Speech
Children’s Minister Edward Timpson addresses the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS) annual conference.
Thanks Alan [Wood, President of ADCS and Director of Children’s Services at Hackney Council]. It’s a pleasure to be back here with you again this year in this magnificent Edwardian baroque Mancunian venue.
Congratulations, once again Alan, on your appointment. And a big thanks for the work you’ve done so far to help us on issues like Doncaster and Birmingham.
It’s recognition also, I think of how much you bring to the role, not least, of course, dare I say, in giving more airtime to your experience of transforming education and children’s services in Hackney. So I’m very much looking forward to continuing to work with you and the ADCS in the coming months. And I echo what has been said: that ADCS is an important and significant organisation whose support and challenge I’ve greatly valued, and will continue to do so.
And as well as drawing on your own strengths and passion, Alan, I know that you’ll want to build on Andrew Webb’s [previous President of ADCS ] excellent work over the past year. And I want to say how much personally I’ve appreciated the dedication and leadership Andrew has shown, particularly on adoption - something particularly close to my heart - and family justice.
And also in his work with my department and Cafcass in developing a social work evidence template, as endorsed by the Family Justice Board. I think this is going to be a really important tool in our continued drive to reduce delays and ensure that our family courts work better for vulnerable children. It’s good to see the sector taking the lead on this.
So I wish Andrew the very best as he continues his important work in Stockport and beyond. Also I want to add thanks to CYPNow who I think have provided fair, open reporting and critique of our work in central and local government with children and families.
Now, I know that many of you’ll be expecting me to focus on children’s services and social work. And it’s true that there’ve been some important improvements, which are often overlooked, as well as developments; most notably, the recent move to give local authorities the freedom to delegate social care functions to mutual, community interest companies and other not-for-profit organisations.
It’s no secret that there were some concerns that these freedoms could open the door to profiteering by the private sector. We listened to those views and I believe we’ve struck a good balance - between giving you the same freedom as we give other professionals in health and education, to innovate and raise standards, whilst ensuring that the same safeguards and accountabilities apply.
Of course, how - and even if - councils use these freedoms is entirely in their hands. But I’m in no doubt that there’s a fantastic opportunity here to increase the capacity of the system, as well as the diversity and quality of services - something I know your president has also recognised and supported.
So, wherever possible, I urge you to grab it with both hands and make it work for you in your pursuit of excellence in services for children.
But innovation doesn’t have to involve delivering services outside the local authority. As Alan said, the new children’s social care innovation programme is looking to support a variety of approaches.
Just earlier this week you will be aware that I announced the first full award from the programme of £4 million to the London triborough to enable them to completely redesign how they deliver children’s social care from within and from top to bottom, so that professionals can spend more time with children and families and so practice is rooted in greater expertise and evidence. As one manager there commented last week, “We’re simply thrilled. It’s the first time ever that government has given us money and really allowed us to think for ourselves”.
So I encourage you all to come forward with ideas that break new ground and help us do better. That’s what in reality innovation means, and it’s an opportunity for the sector, not a threat. So it’s pleasing that other local authorities are working with us on designing a specialist social work practice specialising in FGM and on setting up third party organisations like mutuals to deliver more effective services.
The mutual model has proven successful right across the range of public services; raising productivity and cutting costs whilst fostering innovation and improving quality for service users. And it’s a model that has the potential to play a central role in this sector too.
But these freedoms and opportunities for innovation are only a part of our push to find new and better ways to serve our most vulnerable children. They also include our reforms to special educational needs ( SEN ), shaped with the ADCS . And with their introduction fast approaching, that’s what I want to concentrate on today.
These reforms represent big changes for families who only ask for what we all expect for our own children - support to help them develop and thrive.
Support that fits in with their needs and not the other way around.
Support that’s as ambitious for their child as we are for other children.
A system that sees the child and not the label.
And that’s exactly what our reforms are all about.
For too long, families who face big enough challenges already have also found themselves facing - as one mother put it - “an unending battle” with a system that’s supposed to be on their side.
Like you, I want to change that experience for families.
To take us from a system that, despite best efforts, has simply become too complex, fractured and adversarial to one that’s clearer, more joined up and much more focused on children achieving their best.
Which means raising our ambitions much higher - and putting young people and their parents firmly in the driving seat.
The changes we’re making do just that - whether through the new Education, Health and Care ( EHC ) plans; through the local offer outlining what support is available; or through the requirement for services to co-operate more closely, with a new duty on health to work with local authorities to ensure that any health support that’s agreed in an EHC plan is delivered - even if that means commissioning it specifically.
It’s a radical overhaul that breaks down artificial barriers, and that champions children with SEN as never before from birth right through to adulthood.
Yes, these are big changes for families. And big changes for all of us who support them - particularly for those of you on the ground.
And I do appreciate that it’s easy to make promises from on high when those on frontline are the ones who have to deliver. Which is why I’m determined to do all I can to help you make the new system a success.
As you know, the changes have now been enshrined in the Children and Families Act and the underpinning Code of Practice is currently going through its final stages in Parliament. But this is very much the beginning, not the end of the work that needs to be done.
We all know that the real graft, the effort that ultimately turns lives around, doesn’t happen in Parliament, but in county offices, classrooms, GP surgeries, nurseries, colleges, playgrounds, not to mention family homes.
Because the truth is, that if it’s to have a real impact, a change in law must go hand in hand with a change in culture - a long-term change that gives much greater priority to children and young people with SEN . That sees us ‘working with’, not ‘doing to’.
These aren’t my words. They’re the words of the local authorities I met last week, many of whom are already driving some really excellent practice - and not just in pathfinder areas, but in other councils too.
They told me that the new arrangements are freeing them to work with parents as they’ve always wanted to - parents who, having been through the EHC assessment and planning process, are also reporting really positive experiences that focus on their children’s strengths rather than their limits.
So we can see that councils can - and are - making these reforms work and, as a consequence, making a tangible difference. And I hope you’ll be encouraged and energised , even inspired by their example as you get ready for roll-out in little over a month’s time.
To that end, I know from my own conversations and visits in recent weeks that many of you have been working hard and committing extra, valuable resources in order to prepare, and I want to say how grateful I am for all your efforts so far.
