested functions - also called nested scope).
Heres a simple example:
var glob = "Global Scope";
function local() {
var loc = "Local Scope";
}
console.log(glob); //"Global Scope"
console.log(loc); //"loc is not defined"

CHARLIE'S ANGELS (2000) / ** 1/2
Directed by McG. Screenplay by Ryan Rowe, Ed Solomon and John August, based on the television series created by Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts. Starring Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Lucy Liu. Running time: 103 minutes. Rated PG by the MFCB. Reviewed on November 18th, 2000.
By SHANNON PATRICK SULLIVAN
Let's be clear up front: "Charlie's Angels" is not intended to be a serious movie. It is corny purely by design. The tone is set right off the bat: an airliner's in-flight film is "T.J. Hooker: The Movie", provoking a groan of "not another movie based on an old TV series" from one of the characters. This may come as a surprise to those expecting the film version to resemble the original 1976-1981 TV series. Being young enough that my memories of the programme are exceedingly dim, I had no such preconceptions, and no problem with this kind of reinvention.
All that said, though, even taken on its own merits, "Charlie's Angels" is not without flaws. The problem is that, in taking such a kitschy tact with the material, the filmmakers simply have not gone far enough. For camp to succeed, it must be embraced wholeheartedly. And while "Charlie's Angels" certainly has all the trappings of cheesy celluloid, there is a serious vein running throughout that rather spoils the whole thing.
The main offender is the plot, which could have been lifted, for all intents and purposes, out of any given espionage movie. As with the TV series, "Charlie's Angels" is about three spunky female detectives. The "Angels" this time around are feisty Dylan (Drew Barrymore), klutzy Natalie (Cameron Diaz), and well-bred Alex (Lucy Liu). They work for Charles Townsend (voice, as before, by John Forsythe), a reclusive millionaire who is heard but never seen, working through an intermediary, Bosley (Bill Murray).
The Angels' case this time around involves the abduction of computer whiz Eric Knox (Sam Townsend) and the theft of top-secret voice identification software he was developing. Knox's business partner Vivian Wood (Kelly Lynch) believes the culprit is Roger Corwin (Tim Curry), who recently failed in a buyout attempt of Knox's company. Wood thinks Corwin plans to use the voice identification code together with his own global satellite network to create a system able to track down any person, anywhere in the world.
Sounds pretty typical, doesn't it? For "Charlie's Angels" to truly succeed, it needed something grandiose and outlandish: a story more appropriately gauche to match the film's overall tenor. Instead, the script (credited to Ryan Rowe, Ed Solomon and John August, but in fact massaged by several other writers as well) makes the movie appear uneven, as though there were different trains of thought running through the production process. This may well be the case: beyond the opening hook, most of the script was put together during filming, rarely a strategy which leads to a cohesive product.
And although the writers do throw in a few twists and turns, they are still the kind of thing one expects from this genre (one in particular is quite reminiscent of the most recent Bond flick, "The World Is Not Enough"). The script, for the most part, plays within the bounds and conventions of the genre rather than taking them and turning them on their head. It is a disappointing and lacklustre direction to take.
The visuals, fortunately, are nowhere near as stale. "Charlie's Angels" is a first-time effort from music video helmer McG (aka Joseph McGinty Nichol). He proves himself a competent helmer, keeping the action scenes alive and interesting, and showcasing the three principals well. McG does a particularly good job filming the "Matrix"-like acrobatics of the Angels and their opponents. The whole gravity-defying concept is taken just far enough without becoming completely absurd (another important ingredient to good camp, of course, is knowing how much is too much).
Amongst the stars, it is the always enjoyable Drew Barrymore (also serving as co-producer) who does the best job, investing Dylan with just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek humor. (Check out that moonwalk, though... oy!) Diaz does a reasonable job as well, but her laughs mostly come as a result of (her ignorance of) her overt clumsiness, which makes for a limited repertoire of jokes. Liu is a little too straight-laced as Alex, never quite finding the right note to complement her co-stars. On the other hand, though, she does the best job with the action sequences.
