Leprosy is a least infectious, stigmatizing and potentially disabling disease caused by Mycobaterium leprae. It is also known as Hansen disease. The disease may lead to physical disability if not treated promptly and completely.
For ages, Leprosy was considered as one of the main public health problems in Nepal and existed here since time immemorial. Elimination and treatment of leprosy has always been a priority of the government’s plan and policy. Activities to control leprosy effectively started from 1960 onwards.According to a survey conducted in 1966, the estimated number of leprosy case was 1,00,000. Dapsone Monotherapy treatment was introduced as Pilot Project in the leprosy control programme and simultaneously the Multidrug Therapy (MDT) was also introduced in 1982/83 in few selected areas and hospital of the country which successfully reduced the leprosy cases to 21,537 with the registered prevalence rate of 21case per 10,000 population. Considering the seriousness of the disease, the vertical leprosy programme was an integrated with the general health services in 1987. MDT service was gradually expanded and by 1996, MDT coverage had extended to all 75 districts.
Following the continuous efforts from the government,

At present, the registered prevalence has remained under cut-off line so far because of continuous capacity building and training to health professionals, active case search and early case detection campaign, free distribution and availability of drugs and dedicated health professionals and organizations involved in leprosy control programme at national level (PR=0.89), 54 districts (PR<1) and 6 districts with PR=0.
Leprosy Control Division strived forward towards leprosy control with following vision, mission, goal, objectives and strategies.
Vision
To make a leprosy-free society where there is no new leprosy case and all the needs of existing leprosy affected persons having been fully met.
Mission
To provide accessible and acceptable cost effective quality leprosy services including rehabilitation and continue to provide such
services as long as and wherever needed.
Goal
Reduce further burden of leprosy and to break channel of
transmission of leprosy from person to person by providing quality service to all affected community.


Three in five Aussies struggling to sleep
by AAPIF you feel like you’re not getting enough sleep, you’re not alone.
Three in five Australians are suffering from at least one symptom of insomnia, a new report has found.
The Sleep Health Foundation has warned sleep deprivation is affecting people’s chances to lead healthy, happy lives.
The foundation’s Professor Robert Adams says lack of sleep can affect mood, safety, health and relationships with family and mates.
“It’s troubling to see just how common it is for Australians to struggle with their sleep when it’s such a vital aspect of good health and happiness,” Professor Adams said on Monday.
Nearly half of Australians don’t feel like their daily lives give them enough time to get a good night’s rest most of the time, the foundation’s report has found.
Women are more likely than men to be worried about getting a good night’s rest and are more often overwhelmed by thoughts when they try to sleep.
Older Australians are finding it hardest to stay asleep, with almost half of those aged 65 or over waking up frequently during the night.
But younger Australians, aged 18 to 24, had more difficulty falling asleep than over-65s.

Richard Hammond Is Buying A New Car, Help Him Spec It
Yup, it's British and it's fast.
by Anthony KarrRichard Hammond has surely had some great cars, including a BMW 850 Ci, a Dodge Challenger SRT-8, a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, and even a Jaguar E-Type. The time has come for the Hamster to get a new ride following his recent date with the Ford Ranger Raptor. This time around, the car has nothing to do with the performance truck segment.
Instead, Hammond is buying a new Morgan Plus Six – the company’s latest creation, which rides on an aluminum chassis and uses a BMW-sourced inline-six engine. Sounds like the perfect car for Hammond and he wants you to help him spec it.
Gallery: Morgan Plus Six
In the video at the top of this page, after taking us on a quick tour around Morgan’s factory in rainy Malvern, UK, Hammond talks more about the car he is getting. After discussing the interior colors of his Plus Six with a representative of Morgan’s design team, he eventually reduces his options to just two – red or blue. This is where your role comes – at this link, you can vote for which color combination Hammond should have.
Some Of Hammond's Cars:
“I’ve narrowed it down to two options – red or blue. Now, this is where you guys come in. Please cast your vote in the poll below and you will literally be shaping the future look of my next car. Good luck, and please, choose wisely: I’ll be paying for it and driving it.”
Just as a quick reminder, the Plus Six rides on the company’s new CX-Generation aluminum architecture with some parts of the platform still being made of wood. Power comes from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine from BMW, which is good for 335 horsepower (250 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters). It reaches the wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Congress manifesto for Jharkhand polls promises farm loan waiver, anti-lynching law
The Congress has stitched an alliance with the JMM and the RJD to contest the five-phase assembly elections between November 30 and December 20 to the 81-member House.
by PTIThe Congress on November 24 released its manifesto for the upcoming Jharkhand assembly polls, promising a one-time farm loan waiver of up to Rs 2 lakh and a stringent law to deal with cases of lynching in the state.
Besides the loan waiver assurance, the manifesto -- released by AICC in-charge RPN Singh here -- pledged to free farmers from the clutches of money lenders and make the process of institutional loans easier.
"An effective 'Kisan Fasal Bima' will be introduced and adequate compensation to agriculture produce affected by pests and natural calamities will be provided, and modern tools and fertiliser will be given to farmers on suitable prices," it said.
The Congress has stitched an alliance with the JMM and the RJD to contest the five-phase assembly elections between November 30 and December 20 to the 81-member House.

