I used to be a regular junior high kid. Never did drugs until my freshman year. Tried pot, drank some, then started smoking a LOT of pot until it took over my life and I had to quit it. I had to find a substance that wouldn't show up on UA's. Somehow I found out about DXM in early march. I tried it, loved it, didn't throw up. I started doing it every night. Increased doses each time, until I was in the hospital with a bad liver. Psych. ward, outpatient rehab. Stayed clean for a bit, then started doing it again. It led to a 2 week binge of non stop use which led to inpatient rehab.
I became very interested in being sober, tried my hardest to be clean. Over achieved, basically worked the program. After 6 weeks, I was out. I relapsed the next day with a small dose. Life sucked, so I kept using every day, 3-5 times a day, lying about my use. Lasted for 3 weeks, until I started dramamine. DXM and dramamine make a good mix. So I got kicked out of my house and kept dexing, everyday, much more than I did before rehab.
All my friends say that I should lay off the pills, and stick to pot and alcohol, but I still keep using.   Empty bottles all over my hometown, in my backpack, at work, it's insane. DXM's grip is too tight.

The HTML5 history API is a
standardized way to manipulate the browser history via script.
Features
Traveling through history
Changing the address bar content
Adding and modifying history entries
Triggering the browser navigation methods
The HTML5 history API is a standardized way to manipulate the
browser history via script. Before the history API, developers had
to use hash URLs to change the current URL without reloading the
single-page. Now this API gives us some useful features such
as: traveling through history, changing the address bar
conten, adding and modifying history entries, triggering the
browser navigation methods.
Access the History API
The History API is available on the
window object, so you can call it
like this: window.history
or just history .
The history API is available from the window.history object. You
can simply open the console of your browser and type window.history
(or just history) which will show you the object and its
properties.
Navigate the history
Let’s start with the simplest things you can do with the history
API. You can go back to the previous page using history.back.
This goes to the previous entry in the session history. You can
forward to the next page using history.forward. This is exactly just
like clicking on the browser's back and forward buttons. Also the go()
method lets you navigate back or forward multiple levels deep. To
know how many entries there are in the history, you can call
history.length.
Add an entry to the history
history.pushState(state, title, url);
const stateObj = { some: 'data' }
history.pushState(stateObj, '', '/new')
Parameters
State - object which is associated with the new history entry
created by pushState()
Title - currently ignores by major browsers
URL - the new history entry's URL
It's time to adding and modifying history entries. Using
pushState method you can create a new history entry
programmatically. Calling this won’t change the content of the
page, and does not cause any browser action like changing
window.location would. This method takes three parameters: a
state object, a title and a URL. The first is an object which can
contain anything (there is a size limit however, and the object
needs to be serializable). The second parameter is currently
unused by major browsers, so you generally pass an empty string.
The third parameter is a URL associated to the new state. Note that
the URL needs to belong to the same origin domain of the current
URL.
Modify history entries
replaceState()
allows you to edit the current history state
history.pushState({}, '', '/posts')
const state = { post: 'first' }
history.pushState(state, '', '/post/first')
const state = { post: 'second' }
history.replaceState(state, '', '/post/second')
history.back()
The browser goes straight to
/posts , since
/post/first was replaced by
/post/second .
While pushState() lets you add a new state to the history,
replaceState() allows you to edit the current history state. If you
now call history.back() the browser goes straight to /posts,
since entry named "first" was replaced by "second" entry.
Access the current history entry state
history.state
Returns the current state object.
History.state property returns the current state object.
Thus far, we have covered the pushState and
replaceState events in order to control the browser history, but
browser do not know what it should do when user clicks the browser
"back" and "forward" buttons.
The onpopstate event
This event is called on window every time the active history entry
changes
window.onpopstate = event => {
console.log(event.state)
}
That's what the popstate event is gonna do for us. This code
for example will log the new state object every time you call
history.back(), history.forward() or history.go().
When your page loads, it might have a null state object. This can
happen, if the page sets a state object (using pushState() or
replaceState()) and then the user restarts their browser. When your
page reloads, the page will receive an onload event, but no popstate
event. However, if you read the history.state property, you'll get
back the state object.
THE WHY
The HTML5 history API gives us the ability to tell the browser to
change the URL and only load half of the page.
We've covered the history API, its properties and methods
before, but why should we use them? After all, a simple link can
navigate to a new URL; that’s the way the web has worked for 20
years. And it will continue to work that way. But at the same time,
browsers have always had a fundamental limitation: if you change the
URL, even through script, it triggers a roundtrip to the remote web
server and a full page refresh. This takes time and resources, and
it seems especially wasteful when you are navigating to a page that
is substantially similar to the current page. Everything on the new
page gets downloaded, even the parts that are exactly the same as
the current page. But the history API gives us the ability to
tell the browser to change the URL and download only the part we
need.
This is the markup for a simple page

one

two

three

four

This is the markup for a simple page: the unordered list contains
four items with links.
It will look like this after adding some styles
It will look like this after adding some styles.Let's simulate
moving forward in browser history.
Faked "moving forvard"
Add the "active" class to current element , change the URL in the browser location bar , prevent the default page refresh (due to tag ).
const items = [...document.getElementsByClassName("menu__item")];
const menu = document.querySelector(".menu");
menu.addEventListener("click", e => {
const name = e.target.dataset.name;
selectItem(name);
history.pushState({ name }, null, `/${name}`);
e.preventDefault();
});
function selectItem(name) {
items.forEach(item => {
item.classList.toggle("menu__item_selected",
item.dataset.name === name);
});
}
So, we need to add a click handler to our menu element, the
function of adding an active class to the current element,
update the browser location bar, and prevent the default page
refresh, cause we work with the link tags. But we still need to
talk about what happens when the user presses the back button.
Popstate event? Right!
Faked "moving backward"
window.addEventListener('popstate', e => {
if (e.state !== null) {
selectItem(e.state.name);
} else selectItem(null);
});
OR
history.replaceState({ name: null }, null, './')
window.addEventListener('popstate', e => {
selectItem(e.state.name);
});
Before that, we bound a state object to each of history entries, now we call
the necessary function with the properties of this object. Do you
remember a null value of the state object? That's why we're
checking him out. We can also replace our default state.
It's done!
It's done! The state object could have something less primitive,
like some page content, image links, or Ajax request links. It
would work the same way.
Browser Support
Okay, not bad. But what about browser support? Wow, this green
line is a good sign. Even IE can work with that. Well, the
history API has created a great impact on how our simple web
application works. It make it easy to create efficient single-page
application. It's a really nice API, isn't it? That's all I wanted
to say. Thanks very much!
Thank you for attention!


