Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Open online educational resources (OERs)
OERs are educational resources that are public and freely available to students (or anyone) through the web. There are already numerous OER databases linking to numerous free textbooks across many domains of study (e.g., see the BC library OER site). These texts are often disseminated under a creative commons license, which allows anyone to mix, match, edit, update, and transform those texts, and then share them again with the public at large under the same license. Finding existing OERs can be a good starting point for developing your own content.
1.2 What is this tutorial?
This tutorial shows how a few open-source tools can be brought together for quicky developing and sharing content in the form of online books and webpages. The tools require some downloading of free programs (all cross-platform), but once in place, allow you to write and format text with minimal syntax, and then easily compile your source documents into multiple formats, including web-books, .pdf’s, and e-pubs.
This tutorial also covers tools to enhance student interaction with the content, including the ability for students to select text in a web-book and then post comments about the text. Depending on the pedagogical goals of the instructor, posts could be to critically evaluate portions of the textbook, supplement sections with additional examples, and tag sections in need of revision or that were particularly helpful. All of these comments can be made publically accessible so that everyone viewing the textbook can see all of the comments as they are posted (inline, corresponding to the sections that were annotated). Furthermore, the database of annotations can easily be extracted and used for revising the text, or other purposes.
1.3 Can I see an example of what you are talking about?
Yes, there are many working examples already. As the preface mentions, this tutorial is an example. So the bells and whistles you see here constitute one example of an end product. Some additional examples include a Research Methods for Psychologist’s textbook, and a Programming for Psychology textbook that I made using the tools in this tutorial.
If you want to see examples of the inline commenting features, simply follow the directions in the preface of the above two books. Inline commenting is made possible by the hypothes.is browser add-on tool. It is simple to install, requiring that you sign up with hypothesis, and then follow their directions to install an add-on for chrome, or a bookmarklet for other browsers. When you turn on hypothesis viewing these web-books, you will be able to see any public comments made by other people.
1.4 The toolbox (what do I need to download)
Each of the chapters in this tutorial will discuss each of these tools in more depth, along with links to many helpful tool-specific resources already available online.
1.4.1 R
R is a free and open-source programming language primarily developed for statistical analysis. R has a large community of active open-source developers who are makin R better and more powerful everyday. R comes with existing packages for statistical analysis, but can be extended to accomplish many more tasks by downloading and installing additional packages. Download and install before you download and install R-studio.
1.4.2 R-studio
R-Studio is a free and open-source GUI for R. For those of you familiar with the Matlab environment, R-studio looks similar.
1.4.3 Markdown and R Markdown
Markdown is a simple mark-up language for creating .html files viewable in web-browsers. HTML (hyper-text markup language) is a powerful, but visually cluttered syntax for creating content to be displayed in web-pages. Markdown allows you to easily write text while avoiding writing html syntax. For example, This document is written in markdown.
RMarkdown is R’s version of markdown. It’s basically the same as markdown, but allows you to inject and run R code inside a markdown document. This is especially useful when you are writing documents that contain output from data-analysis you have conducted in R. This document is an .Rmd file (Rmarkdown). The paragraphs are plain text, and the header’s (level I, II, III) are defined by #’s.
1.4.4 Bookdown
Bookdown is an R package for compiling Rmarkdown documents into various formats, including web-books, .pdf’s, and epubs. This incredible package, along with the knitr package, does much of the heavy lifting, allowing writer’s to focus on content generation, rather than the technical details of deploying that content to the various formats. Once the .Rmd files are written, deployment can is a single-click. Bookdown also provides different formats for styling the output, and styling is customizable.
1.4.5 Github
Github is a version control software development tool/website. Github provides a free option for hosting static web-pages (e.g., you could deploy your web-book to github), and allows you to store the source code for generating your book in an online repository. This allows others to easily copy your source code and make suggested edits that you can incorporate back into your content. This web-book is hosted using github pages, and the source code for this book is hosted in a github repository. Downloading the github repository will give you all the files you need to compile this book, and by editing the text in this book, you can change it into your own.
1.4.6 Hypothes.is
Hypothes.is is a web-browser add-on for annotating the web via inline commenting. This allows anyone to select a snippet of text in a web-browser and then post a comment about the selected text. Annotations can be made publicly or privately. All public annotations can be viewed by anyone else running hypothesis on the same website. Using Hypothesis with your web-book allows you to engage students in interacting with the textbook by allowing them to contribute to content generation (by posting new content), or content revision (by tagging sections in need of revision).
1.4.7 hypothesisr
hypothesisr is an r package for scraping annotation data collected through the hypothesis app. This could be used for identifying tagged sections in need of revision, or for other analytic purposes.
1.4.8 Zotero
Zotero is a free and open source citation management tool. It is cloud-based with both browser and app versions. It is easy to create .pdf libraries along with citation information, and then compile bibliographies with citation keys for quickly citing articles. The R bookdown package is compatible with latex-style bibliography files that can be exported by Zotero.
1.5 Quickstart
If you want to skip to getting up and running, follow these steps. If they all work, then you should be able to copy the source code this book, compile it and display it as a webbook (or pdf or epub), and then start modifying the text content to create your own resources.
1.5.1 Download all the programs, and set-up needed accounts
- Download and install R
- Download and install R-Studio
- Open R-studio, choose the packages tab, search for the package “bookdown”, download and install
- Create an account with Github
- Download and install Github Desktop
1.5.2 Create a Github repository
- Create a new repository on the Github website, give it a name
- Clone the repository to your local computer using Github Desktop
- Open the local repository
1.5.3 Copy and compile this repository
- Download this repository as a .zip file to your computer
- Copy the contents of the folder to your new local folder for your github repository
- In Github Desktop you should now see that there are many new changes to your repository. Commit the changes (uploads them to the online repository)
- Open the OERbookdown.Rproj in Rstudio, this is an R project file that will automatically point R to the files in this folder.
- In Rstudio, on the top right panel, choose the Build tab, then click build book.
- If everything goes smoothly, you will have compiled this book into a web-book, a .pdf and an epub. The compiled books are in the “docs” folder
- After the compilation process, a viewable web-book should be displayed on your computer.
- Upload any changes in your repository to Github using the commit button in Github Desktop.
1.5.4 Serve your book on the web using github pages
In addition to providing free repositories, Github also allows files in the repositories to be served as web-pages. Set this up using the following steps:
- Log-in to your github account through a web browser
- Click on your repository
- You should see all of your files from your local computer in the online repository
- The html files to build the web-book are located in the docs folder. Github allows html files in a docs file to be rendered as a webpage
- Go to the settings page for your repository. 21.Scroll down to the Github Pages options
- Turn on the option to use github pages with the docs folder
- Github should now display a url where you can view the web-book.
1.5.5 Make your own book
Now that you have the workflow established, you can create your own book by editing the text content of the .Rmd files in this repository. Change the text, then build the book again, then upload it to Github, and you should have a new web-book.
1.6 Description of Files in this Repository
OERbookdown.Rproj An R-studio project file that automatically points R-studio to all of the files in this folder.
- _bookdown.yml set a few options, like folder where book is compiled, currently “docs”
_output.yml more configuration options
Each .Rmd file is an Rmarkdown file containing the text for each chapter. The index.Rmd file contains some initilazation settings, and the preface content. All other .Rmd files contain the text for each chapter. These need to be edited to create new chapters. Add as many new chapters as you want by creating a new .Rmd file with an incremented number for the new chapter.