Weather Site Plan
Purpose
The purpose of The Weather Site is to give current weather conditions in 3 different ways. The initial page will give the weather for the current location based on the Geocoding location information from the device. The second is weather for 3 specific locations accessible through a dedicated link, and the third is weather for any location determined by a search string.
Audience
Primary audience is adults ages 18-30. Most will be students. Access to the site will be split between mobile devices and laptops. A secondary audience will be anyone interested in weather.
Audience Goals
College students move around quite a bit so one goal would be to quickly get the weather conditions for their current location as they head off to class or study. They are also often far from their homes so the ability to quickly get the conditions for a specific location is important as well. The third goal deals with planning for travels...the ability to get weather conditions for any location will help with last minute packing for road trips.
Persona
- Name: Joe Cool
- Occupation: student
- Age: Eternally 18
- Interests: Traveling, Flying, Play acting, Eating
- Motivation: Joe is not into planning. His last minute scrambling, whether it is getting to class in the morning or heading out on his latest adventure, has left him unprepared for weather conditions many times (He is tired of sleeping in the rain and snow). He would like to be more prepared...without having to put much effort into it...or planning.
- Environment: Joe is comfortable using laptops and Mobile devices, he will most often be found on a smart phone however. Many of the places he frequents do not have great signal…he is often dealing with 3G speeds

'Greta Thunberg' spotted in 120-year-old photo
Conspiracy theorists are branding teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg a time traveller after spotting her in a 120-year-old picture.
The picture in question shows three children working at a gold mine in the Yukon Territory in Canada and was taken around 1898. It was found in the picture archives of the Univeristy of Washington, which you can see for yourself here.
While it’s true that one of the children does bear a striking resemblance to Greta, we have to point out the teenage activist has not, in fact, discovered the art of time travel.
It’s pretty much just a spooky coincidence.
But the internet hasn’t wasted any time in pointing out the similarity.
Advertisement Advertisement
Greta is currently leading the charge on climate change and is travelling to events to raise awareness – all without resorting to flying on a plane.
She travelled by boat from Europe to the USA earlier this year and was planning to go to a crucial environmental conference in Chile.
However, the event was moved to Madrid, Spain, at late notice following widespread protests and violence in the South American country – leaving Greta stranded ahead of a possible 6,000 mile journey.
Not one to be deterred, she is currently crossing the Atlantic back again to try and make it back to Europe without having to set foot on a plane.
At just 16, Greta has single-handedly inspired a generation to demand action on climate change, sparking important conversations on some of the world’s biggest platforms.
A year ago, she walked out of school on her own and warned her parents and teachers she would not go back into lessons until adults began working to end the climate crisis.
Earlier this year, she was joined by millions of people from 150 countries across the globe protesting the lack of action on climate change.

LIFT07: Towards a society of cyborgs, Daniela Cerqui
Walked in late to this one... it looks a bit hand-wavey cybernetic, but I'm here for the nostalgia trip (Cybernetics was my degree, for a bit)
What we consider as normal is continually shifting as technology progresses.
We can get used to almost anything.
Usual argument is that implants are good for therapy but not enhancement. But this is an entirely arbitrary line: enhancements constantly follow therapy.
Kevin Warwick is not an exception; his implants are just one more step along the route which we're all following. Right now, being normal in our society means being connected. What those who argue with this stuff are arguing against is our essential human nature.
Adam Greenfield: I don't feel we're all on the same path. Who can define what normal is - telling me I'm connected is an imposition.
Q: Is Kevin Warwick happier with his implant?
A: Yes. (Though the happiness she describes seems more one of intellectual satisfaction than an emotional state)


