Very poorly attended talk, this. Maybe everyone is nursing a sore head after last night but there are only about 20 folks here.
Mobile phones as devices for consuming music
Neil Marshall, Sales Director DX3
The over-the-air experience is stopping the spread of mobiles as a channel for downloading music.
DX3 do full-track downloads for folks like Woolworths.
35% of people asked say they want a mobile phone to play, store and retrieve music (tho asking people want they want when it comes to these new services may not be the best way of finding out)
Jeremy Copp, Chief Sales Officer Beatnik
Beatnik provide audio software for handsets. So what does software like this enable, beyond full track downloads?
Mobile music is following the PC/Internet model: mobile music is synonymous with music downloads. What about other services, considering the capabilities and context of use which are different for mobile?
Mobiles are inherently audio devices; personalised to a great degree; connected constantly; and communication about music is a social norm (is it? always? sounds wishy washy to me).
Ringtone market is a great indicator of the potential of audio services - is it? It's well understood, available to all.
There's apparently an inverse relationship between spend on handset and spend on ringtones - folks with cheaper phones buy more.
We need over the air downloads to reach the mass market - can't assume the PC and fixed internet is available to all. +1
User experience must be good: must be simple to find, preview and purchase content. They shouldn't require any technical knowledge of phone type, formats, etc.
Common audio formats are good (slight yawn)
Now he's talking about Mobile XMF, which I presume is a new format that Beatnik are pushing. Doesn't seem to be an open specification - looks like I have to pay for it.
Audio advertising - apparently this is good because customers are used to it from commercial radio.


Most times we make different list of items. Bucket lists, shopping lists, ambition lists,e.t.c. HTML creates a way for you to list your items in your code if needed.
There are two(2) ways to list items in HTML.
An ordered list is one in which the items are arranged with numbers in ascending order i.e 1,2,3,4,e.t.c.
To make an ordered list you use the ol tag which also has a closing tag.
Output:1.Banana.
2.Orange.
3.Apple.
4.Grape.

new Physics(settings)
View file: https://github.com/GorillaBus/ddw/blob/master/src/class/Physics.js.
A singleton class that performs all physics computations between physical entities (like Body objects) in DDW.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
settings |
Object | A Json object with construction parameters.
Properties

- Source:
Methods
elasticCollision(source, target, intersection) → {Vector}
Computes and applies the forces resulting from the collision of two bodies (Body class objects), based in their velocities (speeds and directions) at the moment of impact (which is always approximative, as bodies most of the times bodies will be overlaping at the time being checked). Once a collision between a pair of Body objects has been resolved it will never be resolved again during the current iteration: only entitiy pair where at least one is heading towards the other are resolved, a situation that is not possible after a the collision forces are applied to the pair of bodies.
As an optimization we are save a Math.sqrt() when calculating the distance between the two bodies, as we don't require its meassure.

Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
source |
Body | Usually the fist level Body object whithin DDW's main iteration. |
target |
Body | The Body to which the source is being checked. |
intersection |
Object | An Json object containing the X and Y components of the vector from the center of the source to the center of the target body, and the square of the distance between them (as we don't require the meassure, we can save a Math.sqrt() when computing the distance). |

Returns:
A vector representing the gravity full force to the target body.
- Type
- Vector
gravity(target, Gopt) → {Vector}
Computes and applies the attraction force from a given source-target Body pair, with the formula "F = G * M * (m / r2)". The magnitude will depend on both object's mass, distance and current speeds.
Note that this method will not apply any force if both bodies are intersecting.

