The Anonymize Options ... button near the top of the main
window opens the window shown below. This window allows you to select which attributes should
be anonymized and what value they should have.
Attributes are only added to this list when they are encountered by
loading a file, so if this window is viewed before loading files, it will
show no attributes. This is by design as there are over 4000 DICOM attributes,
and displaying all of them would be a cumbersome user experience.
If an attribute is encountered multiple times within the same file, it will
be anonymized with the same value. The exception is unique (non-class) UIDs, which
are systematically replaced with newly generated UIDs that maintain consistency
across series.
The purpose of this screen is to give the user more control over what
is anonymized and the values used. In particular, if the user notes
that some fields unexpectedly contain PHI (Protected Health Information)
that should be anonymized, then that field may be marked for anonymization and
the corresponding field set to the value of their choice.
Changes made on this screen are only valid for the current program session.
The default list of DICOM attributes to be anonymized was derived from
the DICOM 2011 standard. In general, information that identifies the
patient, physicians, and treatment location are anonymized. The list
is defined in the configuration file.


My main triggers are not knowing how to start in the first place when I read an instruction and when I struggle to understand concepts. I feel like I'm never going to get there and feel like I'm not smart enough to code.
I found it quite confronting but in a good way. It was hard to go back into the situation I chose but kind of interesting to be an observer in my own experience. For respond, I also think a valuable strategy is to "act opposite" to how you are feeling. For example, if your body temperature is increasing (usually anger) then try to cool down. Feel like crying? Try to smile slightly each time you breathe in - your emotions take cues from your body as well. I like how this exercise allows for your own personal touch.

''An interesting expression of the kind of interaction tonus that lies behind the proper managment of personal appearance is found in the constant care exerted by men in our society to see that their trousers are buttoned and that an erection bulge is not showing. The difficulty of engaging in this kind of protective concealment is one of the contingencies apparently faced by men with leg paralysis.'' p. 58, Ervin Goffman, Behavior in Public Places, Free Press, London, 1963.

After reading all the reports here on BZP, I've noted that there seems to be a vast majority of people who really do not get along with the stuff, and suffer massively with terrible hangovers. I thought I'd write up my experience with the stuff to swing the balance the other way a bit.
I've had BZP 4 times now, in varying doses. The first time was 200mg of BZP, 100mg TFMPP. This, I've decided, is the optimum dosage for myself. The day in question was at a festival, and I was determined to get out of it without feeling too bad the next day (MDMA I love, but I've overdone it in the past. Now, it makes me feel like I've been run over by a bus the next day, and gives me mild depression for a week or so after that).
So anyway, I was recommended BZP by a guy at one of the herbal high tents they had there. I thought I'd try a low dose, so took 100mg BZP and 50mg TFMPP. After an hour or so I felt nice and warm and fuzzy inside, with a manageable euphoria. I wandered round the festival with my mates for a few hours, then my friend C turned up. C was enthusiastic to try the BZP as well, so we went back and bought some more. another 100mg BZP and 50mg TFMPP and my visual field was distorting all over the place, kind of like on a low dose of mushrooms. I felt very lucid, however, and in a great mood. I wouldn't say that it had the intensity of an MDMA buzz, but it was a good middle ground.
I had to catch a bus home at about 11pm (i'd taken the first BZP dose at about 2pm). I went home, stayed up for a couple of hours and watched the photos on the living room wall morphing about in a mushroomy fashion. Then I decided to go to bed, and slept well. I felt a bit sideways the next day, but nothing major, just a bit tired. I experienced none of the monster hangover that some people report after having BZP.
The next time I tried BZP was at a club. This time, I had a much larger dose. I took 200mg BZP and 100mg TFMPP, then took another 100mg BZP about 2 hours later. The only tangible difference I can remember from the higher dose was that the hallucinations were slightly more vivid, and that I experienced a fair bit of dizziness at times. None of this was bothersome though, I had a most fun time at the club.
The trouble with the higher dose was made apparent when I got home after the club. My mate C and I jabbered away to each other until about 6 in the morning, and then I decided to go to bed. It was very warm and humid, and my mind just wouldn't let me escape to sleep.  As it turned out though, although I was very tired the next day on account of no sleep, I got off quite lightly. I had a hangover-esque headache for a few hours in the late morning, but this soon faded. A few beers in the afternoon sun made me feel much better, and the evening was fine. Plus there was the added bonus of getting a really good nights sleep that night!
Since then I'd only ever have 200mg BZP and 100mg TFMPP spread out over a day, more of the stuff had little more effect other than keeping me awake longer. I like taking it quite early, because as I said the insomnia can be quite powerful with this stuff. I personally love the effects of BZP, it's like a nice mellow version of ecstasy with some pretty visuals thrown in for free. It's not the 'alternative' that certain people have made it out to be, but it's a damn good laugh nonetheless.
I wouldn't recommend mixing this drug with others. Alcohol in great quantity can be a bad idea, the two together dehydrated me quite badly. I wonder how many of the people who had a bad time with BZP mixed it with things like GHB.
Finally, if you've not done this stuff before, I'd suggest a low dose to start with. You only have to read the rest of these reports to realise that it really doesn't agree with some people.
But from me, I give it a hearty thumbs up! :)

