public abstract class FontMetrics extends Object implements Serializable
FontMetrics
class defines a font metrics object, which
encapsulates information about the rendering of a particular font on a
particular screen.
Note to subclassers: Since many of these methods form closed, mutually recursive loops, you must take care that you implement at least one of the methods in each such loop to prevent infinite recursion when your subclass is used. In particular, the following is the minimal suggested set of methods to override in order to ensure correctness and prevent infinite recursion (though other subsets are equally feasible):
Note that the implementations of these methods are inefficient, so they are usually overridden with more efficient toolkit-specific implementations.
When an application asks to place a character at the position (x, y), the character is placed so that its reference point (shown as the dot in the accompanying image) is put at that position. The reference point specifies a horizontal line called the baseline of the character. In normal printing, the baselines of characters should align.
In addition, every character in a font has an ascent, a descent, and an advance width. The ascent is the amount by which the character ascends above the baseline. The descent is the amount by which the character descends below the baseline. The advance width indicates the position at which AWT should place the next character.
An array of characters or a string can also have an ascent, a
descent, and an advance width. The ascent of the array is the
maximum ascent of any character in the array. The descent is the
maximum descent of any character in the array. The advance width
is the sum of the advance widths of each of the characters in the
character array. The advance of a String
is the
distance along the baseline of the String
. This
distance is the width that should be used for centering or
right-aligning the String
.
Note that the advance of a String
is not necessarily
the sum of the advances of its characters measured in isolation
because the width of a character can vary depending on its context.
For example, in Arabic text, the shape of a character can change
in order to connect to other characters. Also, in some scripts,
certain character sequences can be represented by a single shape,
called a ligature. Measuring characters individually does
not account for these transformations.
Font metrics are baseline-relative, meaning that they are
generally independent of the rotation applied to the font (modulo
possible grid hinting effects). See Font
.

Public Constructors
public constructor(options: PLUGIN_DEFAULTS): this source
Paraglider is an API driven slider. It exposes a timeline and offers some options.
This gives developers a lot of freedom when implementing a slider. The main purpose for this plugin is to create slideshows with a parallax effect. Due to the simplicity you can feed the timeline to other plugins and create amazing effects like animating SVGs or drawing on a canvas.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| options | PLUGIN_DEFAULTS | Custom options for the Plugin call |
Return:
| this |
Private Members
private animation: loop source
Animation flag. Calls the animation and stores the function to allow cancelAnimationFrame
Public Methods
public goTo(n: number): * source
Moves to the nth slide via trigger. Respects left/right movement
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| n | number | index of requested slide |
Return:
| * |
public init(el: Element) source
Init call for the plugin.
This method assigns the element to the plugin scope, adds the required event listeners and class names.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| el | Element | An element containing the required markup with and selectors |
public nextSlide(e: Event): * source
Moves to the next slide via trigger.

| e | Event |
|
optionally pass the event to prevent it |
Return:
| * |
Private Methods
private addInitClassNames() source
Initially set class names
init
will be removed after the first interaction. It allows a 'silent' start
when working with CSS animations or transitions.
private addListeners() source
Adds event listeners needed for this plugin to work. Movement and release should be tracked on window or document.
Listen:
touchmove |
Listens to touchmove if |
touchend |
Listens to touchend if |
touchstart |
Listens to touchstart if |
mousemove |
Listens to mousemove if |

private addSides() source
Add previous
and next
classes around the current
slide.
This function respects pager clicks, which modify the next or previous element.
private getClientX(e: Event): number source
Find clientX from the event. This helper will return the correct value for touch or mouse.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| e | Event | Mouse or touch event |
private getReturnValues(direction: boolean): object source
Prepares return values
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| direction | boolean |
private handleDown(e: Event) source
First interaction with the mouse or per touch will be used to set flags and define initial values.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| e | Event | Mouse or touch event |
private handleEnd(end: number) source
Handle the end of the slide animation.
If there is a callback called onEnd
call it.
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| end | number | Final value |
private handleMove(e: Event) source
Handler for mouse or touch movement.
Waits for a threshold and then records the movement on the x
axis
Params:
| Name | Type | Attribute | Description |
| e | Event | Mouse or touch move event |
private handleProgress() source
Handles the progress. Calculates the progress from the internal state and element dimension. A callback is fired if set
private handleUp() source
Last interaction with the mouse or per touch will be used to set flags and define initial values. Only fires if down is active. Prevents unintended behavior when the first touch or mousedown was outside the element.
private removeClassNames() source
Batch removal of class names. This is dirty but simply removes anything the plugin could have set.
TODO:
- Find a better way to do this.
private removeListeners() source
Removes all event listeners. (Helpful when destroying the plugin instance)

Prepayment details
Starts: 15 March 2017
Ends: 14 June 2017
Prepayment number: 869 467 589
You can show pharmacies this email if they ask for evidence of your prepayment. We do not send out plastic cards any more
Tell us if something changes
Tell us if your name or address changes, so they match the details on your prescriptions. Go to www.nhs.co.uk/prepay/updatemydetails to keep your details up to date.