Checking Wikipedia...
Henry Alfred Kissinger, an American politician, diplomat, and consultant, was born in 1923 and fled Nazi Germany with his family in 1938. Richard Nixon appointed him as National Security Advisor in 1969 and then as Secretary of State in 1973.
He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, the same year that he supported US involvement in the Chilean military coup, in which 3,000 Chileans died and 28,000 were arrested and tortured. He is partially or wholly responsible for other violent US policies:
His influence on US foreign policy, which continues to this day, has spurred the US to untold violence around the world.
Why did you start this website?
Much like the US foreign policy establishment, we're doing it for the money.>
Is this really necessary?
Much like the trillions of dollars the US spends on wars of choice, it is definitely not.
Isn't it really sloppy to cite Wikipedia?
Much like the foreign policy "experts" on whom American journalists rely, we love using questionable conventional wisdom to address complex topics.
Do you WANT Henry Kissinger to die?
We believe in the value of human life, and no matter what crimes he committed, Henry Kissinger is a human being. We do not wish for his death. We're just wondering why it hasn't happened yet.

No, you may not.


The GREB (Generic Resource Entity Builder) API module enables you to provide a simple, flexible JSON data producing application using the standard HstComponent code.
(By courtesy of Ferran Pestaña, licensed by CC BY-SA 2.0)
Suppose you simply want to produce content data in JSON output for any REST API clients (single page applicaton or server-side application) quickly in a very flexible way without having to be concerned about considering standards such as JAX-RS or any other restricitions. Also, suppose you or your colleages already know how to implement standard HstComponents and retrieve content there and so you simply want to implement even RESTful services using the same technology, HstComponents.
In this case, GREB (Generic Resource Entity Builder) API can be a good technical choice.
Please see Install page to install this addon module onto your project. Also see the Release Notes to find the proper version for your project.
GREB API is simply a new built-in HST-2 Pipeline to do almost the same things as the default HST-2 Site Pipeline, except of the following:
Here's an architectural view.
Bascially, you need to configure a separate mount (mapped to "hst:root/grebapi", for example) for GREB API, under your default site pipeline (mapped to "hst:root", for example). So the GREB API mount (e.g, "hst:root/grebapi") will inherit everything from the parent mount (e.g, "hst:root"), including sitemap, pages, components, etc. So, the GREB API mount and its Pipeline will use the same configuration and the same HstComponents.
When the GREB API mount is requested by a REST Client (e.g, http://localhost:8080/site/grebapi/a/b/c.html), the delivery tier will invoke the same sitemap item, page and components, not templates. After invoking #doBeforeRender(HstRequest, HstResponse) on each HstComponent, it collects all the contributed resource entity objects from each HstComponent and aggregate the objects into a JSON output to the REST Client.
You can contribute any objects (POJOs or any JSON-serializable objects by Jackson v2 library) in HstComponent code or any other code involved in HST-2 request processing.
If you don't contribute any objects in your code (e.g, HstComponents), the GREB API pipeline will produce an empty JSON object by default:
{ }
To contribute an object, you should get com.onehippo.cms7.genericresource.entitybuilder.GenericResourceEntityBuilder instance first:
GenericResourceEntityBuilder builder = GenericResourceEntityBuilder.get(RequestContextProvider.get());
You can contribute any scalar values on specific paths like the folloiwng:
builder.addResourceEntity("title", document.getTitle()); builder.addResourceEntity("timestamp", System.currentTimeMillis());
As two objects were contributed with paths, then the JSON output will look like this:
{ "title": "Hello, World!", "timestamp":<PHONE_NUMBER>770 }
You can contribute any POJO or any Java objects that can be serialized to JSON by using Jackson v2 library:
builder.addResourceEntity("document", document);
Now, the JSON output will look like this:
{ "title": "Hello, World!", "timestamp":<PHONE_NUMBER>770, "document": { "title": "The medusa news", "introduction": "This is a news article.", // ... } }
If a Java object is contributed, then GREB API simply serialize it into JSON using Jackson v2 library. Therefore, you should make sure that your Java objects to contribute are serializable in Jackson v2 library. Consider using Jackson annotations if you want to exclude some properties or control the serializations.
You can wrap your resource entity objects in either java.util.Collection (such as java.util.List or java.util.Set) or java.util.Map like the following example:
List<Object> references = new LinkedList<>(); references.add(referenceDoc1); references.add(referenceDoc2); builder.addResourceEntity("references", references); Map<String, Object> images = new LinkedHashMap<>(); images.put("portrait", portrait); images.put("landscape", landscape); builder.addResourceEntity("images", images);
Now, the JSON output will look like this:
{ "title": "Hello, World!", "timestamp":<PHONE_NUMBER>770, "document": { "title": "The medusa news", "introduction": "This is a news article.", // ... }, "references": [ { "title": "Referenced Document 1", // ... }, { "title": "Referenced Document 2", // ... } ], "images": { "portrait": { // SNIP }, "landscape": { // SNIP } } }
You can nest objects as deep as you want through container (either java.util.Collection or java.util.Map) objects.
You can also retrieve a resource entity object whether it is a scalar value, object value, collection or map value:
Object value = builder.getResourceEntity(name); Collection<Object> collectionValue = builder.getCollectionResourceEntity(name); Map<Object> mapValue = builder.getMapResourceEntity(name);
GREB API takes care of JSON serialization on built-in HST-2 objects such as:
Therefore, you can contribute objects in those categories directly without having to wrap it to new POJO objects.
GREB API support customizing JSON serialization on specific beans by adding custom Jackson Mixins for the specific bean types.
In order to register your custom Jackson Mixin classes (or interfaces) with Jackson annotations, override the following beans in an Spring Beans assembly overriding XML file under site/components/src/resources/META-INF/hst-assembly/overrides/addon/com/onehippo/cms7/genericresource/entitybuilder/ folder (e.g, my-custom-mixins.xml) like the following example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.1.xsd"> <bean id="genericResourceEntityJacksonObjectMapperExtraMixins" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MapFactoryBean"> <property name="sourceMap"> <map> <!-- Adding Jackson Mixin class, MyBeanMixin, for MyBean class type. --> <entry key="org.example.beans.MyBean" value="org.example.beans.jackson.MyBeanMixin" /> <!-- SNIP --> </map> </property> </bean> </beans>
This also allows you to override the built-in default Jackson Mixins for built-in types (such as HippoGalleryImageSetBean, HippoGalleryImageBean, etc.) by your custom Jacksion Mixins.

