I have been a playstation plus subscriber for three months now and here is the list of all the games that I got for free
So that is a total of seven free games in three months. Not just any games mind you. Each and every title that I enumerated in the list is among the finest games on the vita. This is not even counting any other benefits like cloud saves, discounts and early access to demos. Impressive.
Even after experiencing the awesomeness of ps+ I was a bit incredulous. How can they possibly sustain it ? Surely the developers are not making anything off their games sales on ps+?  Impressive indeed.
What is even more heartening is the fact that small publishers have a big presence on ps+. For instance I wouldn't have bought virtues last reward ,a game by aksys, just because I have never played a visual novel type game before. But being free on ps+ I gave it a try and I am mighty impressed. Now I am thinking of buying 999 , a prequel of sorts to virtues last reward.
Oh and did I mention that one ps+ subscriber account allows you to get completely different free games on ps3 and vita. This means that if you own both consoles you can get 4 free games each month. Now I don't own a ps3 yet so I feel a bit left out. I think I am going to buy one soon just so I can play more free games.
Gasp ! Was this sony's plan all along?


Photography
Looking through the Lens
Cariluzen is the photography arm of Camen Designs. Photography is the art of looking through the lens and finding a new perspective on ordinary subject material.
My love of photography began when I placed my macro lens onto my camera and began to explore the world around me in a new perspective. The beauty of the tiniest details that normally would go unnoticed open up into this incredible visual art and beauty. Capturing the ordinary and making it appear interesting so the viewer will take a moment out of their busy day, is a challenging, but essential process. When we are bombarded with visual stimulation the competition for attention is extremely high.
Photography
A Continual Exploration
Exploring different perspectives through the lens of my camera allows me to gain greater insight to the world of design. Mother Nature is the master of design. Through her eyes, I have found the possibilities in design to be endless.
Throughout my photography and design work, one can see my journey of exploration. Capturing the art and elements of design that are found in natural and man made designs provide visual interest as one gains a greater appreciation for the world in which we reside.

My name is Henry and I have been programming for as long as I’ve been on the computer.
I am interested in developing mobile and web applications, particularly applications involving computer vision and augmented reality.
I’ve done internships and hackathons involving front-end web design and web engineering for social media websites.
Though I have experience in mobile and web applications, I have a whole lot more experience in game design and game programming.
I was 9 when I first laid my eyes on my first video game. I was at the dentist’s office and the dentist had a Nintendo 64 set up with Mario Kart 64 already in it. I remember clearly all the music and bright colors it had. Since then, I have always wanted to make games.
I am able to create pixel art, digital paintings, 3D models, textures, and chiptune music.
It’s the sum total of every expressable medium of all times, made interactive.

reply to Mathias' blog post about Systemantics - The Systems Bible
Some context
@MathiasVerraes just published a short review about a book called “Systemantics - The Systems Bible” by John Gall.
One of the quotes he mentioned was the following one:
Systems are seductive. They promise to do a hard job faster, better, and more easily than you could do it by yourself. But if you set up a System, you are likely to find your time and effort now being consumed in the care and feeding of the System itself. New Problems are created by its very presence. Once set up, it won’t Go Away; it Grows and Encroaches. It begins to do Strange and Wonderful Things and Breaks Down in Ways You Never Thought Possible. It Kicks Back, Gets In The Way and Opposes Its Own Proper Function. Your own perspective becomes distorted by being In The System. You become anxious and Push On It To Make It Work. Eventually you come to believe that the misbegotten product it so grudgingly delivers is What You Really Wanted all the time. At that point, Encroachment has become complete. You have become absorbed. You are now a Systems-person.
Here is what I learned recently
The whole quote refers to what Taleb baptized “Anti-fragile”: You begin with a very fragile system (it breaks all the time), so people add rules and fix things with feedback to make it more robust.
The more robust your system gets, the harder it will become to incorporate something that completely ignores expected behavior.
Taleb says that, given enough time and a system that gets more robust as time progresses, an unexpected thing should happen that will break the system.
The problem is that, by the time this “black swan” occurs, people will have grown so reliable on the system, that the impact of the failure will be huge (Consider the whole story with the Credit Default Swaps in the banking industries for a recent example.)
TL;DR: There is no such thing as “Too big to fail”
His solution is building systems that grown stronger upon unexpected behavior, and the only way to build such a system, is by continuously forcing unexpected behavior upon it, causing it to fail. A system that is used to failure, will less likely have stronger survival chances if a “Black swan” would occur.
One very known and understandable example is the Chaos monkey by NetFlix, another one could be genetic algorithms. What is typical about these systems, is that they are built out of small, independent units, and when these small parts fail, the whole system knows how to handle this.
Once again about Erlang/Elixir/the BEAM VM
The BEAM (Erlang/Elixir) VM is exactly built like this; apps are built out of small autonomous processes that just get restarted in case of failure (gross simplification, but you should get the picture).
In an app built for the BEAM VM, you start by defining your supervisor processes (i.e. process who will monitor the system and react accordingly), so this whole philosophy is an essential part of the whole BEAM VM….