And the good news is that 95% of councils have told us they’re on track for September and can manage the changes. For authorities who are further behind the curve, I’ve made it my business personally to follow up on their progress. I hope that’s a sign of how important the government considers these reforms to be and our determination to see them improve things on the ground. Because we clearly all want families to be able to transfer smoothly to the new system and take full advantage of everything it has to offer.
And we’ve listened to you to ensure that this transfer happens at a manageable pace over the next 3-and-a-half years. So while we’re pressing the button in September, we’re not talking about an overnight switch.
And we expect that different councils of different sizes and starting points will take different approaches to delivery.
For some, these aren’t such big changes.
In Rochdale, for example, health and social care are already well integrated, and joint commissioning is also well developed in Kent and Wigan.
And in West Sussex and Hartlepool, we can see that personal budgets are doing their bit to really improve the continuity of care between home and school.
But be that as it may, we know that introducing these changes is a challenge - which is why we’re providing support throughout.
It’s why I recently announced an extra £45.2 million of funding in 2014 to 2015 and indicative funding of £31.7 million in 2015 to 2016 to help councils with implementation.
That’s on top of the £70 million SEN Reform Grant that councils can use, with no ring fencing, to work with health and others to deliver these changes.
And I’m also working closely with Dr Dan Poulter, my ministerial colleague at the Department of Health, to ensure that information and advice on implementation is joined-up across health and social care.
On top of that, we’ve also extended the pathfinder champion programme until March 2015, so that local areas can easily draw on lessons from those testing the reforms across 31 local authorities.
And as well as listening to you, we’ve also been listening to parents and young people and taking on board their advice about how we can make the system better.
Families told us that they wanted to be more involved in shaping the support they receive. And we can see that the reforms are helping them do just that.
In Greenwich, families are using short films, written reports and even music about each child to bring their EHC plans to life on secure websites. Parents give professionals working with them access to these personalised sites - sites which also allow professionals to regularly post updates and other useful information. One of the special schools in the area has taken this a step further, and incorporated this imaginative approach into their curriculum.
A terrific example of the kind of innovation and excellence that these reforms are unleashing - and it’s not just restricted to areas testing the reforms.
Wolverhampton isn’t a pathfinder, but has, nevertheless, involved young people and their parents, early on, and got them working in partnership with different agencies to produce a draft local offer and trial an integrated assessment approach. The result? EHC plans being delivered more quickly and families reporting better experiences. As one parent put it, “The process was smooth and easy and felt very personal to us as a family”. That’s exactly what I want every parent to be able to say.
In Cheadle, the Seashell Trust is bringing professionals from different agencies together in one place to carry out assessments - which is better for them and better for the families in their care. I was able to visit the Trust recently and was really impressed by what I saw.
And we can see personal budgets stimulating innovation in the SE7 area as they shift the focus from the mechanics of provision to the potential of each young person. One parent told us that having a personal budget “…has made us think differently about how we might approach his longer-term care and support needs and the role we could play in this, to the extent that we are looking into setting up a parent-led residential care service for him and other young adults as a long-term venture”.
Now, we often talk about empowering families and putting them at the centre of services. I think this is what it looks like.
But there’s, of course, more to do.
Families have consistently told us - and all of you - over the years how hard they’ve found it to get information, to deal with different agencies, to find their way through the system.
That’s why we’re putting £30 million into recruiting and training independent supporters to help families in the transition to the new system, which are intended to also help you.
And I’m optimistic that these supporters and the generally more collaborative thrust of the new system will not only help put children’s needs first, but improve relationships between parents and professionals - and reduce the conflict that’s all too prevalent in the current set-up.
Indeed, developing good links with parents and doing all you can to involve them, now and in the long term, is utterly vital to the cultural shift that’s needed to make these reforms a success; to helping families understand what the changes mean for them and to managing expectations.
Change, inevitably, can be a rather bumpy ride, so investing in these relationships now will pay dividends in the months and years to come.
So I urge you to make them a real priority. Contact all your families with an identified child with SEND and make sure they know what will be happening come September.
Equally, early years settings, schools and colleges also need to get young people and parents on board - especially when it comes to working with councils to develop the local offer and their own school offer.
And I’m also keen to see schools and local authorities joining up with health wherever possible so that support can be provided earlier.
In planning ahead, the Code - which is firmly based on best practice - is a good guide, particularly as regards to greater integration with health and education. As you know, this will kick in at all levels.
I also want to be clear that we don’t expect you to have everything done and dusted on day one. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
There are, of course, certain things that you must have in place for September - information and advice, the local offer and the capacity to assess those wanting a new EHC plan. Others, like joint commissioning and the offer for young offenders, will take longer to develop.
Because, as I said before, these are undoubtedly changes on a large scale that come with big challenges, but also - we shouldn’t forget - a big opportunity - the biggest for a generation to change the lives of some of our most disadvantaged children.
And with over 1.5 million children and young people relying on our SEN provision in just our schools, I accept that it won’t all be plain sailing. But, be in no doubt, we are behind you all the way; offering support from our expert advisers or from Mott McDonald, putting money behind the new system, monitoring closely how it works. So I urge you to seize this chance to really raise our game for these young people.
To go as far and fast as you can to help them tap into their unique talents.
To support them to aspire and achieve at school, at work and as happy, fulfilled adults.
To do the job you came into the profession to do - the very best for those in your care.
This is what our drive for innovation in this and other areas is all about. Not change for its own sake. Not ideology. All I’m interested in, and what drives me, is what works to provide better support and better prospects for vulnerable children.
And no-one has a keener understanding of what this means than the young people themselves and their parents. Something that’s been driven home for me, time and time again, not only on visits to schools and colleges, but also through the invaluable advice that I receive from EPIC , a group of very bright, articulate young people with special educational needs and disabilities.
They remind me what really matters and why we’re all doing this - and what an incredible difference we can make to their lives when we get it right. So do take every opportunity to reach out to families as you implement these changes - you won’t regret it.
So can I thank you, once again, for the hard work and commitment that all of you here and beyond have put in so far. The wider pressures you’re under are not lost on me either. I want you all to succeed. I believe we’re on track, and I’m confident that by continuing to work together, we can ensure that there are no limits to what children with SEN - indeed all children who need your support - can achieve.
Thank you.

