DEAD MAN A film review by Ben Combee Copyright 1996 Ben Combee
Jim Jarmusch makes movies. He makes art films. He explores concepts, and he usually does a competent job.
I saw _Mystery Train_ about two years ago and found it interesting, but not too special. _Night on Earth_ sits on my video shelf, but I never found time to watch it.
This evening, I went with my friend John Oakley to see _Dead Man_, Jarmusch's take on the American western. It was playing in the Egyptian room at the Dobie. We got good seats, I MSTed the slide show, and after a couple of previews, the film started.
First thing: it is in black and white. This was a plus. Jarmusch's lighting and composition were perfect for the monochrome medium.
Second thing: it stars Johnny Depp. Mr. Depp always seems to do excellent in B&W films. _Ed Wood_ was the most recent example. In _Dead Man_, he plays William Blake, an accountant from Cleveland. He plays the character well, showing real emotional growth.
The title is quite appropriate, although a plural form might have been better. There are many deaths in the film, most from bullet wounds. Almost every major character dies. Shakespeare did it, so why change the formula?
Two elements of the film really grabbed me. One was Jarmusch's use of fade-to-black to represent the passage of time. These fades were frequently and consistently used, and they produced a neat, unifying effect. During the occasional recollection scenes, he negated the fade, going to white to indicate a memory.
The second element was the dialogue. The first half of the film was quite dialogue heavy. While not exactly Tarentinoesque, the conversations reminded me of a Western _Pulp Fiction_. There were some very funny lines. The second half wasn't as colorful and the conversations were scarce, mainly due to the lack of characters. It became more abstract and surreal, but still poignant.
This is an important film. It ranks very highly on my list of films for 1996, up there with _Fargo_ and _My Flower of the Secret_.
On the Combee scale of [-4..+4], it gets a +4.

Write a class TempTracker that tracks the max, min, mean, and mode of temperature values as they are inserted into the tracker. This class should have the following methods:
Favor speeding up the get methods over the insert method. Aim to get each of the get methods down to constant runtime.
getMean() should return a float. The rest of the methods can return integers. Temperatures should be recorded in Fahrenheit, so we can assume a range of 0 to 140.
If there is more than one mode, return any of the modes.
Analyze the time and space complexity of the methods in your solution.

Taliban Confirms Meetings With US Have Begun: Reuters
Informal meetings have begun in Doha, say Taliban officials.
by News AgenciesUS President Trump on Thursday made an unannounced trip to Afghanistan where he celebrated the US holiday Thanksgiving with troops and met with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.
Speaking to the media, Trump said that meetings with the Taliban had been reestablished.
“The Taliban wants to make a deal and we are meeting with them,” Trump told reporters on Thursday.
“We say it has to be a ceasefire and they didn’t want to do a ceasefire and now they want to do a ceasefire, I believe. It will probably work out that way.”
In response, Taliban leaders told Reuters that the group has been meeting with U.S. officials in Doha since last weekend, and they believe that formal peace talks could resume soon.
Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said the group was “ready to restart the talks” that were scuttled in early September after a Taliban blast in Kabul killed twelve people, including an American, and Trump declared the process “dead.”
Mujahid told Reuters: “Our stance is still the same. If peace talks start, it will be resumed from the stage where it had stopped.”
“We are hoping that Trump’s visit to Afghanistan will prove that he is serious to start talks again. We don’t think he has not much of a choice,” said a senior Taliban commander to Reuters, on condition of anonymity.

You must import the plotting libraries and get some historical data to create candlestick charts.
In this example, you create a candlestick chart that shows the open, high, low, and close prices of one of the banking securities. Follow these steps to create the candlestick chart:
Symbol
.symbol = symbols[0]
history
DataFrame
with the symbol
.data = history.loc[symbol]
data
into days with positive returns and days with negative returns.up_days = data[data['close'] > data['open']] down_days = data[data['open'] > data['close']]
figure
function with a title, axis labels and x-axis type.plot = figure(title=f"{symbol} OHLC", x_axis_label='Date', y_axis_label='Price', x_axis_type='datetime')
segment
method with the data
timestamps, high prices, low prices, and a color.plot.segment(data.index, data['high'], data.index, data['low'], color="black")
This method call plots the candlestick wicks.
vbar
method for the up and down days with the data
timestamps, open prices, close prices, and a color.width = 12*60*60*1000 plot.vbar(up_days.index, width, up_days['open'], up_days['close'],
fill_color="green", line_color="green") plot.vbar(down_days.index, width, down_days['open'], down_days['close'],
fill_color="red", line_color="red")
This method call plots the candlestick bodies.
show
function.show(plot)
The Jupyter Notebook displays the candlestick chart.