Let
Let expressions allow to introduce local variables. Such expressions have the following syntax:
\let | p_1 => e_1
...
| p_n => e_n
\in e_{n+1}
where p_1, … p_n are patterns and e_1, … e_{n+1} are expressions.
Every pattern is either a variable or an expression of the form (p_1’, … p_k’), where p_1’, … p_k’ are patterns. This implies that if p_i is a tuple of k subpatterns, then the type of e_i must be either a k-fold Sigma type or a record with k fields. Note that because of the eta-equivalence for Sigma types and records the structure of e_i does not matter: for example, expression \let (x,y) => z \in e evaluates to e[z.1/x,z.2/y] if type of z is Sigma type (and with fields instead of projections z.1 and z.2 in case of a record). In general, if pattern p_i contains variables x_i^1, … x_i^{n_i} expression \let | p_1 => e_1 … | p_n => e_n \in e evaluates to e[… proj_i^j(e_i)/x_i^j …], where proj_i^j is the sequence of projections and field access expressions, corresponding to j-th variable of p_i.
The expression \let | x_1 => e_1 … | x_n => e_n \in e has type \let | x_1 => e_1 … | x_n => e_n \in E, where E is the type of e.
The type of e_i can be explicitly specified as follows: | p_i : E_i => e_i.
It is also allowed to write lambda parameters after a pattern if it is a variable. That is, instead of | x_i => e_i, you can write | x_i p^i_1 … p^i_{n_i} => e_i, where p^i_1, … p^i_{n_i} are either variables or named parameters to which e_i can refer. Such a clause is equivalent to | x_i => \lam p^i_1 … p^i_{n_i} => e_i.
Pattern matching
It is also possible to match constructors of data types as follows:
\let (con x_1 ... x_k) => e1
\in e2
where x_1, … x_k are patterns and con is a constructor.
This expression is equivalent to the following one:
\case e1 \with {
| con x_1 ... x_k => e2
}
Strict let expressions
Let expressions can be strict. This means that expressions e_1, … e_n will be evaluated immediately when the let expression is evaluated. To define a strict let expression, use the keyword \let! instead of \let.
\have
The \have keyword can be used instead of the \let keyword. The resulting expression will not change, but defined variables will not unfold inside the expression. For example, the following code will not work because x is not equivalent to 0.
\have x => 0
\in (idp : x = 0)
This can be useful when the actual value of the variable is not important. For example, this is usually the case when it is a proof of some fact.


Hobbies, side projects
Travelling and hiking
I spent my senior year in an exchange program in Austria. While I was there, I had the opportunity to visit several European countries. With a student train pass it costs less than €20 to get to almost any other European country, so it's hard not to spend each weekend in another country.
Here are some pictures that I took while I was in Ireland.

Game Development
Currently I'm working on a 2D RPG that uses the RPG Maker MV engine. I'm planning on making it look and feel somewhat like Final Fantasy VI with a quest system similar to the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. There might also be some Zelda: Breath of the Wild aspects to the gameplay as well.
The most important thing that I've learned while developing a game is that it takes a lot of people with a diverse set of talents to make any game. Not only is there programming, but visual artists, music. You might not think of it while you're playing a game, but someone has to perfectly polish those half-second sounds that play while you're navigating the menu.
Although it's been a passion project, it's also been a huge learning lesson in what can be accomplished in a given time period and constantly doing triage on every single aspect of the game. I could spend a whole day writing descriptions in plain text for items, or I could spend the same amount of time finding royalty-free music. As the sole developer I have to constantly juggle all of these duties.


Math.sin( 0.5 ) >= Math.tan( 0.2 ) || 43.259 / 12.073 > 3.5 || ( 100 > 45 )
There are no side-effects here, so it is safe to look at the last part:
( 100 > 45 )
and realize that the entire expression will be true
.
Java (working from left to right) might have found a different true
,
but in the absence of side-effects that doesn't matter.
The entire expression is true
.
Math functions, such as Math.sin()
and Math.cos()
,
do not have side effects.
They are safe to use in boolean expressions.

The logic of this situation is slightly complicated. Here are several situations:
Notice that it is not enough to merely have a high credit line. To buy the car on credit you must also be free of debt.

The set [1,2,3,...,*n*]
contains a total of n! unique permutations.
By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order, we get the following sequence for n = 3:
"123"
"132"
"213"
"231"
"312"
"321"
Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.
Note:
Example 1:
Input: n = 3, k = 3
Output: "213"
Example 2:
Input: n = 4, k = 9
Output: "2314"
The order of the sequence is fixed hence can be calculated. We can view the process as picking digits from a sorted set [1...n]
.
Each digit appears (n-1)!
times in result[0]
. And for a fixed result[0]
each digit appears (n-2)!
times in result[1]
. So on.
We also need k--
to convert k
into index so that k <= (n-1)!
maps 0
(and get 1
from the set).
/**
* @param {number} n
* @param {number} k
* @return {string}
*/
var getPermutation = function(n, k) {
const digits = []
let factorial = 1
for (let i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
digits.push(i)
factorial *= i
}
k--
let result = ''
while (n > 0) {
factorial /= n
result += digits.splice(k / factorial | 0, 1)[0]
k %= factorial
n--
}
return result
};