Hi Peter,
looks interesting ;-) The basic insight that all search engines use is that
they do not manipulate the variables directly: instead they use the
branchings together with branching descriptions as a problem-independent
device to do so. A branching description contains space-independent
information about which variable and about how that variable is to be
constrained when used with a commit operation on a space: the commit
operation finds the appropriate branching and the branching then uses the
branching description to constraint the right variable accordingly.
What you could do to make the search distributed is to cook up an operation
for a branching description that turns it into something that can be send
over the wire: should not be to hard, the typical description contains just
two integers. Then in order to hand out a node, you just start from the same
basic space and add all branching descriptions corresponding to the path
leading to the node you want to explore (this is recomputation and looking
how recomputation is done in the search engines should give you an idea).
Much of the way search is done has been inherited from Mozart (apart from
batch recomputation). If you want to see an architecture for distributed
parallel search based on spaces, you might want to check:

Subject: [gecode-users] Newbie: space/solution copying & dynamically
addedconstraints
Hello,
I'm currently running Gecode 1.2.2 on debian Sarge and am using its built-in
BAB engine to solve a constraint optimization problem.
As I want to parallelize the search procedure (by using concurrent
distributed components) but haven't discovered such a solution in gecode
(does it exist already?), I have been entertaining myself by implementing a
prototype of such a concurrent distributed search procedure using MPICH2, in
which the concurrent components perform load distribution by dynamically
splitting up their assigned search space.
As it's just a prototype, I don't mind it being slightly naive. Therefore, I
use the Gecode-provided BAB search engine in each of the components. When
some component has finished its search, it will request work from a busy
component. Work consists of a description of variables to be bound, so the
querying component will start a new search in the problem space constrained
by these bound variables. These variable bindings can easily be passed on
using MPI messages.
My main problem, however, lies with controlling the BAB search engine
dynamically. Consider this (naive) approach:
BAB<solution> engine(...);
do {
solution* currentSolution = engine.next()
currentSolution->getWorkToDistribute();
} while ...
The goal of the getWorkToDistribute call is to split the remaining search
space to be explored by engine.next() in two parts by a binary split on some
variable: one part will be assigned to a worker process asking for work (and
thus, the description of this part of the search space will be distributed
using MPI calls), and the remainder will be explored by this process's
engine.next().
My problem lies with the latter. Assuming that we have split the search
space on variable X, and that X=1 will be explored by the remote process, I
now want to "dynamically" constrain this process's search space by adding "X
<> 1".
Is there a way to achieve this without recreating the whole problem, adding
the extra constraint "X <> 1" and starting a new search engine (probably
revisiting lots of nodes)?
I'm asking because I'm really not sure how and when the search engine copies
solution objects. It seems that naively "adding" a constraint to the
currentSolution object does not have the effect I want.
Then I thought of the "constrain" function called by the BAB engine, used to
dynamically constrain the cost function. However, I'm not sure when it is
called, nor what the relationship is between the argument passed to this
function and previous values of currentSolution in the loop. That is, I
tried currentSolution->setSomeMemberData hoping that currentSolution would
be passed as argument to the constrain() function of another node, but upon
examination in the constrain() function the envisioned member data does not
have said member data. (My idea was to read this member data - representing
the constraint to be added "X <> 1"
- from the argument to constrain() : Space *s - and add this constraint to
"this" just like reading the value of the cost function from Space s and
then adding a constraint requiring the cost to be less)
Can anyone enlighten me and tell me where my ideas are just plain wrong or
what I should try instead?
As an additional question: in the above code snippet, useful things (aside
from searching, that is) can only be performed when engine.next() returns.
Are there Pause/Resume objects or operators that will interrupt the search
procedure more timely but still allow the search engine to continue
afterwards?
Thanks
Pieter

About Chidren Camp
Whilst each of our camps is unique in its own way, we maintain several core values they all share - regardless of location, activity or age group. It's what makes them Scripture Union Holidays.
God
At the root all that we offer is our passion to give young people the opportunity to explore the Bible, learn more about God and discover his relevance to them today. So every holiday will devote part of each day to looking at the Bible together. How this is done will vary depending on the age group and facilities available. But we ensure all teaching is engaging and relevant and gives the opportunity to respond in an appropriate way.
Fun
Holidays are all about fun! And fun can be defined in many different ways. That's why our camps are a mixture of games, craft, sports and excursions. Attendees are welcome to do activities they already love or challenge themselves with new ones. Of course, there will be lots of opportunities to make new friends. Common to all of them is the Fun-Factor!

Almost to Napa, but not yet. The train pulled in and I detrained. I will admit, I know of nothing about Martinez, California except for two things: It’s a stop on the way to Jack London Square (AKA Oakland) and thus San Francisco and it’s got a lot of knarly looking industrial plants spewing stuff into the air. Poisonous, I’ve no idea, but I know the one’s just west of the city (or town?) are. I enjoyed the ghost fleet at mooring, the sun rising from the east, and the smooth roll of the train.
However I have a 2 hour layover (is it a layover, transfer, or something else in train-speak-ese?). So I decided I was going to learn a thing or three about Martinez, California. I walked a few blocks into town and found a Starbucks. I felt like such a filthy tourist walking into a Starbucks in Martinez, hoping they’ve got the local joint somewhere nearby, I gave in and enjoyed the Seattle sugar drink anyway.
There I noticed three police officers, somewhat jubilant about whatever day they were going to have. I chatted with them a bit and it seemed there was some easy work they’d be doing at a fair or festival type event. Another few people sat down and enjoyed the fact I’d brought my standard 3 prong adapter along for the ride. Ya see, shockingly, there wasn’t enough outlets for the phones, laptops, and other devices everybody wanted plugged in. So the strip was a welcome addition.
I sat down and dorked out on some Terraform templates and started reading up on some blog entries about Terraform Modules. I was pleasantly surprised to find solid material on page 2 of the google results (where I look every other year or so). I found blog entries by @serialseb, Tom, and Bart Spaans (links below in references). Those along with a host of other materials I started to get more of a picture around how, what, where, when, and why Terraform Modules. Stay tuned in a subsequent blog entry I’ll have thoughts, hacks, and other collections of things on what I learned and hacked together.
Word Absurdities Over Triple Grande Caramel Macchiatos
I penned this blog entry while sipping at my triple grande caramel macchiato. All the while pondering the absurdity of how English is constructed to identify such a thing as triple grande caramel macchiato and for the millionth time thought about the desecration in re-defining the word macchiato that Starbucks committed. A macchiato is not this strange sugared perverse creation that they serve, but whatever, it tastes good. It’s just a disingenuous and deceitful disrespect, combined with adding confusion to the naive, to taint a word that has existed for over a century which means something entirely different.
But whatever, it’s almost time for the final 45 minute ride to Napa.
I boarded the bus. The driver greeted me, scanned my ticket, and we discussed shortly the logistics of getting to Napa from Martinez. A timely departure and barely any traffic had me arriving on time.
Since the Soscol Transit Center was located just a few blocks from downtown Napa Valley I decided to spend lunch there and take a walk around.
Oh Lunch!
Lunch was awesome. Caprese with heirloom tomatoes, actual fresh mozzarella and a thick, sweet, and rich balsamic reduction. Simply, caprese done right! I followed that with some gnocchi and a glass of white wine. It was time after all, being in Napa Valley, that I had some wine.
I hung out downtown for a short time after lunch and then boarded the Vine Route 11 Bus from downtown Napa out to the Meritage. I arrived and walked up to the front desk and checked in. Lo and behold there stood Evan, a most fortuitous timing indeed.
Synching Up
We immediately introduced ourselves to some of the great staff handling HashiConf and plotted to meet and synch up our talk. The deck of course being basically done (and available here) but we needed to insure some of the surprises that we have are ready. Yes, that’s right, there are surprises we’ll have at the talk itself. So it’s worth tuning in if you’re working with HashiCorp’s Terraform and Google Cloud Platform.
For now, I bid adieu, I have conference activities to participate in.

