Yesterday i have stumbled upon this
entry from Apple developer zone. It shows how to indicate that a document window
(frame in Swing application) has changed contents. The indication is similar to that of
regular Mac application (dark dot in the close button). The way to accomplish this is to
put a windowModified client property with Boolean.TRUE value on either the
JRootPane or on the JInternalFrame.
This, of course, is Mac-specific, and does not have Swing support on other platforms.
That is, until now (kind of). The latest drop of Substance
version 2.1 provides just that - a pulsating close button of JFrame, JInternalFrame
and JDesktopIcon when the above property is set to Boolean.TRUE. You can
view it in action in this
movie (31-second, 526KB, originally WMV format, but should play as AVI too). In addition,
you can run the Web Start
demo to see it in action. Go to "Desktop" tab, click on "add" button and click on
"Mark changed" in the new internal frame. Here are few screenshots from the movie:
Pulsating loop on JInternalFrame - red theme:
Note that the close button is painted in red and pulsates every 5 seconds, changing its
theme from red to yellow and back to red in two seconds.


An Oppia exploration is divided into several 'cards'. The first part of a card is the content. Use the content section to set the scene. Tell the learner a story, give them some information, and then ask a relevant question.
After you've written the content of your conversation, choose an interaction type. An interaction is how you want your learner to respond to your question. Oppia has several built-in interactions, including:
After the learner uses the interaction you created, it's your turn again to choose how your exploration will respond to their input. You can send a learner to a new card or have them repeat the same card, depending on how they answer.

OK, so I like experimenting with new things, and one day, salvia caught my curiosity. After doing a little research and discovering its legality, I ordered some from the internet. I ordered a gram of 5x and a gram of 10x. I decided I'd start with the 5x and figured if the effects were pleasent, I'd try the 10x. So I loaded my glass bubbler with some 5x and fired it up at around four.
I inhaled the first hit and quickly loaded up the second, knowing that speed is imperative when dealing with salvia. I didn't want to overdo iot one the first day, not having a sitter and all. So after the second hit, I put my pipe down and lied back in my bed. As expected, nothing really happened. It just felt like a very light marijuana buzz. Disappointed, I continued the rest of my day without any incident resulting form salvia. That is, until the next day.
I work as a dishwasher (I know it sucks but I'm only 18), and I have ADHD, so I take my perscribed 20mg of Adderall before school or work. It was 3:45pm when I took the Adderall. It usually will kick in 20 or 30 minutes later and I have fuel to get me through the night. This day however was different.
About 1/2 hour after I took the Adderall, I'm in the middle of punching fries in the fry press, when I suddenly start to feel a little light headed and woozy. I shrug it off and continue on with my duties. 10 minutes later, one of the chefs finds me propped up agianst the freezor. I feel TOTALLY stoned! He takes me outside and has me sit down for a while. I sit out there for about an hour watching the trees wave at me and the ground ripple like a black asphalt sea. A truck pulls into the parking lot, and although it's about 100 feet away from me, I jump in my chair out of the way, convinced it's going to hit me. I slowly return to normal and continue on with the rest of my night. EVERYONE who works at this place smokes weed, but a few others other are harcore consumers of illicit substances. It is not at all uncommon for a chef to come in stoned out of his face, so of course my little trip was received with laughter rather than trouble.
I am convinced that my trip at work was the result of the Salvia I smoked the day before.

- Lada Niva
In the first place we must find Lada Niva. This is a car that does not
have luxury attributes and may not look attractive like other cars, but this
car can really get on the "greasy banderage". We think that the perfect jeep must be ready for every obstacle,
and Lada Niva does not shake with the challenges. All the rest are extras that can not be.
- Jeep Wrangler
This is probably a true synonym for Jeep, and when someone remembers this name, this car comes to your mind.
Less luxurious but incredibly ready for travel through nature. This is a standard vehicle on Saharan trips
and expeditions around the jungle because this car is ready to cross over any obstacle.
This jeep is far more affordable than other jeeps and can be yours for about $ 23,000.
- Land Rover Range Rover
The UK representative is always on the top lists for jeeps, which is for good reason. Very reliable and
offers great performance. It's excellent on the highway and also good on sandy and muddy roads. Multi-option
options offer you to install it to suit your needs and with this vehicle everyone will feel like
an adventurer. Naturally, the price is also high and is $ 85,000.
- Toyota Land Cruiser
A brilliant Jeep that has a phenomenal aggregate that will never let you down. It may be less luxurious
than Mercedes, but that's why the price is lower and it costs around $ 80,000. Land Cruiser is an incredible
terrain that will take you out of a loose gravel and deep mud, and even the flood will not stop you.
- Mercedes-Benz G500
The G500 is probably one of the most beautiful jeeps on the net and its high price of $ 115,000 clearly shows
this. This vehicle is very luxurious and will give you everything you want. The ride in this vehicle is
comfortable and insufficient. The G500 is a jeep that will easily drive you through the city, but if you
decide to take it in an adventure on unspoilt roads, believe us that this car will also dominate.

Start operating UW Regional Hospital - ATAG
by Godfred A. Polkuu, GNA
Bolgatanga, Nov. 18, GNA – The Association of Transparency and Accountable Governance (ATAG) has called on government to permit the newly commissioned 160-bed capacity Upper West Regional hospital in Wa, to commence operations.
“The hospital if opened to the general public will carry the health delivery system of the region to another level with its modern facilities and equipment, ”ATAG said in a statement.
The statement signed by Mr Seidu Jaadi, Lead Convener of ATAG and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Bolgatanga at the weekend, said the state-of-the-art facility which cost over $52 million remained closed to the public after it was commissioned by President Akufo-Addo in August, 2019.
According to the statement, “The euphoria that heralded the commissioning of the facility by the people of the region has vanished into thin air as the people are left disappointed at the closure of the hospital despite its commissioning.”
“The belief and thinking of the citizenry were that government was only buying time in its commissioning and working behind the scene with the project contractor to fix all the necessary equipment and also hire the needed manpower to ensure the full operations of the facility after its inauguration,” the statement added.
It said there was an indication that all was set for the facility to be opened to the public, per statements made by government officials, and questioned “what then made it impossible for the facility to be opened to the public, since its commissioning”
The statement said if the facility was operational, most needless deaths in the Region, especially the recent death that rocked the Region due to lack of essential medicines or negligence on the part of staff of a health facility, would have been prevented.