Almost a third of tropical Africa's flora faces extinction
| Source: | Institut de recherche pour le développement |
| Summary: | 31.7% of tropical Africa's vascular plant species could be threatened with extinction, reveals an international study. Using a new approach based on the key elements of the assessment process used by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), for the first time researchers have been able to assess the potential conservation status of tropical flora on the scale of a continent. |
Given the anthropological and climate threats facing nature, the conservation of tropical biodiversity is a major challenge. To encourage the implementation of better biodiversity management practices, countries and international agreements on biodiversity refer to the assessments of species "at risk of extinction" performed by the IUCN as part of a standardised procedure. This approach remains the most comprehensive and objective means of identifying species in need of protection.
However, while the conservation status of the majority of vertebrate species has been assessed, the same cannot be said for plants, although they are critical to earth ecosystems. This is especially true in tropical regions where the flora is very diverse but remains poorly documented.
6,990 Potentially Threatened Species
In this study, the researchers developed a new fast and automatic approach based on key elements of the conservation assessment process used by the IUCN. Their objective was to provide relevant information on the conservation status of a large number of plant species at broad scales, in the form of Preliminary Automated Conservation Assessments (PACA).
The researchers therefore applied this methodology to the RAINBIO database, which contains over 600,000 georeferenced occurrences of plants in tropical Africa across more than 20,000 vascular plant species.
After classifying these species into six categories — which include species that are "probably or potentially threatened," those that are "potentially rare" and those that are "potentially not threatened" — they reveal that almost a third (31.7%) of the 22,036 vascular plant species studied are potentially threatened with extinction, and an additional 33.2% are potentially rare (they could be threatened in the near future).
Facilitating Large-Scale Biodiversity Assessments
After determining the most endangered species, the researchers identified four regions in Africa that are particularly exposed: Ethiopia, central Tanzania, the south of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the West African tropical rainforests.
They highlight the advantages of this approach, based on the preliminary automated conservation assessments, in terms of cost reduction, time saving and the potential to carry out large-scale assessments. "This study is the first large-scale assessment of the potential conservation status of the tropical African flora, explicitly using the IUCN's methodology," explains botanist Thomas Couvreur from the IRD who coordinated the study. "These assessments could provide crucial information for improving biodiversity management and promoting sustainable economic development in Africa. They are, however, not intended to replace the comprehensive assessments carried out by the IUCN which lead to official statuses. The two approaches are complementary, and a significant international effort is still needed to assess all plant species in Africa," he urges.
"These results were possible because the partners involved agreed to share their data," says Bonaventure Sonké, Professor at the Laboratory of Systematic Botany and Ecology of the Ecole Normale Supérieure (University Yaounde 1, Cameroon). "This is a strong signal to encourage researchers to share their data, in order to obtain results on a larger scale."

The Contrafabulists – Kin Lane and Audrey Watters – monitor predictions that technologists and marketers make about the future of technology. No surprise, most of the predictions are made about AI, a development whose future folks have been predicting incorrectly since the 1950s.
Here are the predictions made this week:
The future of Mars:
Elon Musk was one of the stars of SXSW (that’s a low bar, but whatever). Apparently, he’s still committed to getting to Mars. According to reports from GeekWire, “First Mars spaceship is being built, with flight tests set for 2019.”
Also headed to Mars, according to Futurism: the new Cold War. “Putin Plans to Put Russians on Mars in 2019.”
The future of higher ed:
The new governor of New Jersey says that the state’s community colleges will be tuition-free by 2021.
From the BBC: “University place demand to grow by 300,000 by 2030.”
The future of the military:
“Army Wants Armed Ground Robot Prototype by 2019,” says Breaking Defense.
The future of sports:
The Motley Fool wonders, “Esports: A $5 Billion Industry by 2020?”
The future of inequality:
Via The Guardian: “Austerity will have cast an extra 1.5m children into poverty by 2021.”
The future of cars:
Via CNBC: “Ford says it will beat Toyota in hybrids by 2021 with Mustangs and trucks.”
RIP Stephen Hawking:
Via Futurism: “Stephen Hawking’s Most Dire Predictions for the Future.”

The APIlity PHP Library provides an object-oriented way to easily
access and manage the Google AdWords API from within PHP.
This comes along with an abstraction from the SOAP and WSDL details.
Some words about the AdWords API With the AdWords API you can not only manage and organize your accounts more efficiently, easily and smoothly, but also more creatively. Using the API, you can create your own report-pulling software, synchronize your bids with your warehousing or have your own mass uploading tool control your accounts. Web ServicesAll these tasks can be focused programmatically through web services where clients can be invoked, perform the required tasks on the remote server and return the results. Getting started with web service is a bit challenging and may be even discouraging as there are a lot of things to be taken into account that application developers have not usually come across. So we decided to offer client libraries like APIlity that provide an abstraction of these web service details and cover them in high-level language constructs. See APIlity in actionAgua is an Ajax GUI for AdWords and lets you experience AdWords in a revolutionary new way. Agua Biz is a business mash-up of Google Checkout and AdWords which allows you to see how these two services can be integrated in one single Ajax application.