Rather than try to replace JavaScript, TypeScript embraces and extends it.
TypeScript adds an optional Type System as well as features from the latest versions of JavaScript not yet
supported in all browsers otherwise
TypeSystem
2 + 2 = 4? Not always the case in JavaScript. Luckily typescript allows us to add types which allows to
detect the issue early.
Exercise: Try to get the desired output by changing the inputs
Quick glance at types
This code is editable, try experimenting with assigning wrong types.
Classes
TypeScript has classes, and Angular makes heavy use of them.
They work similar to classes in other languages, and serve for grouping methods and properties belonging to
one object together.
Classes - constructor
There's a special method on the class called constructor. It's run when the class is created and allows the
class to take parameters
Classes - Access modifiers
TypeScript allows you to specify access modifier in the constructor (public, private or protected). This
turns parameter in a class property accessible by as this.name
Classes - export
By the way, did you notice the export keyword before class? This is used to share information between
files. We're going to
import and use this in the next slide (for higher effect)
Classes - import
Imports and exports are not just for classes. They work with variables, functions and other
things!
TypeScript supports lots of other cool features such as:
Interfaces
Enums
Async/await
Getters/setters
Desctructuring
Arrow functions
And more!
We won't cover them in detail, check out the TypeScript website!
Exercise
In the next slide we have a TypeScript exercise.
Your task is to build a TypeScript class which will take a list of guests, and will have a method to output only
the ones who are coming.
The result will be as follows:
Sir Isaac Newton
Marie Curie
Albert Einstein
We created all the files for you.
<-- Add your code on the left

Dogma A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1999 Marty Mapes
**1/2 (out of 4) DOGMA entertained me but it did not impress me.
Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy, Clerks) is both a good writer and a bad writer. His ideas are inventive, perceptive, and honest. His material is some of the freshest around. On the other hand, his characters speak in wordy monologues and obvious plot-driven exposition.
DOGMA is a comic-book-like story of two angels bent on getting into heaven as human souls. Their plan is to become human, walk through a Catholic loophole to purify themselves, then die and go to straight to heaven. Of course, once they do this all of creation will be unmade, but what do they care? No foul, no harm, right?
The mythic rules of this heroic tale are those of the rich, complex world of Catholic dogma. The hero (Bethany, played by Linda Fiorentino) is referred to as the Last Scion. Her spirit guides are the Seraphim Metatron (how's THAT for a comic book name? -- he's played by Alan Rickman) and the thirteenth Apostle (Chris Rock). She's aided by two prophets (Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, reprising their roles as Jay and Silent Bob). And the beast trying to stop her is the Demon Azrael (Jason Lee) who abets the fallen angels and sends three skating minions and a Shit Demon against the hero (okay, maybe the Shit Demon isn't a Catholic symbol).
At first glance it seems irreverent, if not downright heretical. Among other things, Bethany works at an abortion clinic and must perform euthanasia to save the world. But deeper down, Smith really seems to take it seriously. He DOES poke fun at the church, but always as an insider, like he's making fun of himself. He never takes any cruel, cheap shots, and he never disses it just to shock or annoy. There's always a sense of real acceptance of and interest in the church. No other movie in recent memory has so many characters talking seriously about religion.
Unfortunately this talking is often stagey and obvious. In order to work in everything he has to say, Smith's characters speak as if in a play. Nobody interrupts the paragraph-length discussions on race, the structure of the church, and on the validity of "Plenary Indulgences" – the loophole that will allow the angels to get away with the murder of Creation.
Although the discussions are interesting and relevant to the topic of the film, a narrative film isn't the best art form for what Smith's lengthy speeches. A comic book would be much more appropriate. (On the other hand, feature filmmaking has a broader audience for Smith's message. As Metatron said, "If there isn't a movie about it, it isn't worth knowing, is it?")
As a non-Catholic, I found DOGMA to be entertaining, but I could tell that about half of the jokes went over my head. I felt like I was the third person in a conversation between two old friends. In other words, Smith's movie did not speak to me at all.
To Catholics with a sense of humor about themselves, I would recommend this movie more highly. For the rest of us, it's an entertaining, if unimpressive matinee.

Focus.
Focus is the topic of discussion, the new information, whatever thing it is that we happen to be talking about right now. For the purposes of many of these sentences, the focus is Focus.
This is something that a lot of people seem to not understand. And I can’t understand why not; after all, it’s baked into our brains as a part of universal grammar, something that every person has by virtue of being human and having language. Focus is not exclusivity.
When I choose to focus on Focus, it does not mean that I do not think any other grammatical unit, like topic, subject, main verb, object, modal verb, or whatever, is unimportant or unworthy of discussion. It does not even mean that it’s my favorite. I happen to think that all of those are just as interesting and important. What it means is that it is the one I’m talking about right now.
What I am doing is not excluding all other grammatical functions. I am merely focusing on one out of many in this particular discussion. Let’s look at some real-life examples of Focus in action.
# #BlackLivesMatter
“Black”, or if you prefer, “Black Lives”, are in Focus. When I tweet #BlackLivesMatter, it does not come with an implicit “other lives don’t”, because Focus is not exclusivity. When you see someone use the BLM tag or emblem, it is because they are putting “Black Lives”, in Focus, making them the topic of discussion.
The question you should ask yourself therefore is not, “why don’t they care about other lives?” because it is not implied or otherwise indicated that that is the case. The question you should ask yourself is, “Why do they want to bring attention to Black Lives?” And there you might learn something.
How about another?
# #Feminism
Now this is a single word for a movement, probably because it is older and people used to like to find a way to attach -isms to every movement, they don’t seem to do that as much these days. Nonetheless, what it effectively does is put women in Focus.
What it does not do, is put women above men, or ask for discussion of women’s issues to the exclusion of men’s issues. What it does is bring attention to something that deserves more attention than it gets, by putting it in Focus.
I support #BlackLivesMatter, and I am a feminist, not because I think that only black people are important or that only women have problems, but because I know that everyone is equally important, but they are not treated as such in America.

