It is a regular and systematic checking of the supplies received by the end users against the targeted quantity given in the planning documents. It enables improvements in both supply planning and procurement.
POLIO
Rhizome Polio Team
Polio is a highly infectious disease with no cure. It mainly affects children who are younger than five years old. The virus of polio can cause paralysis by destroying the nervous system. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) was launched in 1988, by WHO, Rotary International, CDC and UNICEF. By immunising children with effective vaccines, more than 99 percent of polio cases have been reduced; more than 10 million children have been saved from being paralysed.
Every Last Child Official TrailerToday, Polio remains endemic in just three countries - Nigeria, Pakistan, Afghanistan. To eradicate polio worldwide, UNICEF is building Rhizome, a real-time data platform to be used by GPEI employees at all levels. Rhizome platform collects data from lowest possible level by allowing users to enter data via web form. After data has been aggregated, Rhizome platform can visualise the data for district, country and leadership level managers. With Rhizome, UNICEF have more comprehensive access to immunisation campaign related data. Rhizome is also an open source software. The future version of Rhizome will be suitable for any other similar data.

Oman's first integrated land port deal inked
by Times News ServiceMuscat: An agreement has been signed to establish the first integrated land port in the Sultanate.
The Minister of Transport said in a statement, "The signing of the agreement to establish the first integrated land port, in partnership between the public and private sectors, will be an important link between the various seaports and commercial, industrial and economic areas in the Sultanate as a result of the growth of shipping and maritime traffic witnessed in the ports of the Sultanate."
Khazaen Economic City (KEC) signed an investment agreement with a number of leading logistics companies to operate and manage the dry port in the economic city of Al Batinah South Governorate.
The terms of the agreement include the right for Marafi, Khimji Ramdas and Al Madina Logistics Services to lease a total of 250,000 sqm of land of which 100,000 sqm will be developed and managed in the first stage with an initial investment cost of $10 million.
Dr Ahmed Al Futaisi said, “We are looking forward to the new dry port's contribution to speed up the movement of containers and cargo, reducing the total cost of outbound and inbound goods and to provide container maintenance services.”
Khalid Al Balushi, CEO of Khazaen Economic City, said, “The dry port project is a true example of how the private sector could positively contribute in the development and growth of the logistic sector in Oman.”


This post explains how to build a basic waffle chart with R and the waffle package. It provides several reproducible examples with explanation and R code.
waffle
packageThe waffle package is the best way to build a waffle chart in R. You can read more about this package on its github page. Something important to note is that you can’t install it directly from the CRAN. Instead, use this command line:
install.packages("waffle", repos = "https://cinc.rud.is")
There are 2 main ways to build a waffle chart using this library:
geom_waffle
geom inside a
ggplot2
call
waffle()
functionWe will focus on the second option in this blogpost.
The waffle function accepts 2 kinds of input: a vector or a data frame.
Let’s start with a first example based on a vector input. The
vector is a list of values. Each value will be represented as a
set of rectangles. The rows
argument controls how
many rows will be displayed on the chart.
By default, categories will be labeled A, B, C.. and so on. We will see later how to customize this.
# Load the library
library(waffle)
# Vector
<- c(30, 25, 20, 5)
x
# Waffle chart
waffle(x, rows = 8)
We can also build a waffle plot from a data frame.
Here a simple example with pizza topings.
The data frame requires 2 columns: the first one provides the labels, the second the quantities of each group.
# install.packages("waffle", repos = "https://cinc.rud.is")
library(waffle)
# Creating a simple data frame
<- data.frame(
mypizza ingredients = c("Cheese","Tomatoes","Mushroom","Pepperoni"),
vals = c(30, 25, 20, 5)
)
waffle(mypizza)
The waffle function allows a lot of customization to make the graphic more pleasant. In this example:
title
attribute)size
colors
)
legend_pos
)
library(waffle)
# Creating a simple data frame
<- data.frame(
mypizza ingredients = c("Cheese","Tomatoes","Mushroom","Pepperoni"),
vals = c(30, 25, 20, 5)
)
waffle(mypizza,
rows = 7, # Numbers of rows
size = 1, # width of the separator between blocks
colors = c("#E8D630", "#FF0000", "#582900","#A91101"), # Colors of each group
legend_pos = "bottom", # Position of the legend
title = "Most popular toppings on a pizza" # Title
)
That’s a very quick introduction to waffle charts with R using the
waffle
package. There is much more you can do using this
package, so feel free to visit the
waffle section of the gallery tp
browse more examples.