At around 9 in my room, in almost darkness, straight after having the K I smoked (quickly) the Salvia in my bong. I lay back and what happened was incredible.
I was rolled up into a line, which was then rolled up into a point (which was everything in the universe at once). From there I was shown (by 'god') how the entire universe was unfolded and how each person is an extension of a far greater 'hyper' being. This all happened in about 3 minutes. As it finished I found myself in my room again, rather stunned, but feeling fine (with normal K effects again). It left me feeling very happy about myself, as I am now not afraid of death, having had the very strong feeling of being part of better, greater being.
I will do it again, probably tonight, as I felt that more would have allowed me to move around and interact more with the higher dimension I was in. Before I was only in it observing the normal world and being able to affect that, but not the 'space' I was in. I also feel that 'god' was trying to explain something more to me and I wanna know what it is.
PS: I am not an experienced tripper, having only been taking drugs for a couple of years.

Rollup bundling
Overview
The versions of Rollup and Uglify are controlled by the Bazel toolchain. You do not need to install them into your project.
write_rollup_config
write_rollup_config(ctx, plugins, root_dir, filename, output_format, additional_entry_points)
Generate a rollup config file.
This is also used by the ng_rollup_bundle and ng_package rules in @angular/bazel.
Returns: The rollup config file. See https://rollupjs.org/guide/en#configuration-files
Attributes
ctx |
Bazel rule execution context |
plugins |
extra plugins (defaults to []) See the ng_rollup_bundle in @angular/bazel for example of usage. |

rollup_bundle
rollup_bundle(name, deps, srcs, additional_entry_points, entry_point, global_name, globals, license_banner, node_modules)
Produces several bundled JavaScript files using Rollup and Uglify.
Load it with
load("@build_bazel_rules_nodejs//:defs.bzl", "rollup_bundle")
It performs this work in several separate processes:
- Call rollup on the original sources
- Downlevel the resulting code to es5 syntax for older browsers
- Minify the bundle with Uglify, possibly with pretty output for human debugging.
The default output of a rollup_bundle
rule is the non-debug-minified es5 bundle.
However you can request one of the other outputs with a dot-suffix on the target's name.
For example, if your rollup_bundle
is named my_rollup_bundle
, you can use one of these labels:
To request the ES2015 syntax (e.g. class
keyword) without downleveling or minification, use the :my_rollup_bundle.es6.js
label.
To request the ES5 downleveled bundle without minification, use the :my_rollup_bundle.js
label
To request the debug-minified es5 bundle, use the :my_rollup_bundle.min_debug.js
label.
To request a UMD-bundle, use the :my_rollup_bundle.umd.js
label.
To request a CommonJS bundle, use the :my_rollup_bundle.cjs.js
label.
You can also request an analysis from source-map-explorer by buildng the :my_rollup_bundle.explore.html
label.
However this is currently broken for rollup_bundle
ES5 mode because we use tsc for downleveling and
it doesn't compose the resulting sourcemaps with an input sourcemap.
See https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/issues/175
For debugging, note that the rollup.config.js
and uglify.config.json
files can be found in the bazel-bin folder next to the resulting bundle.
An example usage can be found in https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_nodejs/tree/master/internal/e2e/rollup
Attributes
name |
A unique name for this rule. |
deps |
Other rules that produce JavaScript outputs, such as |
srcs |
JavaScript source files from the workspace. These can use ES2015 syntax and ES Modules (import/export) |
additional_entry_points |

|
entry_point |
The starting point of the application, passed as the |
global_name |
A name given to this package when referenced as a global variable.
This name appears in the bundle module incantation at the beginning of the file,
and governs the global symbol added to the global context (e.g.
|
globals |
A dict of symbols that reference external scripts.
The keys are variable names that appear in the program,
and the values are the symbol to reference at runtime in a global context (UMD bundles).
For example, a program referencing @angular/core should use ng.core
as the global reference, so Angular users should include the mapping

license_banner |
A .txt file passed to the |
node_modules |
Dependencies from npm that provide some modules that must be resolved by rollup.

--- layout: post tags: [Languages, F#] date: 2012-07-25 09:05:09 UTC title: "FizzBuzz kata in F#: stage 2" description: "A walk-through of stage 2 of the FizzBuzz kata done in F#." permalink: /2012/07/25/FizzBuzzkatainFstage2 --- {% include JB/setup %}
In my previous post I walked you through stage 1 of the FizzBuzz kata. In this post I'll walk you through stage 2 of the kata, where new requirements are introduced (see the kata itself for details). This makes the implementation much more complex.
