Cotton is a natural fibre grown on a plant related to the commonly-found garden
species hibiscus. Cotton seeds are planted in spring and the plant grows into green,
bushy shrubs about one metre in height. During the ginning process, the lint is
separated from the seeds and is then pressed into rectangular bales.
Greige goods (Gray goods, Grey goods) are loom state woven fabrics, or unprocessed
knitted fabrics. The greige goods undergo many subsequent processes, for instance,
dyeing, printing, and finishing, prior to further converting to finished goods such as
clothing, or other textiles.


Clarify
What?
Plugin for "Source" (documentation engine), that show chosen code blocks in separate page with defined context. (as example: environment for mobile devices). Context you may create by yourself using Jade.
..should I do to make it work?
Clarify works "from box", but keep in mind that it uses PhantomJS and by default in repo it's prepared for Linux. Download or build suitable one for Mac or PC.
..we're using behind?
How?
..it can be uses
To clarify code block you interested in from noise of bunch information you should do request with following pattern:
http://
source.org
/.../
index.html
?get=mob&id=1,2
, where:
- source.org - hostname/localhost;
- index.html - used to match specs nor navigation;
- mob - predefined context for mobile devices;
- 1,2 - this is .source_example bocks, counting by order from 1;
..it solve problems
Problem: script works when catch index.html in URL bar and this helps him to understnd that it is start to work;
Answer: Check your URL for index.html before request parameters.
P: As result you get empty HTML page
A1: Page which you try to render by Clarify is used template engine and it hasn't enough time to parse page, before Clarify make work done. Fix it by changing timeout in clarify/phantom/ph.js file
A2: You miss change proper PhantomJS version for your platform.
Why?
..it may be useful for you
а) testing specs on mobile devices;
б) testing on old browsers;
..also it may be good fro you
а) make fullscreen specs in Source and easy test in single page;
б) check how work you page in unobtrusive javascript mode;
в) verify the same layout in as many context as you wish;
г) responsive layout testing;

Prosecutors drop death penalty for man convicted in 3 deaths
DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Authorities in Pennsylvania say they won't pursue the death penalty against a man convicted in the slayings of three young men found buried at a suburban Philadelphia farm.
The Bucks County district attorney's office said Monday that it is dropping its pursuit with the understanding of the victims' families.
A sentencing hearing was scheduled Monday for 22-year-old Sean Kratz. He was convicted Friday of first-degree murder and other offenses.
A cousin, 22-year-old Cosmo DiNardo, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prison.
Prosecutors say DiNardo lured the victims to his family's Solebury farm in 2017 as part of a robbery plot. They say Kratz shot one man in the head and served as a lookout while DiNardo killed the others.
DiNardo also confessed to killing a fourth man.

I love coding, working with people and learning new technology.
I've worked in the tech industry since 2006
My first tech job was at Kamahi Electronics where I worked for 7 years. I was involved with many commercially successful product developments. I built, tested and fixed high end scientific equipment and designed multi-layer PCBs for complex mixed signal equipment. I used intuition, tenacity and knowledge from mulitple domains to diagnose and fix difficult technical issues. I learned embedded C programming for microcontrollers and my code is running in the wild on scientific, sporting and safety products.
While working at Kamahi Electronics I ran a small electronics production business with my brother. We contracted to Kamahi Electronics and shipped several hundred research quality scientific instruments to The Netherlands over two years.
After leaving Kamahi and moving to Wellington I worked as a freelance electronics and embedded developer, often contracting back to Kamahi or Hunter Safety Lab among others.
I worked as a facilitating teacher for Enspiral Dev Academy. In my time there I taught or helped teach more than 100 aspiring developers to code. The core of the work involved modelling and solving live coding problems in a classroom environment, but I also facilitated students through difficult conversations, group conflict and emotional breakdowns. My job required that I role modeled vulnerability and empathetic listening which are essential for effective student engagement. I loved working with teams of people, every team was different and had its own unique character.
I'm a founding member of the Protozoa cooperative.
I was the main developer for ~1 year working on the Sunrise Choir project, an ongoing open-source project to re-write scuttlebutt in rust.
My wife Katie and I moved from Wellington to Amsterdam where I worked for funda.nl as .NET backend developer. We've since moved back to Wellington because of covid.
I love learning new skills and I've had a lot of hobbies:
I was nominated for javascript educator of the year at nz.js(con); 2017
"I have worked with Piet in many different contexts over the last two years. It has always been a pleasure working with him. Piet has high integrity and is very kind and caring. He can communicate his ideas clearly and does so while paying close attention to others. He is a good listener and very empathetic. Piet has the incredible ability to be responsive to the moods and emotions of others with empathy and understanding while still maintaining a balanced and calm demeanour. I have been witness to him dealing with conflict in a very honest and communicative way, he is the first to admit that he has made a mistake and is faultless in his approach to rectifying it. I would recommend Piet as a human and as a developer."
"I have had the pleasure to work with Piet for 3 years and have found him to be a gifted developer with a strong work ethic and a generous spirit. I first met him as a student at Dev Academy and was so impressed with his ability and character that I hired him as a teacher the first chance I got. I'm thrilled to see him launching his own company and have no doubt he will be successful in the venture, you will be fortunate if you get the chance to hire him on to your project."
"Piet was a wonderful teacher who was loved by his students. His dedication to the role was outstanding and his loyalty to the learning and positive outcomes for his students was exemplary. Piet would work hard to prepare his lectures and would make sure he led by example. As a school we request a lot of feedback from students. In fact as a school we welcome feedback from all of our stakeholders. Piet was someone who welcomed this and acted on it to better the experience. He was always learning and growing."
"Great dude, great teacher, I learned so much from him. He knew how to articulate and translate information to better my learning!"
"Piet is a great developer and it was awesome to have him as a teacher, really knows his stuff (especially when it comes to testing)!"
"Piet made me passionate about code again, and made me want to pursue teaching. Awesome human, great teacher, probably better than the sum of both when it comes to programming"
"Piet was a very effective and understanding teacher. He knew his subject matter incredibly well and was good at communicating. I particularly commend Piet for his ability to teach and keep engaged a class comprising students covering a wide range of abilities, from zero coding experience to basically a pro coder. Well done Piet!"
"Piet is an amazing teacher, hes really good at answering questions without getting side tracked and keeping on topic. He is also great at adjusting to the way you learn and easy to get along with."
"Really talented programmer and even better mentor. Was a pleasure having you as a teacher"
"Piet was my teacher when I studied web development at EDA. He was an endless source of encouragement and knowledge. He took the time to share his skills and expertise in a way that was relatable and easy to understand. Piet was friendly, approachable and always happy to help with anything I found challenging. "
"I was a student at Enspiral Dev Academy last year where Piet was the teacher and I can honestly say I have never met someone so invested on teaching as he is. I will always have the most convoluted questions to ask in class and he will always find time to answer them, to go above and beyond for his students. His devotion to our learning was not only seen on the teaching of Javascript which he did during long day after day, but he also shared with us the classes of engineer's empathy. These classes were about being a better person and getting closer to other people. It was not mandatory for him to be there, to expose himself like that, but he still did it because he thought it was important. I am sure I have learned Javascript the best possible way, as he is quite adamant in all the best practises, but most importantly I learned that you can be an amazing person and work fantastically with others. Thanks to him I can now believe I am a programmer."