Definitions¶
To perform get/list operation against your vRa infrastructure, you must first create definitions of your vRa objects. vra_sdk will then use your definition inside his factory
Definitions are basically python class that describe your object attributes.
Declare these object is the only cost you’ll have using this library. However it must usually be do only once.
To declare a model definition you must:
- Declare your new models in your configuration file in the business_models sections.
- Create the related python class
Config file¶
Here is an example of declaration pf a definition of a class name Vm in the module vra_vm, in the folder definitions/models
{
"business_models": {
"vm": {
"path": "definitions.models.vra_vm.Vm"
}
}
}
The key (in the example vm) is the key you’ll use later while requesting data against your vRa infrastructure (Warning: the key payload is reserved)
path is the path to your business models definitions (using the python syntax folder.module.class) The path is relative to the python execution folder. Relative path are accepted.
Definition creation¶
During the creation of one object, every kwargs used to create an object must be part of the class signature (it can have less but not more)
One example of a definition can be found in the data_examples folder
Let analyze this example:
from vra_sdk.models.vra_object import VraBaseObject
VraBaseObject is a very small class that will implement helpers for to_dict and to_json method
RESOURCE_TYPE = ['Virtual Machine']
This array of string must contains the name of your resource type. This types will be used to create vra Odata url filters You can specify multiple type for one object class
class Vm(VraBaseObject):
def __init__(self, raw_data=None, id=None, name=None ...
Here i define my vRa object. The attribute raw_data is required. Every other attributes are free but must be returned by your vRa infrastructure. This definitions also serves you as documentation. If needed you can also implement specific method/mechanism
Definition creation helpers¶
To know which attributes must set, you can use the vra_sdk.get_raw_definition method. This methods will return you a dict of prettify vRa data that you’ll just have to defined in your class attributes.
eg:
from pprint import pprint
from vra_sdk.vra_config import VraConfig
from vra_sdk.vra_authenticate import VraAuthenticate
from vra_sdk.vra_sdk import VraSdk
VraConfig('my_config_file.json')
auth_obj = VraAuthenticate('UAT').auth_login_password('my_login', 'my_password', 'my_domain')
my_vra_sdk = VraSdk(auth_obj, 'my_business_group')
# eg for VirtualMachine type
pprint(my_vra_sdk.get_raw_definition('name', 'my_vm_name', 'Virtual Machine'))
>>{'name':'my_vm_name',
>>'id':'my_vm_id',
>>'attr1':['aatr1'],
>>'attr2':{'attr2':'value'}
>>}
With that kind of very basic example, the class Vm in definitions/models/vra_vm.py (as defined in the configuration file above) should look like this:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from vra_sdk.models.vra_object import VraBaseObject
RESOURCE_TYPE = ['Virtual Machine']
class Vm(VraBaseObject):
def __init__(self, raw_data=None, name=None, id=None, attr1=None, attr2=None)
super().__init__()
self.raw_data=raw_data
self.name=None
self.id=None
self.attr1=attr1 or []
self.attr2=attr2 or {}

Strengthening Medicare
Cross-posed from healthcare.gov:
Don Berwick, M.D., Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Millions of Americans rely on Medicare for their health care security. But for years, skyrocketing health care costs have threatened the long-term financial health of the program. Many people with Medicare have worried about the long-term solvency of Medicare and whether or not there would be enough funds in the program in the future to pay for care for them and their children.
Thanks to some important new features of the Affordable Care Act, Americans can rest assured that Medicare will continue to be there – better than ever – for our seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Today, my agency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, released a new report, Affordable Care Act Update: Implementing Medicare Costs Savings, demonstrating just how much – and how fast – important provisions of the Affordable Care Act will improve the financial health of Medicare. In 2010 and 2011 alone, these provisions will save Medicare an estimated $8 billion and almost $418 billion by 2019. These savings will protect the solvency of the Medicare Trust Fund through 2027, extending its life by 12 years.
These new savings will come largely as a result of reducing excessive payments to private health insurance companies, promoting better quality of care, and cutting Medicare waste and fraud through powerful new tools. These tools keep bad actors out of the Medicare program in order to prevent fraud in the first place and enhanced technologies to help law enforcement stop fraud quickly when it does occur.
And there are many important investments in support of innovation for clinicians and health care organizations who are trying every day, as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is, to make health care better for patients and more affordable at the same time.
There are other actions in the new law that strengthen Medicare by improving the health of those who receive benefits. These include improving outreach and coordination efforts after a patient is discharged from the hospital to prevent unnecessary hospital readmissions and reducing preventable surgical errors.
Many of the programs in the Affordable Care Act are designed to ensure that people with Medicare continue to have access to quality, affordable care. This year, many people with Medicare who have fallen into the Medicare donut hole are receiving a one-time $250 rebate check to help with their drug costs, making sure that financial concerns do not interrupt needed treatment agreed on by a patient and a doctor.
And next year, all people with Medicare will have access to annual wellness visits and other preventive services with no cost-sharing, giving millions of Americans an opportunity to get potentially life-saving screenings. Over time, new reforms will also encourage better coordinated care.
Together, this adds up to a good deal for people with Medicare and taxpayers. If you or someone you love is on Medicare, make sure to check out sections like here and here on www.healthcare.gov that talk more about how the Affordable Care Act affects you.

