The Derby Hatterizer is a web app that maximizes the fashion frenzy in Louisville surrounding the Kentucky Derby. It allows users to take/upload their photos and digitally place a Kentucky Derby hat on their heads, or even design their own. The user can then share their final image on social media.
Stakeholders at the Courier-Journal wanted to provide a unique Kentucky Derby-themed digital experience for their online subscribers. The goal was to generate social engagement by having users participate in using a digital product and sharing the result on social media. We would measure success of the project based on unique visitors to the interactive project as well as generated social engagement (Facebook shares) from our younger online subscribers. Personas, matched with our internal metrics, were used to help us understand the online habits of our target user.
I co-lead brainstorming sessions with stakeholders to come up with ideas concerning what digital product we could deliver. The initial thought was that we could create a simple website that allowed the users to decorate cartoon-stylized horses. I quickly created a mockup of such a product and took a sample of about twenty people in our target age range and performed some initial user testing (based on opinion of the concept alone), the result wasn’t as engaging as we initially thought. Polled potential users couldn’t see themselves spending time decorating a cartoon horse and sharing the images with their friends. Back to the drawing board.
I then had the thought that, perhaps, if the interactive was a bit more user-centric, we could increase engagement and promote social interaction. Perhaps instead of designing and decorating horses, the user could upload a photo of themselves and design their own Kentucky Derby hat? We discussed the idea in another brainstorming session and the idea ended up running parallel to an idea of one of the primary stakeholders - and thus the Derby Hatterizer was born.
I did a little bit of digging to see if anyone else had produced a similar product. I did this to see if there would be any overlap in the product that we were creating. I also wanted to see what was successful about similar projects and to see if I could learn from any pitfalls in the competitor’s project. In this case the Indy Star had previously produced a similar interactive featuring the Indiana Colt’s quarterback’s neck-beard, or, “Neard". Screen capture below:
From this analysis I was able to see that once the user went through the process of uploading their photo and placing the beard on their face, in order to share their photo they were required to download the image to their local drive and the manually upload to Facebook. This was simply too bulky and added too many stress points on the user. I knew going forward in the design of our interactive the process of taking/uploading the image and sharing to social media had to be more streamlined.
I also did a competitive analysis on a few high-end fashion website that sold hats to see if anyone had tackled the complex task of placing a simulated hat on an uploaded image.
Coming out of the brainstorm sessions we knew we wanted to have a mobile and desktop experience, so I created a series of sketches to get a feel for the layout and overall UX of the interactive.
Since the stakeholders decided that they wanted to focus on the desktop version of the interactive and then complete the mobile version after the desktop was completed, I decided that I would design the desktop version for a screen size of 1024x768. This ensured that if time didn't allow for the mobile version we would at least be able to have the interactive viewed on tablet as well as desktop.
I created high-fidelity mockups at several key interaction points. Our developer then started coding the interactive based on our discussions of usability, the low fidelity wireframes and these higher fidelity mockups. I would have preferred that we create lower fidelity prototypes and completed task analysis usability testing, however, time constraints did not allow it.
I also created a high fidelity interactive mockup using inVision so the Courier-Journal advertising department could show potential sponsors.
After the high fidelity prototype was completed (basically a Beta version of the project), I was then able to complete a few unmoderated usability tests.
I presented the stakeholders with some of the findings from the usability testing and proposed alterations to the digital product. I then took the key insights from the usability testing and implemented some changes within the product. Notably after a heuristic review I noticed that we were fighting an uphill battle with our icons. I clarified some of the iconography and made a few adjustments to how the user manipulated the hat objects. Once the major revisions were made to stakeholders’ acceptance we launched the product.
Due to time constraints and other projects that the Courier-Journal wanted to launch for the Kentucky Derby coverage, the stakeholders opted to forego the mobile version.
The product received over 1500 unique views to the page. There were numerous submissions to the CJ curated gallery, and many Facebook shares. Overall a successful project; however, I regret not pushing the for a mobile-first development of this project. Many users approached me about the product and mentioned that they were trying to use the product from their phone and mentioned difficulties using the interactive from their mobile device. Going forward I will both be thinking of, and encouraging a mobile-first implementation on our digital products.

Arrays
Think of an array as an empty bucket. Whenever you want it, you just pick it up and toss whatever you'd like in it. In Ruby, all you need to do is name the bucket and either leave it as empty for future use or name the bucket and say what you want to put it in it. You can put strings, numbers, more arrays, hashes, etc. Arrays can hold pretty much anyhting. You can create an empty array one of two ways:
Method 1:
new_array = []
Method 2:
new_array = Array.new()
Similarly, you can add values to an array at the same time as you create it. Like so:
new_array = ["cat", "hat", "bat"]
To access an item in your array, you type the number where the item is located in the array in brackets after the array. Remember that arrays are numbered starting from 0. So in the above example, to access "cat" you would type:
> new_array = ["cat","hat", "bat"]
=> ["cat", "hat", "bat"]
> new_array[0]
=> "cat"
> new_array[1]
=> "hat"
> new_array[2]
=> "bat"
> new_array[3]
=> nil
Arrays come with their own set of methods from the class Array. In addition, you can add two arrays as well as subtract them. Adding arrays will put all the values of the two arrays into one array. Subtracting one array from a second array will return all the items of the first array that were not in the second array. Lastly, you can find all common items of two arrays by joining them with an ampersand (&) likes so:
>[1,2,3]&[2,3,4]
=> [2,3]
Arrays have many more methods that come with their class. Check them out.
Hashes
Hashes are very similar to arrays in that they both store data. The main difference is that hashes store their data through the use of "keys" and "values" while arrays store their data by using indices. So all data in a hash is a value and every value has a key. Making a hash is similar to making a new array. Only difference is the use of squiggly brackets {} instead of square [] that are used for arrays:
> new_hash = Hash.new
=> {}
> new_hash = {}
=> {}
To match a value to a key when creating a new hash, you use the hash rocket (=>) like so:
favorite_athletes = {"football" => "Tom Brady", "basketball" => "Michael Jordan", "baseball" => "Derek Jeter"}
Hashes are good to use when you have more data or data within data that you need to store.


Prime numbers
A prime number is a natural number having exactly two factors, the "1" and itself. For example, prime numbers are "2", "3", "5", "7", "11", ...
If you want to learn more about prime numbers, then click here (Wikipedia) or read in the CT Book.