When a white man kills a black man, they get a paid vacation during an “investigation” that never comes back recommending indictment, meanwhile people raise hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds in support of the killer as the media dives into the murdered man’s criminal history to find out how many parking tickets he has, in an attempt to justify his death.
This is not an acceptable state of justice. This is why we need #BlackLivesMatter, to bring attention to injustice, to put problems that are ignored into Focus.
Yes, it is true that #AllLivesMatter. It’s also true that #WhiteLivesMatter and #AsianLivesMatter and #MiddleEastLivesMatter, but it is downright dishonest to think that those ideas are in opposition to #BlackLivesMatter. All you are doing is changing the Focus, changing the Focus to somewhere that it doesn’t belong.
Ultimately, the goal is for all lives to matter. That’s what everyone wants in the end. #BlackLivesMatter exists to point out that, in America today, it’s black lives that don’t.

PyTorch Occupancy Classifier¶
The PyTorch Occupancy Image Classifier is a subclass of PyTorch generic image classifier. It can be used for inference and fine-tuning.
Methods
init
modelName Name of the model default = ‘transformer_occupancy_v1’
imgDir Directories for training data
download Dowbload the pre-trained roof type classifier
resultFile Name of the result file for predicting multple images. default = preds.csv
workDir The working directory default = tmp
printRes Show the probability and prediction default=True
train
lr1: default=0.01
epochs: default==10
batch_size: default==64
plot: default==False
**fine_tuning*
lr1: default=0.001
epochs: default==10
batch_size: default==32
plot: default==False
predictOneImage
imagePath: Path to a single image
predictMultipleImages
imagePathList: A list of image paths
resultFile: The name of the result filename default=None
predictOneDirectory
directory_name: Directory for saving all the images
resultFile: The name of the result filename default=None
Description¶
This class implements an occupancy classifier which is a subsclass of Pytorch generic classifier. It will download the pretrained model for inference. It can also be used for fine-tuning the pre-trained model if training data is provided.
Example¶
The following is an example, in which an occupancy classifier is created.
The image dataset for this example contains street view images categorized according to occupancy.
The dataset can be downloaded here.
When unzipped, the file gives the ‘occupancy_val’. You need to set ‘’imgDir’’ to the corresponding directory. The occupancy_val directory contains the images for inference:
occupancy_val
│── class_1
│ └── *.jpg
│── class_2
| └── *.jpg
Construct the image classifier¶
# import the module
from brails.modules.PytorchOccupancyClassClassifier.OccupancyClassifier import PytorchOccupancyClassifier
# initialize the classifier, give it a name and a directory
occupancyClassifier = PytorchOccupancyClassifier(modelName='transformer_occupancy_v1', download=True)
Classify Images Based on Model¶
Now you can use the trained model to predict the (occupancy) class for a given image.
# If you are running the inference from another place, you need to initialize the classifier firstly:
from brails.modules.PytorchOccupancyClassClassifier.OccupancyClassifier import PytorchOccupancyClassifier
occupancyClassifier = PytorchOccupancyClassifier(modelName='transformer_occupancy_v1', download=True)
# define the paths of images in a list
imgs = ["./occupancy_val/RRE/35856.jpg", "./occupancy_val/RRE/44325.jpg"]
# use the model to predict
predictions_dataframe = occupancyClassifier.predictMultipleImages(imgs)
The predictions will be written in preds.csv under the working directory.
Fine-tune the model for transfer learning. Transfer learning is a technique to overcome the distribution shift and adapt the model for the new task (https://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/machine-learning/shavlik-group/torrey.handbook09.pdf). You need to provide the training data.¶
from brails.modules.PytorchOccupancyClassClassifier.OccupancyClassifier import PytorchOccupancyClassifier
occupancyClassifier = PytorchOccupancyClassifier(modelName='transformer_occupancy_v1', download=True, imgDir='./occupancy_val/)
# fine-tune the base model for 5 epochs with an initial learning rate of 0.001.
occupancyClassifier.fine_tuning(lr=0.01, batch_size=64, epochs=5)
It is recommended to run the above example on a GPU machine.
Please refer to https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models for supported models. You may need to first install timm via pip: pip install timm. Currently, BRAILS only provides pre-trained roof type model based on Transformer.