Introduction to APIlity
The APIlity client library provides an object-oriented and easy-to-use way to access the Google AdWords API from within PHP. This helps programmers to concentrate on sophisticated programs and tools, not on complex API details.
The Role of IDs
When using the API, you need to think in IDs. Everything in the AdWords world has an ID which represents its only point of access. To get all Keywords for an AdGroup you first need to know the Campaign in which the AdGroup concerned resides. When you have found the correct Campaign, you need to remember its ID. Then you need to know what AdGroups this Campaign contains and among these find the ID of the one you are searching for. Now with these two IDs, the one for the AdGroup concerned and the one for the Campaign concerned, you are ready to get a list of all Keywords which in turn - yes, you guessed it - are equipped with IDs.
The APIlity Library tries to give the programmer a more intuitive, object-oriented user interface. Once an object has been created, all known actions can be easily performed directly on it, for instance the status of an AdGroup object can be changed via the following instruction:
$someAdGroupObject->setStatus("Paused");
What happens in the background is that the AdGroup client is invoked, establishes a connection to the Google AdWords server, updates the AdGroup's status and closes the connection. All this is hidden from the programmer. All he gets in touch with is high-level PHP objects.
Requirements
APIlity works both with PHP4 and PHP5 and usually only requires the cURL extension to be installed. This can be done very easily by uncommenting the line
; extension=php_curl.dll
in your php.ini file, i.e. remove the semicolon at the beginning of the line. If you are using PHP4, you additionally need to enable the DOM/XML by uncommenting the line
; extension=php_domxml.dll
In case where one of the extensions is not installed APIlity will write a warning to the screen. cURL is needed in PHP4 and PHP5 for downloading reports. DOM/XML is needed in PHP4 to modify the XML reports.
If you can life fine without these features you can just ignore the warnings.Getting Started
APIlity is designed along Larry Wall's credo "Easy things should be easy and hard things should be possible". So getting started is extremely simple and consists of two steps:
- edit authentication.ini and enter your data according to your API account settings
- include apility.php in your project by
require_once('apility.php');
Possible security issue: Please make sure that authentication.ini is not in a web-readable folder of your web server.
The most secure way to make sure no one can steal your account login data is to provide the login data directly. Therefore, after including APIlity into your project file, set the authentication context manually as shown below:
include('apility'); $authenticationContext = new APIlityAuthentication<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"myCustomP455wOrD", "myCustomT0k3N"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"myCustomApp1icationTok3n" );This means leaving authentication.ini untouched.
Authentication and Context Switching
After importing APIlity, the SOAP clients are automatically created and have their headers set according to the values given in authentication.ini. You can overwrite (or later change) this information by modifying the authentication context. This can be done by accessing the standard authentication context, which exists by default after the import of APIlity.
$authenticationContext->setClientEmail("yourClientsEmail@someISP.tld");
or by setting a completely new authentication context
$authenticationContext = new APIlityAuthentication($email, $password, $developerToken, $clientEmail, $applicationToken);
This new authentication context is then automatically passed to the SOAP clients which update their headers. This design is very flexible and gives you the opportunity to manage several clients in one loop in only one script - and this for even more than one MyClientCenter managers.
Please note that for APIlity to work properly authentication contexts must always be stored in
$authenticationContext
Error Management
Errors happen. Every programmer would subscribe to this, however, when a remote Web service gets involved, good error management becomes even more important.Error Management Strategy
APIlity allows both: straight-forward coding and defensive programming. The convention for the behavior of all functions is:- return false if something went wrong on the SOAP level
- return null if something went wrong on the non-SOAP level (i.e. request for non-existing objects)
- if everything went well
- return the object when there is something to return
- return true when there is nothing to return
Defensive and Straight-Forward Programming
There are two possibilities to code: defensive programming and straight-forward coding. Straight-forward coding is a bit faster, whereas defensive programming takes a bit longer, however is more reliable.// defensive programming if ( !$campaignObject = addCampaign(...) ) { // treat the error } print_r($campaignObject); // straight-forward coding $campaignObject = addCampaign(...); print_r($campaignObject);
Fault Stack
All errors are pushed on the fault stack. This behavior is very flexible as the fault stack stores faults in a generic fault object format and therefore allows just-in-time conversion of these fault objects to HTML, plaintext, XML error messages; or nothing at all, just to the needs of the developer. Usually all errors are printed as they occur. However it is possible to access the fault stack manually:$fault = array_pop($faultStack); $fault->printFault(); // prints the fault in the format given in settings.iniThe maximum size of the fault stack can be adjusted in Fault.php:
define("FAULT_STACK_SIZE", 10);
Error Message Styles
- First, you can just output errors in HTML which is easily readable but relatively useless for creating an error log file.
Display_Error_Style = HTML
Example HTML error message:
Ouch! I am not proud to announce the following AdWords API Error:
Message: An internal error has occurred. Please retry your request.
Trigger:
Code: 0
Fault Origin: /apility/project.php:getManagersClientAccounts()
SOAP Parameters:
<getClientAccounts></getClientAccounts> - Second, you can print fault objects as visible plaintext.
Thus creating an error log file is possible.
Display_Error_Style = Plaintext
Example plaintext error message:
Code: 0
Message: An internal error has occurred. Please retry your request.
Trigger:
Errors:
Fault Origin: /apility/project.php:getManagersClientAccounts()
SOAP Parameters:
- Third, fault objects can be printed in XML format. This is useful when the error message needs
to be parsed or processed otherwise.
Display_Error_Style = XML
<adWordsApiError>
0
<message>An internal error has occurred. Please retry your request.</message>
<trigger></trigger>
<faultOrigin>/apility/project.php:getManagersClientAccounts()</faultOrigin>
<soapParameters>
<getClientAccounts></getClientAccounts>
</soapParameters>
</adWordsApiError>
Settings
All settings concerning APIlity's behaviour can be adjusted in the file settings.ini.
Sandbox