Shopify SDK for Unity
|
This repo contains an example of how to use the Shopify SDK for Unity (https://github.com/Shopify/unity-buy-sdk). The SDK allows Unity developers to sell products from their Shopify store (https://www.shopify.ca/) directly within games and other interactive experiences made within Unity.
To get started, either checkout this project using Git, or download as a zip. The project can be opened in the Unity editor, a free trial version is available here https://store.unity.com/download?ref=personal. The Shopify SDK for Unity functionality is integrated as a shop within a pop up menu. The Shopify SDK for Unity has already been included into this example, but in general, an integration is started by downloading and including the https://github.com/Shopify/unity-buy-sdk/blob/master/shopify-buy.unitypackage into the target project.
The example is comprised of a shop popup menu which demonstrates the usage of the Shopify SDK for Unity. While it is entirely possible to do a complete integration from scratch, the shop popup from this example can also be directly included into your game, and later tweaked to match a visual style. For information on how to get the example shop popup integrated into a game in a few steps, please see the quickstart tutorial.
For more details on how the example was created, and detailed steps that can be followed for integrating the Shopify SDK for Unity into other games, please see the full tutorial.


New Bike Parts
I’ve picked up some new bike bits over the Christmas period that I’ve finally got sorted and fixed to my bike.
Brooks Saddle
The first part I got hold of was a new saddle. I wasn’t after one, but this came up for a price that was entirely reasonable so I decided to snap it up.
I’d been considering getting a Brooks Cambium saddle for the Verenti for a while - it was either that or a Charge Spoon. I’ve a Cambium on my Brompton since they were released and I released that I wasn’t going to get on with a Charge Spoon on my Brompton. If I was going to get one for the Verenti, I wanted it to be a black one to match the colour scheme, but this one was going for a song compared to brand new so I thought I’d let the colour scheme suffer for a bit.
The Spoon is what I’ve got on my Dawes and it’s the same saddle I’ve had for quite a while. I think I’ve moved it from my first bike I bought from when I got my first bike after years off the bike back in 2011. It’s been extremely comfortable, with the exception of my Brompton. I’ve used it on road and off road and it’s performed excellently in each type. Now that I see that they offer a camo version of the Spoon, I might have to reconsider my Brooks purchase….
Alpkit Fuel Pod
Alpkit are an outdoor equipment designer and retailer. I’ve purchased a few items them recently and I’ve been incredibly impressed with the price and quality of the items they have.
For my Dawes, I have a Carradice Super C Audax Saddlebag that I carry around my puncture repair kit and assorted other items I may take out on a ride (though I’m beginning to think that a rack bag might be a better option for the Dawes). I’ve nothing that’s similar on the Verenti, so I decided to get myself an Alpkit Fuel Pod.
This will let me hold my keys and/or phone to hand in case I need it for whatever reason.
However, since putting this on, I’ve done a ride with the bag on and I’ve come to the conclucsion that I wont get on with it - at least not on this bike. It was geting in the way slightly when I would have to get off the saddle to get up hills.
Final Product
I’ve a few extra bits that I’ve purchased that have yet to make it onto the bike as well - I’ve got some mudgaurds that need fitting and I’ve new pedals (platforms, as I’m moving away from the cleats). They’ll be fitted when I have the time to do so.

 We all know it intuitively. But what exactly do we mean by that? And how can we deal with it? How can we incorporate it into our models?
This is one of the most important modules in this course. But it is not in the Gotelli book, nor is it in highlighted in most ecology textbooks.
There are two major reasons we can be uncertain. Either we lack sufficient knowledge or the system itself is variable and unpredictable. Let’s explore these two types of uncertainty.
You lack sufficient knowledge. This is also known variously as sampling uncertainty, parameter uncertainty, structural uncertainty, and more. If you collected more data you could in principle make a better model that more closely represents reality.
The system is inherently unpredictable. This is also known as randomness or stochasticity. No matter how much we study a coin, we will not be able to predict outcome of a coin flip any better than 50-50 (at least let’s just say that’s the case for now). Ecological systems have inherent variability. We can’t predict with certainty whether or not an individual will mate, or die. We can’t really even be certain whether next year or the year after that will be a good year or a bad year for offspring production or mortality in general!
The key is to embrace uncertainty. As population ecologists, we have three major tools to help us manage and account for uncertainty in our study systems:
Second, we usually can’t predict whether an individual will live or die, breed or not breed (whether an individual will “get lucky” so to speak!)? We might know the per-capita probability of breeding, or the probability of dying, or the per-capita rate of offspring production, or the probability of a given offspring being female. But when it comes to projecting who lives and dies, who gives birth and who doesn’t, how many females are born, we just can’t know for sure. This is an example of a system being inherently unpredictable. In population ecology this is called demographic stochasticity. In this case, the tool we use is computer-simulated “coin flipping”.
Third, we usually can’t predict whether next year or the year after will be a good one or a bad one for a population- that is, whether the per-capita vital rates (e.g., \(b\), or \(d\) or \(r\)) will be more or less optimal year-to-year (whether a population will “get lucky”, so to speak). This is another example of a system being inherently unpredictable. In population ecology this is called environmental stochasticity. In this case, the tool we use is randomly varying vital-rates.
To incorporate uncertainty and randomness into our models, we need to include stochastic components so that each model run (replicate) – or each year of each model run – is different from one another. That is, we need to include at least one random number generator in our models! A random number generator is like a box of (potentially infinite) possible numbers – a lottery ball machine for example! Each time we want a new number we reach in and pull one out, record the number, put it back in and shake it up again.
Every random-number generator has a distribution. This is a way of defining what exactly is in the box. For example, the box might have 10 “ones”, 5 “twos”, and 2 “threes”. In this case the distribution looks like this (probability of each possibility):
A probability distribution can be pretty much anything you want it to be. However, there are several key distributions that come up again and again in nature, and we should know them!
In discrete distributions, each outcome has a specific probability (like the probability of flipping a coin 10 times and getting 4 heads). For example, let’s consider a binomial distribution
Another discrete distribution we will use in this class is the Poisson distribution:
In continuous distributions, there is an infinite set of possibilities in our random-number box.
Let’s consider the uniform distribution:
lower = 0
upper = 10
curve(dunif(x,lower,upper),0,10,ylab="Probability (density)",xlab="Possibilities",main="Uniform distribution (continuous)",ylim=c(0,1)) # probability density
This isn’t a very intersting looking distribution. All possible numbers from 0 to 10 are equally probable.
Another continuous distribution you should know is called the Normal distribution. This distribution has a lower bound of \(-\infty\) and an upper bound of \(\infty\).
Q What population parameter might this distribution be useful for modeling?
mean = 7.1
stdev = 1.9
curve(dnorm(x,mean,stdev),0,15,ylab="Probability (density)",xlab="Possibilities",main="Normal distribution (continuous)") # probability density
Another continuous distribution you should know is called the Lognormal distribution. This distribution has a lower bound of zero and an upper bound of \(\infty\).
Q What population parameter might this distribution be useful for modeling?
meanlog = 1.4
stdevlog = 0.6
curve(dlnorm(x,meanlog,stdevlog),0,15,ylab="Probability (density)",xlab="Possibilities",main="Lognormal distribution (continuous)") # probability density
Another continuous distribution you should know is called the Beta distribution. This distribution has a lower bound of zero and an upper bound of 1.
Q What population parameter might this distribution be useful for modeling?
shape1 = 10
shape2 = 4
curve(dbeta(x,shape1,shape2),0,1,ylab="Probability (density)",xlab="Possibilities",main="Beta distribution (continuous)") # probability density
Let’s play around with distributions a little using R- you can access a web-based version of R called R-fiddle.
Note that all these distributions are also available to you in InsightMaker.