This plugin supports a simple localization for Ruby on Rails and was born in the first half of 2006 by searching a simple way to localize model and attribute names of ActiveRecord models. Time after time more and more features became necessary and the plugin grew. It supports multiple language localization for Ruby on Rails based on language files, localizes the Date and Time classes, many helpers, some methods of ActiveSupport, the ActiveRecord error messages and provides two ways to localize models and their attributes. You can also use the language file to easily localize your own application. You‘ll find an overview just below.
If you have some questions, want to report a bug or just want to talk about the plugin feel free to visit us at simple-localization.arkanis.de/.
To make the plugin more felxible and extendable most of the functionality is split into small "features". These "features" are source files located in the lib/features directory of the plugin and each one localizes a small part of Ruby on Rails. When initializing the plugin you can choose the featurs you want to use. This avoids conflicts in case you have already localized some parts of your application by other means.
To easily support new languages all language specific strings are extracted into language files. These language files can be found in the languages directory of the plugin (or app/languages for your own language files) and are written in the YAML format. They also contain meta data about the author of the language file and can be extended with Ruby code (eg. configuring the Rails Inflector). More detailed information or instructions for creating a new language file can be found in the plugin documenation at simple-localization.arkanis.de/docs/index.
You can install the newest version of the plugin (for Rails 1.1 and 1.2) directly from the SubVersion repository:
./script/plugin install http://svn.arkanis-development.de/projects/rails_plugins/current/simple_localization
The next and already last thing is to call the simple_localization method at the end of your environment.rb file:
simple_localization :language => :de
With this you‘re done. The :language parameter lets you define the language you want to use. Just specify the name of the language file without the .yml extension as a symbol or string. To load multiple languages just specify them in an array:
simple_localization :languages => [:de, :en, :nl, :fr]
The :languages and :language options are doing exactly the same. Use whatever sounds best for you. This one call of the simple_localization method gives you quite more control over the plugin but this is described in the next chapter.
Things get a bit complicated when using Rails model observers. Features which are accessed when the models are loaded are preloaded by the plugin. To disable a preloaded feature set the ArkanisDevelopment::SimpleLocalization::SUPPRESS_FEATURES constant to the name (symbol) of the feature. This have to be done before the Rails::Initializer.run call in the environment.rb. This is necessary because an observer (and with it the corresponding model) is loaded before the plugin is initialized in the environment.rb. Thanks to MK for reporting this problem.
Visit the plugin documentation at simple-localization.arkanis.de/docs/index. There is a lot of cool stuff waiting for you there (e.g. multipart language files, detailed feature descriptions, ect.). You‘ll also find a forum there so if you have a question don‘t hesitate to ask it.
These guys helped to make this plugin what it is today:

| Home > Documentation > Developing > Tutorials > Getting familiar with the development environment > Locating your application specific configuration files |
Many applications have configuration files that are intended to be customized by the user and need to be in an easily accessible location. Geronimo is designed so you can create an application specific configuration directory under the var
directory for this purpose. There are several ways for your application to locate this directory and the files in it. If you deploy your application as a Geronimo plugin you can specify that the original of these files be unpacked from your application plugin when it is installed.
See also the discussion of the system and server locations relevant to running multiple instances from one installation.
There are three ways to locate files in a Geronimo installation. They all depend on the ServerInfo gbean which is intended to be the universal source of location information for the server.
You can specify a gbean-ref to ServerInfo in your geronimo plan:
SNIPPET NEEDED
Look it up in code:
ServerInfo serverInfo = (ServerInfo)new InitialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/ServerInfo"); File myconfig = serverInfo.resolveServer("var/myApp/myConfig.xml");
The ServerInfo gbean sets up two system properties that indicate where the geronimo system and server is located.
public static final String SERVER_DIR_SYS_PROP = "org.apache.geronimo.server.dir"; public static final String HOME_DIR_SYS_PROP = "org.apache.geronimo.home.dir";
Your program can use these to construct the location of your files:
String serverDir = System.getProperty(SERVER_DIR_SYS_PROP); URI serverUri = URI.create(serverDir); URI configFileURI = serverUri.resolve("var/myApp/myConfig.xml"); File configFile = new File(configFileURI.getPath());
You can include a SystemPropertiesGBean in your geronimo plan and set up application specific system properties that can then be used by your program:
<gbean name="MyAppSystemProperties" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.properties.SystemProperties"> <attribute name="systemPathProperties"> com.myApp.ConfigFile=var/myApp/myConfig.xml </attribute> <reference name="ServerInfo"> <name>ServerInfo</name> </reference> </gbean>
String configFileLocation = System.getProperty("com.myApp.ConfigFile"); File configFile = new File(configFileLocation);
It is also possible to to extend the classloader of your application to include a directory into which you can put your configuration files by including a SharedLib gbean in the geronimo plan for your application:
<gbean name="MyAppSharedLib" class="org.apache.geronimo.system.sharedlib.SharedLib"> <attribute name="classesDirs">var/myApp</attribute> <reference name="ServerInfo"> <name>ServerInfo</name> </reference> </gbean>
ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); URL configFileUrl = cl.getResource("myConfig.xml");

I am a retired Dental Hygienist. I was chair of the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer race for the cure the last two years. I was a campaign manager for Rep Larry Liston and an active volunteer for the Republican party, precinct leader and vice chair of House district 16. I was a life long Republican, but the day Republicans decided character was of no importance was the day I was no longer a Republican. I am an unaffiliated voter now. I am committed to seeing fair and consistent house and senate districts with no gerry- mandering. I am a 3rd generation native of Colorado Springs.

I was an active volunteer for the Republican party pre Trump. I was a precinct leader involved in organizing teams to get out the vote, knocking on doors and making those phone calls. I was Vice chair of HD 16. I was a campaign manager for Representative Larry Liston and worked closely with him to promote other candidates until Trump when I changed my party affiliation. After that, I worked tirelessly for Susan G Komen.
Recently I have donated to Joe Biden/ Kamala Harris, Kamala Harris during the primary and Amy Klobuchar also during the primary. I donated to Hillary Clinton in 2015.
I have been extremely active with the Susan G Komen organization for Breast cancer. The last two years I was chair for the Race for the Cure held in the Garden of the Gods, the year before I was an active volunteer for the same organization. This took a great deal of time and effort as we spent 9-10 months planning and organizing for the Race. It was akin to putting on a wedding for 5,000 people. This year it was virtual.
I am a 3rd generation native of Colorado Springs and I have seen the gerry mandering of these districts up close, the behind the scenes wheeling and dealing and I want to see that this is stopped in the state that I love. I want fair elections and in order to have fair elections there needs to be fair, common sense districts. One vote should equal one vote not be smothered out because of any gerry mandering or wild lines drawn on a geographical map to benefit one party over another.
I have done exactly that with the leadership positions I have held. I value character, integrity and honor above all else and hold myself to those same standards. I set a high bar.
I chaired the Komen Race for the Cure for the last two years and you don't get that done without analytical, logic and reasoning skills. I managed many people and business's to get that done and I did that with the wonderful assistance of committed volunteers who I directed. I also did that as a precinct leader, a vice chair of a house district and a Republican campaign manager for Representative Larry Liston. I will provide you recommendations on consideration but I have not applied for any job in a long time and most of what I did was as an unpaid volunteer, including the Komen Race for the Cure.

