For this showstopper challenge, Jo used icing pens to create the face of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, but you can decorate it how you like.
Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Butter a 20cm/8in deep cake tin and line with baking parchment.
For the chocolate sponge cake, combine all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and cream together with a handheld electric mixer.
Spoon the batter into the prepared cake tin and smooth the top with a palette knife.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool in the tin for ten minutes. Then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the chocolate buttercream, beat the butter and melted chocolate with a handheld electric mixer and gradually mix in the sifted icing sugar.
When the cake is cool, place on a board or cake turntable and cut the cake horizontally into three equal layers.
Place one layer of chocolate cake onto the serving plate. Spread half the jam on the cake followed by one-third of the whipped cream. Top with the middle cake layer and repeat with the remaining jam and another one-third of the cream. Place the final cake layer on top.
Spoon the chocolate buttercream onto the top of cake and spread to the edges.
Decorate with cherries, blueberries, shaved chocolate and whipped cream.

It’s important to use attribution online. When you pull a picture, make sure you tell other people where it’s from. Some sites make it easy for you to do that, others…not so much. Flickr used to be great at making attribution easy, but their latest redesigns have made it harder to accomplish. Alan Levine has a great CC attribution gizmo which makes it super easy to both give credit to and share a photo from Flickr. I use it all. the. time.
WordPress is great – I use it for this blog and my class websites. I even ran my own multi-site for my students one year using WordPress because my administrators at the time didn’t want blogs out in the wild. So, I did it for them. Anyways, WordPress doesn’t have the best method for featured images. You can’t use an image source URL to share it…you need to download the image and then reupload it to your site. It’s really easy to “forget” to post attribution.
I’ve been playing with another open source CMS called Anchor. It’s very bare bones right now, but it’s super flexible in terms of what you can do. Because I didn’t have enough going on (read sarcasm there…) I decided I wanted to create my own custom theme for an Anchor blog. I’ve got a demo site up right now (which will be changing soon…updates are coming!) and one thing I had to include was featured images from a URL.
The next step was to get attribution in there…not just a link back, but an actual box of text with the post title at the very least. Flickr has a powerful set of APIs which can be used to get all sorts of data which you can then bend to your will.
For those too wary for code, here’s the tl;dr – this new blog theme in Anchor will automagically attribute featured images you include. All Flickr images are coming soon.
The problem – In order to use the Flickr API, you need – at the very least – a photo ID. Because I’m attaching the photo using CSS, I have the source URL of the image. Here’s an example:
I needed a way to get that snippet of the URL into the API call. Unfortunately, there is no one step that can do this. So, I went and gave myself a crash course in regular expression to get that information into a usable form.
Of course, there’s another issue in my way. The CSS holding the URL for the image has characters in the syntax which I can’t use:
The solution: use another regular expression snippet to pull it out.
If you’re following along, if you put console.log(bg)
into your editor, it’ll return a clean URL.
Now that we have the URL, it’s time to extract the photo ID only because that can be used in the Flickr API to build the attribution URL.
Like I said earlier, I gave myself a very crash course in regular expression, so this very…very ugly expression1 strips everything except for the photo ID and stores it in a variable for later.
OK, we got the URL, then we got the photo ID. Now, it’s time to build the URL to request information from Flickr about this picture.
This is the URL that we use in the final step of the process to get information from Flickr and then build one more URL, which becomes the attribution link.
This last asks for JSON information from Flickr and then we use jQuery to apply it to a div
created in the HTML to hold the information. Flickr URLs all have the same structure, so building a link back to the owner’s page is easy. I just pulled out their user ID number and reattached the photo ID we grabbed earlier.
If you want to play with it yourself – changing the photo and everything – you can do that in this CodePen demo I set up during testing.
This is a lot of work to automate the link backwards, but hopefully, it’ll make it easier to add attribution back with every picture, not just ones you remember to grab information for. Again, this only work with Flickr at the moment, and only for featured images at that. I’m planning on expanding this to any image in a post pulled from Flickr as soon as I have time. Or, you could do it. Just share it back when you do.

There are two preprocessing steps one may perform on a matrix A in order to make its eigenproblem easier. The first is permutation, or reordering the rows and columns to make A more nearly upper triangular (closer to Schur form): A' = PAPT, where P is a permutation matrix. If A' is permutable to upper triangular form (or close to it), then no floating-point operations (or very few) are needed to reduce it to Schur form. The second is scaling by a diagonal matrix D to make the rows and columns of A' more nearly equal in norm: A''= DA'D-1. Scaling can make the matrix norm smaller with respect to the eigenvalues, and so possibly reduce the inaccuracy contributed by roundoff [106, Chap. II/11]. We refer to these two operations as balancing.
Balancing is performed by driver xGEEVX, which calls computational routine xGEBAL. The user may tell xGEEVX to optionally permute, scale, do both, or do neither; this is specified by input parameter BALANC. Permuting has no effect on the condition numbers or their interpretation as described in previous subsections. Scaling, however, does change their interpretation, as we now describe.
The output parameters of xGEEVX -- SCALE (real array of length N), ILO (integer), IHI (integer) and ABNRM (real) -- describe the result of balancing a matrix A into A'', where N is the dimension of A. The matrix A'' is block upper triangular, with at most three blocks: from 1 to ILO-1, from ILO to IHI, and from IHI+1 to N. The first and last blocks are upper triangular, and so already in Schur form. These are not scaled; only the block from ILO to IHI is scaled. Details of the scaling and permutation are described in SCALE (see the specification of xGEEVX or xGEBAL for details). The one-norm of A'' is returned in ABNRM.
The condition numbers
described in earlier subsections are computed for
the balanced matrix A'', and so some interpretation is needed to
apply them to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the original matrix A.
To use the bounds for eigenvalues in Tables 4.5 and
4.6,
we must replace |E|2 and |E|F
by
.
To use the
bounds for eigenvectors, we also need to take into account that bounds
on rotations of eigenvectors are for the eigenvectors x'' of
A'', which are related to the eigenvectors x of A by
DPx=x'', or
x=PT D-1x''. One coarse but simple way to do this is
as follows: let
be the bound on rotations of x'' from
Table 4.5 or Table 4.6
and let
be the desired bound on rotation of x. Let
The numerical example in subsection 4.8 does no scaling, just permutation.