The bilateral filter is a commonly used technique in image processing. However, being nonlinear, it is computationally expensive. Several works have been proposed to accelerate the computation. Nevertheless, most techniques are tailored for gray-scale image or confined to specific kernel functions. We generalize the state-of-the-art constant time bilateral filtering technique for gray-scale images as a three-stage algorithm. Moreover, we proposed an extension for color images. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our solution.

STORYTELLING
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Fine Line Features/ Killer Films/ Good Machine Director: Todd Solondz Writer: Todd Solondz Cast: Selma Blair, Paul Giamatti, Mark Webber, Robert Wisdom. Leo Fitzpatrick, John Goodman, Julie Hagerty, Lupe Ontiveros, Jonathan Osser Screened at: NY Film Festival 9/25/01
Filming in the same satiric mode that informed his wonderfully mocking film "Happiness," Todd Solondz comes through for the most part once again with a pair of stories which are related thematically but are otherwise wholly independent of each other. Proving the Bard's contention that brevity is the soul of wit, Mr. Solondz's first tale, called "Fiction," is far superior to his closing yarn, "Non-Fiction," given its tight editing, superlative acting, and the writer-director's happy intention of not overstaying his welcome.
"Fiction," which features the protean Selma Blair (last seen in Dana Lustig's godawful "Kill Me Later" but more fortuitously in Robert Luketic's "Legally Blonde,") demolishes political correctness, staging the work on the campus of a small college. Blair performers in the role of Vi, a blond-haired, impressionable young woman with her mane dyed bright orange, who opens the movie with a hot sex scene. She is in bed with her current boyfriend and classmate Marcus (Leo Fitzpatrick), a guy who is afflicted with cerebral palsy and sits next to her in a creative writing class presided over by Mr. Scott (Robert Wisdom) a tall black instructor and Pulitzer-prize winner and a man who virtually ravages his charges with ego-bending lacerations. Approached in a bar by Vi, Mr. Scott invites her to his room, where the sober instructor teaches his student what she thought she learned well enough with her own boy friend.
"Fiction," which includes politically-incorrect allusions of at least the quality that got Bill Maher in trouble on TV, is an original--just when you thought you had imbibed all of Solondz's singularity from his "Happiness" and "Welcome to the Dollhouse." Taking aim at pretentious professors and sensual students alike, "Fiction" cleverly suggests that everything we seem to know about people from observing them in polite society is indeed fiction.
Part 2, the longer piece, is a mixed bag that starts off in as promising a way as its lead feature, but Solondz, in extending his conceit beyond the tenable, loses his handle on the material and ends the work on a contrived, unsatisfactory note. The forty-two year-old Newark-born director hones in on a family in his home state, using as a catalyst an unsuccessful New York shoe salesman named Toby Oxman (Paul Giamatti). Toby, who works in a Florsheim store but who has not yet given up his dream, is determined to become famous (though not rich) by producing a documentary about high school. What turns out is not as compelling as Fred Wiseman's masterwork on the subject but, as Solondz freely implies is meant as a sendup of not only suburban families but of pretentious movie-makers whose use of film- school techniques poses as art, impressing only those who get out to the theaters once a month. Toby's subject, Scooby Livingston (Mark Webber), is a stereotypically rich, pot-smoking teen, almost catatonic in his refusal to make plans for his future. His driven father, Marty (John Goodman) is on his case, occasionally chasing Scooby's brother Mikey (Jonathan Osser) from the table. Though the stage is set for revenge, Solondz shows some confusion about the kind of story he wants to tell. Is he making a post-Columbine statement about how stresses in the family unit lead to destruction, or is he interested in working out his own conflicts about the kinds of films he wants to make for his audience? He appears to use Toby (Todd?) as his alter ego, a man who cannot quite focus on what he wants to say--just as he cannot himself decide what he wants to send up--and the plot heads off in various directions ending with a strange, not- quite-motivated catastrophe.
"Storytelling," then, is well worth seeing--as is anything by this confrontational and gifted director, given its absolutely brilliant, taut opener and the laughs provided especially by John Goodman as a rich, demanding dad who is brought down by his tyrannical expectations.