THE END


--- layout: post title: Discussions on Building Widely Adopted Infrsatructure ---
Every month, a group of engineers at Yelp get together for something we call the "technical roundtable", which is basically a big discussion group on technical topics that are challenging the company. Often, these focus on specific pieces of Yelp's technical infrastructure, but our most recent one touched on time management for mid-level to senior engineers. A lot of the takeaways were initially surprising but obvious in retrospect, so I figured I'd share them with the wider internet.
First, one of our engineering managers talked about the concept of important vs. urgent, which is a common guiding framework for making sure you don't fall into the busyness trap. He also discussed leveraging your time, which Edmund Lau covers really effectively in his book The Effective Engineer. Both of these are useful frameworks, but you can just go read the primary sources to find out more about them.
One interesting concept he touched was the idea of giving up responsibilities as a way to foster organizational health. The basic idea is this: over time it's easy to accumulate a bunch of small, disparate responsibilities like running learning groups which benefit your team/company but are not central to your core job of shipping software. It can be tempting to keep these responsibilities forever, after all, you have the most context on them, and it seems like anyone else who picked them up would only do 80% as well.
Our presenter argued that these types of low-leverage activities are exactly the things that you should be giving up to more junior engineers to help them grow. First and foremost, it frees up your time, so yu can focus on higher-leverage activities for yourself. Second, it'll be a stretch for them, which means that they'll gain new skills and become more productive members of your team. Finally, they'll be able to spend more time focused on that task, so it'll probably get done better in the long run. He closed with a quote from our old SVP who would always ask "can they do it 80% as well as you now? If so, they'll be doing it 120% as well as you in a month", which I felt really succinctly sums up the idea.
The second part of the event was a "point/counterpoint" disccussion, where a variety of engineers got together to discuss the pros/cons of spending our time in various ways. I got placed into the "writing code" breakout group, where one of our infrastructure engineers suggested that it isn't a question of writing too much/too little code, but rather writing the right code and reusing infrastructure where appropriate. This became a question of "how do we make sure everyone knows about the tools that they can reuse so they don't build their own custom solution?"
We discussed the contours of this problem and came up with a few ways to deal with it that feel generally applicable:
A lot of these ideas feel really obvious in retrospect, but it's also really easy to fall into the trap of producing another 60% solution to that just solves your team's version of a problem. It seems like the best solution we've found as an industry is to have infrastructure teams who are incentivized to serve internal developers combined with feature teams which use those tools and make a judgement call about whether they should build something generally applicable or something which just fits their use case. This approach seems to help us get along, but doesn't feel perfect, and I'd love to hear if there are any large software teams which strike this balance really well.

usocket
– socket module¶
This module provides access to the BSD socket interface.
See the corresponding CPython module for comparison.
Difference to CPython
CPython used to have a socket.error
exception which is now deprecated,
and is an alias of OSError. In MicroPython, use OSError directly.
Difference to CPython
For efficiency and consistency, socket objects in MicroPython implement a stream
(file-like) interface directly. In CPython, you need to convert a socket to
a file-like object using makefile()
method. This method is still supported
by MicroPython (but is a no-op), so where compatibility with CPython matters,
be sure to use it.
Socket address format(s)¶
The functions below which expect a network address, accept it in the format of
(ipv4_address, port)
, where ipv4_address
is a string with dot-notation numeric
IPv4 address, e.g. "<IP_ADDRESS>"
, and port is integer port number in the range
1-65535. Note the domain names are not accepted as ipv4_address
, they should be
resolved first using socket.getaddrinfo()
.
Functions¶
-
socket.
socket
(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM, socket.IPPROTO_TCP)¶ Create a new socket using the given address family, socket type and protocol number.
-
socket.
getaddrinfo
(host, port)¶ Translate the host/port argument into a sequence of 5-tuples that contain all the necessary arguments for creating a socket connected to that service. The list of 5-tuples has following structure:
(family, type, proto, canonname, sockaddr)
The following example shows how to connect to a given url:
s = socket.socket() s.connect(socket.getaddrinfo('www.micropython.org', 80)[0][-1])
Difference to CPython
CPython raises a
socket.gaierror
exception (OSError subclass) in case of error in this function. MicroPython doesn’t havesocket.gaierror
and raises OSError directly. Note that error numbers ofgetaddrinfo()
form a separate namespace and may not match error numbers fromuerrno
module. To distinguishgetaddrinfo()
errors, they are represented by negative numbers, whereas standard system errors are positive numbers (error numbers are accessible usinge.args[0]
property from an exception object). The use of negative values is a provisional detail which may change in the future.
Constants¶
-
socket.SOL_*
Socket option levels (an argument to
setsockopt()
). The exact inventory depends on a board.
-
socket.SO_*
Socket options (an argument to
setsockopt()
). The exact inventory depends on a board.
Constants specific to WiPy:
-
socket.
IPPROTO_SEC
¶ Special protocol value to create SSL-compatible socket.
class socket¶
Methods¶
-
socket.
close
()¶ Mark the socket closed. Once that happens, all future operations on the socket object will fail. The remote end will receive no more data (after queued data is flushed).
Sockets are automatically closed when they are garbage-collected, but it is recommended to close() them explicitly, or to use a with statement around them.
-
socket.
bind
(address)¶ Bind the socket to address. The socket must not already be bound.
-
socket.
listen
([backlog])¶ Enable a server to accept connections. If backlog is specified, it must be at least 0 (if it’s lower, it will be set to 0); and specifies the number of unaccepted connections that the system will allow before refusing new connections. If not specified, a default reasonable value is chosen.
-
socket.
accept
()¶ Accept a connection. The socket must be bound to an address and listening for connections. The return value is a pair (conn, address) where conn is a new socket object usable to send and receive data on the connection, and address is the address bound to the socket on the other end of the connection.
-
socket.
connect
(address)¶ Connect to a remote socket at address.
-
socket.
send
(bytes)¶ Send data to the socket. The socket must be connected to a remote socket. Returns number of bytes sent, which may be smaller than the length of data (“short write”).
-
socket.
sendall
(bytes)¶ Send all data to the socket. The socket must be connected to a remote socket. Unlike
send()
, this method will try to send all of data, by sending data chunk by chunk consecutively.The behavior of this method on non-blocking sockets is undefined. Due to this, on MicroPython, it’s recommended to use
write()
method instead, which has the same “no short writes” policy for blocking sockets, and will return number of bytes sent on non-blocking sockets.
-
socket.
recv
(bufsize)¶ Receive data from the socket. The return value is a bytes object representing the data received. The maximum amount of data to be received at once is specified by bufsize.
-
socket.
sendto
(bytes, address)¶ Send data to the socket. The socket should not be connected to a remote socket, since the destination socket is specified by
address
.
-
socket.
recvfrom
(bufsize)¶ Receive data from the socket. The return value is a pair (bytes, address) where bytes is a bytes object representing the data received and address is the address of the socket sending the data.
-
socket.
setsockopt
(level, optname, value)¶ Set the value of the given socket option. The needed symbolic constants are defined in the socket module (SO_* etc.). The value can be an integer or a bytes-like object representing a buffer.
-
socket.
settimeout
(value)¶ Set a timeout on blocking socket operations. The value argument can be a nonnegative floating point number expressing seconds, or None. If a non-zero value is given, subsequent socket operations will raise an
OSError
exception if the timeout period value has elapsed before the operation has completed. If zero is given, the socket is put in non-blocking mode. If None is given, the socket is put in blocking mode.Difference to CPython
CPython raises a
socket.timeout
exception in case of timeout, which is anOSError
subclass. MicroPython raises an OSError directly instead. If you useexcept OSError:
to catch the exception, your code will work both in MicroPython and CPython.
-
socket.
setblocking
(flag)¶ Set blocking or non-blocking mode of the socket: if flag is false, the socket is set to non-blocking, else to blocking mode.
This method is a shorthand for certain
settimeout()
calls:sock.setblocking(True)
is equivalent tosock.settimeout(None)
sock.setblocking(False)
is equivalent tosock.settimeout(0)
-
socket.
makefile
(mode='rb', buffering=0)¶ Return a file object associated with the socket. The exact returned type depends on the arguments given to makefile(). The support is limited to binary modes only (‘rb’, ‘wb’, and ‘rwb’). CPython’s arguments:
encoding
,errors
andnewline
are not supported.Difference to CPython
As MicroPython doesn’t support buffered streams, values of
buffering
parameter is ignored and treated as if it was 0 (unbuffered).Difference to CPython
Closing the file object returned by makefile() WILL close the original socket as well.
-
socket.
read
([size])¶ Read up to size bytes from the socket. Return a bytes object. If
size
is not given, it reads all data available from the socket untilEOF
; as such the method will not return until the socket is closed. This function tries to read as much data as requested (no “short reads”). This may be not possible with non-blocking socket though, and then less data will be returned.
-
socket.
readinto
(buf[, nbytes])¶ Read bytes into the
buf
. Ifnbytes
is specified then read at most that many bytes. Otherwise, read at mostlen(buf)
bytes. Just asread()
, this method follows “no short reads” policy.Return value: number of bytes read and stored into
buf
.
-
socket.
readline
()¶ Read a line, ending in a newline character.
Return value: the line read.
-
socket.
write
(buf)¶ Write the buffer of bytes to the socket. This function will try to write all data to a socket (no “short writes”). This may be not possible with a non-blocking socket though, and returned value will be less than the length of
buf
.Return value: number of bytes written.