This project is an application skeleton for a typical AngularJS web app. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your angular webapp projects and dev environment for these projects.
The seed contains a sample AngularJS application and is preconfigured to install the Angular framework and a bunch of development and testing tools for instant web development gratification.
The seed app doesn't do much, just shows how to wire two controllers and views together.
To get you started you can simply clone the angular-seed repository and install the dependencies:
You need git to clone the angular-seed repository. You can get git from http://git-scm.com/.
We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test angular-seed. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.
Clone the angular-seed repository using git:
git clone https://github.com/angular/angular-seed.git
cd angular-seed
If you just want to start a new project without the angular-seed commit history then you can do:
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/angular/angular-seed.git <your-project-name>
The depth=1
tells git to only pull down one commit worth of historical data.
We have two kinds of dependencies in this project: tools and angular framework code. The tools help us manage and test the application.
npm
, the node package manager.bower
, a client-side code package manager.We have preconfigured npm
to automatically run bower
so we can simply do:
npm install
Behind the scenes this will also call bower install
. You should find that you have two new folders in your project.
node_modules
- contains the npm packages for the tools we needapp/bower_components
- contains the angular framework filesNote that the bower_components
folder would normally be installed in the root folder but angular-seed changes this location through the .bowerrc
file. Putting it in the app folder makes it easier to serve the files by a webserver.
We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:
npm start
Now browse to the app at http://localhost:8000/app/index.html
.
app/ --> all of the source files for the application
app.css --> default stylesheet
components/ --> all app specific modules
version/ --> version related components
version.js --> version module declaration and basic "version" value service
version_test.js --> "version" value service tests
version-directive.js --> custom directive that returns the current app version
version-directive_test.js --> version directive tests
interpolate-filter.js --> custom interpolation filter
interpolate-filter_test.js --> interpolate filter tests
view1/ --> the view1 view template and logic
view1.html --> the partial template
view1.js --> the controller logic
view1_test.js --> tests of the controller
view2/ --> the view2 view template and logic
view2.html --> the partial template
view2.js --> the controller logic
view2_test.js --> tests of the controller
app.js --> main application module
index.html --> app layout file (the main html template file of the app)
index-async.html --> just like index.html, but loads js files asynchronously
karma.conf.js --> config file for running unit tests with Karma
e2e-tests/ --> end-to-end tests
protractor-conf.js --> Protractor config file
scenarios.js --> end-to-end scenarios to be run by Protractor
There are two kinds of tests in the angular-seed application: Unit tests and End to End tests.
The angular-seed app comes preconfigured with unit tests. These are written in Jasmine, which we run with the Karma Test Runner. We provide a Karma configuration file to run them.
karma.conf.js
..._test.js
.The easiest way to run the unit tests is to use the supplied npm script:
npm test
This script will start the Karma test runner to execute the unit tests. Moreover, Karma will sit and watch the source and test files for changes and then re-run the tests whenever any of them change. This is the recommended strategy; if your unit tests are being run every time you save a file then you receive instant feedback on any changes that break the expected code functionality.
You can also ask Karma to do a single run of the tests and then exit. This is useful if you want to check that a particular version of the code is operating as expected. The project contains a predefined script to do this:
npm run test-single-run
The angular-seed app comes with end-to-end tests, again written in Jasmine. These tests are run with the Protractor End-to-End test runner. It uses native events and has special features for Angular applications.
e2e-tests/protractor-conf.js
e2e-tests/scenarios.js
Protractor simulates interaction with our web app and verifies that the application responds correctly. Therefore, our web server needs to be serving up the application, so that Protractor can interact with it.
npm start
In addition, since Protractor is built upon WebDriver we need to install this. The angular-seed project comes with a predefined script to do this:
npm run update-webdriver
This will download and install the latest version of the stand-alone WebDriver tool.
Once you have ensured that the development web server hosting our application is up and running and WebDriver is updated, you can run the end-to-end tests using the supplied npm script:
npm run protractor
This script will execute the end-to-end tests against the application being hosted on the development server.
Previously we recommended that you merge in changes to angular-seed into your own fork of the project. Now that the angular framework library code and tools are acquired through package managers (npm and bower) you can use these tools instead to update the dependencies.
You can update the tool dependencies by running:
npm update
This will find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the package.json
file.
You can update the Angular dependencies by running:
bower update
This will find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the bower.json
file.
The angular-seed project supports loading the framework and application scripts asynchronously. The special index-async.html
is designed to support this style of loading. For it to work you must inject a piece of Angular JavaScript into the HTML page. The project has a predefined script to help do this.
npm run update-index-async
This will copy the contents of the angular-loader.js
library file into the index-async.html
page. You can run this every time you update the version of Angular that you are using.
While angular is client-side-only technology and it's possible to create angular webapps that don't require a backend server at all, we recommend serving the project files using a local webserver during development to avoid issues with security restrictions (sandbox) in browsers. The sandbox implementation varies between browsers, but quite often prevents things like cookies, xhr, etc to function properly when an html page is opened via file://
scheme instead of http://
.
The angular-seed project comes preconfigured with a local development webserver. It is a node.js tool called http-server. You can start this webserver with npm start
but you may choose to install the tool globally:
sudo npm install -g http-server
Then you can start your own development web server to serve static files from a folder by running:
http-server -a localhost -p 8000
Alternatively, you can choose to configure your own webserver, such as apache or nginx. Just configure your server to serve the files under the app/
directory.
This really depends on how complex your app is and the overall infrastructure of your system, but the general rule is that all you need in production are all the files under the app/
directory. Everything else should be omitted.
Angular apps are really just a bunch of static html, css and js files that just need to be hosted somewhere they can be accessed by browsers.
If your Angular app is talking to the backend server via xhr or other means, you need to figure out what is the best way to host the static files to comply with the same origin policy if applicable. Usually this is done by hosting the files by the backend server or through reverse-proxying the backend server(s) and webserver(s).
Travis CI is a continuous integration service, which can monitor GitHub for new commits to your repository and execute scripts such as building the app or running tests. The angular-seed project contains a Travis configuration file, .travis.yml
, which will cause Travis to run your tests when you push to GitHub.
You will need to enable the integration between Travis and GitHub. See the Travis website for more instruction on how to do this.
CloudBees have provided a CI/deployment setup:
If you run this, you will get a cloned version of this repo to start working on in a private git repo, along with a CI service (in Jenkins) hosted that will run unit and end to end tests in both Firefox and Chrome.