In order to meet the new requirements, I first modified and expanded my existing test cases:
[<Theory>] [<InlineData(1, "1")>] [<InlineData(2, "2")>] [<InlineData(3, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(4, "4")>] [<InlineData(5, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(6, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(7, "7")>] [<InlineData(8, "8")>] [<InlineData(9, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(10, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(11, "11")>] [<InlineData(12, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(13, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(14, "14")>] [<InlineData(15, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(16, "16")>] [<InlineData(17, "17")>] [<InlineData(18, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(19, "19")>] [<InlineData(20, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(30, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(31, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(32, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(33, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(34, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(35, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(36, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(37, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(38, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(39, "Fizz")>] [<InlineData(50, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(51, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(52, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(53, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(54, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(55, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(56, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(57, "FizzBuzz")>] [<InlineData(58, "Buzz")>] [<InlineData(59, "Buzz")>] let FizzBuzzReturnsCorrectResult number expected = number |> FizzBuzz |> should equal expected
This is the same test code as before, only with new or modified test data.
Compared with the stage 1 implementation, my implementation to meet the new requirements is much more complex. First, I'll post the entire code listing and then walk you through the details:
let FizzBuzz number = let arithmeticFizzBuzz number = seq { if number % 3 = 0 then yield "Fizz" if number % 5 = 0 then yield "Buzz" } let digitalFizzBuzz digit = seq { if digit = 3 then yield "Fizz" if digit = 5 then yield "Buzz" } let rec digitize number = seq { yield number % 10 let aTenth = number / 10 if aTenth >= 1 then yield! digitize aTenth } let arithmeticFizzBuzzes = number |> arithmeticFizzBuzz let digitalFizzBuzzes = number |> digitize |> Seq.collect digitalFizzBuzz let fizzOrBuzz = arithmeticFizzBuzzes |> Seq.append digitalFizzBuzzes |> Seq.distinct |> Seq.toArray |> Array.sort |> Array.rev |> String.Concat if fizzOrBuzz = "" then number.ToString() else fizzOrBuzz
First of all, you may wonder where the original implementation went. According to the requirements, the function must still 'Fizz' or 'Buzz' when a number is divisible by 3 or 5. This is handled by the nested arithmeticFizzBuzz function:
let arithmeticFizzBuzz number = seq { if number % 3 = 0 then yield "Fizz" if number % 5 = 0 then yield "Buzz" }
The seq symbol specifies a sequence expression, which means that everything within the curly brackets is expected to produce parts of a sequence. It works a bit like the yield keyword in C#.
Due to F#'s strong type inference, the type of the function is int -> seq<string>, which means that it takes an integer as input and returns a sequence of strings. In C# an equivalent signature would be IEnumerable<string> arithmeticFizzBuzz(int number). This function produces a sequence of strings depending on the input.
That doesn't quite sound like the original requirements, but the trick will be to concatenate the strings. Thus, an empty sequence will be "", "Fizz" will be "Fizz", "Buzz" will be "Buzz", but "Fizz" and "Buzz" will become "FizzBuzz".
The digitalFizzBuzz function works in much the same way, but expects only a single digit.
let digitalFizzBuzz digit = seq { if digit = 3 then yield "Fizz" if digit = 5 then yield "Buzz" }
In order to be able to apply the new rule of Fizzing and Buzzing if a digit is 3 or 5, it's necessary to split a number into digits. This is done by the recursive digitize function:
let rec digitize number = seq { yield number % 10 let aTenth = number / 10 if aTenth >= 1 then yield! digitize aTenth }
This function works recursively by first yielding the rest of a division by 10, and then calling itself recursively with a tenth of the original number. Since the number is an integer, the division simply still produces an integer. The function produces a sequence of digits, but in a sort of backwards way.
This provides all the building blocks. To get the arithmetic (original) FizzBuzzes, the number is piped into the arithmeticFizzBuzz function:
let arithmeticFizzBuzzes = number |> arithmeticFizzBuzz
In order to get the digital (new) FizzBuzzes, the number is first piped into the digitize function, and the resulting sequence of digits is then piped to the digitalFizzBuzz function by way of the Seq.collection function.
let digitalFizzBuzzes = number
|> digitize
|> Seq.collect digitalFizzBuzz
The Seq.collect function is a built-in function that takes a sequence of elements (in this case a sequence of digits) and for each element calls a method that produces a sequence of elements, and then concatenates all the produced sequences. As an example, consider the number 53.