A Memo on Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Definition
Here is a quick review of MLE.
Suppose \(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n\) are i.i.d. with density function \(f(x|\theta)\) for \(\theta \in \Theta\), for which \(\theta^*\) is the true unknown parameter. We need to give an estimator \(\hat{\theta} = \hat{\theta}(x_1, x_2, ..., x_n)\). And the likelihood function is defined to be
\[
L_n(\theta) = L_n(\theta; x_1, ..., x_n) = \prod_{i = 1} ^ {n} f(x_i|\theta)
\]
MLE estimator is
\[
\hat{\theta} _n = \arg\max_\theta L_n(\theta)
\]

Extension: Cutadapt parameters¶
Cutadapt has a lot more parameters for searching. Here are some of them that you might use to optimise returning as many reads as possible while still removing any errors.
Data and software
This extension follows on from the tutorial on demultiplexing using the same data and software.
Error tolerance¶
Cutadapt can be error-tolerant, allowing you to permit some mismatches between your indices and the sequences. Our adapters are all at least 3 bases different, so in theory we could allow a one-base difference to try and get more reads for our samples. The relevant option is -e
, which is the maximum error rate (0-1), i.e. the total proportion of errors allowed in our indices. The default, 0.1, would allow 10% errors, but since our indices are only 6 bases this rounds to 0 errors allowed.
Exercise
- Create two more new directories and try
-e
values that allow one error or two errors, putting the outputs into those two directories. Explore the read numbers usinggrep
- How do the read numbers vary?
- Is being more error-tolerant sensible?
Variable index location¶
In the main section, we used the ^
symbol to denote that our index sequences must be exactly at the start of a read. However, sequencing errors may mean that this might not be the case. There may be extraneous bases before the index sequence, or some of the bases may be missing. Of course, if too many bases are missing it will no longer be identifiable, but as we discussed above, 5 out of 6 correct bases would still allow us to identify the correct index. Consider the following hypothetical reads (don’t run this):
key: INDEXPRIMERSEQUENCE 1 AACACCCCAGATATGGCCTTCCCACGATCC # This is perfect 2 ACACCCCAGATATGGCCTTCCCACGATCCG # This is missing just one index base 3 TAACACCCCAGATATGGCCTTCCCACGATC # This has an extra base before the index
Cutadapt is very flexible, and we can find these variants if we abandon the anchoring (i.e. we remove ^
before the indices).
To cope with the truncated index (example 2 above), we can set the minimum overlap parameter, -O
to 5, i.e. we must find at least 5 bases (in order) of the index sequence. To allow the index sequence to move into the read, we can add N
before the index, essentially searching for an index that is 7 bases long, but the first base can be anything. Paired with the -O 5
option, this will find all of the examples above.
But wait, we’ve removed index anchoring, so now it’ll also find any sequence motifs within the read that match the index - that’s not good! Never fear. We can add a special character, X
to the beginning of our indices to make them “noninternal”. Within cutadapt, the X
base is the opposite of N
: where N
is anything, X
is nothing - X
should never match a base, and therefore the index cannot match anything within the read.
To visualise this, we can consider a search using the index g=XNAACACC
with -O 5
(don’t run this):
1 AACACCCCAGATATGGCCTTCCCACGATCC XNAACACC = match! 2 ACACCCCAGATATGGCCTTCCCACGATCCG XNAACACC = match! 3 TAACACCCCAGATATGGCCTTCCCACGATC XNAACACC = match! 4 ATGAACACCCGUTTAGCTAAACGGATTTAGAC XNAACACC = no match, X may not match a base!
Exercise
- Create another new directory, then build a cutadapt command that uses these “noninternal” indices. If you get stuck, see the solution below.
- Check the number of reads returned using
grep
. - Do we see a boost in read counts?
Solution
cutadapt -g T4=XNAAGAGG -g T9=XNAATCGC -g T11=XNAGCTAC \ -G T4=XNAAGAGG -G T9=XNAATCGC -G T11=XNAGCTAC \ -O 5 \ -o 1_demux/{name1}-{name2}_R1.fastq -p 1_demux/{name1}-{name2}_R2.fastq \ 0_rawsequences/Lib1_R1.fastq 0_rawsequences/Lib1_R2.fastq
Tradeoffs¶
Changing the error rate, minimum overlap and/or using noninternal indices (rather than anchored indices) generally increases the number of reads we get, but these may allow more errors to creep in. As always with bioinformatics, it’s a trade-off between having highly accurate data or having as much data as possible. There is no right answer, you should consider what variation you consider to be reasonable within valid data, and which is more important: highly accurate data with possible missing information, or complete data with some inaccuracies.
Next Steps¶
If you’re following step-by-step with the example data, we suggest you delete or archive the files you created here as this was just to explore a bit, and use the outputs from the main demultiplexing tutorial. But if you really want, you could run cutadapt using these modified parameters on all of the raw sequence files and continue with those outputs.