Pamolive aroma sensual body wash is a pretty looking bottle, which will definitely draw your attention. The color of the shower gel is very enticing and more enticing are the claims made by the shower gel. I have earlier used the Palmolive Thermal Spa Skin Renewal Crushed Coconut and Jojoba Butter Extracts Shower cream which is highly recommended, its really good for the price tag.
Price: Rs. 125 for 250ml
If the Palmolive Thermal Spa reminded me of Pinacolada(my favorite drink), this one did remind me of wine.. although I have never come across such light color wine. The color of the shower gel and the claims on the packaging build up an expectation that the shower gel will be really aromatic and give that spa like experience. So let me add here that please do have any expectation of any sort. The fragrance in the bottle reminds me of cranberry juice, but in shower it turns a bit preserved rose like.
The foam and lather are no doubt quite aromatic. But the aroma does not transfer onto the skin, neither does it linger in the washroom for sometime which is quite disappointing. Does not dry out the skin, but Is still prefer a moisturizer after the shower.
Do I recommend this... hmmm let me see. If you are expecting an aromatic spa like experience then NO, but if you looking for a decent shower gel in budget which does not dry your skin then you can give this a try.
Do you like Rose fragrance in your shower gel ?

Since [RFC 2070], [ISO 10646]/[Unicode] (hereafter denoted as UCS, Universal Character Set) has served as a common reference for character encoding in W3C specifications (see [HTML 4.0], [XML 1.0], and [CSS2]). This choice was motivated by the fact that the UCS:
As long as data transfer on the WWW was primarily unidirectional (from server to browser), and the main purpose was rendering, the direct use of the UCS as a common reference posed no problems.
However, from early on, the WWW included bidirectional data transfer (forms,...). Recently, purposes other than rendering are becoming more and more important. The WWW has traditionally been seen as a collection of applications exchanging data based on protocols. It can however also be seen as a single, very large application [Nicol]. The second view is becoming more and more important due to the following developments:
In this context, some properties of the UCS become relevant and have to be addressed. It should be noted that such properties also exist in legacy encodings, and in many cases have been inherited by the UCS in one way or another from such legacy encodings. In particular, these properties are:
This means that in order to ensure consistent behavior on the WWW, some additional specifications, based on the UCS, are necessary.
This document is written as part of the work of the I18N WG to provide internationalization guidelines for the authors of W3C specifications. Because of the importance of consistent behavior for the WWW, it should be expected that the resulting guideline components will become mandatory for W3C specifications.
The specifications that will be developed based on this document have a very wide range of potential users, which are listed below in three categories. For some of the users listed here, a short description of what they do and how the requirements described in this document are thought to apply to them is given in the Appendix. A need for specifications in the areas addressed by this document has directly been expressed, in particular at the Query Language Meeting in April 1998 in Brisbane (see the W3C member-only link to the meeting report), by the following W3C Working Groups or specifications:
Within the W3C, it may in addition be useful for:
Outside of the W3C, it may in addition be useful for things such as:
The following sections 2-4 each discuss the requirements for a particular aspect of the WWW character model. Each section in its first subsection briefly describes the problem addressed. The following subsections then discuss the various requirements. Section 2 is devoted to the requirements for string identity matching. Section 3 expands on string identity matching and discusses subrequirements for early uniform normalization, one way to address string identity matching. Section 4 discusses the requirements for string indexing. An appendix gives additional information about some of the users of the specification resulting from this document. A glossary gives additional explanations for some of the terms used in this document.
This document addresses only those parts of the character model that need exact specification and are extremely time-critical. To see exactly which parts are addressed, please see the first subsection of each of the following sections. A more general model, e.g. in the sense of the reference processing model in [RFC 2070], and general guidelines, e.g. similar to those in [RFC 2130] and [RFC 2277] for the work of the IETF, are not discussed here. Nevertheless, something like the reference processing model in [RFC 2070], which requires applications to behave as if they used the UCS, is assumed as a base.
For each problem, this document lists various requirements. Ideally, all requirements would be met equally well, and the degree to which they are being met could be measured equally well. However, some of the requirements take the form of more general design objectives, for which it is difficult to measure the degree to which they have been met. Also, some requirements conflict with each other. Where such conflicts are known, the conflict and a preference (i.e. which requirement has greater weight) is indicated.
String identity matching is a subset of the more general problem of string matching. String matching in general can be done with various degrees of specificity, from very approximate matching such as e.g. regular expressions or phonetic matching for English, to more specific matches such as case-insensitive or accent-insensitive matching. This document deals only with string identity matching. Two strings match as identical if they contain no user-identifiable distinctions. For more details on the meaning of user-identifiable distinctions, see the following explanations as well as subsection 2.3 and subsection 2.4. Any kind of less specific matching is not discussed in this document.
At various places in the WWW infrastructure, strings, and in particular identifiers, are compared for identity. If different places use different definitions of string identity matching, this results in undesired unpredictability. Such comparisons are unproblematic if the expectations of the users and the results of a simple binary comparison coincide, or can be made to coincide. For ASCII, such a coincidence is established and assumed, including some degree of user education, e.g. about the differences between the digit 0 and the uppercase letter O. For the full repertoire of the UCS, however, the aforementioned coincidence between user expectations and binary comparisons is not a priori guaranteed.
In order to ensure consistent behavior on the WWW, a character model for W3C specifications must make sure that the gap between user expectations and internal operation is bridged. A character model for W3C specifications must therefore specify how the problem of string identity matching is handled. The requirements for such a specification are listed in the following subsections. Please note that with the exception of subsection 2.7 and subsection 2.8, the following subsections assume the character processing model of [RFC 2070], i.e. they assume that applications behave as if they used the UCS internally. The section ends with subsection 2.10, which lays out some alternatives and motivates section 3.