This project implements the independent component analysis (ICA
) algorithm using Scala 2.11.8 and JRE 1.8.0_76 with IntelliJ 2016.1.2.
Original authors of the algorithm: Eric G. Learned-Miller, John W. Fisher III.
Independent component analysis is a search for a rotation of whitened multidimensional data (covariance matrix is the identity matrix) which increases the independence of the components (coordinates).
The rotation is chosen so as to minimize a contrast function. The contrast function is the sum of the marginal entropies
(entropies of the components) of the sample plus a constant. Therefore an entropy estimator has to be employed.
The original algorithm uses the Vasicek entropy estimator based on the order statistic which makes it necessary to sort
the components of the sample. This is O(n*log(n)) in the sample size n.
The Radical ICA algorithm performs an exhaustive search and is therefore naturally slow. Here an attempt is made to speed this up as much as possible. To this end a parallelized implementation is provided. In addition the empirical entropy estimator is provided as an alternative to the Vasicek estimator. The algorithm is
where dim is the dimension of the data. With a sample of size 30000 in dimension 6 the version using the empirical entropy estimator is more than 10 times faster (processor: core i5 5765C with 128MB L3 cache).
The two entropy estimators have been tested on a variety of distributions as follows: 1000 samples of size 30000 and 3000 are generated and the smaller sample padded to size 30000 as described in the original paper. The entropies of the samples are then computed with both estimators and mean and variance of the estimate computed. These values are then compared with the true entropy of the distribution generating the samples. In the test cases the two estimators show similar performance, see results.
However there are cases where the Vasicek estimator is significantly superior (see the introduction) and the current implementation
can be improved so that it adapts itself to the distribution (bin sorting, Professor Learned-Miller, personal communication) and is
fast when this is appropriate and slow when necessary. This remains to be implemented.

Animal shelters are way more than places to put stray animals. They help communities. Having animal shelters in the community is important because they provide homes for unwanted animals, provide people with new members to the family, and improve animal health. ... These animals need the love that they have lost when they came into the shelter.
All our animanls are vaccinated and fixed.


American Pie
Directed by Paul Weitz
Written by Adam Herz
Starring Jason Biggs, Shannon Elizabeth, Alyson Hannigan, Chris Klein, Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Tara Reid, Mena Suvari, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Seann William Scott, Jennifer Coolidge
As Reviewed by James Brundage (MovieKritic2000)
All right. I never saw Porky's, I missed Animal House, and the entire genre of sex comedy isn't really my forte, but I know good movies when I see them, and take it from me, American Pie is good on its own.
The funniest movie I have see so far this year (although that may change when I see South Park), American Pie is the story of the common high schooler on the common high school quest: to get laid. And, like any man faced with the prospect of unwillingly going to college a virgin, they are going out of their minds. So, in the morning after a beer party at which it appears everyone was having sex but them, the four (led by Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), who just lost his girlfriend over his desire to go all the way instead of settle for getting head.) make a pact to get laid by the prom. Of course, the funniest thing about this is the speech Kevin makes about the virtues of helping each other get laid --Sometimes, when you're exercising, you need a spotter, someone to make sure you keep going," he says. That, he proposes, is the function each of them will serve for one another.
Jim (Jason Briggs) attempts to go about this by helping a Chezch vixen, Nadia (Shannon Elizabeth) with her studies and offering to help in more obscene matters. When a netbroadcast goes terribly wrong, he turns to the already infamous flute-girl Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and if you don't know where the flute goes, you can be pleasantly surprised. Oz (Chris Klein), jock to the core, joins the choir to get girls like Jessica (Natasha Lyonne). Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) decides that he should learn how to return his girlfriend Vicky's (Tara Reid) favor. And finally Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) decides that the best way to go about getting laid is to pay Heather (Mena Suvari) to sing his sexual praises.
Like all plans that virgins have to deprive themselves of their predicament, they inevitably go awry. As in any comedy of errors, the how is the funny part, and thus I can't tell you. What I can tell you, however, is that the movie takes every crude joke it can get and then takes a few intelligent ones. For a good description, imagine There's Something about Mary with a pastry and a flute.
The film isn't for virgins, because they won't at all respect the jokes in there. American Pie, although over the top, is remarkably true-to-life as far as how we all grow up. It brings back memories of those awkward talks with Dad, those even more awkward moments of foreplay, the rumors, the insanity, and the crazy desire to act cool while you fail utterly. As far as any guy or girl past highschool goes: we've been there before.
Despite the fact that our own personal demons may be more or less frightening, and we may or may not want to revisit that bizarre quest to psychosexual maturity, American Pie's ability to strike a common chord is part of its great charm. Because we've been there before, we can get all the jokes, immediately relate to the characters (who represent all of the high school sets from jock to nerd), and love the movie all the more. The kids that had snuck in or were going with their carded friends or boyfriends didn't laugh nearly as much... or as hard... as everyone who was of age.
American Pie is this year's funniest sex comedy for sure and probably this years funniest film period. Crude, rude, and in the groove, it's not one to miss.

