CodaLab competitions provide an opportunity for researchers, developers and algorithmists to create solutions for problems across a wide range of domains, and advance the state of the art for their respective areas of interest. This guide covers everything you need to know to create and manage a CodaLab competition.
Note: CodaLab currently supports the following browsers:
Competitions are conducted in two phases: training and competition. The appropriate data is made available to participants at each phase of the competition. During the training phase, participants have access to training data to refine their algorithms. During the competition phase, participants are provided with competition data to generate results which they can then submit to the competition.
To create a competition, you need to create and upload a Competition Bundle. A Competition Bundle is a .zip archive which contains a YAML file that describes the competition and its assets. The files that make up a competition bundle are as follows:
| Item | Description |
| competition.yaml | Lists all of the assets for a competition. |
| data.html | Contains links to the competition data. |
| evaluation.html | Explains the metrics and scoring methods for the challenge. |
| overview.html | Describes the goals of the competition. |
| terms_and_conditions.html | Lists the terms for participating in the challenge (for example data licensing and results submission). |
| program.zip | Contains the evaluation program which compares the submitted results with the answers and passes the scores to the CodaLab leaderboards. |
| reference.zip | Contains reference data used to score the competition. |
| logo.jpg | A logo or image for the competition. |
In this section you will learn how to create a competition bundle using an example competition bundle for guidance. The goal of the example competition is to compute the value of pi (3.14...). Each participant submits a single float value and the submission that contains the closest value of pi is the winner.
Competition bundles are structured as follows:
competition.zip
|- competition.yaml
|- data.html
|- evaluation.html
|- logo.jpg
|- overview.html
|- program.zip
|- reference.zip
|- terms_and_conditions.html
Note: There are no .zip archives in the example competition as downloaded. This is so that the files can be properly downloaded. You will need to manually create .zip archives from the program, and reference folders.
The manifest file (competition.yaml) defines all aspects of the competition, and is defined using YAML.
IMPORTANT: When setting timestamps, you must enter time values in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The following examples show the preferred date/time formats to use:
YYYY-MM-DD
end_date: 2014-03-01
specifies a competition end date of March 1st, 2014 at midnight UTC.
YYYY-MM-DD HH-MM
start_date: 2014-03-01 18:15
specifies a start date of March 1st, 2014 at 6:15 PM UTC.
Here's the example competition.yaml:

To make this example complete it's important to understand how to build and package the program.zip and reference.zip referred to in the competition.yaml.
The program.zip bundle contains the program that compares the users submission with the reference data (in the reference.zip bundle) to score the submission. In this case the reference data contains the value of pi. The program.zip bundle computes the absolute difference of the submitted value from the reference value.
Here are the contents of the reference.zip file:
reference.zip
|- answer.txt (Contains: 3.14159265359)
|- metadata (Contains: This is the authoritative result.)
Here are the contents of the program.zip file
program.zip
|- evaluate.exe (The program that is run)
|- metadata (see below for contents)
|- supporting modules and libraries for evaluate.exe to run in isolation.
The program.zip metadata file contains:
command: $program/evaluate.exe $input $output
description: Example competition evaluation program.
1. Add the contents of the example program and reference folders to individual ZIP archives. Using our example competition files, zip the contents of the following folders:
C:\MyCompetition\reference -> reference.zip
C:\MyCompetition\program -> program.zip
2. Create a .zip archive of C:\MyCompetition. This will be known as the "competition bundle".
Follow these steps to upload the competition bundle to CodaLab.

Search for UFC fighter's missing stepdaughter has been halted
by The Associated Press, StaffAUBURN, Ala. -- A Texas-based non-profit that works to find missing people across the country has called off its search for UFC heavyweight Walt Harris' missing stepdaughter.
Destinie Duvall of Texas EquuSearch tells WRBL-TV the horse-mounted search group is heading home after using "every resource available" to search for 19-year-old Aniah Blanchard in Auburn, Alabama.
Blanchard was last seen on Oct. 23 at an Auburn gas station. Her damaged car was later found abandoned.
Twenty-nine-year-old Ibraheem Yazeed has been arrested and charged with first-degree kidnapping. Surveillance video puts him at the gas station at the same time as Blanchard. He was free on bond in an earlier kidnapping case at the time.
The search and rescue group looked in areas along Interstate 85, the Tuskegee National Forest and area waterways, The Opelika-Auburn News reported.
"We've used every resource available to use over the last nine days to locate Aniah," Duvall said. "It's always hard to leave folks without the answer we came here to find."
Texas EquuSearch is hopeful investigators will be able to provide new leads and they could then rejoin the search effort.
"We have faith in the Auburn Police Division, the public and other agencies involved in finding us a new lead," Duvall said. "We're prepared to come back immediately when the call comes."


Tesla flaunts first China-built cars as start of sales nears
by Ville Heiskanen and Chunying ZhangTesla Inc. unveiled its first vehicles built in China, a milestone for Elon Musk’s company as it prepares to start sales of domestically-made electric sedans in the world’s largest auto market.
Assembled in Tesla’s new Shanghai Gigafactory, which only broke ground in January, the first Model 3 sedans came in blue and were emblazoned with the brand name in Chinese characters. Selected local media were invited late last week to test drive the vehicles, which start at about $50,000.
China’s first plant wholly owned by a foreign carmaker — and Tesla’s first outside the U.S. — is a crucial test of Musk’s bid to keep his carmaker profitable as he bets on Chinese demand for electric vehicles.
The plant is producing cars in small quantities as part of preparations. Tesla is working with local authorities to obtain manufacturing certification and hopes to get it by year-end, Chairman Robyn Denholm said last week in Shanghai.

What is grid based design?
Basically every website you look at is designed within a grid. Grid design is achieved by dividing up the page into columns and rows which creates a grid that you can then place the different elements you want to display around the page. For ease of division, there are usually no more than 12 columns on a page.
Whats all the hype about responsive webpages?
Responsive webpages are a way to view any webpage on any device without missing bits of information or having to scroll around the page to find the right content. A responsive webpage will either condense or expand appropriately whilst keeping the design looking good and all the information visible. With all the vast options of media devices these days and smartphone technology, responsive website are indeed all the hype.
What is semantic structure?
Semantic structure is the use of html elements that actually has meaning to the untrained eye, where the word actually is the action. Rather than using other html code language such as div- which is not a word or means nothing to most people, semantic structures are words like form or table.
Any other points you found interesting and want to reflect on.
I liked the place-kitten website, that was a cool demonstration. It was great to know how you add download fonts also. The @media queries were something I think I need to explore more.

