By default, the samples try to be as uncorrelated and independent as possible from any other inputs. However, sometimes inputs to have some degree of correlation between them. If it is desired to force a set of variables to have certain correlations, which is not uncommon in real-life situations, this can be done with the correlate function (NOTE: this should be done BEFORE any calculations have taken place in order to work properly).
For example, let’s look at our A Simple Example with inputs x1, x2, and x3:
# The correlation coefficients before adjusting
>>> print correlation_matrix([x1, x2, x3])
[[ 1. 0.00558381 0.01268168]
[ 0.00558381 1. 0.00250815]
[ 0.01268168 0.00250815 1. ]]
You’ll notice a few things about the correlation matrix. First, the diagonals are all 1.0 (they always are). Second, the matrix is symmetric. Third, the correlation coefficients in the upper and lower triangular parts are relatively small. This is how mcerp is designed.
Here is what the actual samples looks like in a matrix plot form (created using plotcorr([x1, x2, x3], labels=['x1', 'x2', 'x3'])):
Now, let’s say we desire to impose a -0.75 correlation between x1 and x2. Let’s create the desired correlation matrix (note that all diagonal elements should be 1.0):
# The desired correlation coefficient matrix
>>> c = np.array([[ 1.0, -0.75, 0.0],
... [-0.75, 1.0, 0.0],
... [ 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]])
Using the mcerp.correlate function, we can now apply the desired correlation coefficients to our samples to try and force the inputs to be correlated:
# Apply the correlations into the samples (works in-place)
>>> correlate([x1, x2, x3], c)
# Show the new correlation coefficients
>>> print correlation_matrix([x1, x2, x3])
[[ 1.00000000e+00 -7.50010477e-01 1.87057576e-03]
[ -7.50010477e-01 1.00000000e+00 8.53061774e-04]
[ 1.87057576e-03 8.53061774e-04 1.00000000e+00]]
The correlation matrix is roughly what we expected within a few percent. Even the other correlation coefficients are closer to zero than before. If any exceptions appear during this operation, it is likely because the correlation matrix is either not symmetric, not positive-definite, or both.
The newly correlated samples will now look something like:
Now that the inputs’ relations have been modified, let’s check how the output of our stack-up has changed (sometimes the correlations won’t change the output much, but others can change a lot!):
# Z should now be a little different
>>> Z = (x1*x2**2)/(15*(1.5 + x3))
>>> Z.describe
MCERP Uncertain Value:
> Mean................... 1153.710442
> Variance............... 97123.3417748
> Skewness Coefficient... 0.211835225063
> Kurtosis Coefficient... 2.87618465139
We can also see what adding that correlation did: reduced the mean, reduced the variance, increased the skewness, increased the kurtosis.

This guide explains step by step how to create a minimal linux image for the Rasperry PI 3,
using buildroot and a Linux host system (such as Fedora, Debian or Ubuntu).
The kernel is armv8 (64-bits).
Instead of using glibc, we will use uCLibc.
We will use a small initramfs image.
All files are stored in a single fat32 partition of the uSD card.
This step describes how to download buildroot, and build an image.
Create a working directory on the Linux host PC, for instance:
~$ mkdir -p lfs/rpi3/min_img
~$ cd lfs/rpi3/min_img
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img$
Download and extract the latest released version of buildroot:
~/lfs/rpi2/min_img$ wget --no-check-certificate https://buildroot.org/downloads/buildroot-2017.11.tar.bz2
~/lfs/rpi2/min_img$ tar -f buildroot-2017.11.tar.bz2 -x
~/lfs/rpi2/min_img$ cd buildroot-2017.11/
~/lfs/rpi2/min_img/buildroot-2017.11/$
Use either make config or make xconfig to adjust the configuration.
The configuration is:
Target options
- Target Architecture: AARCH64 (little endian)
Build options
Toolchain
- Custom kernel headers series4.9.x
System configuration
- Root password: root (or any password you want)
Kernel
- Kernel versionCustom Git repository
- URL of custom repositoryhttps://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git
- Custom repository versionrpi-4.9.y
- Defconfig namebcmrpi3
- Select: Build a Device Tree Blob (DTB)
- Device Tree Source file namesbroadcom/bcm2710-rpi-3-b
Target packages
- Hardware handling / Firmware - Select: rpi-firmware
Filesystem images
- Select: cpio the root filesystem (for use as an initial RAM filesystem)
- Compression method: gzip
Host utilities
- Select: host dosfstools
- Select: host genimage
- Select: host mtools
Notes:
- By default, the build will use all cpu cores. Specify the maximum number of cores you want to use
(For instance, my machine at home is 8-cores CPU, I usually use 4 or 6 cores for the build)
You can download the configuration file
rpi3_minimal_defconfig
If you want to use the configuration file instead of changing the configuration manuall, you can use these steps:
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ wget https://rawgit.com/osingla/LinuxFromScratch/gh-pages/rpi3/minimal_img/rpi3_minimal_defconfig
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ mv rpi3_minimal_defconfig configs/
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ make rpi3_minimal_defconfig
Depending of the speed of your build machine and your Internet speed, the build could take a while, typically in the 20 to 30 minutes for a first time build.
Build now:
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ make
Once the build is done, you will have the kernel, the Device Tree Blob (DTB), and the root filesystem tar file:
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ tree --charset unicode -L 2 output/images/
output/images/
|-- bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb
|-- Image
|-- rootfs.cpio
|-- rootfs.cpio.gz
|-- rootfs.tar
`-- rpi-firmware
|-- bootcode.bin
|-- cmdline.txt
|-- config.txt
|-- fixup.dat
|-- overlays
`-- start.elf
2 directories, 10 files
This step describes how to create a uSD card using the image previously built.