The party in Berlin came to an end all too soon. I had a blast there and so did everyone else it seemed. Such a fantastic atmosphere and group of people. If you weren’t able to make it, you can peruse the presentation slides or the pictures. Thanks to everyone who made it possible and to all who was able to come.


Module : time
Module Overview
This module provides implementations related to time, date, time zones, and durations.
The module has two main types as Time and TimeZone. The Time
type represents a time associated with a given time zone. It has time
and zone
as its attributes. The TimeZone
type represents the time zone associated with a given time. It has id
and offset
as its attributes. An id
can be one of the following:
- If
id
equals 'Z', the result is UTC. - If
id
equals 'GMT', 'UTC' or 'UT', it is equivalent to UTC. - If
id
starts with '+' or '-', the ID is parsed as an offset. The offset can be specified in one of the following ways: +h, +hh, +hh:mm, -hh:mm, +hhmm, -hhmm, +hh:mm:ss, -hh:mm:ss, +hhmmss, -hhmmss - Also,
id
can be a region-based zone ID. The format is '{area}/{city}' e.g., "America/Panama". The zones are based on IANA Time Zone Database (TZDB) supplied data.
For information on the operations, which you can perform with this module, see the below Functions. For an example on the usage of the operations, see the Time Example.
Patterns for formatting and parsing
The below patterns can be used to generate the formatter string when using the format()

Testing considered harmful
Maybe Dijkstra isn't going that far, but it's an interesting argument
against testing. He would certainly have bristled at the notion that
"once your tests pass your code is done," even if tests still serve a
certain purpose. Sometimes I feel I should reread my software more
often. If it's not worth rereading, then it's too long and should be
cut. If it is too good to need refinement, then reading it will simply
make me feel happy even if I don't change it. But by rereading, I may
feel more certain of the correctness of the program, as well as the
conceptual integrity. Unit tests are good, but unit tests do not make
code *beautiful*. Another interesting point he makes: programs are not
correct, computations are correct. That is, it is the *running* of the
program that must be correct, in the fullness of its environment within
and beyond the computer it runs on. Indeed, this is why I believe the
Turing Machine is not applicable to real programming, because no useful
programs can be reduced to a Turing Machine. Useful programs are useful
only because they produce useful computations, and without I/O a Turing
Machine is fundamentally unable to be useful.

"Unit tests are good, but unit tests do not make code *beautiful*"
I completely agree, but this misses a common approach to the use of
unit tests. Kent Beck advocates a cycle for any given test that
positively does *not* say that you are done when your tests pass: in
fact you're only past the second phase. He recommends that (1) you
write a failing test, (2) you get the test to pass and then,
crucially, (3) you refactor. (I think Kent Beck characterises it as
'remove duplication'.)
(3) can take much longer than (1) and (2) put together, not least
because this stage can end up with rewriting quite a lot of code not
related to the test if opportunities for improved structure emerge.
This is the opportunity to make the code beautiful. The unit test
gives you a better chance of not breaking the code during this
process.


Hoty procurement services can take over the procurement responsibilities of any telecom clients and will perform the procurement activities for every phase of the project life cycle:
Hoty to outsource contractors / expertise for a short and/or long-term contracts. Out-sourcing is of 3 Types:

Thanks for downloading the 422nd episode of The Ivy Envy Podcast. On this episode, we talk about the Cubs short series with the Angels. Most of the conversation revolves around John Lackey and his great outing on Tuesday.
After ignoring it for a few episodes, we decided to finally weigh in on the Tommy La Stella situation since there's actual details to the story now.
We also answer a handful of listener questions and Andy shares a Rube Waddell story with us.


