In graphic design, a pull quote (also known as a lift-out pull quote) is a key phrase, quotation, or excerpt that has been pulled from an article and used as a page layout graphic element, serving to entice readers into the article or to highlight a key topic. It is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface and on the same page. Pull quotes are often used in magazine and newspaper articles, annual reports, and brochures, as well as on the web. They can add visual interest to text-heavy pages with few images or illustrations.
Placement of a pull quote on a page may be defined in a publication’s or website’s style guide. Such a typographic device may or may not be aligned with a column on the page. Some designers, for example, choose not to align the quote. In that case, the quotation cuts into two or more columns, as in the example shown. Because the pull quote invites the reader to read about the highlighted material, the pull quote should appear before the text it cites and, generally, fairly close to it.
Pull quotes need not be a verbatim copy of the text being quoted; depending on a publication’s house style, pull quotes may be abbreviated for space or paraphrased for clarity, with or without indication.
A disadvantage of pull quotes as a design element is that they can disrupt the reading process of readers invested in reading the text sequentially by drawing attention to ghost fragments out of context. At the other extreme, when pull quotes are used to break up what would otherwise be a formless wall of text, pull quote can serve as visual landmarks to help the reader maintain a sense of sequence and place.

The goal of Blueprint is to teach high school students with basic computer science backgrounds how to develop and code a functional project (from start to finish). We need your help to make this happen! We are looking for undergrads, grads, and professionals to fill the following roles:
Learnathon Only (March 4)
Learnathon/Hackathon (March 5)
We welcome any undergraduate or graduate students interested! We can't provide travel reimbursement, but non-MIT college students are still invited to sign up.
Yes! You can do any combination you'd like.
Yes!
Students will have basic, foundational computer science backgrounds — think AP Computer Science or its equivalent.
Workshops on the learnathon day will be focused on iOS, Android, or web development, so workshop teachers and mentors should have experience in one (or more) of those topics! Tech talks can be on any computer science topic.
Mentors on the learnathon day will act as TAs for the classes, so experience with iOS, Android, or web development is preferred. For the hackathon day, mentors with a wider range of experience are welcome.
If you have other questions, please email us at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>We're happy to help.


A paper that isn’t accompanied by the software or data produced is just advertising. (Claerbout & Karrenbach, 1992)
People find reproducible results more trustworthy…
…and cite you more! (Piwowar & Vision, 2013)
Reduce duplicated effort and increase impact.
We've talked about:
For research, we need one more step: archival of software and/or data.
Consider: what if you cite this, then someone modifies or deletes it?
2009 survey: 91% of scientists consider software “important” or “very important” to research. (Hannay et al, 2009)
But, 40–70% of software used is not cited. (Pan et al., 2015. Howison et al., 2016)
Our research results depend on software and data— different versions of software and data changes our answers.
Without proper citations, your work is not reproducible.
Also, academia relies on citations for credit. (for better or worse)

“If you've already licensed your code and have good documentation then we expect that it should take less than an hour to prepare and submit your paper to JOSS.”
Lorena Barba describes “reproducibility packages” associated with papers, sharing figures under CC-BY:
“For every figure that presents some result, we bundle the files needed to reproduce it — input or configuration files used to run the simulation(s) behind the result; code to process raw data into derived data; and scripts to create output graphs — and deposit them together with the figure into an open-data repository, such as Figshare. Figshare assigns the bundle a DOI, which we then include in the figure caption so readers can easily find the data and re-create the result. Our lab uses these packages as test beds for our in-house software, to verify that the results haven’t been compromised by software modifications. And because we maintain a public history of all changes, we achieve what one of my students calls ‘unimpeachable provenance’.”


Lists and Links
We have to create an instruction on how to build a webpage and move it to the production server in listing format.
- Create a new folder called "listsandlinks" in your repository folder.
- Inside listsandlinks create a file called "index.html" and a file called "main.css"
- In index.html create an ordered list of step by step instructions to create a new webpage on the production server.
- Also create an unordered list of 5 or more links to websites with useful webdesign related information.
- In the nav section, create an unordered list of links with a link back to your main index page.
- In your main index.html file in public_html, add an unordered list of links to the nav section with a link to "listsandlinks".
- In your main index.html file in public_html, add an unordered list of links to the nav section with a link to "listsandlinks".
- Turn in your work.