This page allows you to create the standard hexaflexagons with 3 or more sides using a "flex generating sequence", i.e. create the minimal necessary structure to allow the flexagon to carry out the given sequence of flexes. See "More info" at the bottom for background.
The technique used here is to apply a "flex generating sequence", i.e. create the minimal necessary structure to allow the flexagon to carry out the given sequence of flexes. This technique generalizes to a wide variety of flexagons and flexes. See Flexagon Theory for more background about flexes and flex generating sequences.
Most flexagon theory has been aimed at hexaflexagons and the pinch flex. Here are several references for the theory around pinch flexes:
Figuring out a flex generating sequence from a diagram such as the ones linked from the Hexaflexagons page is relatively straight forward because the diagrams capture a lot about how the pinch flex is applied. Pick a vertex to start on, then step between vertices, visiting every little triangle at least once. Every little triangle needs a P* in the sequence in order to create it, which basically means that you create the structure necessary to perform a single pinch flex. If you curve as you travel around the diagram, simply add "P*", but if you're traveling in a straight line, add "^ > P*". You may be able to visit every triangle once this way, but with some you may need to back up to a previous triangle before continuing on. One way to accomplish this is to follow a P* with P'.

It was a beautiful evening, so they drew their camp chairs in a circle before one of the tents and began to tell stories to amuse themselves and pass away the time before they went to bed.
Pretty soon a zebra was seen coming out of the forest, and he trotted straight up to them and said politely:
“Good evening, people.”
 His neatly shaped white body was covered with regular bars of dark brown, and his hoofs were delicate as those of a deer.
“Good evening, friend Zebra,” said Omby Amby, in reply to the creature’s greeting. “Can we do anything for you?”
“Yes,” answered the zebra. “I should like you to settle a dispute that has long been a bother to me, as to whether there is more water or land in the world.”
“Who are you disputing with?” asked the Wizard.
“With a soft-shell crab,” said the zebra.  I have told him many times that the land is much greater in extent than the water, but he will not be convinced. Even this very evening, when I told him he was an insignificant creature who lived in a small pool, he asserted that the water was greater and more important than the land. So, seeing your camp, I decided to ask you to settle the dispute for once and all, that I may not be further annoyed by this ignorant crab.”
When they had listened to this explanation Dorothy inquired:
“Where is the soft-shell crab?”
“Not far away,” replied the zebra. “If you will agree to judge between us I will run and get him.”
“Run along, then,” said the little girl.
So the animal pranced into the forest and soon came trotting back to them. When he drew near they found a soft-shell crab clinging fast to the stiff hair of the zebra’s head, where it held on by one claw.
 For they have been travelers all over the world, and know every part of it.”
“There is more of the world than Oz,” declared the crab, in a stubborn voice.
“That is true,” said Dorothy; “but I used to live in Kansas, in the United States, and I’ve been to California and to Australia and so has Uncle Henry.”
“For my part,” added the Shaggy Man, “I’ve been to Mexico and Boston and many other foreign countries.”
“And I,” said the Wizard, “have been to Europe and Ireland.”
“So you see,” continued the zebra, addressing the crab, “here are people of real consequence, who know what they are talking about.”
“Then they know there’s more water in the world than there is land,” asserted the crab, in a shrill, petulant voice.