The admin's custom views follow the Modular web applications with Node.js and Express approach presented by TJ Holowaychuk.
The only difference here is that we're dealing with mustache
templates.
"view1": {
"app": {
"path": "/absolute/path/to/custom/app.js",
"slug": "view1",
"verbose": "My Custom View",
"mainview": {
"show": true
}
}
}
var express = require('express');
var app = module.exports = express();
var path = require('path');
// set your custom views path
app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
app.get('/view1', function (req, res, next) {
// create a realtive from the admin's view folder to your custom folder
var relative = path.relative(res.locals._admin.views, app.get('views'));
res.locals.partials = {
// set the path to your templates like this
// the content partial is declared inside the admin's base.html
// this is the entry point for all your custom stuff
content: path.join(relative, 'template')
};
// typically you want your stuff to be rendered inside the admin's UI
// so no need to render here
next();
});
You should definitely run the examples from the examples repository as each of the custom views (apps) presented there is really well commented.
Several variables are exposed to every route callback.
// _admin's variable content is for internal purposes only and is not being rendered
res.locals._admin.db.connection// the admin's database connection can be reused from here
res.locals._admin.config // the contents of the config.json file
res.locals._admin.settings // the contents of the settings.json file
res.locals._admin.custom // the contents of the custom.json file
res.locals._admin.users // the contents of the users.json file
// shortcut variables that are being rendered
res.locals.libs // list of all client side libraries
res.locals.themes // list of all themes
res.locals.layouts // flag indicating layouts button visibility
res.locals.languages // list of all languages
// holds the absolute path to the admin's view directory
res.locals._admin.views

Around Africa children utilize many forms of entertainment from the Western world, but still play traditional games that have endured the ages. The following games are played in various parts of the continent and can be played anywhere. Review the following games and determine which ones may be perfect for the children in your life---or the child in you!
Some African games are played in the same way with football being the continent's favourite game with the skill and determination of footballers from there now being snapped up by league clubs across the world including the UK's Premier League. And the reason for its popularity? Simple, its free and easy to play and even for the poorest kids they can bundle together plastic bags into a ball and kick it around.
Africa games, especially board games, have been in existence for thousands of years, and many of the games were unearthed by archaeologists, although rarely were there accompanying instructions. Some of these Africa games have been captured in paintings such as one found in the tomb of Queen Nefertari showing her playing Senet, possibly the world's oldest board game and similar to modern day backgammon. Morabaraba is another of the popular Africa games with 12 Mens Morris being its closest modern day equivalent. The game of checkers finds its roots in the ancient north Africa game of Zamma, whilst a version called Fanorona has long held popularity in Madagascar.
Board games have been played in Africa for thousands of years and you can find information about ten of them in the list below. One of the oldest known board games in the world is Senet from Egypt. Unfortunately, no one wrote down the rules, so historians have had to make them up. Many of Africa's traditional board games can be played using materials found in nature. Seeds and stones make perfect game pieces, and boards can be scratched into the dirt, dug out of the ground, or drawn on a piece of paper. Mancala is an African board game that is played worldwide, there are in fact hundreds of versions played in Africa.

Vibrat-o-matic makes singing fun! This tool stimulate muscles around neck and stomach to generate a clean vibrato easily. You can control, record and replay where to put vibrato and how strong vibrato you sing with.
This project is built on openEMSstim, open-hardware platform for controling EMS device. This is open source project and we appriciate if you give leave some advices, problems, PR or typo fixes on Issues page.
Vibrat-o-matic got awarded as 1st People's Choice at UIST 2016 Student Innovation Contest!
Vibrat-o-matic works with openEMSstim, open-hardware module to adjust the intensity of EMS/TENS stimulators. Read its instruction to use EMS/TENS safely.
We modified arudino program on openEMSstim slightly: ours accepts Channel 2 to both activate Channel 0 and 1 on one command, and baud rate is set to 57600 (for performance reasons). Please use the arduino firmware on our fork instead of the original one.
cd webapp
npm install
Before testing, please make sure frequency of EMS is set to 5-8 Hz and intensity to minimum.
cd webapp
node index.js [Path to serial port]
Default [Path to serial port]
is set to /dev/tty.usbserial-A9O3R1XL
. You can know your path by running ls /dev/tty.usbserial*
on bash when openEMSstim is connected to your machine via USB.
If web server launched successfully, you will see message like listening on *:3000
. It means now the process wait for connection from web browser on port 3000. Open http://localhost:3000
on your browser.
Neck and stomach are recommended place to put electrodes. We recommend start with stomach, but you can try both of them.
See a diagram below:
On feature test section you can test if the system works.
Then set duration to 200ms and max intensity to 80%, and increase intensity of your EMS device until you can feel vibration of muscles enough for singing.
If Repeat checkbox is checked, the signal will be sent repeadedly.
On Vibrat-o-matic! section you can control signal for singing.
Move Strength slider for control strength of vibrato. Instead you can drag mouse pointer on Drag Pad to control strength. You can see waveform on Waveform section (Note that the waveform is approximated. Frequency is dependent on your EMS setting).
Force Detection Button is for Apple devices which has force detecting trackpad (MacBook 2015, MacBook 2016) or 3D Touch (iPhone 6S, 7). The more strongly you pushed this button, the stronger vibrato you can get.
Below these sections you can see Song switcher, Play and Record buttons and Youtube video. Select a song from a switcher (or push Select Song to specify YouTube videoId) and push Play to sing on it. Record can record the parameters while you controlling vibrato and reproduce them on Play. Parameters on each song will shown on Parameters section on the left. Clear button will clear the parameters of the current song, and Export will export all parameters into json file.
If you open port 3000 on your machine (already opened if your firewall is off), you can access the page from other device. You can control vibrato from your smartphone with opening http://<IP_ADDRESS>/remote.html
(<IP_ADDRESS> should be IP address of your machine).
In other word if you open port 3000 publicly, API of your EMS is accessible from world. Keep a close eye on security!
Enjoy your karaoke time!