Note that R random number generators start with the letter “r” – for “random”.
The first argument represents how many random numbers you want R to draw from the specified distribution.
The following arguments represent the parameters of the random distribution you wish to draw from.
### Binomial random number generator
rbinom(1,size=10,prob=0.5) # note: "size" is the number of coin flips, and "prob" is the probability of coming up heads
### Poisson random number generator
rpois(1,lambda=4.1) # note: "lambda" represents the poisson mean (and variance!)
### Uniform random number generator
runif(1,min=1,max=3.5) # "min" and "max" are pretty obvious!
### Normal random number generator
rnorm(1,mean=3,sd=4.1) # normal distribution is defined by "mean" and "sd" (standard deviation).
### lognormal random number generator (like normal distribution, but can not go below zero)
rlnorm(1,meanlog=0.5,sdlog=0.2) # lognormal distribution is defined by "meanlog", the mean of the log-transformed random variable and "sd" (standard deviation of the log-transformed random variable).
### beta random number generator (bounded between 0 and 1- just like survival rate!)
rbeta(1,shape1=10,shape2=3) # beta distribution is defined by "shape1" and "shape2", which together define the mean and spread within the range from 0 to 1.
Finally, you can make up your own distribution!
distribution <- c(5,3,5,4,3,6,4,5,5,1,6,5,4,3,6,6,4,2,8,4,4,5,2)
hist(distribution,freq = F, ylab="Probability",xlab="Possibilities") # visualize distribution
sample(distribution,1) # take one random sample from this distribution!
## [1] 4
These concepts (like everything in this class) are best understood by worked examples.
Let’s start with a basic exponentially growing population that looks something like this:
Set Birth rate equal to 0.4 and Death rate equal to 0.3. Set initial abundance at 10. Under the “Settings” menu set the model to run for 10 years. Make sure your Population stock can not go negative (this is a setting in the configurations panel). Hit “Simulate”- you should see exponential growth!
Parameter uncertainty: What if we have imperfect knowledge about birth rate? The birth rate could be anything from 0.2 to 0.5. Run the model with the lowest and the highest possible birth rate.
Now use the “Compare Results” tool (under the “Tools” menu in the upper right corner…) to visualize the range of possible population growth trajectories that would be possible given our uncertainty about birth rate.
Q What is the range of possible final abundances after 10 years?
Q Should we study this system more if we want to know whether the population is growing or declining??
Set Birth rate back to 0.4. Hit “Simulate”- make sure you still see exponential growth!
We will use a Binomial distribution to represent the number of mortalities. That is, we flip a coin the same number of times as there are individuals in the population. If the coin comes up heads, then the individual dies. In this case we are using a biased coin- it only comes up heads 30% of the time! The Binomial distribution essentially represents the number of times heads came up. To do this in InsightMaker, use the following formula for the Deaths flow:
RandBinomial([Population], [Death rate])
In plain english: the number of deaths is equal to the number of “coin flips” that come out heads if the probability of getting heads is equal to [Death rate] and the number of flips is equal to [Abundance].
For the total births, \(B\) we will use the Poisson distribution. The Poisson distribution is often use to represent births, because there could feasibly be more births than there are individuals currently in the population (e.g., if all individuals have two offspring!). This would not be possible with a binomial distribution! That is, the maximum number of “heads” (you can always think of binomial distributions as coin-flipping!) is the total number of individuals.
To do this in InsightMaker, use the following formula for the Births flow:
RandPoisson([Population]*[Birth rate])
In plain english: the number of births is a random draw from a Poisson random number generator with mean equal to the expected number of births ([Population]*[Birth rate]).
Correction, 2/28/2017: I identified a bug with the Poisson distribution in InsightMaker- it doesn’t work when the expected number of offspring exceeds about 750! So until they fix the bug, you would need to use an IF-THEN-ELSE statement to use the Poisson only where their algorithm actually works!
Correction, 3/1/2017: The bug has been fixed!
Use the “Sensitivity Testing” tool (in the “Tools” menu, upper right corner) to run the model 50 times. Choose [Population] as the “Monitored Primitive”.
Change the initial abundance to 500 and re-run the “Sensitivity Testing” tool.
Q Is the effect of demographic stochasticity bigger at low or high abundances?
RandNormal(0.4, 0.4)
Similarly, use the following formula for the Death Rate variable:
RandNormal(0.3, 0.3)
Use the “Sensitivity Testing” tool (in the “Tools” menu, upper right corner) to run the model 50 times. Choose [Population] as the “Monitored Primitive”.
Change the initial abundance to 500 and re-run the “Sensitivity Testing” tool.
Q Is the effect of environmental stochasticity bigger at low or high abundances?
For birth rate, this can be done like this:
Max(0,RandNormal(0.4, 0.4))
You could also use an IF-THEN-ELSE statement to do this…
Q Can you modify survival rate to constrain the random number between 0 and 1?
Re-run the model with the modified/constrained random vital rates.
Q (harder question!) Under what circumstances can you envision small populations being more vulnerable to environmental stochasticity than large populations?