This is the first project developed for CS 424.
The app shows the distribution of the population around the world and in the US states.
Demographic data about the states can be filtered accordingly to the gender and easly compared among the states.
Finally the user can choose an event in the history and see which percentage of the population was conscious of that event.
In the bottom left of the application there is the control panel. Controls share a purple color that convey the idea that they belong to the same class and thus all the elements in purple can be controlled. In the next section each control is explained in detail.
Gender Control:
You can filter the data that is displayed accordingly to the gender: masculine, feminine or their sum.
This can be achived by intuitive controls in the bottom left of the app.
Bin size control:
the default view of the chart have a 10-sized bin, basically population is diveded accordingly to their age
0-9, 10-19, 20-29 etc. The user can dig into more precise data by decreasing the bin size with the plus control positioned in the bottom left of the application or if usuful can increase the bin size clicking the plus icon.
At any time the bin size is reported inside the circle.
Compare mode:
the app allows to types of visualization: Absolute or Comparison.
In the Absolute mode each graph has its own scale and this is particulary useful to go deeper in the visualization of a particular distribution.
The Comparison mode rescale all the bar charts setting them on the same scale so that the user can compare the distribution of the popolation among the states at a glance.
Timeline:
the control panel host a timeline of meaningful events in the last 2 centuries and allows the user to select one among them. Once a year is selected the bar chart hides all the people that were not conscious of that event and thus do not remember it right now. By clicking on the X on the bottom right it is possible to deselect all the events and a text ask the user to select an event.
In the top left of the application there are the map. This represent a precious help for selecting which country to display. The user can display the world map or the US map and choose which state to visualize data for.
In the case the user do not know where is a state he can pick up a US or World state from the state list.
Notice that once the state is select the user visualize which is the state position in the map.
When a state is selected two graph are shown: a bar chart and a pie chart.
The panel gives several information: the state selected, the distribution of ages accordingly to the bin size and most interestingly the population percentage that rembers the selected event.
In this case only 61% of Italians remember the fall of the berlin wall (previously selected), moreover the bar chart conveys the idea that only people over 30 years old do remember the event.
Data
The data used is taken from US population and from World Countries Population.
Then I wrote several R scripts in order to pre-process data and create a standardized format between the different datasets. I'm very gratedul to my Data Mining course since I could manipulate data without getting lost.
The format that I used has the following rows:
stateName, year, sex, [ages from 0 to 84].
All the data used in the app is about 2014 and the sex is divided as follows:
0: no sex distinction
1: only masculine
2: only feminine
This format has allowed me to manipulate data quite easly with d3.js and filter it accordingly to user preferences.
Source Code
The code is available at this repo.
Just in case you want to download it right away there's a zip at the bottom of this section;)
Run it
Oh don't forget to install WAMP, LAMP or anything like that to set up your local server.
Once you're done with it just copy the app folder in the web server folder access the url localhost:8888/index.html on your browser and voila.
In case you want something even faster you can quickly set-up a web server with python.
To run the application on your local machine just unpack the archive in a folder.
Go in that folder with a terminal and type:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8888
In order to to so you must have python installed. Python Download Then just open a web browser (an updated version of Chrome is highly recommended) and visit the url localhost:8888/index.html
The population of US is generally quite constant between 0 and 60 anyway there's some jump around 68 which is common in the overall distribution of population of US and in each US state (here just Colorado and Illinois).
Middle east is very insteresting because the pattern seems to be a very skewed curve that diminshes as age increase.
This may be due to the fact that there's a lot of poor people that do not survive untill elderly age.
Anyway Iran has a strange hump that doesn't follow the general pattern but I still have no clear understanding
of the reason.
What is strange is that Iran seems to follow the same distribution of South Africa. Although very geographically far this may lead some insigth about some common traits of the demography of the two regions.
Features to add
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.-Confucius-
During the last weeks my collegues have been presenting their own version of the application.
I've some reflection about what could be improved in my app and here is a list of things that I would change:
Enlarge graphs:
I've seen a really good app in which graphs could be enlarged to fit the whole screen size, this could be really helpful when digging in to find some particular trend in one praticular graph.
Percentages on pie chart:
Pie chart are hard to read especially when the slices are very thin like in this application.
It could be really helpful if when the bin size of the ages increases to 10 or up the percentages would shown up in the slices so that more information is given to the user.