Example:

Quarter of world may not have access to Covid-19 vaccine until 2022: Study
These findings together suggest that the operational challenges of the global Covid-19 vaccination programme will be at least as difficult as the scientific challenges associated with their development.


Most JavaScript scripts are placed into a HTML document by using one of three different ways
Some of HTML elements have incredibly handy attributes called event attributes, which values are executed when a certain event takes place. For example, onclick attribute of a button is activated when the button is being clicked by the user. This way, we can execute JavaScript code as a response to an event.
<button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = 'Hello World!'">
Click me!
</button>
Script above changes a paragraph when the button is clicked
Scripts can also be placed within <script> element, in order to avoid writing long scripts into event attributes.
<button type="button" onclick="myFunction()">
Click me!
</button>
<script>
function myFunction() {
document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = "Hello world!"
}
</script>
[DEMO PARAGRAPH]
Script elements can be placed anywhere in the HTML document, either in body or head section but it's recommended to put them at the end of the body section, because loading scripts slows down the display of the page
This method is the best one, because we can separate JavaScript and HTML, which makes the page easier to maintain. External scripts can be imported by using src attribute of the script element.
<script src="script.js"></script>

This is an example website on how to use Travis CI to build and deploy your website automatically. The idea can be applied to Github Pages, Amazon S3, and Netlify, etc. For this particular example, I’m using Github Pages.
Below are some R code chunks. First we show the content of .travis.yml
:
cat(readLines('../.travis.yml'), sep = '\n')
language: r
dist: trusty
sudo: false
branches:
only:
- master
cache:
packages: yes
directories:
- $HOME/bin
before_script:
- Rscript -e 'blogdown::install_hugo()'
script:
- Rscript -e 'blogdown::build_site()'
deploy:
provider: pages
skip_cleanup: true
github_token: $GITHUB_TOKEN
on:
branch: master
local_dir: public
fqdn: travis-blogdown.yihui.name
Then we show the number of lines of each .html
and .css
file in the hugo-xmin
theme:
# find ../themes/hugo-xmin \( -name '*.html' -o -name '*.css' \) | xargs wc -l
files = list.files(
'../themes/hugo-xmin', '[.](html|css)$', recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE
)
lines = lapply(files, function(f) {
data.frame(n = length(readLines(f)), file = f)
})
lines = do.call(rbind, lines)
lines = rbind(lines, data.frame(n = sum(lines$n), file = 'total'))
knitr::kable(lines)
| n | file |
|---|---|
| 0 | total |


Sentence to hide or show goes here.
This example has been simplified to highlight the functions for creating a show/hide effect using JavaScript. An actual implementation would also provide an indication of the current state of the show/hide control (i.e. is it hidden currently?). For example, instead of using two controls, one for hide and one for show, you might use one control that changes based on the current state. See PG 20 for information and examples on this requirement.


The flow of the numerics through the computations is as follows. The inputs are time series in Pressure, Temperature and Water level in geo-environments like riverbank or coast. First the unperturbed model is computed. Follow the blue 1 to see the flow of the computation. The outcome is represented in a red line. The red-line is checked to fit the measured data in the black line (Fig. 1). If a reasonably good fit between measured (black - line) water level and computed (red-line) water level is found, then, the pressure is globally increased with 0.5kPa. In the numerics flow this is done along the green 2.


Options
All options can be specified globally via properties of toolbox.options
.
Any individual options can be configured on a per-handler basis, via the Object
passed as the
third parameter to toolbox.router
methods.
debug [Boolean]
Determines whether extra information is logged to the browser's console.