How to set the DNN Data Source option on the Active Data Source field on the Reports module. The DNN Data Source retrieves data by executing a SQL query against the database configured for your DNN application. This makes it an easy way to quickly retrieve data about your site. For example, the following query retrieves a table of all the pages in your site:
SELECT * FROM {oQ}Tabs
Aside from the standard SQL syntax, this data source accepts two special 'tokens' which will be replaced when the query is run. The "{oQ}" token is replaced with the object qualifier you have configured for your database. The "{dO}" token is replaced with the database owner you have configured for your database. You can also use the longer "{objectQualifier}" and "{databaseOwner}" tokens if you wish. This allows your queries to be moved between database configurations without changing the query.
Here's how to set the DNN Data Source:
Tip: Both the Title and the Description are displayed on the module when Show Info Pane is checked. The title and description are exported with the report when Export Content is selected from the module actions menu.
Parameters: The DNN Data Source supports the four parameters listed in the "Parameterized Queries" tutorial. For example, to retrieve the record in the Users table corresponding to the current user, use the following query:
SELECT * FROM {oQ}Users WHERE UserID = @UserID

Short for information session, it is a recruiting event for students to meet with employers. It is a great opportunity to give potential employees an up-close and personal insight into your company, establish a campus presence, and collect resumes from interested students.
What kind of turnout can we expect?
It can vary depending on how well-known your company is among students. If your company has a strong presence and reputation, it can expect 50 to 80 students. An up and coming company can expect 20 to 30 students.
What days would you recommend?
The best days of the week are either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday after 6pm. Mondays are also an option, or holding the event after 5pm, although both are less optimal. We will help you schedule the most optimal time.
What location will be used to host the event?
Infosessions are held in the EECS sector of campus, most often in Soda Hall, the Computer Science building. The rooms vary from lounges, auditoriums, or classrooms, depending on availability. We will try to accommodate any room requests you may have.
What if extra equipment is required?
We can accommodate almost any equipment given enough notice. Common equipment that we have provided include a LCD projector, laptop or whiteboard.
How does your group advertise the event?
We typically post flyers among the campus buildings that will target the majors that your company is seeking. We also send an e-mail advertising your event to all our members. We will also make announcements to targeted classes on the day of the event if we feel it will help generate a stronger turnout.
How much would it cost to hold it with HKN and what does it include?
We typically ask for a standard tax-deductible donation of $800, not including food or equipment rental expenses, but more generosity is welcomed. We are a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit (IEEE, Inc.), university-affiliated organization and we use this money to help improve our services to the EECS community.
What kind of food can you provide?
The choice is really up to you and your budget. We can help you decide or you can leave it to us to choose. Our selections help distinguish our infosessions from the typical pizza infosession and provide a better experience for students.
Can you co-sponsor an infosession?
Yes, we can work with other organizations to coordinate and setup your infosession. We require that your company is part of the EECS Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) before we are able to coordinate an infosession for your company. You can determine if your company is a member by checking the list here. Acting as co-sponsor, we ask for a separate gift towards our organization.
Sounds good, who should I contact?
If you would like to register an infosession, please feel free to contact us.


Christopher Frew's letter in today's Guardian is worthy of note:
I am sure professional broadcasters will have many stories to tell of Charles Wheeler, but my favourite dates from the defection of Kim Philby at the height of the cold war (Obituaries, July 5). Wheeler was asked whether he was surprised at Philby's treason. “Not really,” replied Wheeler, “I never really trusted him. He was the sort of fellow who … smiled at breakfast, that sort of thing.” A great loss, fondly remembered.

2021 Morris JE unveiled
The Morris name returns after more than three decades on a van that weds throwback styling with a modern electric drivetrain.
by William Stopford- shares
Defunct marques are never gone forever as they always seem to be resurrected by the burgeoning Chinese car market.
While today’s MGs look little like the MG roadsters of yore, the Morris JE dusts off another illustrious British nameplate for a slavishly faithful recreation of an old design.
There is, however, a modern twist – it’s an electric vehicle.
The JE is the first product from the resurrected Morris Commercial brand. It’s a dead-ringer for the old Morris J-Type, a forward-control van produced between 1949 and 1961. This isn't, however, a replica like an Aston Martin Continuation car.
Much as the Volkswagen Type 2 (Kombi) and Citroen H Van eventually became fashionable, the Morris J-Type came to enjoy a loyal following. The JE, therefore, employs utterly delightful retro sheetmetal that goes beyond mere homage and into quasi-replica territory. You'll see some obvious differences, however, like modern front bumpers and a charging port located behind the classic pear-shaped grille.
Morris Commercial fully recognises the JE’s talents as a mobile billboard, saying its distinctive looks “provide eye-catching mobile marketing solutions”. In addition to the van, there are pickup and minibus versions forthcoming and Morris also promises autonomous driving technology down the line.
Underneath the lightweight, carbon-fibre composite body is a bespoke chassis with a lithium-ion battery powertrain. Morris expects an electric range of 321km from the 60kWh battery and the JE can be charged to 80 percent in just 30 minutes with a rapid charger. Morris hasn’t released any other specifications.
Another huge point of differentiation from the old J-Type is the price. Where the J-Type was a workaday van, the JE is more upscale boutique than fish delivery. Prices are expected to start at £60,000 (A$114,206). Blimey, that’s a bit of dosh, innit?
Of course, for that price the JE isn’t going to have a low-rent delivery van interior. The seats and steering wheel are trimmed in leather with contrast stitching and there’s a modern infotainment system.
Morris Commercial promises high-quality materials – even in the cargo bay – and an ‘exquisite level of detail’ with ‘luxury materials and quality British craftsmanship’.
That cargo bay has 5.5 cubic metres of load space and can accommodate items up to 2.4 metres in length, while the van has a total payload of up to 1000kg.
The reborn Morris Commercial brand was founded by Dr. Qu Li, a Chinese businesswoman formerly affiliated with the defunct MG Rover and who was responsible for scooping up LDV’s assets a decade ago and selling them to SAIC Motor.
She headquartered the company in Worcestershire but, while the JE was designed and engineered there, it’s not yet known where it’ll be built.
The Morris nameplate last appeared on a van version of the Austin Metro hatchback in 1985 before that car was rebranded the Austin Metrovan.
Production of the JE is set to start in 2021 though the Morris JE is unlikely to come here. A word of advice to Morris Commercial: send this to Japan. The land of Mitsuokas and the Nissan Figaro and S-Cargo would lap this up.

{% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %}Minor Planet Center API - Asterank{% endblock %} {% block scripts %} {% endblock %} {% block content %}
Asterank offers a database API for the Minor Planet Center's MPCORB.DAT data files. This API is a simple way to quickly apply constraints to a set of over 600,000 asteroids. Users can construct queries with specific constraints across all data attributes recorded by the MPC. Information is updated nightly from the MPC's MPCORB.dat dataset.
The database queries are based on mongodb's json-formatted 'find' operation. See below for an example of a complex query.
Requests are of the form:
http://asterank.com/api/mpc?query={query}&limit={limit}
MPC results are parsed per the orbit format specified here. In some cases, a field may not be present in the results if it was not present in MPCORB.dat.
This sample request lists all asteroids. The query
and limit
parameters are optional:
Results:
[ { "rms":0.6, "epoch":"K134I", "readable_des":"(1) Ceres", "H":3.34, "num_obs":6342, "ref":"MPO247369", "G":0.12, "last_obs":"20121203", "comp":"MPCLINUX ", "M":327.85412, "U":" ", "e":0.0761669, "a":2.767993, "om":80.33008, "pert_p":"30h", "d":0.2140211, "i":10.59423, "des":"00001", "flags":"0000", "num_opp":100, "w":72.16707, "pert_c":"M-v" }, ... ]
query
takes a JSON object that uses the MongoDB query language. Specifically, it can be treated like a find() operation.
For example, let's build a request that returns 10 asteroids with roughly circular orbits, low inclination, and semi-major axis less than 1.5 AU.
We construct the following query:
{ "e":{ "$lt":0.1 }, "i":{ "$lt":4 }, "a":{ "$lt":1.5 } }
In plain English, we filter objects by the following conditions:
e
, representing eccentricity, is less than ("$lt") 0.1.i
, representing inclination, is less than 4.a
, representing the semi-major axis, is less than 1.5.Finally, put it in our API request:
http://asterank.com/api/mpc?query={"e":{"$lt":0.1},"i":{"$lt":4},"a":{"$lt":1.5}}&limit=10
Results:
[ { "rms":0.52, "epoch":"K134I", "readable_des":"(138911) 2001 AE2", "H":19.1, "num_obs":366, "ref":"MPO229693", "G":0.15, "last_obs":"20120417", "comp":"MPCLINUX ", "M":199.38482, "U":" ", "e":0.0816832, "a":1.3496897, "om":171.48693, "pert_p":"38h", "d":0.62856933, "i":1.66115, "des":"D8911", "flags":"0804", "num_opp":8, "w":43.09756, "pert_c":"M-v" }, { "rms":0.5, "epoch":"K134I", "readable_des":"(163000) 2001 SW169", "H":19.0, "num_obs":429, "ref":"MPO232154", "G":0.15, "last_obs":"20120506", "comp":"MPCLINUX ", "M":157.71014, "U":" ", "e":0.0515752, "a":1.2484544, "om":8.4609, "pert_p":"38h", "d":0.70655345, "i":3.55425, "des":"G3000", "flags":"0804", "num_opp":5, "w":284.78542, "pert_c":"M-v" }, ... ]


Dig for victory
In a previous post I showed what I think being a palaeontologist is all about, especially the point that palaeontologists are different from oryctologists. The first ones study changes of biodiversity through time, the second ones extract fossils (but again, both are far from exclusive).
Here is a short summary of experience working at Upper Cretaceous excavation sites in the South of France (that’s around 80-65 million years old) namely in the Bellevue excavation site in Esperaza run by the Musée des Dinosaures.
First step is to find a place to dig.
Why along the road? It doesn’t have to be but it has two clear advantages: you can park your car next to it and it’s usually rich in fresh outcrops of rock (where you can find more fossils than in a crop field!).
The second step, once you’ve decided that there might be something in the outcrop you’ve just explored, is to remove all the “annoying stuff”. To palaeontologists that obviously means all the wonderful fauna and flora and their associated environment (usually soil) that are growing above the potential fossiliferous site (how rude of them!).
Once you’ve removed the layer of living stuff, you can start the long and interesting part: hitting rocks with a hammer and a pike during the hottest days of summer.
Finally, with a bit (a huge bit) of luck, you’ll find a fossil that was worth all this hassle.
Once you’ve found the fossil, the first step is to clean the surface facing you and start to build a trench around it in order to pour plaster over it and bring it to the lab. As you can see, paint brushes are useless here too: the hammer and the pike make ideal tools for the surrounding trench and an oyster knife and a smaller hammer do the cleaning jobs. Oh yeah, and a tube of glue. After around 80 million years, the bones get a bit fragile.
The last step is to properly clean the fossil in the lab by removing it from all the surrounding rock. The best tools are mini pneumatic-drills and loads of patience. When all that is done, the palaeontologist can start to work on the fossil.
You can find more impressive pictures on the Musée des Dinosaures webpage.