MY FELLOW AMERICANS
A film review by Adam Joyce
Copyright 1997 Adam Joyce
Please visit Movie Mania at http://www.home.aone.net.au/joyce/adamframe.htm
When a scandal is about to be revealed with the potential to force the U.S. President from his position, a devious plan is put into action whereby two ex-Presidents will take the blame, and for this to happen they must be killed. It could be a serious political thriller, but it's not. Especially not when you bring Jack Lemmon and James Garner into the picture. Jack Lemmon and James Garner play those two ex-Presidents, one Republican, the other Democrat. It should come as no surprise that they despise one another, with a passion. It is from this animosity that 'My Fellow Americans' draws its laughs, because it is after all a comedy. It had been intended by President Haney (Dan Akroyd) that ex-Presidents Russell Kramer (Jack Lemmon) and Matt Douglas (James Garner) be sent to their deaths in a tragic helicopter accident. Unfortunately for President Haney, Kramer and Douglas demand to be set down on the ground when they discover that their destination is different from that which they had been told, and the unknowing pilots set them down moments before the helicopter explodes. So commences ex-Presidents Kramer's and Douglas's journey across the heartland of the United States, constantly in comical conflict, but relying on each other to escape from the President's hit-men. As the dubious duo travel cross-country in an attempt to find evidence to prove the White House scandal, they come across all kinds of people, the people who voted for them. This leads to one of the film's sentimental moments where they realise what they didn't do while in office, and are consequently brought back to reality after years of the good life . Despite the serious sounding nature of this realisation, the film is very much a comedy, and features scenes such as the ex-Presidents catching a lift with the 'Dykes on Bikes' and travelling with your all-American family in the run-down station wagon. Throughout the entire film Kramer and Douglas are hunted down by the President's hit-men. In this respect 'My Fellow Americans' becomes an action/comedy, swinging from one genre to the other. Comedy should be drawn from the action scenes, but it seems that the director, Peter Segal, has chosen to make some of the action scenes exempt from any comedy. This leaves one wondering, at times, whether the film was in fact meant to be a comedy at all. However, Lemmon and Garner work well together, with competent performances from others - although Lauren Bacall barely puts in a word as Lemmon's wife. The film is entertaining, with plenty of punch lines and derogatory comments like, "Let's stop talking, we're about to bond--that'll make me vomit.". But in the end 'My Fellow Americans' is a soft-edged comedy, that is worth a few laughs now but which will never have a permanent place in our minds like 'Grumpy Old Men'.

Cyclone ‘Bulbul’ gets severe, may intensify further but possible pathway unknown
by bdnews24.comThe cyclone “Bulbul” has gathered more strength to intensify into a Severe Cyclonic Storm over the Bay of Bengal.
It is likely to intensify further and move in a north-northwesterly direction, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department warned in a special bulletin on Thursday night.
It was situated around 700 to 800 kilometres off the maritime ports at midnight.
Gusty or squally wind may affect the maritime ports, North Bay and coastal areas under the peripheral influence of the storm, the Met Office said.
The sea will remain very rough near the centre of the storm with maximum sustained wind speed of up to 110 kilometres per hour.
The Met Office raised the warning level at the maritime ports to Local Cautionary Signal No. 3 from 2.
All fishing boats and trawlers over North Bay have been advised to take shelter immediately and remain in shelter till further notice.
The Met Office will raise the warning level to No. 4 on Friday morning if the cyclone gathers more strength, Senior Meteorologist Abdul Mannan told bdnews24.com.
It is likely to reach the North Bay on Sunday, he said.
“The coastal areas are likely to experience light rains as water vapour level has risen due to the storm,” he added.
Meteorologists said rains are also likely in India’s Odisha and West Bengal coasts under the influence of the storm.
They could not confirm its pathway yet.
Brewed as tropical cyclone “Matmo”, it made landfall on Vietnam by the end of October before weakening to a low. It gathered strength again and changed direction later to become cyclone “Bulbul” on Wednesday night.
The Indian Meteorological Office said it is likely to turn into a Very Severe Cyclonic Storm by Friday afternoon with maximum sustained wind speed of 145kmph. It will weaken and may become a Severe Cyclonic Storm on Sunday before turning into a Cyclonic Storm on Monday.
It is very likely to re-curve northeastwards and cross West Bengal-Bangladesh coasts between Sagar Islands in West Bengal and Khepupara in Bangladesh on Sunday afternoon, the Indian Met Office said.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Centre said the storm may enter Bangladesh on Sunday morning.
Abdul Mannan said the Bangladesh Met Office will raise the warning signal further after watching the situation on Saturday night as they are not certain about its possible pathway.

[Jay and Sherry] share a his-and-hers workshop, turning out pens elegant, practical and quirky in woods and fine materials to sell at select shops and art fairs. Shop for their work at Artisans in the Loop in University City and at the Nook in Ladue.
Shopping at The Nook Gifts & Gatherings benefits St. Louis Children's Hospital! The Ladue-based shop that sells apparel, home goods, unique girls and MIssouri-made crafts donated almost $6,000 in its first year.
Buying a special gift for someone (or just something fun for yourself!) brings a rush of warm feelings, and it’s even more satisfying when your purchase helps someone in need. Proprietors of The Nook, a new clothing, gift and accessory store in Ladue, are banking on that idea—and so far it’s working, according to founder Mary Lemkemeier. She and business partner Laura Goodloe debuted the volunteer-operated shop in February, and all profits from its sales benefit St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
The Nook is more than just a new Ladue storefront – it’s a place that combines shopping and educational classes with community and goodwill. Ladue News spoke with Mary Lemkemeier, founder of The Nook, about what visitors can expect to find in store and how The Nook has something for everyone.
Tim Ezell was live in the heart of Ladue at the retail store and gathering space.