Magic Isn’t Rocket Science
Every spring, residents of Pasadena, California confront a phenomenon they call ‘June Gloom’: the sunny climate of this idyllic, wealthy town east of Los Angeles grows uncharacteristically dark. Oppressive cirrus clouds the color of TV static blow in off the Pacific, and misty rains buffets the leaded glass windows of vine-clad Victorians. During the late night fogs, avenues of whispering palms glow under antique streetlamps. On clearer nights, the moon gazes down from its perch above the austere, almost Martian peaks of the San Gabriels. The uncanny nature of the place comes to life.
“I had to run home last night,” a friend told me recently, “There was something frightening about the streets. It gave me the shivers.” Her street is absurdly safe, home to rows of Tuscan-style villas housing older, well-heeled families, but I knew what she meant. There is something about the place, a feeling of strangeness concealed. And there’s a reason for this. Pasadena, home of the world’s top-ranked science university (Caltech) and the elite facility that controls NASA’s Mars rovers (the Jet Propulsion Lab) has also been home to a distinctly twentieth-century form of magical occultism.
And surprisingly, the rocket science and the black magic sprang from the same source.
I knew nothing of this history until the month before I moved to Pasadena to take up a fellowship at the Huntington Library, a palatial compound of interlocking gardens and villas created by the Gilded Age railroad tycoon of the same name. I was curious why the Huntington, the Jet Propulsion Lab, and Caltech had all emerged in the same sleepy suburb of Los Angeles. Did they share a common history?
It soon emerged that Pasadena’s early history was much like that of the rest of Anglo LA: as the movie Chinatown (1974) brilliantly evoked, competing forces came together, sometimes violently, to build a vast metropolis out of a desert in the early twentieth century. They siphoned water from the ravines of the scrubland, but more importantly they siphoned American optimism. They created an Emerald City in the American west, a place that was a simulacrum of itself: a city that played itself in the movies.
Pasadena is a slice of this story. After the United States seized California from Mexico, waves of wealthy settlers from the American Midwest moved to the small town, drawn by its accessibility via railway. It became a resort town, famed for its lavish hotels, craftsman houses, and, before long, its intellectual community. A solar astronomer named George Ellery Hale had been attracted to the region by the clear skies, founding the Mount Wilson Observatory in 1904. Soon a nucleus of scientists developed, bolstered by Albert Einstein who spent 1931 working on his Theory of General Relativity in a quiet bungalow near Caltech. The United States government became increasingly interested in the military potential of this massed scientific talent, and began to fund secret experiments involving chemical explosives, rocketry, and experimental physics.
This was the world that a striking-looking twenty-two year old college dropout named Jack Parsons encountered when he took a job with the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory in 1936. Parsons, the scion of a wealthy but troubled southern California family, was a self-taught chemist who worked through a process of mystical intuition. Together with the Caltech scientist Frank Malina and a mechanic named Ed Forman, Parsons formed a group that NASA calls the original “rocket boys”:
They scraped together cheap engine parts, and on 31 Oct. 1936, drove to an isolated area called the Arroyo Seco at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Four times that day they tried to test fire their small rocket motor. On the last attempt, they accidentally set fire to their oxygen line, which whipped around shooting fire. These were the first rocket experiments in the history of JPL.
In 1941, at a crucial moment in the arms race between the Allies and Axis powers, Parsons had a brilliant insight which led to the development of modern rocketry. Following his intuition, Parsons claimed, he struck on the combination of potassium perchlorate and common roofing tar as components in solid rocket fuel. The technology would later make possible both intercontinental nuclear missiles and the Apollo moon landing.
Strikingly, however, Parsons appears to have conceived of his work almost as an offshoot of early modern alchemy, regarding his insights as deriving from mystical sources. Around the time of his greatest creativity as a scientist, Parsons was becoming immersed in the world of Los Angeles occultism. He quickly became a leader of the Agape Lodge, the west coast branch of the English magus Aleister Crowley’s Ordo Templo Orientalis, itself an offshoot of the famed Victorian occult group the Order of the Golden Dawn. In December of 1940, a member of the Lodge recorded in her “Magical Record” that Parsons, “a newcomer,” had “begun astral travels.” Just four months later, the lodge’s leader, Wilfred Smith, was writing to Crowley that
I think I have at long last a really excellent man, John Parsons. And starting next Tuesday he begins a course of talks with a view to enlarging our scope. He has an excellent mind and much better intellect then myself… John Parsons is going to be valuable.
Crowley soon became convinced of Parsons’ potential as an occult leader—but by the late 1940s, he had grown disappointed by what he regarded as the American scientist’s overly enthusiastic nature. Parsons had by this time become obsessed with the idea of performing magical rituals which would give material form to a spiritual being which he called an “elemental.” To his well-heeled neighbors’ dismay, he had also converted his sprawling Pasadena mansion into an enclave of bohemian writers and fellow mystics (in the undated photo below, Parsons poses with Smith and Regina Kahl, the leaders of Agape Lodge).
Parsons’ closest friend during this period was an ex-Navy officer with a shadowy past: L. Ron Hubbard. Before long, the future founder of Scientology had seduced Parsons’ young wife and embroiled him in a dubious business venture involving the purchase of East Asian yachts, but Parsons was unphased. “I need a magical partner,” he wrote of Hubbard. “I have many experiments in mind.”
Parsons’ life ended in tragedy: in 1951, he accidentally killed himself during one his chemical experiments by dropping a highly explosive substance called fulminate of mercury. By the time of his death, the world of high technology had already passed him by. While his peers at Caltech were helping develop nuclear weapons and space flight, he had been reduced to creating special effects for Hollywood films.
Parsons’ legacy, however, is all around us. The strange union between mysticism and technology that Parsons represented is woven into the fabric of twenty-first century life. In a future Appendix article, I intend to draw out what I mean by this. Although Parsons was (from my skeptical perspective) deluding himself with illusions of magical skill, he was indeed the possessor of a formidable power: technology.
Parsons and his fellow magical acolytes believed that in the twentieth century the human race had entered a new, forward-looking era they called the age of Horus. “The Aeon of Horus,” Parsons wrote, “is of the nature of a child… perfectly ruthless, containing all possibilities.” But that childlike nature, he believed, “is also the nature of force—blind, terrible, unlimited force.”
Writing, as he did in the era of the atom bomb, I can’t say he was wrong.