In order to fulfill its purpose, a specification of string identity matching must not contain any ambiguities.
While in some cases, the addition of version numbers might help to make the specification unambiguous, carrying version numbers as parameters is in many cases highly undesirable and should therefore be avoided.
Typical examples where a gap between user expectations and internal operation can occur in the UCS are the duplicate encodings defined as canonical equivalences in [Unicode]. As an example, the UCS allows us to encode "ü" both as a single codepoint (U+00FC, LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS), or as the codepoint for "u" (U+0075, LATIN SMALL LETTER U) followed by the codepoint U+0308 (COMBINING DIAERESIS). Such equivalences are artifacts of the encoding method(s) chosen for the UCS.
It is expected that the canonical equivalences specified in the Unicode
standard will be an excellent starting point for defining the range of things
to be identified as duplicate encodings. This will make sure that the
experience of the Unicode Technical Committee with respect to character
equivalences is fully leveraged. Whether any changes are necessary will have
to be examined more closely. If such changes consist only of additions of
equivalences, implementations of W3C specifications would collectively conform
to conformance clause C9 given in [Unicode, p. 3-2]: A process shall not assume that the interpretations of two
canonical-equivalent character sequences are distinct.
Additions may
include some presentation forms.
Another category where encoding differences are invisible to the user are the various control codes. W3C standards mostly deal with structured text (as opposed to plain text). It should therefore in most cases be possible to rely on explicit markup rather than on in-stream control codes.
String identity matching shall not treat as equivalent cases that can clearly be distinguished by a user because the difference may be significant in many cases. Examples are:
These differences can be handled by the (mainly native) users of the characters in question, and can at least be identified by users not familiar with the characters in question. Such similarities are explicitly not considered for string identity matching, because they do not need a coordinated solution for the entirety of the WWW.
Various forms of equivalence testing are needed for operations such as searching and sorting. But such operations will not be based on string identity matching. Also, it is felt that such operations do not need to behave uniformly across the web; that on the contrary, it is beneficial to have competition (e.g. for search engines and their user interfaces), that this has already been taken care of elsewhere (e.g. the work of ISO and Unicode on default and tailorable sorting), and that the requirements of language-dependence and user-configurability are stronger than the needs for consistent behavior.
It is impossible to predict what characters might be added to the UCS in the future. String identity matching should be specified so as to try to minimize the impact of future additions to the UCS on the specification and its implementations.
One category of additions that warrants particular attention, both because it has occurred relatively frequently in the past and because it affects string identity matching directly, is the addition of new precomposed forms for which decomposed equivalents are already available.
Because of the increased integration of the WWW, selecting different ways to solve the string identity matching problem for different components of the WWW would produce a fragmentation of users' and implementers' expectations, and the need for constant attention to minute differences that are rarely visible. Applicability to a broad range of W3C specifications and the widest number of components of the WWW means that a solution has to be feasible for all kinds of different systems, and different subsystems of larger applications, with different resources available. This in particular includes very small systems, and systems that do not have continuous network access.
Many components of the WWW have to work with data without access to the actual characters. This includes all kinds of schemes that make use of encryption techniques as well as schemes where the character encoding is in general left undefined, such as URIs [URI]. For things such as URIs, it should be possible to test two strings for identity even if their character encoding is unknown, given of course that in both cases the same character encoding has been chosen. Also, it should be possible to test two strings for identity if the actual data cannot be accessed directly because it is encrypted. Even in cases where the character encoding is known, and the data is accessible, treating data as opaque is often desirable, because an identity check might occur in an architectural component that has (or the implementers of which have) completely different concerns than internationalization. Examples of such components are firewalls and passwords.
be conservative in what you send
An often cited maxim of Internet engineering is be liberal in what you
accept; be conservative in what you send
. The use of the appropriate kind
of equivalence at the receiving end easily allows you to be liberal in what
you accept
. However, without any kind of indication of the preferred way of encoding or the preferred character variant, there
is no way to be conservative in what you send
. This means that
potential benefits cannot be realized.
Several upcoming W3C specifications depend on a clear and uniform specification for string identity matching. Therefore, no time should be lost in preparing the string identity matching specification.
For a specification for string identity matching, the following issues have to be addressed:
The arguments for why early normalization may be needed, even if only in some cases, can be listed as follows:
be conservative in what you send
It therefore seems appropriate to address the requirements of early normalization in particular. This is done in the next section.
As discussed in subsection 2.10, there is a high probability that early normalization may become necessary, even if only for some selected cases. Early normalization means that data is normalized as close to its origin, or as close to its conversion to the UCS, as possible. This eliminates duplicate representations and other ambiguities. The actual string identity check can therefore be done without taking such ambiguities into account. In order for this to work, however, early normalization has to be uniform, i.e. all components of the WWW that normalize have to do so in one specific way.
In order for W3C specifications to attribute the responsibility for early uniform normalization to specific components, guidelines on where early uniform normalization should occur must be provided. Ideally, uniform normalization would occur at the time of data creation, e.g. by a keyboard driver. However, W3C specifications do not deal directly with things such as keyboard drivers. This means that more appropriate locations for requiring early uniform normalization have to be defined. As an example, it could be required that text transmitted via certain protocols, or text exposed in certain APIs, is normalized.
It should be noted that text is transmitted on the WWW in many encodings not based on the UCS. In these cases, uniform normalization ideally occurs when data is transcoded (or assumed to be transcoded according to the reference processing model of [RFC 2070]) from legacy encodings (such as [ISO 8859] or [ISO 6937]) to the UCS.
