2:15am - Ingest 27-28mg 4-HO-MET fumarate orally/sublingually. Of note: Had 4mg of DOC earlier (at 9:30am) which is basically gone (so I did not include it in the list of substances). Taste is not good, but not overpowering either. Kind of a dusty, old-tasting bitterness. It's a crisp bitterness, unpleasant but easily bearable.
2:35 - Bowels moving. I feel a light and very smooth buzz beginning.
2:49 - Here it comes. This wave feels like the come-on of 4-AcO-DMT. Just put on a CD I made which is an assortment of My Morning Jacket, recommended by a friend for some time now. It's the first time listening to them at all.
2:54 - Some time dilation. Intensification and bleeding of colors. A strange effect of straight edges seeming to flow to the right, into themselves (not actually ending up in a different place). This is all just beginning to develop now. CEVs faint, indistinct, but present.
3:04 - Afterimages remaining longer than usual and more vividly than usual. Extraordinarily comfortable, quite like 4-AcO-DMT. Colors evident are blues and greens, with a yellow edge to them. Shulman and mary jane are added, to great effect.
3:10 - Very good closed-eye visuals indeed. Bright colors, very complex designs. I feel like I should maybe start painting because they're so beautiful. All the colors of the rainbow in spiralling, fractal patterns which changed at all times. It reminds me of the spiral fractal in MilkDrop (the visualization program for Winamp), the one that coils up into a spiral until it gets very tight, then uncoils and coils up in the opposite direction. All of the spaces in the top layer of the design are filled in with infinite recursive detail. It seemed to be a glimpse at some sort of world totally at random. Meaningless to me, but very complex. I do not want to open my eyes really, but I want to record this. I have a good feeling about this. I think I will paint shortly. Why can't I write, paint, close my eyes, and listen at the same time?!
I am torn between exploring my senses and the visions presented to me, or to try to turn my mind off. I realize that for the past few months or so I have been extremely good at banishing parts of my mind, anxiety, depression, fear, but I have gotten lazy at actually letting go of everything, becoming one.
3:22 - I wish I could record my thoughts right now without typing them, because there are so many. This stuff presents all the senses to great material, and pushes me to communicate it all, and of course there is no possible way I could come close. To make matters worse, the only way I have to record thoughts makes me open my eyes, which makes it less immersive. Help!
Loss of magic - lack of alien feeling, stimuli do not pull me inescapably in and create a magical situation of awe and meaning.
Thinking of wearing my body my whole life feeling like it won't matter. I realize the possibility of some sort of brain cancer or similar [from all this use of unresearched compounds], but I don't think it will matter, because by then our race will be lost or ascended. Or at least science will be able to cure it all (hopefully)!
The image of enlightenment - as a balloon being filled with hot air and ascending ever upwards. Drugs can be a tremendous boost in getting started and making full flight, but they'll cling on and slow you down little by little, until the point of stopping and dragging back down. Once you've past a certain point, you would do much better letting them go. I have reached that point, had a while ago, and I should let go, but haven't. This has made it so that my spiritual progress is stagnating, with advances here and there but nothing revolutionary.
3:42 - Had a bit of dark imagery which disturbed me, don't want to repeat. I was thinking of the need for governments, a way to somehow get vast hordes of people to accomplish anything as a whole.
Thinking about how oral admin has a certain specialness to it that I haven't yet experienced with other methods. Rectal comes quite close but oral hits closer to home so to speak.
A certain sound effect in the CD: Picturing being out in space and seeing/experiencing something so incomprehensibly vast it is experienced in sound also. This thought is so awe-inspiring that it brings me to my knees and sends full-body shivers through my spine.
This one is still a little magical, and I appreciate that. Imagining a lot of space and vast distance scales. Imagining saturation of the empty cosmos with infinite substance, every size scale being rendered effectively nothingness because of how incomprehensibly vast it all is. Imagining the dizzyingly vast distances of near-nothingness between heavenly bodies. The infinity contained in every particle we experience.
4:01 - Thoughts ended by horrible imagery once again. Great, great thoughts though. Some drugs seem to provide my mind with instant substance to digest and communicate, a muse if you will. You see this pattern in a lot of artists.
4:23 - Must remember to try to go with the experience and really experience it, and not be so worried about relaying it.
THOUGHTS FROM LATER ON (3 WEEKS OR SO LATER):
The above was written during the experience, but I've been in a very busy time in my life and I've had little to no time to finish this report. But I have wanted, very much, to provide a full account of 4-HO-MET, as it was given to me as a gift for this purpose.
I found this substance to be unique enough from the other 4-substituted tryptamines to consider it its own material. It was very lucid, first of all. Some tryptamines especially cause a lot of confusion, and some can be muddy, slow. 4-HO-MET was neither of these. My mind was quick and crystal-clear, but the beautiful flow of inspiration and revelation that psychedelics can put us in touch with was very much there.
In fact, the only negative part to the experience (aside from some brief imagery) was that I was frustrated that I couldn't record what was going on! I got about .0001% of what was going on onto the text file I was using to record these words. This substance provided me with more psychedelic inspiration, even while being pretty weak in terms of overall intensity, than any substance has in a long time. I wanted to release this inspiration in word, thought, and all forms of art, simultaneously.
Also, this substance was quite colorful, with more pastel tones than DMT, but in other ways quite similar to 4-HO-DMT visuals, but more n,n-DMT-like than pure psilocybin. I could make no sense of what I was seeing with closed eyes, but it moved and breathed along with the music and was incredibly intricate to an extent that amazed me. It seemed as if I was looking in on some other place in existence, some vast organic machine that was churning away tirelessly.
The overall vibe was very friendly. The body high reminded me highly of 4-AcO-DMT (not 4-HO-DMT so much), except it was a lower-frequence buzzing with much less of a loss of coordination and balance. It really was quite pleasurable.
So, overall, I loved this stuff, and I look forward to when I can have a more immersive experience. I feel as if this material has the potential to be very, very deep and psychedelic, perhaps up there with the greats.