From How To Think Like a Computer Scientist
Add a distanceFromPoint method that works similar to distanceFromOrigin except that it takes a Point as a parameter and computes the distance between that point and self.
Add a method reflect_x to Point which returns a new Point, one which is the reflection of the point about the x-axis. For example, Point(3, 5).reflect_x() is (3, -5)
Add a method slope_from_origin which returns the slope of the line joining the origin to the point. For example,
>>> Point(4, 10).slope_from_origin()
2.5
What cases will cause your method to fail? Return None when it happens.
The equation of a straight line is “y = ax + b”, (or perhaps “y = mx + c”). The coefficients a and b completely describe the line. Write a method in the Point class so that if a point instance is given another point, it will compute the equation of the straight line joining the two points. It must return the two coefficients as a tuple of two values. For example,
>>> print(Point(4, 11).get_line_to(Point(6, 15)))
>>> (2, 3)
This tells us that the equation of the line joining the two points is “y = 2x + 3”. When will your method fail?
Add a method called move that will take two parameters, call them dx and dy. The method will cause the point to move in the x and y direction the number of units given. (Hint: you will change the values of the state of the point)
Given three points that fall on the circumference of a circle, find the center and radius of the circle.

Final Project
A major part (34%) of your grade for this course comes from
the course's final project. The basic idea is that you will
write up a report similar to the labs but with significantly
more exposition about what you are doing and what the results
show. For a good benchmark, think of what my lecture notes look
like. Not too formal, but all of the ideas written out in words.
In the last two weeks of the semester, we will have presentations
based on these write-ups.
The overarching goal of the assignment is for you to apply what
we have learned this semester to a dataset that has not been nicely
cleaned for analysis. The skills we have covered are very applicable
and I want to make sure you all feel comfortable applying them to
real datasets outside of the ridge format I gave you in the course.
I am open to alternative ideas, but I see there being four main
approaches to the final project.
- kaggle: choose a Kaggle machine learning competition
and write up your attempts to build a predictive model. Generally,
make sure that the dataset is sufficiently difficult by choosing
something that includes multiple input files or works with text,
image, or other non-tabular datasources.
- data collection: create a new dataset yourself,
load it into R, and apply statistical learning techniques to the
data. This could in theory be from any source, but to be interesting
it will probably be either collecting another photo dataset or
curating a dataset of texts
- new method: find a new method and/or R package that we
have not covered in class and apply this to your dataset. Ideas
include working with time series, network data, or using Bayesian
models. Your write-up should include background on the method
similar to what my lecture notes cover.
All of them require applying predictive
modelling to a new dataset, but differ in what skills are emphasises.
Submission details:
- You should upload your project on your GitHub page as a file
named final_project.Rmd as well as the knit version
final_project.html. You should also upload the dataset
you are using, unless it can be downloaded from the web via
a direct link (in which case, please provide the link). If
this is not feasible, please let me know.
- I will copy our final project html file to the course website,
so be aware that these will be generally accessible. The file
should include your name at the top. If there are special
circumstances where you would not like this to be publicly
available, please also let me know ahead of time.
- You should submit your final project by noon on the day in
which you present.
Presentation schedule and details:
- Presentations will take place in class during the final four
class periods. This gives each student approximately 10 minutes
each.
- On Thursday, 09 November, I will ask you all to write down
your proposed topic and preferred presentation dates. If you will
not be in class, please email me this information.
- By 10 November, I will release a schedule of who is presenting
when. I will also let you know if your topic is inappropriate or needs
some clarification by that point.
- If everyone want to go on the same days, I will find a fair way of
devising the schedule.
- Note that I expect you all to be present during all presentations.
I have a strict no-laptop / no-cellphone policy during presentations.
- If you behave, there may be snacks.
- There will be a final lab 24, but no further labs after that (it is
a fun, easy lab to finish the semester with).
- You are done (other than attending the final classes) once you
finish the final project
I initial thought of creating a rubric for the final project, but I am not sure
that this would be very helpful for you all. Just keep in mind that there should
be much more expository text than the labs and you should practice your presentation
once.

Observing Modes, Exercises, and Science Use Cases
The following sections provide links to more information about the JWST observing modes. Some of the modes were also featured as part of the STScI Master Class, and so introductory presentations, exercises, and solutions are also available.
Imaging
While imaging was not directly covered by the Master Class, many of the resources and exercises below involve imaging in one capacity or another. Imaging is available with the following instruments:
- NIRCam (0.6 - 5.0 um)
- MIRI (5.6 - 25.5 um)
- NIRISS (0.8 - 5.0 um) (only available for coordinated parallel observations)
Slit Spectroscopy
Slit Spectroscopy is available with NIRSpec and MIRI. In preparing a JWST slit spectroscopy observing program, you must plan for your target acquistion, choose dither patterns, and calculate exposure times for both your acquisition and science observations. See the Slit Spectroscopy Roadmap on JDox for a step-by-step guide.
Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy
Wide field slitless Spectroscopy (WFSS) is available with NIRISS (0.8 - 2.2 um) and NIRCam (2.4-5.0 um). See the Wide Field Slitless Spectroscopy Roadmap for a step-by-step guide on designing a JWST slitless spectroscopy observing program. This guide walks users through recommended observing strategies for both instruments, blocking filters, direct image and grism sensitivities, dithering, readout patterns, and more.
Slitless spectroscopy was also an observing mode presented during the Master Class. The related resources, exercises and solutions are available here:
| Slitless Spectroscopy Presentation |
| Slitless Spectroscopy Activity Walkthrough |
| Slitless Spectroscopy APT files: NOTE – APT files include solutions. The exercises involve creating them from scratch. |
| Slitless Spectroscopy Materials for Activities: |
Mosaicking
Mosaicking observations allows the observer to cover an area larger than an individual instrument field of view. Mosaic observations are specified in the APT, and are defined by a single coordinate, an assumed tile footprint (size and orientation), and a designated number of rows and columns of the tile footprint. See the Mosaic Overview for more information about specifying mosaics. The following APT science templates allow mosaics:
- NIRCam Imaging
- NIRCam Wide field slitless spectroscopy
- MIRI Imaging
- MIRI Medium resolution spectroscopy (IFU)
- MIRI Low resolution spectroscopy
- NIRSpec IFU
- NIRSpec Fixed slit
- NIRISS Imaging
- NIRISS Wide field slitless spectroscopy
When preparing mosaic observations, it is very useful to view the defined mosaics in the Aladin viewer in APT to assess the overall shape and coverage!
Mosaics were also presented during the Master Class. The related resources, exercises and solutions are available here:
High-Contrast Imaging
High-Contrast Imaging (HCI) allows observers to obtain images of faint sources located near bright point sources. The available modes for HCI are:
- NIRCam Coronagraphic Imaging
- MIRI Coronagraphic Imaging
- NIRISS Aperture Masking Interferometry (AMI)
HCI observations involve some additional considerations and preparation. See the following links for more information about designing a JWST HCI observing program:
- HCI Roadmap – a step-by-step guide
- Coronographic Observation Planning
- HCI Proposal Planning – ETC and APT instructions, dithers, sequences, PSF reference stars