Ideally, early uniform normalization will spread out from the WWW to other parts of the information infrastructure. For example, early uniform normalization may only be specified for text actually sent out by a server, but the task of normalization may be transferred from the server to the document provider, and from there further to the editor tool and even to the keyboard driver. Such a transfer is indeed highly desirable in many cases, because to avoid generating unnormalized data is in many cases easier than to normalize such data later.
A wide range of text on the WWW will have to be normalized. This is easier to do if uniform normalization occurs towards the more popular representation than if a not so widely used representation is used as the normal form. It may also provide a bit more time, in that we are just defining what might happen naturally anyway instead of having to fight uphill from day one. Existing standards (such as the canonical ordering behavior for combining characters [Unicode, page 3-9]) should also be considered.
The views of experts on character coding, especially of members of the Unicode Technical Committee and of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 should be sought, with the goal of achieving a broad consensus. This requirement cannot, however, take precedence over all other requirements, especially Requirement 2.9, "The string identity matching specification shall be prepared quickly".
Where choices are available, early uniform normalization should be specified in a way which permits easy and compact implementations. It should however be remembered that the main benefit in terms of implementation simplification is achieved due to the concept of early uniform normalization itself, by relieving a large part of the WWW infrastructure of the need to consider equivalences when making comparisons, and by locating normalization at those places in the WWW architecture where most information on actually occurring codepoint combinations and most internationalization implementation expertise and concern are available.
To help in developing, understanding, implementing, and testing early uniform normalization, reference software shall be developed and provided to the public under W3C copyright. This software will cover all cases, whereas at a given point in the infrastructure (e.g. a transcoder or a keyboard driver), only some cases may have to be taken into account.
To help in developing, understanding, implementing, and testing early uniform normalization, test cases shall be developed and provided to the public under W3C copyright.
On many occasions, in order to access a substring or a character, it is
necessary to index characters in a string/sequence/array of characters. Where
character indices are exchanged between components of the WWW, there is a need
for a uniform definition of string indexing in order to ensure consistent
behavior. In the simplest cases, this boils down to questions such as At
which position in a given string is a given character?
, Which character
is at a given position in a given string?
, and even simpler, What's the
length of a given string?
.
Note: In many cases, it is highly preferable to use non-numeric ways of identifying substrings. The specification of string indexing for the WWW should not be seen as a general recommendation for the use of string indexing for substring identification. As an example, in the case of translation of a document from one language to another, identification of substrings based on document structure can be expected to be much more stable than identification based on string indexing.
Note: Because of the wide variability of scripts and characters, different operations may be required to work at different levels of aggregation or subdivision. String indexing as discussed in this section is only intended to provide a base for such operations; it cannot address all levels concurrently.
The issue of indexing origin, i.e. whether the first character in a string is indexed as character number 0 or as character number 1, will not be addressed here.
This is the basic functional requirement for indexing. It means that the specification has to be without options.
The basic consistency test is the following:
The requirement is fulfilled if the test is successful for all strings of characters and all combinations of systems.
Tools and programs are supposed to hide most of the indexing values from
the end users. However, the fact that direct editing/manipulation was possible
was one of the (unexpected) reasons for the success of the WWW. Also, in the
complex infrastructure of the WWW, it is impossible to define a clear and
strict boundary between what is manipulated by programs and what is seen and
manipulated by the users. Therefore, it is highly desirable that something
seen as one single character by the user is indeed counted as one character.
However, there may be cases where for the same characters, there are
differences in the perceptions of users using various languages, or even of
users using one and the same language. In this case, an ideal solution is not
possible. Preference should be given to a solution which, although not
corresponding to user expectations, can be understood by as many users as
possible (e.g. treat each character in the Klingon alphabet as occupying
two index positions
).
This requirement may be in conflict with requirement 4.6 (because user expectations and actual encoding might be different). Because neither requirement is absolute, no indication of relative priorities has been given here.
Because of the variability of what a "character" can mean in different scripts and to different people (for the same script), string indexing should permit the designation of characters at various levels of resolution appropriate for the task at hand. This can in principle be achieved by indexing on the finest granularity possible, or by indexing of subelements. Although subelement indexing might not be defined in the first version of the character model, and might not be implemented everywhere, the necessary precautions for syntax extensibility and fallbacks should be taken care of and defined up-front wherever applicable.
It is impossible to predict what characters might be added to the UCS in the future. String indexing should be specified so as to try to minimize the impact of future additions to the UCS on the specification and its implementations.
One category of additions that warrants particular attention, both because it has occurred relatively frequently in the past and because it may affect string indexing directly, is the addition of new precomposed forms for which decomposed equivalents are already available.
Indexing into a string of characters is a very frequent operation. Ease of implementation is therefore crucial. If string indexing is based on early uniform normalization, then this may help to make implementation easier.
Several upcoming W3C specifications depend on a clear character model and in particular on clear definitions for string indexing. It is therefore crucial that no time is lost.
This appendix gives some additional details about users of the specification that will result from the requirements in this document. This is intended to give some very short background to readers not familiar with some of the work of the W3C, as well as to make sure that the requirements of these groups are well understood.
Note: The specifications discussed below are still in progress. The summaries are based on the current state, as publicly known. Changes may occur at any time.
This glossary does not provide exact definitions of terms but gives some background on how certain words are used in this document.