Qaim Ali Shah moves IHC for pre-arrest bail
by https://www.facebook.com/dunyanewsISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah has on Friday moved the Islamabad High Court (IHC) for pre-arrest bail, Dunya News reported.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader requested the court in his petition to bar the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) from arresting him on December 4 when the erstwhile CM is scheduled to appear before the anti-graft body.
The court will conduct hearing on the pre-arrest bail plea today.
It is pertinent here to mention that PPP senior leaders – former president Asif Ali Zardari, his sister Faryal Talpur and former opposition leader Khurshid Shah – are already under arrest.

GDG Baroda / Community Group is dedicated to providing a harassment-free and inclusive event experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or other protected category. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. GDG Baroda / Community Group takes violations of our policy seriously and will respond appropriately.
All participants of GDG Baroda / Community Group events must abide by the following policy:
- Be excellent to each other. We want the event to be an excellent experience for everyone regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, age, religion, or other protected category. Treat everyone with respect. Participate while acknowledging that everyone deserves to be here -- and each of us has the right to enjoy our experience without fear of harassment, discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or via micro-aggressions. Jokes shouldn’t demean others. Consider what you are saying and how it would feel if it were said to or about you.
- Speak up if you see or hear something. Harassment is not tolerated, and you are empowered to politely engage when you or others are disrespected. The person making you feel uncomfortable may not be aware of what they are doing, and politely bringing their behavior to their attention is encouraged. If a participant engages in harassing or uncomfortable behavior, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning or expelling the offender from the event with no refund. If you are being harassed or feel uncomfortable, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the event staff immediately.
- Harassment is not tolerated.  Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
- Practice saying "Yes and" to each other. It’s a theatre improv technique to build on each other’s ideas. We all benefit when we create together.
This policy extends to talks, forums, workshops, codelabs, social media, parties, hallway conversations, all attendees, partners, sponsors, volunteers, event staff, etc. You catch our drift. GDG Baroda / Community Group reserves the right to refuse admittance to, or remove any person from, any GDG Baroda / Community Group hosted event (including future GDG Baroda / Community Group events) at any time in its sole discretion. This includes, but is not limited to, attendees behaving in a disorderly manner or failing to comply with this policy, and the terms and conditions herein. If a participant engages in harassing or uncomfortable behavior, the event organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning or expelling the offender from the event with no refund.
Our event staff can usually be identified by special badges/attire. Our zero tolerance policy means that we will look into and review every allegation of violation of our Event Community Guidelines and Anti-Harassment Policy and respond appropriately. Please note, while we take all concerns raised seriously, we will use our discretion as to determining when and how to follow up on reported incidents, and may decline to take any further action and/or may direct the participant to other resources for resolution.
Event staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing discomfort or harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.
Exhibiting partners, sponsors or vendor booths, or similar activities are also subject to this policy. In particular, exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment. Participants and exhibiting partners or sponsors disobeying this policy will be notified and are expected to stop any offending behavior immediately.
Why this policy is important
Harassment at events and in online communities is unfortunately common. Creating an official policy aims to improve this by making it clear that harassment of anyone for any reason is not acceptable within our events and communities. This policy may prevent harassment by clearly defining expectations for behavior, aims to provide reassurance, and encourages people who have had bad experiences at other events to participate in this one.

Mushrooms - P. cubensis
At 22, I am enjoying myself, getting through college, and liking boys. One of my excellent stress relievers is to enjoy a substance, and while under the influence, make love. It makes sex more spiritual. This experience with mushrooms and sex is worth telling.
Finding mushrooms was not difficult. I asked a guy that was selling regular gourmet mushrooms at a farmers market that I have known for awhile. He came up with 2.5 grams of dried shrooms, and said that they were a variety called oasis.
So, I invited my man over on a Saturday afternoon. He called me about 45 minutes before he arrived and about 10 minutes before he arrived, I ingested 1.00 grams of dried shrooms. The mushrooms were chopped finely, and taken on a slice of rye bread with honey. My intention was to enhance my environment, and not take a mind bending trip, so I think my dosage was lower than one might want to take. I told my man that I had taken some shrooms, and wanted to “feel” him while the shrooms had me.
About 30 minutes after ingestion, my sense of smell became much more intense. Take for instance, if I smell a pizza. Well this was like, smelling the ingredients of a pizza, instead of smelling just the pizza.  I was taking in his essence. This made me incredibly amorous.
As we made love, the oneness became overwhelming, I truly have never been so close to someone. Every sensation was amplified. He began at my feet, and enveloped me. I became part of him, like I was inside of him. This was incredible, and the culmination of this was long lasting.
The amplification, of sexual contact caused by low doses of mushrooms is beyond compare.

History of the National Society of Black Engineers
In 1971, two Purdue undergraduate students, Edward Barnette (now deceased) and Fred Cooper approached the dean of engineering at Purdue University with the concept of starting the Black Society of Engineers (BSE). They wanted to establish a student organization to help improve the recruitment and retention of black engineering students. In the late 1960s, a devastating 80 percent of the black freshmen entering the engineering program dropped out. The dean agreed to the idea and assigned the only black faculty member on staff, Arthur J. Bond, as advisor.
Barnett served as the first president of the BSE. The fledging group gained momentum in 1974, with the direction and encouragement of Bond and the active participation of the young men whose destiny was to become the founders of NSBE. Now known as the "Chicago Six", these men are Anthony Harris, Brian Harris, Stanley L. Kirtley, John W. Logan, Jr., Edward A. Coleman, and George A. Smith.
Encouraged by their on-campus success, Anthony Harris, president of the Purdue chapter, wrote a letter to the presidents and deans of every accredited engineering program in the country (288), explained the Society of Black Engineers (SBE) concept and asked them to identify black student leaders, organizations and faculty members who might support their efforts on a national basis. Approximately 80 schools responded. Many had similar Black student organizations with similar objectives. A date was set for the first national meeting and 48 students representing 32 schools attended the event, held April 10-12, 1975. Harris also changed the organizations' nomenclature from the BSE to the Society of Black Engineers (SBE).
It was at that historic meeting through majority vote, that SBE became the National Society of Black Engineers. The familiar NSBE symbol "N" with lightning bolts was chosen and it remains a distinctively recognizable symbol representing the premier technical organization for African American engineering students and professionals. NSBE was eventually incorporated in Texas, in 1976 as a non-profit organization. John Cason, also of Purdue, served as the first elected president of NSBE. As the organization grew, Virginia Booth became the first female National Chairperson and the first to serve two terms 1978-1980.
NSBE has since grown from six to over 30,000 members and the annual meeting has blossomed into an annual National Convention, hosting over 8,000 attendees. NSBE has 270 student and 50 alumni chapters. Headquartered in Alexandria, Va., NSBE offers academic excellence programs, scholarships, leadership training, professional development and access to career opportunities for thousands of members annually. With over 2,000 elected leadership positions, 12 regional conferences and an annual convention, NSBE provides opportunities for success that remain unmatched by any other organization.
Mission Statement
To increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.
In striving to complete the mission, the members of NSBE set our, each year, in sight of accomplishing the following goals:
- Stimulate and develop student interest in the various engineering disciplines. Strive to increase the number of minority students studying engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
- Encourage members to seek advanced degrees in engineering or related fields and to obtain professional engineering registrations.
- Encourage and advise minority youth in their pursuit of an engineering career.
- Promote public awareness of engineering and the opportunities for Blacks and other minorities in that profession.
- Function as a representative body on issues and developments that affect the careers of Black Engineers.
- New and innovative project ideas are generated and implemented throughout the year on the chapter, regional and national levels.
The NSBE Symbol, The Torch
The torch symbolizes members' everlasting, burning desire to achieve success in a competitive society and positively affect the quality of life for all people. The lightning bolt represents the striking impact that will be felt by the society and industry due to the contributions and accomplishments made by the dedicated members of the National Society of Black Engineers.
Plans for the Future
In being a leader of NSBE it is imperative that you know and completely understand the focus of the organization. Our mission is to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers. One way in doing this is by becoming an advocate for NSBE. This means that when reaching out to the community, your message to the public represents NSBE.