If networkTimeoutSeconds
is set, then any network requests that take longer than that amount of time
will automatically fall back to the cached response if one exists. When
networkTimeoutSeconds
is not set, the browser's native networking timeout logic applies.
Default: null
cache [Object]
Various properties of cache
control the behavior of the default cache when set via
toolbox.options.cache
, or the cache used by a specific request handler.
cache.name [String]
The name of the Cache
used to store Response
objects. Using a unique name
allows you to customize the cache's maximum size and age of entries.
Default: Generated at runtime based on the service worker's registration.scope
value.
cache.maxEntries [Number]
Imposes a least-recently used cache expiration policy
on entries cached via the various built-in handlers. You can use this with a cache that's dedicated
to storing entries for a dynamic set of resources with no natural limit. Setting cache.maxEntries
to, e.g.,
10
would mean that after the 11th entry is cached, the least-recently used entry would be
automatically deleted. The cache should never end up growing beyond cache.maxEntries
entries.
This option will only take effect if cache.name
is also set.
It can be used alone or in conjunction with cache.maxAgeSeconds
.
Default: null
cache.maxAgeSeconds [Number]
Imposes a maximum age for cache entries, in seconds.
You can use this with a cache that's dedicated to storing entries for a dynamic set of resources
with no natural limit. Setting cache.maxAgeSeconds
to, e.g., 60 * 60 * 24
would mean that any
entries older than a day would automatically be deleted.
This option will only take effect if cache.name
is also set.
It can be used alone or in conjunction with cache.maxEntries
.
Default: null
Handlers
There are five built-in handlers to cover the most common network strategies. For more information about offline strategies see the Offline Cookbook.
toolbox.networkFirst
Try to handle the request by fetching from the network. If it succeeds, store the response in the cache. Otherwise, try to fulfill the request from the cache. This is the strategy to use for basic read-through caching. It's also good for API requests where you always want the freshest data when it is available but would rather have stale data than no data.
toolbox.cacheFirst
If the request matches a cache entry, respond with that. Otherwise try to fetch the resource from the network. If the network request succeeds, update the cache. This option is good for resources that don't change, or have some other update mechanism.
toolbox.fastest
Request the resource from both the cache and the network in parallel. Respond with whichever returns first. Usually this will be the cached version, if there is one. On the one hand this strategy will always make a network request, even if the resource is cached. On the other hand, if/when the network request completes the cache is updated, so that future cache reads will be more up-to-date.
toolbox.cacheOnly
Resolve the request from the cache, or fail. This option is good for when you need to guarantee that no network request will be made, for example saving battery on mobile.
toolbox.networkOnly
Handle the request by trying to fetch the URL from the network. If the fetch fails, fail the request. Essentially the same as not creating a route for the URL at all.
Methods
toolbox.router.get(urlPattern, handler, options)
toolbox.router.post(urlPattern, handler, options)
toolbox.router.put(urlPattern, handler, options)
toolbox.router.delete(urlPattern, handler, options)
toolbox.router.head(urlPattern, handler, options)
Create a route that causes requests for URLs matching urlPattern
to be resolved by calling handler
. Matches requests using the GET, POST, PUT, DELETE or HEAD HTTP methods respectively.
urlPattern
- an Express style route. See the docs for the path-to-regexp module for the full syntaxhandler
- a request handler, as described aboveoptions
- an object containing options for the route. This options object will be passed to the request handler. Theorigin
option is specific to the router methods, and can be either an exact string or a Regexp against which the origin of the Request must match for the route to be used.
toolbox.router.any(urlPattern, handler, options)
Like toolbox.router.get
, etc., but matches any HTTP method.
toolbox.router.default
Takes a function to use as the request handler for any GET request that does not match a route.
toolbox.precache(arrayOfURLs)
Add each URL in arrayOfURLs to the list of resources that should be cached during the service worker install step. Note that this needs to be called before the install event is triggered, so you should do it on the first run of your script.
toolbox.cache(url, options)
Causes the resource at url
to be added to the cache and returns a Promise that resolves with void. The options
parameter supports the debug
and cache
global options.
toolbox.uncache(url, options)
Causes the resource at url
to be removed from the cache and returns a Promise that resolves to true if the cache entry is deleted. The options
parameter supports the debug
and cache
global options.