Now that we've securely configured our app, we can start coding. If you're familiar with django, or at least have read the official tutorial, the following will be pretty straightforward.
Open your terminal, and start the app that will handle members:
# In your terminal
$ django-admin startapp members
Then register the app in settings.py:
# In settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
...
'members.apps.MembersConfig',
]
Then create members/urls.py and wire the app. So in herokub2_club/urls.py:
# In herokub2_club/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include
urlpatterns=[
...,
url(r'^', include("members.urls"))
]
In members/models.py:
# In members/models.py
class Member(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=64)
short_bio = models.TextField(max_length=512) # Short Biography
picture = models.ImageField(upload_to="members", default="members/py.png")
With this setup, images will be uploaded to a folder named 'members' in your B2 bucket. When you fail to provide a picture,
the default picture will be used. It must be in the bucket BEFOREHAND. Within a template, we will be able to access the picture with 'member.picture.url'.
We will create two views. One for listing the members, and one for creating a new member. To list members, we will use a ListView. And to create a new member, we will use a CreateView. So in members/views.py:
# In members/views.py
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse_lazy # similar to reverse
from django.views.generic import ListView
from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView
from .models import Member
class AllMembersView(ListView):
model = Member
template_name = "index.html"
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(AllMembersView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['title'] = 'All Members'
return context
class NewMemberView(CreateView):
template_name = "new_member.html"
model = Member # Model of the object that will be created
fields = ['name', 'short_bio', 'picture']
success_url = reverse_lazy("members:all_members") # Redirect Url after creating the object
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(NewMemberView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['title'] = "New Member"
return context
Notice how we can do a lot with little code using generic views. The CreateView will automatically give us access to a form in our templates.
We now need to link urls to each of our views. So in members/urls.py:
# In members/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
app_name = "members"
urlpatterns=[
url(r'^$', views.AllMembersView.as_view(), name="all_members"),
url(r'^new_member/$', views.NewMemberView.as_view(), name="new_member"),
]
I am sure you're not here for a class about web design. So I am just going to give you the essential parts. You can view the entire source code here. With that said:
# In members/templates/index.html
...

{% for member in object_list %}

...

...

{% endfor %}

...
# Then in members/templates/new_member.html
...

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.as_p}}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit<\button>
<\form>
...
Of course, I am using bootstrap with some custom javascript to make things prettier. But you don't have to. You NEED to specify enctype='multipart/form-data'. Otherwise the images won't get uploaded.
If you haven't made any mistake, you're ready to deploy.
You should now be able to view your website by opening the url Heroku gives you. With my custom styles, it looks like:
The tutorial ends here. With this simple app, we learned quite a lot. We've learned how to deploy our apps to Heroku. We've also seen how to store user files in B2 Cloud Storage, and how to display access them in our code. Finally we've seen some security best practices when it comes to storing sensitive information.
I really hope this tutorial will help you make great things.
Thank you.

Vix Layout is a simple way to organize different views within a page.
A container is a box with free space on the left and right sides. Container's side's padding vary according to the device's width. A container is only supposed to have one element. On Smaller devices, the space becomes smaller significantly.
A flex is an array (list) of elements displayed on order, whether vertically or horizontally.
Flex is not only an array, it has much more control! You can; display the items as columns or rows, make it go in reverse order and make some items take more space than others.
For example if you have 6 elements and you set one item to flex
, it will span all the available space and other elements will thrive with the available space. A flex can have tab spaces which divide the items. Following is an example of a use of flex and containers in a navbar.


Change passwords at least every 90 days.
Changing passwords regularly ensures that if a password has been compromised, it will soon become useless.
Perform the following actions to assure that passwords are changed regularly in an Active Directory environment:
Launch the "Group Policy Management" console. The "Group Policy Management" console is included in Windows 2008, but has to be downloaded and installed on Windows 2003 and 2000. The link to the download is available at the bottom of this page. To launch the "Group Policy Management" console, execute the "gpmc.msc" command.
Edit or create a Group Policy Object (GPO). To create and activate a new Group Policy Object (GPO), launch "The Group Policy Management" console, right click on the domain and select "Create and Link a GPO Here." To edit an existing GPO, navigate to the "Group Policy Objects" folder under the current domain, right click on the GPO and select "Edit" - this will open the "Group Policy Object Editor." To change the settings of a GPO using the "Group Policy Object Editor, navigate the folders to find the setting of interest, double click on it, set the desired option(s).
Enable the "Maximum password age" policy. The "Maximum password age" policy is located under "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Account Policies", "Password Policy". Set the "Maximum password age" policy to 90 days or less.

Presence detection - update 3
Last time I said that I was probably going to go with the Bayesian sensor for presence detection, but I’ve changed my mind.
Why, because of an occasional edge case in which people get marked away when they’re not really away. The Pi is in a corner of the house, as is the primary WiFi access point. If somebody is standing in exactly the right spot, they can drop off both Bluetooth and WiFi for just long enough to be marked as away. The quick answer to this is to extend the original home/away automations:
Home
- initial_state: 'on'
alias: 'person2 home'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- device_tracker.person2_mobile
- device_tracker.person2_mobile_bt
- device_tracker.person2_mobile_gps
to: 'home'
- platform: homeassistant
event: start
condition:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: group.person_person2
above: 1
value_template: "{{ dict((states|selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.person_person2', 'entity_id'))|list)|groupby('state'))['home']|count }}"
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.person2_home
Away
alias: 'person2 away'
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- device_tracker.person2_mobile
- device_tracker.person2_mobile_bt
- device_tracker.person2_mobile_gps
to: 'not_home'
- platform: state
entity_id:
- device_tracker.person2_mobile
- device_tracker.person2_mobile_bt
- device_tracker.person2_mobile_gps
to: 'not_home'
for:
minutes: 5
- platform: homeassistant
event: start
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.person2_home
state: 'on'
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: group.person_person2
below: 2
value_template: "{{ dict((states|selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.person_person2', 'entity_id'))|list)|groupby('state'))['home']|count }}"
- condition: or
conditions:
# A door was opened in the last 10 minutes
- condition: template
value_template: "{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.last_opened.last_updated)) | int < 600 }}"
# A door is currently open
- condition: state
entity_id: group.my_exterior_doors
state: 'on'
# All away for at least 4 minutes
- condition: state
entity_id: group.person_person2
state: 'not_home'
for:
minutes: 4
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
entity_id: input_boolean.person2_home
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.person2_is_awake
Now
This is quite a bit more complicated than the simple Bayesian sensor, but it’s given me zero false away detections. It’s also cheaper than fixing the coverage problem for an area about 30 cm across.