steal('can/util', function(can){
var bubble = can.bubble = {
Helpers that enable bubbling of an event on a child object to a parent event on a parent object. Bubbling works by listening on the child object and forwarding events to the parent object.
Bubbling is complicated because bubbling setup can happen before or after items are added to the parent object.
This means that:
bubble.events controls which events setup bubbling.
steal('can/util', function(can){
var bubble = can.bubble = {
Called when an event is bound to an object. This should setup bubbling if this is the first time an event that bubbles is bound.
bind: function(parent, eventName) {
if (!parent.__inSetup ) {
var bubbleEvents = bubble.events(parent, eventName),
len = bubbleEvents.length,
bubbleEvent;
if(!parent._bubbleBindings) {
parent._bubbleBindings = {};
}
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
bubbleEvent = bubbleEvents[i];
If there isn’t a bubbling setup for this binding, bubble all the children; otherwise, increment the number of bubble bindings.
if (!parent._bubbleBindings[bubbleEvent]) {
parent._bubbleBindings[bubbleEvent] = 1;
bubble.childrenOf(parent, bubbleEvent);
} else {
parent._bubbleBindings[bubbleEvent]++;
}
}
}
},
Called when an event is unbound from an object. This should teardown bubbling if there are no more bubbling event handlers.
unbind: function(parent, eventName) {
var bubbleEvents = bubble.events(parent, eventName),
len = bubbleEvents.length,
bubbleEvent;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
bubbleEvent = bubbleEvents[i];
if (parent._bubbleBindings ) {
parent._bubbleBindings[bubbleEvent]--;
}
if (parent._bubbleBindings && !parent._bubbleBindings[bubbleEvent] ) {
delete parent._bubbleBindings[bubbleEvent];
bubble.teardownChildrenFrom(parent, bubbleEvent);
if(can.isEmptyObject(parent._bubbleBindings)) {
delete parent._bubbleBindings;
}
}
}
},
Called when a new child
value has been added to parent
.
If the parent
is bubbling and the child is observable,
setup bubbling on the child to the parent. This calls
teardownFromParent
to ensure we aren’t bubbling the same
child more than once.
add: function(parent, child, prop){
if(child instanceof can.Map && parent._bubbleBindings) {
for(var eventName in parent._bubbleBindings) {
if( parent._bubbleBindings[eventName] ) {
bubble.teardownFromParent(parent, child, eventName);
bubble.toParent(child, parent, prop, eventName);
}
}
}
},
addMany: function(parent, children){
for (var i = 0, len = children.length; i < len; i++) {
bubble.add(parent, children[i], i);
}
},
Called when a child

Bus crew held after fisticuffs over time slots
They allegedly stop buses on middle of road, disrupting traffic
by Staff ReporterThe Eloor police have arrested four private bus crew members after they allegedly resorted to fisticuffs over time slots in the middle of the road at Pattupurakkal Junction around 3 p.m.
The arrested are Gireesh, 31, and Ajmal, 20, of Panayikkulam, employees of a bus operating on the Methanam-Thevara Ferry route, and Nizar, 25, and Manzoor, 26, siblings from Vennala and employees of a bus operating on the Methanam-Fort Kochi route.
Traffic was disrupted for nearly half-an-hour as they fought after stopping buses blocking the road. The police took both the buses into custody and eased traffic.
The accused were charged with IPC Section 283 (Danger or obstruction in public way or line of navigation) and 160 (Committing affray). They were released on station bail.

Jesús Rodriguez continues his excellent series of posts on the new features of the .NET 3.0 Adapter Framework (aka WCF adapter framework) included in BizTalk server 2006. This time, he covers some of the facilities available for generating metadata in Line of Business (LOB) adapters like SAP or SQL Server. Worth a look.
On a related note, Jesús also mentioned that his employeer, Two Connect, recently released their new SSIS tasks for SalesForce.com, which complement their existing Salesforce BizTalk Adapter. Cool Stuff.


Why the police helicopter was over Jowett in Lakeside, Tamworth
The National Police Air Service helicopter was called in, along with colleagues from the fire and rescue service, to use heat seeking equipment to search the area as a precaution.
by Daniel Newbould, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/daniel-newbould/The National Police Air Service helicopter was called to Tamworth after reports of a driver falling in water following a crash.
The incident happened off Jowett in Lakeside on Friday night (November 8).
Staffordshire Police said: “We received a report at around 9pm on November 8 of a collision involving a single vehicle on Glascote Road in Tamworth.
“The driver left the scene before officers arrived and was thought to have fallen into a body of water nearby.
“The National Police Air Service helicopter was called in, along with colleagues from the fire and rescue service, to use heat seeking equipment to search the area as a precaution.
“Despite a thorough search, no trace of the driver was found.
“Enquiries to find the driver continue.”
West Midlands Ambulance Service confirmed: “We were called at 9.38pm to a location off Jowett to reports of someone falling in a lake or body of water.
“We sent one ambulance, two paramedic officers and the Hazardous Area Response Team (HART). After an extensive search of the area nothing was found and we were stood down.”

A flexible calendar component for angular 4.0+ that can display events on a month, week or day view. Built with angular-calendar.
{{ modalData?.action }}
{{ modalData?.event | json }}