Any uSD card will do, assuming it's at least a 2 GB card. >br>
We will create one partition on the uSD card. Actually, what really matters is the first partition of the uSD card:
- the 1st partition needs to be FAT32, and
- the 1st partition needs to be at least 128 MB
The first fat32 partition will hold
- the firmware (boot loader)
- the kernel and the device tree blob (dtb)
- the initramfs image
Use fdisk to create the partitions:
- partition 1 : type fat32 (12, 0x0C), 128 M
Once you have created the partitions on the uSD card, assuming your linux host assigned the device /dev/sdg
(you can check using dmesg), you will do something like this to copy the firmware, the kernel and the DTB:
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ rm -rf /tmp/rpi3-sd
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ mkdir -p /tmp/rpi3-sd
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ fdisk -l /dev/sdg
Disk /dev/sdg: 62.5 GiB,<PHONE_NUMBER>0 bytes, 131072000 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdg1 * 2048 131071999 131069952 62.5G c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ sudo partprobe /dev/sdg
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ mkfs.vfat -n rpi3-sd /dev/sdg1
mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ sudo mount /dev/sdg1 /tmp/rpi3-sd
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ sudo cp -r output/images/rpi-firmware/* /tmp/rpi3-sd/
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ sudo cp output/images/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb /tmp/rpi3-sd/
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ sudo cp output/images/Image /tmp/rpi3-sd/
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.02.8$ sudo cp output/images/rootfs.cpio.gz /tmp/rpi3-sd/
You now need to edit two files on the uSD card:
Since we use an initramfs image, we need to change the kernel parameters specified in /tmp/rpid3-sd/cmdline.txt:
change the line
root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait console=tty1 console=ttyAMA0,115200
with
console=tty1 console=ttyAMA0,11520
We need now to make a few modifications in /tmp/rpid3-sd/config.txt
Change the line
kernel=zImage
with
kernel=Image
Change the line
#initramfs rootfs.cpio.gz
with
initramfs rootfs.cpio.gz
Add the line at the end of the file
arm_control=0x200
You can now unmount the uSD card and eject it:
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ sudo umount /tmp/rpi3-sd
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2017.11$ sudo eject /dev/sdg
I wrote a simple shell script which create the two partitions on the uSD card, and then copy the files.
Feel free to use it instead of typing all the commmands above.
~/lfs/rpi3/min_img/buildroot-2015.11.1$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/osingla/LinuxFromScratch/gh-pages/create-sdcard1.sh
~/lfs/rpi4/min_img/buildroot-2015.11.1$ ./create-sdcard1.sh --device /dev/sdg
YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE DEVICE NAME.
PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE OUTPUT OF dmesg TO SEE THE DEVICE NAME.
You are now ready to test your uSD card.
Insert this card on your Rasperry PI3, and apply power.
If all goes well, you should get a shell.

One man's commute birthed his mission to feed Philly's homeless
On this day in Philadelphia, just like any other, homeless people stand on the street. Philly native Ian McBride made it his mission to help.
For the last month, he has asked friends, family, and social media to help him raise money in order to purchase dozens of cheeseburgers to deliver across the city.
After an incredible outpouring of support, McBride was able to create essential care packages with socks and snacks to pair with every burger. It started as a simple way for McBride, a car salesman, to give back on his day off. Now, he's able to assemble goods for the local homeless every two weeks. With even more support, he hopes to turn this into a weekly effort and beyond.

Kootour is a web platform that provides private and coustomized guided tours for travelers and it helps local guides create private tours.
A user who lands to the kootour website will see a tour and activity on a carefully design card yet to be easily implemented for the front end developer. I have already got Bootstrap’s card component while I am designing the card. If the pontential traveller is interested in the tour by simply looking at the main five features of the tour: price, image, name of the tour & activites, the name of the guide and a few description of the tour.
If the traveller is interested in the tour, she will click on the card which will bring her to the tour detail pages, where she can find detail information about the trip. The designer make use of the Bootstrap’s powerful 12 columns to make it responsive while keeping in mind about the most important information stay above the fold when viewed on mobile screen. (remain on the screen before it is scrolled down.
Once the traveller is interested in the tour, and when she books, she can either register if she is a new coustomer or she can log in to proceed the booking process. There is also “Book as a Guest” function for the users to skip these steps and make the booking process easier and accessible for those who do not want to signup.
Mono colour icons (either white or turquoise) are used at the pages where they are a lot of contents and pictures while icons with different colors are used at the pages where they are not lots of contents. Icons can be both with or without background. The background of the icon is square with rounded corners.
The colours of soical media icons are the offical colors from the respective soical media.
Montserrat a open sources fonts created by and it can be downloaded on Google Fonts. There are nine different font style: Thin, Ultra-Light, Light, Regular, Medium, Semi-Bold, Bold, Extra-Bold and Black.
Kootour uses Light, Regular and Medium. The regular text is used ‘Light’ and header, title and text on the buttons are used Medium. Montserrat Regular font is too bold to use regular text and paragraph to match Kootour’s Design. Montserrat does not come with Italic font family,

This started out as a package for file and string manipulation.
Since then, the 'fs' and 'strex' packages emerged, offering functionality
previously given by this package (but it's done better in these new ones).
Those packages have hence almost pushed 'filesstrings' into extinction.
However, it still has a small number of unique, handy file manipulation
functions which can be seen in the vignette.
One example is a function to remove spaces from all file names in a
directory.

cruisecontrol and windows
Last night I spent hours trying to get cruise control, a continuous build environment, to blinken the gerfingerpoken lightens.
Everything else works great. I'd upgraded to the most recent version of CC, cleaned up the config file, cleaned up the unused branches and builds, even cleaned up the borken test framework so the Nightly tests would not fail (actually, I'm not sure if the tests are run, but the light is green! ).
But for some reason it can't find the damn COM port.

Has the NFL's Rooney Rule worked?
Kathryn Smith became the first full-time assistant coach in the NFL when she was hired by the Buffalo Bills in January. This was a piece of good news for NFL commisioner Roger Goodell who announced last week that he will extend the Rooney Rule to women.
The Rooney Rule was enacted in 2003 and is a policy that requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football positions.
Since then, the number of senior coaching posiitons filled by minorities has increased from 16 to 21 in 2016. That may not sound like much of an improvement, but seven minority head coaches will begin the 2016 season, up from just two in 2003, and zero in 2002. The number of minority defensive coordinators has been higher than that of offensive coordinators, potentially highlighting a different racial tendency of teams.


News story
A summary of Ofqual's proposed changes for exam marking reviews, appeals, grade boundaries and Code of Practice for GCSEs, AS and A levels.
Ofqual is today (10 December) launching a consultation on three inter-related sets of proposals , covering:
Today’s proposals for changing the review and appeals systems stem from the results of a year-long study into the quality of marking that we published last year and extended conversations with school representatives. We would encourage anybody with an interest in GCSEs, AS and A levels to read our proposals and respond by 11 March 2016.
Glenys Stacey, Chief Regulator, said:
This year we have seen another increase in appeals. Schools want to do the best for their students which is understandable given the importance of GCSE, AS and A level grades on their future prospects, but it also reflects teachers’ increasing lack of confidence in marking and the current appeals system. We believe the evidence-based proposals put forward today will improve transparency and fairness. But most importantly, these changes will reduce the disappointment and frustration that too many students and teachers currently encounter when navigating exam boards’ appeal systems.