Jackie Brown
Chad'z rating: **** (out of 4 = excellent)
1997, R, 155 minutes [2 hours, 35 minutes]
[crime/mystery]
starring: Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), Samuel L. Jackson (Ordell Robbie), Robert Forster (Max Cherry), Robert De Niro (Louis Gara); produced by Lawrence Bender; written and directed by Quentin Tarantino; based on the novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard.
Seen January 3, 1997 at 3:40 p.m. at The Latham Circle Mall Cinema 9 (Latham, NY), theater #3, with Matt Perreault and Chris Wessell for $5. [Theater rating: **1/2: fuzzy picture, good sound, average seats]
It's funny how basic truths can be misleading. The promotions for "Jackie Brown" mention something about six players after a half million dollars in cash, while at the same time playing each other, and for the most part this is true. However, the hook to the film is not so much the conflict involving the money, but the way each character relates to and uses the other, and the detailed specifics of how they interact.
Pam Grier stars as Jackie Brown, a black airline stewardess in her 40s who is doing the best she can to get by. When she is taken into custody by ATF agent Ray Nicolet (Michael Keaton) for supposedly smuggling in a large amount of cash, we begin to learn more about her and a shady past (and present) she is trying to put behind her. We are also introduced to gun-runner Ordell Robbie (Jackson), a clever, talkative thug who has just been reacquainted with Louis Gara (De Niro), a quiet, slightly dim-witted ex-con. There's also Ordell's sexy, but lazy, lady-friend Melanie (Bridget Fonda) whose attraction to Louis makes for great, unspoken tension. And last, but certainly not least, Robert Forster as seasoned bail bondsman Max Cherry, who gives an ordinary character an overwhelming sense of being.
In "Pulp Fiction" Tarantino was able to tell several over-lapping stories that served as a both a great anthology and complete story, all strung together by excellent characterization. Here we get just the opposite - a chiseled character study which pushes and pulls the plot from all directions. Where other directors and/or screenwriters might rush to establish and develop a story as complicated as the one we get here, Tarantino takes his time, which allows us to enjoy the ride even longer. For example, the basic story concerns Ordell's efforts to use Jackie to smuggle in 1990S from Mexico, but everyone else wants (and needs) a part of the scam in one way or another. Jackie wants the money to buy a better life, but Agent Nicolet needs her to help him catch Ordell. Max has been smitten by Jackie's charm and wants to help her, but not put himself at risk in the process. Meanwhile, Melanie distracts Louis which somewhat botches Ordell's plan, but not enough to further her own agenda.
This premise may or may not sound complicated, but simply watching how the film breaks down the plot from story arc to individual scenes and even intricate shots themselves gives one the sense of awe. This isn't just a story about people after money, it's a great exercise in character interaction and what they are capable of. All of the characters may be typical, but their characterization is not. It's fascinating to watch how a seemingly everyday person like Jackie can almost single-handedly outsmart the vileness of Ordell and the valor of Nicolet. Everything she says and does makes complete sense and seems realistic, while at the same time utilizing Tarantino's pulp-esque appeal.
It's remarkable how fluidly the story to "Jackie Brown" flows, especially considering how it uses violence, double-crosses, and vulgarity to its advantage without becoming remotely gratuitous. Every character is so authentic they practically radiate auras, as the witty dialogue and outstanding performances perfectly enhance each other. At no point is there any way to tell which direction the story will go next - why can't all movies be like that?

| PostgreSQL 9.0.10 Documentation | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prev | Up | Chapter 35. Extending SQL | Next |
PostgreSQL is extensible because its operation is catalog-driven. If you are familiar with standard relational database systems, you know that they store information about databases, tables, columns, etc., in what are commonly known as system catalogs. (Some systems call this the data dictionary.) The catalogs appear to the user as tables like any other, but the DBMS stores its internal bookkeeping in them. One key difference between PostgreSQL and standard relational database systems is that PostgreSQL stores much more information in its catalogs: not only information about tables and columns, but also information about data types, functions, access methods, and so on. These tables can be modified by the user, and since PostgreSQL bases its operation on these tables, this means that PostgreSQL can be extended by users. By comparison, conventional database systems can only be extended by changing hardcoded procedures in the source code or by loading modules specially written by the DBMS vendor.
The PostgreSQL server can moreover incorporate user-written code into itself through dynamic loading. That is, the user can specify an object code file (e.g., a shared library) that implements a new type or function, and PostgreSQL will load it as required. Code written in SQL is even more trivial to add to the server. This ability to modify its operation "on the fly" makes PostgreSQL uniquely suited for rapid prototyping of new applications and storage structures.