The AdWords API Sandbox is an environment that replicates the API of the live site for developing, testing and debugging applications that use the AdWords API. There is no quota on the Sandbox system, users are free to make all the calls they want. In order to enable the sandbox, change the corresponding variable in the settings:
; Use_Sandbox = no Use_Sandbox = yes
When the sandbox is used, a currency code must be specified for the accounts. Once set, it cannot be changed. If you attempt to change it, the change is ignored.
Currency_For_Sandbox = USD ; Currency_For_Sandbox = EUR
The first time you log in to the sandbox a set of five clients is automatically created. The best way to make sure this went well is to use the following code snippet for the first sandbox call:
print_r(getManagersClientAccounts());This should print a list of five clients with the prefix client_#, where # is a number from 1 to 5. The complete client name is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Use this value for the authentication.ini:
Client_Email =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>API Versioning
APIlity is a library to access the AdWords API. When using APIlity, programmers usually do not need to interact with the native API directly, as the client library (i.e. APIlity) provides a complete interface to the native API functions. With version 3 of the AdWords API, Google introduced a feature which is called "versioning". Versioning gives developers the possibility to switch their code base piecewise, without the need to update all code at once when the native API version changes. When such version change occurs, the outdated version stays active for a specified period of time. Afterwards the old version gets disabled.
APIlity lets developers choose the version of the native API to use. By default the most current version is selected. To change this preselection modify the corresponding variable in the settings:
Use_API_Version = v10 ; Use_API_Version = v11
Please note that changing the API version to use comes along with the presence or absence of features which have been added or removed from the particular API versions. For details please see the AdWords API Release Notes.
Exchange Rate
By default, the API thinks in micro units, i.e. 1$ becomes 1,000,000 micros. This might be a little confusing and error-prone. APIlity gives you the opportunity to set your own exchange rate. So when you set your exchange rate to 1,000,000, 1$ becomes what you expect it to be: 1. However, if you prefer to think in micros, you just set your exchange rate to 1 and 1$ is 1,000,000.
Exchange_Rate = 1000000 ; Exchange_Rate = 1
Campaign Negative Criteria
By default, Campaign Negative Criteria are no attribute of Campaign Objects, but have to be queried separately from the Criteria service. APIlity offers the possibility to include Campaign Negative Criteria as an object attribute to simplify the Campaign handling, however this costs minimally more quota to query the particulat Website or Keyword Criteria each time.
Include_Campaign_Negative_Criteria = yes ; Include_Campaign_Negative_Criteria = no
Campaign isEnabledOptimizedAdServing Attribute
Ad Serving of Campaigns by default happens in a self-optimizing manner. This in general is considered to make sense. There is the possibility to switch this optimization off. However, most advertisers don't. Campaign objects have an isEnabledOptimizedAdServing attribute which can be set via an API call which consumes quota. As almost no one switches this optimization off, this attribute usually is redundant (as it is always true). You can select whether you want this attribute to be set or not if you are interested in its value. This defaults to no.
Is_Enabled_Optimized_Ad_Serving_Attribute = no ; Is_Enabled_Optimized_Ad_Serving_Attribute = yes
Silence Stealth Mode
Usually APIlity is quite verbose and prints warnings, error message and the like. In some cases, for example when the library should be run embedded in an application, this behavior is not wanted. The Silence Stealth Mode makes APIlity not print any warning or error message and also switches PHP's warnings off. This requires the programmer to carefully test the code in advance, before switching the Silence Stealth Mode on. In general, it is a good idea to combine the Silence Stealth Mode with XML error messages, as they can be parsed easily.; Silence_Stealth_Mode = yes Silence_Stealth_Mode = no
WSDL caching
To reduce network latency APIlity allows the caching of WSDL files locally. However, this is considered a "know-what-you-do" feature. If the caching is enabled APIlity will download the WSDL files once, and then work with the cached versions. There are no checks performed whether the cached version is still up to date. Given that the WSDL files rarely change, this feature might be useful for power users. If unexplainable errors occur, turning off the WSDL caching and deleting the the eventually updated WSDL files manually might be a solution.
If any part of the cache fails it does so silently and just reverts back to the remote WSDL file. By default WSDL caching is turned on. You can switch it off by setting:
WSDL_Cache_Enabled = no ; WSDL_Cache_Enabled = yes
If you have caching enabled, you can set the time in seconds the cache file is good for:
WSDL_Cache_Time = 86400
To set the directory to cache the files in modify the WSDL cache directory. Please note that you need to specify an absulote path according to your web server structure. By default APIlity stores the WSDL files in the wsdl_cache folder of the APIlity home folder.
WSDL_Cache_Directory = ./wsdl_cache
Quota Usage in APIlity
APIlity provides some information of the consumed quota units. This is a feature of the SOAP clients which can be accessed by calling the following methods.Overall consumed units
$soapClients->getOverallConsumedUnits()This returns the overall number of consumed quota units since a script was started. This covers all SOAP clients (like AdGroup client, Campaign client, ...) involved.
Overall performed operations
$soapClients->getOverallPerformedOperations()This returns the overall number of operations preformed since a script was started. In general this number will be less than the number of consumed quota units since some operations are more expensive than others.
Last response times
$soapClients->getLastResponseTimes()This returns the last n response times of the performed SOAP calls. This gives an idea of how long the single SOAP operations take. The number n can be set by modifying a constant in the file Clients.php:
define("N_LAST_RESPONSE_TIMES", 10); // change 10 to whatever n you want
Debugging
In general, APIlity is designed as an abstractation of the SOAP details of the API. By default, programmers never get in touch with SOAP. However, it is possible to do so. To enable debugging, set the following constant to yes in settings.ini:Enable_Debug_Mode = yes ; Enable_Debug_Mode = noTo see the debugging information for the SOAP headers and requests that an APIlity function creates, run:
// run the APIlity function apilityFunction(toBeDebugged); // then print_r the SOAP Requests and Responses this function has generated. print_r($soapClients->getLastSoapRequests()); print_r($soapClients->getLastSoapResponses());

