| Two late
goals from hosts Corby Town sent Stewarts & Lloyds tumbling to
defeat in the Bob Cumming Memorial Cup match at the Rockingham Triangle
on 7 August. S&L failed to take their chances with the game goalless and fell behind after 85 minutes when Bobby White put the Steelmen in front and sixty seconds later Brian Hardie sealed a 2-0 victory for the Steelmen. |
| Stotfold regain Jan Anderson Memorial Cup |
| Stotfold
demolished near neighbours Arlesey to win the Jan Anderson Memorial Cup
on 5 August at Roker. Eagles player manager Steve Cook opened the scoring against one of his former clubs just ten minutes in and Stotfold had the trophy all but won when Justin Griffith added a 55th minute second with Luke Gregson making it three five minutes later. An emphatic victory was completed by Wes Byrne five minutes from the end of the contest. |

| Come And Sit With Us |
| 'Come And
Sit With Us', a history of Boston Town FC, was launched at the
Poachers' match with Boston United on 14 July. Boston born journalist Simon Ashberry has written the book which charts the Poachers' history from their foundation in 1964 when neighbours Boston United dropped out of senior football and a group of supporters formed their own club to keep semi pro football alive in the town. The book charts the many highlights in the club's history which include championships in five different leagues, an FA Cup run which saw the Poachers take on Barnsley, an FA Trophy giant killing against holders Stafford and a Vase run to the brink of Wembley. The 200 page book which includes 50 or so archive photographs, is priced at £10. Copies can be obtained at the ground on matchdays or ordered online at www.bostontownfc.co.uk . |

| Poachers give United a scare |
| The Boston
derby at Tattershall Road on 14 July saw the Poachers attract a crowd
of 990, their biggest attendance since they played Taunton in the 1994
FA Vase semi-final. Bob Don-Duncan's side acquitted themselves well and United only took charge of the match in the closing stages. Summer signing Danny Matson fired the Poachers ahead with a 17th minute debut strike, and they stayed in front until Gary Ellender hauled the Poachers on terms after 68 minutes. United went in front after 82 minutes through Matthew O'Halloran with Simon Rusk sealing their victory in the dying seconds. |
| Record crowd watch Newport take on Dons |
| A record
crowd of around a thousand packed into Willen Road on 10 July to see
Newport Pagnell set the ball rolling on the 2004-05 season against the
newly named Milton Keynes Dons, who were playing their first match
under their new identity. Goals from Wade Small on the half hour, Jamie Mackie after 52 minutes and Malvin Kamara after 61 minutes gave the Dons a 3-0 success. |

| A History of Football in Bugbrooke |
| A history
of Bugbrooke St Michaels FC, entitled 'A History of Football in
Bugbrooke' has recently been published. The book charts the progress made by the Badgers since their formation in 1929, with a mention of predecessor clubs in the village which set the ball rolling over a century ago. Club president John Curtis has compiled the book. With spells as manager, general manager and chairman behind him he is eminently qualified to do so, the publication also reveals that he was one of the club's star graduates as a player, joining Northampton Town as a professional on leaving school having played for Bugbrooke from the age of 13! The main feature of the book is an array of over 200 photographs, including a stunning panoramic cover photograph of the village taken from the air. Many of the club's highlights are recorded by cuttings from the press of the day. Bugbrooke St Michaels prides itself on being a 'community club' as acknowledged by the award of the Community Clubs Charter Standard by the Football Association in 2004. The success of its youth policy over the years can be seen from the high number of players in photographs of the senior teams in 2004 who also featured in photographs of the youth teams a decade or so ago. The book is available from Badgers secretary Roger Geary, 31 Kislingbury Road, Bugbrooke, Northampton NN7 3QG.


Crowd Flow allows users to create their campaign page with which they raise money only for genuine cause. All raised funds are transferred to the beneficiary within the promised time, after the deduction of Crowd Flow’s commission/fees. Majority of campaigns are run to raise money for medical bills or education fees. In both cases, the due diligence is done with the respective hospital/education institution to verify the claim and money is transferred directly to the hospital or education institution. In certain cases, a part of the raised funds is transferred to the individual also to cover post-treatment costs or other costs around education.


This is our project for 1.19. Our program is a bug stopping on a flower and the flower and bot changing color. We used loops to create the flower which Nathan and Jaethan worked on. Roxie put the colors which includes background. I went back to proofread the code so there wasn't any syntax errors.
This is our second project. Our program is a PacMan styled game and works by using arrow keys. There is a shark in the middle and fish surronding it in the maze. The goal is to eat as many fish as you can, however if you hit a wall your score restarts. We used our knowledge of making a maze to create an obstacle in the game.