Ian Stockford, Executive Director for General Qualifications, said:
We want a system that corrects marking errors but does not give candidates who challenge their marks an unfair advantage over those who do not. In other words, we want a system that is fair. This is about making sure students get the right results, boosting schools’ confidence in the system.
(Part A, beginning page 12)
In summary, we are proposing that from summer 2016:
To support today’s launch we have summarised the main changes in an infographic and are publishing the detailed research undertaken to identify our preferred proposals - part C, pages 83-93.
(Part B, beginning page 31 and part C, beginning page 43)
To implement the proposals set out above, we need to put in place some new rules and remove some others. In summary, we need to:
(Part D, beginning page 46)
The Code of Practice includes rules that exam boards follow when setting grade boundaries for legacy GCSEs, AS and A levels. The rules are designed to make sure candidates are treated consistently, regardless of their exam board. As we withdraw the Code of Practice, we propose to broadly to replicate these existing rules and to apply them to both new and legacy GCSEs, AS and A levels.

What are competencies?
Competencies are a combination of attitudes, skills, and knowledge that enable an individual to perform a task or activity successfully in a given job and roles are the starting point for arriving at them.
There are three types of competencies: Behavioural, Functional and Domain
Why is it important?
Competencies help with:
1. Providing information on individual requirements from a role
2. Identifying learning and development needs for government officials
3. Streamlining the recruitment process
Example:
1. Competency Label: Noting and Drafting
Competency Type: Functional
Description: Drafts and analyses a note, in order, in order to move a proposal for
decision making on the availability of evidence and existing rules and precedents.
2. Competency Label: Communication Skills
Competency Type: Behavioural
Description: Articulates information to others in a language that is clear, concise, and easy to understand. It also includes the ability to listen and understand the unspoken feelings and concerns of others.
3. Competency Label: Regulatory and Legal Advisory
Competency Type: Domain
Description: Provides advice to business and management stakeholders on regulatory compliance and legal matters related to support business decision making

What is a role?
Roles describe the overall objective of a group of activities and how they contribute to the position.
Why is it important?
Roles help understand the mandate of a position. There could be similar positions across the government, but differentiated by the roles they form. Roles help articulate these distinctions by highlighting why the position exists and how it works towards larger organisational goals and priorities.
Example:
• Ensures inclusion and accuracy of facts in vigilance proposals.
• Coordinates and manages relationships with various stakeholders
• Manages grievance redressal mechanisms
What is an activity?
Activities are a set of actions taken to contribute towards the various roles one performs within a position.
Why is it important?
Activities speak directly to the execution capacity of an individual public official by providing details on the mandate of their position, and how it is distinguished from other positions in the government.
Example:
• Role: Ensures inclusion and accuracy of facts in vigilance related proposals
• Activities:
- Checks the facts with regards to proposal keeping in mind existing rules, provisions, and legal precedents
- Supplies missing facts to a proposal if any information is missing
- Supports drafting of proposals
- Quotes previous precedents by referring to existing rules


| READDIR(2) | Linux Programmer's Manual | READDIR(2) |
int readdir(unsigned int fd, struct old_linux_dirent *dirp, unsigned int count);
Note: There is no glibc wrapper for this system call; see NOTES.
readdir() reads one old_linux_dirent structure from the directory referred to by the file descriptor fd into the buffer pointed to by dirp. The argument count is ignored; at most one old_linux_dirent structure is read.
The old_linux_dirent structure is declared (privately in Linux kernel file fs/readdir.c) as follows:
struct old_linux_dirent { unsigned long d_ino; /* inode number */ unsigned long d_offset; /* offset to this old_linux_dirent */ unsigned short d_namlen; /* length of this d_name */ char d_name[1]; /* filename (null-terminated) */ }
d_ino is an inode number. d_offset is the distance from the start of the directory to this old_linux_dirent. d_reclen is the size of d_name, not counting the terminating null byte ('\0'). d_name is a null-terminated filename.
This system call does not exist on x86-64.

2.4.4. Exercises¶
To do the exercises, copy the content of the ‘skeletons’ folder as a new folder named ‘workspace’:
% cp -r skeletons workspace
You can then edit the content of the workspace without fear of loosing the original exercise instructions.
Then fire an ipython shell and run the work-in-progress script with:
[1] %run workspace/exercise_XX_script.py arg1 arg2 arg3
If an exception is triggered, use %debug to fire-up a post mortem ipdb session.
Refine the implementation and iterate until the exercise is solved.
For each exercise, the skeleton file provides all the necessary import statements, boilerplate code to load the data and sample code to evaluate the predictive accurracy of the model.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Exercise 0: Digits recognition¶
- Train a Support Vector Machine classifier.
- Evaluate the performance using cross validation.
- Change the value of C and gamma to see the impact on the generalization performance.
ipython command line:
%run workspace/exercise_00_digits.py
<IP_ADDRESS>. Exercise 1: Language identification¶
- Write a text classification pipeline using 3-grams of characters on data from Wikipedia articles as training set.
- Evaluate the performance on some held out test set.
ipython command line:
%run workspace/exercise_01_language_train_model.py data/languages/paragraphs/
<IP_ADDRESS>. Exercise 2: Sentiment Analysis on movie reviews¶
- Write a text classification pipeline to classify movie reviews as either positive or negative.
- Find a good set of parameters using grid search.
- Evaluate the performance on a held out test set.
- Display the most discriminative features for the each class.
ipython command line:
%run workspace/exercise_02_sentiment.py data/movie_reviews/txt_sentoken/
<IP_ADDRESS>. Exercise 3: Unsupervised topic extraction¶
- Train Non Negative Matrix Factorization model on the movie review dataset to extract the 10 main topics.
- Display the most important words for each topic.
ipython command line:
%run workspace/exercise_03_topic.py data/movie_reviews/txt_sentoken/
<IP_ADDRESS>. Exercise 4: CLI text classification utility¶
Using the results of the previous exercises and the cPickle module of the standard library, write a command line utility that detects the language of some text provided on stdin and estimate the polarity (positive or negative) if the text is written in English.
Bonus point if the utility is able to give a confidence level for its predictions.
Note
While python cPickle works it is recommended to use sklearn.external.joblib optimized pickler for large models.