At this taunt the crab reached out its other claw and seized the zebra’s ear, and the creature gave a cry of pain and began prancing up and down, trying to shake off the crab, which clung fast.
“Stop pinching!” cried the zebra. “You promised not to pinch if I would carry you here!”
“And you promised to treat me respectfully,” said the crab, letting go the ear.
“Well, haven’t I?” demanded the zebra.
“No; you called me a lobster,” said the crab.
 Also the pinch of his claw is very annoying. So pray tell him that the world contains more land than water, and when he has heard your judgment I will carry him back and dump him into his pool, where I hope he will be more modest in the future.”
“But we cannot tell him that,” said Dorothy, gravely, “because it would not be true.”
“What!” exclaimed the zebra, in astonishment; “do I hear you aright?”
“The soft-shell crab is correct,” declared the Wizard. “There is considerably more water than there is land in the world.”
“Impossible!” protested the zebra. “Why, I can run for days upon the land, and find but little water.”
“Did you ever see an ocean?” asked Dorothy.
“Never,” admitted the zebra. “There is no such thing as an ocean in the Land of Oz.”
“Well, there are several oceans in the world,” said Dorothy, “and people sail in ships upon these oceans for weeks and weeks, and never see a bit of land at all. And the joggerfys will tell you that all the oceans put together are bigger than all the land put together.”
At this the crab began laughing in strange chuckles that reminded Dorothy of the way Billina sometimes cackled.
“NOW will you give up, Mr. Zebra?” it cried, jeeringly; “now will you give up?”
The zebra seemed much humbled.
“Of course I cannot read geographys,” he said.
“You could take one of the Wizard’s School Pills,” suggested Billina, “and that would make you learned and wise without studying.”
The crab began laughing again, which so provoked the zebra that he tried to shake the little creature off. This resulted in more ear-pinching, and finally Dorothy told them that if they could not behave they must go back to the forest.
“I’m sorry I asked you to decide this question,” said the zebra, crossly. “So long as neither of us could prove we were right we quite enjoyed the dispute; but now I can never drink at that pool again without the soft-shell crab laughing at me. So I must find another drinking place.”
“Do! Do, you ignoramus!” shouted the crab, as loudly as his little voice would carry. “Rile some other pool with your clumsy hoofs, and let your betters alone after this!”
Then the zebra trotted back to the forest, bearing the crab with him, and disappeared amid the gloom of the trees. And as it was now getting dark the travelers said good night to one another and went to bed.
Dorothy awoke just as the light was beginning to get strong next morning, and not caring to sleep any later she quietly got out of bed, dressed herself, and left the tent where Aunt Em was yet peacefully slumbering.
Outside she noticed Billina busily pecking around to secure bugs or other food for breakfast, but none of the men in the other tent seemed awake. So the little girl decided to take a walk in the woods and try to discover some path or road that they might follow when they again started upon their journey.
She had reached the edge of the forest when the Yellow Hen came fluttering along and asked where she was going.
“Just to take a walk, Billina; and maybe I’ll find some path,” said Dorothy.
“Then I’ll go along,” decided Billina, and scarcely had she spoken when Toto ran up and joined them.
Toto and the Yellow Hen had become quite friendly by this time, although at first they did not get along well together. Billina had been rather suspicious of dogs, and Toto had had an idea that it was every dog’s duty to chase a hen on sight. But Dorothy had talked to them and scolded them for not being agreeable to one another until they grew better acquainted and became friends.
I won’t say they loved each other dearly, but at least they had stopped quarreling and now managed to get on together very well.
The day was growing lighter every minute and driving the black shadows out of the forest; so Dorothy found it very pleasant walking under the trees. She went some distance in one direction, but not finding a path, presently turned in a different direction. There was no path here, either, although she advanced quite a way into the forest, winding here and there among the trees and peering through the bushes in an endeavor to find some beaten track.
“I think we’d better go back,” suggested the Yellow Hen, after a time. “The people will all be up by this time and breakfast will be ready.”
“Very well,” agreed Dorothy. “Let’s see—the camp must be over this way.”
She had probably made a mistake about that, for after they had gone far enough to have reached the camp they still found themselves in the thick of the woods.  He couldn’t tell much about direction himself, because he had spent his time prowling among the bushes and running here and there; nor had Billina paid much attention to where they were going, being interested in picking bugs from the moss as they passed along. The Yellow Hen now turned one eye up toward the little girl and asked:
“Have you forgotten where the camp is, Dorothy?”
“Yes,” she admitted; “have you, Billina?”
“I didn’t try to remember,” returned Billina. “I’d no idea you would get lost, Dorothy.”
“It’s the thing we don’t expect, Billina, that usually happens,” observed the girl, thoughtfully. “But it’s no use standing here. Let’s go in that direction,” pointing a finger at random. “It may be we’ll get out of the forest over there.”
So on they went again, but this way the trees were closer together, and the vines were so tangled that often they tripped Dorothy up.
Suddenly a voice cried sharply:
“Halt!”
At first, Dorothy could see nothing, although she looked around very carefully. But Billina exclaimed:
“Well, I declare!”
“What is it?” asked the little girl: for Toto began barking at something, and following his gaze she discovered what it was.
A row of spoons had surrounded the three, and these spoons stood straight up on their handles and carried swords and muskets. Their faces were outlined in the polished bowls and they looked very stern and severe.
Dorothy laughed at the strange things.
“Who are you?” she asked.
“We’re the Spoon Brigade,” said one.
“In the service of his Majesty King Kleaver,” said another.
“And you are our prisoners,” said a third.
Dorothy sat down on an old stump and looked at them, her eyes twinkling with amusement.
“What would happen,” she inquired, “if I should set my dog on your Brigade?”
“He would die,” replied one of the spoons, sharply. “One shot from our deadly muskets would kill him, big as he is.”
“Don’t risk it, Dorothy,” advised the Yellow Hen. “Remember this is a fairy country, yet none of us three happens to be a fairy.”
Dorothy grew sober at this.
“P’raps you’re right, Billina,” she answered. “But how funny it is, to be captured by a lot of spoons!”
“I do not see anything very funny about it,” declared a spoon. “We’re the regular military brigade of the kingdom.”
“What kingdom?” she asked.
“Utensia,” said he.
“I never heard of it before,” asserted Dorothy. Then she added thoughtfully, “I don’t believe Ozma ever heard of Utensia, either. Tell me, are you not subjects of Ozma of Oz?”
“We have never heard of her,” retorted a spoon. “We are subjects of King Kleaver, and obey only his orders, which are to bring all prisoners to him as soon as they are captured. So step lively, my girl, and march with us, or we may be tempted to cut off a few of your toes with our swords.”
This threat made Dorothy laugh again. She did not believe she was in any danger; but here was a new and interesting adventure, so she was willing to be taken to Utensia that she might see what King Kleaver’s kingdom was like.