Integral Field Spectroscopy
Integral field spectroscopy is the process of dissecting an astronomical scene into multiple spatial components and dispersing each component with a spectrograph in order to provide spatially-resolved spectroscopic information. JWST has two integral field units (IFUs):
- MIRI Medium Resolution Spectroscopy – R ~ 1500-3500, 5-28um, FOV=7"x8"
- NIRSpec IFU Spectroscopy – R ~ 100,1000,2700, 0.6-5.3um, FOV=3"x3"
IFU observations involve some important considerations, including target acquisition, PSF variations, dithering, and whether background observations are required to meet the science goals. See the IFU Roadmap for a step-by-step guide through the process of designing an observing program using one or both of JWST's IFUs.
IFU spectroscopy was also an observing mode presented during the Master Class. The related resources, exercises and solutions are available here:
Multi-Object Spectroscopy
JWST Multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) uses NIRSpec's micro-shutter assembly (MSA) to obtain simultaneous spectroscopy of multiple sources in a single exposure. The MSA shutter configuration is set using the NIRSpec MSA Planning Tool (MPT), found within the APT. At the time of proposal submission, observers submit a set of planning visits with placeholder pointings and MSA shutter configurations that will be representative of the pointing and configurations after the observations are scheduled. Once the observations are scheduled and an aperture position angle has been assigned, users will re-run the MPT to design the final MOS observations.
The MSA shutters are very small, 0.2" wide. Pre-imaging with high astrometric accuracy (5-15 mas relative astrometry) is required to position the shutters accurately onto science sources. Images obtained using HST/ACS or HST/WFC3 UVIS within the past ten years should have this level of accuracy. In some cases, the planning of the NIRSpec spectroscopy will require NIRCam observations, which are specified using the NIRCam imaging tempate in the APT.
The following links provide more information about planning and executing MOS observations with JWST:

- MOS Roadmap
- MOS Recommended Strategies
- NIRSpec MSA Planning Tool (MPT)
Multi-object spectroscopy was also an observing mode presented during the Master Class. The related resources, exercises and solutions are available here:
Time Series Observations
Time series observations provide a way to monitor time variable phenomena, with observations optimized for detecting faint variations in flux over short or long timescales. Available TSO-specific instrument modes are:
- NIRISS Single Object Slitless Spectroscopy (SOSS)
- NIRCam Time-Series Imaging
- NIRCam Grism Time Series
- NIRSpec Bright Object Time-Series Spectroscopy (BOTS)
- MIRI Imaging TSOs
- MIRI Low Resolution Spectroscopy (LRS)
- MIRI Medium Resolution Spectroscopy (MRS)
A few changes are made to the instrument setup and data processing to provide the highly stable conditions needed for long duration staring at TSOs:
- Dithering is disabled
- Target acquisition is enabled (mandatory for some modes)
- Exposures can take longer than 10,000 s
- High gain antenna moves are allowed during the exposure
- Data are processed via a dedicated pipeline branch
For more information and a step-by-step guide describing how to prepare time series observations with JWST, see the TSO Roadmap.
Time series observations were also presented during the Master Class. The related resources, exercises and solutions are available here:
Moving Targets
JWST will be able to observe Solar System (moving) targets, with high sensitivity and spatial resolution, through imaging as well as low and medium resolution spectroscopy. See the Moving Target Roadmap for a step-by-step guide through the process of creating moving target observations with JWST.
Moving target observations were also presented during the Master Class. The related resources, exercises and solutions are available here:
| Moving Targets Presentation |
| Moving Targets Exercises |
| Moving Targets APT file with solutions NOTE – APT file includes solutions. The exercise involves creating it from scratch. |

Parallel Observing
Target of Opportunity
A target of opportunity (ToO) refers to requested JWST observations that are linked to an event that may occur at an unknown time. ToO targets include objects that can be identified in advance but which undergo unpredictable changes, as well as objects that can only be identified in advance as a class (e.g., novae, supernovae, gamma ray bursts, tidal disruption flares, newly discovered comets, etc.). See the ToO Roadmap for a step-by-step guide through the process of designing a target of opportunity program with JWST.
Note that, due to their disruptive nature, ToO programs can incur significant additional overheads if activated on short turnaround times. See the Policy Plenary talk for more information.

--- title: HTML shortcodes: true ---
This shows a simple enclosing shortcode in HTML: [div] Hello :) [/div]


Here are a few good shortcuts I have learned for Ruby
Arrays are great for storing secquenced data.
array = [1, 2, 3] array_strings = ["First", "Second", "Third"] array_shortcut = %w[First, Second, Third] #To call an element in an array array_shortcut[2]
Hashes handle key-value paring really well.
hash = {"first" => "first_value", "second" => "second_value"} hash_symbols = {first: "first_value", second: "second_value"} #To call an element in a hash hash_symbols[:first]
If it is answers you seek, ask the right questions.
The venerable if else
variable = "yes" if variable == "yes" puts "this is true" elsif variable == "no" puts "This is false" else puts "Maybe?" end
A prettier form
puts "This is an if" if true
Unless is a nice twist
puts "This is an unless" unless false
This is taking a ternary for the worst
puts 1 > 0 ? "This is true" : "This is false"
Whatever the CASE may be
puts "Hello there!" greeting = gets.chomp # Add your case statement below! case greeting when "English" then puts "Hello!" when "French" then puts "Bonjour!" when "German" then puts "Guten Tag!" when "Finnish" then puts "Haloo!" else puts "I don't know that language" end
This nifty short cut assigns a value unless one already exists.