Is there a reason for the following discrepancy?
#print is_open_univ /- @[reducible] def topological_space.is_open_univ : ∀ {α : Type u} (c : topological_space α), is_open c univ := λ (α : Type u) (c : topological_space α), [topological_space.is_open_univ c] -/ #print is_open_empty /- @[simp] theorem is_open_empty : ∀ {α : Type u} [_inst_1 : topological_space α], is_open ∅ := λ {α : Type u} [_inst_1 : topological_space α], eq.mpr (id (eq.rec (eq.refl (is_open ∅)) (eq.symm sUnion_empty))) (is_open_sUnion (λ (a : set α), false.elim)) -/
You have the wrong is_open_univ
I think
You probably want the root namespace one
Aahrg, I see.
Otoh, because of proof irrelevance it doesn't really matter which one I'm using, I guess.
I assumed you were concerned about the type: ()
vs []
Yes, I was.
There is all sorts of asymmetry. But using the _root_
version solves all my headaches (-;

Up: Fast, Approximate Error Prediction
Previous: Prediction of Error Locations
Conclusion
In this work, probabilistic error masking matrix is first introduced which addresses the error masking effects of logic circuits. Taking advantage of PeMM, an fast and approximate error prediction framework is illustrated which tracks the paths of error propagation and fine-grained error probabilities. Vulnerability of hardware resources can be easily predicted through the framework. Benchmark results with state-of-the-art high-level fault simulation indicates that the proposed framework achieves high accuracy of error prediction and significant speedup. Both data and control flow errors can be approximately predicted.
Future work includes detailed QoS-reliability exploration for approximate applications using the framework. Besides, the setup of proposed framework for generic processors will be automated so that error propagation on application specific architectures can be fast and accurately analyzed.

Email Functions¶
In this section, we will cover the following functions in-depth listed below:
uadmin.EmailFrom¶
var EmailFrom string
EmailFrom identifies where the email is coming from.
Used in the tutorial:
To assign a value within an application, visit Email From page for an example.
To assign a value in the code, follow this approach:
Go to the main.go and apply the following codes below:
func main(){
// NOTE: This code works only if database does not exist yet.
uadmin.EmailFrom =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>uadmin.EmailUsername =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>uadmin.EmailPassword = "abc123"
uadmin.EmailSMTPServer = "smtp.integritynet.biz"
uadmin.EmailSMTPServerPort = 587
// ----- IF YOU RUN YOUR APPLICATION AGAIN, DO THIS BELOW -----
// Assign Email From in the Settings
setting := uadmin.Setting{}
uadmin.Get(&setting, "code = ?", "uAdmin.EmailFrom")
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>setting.Save()
// Assign Email Username in the Settings
setting = uadmin.Setting{}
uadmin.Get(&setting, "code = ?", "uAdmin.EmailUsername")
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>setting.Save()
// Assign Email Password in the Settings
setting = uadmin.Setting{}
uadmin.Get(&setting, "code = ?", "uAdmin.EmailPassword")
setting.ParseFormValue([]string{"abc123"})
setting.Save()
// Assign Email SMTP Server in the Settings
setting = uadmin.Setting{}
uadmin.Get(&setting, "code = ?", "uAdmin.EmailSMTPServer")
setting.ParseFormValue([]string{"smtp.integritynet.biz"})
setting.Save()
// Assign Email SMTP Server Port in the Settings
setting = uadmin.Setting{}
uadmin.Get(&setting, "code = ?", "uAdmin.EmailSMTPServerPort")
setting.ParseFormValue([]string{"587"})
setting.Save()
// Some codes
}
Let’s go back to the uAdmin dashboard, go to Users model, create your own user account and set the email address based on your assigned EmailFrom in the code above.
Log out your account. At the moment, you suddenly forgot your password. How can we retrieve our account? Click Forgot Password at the bottom of the login form.
Input your email address based on the user account you wish to retrieve it back.
Once you are done, open your email account. You will receive a password reset notification from the Todo List support. To reset your password, click the link highlighted below.
You will be greeted by the reset password form. Input the following information in order to create a new password for you.
Once you are done, you can now access your account using your new password.
Quiz:
uadmin.EmailPassword¶

uadmin.SendEmail¶
func SendEmail(to, cc, bcc []string, subject, body string) (err error)
SendEmail sends email using system configured variables.
Parameters:
to []string: This is who you are primarily writing the email to, it’s clear to both the writer and the recipient who is writing the email and to whom it intended.
cc []string: This means carbon copy and it includes people who might be interested in knowing that there was an email between the sender and the primary TO, typically CC’s are not meant to respond, only the primary sender. Everyone can see who was included in the To and CC.
bcc []string: This means blind carbon copy. The sender has added people that the receiving TO and CC are not able to see as a part of the email, someone on BCC is not to respond and they will not be included in the response from the TO or CC. BCC is often used to include a stakeholder like a boss to make sure they are aware of a situation but they can’t respond. 1
subject string: This means what your email content is all about.
body string: This means the content of your email. It would be either a job application, the letter of your friend, notifications from your subscribed website, etc.
Go to the main.go and apply the following codes below:
func main(){
// Some codes
// Email configurations
uadmin.EmailFrom =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>uadmin.EmailUsername =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>uadmin.EmailPassword = "abc123"

Computational Geometry
This week, we'll be learning about Computational Geometry, or doing geometric calculations with computers.
The are many interesting, difficult, but always useful algorithms in this field, and many of them show up
in competitions all the time.
-
First, let's review Vector Operations which
are fundamental, yet crucial.
-
Also, look at this video about the Cross Product
which is only applicable in 2 and 3D, but is important in both area calculations and the convex hull.
Don't forget to marvel at that free-drawn hand...
-
Go ahead and write down (or memorize)
Heron's Formula which tends
to show up from time to time.
-
More generically, we have the Shoelace Formula,
which secretly uses the cross product to achieve it's ends. Only read the Intro and Definition, and
then the more complex example to see it worked through by hand.
-
Now, watch this weird video (only the first
two minutes) to learn what the Convex Hull is.
-
Here is a visualization of the Graham Scan, an
algorithm for calculating the convex hull, if you'd like to see it in action.
Delving Deeper
-
The Convex Hull is not terribly difficult to implement. Read
Graham's Original Paper which is
only a page and a half. Be sure to try and implement it yourself. Our problem set Thursday will present
a different algorithm for the convex
hull, so I recommend you look at both for comparison.
-
One interesting problem that arises is the
Closest Pairs Problem, which
is naively
O(n²)
, but can be written to be O(n logn)
instead. Try writing
up a naive implementation alongside a divide and conquer version to compare run time for large sets of
points
-
Here's a good ACM problem to puzzle at.
-
See a full list of computational
geometry topics here.