I've always been a depressed and lonely person growing up, but in 7th grade I met my best friend. She was everything I wasn't, and she liked me. About two months into our freindship, where I would always stay weekends at her house, she propositioned me with the chance to take some coricidin. A freind of hers had said it was better than weed and that was our drug of choice at the time. The fact that it wasn't illegal made it even more inticing.
That night we took it and just as promised, it was incredible. Within an hour things got blurry, yet I felt more aware of myself, and by accident, we discovered that your pain tolerance, emotionally as well as physically, was very high. Because we became eachothers dependency, when one of us was down the other naturally advised a 'coricidin session' so we could get 'happy'. As time goes by I look up one day to realize that I am about to graduate from high scool and it has been five years strong that my freind and I have been abusing coricidin. I look out my first period class window and watch the sun come up and I almost cry.
No, I've had no epiphany, not yet anyway, as usual I'm messed up at school and just a little out of control. You see, I said our emotional control was high but let me explain. When you use for so long you learn to always be in control and if you feel anything negative, like lightening fast your body excuses and disgards the feeling but if you allow emotion the flood gates open. My ability to express and express forever and the power to delve within myrself and explore has no bounds.
Other things learned by my freind and I is just how controlling coricidin is. I know there's not a lot of studies yet I can tell for sure, coricidin was addictive. Sometimes at school lunch, while already under the influence we would go around tables asking people for dollars, saying we needed cigarettes, just planning for our next box of bliss, 'pink princesses' we called them. That how I got to be named the 'Coricin Queen'. Between my friend and I, people knew I was a user and came to me to find out the scoop and since I always had an experienced answer, my one lisping freind, who at the time was messed up, made the name for me, dropping the 'di' in the middle so it would rhyme.
In all seriousness, my life wasn't all fun and games: depression hung over me constantly, suicide was always in the air, I had behavioral problems, and an overwhelming lack of self worth due to the fact that I lived a double life every day that, by experience, I learned only a few should know about. 2002, I graduated and I am now a sophomore at college; here I have learned the most of it all about myself. I recently, due to a new best friend, found the strength to stop. Next month would have be seven straight years that I had used,; God only knows what I have already done to myself. Way back when six cold and cough pills would do it for me, had jumped to twenty and was growing.
I now have chronic stomach pain and sometimes when I drink alcohol my tolerance level is so low that say four beers or a couple shots will plaster me, a beer bonging champ in high school who would take no less than ten. I have wierd muscle spasms and I shake a lot. A main determining factor for me to quit delt with the fact the my vomitting reflex always kicked in when it was time to take some more. Before swallowing i could never look at the pills or it would be a fight. Sometimes I won and other times I threw them up repeatedly before getting them down, but I never gave up. Now, I'm just trying to get emotionally stable and get a normal sleep pattern because that was something i had long since lost control of. For your info, my old best freind is still using and has no intentions of quitting, a deciding factor in our break up. She swears that without them she can't live but with them we never did.

Jekyll-Mono
Jekyll-Mono is a simple and elegant GitHub Profile cum Blog theme based on Barry Clark’s Jekyll-Now. It’s a result of my attempt to learn Jekyll and create a minimalistic theme to put up my CV alongwith some blog posts.
It is crafted with 💙 by Akshay Agarwal.
What is Jekyll?
It is a static site generator. It takes your content written in Markdown, passes it through your templates and spits it out as a complete static website, ready to be served using GitHub pages for free. Because your entire blog is static it serves and perform faster. It consumes less web resources namely memory and I/O.
Getting Started
Let’s quickly set up your new blog in a matter of minutes.
Fork this repository
Hit the “Fork” button in the top-right corner of the repository to fork a copy of this theme to your GitHub account and rename it to yourusername.github.io and then visit https://yourusername.github.io and you’ll be able to see your newly created blog using Jekyll-Mono.
Customise Jekyll-Mono
So now your blog is live with its default settings. Let’s customise it now.
Edit the _config.yml and enter your site name and description. You can easily turn on Google Analytics tracking, Disqus commenting and cool loking social icons here too.
Jekyll-Mono also comes with the option of setting up the color scheme of your blog. You can do this by editing _variables.scss that lies inside the _sass folder. You can change the main theme color by simply replacing the current hex color value of $mono
with the one of your choice. A few main theme sample colors are included in there as comments. Apart from the main theme color you can also change the header link color, navbar hover color, hyperlink color as well as the color of the various headings.
A look at the customisations you can do with _variable.scss
// Main theme colors
// Some cool main theme colors(violet:#8476ad;blue:#5cacee;red:#ff7373,#ff6f69;green:#6acf64,#2ddbb3;orange:#ffa268)
$mono-color:#8476ad; // main theme color(header, links, footer icons, buttons, post-title)
$hl-color: $darkGray; // header link color (author name and posted on date) for blog post meta
$navbar-hover-color:$gray; // navbar hover color (site name and navbar links hover color)
$link-color: $darkerGray; // normal hyperlink color other than the ones above.
// Heading colors
// You can play around with these too!
$h1-color: $mono-color;
$h2-color: $mono-color;
$h3-color: $darkerGray;
$h4-color: $gray;
Have a look at Jekyll-Mono with four different main theme colors.
Finally you need to set up your avatar. Pick up your avatar, resize it to 220x220px simply using paint or any editor of your choice and upload it to the images folder. Now open _variables.scss, you’ll see something like this $avatar: "/images/avatar.jpg";
. Here change the avatar.jpg to what you have uploaded just now.
Start Blogging
Publish your first blog post by editing /_posts/2016-03-06-Eternal-Lorem-Ipsum.md. Markdown Cheatsheet might come in handy while writing your blog posts in Markdown. If you are not comfortable with writing in Markdown you can use Prose for writing your blog posts. This will help you in setting up prose.
To create a post just click on create new file button in /_posts/. Create a new file with the following naming convention: year-month-day-title.md. Also make sure to include the front-matter at the top of each new blog post.
You can see the front matter at the top of /_posts/2016-03-06-Eternal-Lorem-Ipsum.md. It looks something like this. You have to change the title and author according to your post. The layout will remain the same.
---
layout: post
title: The Eternal Lorem Ipsum Placeholder Text Here
author: Author Name
---
About and Projects Page
In the parent folder you’ll find about.md and projects.md. These are templates for helping you to set up your biodata/CV and projects that will be available at yourusername.github.io/about and yourusername.github.io/projects respectively. Again you can edit it in Markdown on GitHub or using Prose as per your choice.
Demo
You can see the live demo of this theme at http://akshayagarwal007.github.io/Jekyll-Mono/
Local Development
For setting up your development environment you can follow the official Jekyll Documentation. It’s a little bit complicated for Windows users. Let’s see how it’s done on windows:
-
Install Chocolatey. Chocolatey is a package manager for windows. It’s awesome. Open a command propmt with administrator access. Paste this. Hit Enter and restart the command prompt.
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
-
Install Ruby : In your command prompt type
choco install ruby -y
. Hit Enter. After installation restart the cmd with administrator privileges. -
Install Jekyll/Sass (plug-ins used by GitHub Pages):
gem install github-pages
-
Clone your fork of Jekyll-Mono
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yourusername.github.io.git
-
Serve the site by
jekyll serve
. It regenerates itself after any changes has been made. -
View your site at http://<IP_ADDRESS>:4000/
-
If you make any changes to _config.yml you’ll need to rebuild the site using
jekyll build
and then again ajekyll serve
to serve it. You’ll need to do a rebuild only if you want to see the changes locally, else you can simply commit your changes and push them to your GitHub repo, GitHub pages will rebuild and serve your website.