Put Your HTML in a Box
Scott Allen | July 1, 2010
The first step in understanding how to position elements is to understand the fundamental model of CSS—the box model.
The Box Model
Every element you place on a page creates a box. You cannot always see the boundaries and the borders of the boxes you create, but the boxes are there. A div element creates a box, as do h1,img, span, and td elements. Each box has properties you can set with CSS. I’ve illustrated some of these properties in Figure 1.
Figure 1 Border, padding, and margin
The padding of a box is the distance between the content of the box and the box’s border, and the margin is the distance between a box and any adjacent element. In other words, padding adds space inside the border, while a margin adds space outside the border. In the following CSS, I set both the padding and the margin to a distance of 10 pixels. This is why you can see so much white space in Figure 1.
The border surrounding every element is not visible by default, but by using CSS I can change the color of an element’s border, as well as the thickness and line style the browser uses when drawing the border. What you see in Figure 1 is the result of a style rule telling the browser to draw a solid, thin, red line around the box that each div element creates.

THE NASTY GIRL A film review by Myra VanInwegen Copyright 1991 Myra VanInwegen
Extremely brief assessment:
This is one of the best movies I've seen - as good as (just to name a few of my semi-recent picks) CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS or Imamura's BLACK RAIN. It is the only movie I have ever seen that has a heroine whom I would very much like to be, or to try to imitate.
Basic plot (no spoilers, unless you think any plot description is a spoiler):
This movie tells the story of Sonya, a girl whose intelligence and willfulness make her hard to control. However, despite the title of the movie, she is a very nice girl, a good girl, who excels in her classes and is the pride of the town. That is, as long as the town's definition of "good" matches her own.
This movie is really two films in one. The first part is wonderfully light and funny, recounting the mishaps of a girl growing up in a Catholic family in a small town in Bavaria. The other part begins as she starts doing research for an essay on "My Hometown During the Third Reich." The film rapidly grows serious, and the humor of the first half is replaced by frustration, hatred, and even danger as the film progresses.
Technical notes (you might want to skip this if you want to be surprised by the structure of the film):
The film is told as sort of a flashback, with the present-day Sonya narrating. Color, or the lack of it, is used to show time periods here. Black-and-white is used for Sonya's childhood, color for the present, and, in one brief sequence, sepia for "way back when." If I remember right, the film turns from b&w (the past) to color (the present) about when the Third Reich essay is announced, that is, when the film changes mood from funny to serious. This marks the transition from childhood to adulthood for Sonya.
The sets used when Sonya is dealing with the "establishment" - the locals who continually try to thwart her - use a minimum of furniture (a desk, a chair) with a painting or slide behind to suggest the rest of room in which the action takes place. Perhaps this suggests the illusions on which these people have based their power.
All in all, this is an excellent film. See it.