Calling digitize with the number 53 produces the sequence { 3; 5 }. Calling digitalFizzBuzz with 3 produces the sequence { "Fizz" } and calling digitalFizzBuzz with 5 produces { "Buzz" }. Seq.collect concatenates these two sequences to produce the single sequence { "Fizz"; "Buzz" }.
Now we have two sequences of "Fizz" or "Buzz" strings - one produced by the old, arithmetic function, and one produced by the new, digital function. These two sequences can now be merged and ordered with the purpose of producing a single string:
let fizzOrBuzz = arithmeticFizzBuzzes
|> Seq.append digitalFizzBuzzes
|> Seq.distinct
|> Seq.toArray
|> Array.sort
|> Array.rev
|> String.Concat
First, the Seq.append function simply concatenates the two sequences into a single sequence. This could potentially result in a sequence like this: { "Fizz"; "Buzz"; "Fizz" }. The Seq.distinct function gets rid of the duplicates, but the ordering may be wrong - the sequence may look like this: { "Buzz"; "Fizz" }. This can be fixed by sorting the sequence, but sorting alphabetically would always put "Buzz" before "Fizz" so it's also necessary to reverse the sequence. There's no function in the Seq module which can reverse a sequence, so first the Seq.toArray function is used to convert the sequence to an array. After sorting and reversing the array, the result is one of four arrays: [], [ "Fizz" ], [ "Buzz" ], or [ "Fizz"; "Buzz" ]. The last step is to concatenate these string arrays to a single string using the String.Concat BCL method.
If there were no Fizzes or Buzzes, the string will be empty, in which case the number is converted to a string and returned; otherwise, the fizzOrBuzz string is returned.
if fizzOrBuzz = "" then number.ToString() else fizzOrBuzz
To print the FizzBuzz list for numbers from 1 to 100 the same solution as before can be used.
What I like about Functional Programming is that data just flows through the function. There's not state and no mutation - only operations on sequences of data.

This method is needed because the application class path can theoretically change, or additional plug-ins may become available. Rather than re-scanning the classpath on every invocation of the API, the class path is scanned automatically only on the first invocation. Clients can call this method to prompt a re-scan. Thus this method need only be invoked by sophisticated applications which dynamically make new plug-ins available at runtime.

When reading from a standard InputStream
>, it
may be necessary to save previously read information in a cache
since the underlying stream does not allow data to be re-read.
Similarly, when writing to a standard
OutputStream
, a cache may be used to allow a
previously written value to be changed before flushing it to
the final destination.
The cache may reside in main memory or on disk. Setting
this flag to false
disallows the use of disk for
future streams, which may be advantageous when working with
small images, as the overhead of creating and destroying files
is removed.

filesize.js provides a simple way to get a human readable file size string from a number (float or integer) or string.
filesize()
accepts an optional descriptor Object as a second argument, so you can customize the output.
*(number)* Number base, default is 2
*(boolean)* Enables bit
sizes, default is false
*(number)* Specifies the symbol via exponent, e.g. 2
is MB
for base 2, default is -1
*(boolean)* Enables full form of unit of measure, default is false
*(array)* Array of full form overrides, default is []
*(string)* Output of function (array
, exponent
, object
, or string
), default is string
*(number)* Decimal place, default is 2
*(string)* Character between the result
and suffix
, default is " "
*(string)* Standard unit of measure, can be iec
or jedec
, default is jedec
; can be overruled by base
*(object)* Dictionary of SI/JEDEC symbols to replace for localization, defaults to english if no match is found
*(object)* Dictionary of SI/JEDEC symbols to replace for localization, defaults to english if no match is found
*(boolean)* Enables unix style human readable output, e.g ls -lh
, default is false
javascript
filesize(500); // "500 B"
filesize(500, {bits: true}); // "4 Kb"
filesize(265318, {base: 10}); // "265.32 kB"
filesize(265318); // "259.1 KB"
filesize(265318, {round: 0}); // "259 KB"
filesize(265318, {output: "array"}); // [259.1, "KB"]
filesize(265318, {output: "object"}); // {value: 259.1, suffix: "KB", symbol: "KB"}
filesize(1, {symbols: {B: "Б"}}); // "1 Б"
filesize(1024); // "1 KB"
filesize(1024, {exponent: 0}); // "1024 B"
filesize(1024, {output: "exponent"}); // 1
filesize(265318, {standard: "iec"}); // "259.1 KiB"
filesize(265318, {standard: "iec", fullform: true}); // "259.1 kibibytes"
filesize(12, {fullform: true, fullforms: ["байтов"]}); // "12 байтов"
filesize.partial()
takes the second parameter of filesize()
and returns a new function with the configuration applied
upon execution. This can be used to reduce Object
creation if you call filesize()
without caching the descriptor
in lexical scope.