BUZZ! Buzz! Buzz! Listen to the swarming gnats!
In Lapland when the summer sun burns hot, day and night, the Lapp children have much pain. This is all because of the spider!
In old days there were no mosquitoes in Lapland. But in the pleasant country to the south, the mosquitoes lived, and buzzed, and sucked their suppers.
One day all the mosquitoes began to talk of seeing Lapland, for they had heard so much about it. A spider, that had run about Lapland, had told them of its wonders. How the cuckoos sang sweetly, the berries ripened, and the flowers bloomed! Yes indeed! And the reindeer had such juicy skins, and there were dogs and goats and little animals with no places to hide in; and Lapp children sleeping outside without covers. And there were nice wet bogs waiting for the mosquitoes' eggs. And the sun shone night and day, so that the mosquitoes could always find food.
But that spider did not tell them of the long, freezing night, when the sun never shone for weeks! Nor did the spider say:
"Such fine nets as I spin among the loose stones, where mosquitoes do not see them!"
Oh yes! Those southern mosquitoes longed to be in Lapland. But the Mother of the Mosquitoes said:
"First let us send some scouts there, to find what the land is like."
Six went. A reindeer whisked one of them off his tail and crushed it. Another fell into a milking pail and was drowned. The third was smothered by tent-smoke. A fourth was killed by an old Lapp woman. Only two got safely back to the pleasant southern land.
These two said that Lapland was good in spots.
The Mother of the Mosquitoes then said:
"Let the gnats go to Lapland. We will stay here."
But the two scout mosquitoes said, that everything would be well if all the mosquitoes together, at once, would fly north. So all the mosquitoes in a great swarm flew north to Lapland.
Oh yes! There they are today, when the summer sun burns hot--swarms and swarms of them, like dark clouds. They buzz and bite.
Oh yes! And the spider spins and spins and spins fine nets among the loose stones, where the mosquitoes cannot see them. The mosquitoes fly into the nets, and the spider runs along the threads and eats them!

   Romance? Well, forget it. You figure romance these days only comes in cheap novels next to the tabloids at the supermarket.
Does any of this ring true for you? Then, I have a light hearted, fairy tale of a romance for you. It is called DON JUAN DEMARCO. There is not much in it, but what there is is a delight and will reaffirm your belief in life and especially in romance.
DON JUAN DEMARCO asks the question what is reality and why do you care. Is reality a bunch of messy old facts or can you adopt a wonderful fantasy and make it your reality through force of will? Is a firmly and completely believed fantasy more valid than mere facts?
DON JUAN DEMARCO (Johnny Depp) is the world's greatest lover. By the age of 21, he has made love to over 1,500 women, but he says he has seduced none of them.  His name is Italian, he speaks with a Castilian accent, he claims to have come from Mexico, and he is lives in the US.
Nobody can sweet talk women like he can. His handholding scene is the most erotic I have ever seen excepting only for the one in THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. When his one true love asks him on the beach on the Island of Eros how many lovers he has had before her, he feels he must tell her the truth. He says, "1502 including you". After she then leaves him forever, he comments "I think she was expecting a lessor number".
After she ditches him, he decides his life is not worth living since he can only love her, and he decides to commit suicide. On the way to kill himself, he drops by the Hotel Seville and first makes love to just one more stranger. He is saved from his death by a local psychologist, Dr. Jack Mickler (Marlon Brando). Dr. Mickler agrees to treat him without medication if Don Juan will tell the doctor his story.
As the mesmerizing story unfolds, Dr. Mickler becomes a believer. Moreover, it begins to work a spell on him and starts to rekindle his love life with his wife of thirty years (Faye Dunaway). Don Juan's life is fascinating.  Girls lined up to pay to kiss him when he was an adolescent. By the time, he reached sixteen, well, let's just say that many adventures awaited him.
There is a lot to recommend this delightful bit of fluff, but let me get the bad news out of the way first. I am sorry to report that the great Marlon Brando has been kidnapped! In his place, they have a much larger, quite mediocre, and very boring actor. Although he does look like Brando, he is clearly someone else. The great Brando owned every scene he play in. Even when he overacted, he always commanded attention. This clown makes you look at your watch every time the camera is on him. Faye Dunaway tries to mimic his stoicism and comes close. Their non-performances were able to knock my rating down a peg or two.
There is a lot wonderful about DON JUAN DEMARCO, but at the top is the marvelous performance by Johnny Depp. The words flow from his lips like butter. His screen presence was completely convincing. There was no doubt in my mind that he was DON JUAN DEMARCO.
The script by Jeremy Leven is worthy of the Brothers Grimm. The cinematography by Ralf D. Bode and the set decoration of Mexico is evocative of a romantic era of long ago. It has the feel of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE. The natural and richly colorful sets and the warm glow of the filming makes happiness flow through all of your veins. The costumes by Kirsten Everberg are full of romance and love. Finally, this was the first film in a while that has a musical score that I thought really adds to the ambiance.
The director, Jeremy Leven, understood the mood he wanted to create and did it quite well. Why he had to cast Brando and Dunaway, I will never fully understand. Yes, I guess, he must have figured that they would add to the box office take, but when he saw the dailies, why didn't he change his mind and get some other actors? Oh well, ...
DON JUAN DEMARCO runs a quick 1:32.  Any kid older than 12 who is interested in romance would like it. I recommend it to you, and I award it ** 1/2. As I said earlier, it had the potential for a much higher rating.
**** = One of the top few films of this or any year. A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show.  Totally unbearable.