In addition to basic region management, partitioned regions include options for high availability, data location control, and data balancing across the distributed system.
-
To use partitioned regions, you should understand how they work and your options for managing them.
Configuring Partitioned Regions
Plan the configuration and ongoing management of your partitioned region for host and accessor members and configure the regions for startup.
Configuring the Number of Buckets for a Partitioned Region
Decide how many buckets to assign to your partitioned region and set the configuration accordingly.
Custom-Partitioning and Colocating Data
You can customize how Apache Geode groups your partitioned region data with custom partitioning and data colocation.
Configuring High Availability for Partitioned Regions
By default, Apache Geode stores only a single copy of your partitioned region data among the region’s data stores. You can configure Geode to maintain redundant copies of your partitioned region data for high availability.
Configuring Single-Hop Client Access to Server-Partitioned Regions
Single-hop data access enables the client pool to track where a partitioned region’s data is hosted in the servers. To access a single entry, the client directly contacts the server that hosts the key, in a single hop.
Rebalancing Partitioned Region Data
In a distributed system with minimal contention to the concurrent threads reading or updating from the members, you can use rebalancing to dynamically increase or decrease your data and processing capacity.
Checking Redundancy in Partitioned Regions
Under some circumstances, it can be important to verify that your partitioned region data is redundant and that upon member restart, redundancy has been recovered properly across partitioned region members.
Moving Partitioned Region Data to Another Member
You can use the
PartitionRegionHelper
moveBucketByKey
andmoveData
methods to explicitly move partitioned region data from one member to another.


Psalm 51
For the chief musician. A psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had slept with Bathsheba.
1 Have mercy on me, God, because of your covenant faithfulness;
for the sake of the multitude of your merciful actions, blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, I have sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
you are right when you speak;
you are correct when you judge.
5 See, I was born in iniquity;
as soon as my mother conceived me, I was in sin.
6 See, you desire trustworthiness in my heart;
in my heart you will make me know wisdom.
7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Make me hear joy and gladness
so that the bones that you have broken may rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Do not drive me away from your presence,
and do not take your holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and sustain me with a willing spirit.
13 Then will I teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will be converted to you.
14 Forgive me for shedding blood, God of my salvation,
and I will shout for the joy of your righteousness.
15 Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will express your praise.
16 For you do not delight in sacrifice, or I would give it;
you have no pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit.
You, God, will not despise a broken and a contrite heart.
18 Do good in your good pleasure to Zion;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then will you delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then our people will offer bulls on your altar.