Welcome to the Gawad lab! We work at the interface of biotechnology, computational biology, cellular biology, and clinical medicine. We take pride in our ability to think creatively to devise innovative solutions to challenging biological questions. We are focused on studying how the genomes of individual cells evolve when placed under selection pressure, and aim to understand how that genetic diversity contributes to human health and disease.
Cancer genome sequencing studies have shown clonal heterogeneity is the major cause of treatment resistance that ultimately causes cancer to recur. We are now studying the process of clonal evolution while patients are undergoing cancer treatment using single-cell sequencing methods we have developed in the lab. We aim to identify which cancer clonotypes are associated with resistance to specific drugs so we can better understand and predict treatment response.
Infectious diseases continue to be one of the major causes of early mortality worldwide. We are using single-cell sequencing methods we have developed to understand how more virulent pathogens emerge from a population of bacteria or viruses. We are also using these methods to more deeply understand how antibiotic resistance develops.
Although we have made tremendous progress in our ability to interrogate genomes in the past twenty years, we can still do better. We are continuously thinking about ways to improve how we measure genomic variation within a cell. We are also developing novel computational methods for modeling the evolution of populations of cells using single-cell sequencing data.

FSYNC
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (2)
Updated: 2014-08-19
Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
fsync, fdatasync - synchronize a file's in-core state with storage device
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int fsync(int fd);
int fdatasync(int fd);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
fsync():
_BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE
|| /* since glibc 2.8: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L
fdatasync():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
DESCRIPTION
fsync()
transfers ("flushes") all modified in-core data of
(i.e., modified buffer cache pages for) the
file referred to by the file descriptor
fd
to the disk device (or other permanent storage device) so that all
changed information can be retrieved even after the system crashed or
was rebooted.
This includes writing through or flushing a disk cache if present.
The call blocks until the device reports that the transfer has completed.
It also flushes metadata information associated with the file (see
stat(2)).
Calling
fsync()
does not necessarily ensure
that the entry in the directory containing the file has also reached disk.
For that an explicit
fsync()
on a file descriptor for the directory is also needed.
fdatasync()
is similar to
fsync(),
but does not flush modified metadata unless that metadata
is needed in order to allow a subsequent data retrieval to be
correctly handled.
For example, changes to
st_atime
or
st_mtime
(respectively, time of last access and
time of last modification; see
stat(2))
do not require flushing because they are not necessary for
a subsequent data read to be handled correctly.
On the other hand, a change to the file size
(st_size,
as made by say
ftruncate(2)),
would require a metadata flush.
The aim of
fdatasync()
is to reduce disk activity for applications that do not
require all metadata to be synchronized with the disk.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return zero.
On error, -1 is returned, and
errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- EBADF
-
fd
is not a valid open file descriptor.
- EIO
-
An error occurred during synchronization.
- EROFS, EINVAL
-
fd
is bound to a special file which does not support synchronization.
CONFORMING TO
4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
AVAILABILITY
On POSIX systems on which
fdatasync()
is available,
_POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO
is defined in
<unistd.h>
to a value greater than 0.
(See also
sysconf(3).)
NOTES
On some UNIX systems (but not Linux),
fd
must be a
writable
file descriptor.
In Linux 2.2 and earlier,
fdatasync()
is equivalent to
fsync(),
and so has no performance advantage.
The
fsync()
implementations in older kernels and lesser used filesystems
does not know how to flush disk caches.
In these cases disk caches need to be disabled using
hdparm(8)
or
sdparm(8)
to guarantee safe operation.

Huge lorry emblazoned with 'in the quiet lane' stuck in narrow village road - for two days
The truck is stuck in Rock Street in the small village of Croscombe near Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
by James Rodger, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalistThese pictures show a massive lorry featuring the slogan 'in the quiet lane' stuck in a narrow village road - for two days.
The truck is stuck in Rock Street in the small village of Croscombe near Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
Stranded on a steep hill in the rural village it appears the lorry is certainly in a tight spot with one local describing it "as well and truly stuck."
One resident said this sort of incident is "a regular occurrence" on the narrow lane.
Reportedly the lorry has been jammed in place since lunch time on Tuesday.
The truck appears to belong to British Gypsum which makes soundproof plasterboard and features the slogan: 'in the quiet lane'.
Andrew Plant, @BeebJournalist, said: Chaos in Croscombe. Locals say this happens half a dozen times a year - but this is by far the biggest blockage they’ve had in their village.
''The lorry came through the village yesterday following a sat nav. Now it can’t go forward - or back - and is blocking the road. Locals say it was wedged between houses at one point.''