What is troubling about Alex, Dylan and Natalie, though, is that the movie satisfies itself with defining them mostly through their interactions with men. Except for Wood, all the other characters are male. All three Angels even have subplots about their love lives, constituting virtually the only depiction of them outside their jobs. Worse, just one of these arcs is executed well, featuring Barrymore and her real-life beau, outlandish comedian Tom Green. Liu is saddled with Matt LeBlanc, who basically reprises his Joey Tribbiani role from TV's "Friends" (his character is even an actor), while Diaz's interactions with Luke Wilson are charming in places, but don't really go anywhere.
"Charlie's Angels" also criminally wastes two of its highest-profile actors. Bill Murray is entirely out of place as Bosley, given no material to suit his skills. Tim Curry is similarly mishandled, which is particularly unfortunate since -- despite the fact that he has been largely typecast as a villain in recent years -- he has demonstrated considerable comedic talent in the past ("Clue" and of course "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" to cite but two examples).
The lone standout amongst the supporting cast is Crispin Glover, who plays a creepy trichophiliac assassin. Glover's silent Thin Man is perfectly in keeping with the tone of the film, and is reminiscent of similarly goofy yet memorable villains as "Goldfinger"'s Oddjob and "Moonraker"'s Jaws.
In the end, "Charlie's Angels" is a bog-standard action movie crossed uncomfortably with an entertaining cheesy comedy. The result is reasonably diverting (and certainly deserves praise for featuring no less than three aggressive, proactive female heroes), but bears the scars of its troubled production. The inevitable sequel has the potential to be a real gem -- assuming that next time, they remember to write the script first.

DAS BOOT A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1997 Michael John Legeros

Buchhei Cast Jurgen Prochnow, Herbert Gronemeyer, Klaus Wennemann, Hubertus Bengsch, Martin Semmelrogge, Bernd Tauber, Erwin Leder, Martin May MPAA Rating "R" (presumably for war violence) Running Time 210 minutes Reviewed at The Chelsea, Chapel Hill, NC (02MAY97)
==
The director's cut of DAS BOOT is playing in Chapel Hill and I work in Cary, which isn't even halfway between Graceland East and the Chelsea. So, I opt to forgo my ritual Friday afternoon matinee-- not a difficult decision, given that the only choice is the poorly reviewed SPRUNG-- and head in the general direction of that college town. Over three hours until an over three-hour movie and I don't even get to go home. It's going to be a long night. With Megadeth in the tape deck ("Hidden Treasures," a compilation of compilation cuts and other B- sides), the first stop is Durham, to a mall, to a department store, to buy jeans, which I don't, because I don't care for the colors. Instead, what catches my wallet's attention is a row of weed whackers. (Three months into home ownership and I'm *still* buying stuff.) I choose a low-end model: 17", 31 cc, one-year warranty, extra spool of cutting cord, all for $99.99, plus a gallon gas can and a teeny-tiny bottle of 2-cycle engine oil. (The enterprising salesperson attempts to sell me a six pack of said substance *and* an extended warranty. I roll up my right sleeve and point to a tattooed right shoulder that reads "not.")
In the parking deck, later, an off-duty police officer watches in passing as I struggle to get the gargantuan box into the Elvismobile. (Success on the second try, this time from the passenger side. Duh.) Departing the deck, I happen upon an outdoor display of city vehicles, including the nearly departed (it's 5 p.m.) Durham Fire Department Tactical Rescue Team. I pause to talk and take a last-minute tour of their equipment truck. (The captain proudly notes that all cribbing and shoring materials are handmade.)  (I secretly hope that they'll get a call, even though they have electronic sirens, which are never as much fun as the mechanical ones.) The next stop is still up for grabs. Do I have enough time to make a Best Buy/Barnes and Noble run? No, I decide, and set my sights on downtown Chapel Hill and Franklin Street, my favorite few blocks in all of the Triangle.
Changing tapes to a Judas Priest tribute-- the European version: twenty-five artists on two volumes, dude-- I start my way south, down 15-501, so I can admire the recent road construction and see if they've opened the new exit ramp to the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway, where the Wynnsong lives. (They haven't.) Rush hour hits on the other side of I-40. I pass the time by playing heavy beats on my car horn. In another ten, I'm scouting parking meters in the downtown proper. (And only one pass is required! Wohoo!) I secure a spot near the planet- arium and, after claiming some quarters from a corner coffee shop, I'm hoofing it to a hole-in-the-wall pizza parlor, where I down a double dose of pepperoni, read a weekly newspaper that I've already read, and try to figure out just how in the Hell this place makes any money with at least fifteen people working behind the counter.