This web page indicates how well functions evaluated with Math compare with the equivalent computation in mpmath. Select a function and part and the test results will appear below.
The test data has been evaluated in unit increments from -49.5 to 49.5 in both directions on the the complex plane. A green dot above indicates that the same calculation with this library matches the test data to ten significant digits. A yellow dot indicates a variance of one digit in the significand, i.e. the part of the value in scientific notation without the exponent. A red dot indicates a variance of two digits or more, where again this difference is in the significand.
Functions requiring more that one argument, such as Bessel or elliptic functions, indicate the additional parameters in the function name in square brackets. Most of these parameters precede the main argument in the function call. When they do not an empty list is included in the file name to allow detection of these cases.
These tests give an immediate visual sense of the accuracy of this library. They can also be used to identify argument domains that need attention.
Known issues with data from mpmath as of 2022.09.18:
The imaginary parts of error functions are incorrect in large regions of the complex plane. These show as significant black wedges for imaginaryerf
anderfc
, as well as realerfi
.
The imaginary part of the zeta function is inaccurate in the far right-hand plane. This shows as a strip of red on the right-hand edge above.
Hankel functions with large imaginary parts are inaccurate in either the upper or lower half plane with standard precision. This can be overcome with a massive increase in precision when generating test data.


The Extend component extends a bus to a larger size. A common use is to extend an immediate value from an instruction to 16 or 32 bits.
The output can be optionally logically shifted left by a fixed number of bits.
The extension can be logical or arithmetic. Logical extensions extend with zeros. An arithmetic extend will mirror the high order bit.


Servant Design Pattern
Presented by Tommy Fang
3/28/2016
What is Servant?
-
Servant is a behavioural design pattern that provides an interface to a group of classes.
-
Servant provides method definitions for Servant objects.
-
Servant methods are common for all Servant objects.
-
Servant pattern helps keep clean code and allows for flexibility.
-
Why wouldn't we just create functions in the parent class and override inherited methods?
-
Servant uses an interface and allows interactions with different types of classes.
-
Methods in classes which implement the Servant interface must be defined.
-
Drawbacks
-
Servant is an anti-pattern.
- "A pattern that tells how to go from a problem to a bad solution."
- This helps us understand exactly why a solution is bad.
- Typically has more bad consequences than good ones.
- Servant is highly procedural. Class designs must be final and can't be dynamic.
Behaviorial Design Patterns
-
Behaviorial Design Patterns are concerned with how objects interact and the functionalities they are responsible for.
-
The behavior emphasizes the communication between objects so it can be efficient and easy.
-
The objects should still be loosely coupled to avoid dependencies and hard coding.
-
Behaviorial Design Patterns focus on the way objects interconnect and not the instantiation process.
Behaviorial Design Patterns: Servant and Command
Command is a behavioral design pattern that enables information for a request to be encapsulated within an object.
Command uses CommandBase as an interface for command objects. You can extend the base class to create new command objects.
Servant methods are common for all objects that implement the interface.
Servant design pattern commands are not encapsulated within an object.
Basic Servant Interface
ServantInterface.java
import java.awt.*;
public interface ServantInterface {
public void setPosition(Position p);
public void setColor(Color c);
public Position getPosition();
public Color getColor();
public void interpolatePosition
(Position p, Position p_dest, String style);
public void interpolateColor
(Color c, Color c_dest, String style);
}
Servant Object Methods
Main.java
import java.awt.*;
public class Main {
public static void moveTo(servantInterface servicedObject, Position dest) {
servicedObject.setPosition(dest);}
public void moveBy(servantInterface servicedObject, int dx, int dy) {
// this is the place to offer the functionality
dx += servicedObject.getPosition().xPosition;
dy += servicedObject.getPosition().yPosition;
servicedObject.setPosition(new Position(dx, dy));}
public static void changeColor(ServantInterface servicedObject, Color col) {
servicedObject.setColor(col);}
}
Servant Object Methods (continued)
Main.java
import java.awt.*;
public class Main {
// Pseudocode, lerps values of serviced object.
public void interpolateColor(servantInterface servicedObject, Color dest, String style) {
servicedObject.lerpColor(dest,style); }
public void interpolatePosition(servantInterface servicedObject, Position dest, String style) {
servicedObject.lerpPosition(dest,style); }
}
Rectangle Servant Object Class
Rectangle.java
import java.awt.*;
//Extend the Servant Interface Class
public class Rectangle implements ServantInterface {
private Position p;
private Color c;
// Methods, which set position/color of geometric object
public void setPosition(Position p) { this.p = p; }
public void setColor(Color c) { this.c = c; }
// Methods, which return position/color of geometric object
public Position getPosition() { return this.p; }
public Color getColor() { return this.c;} }
// Methods, which linearly interpolate position/color of geometric object
public void lerpColor(Color dest, String style)
{ lerp (this.c, dest, style); }
public void lerpPosition(Position dest, String style)
{ lerp (this.p, dest, style);} }
}