OOP Concepts

Today we'll discuss variable scope in Ruby. What kinds of variables does Ruby support? Where are they accessible? When would you use them and what makes them different? I believe the following article taken from techotopia.com sums it up quite nicely: What is variable scope?
Scope defines where in a program a variable is accessible. Ruby has four types of variable scope, local, global, instance and class. In addition, Ruby has one constant type. Each variable type is declared by using a special character at the start of the variable name as outlined in the following table.
| Name Begins With | Variable Scope |
|---|---|
$ | A global variable |
@ | An instance variable |
[a-z] or _ | A local variable |
[A-Z] | A constant |
@@ | A class variable |
In addition, Ruby has two pseudo-variables which cannot be assigned values. These are nil which is assigned to uninitialized variables and self which refers to the currently executing object. In the remainder of this chapter we will look at each of these variable scopes in turn.
Detecting the Scope of a Ruby Variable
Obviously, you can tell the scope of a variable by looking at the name. Sometimes, however, you need to find out the scope programmatically. A useful technique to find out the scope of a variable is to use the defined? method. defined? will return the scope of the variable referenced, or nil if the variable is not defined in the current context:
x = 10 => 10 defined? x => "local-variable" $x = 10 => 10 defined? $x => "global-variable"
Ruby Local Variables
Local variables are local to the code construct in which they are declared. For example, a local variable declared in a method or within a loop cannot be accessed outside of that loop or method. Local variable names must begin with either an underscore or a lower case letter. For example:
loopcounter = 10 _LoopCounter = 20
[edit] Ruby Global Variables
Global variables in Ruby are accessible from anywhere in the Ruby program, regardless of where they are declared. Global variable names are prefixed with a dollar sign ($). For example:
$welcome = "Welcome to Ruby Essentials"
Use of global variables is strongly discouraged. The problem with global variables is that, not only are they visible anywhere in the code for a program, they can also be changed from anywhere in the application. This can make tracking bugs difficult.
It is useful to know, however, that a number of pre-defined global variables are available to you as a Ruby developer to obtain information about the Ruby environment. A brief summary of each of these variables is contained in the following table.
| Variable Name | Variable Value |
|---|---|
$@ | The location of latest error |
$_ | The string last read by gets |
$. | The line number last read by interpreter |
$& | The string last matched by regexp |
$~ | The last regexp match, as an array of subexpressions |
$ n | The nth subexpression in the last match (same as $~[ n] ) |
$= | The case-insensitivity flag |
$/ | The input record separator |
$\ | The output record separator |
$0 | The name of the ruby script file currently executing |
$* | The command line arguments used to invoke the script |
$$ | The Ruby interpreter's process ID |
$? | The exit status of last executed child process |
For example we can execute the gets method to take input from the keyboard, and then reference the $_ variable to retrieve the value entered:
irb(main):005:0> gets hello => "hello\n" irb(main):006:0> $_ => "hello\n"
Alternatively we could find the process ID of the Ruby interpreter:
irb(main):007:0> $$ => 17403
Ruby Class Variables
A class variable is a variable that is shared amongst all instances of a class. This means that only one variable value exists for all objects instantiated from this class. This means that if one object instance changes the value of the variable, that new value will essentially change for all other object instances.
Another way of thinking of thinking of class variables is as global variables within the context of a single class.
Class variables are declared by prefixing the variable name with two @ characters (@@). Class variables must be initialized at creation time. For example:
@@total = 0
Ruby Instance Variables
Instance variables are similar to Class variables except that their values are local to specific instances of an object. For example if a class contains an instance variable called @total, if one instance of the object changes the current value of @total the change is local to only the object that made the change. Other objects of the same class have their own local copies of the variable which are independent of changes made in any other objects.
Instance variables are declared in Ruby by prefixing the variable name with a single @ sign:
@total = 10
Ruby Constant Scope
Ruby constants are values which, once assigned a value, should not be changed. I say should because Ruby differs from most programming languages in that it allows a constant value to be changed after it has been declared, although the interpreter will protest slightly with a warning message.
Constants declared within a class or module are available anywhere within the context of that class or module. Constants declared outside of a class or module are assigned global scope.