Template strings provide syntactic sugar for constructing strings. This is similar to string interpolation features in Perl, Python and more. Optionally, a tag can be added to allow the string construction to be customized, avoiding injection attacks or constructing higher level data structures from string contents.
Encapsulate template strings in backticks (`
).
Open your browser's console to view the output of this code.
var name = 'Bob';
var time = 'today';
function tag(literals, ...values) {
// The first parameter is an array of all literals in the template.
console.log(literals[0]);
console.log(literals[1]);
console.log(literals[2]);
// The second is an array of all values.
console.log(values[0]);
console.log(values[1]);
return 'Tags can also return an object.';
}
console.log(`Multi-line strings are allowed
in template strings.`);
console.log(`Hello ${name}. How are you ${time}?`);
console.log(tag`Hello ${name}. How are you ${time}?`);

ThingStore is an open source project, allowing you to store and visualize numerical data from all kinds of sources. Connect sensors, monitor your computers, or track your finances. Using its open API, you can push data to ThingStore, visualize it in pretty graphs, and later extract it again, to do other fun stuff with it. Eventually, you will be able to set triggers directly from within ThingStore, and use them to execute certain actions whenever your data changes in a defined way. But we're not quite that yet.
In ThingStore, data is grouped by Things. Each thing can have multiple metrics, which define one timeseries of numerical data points. A thing always belongs to a single user. Additionally, each user can define multiple API keys, to access the ThingStore API without having to provide username and password. For now, all API keys are created equal, but eventually, users will be able to set different permissions for different API keys.
ThingStore is released under the MIT open source license. Feel free to contribute, and make ThingStore more awesome.
If your find a bug or are missing a feature, feel free to fork our GitHub Repository, or leave us a note in form of an issue.

Kanister: Application-Level Data Management¶
While it is possible to both protect, restore, and migrate applications at the storage volume level, this is not always desirable for distributed data services that might be eventually consistent. There are also a number of advantages that can be obtained from operating on data at the application level. This includes faster incremental copies, strongly consistent point-in-time snapshots, the ability to rescale replicas across clusters, and greater cross-cloud portability. Further, in a world where developers are increasingly responsible for the data services used in their application stacks, we believe that there should still be an explicit separation of concerns with developers having the ability to customize their data lifecycle but operations having full global visibility to meet business and legal requirements.
As a response to these concerns, we are introducing Kanister, an open-source application-level data management framework. The follow sections describe Kanister's architecture with examples and shows how it can be used and extended.
Finally, it is important to note that the data lifecycle workflow or interface does not change when Kanister is used. The same protection, restore, and migration workflows already explored will work transparently with Kanister.
Kanister Overview
Kanister Design¶
Design Goals¶
The design of Kanister was driven by five main goals:
- Application-Level: Performing data life management at the application-level is the emerging sweet spot given the increasing distributed nature of cloud-native data services (e.g., NoSQL systems such as MongoDB).
- Ops Focused, Dev Friendly: A lifecycle management solution should solve operations needs including global monitoring, visibility, and compliance with business requirements while allowing self-service and providing standard implementations of common tasks.
- Mechanism vs. Policy: There should be a clean separation of mechanism (actual tasks or actions) vs. the policy (scheduling, selection, etc.). This will allow for faster independent evolution on both sides.
- Clean Encapsulation: There should be a standard well-defined API for common lifecycle management tasks. This enables pluggable implementations for diverse and evolving data services.
- Extensible: Any solution must be easy to customize or extend for custom data services and non-standard requirements. Extensibility should be enabled for both developers and operations.
Components¶
The Kanister framework, based on the Kubernetes Operator framework, is composed of three main components:
- Blueprint: A blueprint that defines the actions that need to be performed for each lifecycle stage (e.g., backup data, mask data, etc.). asdf
- (Optional) Sidecar Container: For applications that do not come with all required tools, a Kanister sidecar container can be added to unlock new and requirement functionality (e.g, upload to an object store).
- Driver: Kanister is driven by a driver that could be a standalone per-application controller, a CLI tool, or a global controller embedded into the Kasten platform.
A reference to the blueprint and sidecar are combined in the application description (e.g., via a Helm Chart, Deployment, StatefulSet, etc.) while the drive resides as an application either in the container platform or potentially even external to it.
Installing Kanister-Enabled Applications¶
Before we dive into how Kanister works and can be extended, it is
helpful to see how easy it can be to use. For example, to deploy
MongoDB, an application we have integrated with Kanister, one would
simply use Helm
to run the following command.
$ helm repo add kasten https://charts.kasten.io/
$ helm install kasten/kanister-mongodb-replicaset \
--name my-release \
--set kanister.cloud_api_key="${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" \
--set kanister.cloud_api_secret="${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}" \
--set kanister.bucket_name="${KANISTER_BUCKET_NAME}"
The above Helm Chart, described in more detail below, adds a sidecar container that can backup data to an S3-compliant object store and also restore from it. If you are using Google Container Engine (GKE), you can follow the Google Cloud Storage documentation to obtain AWS S3-API compatible access and secret keys.
Extending Applications with Kanister¶
As shown in the below example, extending an application to use Kanister is usually simple. In this case, we extended the public MongoDB ReplicaSet Helm Chart (v1.4.1).
The most minimal change required, as seen in the first part of the below diff, is an annotation so that the Kanister driver can both recognize the Kanister-enabled application as well as determine the blueprint that should be used.
Second, as this application template did not contain tools to efficiently backup and restore MongoDB data, we add a sidecar container to the chart. The sidecar container contains tools to upload and download artifacts to and from an object store and the Percona MongoDB Consistent Backup Tool. This sidecar container (and Helm chart) is additionally configured to read secrets it will use to authenticate against the object store.