I want to share this experience for two reasons. I think it can be valuable as a description of my success with a simple recipe for marijuana brownies as well as an account of my own experience. I’ve written the preparation first and described my encounter afterwards. For reference, at the time of this experience I am 17 years old with drug history of mainly cannabis and alcohol with some pharmaceutical use and a single mushroom trip.
It was a very nice November afternoon when I cooked my first batch of marijuana brownies. I came home from school with my friend/dealer and we weighed out a quarter ounce (7g) of good hydroponic weed. Broke this up pretty well, not grinded but finer than normal for a blunt or bowl. I made sure to keep the stems; although they aren’t good for smoking they do have some THC content and are worthwhile for cooking.
The box of brownie mix (Duncan Hines) called for 2/3 cup of vegetable oil; this is where the weed entered the recipe. I heated the oil in a plain cooking pot to an easy boil and put the weed in. Let it stay in for about 10 minutes, during which I periodically pressed it with a spatula just to ensure that the full spectrum of cannabinoids was dissolving well. This step here made the house REEK of weed. After this I poured the oil with weed through a strainer back into the measuring glass, letting it sit for a while to make sure every precious drop got through. Now I had 2/3 cup of oil with a quarter ounce worth of good weed dissolved inside.
After this, just cook as normal following the box’s directions. I was able to cut the tray into 12 potent brownies, slightly more than a half gram in each. Worked well for everyone who had them, even very experienced smokers felt the effects for about 6 hours. They tasted good too, just like normal brownies. (Best eaten within a few days, I saved one and ate a little over a week later, it tasted terrible). I personally felt them very strongly, my own experience follows.
I first consumed during the cooking process at about 3 pm. After mixing the batter together in a bowl and pouring it into the tray, I ate the remaining batter with a spoon. Why let anything go to waste? I then put the tray in the oven and let it start cooking. I was in a great mood, very excited about the brownies and was with a good group of people who I like a lot.
While waiting for the brownies to cook (this took somewhere around a half hour), my friend and I took a quick trip to 7-11 to buy some chips. I was very surprised to realize, on my way into the store, that I was already high just from the batter I ate! I was feeling the early signs: bright colors, different thought process, giddiness, etc. Sometimes I find this stage the most enjoyable. Once we got back and the brownies finished I took them out and cut the tray up into 12. Then 3 of us, me, my brother, and my friend, each ate one of ours. This was at 3:30, and I was still feeling the high from before, and it was actually still building.
About 20 minutes later I felt what I believe was the onset of the brownie (it was somewhat unclear since I was already high). I have a quick stomach, and it was pretty much empty so I knew it would come quickly. It was a little longer for the other two I was with. Once it started coming on it built pretty quickly and strongly. We hung out in my kitchen and just talked and joked around for a while, conversation flowed pretty easily. At about 4:30 we headed to the basement to watch TV, which was hilarious. We watched for a little over an hour and laughed a lot. Had a few of those precious “rounds of laughing” where we would laugh at something and then maintain it by looking at each other and laughing about how we were laughing. Gotta love those.
By this point I was feeling pretty good, like after smoking a sizeable amount, but more of a body-high than I feel when smoking marijuana. The sensations were still building too; it would still be over an hour until I peaked. I did not experience any amount of “shaking” and unsteadiness that I sometimes get when smoking. I was glad about this; I don’t really like that shaky feeling. One surprise was that I did still experience cottonmouth. Less so than after smoking, but definitely noticeable. Did I get the munchies? I’m not sure. The sensation of eating was very nice, but I wasn’t drawn to “munch face” like I sometimes am after smoking. This was probably because eating marijuana can be kind of tough on the stomach.
Overall it was very pleasant for a while, but it started to build a little bit too much. This happens sometimes with me, I get too “out of it” and internally withdrawn into my own thoughts. I was feeling like this when my friend left to go home and my brother went upstairs. I’m not exactly sure how much time passed, but I’m guessing it was about 6:30, 3 hours since eating, when the most profound part of my trip (and I do consider this a trip) occurred.
I was reclined and day dreaming pretty deeply, probably fading in and out, when I suddenly rose, raised my hands towards the ceiling and began chanting “GOD! GOD! GOD!” I don’t know where it came from or how I started doing it. I believe I said it 6 times, and I swear I felt better after each time. Up until this point I was not very religious. I was unsure about my beliefs, didn’t know whether to believe in God or not. It was clear to me that organized religion was not my thing, and I still feel the same about that. However, I truly consider this a deep religious experience and I now strongly believe in God. In reflection, I think it makes perfect sense that the revelation occurred at this time. My life was somewhat “messy” at the time, with a lot of loose ends and the like. Since then I have done my best to “clean” it up and feel a better sense of direction and purpose, and feel good about being part of something greater.
I was pretty drained by this point, but I felt great spiritually after the aforementioned outburst. I headed straight to my room and took about a 6 hour nap, which contained some strange and interesting dreams. I awoke at around 1:00 am and still felt a little bit high, but refreshed from the nap.
In conclusion, this was clearly a good experience. Although stronger than I would usually prefer, I know I probably would not have had such a deep spiritual eruption with a smaller dose. I believe I ate close to a gram that day, if you include the batter I had beforehand. I have made brownies since, but prefer to eat somewhat less, especially in a social situation. If I had a free day however, I would not rule out taking a very strong dose and seeing where it takes me.
Thanks for reading, God bless and enjoy yourselves! – Reverend Roach

TBT: Otorogu, Pirates’ Misfiring Gentle Giant
by SL SocialWith Orlando Pirates seemingly struggling for goals this season, fans will remember a former Bucs striker Ezenwa Otorogu, who was brought in to score goals, but failed dismally.
The Nigerian spent time with the Buccaneers for just one season in the 2010/11 campaign.
He managed to rack up four goals, but that was the end of his purple patch. The 32-year-old did however form part of Pirates’ treble-winning side.