Or it comes from a responder able to answer the user's question. E.g.
#! do you have any pets
?: ( << you ~own pet >>) I have two chickens.
The next level of creating an impression is to remember some of the information the user has given, and drop it back into conversation later. This will create a vivid impression on the user.
This is easiest done by memorizing certain kinds of information and having a use for them later. Things like what pet they have, whether they like coffee or not, their age, etc. There are two places one can store longer term data variables and facts. Variables are the cheapest and most efficient thing to use. Here is an example of memorizing pets:
t: Do you have any pets?
#! dog
a: (%tense!=past dog) Dogs make great pets. $pet = dog
#! cat
a: (%tense!=past cat) I prefer cats. $pet = cat
#! elephant
a: (_~animals) $pet = _0
s: ( %tense!=past << I ~own _~animal >>) $pet = _0
The above will either catch an unprovoked statement by the user that he owns some animal (not owned in the past) or will catch a reference to some animal in response to the bot's question while commenting at the same time. We now have a value for $pet
. This can be used later in the same topic/conversation as follows:
t: do you have any pets?
t: I have two chickens.
t: I love having chickens
t: ($pet) refine()
a: ($pet=dog) Have you always preferred dogs as pets?
a: (*) What do you feed your $pet ?
The pet gambit will not fire until it knows of a user's pet. Control would skip past it if the user has never named an animal. Someday in the future when it learns of a pet, it might issue this gambit if it ever randomly selected the pet topic again.
An even more impressive bot will bring up the pet again in a future conversation. How to write such script will be explained in a moment. But imagine at the start of some future conversation, the bot, after saying hello, says "I was walking by a pet store the other day and saw the cutest dog in the window, which reminded me of your dog. Has it learned any new tricks?"
There are two parts to the code for this. First, you have to detect you are in a new conversation. Then you have to decide when to bring forth the memory. The simple place to do this is in the introduction topic, when issuing and responding to "hello" and "how are you". You are only in this topic at the start of a conversation, so any knowledge you have memorized about pets clearly has to have been from a prior conversation. So you can try to find a moment when the user has issued a statement (not a question). So the topic might have a bunch of rules like this:
s: ($pet) I remember you have a $pet.
s: ($coffee) I know you like coffee.
Obviously the sentence output should be more sophisticated. Once this rule has fired, it automatically erases itself and will not fire again. Then again, maybe you want to initiate a subconversation on this by calling a topic to handle it. The topic might look like this:
topic: ~yourpet []
t: (!$pet) keep() end(TOPIC)
t: I was passing a pet shop yesterday and it reminded me of your $pet. Do you buy toys for it?
t: What do you feed your $pet?
This topic has several special characteristics. First, it has no keywords, so it will not be launched accidentally by something the user says. Second, its first gambit will make the topic exit if no pet has been learned about (and stays available for future use). This is because if the system is trying to find a random topic to gambit at some point in the future, we don't want this topic to do anything if we don't know a pet. The call to the topic from inside introductions can remain the same, or it can be changed to this:
s: ($pet) gambit(~yourpet) disable(rule ~)
The reason for disabling the rule is that when this rule is first called, it will generate output from ~yourpet, so this rule does not disable itself. That means during the next startup it will try to call ~yourpet again. That's not awful, because only new gambits will be issued. But maybe the topic is not written to be started from anywhere within it. Or maybe you don't want to start two conversations with references to their pet. So if you explicitly disable this rule when it fires, then all this is avoided.
An alternative to the above mechanism of sticking it in the introductions, is to have a topic you can initiate later from somewhere (presumably the control script) which goes and looks at memorized stuff and initiates conversations about them. If you absolutely want it to do this only in new conversations and not the same one where you learned the data, then you need to memorize when you learned the data as well as what. So your memorization might be:
$pet = _0 $pethwhen = %input
This means we could write script that can tell if this is a new conversation or not.
s: ($pet $petwhen<%userfirstline) I remember you have a $pet
$petwhen will have been set at volley 20, for example. %userfirstline is always the starting volley id of the current conversation. If the first conversation lasted for 50 volleys, then the start will be at 51 in this new conversation and at 0 in the old conversation. So the relation test fails as long as we are in the old conversation.
The most difficult part of bringing up remembered data is deciding when to do it. Finding a natural segway into the memory at the start of the conversation is best. It is perhaps more awkward if you try to find a break in the conversation to suddenly ramble about what you remember of the user. Which leads to yet another way of dealing with remembered data. Finding an excuse in normal topics to make reference to it. The problem is that the special code for that might get extensive.
Consider that we know they own a dog and the conversation is currently on food.
This gambit will never execute unless they own a dog, so it's pretty specialized. But you wouldn't ask it for any pet, either:
t: ($pet) Do you ever feed your $pet table scraps during dinner?
Just imagine asking that about a canary or a goldfish. Of course you could have a set of animals that would eat scraps like this;
concept: ~table_pets (dog cat lion goat elephant)
t: ($pet?~table_pets) Do you ever feed your $pet table scraps during dinner?
Note that $pet is a variable that, once set, lives forever with the user data unless you explicitly erase it. Therefore it can be used all over the place, and only gambits and responders using it that generate output will get erased, the variable remains for other rules to trigger on.