Mike Heroux and Jack Dongarra opened the meeting by welcoming everyone and inviting everyone to introduce themselves. It was then asked if we should continue the BLAST Forum meetings? The consensus was that we wish to continue the meetings but that we need the subgroups to be more focused and more active.
The following presentations were made:
BLAS functionality was the first to be addressed. Sven Hammarling of NAG gave a brief overview of the Functionality proposal that has been available via the BLAS Forum homepage. Tony Skjellum argued that the present form of the proposal is too broad and that it should be more sharply focused on functionality. Issues such as implementations, performance, and language interfaces should be covered separate proposals. Linda Kaufman suggested, and several others concurred, that each of the proposed ``new'' BLAS routines should be assigned a priority indicating the importance of its inclusion. Most participants felt that routines to generate Givens rotations and Householder transforms should have top priority. As the discussion continued it was decided that this topic would be best addressed at the subgroup meeting and the results presented at the general meeting of all participants.
Tony Skjellum then led the discussion on the proposal for the BLAS Lite. Some notational confusion ensued surrounding the definition of ``lite'' versus ``thin''. In future discussions, ``lite'' will refer to low-level primitive functions, whereas ``thin'' will refer to interfaces that do not provide overloaded functionality. The BLAS Lite as presented by Skjellum are intended to be basic low-level building blocks for constructing portable high-performance linear algebra functions. Key compiler and processor technologies such as inlining, data prefetching, unrolling, and so forth, would be exploited to obtain both high-performance and portability. Two versions of the BLAS Lite were proposed. One (debugging) version with error-checking, and another (performance) version without error-checking. To provide good performance on all problem sizes, separate interfaces for stride 1 operations may be provided, as well as separate routines for small (block) problems, e.g., matrix multiplies of size 16.
After a break, Sven Hammarling next proposed the Fortran 90 interface to the BLAS Lite. He reviewed the motivations of the project which are no error checking, no character arguments, and no run-time tests. He then presented the Fortran90 interface with its use of generic interfaces, assumed shape arrays, optional arguments, and modules. He proposed the combining of the Level 2 and 3 BLAS into a generic interface.
Jack Dongarra then led discussion on a proposed interface for the Parallel BLAS and stressed the need to establish a standard in this area. This proposed object-based interface allows the accommodation of different data distributions and is not restricted to two-dimensional data distribution. It was pointed out that a new descriptor type could be assigned for the physically based matrix distribution (PBMD), thereby allowing a different vector distribution if the process grid is two-dimensional. Tony Skjellum contended that one could obtain high-performance via redistribution of data (at the cost of extra memory). Mike Heroux commented that for many customers, there is no memory to spare. Mike Heroux of Cray and Sven Hammarling of NAG seconded this need to address standards for the parallel BLAS.
Roldan Pozo and Karin Remington of NIST next presented the NIST Sparse BLAS Toolkit. They stressed the need for user feedback, and presented their observations of sparse BLAS work. These observations were that there was no performance difference between ``thin'' and ``fat'' interfaces. The ``thin'' interface yields over 1,200 functions. Based on the higher flop rates obtained using block structured matrices, Roldan and Karin concluded that performance is more a factor of matrix structure rather than algorithmic tweaks --- in fact, it is typically best to transform the matrix into block structure first. Andrew Lumsdaine brought up issues of performance and contended that abstraction does not per se hurt performance and that a complete C++ implementation could obtain performance better than the NIST model implementation. Detailed performance information for the NIST Sparse BLAS implementation is available on the web. Issues of sparse benchmarks then arose, with Tony Skjellum suggesting that a careful study be made.
Mike Heroux and Jack Dongarra opened the morning session with a continuation of the presentations from the preceding day.
Linda Kaufman and Andy Anda presented their ideas for extensions to the existing BLAS and defined a priority for each of the proposed routines. Linda expressed her fear that too many routines are being proposed as extensions, and suggested that each routine be prioritized. Linda felt that the most important routines were for Householder transformations, SAMAXs, WAXPYs, simultaneous ISAMAXs, simultaneous SAXPYs, simultaneous SVDs, and simultaneous Givens transformations. She then presented a variety of applications for sparse matrices in which she stressed that a lot of users do not want to explicitly store the sparse matrix. Andy Anda stressed the need for routines to generate and apply rotations.
Andrew Lumsdaine next spoke about language bindings and their need between applications and language interfaces, as well as at the lower level between the library and the BLAS. The path to these bindings specifies the functionality, abstractions, language independent functions, and the question of interoperability between languages. However, he stressed that language binding issues should be considered toward the end of the process of these meetings. They cannot be adequately addressed at the beginning.
The meeting then took a short break as the participants were invited to tour the Cray machine room.
After lunch, the meeting continued with vendor presentations. Specifically, the following vendors:
The vendors expressed concern about the volume of routines that are proposed, and the necessity of reference implementations and documentation for each of the proposed routines.
Sven Hammarling of NAG presented a brief synopsis of the contents of the NAG Fortran Library, Fortran90 Library, C Library, and the Parallel Library. He stressed that the BLAS have been vital to the portability of the libraries that they offer their customers, and further cited the need for standardization of the PBLAS as parallel packages are increasingly being requested by users. He also cited the need for standardization of FFTs.
Theresa Do and Sandra Carney of Cray Research spoke of the Silicon Cray Scientific Library and the need for standards for single PE performance. Sandra further presented a comparison of sparse storage schemes, and which ones are used most often by users. She also suggested that the future is evolving toward random sparse matrices.
Chandrika Kamath of Digital Equipment Corporation presented an overview of the DXML package. She stressed that users wanted pre-defined storage schemes for sparse matrices used in iterative solvers. While experienced users were comfortable with a matrix-free formulation, and even requested such an interface, novice users had difficulty understanding the concept.
Hsin-Ying Lin of HP/Convex Corporation spoke of the MLib library for HP S-class computers. He stressed that the priorities of the math software library group are application driven due to limited resources. He listed these priorities in the order of importance as: DGEMM/DGEMV, dot products, saxpys, blas-1 operations, sparse BLAS, FFT/convolutions, LAPACK, and SCILIB/Skyline. He stressed the need for reference implementations and complete documentation for new proposals.
Shane Story of Intel Corporation spoke of the math library for Intel MP node machines provided by their Independent Software Vendor (ISV) -- Kuck and Associates. Basically, Intel does not support a math libraries group anymore, and instead hires third-party vendors to write software for their machines. They plan to tune existing libraries for their machines, and not provide any additional functionality.
Cormac Garvey of NEC primarily discussed mathematical software targeted for the NEC SX-4 class of machines. He stressed that third-party applications and public domain software are driven by customer requirements. He attends the BLAST forums to be aware of the new standards that are developing. They plan to support Fortran77, Fortran90, C, C++, HPF, and MPI applications in their libraries. And in the future they plan to support sparse BLAS and parallel BLAS. He prefers an approach to the meetings looking at applications. And he asked the question of why aren't third-party software developers using BLAS? He felt that we need participation by more ISVs.
Joan McComb of IBM spoke of the ESSL and PESSL mathematical packages available for their machines. The priorities of their math library development are focused on the demands of the customers' applications. She primarily focused on the customers' request for HPF support, and with this the need for standardization of the parallel BLAS.
Summaries of the meeting were then provided by Mike Heroux, Tony Skjellum, and Jack Dongarra.
Mike Heroux summarized by presenting his library development perspectives. He felt that we should consider the following points:
He stressed that we should consider the value added by the BLAS, specifically in providing performance with immature compilers. The BLAS are primarily used in computational chemistry and eigenvalue computations, and have a modest use in finite-element (FEM) codes. They are used little elsewhere in third-party codes. As for the impact if there were no BLAS, he suggested that the impact would not be as great as we would like. He felt that the major impact of no BLAS would be the improvement of optimization in compilers. As for the need for BLAS in old applications versus new applications, he stressed that we need to see what's useful in a broad spectrum of codes. There are dangers in using current applications as a target. And finally, he suggested that perhaps we should consider alternative standardizations.
Tony Skjellum presented sample implementations of the BLAS Lite to help clarify the previous day's confusion on ``lite'' and ``thin''. He also suggested that we eliminate plenary meetings and that we only need to meet in subcommittees. He was concerned that there are not enough application developers, so these technical forums do not adequately represent their views. We need participation in these meetings by ISVs. The ISVs do not use the BLAS or LAPACK, and the hardware vendors are increasingly using these third-party code organizations to supply software for their machines. Should we limit the scope/focus of these meetings to only linear algebra kernels? He suggested an application-based study of the needs of the community.
Jack Dongarra wrapped up the meeting by suggesting that the following subgroups and subgroup leaders should meet, communicate with the ISVs and application developers, and bring their proposals back to the plenary committee.
The former major domo mailing aliases will be reset with the existing members being put into the blast-comm alias. The new major domo mailing aliases shall be: blast-funct, blast-lite, blast-parallel, blast-sparse, blast-lb, blast-nearterm.
The global editors are Andrew Lumsdaine and Tony Skjellum.
The tentative date of the next forum meeting is:
with a preliminary deadline of January 15, 1997 for subgroup progress.
The meeting was then adjourned by Mike Heroux and Jack Dongarra at 2:30 PM.