The outbreak of disease-causing agents is continuously threatening public health worldwide, particularly the viruses. Millions of people die due to the effects of illness resulting from virus infection, and over the years more aggressive epidemics are arising; the recent example being the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Host and pathogen are the life entities involved in such infectious diseases. The relationship between these two entities are crucial to the outcomes of infection and, therefore, host-pathogen interactions (HPI) have been studied to better understand the whole infection progression. HPIs are involved in every step of disease: from the initial pathogen transmission, through the activation of the pathogenic mechanism used to overcome (or hijack) host cell defenses, and to the pathogen becoming established and massively reproduce within the host system; all these processes involve the interaction of host and pathogen proteins. Identification of these protein-protein interactions (PPI) could help to unravel the disease pathways, provide methods to improve resistance, and ultimately accelerate the development of drugs and other therapeutics.
Knowing about PPIs is important for drug target discovery because we can enhance or disrupt these interactions to relieve diseases. To find about PPIs, there are high and low throughput methods, which are costly and there is a tradeoff between scalability and reliability due to high-throughput methods being able to output a lot of interactions, but many can be false positives. On the other hand, low-throughput methods are very reliable, but can detect a small number of interactions. This is where computational methods come in handy to predict if a pair of proteins interact, which could save a lot of resources and time.
Malivhu lets the user input two protein sequences: the virus and the host proteins. In the background, it works in four phases: (I) it predicts whether the input sequence is an ssRNA(-) protein or not; (II) it predicts whether the protein comes from a coronavirus or not; (III) it predicts whether the protein comes from MERS or SARS or other species; and (IV) runs a BLAST for all SARS proteins to find if they belong to SARS-CoV or SARS-CoV-2, and then it predicts whether both proteins interact or not.


3.2.1. Index page
The index page is the main page the user will see. It
will provide navigation functionalities and will allow
the user to see all the files associated with his
account, choose to upload a new file and see how much
space he/she has left in total.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Navigation Bar
The Navigation Bar is the UI element providing
navigation functionality to the user. It includes an
image with the project's logo, which if clicked
redirects to the Index page, and more links to the
right, to all the other HTML pages of the website.
The responsiveness is provided through the flexbox
containers and media queries for small displays. If
the display is narrower than 678 pixels, the
elements in the right will not be visible anymore.
In their place, a menu icon will appear, and by
clicking it the links to the other pages will be
displayed in a drop menu fashion.
This element appears on all pages, for a more
standardized navigation system, except for the
Report page, since that one must comply with the
Scholarly HTML format.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Main View
The main view is the other grid element of the body.
This is where files and folders will be visible,
allowing the user to download them or confirm that
his uploads did succeed.
The elements inside this container will be loaded
through JavaScript, through AJAX calls using the
fetch API, and will be displayed using a simple
float left. This way, regardless of the display
width, all files will be visible, since it is
scrollable.
3.2.2. Login/Register Page
This page provides the functionality for user login
and registration. Both the "Login" and "Register"
functionalities will be on the same page. The
presentation of the page consist of a form with two
text box inputs: username and password and two
submit buttons: login and register. If a submit
button was clicked, a validation of the input data,
username and password, will be executed firstly:
username needs to have minimum 6 and maximum 16
alphabetic and numeric characters and password needs
to have minimum 8 and maximum 32 alphabetic and
numeric characters.
Based on what button was clicked, the corresponding
action will be done. In case of a "Login" button,
the user will request to login as a user with
username and password inserted in the input fields
of the login form, respectively a user registration
will be requested if the pressed button is
"Register".
A successful response from the server will redirect
the user to the "Home" Page, otherwise the user will
be restricted to remain in the "Login/Register"
page.
3.2.3. Account Page
The "Account" page offers information regarding the
current logged in user: username, the registration
date, his/her linked cloud applications and a status
bar for each one showing the amount of space already
in use.
This page also allows users to edit or delete their
account and also add a new link to another cloud
storage application.
3.2.4. About Page
The "About" page will be divided into "sections",
which will provide the user a comprehensive
description about us and our product.
<IP_ADDRESS>. Who we are?