I suspect that, given the Concorde's rather unusual fuel consumption figures, the most efficient climb profile was also the fastest one, since pretty much anything other than the M2.0 cruise-climb was fairly inefficient. From way back in the thread (
here
) the minimum time to hit M1.0 was about six minutes, and M2.0 came at 9 minutes (although a few posts later someone mentions that these figures may be wrong as the fuel transfer rate wouldn't allow such a fast climb).
Some questions from me, after reading through the thread: - Someone mentioned that, as a result of Concorde's sustained supercruising across the Atlantic, the twenty-odd Concordes have more supersonic flight hours than all other aircraft combined. Does anyone know what the figures are? - What was the minimum range for supersonic travel to be worthwhile? Obviously if you were only going a few hundred kilometres it'd make more sense to cruise at 29000ft an M0.95 rather than climbing all the way up to 40000ft+ and M2.0. - What other aircraft are/were more efficient supersonic than subsonic? The modern supercruising fighter jets (eg. the F-22) are still more efficient at subsonic speeds. The original Tu-144 would certainly have been much more efficient subsonic (since it couldn't supercruise); I'm not sure about the later models. The SR-71 was more efficient at high supersonic speeds than at low supersonic speeds, but I can't find anything about subsonic fuel consumption. And that leaves the XB-70, which is just a big unknown. Last edited by Slatye; 5th Mar 2013 at 10:50 . |