I love using people-driven design principles to build digital technology solutions. Decision making should employ not just data in the form of numbers but also interactions and feelings. As a former consultant and big data enthusiast, I can confidently say that successful product decisions are driven by interactions and feelings before numbers and models. I’ve used empathy, analytics, and design to build user-centered digital solutions, from AI for enterprise IT to an intraoffice lunch review app.
I am especially passionate about B2B SaaS/PaaS solutions and big data analytics.
I’m currently a dual Masters degree candidate at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, where I will receive an MBA and MS in Design Innovation (McCormick School of Engineering). In this dual-degree program (Kellogg’s MMM program – Multidisciplinary, MS, MBA) we focus on integrating business with empathy-driven design, technical expertise, and human-centered innovation.
Before Kellogg, I worked at EY working with companies to operate effectively in a global economy. During my time at the firm, I worked on digital products for our service line and clients to digitize and streamline steps of the compliance process. While developing a passion for elegant digital solutions, I learned to effectively manage products and cross-functional teams, coach and mentor staff, and build complex data models. My time at EY influenced me greatly in that I learned how to root digital solutions for businesses in people and processes.
I hope to bring my cross-functional skillset to a role facilitating cooperative innovation among engineering, design, product, marketing, finance, and other business functions. I'm always ready to get my hands dirty and jump into the weeds of a problem.
Major - Mathematics, Economics
In my free time, I love getting to the pool to swim laps – swimming has been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember. I also recently started biking as a result of being a student at Northwestern - Chicagoland has some great trails!
I also play a lot of board and video games. I’m always looking for recommendations (tabletop, PS4, Switch, and PC) so please share your must-plays with me! Currently been using a mix of technology to continue my board game crew's venture through Pandemic Season 1 during lockdown.
Follow me on Twitter, you'll see I send a lot of Tweets around all my interests - technology, gaming and design!

class: center, middle # Progressive Enhancement - Browser Technologies Danny de Vries - Minor Web Development --- # Browser Technologies - Progressive Enhancement ## Briefing Make a demo based on the following use case: > As a user I want to get a notification when my favorite soccer team has won a game. Make sure all users with different browsers get the minimal functionality based on the principles of Progressive Enhancement. --- ## Core functionality A notification is a broad term as found in the dictionary. It's an act or instance of notifying or giving notice of a event that happened. Most users consider something a notification if: * It is purposely different than the normal interface or even outside the UI * There is a certain delay in the sending of the notification and the receival * It has to trigger some sort of attention (affordance / visual feedback) --- ## Progressive Enhancement ### HTML If `JavaScript` is disabled and only `HTML` (and `CSS`) are loaded the scores will update by refreshing the HTML thus simulating a new call to a database or api. ```html
``` `content`: After how much seconds the page should refresh and which page it should redirect to. #### Support Supported in effectively all browsers (since IE6+, Firefox 2+, Chrome 1+ etc) --- ### CSS & JavaScript When CSS and JavaScript are both enabled I show a lightbox that simulates a notification. ```js document.querySelector('.lightbox-ajax').innerHTML = document.getElementById('clickLightbox').addEventListener('click', clickLightbox, false); ``` With the `setTimeout` function I've delayed the firing of the function to delay the dialog. #### Support Supported in effectively browsers above `> IE 8`. --- ### Notification API To enhance the experience on Desktop browsers the Notification API is used. > The Notifications API allows web pages to control the display of system notifications to the end user — these are outside the top-level browsing context viewport, so therefore can be displayed even the user has switched tabs or moved to a different app. The API is designed to be compatible with existing notification systems across different platforms. Showing a system notification involves two things: * User needs to grant permission to display system notification * Then the notification can be created --- **Constructor** `Notification()`: Creates new instance of the Notification object **Static properties** `Notification.permission`: Only available on the Notification object itself. **Instance properties** `title, body etc.`: You can specify options for the styling / actions of the notification. --- ## Accessibility ### Color I've used Sim Daltonism and Contrast Ratio Checker to check the colors of the User Interface, below are some screenshots: --- ### Tab The most important tabbable features are enabling the notifications and closing a notification. Both of them are button in the HTML and they are the only button so they can be tabbed right away. ### Readability For most of the text I used the correct heading tags so the font-size are set by default. I've increased the line-height a bit to make the slightly longer paragraphs easier to read. ### Semantic HTML / Screen reader The most important to items on the page, clubs and the score I've used the corresponding `h1` and `h2` tags. For the rest of the pages I tried to use as many semantic `tags` as possible. * The article has a correct header and body * `time` tag to indicate the time of the game --- ## Resources * [Can I use](caniuse.com) * [Mozzila Developer Network](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API) * [Sim Daltonism](https://michelf.ca/projects/sim-daltonism/) * [Contrast Ratio Checker](https://leaverou.github.io/contrast-ratio/) * [Branding](http://www.eredivisie.nl)

Nirdesh: MP seeks Centre’s intervention
Project in limbo for many years
by Special CorrespondentM.K. Raghavan, MP, has urged the Centre to immediately intervene to revive the National Institute for Research and Development in Defence Shipbuilding (Nirdesh) at Chaliyam here.
Raising the issue during the zero hour in Parliament on Thursday, Mr. Raghavan said that the Nirdesh project, under the Department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence, was in a state of limbo without any activities for several years.
He said that the project had been envisaged to design war ships for the country.
About 40 acres had been acquired by the State government for the proposed ₹600-crore project in 2011. If the present state of uncertainty continued, the government would recover the assigned land and the ambitious project would be wound up, he said.
Proposal rejected
Mr. Raghavan also said that the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister should step in to give Cabinet clearance for financing the project. Former Defence Minister A.K. Antony had laid the foundation stone for the project in 2011. A ₹200-crore revival package was mooted to revive the project four years ago. However, the Finance Ministry rejected the proposal .


Stephen William Hawking
English theoretical physicist whose theory of exploding black holes drew upon both relativity theory and quantum mechanics
Here's a breif about the man himself
Hawking studied physics at University College, Oxford (B.A., 1962), and Trinity Hall, Cambridge (Ph.D., 1966). He was elected a research fellow at Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge. In the early 1960s Hawking contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an incurable degenerative neuromuscular disease. He continued to work despite the disease’s progressively disabling effects.