"In And Out"
A review by Ed Johnson-Ott copyright 1997 For more reviews, visit www.nuvo-online.com and click on "film".
Comedies rarely receive the respect they deserve, which is a shame. Critical accolades are generally reserved for verbose, showy dramas about "important" subjects, with comedies dismissed as too frivolous to be considered as art. Hopefully that will change with the delightful screwball film "In And Out". Not only is "In And Out" the funniest film of the year, it's also one of the best. Writer Paul Rudnick ("Jeffrey", "The Addams Family") has concocted a gay fairy tale that manages to deliver admirable messages about community, family values and the importance of being yourself, while maintaining a light, giddy tone and delivering big laughs. Three days before his wedding, Indiana teacher Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline) gets the shock of his life when a former student (Matt Dillon) outs him during an Academy Award acceptance speech. Brackett frantically denies being gay as tabloid reporters turn the small town into a media circus. There's a lot more to the story, but revealing the surprises would spoil some of the fun. >From its opening moments, Rudnick and director Frank Oz establish "In And Out" as a broad farce, and they never let up the pace. Kevin Kline, who won an Oscar for "A Fish Called Wanda", leads the exceptional cast with another outstanding performance. In one extremely funny scene, Kline's Howard Brackett receives a long, unexpected smooch from an unlikely source. During the kiss, Kline uses body language brilliantly to convey a wide range of emotional reactions without ever saying a word. This guy can do more acting with one leg than most performers can do with their whole bodies. Kline is surrounded by one of the stronger casts in recent memory. Joan Cusack is a riot as Brackett's co-dependent fiancée. Virtually swallowed by a billowy wedding gown, she takes the ditzy character's insecurities and escalating sense of desperation and plays them to great comic effect. As a smarmy tabloid reporter, Tom Selleck gives an assured, almost impish performance, one of the finest of his career. Debbie Reynolds, fresh from "Mother", is focused and funny as Brackett's mom, a determined woman who tells her son, in no uncertain terms, "This wedding MUST happen. I need beauty, flowers and nice placemats. It's like heroin". Wilford Brimley and Bob Newhart give sturdy supporting performances, and Matt Dillon has a great time as Cameron Drake, a vacuous pretty boy film star who seems like a cross between Brad Pitt and Luke Perry. Complaints about "In And Out" are bound to surface.  What's interesting is that both statements are essentially true. "In And Out" uses humor, heartland imagery, and a musical score straight out of "Hoosiers" to create a sympathetic atmosphere for its gay-positive message. The film is an extremely effective piece of propaganda and that's a good thing.  Rudnick's agenda is to send audiences out of the theater with smiles on their faces and minds a little more open. We can certainly use more propaganda like that.   But the film doesn't stop there. In the world of "In And Out", everyone is a stereotype. Reporters are opportunistic jackals, small-town folks are sweet, wide-eyed yokels, fashion models are bulimic bimbos, and actors are self-absorbed boobs. Characters are painted with broad strokes in farces, that's simply the nature of the beast. Hopefully, those on the far left and right will settle down and enjoy the film's great humor and enormous good will. Along with its wonderful performances and pacing, "In And Out" boasts an razor-sharp script, bursting with as many pop culture references as a dozen episodes of "The Simpsons". In fact, "In And Out" plays a bit like a big-screen sitcom. That's just another part of Rudnick and company's canny approach. Using familiar images and a screwball comedy format, they have created the first wholesome, all-American, family values film about gays. "In And Out" is one comedy that truly deserves respect.

Status: DRAFT
On Windows WinRM is sort of the equivalent of SSH. It enables remote shells and remote command execution. Microsoft is also working on SSH for Windows, but it has not been released yet.
Unfortunately WinRM is a lot more work to set up than SSH. And you have to get all of the details right, because there are strict requirements for the certificates used for authentication.
One of the major drawbacks of WinRM is that it does not verify the identity of the server by default. If a server responds to the hostname you entered, the client will happily make a connection. If you use Basic or Negotiate authentication (which are both enabled by default), and the server forces the use of one of these methods, sensitive information that can be used to impersonate you will be sent to the server:
Basic: Your username and password are sent to the server. This allows the server to impersonate you indefinitely.
Negotiate: If you are not in a domain, NTLM will be used. In that case, the encrypted challenge will be sent to the server. Using this response the server can impersonate you for a single session.
This manual contains steps to switch to public key infrastructure (PKI) authentication exclusively. This ensures that neither the client nor the server blindly allows connections to unknown hosts, and that no secrets are sent to the other machine.
A certificate authority to generate the client or server certificates is not needed. Self-signed certificates are used for both.
Instructions are available for both Windows (whether part of a domain or not) and Linux clients, so you will be able to access the Windows server from the operating system of your choice.

Popular Mechanics


This attractive, well-looked after island has a very sheltered harbour and is popular for longer-term boat storage. There are well-marked trails around the cay.
Nurse sharks are encouraged into the marina.
Position 24° 15.660'N, 076° 30.780'W.
The marina is quite isolated and the store has only a few basic supplies. If anchored outside, there is a charge of $10 to land there, even for only a short time.
There is a good anchorage with all-round shelter south of the marina. The holding is good, but note the tidal stream runs at 2 knots. This is a very quiet, isolated spot which you will probably have to yourself though there is room for 10 boats.