Whenever I think about UX design the first thing that comes to my mind is “Don’t make me think!”, because not only it’s the name of my favorite book about human-computer interaction and web usability (by Steve Krug), but also it is the main goal of the design. In my mind, there is no better way to summarize all the strategies and steps needed for a good design in one sentence.
As a UX designer my challenge is to deliver the most elegant and easy grasp design, so the user can intuitively navigate and find anything that we are offering and they are there to see. To accomplish this goal I have to take different steps:
- Communicate effectively with client at all times.
- Writing the story (define the problem in hand), research, and then discuss possible solutions.
- Use wireframe and prototyping to bring those solutions to life.
- Using scenarios and personas to criticize the potential solutions and make the changes based on the feedback of the team.
- Get more feedback from real user through usability testing and take them to account.
Sometimes it might be a good idea to go through some of these steps more than once to get it right!
I keep in mind that, as a designer it can be harder to see the flaws of my own design, because I know too much about it and I am too familiar with it (that is why usability testing is a very important part of the cycle). Therefore a very important aspect of being a good designer is begin a good observer and be open to others ideas and criticism.


My friends call me Sam. I am an international student and have been living in United States for 5 years. I graduated last year from Purdue University majoring in Management and Marketing. I moved to California to do my full-time work in Marketing Industry. I worked for couples of months until I decided to join Coding Bootcamp to further my skills and career.
I have one older sister. she currently lives in Indonesia, a country where most people do not know and located in Southeast Asia. I have a lot of interests; playing soccer and hangout with friends are just one of them. My friends say that I can make a joke that can turn sad people to laugh or smile. I do not know if it is true, but you can tell me the answer after you know me pretty well.