Eternally curious, I just want to know how things work
I enjoy finding solution to problems through a combination of code and data.
All you have to do is find enter my email and write a quick Hello! try this one Facebook


The standard C library provides an API to perform name resolution: getaddrinfo(), formerly gethostbyname(). However, for DNS resolution as well as implementation in the libc, this interface is very impractical, to the point of being unusable. Here are a few reasons why.
I explained this point in a message to the Busybox mailing-list. You can read the post here. (There is a mistake in that post about /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/host.conf syntax; the following two messages in the thread correct that mistake.)
TLDR: depending on the machine configuration, it is possible that getaddrinfo() will not use DNS at all.
DNS resolution performs network I/O, which can take a non-negligible amount of time. getaddrinfo() is a blocking call and there is no way to specify a timeout to make it return early, so it may block indefinitely. This is bad design.
Also, network operations being asynchronous by nature, even a synchronous API should provide a way to perform several queries at once and return when one of them, or all of them, get an answer. getaddrinfo() does not even offer that.
Because it's generic, getaddrinfo() is cumbersome to use. The data structures are impractical, requiring the user to fill in information that is irrelevant to DNS resolution. The details of the network transport protocols are of no interest to the user who just wants answers to his DNS queries!
But at the same time, getaddrinfo() does not allow the user to provide the details he wants or refine his search. It's a very basic and monolithic entry point, with no DNS-specific knobs. For instance, only A and AAAA queries are supported, which is clearly insufficient.
getaddrinfo() is a toy interface. For any half-serious DNS work, another API must be used.
Most people who need a real DNS client library use BIND's libresolv. This page explains what is wrong with it, and what s6-dns tries to do better.


Chamber of Commerce launches Global Entrepreneurship Week
by Anicia Antoine, GIS(GIS) – In commemoration of Global Entrepeneurship Week, the Saint Lucia Chamber of Commerce hosted the Saint Lucia Youth Business Trust GEW Business Mixer.
The mixer enabled approximately 20 youth participants to display their products and services. Prior to the mixer, GEW partnered with RBC Royal Bank to host the 4th Annual Entrepreneurs Speed Networking Forum. The forum brought together approximately 70 young entrepreneurs and startups who got an opportunity to engage experts and professionals in field such as banking, law, human resource and business registration.
Agnella Joseph, Executive Director of the Junior Achievement Program at the Saint Lucia Chamber of Commerce said: “Our young people are hungry for these activities they really look forward to coming in and building networks, while the professionals really want to help our young startups succeed.”
Shane Spencer, Founder and Chief Investment Strategist at Islandmint Trading and Investment, also stressed the importance of networking.
The Youth Business Mixer took place on Nov. 20, at the conference room of the Coco Palm Hotel.

To select a set of pages, such as pages that are locked, pages whose commit emails you want subscribe to, or pages to combine into a blog, the wiki uses a PageSpec. This is an expression that matches a set of pages.
The simplest PageSpec is a simple list of pages. For example, this matches any of the three listed pages:
foo or bar or baz
More often you will want to match any pages that have a particular thing in
their name. You can do this using a glob pattern. "*
" stands for any part
of a page name, and "?
" for any single letter of a page name. So this
matches all pages about music, and any SubPages of the SandBox, but does
not match the SandBox itself:
*music* or SandBox/*
You can also prefix an item with "!
" to skip pages that match it. So to
match all pages except for Discussion pages and the SandBox:
* and !SandBox and !*/Discussion
Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
- "
glob(someglob)
" - matches pages and other files that match the given glob. Just writing the glob by itself is actually a shorthand for this function. - "
page(glob)
" - likeglob()
, but only matches pages, not other files - "
link(page)
" - matches only pages that link to a given page (or glob) - "
tagged(tag)
" - matches pages that are tagged or link to the given tag (or tags matched by a glob) - "
backlink(page)
" - matches only pages that a given page links to - "
creation_month(month)
" - matches only files created on the given month number - "
creation_day(mday)
" - or day of the month - "
creation_year(year)
" - or year - "
created_after(page)
" - matches only files created after the given page was created - "
created_before(page)
" - matches only files created before the given page was created - "
internal(glob)
" - likeglob()
, but matches even internal-use pages that globs do not usually match. - "
title(glob)
", "author(glob)
", "authorurl(glob)
", "license(glob)
", "copyright(glob)
", "guid(glob)
"- match pages that have the given metadata, matching the specified glob.
- "
user(username)
" - tests whether a modification is being made by a user with the specified username. If openid is enabled, an openid can also be put here. Glob patterns can be used in the username. For example, to match all openid users, useuser(*://*)
- "
admin()
" - tests whether a modification is being made by one of the wiki admins. - "
ip(address)
" - tests whether a modification is being made from the specified IP address. - "
comment(glob)
" - matches comments to a page matching the glob. - "
comment_pending(glob)
" - matches unmoderated, pending comments. - "
postcomment(glob)
" - matches only when comments are being posted to a page matching the specified glob
For example, to match all pages in a blog that link to the page about music and were written in 2005:
blog/* and link(music) and creation_year(2005)
Note the use of "and" in the above example, that means that only pages that match each of the three expressions match the whole. Use "and" when you want to combine expression like that; "or" when it's enough for a page to match one expression. Note that it doesn't make sense to say "index and SandBox", since no page can match both expressions.
More complex expressions can also be created, by using parentheses for grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either of two tags, use:
blog/* and (tagged(foo) or tagged(bar))
Note that page names in PageSpecs are matched against the absolute filenames of the pages in the wiki, so a pagespec "foo" used on page "a/b" will not match a page named "a/foo" or "a/b/foo". To match relative to the directory of the page containing the pagespec, you can use "./". For example, "./foo" on page "a/b" matches page "a/foo".
To indicate the name of the page the PageSpec is used in, you can
use a single dot. For example, link(.)
matches all the pages
linking to the page containing the PageSpec.