Hawking worked primarily in the field of general relativity and particularly on the physics of black holes. In 1971 he suggested the formation, following the big bang, of numerous objects containing as much as one billion tons of mass but occupying only the space of a proton. These objects, called mini black holes, are unique in that their immense mass and gravity require that they be ruled by the laws of relativity, while their minute size requires that the laws of quantum mechanics apply to them also. In 1974 Hawking proposed that, in accordance with the predictions of quantum theory, black holes emit subatomic particles until they exhaust their energy and finally explode. Hawking’s work greatly spurred efforts to theoretically delineate the properties of black holes, objects about which it was previously thought that nothing could be known. His work was also important because it showed these properties’ relationship to the laws of classical thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
Hawking’s contributions to physics earned him many exceptional honours. In 1974 the Royal Society elected him one of its youngest fellows. He became professor of gravitational physics at Cambridge in 1977, and in 1979 he was appointed to Cambridge’s Lucasian professorship of mathematics, a post once held by Isaac Newton. Hawking was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 1982 and a Companion of Honour in 1989. He also received the Copley Medal from the Royal Society in 2006 and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009. In 2008 he accepted a visiting research chair at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

AMD's Radeon Pro W5700 brings RDNA to the workstation world
7nm GPU is also first to offer USB-C
by Roland Moore-ColyerAMD HAS TAKEN the covers off its first 7-nanometre professional-grade workstation graphics card, dubbed the Radeon Pro W5700.
It sports 36 compute units, 8GB of GDDR6 video memory, with a 256-bit memory interface and a bandwidth of 448GB/s, and delivers a total of 8.89 TFLOPS, the graphics card looks to be quite a pixel pusher.
In many ways, the Radeon Pro W5700 is effectively a professional take on the consumer-grade Radeon RX 5700, though its software is more work rather than pleasure-orientated.
It's aimed at chewing on enterprise-grade software and dealing with the types of graphically-demanding workloads of 3D designers, engineers, and architects, rather than running the latest games at 4K and 60 frames per second.
Tapping into AMD's latest RDNA graphics architecture, the Radeon Pro W5700 promises 25 per cent higher performance-per-clock and 41 per cent higher average performance-per-watt over Pro predecessors using Team Red's old Graphics Core Next architecture.
AMD noted it has tweaked the drivers for the Radeon Pro W5700 for workflow performance, and it also has a USB-C connector; AMD claims it's the first workstation graphics card to have one. That should help it connect to high-end monitors that support video input over USB-C, as well as head-mounted displays.
"We designed the AMD Radeon Pro W5700 to deliver significant performance gains in top design and manufacturing applications. Architects, designers and engineers now have the horsepower to drive demanding real-time and VR experiences, enabling a better and faster design creation process," spouted Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager of the Radeon Technologies Group at AMD.
The Radeon Pro W5700 is on sale now and will cost $799 (around £618). We expect to see it pop up in pre-built workstations from the likes of Dell, HP, and Lenovo, as well as being an option for custom-built machines aimed at folks who work with 3D software.
This all shows AMD is keen to push RDNA of to professionals as well as Team Red enthusiasts, which is great for the company, but we're still waiting on a true killer graphics card from the company. µ

Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxies and Impacts on Weak Lensing¶
Key Points¶
Spurious (non-cosmological) correlations between galaxies, known as intrinsic alignments (IAs) have long been known to affect cosmic shear estimates. [Samuroff et al. 2018]
The particular challenge posed by IA modelling is in large part down to the nature of the contamination: IA correlations are a real astrophysical signal, which enters much the same angular scales as cosmic shear itself. [Samuroff et al. 2018]
Reviews¶

Galaxy Alignments
Key Paper¶
Alignment of the intrinsic shapes of physically close pairs of galaxies, known as II correlations (Intrinsic-Intrinsic)
Catelan et al. 2001 - Intrinsic and extrinsic galaxy alignment
Tidal interaction: Long-range correlations in the tidal field will thus lead to long-range ellipticity-ellipticity correlations that mimic the shear correlations arising from weak gravitational lensing.
Mackey et al. 2002 - Theoretical estimates of intrinsic galaxy alignment
Rotational torquing: We present a new model relating ellipticity to angular momentum, which can be calculated in linear theory.
An often more pervasive effect comes from the fact that the same foreground matter experiences local gravitational interactions over short spatial scales, and also induces lensing of background galaxies. This generates correlations in shape between foreground galaxies and background sources (Gravitational-Intrinsic)
Total IA contamination to cosmological shear can be as high as 10% in modern surveys
The IA signal, if correctly modelled, can in principle be used as a probe of:
-
We make forecasts for the ability of current and future spectroscopic surveys to constrain local primordial non-Gaussianity and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in the cross-correlation function of intrinsic alignments and the galaxy density field
Primordial non-Gaussianity: Chisari et al. 2016 - Multitracing anisotropic non-Gaussianity with galaxy shapes
We study the use of two different shape estimators as a multitracer probe of intrinsic alignments. We show, by means of a Fisher analysis, that this technique promises a significant improvement on anisotropic non-Gaussianity constraints over a single-tracer method.
Galaxy formation: Schmitz et al. 2018 - Time evolution of intrinsic alignments of galaxies
In particular, advection of galaxies due to peculiar velocities alters the impact of IA, because galaxy positions when observed are generally different from their positions at the epoch when IA is believed to be set.
-
A number of mitigation techniques have been proposed, involving:
Discarding physically close pairs of galaxies: Catelan et al. 2001 and Kirk et al. 2015 - Galaxy Alignments: Observations and Impact on Cosmology
Downweighting:
-
We show how distance information, either spectroscopic or photometric redshifts, can be used to downweight nearby pairs in an optimized way, to reduce the errors in the shear signal arising from intrinsic alignments. Provided a conservatively large intrinsic alignment is assumed, the optimized weights will essentially remove all traces of contamination
Nulling: Heavens & Joachimi 2011 - Cosmic magnification: nulling intrinsic clustering
All of these methods depend on the existence of accurate redshift information to allow galaxies to be located relative to each other along the line of sight. Significantly, they are also ineffective in mitigating GI correlations [Samuroff et al. 2018]
It has been noted in both simulations and data that the choice of galaxy shape estimation method can alter the magnitude of the IA signal by an overall scale-independent factor
-
We observe environment dependence of ellipticity, with brightest galaxies in groups being rounder on average compared to satellite and field galaxies. We also study the anisotropy in intrinsic alignments measurements introduced by projected shapes, finding effects consistent with predictions of the non-linear alignment model and hydrodynamic simulations.