With an hour to go until show time, I take a hike, breezing over to the main fire station (apparatus count: two pumpers, one reserve), and then to a used bookstore, where I acquire a collection of quotations about the King ("just send me a million dollars, never mind the script, and Elvis will do the picture," Colonel Tom Parker) and a 1982 biography of Jerry Lee Lewis. ("You've been married five times now. Do you know any more about women now then you did the first time you got married?" "Yeah. Pu**y is pu**y.") Back to the car and, regrettably, without the time to stroll across campus and admire the young ladies in ponytails and jogging shorts. (This being Franklin Street, I have to settle for orange hair and baggy pants.) I arrive at the Chelsea with twenty min- utes to spare. The tiny theater doesn't smell too fresh. ("Like the inside of a submarine," notes a fellow whiffer.) Through the walls, Randy Travis is singing "King of the Road." I ain't got no cigarettes, or even a decent seat. As soon as the show starts, sure enough, some big-headed fool sits directly in front of me.
Expectedly, the director's cut of DAS BOOT is a long sit. Yeah, it's remarkable. Yeah, it's powerful. Yeah, it's probably the most [choose one: realistic/unglamorous/warts-and-all] war movie ever made. But with an hour of extra footage added to the original 150-minute running time, this cut is just too damn long. The expanded story of a U-boat that waits and waits and waits for some action is more monotonous than I suspect was ever intended. Nor did I care for the episodic nature of the narrative. Granted, this was originally a six-hour German mini-series, but one scene transition is so abrupt that I thought we'd stumbled upon a dream sequence! Finally, there are the inferior exteriors. While the camera work *inside* of the sub is breathtakingly breathtaking, the exterior, above-water shots are largely yawn-inducing. Perhaps writer/director Wolfgang Petersen (OUTBREAK, IN THE LINE OF FIRE) could contact George Lucas, for a little help with those never- quite-convincing blue-screen and miniature effects.

Preamble
People of different cultures have unique beliefs, values, and practices. These differences make it challenging to offer health care that accommodates each individual. Some members of religious groups don’t believe in certain types of treatments, while other people may respond to pain and illness in unique ways. Those working in the health care field, particularly in nursing, must be aware of cultural differences and use sensitivity when treating each patient. As you work , keep the following areas of awareness and sensitivity in mind:
Faith and Religious Beliefs
One of the most common cultural issues that arise for nurses involves faith and religious beliefs. Certain religious groups might refuse prescription medications, blood transfusions, surgeries, or other potentially life-saving treatments because of their religious beliefs. Nurses may struggle to understand these beliefs and may disagree with the patient’s decision to decline treatment, which is why developing sensitivity towards various religious beliefs is so important.
When a nurse asks questions and tries to better understand the beliefs of the patient, they can help make accommodations and, if possible, work around traditional treatment plans. This extra step can greatly improve the patient’s experience and relationship with their healthcare team.
Social and Economic Sensitivity
People within certain economic and social groups may also take a different approach to health care and treatment. Nurses have to overcome personal objections in these cases, but the first step to gaining cultural sensitivity and awareness is to never make assumptions about other people or what they believe. Individuals within similar groups or from similar upbringings might look at health care differently, so nursing professionals should focus on asking questions to gain a better understanding.
Each patient has a unique outlook on their situation and health, so it’s important to educate and treat instead of immediately making assumptions.
Gender preference and sexual orientation are also factors to keep in mind when treating patients. It is critical for nurses to provide all patients with the same treatment options, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Trust and Respect
Without your patient’s trust, you will not be able to get very far in helping to develop and implement treatment programs. Building a relationship with each patient you treat will help you understand their beliefs and views and could provide insight into why they react in certain ways. For example, if the person has previously had negative experiences with doctors, nurses, or other health care professionals, it will make sense why they are hesitant to trust you or receive additional treatment. Work on building trust with patients by asking questions and listening to the answers.