In the pancreas, the buildup of mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that help the body absorb food and key nutrients, resulting in malnutrition and poor growth. In the liver, the thick mucus can block the bile duct, causing liver disease. In men, CF can affect their ability to have children.
People with CF can have a variety of symptoms, including:
People with only one copy of the defective CF gene are called carriers, but they do not have the disease. Each time two CF carriers have a child, the chances are:
The defective CF gene contains a slight abnormality called a mutation.
There are more than 1,700 known mutations of the disease. Most genetic tests only screen for the most common CF mutations. Therefore, the test results may indicate a person who is a carrier of the CF gene is not a carrier.
To couple at risk of giving birth to a child with the the disease;
Diagnosing cystic
fibrosis
is
done through
a newborn screening, a sweat test, a genetic or carrier test, and a clinical evaluation
Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. The most common form of Tay-Sachs disease becomes apparent in infancy
Healthy babies develop vision, movement, hearing, and other vital functions in part because enzymes clear out fatty protein and other unwanted material that can interfere with growth. But a baby with Tay-Sachs disease is born without one of those important enzymes, hexosaminidase A (HEXA). So, as those fatty proteins build up in the brain, they hurt the baby's sight, hearing, movement, and mental development. A child can only get Tay-Sachs by inheriting the gene for it from both parents. Tay-Sachs can be detected before birth, so couples who are thinking of having children may want to get a blood test to find out whether their child would be likely to have it.
In rare forms of the disease;
Those problems may not appear until the child is 2 to 5 years old. The disease progresses more slowly, but death usually occurs by the time the child is 15 years old.
In another, milder form of Tay-Sachs (called late-onset Tay-Sachs), the disease causes muscle weakness and slurred speech, but sight, hearing, and mental capabilities remain intact.
There is no cure for any form of Tay-Sachs disease. But doctors may be able to help a child
cope
with its
symptoms by prescribing medicines to relieve pain, manage seizures, and control muscle
spasticity.
If your
child has been diagnosed with Tay-Sachs or both you and your partner are carriers of the
gene,
talk
to your
doctor or a genetic counselor about ongoing research. You also might seek support from a
group
such
as the
National Tay-Sachs and Allied Diseases Foundation or the March of Dimes Foundation.
Fragile X syndrome also known as FXS, is caused by mutations in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. The FMR1 gene usually makes a protein called fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP). FMRP is needed for normal brain development. People who have FXS do not make this protein.
FXS affects both males and females. However, females often have milder symptoms than males. The exact number of people who have FXS is unknown, but it has been estimated that about 1.4 per 10,000 males and 0.9 per 10,000 females have FXS.
Fragile X syndrome have five general categories where individuals often show altered or arrested development.
Generally people may experience:
Currently, there is no cure for Fragile X syndrome nor are there any definitive treatments other than helping the individual develop to their maximal potential through education; therapies such as speech, language, behavioral, and physical; and other therapies. Fragile X detects FMR1 DNA (PCR or Southern blot methods)
Fragile X syndrome is a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. Usually, males are more severely affected by this disorder than females. Affected individuals usually have delayed development of speech and language by age 2.