Getting somewhat closer to the topic - does anyone know what the Tu-144 used for computing? The NASA report on the Tu-144LL says that they had a digital controls for the engines, but since those were new engines the control system was probably a good deal more modern than the original. I can't see any mention of how the intakes were controlled, or what the original engines used.
And really on-topic, was there any work done towards updating this for Concorde-B? Or did they never get that far? Or was the plan to just keep using exactly the same stuff, since it was already working so well? |

Most people are familiar with the space race between the US and the Soviets, but there was a very interesting race between the US, Europe and the Soviet Union to build a supersonic passenger aircraft. Europe built the successful Concorde, the US had the unsuccessful Boeing SST, and the Soviets had the unsuccessful Tu-144.
Somewhere there is a taped phone conversation of President Kennedy raising heck with someone over the fact that the US does not have a supersonic passenger aircraft program to compete with Concorde. |


Steady-State Distribution of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process¶
Expected Read Time: 4~7 minutes
In this tutorial, we will solve for the distribution of resulting from the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Process
in 2-dimension. From an explicit calculation, one can get that the steady-state is given by
Since the actual program itself is not long, we will carry everything. First, we define the parameters of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
>> n_dim = 2;
>> n_points = 20;
>> int_sig = 0.1;
>> make_plots = true;
>> mu = 0.495.*ones(1, n_dim);
>> theta = 1.*ones(n_dim,1);
>> sigma = int_sig.^2.*ones(n_dim, 1);
Hence, we have
To implement this example, we initialize the afv_grid
object.
>> grid = afv_grid(2);
First, we will split the grid uniformly into 20 grid points using split_init
. This function only allows tensor structure division of the grid (regular grid), and the splitting cut points are given as cells of vectors of dimension.
>> cut_points = cell(n_dim, 1);
>> cut_points_1d = linspace(0, 1, n_points+1);
>> cut_points_1d = cut_points_1d(2:end-1)';
>> for iter_dim = 1:n_dim
>> cut_points{iter_dim} = cut_points_1d;
>> end
>> grid.split_init(1, cut_points);
At this points, [0,1]x[0,1] has been split into 400 grid points (20 per dimension). We can visualize this by making a scatter plot of center of the cells. One can compute the center of the cells via node_midpoints
.
>> x_i = grid.node_midpoints();
>> scatter(x_i(:,1), x_i(:,2));
At this point, the grid only has the information on the cells. It keeps the neighbor structure of the cells updated, but not the edges. The edge information can be updated via extract_edges
. Whenever the grid structure changes, extract_edges
needs to be called to make sure that the edge structure is consistent with the updated grid.
>> grid.extract_edges();
We can visualize edges by making a scatter plot of their midpoints (using edge_midpoints
) as well
>> hold on;
>> x_i = grid.edge_midpoints();
>> scatter(x_i(:,1), x_i(:,2), 'r.');
Now, we are ready to implement the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The equation is completely defined with drifts and diffusion terms corresponding to the edges. The data for edges are stored as a vector. However, the drift values needs to be different depending on which direction the edge faces. The normal direction of the edge are stored as e2dir
. Hence, the drift terms can be implemented with
>> x_i = grid.edge_midpoints();
>> for iter_dim = 1:n_dim
>> cur_ind = find(grid.e2dir(1:grid.num_e) == iter_dim);
>> grid.drift(cur_ind) = -theta(iter_dim).*(x_i(cur_ind, iter_dim) - mu(iter_dim));
>> end
For example, with iter_dim = 1
, the drift value of the edges facing the first coordinate directions are updated. This is why \(x_1\) ( = x_i(cur_ind, iter_dim)
) is used to compute the drift.
Diffusions can be implemented in a similar manner:
>> for iter_dim = 1:n_dim
>> cur_ind = find(grid.e2dir(1:grid.num_e) == iter_dim);
>> grid.diffusion(cur_ind) = sigma(iter_dim);
>> end
Note that the value that’s defined for diffusion is \(\sigma^2_i\), without the factor \(\frac{1}{2}\). As the fraction \(\frac{1}{2}\) shows up in all equations, it is taken as implicit when the transition matrix is built.
Now, once we have set the drift and diffusion terms to the edges, we can build the transition matrix using compute_transition_matrix_modified
.
>> A = grid.compute_transition_matrix_modified();
For the steady-state, we find a solution to \(Ag = 0\). Hence, we can use any eigenvalue solver to do so.
>> [g, ~] = eigs(A_FP, 1, 'sm');
>> g = g./sum(g);
Finally, we can make a plot to see the accuracy of the scheme
>> x_i = grid.node_midpoints();
>> scatter3(x_i(:,1),x_i(:,2),g./grid.node_weights);
>> hold on;
>> scatter3(x_i(:,1),x_i(:,2),g_true(x_i),'.');
For this particular set of parameters, the grid is not good enough to approximate with high accuracy. One can see that this is largely due to picking wrong domain for the parameter values. This will be fixed by adjusting domain or using adaptive refinements. The adaptive refinements will be shown in the next tutorial, but in the mean time, let’s solve a problem with nicer parameters.
Updating to a new parameters highlights one nice feature of the finite volume discretization. With the finite volume method, the structure of the transition matrix is independent of the parameter values, so only the drift and diffusion have to be updated to reflect the new parameters.
To implement these parameters, we can just update the drifts and diffusion
>> int_sig = 0.2;
>> make_plots = true;
>> mu = 0.35.*ones(1, n_dim);
>> theta = 1.*ones(n_dim,1);
>> sigma = int_sig.^2.*ones(n_dim, 1);
>> x_i = grid.edge_midpoints();
>> for iter_dim = 1:n_dim
>> cur_ind = find(grid.e2dir(1:grid.num_e) == iter_dim);
>> grid.drift(cur_ind) = -theta(iter_dim).*(x_i(cur_ind, iter_dim) - mu(iter_dim));
>> grid.diffusion(cur_ind) = sigma(iter_dim);
>> end
and compute the transition matrix and the steady-state distribution
>> A = grid.compute_transition_matrix_modified();
>> [g, ~] = eigs(A_FP, 1, 'sm');
>> g = g./sum(g);
To conclude, one can implement the finite volume method follow a simple recipe. One just needs to call
- Initialize grid
afv_grid
- Split the grid
split_init
- Extract Edges
extract_edges
- Define drifts and diffusion
- Build transition matrix
compute_transition_matrix_modified
Technical Disclaimer: In the tutorial there was no mention of the boundary conditions. Implicitly it is being assumed that the boundary is a reflecting boundary. Hence, if \(\sigma_i\)‘s are too large, the exact solution is not the exact solution to the PDE being solved by the finite-volume method. Allowing “flows” at the boundaries will be considered later (compute_transition_matrix_boundary
.)