AngularJS version
Make admin include AngularJS version of each variation / layout.
AngularJS will allow fast application that works like a single page. That's mean that for example topbar and sidebar will stay when page change. Only main content will be updated.
See AngularJS version example See official Documentation
AngularJS files
You will find all specific AngularJS files inside angularjs folder. For example, if you want to use layout1, you will find AngularJS files in admin/layout1/angularjs folder.
How to use AngularJS theme?
We will take example of layout 1 version. It's the same thing without other layouts and with RTL version too.
1. Copy admin folder
Here we just need files inside admin folder. All images / js / css / html files will be available.
2. Remove unecessary files
If you want to use layout 1, you can remove admin/layout2 , admin/layout3 , admin/layout4 folders.
you can also remove admin/assets/admin/layout2 , admin/assets//admin/layout3 , admin/assets//admin/layout4 folders.
You can also remove all html pages that are unnecessary, like admin/layout1/charts.html, admin/layout1/charts-finance.html...
You can also remove admin/layout1/page-builder folder since it's not available for AngularJS version, as well as admin/layout1/partial folder.
How to change files path (optional)
It's possible that you want to modify files path. Indeed, your files tree now is:
To show a concrete example, we will modify it in order to have this files organization:
1. Move angularjs files
Cut all files inside admin/layout1/angularjs folder and past it in your root folder.
After that, you can remove admin/layout1 folder since we don't need it now.
2. Move admin & global files
Cut the 2 folders (admin & global) that you will find in admin/assets folder and past it in your root folder.
After that, you can remove admin/assets folder since we don't need it now.
We have now file organization as we want, but we will have to change some files path to make it works now.
3. Move admin & global files
Cut the 2 folders (admin & global) that you will find in admin/assets folder and past it in your root folder.
We have now file organization as we want, but we will have to change some files path to make it works now.
4. Update files and images path
Of course, you will have to change all files and images path in your project since we have changed it.
Best think will be to search in all files and replace in all files using find and replace option in your editor. If you don't know how to search and replace in all files without searching file by file, you can modify each file one by one, or send us an email because each editor is different.
So, in all files, you will have to search and replace:
- ../../../assets/global/ by ../global/
- ../../../assets/admin/ by ../admin/
Here normally you application will work fine. Of course, if you want to have another files organization, you can adapt it to fit your needs.


I'm a Full Stack Developer, working mainly with the programming languages and frameworks above.
I do all kinds of applications, from back to front end, Mobile, Web and Desktop.