Unique applications:
UMATAC's engineering disciplines of mechanical, process (largely chemical, petroleum and minerals), civil/structural, electrical and instrumentation have all been applied to numerous ATP development projects over the past 20+ years. The major ones are the following ATP Process Plants: A semi commercial scale shale oil plant in Gladstone, Australia
A commercial scale shale oil plant in Fushun, China
5 tph ATP60 pilot plant in Calgary, Alberta UMATAC designed and built this plant in 1991/1992. Contract fabrication shops and UMATAC direct hire staff were used to build the plant components to UMATACs design. UMATAC forces erected the plant and then commissioned and operated it. In 1994, UMATAC moved the ATP60 to Montreal for a 4-month demonstration trial for which UMATAC also managed and assisted the Plant operation.
A 10 tph ATP System plant was designed, built and supplied in 1989/1990 for use by SoilTech ATP Systems Inc. in the United States on EPA Superfund Projects for environmental remediation. Four projects in different locations were completed successfully, during which the ATP technology was extensively examined and monitored by regulatory agencies to ensure regulatory compliance as well as to assess the technology for treatment of hazardous wastes under the EPAs SITE program.
A Used Oil Recycling ATP Plant was supplied in 1996 to a clients project in Saskatchewan. The main processing unit is an adaptation of the rotary kiln thermal Processor with throughput capacity of 400 barrels per day of used lubrication oils.
A complete ATP batch testing unit was supplied in 1995 to a client in Japan for use in determining the treatability of materials there by the ATP System.
Success stories:
The Fushun Mining Group (FMG) is famous in China for their West Open Pit coal mine, one of the largest mines in the world - 6 km long x 2.2 km wide x 500 m deep. Coal production is 7 million tonnes/year. Oil shale lies above the coal deposit and is mined as overburden. FMG currently produces oil from a portion of the oil shale using an older vertical retort technology, but the fines portion of the crushed oil shale cannot be used in the vertical retorts and is discarded.In 2004, FMG shipped 100 tonnes of oil shale to UMATAC for testing in UMATACs pilot plant and laboratory facilities in Calgary. Following the test program, the parties held a series of technical discussions and review meetings which culminated in signing the contract for design and construction of an ATP System for FMG.
Design and construction of the first FMG ATP plant commenced in early 2006 and was completed in 2010. The facility has a rated oil shale processing capacity of 1,750,000 tonnes/year and produces 108,000 tonnes/year of product hydrocarbons.
Karak International Oil (KIO) is a company that is developing an oil shale project in Jordan. KIO is owned by a UK company called Jordan Energy and Mining Limited (JEML). UMATAC completed an ATP60 pilot testing program for JEML on the Al Lajjun oil shale reserve in Jordan. The project entails building two 500 t/h ATP Processor trains to use oil shale from the Al Lajjun reserve in Jordan. After the pilot plant testing preliminary engineering design was completed as well as an ATP System feasibility study. The feasibility study was a multi-party effort which was completed in 2009/2010.
An oil shale upgrader and power plant will be built as part of the project. Hydrotreating pilot testing was completed by two licensors and product quality options (SCO or finished transport fuels) were produced. The plans include building a gas turbine power plant powered by the ATP produced excess off gas which would be electrically self sufficient.
UMATAC is now preparing to move into the FEED and detailed engineering phase of this project.
The Stuart Energy Demonstration Plant was the first large scale ATP with a rated throughput capacity of 6000 t/d of feed shale, producing 4500 bbl/d of oil. The purpose of the Stuart Energy R&D project was to demonstrate and prove the ATP technology for oil shale processing, as basis for a larger plant to be built at commercial scale. During the course of the demonstration program, the Stuart plant processed 2.6 million tonnes of shale and produced 1.65 million barrels of saleable product oils. The Stuart ATP Processor achieved design oil yield and operated above nameplate throughput capacity. The hydrotreated naphtha product was of very high quality with less than 1 ppm sulphur and less than 4 ppm nitrogen.