INTRODUCTION
The Project to Intercompare Regional Climate
Simulations (PIRCS)
held its second modelers workshop 5 - 6 June 1997 at Iowa State University,
Ames, Iowa, USA. Twenty-five scientists representing sixteen modeling
groups attended. The overall goal of PIRCS is to advance the status of
regional climate simulation using atmospheric mesoscale models. In
accordance with this goal, active participants convened several months
after the release of the boundary conditions for the first PIRCS simulation
experiment (Takle, 1995) to discuss several topics:
An underlying theme of these discussions was the challenge presented to the
mesoscale climate modeling community by the Working Group on Numerical
Experimentation (WGNE) to evaluate thoroughly the feasibility of using
mesoscale models for climate simulation.
PIRCS Experiment 1 was established during the first PIRCS workshop
in November 1994 (Takle, 1995). Participants at that workshop determined
that the initial experiment should focus on the central U.S. drought of
1988 (Exp. 1a) and floods of 1993 (Exp. 1b), two periods offering strong
signals of climate variability for the models to reproduce. These choices
were motivated also by the substantial observational record available for
evaluating simulations and the interest of the GEWEX Continental-Scale
International Project (GCIP) in these episodes. A prominent mesoscale
feature of this region is a nocturnal, low-level jet that plays a central
role in the region's hydrologic cycle. Participants in the November 1994
workshop and follow-on discussions developed a standard output archive for
participating models for diagnosing this feature and its interaction with
regional energy and water cycles.
Workshop II was supported by the International Institute of
Theoretical and Applied Physics (IITAP) at Iowa State and the Electric
Power Research Institute (EPRI). Early in the workshop, James Vary, Acting
Director of IITAP, reviewed IITAP's support of PIRCS in the context part of
IITAP's goal as a UNESCO-sponsored institution to promote forefront
research by scientists in developing countries. He also surveyed
participants later in the workshop for their collaboration with developing
country scientists, stating that IITAP may be able to sponsor such
interaction. Chuck Hakkarinen, of the EPRI Environment Group, noted that EPRI has supported substantially
efforts to understand climate change on the regional scale, partly to aid
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its periodic review
of the science of climate change and its impacts on human society.
Comments by Vary and Hakkarinen provided a broad context for the ensuing
discussions.
INITIAL AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
The initial and boundary conditions for
Experiment 1, particularly soil moisture, generated
substantial discussion. The relatively short
lengths of Exps. 1a and 1b (60 days) prevent models from spinning up their
own soil moisture field, so their simulations may be sensitive to the
initial condition, which is poorly observed. (Informal discussion at the workshop suggested that 90 days or
more of simulation is necessary to spin-up soil moisture.) The experiment's initial soil
moisture and atmospheric boundary conditions come from the reanalysis
(Kalnay et al., 1997) produced by the U.S. National Centers for
Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCAR). John Roads showed that the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis soil
moisture is damped toward a specified climatology and so may not capture
fully the climatological extremes of Exp. 1. Anji Seth relayed a
suggestion from Filippo Giorgi that PIRCS provide multiple sets of initial
soil moisture for a suite of simulations that would reveal sensitivity to
this specification. No definitive conclusion was reached at the workshop,
but the PIRCS organizers will continue to discuss this suggestion by
electronic mail with participants and possibly prepare alternative initial
soil-moisture conditions. William Gutowski noted that one of the intents
of PIRCS is to provide a common framework for sensitivity studies, such as
the one suggested here, so that such simulation would be encouraged even if
not formally part of Exp. 1. Finally, John McGregor pointed out that
deep-soil temperature also needs to be included in the initial conditions.
The original PIRCS Exp. 1 boundary conditions specified monthly
mean sea-surface temperature (SST). Michael Botzet showed how regional
simulations could be sensitive to temporal evolution of SST, suggesting
that SST should be updated from observations more frequently than monthly.
Song-You Hong stated that the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis updates SST to daily
intervals by interpolating weekly observational values. Participants
generally agreed that while the
simulation domain for Exp. 1 does not
contain substantial ocean, PIRCS should nonetheless specify SST more
frequently than monthly, in part to maintain consistency with the NCEP/NCAR
atmospheric reanalysis output used for boundary conditions.
Further discussion of boundary conditions focused on specified
surface properties. There was substantial disagreement over whether or not
standards should be enforced for these and other specified features such as
surface roughness and albedo. One group felt that adherence to such
standards would reduce uncertainty over the causes of inter-model
differences. Another felt that model surface specifications are determined
in part for compatibility among all model parameterizations present and
that the greater value of PIRCS simulations lies in comparing model
performance with observations. Participants agreed, however, that PIRCS
organizers should give maps of standard vegetation distributions and
topography on the PIRCS Web site, both as references and to establish map
contouring and coloring standards.
ARCHIVE OF MODEL OUTPUT AND OBSERVATIONS
Another area of substantial discussion was the
standard output archive that PIRCS organizers will collect from the modelers and maintain.
The workshop gave the modelers an opportunity to review this archive after
some had run initial simulations. Special attention focused on output for
comparison with observations and output for inter-model diagnosis of
mesoscale behavior.
Participants recommended that the standard archive continue to
emphasize diurnal cycles of energy and moisture fluxes at the surface.
However, several consensus modifications emerged:
All participants agreed that having a variety of observations
available would be of great benefit to individual as well as collective
efforts to understand model behavior. Comparison with observations will
also be necessary for addressing the WGNE challenge described above. These
observations will be collected by PIRCS. Summary plots of observations will be displayed
on the PIRCS Web site (http://www.pircs.iastate.edu) to
allow modelers an initial check of their output with observations and also
to establish map contouring and coloring standards for comparative study.
Observations will emphasize diurnal variations, especially those like
precipitation that are closely linked to mesoscale behavior such as the
nocturnal, low-level jet. Some specific observational fields include
hourly precipitation from first-order stations, four-times daily NCEP and
ECMWF analyses, daily maximum/minimum temperatures, and satellite
observations of radiative fluxes.
Several models performed Exp. 1a before the workshop and
participants informally compared their preliminary output, with several
noteworthy features emerging. Models generally showed agreement with the
observed time-average, large-scale circulation, though there were
differences in details that were rather large at some points. Low-level
jet output showed a diurnal variation with maximum strength at night. The
degree of agreement in simulated precipitation between models and with
observations varied greatly. Additional simulations and further diagnosis
are clearly needed.
Modeling groups are encouraged to submit a
supplemental data set:
WRAP UP
Concluding discussions focused on the time table
for Exp. 1a.
Workshop participants agreed to the goal of completing the updated Exp. 1a
and producing its output archive by the end of 1997. This archive will be
the basis for one or two initial scientific papers. The end-of-1997 goal
does not preclude later participation by other models. Participants also
agreed that PIRCS should explore hosting a PIRCS participants review session in San Francisco that coincides
with the December 1997 American Geophysical Union meeting.
Final discussions considered potential follow-on PIRCS experiments.
Jens Hesselbjerg Christensen advocated a suite of simulations with relevant
observations and model output that any person with a new model might run to
assess model performance. Potential sites discussed included South-east
Asia, southern Africa and South America. In this light, Clemente Tanajura
presented some results from mesoscale simulation of the South American
low-level jet.