{% extends "header.html" %} {% block body %}
In this tutorial, we talk about where to get sqlite, and how to set up a database. Databases offer, typically, a superior method of high-volume data input and output over a typical file such as a text file. SQLite is a "light" version that works based on SQL syntax. SQL is a programming language in itself, but is a very popular database language. Many websites use MySQL, for example.
 Setting a SQLite database is nearly instant, there's no hoops to jump through like there are for MySQL!
This tutorial assumes you understand basic SQL syntax, and that you're mainly after a tutorial purely on SQLite. If you need to learn about SQL or need a refresher, the MySQL tutorial is probably the best place for you first.
Once you have sqlite, the first thing you must do is create the actual table itself. This only needs to be done once, but of course must be done.
Here is the sample code that accompanies the video:
import sqlite3 conn = sqlite3.connect('tutorial.db') c = conn.cursor() def tableCreate(): c.execute("CREATE TABLE stuffToPlot(ID INT, unix REAL, datestamp TEXT, keyword TEXT, value REAL)") def dataEntry(): c.execute("INSERT INTO stuffToPlot VALUES(1,<PHONE_NUMBER>,'2013-04-14 10:09:41','Python Sentiment',5)") c.execute("INSERT INTO stuffToPlot VALUES(2,<PHONE_NUMBER>,'2013-04-14 10:10:57','Python Sentiment',6)") c.execute("INSERT INTO stuffToPlot VALUES(3,<PHONE_NUMBER>,'2013-04-14 10:11:04','Python Sentiment',4)") conn.commit()
The above code will first create a database file called "tutorial." Then the code will create a table called "stuffToPlot" with tableCreate(). This tableCreate function should only be run ONCE. Not again. Subsequently, we can use dataEntry() to actually enter some sample data into the database.
Notably, this code is problematic since we are having to still type out the values. What if we have a program that derives values and needs to insert them into the database?

SharedWebCredentials
Swift library for easily working with Shared Web Credentials for iOS with Carthage support.
Released under the MIT license. Enjoy.
Installation
Carthage is the recommended way to install SharedWebCredentials. Add the following to your Cartfile:
github "soffes/SharedWebCredentials"
Prerequisites
To use Shared Web Credentials, you’ll need to setup the proper entitlements and an associated domain. Here’s documentation on how to do that.
Be sure you don’t miss:
If your app runs in iOS 9 and later and you use HTTPS to serve the file, you can create a plain text file that uses the application/json MIME type and you don’t need to sign it.
All of that signing stuff is a real pain. If you are targeting iOS 9 or later, you can skip this step!
Once you get all of that stuff setup, you can use this framework instead of the Security framework to access the credentials in a Swift-friendly way.
Usage
Start by importing the framework:
import SharedWebCredentials
Retrieve Credentials
The system will show its own UI for letting the user choose which account they want to use to sign into the app. The result will be a Credential
struct or nil
.
Store.get { credential, error in
if let credential = credential {
print("Username: \(credential.account), Password: \(credential.password)")
}
print("Error: \(error)")
}
It will automatically use any of the domains you have set in your com.apple.developer.associated-domains
entitlement. You can optionally specify the domain
argument to pick a specific one.
Adding a New Credential
Store.add(domain: "myapp.com", account: "steve", password: "password")
Removing a Credential
Store.remove(domain: "myapp.com", account: "steve")

HEARTBREAKERS * * *
2001 - USA Director: David Mirkin Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Gene Hackman, Jason Lee, Ray Liotta
Reviewed by Frankie Paiva
Cleavage goes a long way. It's how a mother-daughter con team consisting of Max (Sigourney Weaver) and Paige (Jennifer Love Hewitt) get their way with rich men. Through careful selection, the two move from town to town exploiting innocent creeps for big moola. Max seduces and marries them. Paige seduces and tempts them. Soon after comes a large settlement. Their biggest and final challenge lies ahead in Palm Beach. The two must work fast to reach an IRS deadline, as Max has been less than prompt with the past eight year's worth of tax returns. Simultaneously working a near-death, hacking tobacco tycoon (Gene Hackman), and a young, potentially wealthy beach bar owner (Jason Lee), the duo move toward the last con, with Paige's need for independence from her wacky mother growing stronger by the day.
About that cleavage again, there certainly is plenty of it. By the halfway point, the top halves of both breast sets should be quite familiar to the audience. So should respective neighbors like the inner thighs and behind. The flaunting sexuality is for the goggle-eyes of men, but these ladies are in control of the entire species. It's their own lives where they lose course. They conquer any obstacle because they are brilliant con-women. It's a hoot to watch all the different ways Paige and Max will avoid paying for things like a meal or a hotel stay. Conning is second nature to them, a great way to live life.
`Heartbreakers' is a comedy that's content to browse and poke its nose into several genres of its pleasing. It doesn't work as the romance it tries to become, but suits itself as one of the finer situation comedies in recent memory. The last good-hearted comedy that didn't mock or make fun of its characters was `Bring it On'. The film evokes just as many laughs with sophistication, but lacks the same fast-paced editing.
At 123 minutes long, `Heartbreakers' is in major need of a chop down. It isn't very succinct, and tends to lag. It has a problem with taking too long to set-up locations and motivations, which doesn't work when it wants to pull the rug from the audience's feet.
Sigourney and Jennifer are very believable as family. They look nothing like each other, but their talents fill in the bond. After a long absence, and a very bad TV movie, Jennifer Love Hewitt shows a high level of skill. Hewitt is often miscast, despite her gifts. I suggest she have a serious talk with her agent immediately. Sigourney Weaver shows she still has flair to burn, and that `Alien: Resurrection' was just a serious case of bad judgment.
You will laugh and have a good time at `Heartbreakers'. It is a very funny movie with some great scenes, and the actors have a blast with their roles. There comes, though, when some inconsistency just can't be overlooked. As an example, gay men and police have apparently no existence in this film's world.
It's the perfect rental, and a good date movie. See it, smile, and inhale the feeling of thoughtless fun at the movies. Just don't expect all your needs fulfilled.
Disclaimer: I may have missed several plot details and jokes in `Heartbreakers' because this film marks the first time I was physically attacked during a movie. Isn't life wonderful?