The writing lab is my attempt to put something back out into the world.
I'm not sure what the final delivery method will be, which is why it's a lab. It will likely change between topics and with time.
I do know some of my ideas yearn to be free for interpretation. They lust for crisitism and have an ambition to spark thought in other freethinking individuals.
I would like to do some long-form writing, possibly full-time. I have some drafts (mostly outlines) in progress. If you're someone who can help me finish one of these attempts please reach out at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>back to index

To determine the number of quantitative assays needed for a sample of data using pooled testing methods, which include mini-pooling (MP), MP with algorithm (MPA), and marker-assisted MPA (mMPA). To estimate the number of assays needed, the package also provides a tool to conduct Monte Carlo (MC) to simulate different orders in which the sample would be collected to form pools. Using MC avoids the dependence of the estimated number of assays on any specific ordering of the samples to form pools.

Foveation and (de)focus are two important visual factors in designing near eye displays. Foveation can reduce computational load by lowering display details towards the visual periphery, while focal cues can reduce vergence-accommodation conflict thereby lessening visual discomfort in using near eye displays. We performed two psychophysical experiments to investigate the relationship between foveation and focus cues. The first study measured blur discrimination sensitivity as a function of visual eccentricity, where we found discrimination thresholds significantly lower than previously reported. The second study measured depth discrimination threshold where we found a clear dependency on visual eccentricity. We discuss the study results and suggest further investigation.

I must say this drug should have never been invented....
I took a pill of X at about 8 oclock on a friday night (Golden Alien to be exact). After that the trip was good but me being the person I am nothign is ever good enough
At about 1030 I went to the bowling alley with some friends and I decided that I was going to take a pill of what I thought was just MDMA...Afterwards i learned differently...It was a white powder form called AMT.
10-20 minutes after swallowing the pill i felt sick, which is a common side effect, my friend had done a pill three hours earlier and had been throwing up and just finished when i took mine.
When I started to throw up I went out into the parking lot so that no one would get suspicious about me, 30 minutes later my friends came out and said they were leaving, and also noticed that i wasn't looking so good. But I said not to worry it was a side effect that would ware off.
At about 1130 we went to my friends house for me to stay the night where i became noticably worse and my friend decided he was going to take me to my mom becuase she is a RN.
By the time I got to my house I couldn't move yet alone open my eyes and it took me an hour and a half to walk from my friends car to my from step(about 50 feet). By then my mom decided to called the police for an amulence, right when that happened i fell over and started to have my first seisure....Overall I had 4 seisures.
After I had my seisures i stopped breathing for 5-10 minutes and they couldn't find a pulse on me...Right before they were to announce my death i started to breathe again. Right becaues I started to breathe again I had a heart attack. All in all i spent 8 days in the ICU unit of the Hospital. I was on an IV for 7 of those days and for 5 of those days I couldn't move or wake up.
 Thanks to this drug, which i thought was MDMA, I am now going through drug rehabilitation and I am on probation and take UAs twice a week. AMT is not a drug that should be used...Please if you ever run into someone with this drug, don't make the same mistake I did. I am very lucky to be alive and now I am paying dearly for it

Theme Setup
General notes and suggestions for customizing So Simple Theme.
Basic Setup
- Install Jekyll if you haven’t already.
- Fork the So Simple Theme repo
- Make it your own and customize, customize, customize.