```javascript const size = filesize.partial({standard: “iec”});
size(265318); // “259.1 KiB” ```
filesize.js supports AMD loaders (require.js, curl.js, etc.), node.js & npm (npm install filesize
), or using a script tag.

Evaluations needs to be planned and the 4Es might be a good framework and you need to close the loop from asking questions, getting answers to drawing conclusions.
<!– more –>
Performance measurement measures outputs to compare to desired outcomes. Performance management uses performance measurement to intervene. Evaluation looks at both from several perspectives to find need for further actions.
There is a strategic and operation evaluation with both focussing either on outcomes or processes. Evaluation involves looking at the interests of several stakeholders inline with operational performance or strategic development.
These can be done to make you look good and as good management practice. Some evaluations have no real purpose but otherwise they will be about: - Learning - Proving (Efficiency) - Improving - Controlling (Effectiveness)
What criteria? When evaluating intervention look at goals originally set: "Is it working as we had intended." These have to be concrete and fit for measurements. If you are only looking at goals you are preventing finding out about the effects. Also, one stakeholder might be happy with the outcome but others might not.
This is where Scriven’s approach of goal-free/needs-based evaluation comes in. 1. Less likely to miss unanticipated outcomes 2. More open for negatives 3. Remove goals bias 4. Maintain objectivity and independence.
Scriven’s noted that the less an external evaluator knows about the goals, the less tunnel vision he will have. You normally need to take the original objective into account though.
To set meaningful goals: - distinguish between outcome goals and activities - Outcome goals should be clearly outcome oriented - finding out if desired outcome has not been attained needs to be possible. - Goals and objectives should be understandable - Separate goals from indicators - don’t borrow another organisation’s goals
Illuminative evaluation is another method which is not connected to a goal and more there to check understanding of a situation. The first stop is normally a concern and then you draw views and info together. From there you move on to clarification focussing down on the specifics for new understanding. This form of evaluation might be contested though as it does not rely on facts. Facilitation is important.
Who is the evaluation for? Difference between performance measurements and evaluation is the focus on doing it for specific stakeholders. You need to: - Report positive and negative - look at possible short time positives that are negative for the long term - look at (harmful) indirect affects on other stakeholder groups
Who should do the evaluation? Some by management and others by specialists which depends on: - Accountability to others - Insufficient expertise inside - Controversial subject
You need to choose for technical as well as personal skills and credibility. Remember that evaluations cost money, both direct (data processing and consumables) and indirect (staff time) and possibly opportunity costs.
How to do it? For collecting data you have several sources (B18P27): - Record keeping - Archival data - Benchmark data - Questionnaire surveys
Patton has created an utilisation-focused outcomes framework: 1. Client target group 2. desired outcome(s) for the target group 3. One or more indicators for each desired outcome 4. Performance targets 5. Details of data collection 6. How the results will be used
Economic evaluation aim to clarify, quantify and value all the relevant options, their inputs and consequences. For a cost-benefit analysis you need to make in/out values monetary to compare. Cost-effectiveness will use a common measurement for outputs (e.g. lives saved) which leads to a money per unit level.
When doing your evaluations, make sure your data is unbiased and you have co-operation by the staff. There are several influences on the evaluation though: 1. Evaluator characteristics 2. User characteristics 3. Contextual characteristics 4. Evaluation characteristics

Description:
In its 1994 Regional Assessment of Water Quality in the Rio Grande Basin, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission made two recommendations for further research and policy development: 1) an improved understanding of water issues as they relate to the binational border dynamic and 2) development of lasting links across the U.S.-Mexico border. The project unites critical information on water, population, economics, and ecology in an approach that will assist managers and policy decision makers to plan for sustainable management of the binational watershed. The objectives are:- To develop, compare and integrate reliable, comparable watershed-based data sets for the Lower Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Basin.
- To analyze water resource issues as critical factors for achieving sustainable development in this type of watershed.
- To engage researchers, policymakers, and the civic community to help answer the questions, "What is needed to make development in the binational watershed more sustainable? And how will we get there?"