iVXjs JSON Specifications
Overview
The core of all iVXjs experiences is the configuration JSON you feed into its init function. Without a proper configuration, the experience won’t load and you will not be able to use any of the features in iVXjs. This configuration document will help guide you in making the a correct JSON spec and be a reference to what is needed to implement the features you want. https://influencetech.github.io/ivx-js/
About this documentation
This documentation offers three different ways to check your data:
Sample Data
The easiest and quickest way to get an iVXjs experience going is to copy and paste the sample JSON into your iVXjs experience and edit the values to match your needs. Most snippets are for fully functioning experiences so just copy and paste what you need from each snippet. For example, let’s say you want to add a text input to your Input State. Here is what the input-test-data-sample.json looks like:
{
"defaultState": [{
"stateId": "text-input-sample"
}],
"states": [{
"id": "text-input-sample",
"name": "text Input Sample",
"url": "/text-input-sample",
"type": "input",
"header": {},
"footer": {},
"onEnter": [],
"onExit": [],
"onSubmit": [],
"form": {
"classes": "",
"submit": {}
},
"next": [],
"inputs": [{
"id": "text-input",
"name": "textInput",
"type": "text",
"label": "This is a text input",
"settings": {
"container": {},
"input": {}
},
"attributes": {
"minlength" : "10",
"maxlength" : "25",
"placeholder" : "This is a placeholder"
},
"errors" : {}
}]
}]
}
Since you already have most of the data for this, all you really need is copy the object in the input collection:
{
"id": "text-input",
"name": "textInput",
"type": "text",
"label": "This is a text input",
"settings": {
"container": {},
"input": {}
},
"attributes": {
"minlength" : "10",
"maxlength" : "25",
"placeholder" : "This is a placeholder"
},
"errors" : {}
}]
}
Schema Validation
iVXjs’s JSON is very detailed with many parts. To help you out with debugging, there are JSOND Schema files that can be used with JSON Schema Validators. Remember though, iVXjs’s JSON is dynamic and contextual, so you may need to use different Schema files to check all of your JSON.

DEPRESSION: A LOT MORE THAN SADNESS
The School of Arts and Humanities organized a talk by Sangeetha Param on ''Depression', in the Aryabhatta Seminar Hall,CV Raman Block. Ms. Sangeetha Pranam has pursued her degree in Bachelor's of Business Management and is currently working in United India Insurance Company.
Ms. Sangeetha, a survivor of depression spoke about how at the age of seven she was bullied by her friends which made her feel that she wasn't good enough. Her father was diagnosed with blood cancer, which added to the pressure. When she was just nine years old her father was taken to Vellore by her mother and she had to take care of her younger sister,grandfather and schizophrenic grandmother.
As a teenager the bullying increased and she started harming herself after her friends started blaming her for broken friendships. The depression was so intense that she even tried committing suicide but didn't succeed ''I used to take 12 pills a day that is one pill each for every problem due to which I used to sleep the entire day and couldn't wake up,'' she added.
Further, she talked about her coping strategy and how writing helped her overcome her problems as she found a way to express herself. She even got two books published which consists of poems which talks about her journey. She considers her father to be that one person who helped her throughout her journey of ''survival'' as she terms it.
The session ended with an interaction between her and the students where the students put forward their questions regarding the topic of depression and ways to deal with it.

“Truly We are more than the sum of Our parts. The parts of Our being do not decide who We are but the pattern of said
parts decide who We can become. One’s state of mind being dependent only on how One chooses to perceive their pattern

patterns to emerge - each elevated by the wisdom of introspection.”


This is an implementation of constrained dual scaling for detecting response styles in categorical data, including utility functions. The procedure involves adding additional columns to the data matrix representing the boundaries between the rating categories. The resulting matrix is then doubled and analyzed by dual scaling. One-dimensional solutions are sought which provide optimal scores for the rating categories. These optimal scores are constrained to follow monotone quadratic splines. Clusters are introduced within which the response styles can vary. The type of response style present in a cluster can be diagnosed from the optimal scores for said cluster, and this can be used to construct an imputed version of the data set which adjusts for response styles.

why mirror?
mirror solves a problem - sharing channel content with teams on other slack instances without having to invite slack guests or creating and maintaining extra permanent accounts.
mirror bot commands:

why a bot and not an app?
why a bot and not an app?
Slack bots have the right security profile - they're only available once invited, only have access to the channels they're in, and speak only when spoken to.
call_split
share the content - not the channel
share the content - not the channel
It's not a shared channel, you mirror an existing slack channel with an existing slack channel from a external team.
device_hub
how it works
once installed, invited and linked, the mirror bot forwards all the messages, files and attachments to the remote slack channel, and vice-versa.

I am a passionate Software Developer based in Sydney, Australia. I enjoy getting my teeth into a good coding challenge and designing interesting things. When I'm not coding you'll find me creating something in my art studio - be it drawing, painting, or making 8-bit art from Rubiks Cubes; hanging out with my family and playing with my pets; or sparring with friends at Hapkido.
After studying at Coder Academy for a little over a month I had the privilege of presenting the solution to an Exercism challenge at the ROROSYD MeetUp, a MeetUp I have presented several projects at now including the work I completed at a RailsGirls event.
I have enjoyed being involved in the coding community, attending MeetUps and events such as the Voxxed Conference2019, SheHacks2019, CampJS, LevelUp and RailsGirlsNext.
I'm currently working online to complete my Certified Cloud Practicioner certification with AWS, due to finish mid September 2020.
I completed a Diploma of IT at Coder Academy, February 2020, where I maintained a high distinction average.
I achieved my first degree black belt in Hapkido in 2018, and am an assistant instructor in our kids class, for kids aged 7-14yrs.
I completed a Bachelor of Mathematics Education from the University of Wollongong in 2007.
I have a certificate in Comprehensive Writing also completed in 2007.
Straight out of highschool I worked full time in Pets Paradise as a retail assistant.
I have worked over 5years in the disability sector in various roles working with people with varying degrees of ability.
From 2011 - 2018 I homeschooled my son while working in my own time as an artist. One of my more prominent mosaic works (some photos above) can be seen cemented to the retaining wall on Hordens beach park in Bundeena. To see more of my art feel free to check out my instagram.
I had a one month internship to finalise my studies at Coder Academy. Here I worked with the Avalara and Google API with Javascript to validate ~100,000 client addresses.
Following Safety Culture I was given the oppostunity to work at Grok Learning for 4mths. Here I works with Python and Django within Docker. Each day included expanding and maintaining the website, writing content, and supporting consumers. I worked with a small dev team on a large established code base.