This benchmark aims at developing a program that controls a Pioneer robot to follow a wall.
The robot has exactly 1 minute to go as far as possible, while trying to stay at a 50cm distance from the wall.
The benchmark will first compute an "ideal" path. The first segment of this path is a direct line going from the starting position of the robot to the closest point which is 50cm away from the wall. The path then continues parallel to the wall, at a distance of exactly 50cm.
The performance of your robot will be computed based on the average distance to this "ideal" path. Note that the robot is always facing the wall in its starting position, so the first part will always be to go forward until the wall is 50cm away.
Additionally, if the robot tries to take a shortcut, it will get a penalty for each skipped segment. At any given time, the segment of the path that is closest to the robot is considered as the current segment, and any segment prior to the current segment that has not been visited will be considered as skipped.
The controller (in Python) is based on the value received by the sonar sensors of the robot.
The basic controller is extremely simplistic and only uses 2 of the sensors available on the robot. Because of this, and because of how sonar sensors work (see below), it is very bad at handling sharp turns, and will basically only work as long as the wall is almost straight.
A first simple improvement would be to consider the orientation of the robot with respect to the wall, for example if you are too far from the wall, but the robot is already heading towards the wall, you don't need to turn any further. In order to do this you can use the fact that the robot has 2 sensors on each side, and use the difference between the two to estimate the orientation.
In a second time, you need to consider the values of the front sensors, otherwise the robot won't be able to detect a sharper angle in the wall, and will most likely bump into it.
It could also be useful to detect when the robot has hit the wall, and make the robot go backward when it happens.
The sensors of the Pioneer 3-DX have the following configuration:
There is an angle of 20° between adjacent sensors, except for the side sensors (so0, so7, so8 and so15), which have a 40° angle. The maximum range of the sensors is 5m.
Because the sensors of the Pioneer 3-DX are sonars, they can only detect an obstacle within their angle of incidence, which is 22.5° in this case. In other words, sonar rays which lie outside the reflexion cone of aperture 45° are not picked up by the sonar which causes the obstacle to be "invisible" to this particular sensor.

IF LOOKS COULD KILL A film review by Frank Maloney Copyright 1991 Frank Maloney
IF LOOKS COULD KILL, starring Richard Grieco, will be a very amusing $2 rental in the video store. At $3.50 matinee rates, it still provided some honest laughs but I cannot recommend it to anyone who can wait a while (a short while judging from the three other people in the auditorium at the Friday 5 PM showing) to see this personable, hunky guy with great pecs and good definition in the tummy spend a five-minute scene in rather abbreviated jockey shorts. Obviously, I couldn't.
The movie, which hardly merits a serious review, is a parody of secret-agent flicks and especially of GOLDFINGER, my favorite Bond movie. Like the old Punch cartoon of the country vicar being served bad eggs by his bishop: "Parts are excellent." And indeed, the movie romps along powered by the idea of a wise-guy going to France with his French-teacher-from-Hell and the French Club to make up his French class; he is immediately mistaken for Secret Agent Man who in the first of many coincidences has assumed the same name as the Grieco character. The bad guys include Linda Hunt, having a lot of fun with a bad German accent and a gold whip that does double duty as her necklace.
The scene where Grieco tours the weapons lab and get his shiny new gadgets including a Bondian sports car is pretty rich. Unfortunately, the movie slows down occasionally to take itself a little seriously, to introduce the love element, and to make room for a couple of MTV videos. The woman who plays the French teacher is rather wonderful as is the madman intent on stealing all the gold in Europe, Hunt's boss (?).
Also unfortunate is the skimpy special effects budget and enough editing errors to fuel r.a.m. for a year.
Look for it next month.

I work as a civil engineer and deal with flooding, the coast, and other water issues. I value fairness, and making the best use of the knowledge and skills we have in society.
I’m at Dev Academy because I want to improve my human skills and learn about software-development. I’d like to bring these skills back into my current career though I have an open mind about where I can go. The world is changing fast and old-shool professions like civil engineering need to change with it. I am hoping I can change with it and help it emerge better than before.


PhoneGap
Developing for the iPhone
Nitobi
Jesse Macfadyen
Shazron Abdullah
Andrew Lunny
What's good about the iPhone?
- Hugely Popular Platform
- No compatibility problems (other than performance)*
- OS upgrades: next to ubiquitous
- Awesome Browser / WebView (very close to desktop Safari)
- Massive developer community, third-party support (mostly PhoneGap compatible)
- Some excellent tools (XCode, Instruments)
- iPod Touch -- cheapest first-rate mobile platform
* iPad changes this
What's bad about the iPhone?
- Have to get a certificate
- Provisioning and code-signing
- The App Review Process
- Objective-C
The Apple Path to iPhone Development
- Get an iPhone + a Mac
- Sign up with Apple
- Install XCode
- Learn Objective-C ( is this a big deal? yeah, I think so! )
- Provision your phone
- Build Your App
- Submit to Apple, and wait ...
The PhoneGap Path to iPhone Development
| Get an iPhone + a Mac | Yes |
| Sign up with Apple | Yep |
| Install XCode | Same |
| Learn Objective-C | NO! |
| Provision your phone | uh-huh |
| Build Your App | Yeah |
| Submit to Apple, and wait ... | of course ... |
So how does this work?
It all starts with UIWebView
stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString
DeviceInfo = {"version":"3.0","uuid":"B486A392-2B43-551F-88E3-773FC454FD82","name":"iPhone Simulator","platform":"iPhone Simulator","gap":"0.8.0"};
stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString can call js methods too!
navigator.geolocation.setLocation
So how does Javascript call Objective-C?
On the iPhone, js sets the location.
document.location = "gap://Location.start/null";
- a) the gap protocol
- b) the command handler
- c) the operation
- d) any arguments
Note: the calls from JS->ObjC are Asynchronous, there is NO return value
All PhoneGap js calls are accessed through the navigator object
- navigator.geolocation : defines GPS functionality
- navigator.accelerometer : defines device position functionality
- navigator.notification : defines Alert + Prompt popup functionality + activityStart + vibrate
Where is PhoneGap.js?
This used to be an issue, thankfully the EDGE version addresses it.
There will be only one phonegap.js file and it will be built when you build your app.
How to setup for Javascript debugging
Desktop Safari is very close to Mobile Safari ( close but not exactly )
Things to keep in mind:
The iPhone simulator runs about 1000 times smoother and faster than the device, ALWAYS test on the device
Don't depend on timeouts firing on time! Use callbacks.
onDeviceReady
The new way of being sure that phonegap is ready to receive your commands.
DOM event based, so you add a listener to the document.
Let's see the code!
Bonus
- Calling Objective-C and CocoaTouch code
- Native Views
- Using external libraries
- PhoneGap plug-ins