Having learned a little Node.js in the last year, I recently tried my hand at the Gulp build tool. If you know some JS and want a flexible build tool, this is a great option for both front end and back end projects (or, in my case, both at the same time).
It’s quite simple for starters:
var gulp = require('gulp');
gulp.task('default', function() {
// place code for your default task here
});
I’m building a site that has Node.js on the back end and Bootstrap on the front end. For this project, I needed Gulp to automate some of my front end code building process. I also needed to make my own theme customizations in LESS. Using several plugins, I was able to make Gulp take my finished CSS, limit it to only what is actually being used, add vendor prefixes where applicable, and minify it. As an added bonus, the needed build processes are triggered by a filesystem watcher when I turn it on (using “gulp watch” in my case). It took a bit of code, but once I got the hang of it then it felt fairly simple:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var less = require('gulp-less');
var minify = require('gulp-minify-css');
var postcss = require('gulp-postcss');
var purify = require('gulp-purifycss');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var watch = require('gulp-watch');
var autoprefixer = require('autoprefixer-core');
var css_dest = './public/css/';
var js_dest = './public/js/';
gulp.task('jquery', function() {
return gulp.src('./node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js').
pipe(gulp.dest(js_dest));
});
gulp.task('bootstrap_js', function() {
return gulp.src('./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js').
pipe(gulp.dest(js_dest));
});
gulp.task('bootstrap_css', function() {
return gulp.src('./node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css').
pipe(purify(['./index.html'])).
pipe(gulp.dest(css_dest));
});
gulp.task('theme_css', function() {
return gulp.src('./src/theme.less').
pipe(less().on('error', function(err) {
console.log(err);
this.emit('end');
})).
pipe(purify(['./index.html'])).
pipe(postcss([ autoprefixer({ browsers: ['last 3 versions'] }) ])).
pipe(minify({ keepsBreaks: true })).
pipe(rename({ suffix : '.min' })).
pipe(gulp.dest(css_dest));
});
gulp.task('watch', function() {
gulp.watch('./index.html', ['bootstrap_css', 'theme_css']);
gulp.watch('./src/theme.less', ['theme_css']);
});
gulp.task('default', ['jquery', 'bootstrap_js', 'bootstrap_css', 'theme_css']);
In conclusion: if you are willing to write your JS build script in JS and want the flexibility of the streaming interfaces you will find the Gulp is a great solution with an active ecosystem.


Next Friday Zero Stars (out of * * * * )
Directed by Steve Carr. Cast: Ice Cube, Mike Epps, Justin Pierce, John Witherspoon, Don "DC" Curry, Jacob Vargas, Lobo Sebastian, Rolando Molina, Lisa Rodriguez, Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr., Kym E. Whitley, Amy Hill, Tamala Jones, Robin Allen, Michael Rapaport. 2000 - 93 minutes Rated R (for profanity, sexual situations, and drug use). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, January 13, 2000.
I was spoiled last weekend when I got to see two of the best pictures of 1999--P.T. Anderson's "Magnolia" and Scott Hicks' "Snow Falling on Cedars." But, you know, it's the first month of the new year, and as any "in-the-know" person should realize, the quality of films significantly drop with each year crossover. 2000 is a new millennium, to some a chance to start anew, whether it be concerning something minor, or even the full direction of their life. Could movie releases also possibly start fresh this January? Well, the rest of this month's upcoming films have yet to be seen by me, but 2000 has begun with Steve Carr's "Next Friday," the sequel to the despicably low-rent 1995 comedy hit, "Friday." To put it in as gentle of a manner as humanly possible, "Next Friday" is an instant front-runner for the absolute worst motion picture to be unleashed upon movie screens in 2000.
If anyone should have the blame put on them, it should be Ice Cube himself, since it was he and some writing genius by the sophisticated name of D.J. Pooh, who penned the maddeningly stupid, dull, and completely unfunny screenplay. The fact that there are a string of great films each year that never get their rightful recognition because they fail to be awarded a strong theatrical release, and yet "products" by the name of "Next Friday" instantly come out on thousands of screens across the country, is not only a sad statement about the moviemaking business, but also one concerning the validity of audiences who will actually throw down the cash to see something as brain-numbingly inept as this. Granted, I went to see it opening night (with a theater fairly packed for a Wednesday evening), but at least I have two excuses: (1) It's sort of my duty to wade through such trash to get to the film gems, so I can ward readers away from the former category, and (2) I got in with my Hoyts 2000 Season Pass, and didn't have to pay one cent. What I lost, however, are 93 minutes of my precious life that I could have been putting to better use--you know, by getting my head smashed in with a large, metal hammer, or receiving refreshing root canal surgery.
Now this is only a guess, so don't hold it against me if I get it wrong, but I think the premise of "Next Friday" goes something like this: Craig Jones (Ice Cube), the pot-smoking "hero" of the film's predecessor, is still living at home with his father, Mr. Jones (John Witherspoon), showing no signs of attempting to partake in responsibility for his fully adult self, or even getting a job. Believing that what Craig needs is a change of atmosphere, Mr. Jones takes him to stay with his Uncle Elroy (Don Curry), who has recently won the lottery and moved to the suburbs with a much younger wife by the name of Suga (Kym E. Whitley).
The rest of the movie, all of which is set on a Friday, of course, consists of nothing more than one occurrence happening after the next, none, or rarely any, of which are connected to anything else in the so-called story. There are two crooks from the original who have escaped from prison and have set out to seek revenge on Craig. Then there is a crazy pregnant woman (Tamala Jones) and her chubby sidekick (Robin Allen) who are out to destroy the belongings of Craig's cousin (Mike Epps) until he takes responsibility for his unborn child. Nothing comes of this subplot, by the way, and like every other character in the film, it is played for gratuitous laughs and no attempts is ever made to develop anyone beyond a broad caricature.
I've got one question for the entire cast, crew, and studio, New Line Cinemas, and then I'm just leaving this movie alone forever. It's something I ask many films of this low, low caliber, because I am always left wondering it. I never get an answer, but if anyone who was involved in "Next Friday" happens to read this, could you please e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and offer up an insightful answer? Here goes: Was there ever a minutiae of a second, either during preproduction, filming, or post-production, where you actually warped your mind into thinking that you were making a motion picture worth any sort of value whatsoever?
Okay, I'm through. May I never have to think about this heaping piece of rancid garbage for the remainder of my life--well, okay, at least until I write my Worst of 2000 essay next January.