In transforming a year-long WhatsApp conversation into a book, 'A Family Chat' interrogates the methods, obstacles, and concessions involved in wresting ownership of personal data from untrusted and uncooperative corporate databases and transforming it into a form compatible with the printed book. In doing so, the project encounters tensions between communication and archiving – with the online chat continuing unabated in the meantime – and publishing – with chat subjects becoming custodians of their own data, controlling the extent of distribution by mutual consent. The data moves from the encrypted space of WhatsApp to Lulu, as a pre-press and print service only, with participants retaining control over distribution, and to GitHub, as an access-controlled digital repository. A public video documents the form of the book.


Can you help reunite old soldier with his beret and gloves?
The black British Army cap and leather gloves were found at a Paisley bus stop
by David CampbellPolice are trying to reunite a veteran with his beret after it was found at Paisley bus stop on Remembrance Sunday.
The black British Army cap and leather gloves were found near the Shell garage in the town's Barrhead Road.
A member of the public handed the items in to Paisley Mill Street police office following the town's poignant Remembrance parade.
Inspector Tracy Harkins, from Paisley's community policing team, said: "The beret will have very significant meaning to its owner so we are very keen to make sure it is returned.
"If it yours please call police on 101 or attend Paisley Mill Street Station.
"Please do not be offended if we ask you to provide proof that the beret belongs to you. We simply want to make sure it is returned to its rightful owner."


The Price of Glory 1 and 1/2 Stars (Outr of 4) Reviewed by Mac VerStandig<EMAIL_ADDRESS>http://www.moviereviews.org March 31, 2000
---A copy of this review can be found at http://www.moviereviews.org/price_of_glory,_the.htm ---
Jimmy Smits' new film, The Price of Glory, a mawkish, overly poignant look at family and boxing, is more like something a network would produce as their Sunday night movie than a studio would put into theatres; such tired clichés and poor dialogue have no business being on the silver screen.
Disclosure: I have never seen NYPD Blue, the show that made Jimmy Smits a star. Perhaps he is a talented actor after all, but you certainly wouldn't know that from seeing this movie. As a former boxer who rose too fast and fell too quick, Smits doesn't look like an athlete. As a father grooming his three sons for boxing glory with a blistering temper, Smits doesn't seem mean enough. And as the ruthless manager of the aforementioned three talents, Smits doesn't seem determined enough. Actually, it is rare that Smits seems like anything other than an actor reciting lines while simultaneously cursing his agent in the back of his mind. But that could well be the fault of the script.
The screenplay for Price of Glory allows such pathetic exchanges as the following scene between the Smits character and his wife:
`I love that boy!' `More than anything?' `Yeah.' `More than boxing?' Dramatic pause
All that is missing is a few weeping violins and a father/son conflict. Oops! There is a father/son conflict. Actually, there are three of them. Would you believe me if I told you one involved marriage and a fight with the future in-laws? Rushmore's Max Fisher would be proud.
Fortunately, there is some good to justify this being a decent Sunday night movie. The boxing footage is amazing. Much like the recent Play it the Bone, the filmmakers here seem to have put all their efforts into making the in-the-ring scenes memorable. They succeeded as every blow is exhilarating and every jab exciting, but there is too much out-of-the-ring action to justify solely judging the movie on punches and flying sweat.
Ironically, it seems that the only parts of the film properly edited are the complex boxing sequences. Numerous moments that cut back and forth between two camera angles have significant continuity flaws. There is no better example than a mid-film date scene where characters' positions seem to jump around even though they don't seem to be moving. The only excuse for such flaws is someone believing they were blocking the scenes with a more forgiving TV screen in mind.
The film's finale, although certainly no Rocky, is mediocre. But mediocrity projects an appearance of brilliance when following such poor work as the film's beginning. Most of the boxing footage finds itself in these last few moments and the dialogue is limited enough that audiences might actually exit the theatre with a cheaply placed grin on their face. This doesn't make up for the clichés, script or Jimmy Smits however. But then again, nothing could.