Friday The 13Th A review by Joe Chamberlain Starring Betsy Palmer; Adrienne King; Jeannine Taylor; Robbi Morgan & Kevin Bacon
This is the first film in what would become the most successful series of horror films of all time. A fair warning to those of you who might be inclined to watch this movie for the first appearance of everyone's favorite goalie-mask-wearing homicidal maniac. Jason, the guy who single handedly controlled the overpopulation problem around the Crystal Lake area, doesn't start his quest to find the most interesting household item with which to kill someone until the sequel. While he does have a small role in this film, we the audience have to depend on another blood thirsty maniac to rack up the body count. The plot, like every other Friday The 13th movie goes something like this -- crazed killer murders as many unsuspecting teenagers as he/she/it possibly can in the space of a 90 minute movie. The reasons that the afore mentioned unsuspecting teenagers come into contact with the bloodthirsty killer are usually of little importance to the story.   They are days away from the arrival of the kids and they are spending their time fixing the place up and making sure it is ready for the kids. Sadly, they start being butchered one by one by the bloodthirsty killer.
At this point I would usually say something about the quality of acting, directing or maybe something about the high quality of the production. Since I'm not going to do that, feel free to assume that if I did, it wouldn't be positive. I will say that this movie looks as if it was made for about a hundred bucks, and that includes the actors' salaries. If you are used to recent horror films like Scream, you are in for a bit of a surprise. The only saving grace for Friday The 13th is that it was really the first of its kind, with the killer taking real pride in their work. Using as many methods of murder as they could. None of this single murder weapon stuff life that unimaginative Leatherface in Chainsaw Massacre, or the creatively stifled imagination of Halloween's Michael Myers who just used brute force or a really big kitchen knife. Nope, in the Friday The 13th movies, you can always count on the killer taking great pride in his work.
One fun fact about this movie is that the cast includes a very young Kevin Bacon, although after this movie it is a wonder he ever worked again. The main reason to see Friday The 13th is if you want to watch all of the series from the beginning. If not, stick with the later films with Jason, everyone's favorite hockey fan. Friday The 13th is the sort of movie that is fun to sit down and get a couple of scares from, just don't sit down expecting a whole lot.

datascience.tables.Table.barh¶
-
Table.
barh
(column_for_categories, overlay=False, **vargs)[source]¶ Plots horizontal bar charts for the table.
Each chart is categorized using the values in column_for_categories and one chart is produced for every other column in the table. A total of n - 1 charts are created where n is the number of columns in the table.
Note that the order of the categories in the table is not guaranteed to be preserved in the bar graph. Ex. barh on a table with “a”, “b”, “c” as the rows in the column_for_categories may not output a bar graph with the labels in that order.
Requires every column except for column_for_categories to be numerical. If the columns contain other types, a ValueError is raised.
- Args:
- column_for_categories (str): The name to use for the bar chart
- categories
- Kwargs:
- overlay (bool): If True, creates one chart with n - 1 bars for each
- category, one for each column other than column_for_categories (instead of the default behavior of creating n - 1 charts). Also adds a legend that matches each bar color to its column.
- vargs: Additional arguments that get passed into plt.barh.
- See http://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.barh for additional arguments that can be passed into vargs. These include: linewidth, xerr, yerr, and log, to name a few.
- Returns:
- None
- Raises:
- ValueError: The Table contains non-numerical values in columns other than column_for_categories
>>> furniture_table Type of furniture | Count chairs | 6 tables | 1 desks | 2
>>> furniture_table.barh('Type of furniture') <bar graph with chairs, tables, desks as the categories and bars of length 6, 1, 2, respectively>
>>> furniture_table.barh('Count') ValueError: The column 'Type of furniture' contains non-numerical values. A bar graph cannot be drawn for this table.
>>> foo_table Type of furniture | Count | Other col chairs | 6 | 10 tables | 1 | 20 desks | 2 | 30
>>> foo_table.barh('Type of furniture') <bar graph with Type of furniture as categories and Count values> <bar graph with Type of furniture as categories and Other col values>
>>> foo_table.barh('Type of furniture', overlay=True) <bar graph with Type of furniture as categories and Count + Other col as the two bars for each category>

Kratom |
(daily) |
I am a 22 year old male and college graduate.
I have decided to share my experience with Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) use because it has dramatically altered the course of my life. My story with Kratom begins about 3 years ago, while I was in a detox and rehabilitation program for a morphine habit.
I ordered several ounces of kratom leaf prior to entering detox, and it arrived shortly afterward. After completing treatment with buprenorphine, the physical and emotional symptoms of morphine withdrawal were still nearly unbearable. Every fiber of my body ached for what seemed like months, though the most painful portion lasted only about 10 days. I could sleep for no longer than 4 hours at a time, but even this sleep was accompanied by horrendous nightmares of the most uncomfortable sort. I lost weight, and when I saw myself in the mirror for that first month, I saw an emaciated, drawn, and wide-eyed version of myself that I barely recognized.
During the course of the detox, around day 3 or 4 post-buprenorphine treatment, my stoicism broke and I made a glass of kratom tea. I crushed about 5 tablespoons of the dried leaf in my hands and added boiling water and lemon. The ďteaĒ was very bitter and astringent.
Within 30 minutes the tea alleviated all of my symptoms. I felt like me again. Normal, in no particular pain, but for the pain of the guilt that I had relapsed. I flushed the rest of the leaf down the toilet in fear of ruining my detox.
The following days were still horrific (once the kratom wore off) and withdrawal was no easier.
After being clean (and tremendously happy) for about 6 months, I purchased more kratom leaf from an online vendor on a very stupid whim. My addict was still at large. Just like with morphine, within a week I had used the drug at least 7 times, and I was becoming physically dependent. Fear of detoxing, concerns over keeping up appearances, and a foolish notion that taking time off from classes would be more trouble than it was worth all kept me from quitting. Plus I loved how it made me feel - very similar to morphine, but with a weird and uncomfortable blurring of my vision.
Jump ahead 18 months. My face looks drawn again. My moods are erratic, and I never go more than 12 hours without a slug of kratom tea (at ever increasing dosages). I have lost interest in my work, in my friends, my family, and my hobbies. Iím ashamed and unhealthy but still tell no one. Anyways I had an epiphany 11 days ago, and I took time off work to return to the same treatment program I attended for morphine.
Again, I took buprenorphine for initial detox (but this time starting at 10mg/day rather than the 24mg/day I required the first go-around). I have been off the bupes for 5 days. I have experienced the same nightmarish symptoms from kratom that I did from morphine. I might say that the pain and mental anguish has been slightly less intense from kratom withdrawal, but I really must underscore that trying to compare one opiate detox to another is pretty pointless.  Thereís no sense in quantifying the pain. The only differences have been, as I have already said, the amount of buprenorphine that I required initially and, it seems, the duration of the withdrawal symptoms. They built until day 3 or 4, and are now starting to taper off.
I donít plan on getting a good nightís sleep for at least 3 weeks, and Iíll be changing my shirts regularly from excessive perspiration. I canít wait to be me again. Iím so tired of this walking skeleton.