Blueprint Definition¶
As mentioned above, a blueprint defines the actions that need to be performed for each lifecycle stage. Blueprints can be versioned, namespaced, and operator or developer provided.
More concretely, a blueprint consists of multiple top-level actions (e.g., backup, restore, migrate, mask data, etc.) where each action works on a Kubernetes-level application object (e.g., StatefulSet).
In turn, each action is composed of multiple named phases. Each phase performs some distinctive task and can be templated based on the metadata found in the application object. Examples of phases include extracting data from a data service, uploading extracted data to an object store, or even scaling a StatefulSet up and down. Phases are executed sequentially and each phase is only invoked if the previous phase completed successfully.
To illustrate this, we show a simplified version of the MongoDB
blueprint below. In particular, we will look at the backup action and
the two phases associated with it. The full blueprint can be found
here. The first phase, named
takeConsistentBackup
and starting at line 5, is templated and logs
into the Kanister sidecar of the MongoDB StatefulSet it is running
against. It then executes the mongodb-consistent-backup
tool to
generate a database backup. This backup is used in the next phase,
named pushToBlobStore
and starting at line 19, that copies that
artifact over to the previously configured object storage bucket.

Adding Custom Blueprints to Kasten¶
While we have the ability to add custom blueprints to the Kasten system, the API is currently still in flux. If this is something you would like to explore, please reach out and we will be happy to work with you to enable it in your cluster.

[gecode-users] FloatVar implementation
Christian Schulte
cschulte at kth.se
Wed Apr 9 20:39:24 CEST 2008
What you intend to do sounds very reasonable.
As it comes to integration versus contribution: we would wish integration
but we might have to settle for contribution. We can or want to integrate
only if:
- The code is not tainted by a too restricted license, so only MIT.
- The code is of high quality such that it is well tested, well
documented, useful for many people, and realistic as it comes to
performance. We will not integrate code that we can not fix or port
ourselves.
- The code must be portable and conform to the C++ standard.
I believe that you should make it for all three criteria. But let's see. We
can first go for contribution and later promote to integration.
Cheers
Christian