If your patient struggles to speak or understand English, find a translator who can help make sure you understand one another. Even those who speak English well may struggle to understand complex terms or extensive treatment plans, so make it easier by bringing in someone who can help translate and alleviate some of that stress. In some cultures, it is important to consider the age and gender of the translator. A younger person might not be treated with the same respect when the patient is older, and a man in certain cultures might only speak through another male translator.
Respect is one of the most critical aspects when developing cultural sensitivity and awareness. If you don’t respect your patients, they will be much less likely to trust you or move forward with what you recommend in terms of treatment. When a patient feels like you are listening to and trying to understand their cultural differences, they are much more likely to respond in a positive manner. Don’t assume that your patients don’t know anything about their conditions or treatment options.
Take the time to understand your patient’s unique cultural beliefs by asking thoughtful, respectful questions. If you will continue treatment over several days or more, you can also do some research on your own to understand why they might react in certain ways. When speaking to your patient or their family members, use appropriate titles instead of first names, and make sure to pronounce their names correctly.
Improving Cultural Awareness and Sensitivity
It’s not easy to overcome your own cultural worldview when treating patients, but it is a critical skill to develop for all within the nursing field. As you go further your nursing career, you will likely encounter different types of people and cultures. You may even encounter situations that touch on the changing cultural needs of patients and how to adapt when treating them. This is key information to have at your disposal as you move forward. Some hospitals and health care facilities even offer cultural training on an annual basis for their employees, which can be very helpful in advancing your awareness as well.
In sum, as an advanced practice nurse, you will likely encounter a number of opinions and worldviews in your day-to-day work. It’s critical to learn how to balance these varying opinions and react in a way that will help you provide the best patient care possible.


PICTURES: Trump reveals large, handwritten notes while speaking to reporters
by Jack QuannUS President Donald Trump held a press conference at the White House on Wednesday.
There was nothing much out of the ordinary - except for the large, handwritten notes he read from.
Before leaving Washington for Texas, he read a statement that appeared to be written in a black Sharpie pen.
In large letters, the statement read: "I want nothing. I want nothing.  Tell Zellinsky to do the right thing. This is the final word from the Pres of the U.S."
This relates to the ongoing impeachment inquiry against him.
The US ambassador to the EU, Gordon Sondland, earlier said that officials pushed for a "quid pro quo" arrangement with Ukraine on behalf of Mr Trump.
Mr Sondland told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that officials pressured Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to announce an investigation into the son of Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden in return for a White House visit.
He said the president ordered him to work with his lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, on everything to do with Ukraine - and confirmed that Mr Giuliani was actively pushing for a "quid pro quo" arrangement.
"We did not want to work with Mr Giuliani - simply put, we were playing the hand we were dealt.
"We all understood that if we refused to work with Mr Giuliani, we would lose a very important opportunity to cement relations between the United States and Ukraine.
"So we followed the president's orders", he added.

Darkhovsky and Piryatinska have conjectured that for a constant generating process the complexity coefficients time series generated by that process are constant. More concretely, we tested if, for a constant Hölder class of functions, the complexity coefficients are also constant.
A Hölder-\(\alpha\) class of functions is a set of functions with a bounded rate of change indexed by the parameter \(\alpha\). Specifically, a Hölder continuous function \(f(x)\) is one that satisfies \[ | f(x + h) - f(x)| < C|h|^{\alpha}, \] for positive constants \(C\), \(\alpha\).
Three of the simulations used in our previous tests have parameters that determine the Hölder-\(\alpha\) class of the time series generated by the process or function – fractional Brownian Motion (fBm), the random Weierstrass function, and the Cauchy process. For each of these random processes, and for the Weierstrass function, the Hölder class and fractal dimension are determined by the same parameter. The complexity coefficients were estimated on time series generated over a range of parameters for each function or process. In addition to computing the complexity coefficients, fractal dimension was estimated using a variogram-based estimator1.
For all process except for the random Weierstrass function, the mean of the complexity coefficient \(B\) changed linearly with the Hölder class of the time series and with the time series’ estimated fractal dimension. Here we present the results from the Weierstrass function and the Cauchy process.