Looking at him now, no one could imagine the horror that “miracle” three-year-old Zac Higgins has been through since he was almost killed in a hit-and-run outside his home in Mahon last March.
“He’s only just walking again, I can’t believe he’s skating now,” says mum Aishling Sexton as she watches her son glide by with his dad Paul.
“I’m convinced that it’s a miracle.
“He couldn’t walk, or talk, or see.  Another boy was in Temple Street [Children’s] Hospital with the same injuries at the same time as Zac and he’s still there, still unable to walk. Zac really is a miracle.”
Zac was hit by a car when he chased his ball onto the usually quiet street outside his home.
Aishling’s nightmare began when she found Zac lying motionless just outside their ho me in Castle Meadows, Mahon, his little head bleeding.
He was rushed to hospital and spent weeks in a coma in Temple Street as his family kept a vigil by his bedside, praying he would wake up.

Aishling said a major turning point was when he sat up again himself for the first time.
“It was a really sunny day in Dublin, we hadn’t been out of the hospital at all and staff there told us to get out for a walk.
“I wasn’t very religious before but when you have nothing you need to find something.
I found this beautiful church and got him blessed. Then we went to a park. I put him on a blanket on the grass to play with him and suddenly he started to sit up.
“He hadn’t been able to move before that. Not at all. He couldn’t even pick something up. He couldn’t see.
“He still had splints on his hands and legs. I was elated. I couldn’t believe it.
“I called his [occupational therapists] and physios and they couldn’t believe it either.”
Since then Zac has returned to the robust little boy he once was. He cut the ribbon as the guest of honour at the opening of Cork on Ice on Centre Park Rd.
Between giggling with siblings Max and Belle, he fitted in a skate and smiled for the cameras.
But his battle is not yet over.
“Physically he’s very strong,” said Aishling.
It’s more cognitive now. Will he go to mainstream school now? We don’t know. He has a brain injury so he may have learning disabilities.
"But he’s in preschool now and he gets physio and [occupational therapy]. We’re hopeful.”

Course Description
Tensorflow is a powerful open-source software library for machine learning developed by researchers at Google Brain. It has many pre-built functions to ease the task of building different neural networks. Tensorflow allows distribution of computation across different computers, as well as multiple CPUs and GPUs within a single machine. TensorFlow provides a Python API, as well as a less documented C++ API. For this course, we will be using Python.
This course will cover the fundamentals and contemporary usage of the
Tensorflow library for deep learning research. We aim to help students understand the graphical computational model of Tensorflow, explore the functions it has to offer, and learn how to build and structure models best suited for a deep learning project. Through the course,
students will use Tensorflow to build models of different complexity, from
simple linear/logistic regression to convolutional neural network and recurrent
neural networks with LSTM to solve tasks such as word embeddings,
translation, optical character recognition. Students will also learn best
practices to structure a model and manage research experiments.
FAQ
Is this the first time this class is offered?
Yes. Therefore, the materials of the class are not yet polished and the teaching might be experimental. Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Will lectures be recorded?
Because this is a student initiated course, the lectures won't be recorded.
Is attendance mandatory?
I won't be taking attendance but I expect to see you often in class. I want to get students' feedback so that I can improve in the future. The class is small (capped at 20), so we will probably get to know each other well.
What is the format of the class?
It will be lecture + discussion. All students in the class are really smart, so I believe the class will an excellent opportunity for us to learn from each other. We will often have guest lecturers who are TensorFlow experts.
Will the course be in Python 2 or 3?
The code examples are in Python 2.7, following the lead of CS231N. I will translate them into Python 3 as soon as I have a chance. You can do assignments in either Python 2 or 3. There is really not much difference.
The course seems to focus on NLP?
The syllabus is currently designed to be 60% Natural Language Processing and 40% Computer Vision. We are hoping to add a class or two about using Tensorflow in Reinforcement Learning.
Can I follow along from the outside?
We'd be happy if you join us! All the slides and lecture notes will be posted on this website. You're welcome to join us on
Piazza and ask questions. We answer all the questions pretty fast. You can also subscribe to the
guest mailing list to get updates from the course.
Can I audit or sit in?
In general we are very open to sitting-in guests if you are a member of the Stanford community (registered student, staff, and/or faculty). Out of courtesy, we would appreciate that you first email us or talk to the instructor after the first class you attend.
Can I work in groups for the assignment?
Yes, in groups of up to two people.
I have a question about the class. What is the best way to reach the course staff?
Stanford students please use an internal class forum on
Piazza so that other students may benefit from your questions and our
answers. If you have a personal matter, email Chip directly.