Review: The Hurricane (1999) By: Matt Petras
Rating: *** out of **** Length: 155 minutes
Cast: Denzel Washington, Vicellous Reon Shannon, Deborah Unger, Leiv Schreiber, John Hannah and Dan Hedaya Director: Norman Jewison Producer(s): Armyan Berstein, Norman Jewison, and John Ketcham
As an up and coming boxer, Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter, had a lot of things going for him and it looked like things in his life were on the up and up until he was wrongfully imprisoned for murder. Ending up spending many years in jail, trying in vain to get his sentence and wrongful conviction overturned.  The movie is based on a true story about a real man and is quite touching and surprisingly doesn't deviate from the truth other than for some artistic leeway (a Hollywood first).
There is some great acting in this movie especially on the part of Denzel Washington, he manages to capture the role of Rubin Carter perfectly and makes the movie magical. He manages to portray the real person as well as the character that is in the script he is given admirably. Aside from Denzel Washington the remainder of the cast portray their roles very well and bring out the warm characters that are involved in this story as well as some of the truly harsh and evil ones. The casting for the roles in this movie is great everyone fit their role perfectly; the movie is an example of what casting for a movie should be like. The whole cast gives the movie a very real quality that it needed to have in order to be credible.
 Regardless of length the pacing in the movie keeps you interested the whole time (and we'll ignore the one guy who was happily sleeping when the movie ended). The pace was perfect I didn't want to get up to stretch my legs even and that is rare for a movie this long.
I like the portrayal of both the jail and the racially tense atmosphere that is brought out during the course of the movie. The racial atmosphere changes as time progresses and this is true with reality, things became more tolerant as time passed with pockets of hate still existing. This is nothing new and it exists in reality, this was a good feature to make visible as it gave the movie a grander more realistic feel to it. I also like how the jail cell that Ruben Carter was kept in changed along with the conditions of the jail. Time doesn't stand still for anyone and things change over time as this the case in reality the jail changed and the conditions that the inmates were kept in changed. This attention to detail gives the movie a certain quality that is often lacking in movies today.
All in all, The Hurricane is a whirlwind ride of a movie that takes us through the life of a man that was horribly wronged by the system. I highly recommend it, its informative and thoughtful as well as very well done and a pleasure to watch. The movie also points out the importance of being literate. Its definitely one of the best of the year, well last year now, and I think that it should get some of the credit it deserves. Good Luck at the Oscars!

The information we gather from the census helps a range of organisations plan for the future. For example, local government use the information to help plan services, such as schools, hospitals and rubbish collection, in your area. Businesses use it to decide where to set up, which creates job opportunities. Charities also use census information to help get the funding they need.
Read some of our case studies below to find out how different organisations use census information to plan services.

‘Yellow vest’ anniversary protests lead to 254 arrests
PARIS, Nov 17 — French police arrested 254 people during clashes in Paris and other cities on the first anniversary of the “yellow vest” movement, Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said today.
The violence in Paris, where police battled rioters for hours around the southeastern Place d’Italie square, was the worst in the French capital in months.
A total of 173 people were arrested in the city, Castaner told Europe 1 radio, revising upwards yesterday’s count of 147.
Dozens more were arrested in smaller protests in cities including Nantes, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Bordeaux and Toulouse.
Further protests are planned today.
Castaner claimed that there were “few demonstrators” among at the protesters Saturday in Paris, who he said were mainly “thugs, brutes who came to fight the security forces and prevent the emergency services from doing their work.”
Several cars were overturned or set alight, bus shelters were smashed and a monument to a World War II hero - Marshal Alphonse Juin—was defaced.
The windows of a major shopping centre and a neighbouring hotel were also attacked by groups of stone-throwing demonstrators dressed in black, who wore masks to hide their faces.
The police, who had initially authorised the demonstration but declared it illegal after it turned violent, used tear gas and water cannon to try quell the unrest.
In rural France, the anniversary passed off generally peacefully, with thousands of yellow vests occupying the traffic roundabouts where the movement began last year over rising fuel taxes.
The interior ministry put the number of demonstrators at 28,600 nationwide but the organisers said nearly 40,000 people had rallied—a far cry from the estimated 282,000 who took part in the first big day of protests on November 17, 2018.
The leaderless yellow vests, who accuse President Emmanuel Macron of ruling on behalf of the urban elite, are adamant that they have not gone away.
They are now looking to join forces with the trade union movement, which is planning a major transport strike over pension reforms starting on December 5. — AFP


James Nizam approached tryles for a re-build of his WordPress-powered site that had been running strong since 2011. The site needed a more image-centric design to showcase his new work.
The new site features aggressive caching to enhance loading times for large images and a fluid grid view so that works are displayed as large as possible on all devices.