Living in the Information Age where a person can learn about any subject they desire with a simple internet search means they can be highly informed before choosing a meditative practice, but it also means there are thousands of arts to choose from. Picking just one to dedicate your time to can seem confusing, so this article will cover why Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung is a particularly excellent art for personal development in modern times.
Please note that one article cannot cover every single reason why Cosmos Chi Kung is an excellent practice, but the most predominant reasons are covered here.
One of the main obstacles that people talk about in terms of maintaining a consistent, daily practice of a meditative art is their lack of time. Taking one to two hours out of their busy schedule to dedicate to an art like chi kung, yoga, tai chi, meditation, etc. seems unrealistic to many people, and perhaps it is. The beauty of Cosmos Chi Kung is that, compared to many other arts, it requires very little time to complete one full practice session. In general, the recommended time for one session of Cosmos Chi Kung is 10-20 minutes. This might seem too short to a lot of people, but the truth is that, because this style of chi kung is so efficient and effective, 10-20 minutes is plenty.
This is an art that has been passed down and fine-tuned by masters for centuries, so what we are practicing today is a very refined, effective and efficient art. Anything unnecessary has been filtered out, leaving only the most important aspects of the art in place. So, we can now practice a style of chi kung that meets our needs quickly. How quickly? 10-20 minutes a day. To be fair, the ideal amount of Cosmos Chi Kung is to practice once in the morning and once in the evening, each session lasting 10-20 minutes, but practicing just once a day will still bring great benefits.
Part of what makes Cosmos Chi Kung so effective is that the practice is not divided up into different practices, with one practice focusing on the physical body, another focusing on energy, and another focusing on developing the mind. We develop every level in each session of chi kung. Not every practice session will work on each level equally, but each level will be developed.
Cosmos Chi Kung is not restricted to people of a certain class, country or religion. It is able to be practiced by people of any religion, ethnicity, gender or any other other label. There are no dietary restrictions, no special clothes are needed and you need not seek out a special temple for your practice. The main requirement is a willingness to practice once a day, following the instructions of your teacher.
To competently learn a genuine internal art, such as Cosmos Chi Kung, it's necessary to learn it directly from a qualified teacher. But, once you have adequately learned how to practice chi kung, you can continue your independent practice every day for the rest of your life. It's highly recommended to maintain contact with your teacher for guidance as necessary, but it's not required to continue attending courses. So, if you attend an intensive course where you learn Cosmos Chi Kung over two days, you're set! In those two days you receive the essence of a practice that will continue to blossom as you carry on your personal practice.
And, finally, perhaps the most important point: it is a great joy to practice Shaolin Cosmos Chi Kung! Not only is the actual practice very enjoyable, but practitioners commonly report that their overall quality of life improves after starting their practice.  It didn’t take long for chi kung to become an indispensable part of my life, and I sincerely hope you will take the time to enjoy this precious art as well.

Your Job Is So Easy a Computer Can Do It.
By: Mike Cammarato on November 12, 2014
Tagged: Educate General
It's a hot topic up for debate, are grocery stores justified in installing self-check out systems? Do pharmacies have the right to eliminate your pharmacist in favor of a robot arm? What about Google's self-driving cars in place of taxi cab drivers?
Needless to say there's no right or wrong answer, but there are a few things to consider before jumping to a conclusion. Let's look at a self-checkout system at a grocery store.
Unless you live under a rock you have probably used a self-check out system at your local grocery store, chances are you had to run in for a few things and didn't feel like waiting in line behind the people who's carts were stacked sky high. Often times grocery stores are only running a few of their many checkout lines so you opt for a self-check out. My experiences have been mostly positive, I scan my items, pay, and am walking out much faster than I would have if I waited in line. It almost seems too good to be true, customers are happy and your checkout process is more efficient, but let's take a closer look.
It turns out the self-check out systems, aren't a exactly win-win for owners. One of the major issues with these systems is theft. According to a recent survey from the U.K., Retail Wire reports, "approximately 19 percent of shoppers admit to stealing from self-checkouts with the majority of those claiming they did so regularly. Around 57% of those indicated they first started stealing at self-checkouts because they couldn't get the items to scan." via Self-checkout theft is habit forming.
Can we blame people for bagging items that wouldn't scan? That's another discussion entirely, but while the self-checkouts are faster, they're not necessarily more efficient if they allow theft. On the surface self-checkouts seemed like a no brainier, but after looking a little bit closer we can see just how valuable a human is as opposed to a computer in the grocery line.
The truth is that a lot of these technologies are not developed enough to be put into mainstream use without a human controlling or managing them. Pharmacies are toying with the idea of an automated pharmacist, but there's no technology even close to replacing a human.  The best automation is the kind that assists humans in doing their job.
One of the things we strive for as an integrator is not sacrificing humans for a more efficient process. This doesn't work out in the long run, we believe machines should be doing the jobs that people wish machines could have done years ago and help a company meet demand. For example, a bottling line machine that produces 500 bottles per minute as opposed multiple people trying to bottle enough beer to meet demand is a great thing. Allowing companies to have the technology they need to grow, expand, and hire more people to run the machines is what automation and integration is all about.
At the end of the day we aren't at the technological level of robots independently running society and we're sure nowhere near Terminator or the Matrix, as much as I would love rebelling against the robot empire. For now you can put away your tin-foil hats and grab a programing book, because one thing I know for sure is that computer automation isn't going anywhere so why not be ahead of the curve?