Goldman Sachs tips CSL share price to hit $300
by Tom RichardsonCSL Limited (ASX: CSL) shares are up 1.2% to $272.89 on the back of a research note out of Goldman Sachs’ healthcare desk this morning.
The analysts have crunched the numbers and taken another look at CSL’s business lines to come up with a bullish new price target.
According to Goldman’s, CSL’s core immunoglobulin business is humming along with “market dynamics highly favourable”.
The analysts are forecasting three-year compound annual sales growth rates of 13% and 17% for CSL’s core Privigen and Hizentra immunoglobulin products.
Overall the analysts have upgraded their earnings per share forecasts by 4% on average though FY 2020 to FY 2022. Goldman’s is forecasting CSL to earn US$4.69 per share in FY 2020 to place it on 39.5x FX-adjusted EPS around $6.90.
On the back of the strong immunoglobulin sales, Goldman’s is forecasting EPS of US$5.53 in FY 2021 to place it on 33.5x FX-adjusted EPS around $8.14.
Goldman’s joins a number of other influential analysts including UBS, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse in delivering bullish price targets for CSL.
Goldman’s also has a buy rating on ResMed Inc. (ASX: RMD) shares.

Before you can retrieve data from the Synoptic API, you need to register as a Synoptic user and obtain a token. Follow the instructions at the Getting Started Page.
Go to the Get Started page and click Sign Up Now! to register for an account.
After registering for your account, go to your profile settings and locate your public token. You may also generate a new token in the “Manage Tokens” tab, if desired.
Copy a public token (not your key!).
SynopticPy needs to know your token. The first time you import synoptic.services it will help you setup your token in its config file.
synoptic.services
Open python in a terminal and type the following:
import synoptic.services
You will be prompted with instructions for aquiring an API token, and then it will ask you to input your token. Remember to enter you API token and not your API key.
What is your Synoptic API token? >>>
The script updates a config file located at ~/.config/SynopticPy/config.cfg. If you are having problems, that file should look something like this:
~/.config/SynopticPy/config.cfg
[Synoptic] token =<PHONE_NUMBER>abcdefg
Every time you import a synoptic.services function it does a quick check to make sure the token in that file is valid. If everything looks good, the next time you import the module you won’t be asked for the token because it is saved in that config file.


"A few years ago we moved our travel planning to The Travel Connection with Sharon McManus, and we have been delighted with the professional and improved handling of all our travel arrangements. The service has been thoughtful, efficient, complete, courteous, and cost-effective. We rest with assurance that Sharon and The Travel Connection staff have taken great care of all our needs."
--B. Yingling
"I just want to say how helpful and efficient the staff at The Travel Connection has been, especially Sharon McManus, who started making our travel arrangements almost 20 years ago. Sharon has always been extremely helpful and efficient at finding great options and deals, both corporate and personal. We refer to Sharon as the ³Hotel Queen,² because she has been able to work her magic many times to accommodate our requirements. She never fails to deliver and certainly makes our lives easier by always going that extra mile. We would be lost without her."
--C. Lee, Chairman
V P Systems, Inc.
Dear Sharon,
My wife and I would like to personally “Thank you” for all the hard work you have provided us for our trips. You and your Company have been able to take care of whatever our needs have been all over the world, and have been able to anticipate our requests, and have suggested great ideas for each of our trips. While we are away we are comforted with the knowledge that you are following along with our daily itinerary, and verifying that all our reservations are intact. Should changes or cancellations occur, we appreciate that you will give us a heads up, and the corrected action you proactively have taken. Thank you again for all the great trips and memories you have helped to create!
Sincerely,
--S & M Dickson
"I have been doing business with the Travel Connection and Sharon McManus for several years. In 2013 she booked a trip for me and three others to London. We then left London and took a two week cruise to Ireland on the Oceania cruise lines. The trip was fabulous and Sharon did an excellent job with all the accommodations. This last October Sharon booked a cruise to Alaska for 10 members of my family. It is a celebration for my 70th Birthday and we're all going from LA to Vancouver, to Alaska in August of this year.. Sharon has done a tremendous job with all the bookings and accommodations. This takes a great deal of work to figure all the details transporting 10 people, arranging tours, etc. Sharon has a great sense of humor and dealing with me she certainly needs it! I will always do my booking with Sharon and the Travel Connection."