Spark also supports pulling data sets into a cluster-wide in-memory cache. This is very useful when data is accessed repeatedly, such as when querying a small dataset or when running an iterative algorithm like random forests. Since operations in Spark are lazy, caching can help force computation. Sparklyr tools can be used to cache and uncache DataFrames. The Spark UI will tell you which DataFrames and what percentages are in memory.
By using a reproducible example, we will review some of the main configuration settings, commands and command arguments that can be used that can help you get the best out of Spark’s memory management options.
The 2008 and 2007 Flights data from the Statistical Computing site will be used for this exercise. The spark_read_csv supports reading compressed CSV files in a bz2 format, so no additional file preparation is needed.
if(!file.exists("2008.csv.bz2"))
{download.file("http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/2008.csv.bz2", "2008.csv.bz2")}
if(!file.exists("2007.csv.bz2"))
{download.file("http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/2007.csv.bz2", "2007.csv.bz2")}
A local deployment will be used for this example.
library(sparklyr)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
# Install Spark version 2
spark_install(version = "2.0.0")
# Customize the connection configuration
conf <- spark_config()
conf$`sparklyr.shell.driver-memory` <- "16G"
# Connect to Spark
sc <- spark_connect(master = "local", config = conf, version = "2.0.0")
In the spark_read_… functions, the memory argument controls if the data will be loaded into memory as an RDD. Setting it to FALSE means that Spark will essentially map the file, but not make a copy of it in memory. This makes the spark_read_csv command run faster, but the trade off is that any data transformation operations will take much longer.
spark_read_csv(sc, "flights_spark_2008", "2008.csv.bz2", memory = FALSE)
In the RStudio IDE, the flights_spark_2008 table now shows up in the Spark tab.
To access the Spark Web UI, click the SparkUI button in the RStudio Spark Tab. As expected, the Storage page shows no tables loaded into memory.
Using the pre-processing capabilities of Spark, the data will be transformed before being loaded into memory. In this section, we will continue to build on the example started in the Spark Read section
The following dplyr script will not be immediately run, so the code is processed quickly. There are some check-ups made, but for the most part it is building a Spark SQL statement in the background.
flights_table <- tbl(sc,"flights_spark_2008") %>%
mutate(DepDelay = as.numeric(DepDelay),
ArrDelay = as.numeric(ArrDelay),
DepDelay > 15 , DepDelay < 240,
ArrDelay > -60 , ArrDelay < 360,
Gain = DepDelay - ArrDelay) %>%
filter(ArrDelay > 0) %>%
select(Origin, Dest, UniqueCarrier, Distance, DepDelay, ArrDelay, Gain)
sdf_register will register the resulting Spark SQL in Spark. The results will show up as a table called flights_spark. But a table of the same name is still not loaded into memory in Spark.
sdf_register(flights_table, "flights_spark")
The tbl_cache command loads the results into an Spark RDD in memory, so any analysis from there on will not need to re-read and re-transform the original file. The resulting Spark RDD is smaller than the original file because the transformations created a smaller data set than the original file.
tbl_cache(sc, "flights_spark")
The plan is to read the Flights 2007 file, combine it with the 2008 file and summarize the data without bringing either file fully into memory.
spark_read_csv(sc, "flights_spark_2007" , "2007.csv.bz2", memory = FALSE)
The union command is akin to the bind_rows dyplyr command. It will allow us to append the 2007 file to the 2008 file, and as with the previous transform, this script will be evaluated lazily.
When receiving a collect command, Spark will execute the SQL statement and send the results back to R in a data frame. In this case, R only loads 24 observations into a data frame called all_flights.
all_flights <- all_flights %>%
collect()
Now the smaller data set can be plotted
ggplot(data = all_flights, aes(x = Month, y = n/1000, fill = factor(Year))) +
geom_area(position = "dodge", alpha = 0.5) +
geom_line(alph a = 0.4) +
scale_fill_brewer(palette = "Dark2", name = "Year") +
scale_x_continuous(breaks = 1:12, labels = c("J","F","M","A","M","J","J","A","S","O","N","D")) +
theme_light() +
labs(y="Number of Flights (Thousands)", title = "Number of Flights Year-Over-Year")

In Spring 2015, I was totally attractted by the educational system of U.S. Universities. I noticed the opportunity to change my major by joining one of the U.S. Universities. From Summer 2015, I started preparing all the materials from scratch, and in Fall 2015, I was successfully admitted by Rutgers University. I luckily declared my major as two of my favorate subjects: mathematics and computer science. My next goal is to pursue a Ph.D. in the area of data science, and particular focus on using my computational skill to solve societal and healthcare issues.

DR. AKAGI
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. Kino International Director: Shohei Imamura Writer: Shohei Imamura, Daisuke Tengan Cast: Akira Emoto, Kumiko Aso, Juro Kara, Masanori Sera, Jacques Gamblin, Keiko Matsuzaka, Misa Shimizu, Yukiya Kitamura, Masato Yamada, Tomoro Taguchi, Masato Ibu
If you were seriously ill, there are two physicians you'd do well to avoid: Patch Adams and Agaki Fuu. Yet the two doctors introduced to the movie public in 1998--the first by director Tom Shadyac, the latter by the great Shohei Imamura--are both treated as heroes. And they are indeed, if you discount their ability to heal. In "Patch Adams," considered by one critic to be the most vulgarly sentimental film by a major Hollywood studio since "Love Story" was offered in 1970, not one foot of film displayed the title character's actually treating an illness. "Dr. Akagi," by contrast, is brimming with shots of injections, incisions, and research with a microscope, but because its title figure administers to his patients as though they all had hepatitis, he is not likely to cure his sufferers--except perhaps metaphorically. The American doctor who to this day heads an institute in Virginia that treats patients at no charge and the Japanese practitioner whose career spanned the years of World War II have two things in common: One, they made people laugh, although Akagi's public rather snickered as he ran by and called him a quack. Two, they were more compassionate, more accepting of human frailty, than the general population. Though the characters in the Robin Williams movie are not explored in any particular depth, those in the Japanese account are surveyed perceptively. By doing this, director Imamura is able to show his audience what it means to accept humanity in all its measure.
Dr. Akagi (Akira Emoto) is a physician in a Japanese seaside community concerned with what he sees as an epidemic of hepatitis during the final months of World War II. He is nicknamed Dr. Liver by those who consider him a quack.  The 72-year old director, Shohei Imamura (whose father was a doctor), is far more attentive to Akagi's goodness, his benevolence and acceptance of the human condition. Accommodating Ango Sakaguchi's novel to the screen, Imamura presents Akagi as a man who literally runs from one emergency appointment to another, in one case leaping from his office to an island he had never heard of at the plea of a dying man's frantic daughter.  The dissolute members of his team agree to give up their vices, but people being what they are, they cannot. When Sonoko is asked to stop selling herself altogether, she replies that she sees men "hardly ever." For his part Toriumi swears that his relationship with morphine is that "I hardly use it anymore."
Imamura, whose recent works include a story about a paroled wife-killer whose obsessive relationship to his pet eel is not wholly explained, is not too concerned with analyzing the psychological bases of his people's demands. We do know that Akagi has intermittent nightmares that his son, a doctor at the front, is performing dire medical experiments on live subjects who have been captured by the Japanese army. This small clue is, however, the key to an understanding of the film's metaphor. Akagi appears distressed by what he considers his son's immorality and, by extension, the indecency of the Japanese fighting machine and of war itself. Humankind's addiction to conflict is like liver disease: an epidemic that spreads indiscriminately, a moral sickness which never goes away.  While the good doctor believes in what he considers the Japanese cause--to free Asia from Western colonialism--he nonetheless fumes at the runaway nationalism that has led to armed combat.
The prostitute Sonoko is the comic center of the movie. Played with great charm and humanity by Kumiko Aso, this doctor's assistant is not at all skeptical or negative about her trade. In her own innocent and untutored way, she loves men, and deals with her profession as quite the honorable way to support her sister and brother.
Exquisitely acted and photographed with a true feeling for life in a village largely untouched by Allied bombing, "Dr. Akagi" happily does not pass moral judgment on the small people with whom the movie deals but rather condemns the authoritarian government that has made wholesale slaughter inevitable.