--- layout: post title: A Self-Made Smart Mirror images: - url: /images/smirror/pic4.jpg ---
With the huge growth of IoT devices, people’s daily necessities could be variously given more amazing functions. Today, I’m gonna show you guys the process of making a smart mirror with Raspberry Pi 3.
There are two modes of this smart mirror, security mode and active mode: In the security mode, the mirror keeps detecting the change of the environment with based on light and motions in front of it. If something is detected, the mirror will automatically send an email to the owner. In the active mode, the mirror could show the time, date and current room temperature. There is no physical button on this mirror, an user is able to switch between these two modes by voice control.
Silver Zhang, Iman Elsayed
1. We have to measure the sizes the two-way mirror in order to cut the wood frames, here, a big shout-out to my partner’s brother, who did a really brilliant job on cutting the woods and putting them together. Our monitor’s has the pretty much the same height as the two-way mirror and horizontally smaller than it so that we have space to fit our raspberry pi and circuit.
2. Then we move onto the circuit part, based on our objectives, we put all the electronic elements together on one bread board and have them correctly interact with our Raspberry pi.
3. Then, looks like we have all the hardware set up so far, the next thing we need to do is design a software system that could both display information and interact with sensors. Here we used python 3 since it is easy and has a lot of libraries. For the interface, we used python's tkinter to construct a full screen background containing those labels which load the information from the internet and sensors.
The picture above is the software structure is very clear, each source of information is an independent module which is called in the graphic function every specific amount of time. Besides the sensor parts, we also have the voice controling function, which keeps listening the voice from surroundings and if the keywords "switch" or "security" are heard, then the mirror will switch the mode to active or security mode, therefore, we don't need any physical button to do the operations. Also for the voice recognition, we used google's voice recognition API.
For the thermistor part, we used is the thermistor module and ADC converter(PCF8591) module of Sunfounder (usually like 6 or 7 dollars), but there are also other options you can find online, if you are using the same things as we did, the ADC converter libarary is provided by Sunfounder.(See our source code for more information)
4. Another function module we have is an automatic email-sending funtion, in security mode, when the ultrasonic or light sensors have detected something
from the environment, the program would send an alarm email to the owner.
Here is a piece of code to implement email sending with python's email library, you also need to input username and password of your own email account and the email will be sent from that account:
from email.mime.text import MIMEText
import smtplib
def sendemail():
FROM = 'fromemail'
SENTTo =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>SUBJECT = "Alarm"
TEXT = "INTRUDER INTRUDER!"
msg = MIMEText('body')
msg['Subject'] = 'subject'
msg['From'] = "..."
msg['Reply-to'] = "..."
msg['To'] = "..."
mail = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587)
mail.ehlo()
mail.starttls()
mail.ehlo()
mail.login("email", "password")
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>SENTTo, TEXT)
print("Sent Succesffuly")
mail.close()
5. One of the problems might be how to have several processes going on in the python since tkinter is already a loop that is running
all the time, we cannot have another loop at the same time to keep checking sensor's data and voice around.
Here, tkinter has a function:
self.root.after(time, function)
Where the second parameter "function" you want to keep executing and the first parameter "time" is the frequency the function is executed.
With this line of code, I can say my function paramter refers to the function that is checking the GPIO ports of sensors constantly
so that we can keep updating the data from sensors.
But for voice listening, there is a small difference, we used multi-threading using python's threading library.
def thr(self):
t1 = threading.Thread(target=self.listen, daemon=True)
t1.start()
6. After every part was working correctly, we start putting all the parts together, we stick our monitor and circuit onto the back of the mirror.
7. Yes, now a basic smart mirror has been made! Click here to get the source code of our software system.
This is just the first version of smart mirror made by me and my partner, but obviously it is not what we have imagined about a really great smart mirror. In the future, we are planning to remove all the sensors, improve the system and develop a better voice interaction for the mirror.

David,
I was reviewing the 7 page summary of the longer term muni bonds that I
recently bought.
This summary is very helpful. I would appreciate it if you could also
provide me with the following:
1)a summary of the short term municpal bonds I bought about a month ago and
2) a combined summary of all the municipal bonds I recently purchased.
Please call me should you have any questions at<PHONE_NUMBER> or 713 503
3466.
Thank you,

Sarkodie goes after Twitter Inc over his wife’s unverified Twitter account
by Nana YawGhanaian rap star, Michael Owusu Addo, popularly known as Sarkodie has asked for his wife’s Twitter account to be verified.
Many people didn’t really know who Tracy was until she gave birth to Sarkodie’s daughter, Adalyn Owusu. Since then, she has been in the limelight and has been involved in outdoor events, especially Sarkodie’s annual concert, Rapperholic.
Tracy Owusu Addo aka Tracy SarkCess, who has over 200,000 followers on Instagram has the verification badge but her Twitter page which has over 70,000 followers is yet to be verified.
Sarkodie who seems impatient by Twitter Inc’s delay to verify his wife’s account took to the micro-blogging platform to ask why Twitter is hesitating to verify Tracy.
“Erm @Twitter what y’all waiting before you verify madam @TracySarkcess Account?? 😊 or is it because she doesn’t tweet on the #Regular?,” he tweeted.