├── index.html //homepage. lists 10 latest posts
└── tags.html //lists all posts sorted by tag
Customization
_config.yml
Most of the variables found here are used in the .html files found in _includes
if you need to add or remove anything. A good place to start would be to change the title, tagline, description, and url of your site. When working locally comment out url
1 or else you will get a bunch of broken links because they are absolute and prefixed with {{ site.url }}
in the various _includes
and _layouts
. Just remember to uncomment url
when building for deployment or pushing to gh-pages…
Disqus Comments
Create a Disqus account and change disqus_shortname
in _config.yml
to the Disqus shortname you just setup. To enable commenting on a post, add the following to its front matter:
comments: true
Owner/Author Information
Change your name, and avatar photo (200x200 pixels or larger), email, and social networking urls. If you want to link to an external image on Gravatar or something similiar you’ll need to edit the path in head.html
since it assumes it is located in /images
.
Including a link to your Google+ profile has the added benefit of displaying Google Authorship in Google search results if you’ve went ahead and applied for it.
Google Analytics and Webmaster Tools
Your Google Analytics ID goes here along with meta tags for Google Webmaster Tools and Bing Webmaster Tools site verification.
Top Navigation Links
Edit page/post titles and URLs to include in the site’s navigation. For external links add external: true
.
# sample top navigation links
links:
- title: About Page
url: /about
- title: Articles
url: /articles
- title: Other Page
url: /other-page
- title: External Link
url: http://mademistakes.com
external: true
Other Stuff
The rest is just your average Jekyll config settings. Nothing too crazy here…
_includes
For the most part you can leave these as is since the author/owner details are pulled from _config.yml
. That said you’ll probably want to customize the copyright stuff in footer.html
to your liking.
Adding Posts and Pages
There are two main content layouts: post.html
(for posts) and page.html
(for pages). Both have support for large feature images that span the full-width of the screen, and both are meant for text heavy blog posts (or articles).
Feature Images
A good rule of thumb is to keep feature images nice and wide so you don’t push the body text too far down. An image cropped around around 1024 x 256 pixels will keep file size down with an acceptable resolution for most devices. If you want to serve these images responsively I’d suggest looking at Picturefill or Adaptive Images.
The two layouts make the assumption that the feature images live in the images folder. To add a feature image to a post or page just include the filename in the front matter like so.
image:
feature: feature-image-filename.jpg
thumb: thumbnail-image.jpg #keep it square 200x200 px is good
If you want to apply attribution to a feature image use the following YAML front matter on posts or pages. Image credits appear directly below the feature image with a link back to the original source.
image:
feature: feature-image-filename.jpg
credit: Michael Rose #name of the person or site you want to credit
creditlink: http://mademistakes.com #url to their site or licensing
Categories
In the sample _posts
folder you may have noticed category: articles
in the front matter. I like keeping all posts grouped in the same folder. If you decide to rename or add categories you will need to modify the permalink in articles.md
along with the filename (if renaming).
For example. Say you want to group all your posts under blog/
instead of articles/
. In your post add category: blog
to the front matter, rename or duplicate articles.md
to blog.md
and change the permalink in that file to permalink: /blog/index.html
.
If done correctly /blog
should be a page listing all the site’s posts.
Post/Page Thumbnails for OG and Twitter Cards
Post and page thumbnails work the same way. These are used by Open Graph and Twitter Cards meta tags found in head.html
. If you don’t assign a thumbnail the image you assigned to site.owner.avatar
in `_config.yml will be used.
Here’s an example of what a tweet to your site could look like if you activate Twitter Cards and include all the metas in your post’s YAML.
Videos
Video embeds are responsive and scale with the width of the main content block with the help of FitVids.
Not sure if this only effects Kramdown or if it’s an issue with Markdown in general. But adding YouTube video embeds causes errors when building your Jekyll site. To fix add a space between the <iframe>
tags and remove allowfullscreen
. Example below:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PWf4WUoMXwg" frameborder="0"> </iframe>
Twitter Cards
Twitter cards make it possible to attach images and post summaries to Tweets that link to your content. Summary Card meta tags have been added to head.html
to support this, you just need to validate and apply your domain to turn it on.
Link Post Type
So Simple Theme now supports link posts, made famous by John Gruber. To activate just add link: http://url-you-want-linked
to the post’s YAML front matter and you’re done. Here’s an example of a link post if you need a visual.
Further Customization
To make things easier I use LESS to build So Simple Theme’s stylesheets. If you want to make some minor cosmetic alterations, take a look at variables.less
in assets/less/
. Changing some of the following variables can help make the theme your own.
// Typography
// --------------------------------------------------
@base-font: 'source-sans-pro', sans-serif;
@heading-font: @base-font;
@caption-font: @base-font;
@code-font: 'source-code-pro', monospace;
@alt-font: 'volkorn', serif;
@doc-font-size: 16;
@doc-line-height: 24;
// Colors
// --------------------------------------------------
@body-color : #ebebeb;
@text-color : #333;
@base-color : #343434;
@comp-color : spin(@base-color, 180);
@border-color : @base-color;
@white : #fff;
@black : #000;
@accent-color : @black;
@link-color : #343434;

Use this map to explore changes in congestion metrics between 2010 and 2016. The tool provides the ability to look at the effects of four factors that affect congestion: changes in network capacity, changes in population, changes in employment, and changes in TNCs.
Vehicle Hours of Delay (VHD) is a measure of the overall amount of excess time vehicles spend in congestion.
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) is a measure of the overall amount of motor vehicle travel, as measured in distance, that occurs on the network.
Speed is the average speed of vehicles on a given road segment during a given time period.
How to use this map
Select a congestion metric to display it on the map.