Not sure whether joke suggestion: one top-level directory per arXiv primary category.
lol they are all physics
https://arxiv.org/archive/math
I had in mind https://arxiv.org/archive/math, though one could include at least the CS ones as well
which one is data
?
there's always math.GM - General Mathematics, though it's not totally clear to me that data
should exist in the first place
though it's indeed unclear where many of the contents of data
would be categorized
one has to ask the question: why is [insert file name] not included in data/
?
I would broadly categorize it as "stuff useful for programming, but not meta"
I think we should reserve the /math.GM/
folder for crank contributions to mathlib, keeping with tradition. Maybe we could hardcode leanpkg to not compile math.GM unless you are a "contributor" to that folder?

commands for each service, these step are all the same.
Push the image to GCR:
make phpcs.push.image
Create the GKE cluster:
make phpcs.build.cluster
Deploy the GKE cluster:
make phpcs.deploy.cluster
Delete the GKE cluster:
make phpcs.clean.cluster


When they recieved the package, they put it with there other ones with the intention of opening them all later.

Speech
Education and Childcare Minister speaks about ensuring funding is fair, transparent, and based on pupils’ needs.
Thank you for that kind introduction.
It is a pleasure to be speaking to FASNA today. An organisation established by educationalists who wanted to take charge of their schools’ own destinies.
An organisation that recognises that autonomy drives innovation and pushes for ever higher standards for students.
And this government is committed to the very principles upon which you are founded.
Today, there are over 5,000 academies, free from local authority control, across England. And we are committed to moving toward full academisation during this Parliament - ensuring that every child has access to a school with the autonomy and freedoms, that you tirelessly champion, and that will allow pupils to flourish.
But, before I discuss the importance of our reforms to the role of the LA and schools funding, I would like to set out my position on something everyone is talking about right now and that’s Britain’s membership of the European Union.
It is better for Britain that we stay as part of the EU .
It will be better for British businesses to have full participation in the free trade single market - bringing jobs, investment, lower prices and financial security.
It will be safer because we can work closely with other countries to fight cross-border crime and terrorism.
We will be stronger because we can play a leading role in one of world’s largest organisations from within.
Helping to make the big decisions that affect us.
The task of reforming Europe does not end with the agreement secured by the Prime Minister.
But our special status gives us the best of both worlds - securing the benefits of being in the EU for families across the UK, but staying out of the parts of Europe that don’t work for us. So we will never join the Euro, be part of Eurozone bailouts or an EU super-state.
I believe that Britain is stronger, safer and better off in a reformed European Union. And I will continue to campaign for us to vote to remain.
But moving on, because - as we know - education is not an EU competence!
Realising potential and transforming education is central to this government’s mission of extending opportunity and delivering social justice.
The Spending Review was evidence of that: protecting core schools funding in real terms for the duration of this Parliament.
And this is a strong commitment because funding to schools is over £40 billion - the largest education budget given to primary and secondary schools in this country’s history.
That record level of funding has been driven by the additional funding we added to schools budgets through the pupil premium over the last Parliament. We are now delivering more than £2.5 billion a year to meet the Conservative manifesto commitment to target additional funding at the most disadvantaged students.
Larger budgets also mean an even greater imperative for us to ensure parents know that funding is being used in the best way possible to further their child’s life chances.
And I want to take this opportunity to thank sector groups for their constructive engagement with government to push this important topic further up the education agenda.
On Monday, the government announced the first stage of its consultation on fair funding . This is the first stage of our consultation as we seek views on the principles we use to design the formula, the building blocks we use to construct the formula, and the factors we include in the formula.
We want to develop a system of funding that is fair and transparent, with resources matched to pupils’ and schools’ needs consistently across the country.
This is a foundational element of the education system. It will be more important than ever to see the responses from across the education sector - helping us to make the right decisions on funding reform.
I look forward to seeing FASNA ’s response to the consultation, alongside other interested parties from across the entire education sector.
The government’s objective for education is straightforward: to deliver educational excellence everywhere. It is through this objective that we will deliver a highly educated society in which every child can reach their potential.
As the minister with responsibility for education funding, the word that focuses my attention the most is ‘everywhere’.
Everywhere means we must approach education with the aim to deliver a level playing field for all pupils. It must be an approach in which all our schools, teachers and, most importantly, pupils can reach their full potential.
And what do I mean by a level playing field everywhere?
It means:
It means a funding system that is wide-eyed to factors that impact educational success - be that special educational needs, disability or economic disadvantage.
I don’t think anyone really disagrees with those principles.
But despite this, the current arrangements for funding our pupils could not be more different. In the current system, the difference between the highest average rate of funding and the lowest rate of funding is nearly £3,000.
In the current system, the difference in a school’s annual budget - the same school, with the same pupils - can vary by up to £2.5 million depending on the school’s location within England.
That cannot be the right system of funding if we are serious about educational equity and teachers having the right resources to support pupils with the same educational needs. My question - and I’m sure your question also - is how have we possibly ended up with a funding system like this?
The wide variations are driven by local authorities who determine their own local formula. Formulae that are complex, opaque, but crucially very different from one another.
And as well as widely differing local formulae, local authorities are making decisions to transfer money between their budgets for schools, for special needs and for early years. Meaning that money allocated for schools may not reach frontline teachers.
This kind of decision-making is out of date, as more schools become academies, independent of local authority management and often operating in groups that cut across local authority boundaries and indeed regions.