The Weierstrass function is well-known example of a continuous but nowhere differentiable function. The function can be written: \[ W_{\alpha}(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}b^{-n\alpha}\cos(b^n \pi x). \] In this form, the single parameter \(\alpha\) is the Hölder class for the function and \(2-\alpha\) is the functions fractal dimension2. Graphs of the Weierstrass function where \(b = 2\) and for several \(\alpha\) parameters are shown below.

The Hurst parameter is a measure of the long range dependence of a random process. Fractional Brownian motion has a single parameter that determines both the Hölder class andfractal dimension of its sample paths and the Hurst parameter. The Cauchy process, on the other hand, has two parameters which separately determine the fractal dimension and Hurst parameter of sample paths of the process.
The Cauchy process is defined in terms of its correlation function \[ c(h) = (1 + |h|^{\alpha})^{-\beta/\alpha}, \hspace{1em} h \in \mathbb{R}. \]
For \(\alpha \in (0, 2]\) the fractal dimension of the Cauchy process is \[ D = 2 - \frac{\alpha}{2}. \]
And for \(\beta \in (0,1)\) its Hurst parameter is \[ H = 1 - \frac{\beta}{2}. \]
The plot below shows the Cauchy process on a 3 \(\times\) 3 grid of parameters. Fractal dimension (and the Hölder class) are constant on the columns. The plots are labeled with their theoretical Hurst parameter and the estimated complexity coefficient \(B\).

Similar results held for fBm but not for the random Weierstrass function. For each process tested in this section, the complexity coefficient \(B\) behaved like the variogram-based fractal dimension estimator. It’s likely that the complexity coefficient \(B\) is an estimator of fractal dimension. One approach to proving this is would be to restrict the proof, for example, to stationary Gaussian processes and to simple polynomial or even linear approximation.

--- layout: app/template/default title: Workflowy and Scrum ---
A great way to get inspiration and new ideas is by looking at how others have solved the same thing. About 6 months ago I took a course on being a Scrum Master. Scrum is an "iterative and incremental agile software development framework for managing product development" (wikipedia), basically a way to ensure you are getting the best value out of a team of software developers. The key element I wanted to try was having a "product backlog" for my own goals - this is basically a list of everything your product owner wants to be developed sorted by how important it is.
Here is what I did. First signup to workflowy (affiliate link), next add an item called goals (or backlog if you want to stick with scrum terminology), then add everything that you think you want to get done. Every goal from "email a friend", to "travel the world". I use this as a dumping ground for new ideas. When you have a list of all the things that are important to you, start sorting them, put the things that are most important to you at the top.
When I first did this I used post-it notes spread across an entire wall, it's a nice visual way of getting started. The important point is that you know how important each of your goals/tasks are relative to each other.
Every day I empty my emails, my facebook inbox, and my text messages, as well as copying my tasks across from my notepad. These all get added to my goals section (or I deal with them straight away if I can do it quickly). Next I look at the most important couple of goals and write down a really small step that can get me started. It might simply be writing down what info I need to gather before I can fill out a tax return.
The advantages:
I did find that looking through such a long list every day become a little overwhelming so I have recently been playing with having a new list called my "weekly horizon" it is a much shorter list containing only the things I want to focus on this week.
A few months after I started this approach I found that one of the big names in Scrum had posted an article about someone else doing a similar thing, http://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/blog/the-agile-household-how-scrum-made-us-a-better-family

The New Hope - Ruby on Rails FTW
I’ve been quiet for quite a while now. I got kind of lost in the process of learning so many various things related to web development, that I forgot about what I initially aimed for. And that is, building real things. Until recently, I tried so many different things and with each of these tools (languages, frameworks, whatever have you), I only barely scratched the surface. Luckily, I finally realized that it’s not the best way to go about it all. I realized what I should’ve been doing from the start is trying to master one thing. And if I succeed, then try something else. So I tried to follow this approach and actually become good at something.