cgi_protocol - Module for supporting the Internet CGI protocol
When you want to create web applications, the CGI (common gateway interface) is one of the means to integrate your underlying programs with the web server. The protocol itself is, at least superficially, simple enough, but you need to take care of a number of details. It is these details that the cgi_protocol module seeks to take care of.
The global structure of a program that uses this module to communicate with the web server is basically:
Get the data from the web server, via cgi_begin
Handle these input data and write the corresponding HTML-file
Notify the web server the result is available and stop
The module defines the following data types:
A derived type holding a list of keyword-value pairs. Each value is of the type "dict_data" (see below). The routine cgi_begin fills such a structure to hold all form variables and their values.
The derived type whose contents is the string value of a particular form variable. It has one component: value, a string of 200 characters long (the actual length is set via the parameter "dict_value_length", so you can easily change it if this should prove necessary).
The module defines the following routines:
Routine to start the interaction with the web server. It automatically determines the protocol to be used and fills the "dictionary" dict with the values of the form variables for easy retrieval. The last parameter, luout, should be used to write the results to the web server.
Type of output that will be written. Should be one of the following parameters:
output_html - the output will be HTML text (the corresponding CGI header is written by this routine)
output_text - the output will be plain ASCII text (the corresponding CGI header is written by this routine)
output_no_header - it is not known yet what the output type will be - you can decide this on the basis of the form input. Use cgi_header to write the appropriate header later.
output_html_delayed, output_text_delayed - (not implemented yet) indicate that the computation will take a while, so that a simple message is written first.
Variable to hold alll the form variables and their values. You pass this variable to cgi_get() to retrieve these values. You can also store new variables and values, if this is useful (via the plain dictionary routines).
Note: Initialise it to "null()" before calling the routine.
LU-number for writing output to the web server. Always use this LU-number, not "*" to write the output.
Note: If "standard output" is used in the protocol, then this LU-number is set to 6 - this is not completely portable of course.
Write the CGI header information
Type of output that will be written. See above
Indicate to the server that we are done. The routine stops the program.
Note: If the run-time library produces extra output as a consequence of finishing the program, then you may want to use compile options to suppress that output. The g95 compiler for instance reports any memory that has not been freed. Such output may end up in your HTML output!
Report a fatal error in the form of HTML text
Message to be written
Name of a file to be used as a template. If not given, a simple page will be written instead. The string "MSG" in that template is replaced by the contents of the variable msg.
Get the value of the "sessionid" variable. This variable is already present in the form or it is set by this routine to a (more or less) unique value.
To use it as a session identifier (if your application requires a continued conversation with the user), make sure each subsequent HTML reply contains a line like:
<input type="hidden" name="sessionid" value="(contents of the string)">
The unique session ID
Get the value of a variable defined in the HTML form. If the variable is not actually present, the value is left unchanged.
If you want to check if a form variable by the name of varname actually exists, you can use the dict_has_key function, defined by the dictionary module.
The dictionary as returned originally by cgi_begin (you may want to add new values and variables yourself for easy reference).
The name of the variable to retrieve
The value (if the variable exists) - it can be a string, (single precision) real, integer or logical.
The current implementation assumes that the compiler supports the new intrinsic routine get_environment_variable. If this is not the case, then it is possible to mimick this routine (with a bit of trickery), but that has not been implemented yet in this version.
There is no support as yet for a delayed response. The idea is that the program sends a short note to the web server, to inform the user that the final result takes a few minutes (or longer) and that he/she can find it at such and such a location.
The cgi_protocol module uses the dictionary module underneath. For convenience the source code for that module is contained within the source directory for the cgi_protocol.

Harry Potter and the Magical Class
August 10, 2015
Okay, past self...let's talk about wizards. And classes. But mostly wizards. Well, wizards as classes. Or wizards as class instances. Don't worry, we'll get to that. Starting now.
class Wizard
def initialize(name)
@name = name
end
def lumos
p @name + " lights up the room."
end
end
Woah, did you see that? We basically just brought things (people) called Wizards into existence by creating a Wizard class! What, you missed it? Okay, so this part?
class Wizard
...
end
That the creation of a "real-world object" that we've named Wizard. In between those lines? That's where the magic happens. Everything that starts with def
("define") is a method. It's something all wizards can do. But we have to define their abilities for them. Let's look at the first method.
def initialize(name)
@name = name
end
The initialize method is one that all classes must have. This will run as soon as a new wizard is created. Once a wizard is born, it has to have a name. Aside from it being tradition for a child to have a name at birth, we know that it's required because the initialize method expects a (name)
parameter. The @
symbol makes the wizard's name accessbile from any other method in the Wizard class. It's called an instance variable.
def lumos
p @name + " lights up the room!"
end
The lumos method! As you can see, it uses the instance variable @name
. And when it's "called" (when we ask the wizard to use lumos), the wizards lights up the room, and the statement in the middle prints out! Let's see it in action!
the_boy_who_lived = Wizard.new("Harry Potter")
the_boy_who_lived.lumos
=> Harry Potter lights up the room!
What! You saw that, right? A wizard--The Boy Who Lived--is born. Straight away, he's given a name: Harry Potter. When we ask him to use the lumos method we defined in the Wizard class, he does! Excellent, Harry! Well done!
You know so much more now, past self! Just be careful with this new magic-like knowledge. As Professor Dumbledore once said, "The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with caution."