As the task force began developing their baseline scenarios for water supply and demand, water quality, water management, socioeconomic factors, and ecology, we determined that we will need more extensive analyses of agriculture, tributaries, and groundwater. In addition, we also need to include a greater diversity of participants in the workshops. The GIS team has produced preliminary maps for the research project, however, there are large gaps in data availability and reliability on the Mexican side. The surveys are stimulating great interest locally because they depart from traditional research methods and people enjoy involvement. The binational task force will meet in February to discuss baseline scenarios. The first future scenario, drought conditions, will be explored in 1997. The first workshop will also be held in 1997, involving civic leaders, water managers, non-profit organizations, and the private sector to rank threats and risks to water and development in the watershed.

Following examples presents different modes of the Select control. Use [fdCompact]
directive to
explicitly set compact mode.
Select with Two Columns
Select with two columns of information. Note that a secondaryKey
and ShowSecondaryText
is
required. firstColumnRatio
and SecondColoumnRatio
will help to set required width ratio
for each columns by default ratio is 3:2 which is equal to 60%:40%.
Select Semantic States
Use semantic states to visually highlight current state
of the Select. Use
[fdCompact]
directive to explicitly set compact mode.
Custom Control Content With AutoResize
The content of the Select control can be customized using a custom template which needs to be referenced in the
[controlTemplate]
input. Select provides the following context values to the template:
- Text value of selected option -
implicit
- Reference to selected option -
selected
Selected option as a context to custom template. Setting [AutoResize]=true
with no specific width helps
to resize the select control based on option selected.
Select In Mobile Mode
To use Select in mobile mode:
- Set
[mobile]
property to true
-
Set
[mobileConfig]
with MobileModeConfig
configuration object to customize the
look of the control
Select Mobile Mode can be configured globally by providing MOBILE_MODE_CONFIG
token.
Check Global Configuration page for more
information.
Select Max Height
The Select component allows you to define the [maxHeight]
. It can be useful when there are a lot of
options given that the select body is be scrollable. By default the maximum height of the Select body is 45% of the
browser's inner window height.
No Value Select
The Select component with[noValueLabel]
helps user to move to no value selected state.
Do not Wrap the Options
We use noWrapText= true
by which long text in options won't get wrapped on overflow. They get truncated
with ellipsis.
Select In A Reactive Form
The Select component can be used inside Angular reactive forms.

Poppy bin bandits arrested in Langley
A man and woman were both taken into custody after a video of donation box thefts were released
by Roxanne HooperA pair of suspected poppy bandits are in custody after a video of the thieves stealing donation trays from a Langley coffee shop were shared with media yesterday.
“Langley’s had a number of thefts of poppy boxes. I’m not exactly sure of the number,” said Langley RCMP Sgt. Barry Beales.
“But there’s been at least five or six that have been reported to us,” he said, noting the thefts have been scattered throughout the community.
One shop in Murrayville, in particular, was hit at least three times – The Joy of Coffee, in Murrayville Square.
Thanks to video surveillance from that shop, Mounties were able to hone in their investigation on two suspects – both individuals who are know to local Mounties – and arrests were made, Beales said.
“It certainly has worked its magic,” the sargeant said of the video, noting release of the video lead to the arrests based on tips from the public.
A woman was arrested Friday night, and later released on conditions.
“We can’t keep them very long,” Beales said.
Since then, a man has also been arrested, and as of Saturday afternoon she remained in custody, the pair suspected in as many as half a dozen poppy bin thefts in Langley in as many days.
THEFT SEVERAL YEARS BACK: Langley thrift store poppy donation box stolen
The investigation, he explained, is ongoing.
The poppy bins are typically situated near cash registers, encouraging the public to easily deposit a donation into a slot and take a poppy, and Beales doesn’t know if there’s any easy way to better safeguard against such thefts.
“That’s the way it’s been for generations,” Beales added, fearing that “one bad apple seems to have put a real wrench in things. In this case, we had two bad apples that seem to have done – I’m not sure they’ve done then all, but if I was a betting man I’d say all the ones that we’ve had reported are because of two people.”
He acknowledged the theft of these donation boxes has hit a cord with the community.
“This is something near and dear to the public,” he added, grateful for the public’s help in catching the suspected thieves.
Langley RCMP’s Cpl. Craig van Herk, who helped put out the plea on Friday for help, was elated to hear news that arrests had been made.
“I’m super excited if we have someone in custody for it,” van Herk shared Saturday afternoon.
“All of the sudden, I’m in a better mood. I’m not going to lie. Yesterday when I came in and I was going to talk about it, I was already mad,” he said, disappointed that there always seems to be some predator out there victimizing those who are trying help our community’s most vulnerable.