A music festival is a community event oriented towards live performances of singing and instrument
playing that is often presented with a theme such as musical genre (e.g., blues, folk, jazz,
classical
music), nationality, or locality of musicians, or holiday. They are commonly held outdoors, with
tents
or roofed temporary stages for the performers. Often music festivals host other attractions such as
food
and merchandise vending, dance, crafts, performance art, and social or cultural activities. At music
festivals associated with charitable causes, there may be information about social or political
issues.
Many festivals are annual, or repeat at some other interval. Some, including many rock festivals,
are
held only once. Some festivals are organized as for-profit concerts and others are benefits for a
specific charitable cause. Another type of music festival is the educative type, organized annually
in
local communities, regionally, or nationally, for the benefit of amateur musicians of all ages and
grades of achievement.
Lifestyle
Life tastes better with coffee
Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain Coffea
species. The genus Coffea is native to tropical Africa (specifically having its origin in Ethiopia
and
Sudan) and Madagascar, the Comoros, Mauritius, and Réunion in the Indian Ocean. Coffee plants are
now
cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the Americas, Southeast
Asia,
Indian subcontinent, and Africa. The two most commonly grown are C. arabica and C. robusta. Once
ripe,
coffee berries are picked, processed, and dried. Dried coffee seeds (referred to as "beans") are
roasted
to varying degrees, depending on the desired flavor. Roasted beans are ground and then brewed with
near-boiling water to produce the beverage known as coffee. Coffee is darkly colored, bitter,
slightly
acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. It is one of
the
most popular drinks in the world, and it can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g.,
espresso, French press, caffè latte). It is usually served hot, although iced coffee is a popular
alternative. Clinical studies indicate that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly
beneficial
in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption lowers the risk of some
diseases, although those long-term studies are of generally poor quality.

American dream
The American Dream is a national ethos of the United States, the set of ideals (democracy, rights,
liberty, opportunity and equality) in which freedom includes the opportunity for prosperity and
success,
as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work in a
society with few barriers. In the definition of the American Dream by James Truslow Adams in 1931,
"life
should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability
or
achievement" regardless of social class or circumstances of birth. The American Dream is rooted in
the
Declaration of Independence, which proclaims that "all men are created equal" with the right to
"life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness."Also, the U.S. Constitution promotes similar freedom, in the
Preamble: to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity".

A day exploring the Alps
The Alps, straddling Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, have no shortage of places that are likely
already on your bucket list—the iconic Matterhorn, the legendary Black Forest, and the
picture-perfect
village of Hallstatt. There are many other sights that, even if not as well known, should be on your
must-see list: the Philosopher’s Path in Heidelberg, the Chapel Bridge in Lucerne, and the
jaw-dropping
castle at Kufstein. Perhaps the first step in planning a bucket-list itinerary to the Alps, however,
is
acceptance. You won’t be able to see it all, and you’re going to have to make some hard subjective
choices among many alluring options. The good news, however, is that you pretty much can’t go wrong
wherever you choose to travel. The itinerary here starts in the old university town of Heidelberg,
packed with intellectual history and culture, and ends in the Austrian lakeside town of Hallstatt,
part
of a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its long history as a salt mining center that stretches back to
the
days of the Celts and Romans. In between, you’ll pamper yourself with Black Forest spa treatments,
discover the wonderfully walkable city of Lucerne, and admire the towering peaks around Zermatt.
After
visiting Innsbruck, the nearby Kufstein fortress town beckons. By the end of your trip, you are sure
to
have fallen under the spell of one of Europe’s most magical regions.