In this experiment, we aimed to understand how users currently interact with how-to videos for physical tasks. Specifically, to understand different types of navigation objectives and user intentions, we examined when users broke away from their tasks and actively control the video using a conventional mouse-based video navigation interface like YouTube (on the right).
Pace Control Pause: The most common type of pause was a pause to gain more time. This happens when the user understands the video content but fails to match the pace of the video.
Content Alignment Pause: The second type of pause is a pause to compare what’s in the video with what’s in the hands of the user. This pause precedes the user checking to make sure that their state is similar to that of the video.
Video Control Pause: The final type of pause we observed is a pause for further video control. In this case, the user pauses the video and searches for the next navigation target point on the timeline by either guess-clicking, or scrubbing and examining the thumbnails.
Reference Jump: The first type of jump we observed is a reference jump. In this case, the user jumps backwards in the video to remind themselves of something they saw in the past.
 This jump happens when the user needs to get a better understanding, clarify a possible mistake, or to assure that the current understanding is correct. This jump if often followed by a play or a pause interaction.
Skip Jump: A skip jump is a type of forward jump where the user wants to skip content that is less interesting, like the introduction of the channel or the personal life of theYouTuber.
Peek Jump:The second type of forward jump is a peek jump, where the user wants to skip ahead to see what the user should expect after performing one or a number of steps. This happens when users want to check the intermediate or the final result in order to prepare and also check if the user is on the right track.
Results of our first study show that people often stop and jump within the videos, which requires frequent context switches. To understand what differences might be observed in users’ thoughts and preferences of voice interactions in navigating how-to videos, we built a voice-enabled video player as a research probe. This research probe served as a “tools for design and understanding” not a prototype interface to suggest new interaction techniques. We used our research probe as an apparatus to observe and elicit similarities and differences in user behavior in relation to the different types of pauses and jumps observed with a traditional mouse-based interface.
Our research probe (on the left) allows users to select a YouTube video of their choice and control it with voice. The interface also indicates when it is listening and transcribes commands in real time to provide visual feedback to the user. For example, “I heard: rewind 20 seconds”. We also observed that users use the word “stop” to indicate a higher sense of urgency, or a need to navigate to a very specific point in the video.
Participants found the concept of using voice to navigate how-to videos useful for their tasks. We also noticed users would “stop” or “pause” the video before jumps a lot more often while using voice user interfaces. Jumps with specific references like “go back 20 seconds” is dependent on both the current position and the target, and without the pause the current position would keep changing, resulting inconveniences to adjust the interval or make multiple subsequent jumps. With the mouse interactions, in contrast, users are only specifying the target position and not the origin.
From the previous study, we learned that users’ navigation intents affect their linguistic choices for command utterances. We also observed that commonly supported voice commands are limited to simple words, that it can be difficult for users to express their intents with a restrictive command space, and that it is difficult for systems to understand the intents. For example, different backward jump intents for “stop” and “pause” can only be understood in context of other commands before and after the stop, specifically analyzing preceding and succeeding commands and user goals, which is impractical in application settings where users need systems to understand the user intents in real time.
To inform how to disambiguate voice commands and corresponding user intents for navigating how-to videos, we conducted a Wizard-of-Oz experiment to learn how users would naturally converse for video navigation in the absence of these constraints.
Because of the sequential nature of the video (there is the concept of an unknown future), users often make a guess to navigate forward in the video, or they have to watch less relevant or less interesting segments.
When participants used a specific time interval for jumps, it often required multiple adjustments to navigate to the target even when the participant had a good sense of where the target was. In this case, command parsing delays become an important user interface limitation.
Our study and interview results highlight the challenges, opportunities, and user expectations of using voice interfaces for video tutorials. We first summarize the user challenges of adapting to a VUI from a GUI when learning physical tasks with video tutorials. We then summarize how our research methodology of designing a series of experiments in progression can be extended to designing VUI for other applications and domains.
Mouse vs Voice. We found voice interfaces require an initial pause while issuing subsequent commands. For example, when using voice input in Study 2, users issued a pause command before every rewind command. In contrast, when using the traditional mouse interface, users never paused the video before skipping to another point. We think this is due to the time it takes for the user to speak the voice command and for the system to process it. Also, the target is directly specified with mouse (or touch) but with voice the target is often specified relative to the current position of the video. For example, if the user does not pause the video before jumping, the original reference keeps moving, and the interval they had thought of will not get them to the point they intended. As a result, the larger consequence is that voice-based interactions require more steps to achieve the same objective (i.e., pause + jump) than mouse-based interactions do (i.e., click).
Uncertainty from Unseen Content. When trying to navigate a video tutorial using voice, users make more concrete references to the past, whereas users have challenges describing later part of the video. For traditional video interfaces, scrubbing and clicking around are often used a solution to quickly peeking into the future. However, for voice interfaces, such a solution does not exist yet. Handling this uncertainty is an important design issue which would improve the usability of voice interactions for videos. Recognition of Speech Input and Command Learnability. While the concept of using voice to navigate how-to videos is generally welcomed, participants also reported well-known problems of voice user interfaces. Speech recognition does not always work as expected, especially if users have accents or are in a noisy environment. In Study 2, nine participants also reported difficulty in figuring out the available commands. All participants showed frustration when the system did not respond to their command. Usability of VUI suffers due to relatively poor recognition, poor learnability and discoverability of available commands, and lack of feedback.
Based on our findings and understanding from the three studies, we propose the following recommendations for designing voice based navigation for how-to videos.
Support sequence expansions and command queues as both are strategies users often use. For example, supporting users to perform a single command multiple times in a row by recognizing “again” following “go back 5 seconds”, and supporting users to place multiple commands in one utterance like “go to 2 minutes and 4 second mark and pause” would be useful.
Users often need multiple tries to find the intended navigation target. It is because a) what users remember can be different from the part they are looking for or vice versa, b) sometimes users don’t remember, and c) sometimes users remember but don’t know the exact vocabulary like the names of knitting techniques and tools. Good examples are support for descriptive commands and keyword search in transcripts.
Designing voice commands for how-to videos is not about supporting a single command, but understanding the higher level user intent behind the utterance is crucial. We identified all seven interaction intents (pace control pause, content alignment pause, video control pause, reference jump, replay jump, skip jump, and peek jump) that can be supported. One possible solution in distinguishing them is to set up the command vocabulary such that each intent has its unique keyword.

QUAX is a two player strategy game played on any square board. The author suggests 11x11 (as usual, smaller is more tactical, larger more strategic).
|
| A connecting example
The black stones are connected. The red stones cannot be connected directly. |
|
| Race
to connections
If it's Black turn he wins by playing at cell [1]. If it's Red he must play at [1] and have a powerful threat to win at cell a10, where Black must drop a stone to continue his attack. |
Quax is already available on Richard Rognlie's email server.
Some words from the author:
The main diagonal lines have a similar role to the critical lines in TwixT.
One tactic has become clear:
| A Tesuji Black dropped the marked stone. There's nothing Red can do about it. Black is sure to be able to slide down one side or other, and the 2-chain prevents any double-cut moves. |
Play between the author & page-owner suggests a lot of early moves are best played on the "same-coloured" cells
I'm surprised no-one else seems to have thought of Quax before! I guess they just didn't think of a "diagonal crossing" as being a move; even though it is identical to play on the Archimedean 8/4/4 board:
Connection games seem to be getting names ending with X, (Hex, TwixT), we thought that "Quadrangular Hex" could be usefully shortened to "Quax", which is also the noise made by the winner as he puts in the killing move! :-)

Looping in Ruby versus JavaScript Cheatsheet
Looping in Ruby is quite different than JavaScript. There are a lot of built-in methods that can be confusing at first, but, I my opinion, make programming much simpler. JavaScript requires much more explicit iteration, as we'll see in the below comparisons. We will be comparing .each, while, and .map methods.
A popular Ruby looping method is the each method, which can be replaced with a simple for loop in JavaScript.
# Ruby "each" iterator
myarray.each {
|items|
puts items
}
// JavaScript "for" loop
for (i = 0; i < myarray.length; i++)
{
console.log(myarray[i]);
}
// OR
myarray.forEach(function(n) {
console.log(n);
})
// OR
for (element in myarray){
console.log(element)
}
Both Ruby and JavaScript have while methods that operate similarly on a data collection.
# Ruby "while" loop
counter = myarray.length
while counter > 0 do
puts "myarray[counter-1]"
counter -= 1
end
// JavaScript "while" loop
counter = myarray.length
while (counter > 0)
{
console.log "myarray[counter-1]";
counter--;
}
Ruby and JavaScript both have map methods that work on arrays.
# Ruby "map" method
myarray.map{ |item|
item*2
}
//JavaScript "map" method
var doubles = myarray.map(
function(num) {
return num * 2;
});