Vitamin A has three active forms (retinal, retinol and retinoic acid) and a storage form (retinyl ester):
Retinyl ester ß à Retinol ß à Retinal à Retinoic acid
Circulating retinol is primarily bound to retinol-binding protein (RBP), and can enter and leave the liver several times per day in a process known as retinol recycling, which acts to relate the amount of retinol in circulation and protects cells from the damaging effects of free retinol or retinoic acid. Retinol bound to a cellular RBP (CRBP or CRBP-II) can be esterified by the enzyme lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LCAT), the resulting retinyl ester being stored primarily in liver stellate cells. LCAT provides a readily retrievable storage form of vitamin A, as well as regulating its availability for other pathways.
Vitamin A is required throughout life and participates in numerous cellular activities involved in reproduction, embryonic development, vision, growth, cellular differentiation and proliferation, tissue maintenance and lipid metabolism. The three active forms of vitamin A each serve different overlapping functions. For instance, retinal is required for rhodopsin formation and vision, while retinoic acid is the principal hormonal metabolite required for proper growth and differentiation of epithelial cells. Some of the major roles of vitamin A are discussed below:
Vitamin A is required for the formation of the photoreceptor rhodopsin, which is a complex of retinal and the vision protein opsin, where retinal functions as the chromophore. Rhodopsins are found in animals and green algae where they act as regulators of light-activated photochannels, and in archaea where they act as light-driven ion pumps. In animals, the light-sensitive pigment rhodopsin occurs embedded in the membrane of rod cells in the retina at the back of the eye. When light passes through the lens, it is sensed in the retina by both rod cells (black and white vision) and cone cells (colour vision). In rod cells, the exposure of rhodopsin to light causes 11-cis-retinal to be released from opsin, resulting in a conformational change in the photoreceptor that activates the G-protein transducin. Transducin activation leads to the closure of the sodium channel in the membrane and the hyperpolarisation of the rod cell, which propagates a nerve impulse to the brain that is perceived as light. Rod cells are especially important for night vision as they can detect very small amounts of light. Inadequate amounts of retinol can led to Night Blindness and corneal malformations, therefore eating carrots does let you see better in the dark!
Retinol and retinoic acid are important signalling molecules in vertebrates that act to alter the transcriptional activation or repression of numerous genes. Several of these retinoid-controlled genes are involved in growth and differentiation, such as those involved in the differentiation of the three germ layers, organogenesis and limb development during embryogenesis. Retinoic acid exerts its effect through its binding to retinoic acid receptors (members of the steroid hormone superfamily of proteins), where the vitamin-receptor complex interacts with the genes. Two families of receptors interact with vitamin A: the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) family that bind all-trans-retinoic acid (and 9-cis-retinoic acid), and the retinoic acid X receptor (RXR) family that bind only 9-cis retinoic acid. Together these receptors can regulate the rate of gene expression. Both vitamin A deficiency and excess can cause birth defects.
Vitamin A is required for the normal functioning of the immune system. Retinol and its derivatives are required for the maintenance of the skin and mucosal cells that function as a barrier against infection, and are also required for the development of white blood cells that play a critical role in mounding an immune response. For example, the activation of T-cell lymphocytes requires the binding of the RAR receptor to retinoic acid. A deficiency in vitamin A can cause the mucosal membranes to atrophy, decreasing resistance to infection, and can increase the severity of infection. As such, vitamin A deficiency can be regarded as a nutritionally acquired immunodeficiency disease.
Vitamin A intake has a complex relationship with cancer prevention: while small doses of vitamin A or beta-carotene appear to help prevent cancer, higher doses seem to have the reverse effect. The anti-cancer effects of beta-carotene appear to stem from its anti-oxidative ability to scavenge for reactive oxygen species, as well as through its conversion to vitamin A, which can improve immune function in addition to eliciting an anti-proliferative effect through the RAR and RXR receptors, thereby acting to block certain carcinogenic processes and inhibit tumour cell growth. However, an excessive intake of beta-carotene appears to have carcinogen effects, possibly through its promotion of the eccentric (or asymmetric) pathway of beta-carotene cleavage, which produces breakdown products that might lead to the destruction of retinoic acid through the activation of the P450 enzyme, which in turn could decrease retinoid signalling leading to enhanced cell proliferation. Therefore dosage seems to be an important factor in beta-carotene action.
Vitamin A is also involved in the production of red blood cells, which are derived from stem cells that are dependent upon retinoids for their proper differentiation. In addition, vitamin A appears to facilitate the mobilisation of iron stores to developing red blood cells, where it is incorporated into the oxygen carrier haemoglobin.

Deal alert: You can fly round-trip Vancouver to Dublin for only $536 CAD right now
by Elana ShepertWhile it is one of the most breathtaking places on the planet, a flight from Vancouver to Ireland isn’t always affordable.
With that being said, this incredible deal from Icelandair gets you to Dublin for the same price you’d pay traveling to Los Angeles. In fact, the total return airfare, including all taxes and fees, comes to $536.47 CAD. What’s more, the itinerary only includes one stop in either direction. The first stop is just under two hours long, and the one on the way home is just over three.
The flight departs Vancouver on Friday, Feb. 28, 2020 and returns on Thursday, Mar. 12, 2020.
Explore Dublin and Ireland
Dublin offers a litany of things to do and see, as well as the perfect place to begin your Irish adventure. While you’re in the city you’ll be privy to a number of fantastic eateries, shopping, and, of course, its famous pubs. If you are looking to venture outside of the city, however, you’ll be able to explore the stunning beauty of the countryside.
For example, the stunning Cliffs of Moher, Ireland’s most visited tourist attraction, are located three hours from the city. These spectacular cliffs rise an incredible 702 feet at their highest point, just north of O’Brien’s Tower.

Rebel Without a Cause (1955)
Grade: 60
"Rebel Without a Cause" had an outstanding, if unfortunate, promotional gimmick. Young, charismatic lead James Dean, his star on the rise from his performance in the highly successful "East of Eden", died in a car accident less than a month before the film's release. Perhaps this was a case of life imitating art, since a dangerous game of 'chicken' is one of the highlights of "Rebel". With its attractive leads, a teens-in-peril theme, and a fast-moving plot, "Rebel" was a tremendous commercial success. It also created a cultural impact that formed the basis for its critical praise. Along with "The Wild One", "Blackboard Jungle" and rock 'n' roll music, "Rebel" fanned fears (justified or not) among conservative parents that teens would choose anti-establishment heroes and values.
The story features three teenagers, each from dysfunctional families.  Judy (Natalie Wood) has a father (William Hopper) who is physically repelled by her, making her anxious to find love from a father substitute. Plato is a creepy, sad-faced teen whose parents are absent, leaving him to be raised by a nanny (Marietta Canty). Plato is looking for substitutes for both mother and father, momentarily achieving this when Jim and Judy appear willing. Anyway, that is my amateur psychological evaluation of the leads. Your mileage may vary.
Our three troubled teens have brushes with the law and with gangs of tough-talking hoodlums led by Buzz (Corey Allen) and Goon (Dennis Hopper). "Rebel Without a Cause" expresses the theory that juvenile delinquents from affluent, 'good' families is not the fault of the mixed-up kids, but their mixed-up parents. The apparent conclusion is that the social problem can be solved by assigning a psychiatrist to every juvenile offender, ideally with their parents participating.
James Dean's onscreen persona is surprisingly sensitive and loyal to his friends. He only resorts to violence when he is forced to, except for a frustrated attack on his dithering, hapless father. Backus actually wears a large, matronly apron throughout one lengthy scene: Dean, you'll have to find a role model elsewhere.
"Rebel Without a Cause" was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor (Mineo) and Actress (Wood). Dean was posthumously nominated for Best Actor that year, but for the film "East of Eden", losing to (believe it or not) Ernest Borgnine.