-
Attempts to place observational constraints on the alignment properties of galaxy samples more representative of the sort used for cosmological lensing measurements
Recent Measurements¶
Intrinsic alignments in redMaPPer clusters:
Huang et al. 2018a - I. Central galaxy alignments and angular segregation of satellites
We find that central galaxies are more aligned with their member galaxy distributions in clusters that are more elongated and have higher richness, and for central galaxies with larger physical size, higher luminosity and centering probability, and redder color. Satellites with redder color, higher luminosity, located closer to the central galaxy, and with smaller ellipticity show a stronger angular segregation towards their central galaxy major axes.
Huang et al. 2018b - II. Radial alignment of satellites towards cluster centres
Satellites alignments (SA): We detect the strongest SA signal in isophotal shapes, followed by de Vaucouleurs shapes. While no net SA signal is detected using re-Gaussianization shapes across the entire sample
We find that the measured SA signal is strongest for satellites with the following characteristics: higher luminosity, smaller distance to the cluster centre, rounder in shape, higher bulge fraction, and distributed preferentially along the major axis directions of their centrals.

We obtain tentative evidence that the signal increases towards higher richness and lower redshift.
Comparing our results to the IA measurements of luminous red galaxies, we find that the IA amplitude of galaxy clusters forms a smooth extension towards a higher mass.
In Simulations¶

Hilbert et al. 2017 - http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.457.2301S
The correlations considered include the matter density-intrinsic ellipticity (mI), galaxy density-intrinsic ellipticity (dI), gravitational shear-intrinsic ellipticity (GI) and intrinsic ellipticity-intrinsic ellipticity (II) correlations. We find stronger correlations for more massive and more luminous galaxies, as well as for earlier photometric types.
We also find that the GI contributions to the observed ellipticity correlations could be inferred directly from measurements of galaxy density-intrinsic ellipticity correlations, except on small scales, where systematic differences between mI and dI correlations are large.

We find that spheroidal galaxies in the simulation show a tendency to be aligned radially towards overdensities in the dark matter density field and other spheroidals.
Disc galaxies show a tendency to be oriented tangentially around spheroidals in three dimensions.

Tenneti et al. 2017 - Impact of Baryonic Physics on Intrinsic Alignments
We explore the parameter space of the subgrid star formation and feedback model and find remarkable robustness of the observable statistical measures to the details of subgrid physics.

We find that simulated disc galaxies are more oblate in shape and more misaligned with the shape of their host dark matter subhalo when compared with ellipticals. The disc major axis is found to be oriented towards the location of nearby elliptical galaxies.

| class | CNSCache< CStorage > |
Object to manage disk pages. The options include open, close and create files and read, write (change) and create pages.
All the disk page area is available. It means that no internal (control) data is written in the page. Only when a page is disposed an internal data is written (a pointer to the next disposed page or null). If the user wants to make some logical mark, use any position after the 20th byte (actually, it should be after the 4th, but I decided to reserve some more just in case...). It must be observed that, if the user writes on a disposed page, the data have great chance to be lost.
The intention with this object is only to help on building indexing methods for spatial and metric data. Yet, the idea is to use this as an academic tool for testing and tuning indexing methods, and not as a commercial one. So, it is not RELIABLE! Don't expect too much.
To aid the disk access, a cache manager is used. Its page replacement policy is the Natural Selection Page Replacement Policy (a mixing between the LRU and LFU replacement policies).
This version was modified from its original version by Fabio Jun Takada Chino and Josiel Maimone de Figueiredo.

Cloud¶
Unpacking the AWS Cloud¶
“Amazon has plans to build a new 120-acre data center park in Oregon’s Umatilla County, reported The East Oregonian. The facility will join one of three sites in East Oregon. The existing two are located in the Port of Morrow Industrial Park (Boardman) and at the McNary industrial park just outside of Umatilla.”
Location Location Location¶
AWS Data Centers¶
Cloud Advantages¶
elasticity and quick to scale
ephemeral - break it and rebuild
economies of scale
many details are now someone else’s problems
os patching
no down time
ubiquitous access
speed
autonomy - never blocked by human or policy
Cloud Disadvantages¶
must trust the provider
when the meter is running - they are billing you
costs seem less tangible
Managing Costs¶
s3 is $.02 per month per gigabyte
some instance types are free
need to write a whole section here
point to a notebook and aws cost analyzer
simple mitigation strategies
reserved instances?
spot instances
cloudchecker - is that what ist called - gov and contractor - have and have nots
Cattle versus Pets¶
all compute servers and docker containers are disposable at a moments notice
this is actually a really good thing
decouple compute from code
everything lives in the cloud
everything can be instantly recreated from a github repo TEXT file
i think that is really cool!!!!!
Pets Service Model¶
In the pets service model, each pet server is given a loving names like zeus, ares, hades, poseidon, and athena. They are “unique, lovingly hand-raised, and cared for, and when they get sick, you nurse them back to health”. You scale these up by making them bigger, and when they are unavailable, everyone notices.
Examples of pet servers include mainframes, solitary servers, load balancers and firewalls, database systems, and so on.
Cattle Service Model¶
In the cattle service model, the servers are given identification numbers like web01, web02, web03, web04, and web05, much the same way cattle are given numbers tagged to their ear. Each server is “almost identical to each other” and “when one gets sick, you replace it with another one”. You scale these by creating more of them, and when one is unavailable, no one notices.

DBC week 4: Technical blog
Arrays and Hashes
Established on Jan. 3, 2016
This week we are going to talk about Arrays and Hashes. They are both very important. Ruby would not be the same if it lives without their existence.
So, yes, they are use for storing and retrieving data. But what exactly are they? Lets start with Arrays. You can think of an array as a integer-indexed comma-seperated list which it stores data within a squared bracket. Array starts counting from 0 instead of 1. Please see the example below which showing an array storing in a variable called "weekday".
weekday = [ "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday" ]
To retrieve "Monday" you need to call week[0]
instead of week[1]
.
For hash, you can think of it as a collection of key-value pairs of information which it stores data within a curly bracket. However, the key are all unique but not neccessarily for the values. It is not an integer ordered list but a set of key-value pairs seperated by comma. In both arrays and hashes, if you try to access a key or index that doesn't exist, you will get nil by default.
weekday_hash = { "Monday" => 1, "Tuesday" => 2, "Wednesday" => 3, "Thursday" => 4, "Friday" => 5 }
In this case, "Monday" becomes the first key of the weekday_hash. To retrieve the value 1, you need to call weekday_hash["Monday"]
.