I really enjoy stories. I love to listen to people tell stories and watch them play out on screens. This brings me to my list of favorite sites. They are all based on watching or listening to different stories. I know it may sound like I'm an 80 year old woman "watching my stories" on TV, but it really is the story aspect that pulls me in. It isn't important to me to have optimal screen sizes or resolutions. I really just want to know what happens. Therefore, my favorite sites to visit are as follows:
I am often listening to books from audible while hiking or running or
cleaning my house. It keeps my brain busy and thinking outside of its
comfort zone. I also really like TV. I grew up watching a ton of TV,
because screen time
wasn't a thing yet. It's how I relax... unless
it's a scary show. Then it's how I stay up all night imagining the worst
possible scenarios that could happen while I sleep. Super fun.


UK offers South Africans free visa assesment
by ObserverUK offers South Africans free visa assessment and work opportunities
South Africans are rejoicing after Move Up has announced that they are offering free visa assessments to all South Africans. The program, which was announced earlier today was met with rejoicing from South Africans who qualify for the different criteria.
South Africans have been advised to take advantage of the program. Here are the most accessible UK visas for South Africans looking to relocate to the UK.
1. Birth Rights
If your parents or grandparents hail from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and you have access to their birth certificates, you could be eligible for a British passport or an ancestral visa.
2. Points-Based System
If birth and marriage rights do not apply to you, the next best way to qualify to live and work in the UK is to qualify for their points-based visa system. The points-based system makes provision for business owners, investors and individuals with specific skills.
3. Spouse Visa
If your partner has a British passport or is eligible to apply for an ancestral visa, you can relocate to the UK after obtaining a spousal visa. Spousal visas take usually three months to process, but it is possible to pay an additional fee to speed things up.
4. Non Points Based Visa
For those who don’t qualify for any of the above visas, there is a collection of unique UK visas that cater for truly exceptional human beings. This category applies to highly talented sportsmen and women, as well as academics who hold a PhD in science, engineering, the humanities, medicine, digital technology or the arts; and those who are considered (established or emerging) leaders in their field