The Side Inset layout is a page pattern which provides an animated side panel for presenting additional information. The side panel is hidden or shown using the toggle button. The side panel is inset in the page and not overlaid, so the width of the main content area will be reduced to make space for the side panel.
To use the Side Inset layout, structure your page as follows:
- A wrapper
div
following the page heading, with theside-inset
attribute directive set.- A
div
containing the main page content, which needs to have themain-content
class. - A
div
containing the side panel, which needs to have theside-inset
class.
- A
The order of the child elements will determine the position of the side panel - if the side-inset
div
is declared in the HTML before the main-content
, then the side panel will display on the left
of the screen. To place the side panel on the right of the screen, declare it after the main-content
in the HTML.
On the wrapper element where the side-inset
directive is declared, the following additional properties
can be configured:
| Name | Type | Binding | Description | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| side-inset-width | number | literal | A value between 0 and 100, this is the percentage width of the parent element the expanded side inset panel will occupy (Default: 20). | true |
| side-inset-button-top | string | literal | A string that will be set as the top CSS position property of the toggle button, allowing
its vertical placement to be configured (Default: '0px'). |

First let's create a membership table.
create table membership (
id integer,
type varchar,
constraint pk_id primary key (id));
Then a customer table referencing the accounts. In this scenario the customer does not need to have an account.
create table customer (
id integer,
name varchar,
age integer,
membership_id integer,
constraint pk_id primary key (id),
constraint membership foreign key (membership_id) references membership(id));
Finally let's create a transaction table with a foreign key to the customer table and two rules testing that
create table transaction (
category varchar,
amount float,
customer_id integer not null,
constraint customer foreign key (customer_id) references customer(id),
constraint c_adult check (category = 'alcohol' impl customer.age >= 21),
constraint c_has_membership check (amount >= 100 impl customer.membership.type is not null),
constraint c_gold_membership check (amount >= 100 impl customer.membership.type = 'gold'));
For the second rule we add two constraints, one checking that the customer has an account
and one to check the account type. This is needed because of the way SQL handles expressions
with null
s in them. Another way to handle this with one constraint would be
amount >= 100 impl case when customer.membership.type is null then false else customer.membership.type = 'gold' end
.
Let's add two customers with some transactions, one adult and one under age. Neither of them
has a membership. In this case the c_gold_membership
rule evaluates as null
which does
not trigger an error by default.
insert into customer values (1, 'Adam', 25, null), (2, 'Bob', 16, null);
insert into transaction values ('food', 1.0, 2), ('alcohol', 1.0, 1);
Querying the table shows that both transactions are added. Corresponding data from the
customer table can be referred directly using the customer
foreign key.
select category, amount, customer.age from transaction;
category,amount,age
food,1.0,16
alcohol,1.0,25
Adding a transaction with under age Bob buying alcohol should fail.
insert into transaction values ('alcohol', 1.0, 2);
Constraint check c_adult failed.
We should now create a customers with memberships.
insert into membership values (1, 'gold'), (2, 'silver');
insert into customer values (3, 'Cecil', 30, 1), (4, 'Dave', 50, 2);
Add a transaction for gold member Cecil with a high amount:
insert into transaction values ('toy', 100.0, 3);
We can query again the transactions with their respective customers and accounts:
select category, amount, customer.name, customer.membership.type as membership_type from transaction;
category,amount,name,membership_type
food,1.0,Bob,null
alcohol,1.0,Adam,null
toy,100.0,Cecil,gold
However, the following transaction should trigger the c_gold_membership
constraint, since
Dave does not have a gold membership.
insert into transaction values ('toy', 100.0, 4);
Constraint check c_gold_membership failed.
Finally, this fails since Adam does not have a membership at all.
insert into transaction values ('toy', 100.0, 1);
Constraint check c_has_membership failed.

Highlights
New Weather Response
The weather command has been growing old, and needed an update. I spent a long time putting together a new design and writing the generation code for canvas. The highlight of the new image is a forecast. Now you can see what the weather should be like for the next four days.
Anime Command Updates
All anime commands have received updates. Something I think you'll like is that responses are now always sorted by popularity. This makes it much easier to search for media or characters with common names like Rem. Here are some examples:

Coming Soon
More music features
We have big plans for the music module. Here's a peek at some of the planned features:
- Queue viewable on website
- Mirai Bot Radio allowing saved playlists and online radios
- Advanced queueing, such as queue at position, queue part of playlist, and remove part of queue
- Queue looping and shuffling
- Permission systems
Airing schedule command
Allows you to get a schedule of when anime you get notifications for air during the week.
Improved web dashboard / New website
A new website is well into development and expected to release alongside Mirai 4.13. Along with general useability improvements there's an entirely new server dashboard. Instead of admins being able to change a few settings, it will now also display things such as followed twitch channels, running polls, configured airing notifications, and things for other planned features.
Giveaways and Polls
The vote and lottery commands have been long due for an upgrade. I have plans to overhaul them with tons of new features. Giveaways for example will be able to specify eligible roles and minimum account age. I've also had many requests for the ability to restrict creation to certain users, so that will be added too. Polls and giveaways may also be able to use reactions instead of messages, making them easier for everyone.

There once was a fellow from 'loo,
Who was always in need of a good brew.
So away they headed to this store,
Which you'll find on the first floor.
Participants need look for a code,
And a scanner app they must download,
A code they must scan
Input that as your next answer, that's the plan