HEAT A film review by Tom McDonald Copyright 1995 Tom McDonald
HEAT Fizzles Out
It's hard to believe Michael Mann could get two of Hollywood's biggest living legends and a multi-million dollar budget, and make a movie that totally collapses on itself. If you could overlook the worst on-screen kiss since Sylvester Stallone kissed Sharon Stone in THE SPECIALIST, the first portion of the movie lives up to the hype. DeNiro's and Pacino's characters are quickly established as the tough and professional ... and two guys on a definite collision course. An entertaining cat-and-mouse game quickly ensues between DeNiro and Pacino with the first half of the movie culminating in an entertaining, but woefully underwritten scene in which the two starts meet face to face.
Then integrity of the film then falls apart.
The collapse starts with a bank robbery in which DeNiro and two of his cohorts kill the entire LAPD. It's a ridiculous action sequence that has DeNiro carrying a wounded Val Kilmer through a hailstorm of magic bad-guy bullets ... ya know, those magic bullets that never hit the bad guys. Actually those bullets were flying over DeNiro's head and ripping holes in the rest of the script, because from that point on, every character comes down with the syndrome known as "lets not do what any real person with a brain would do in this situation so we can film another stupid contrived action sequence."
A real professional would have shot Kilmer in the head in the shoot-out and kept going. Nowhere in the film is the relationship between DeNiro and Kilmer portrayed as strong enough to warrant such heroic actions by DeNiro.
 I mean he's already killed the really, really bad guy. He sees that there are cops all over the hotel waiting for him to go after the really, really, really bad guy. Would a smart guy do it. No. Would a professional guy do it? Would a retiring thief with a gazillion dollars and a babe in the car and a jet at the airport do it ... the same guy who was lucky enough to run into the entire LAPD on a day when they all had blanks in their little guns. NO WAY. But Writer (I use that term loosely)/Director Mann would like you to think he would. Suddenly the professional is not professional, and DeNiro's character is totally undermined. Then, after another totally contrived scene in which DeNiro leaves his "deer-in-the-headlights" girlfriend standing at the car, there is another ridiculous scene in which 50 year old Pacino - carrying a ten pound shotgun - chases 50 year old DeNiro about seven miles around an airport. The film finally ... mercifully, ends in what has to be the worst choreographed and most uninventive shoot-out in movie history.
 HEAT starts out with lots of potential then gets really, really dumb. So dumb, that even DeNiro and Pacino cant save it. Hollywood must think we're idiots. Cheers to the guy who wrote this fall's USUAL SUSPECTS. It had half the star power, half the fire power, but it had ten times the script and it was ten times the movie. I can't believe Michael Mann looked at the final cut of this film and said "yeah ... let's go with it." He ought to be ashamed of himself for wasting such potential.

When you train a model, you use variables to hold and update parameters. Variables are in-memory buffers containing tensors. They must be explicitly initialized and can be saved to disk during and after training. You can later restore saved values to exercise or analyze the model.
This document references the following TensorFlow classes. Follow the links to their reference manual for a complete description of their API:
tf$Variable
class.tf$train$Saver
class.When you create a Variable you pass a Tensor
as its initial value to the Variable()
constructor. TensorFlow provides a collection of ops that produce tensors often used for initialization from constants or random values.
Note that all these ops require you to specify the shape of the tensors. That shape automatically becomes the shape of the variable. Variables generally have a fixed shape, but TensorFlow provides advanced mechanisms to reshape variables.
# Create two variables.
weights <- tf$Variable(tf$random_normal(shape(784L, 200L), stddev=0.35),
name="weights")
biases <- tf$Variable(tf$zeros(shape(200L), name="biases"))
Calling tf$Variable()
adds several ops to the graph:
variable
op that holds the variable value.tf$assign
op.zeros
op for the biases
variable in the example are also added to the graph.The value returned by tf$Variable()
value is an instance of the Python class tf$Variable
.
A variable can be pinned to a particular device when it is created, using a with(tf$device(...), {})
block:
# Pin a variable to CPU.
with(tf$device("/cpu:0"), {
v <- tf$Variable(...)
})
# Pin a variable to GPU.
with(tf$device("/gpu:0"), {
v <- tf$Variable(...)
})
# Pin a variable to a particular parameter server task.
with(tf$device("/job:ps/task:7"), {
v <- tf$Variable(...)
})
N.B. Operations that mutate a variable, such as v$assign()
and the parameter update operations in a tf$train$Optimizer
must run on the same device as the variable. Incompatible device placement directives will be ignored when creating these operations.
Device placement is particularly important when running in a replicated setting. See tf$train$replica_device_setter()
for details of a device function that can simplify the configuration for devices for a replicated model.
Variable initializers must be run explicitly before other ops in your model can be run. The easiest way to do that is to add an op that runs all the variable initializers, and run that op before using the model.
You can alternatively restore variable values from a checkpoint file, see below.
Use tf$global_variables_initializer()
to add an op to run variable initializers. Only run that op after you have fully constructed your model and launched it in a session.
# Create two variables.
weights <- tf$Variable(tf$random_normal(shape(784L, 200L), stddev=0.35),
name="weights")
biases <- tf$Variable(tf$zeros(shape(200), name="biases"))
# Add an op to initialize the variables.
init_op <- tf$global_variables_initializer()
# Later, when launching the model
with(tf$Session() %as% sess, {
# Run the init operation.
sess$run(init_op)
# Use the model
# ...
})
You sometimes need to initialize a variable from the initial value of another variable. As the op added by tf$global_variables_initializer()
initializes all variables in parallel you have to be careful when this is needed.
To initialize a new variable from the value of another variable use the other variable’s initialized_value()
property. You can use the initialized value directly as the initial value for the new variable, or you can use it as any other tensor to compute a value for the new variable.
# Create a variable with a random value.
weights <- tf$Variable(tf$random_normal(shape(784L, 200L), stddev=0.35),
name="weights")
# Create another variable with the same value as 'weights'.
w2 <- tf$Variable(weights$initialized_value(), name="w2")
# Create another variable with twice the value of 'weights'
w_twice <- tf$Variable(weights$initialized_value() * 2.0, name="w_twice")
The convenience function tf$global_variables_initializer()
adds an op to initialize all variables in the model. You can also pass it an explicit list of variables to initialize. See the Variables Documentation for more options, including checking if variables are initialized.
The easiest way to save and restore a model is to use a tf$train$Saver
object. The constructor adds save
and restore
ops to the graph for all, or a specified list, of the variables in the graph. The saver object provides methods to run these ops, specifying paths for the checkpoint files to write to or read from.
Variables are saved in binary files that, roughly, contain a map from variable names to tensor values.
When you create a Saver
object, you can optionally choose names for the variables in the checkpoint files. By default, it uses the value of the Variable.name
property for each variable.
To understand what variables are in a checkpoint, you can use the inspect_checkpoint
library, and in particular, the print_tensors_in_checkpoint_file
function.
Create a Saver
with tf$train$Saver()
to manage all variables in the model.
# Create some variables.
v1 <- tf$Variable(..., name="v1")
v2 <- tf$Variable(..., name="v2")
...
# Add an op to initialize the variables.
init_op <- tf$global_variables_initializer()
# Add ops to save and restore all the variables.
saver <- tf$train$Saver()
# Later, launch the model, initialize the variables, do some work, save the
# variables to disk.
with(tf$Session() %as% sess, {
sess$run(init_op)
# Do some work with the model.
..
# Save the variables to disk.
save_path <- saver$save(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")
cat(sprintf("Model saved in file: %s\n", save_path))
})
The same Saver
object is used to restore variables. Note that when you restore variables from a file you do not have to initialize them beforehand.
# Create some variables.
v1 <- tf$Variable(..., name="v1")
v2 = tf$Variable(..., name="v2")
...
# Add ops to save and restore all the variables.
saver <- tf$train$Saver()
# Later, launch the model, use the saver to restore variables from disk, and
# do some work with the model.
with(tf$Session() %as% sess, {
# Restore variables from disk.
saver$restore(sess, "/tmp/model.ckpt")
cat("Model restored.\n")
# Do some work with the model
...
})
If you do not pass any argument to tf$train$Saver()
the saver handles all variables in the graph. Each one of them is saved under the name that was passed when the variable was created.
It is sometimes useful to explicitly specify names for variables in the checkpoint files. For example, you may have trained a model with a variable named "weights"
whose value you want to restore in a new variable named "params"
.
It is also sometimes useful to only save or restore a subset of the variables used by a model. For example, you may have trained a neural net with 5 layers, and you now want to train a new model with 6 layers, restoring the parameters from the 5 layers of the previously trained model into the first 5 layers of the new model.
You can easily specify the names and variables to save by passing to the tf$train$Saver()
constructor a named list with the appropirate names and values.
Notes:
You can create as many saver objects as you want if you need to save and restore different subsets of the model variables. The same variable can be listed in multiple saver objects, its value is only changed when the saver restore()
method is run.
If you only restore a subset of the model variables at the start of a session, you have to run an initialize op for the other variables. See tf$initialize_variables()
for more information.
# Create some variables.
v1 <- tf$Variable(..., name="v1")
v2 <- tf$Variable(..., name="v2")
# Add ops to save and restore only 'v2' using the name "my_v2"
saver <- tf$train$Saver(dict(my_v2 = v2))
# Use the saver object normally after that.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21
There's a dimension of living you can only experience when you make a decision to please the Father in every activity of your life. In that dimension, Jesus becomes real to you and manifests Himself to you.
Just after the turn of the century, God poured out His Spirit and started a revival on Azusa Street. It was an awesome time, a time when people's entire lives were turned inside out. Everything else in their world seemed to lose importance. Supernatural things were happening. God was manifesting Himself in their presence.
The people involved in that revival soon began to be known to the world as "holiness" people. They got that title because they were so obviously different from everyone else. They would let go of anything they thought didn't please God. They were so caught up in the power of the spiritual realm, they lost interest in natural things.
Few believers today even know what holiness means. Even fewer understand the outpouring of God that comes to those who dare to step into it.
Holiness simply means separated to God. It's what you do with your life day by day. It's ordering your conduct according to the Word of God and the prompting of the Spirit. Holiness is the habit of being one mind with God, of turning away from the ways of the world and living instead in agreement with Him. Holiness doesn't happen to anyone by accident. It requires a decision of the will. Make that decision today.
Love God with all your heart by keeping His commandments. He'll show His love to you by manifesting Himself to you in powerful new ways. He'll pour Himself out on you just like He did on those believers at Azusa Street and revival will truly begin in you.