Features
What functionalities are available in Hippo ECM?With icons? Get feature list from What is Hippo ECM?Hippo Repository ships with numerous (customizable) default features, such as workflow, access management, authorization, versioning, document templates, and faceted navigation .
Hippo Repository / DMS
Why use Hippo ECM?
Managing all information in an organization is a daunting task. Knowledge is stored in numerous files, emails, webpages, forms, Excel sheets, and so on, and is handled differently for every organization. To work with all this information, every organization employs a diverse set of applications that adds logic and behaviour. Hippo ECM can integrate those applications, manage the underlaying information and present the end user with a simple, unified environment for all their information management.
Why choose Hippo ECM?
- Hippo ECM, 100% Open Source Enterprise Content Management: Hippo ECM facilitates an open and flexible way of using your information by following internationally accepted open standards. This allows integration of other applications, ensures freedom to change to other ECM systems, if so desired
- Extensively Modular: Hippo EMC differentiates itself from other ECM and CMS systems by its clean separation of content storage, management and presentation. These modules (independent units) are even subdivided into smaller modules. This extensive modularity allows for fast development and for extensibility, even by other parties. An overview of the higher level modules and their interconnection can be found at ECM Architecture .
Faceted Navigation
Hippo Facet Navigation works out of the box. Browsing through authorized faceted navigation gives you multiple ordered views with the number of occurences on your (unstructured) physical data. One single document can be found via multiple faceted paths. Users do not have to think about structuring the content in a hierarchical of taxonomic order, but rather the structure evolves organically based on meta data and the users' authorisation.
The Hippo Facet Navigation works extremely fast for a faceted view with counting and
authorization. The view renders as if you are clicking through a cached File System.
Hippo Facet Navigation includes user based faceted authorisation which makes it very
powerful as a DMS, where instead of users having to worry about structure, they browse to
their specific content the way they want.

Most likely the file doesn't exist.
If you think it does, then most likely you haven't considered what the current working directory is when you run that code. The file isn't in that directory.
There's also the possibility that an exception is thrown for some other reason. Your code is specifically written to ignore such an exception, so you would be unable to find that out. Change it so that it at least tells you about exceptions:

The TeamCity to Rally Integrator is a Java Plugin for TeamCity which publishes build information to Rally. What this means is that every time a build is triggered in TeamCity the details of the build are published into Rally and are visible in Rally.
Why would you want to do this?
Installation is quite simple.
| Parameter | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Server URL | The Rally URL (must have HTTPS://). Normally https://rally1.rallydev.com | True |
| Username | Valid Rally Username. | True |
| Password | Password for the specified Username | True |
| Test Only | If checked that builds are not created but details are logged to the log file. | No |
| Create BuildDef | If this is checked and you specify a build definition name that cannot be found then the intergator will create one for you automatically. | No |
At this stage the integrator is installed and active. If there are any issues, review the teamcity-rally.log in the Diagnostics/Logs page
To configure a build to connect to Rally, go to the build configuration settings for the build and setup the following 4 custom properties
The sequence of steps that are initiated are as follows:
All steps and errors are reported in the teamcity-rally.log file which can be accessed via Diagnostics.
| Parameter | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| RallyWorkspace | The textual name of the Workspace in Rally associated with this build. | False, if not specified the first build def found by name will be used. |
| RallyProject | The name of the project folder for this build. | False, if not specified the first build def found by name will be used. |
| RallyBuildDef | The name of the build definition for this build. (normaly this is "Default Build Definition" unless renamed. | Yes, this must be defined. If not defined no builds will be created in Rally. |
| RallySCM | The name given to the SCM repository for this build. This name is as it is configured in Rally. To check these, setup a custom grid viewing SCMRepository. | True if you want ChangeSets associated with a build. Leave blank and builds will be created without associated change set information. |
It is recommended that you turn on logging during the initial stages. You can turn on logging by modifying the teamcity-server-log4j.xml file found in the conf folder in your teamcity server.
Add a new APPENDER called "RALLY.LOG" as follows
<appender name="RALLY.LOG" class="jetbrains.buildServer.util.TCRollingFileAppender">
<param name="file" value="${teamcity_logs}teamcity-rally.log"/>
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="[%d] %6p - %30.30c - %m %n"/>
</layout>
</appender>
Add a new category as follows. You can set the priority from INFO to WARN or ERROR but start with INFO to help debugging any issues.
<category name="com.rally.integration" additivity="false">
<priority value="INFO"/>
<appender-ref ref="RALLY.LOG"/>
</category>
In Rally all new projects automatically get a build definition created called "DEFAULT BUILD DEFINITION". You should add a custom GRID in Rally and select BuildDefinition as the type to view in the grid and rename your build definitions to something meaningful.

It was the first time I was using Gulp. The experience, I must say, was quite enjoyable. Gulp is a javascript automated task runner. And it prefers code over configuration and gives you the plugins to create tasks that fit your specific needs and helps in the production process.
Why we need Gulp ?
As front-end developers, we often need to look at the tools we use and decide if we are using the right tool for the job. It creates a good practice within the flow to the system. You’ll save hours of effort and reduce human error. It’s a build tool that helps to speed up your workflow by : * Automating Repetitive tasks * Optimising Images * Concatenating * Minifying Css and Javascript * Browser Prefixes
It focuses on piping the result of one task into the next until you reach the point where you’ve completed all your tasks on that particular file. To do a front-end project, this was a new world to me! Initially, I usually just dragged my project folder into Prepros and wrote some Scss or LESS but it makes platform dependent which is very difficult to share and co-operate with other members. But after using Gulp the whole thing changed. My workflow became clean, effective and the entire process helped me save a lot of time. So, here’s the further process of how we can include Gulp to our projects.
For Gulp to run into the system we need following things first:
- Node.js — we’ll be using Node.js, but you don’t need to be a Node.js developer. JavaScript knowledge is helpful but there are plenty snippets to use and adapt.
- The command line — you will be typing commands rather than using a GUI.
Documentation
For a Getting started guide, API docs, recipes, making a plugin, etc. see the documentation page.
Sample gulpfile.js
Getting Started
Install gulp globally
$ npm install –global gulp
Install gulp in your project devDependencies
$ npm install –save-dev gulp
Create a gulpfile.js at the root of the project
var gulp = require(‘gulp’);
gulp.task(‘default’, function() { // place code for your default task here });
Run Gulp
$ gulp
Let’s just have a quick tour on how to set up a Gulp workflow to work with its powerful plugins. Here is what I have included in my project: * Sass compilation * Image minified * Autoprefixer * SourceMaps
Compiling Sass
The first thing to do is to install the dependencies and to create a Gulpfile.js.