EVP_PKEY-DH, EVP_PKEY-DHX, EVP_KEYMGMT-DH, EVP_KEYMGMT-DHX - EVP_PKEY DH and DHX keytype and algorithm support
For DH FFC key agreement, two classes of domain parameters can be used: "safe" domain parameters that are associated with approved named safe-prime groups, and a class of "FIPS186-type" domain parameters. FIPS186-type domain parameters should only be used for backward compatibility with existing applications that cannot be upgraded to use the approved safe-prime groups.
See EVP_PKEY-FFC(7) for more information about FFC keys.
The DH key type uses PKCS#3 format which saves p and g, but not the q value. The DHX key type uses X9.42 format which saves the value of q and this must be used for FIPS186-4. If key validation is required, users should be aware of the nuances associated with FIPS186-4 style parameters as discussed in "DH key validation".
In addition to the common FCC parameters that all FFC keytypes should support (see "FFC parameters" in EVP_PKEY-FFC(7)) the DHX and DH keytype implementations support the following:
Sets or gets a string that associates a DH or DHX named safe prime group with known values for p, q and g.
The following values can be used by the OpenSSL's default and FIPS providers: "ffdhe2048", "ffdhe3072", "ffdhe4096", "ffdhe6144", "ffdhe8192", "modp_2048", "modp_3072", "modp_4096", "modp_6144", "modp_8192".
The following additional values can also be used by OpenSSL's default provider: "modp_1536", "dh_1024_160", "dh_2048_224", "dh_2048_256".
DH/DHX named groups can be easily validated since the parameters are well known. For protocols that only transfer p and g the value of q can also be retrieved.
Used for getting and setting the encoding of the DH public key used in a key exchange message for the TLS protocol. See EVP_PKEY_set1_encoded_public_key() and EVP_PKEY_get1_encoded_public_key().
Used for DH generation of safe primes using the old safe prime generator code. The default value is 2. It is recommended to use a named safe prime group instead, if domain parameter validation is required.
Randomly generated safe primes are not allowed by FIPS, so setting this value for the OpenSSL FIPS provider will instead choose a named safe prime group based on the size of p.
In addition to the common FFC key generation parameters that all FFC key types should support (see "FFC key generation parameters" in EVP_PKEY-FFC(7)) the DH and DHX keytype implementation supports the following:
Sets the type of parameter generation. For DH valid values are:
These are described in "FFC key generation parameters" in EVP_PKEY-FFC(7)
This specifies that a named safe prime name will be chosen using the "pbits" type.
A safe prime generator. See the "safeprime-generator" type above. This is only valid for DH keys.
Sets the size (in bits) of the prime 'p'.
For "fips186_4" this must be 2048. For "fips186_2" this must be 1024. For "group" this can be any one of 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 or 8192.
An optional value to set the maximum length of the generated private key. The default value used if this is not set is the maximum value of BN_num_bits(q)). The minimum value that this can be set to is 2 * s. Where s is the security strength of the key which has values of 112, 128, 152, 176 and 200 for key sizes of 2048, 3072, 4096, 6144 and 8192.
For DHX that is not a named group the FIPS186-4 standard specifies that the values used for FFC parameter generation are also required for parameter validation. This means that optional FFC domain parameter values for seed, pcounter and gindex or hindex may need to be stored for validation purposes. For DHX the seed and pcounter can be stored in ASN1 data (but the gindex or hindex cannot be stored). It is recommended to use a named safe prime group instead.
For DH keys, EVP_PKEY_param_check(3) behaves in the following way: The OpenSSL FIPS provider tests if the parameters are either an approved safe prime group OR that the FFC parameters conform to FIPS186-4 as defined in SP800-56Ar3 Assurances of Domain-Parameter Validity. The OpenSSL default provider uses simpler checks that allows there to be no q value for backwards compatibility.
For DH keys, EVP_PKEY_param_check_quick(3) is equivalent to EVP_PKEY_param_check(3).
For DH keys, EVP_PKEY_public_check(3) conforms to SP800-56Ar3 FFC Full Public-Key Validation.
For DH keys, EVP_PKEY_public_check_quick(3) conforms to SP800-56Ar3 FFC Partial Public-Key Validation when the DH key is an approved named safe prime group, otherwise it is the same as EVP_PKEY_public_check(3).
For DH Keys, EVP_PKEY_private_check(3) tests that the private key is in the correct range according to SP800-56Ar3. The OpenSSL FIPS provider requires the value of q to be set (note that this is set for named safe prime groups). For backwards compatibility the OpenSSL default provider only requires p to be set.
For DH keys, EVP_PKEY_pairwise_check(3) conforms to SP800-56Ar3 Owner Assurance of Pair-wise Consistency.
An EVP_PKEY context can be obtained by calling:
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DH", NULL);
A DH key can be generated with a named safe prime group by calling:
int priv_len = 2 * 112;
OSSL_PARAM params[3];
EVP_PKEY *pkey = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DH", NULL);
params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string("group", "ffdhe2048", 0);
/* "priv_len" is optional */
params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_int("priv_len", &priv_len);
params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(pctx);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(pctx, params);
EVP_PKEY_generate(pctx, &pkey);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(pkey);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
DHX domain parameters can be generated according to FIPS186-4 by calling:
int gindex = 2;
unsigned int pbits = 2048;
unsigned int qbits = 256;
OSSL_PARAM params[6];
EVP_PKEY *param_key = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *pctx = NULL;
pctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name(NULL, "DHX", NULL);
EVP_PKEY_paramgen_init(pctx);
params[0] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint("pbits", &pbits);
params[1] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_uint("qbits", &qbits);
params[2] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_int("gindex", &gindex);
params[3] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string("type", "fips186_4", 0);
params[4] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_utf8_string("digest", "SHA256", 0);
params[5] = OSSL_PARAM_construct_end();
EVP_PKEY_CTX_set_params(pctx, params);
EVP_PKEY_generate(pctx, ¶m_key);
EVP_PKEY_print_params(bio_out, param_key, 0, NULL);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(param_key);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(pctx);
A DH key can be generated using domain parameters by calling:
EVP_PKEY *key = NULL;
EVP_PKEY_CTX *gctx = EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_pkey(NULL, param_key, NULL);
EVP_PKEY_keygen_init(gctx);
EVP_PKEY_generate(gctx, &key);
EVP_PKEY_print_private(bio_out, key, 0, NULL);
...
EVP_PKEY_free(key);
EVP_PKEY_CTX_free(gctx);
To validate FIPS186-4 DHX domain parameters decoded from PEM or DER data, additional values used during generation may be required to be set into the key.
EVP_PKEY_todata(), OSSL_PARAM_merge(), and EVP_PKEY_fromdata() are useful to add these parameters to the original key or domain parameters before the actual validation. In production code the return values should be checked.
EVP_PKEY *received_domp = ...; /* parameters received and decoded */
unsigned char *seed = ...; /* and additional parameters received */
size_t seedlen = ...; /* by other means, required */
int gindex = ...; /* for the validation */