Did you know that... A blood cell, also called a haematocyte, is a cell produced by haematopoiesis and normally found in blood.
There are 3 blood cell types:


Coconut oil is known to penetrate into the deepest layer of your skin, helping to moisturise it. At the same time, its greasy texture ensures that it glides on your skin and solubilises any water resistant materials used in makeup products. Imagine having one product doing the job of a moisturiser while removing your makeup. Who wouldn’t want that?
Coconut oil works best as a makeup remover when warmed up since the warmth helps melt makeup faster. So, you can either rub it on your palms and apply to your face or warm it up in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds and then use it. It’s not recommended using the coconut oil in its solid form when it comes to makeup removal.
Some makeup removers can be harsh on the skin, especially the alcohol based ones. Coconut oil, on the other hand, is mild and works on all skin types. Post makeup removal care is significant depending upon what your skin type is. It does clog pores for some skin types which is why using organic, cold pressed coconut oil is recommended.


One simple problem issue I came across is when I created my navigation bar and one of my webpages was not linking with the rest. When I would click to it from another page it would not open. I first got frustrated but then I started to check what my other web page codes had that this webpage and from a process of elimination I was able to find that the link to the webpage was incorrect. Once I had found that I was overjoyed and relived, and I learnt to not get frustrated too quickly.
A problem I had with one of the Kata was having Terah’s children be the same as Adam’s children. When I got the error saying that Terah’s children needed to be Adam’s children I did not get frustrated this time as I had been able to get through the rest of the testing with a good understanding on what needed to be able to pass the tests. When I trialed the first code It did not work which was ok cause it was a start. I looked at the testing code and then did a second code which did work. Throughout I was a lot calmer but still overjoyed when I passed the test. What I learnt is that trial and error is part of improving our skills.


--- title: London Computation Club Code of Conduct layout: default ---
It’s of primary importance that everyone who wants to participate feels safe and welcome. When participating in the London Computation Club, either online or offline, at the meeting itself or at the pub afterwards, we expect you to:
On the mailing list, we want to maintain a high signal-to-noise ratio and while the organisers will step in as soon as they see poor behaviour, we encourage you to say something if you see it first. So please:
We want everyone to feel welcome at the London Computation Club, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. Accordingly, we will not tolerate harassment of our members in any form; not at the meetings, not at the pub after the meetings, or any other London Computation Club social meeting; not on Twitter or on any other online media.
Harassment includes invasions of personal space, exclusionary jokes/comments, and sexual language and imagery in meetings, but this list is non-exhaustive: if you make anyone feel uncomfortable or unwelcome, you will be asked to leave.
If you’re still in need of clarification, there are a number of good resources online which we encourage you read. The main thing to remember though, is that if someone feels harassed or excluded by your words or actions, then those words or actions constitute harassment or exclusion. Your intent is not a factor.
All London Computation Club participants are accountable for their own behaviour. If you’ve behaved badly elsewhere, that may count against you here, because of the effect it has on other attendees.
If you experience or witness any harassing behaviour, please report it to a member of the volunteer team.
If you’d like to join the volunteer team please contact one of the volunteers.