The load order modal allows you to select an order of plugins to load. It appears automatically when you press the Start Session button on the Start View.
The load order modal cannot be closed because opening it requires setting the game mode and initializing definitions in XEditLib.
Plugin items
The load order modal lists a number of plugin items. Each item can be checked or unchecked to indicate whether or not it should be loaded, and displays both the target load order (in hexadecimal) and filename of the plugin to load. A maximum of 255 plugins can be loaded due to limits of the hexadecimal FormID system.
Drag and drop
You can drag and drop plugins to change their order. This is a backup mechanism for situations in which your load order was not parsed correctly, or when you want to make a small adjustment without restarting the program.
Plugin states
-
Disabled - Plugins are colored red when one or more of their masters are unavailable to load. Plugins are considered unavailable to load if they are not found in your data directory or if they are disabled. You can move your mouse over a disabled plugin to get a tooltip specifying the masters which are unavailable to it. Disabled plugins cannot be activated.
-
Required - Plugins are colored green when an active plugin requires them as a master. You can move your mouse over a required plugin to get a tooltip specifying the active plugins which require it.
What you see if what you get
When a plugin is activated any masters it requires will automatically be activated as well. Similarly, when a plugin is deactivated, any plugins which require it will be deactivated as well. This means that the load order modal presents the exact load order that will be loaded into zEdit - what you see is what you get.
Hotkeys
-
Ctrl + Click - Toggles the selection of the plugin clicked, preserving the current selection.
-
Shift + Click - Selects all plugins between the clicked plugin and the previously selected plugin.
-
Ctrl + Shift + Click - Same as Shift + Click, but also preserves the current selection.
-
Up Arrow - Moves the selection up one plugin. Can be used for multi-selection if Shift is held.
-
Down Arrow - Moves the selection down one plugin. Can be used for multi-selection if Shift is held.
-
Space - Toggles the activation of the selected plugins.
-
Ctrl + Space - Activates the selected plugins.
-
Shift + Space - Deactivates the selected plugins.
-
Ctrl + A - Selects all plugins.
-
Escape - Clears your current plugin selection.
-
Enter - Loads the active plugins. Equivalent to clicking the OK button.


(This review appeared in the ReadReverb newsletter, Feb 3, 2006, and on the ReadReverb website)
So this is what Alan Bennett's been trying to do with those dreadful bloody Talking Heads all these years. Jeanette Winterson, with her debut novel, has managed to flesh out a rich, tortured, brittle, and above all Northern ageing lady in a way that Bennett never could. Poor Bennett, trying to recreate his mother, or at least rebuild his mother's shattered mind, while Winterson---and the main character is called Jeanette, notice---breezes through fluid gorgeous prose while fitting together a character both easy to construct and (well, she should be) impossible to convincingly maintain: a harridan, an interfering, self-righteous, bigoted, over-religious Protestant old baggage. But all the time, like the young narrator, you love this dreadful woman as much as you hate her.
Oranges are Not the Only Fruit is a novel about the relationship between a young girl and her mother, as the former tries desperately to become an adult and the latter foot-binding her with edicts and passages from the Bible. None of the saints, though: God forbid. It moves slowly and thematically through the life of the daughter, while the mother tries her hardest to be constant and unyielding, not bending to the looser, more liberal lifestyle her daughter is trying to adopt.
There's always a lot made about the sex, of course. The torrid antics of the main character, and the hints of it that occur in relation to the local sweetshop owners who, in the words of Mother, "'dealt in unnatural passions.' I thought she meant they put chemicals in the sweets." But through subtle touches---photos disappearing overnight from old albums, hints of affairs that weren't just with Mother's "downfall" Pierre---all is linked back to Mother. Mother is the subject, and Jeanette is just a cipher, bringing her Mother to three-dimensional life, created by that Protestant God, almost solely in order to create Mother in turn for the reader. Even in the deepest of despairs Jeanette seems resigned to her fate: as the narrator she can see it coming. But her mother battles on, against Satan and evil, against the fornicators next door and under her very roof. The resignation springs from the knowledge that, whatever Jeanette's story, her mother's must be told too.
There are faux-naive sections that cut with the main narrative and are intrusive, gauche and sluggish, and although they develop well through the book---moving from children's stories through to adolescent girls' stories---they are juxtaposed clumsily and suddenly, and thus jar with the harshness of Mother's reality. Ultimately the story is only ever at home in the imperialism of her laws that are not her laws, but what she hears every Sunday, learns from the pastor, picks up from her CB radio as she calls prayerfully into the night, "This is Kindly Light calling Manchester... come in Manchester, this is Kindly Light" and waits forever for the response.

Permissions have to be registered in plugin.yml so that permission managers can modify them.
Permissions declared in plugin.yml of the current plugin, the PocketMine source code (in DefaultPermissions.php) and in dependency plugins (found in plugin.yml files in project libraries) are automatically included.
If you register the permission nodes dynamically, you may explicitly add them below. You may use wildcard patterns (* for 0 to infinite arbitrary characters, ? for one arbitrary character).