Watch
Before finishing there is still one thing to do: creating a watch task. The point of this task is to watch for changes in stylesheets to recompile them. It is very convenient when working on the project so you don’t have to run the task/command manually every time you save a file.
Install
npm install –save-dev gulp-watch

Conclusion
Gulp is a popular and powerful tool for automating web development tasks. It seems to be overtaking Grunt in popularity. If you are not currently using Gulp, you should definitely give it a shot!

I have had adhd for seven years, and struggled daily with school. My senior year, my parents and I demanded the doctors put me on some type of medicine. I was put on adderall, my brother had been on it and it worked for him. Within two weeks my grades went from D's to all A's, I woke up dreary, but within 20 minutes after my first pill, I felt a rush of energy starting in my stomach and finally an all over body rush. I would talk nonstop, and was motivated, it was like a dream. After school I would go to work and stay until 10:30.
Thats when I began to first abuse. At the sign of sleepiness I would pop a pill. For months I was taking 20mg 4 times a day.After awhile, the buzz would totally wear off, and leave me hanging.I would talk and not make much sense, I lost my strong relationship to my boyfriend, because of my carelessness. A couple days after that I withdrew from adderall, and felt the rush in my body I had wanted without the drug, but not the help with concentrating. So I once again began responsibly taking adderall, vowing not to abuse.
Right now I am in a worse situation. I am eating them like candy, with or without the 'high'. My eyes sag, Im tired earlier, my hands shake uncontrollably,and during the day I feel nauscious and constantly dizzy, so dizzy I cannot concentrate on anything at all.I am irritable, and as much as I want to party with my friends,I never call. I have always been a sexual person, but lately I have been going too far. I read an experience of someone who also had this problem with masturbating. I can go on for 2-3 hours until I bleed. I have figured out that I need to lay off the adderall, and wait till I'm back to normal, because of these side affects, but Im afraid I wont be able to get anything done. :(