Fionnuala McCormack to carry Ireland's medal hopes as Euro cross country team named
Fionnuala McCormack will carry the medal hopes for the Irish at the European Cross Country on Sunday, December 8, the 35-year-old announced on an Irish team of 40 for the event in Lisbon.
The Kilcoole athlete will earn her 38th international cap at the championships where she has twice won individual gold, taking the senior women’s title in 2011 and 2012.
McCormack routed her domestic rivals in Sunday’s national championships, coming home close to two minutes clear in the 8,000m contest, igniting hopes that she can claim another medal at an event in which she has best exhibited her brilliance.
Joining her on the senior women’s team is younger sister Una, who finished third in Sunday’s race, along with Ciara Mageean, the 2018 national cross country champion who bypassed Sunday’s event. The 1500m specialist will provide an undoubted injection of class for the senior women’s team.
Liam Brady will lead the senior men’s team after his surprise victory on Sunday, the Tullamore Harrier joined by the five seniors who were closest to him on Sunday. The runner-up in the senior race, Raheny’s Brian Fay, will head the men’s U-23 team.
There will also be full Irish teams of six in the U-20 races, although only five have so far been named on the men’s team as the eligibility of Efrem Gidey remains unsure. The Eritrean-born teenager came to Ireland as a refugee in 2017 and officials from Athletics Ireland are hopeful the necessary paperwork will be completed in time for the Clonliffe Harrier to represent his adopted country.

paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores)
paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores,...)
paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores)
This function calculates Pareto scores for a given list of N x M objective scores, N being the number of parameter samples that have been rated according to M objective functions.
The function supports 3 methods of calculating the Pareto scores:
paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores,'g')
paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores,'z')
paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores,'v')
for Goldberg (1989), Zitzler and Thiele (1999), or Vrugt (2003) Pareto ranking, respectively. If no string argument is provided, paretoScores = mmsodaCalcPareto(objScores,'v') is assumed.
Run this demo to visually compare differences between methods.

This page explains how an app can use the Flare Socket.IO API to discover and interact with things in an environment. There are also platform-specific tutorials for JavaScript, Swift, and Java.
This diagram has many arrows and should make everything clear:
The device client makes a REST API call to the server to get information about the device:
GET /environments/123/devices/234
The server's response contains the name, description, etc. for the device:
{
"environment": "123",
"_id": "234",
"name": "Andrew's iPhone",
"description": "iPhone 6 (32 GB)",
"data": {
"angle": 60
},
"position": {
"x": 2,
"y": 1
}
}
The client then subscribes to the device so that it will receive any notifications about it:
subscribe {"device":"234"}
Then it requests the most recent data:
getData {"device":"234"}
The server replies by sending back the data:
data {"device":"234", "data":{"angle": 60}}
The client requests the most recent position:
getPosition {"device":"234"}
The server replies by sending back the position:
position {"device":"234", "position":{"x":2, "y":1}}
The thing client makes a REST API call call to the server to get information about the thing:
GET /environments/123/zones/456/things/789
The server's response contains the name, description, etc. for the thing:
{
"environment": "123",
"zone": "456"
"_id": "789",
"name": "Window",
"description": "In traditional Japanese architecture,
a shōji (障子) is a door, window or room divider
consisting of translucent paper over a lattice of bamboo.",
"data": {
"brightness": 0.7,
"color": "blue"
},
"position": {
"x": 10,
"y": 0
},
}
The client then subscribes to the thing so that it will receive any notifications about it:
subscribe {"thing":"789"}
Then it requests the most recent data:
getData {"thing":"789"}
The server replies by sending back the data:
data {"thing":"789", "data":{"brightness":0.7, "color":"blue"}}
The client requests the most recent position:
getPosition {"thing":"789"}
The server replies by sending back the position:
position {"thing":"789", "position":{"x":10, "y":0}}
When the device's position changes, it sends a message to the server:
setPosition {"device":"234", "position":{"x":9, "y":1}}
The server will then notify all other clients that have subscribed to the device. Note that it won't send a message back to the client that sent the original message, because it already has the latest information.
If the server calculates that a device has become near to a thing because the distance between their positions is less than a certain threshold, it will broadcast a near message to all clients that have subscribed to the thing:
near {"device":"234", "thing":"789", "distance":1.414}
The device client can then get information about the thing:
GET /environments/123/zones/-/things/789
Note: If the device client doesn't know what zone the thing is in, it can just use a dash. The REST URL syntax is verbose, but the thing ID what matters. The response will be similar to the one above.
The device client subscribes to the thing:
subscribe {"thing":"789"}
It gets the latest data:
getData {"thing":"789"}
The server replies by sending back the data:
data {"thing":"789", "data":{"brightness":0.7, "color":"blue"}}
The client requests the most recent position:
getPosition {"thing":"789"}
The server replies by sending back the position:
position {"thing":"789", "position":{"x":10, "y":0}}
The server will also broadcast the same near message to all clients that have subscribed to the device:
near {"device":"234", "thing":"789", "distance":1.414}
The thing client can then get information about the device:
GET /environments/123/devices/234
The response will be similar to the one above.
The thing client subscribes to the device:
subscribe {"device":"234"}
It gets the latest data:
getData {"device":"234"}
The server replies by sending back the data:
data {"device":"234", "data":{"angle": 60}}
The client requests the most recent position:
getPosition {"device":"234"}
The server replies by sending back the position:
position {"device":"234", "position":{"x":9, "y":1}}
Either client can change the thing's data:
setData {"thing":"789", "key":"color", "value":"purple"}
The server will then notify all other clients that have subscribed to the thing:
data {"thing":"789", "data":{"color":"purple"}}
Either client can change the device's data:
setData {"device":"234", "key":"angle", "value":120}
The server will then notify all other clients that have subscribed to the device:
data {"device":"234", "data":{"angle":120}}
Any client can perform an action on the thing:
performAction {"thing":"789", "action":"rainbow"}
The action can be handled by the server or any client. If it is not handled by the server, a message will be broadcast to all other clients subscribed to the thing:
handleAction {"thing":"789", "action":"rainbow"}
Any client can perform an action on the device:
performAction {"device":"234", "action":"counterclockwise"}
Similarly, if the action is not handled by the server, a message will be broadcast to all other clients subscribed to the device:
handleAction {"device":"234", "action":"counterclockwise"}
If the thing's position changes, it can send a message to the server:
setPosition {"thing":"789", "position":{"x":10, "y":1}}
The server will then notify all other clients that have subscribed to the thing:
position {"thing":"789", "position":{"x":10, "y":1}}
Note: near and far messages are only triggered when the device's position changes.
If the device's position changes again, it will send a message to the server:
setPosition {"device":"234", "position":{"x":4, "y":5}}
You get the idea by now:
position {"device":"234", "position":{"x":4, "y":5}}
The server will notice when the device is no longer near to the thing, and notify all clients subscribed to the device:
far {"device":"234", "thing":"789"}
The device can then unsubscribe from the thing, and then it won't receive notifications about the thing anymore.
unsubscribe {"thing":"789"}
The server will send the same message to all clients subscribed to the thing:
far {"device":"234", "thing":"789"}
And the thing can unsubscribe from the device as well:
unsubscribe {"device":"234"}