Colorado firefighters rescue raccoon from sticky situation
by WABCCOLORADO -- Firefighters helped a curious critter escape from a very sticky situation earlier this week in Colorado.

The crew tweeted video of the distraught animal, as he clung to branches with one paw and tried to remove the stubborn jar with the other.
The video has more than 12,000 views on Twitter.
Eventually, the crew was able to get the raccoon down and free him from the container.
They even tweeted a cute follow-up picture, to let everyone know he was safe and sound.


This post is a revision of the original experiment I posted two weeks ago. The main purpose of this is to add more elements of Universal Design for Learning and to elaborate more on the process used to help students build their own understanding of speed based on experimentation.
This activity will have a larger scope than the immediate physics relationship. Students will work with their biology (and health?) teachers to study human physiological reactions to activity. Things like heart rate, muscle fatigue, breathing patterns, etc can all be studied. Students will be asked to take factors like exercise patterns, sleep habits, and nutrition and evaluate their effect on physical tasks. The bicycle can then be used after a period of experimentation to take new data and draw conclusions.
To address the process of encoding and decoding graphs, I’ll be adding an activity from David Wees, a math teacher who often does experiments with web tools being used to teach through inquiry and games. Not long before I wrote the original experiment, David shared an interactive graphing game that I referenced, but didn’t pay much attention to. The player is asked to move a stickman in such a way that a real-time graph matches a pre-determined line. The graph is labeled and clearly shows the effect of any action in the game. Students can use this to form explanations of the components of graphs and how they relate to one another.
This leads into the bicycle hooked to the Raspberry Pi. The parameters are similar (distance over time) but we’re adding the physical act of pedaling as well as the physics component (speed) as outlined.
I have to admit, this re-write is challenging. The components of UDL all seem to focus on choice, multiple means of acquisition and sharing, and multiple opportunities for learning. Rewriting an activity to include more components of UDL by adding parameters seems to be counterproductive.
That being said, my original plan did not do a whole lot to support the task of reading and creating graphs, and I think the addition of David’s stickman game will address that problem. I also think this was more an exercise in writing clearly than it was about incorporating principles of UDL. My original intent was to have simple prompts with multiple points for experimentation, assessment and revision, and I think that has been maintained (for the most part) in this update. Perhaps the wider picture is something I envision frequently, but communicate rarely.
My teaching has always focused on openness…BYOD, open Internet assessments, open-ended assignments…I think all of these things are supported by the UDL framework and are not things I articulate in new lessons. Science is a story…exploration and experimentation help us navigate that narrative. This entire activity is designed to have students do something they’re familiar with and apply it to a new idea.
Standards and goals for activities are good guides for learning, but too much of a focus on how to get students down that path robs them of authentic opportunities to experiment and defend their ideas. Rather than approaching UDL as a checklist for lesson design, we need to look beyond the components and find ways to promote the ideas they represent. Do we need a specific line in a plan that says, “Students will create an online resource for [fill in the blank]?” Or, should we allow them to come to us with the ideas for sharing and support them in that goal?
The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not ‘Eureka!’ but ‘That’s funny…’
Isaac Asimov’s words hit home (thanks David Grossman for sharing!) I would argue that we replace “science” with “learning.” It doesn’t happen by having a section in a lesson plan for “provoking sustaining effort or persistence,” and achieving that mindset takes a serious mental shift for the teacher (and student) to achieve.
All this to say: we need to focus on providing the means to support multiple opportunities for students to learn in their own way. I don’t want to worry about what each student “prefers.” I’d rather be open enough so that each can go his or her own way and be successful.