We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. – Douglas Adams, The Salmon of Doubt
Summary
In this tutorial we will show you how to use Approachable using our sandbox developer system with NFC devices.
Materials
- Android Phone
- Approachable-Sandbox App
- NFC Tools App
- 2 NFC Tags with at least 100 bytes
NOTE: there are many types of tag types and historically there have been compatibility issues among many phones, tags, and data formats, but most of that has been worked out now. But to play it safe, stick to an NTAG type which will all support the NDEF format. If buying new tags, we recommend NTAG216.
Procedure
Step 1 - Preparing an Approachable Interface Manifest
This will show you how to create an Interface Manifest which will describe the the device to phone interface that the device is prepared to communicate over in a given state.
Using your preferred text editor, start with this skeleton.
Manifest Skeleton
{
"i": "",
"name": "Wifi Device",
"tasks": [
],
"diagnostics" : [
]
}
Next, you will create a task defined using JSON Schema, which is just JSON that describes the structure of other JSON. In this case it is used to describe a JSON object that can be passed from phone to device in order to change a setting. It is also used to generate the app interface that will be displayed to the user.
We want the phone to setup wifi parameters on the device, so we need it to pass parameters over the NFC interface that look something like this:
Desired Result from phone to device
{
"schema_id": "ABCD1234",
"SSID":"MyNetwork",
"Password":"Secret"
}
The schema_id is any value that you choose. It can be used by your device to determine the purpose of the JSON object.
A corresponding JSON Schema that we would use to describe this JSON object is presented here:
Task Schema
{
"name": "Wifi Setup",
"schema_id": "ABCD1234",
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"title": "Wifi Setup",
"properties": {
"SSID": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Network Name (SSID):"
},
"Password": {
"type": "string",
"format": "password",
"title": "Password:"
}
},
"required": [
"SSID",
"Password"
]
}
}
This is a very basic schema, but Approachable supports much more powerful schemas that can be used to provide for more complex app interfaces. We use the Alpaca JS library to do all of the heavy lifting when it comes to user interface generation. You can learn more about it capabilities by visiting the Alpaca JS Documentation.
Another useful tool is the AlpacaJS Form Builder. It will allow you to experiment with the library and get quick look a the resulting user interface.
We will also create a schema for a read-only diagnostic display:
Diagnostic Schema
{
"schema_id": "ABCD5678",
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"title": "Status",
"properties": {
"Connection": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Wifi Connection:"
}
}
},
"data":{
"Wifi Connection":"Unknown"
}
}
Here, we removed the password property and added a default data value for the value of the Wifi Connection.
Now you can copy-and-paste the task and diagnostic schemas into the manifest skeleton.
Manifest
{
"i": "",
"name": "Wifi Device",
"tasks": [
{
"name": "Wifi Setup",
"schema_id": "ABCD1234",
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"title": "Wifi Setup",
"properties": {
"SSID": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Network Name (SSID):"
},
"Password": {
"type": "string",
"format": "password",
"title": "Password:"
}
},
"required": [
"SSID",
"Password"
]
}
}
],
"diagnostics" : [
{
"schema_id": "ABCD5678",
"schema": {
"type": "object",
"title": "Status",
"properties": {
"Connection": {
"type": "string",
"title": "Wifi Connection:"
}
}
},
"data":{
"Connection":"Unknown"
}
}
]
}
Step 2 - Registering With the Approchable Device Registry
Head over to our Developer Sandbox version of the Approachable Device Registry.
NOTE: Approachable is still a very young project and features are subject to change at anytime. The developer sandbox is for experimental use and should not be used for production purposes.
Sign up for an account. We support a wide range of social logins and do not require a lot of personal information, so registration is painless. Once logged in, you will be on your product list screen.
Next, you need to create a product by selecting the create product link. Product creation is straight forward. The revision field is optional and is there to help you manage the state of your project. Fill out the web form and submit.
Once created you will be returned to the product list. Find your new product and select it. In the next screen, select “update product”. Now you will be in a position to add an interface manifest.
It is important to understand that Approachable is not specifically for managing communication with products, but is really for managing communication with an interface. In this case, we will be describing the structure and type of data that is being passed over an NFC interface. The current interface of a device may not be determined by just the product, but also the current state of the device. e.g. a device that supports both a demo and production mode. Likewise, it is possible that two similar products could support identical communication interfaces. For example, the Wifi Device Manifest that we drafted above could be used with almost any device that only needs to configure a Wifi Connection.
A given interface of a device is described manifest written in JSON. Products in the device registry are really just an organizational tool that allows you to group multiple manifests under a single product so that you can manage them better. Generally, most devices will be simple and have a single manifest.
Choose the “create manifest” option and fill out the form. API version can currently be any value and is ignored. Interface description is any text that you want to use to describe the interface. Copy and Paste your previously drafted manifest into the “manifest document” box and submit.
You will be sent back to your product list. Select the product and you should see that it now has a manifest document associated with it. Checking the “JSON” for the manifest will show you the manifest that you created, where the value for “i” has been randomly generated. This is the ID that your device will use to identify itself and its current state. Be careful not to confuse this with the product id also shown on the product page.
Step 3 - Simulate a Device
Now copy the manifest id into a JSON object like this:
{"i":"YourManifestID"}
Replace “YourManifestID” with your randomly generated manifest id from the registry. For example, from our images it would be:
{"i":"dn3SNnCdSrWHCQ"}
This JSON, when encoded on a tag, is going to simulate the most basic function of an Approachable device, which is to identify itself and its state via the “i” value. Every Approachable device most always identify itself this way.
Next, you will write this JSON to a tag. First verify that your Android phone has NFC turned on by checking Settings->Wireless->NFC.
Open the NFC Tools and select the “write” tab. Select “Add a record” and go to the “Data” option at the bottom. In the dialog, set the content type to application/approach. In the data field add your JSON object. Select “OK” and you will be back at the “Write” tab. Select the “Write / XX bytes” option and you will be prompted to perform the NFC tap. Do this and write the data to the tag.
Exit NFC Tools and from the Android Home screen, scan the tag. The Approachable App should automatically start, download the manifest, and provide the user with information saying the state of the Wifi Connection is unkown and a list of the tasks that can be performed.
Select the Wifi Setup task and in the screen that follows, fill in the SSID and password, then “submit”. Next, use your second tag and tap the phone to it to write the data to it.
to verify the data that was written, open NFC Tools again and select the “Read” tab. Tap to read the second tag and you should see the tag contents. At the bottom, you should see the record that was written and it should be similar to the Desired results that we initially planned
Step 4 - Simulate a Slightly More Complex Device
Now we will simulate a device that does more than just identify itself. It will provide data that tells the user something about the state of the device. Using NFC Tools, edit your tag application/approach record to this:
{
"i":"YourManifestID",
"d":{
"Status":{
"Connection":"MyRouter",
"c":1
}
}
}
Replace “YourManifestID” with your manifest id.
d and d.c are reserved for diagnistics and “diagnostic code” respectively.
Now, when your repeat the steps to read this tag, Approachable App will start and you will see that the diagnostic display box has changed color to green due to the d.c value of 1. The Connection parameter has now been updated with the current connection access point information.