Blogpost4| Making an ensemble of models
Trained models
The pretrained models that I used (models provided by PyTorch) all contained linear layers as last layers. I replaced these layers with convolutional layers since I do not want to loose spatial information when predicting my outputs. Additionally I had a self-made deep neural network which consisted of residual blocks and deconvolution layers. I then trained the models separately and ended up having 7 models that performed well.
Ensembling the models
In order to make a supermodel in PyTorch, we first have to make instances of every model classes. Since we have 7 quite large models, I made a separate file containing all the model classes, and named in all7models.py
. First I need to import all necessary things:
import torch.nn as nn
import torchvision.models as models
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F
import numpy as np
Then all the different classes of models that were trained. Here is ana exmaple of the AlexNet model (1 out of 7):
# ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
# : A l e x N e t
# ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
class AlexNet(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, outsize):
super(AlexNet, self).__init__()
self.outsize = outsize
self.alexnet = models.alexnet(pretrained = True)
self.convout = nn.Sequential(
nn.Upsample(48),
nn.Conv2d(in_channels=192, out_channels=192, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(192),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Upsample(48),
nn.Conv2d(in_channels=192, out_channels=96, kernel_size=3, stride= 1, padding=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(96),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.Upsample((self.outsize[0]+3, self.outsize[1]+3)),
nn.Conv2d(in_channels=96, out_channels=1, kernel_size=6, stride= 1, padding=1)
)
def forward(self, x):
x = self.alexnet.features[:5](x)
x = self.convout(x)
y = torch.sigmoid(x)
return y
I used the pretrained model from torchvision.models.alexnet(pretrained=True)
and then replace the last layers with a sequentual layer containing upsampling, convolutional, batchnormalization and rectified linear unit layers to ultimately obtain an output of my desired dimensions. The layers that were replaced with the sequential layer were selected based on their outsize, meaning I only ended up using pretrained layers that kept the images at large enough dimensions (again, to keep enough spatia information). I did this with every model and found that they predicted nice outputs.
Anyways, when all the instances of the models are made, the instance of the ensemble can be made. This is a class that initializes all the instances of the models. For PyTorch, it is done like this:
class MyFinalEnsemble_cpu(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, outsize):
super(MyFinalEnsemble, self).__init__()
"""
This is the ensemble of the SuperModel that is built up of the models (with some having shorter amount of iterations than 50).
The AlexNet 100x, the DenseNet 100x, InceptionV3 100x, ResDeconv 30x, ResNet 100x, SqueezeNet 25x, and VGG 19x."""