Developers will be introduced to new concepts with presentations and also live examples. With live coding we can enhance interactions between trainees and instructors and provide tailor-made examples to trainees’ queries.
By working in pairs developers have to explain to their partners what they do and how, rather than just doing it. Explaining is a great way to learn and to make sure concepts are clear. Pair programming also increases motivation and productivity.
Our experienced instructors will give developers individual feedback whilst developers are coding. Instructors will guide and mentor them to think of the best way to solve a given problem. Groups of 10 developers for 1 instructor on average.
We are strong believers in learning by doing, and so we want developers to code as much as possible, so they can make mistakes in a safe environment. You will have time to practise everything we explain during the training.
In order to participate in our intensive React training you need to know HTML, CSS and at least one programming language (like Java, .NET, PHP, JavaScript, etc) and web development.
An interview will take place to attend the training. Attendees need to have a minimum skill level so we can maximise the learning.
Do you want to learn React but you cannot afford our courses even with our scholarships? If you are not in a hurry to learn React, you can learn it for free in our community by attending our public workshops.

Kanye West ‘in service to God not fame and money’
Rapper Kanye West has told parishioners at Joel Osteen’s Houston megachurch that because of his recent spiritual awakening he is no longer in the service of fame and money but “in service to God.”
West spoke to a packed crowd of about 16,000 people during Lakewood Church’s 11am service on Sunday.
During a 20-minute interview on the church’s stage with Osteen, West talked about his recent conversion to Christianity and how God has been inspiring him.
The only superstar is Jesus
“I know that God has been calling me for a long time and the devil has been distracting me for a long time,” West said as he stood next to Osteen.
He said that at his lowest point, when he was taken to hospital in 2016 after a “mental breakdown”, God “was there with me, sending me visions, inspiring me”.
Last month, West released a Gospel-themed album, Jesus is King.
West was also scheduled to perform Sunday evening at Lakewood with his Sunday Service, a church-like concert featuring a choir.
Tickets for the free concert were distributed through Ticketmaster and sold out within minutes on Saturday, though some people have been reselling them for hundreds of dollars.
West has been travelling around the US holding his Sunday Service concerts since January, including at the Coachella festival, an outdoor shopping centre in Salt Lake City and at an Atlanta-area megachurch.
On Friday, he and his choir performed for inmates at the Harris County Jail in Houston.
During Sunday’s appearance, West touched on a variety of topics, including religion, the perils of fame and money, and going to church as a child.
He also talked about how he used to approach things, telling parishioners “all of that arrogance” that people had seen in him, he is “now using it for God”.
“The only superstar is Jesus,” West said as the crowd applauded loudly.
Lakewood Church, where more than 43,000 people attend services each week, has become the largest church in the US.
It holds services at the former Compaq Centre, which was once the home of the Houston Rockets.
Osteen’s weekly television programme is viewed by more than 13 million households in the US and millions more in more than 100 nations around the world.
The rapper’s wife, Kim Kardashian West, and their daughter North West joined him at the church on Sunday.


This repo is a fork of Avzag project for IU-S21-MAP course. During the course the team of @qazybi, @alkaitagi, @annwhoorma will develop the new Dictionary module for the application. The web site is written using VueJS framework in TypeScript language.
The goal of the project is to develop a cross-lingual dictionary with efficient search and rich data representation. The system should provide capability for searching offline, and in various grammatical forms and usage samples for the dictionary entries.
Our backlog can be found in the "Projects" -> "Dictionary" section.
After donwloading the repo for the first time yarn install
. To run the app locally yarn serve
.
You can find sprints-related information (including burndown chart) in this discussion.
You can find our backlog and sprints board here. Note that we have one board for all sprints, each task has a tag with a sprint number.
We've completed knowledge acquisition:
We've implemented cleaning and loading of DB with web-workers.
We've failed to set up documentation generationg with jsdoc because vue plugins for jsdoc don't support Vue 3.0.
We've optimized search.
We've moved search to another dbworker.
We've implemented parallel search.
We've managed workers' communication and lifecycle.
We've created a separate branch dev
for development which is merged to main after each sprint.
We've made little progress in generating documentation as no plugins worked. We've found another tool - tsdoc.
We haven't created any automated testing. Nevertheless, we've done some manual testing for features we added and for features we had before to make sure we didn't break anything. One of the criteria for a "passed test" is to have no errors in the console and correct output messages if any. We are planning to use jest and/or selenium to do auto-testing.