In percolation, the water passes through the coffee grounds, gaining soluble compounds to form coffee. Insoluble compounds remain within the coffee filter. Coffee can be brewed in several different ways, but these methods fall into four main groups depending on how the water is introduced to the coffee grounds: decoction (through boiling), infusion (through steeping), gravitational feed (used with percolators and in drip brewing), or pressurized percolation (as with espresso).
Brewed coffee, if kept hot, will deteriorate rapidly in flavor, and reheating such coffee tends to give it a "muddy" flavour, as some compounds that impart flavor to coffee are destroyed if this is done. Even at room temperature, deterioration will occur; however, if kept in an oxygen-free environment it can last almost indefinitely at room temperature, and sealed containers of brewed coffee are sometimes commercially available in food stores in America or Europe, with refrigerated bottled coffee drinks being commonly available at convenience stores and grocery stores in the United States. Canned coffee is particularly popular in Japan and South Korea.
There are many popular ways to brew coffee:
Boiling, or decoction, was the main method used for brewing coffee until the 1930s and is still used in some Nordic and Middle Eastern countries. The aromatic oils in coffee are released at 96 °C (205 °F), which is just below boiling, while the bitter acids are released when the water has reached boiling point.
The simplest method is to put the ground coffee in a cup, pour hot water over it and let cool while the grounds sink to the bottom. This is a traditional method for making a cup of coffee that is still used in parts of Indonesia. This method, known as "mud coffee" in the Middle East owing to an extremely fine grind that results in a mud-like sludge at the bottom of the cup, allows for extremely simple preparation, but drinkers then have to be careful if they want to avoid drinking grounds either from this layer or floating at the surface of the coffee, which can be avoided by dribbling cold water onto the "floaters" from the back of a spoon. If the coffee beans are not ground finely enough, the grounds do not sink.
"Cowboy coffee" is made by heating coarse grounds with water in a pot, letting the grounds settle and pouring off the liquid to drink, sometimes filtering it to remove fine grounds. While the name suggests that this method was used by cowboys, presumably on the trail around a campfire, it is used by others; some people prefer this method.
The above methods are sometimes used with hot milk instead of water.
Turkish coffee (aka Arabic coffee, etc.), a very early method of making coffee, is used in the Middle East, North Africa, East Africa, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, and Russia. Very finely ground coffee, optionally sugar, and water are placed in a narrow-topped pot, called an cezve (Turkish), kanaka (Egyptian), briki (Greek), džezva (Štokavian) or turka (Russian) and brought to the boil then immediately removed from the heat. It may be very briefly brought to the boil two or three times. Turkish coffee is sometimes flavored with cardamom, particularly in Arab countries. The resulting strong coffee, with foam on the top and a thick layer of grounds at the bottom, is drunk from small cups.
A cafetičre, or French press, is a tall, narrow cylinder with a plunger that includes a metal or nylon fine mesh filter. The grounds are placed in the cylinder, and off-the- boil water is then poured into it. The coffee and hot water are left in the cylinder for a few minutes (typically 4–7 minutes) and then the plunger is gently pushed down, leaving the filter immediately above the grounds, allowing the coffee to be poured out while the filter retains the grounds. Depending on the type of filter, it is important to pay attention to the grind of the coffee beans, though a rather coarse grind is almost always called for.
Malaysian and some Caribbean and South American styles of coffee are often brewed using a "sock," which is actually a simple muslin bag, shaped like a filter, into which coffee is loaded, then steeped in hot water. This method is especially suitable for use with local-brew coffees in Malaysia, primarily of the varieties Robusta and Liberica which are often strong-flavored, allowing the ground coffee in the sock to be reused.
Drip brew coffee, also known as filtered or American coffee, is made by letting hot water drip onto coffee grounds held in a coffee filter surrounded by a filter holder or brew basket. Drip brew makers can be simple filter holder types manually filled with hot water, or they can use automated systems as found in the popular electric drip coffee-maker. Strength varies according to the ratio of water to coffee and the fineness of the grind, but is typically weaker than espresso, though the final product contains more caffeine. By convention, regular coffee brewed by this method is served by some restaurants in a brown or black pot (or a pot with a brown or black handle), while decaffeinated coffee is served in an orange pot (or a pot with an orange handle).
The common electric percolator, which was in almost universal use in the United States prior to the 1970s, and is still popular in some households today, differs from the pressure percolator described above. It uses the pressure of the boiling water to force it to a chamber above the grounds, but relies on gravity to pass the water down through the grounds, where it then repeats the process until shut off by an internal timer. Some coffee aficionados hold the coffee produced in low esteem because of this multiple-pass process. Others prefer gravity percolation and claim it delivers a richer cup of coffee in comparison to drip brewing.
Another variation is cold brew coffee, sometimes known as "cold press." Cold water is poured over coffee grounds and allowed to steep for eight to twenty-four hours. The coffee is then filtered, usually through a very thick filter, removing all particles. This process produces a very strong concentrate which can be stored in a refrigerated, airtight container for up to eight weeks. The coffee can then be prepared for drinking by adding hot water to the concentrate at a water-to-concentrate ratio of approximately 3:1, but can be adjusted to the drinker's preference. The coffee prepared by this method is very low in acidity with a smooth taste, and is often preferred by those with sensitive stomachs. Others, however, feel this method strips coffee of its bold flavor and character. Thus, this method is not common, and there are few appliances designed for it.
The amount of coffee used affects both the strength and the flavor of the brew in a typical drip-brewing filtration-based coffee maker. The softer flavors come out of the coffee first and the more bitter flavors only after some time, so a large brew will tend to be both stronger and more bitter. This can be modified by stopping the filtration after a planned time and then adding hot water to the brew instead of waiting for all the water to pass through the grounds.
Espresso is made by forcing hot water at 91–95 °C (195–204 °F) under a pressure of between eight and eighteen bars (800–1800 kPa, 116–261 psi), through a lightly packed matrix, called a "puck," of finely ground coffee. The 30–60 cc (1–2 oz.) beverage is served in demitasse cups; sugar is often added. It is consumed during the day at cafes and from street vendors, or after an evening meal. It is the basis for many coffee drinks. It is one of the most concentrated forms of coffee regularly consumed, with a distinctive flavor provided by crema, a layer of flavorful emulsified oils in the form of a colloidal foam floating on the surface, which is produced by the high pressure. Espresso is more viscous than other forms of brewed coffee.