And all of this is compounded by a system for allocating funding to each local authority area that is based, not on a calculation of local need, but by reference to local authority spending decisions that were made more than a decade ago, with no proper account of how circumstances have changed in that time. To say it another way: a year 7 pupil’s funding allocation is determined on educational needs in their area before they were even born.
But what do these points mean practically? It means the same child, in the same circumstances, can be funded vastly differently from one location to the next.
Right now, a parent that moved just a few miles from Haringey to Hackney would increase funding for their child by £1,000. Or choosing to educate your child in Darlington rather than Middlesbrough would be a difference of nearly £700.
And these are just 2 of the countless examples of the excessive funding variations, for the exact same child, that is evident across the whole of England.
Let me make my position clear:
We’ve ended up with so much inequity of funding because in many cases locally, the distribution of funding has been decided primarily to protect past funding levels, irrespective of changes in the needs of pupils from year to year.
Let me give you one more example: in Reading, students receive on average £4,000 per pupil. In Wakefield, a local authority with a lower proportion of students on free school meals and a lower proportion with additional language needs, each pupil receives £4,500.
Simply put: areas in which educational needs are lower are receiving more funding. As the IFS have acknowledged, the current system is one in which local authorities are not good at targeting funding towards the factors that influence educational needs such as disadvantage. Local authorities prefer, when designing their formula, to spread funding in the basic per pupil rate rather than targeting it at the pupils who deserve this additional funding - spreading the impact rather than targeting it at those with the highest needs in order to level the playing field.
It is a credit to your organisation that you continue to promote school autonomy across a system that is blatantly unfair to some of your schools.
Schools that work against the odds of the funding system and deliver outstanding outcomes for their students.
That is why it is this government’s intention to move toward a formula where we fund schools directly.
Removing the local authority middle man.
Placing funding directly in the hands of your outstanding school leaders who know how to use it best.
The principles of our funding reform are simple:
We need to rebalance funding so that historically under-funded pupils receive what they deserve. To help schools in those areas drive forward ever-improving student outcomes. Because we know that some schools have been resolute in their push for excellence in the absence of fair funding. In York, over 80% of schools are considered ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ despite it being one of the most poorly funded areas within the country.
This is proof enough that excellence can be achieved everywhere in a fairly funded system. But let me make one thing clear: fair doesn’t just mean equal. We know that funding must take account of differences in local area costs and local challenges. But fairness does mean that funding, everywhere in the country, should be dependent on need.
Let me stress this point again: when I think of funding reform, it is the pupil who is the front and centre. Our most important role is to ensure the right level of funding supports each and every pupil. Of course, schools and areas must be funded adequately, but our most important principle is to get the right level of funding to each pupil. We will achieve this by aligning our funding principles to educational needs.
And these points are recognised by the OECD who show that a well-designed funding formula can be the most efficient, stable and transparent method of funding schools. But, more importantly, one of its central recommendations is that funding must be responsive to students’ needs.
Funding equality achieved by funding those schools with similar characteristics at the same rate, and directing more funding to schools where pupils have higher educational needs. How can we believe in a level playing field with equality of opportunity when these disparities are common across the whole education funding system?
A national fair funding formula will realign our funding policy with the underlying objective of an educationally equal playing field.
Aligning funding to need - delivering educational excellence everywhere.
I am also pleased that sector bodies and unions across the whole of education have engaged constructively on these issues and offered their support. A campaign driven by the F40 to address the clear inequity in the system, and a campaign that is supported organisations such as the ASCL , the NAHT and FASNA .
But, I know that funding reform is about more than just the schools budget - because the same arguments apply to our funding for high needs.
However, this is - bluntly - a more difficult area than the schools budget. We know that students with special educational needs and/or disabilities need additional funding to help them achieve their potential.
But, it is more difficult to put into a formula because high needs are less predictable.
That is why we must design a system that recognises this and allocates money to local authorities transparently and fairly without perverse incentives.
But, this isn’t just about fairness for pupils. This is about fairness for parents - who tirelessly look after their children with additional needs to give them best education possible.
It isn’t fair to the pupils or the parents that funding, as of right now, is not strongly enough related to need.
ISOS research for the department identified large inequities in the system: in one local authority the average funding for a student with a statement or on school action plus was £15,000 but in another local authority it was less than £4,500. How can this be the right system of funding?
A child’s type of care and support should not be determined on geography alone. The pupil who requires a speech therapist in Surrey is no different to the pupil who needs that support in Liverpool.
In the system as it stands today, we have now has seen some local authorities who are underfunded struggling to implement the SEND reforms of the Children and Families Act introduced in 2014.
I want a system of high-needs funding that means parents know their child will have funding that properly reflects their needs and not a system of funding linked to what was spent by that local authority in the past.
Parents and their children with high needs deserve to know that the funding they need will be there irrespective of where they choose to live.
They deserve that security. They deserve that equality.
I think the case for change is very clear.
Local variation in funding has become so wide - that pupils are funded on the basis of geographic accident.
Funded as a result of history; not funded as a product of pupils needs.
We all agree that we cannot build opportunity that is equal for all children and young people in that kind of funding system.
That is why our national funding formula will be about fairness.
Individual pupils will be front and centre - ensuring that funding, in every school across the country, is best matched to pupils’ educational needs.
And through that, funding reform will be the foundation in ensuring educational excellence is achieved everywhere.
Thank you.