{% extends 'layouts/layout.html' %} {% block pageTitle %} How to publish to Heroku - NHS.UK prototype kit {% endblock %} {% block beforeContent %} {% include "how-tos/includes/breadcrumb.html" %} {% endblock %} {% block content %}
Heroku allows you to get your prototype online quickly. You can then share your prototype with others and test it with users and on different devices.
DO NOT enter real user data into prototypes hosted on Heroku. If your prototype stores or collects user data, talk to a security professional about appropriate security steps you must take.
A prototype deployed on Heroku is called an app.
Before you can use Heroku, you need to set up Git on your prototype.
If you’re new to Heroku, sign up for a free account (opens in new window). When asked what language you use, select node.js
.
Install the Heroku toolbelt (opens in new window).
The toolbelt lets you use Heroku through the terminal. You will need to restart the terminal after installing the toolbelt.
Log into your Heroku account by running:
heroku login
You need a unique name for your app. The name is used in the url for your prototype. For example the name:
nhsuk-medicines-prototype
will create an app at:
nhsuk-medicines-prototype.herokuapp.com
To create your app, enter in the terminal:
heroku apps:create [name of your app] --region eu
Replace [name of your app]
with your app name from step 5.
Prototypes made with the kit require a username and password when published online. This stops members of the public coming across your prototype by accident.
heroku config:set PROTOTYPE_USERNAME=username_here
heroku config:set PROTOTYPE_PASSWORD=password_here
Make sure any changes you've made to your prototype have been committed to git.
git add .
git commit -m "your commit message here"
Then push your work to Heroku:
git push heroku master
Deploying may take a minute or so.
After your work is deployed, you will be able to view it on the web by visiting [name].herokuapp.com
.
You can also open your prototype in a browser by running:
heroku open
{% include "how-tos/includes/back-button.html" %}

Are you sure you want to remove this entity, "{{entityName}}", from Umbraco Cloud?
This will delete the file on this environment!
This will also remove it from the Git repository for this environment, after which you
will be able to transfer this removal to another environment via the Umbraco
Cloud UI.

What is wrong with these two lemmas:
@[simp] lemma subsingleton.is_open [subsingleton α] (s : set α) : is_open s := subsingleton.set_cases is_open_empty is_open_univ s @[simp] lemma is_open_discrete [discrete_topology α] (s : set α) : is_open s := (discrete_topology.eq_bot α).symm ▸ trivial
They are both true so nothing is wrong with them.
(deleted)
do you mean (now fixed)is_open_univ
?
Hint: it's not the proofs.
(deleted)
Hint: it's something with simp...
I'll add an instance [subsingleton A] : discrete_topology A
then the first should follow from the second one.
Well they look pretty confluent to me
I've spent an hour looking at them before I figured it out. Apparently the second lemma removes the first one from the simp set because they have the same conclusion... lean#163