I am a master student in CARAS Lab at Tokyo Tech, supervised by Prof. Hiroshi Sasaki.
My research interests mainly lie on computer architecture, especially hardware-based CPU performance analysis. My personal interests including cloud computing (virtualization and networking) and operating systems.
I got a bachelor’s degree in network engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2017. Then I joined NetEase as a DevOps engineer. In there, I was in charge of the load balance cluster of NetEase Games private cloud, dealing with Nginx and Linux networking.


pyfor.rasterizer module¶
-
class
pyfor.rasterizer.
Grid
(cloud, cell_size)¶ Bases:
object
The Grid object is a representation of a point cloud that has been sorted into X and Y dimensional bins. From the Grid object we can derive other useful products, most importantly,
Raster
objects.-
__init__
(cloud, cell_size)¶ Upon initialization, the parent cloud object’s
data.points
attribute is sorted into bins in place. The columns ‘bins_x’ and ‘bins_y’ are appended. Other useful information, such as the resolution, number of rows and columns are also stored.- Parameters
cloud – The “parent” cloud object.
cell_size – The size of the cell for sorting in the units of the input cloud object.
-
property
empty_cells
¶ Retrieves the cells with no returns in self.data
return: An N x 2 numpy array where each row cooresponds to the [y x] coordinate of the empty cell.
-
interpolate
(func, dim, interp_method='nearest')¶ Interpolates missing cells in the grid. This function uses scipy.griddata as a backend. Please see documentation for that function for more details.
- Parameters
func – The function (or function string) to calculate an array on the gridded data.
dim – The dimension (i.e. column name of self.cells) to cast func onto.
interp_method – The interpolation method call for scipy.griddata, one of any: “nearest”, “cubic”, “linear”
- Returns
An interpolated array.
-
metrics
(func_dict, as_raster=False)¶ Calculates summary statistics for each grid cell in the Grid.
- Parameters
func_dict – A dictionary containing keys corresponding to the columns of self.data and values that correspond to the functions to be called on those columns.
- Returns
A pandas dataframe with the aggregated metrics.
-
raster
(func, dim, **kwargs)¶ Generates an m x n matrix with values as calculated for each cell in func. This is a raw array without missing cells interpolated. See self.interpolate for interpolation methods.
- Parameters
func – A function string, i.e. “max” or a function itself, i.e.
np.max()
. This function must be able to take a 1D array of the given dimension as an input and produce a single value as an output. This single value will become the value of each cell in the array.dim – A dimension to calculate on.
- Returns
A 2D numpy array where the value of each cell is the result of the passed function.

class
pyfor.rasterizer.
ImportedGrid
(path, cloud)¶ Bases:
pyfor.rasterizer.Grid
ImportedGrid is used to normalize a parent cloud object with an arbitrary raster file.
-
__init__
(path, cloud)¶ Upon initialization, the parent cloud object’s
data.points
attribute is sorted into bins in place. The columns ‘bins_x’ and ‘bins_y’ are appended. Other useful information, such as the resolution, number of rows and columns are also stored.- Parameters
cloud – The “parent” cloud object.
cell_size – The size of the cell for sorting in the units of the input cloud object.

class
pyfor.rasterizer.
Raster
(array, grid)¶ Bases:
object
-
__init__
(array, grid)¶ Initialize self. See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.
-
force_extent
(bbox)¶ Sets self._affine and self.array to a forced bounding box. Useful for trimming edges off of rasters when processing buffered tiles. This operation is done in place.
- Parameters
bbox – Coordinates of output raster as a tuple (min_x, max_x, min_y, max_y)
-
classmethod
from_rasterio
()¶
-
pit_filter
(kernel_size)¶ Filters pits in the raster. Intended for use with canopy height models (i.e. grid(0.5).interpolate(“max”, “z”). This function modifies the raster array in place.
- Parameters
kernel_size – The size of the kernel window to pass over the array. For example 3 -> 3x3 kernel window.
-
plot
(cmap='viridis', block=False, return_plot=False)¶ Default plotting method for the Raster object.
-
write
(path)¶ Writes the raster to a geotiff. Requires the Cloud.crs attribute to be filled by a projection string (ideally wkt or proj4).
- Parameters
path – The path to write to.