“When I heard this was happening again, I was so angry,” van Herk elaborated. “It’s gross… You might as well be going out and pushing one of our veterans over and taking it straight from them. It’s one of those things that makes me so…” he paused and growled. “But now [knowing] that we have someone in custody, that’s awesome.”

Kocca Korean Mobile Content Forum: Think Big - what works on mobile
Mitch Lazar, VP biz dev, Yahoo Europe
Shows a promotional video for Yahoo: lots of techno and phone screens (hmm: inverse relationship between BPM of soundtrack and superficial user experience of product?).
"We are at an amazing inflection point": devices, pricing schemes and network speed. The online ad business took off in 88/89 - we're about 10 years behind the fixed internet and 2008/9 will be the big years for mobile ads. "Lots of eyeballs".
People are online in different ways: rise of social networking. Online ad spend is growing in its own right to a small extent, but most growth is due to offline spending moving online. As agencies get comfortable spending money online, they'll get more comfortable spending on mobile.
Why mobile advertising?
- Reach (bit of a "because it's there" argument: there are lots of toothbrushes, but this doesn't make them a great ad medium);
- Core audience of 16-24s being strong mobile users; as these guys age, we'll see their habits spread: multi-tasking through different media, increasing comfort with pull rather than push media, etc.
Communication is evolving, and mobile is at the heart of these changes. Older media businesses need to change: PC content doesn't always work well on mobile; mobile applications so far have just been extensions of PC experiences (e.g. Yahoo! oneSearch: millions of links aren't what you want on mobile). Interestingly, the top list of results in an example Mitch gives has web sites quite a way down the list: this isn't a search of online content as much as it is a directory search. Implication: web sites aren't what you want on the move (or at least, most of them aren't your top priority).
Rule 2: keep it simple. Yahoo! Go "puts the internet in your pocket" (lots of people seem to be claiming this at the moment). In my experience, Go is really monolithic: when I tried it (yonks back, admittedly), I found it a little frightening to overlay a whole heap of Yahoo! services (most of which I didn't use) onto my handset.
Rule 3: make money. Global figures from 2006: $871m mobile advertising, $24b internet advertising, $450b all advertising. Hmm, so mobile is currently <0.2% ad spend, internet 5.3%.
"No media survives without advertising": except public broadcasting.
Very ad-driven, understandably given that's how Yahoo! exist.
"Mobile is differenet, keep it simple, make money": all true, all realistic, but none particularly insightful.

How this Dashboard Was Built
This Corona virus dashboard was built using the DreamFactory iPaaS solution and Tabulator JavaScript library. DreamFactory streamlines the time and effort required to integrate data stored within sources such as databases, file systems, IoT devices, and even mainframe computers by generating well-defined, well-documented, secure, and scalable APIs.
The DreamFactory platform is used by thousands of organizations around the globe, and is particularly popular in industries such as banking, logistics, manufacturing, and software services. Companies typically run the platform in their cloud (AWS, Azure, etc.) or within their own data center, however many take advantage of the hosted offering.
This particular DreamFactory-backed dashboard was built in approximately 90 minutes, including domain name registration, DNS configuration, and website configuration (on Digital Ocean). The project source code is available via GitHub.

Executes asynchronous, parameterless functions in sequence.
When a function is enqueued in a SequentialExecutor, it will be called
after the promise returned by the previous function has been finished (i.e., resolved or rejected).
This means that functions called via a SequentialExecutor are executed mutual exclusive
and cannot inflict race conditions over each other.

John Tinker Trail
The John Tinker Trail is a ¼ mile long trail in Rich State Forest that was designed to allow anyone to use it regardless of any mobility impairments. The trail meanders through the woods on a smooth and firm surface. It is flat, has benches at both ends, and has two rest areas with benches that provide lovely views of the Nashua River Oxbow along the way. A handicap accessible picnic table at the end provides a comfortable place to rest and enjoy a beautiful view of the Oxbow and the many birds that frequent the area. There is a parking area with handicap (van accessible) parking spots located at the trailhead, which is on the north side of Nod Rd., approximately ½ mile ENE from Rte. 119 where it crosses the Nashua River.

Setting a global standard for leadership in action: Read Ashesi's 2020 Annual Report
30th July 2021 | By: Patrick Awuah
Dear Friends,
It is my pleasure to present
Ashesi’s 2020 Annual Report, which details the challenges and triumphs our community experienced in a year unlike any other.