NFL QB power rankings: Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott up again; Tom Brady hangs with Jimmy Garoppolo for Week 12
by Vinnie IyerRanking NFL quarterbacks has never been more difficult.The league has never seen so many good passers (and runners) at the position as it has in 2019, from rising young stars to accomplished veterans with plenty of above-average playersin between.
Becauseour preseason rankingsweren't enough, we will keep doing weekly updates based on the natural fluctuation of football's most important position.
This week, it's time to recognize that no one is playing the position better overall than the new leading candidate for MVP and also give more props for the big-time player inBig D. There's no doubt this season has been all about the emergence of the best athletes at the position.
From the best to the worst current starters for every team, let the debate continue.
WEEK 12 NFL PICKS: Against the spread | Straight up
NFL quarterback power rankings: Week 12
1. Lamar Jackson, Ravens (last week: 2)
Jackson now has head-to-head victories over Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson, outplaying them both in big games for his team. He was also greatly responsible for taking down the Patriots and their defense. He's on pace for 3,612 yards passing and 30 TDs with 8.1 yards per attempt and a 106.3 passer rating. He's also on pace for a record 1,250 yards rushing and 10 more TDs there. That's one of the greatest individual seasons in NFL history, and therefore completely MVP-worthy.
2. Russell Wilson, Seahawks (1)
Wilson leads the NFL with his 114.9 passer rating and 23 passing TDs. He's still firmly in the MVP conversation, as he keeps putting his team on his back, too. He canget his lead back from Jackson with a strong finish after a bye, but that might require him helping his team winthe NFC West.
3. Dak Prescott, Cowboys (5)
Prescott leads the NFL with 3,221 passing yards after dropping 444 on the Lions last week. He's on pace for 5,153 yards, which would be more than Patrick Mahomes posted in his 2018 MVP season. He's doing it at 8.8 yards per attempt with a 104.1 passer rating. His nineinterceptions with 21 TDs might keep him from getting enough juice for MVP behind Jackson and Wilson.
4. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs (3)
Mahomes has proved he's human battling through his own injuries as well as those to his receivers and offensive line. He still makes plenty of plays Kansas City needs with his arm and now more so with his legs. The lost time and reduced numbers probably rule out an MVP repeat, but he's still rating 110.0 at 8.7 yards per attempt.
5. Deshaun Watson, Texans (4)
Watson did his typical rebound from a bad game in making the big plays needed to take down the Colts on Thursday night, with a big assist from the return of speedy deep threat Will Fuller to complement and open up more things downfieldfor DeAndre Hopkins. Watson ishaving a special season with his arm and legs to be on par with the quartet above.
NFL POWER RANKINGS: Ravens jump Patriots, Cowboys climb
6. Kirk Cousins, Vikings (10)
Cousins was also overdue for a big bump with his impressive pocket passing, as he's averaging 8.6 yards per attempt inrating just behind Wilson at a ridiculous 114.8 with 21 TDs to only threeinterceptions. The big-game narrative on him has quickly changed, as he's locked into all of his receivers, playing well off the run with a 70.6 completion percentage to boot.
7. Aaron Rodgers, Packers (6)
Rodgers is only at 7.8 yards per attempt, and his 102.7 passer rating is actually a little shy of his career mark (103.1). But he's no longer asked to carry Green Bay with Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams doing damage out of the backfield and the pass defense much improved.
8. Drew Brees, Saints (9)
Brees is completing 75.4 percent of his passes over his five games, adding up to a 104.8 passer rating despite being at only 7.6 yards per attempt. New Orleans continues to be more about the defense and running game, but he's back to pouring on some greatgravy.
9. Tom Brady, Patriots (7)
Brady hasn't dropped off as much people would like to think beyond some of the natural decline you would expect at age 42. He has also kept his team winning despite the offensive frustrations that include shaky line play, an inept power running game and a compressed passing game that's short on healthy impact wide receivers. He still has plenty of GOAT equity, but consider he's down to 6.8 yards per attempt and a 90.1 passer rating.
10. Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers (11)
Garoppolo is up to 10 interceptions, but he's got that Brady comeback flair working for him. With a good three-week stretch, he's up to a 68.8 completion percentage, 7.8 yards per attempt and a 97.7 passer rating. The narrative of him being the Niners' weak link was lame. Watch him go to work now with all of his best weapons healthy together.
11. Derek Carr, Raiders (13)
Forget what we thought about Carr in the first year with Jon Gruden. He's had a terrific comeback season — knock on wood if you're with us. Carr is completing 72.3 percent of his passes at 8.0 yards per attempt, taking full advantage of superior pass protection and better receivers to post a playoff-worthy 105.2 passer rating.
12. Carson Wentz, Eagles (8)
Wentz is in the same situation as Brady, caught more in passing battles vs. his team's own attrition. He's lost some of his accuracy without having good opportunities to stretch the field with the deep ball. He's hanging tough to keep the Eagles in the playoff race, but the numbers are down to a 61.2 completion percentage, 6.6 yards per attempt and a 91.4 rating.
13. Matt Ryan, Falcons (12)
Now that the Falcons are winning again with much better defense, you can go back to appreciating what Ryan keeps giving them as a steady, mentally tough force. His numbers are better than you think with 7.6 yards per attempt and a 97.8 rating.
14. Jacoby Brissett, Colts (14)
Brissett's solid season had a hiccup with his knee injury, which also cost the Colts a couple of key games.  He's proved capable of handling beingmoreplaymaker than caretaker.
15. Kyler Murray, Cardinals (15)
The rookie keeps his solid upper-half position going to the bye. Coach Kilff Kingsbury has adapted his offense more to Murray's strengths, and it's shown as he's strung together consecutive solid games with better red zone finishing.
MORE: Kyler Murray flashing superstar skills of Lamar Jackson
16. Baker Mayfield, Browns (17)
It's been a slow climb for Mayfield to getback to where he finished his rookie season. But he's been sharp in the past two games, both wins, and it helps he's getting more help from his backs and wide receivers when he throws. The schedule ahead gives him a chance to turn a sophomore slump into more third-year promise.
17. Ryan Tannehill, Titans (20)
Tannehill is 3-1 as Tennessee's starter since taking over for Marcus Mariota, making strong decisions while being aggressive and accurate with the ball. He's rounded out the offense to allow Derrick Henry to run well without being the sole center of attention. The Titans can't be ruled out to make more wild-card and division noise down the stretch.
18. Josh Allen, Bills (23)
Allen had shown only marginal improvement from his rookie season, still relying a lot on his running, until he had a spectacular passing game against the lowly Dolphins in Week 12, the best of his young career. He's done what he's needed to do to put the Bills in playoff position.
19. Sam Darnold, Jets (25)
Darnold, like Mayfield and Allen, is beginning to find his groove again in an offense that caters to his strengths, albeit against weaker opponents. The early bout with mono hurt his preseason momentum with Adam Gase, and we're seeing of late why that combination might work after all.
20. Jameis Winston, Buccaneers (16)
Winston's league-leading interception total (18) isn't all his fault, but it's high enough to drop him a few spots lower with younger QBs playing well. We still stick by the fact that the Buccaneers need to reinvest in him because he does have good chemistry with their main receivers, who no longer included O.J. Howard.
21. Daniel Jones, Giants (21)
Jones stays where he is coming out of his first bye as an NFL starter. The rookie first-rounder has shown plenty to think the Giants made the right pick at No. 6 overall. It looks like he will have Sterling Shepard back to help, but he could really use safety-valvetight ends Evan Engram and Rhett Ellison being healthy, too.
22. Philip Rivers, Chargers (18)
Speaking of interceptions, here's another gunslinger who has thrown sevenin the past two games. It's clear, despite his declining arm strength, Rivers is trying to do too much to win games, leading to head-scratching veteran mistakes. Let's hope the recency bias doesn't hurt what had been a slam-dunk Hall of Fame case.
23. Nick Foles, Jaguars (24)
Foles returned to start in Indianapolis, throwing one interception that counted and another that was a "pick two" after a touchdown. The Jaguars immediately have gotten more aggressive throwing the ball downfield with him, which is good for second-year breakout wideout D.J. Chark but not so much for everyone else in the offense.
24. Jared Goff, Rams (22)
We're to the point with Goff playing poorly, the Rams' pass protection woes and receiver reshuffling that the team is starting to take the offense out of his hands. He's failed to live up to his contract, given highly-paid, so-called elite QBs are supposed to lift their teams, not get buried under problems around them.
25. Kyle Allen, Panthers (19)
What was that? Allen saw Winston and Rivers with his four interceptions against the Falcons. The confidence he showed early as Cam Newton's fill-in has been exchanged for tentative and rattled passing ever since this became an audition for a full-time gig in 2020. The irony is, Allen is starting to now prove he's not the answer.
NFL PLAYOFF PICTURE: Updated AFC, NFC standings for Week 12
26. Jeff Driskel, Lions (30)
Driskel isn't very accurate and tends to take off and run a lot instead of hanging in there and extending to make pass plays. But he's kept Detroit's offense viable as best as he can with his physical skills given he's a big dropoff from Matthew Stafford, who was arguably enjoying his career-best season.
27. Mason Rudolph, Steelers (26)
Rudolph was the fourth QB to have an interception meltdown in Week 12. Part of the problem is the Steelers don't trust him to push the ball downfield, and now there are morerunning game issues and a key wide receiver injury to JuJu Smith-Schuster.
28. Ryan Fitzpatrick, Dolphins (27)
Fitzpatrick's intangibles and toughness have meshed with the mentality of coach Brian Flores to turn the Dolphins from a joke to semi-respectable given their depleted talent. But the running game and defense aren't good enough to overcome any real shakiness from him.
29. Brandon Allen, Broncos (30)
Allen gave the team some good fight in the near-upset againstthe Vikings, but his physical talent limitations are pretty evident. Expect to see rookie second-rounder Drew Lock get a shot soon so Denver knows how much it needs to think about draftinganother QB, this time in the first round.
30. Mitchell Trubisky, Bears (29)
The end of the Rams' game, when he sat out with a hip injury, has created only more mystery about Trubisky and how much Matt Nagy really wants to be attached to his third-year quarterback. Trubisky must finish the season strong in better matchups to regain his coach's confidence (and his own), and the Giants and Lions back-to-back qualify.
31. Dwayne Haskins, Redskins (31)
Haskins playedbetter against the Jets with the added benefit of being at home after a bye. Washington was slow on fully supporting himas a first-round pick, but perhaps some accelerated development will make the organization feel better about his franchise status for 2020.
32. Ryan Finley, Bengals (32)
The rookie is pretty much just handing off to Joe Mixon because he's been shaky throwing the ball with major receiver limitations. The fact that Cincinnati isn'ttrying to give him a real auditionindicates it is headed toward taking atruefranchise QB at the top of the 2020 draft.

So, today I was working on a WPF project where I had a background working thread, and I had to update the progress value of the progressbar according to the progress of the work being done in the thread.
Now, when we created a background worker thread in Windows Forms, we needed to invoke the UI thread to update it:
//Updating a label
private delegate void UpdateUI(string Text)
protected void UpdateLabel(string text)
{
if(this.InvokeRequired)
{
UpdateUI UpdateLabel = new UpdateUI(this.UpdateLabel);
object[] Args=new object[1]("UpdatedText");
this.Invoke(UpdateLabel , Args);
}
else
this.Label.Text=text;
}
But I couldn't find how to implement this in WPF as this wont work in WPF.
After looking at a few pages here and there, i finally found a workaround:
this.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() =>{
Label1.Text = "Updated Text";
}));
Just call Dispatcher.Invoke(delegate Method,params object[] args), and pass a delegate (or a lambda expression casted to type 'action' ), and update the UI element inside.
Happy Coding.