15.1 [state-augmentation-exercise] Show that any second-order Markov process can be rewritten as a first-order Markov process with an augmented set of state variables. Can this always be done parsimoniously, i.e., without increasing the number of parameters needed to specify the transition model?
15.2 [markov-convergence-exercise] In this exercise, we examine what happens to the probabilities in the umbrella world in the limit of long time sequences.
Suppose we observe an unending sequence of days on which the umbrella appears. Show that, as the days go by, the probability of rain on the current day increases monotonically toward a fixed point. Calculate this fixed point.
Now consider forecasting further and further into the future, given just the first two umbrella observations. First, compute the probability $P(r_{2+k}|u_1,u_2)$ for $k{{\,{=}\,}}1\ldots {20}$ and plot the results. You should see that the probability converges towards a fixed point. Prove that the exact value of this fixed point is 0.5.
15.3 [island-exercise] This exercise develops a space-efficient variant of the forward–backward algorithm described in Figure forward-backward-algorithm (page forward-backward-algorithm). We wish to compute ${\textbf{P}}(\textbf{X}_k|\textbf{e}_{1:t})$ for $k{{\,{=}\,}}1,\ldots ,t$. This will be done with a divide-and-conquer approach.
Suppose, for simplicity, that $t$ is odd, and let the halfway point be $h{{\,{=}\,}}(t+1)/2$. Show that ${\textbf{P}}(\textbf{X}_k|\textbf{e}_{1:t})$ can be computed for $k{{\,{=}\,}}1,\ldots ,h$ given just the initial forward message $\textbf{f}_{1:0}$, the backward message $\textbf{b}_{h+1:t}$, and the evidence $\textbf{e}_{1:h}$.
Show a similar result for the second half of the sequence.
Given the results of (a) and (b), a recursive divide-and-conquer algorithm can be constructed by first running forward along the sequence and then backward from the end, storing just the required messages at the middle and the ends. Then the algorithm is called on each half. Write out the algorithm in detail.
Compute the time and space complexity of the algorithm as a function of $t$, the length of the sequence. How does this change if we divide the input into more than two pieces?
15.4 [flawed-viterbi-exercise] On page flawed-viterbi-page, we outlined a flawed procedure for finding the most likely state sequence, given an observation sequence. The procedure involves finding the most likely state at each time step, using smoothing, and returning the sequence composed of these states. Show that, for some temporal probability models and observation sequences, this procedure returns an impossible state sequence (i.e., the posterior probability of the sequence is zero).
15.5 [hmm-likelihood-exercise] Equation (matrix-filtering-equation) describes the filtering process for the matrix formulation of HMMs. Give a similar equation for the calculation of likelihoods, which was described generically in Equation (forward-likelihood-equation).
15.6 Consider the vacuum worlds of Figure vacuum-maze-ch4-figure (perfect sensing) and Figure vacuum-maze-hmm2-figure (noisy sensing). Suppose that the robot receives an observation sequence such that, with perfect sensing, there is exactly one possible location it could be in. Is this location necessarily the most probable location under noisy sensing for sufficiently small noise probability $\epsilon$? Prove your claim or find a counterexample.
15.7 [hmm-robust-exercise] In Section hmm-localization-section, the prior distribution over locations is uniform and the transition model assumes an equal probability of moving to any neighboring square. What if those assumptions are wrong? Suppose that the initial location is actually chosen uniformly from the northwest quadrant of the room and the action actually tends to move southeast[hmm-robot-southeast-page]. Keeping the HMM model fixed, explore the effect on localization and path accuracy as the southeasterly tendency increases, for different values of $\epsilon$.
15.8 [roomba-viterbi-exercise] Consider a version of the vacuum robot (page vacuum-maze-hmm2-figure) that has the policy of going straight for as long as it can; only when it encounters an obstacle does it change to a new (randomly selected) heading. To model this robot, each state in the model consists of a (location, heading) pair. Implement this model and see how well the Viterbi algorithm can track a robot with this model. The robot’s policy is more constrained than the random-walk robot; does that mean that predictions of the most likely path are more accurate?
15.9 We have described three policies for the vacuum robot: (1) a uniform random walk, (2) a bias for wandering southeast, as described in Exercise hmm-robust-exercise, and (3) the policy described in Exercise roomba-viterbi-exercise. Suppose an observer is given the observation sequence from a vacuum robot, but is not sure which of the three policies the robot is following. What approach should the observer use to find the most likely path, given the observations? Implement the approach and test it. How much does the localization accuracy suffer, compared to the case in which the observer knows which policy the robot is following?
15.10 This exercise is concerned with filtering in an environment with no landmarks. Consider a vacuum robot in an empty room, represented by an $n \times m$ rectangular grid. The robot’s location is hidden; the only evidence available to the observer is a noisy location sensor that gives an approximation to the robot’s location. If the robot is at location $(x, y)$ then with probability .1 the sensor gives the correct location, with probability .05 each it reports one of the 8 locations immediately surrounding $(x, y)$, with probability .025 each it reports one of the 16 locations that surround those 8, and with the remaining probability of .1 it reports “no reading.” The robot’s policy is to pick a direction and follow it with probability .8 on each step; the robot switches to a randomly selected new heading with probability .2 (or with probability 1 if it encounters a wall). Implement this as an HMM and do filtering to track the robot. How accurately can we track the robot’s path?