The burly striker was widely regarded as one of the worst strikers in Pirates’ history with question marks surrounding his age and overshadowing his stay in Mzansi.
He later joined Bloemfontein Celtic on a short-lived deal that yielded no goals.
Otorogu has been clubless for over a year, having left American side Izee Auto FC in 2018.
What are your memories of Otorogu in a Bucs jersey?

问题描述 :
Flavius Josephus and 40 fellow rebels were trapped by the Romans.  Josephus was not excited by the idea of killing himself, so he calculated the position to be the last man standing (and then he did not commit suicide since nobody could watch).
We will consider a variant of this “game” where every second person leaves. And of course there will be more than 41 persons, for we now have computers. You have to calculate the safe position. Be careful because we might apply your program to calculate the winner of this contest!
输入:
The input contains several test cases. Each specifies a number n, denoting the number of persons participating in the game. To make things more difficult, it always has the format “xyez” with the following semantics: when n is written down in decimal notation, its first digit is x, its second digit is y, and then follow z zeros. Whereas 0<=x,y<=9, the number of zeros is 0<=z<=6. You may assume that n>0. The last test case is followed by the string 00e0.
输出:
For each test case generate a line containing the position of the person who survives. Assume that the participants have serial numbers from 1 to n and that the counting starts with person 1, i.e., the first person leaving is the one with number 2. For example, if there are 5 persons in the circle, counting proceeds as 2, 4, 1, 5 and person 3 is staying alive.