Initializing the ensemble
So now that the instances of the models and the the final ensemble are made, the all7models.py
is complete and ready to be used.
In a separate file (I used a jupyter notebook file) in the same directory, I can do:
import all7models
Then I can initialize the ensemble like this:
model = all7models.MyFinalEnsemble(outsize)
model.eval()
model.cuda(device)
And then the model can be used to predict!!

class Redstone
Called when a new instance of the Redstone class is instantiated with. This creates a new ssh client, and loads the commands that the ssh client can execute.
@options {Object}
constructor: (@options) ->
@ssh = new sshclient.SSH @options.ssh
@libs = libs
@libs.loader @, name, args for name,args of @options.commands
Runs a list of commands in sequential order, then executes a callback function, if one is provided
@commands {Array}
@cb {Function}
runCommands: (commands, cb) ->
@libs.runner.runCommands @, commands, cb
Expose the Redstone class as the public API
module.exports = Redstone


This is the documentation for my first bare metal project for the HiFive1 board. The repository is hosted at https://github.com/itmm/hifive-hello.
It is a bit difficult to build a project for the HiFive1 board (see https://wwww.SiFive.com). At least for me. I only use Raspberry Pis (see https://www.raspberrypi.com) to do my development. And the building tools do not support to build on an ARM platform. So I have to do it the hard way.
This document describes how to build the tools needed to program the HiFive1 from scratch on a Rasperry Pi 3B+.
The goal is to make the following C++ program run on the HiFive1 and print the message over the UART.
You can build the program on the Raspberry Pi with the command
If the commando is not working maybe you need to install the C++ compiler with
But that is not working for the HiFive1. The HiFive1 is running a RISC-V processor (see https://www.riscv.org).
So I need a C++ compiler that writes RISC-V assembly. But not only that: the Metal Framework used by SiFive to build examples for the HiFive1 needs special extensions of the RISC-V instruction set to compile. And the toolset to build this augmented compiler is only available for Windows, macOS and Intel-Linux. And it only builds on these platforms.
But the official RISC-V compiler from the RISC-V Foundation can also be build on the Rasperry Pi. And instead of using a multilayered framework I extracted the relevant information to build my example program.
So here are the next steps:
I hope that this story will motivate you to also try to develop for a RISC-V board. It is a cool processor that is not complicated by all the heritage of ARM and Intel designs.
Hopefully we can use it in the future not only on boards for embedded devices but as a replacement for the ARM in Raspberry Pis or similar boards. I love to invest my programming time on open technology and not depend on companies that can crash whole companies on the tweets of totalitarian presidents.
This document was created with hx
(see https://github.com/itmm/hex). It consists of .x
-files that can be converted into a HTML presentation. Also it contains code fragments that are part of the presentation.
The code fragments will also be processed by hx
with a simple macro language to generate the source code that is needed by this project. The generated source code is part of this repository, but only intended for the compiler.
The human users should use the HTML documentation instead. So don't argue about the indentation levels and long functions of the generated code. Only if it is clumpsy, not readable or wrong in the HTML presentation I am willing to change the representation.

To the Magnificent Lorenzo Di Piero De' Medici:
Those who strive to obtain the good graces of a prince are accustomed to come before him with such things as they hold most precious, or in which they see him take most delight; whence one often sees horses, arms, cloth of gold, precious stones, and similar ornaments presented to princes, worthy of their greatness.
Desiring therefore to present myself to your Magnificence with some testimony of my devotion towards you, I have not found among my possessions anything which I hold more dear than, or value so much as, the knowledge of the actions of great men, acquired by long experience in contemporary affairs, and a continual study of antiquity; which, having reflected upon it with great and prolonged diligence, I now send, digested into a little volume, to your Magnificence.
And although I may consider this work unworthy of your countenance, nevertheless I trust much to your benignity that it may be acceptable, seeing that it is not possible for me to make a better gift than to offer you the opportunity of understanding in the shortest time all that I have learnt in so many years, and with so many troubles and dangers; which work I have not embellished with swelling or magnificent words, nor stuffed with rounded periods, nor with any extrinsic allurements or adornments whatever, with which so many are accustomed to embellish their works; for I have wished either that no honour should be given it, or else that the truth of the matter and the weightiness of the theme shall make it acceptable.
Nor do I hold with those who regard it as a presumption if a man of low and humble condition dare to discuss and settle the concerns of princes; because, just as those who draw landscapes place themselves below in the plain to contemplate the nature of the mountains and of lofty places, and in order to contemplate the plains place themselves upon high mountains, even so to understand the nature of the people it needs to be a prince, and to understand that if princes it needs to be of the people.
Take then, your Magnificence, this little gift in the spirit in which I send it; wherein, if it be diligently read and considered by you, you will learn my extreme desire that you should attain that greatness which fortune and your other attributes promise. And if your Magnificence from the summit of your greatness will sometimes turn your eyes to these lower regions, you will see how unmeritedly I suffer a great and continued malignity of fortune.