Based on and inspired by the UK DoT statistical report 2018.
This is a summary report. A discussion into the background around the effects of EV charging in New Zealand, as well as detailed information on data limitations and data cleaning procedure is given in the full report.
The data consisted of 1291881 data points (of which 790391 were charging (power demand > 0)) from 50 vehicles over 8 months (April 2018 - January 2019) derived from FlipTheFleet’s blackbox recorder. The recorder provided measurements at 1 minute frequency of charging behaviour and battery charge state.
Due to privacy considerations, the data is not publically available.
The capacity of most domestic charging is between 1.8kW to 7kW, whereas charging power above 7kW is available at purpose-built charging stations(Concept Consulting 2018). Each charging event was therefore seperated into “Fast” (> = 7kW) and “Standard” (below 7kW).
A charging event was defined as a continuous sequence of 1 minute observations per vehicle when > 0 kW of demand was observed.
Perhaps for the summary report this entire subsection could be removed? There were 6 vehicles within the provided data that had no recorded charging occur. These were immediately discarded.
Some instances of charging power greater than 120kW were recorded. These were considered anomolies and discarded, as these exceed the capacity of the highest charging stations available in New Zealand (Concept Consulting 2018).
Instances of battery state of charge being greater than 100% or less than 0% were also discarded.
Standard charge durations of less than 8 minutes were frequently encountered near the end of a longer charging cycle, where the state of charge had reached it’s maximum. These were assumed to be minor ‘top-ups’, and were discarded. In addition, slow charging events greater than 100 hours were discarded, as were fast charge durations greater than 14 hours. These were presumed anomolies as they exceed the battery capacity of electric vehicles commonly encountered in New Zealand.
For more detailed information on the data cleaning process refer to the main report.
Figure 4.1 shows the distribution of observed charging kW demand by inferred charge type. This plot shows that fast charges are relatively rare in the dataset whilst standard charges are much more common, and are concentrated around 1.8kW, 3kW and 6kW.
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
75% of standard charging observations were 1.47 kW or more but the figure was 20.28 kW or more for fast charging
Figure 5.1 shows the distribution of observed charging kW demand by day of the week. We can see that fast charging varies in demand but standard charging is relatively constant across days.
Figure 6.1 shows the overall distribution of charging sequences. As would be expected, fast charging events tend to have a much shorted duration than standard charging.
| chargeType | N | mean | median | min | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard charging | 2860 | 244.01 | 208.65 | 8.02 | 1616.72 |
| Fast charging | 277 | 17.74 | 15.50 | 8.05 | 80.27 |
| chargeType | N | mean | median | min | max |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard charging | 2860 | 244.00682 | 208.65 | 8.016667 | 1616.71667 |
| Fast charging | 277 | 17.73694 | 15.50 | 8.050000 | 80.26667 |
Figure 7.1 shows the distribution of observed charging by time of day and day of the week. Aggregating counts in this way emphasises the times at which charging most commonly occurs and we can see…
Fig: profile of median charging demand by time of day and day of the week faceted by at home vs not at home
Charging demand varies somewhat by time of day and day of the week. Weekdays show … whilst weekends show. Saturdays and Sundays vary with…

Slow charging events most commonly began around 10pm during both weekdays and weekends. As it seems unlikely that this is due to vehicle drivers returning home at this hour, this effect may be due to drivers setting the charger on a timer to take advantage of cheaper “off-peak” electricity times, which freqently begin around 10pm.
Fast charging events tended to begin at 11:30am on weekdays and 1pm during weekends.
> Discuss any other patterns
## Saving 7 x 5 in image
Figure 8.1 shows that many vehicles arrive home with greater than 50% charge remaining and would therefore be able to transfer energy to the home during the evening grid peak as a form of demand response.

Andrew is a full-stack web and mobile application developer, former educator,
and a talented creator of all things good. Andrew is a hard working, dedicated individual
who has a passion for software development and creativity. After receiving his Bachelor's in Physics
and Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Arkansas, he taught robotics and math classes at
El Dorado High School and helped students win several engineering competitions hosted by Louisiana
Tech University. After moving to New Orleans, he taught robotics and AP Computer Science at Sci High
and built a makerspace that is still operational to this day. As Director of Education for IDIYA Labs
he created several innovation labs at New Orleans area schools and worked with over 200 teachers
to develop curriculum and project based learning techniques. Andrew hosts a radio show and podcast
called Maker Bayou. He most recently has become adept in app and website development,
programming with JavaScript for front-end and back-end frameworks.
I'm currently seeking employment in software engineering. Click for my resume.
I developed and taught curriculum on advanced manufacturing techniques including laser cutting, 3D printing, CNC machining, 3D CAD, and digital device creation. I instructed youth and adults on computer science concepts that emphasize variables, program control flow, conditional rendering, database creation and access, event handling, and algorithm development.
In addition to spearheading multiple makerspace and innovation lab builds at schools in the Greater New Orleans Area, I trained over 200 teachers in the use of creativity and advanced manufacturing within their curriculum. Through robotics instruction utilizing the Arduino microcontroller platform, I taught C++ with an emphasis in subroutines, hardware control, functions, data processing, loops, variable efficiency, I/O monitoring, and artificial intelligence.
Creating sweeping changes within a senior level physics class, I taught robotics through the Arduino microcontroller to many students. In addition to teaching Algebra II and Biology, I also offered AP Computer Science for the first time at Sci High. Working through a summer break, I converted an unused classroom into a highly successful makerspace that quickly became the favorite class of many students. My technical proficiencies acquired during this time include object oriented programming, debugging, sorting algorithms and algorithm analysis, and ethical computer use.
Being hired by El Dorado School District was a privelege. With humble beginnings teaching 9th Grade Physical Science, I had the opportunity to attend a robotics training program through Louisiana Tech University called NASA Threads. Becoming introduced to the power of programming, I continued my education by becoming certified in AP Computer Science. I taught Pre-Calculus and Trigonometry making math fun and engaging for students. I learned how to demonstrate engineering and coding concepts with an emphasis on sensor data manipulation, electronic circuits, robotic control, tactile navigation, and pulse width modulation for servo control.
Apart from being a full-stack developer, I enjoy both indoor and outdoor activites. Inside I like fine dining, going to the gym, learning new skills, playing computer games, and cooking. Outside I enjoy camping, canoeing, hiking, hunting, and rock climbing.

I am what you would call Concrete Random. Or so that is what Gregorc quiz says I am. Although I tend to stay away from any type of label that would group me in to any one category (with the exception of "handsome" and "extraordinary"), for the sake of this article I will play along.
There are definitely a few aspects of the Concrete Random thinking style that I can use at DBC to help me. Let's focus on two of CR's most defining characteristics, experimentation and taking risks. Being in an environment at DBC that allows me the comfort and freedom to try things you would never be able to try in other educational environments, and especially work for that matter, will do wonders for this attribute of my thinking style.
Of course, so far in phase 0, not everything has been completely smooth sailing. I definitely have difficulties when it comes to a lot of reading! I much rather get my hands dirty and start experimenting with concepts right away and reference and read as I go. I have developed a good way of dealing with this though, and that is while reading, I will take a break and go find a visual or hands-on tutorial to help me solidify those concepts.
While keeping an open mind and keeping a growth mind-set I have definitely bought in (not without some trepidation) in to the group and pair oriented part of DBC's education process. Apparently, a Concrete Random thinker might have problems with outside authority sometimes (ahem), which I can definitely say is true for me a lot. This makes it difficult for me sometimes to work with others in the most effective way possible. But even the first few weeks of DBC has helped me to get better at this already!