Urban Grammar AI
research project
Within the project, we often need to map the results within different contexts ranging from static to interactive maps. We felt that it could be a smoother experience and built xyzservices.
xyzservices
A Python ecosystem offers numerous tools for the visualisation of data on a map. A lot of them depend on XYZ tiles, providing a base map layer, either from OpenStreetMap, satellite or other sources. The issue is that each package that offers XYZ support manages its own list of supported providers.
We have built xyzservices package to support any Python library making use of XYZ tiles. I’ll try to explain the rationale why we did that, without going into the details of the package. If you want those details, check its documentation.
Let me quickly look at a few popular packages and their approach to tile management - contextily, folium, ipyleaflet and holoviews.
contextily
folium
ipyleaflet
holoviews
contextily brings contextual base maps to static geopandas plots. It comes with a dedicated contextily.providers module, which contains a hard-coded list of providers scraped from the list used by leaflet (as of version 1.1.0).
geopandas
contextily.providers
folium is a lightweight interface to a JavaScript leaflet library. It providers built-in support for 6 types of tiles and allows passing any XYZ URL and its attribution to a map. It means that it mostly relies on external sources of tile providers.
ipyleaflet brings leaflet support to Jupyter notebooks and comes with a bit more options than folium. It has a very similar approach as contextily does - it has a hard-coded list of about 37 providers in its basemaps module.
basemaps
holoviews provides a Python interface to the Bokeh library and its list of supported base maps is also hard-coded.
A similar situation is in other packages like geemap or leafmap.
geemap
leafmap
Each package has to maintain the list of base maps, ensure that they all work, respond to users requiring more, update links… That is a lot of duplicated maintenance burden. We think it is avoidable.
All XYZ tile providers have a single lightweight home and a clean API supporting the rest of the ecosystem. All the other packages use the same resource, one which is tested and expanded by a single group of maintainers.
We have designed xyzservices to be exactly that. It is a Python package that has no dependencies and only a single purpose - to collect and process metadata of tile providers.
We envisage a few potential use cases.
The first - packages like contextily and geopandas will directly support xyzservices.TileProvider object when specifying tiles. Nothing else is needed, contextily will fetch the data it needs (final tile URL, an attribution, zoom and extent limits) from the object. In the code form:
xyzservices.TileProvider
import xyzservices.providers as xyz from contextily import add_basemap add_basemap(ax, source=xyz.CartoDB.Positron)
The second option is wrapping xyzservices.providers into a custom API providing, for example, an interactive selection of tiles.
xyzservices.providers
The third one is using different parts of a TileProvider individually when passing the information. This option can be currently used, for example, with folium:
TileProvider
import folium import xyzservices.providers as xyz tiles = xyz.CartoDB.Positron folium.Map( location=[53.4108, -2.9358], tiles=tiles.build_url(), attr=tiles.attribution, )
The last one is the most versatile. The xyzservices comes with a JSON file used as a storage of all the metadata. The JSON is automatically installed to share/xyzservices/providers.json where it is available for any other package without depending on xyzservices directly.
share/xyzservices/providers.json
We hope to cooperate with maintainers of other existing packages and move most of the functionality around XYZ tiles that can be reused to xyzservices. We think that it will:
Remove the burden from individual developers. Any package will just implement an interface to Python or JSON API of xyzservices.
Expand the list easy-to-use tiles for users. xyzservices currently has over 200 providers, all of which should be available for users across the ecosystem, without the need to individually hard-code them in every package.
While this discussion started in May 2020 (thanks @darribas!), the initial version of the package is out now and installable from PyPI and conda-forge. We hope to have as many developers as possible on board to allow for the consolidation of the ecosystem in the future.

Say “Fheese!” (Fake ‘Ricotta Cheese’ Filling)
This place has a good vibe
My childhood was covered in cheese. I remember growing up, and making quick meals by taking vegetables, and melt cheese on top of it ( I thought I was being healthy!). Also, frozen pizzas were a must, and always stocked in my fridge. Growing up, cheese was my best friend. When transitioning into becoming a vegan, giving up cheese was the hardest part. But, then, because of my genius mother, I didn’t have to! This filling recipe which my mother crafted HAS to be shared. It tastes identical to that of ricotta cheese a person uses in ravioli, manicotti, etc. Even when my cousins come over to eat, and we make this recipe, they do not know (and they still don’t unitl now) that it isn’t real cheese! This past week, I used it to fill Manicotti.
Here is what you will need:
Ingredients:
- Organic Extra Firm Tofu 15 ounces
- A bag of ‘Mozerella’ Daiya Cheese (Can be bought at Stop n Shop but if you are cooking for a large group or party, I would buy in bulk. Here is where you can get a bulk of Daiya Cheese:Daiya Mozzarella Style Shreds, 8 Ounce — 12 per case.Most of the times when I go to the grocery store, almost all the Daiya is gone, so Amazon is a safe bet!
- Organic Baby Spinach 20 leaves
- Olive Oil 1/4 tsp
- Dry oregano
- Sea Salt 1 tsp
- Basil 2 leaves
- Black Pepper
Directions:
For this recipe, an essential tool to have is a food processor–I used a Vitamix.
- Prepare the Tofu:Drain the water out of the tofu, and place the tofu into your food processor. (The tofu is going to act as the ‘cheese’ in the way that it will offer the same kind of consistency or feeling when you eat it. ) Do not turn on the food processor yet.
- Add Taste to Tofu: The taste of the tofu comes after the other ingredients are added to the food processor. Add 20 leaves of baby spinach, 2 leaves of basil, a quarter of a tsp of olive oil, a tsp of sea salt, and a pinch of both black pepper and dry oregano.
- Mix! : When you are done adding all the ingredients into your food processor. Pulse _(turn the food processor off and on in cycles) _your mixture for a few minutes. Stop when the consistency you desire is achieved!