Below are some example syntaxs of arrays and hashes


Persistent connections for Net::HTTP
Net::HTTP::Persistent maintains persistent connections across all the servers you wish to talk to. For each host:port you communicate with a single persistent connection is created.
Multiple Net::HTTP::Persistent objects will share the same set of connections.
For each thread you start a new connection will be created. A Net::HTTP::Persistent connection will not be shared across threads.
You can shut down the HTTP connections when done by calling shutdown. You should name your Net::HTTP::Persistent object if you intend to call this method.
Example:
uri = URI.parse 'http://example.com/awesome/web/service' http = Net::HTTP::Persistent.new stuff = http.request uri # performs a GET # perform a POST post_uri = uri + 'create' post = Net::HTTP::Post.new post_uri.path post.set_form_data 'some' => 'cool data' http.request post_uri, post # URI is always required
The version of Net::HTTP::Persistent use are using
Sends debug_output to this IO via Net::HTTP#set_debug_output.
Never use this method in production code, it causes a serious security hole.
Maps host:port to an HTTP version. This allows us to enable version specific features.
The value sent in the Keep-Alive header. Defaults to 30. Not needed for HTTP/1.1 servers.
This may not work correctly for HTTP/1.0 servers
This method may be removed in a future version as RFC 2616 does not require this header.
Creates a new Net::HTTP::Persistent.
Set name to keep your connections apart from everybody else’s. Not required currently, but highly recommended. Your library name should be good enough. This parameter will be required in a future version.
proxy may be set to a URI::HTTP or :ENV to pick up proxy options from the environment. See proxy_from_env for details.
In order to use a URI for the proxy you’ll need to do some extra work beyond URI.parse:
proxy = URI.parse 'http://proxy.example' proxy.user = 'AzureDiamond' proxy.password = 'hunter2'
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 156 def initialize name = nil, proxy = nil @name = name @proxy_uri = case proxy when :ENV then proxy_from_env when URI::HTTP then proxy when nil then # ignore else raise ArgumentError, 'proxy must be :ENV or a URI::HTTP' end if @proxy_uri then @proxy_args = [ @proxy_uri.host, @proxy_uri.port, @proxy_uri.user, @proxy_uri.password, ] @proxy_connection_id = [nil<EMAIL_ADDRESS>':' end @debug_output = nil @headers = {} @http_versions = {} @keep_alive = 30 @open_timeout = nil @read_timeout = nil key = ['net_http_persistent', name, 'connections'].compact.join '_' @connection_key = key.intern key = ['net_http_persistent', name, 'requests'].compact.join '_' @request_key = key.intern @certificate = nil @ca_file = nil @private_key = nil @verify_callback = nil @verify_mode = nil end
Creates a new connection for uri
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 199 def connection_for uri Thread.current[@connection_key] ||= {} Thread.current[@request_key] ||= Hash.new 0 connections = Thread.current[@connection_key] net_http_args = [uri.host, uri.port] connection_id = net_http_args.join ':' if @proxy_uri then connection_id << @proxy_connection_id net_http_args.concat @proxy_args end unless connection = connections[connection_id] then connections[connection_id] = Net::HTTP.new(*net_http_args) connection = connections[connection_id] ssl connection if uri.scheme == 'https' end unless connection.started? then connection.set_debug_output @debug_output if @debug_output connection.open_timeout = @open_timeout if @open_timeout connection.read_timeout = @read_timeout if @read_timeout connection.start end connection rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED raise Error, "connection refused: #{connection.address}:#{connection.port}" rescue Errno::EHOSTDOWN raise Error, "host down: #{connection.address}:#{connection.port}" end
Returns an error message containing the number of requests performed on this connection
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 238 def error_message connection requests =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"after #{requests} requests on #{connection.object_id}" end
URI::escape wrapper
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 248 def escape str CGI.escape str if str end
Finishes the Net::HTTP connection
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 255 def finish connection<EMAIL_ADDRESS>connection.object_id connection.finish rescue IOError end
Returns the HTTP protocol version for uri
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 265 def http_version uri @http_versions["#{uri.host}:#{uri.port}"] end
Is req idempotent according to RFC 2616?
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 272 def idempotent? req case req when Net::HTTP::Delete, Net::HTTP::Get, Net::HTTP::Head, Net::HTTP::Options, Net::HTTP::Put, Net::HTTP::Trace then true end end
Adds “http://” to the String uri if it is missing.
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 283 def normalize_uri uri (uri =~ /^https?:/) ? uri : "http://#{uri}" end
Creates a URI for an HTTP proxy server from ENV variables.
If HTTP_PROXY is set a proxy will be returned.
If HTTP_PROXY_USER or HTTP_PROXY_PASS are set the URI is given the indicated user and password unless HTTP_PROXY contains either of these in the URI.
For Windows users lowercase ENV variables are preferred over uppercase ENV variables.
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 299 def proxy_from_env env_proxy = ENV['http_proxy'] || ENV['HTTP_PROXY'] return nil if env_proxy.nil? or env_proxy.empty? uri = URI.parse normalize_uri env_proxy unless uri.user or uri.password then uri.user = escape ENV['http_proxy_user'] || ENV['HTTP_PROXY_USER'] uri.password = escape ENV['http_proxy_pass'] || ENV['HTTP_PROXY_PASS'] end uri end
Makes a request on uri. If req is nil a Net::HTTP::Get is performed against uri.
If a block is passed request behaves like Net::HTTP#request (the body of the response will not have been read).
req must be a Net::HTTPRequest subclass (see Net::HTTP for a list).
If there is an error and the request is idempontent according to RFC 2616 it will be retried automatically.
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 341 def request uri, req = nil, &block retried = false bad_response = false req = Net::HTTP::Get.new uri.request_uri unless req headers.each do |pair| req.add_field(*pair) end if uri.user or uri.password req.basic_auth uri.user, uri.password end req.add_field 'Connection', 'keep-alive' req.add_field 'Keep-Alive', @keep_alive connection = connection_for uri connection_id = connection.object_id begin Thread.current[@request_key][connection_id] += 1 response = connection.request req, &block rescue Net::HTTPBadResponse => e message = error_message connection finish connection raise Error, "too many bad responses #{message}" if bad_response or not idempotent? req bad_response = true retry rescue IOError, EOFError, Timeout::Error, Errno::ECONNABORTED, Errno::ECONNRESET, Errno::EPIPE => e if retried or not idempotent? req due_to = "(due to #{e.message} - #{e.class})" message = error_message connection finish connection raise Error, "too many connection resets #{due_to} #{message}" end reset connection retried = true retry end @http_versions["#{uri.host}:#{uri.port}"] ||= response.http_version response end
Finishes then restarts the Net::HTTP connection
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 317 def reset connection<EMAIL_ADDRESS>connection.object_id finish connection connection.start rescue Errno::ECONNREFUSED raise Error, "connection refused: #{connection.address}:#{connection.port}" rescue Errno::EHOSTDOWN raise Error, "host down: #{connection.address}:#{connection.port}" end
Shuts down all connections for thread.