The following quotations, taken directly from the "1967 ASME Steam Tables" published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, are thought to be of significant value both as background, and for proper use of the ASME Steam Table subroutines. The entire introduction is taken from the "1967 ASME Steam Tables" reference, except for the headings for Sections 1.1, 1.2. and 1.3.
The publication of these new ASME Steam Tables represents the culmination of an ASME project which had its origin in 1954 when, at the Fourth International Conference on Properties of Steam held in Philadelphia, Pa., it was decided that the time had come to update our knowledge of the thermodynamic properties of steam. Fortunately, the Society was able to take advantage of the experience of a number of its members who were involved in a similar venture more than thirty years earlier.
Just as occurred previously, the project required fund raising, identification and technical supervision of new experimental research, extensive international cooperation, and the adoption of internationally accepted skeleton tables. This time, however, the demand for standardization of design and performance calculations could not be satisfied by skeleton tables alone. International agreement had to be reached on a set of equations which would reproduce these skeleton tables, provide a suitable interpolation scheme, and yet give reasonable computer efficiency when incorporated in the already complex computer programs used day after day for design and performance calculations.
The First International Conference on Properties of Steam, London, England, 1929, concerned itself with a detailed examination of the tables of specific volume and enthalpy submitted by the various national delegations. The skeleton tables compiled at that conference served as the basis for the 1930 ASME Steam Tables, prepared by Professor J. H. Keenan and published by ASME. This conference recognized that considerable additional measurements would be required before a truly satisfactory representation of these properties could be agreed upon.
Progress was reviewed at the Second International Conference, held in Berlin, Germany, in 1930, at which time, significant modifications were made in the skeleton tables. The time, however, was not ripe for full agreement. Such agreement was reached in 1934 at the Third International Conference held in Washington, D.C., Cambridge, Mass., and New York, N.Y., with the adoption of skeleton tables giving the specific volume and enthalpy along the saturation line and at round values of temperature and pressure for the compressed liquid and superheated vapor. In addition, each entry in the tables had associated with it a tolerance so that the two values would "constitute a criterion, internationally agreed upon, by which, the reliability of steam tables may be judged". The skeleton tables and the experimental measurements which led up to them served as the basis for a number of publications, the most prominent of which was the Keenan and Keyes Steam Tables which had served as the vade mecum of engineers these past 30 years.
The need was recognized for continued research on properties of steam and water by the Third International Conference, to an extent that solicitations and even recorded assurances from various delegations and institutions assured that the work on steam would be continued and extended.
The plan to hold a Fourth International Conference in Prague, Czechoslovakia gave way in time to more pressing problems brought on by the Second World War. Almost twenty years elapsed before the thermodynamic properties of steam again became an active concern of the Society and the international scientific and engineering community. When the Fourth International Conference was held in Philadelphia, PA in 1954, it was evident that technological advances made in intervening years would require thermodynamic information outside of the temperature and pressure range of the existing steam tables. The Society established a research committee on the Properties of Steam, and charged it with the task of arranging for new research and reestablishing the program of international coordination, which had proved so fruitful two decades earlier. The Society also accepted the invitation to serve as the permanent Secretariat for the International Conferences on Properties of Steam.
By this time, interest had developed in Japan and the U.S.S.R. in thermodynamic tables for steam having the status of an international standard. Moreover, a considerable body of new experimental measurements had been reported by a number of institutions in the Soviet Union. Thus, at the time of the Fifth International Conference, London, 1956, it was evident that the work of examining the published data and supervising the then current research could be handled best by national commissions from the four countries in which the major experimental research was being carried on. It was further agreed, that the national Commissions (Federal Republic of Germany, United Kingdom. Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the United States) would constitute the International Coordinating Committee - the working group of the Fifth International Conference.
The labors of the International Coordinating Committee were rewarded at a plenary session of the Sixth International Conference on the Properties of Steam, New York, N. Y., 1963. when the tables were adopted as "The International Skeleton Tables of 1963". The temperature range of the skeleton tables is from 0 to 800 C and the pressure extends to 1000 bars - a considerable extension over the range of the 1934 Skeleton Tables. Where new experimental data reflected refined experimental techniques, they are in turn, reflected in the narrower "tolerance" limits of the new tables. The skeleton tables adopted by 16 member nations of the Sixth International Conference, are the bases for the equations from which these ASME Steam Tables have been computed.
Long before the work of the International Coordinating Committee was completed, it was clear to most members of the working groups that the skeleton tables alone did not insure the degree of reproducibility originally envisioned for design and performance calculations owing to the relatively coarse grid of the skeleton tables and to the requirements of performing numerical differentiation and integration. It became important to ensure that each country handled the numbers in the same way when it came to compiling detailed tables such as the following, or, when incorporating the skeleton tables into a computer program for design and performance calculations. The Sixth International Conference was cognizant of this problem and established an International Formulation Committee (IFC) to:
"Develop at the earliest practical date a formulation for use with computers of the properties of steam as they are represented by the International Skeleton Tables of 1963. This formulation shall provide values that are, at all points, within the tolerances stated in the International Skeleton Tables of 1963, and shall be thermodynamically consistent."
After two years of sustained effort, during which delegates from Japan and Czechoslovakia joined those of the Federal Republic of Germany, United Kingdom, United States of America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, a conference was held in Prague, at which agreement was reached concerning the form and characteristics of the equations which would meet the requirements laid down by the Sixth International Conference. A year later (March 1966), the IFC met in Glasgow, Scotland. After much deliberation, unanimous agreement was reached among the six national delegations on a formulation, which, after some post-conference modifications. was recommended to the members of the Sixth International Conference.
While it was the general feeling of the IFC that the formulation did indeed satisfy the requirement for international standardization of steam tables for industrial use, it left much to be desired as a definitive equation of state for steam; thus, The "1967 IFC Formulation for Industrial Use: A Formulation of the Thermodynamic Properties of Ordinary Water Substance." Several of the countries participating in the Sixth International Conference are using this formulation to prepare more detailed tables for steam and water. This formulation is the basis for the thermodynamic tables and figures in these new ASME Steam Tables.
The Sixth International Conference expanded the scope of its activity by establishing a panel of experts to develop skeleton tables for transport properties (viscosity and thermal conductivity of steam and water). That panel completed its work at a meeting in Paris, France, in June 1964 and the transport properties given here are based on the skeleton tables and the empirical equations which they developed.
The canonical functions provide the definitive expression of the formulation. The derived functions are for practical use and are secondary to the canonical functions.
The formulation presented herein describes the thermodynamic properties of ordinary water substance throughout the whole of the region that extends pressure from the ideal-gas limit (at zero pressure) to a pressure of 10**8 N/m**2 (1000 bar), and that extends in temperature from 273.16 K (0.01 C) to 1073.15 K(800 C).
Two computer programs which have evolved from this study are:
C=HSS(P,T,S,V) to calculate S using P and T
H=HSSISS(P,S,T1,V1,X) to calculate the enthalpy, H, using P and S.
*See Section 4 for a description of usage of the steam property sub-programs. Specifically see sections 4.4.9 and 4.4.11 for descriptions of HSS and HSSISS, respectively.
Note that in Figure 1, an example of such a plot, the T's of the skeleton table values rest on the line generated by the periods, and hence agreement is perfect.
Similar plots are produced by fixing temperature at each of the skeleton values, and varying pressure in small increments, over the entire pressure range.
For purposes of Quality Assurance, checksums are calculated by summing plotted results for each fixed pressure and temperature. A total checksum for all properties is also calculated.

The calculation of heat capacity by numerical differentiation demonstrates two possible characteristics which must be considered for all of the ASME steam properties:
The specific volume V1 which is calculated by
C = HSS(P,T.S,V1) to calculate V1and the specific volume V2 which is calculated by
Q = HSS(P,T,S,V1) to calculate S for P and T. C = HSSISS(P,S,T1,V2,M) using above output S to calculate V2.agree to six decimal places. This example demonstrates a rather remarkable consistency of the results produced by HSS and HSSISS, a consistency which has been found to be generally true of the ASME sub-programs.

Copper Acetate
Formula: Cu(CH3COO)2·H2O Copper salt of acetic acid.
Properties
- Crystal system: monoclinic
- Crystal shape: slant prism
- Color: dark blue, almost black
- Stability on air: stable, though some people report slow weathering.
Preparation
I've made it electrochemically, by dissolving copper anode in acetic acid. An easier way would be the following 2-step reaction, starting from copper (II) sulphate CuSO4.
First, dissolve some CuSO4 in water and add baking soda NaHCO3. Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or hydroxide (NaOH) are fine too. Immediately, CO2 gas will release (beware of exceffive foaming), and green-blue sediment of the basic copper (II) carbonate will precipitate:
2CuSO4 + 2NaHCO3 → CuCO3·Cu(OH)2(s) + Na2SO4 + CO2(g)
Let the sediment to settle down, wash it 2-3 times, then dissolve it it in the acetic acid:
CuCO3·Cu(OH)2 + 4CH3COOH → 2Cu(CH3COO)2 + 2H2O + CO2(g)
You will obtain blue solution of the copper (II) acetate. Again, carbon dioxide gas would form, so don't add a lot of acid at once. In case you are getting dark-blue precipitate, add more water: copper acetate has relatively low solubility in water.
Growing
Solubility of this compound is quite low: 7.2g per 100ml.
Avoid strong heating, because it causes hydrolysis. Some additional acetic acid improves quality.
Safety
Like all copper compound, it is moderately toxic, so avoid eating it.