Basic Setup required for installing LaraPass v1 on your server.
{primary} LaraPass v1 works best on a
VPS
with SSH Access.
Below are some of the reputable and amazingly cheap VPS Providers -
Digital Ocean, Vultr, Amazon AWS
Since these VPS provide raw server with resources, we will need a server manager to run our PHP applications such as LaraPass v1. Some of the suggested are -
Ploi, RunCloud, Laravel Forge, Cloudways
All of these service have slightly different pricing and features, so you can check them out and decide for your self. For our demo, we will be using our best setup & most for our money i.e., Digital Ocean with Ploi.
We also recommend downloading & installing Bitvise SSH Client
or any other of your choice so you can connect to your server easily.
{warning} While it will work, we do not recommend running LaraPass v1 using Shared Hosting as Shared servers are not Secure and may create issues down the line.
If you are still interested in using the cheaper Shared Hosting services, then we recommend using A2Hosting
and use coupon code SOFAST!
for 51% Off.
{success} Visit the
cPanel Installation Guide Page
for details on how to successfully install LaraPass v1 on cPanel.
Setting up a VPS server provided by Digital Ocean
or any other from the above list is very simple and straight forward. These steps are general and are not specific to LaraPass v1. If you already know how to provision a DO server, then just skip this section. If you are using Cloudways, then you don't need to register at DO, they will handle everything (albeit at an extra premium).
Step # 1 - Visit DigitalOcean.com
Step # 2 - Create an account. Use coupon/promo code DO10
to get Free Credit to Launch your first server.
Step # 3 - Go to Create Droplets
. Select Distritutions/OS as Ubuntu 18.04 x64
.
Step # 4 - Select any size as per your budget, we recommend the $10/mo - 2GB Droplet Size
& Select a region
as per your desire.
Step # 5 - Choose a Hostname
and Click Create
and wait for the server to get provisioned.
Step # 6 - Once the server is provisioned, you will get an Email with the Server IP & the root password.
Step # 7 - If you haven't already, then you need to point your Domain Nameservers to DigitalOcean.
Step # 8 - Go to Networking -> Domains
and Add your Domain.
Step # 9 - Lastly, create 2 new records for your domain as listed below:
Hostname : @
Will direct to : your-server-ip-address
TTL : 1800
Hostname : www
Will direct to : your-server-ip-address
TTL : 1800
A VPS always comes as a barebones pc, as such in order to run web applications or websites on them we need to use a VPS Manager. For LaraPass v1 we will be going with Ploi because unlike others, it comes with a Free Option (along with Free SSL) which allows you to manage your LaraPass v1 site for Free
. For more details visit Ploi.io. These steps are general and not specific to LaraPass v1. If you already know how to link your VPS with a Manager, then just skip this section.
Step # 1 - Go to Ploi.io
& Sign Up.
Step # 2 - Click on Create Server
.
Step # 3 - Click on Custom VPS
under Select Provider.
Step # 4 - Copy the Command
shown under "You can also use this one-liner to add the authorized key:"
, its something like this - (do not copy the command below, its just a dummy one)
mkdir -p /root/.ssh && touch /root/.ssh/authorized_keys && echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC6BBCdgfd/8FblBAwAuZYFQti4xOub2BxlMMwjMajI+JM91bD81B6xBA19gBTrc194SuoD1L/T7tna66XQsBUchC2YBF/akdwyyduSBJh/yK98JCMNZyNcE0qZ/g9MhCfkYI3ZkFLOeoTYsDEUpkzNKePu9r6egBSFQj0TGNAKyZ3wohnM469CoCS0Jh6kbOOa+kp7OLr0jXRY5l7f8MCEjPcVldkYFhXhxIFQ6GZnGdnayqnlBVRpN4/4q1X+HTsMOWKcTtJembJ8wThaKnAUhsZjNOitD9edhsDu+K9JeZU8egnP8tz28i+8pFcuPykoeqUJOCgMCiuHuvMhu2iL ploi-worker" >> /root/.ssh/authorized_keys
Step # 5 - Login to your VPS Server as root
using Bitvise SSH Client
or CyberDuck
or directly from Digital Ocean Server Panel.
Step # 6 - Paste
the Command
you copied in Step # 4.
Step # 7 - Come back to Ploi
, enter your Server Name
, IP Address
, Select OS
, PHP Version as 7.1
, MySQL Version as 5.7
and click on Create Server
and wait for it to provision.
Step # 8 - Once done, head over to your server on ploi, click on add sites, add your domain name and in the directory add /public (since its a laravel installation).
Step # 9 - All done. Visit the Installation Page to get started with installing LaraPass v1 on your server.


Seattle Seahawks' Tyler Lockett hospitalized after suffering 'severe' lower-leg injury
by Ryan GaydosSeattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was hospitalized Monday night after suffering a “severe” lower leg contusion during a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Lockett suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks’ overtime win over the 49ers. He did not play in overtime and was last seen fielding a kickoff to send the game into the extra frame. He was taken to a Santa Clara hospital for an evaluation.
SEAHAWKS KNOCK 49ERS FROM UNBEATEN RANKS WITH 27-24 OT WIN
“He’s out of here right now to get looked at,” Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said after the game, according to Pro Football Talk. “It will be OK, but it’s a pretty severe situation for right now.”
Carroll added: “I think there was a lot of swelling. The contusion caused a lot of swelling right away and they’ve got stuff… there [are] concerns about that so they’ve got to make sure… There’s a compartment element in this so they’ve got to make sure and just got to take care of him. And we’re ahead of it so we should be in good shape.”
PATRIOTS' ROBERT KRAFT TOLD ROB GRONKOWSKI HE WANTS HIM BACK FOR PLAYOFFS, REPORT SAYS
Lockett has been one of the best receivers in the league this season and has helped quarterback Russell Wilson stake a claim for the NFL MVP award.
Lockett caught three passes for 26 yards in the game.

It’s unclear as of now how long Lockett will be sidelined for. Seattle is on a bye next week and won’t play again until Nov. 24 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