After graduating from UCT with a BSc in Computer Science and Psychology, I have been actively involved in the marketing, innovation, crowdsourcing and startup environment for the last 9 years.
With some early startup learnings / failures I became marketing manager at Quirk. I then helped launch BrandsEye (as MD) and took it into 113 countries - winning marketing organisation of the year in 2011. I sat on the Digital Media and Marketing Assoc. of SA in 2010-11 as executive head of Measurement.
In 2012 I helped start 42Engines (a Quirk investment vehicle) and wrote a methodology that tested hundreds of startup concepts. From this I was involved in the creation of 4 businesses. In 2013 I won Launch48 startup competition for a low income employee / employer matching platform. I'm a founder at InstantAfrica where I marketed, sold, coded, managed the community and oversaw research as a one-man army.
Work aside, I'm fascinated with WHY people make the decisions that they do, the role that technology has to play in driving efficiency, the implications of the information age on human evolution. I am also a keen (albeit terrible) magician. All too often I can be found pondering on a mountain somewhere (and prefer to have meetings where the air is cleaner).
I love difficult problems and apply a mixture of marketing, digital, code and data driven insight to solve them faster.
Under my tenure as MD at BrandsEye we won Marketing Organisation of the Year (2011). I was the marketing manager at Quirk and over the years I've judged PR and marketing awards. Specific skills: digital, social media and online reputation management.
Been in love with Code since the age of 10. This culminated in a BSc at UCT in Computer Science. Fundamentally, I believe in using technology to do the heavy lifting and time intensive tasks. Specific skills: MVP, prototyping, HTML5, MVC frameworks and backend Java.
I am a data-dork and was previously Executive Head of Measurement for the Digital Media and Marketing Assoc. of SA. I believe that data must be fast, accurate and lead to incremental, intentional change. Specific skills: Social data, web analytics, respondent data, "big data", analysis and insight generation.
I have a healthy irreverence for the past and believe that efficiency will always win. It is off this basis that Marketing, Code and Data come together to empower innovative change within businesses of any size. Specific skills: Problem-Solution paradigm, systems thinking, design thinking, marketing, code and data.


Pairing is Caring!2/13/15One of my favorite experiences so far in DBC has been peer pairing. I love the concept of working with other people who are just as excited and passionate about solving these problems and trying to learn more! It's really cool to see how other people not only work but what you can learn from eachother as well. I've learned so much more from every pairing session not only from what my partner has told me but I also I believe you truly don't understand something until you can teach it. So it personally helps you in both ways So far in this experience it's really only been a month but it feels like so much more! We've gone through so much in little time but even before this I've always been the type to keep going at any kind of problem or challenge until I complete it or understand it but what I like about pairing is all the partners I've had so far, have had the same mentality. So having someone there next to you just as drive or even more pushes you even more. It becomes a competition where only both partners can benefit because it brings out the best in both people. But not only is pairing really important, getting feedback is right up there. Reason being you can think you did great sometimes or maybe not but if you have a partner who can give you good, precise, and constructive feedback is only going to help you. So far from the feedback that I've received people have told me they enjoyed having me as a partner and that i had some great ideas on different situations but my favorite part is reading on where they tell me I can be better because those are things that we might not notice in ourselves. So what I've learned from pairing and getting feedback is it really helps and I'd only encourage other people to try this system no matter what field. |

As we have been harbor hoping the southern coast of Puerto Rico
we have spent about a week in the anchorage of Salinas.
The anchorage is well protected from winds and waves and other
than our Manatee encounter when we anchored (we startled a
mother and her calf and they made a large splash which made the
two people on the bow jump), it has been very relaxing.
We decided for the weekend to use the Enterprise Car
Weekend Rental of $10 per day for Friday/Sat/Sun, to tour Puerto
Rico via the roads. We drove 275 miles. The trip from Salinas to San Juan was
over several mountains; the island is very hilly, but the major
road was 4 lanes so no problems. On the trip we went from a small town
- to no town -
and then into the biggest town of San Juan with over 3 million
people.
We wanted to go into Old San Juan and since parking is hard to
find we took a parking garage approach. The procedure we
found is to
park a car in the normal stall and then attendants park cars in front of
the stalls thereby blocking the stalls. The cars blocking
the stalls leave their keys in the car so if the car in the
stall needs out the parking attendant just moves the car in
front. This allows for a lot more cars in the garage but
is rather confusing to an inexperienced parker and trying to
communicate this in broken English/Spanish adds for an extra
confusion.
The area in Old San Juan is beautiful and has private
homes, businesses and several large public buildings. One
of the buildings we walked through had several guitar groups
scattered around it. Each group was involved in lessons
and the one group we watched were children learning on 10 string
guitars. You could tell the groups where the lessons were
more advanced vs. the beginning lessons after listen for a short
time.
We walked up the walkway to "El Morro", the fort at the entrance
to San Juan harbor, then read the signs referring to all the
Dutch and French soldiers who tried to take the fort over the
250 years of the fort's history, none were
successful. The Spanish had built the fort because it was
on the first major island from Europe with fresh water, shelter,
supplies, and a deep water harbor . The fort is now part of
the National Park Service; has been kept up well and has lots of
history you can learn.
We stopped and had Wendy's for lunch in Old San Juan, and just
outside the restaurant was a large public square with benches
and statues. There were a couple of hundred pigeons about
the square and Derek wanted to run through them, but we didn't
let him. A lady came over and grabbed Derek's hand and
dumped some bird seed in it and before he knew it, two pigeons
had landed on his arm and were busy eating. She did the
same to Kris, and they both had a grand time pretending to be
statues as the birds ate out of their hands. Thankfully,
no one got bird poo on them.
Since we have not been driving much; the experience of driving
in Old San Juan was an adventure as well. The streets are
narrow, one way with cars parked on one side. Most of the roads
are paved with blue bricks, and are very hilly. The
map we had from the rental car agency and the old GPS map did not always agree on the
routes so we might have seen several of the same streets as we
tried to find our route from point A to point B. There
were no fender benders and when we finally drove out of San Juan
to the wider roads we were happy. On the way home we
stopped at a Costco and reloaded up some of our supplies, felt
just like the USA.
On Sunday we drove up into the hills in the central part of
Puerto Rico, around Villalba. These roads are called two
lanes but usually 1.5 wide. We had to detour several times
around bicycle events, one serious race and two local town
parades. The hills make the roads very twisty and slow,
usually 30 mph as you weave and wind up and down the hills. We
stopped and looked at a water fall along the road and then went
it to a coffee plantation and took a self-guided tour. This plantation has 120 acres
of coffee, mid size for the island, and uses one person per acre
to harvest coffee. Very labor intensive but when you see
the slope people have to walk on you can understand the ratio.
It was good to see more of Puerto Rico than just from the water
but we were very happy to get back on the boat.

A typical fart is composed of about 59 percent nitrogen, 21 percent hydrogen, 9 percent carbon dioxide, 7 percent methane and 4 percent oxygen. Only about one percent of a fart contains hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans, which contain sulfur, and the sulfur is what makes farts stink.
Moral: if near Bermuda Triangle, don't fart.