In March of 2020, Ashesi students were among the first in Africa to resume their learning, thanks to work we started over a decade
ago to move our learning and community systems online.
Our faculty have continued to work together with students since then to develop and deploy new methods of instruction; university
administrators also helped ensure that all necessary tools, resources and support systems were in place to support the transition.
Donors, friends and advocates stepped up to welcome students into their homes as we went on lockdown; helped fund emergency
financial aid for disadvantaged students; and enabled Ashesi to support incomes for all auxiliary staff who would have otherwise
been out of work with campus closed. Also importantly, we pressed on with our annual Education Collaborative, convening university
leaders and stakeholders across Africa and the world with a special focus on the pandemic and successful strategies for ensuring
effective learning during and beyond 2020.
The lessons of 2020 and the leadership gaps in Africa’s social and economic infrastructure that they have reminded the world of,
bring even more urgency to our work. For the last two decades we have steadily grown our capability to educate ethical,
entrepreneurial leaders on the continent. The pandemic’s test of our institution, and the Ashesi community’s exemplary response
to it, indicate how grounded our model has become. The work that continues to happen at Ashesi, and the gains made since our very
first class began in 2002, will be key to deepening our impact as we enter Ashesi’s third decade.
Earlier this year, I read a story that deeply reminded me of the power of cumulative effort – sometimes over several decades –
to create a breakthrough for global challenges. It was the story of Katalin Karikó, a Hungarian-born researcher who had put her
career on the line for nearly four decades trying to harness the power of messenger RNA (mRNA). Karikó persisted through personal
crises, career setback, and a lack of belief from the scientific community in her ideas. In 2020, her research work was seminal to
the development of Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech’s highly effective COVID-19 vaccines. Karikó reminds me of many within the Ashesi
community - faculty, administrators, alumni and students – who have been engaged in quiet, diligent work to transform Africa.
These efforts are establishing a foundation for the future success of the young leaders we are working with today. When Africa’s
tipping point arrives, and the continent emerges as a stronger force for good in the world, we will look back at these years of
work as having made an immense difference. This Annual Report highlights some of the Ashesi stories that have inspired me this year,
and I hope they inspire you as well. I am thankful to everyone who is with us on this journey, and the continued support that makes
Ashesi’s work possible.
In the spirit of Ashesi,
Patrick Awuah.

Project Part 2
Data & Analysis
To figure out the smart Airbnb’s price strategy, it is important to compare Airbnb’s price with the hotel price in an area and to know when Airbnb has price advantages. In the following graph, Airbnb’s mean price in a certain region, hotel’s minimum price and mean price in a certain region were picked as variables, since we want to learn the price distribution of Airbnb and hotels.
Compared with the hotel, Airbnb’s price concentrates more near $100 and $200. It shows that one of the reasons that customers choose Airbnb is its price advantages. When price going up, customers who can afford high price accommodations might choose a hotel, since it could provide better amenities and services.
When exploring the correlation between different variables, the number of nearby hotels, hotel’s mean price and Airbnb’s mean price were chosen as targets. From the above graph, it is shown that the hotel’s mean price has a relatively strong positive relation with Airbnb’s mean price, since their correlation coefficient is 0.59.
In addition, Airbnb’s mean price also has a strong positive relation with the number of hotels and the correlation coefficient is 0.57. At last, the hotel’s mean price and the number of hotels have relatively weak coefficient comparing with the other two pairs which is 0.37, but it is still a positive correlation between two variables. In conclusion, Airbnb mean price, hotel mean price and number of hotels have positive relationship.
In this graph, we want to analyze the correlation how number of Airbnb, restaurant, hotel will affect Airbnb’s mean price. From the graph, number of Airbnb at certain area have the least correlation which is 0.11 comparing with other three variables. It indicates number of Airbnb at certain area will not affect certain area’s Airbnb mean price. Also, number of hotel and restaurant will spur the mean price of Airbnb at certain area. In addition, number of Airbnb are hardly affected by other three variables because of the low correlation coefficient.
The Violin chart that compares prices among various room types indicats the entire room apparently has higher values of quantitles than others. The similarity of violin shape between Private and Shared rooms implies that their prices density distriutions are similar.
Even though the numbers of accomodates and guest included play a part in airbnb Pricing, the 3D plot of prices show there doesn't exit a linearly relationship between prices and those factors for all kinds of room types.


Fully booked: I'm booked solid for development and consulting for the next several months. Still, if you would like to get in touch please do so!
A little room: I have limited availability starting around September solid for development and consulting work. If you would like to get in touch please do so!