3. Finite Volume Method¶
Similar to other numerical methods, the Finite Volume Method (FVM) transforms a set of partial differential equations (PDE) into a system of linear algebraic equations. The discretization procedure used in the FVM involves two steps, namely
The integration of the PDE’s and their transformation into a form of the balance equations over a single element. This process involves modification of the integrals, both surface and volume, into discrete algebraic relations over elements.
In the second step, interpolation profiles are chosen to approximate the value of variables inside the element. Further on, these interpolation profiles are used to related the cell values to the surface values.
In tihs technical manual, we will give a brief overview of both the procedures. A more detailed technical outlook can be found in the literature, [MoMaDa2016] .
3.1. Semi-discretized equations¶
The conservation equation for any given general scalar variable \(\phi\) can be given as
where \(\rho\) is the density of the fluid, \(\mathbf{v}\) is the velocity vector. Considering the quasi-static flow, by dropping the transient term, and integrating over the volume of an element, we have
Using the divergence theorem, the above can be re-written in terms of surface integrals as
The above integral form requires the evaluation of the flux integration over the elemental faces for the convective and diffusion terms. This can be alternatively written as the summation of the flux terms over each of the individual faces of the element, i.e.
where \(n\left(\Omega\right)\) represents the number of faces of the element with volume \(\Omega\), \(\Gamma_i\) represents the \(i\)-th face of the element with volume \(\Omega\). The above form of discretization ensures the conservation of quantities. It is important to note that the quantities of interest are conservative in nature. These include mass, volume, energy etc. Thus, without the convervative properties, the overall solution process can lead to unphysical solutions. In other words, the flux across the face of two shared elements need to have equal magnitudes but of opposite signs. The flux leaving the face of the first element should be equal to the flux entering, through the face, into the second element.
The resulting integral equations, shown above, include surface integral over each face of the element. These integral equations need to be converted to algebraic equations and are hence further simplified using the Gaussian quadrature as
where \(\alpha\) represents the quantity of interest (here the advection or diffusion term), \(A_{\Gamma_i}\) represents the area of the face, \(\alpha_p\) represents the quantity of interest at the \(p-th\) integration point, \(w_p\) represents the weight at the \(p-th\) integration point. The accuracy of the integration depends on the number of integration points used. In the case of a 2-D problem, the faces are 1-D line units and the integration points are given as
One-integration point (or also known as Trapezoidal rule): \(\xi_{p} = 1\) and \(w_{p} = 1\)
Two-integration points: \(\xi_{1} = \left(3-\sqrt{3}\right)/6, \ \xi_{2} = \left(3+\sqrt{3}\right)/6\) and \(w_{1} = w_{2} = 1/2\).
Three-integration points: \(\xi_{1} = \left(5-\sqrt{15}\right)/10, \ \xi_{2} = 1/2, \ \xi_{3} = \left(5+\sqrt{15}\right)/10\) and \(w_{1} = 5/18, \ w_{2} = 4/9, \ w_{3} = 5/18\).
Similarly, the volume integration of the source term can be achieved using the Gaussian quadrature. Similar to the integration over the boundary, a volume integral need to be performed.
Once the PDE’s have been converted to a summation form above, it is necessary to express the face and volume fluxes in terms of the values of the variable at the neighboring cell centers or in otherwods, we need to linearize the fluxes.
3.2. Boundary conditions¶
3.3. Mesh topology¶
3.4. Volume of fluid method¶
Volume of Fluid (VOF) was orignially presented by [HiNi1981] and is used extensively in modeling of multiphase flows. In our simulation of tsunami / storm-surge, we are working with water and air. However, VOF method is not restricted to two fluids but can also be used in the case of multiple fluids.
The VOF method is a numerical technique commonly used to track the free surface formed by the fluid-to-fluid interface. While, by itself, it is not a standalone flow solver, it only tracks and shape and evolution of the surface. It is solved in conjunction with the motion of the flow, described in the earlier sections.
Philosophy of VOF method¶
VOF uses the concept of volume fraction to weakly couple the transport equation with the continuity and momentum equations.
For every cell in the CFD domain, a volume fraction between zero to one is assigned. For example, in our case of tsunami/storm surge modeling, the volume fraction of one represents water, while zero represents air. Or in otherwords, if a cell is filled with only water, the volume fraction in that cell is one. In contrast, if it is only filled with air, the volume fraction in that cell is zero. For any cell that might have a combination of both water and air, the volume fraction rests between zero to one. To summarize, the volume fraction represents how much of the cell is occupied by each phase. In the case of multiple fluids, there are multiple volume fractions that need to be tracked.
The volume fraction is a variable that enters through the transport equations and need to be specified as boundary and initial conditions. Thus, if we have multiple volume fractions, there are multiples of these that need to be considered as well.
Mathematical formulation¶
A detailed treatise on the topic of VOF method, in particular with OpenFOAM, can be found in [Beetal2009] . Here, we will give a brief description of the ensuing mathematical formulations.
In the conventional VOF method, we consider
Continuity equation:
Momentum equation:
Transport equation:
where \(0 \le \gamma \le 1\) is the phase fraction, \(\mathbf{T}\) is the deviatoric stress tensor and given as \(\mathbf{T} = 2\mu\varepsilon - \frac{2\mu}{3} \left( \nabla \cdot \mathbf{v} \right)\), and the strain is \(\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} \left( \nabla \cdot \mathbf{v} + \left( \nabla \cdot \mathbf{v} \right)^{T} \right)\), \(\mathbf{f}_{b}\) is the body forces per unit mass.
When the two fluids are considered immiscible, then they are considered as on effective fluid. The properties are calculated as the weighted average based on the distribution of the volume fractions. The properties are calculated as
Density: \(\rho = \rho_{\ell} \gamma + \rho_{g} \left(1-\gamma\right)\)
Viscosity: \(\mu = \mu_{\ell} \gamma + \mu_{g} \left(1-\gamma\right)\)
where \((\cdot)_{\ell}\) and \((\cdot)_{g}\) are the properties of the liquid and gas phase, respectively.However, in the case of flows with high-density ratios, it is possible that the conservation of phase fraction is not conserved. Violation of the phase conservation can lead to inaccurate phase distribution, surface curvature and thus corresponding pressure gradients across the free surface. However, unfortunately, it is not straight-forward to assure the conservativeness of the phase. It is not easy to determine the contributions of the velocity of each phase on the interface.
Thus, improper calculation of the surface curvature.
Points to note¶
One other aspect that needs to be considered is the effect of hydrostatic pressure. Thus, one also needs to consider which direction the gravity is pointed in.

Youth drowns as friends look on, take video of him
by Staff ReporterKALABURAGIA 22-year-old young man drowned in an abandoned stone quarry pit on the outskirts of Kalaburagi on Friday evening even as his friends looked on, and tooked a video of him. The victim was later identified as Jafar Ayub, a resident of Mijguri locality.
In the video clip that a friend of the victim took, Jafar, who was swimming in the pit, came close to the bank. But he missed the bank and also the hand of a friend who was waiting on the bank.
In the next few seconds, he is seen struggling in the water to come back to the bank again. He struggles and finally drowns as one of his friends looks on and the other continued to shoot the video.
As the news reached, police and fire personnel rushed to the spot and recovered the body. A case has been registered in Kalaburagi rural police station.