SLIDING DOORS (1998)
A film review by Steve Kong Edited by Cher Johnson Copyright 1998 Steve Kong
Sliding Doors is an interesting film in one respect: It uses a gimmick to explore what we all wonder about each and everyday. What is our fate, and how coincidence can change fate? There is one movie that I love that tackles these two issues, Red. Now, there is another, Sliding Doors. In Sliding Doors though we actually get to see what happens if something happens and if that something doesn't happen.
Helen (Gwyneth Paltrow) is an advertising executive in London. One morning she is fired for no good reason. Feeling down, she goes to take the subway home. Here's where the movie branches into the two story lines. In story line "A" Helen is able to barely catch the train, comes home to find her scummy boyfriend in bed with his mistress, and runs off finding consolation with her best female friend. In story line "B" Helen misses the train, gets mugged, and comes home barely missing her scummy boyfriend's mistress.
In story line A Helen meets a wonderful man, James (John Hannah), starts a new business, and is almost able to start a new life. In story line B we get to see Helen bumble around with her tongue-tied excuse-riddled boyfriend. Sliding Doors alternates between the two story lines and it was somewhat of a workout trying to keep track of which story line I was watching. Thank goodness director/writer Peter Howitt changes Paltrow's hairstyle after the split of the story lines.
Deep inside I liked Sliding Doors, but only half of it. I liked the story with Helen and James. John Hannah's James is just a likeable fellow. From the get-go James charms the audience. The story line (A) is a happy romantic comedy - Hannah's character providing much of the comedy.
The second story (B) is not as well written and I really didn't much care for it. Helen's boyfriend Gerry (John Lynch) stumbles around trying to keep up two relationships. The weak link here is Jeanne Tripplehorn, as Gerry's mistress, who is painful to watch on screen. Atleast John Lynch has his stumbling around to fall upon - and when he doesn't have that, we have Gerry's best friend to entertain us.  It is nothing but the fluff needed to hold up the gimmick that is the staple of this film. I'd much rather Howitt drop story line B altogether and flesh out story line A, where Howitt puts in contrived "tension" with James' "other woman."
As for performances, Paltrow handles the double duty very well. I enjoyed her performance very much. She is radiant on screen and it's nice to see her again - the last film I saw of hers was Great Expectations in which she also gives a good performance. I look forward to see her more on screen, her next film will be the Andrew Davis film A Perfect Murder with Michael Douglas and Viggo Mortensen. The other lead performer in Sliding Doors, John Hannah, steals every scene he's in. The other two major performers, Lynch and Tripplehorn, don't fair so well.
Worth mentioning is Douglas McFerran as Gerry's best friend Russell. McFerran is given all the comedic lines in the film and his performance is one to look for.
Sliding Doors tries to explore the "what if" situations that come from Paltrow's character catching and missing a train. This exploration into fate and coincidence is used to hold up the gimmick that tries to sell the film. The only problem is that one story line is really interesting and the other is not. And having to try to keep track of both story lines just to see how they end up in the same place is a lot of work. I'm not sure if was worth the work just to see how one story line turned out, much more than to see how the two story lines meet up. Red is a better film exploring the issues of fate and coincidence.
Had Sliding Doors been a film just about the relationship between Helen and James (story line A) I would have given this film a Don't Miss nod. As it stands, as a film reliant on a gimmick that doesn't work too well, I give it a good hearty recommendation.