In this document we define the mapping between language construts in the KBase interface description language to their corresponding constructs in the JSON-RPC wire protocol.
The standard KBase services will respond properly to JSON-RPC
1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 protocol requests.
Service names do not appear explicitly in the wire protocol mapping. Instead, we assume that the JSON-RPC endpoint for each service is well-known via a mechanism outside the scope of this document (e.g. the KBase infrastructure project defines common well-known names of the form http://api.kbase.us/services/<service_name> for each service, and the hosting infrastructure arranges for requests to those names to be routed to the appropriate service handlers).
A service may be composed of multiple modules. The decomposition into modules allows the implementor of a service to split the implementation between multiple source code bases. For example, the Central Store service is composed of two modules, the CDMI-API which contains the hand-written API routines and the CDMI-EntityAPI which contains the routines that are automatically generated from the XML description of the database.
A function definition in KIDL maps to a JSON-RPC RPC call. The method name in the RPC call is the concatenation of the KIDL module name and the KIDL function name.
The parameters to the function are encoded by position as a JSON Array. Each parameter is encoded using the data encoding mechanism discussed below.
The return values from the function are encoded as a JSON Array with one element per return value. A void function will return an empty Array. A function returning one value will return an Array containing one element.
There are a number of possible causes for error returns from a function call. Where possible error returns are noted using the JSON-RPC error object response mechanism. These errors include an error code, a message string, and optional data. If the error was triggered by an exception on the server side as much information as possible (stack traces, etc.) will be included in the data return.
The KIDL data types map to JSON as follows.
| string |

I am not entirely convinced the separation of module and service at the protocol level is a good idea; while it makes sense at the implementation level it may be too much detail to expose to the protocol. Since namespaces between modules in a service must be unique anyway, a service implementation can maintain a mapping on its own to direct the request to the appropriate handler.

HTML and CSS are languages that we need in order to build website. HTML contains the contents of the page such as title, text, images, links, etc. CSS does design of the website like layout, colours, sizes, etc. And DOM understand the languages and represents it on the webpage.
Everything in a webpage is box. Boxifying design means when designing webpage, we need to draw boxes on every elements.
The box model is used when designing CSS layouts which contains 4 boxes: margin(outside), border, padding and content(inside). Every HTML element has box model and it's easy to manage them by coding on css. (e.g. margin:20px;)


Statistical Analysis in R
Working with Strings
How to Build Software
Final Project Discussion
In this section, we're going to walk through all the steps of basic statistical analysis: getting data, exploring it, creating feature, building models, evaluating models, and comparing those models' performance.
We're going to work with R's swiss dataset. This cross-sectional dataset contains measures of fertility and some economic indicators collected in Switzerland in 1888. Our first task will be to load the data and immediately hold out a piece of it as testing data. The idea here is that when we evaluate the performance of our models later on, it will be better to do it on data that the models haven't seen. This will give a more honest picture of how well they might perform on new data.
In this exercise, we're going to evaluate the following question: Can we predict fertility based on regional socioeconomic characteristics?
Please follow along in "Statistical Analysis", in the programming supplement.
Once you've split your data into training and test, you should start poking it a bit to see if you find anything interesting. You can use str()
to view the contents of your data objects, summary()
to view some basic summary statistics on data frame columns, and cor()
to get a correlation matrix between all pairs of numeric variables.
# Look at the structure
str(swiss)
## 'data.frame': 47 obs. of 6 variables:
## $ Fertility : num 80.2 83.1 92.5 85.8 76.9 76.1 83.8 92.4 82.4 82.9 ...
## $ Agriculture : num 17 45.1 39.7 36.5 43.5 35.3 70.2 67.8 53.3 45.2 ...
## $ Examination : int 15 6 5 12 17 9 16 14 12 16 ...
## $ Education : int 12 9 5 7 15 7 7 8 7 13 ...
## $ Catholic : num 9.96 84.84 93.4 33.77 5.16 ...
## $ Infant.Mortality: num 22.2 22.2 20.2 20.3 20.6 26.6 23.6 24.9 21 24.4 ...
Hypothesis tests can be enormously valuable tools for discovering differences in datasets and evaluates relationships between variables.
One approach to looking for statistically interesting features (right-hand-side variables) involves binning those variables into "above median" and "below median", and using a paired t-test to see whether or not the variable is statistically related to the target.
# 1. Is fertility very different in provinces with above-median % of men in Agriculture
swiss$majority_agg <- swiss$Agriculture > median(swiss$Agriculture)
t.test(
Fertility ~ majority_agg
, data = swiss
)
For more, see "Hypothesis Testing" in the programming supplement.
OK now that we've done some basic preprocessing and exploration, it's time to start fitting models! Let's begin with a simple one-variable OLS regression, estimated using the lm()
command.
# Simple regression: Fertility = f(Agriculture)
mod1 <- lm(
Fertility ~ Agriculture
, data = swiss
)
Once you have the fitted model, you can pass it and some new data to predict()
to generate predictions. Model evaluation metrics commonly used in regression problems:
The error metric calculations and plotting we just did seem general enough to apply to other models of this phenomenon. Since we could reuse the code for other models, we should just wrap it in a function so it's easy to call downstream.
Wrapping your analytics pipeline in a function has a few other benefits:
For more, see the "Wrap Parts of Your Pipeline in Functions" in the programming supplement.
To add more variables to a model in R, you have to use formula notation. I've specified specific right-hand side variables in this case, but if you want to express the idea "all of the X variables", you can use a statement like Fertility ~ .
.
# Fit
mod2 <- lm(
Fertility ~ Education + Infant.Mortality + Examination_above_median
, data = swiss
)
# Predict + Evaluate
regPreds2 <- EvaluateModel(
mod2
, testDF = swissTestDF
, modelName = "Expanded OLS"
)
Linear regressions aren't the right tool when the relationships between the independent variables and the target are non-linear. In this situation, regression trees might perform better.
See A Visual Introduction to Machine Learning for a nice visual overview of the key concepts.
For larger datasets, you may find that a single decision tree does not perform well. It's common to use a "forest" of decision trees.