Implement this as an HMM and do filtering to track the robot. How accurately can we track the robot’s path?
Figure [switching-kf-figure] A Bayesian network representation of a switching Kalman filter. The switching variable \(S_t\) is a discrete state variable whose value determines the transition model for the continuous state variables $\textbf{X}_t$. For any discrete state *i*, the transition model $\textbf{P}(\textbf{X}_{t+1}|\textbf{X}_t,S_t= i)$ is a linear Gaussian model, just as in a regular Kalman filter. The transition model for the discrete state, $\textbf{P}(S_{t+1}|S_t)$, can be thought of as a matrix, as in a hidden Markov model.15.12 [switching-kf-exercise] Often, we wish to monitor a continuous-state system whose behavior switches unpredictably among a set of $k$ distinct “modes.” For example, an aircraft trying to evade a missile can execute a series of distinct maneuvers that the missile may attempt to track. A Bayesian network representation of such a switching Kalman filter model is shown in Figure switching-kf-figure.
Suppose that the discrete state $S_t$ has $k$ possible values and that the prior continuous state estimate ${\textbf{P}}(\textbf{X}_0)$ is a multivariate Gaussian distribution. Show that the prediction ${\textbf{P}}(\textbf{X}_1)$ is a mixture of Gaussians—that is, a weighted sum of Gaussians such that the weights sum to 1.
Show that if the current continuous state estimate ${\textbf{P}}(\textbf{X}_t|\textbf{e}_{1:t})$ is a mixture of $m$ Gaussians, then in the general case the updated state estimate ${\textbf{P}}(\textbf{X}_{t+1}|\textbf{e}_{1:t+1})$ will be a mixture of $km$ Gaussians.
What aspect of the temporal process do the weights in the Gaussian mixture represent?
The results in (a) and (b) show that the representation of the posterior grows without limit even for switching Kalman filters, which are among the simplest hybrid dynamic models.
15.13 [kalman-update-exercise] Complete the missing step in the derivation of Equation (kalman-one-step-equation) on page kalman-one-step-equation, the first update step for the one-dimensional Kalman filter.
15.14 [kalman-variance-exercise] Let us examine the behavior of the variance update in Equation (kalman-univariate-equation) (page kalman-univariate-equation).
Plot the value of $\sigma_t^2$ as a function of $t$, given various values for $\sigma_x^2$ and $\sigma_z^2$.
Show that the update has a fixed point $\sigma^2$ such that $\sigma_t^2 \rightarrow \sigma^2$ as $t \rightarrow \infty$, and calculate the value of $\sigma^2$.
Give a qualitative explanation for what happens as $\sigma_x^2\rightarrow 0$ and as $\sigma_z^2\rightarrow 0$.
15.15 [sleep1-exercise] A professor wants to know if students are getting enough sleep. Each day, the professor observes whether the students sleep in class, and whether they have red eyes. The professor has the following domain theory:
The prior probability of getting enough sleep, with no observations, is 0.7.
The probability of getting enough sleep on night $t$ is 0.8 given that the student got enough sleep the previous night, and 0.3 if not.
The probability of having red eyes is 0.2 if the student got enough sleep, and 0.7 if not.
The probability of sleeping in class is 0.1 if the student got enough sleep, and 0.3 if not.
Formulate this information as a dynamic Bayesian network that the professor could use to filter or predict from a sequence of observations. Then reformulate it as a hidden Markov model that has only a single observation variable. Give the complete probability tables for the model.

15.17 For the DBN specified in Exercise sleep1-exercise and for the evidence values
$$ \textbf{e}_1 = not\space red\space eyes,\space not\space sleeping\space in\space class $$ $$ \textbf{e}_2 = red\space eyes,\space not\space sleeping\space in\space class $$ $$ \textbf{e}_3 = red\space eyes,\space sleeping\space in\space class $$
perform the following computations:
State estimation: Compute $P({EnoughSleep}_t | \textbf{e}_{1:t})$ for each of $t = 1,2,3$.
Smoothing: Compute $P({EnoughSleep}_t | \textbf{e}_{1:3})$ for each of $t = 1,2,3$.
Compare the filtered and smoothed probabilities for $t=1$ and $t=2$.
15.18 Suppose that a particular student shows up with red eyes and sleeps in class every day. Given the model described in Exercise sleep1-exercise, explain why the probability that the student had enough sleep the previous night converges to a fixed point rather than continuing to go down as we gather more days of evidence. What is the fixed point? Answer this both numerically (by computation) and analytically.
15.19 [battery-sequence-exercise] This exercise analyzes in more detail the persistent-failure model for the battery sensor in Figure battery-persistence-figure(a) (page battery-persistence-figure).
Figure battery-persistence-figure(b) stops at $t{{\,{=}\,}}{32}$. Describe qualitatively what should happen as $t\to\infty$ if the sensor continues to read 0.
Suppose that the external temperature affects the battery sensor in such a way that transient failures become more likely as temperature increases. Show how to augment the DBN structure in Figure battery-persistence-figure(a), and explain any required changes to the CPTs.
Given the new network structure, can battery readings be used by the robot to infer the current temperature?
15.20 [dbn-elimination-exercise] Consider applying the variable elimination algorithm to the umbrella DBN unrolled for three slices, where the query is ${\textbf{P}}(R_3|u_1,u_2,u_3)$. Show that the space complexity of the algorithm—the size of the largest factor—is the same, regardless of whether the rain variables are eliminated in forward or backward order.