Dig Deeper
I decided I should learn one language first. But not just “go through some online tutorial” learn. Learn it for real. Then go look for a job using that language and progress further. Still not knowing much about how to do it, I found a cool Python course at a popular MOOCs site Coursera (if you’re not sure what MOOC is, check this wikipedia page). I can’t say anything bad about it at all, to be honest. I like the approach (building games), the lecturers (Steve is simply hilarious!), forums and all, yet there was one thing that wouldn’t stop bothering me. I was learning and having fun with it, but I had no idea how to put all that knowledge to good use in my soon-to-happen (LOL!) web development career. I ditched the final two-week long project and started to look for something that would suit my needs better.
Bootcamps
I got introduced to the idea of web development bootcamps. How do they work? In essence, you spend 3-4 months learning how to program in a given language, under the guidance of experience instructors (and learning many other related thins along the way). After that period, they (your former instructors) will likely introduce you to an employer. And bang - you just started your career as a developer. Sounds nice, right? Obviously, these camps do not come free, but it’s an investments worth the price (which varies from around $5k to something like $20k). The thing is, those bootcamps seem to be very popular in the US, but not that much in other parts of the world (yet!)*.
Still, I was hooked to the idea. I started to evaluate my options for something similar online. There is actually quite some choice. After googling for a while, reading a bunch of reviews and doing comparisons on my own, I decided to settle on Tealeaf.
Tealeaf Academy
What attracted me to it? For starters, I like the approach of dividing the whole learning material into three courses. If you are not a total beginner, you can start from the second or a third one. Plus, you don’t have to pay for all of it at once. You pay for each module (course) separately, so I only needed to spend like $500 to get started with the first one.**
Secondly, I love how they don’t try to lure you in only to get your money. When you do your research, you’ll see that Tealeaf representatives often use phrases like “it’s not for everyone”, “it might not suit you”, “for some people, other options might be better”. They know that actually taking their courses involves a lot of self-discipline and motivation. You really need to be willing to do the job on your own if you are to accomplish their programme.
Thirdly, there are no set, hard deadlines. Tealeaf guys understand well that not everyone has the same amount of time in hand. Each course is divided into weeks, but you can spend as much time on each week as you want. You only have 10 hours a week to spend on the course? No problem. You want to go at it full-time and finish well ahead of everyone else? Sure, why not. I love this because I don’t have the same amount of free time every week, it varies. So whenever I can, I learn and if I need to do something else, the course is not going anywhere.
Another thing. When you have a question, you ask it in a forums and one of the TAs will answer you often in a matter of minutes, so you can continue working on your code almost straight away. You don’t need to wait for a specific day in the week, when you have your session with a mentor scheduled (that’s how Bloc, another popular “bootcampy” site does it). I guess this depends on what you prefer, for me the forums is clearly a better fit.
Finally, Tealeaf promises you moneyback option if you happen not to like how they go about stuff. That’s a big sign of confidence in their own learning methods.
Oh, and I almost forgot. THE MOST IMPORTANT: after completing all three courses, you should be able to build your own app using Ruby on Rails. And make it fully working on the web. That’s exactly what I needed!***
So Where am I?
Well, not too far yet. I’m only after pre-course and week 1 of the first course and tackling the material of the second. I actually am finding out, that my previous Coursera Python course is a big help right now. It appears that when you once figure out how programmers think, the language doesn’t matter that much (but granted, Python and Ruby are quite similar, in my opinion at least).
Starting a blog was actually one of the assignments/advice in the first week of the course. And I’m glad it was there, because I seriously don’t know if I would be writing here in the future if not for that… There will likely be a lot of Ruby (and Rails as I progress) related stuff here from now on but I’ll try to post some useful stuff regarding other things as well from time to time. I actually have quite a large base of useful links that I gathered over that few months of my learning, so hopefully you might find some useful stuff if you’re not Ruby-focused, too.
*To my surprise, I actually found out there are some options in Poland as well. For example Coders Lab. Still, it’s more expensive than Tealeaf, seems to cover less material and I would likely need to move to Warsaw (there is a weekend course, but it lasts for 16 weekends – no way I could have so many in a row free of other arrangements).
**By the way, price for all three courses is quite advantegous too.
***No, I am not associated with Tealeaf in any other way than learning from them. I do love their stuff and I simply wrote what I think of them.