See the "Random Forests" in the programming supplement for an example.
For a prediction tasks, you want the model that you think will perform best on new data. To get at this, you can compare how well different models perform on the held-out "test" dataset.
See the "Model Evaluation" in the programming supplement for an example.
In this section, we'll combine many of the techniques you've learned so far to show how R can be used to explore text data.
See "Text Processing" in the programming supplement.
Working with text often involves searching for patterns. Many programming languages can understand "regular expressions", a special format for expressing the pattern you want to find.
See "Regular Expressions" in the programming supplement.
The next task we need to accomplish is tokenizing our text, i.e. splitting lines and sentences into individual words. These individual words can then be used downstream to build a language model and identify key terms.
See "Tokenization" in the programming supplement.
OK so you have a business question, you've chosen your toolchain (presumably with R), and you have some data in hand. You sit down to write code and, well...
In this section, we'll to walk through the process of building a non-trivial script from scratch.
Resist the urge to just start writing code. Investing a few minutes upfront in thinking through the structure of your code will pay off in a big way as the project evolves and grows more complicated. Trust me.
First, just write down the main things you want to do. In this exercise, we're going to write some R code that can generate n-page "books" or random sentences in English.
#=== Write an R script that writes a book! ===#
# Function to create random sentences
# Function to create a "page" with n sentences
# Function to create a "book" with m pages
# Call the book function and create a 5-page book
Next, fill in the high-level outline with slightly more specifics. Try to strategize about the functions you'll need to implement and the individual steps that will have to happen inside each of those functions. This will probably change once you start writing code, but in my experience it's always easier to have a plan and change it.
You'll spend the most time on this and you will have to go through it many times before you're feeling comfortable with the code.
See "Pirate Book Example" in the programming supplement for an example.
For your final project, you'll be presenting your code to your classmates in a "code review" style presentation. This should be an informal conversation, not a formal presentation with slides.
Try to hit these main points:
Use this slide as a general reference of coding best practices.

This is a to-be CRUD site where I can show off my collection of kendamas. I started playing kendama around Summer '15. My brother had brough one home from a friend's house. I wasn't too impressed when i first saw it. This all changed when I did a quick search on the internet and saw the tricks that you could do with it. I remember that night attempting to try the basic moshikame. It took me about a day or so before I could do it, after that I was hooked.
you can add a new kendama here


First things first, you need to properly structure your project. A quick guide on how to structure a python library can be found at the following links: in french and in english.
We will take one example: the sample
python package…which only purpose is to explain how to properly structure and distribute a project. The sources can be found on GitHub.
Here is how the library is structured:
qdouasbin@jolly:~/Desktop/sampleproject>find . | sed -e "s/[^-][^\/]*\// |/g" -e "s/|\([^ ]\)/|-\1/"
.
|-tests
| |-test_simple.py
| |-__init__.py
|-MANIFEST.in
|-README.md
|-setup.py
|-tox.ini
|-sample
| |-__init__.py
| |-package_data.dat
|-setup.cfg
|-LICENSE.txt
|-data
| |-data_file
In short:
- the repository must contain a
setup.py
file to easily install your library using the nice and simple install mechanisms described above. You can also specify your configuration in thesetup.cfg
but thesetup.py
still need to be present. More info here - your sources must be contained in a folder named as the library name (here the
sample
directory) you want to create, - you should have a LICENSE.txt or LICENSE.md explicitly explaining under which software license your packages falls into,
- the
README.md
(orREADME.rst
) should explain what your library does and how you install it. (TheMANIFEST.in
is - you should have a
tests
folder containing unit tests, - the documentation related to you project should be contained in the
docs
folder - a
requirement.txt
file containing all the dependencies (i.e. the python packages needed by your library)
To create a pip-installable package you need to create a setup.py. To test that your setup.py
works you need to run the pip install .
in the folder containing the setup.py
. If it doesn’t work you need to:
pip uninstall my_project
- modify the
setup.py
- re-run the
pip install .
command
There are a lot of ways to populate a setup.py
file as there are many options.
The best option here is to start from an existing one and modify it to your needs.
You can take the one of the sample
project for example or the template_module example if you have access to Nitrox (you might need to ask the rights to access this repository to Corentin Lapeyre).
More on this topic can be found in the setuptools’ documentation setuptools’ documentation.

Ella is a fully distributed publish/subscribe (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publish-subscribe_pattern for the basic concept) middleware written in pure C# and compatible with Mono.
It is also a very useful tool to build non-distributed applications. The Networking part can be completely disabled. Then Ella is used to enable composability, scalability, flexibility for your application.
Ella handles all the communication needed to transfer data from a producer to a consumer with no need to care if both are on the same or on different nodes in your network. It discoveres other nodes which run Ella instances, so you do not have to care about
how to scale your application.
Ella is based on the type-based pub/sub flavour because it is most intuitive to handle and does not require topic conventions (in topic-based pub/sub) or a dedicated query mechanism for properties (in case of content-based pub/sub).
You can find the API reference in the release file or download it here
An introductory article to Ella has been posted on Codeproject.
The goal in designing Ella was to make it most easy to use for developers. Thus, it does not require any inheriting from base classes or instance handling (you'll never see an Ella-object you have to use to call Ella-specific methods). Instead, we use Attributes
to mark classes as publishers or subscribers (and for other stuff too) and provide a static facade to interact with the Middleware System. This facade is designed with intuitive and fluent use in mind.
So you'll see a lot of code like
Subscribe.To<String>()
or
Start.Publisher(p).
You might ask why we call our middleware Ella......
The short answer: Because we can.
The Long answer: ever tried to find a meaningful name (or acronym) for a project? Then you know the problem.  into an acronym we decided to go for a different approach.
Being big fans of Jazz music, we decided to name the system after the greatest Jazz singer in history: Ella Fitzgerald. That's the story. It also makes it very easy to find release code names ;)