Uses the current thread by default.
If you’ve used Net::HTTP::Persistent across multiple threads you should call this in each thread when you’re done making HTTP requests.
NOTE: Calling shutdown for another thread can be dangerous!
If the thread is still using the connection it may cause an error! It is best to call shutdown in the thread at the appropriate time instead!
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 411 def shutdown thread = Thread.current connections = thread[@connection_key] connections.each do |_, connection| begin connection.finish rescue IOError end end if connections thread[@connection_key] = nil thread[@request_key] = nil end
Shuts down all connections in all threads
NOTE: THIS METHOD IS VERY DANGEROUS!
Do not call this method if other threads are still using their connections! Call shutdown at the appropriate time instead!
Use this method only as a last resort!
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 435 def shutdown_in_all_threads Thread.list.each do |thread| shutdown thread end nil end
Enables SSL on connection
# File lib/bundler/vendor/net/http/persistent.rb, line 446 def ssl connection require 'net/https' connection.use_ssl = true # suppress warning but allow override connection.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE unless @verify_mode if @ca_file then connection.ca_file = @ca_file connection.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_PEER connection.verify_callback = @verify_callback if @verify_callback end if @certificate and @private_key then connection.cert = @certificate connection.key = @private_key end connection.verify_mode = @verify_mode if @verify_mode end

Child Abuse Help Prevention
Child sponsorship is a unique relationship, that brings real hope and a life-affirming experience. Individually, they raised their £400 via the event fundraising pages which George praises as an excellent aspect of the Yomp. The team then went on to approach clients, family and friends. As they were a corporate team they were also lucky enough to have the firm’s social media as a platform to promote their efforts. Through sharing their training, team news, fun facts and fundraising page, they were able to gain a strong online interest on Facebook and Twitter, which helped raise their total.
It’s an event that will stay with us all for a very long time. The whole thing was incredibly special from the scenery and location to the wonderful event staff and brilliant organisation. At the heart of it though is the challenge and each and every one of us had to dig deep to complete it, but that is what makes it so rewarding!
This report sets out a high-level view of progress since the strategy’s launch. Alongside ongoing dialogue with the UK and international research community, we’ve sought input and challenge on our progress from supporters, patients and those affected by cancer.
Event Location
Our organisation has never shied away from taking on the toughest challenges – from protecting future generations from tobacco, to tackling the cancers that are hardest to treat. There is still much to do, but I’m highly encouraged by the progress that we’ve made to date and remain confident that we’re on the right track.

A Wu-Tang Clan theme park is being planned
Jimmy Kang, the Vice President of Wu-Tang Clan Management, is behind the project
A Wu-Tang Clan theme park in South Korea is in the early stages of development.
Jimmy S. Kang, the vice president of the legendary hip-hop group’s Wu-Tang Management organisation, is driving the ambitious project and confirmed the plans in a new interview in the US.
Speaking to MassLive, Kang said he was currently negotiating for the theme park to open in Seoul, where his family emigrated to the US from when he was four years old.
The feature on Kang also mentions that he showed the publication plans for the park on his laptop screen. No further details were provided, though.

While Kang didn’t expand on the details behind his Wu Tang theme park plan, he did credit his father with fuelling his desire to follow through on ambitious projects.
“[My father] always told me: ‘If you’re going to do something, do it to your fullest potential. Don’t half-ass it or you’re just wasting time.'”
Wu-Tang’s last full music release came in 2017 with the compilation ‘The Saga Continues’. The sole copy of the group’s last official studio album, ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin’, was infamously sold to the controversial entrepreneur Martin Shkreli in 2015.
Last week, podcast host Joe Rogan said that he was willing to buy Shkreli’s copy of ‘Once Upon a Time in Shaolin’.

3 Tips To Keep Your Home Network Secure
As technology around us becomes more advanced and connected to the internet, there becomes more of a reach of vulnerability with our day to day lives. While going to friends and family houses, I have noticed that regular consumer or day-to-day people are hardly aware of how easy it is for hackers to own their network. So to spread awareness, here are three tips to help keep your home network secure.
1. Set a router password
Most people are not aware that you can access your routers machine by entering it’s Internet Protocol (IP) Address when connected to your WiFi. You can find the router or modems IP address by opening up Command Prompt for Windows and typing in the following code.
ipconfig
Scroll down using the scroll bar, and look for a set of numbers by ‘Default Gateway’, that will look something along the lines of <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
| If you are on an Apple machine, you open Terminal and type in netstat -rn | grep default to figure out what the router IP address is. Or, you can open up System Preferences > Network > Click ‘Advanced’ > Click ‘TCP/IP’. From there, there will be a row that says router, followed by the IP address. |
If you copy and paste that address into your web browser, it should pop up with a login pop up, or a login page. If you have not set your router or modems password, the username should be admin, and the password would be password. In some cases, there is not a username, and in some cases, there will no username and password. If you want to be sure, you can visit this page to see what your factory default password is.
If you are able to get in, look around and set the router password to something secure that is easy to remember, but difficult to guess. You can use LastPass password generator to generate a secure but easy to read passwords.
2. Ensure your WiFi is set to WPA/WPA2
By default most routers when initially are set, set the WiFi encryption to WPS or WEP. Those encryptions can be pretty easily cracked, which can lead to consequences of intruders breaking into your network, and an ability to spy on your network activity. But rather, the fix is to change that to WPS to WPA/WPA2 or just WPA2. This makes it near impossible for people to break into your network.
You can make this change on your computer, but it would be best to do this through your router or modem. Showing how to do this can be difficult because every router varies in terms of where this is, but the general idea of where you want to look for is, first, log onto your router. Then look for the menu and go to Wireless > Click ‘Security Mode’ and select WPA/WPA2.
3. Frequently Update Router Firmware
The router you have has essentially its own operating system. Just like software or your computer needs to be updated, so does yours. This can help apply any new security patches or bug fixes. You can update the firmware from the webpage on your router and mode, access via it’s IP.