Jennifer Lopez to Receive Palm Springs Film Festival's Spotlight Award
“Hustlers” star will receive honor at festival’s opening gala on Jan. 2
by Jeremy Fuster“Hustlers” star Jennifer Lopez will receive the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Spotlight Award at its annual Film Awards Gala, which will be held on Jan. 2 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
“Jennifer Lopez is a star in every sense of the word, and you will experience this in her latest film ‘Hustlers.’Starting with her show-stopping entrance Jennifer brings to life the character of Ramona, an exotic dancer, who leads a group of dancer friends to steal money from their clients,” festival chairman Harold Matzner said in a statement. “For this full-force yet grounded performance, deserving of awards consideration, we are thrilled to present Jennifer Lopez with this year’s Spotlight Award.”
Also Read:
Lopez, who made her feature film debut in the 1995 family drama “Mi Familia,” joins a list of Spotlight Awards recipients that includes Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain, Helen Hunt, Allison Janney, Rooney Mara and Julia Roberts. All recipients have been nominated for an Oscar in the year they were selected, with Janney winning Best Supporting Actress for her work in “I, Tonya.” Lopez, too, is considered a top contender in that category at both the Academy Awards and Golden Globes.
Palm Springs will be a part of a busy winter for Lopez. Along with a potential awards race, she will host “Saturday Night Live” in December and will perform alongside Shakira at the Super Bowl halftime show in Miami a week before Oscar Sunday.
Other stars and filmmakers from this year’s top films that will be honored at Palm Springs alongside Lopez include “The Irishman” director Martin Scorsese, “Bombshell” star and producer Charlize Theron, “Joker” star Joaquin Phoenix and “Judy” star Renee Zellweger.

THE POSTMAN A film review by Joan Ellis Copyright 1995 Nebbadoon Syndicate
THE POSTMAN is a beautiful, heartbreaking movie about a very different kind of friendship in an outpost of the old world. Mario (Massimo Troisi), the reluctant fisherman in a fishermen's culture, catches cold every time he sets foot in a boat. He takes a modest job delivering mail by bicycle to Pablo Neruda (Phillipe Noiret), the renowned poet living in exile from Chile. Poetry becomes their connection.
The friendship of the unlikely pair speaks the sad truth that we can rarely tell our friends about the inner forces that drive us through life. Much later, in despair, Mario returns to the poet's house to revisit the place that had once been alive with the sounds and sights of emotional discovery. In the silence that now envelops it, the loss of joy is simply overwhelming. It is a wrenching scene.
 He has fallen in love with Beatrice, and he turns to the poet, Neruda, for help in overcoming the halting awkwardness he brings to the courtship. The friendship between the exalted poet and the postman is sublime, the sadness of it is unbearable.
The simple dedication, "To our friend Massimo," is a deeply simple tribute to Massimo Troisi, the actor who died at 41, one day after filming ended and just before the surgery he had postponed in order to finish the film. Hobbled by illness during the production, he was driven to deliver this message about heartbreak and friendship. We can all be grateful that he felt so strongly.

THE MATCHMAKER (Gramercy) Starring: Janeane Garofolo, David O'Hara, Milo O'Shea, Jay O. Sanders, Denis Leary. Screenplay: Karen Janszen, Louis Nowra and Producers: Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Luc Roeg. Director: Mark Joffe. MPAA Rating: R (profanity, adult themes) Running Time: 97 minutes.
Long-time readers of this space will recall that I have never promoted the myth of critical objectivity. I am merely a man, folks, a flesh-and-blood film fan with preferences and pet peeves just like everyone else. Brilliant special effects will never move me like a brilliant script will. I'm indifferent about baseball, but I love baseball movies. "Heartwarming comedies" leave me cold. I'm too easy on Woody Allen sometimes. And so on.
THE MATCHMAKER appears to have been made with a direct network connection to my cinematic soft spots. Put Janeane Garofolo in a leading role, and I'm yours to lose. Set a story in Ireland, and the battle for my affections is half won. Put Janeane Garofolo in a leading role in a story set in Ireland...well, now you're just not playing fair. Their combined charm is irresistable, flimsy though the story may be.
Garofolo plays Marcy Tizard, a second-tier worker for the re-election campaign of Massachusetts senator John McGlory (Jay O. Sanders). Trailing badly in the pools, McGlory and his campaign manager Nick Ward (Denis Leary) come up with a desperate plan to win over the state's Irish vote: McGlory will visit with his actual kin in Ireland. The job of actually finding those kin is left to Marcy, who is sent to the small coastal town of Ballinagra to dig up McGlory's roots. Little does she know that she'll be landing in the middle of the town's annual match-making festival, or that the town's leading matchmaker (Milo O'Shea) has his eye on fixing up Marcy with an enigmatic local fellow named Sean (David O'Hara).
On a number of levels, it's clear that THE MATCHMAKER needs a bit more fleshing out. Character development for Marcy is sorely lacking, leaving plenty of unanswered questions about her as she heads to Ireland. What is her life like in America? What kind of romantic history does she bring to her relationship with Sean? Why is she working for a pea-brain like McGlory whose campaign slogan ("Hey Ho Let's Go") is a Ramones lyric? In short, who is Marcy, besides a character for Janeane Garofolo to play? Her relationship with Sean (nicely played by David O'Hara as a fiery idealist) is better developed than you find in most romantic comedies, but we never understand why it might be truly important to Marcy. It's all very pleasant, in an inconsequential sort of way.
Then again, if you add up all the things about THE MATCHMAKER which are very pleasant, you have a fairly pleasant film experience. First there is Garofolo herself, a screen presence unlike any other in film.  She doesn't have as strong a character to latch on to as she had in THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS & DOGS, but she's still an energetic presence who's easy to root for. O'Hara is also quite pleasant, as is O'Shea as the ethically shaky matchmaker. And of course there's the scenery and the local Irish color, which is very pleasant indeed.
THE MATCHMAKER has a heavy strain of fish-out-of-water comedy to it, but it rarely reeks of formula thanks to Mark Joffe's low-key direction and Garofolo's ability to underplay a reaction take. Still, as the film strolls along towards its conclusion with a few unnecessary intrusions by the political sub-plot, it might be seen as a bit uninspired and tedious, objectively speaking. I'm not objectively speaking, of course. One viewer might find little to like about THE MATCHMAKER. Another -- who shall remain nameless -- might spend 95 minutes smiling at a friendly face in a friendly place.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 match shticks: 6.