We begin this journal in the belief that the artistic movement known as modernism produced the most radical and comprehensive changes in western culture since romanticism. Here would be the place to list those changes, if only they were all nameable and known, like characters in a chapter of yesterday's reading. Instead we sense that the effects of modernism still reverberate through all the arts, and its products surround us in the buildings where we work, the houses and apartments where we live, and even the chairs where we sit now trying to itemize its effects. Modernism was more than a repertory of artistic styles, more too than an intellectual movement or set of ideas; it initiated an ongoing transformation in the entire set of relations governing the production, transmission, and reception of the arts. The modernists themselves seem to have understood this when they urged that changes in the arts be viewed in conjunction with changes in philosophy, historiography, and social theory, to say nothing of the scientific shifts that they claimed as part of their moment's cultural revolution. The success of modernism was so great that we all feel ourselves to be latecomers: postmodernism is the term now invoked to assert an epochal shift away from our parents' perspective.
We hope that every issue of will convey some sense of the grand ambition and scope of artists and intel-lectuals of the first half of this century. This is to say that this journal will look widely at the art and thought of this period, but also that we want to examine the sense of contestation that was essential to it: between old and new orders, of course, but also among various divi-sions of the intellectual endeavor. We hope for a journal that not only records and explains some of the crossings between architecture and political thought, say, or between music and economics; we want the essays and reviews we publish to attempt similar crossings. We will be pleased to publish essays and reviews by sociologists on literary history, for example. We won't always be able to find this sort of work, but we will always be looking for it, and will regularly ask our authors to push toward their neighboring disciplines in the hope that readers will recognize the appropriateness of this ambition in a journal devoted to the study of modernism, even when they may disapprove of poachers on their own particular territory.
The particular examples of border crossing that we've cited will suggest one of the two major ambitions of the journal. One is simply to maintain a sense of the international dimensions of modernism. An essay about a New Jersey poet, as is evident in this first issue, may sit next to another about German expansion into Poland. Our other, more difficult objective is to bring into dialogue writers in the social sciences engaged by issues of modernity and modernization and scholars of the literary and fine arts committed to the history of modernism in the arts. Scholars of the humanities have borrowed a great deal lately from social, political, and economic historians, and procedures of literary inter-pretation have influenced the writing of history as well; but we have a long way to go before we can claim that these two large divisions of professional intellectual activity are in dialogue with one another. In the pages to follow we intend to experiment with various ways of encouraging collaboration, though we know that it will be much easier to retain the international scope of modernism than it will be to facilitate exchange across the disciplinary boundaries separating literary critics and political theorists, economists and musicologists.
For the first few issues of we have chosen themes that will allow us to draw into the journal writers from various scholarly disciplines. Our first theme is modernism and race, a subject crucial both to modernism and to the social transformations of modernity. For while the modernists frequently advocated internationalism in art and politics, they also drew on folk or ethnic traditions that seemed to preserve intact vestiges of sensibilities not yet tainted by the processes of modernization, doing so in a period that also experienced intense nationalism in Europe and the mounting force of interethnic encounters mediated through travel, immigration, colonialism, and early anthropology. We have had no difficulty finding fascinating work on this topic--indeed we have given over our first two issues to it. Although we have seen many studies of aspects of this subject in the past few years, we want to hold this focus long enough to suggest how the history of modernism might look if we took race as an originating concern of modernism, as some of the authors included in this issue argue that we should. Future issues will take up such themes as anarchism, religion and secularity, fascism and culture, and the institutions of art, and we will devote some issues to single res or movements such as F.T. Marinetti and the Futurists, Wyndham Lewis, and Igor Stravinsky.
Although our editorial policies are not intended to encourage methodological conformity of any sort, the essays that appear in this first issue will rightly suggest that the journal will be primarily concerned with historical understanding, though that is an umbrella to cover a crowd. We do hope to attract writers of various methodological and political commitments to contribute to this collaborative effort, and we want as well to include the work of writers, musicians, and artists as well as professional scholars. We will try to attract to these pages work by established and well-known scholars as well as by young and lesser-known writers. What we will ask of all our authors is a commitment to clear expression with a minimum of specialized terminology; a plain style, we think, is necessary to an interdisciplinary effort like the one we've described.
Those are our hopes and desires, but the product of our efforts will doubtless turn out to be quite different from what we expect. This is after all a collaborative effort with colleagues from whom we have not yet heard. We hope for a conversation whose outcome is hard to foresee.
We have received encouragement and moral support from many colleagues at Yale and Chicago, and elsewhere too. Here we want to record our gratitude to Charles H. Long, Deputy Provost at Yale, and Philip Gossett, Dean of the Humanities Division at Chicago, without whose material support we could not have started this project. Now we look forward to the support of our subscribers to keep us going.

Introduction to Fractals
A fractal is a geometric figure, each part of which has the same statistical character as the whole. If the replication is exactly the same at every scale, it is called a self-similar pattern. The Sierpinski Gasket, shown on the right of this page, is an example of a self-similar fractal.
Scroll down to learn more about fractals.
Notice how the overall figure is made up of three identical figures that are half of its width and height.
Alternatively, it can be said that the overall figure is made up of nine identical figures that are a fourth of its width and height. Or even 27 identical figures that are an eigth of its width and height.
We can keep on saying that the figure is made of many more and much smaller identical figures, but it is more practical to say that the fractal is made with the the least and largest iterations. Which in this case is just three identical figures at half the width and height.
Building a Fractal
To build a self-similar fractal, we need to start with an image. In this tutorial we will use a square. In general, it does not matter what image you start with.
We then manipulate the image by giving it commands. We can give the image 5 different commands.
Please note that in this mini-tutorial, we will use the full cartesian coordinate system, that is, we will use both a positive and negative x-axis as well as both a positive and negative y-axis.
However, normally when making fractals we will only use the positive cartesian coordinate system, that is we will only use the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis. Anything outside of the positive cartesian coordinate system will not be seen.
Command 1a: We can scale down the width of the image on the x-axis.
Here we show an example of the image's width being scaled down by 0.5
Command 1b: If we scale the image's width by a negative number, then the image's width is scaled down AND flipped on the y-axis. That is, the new image is a reflection of the original image.
Here is an example of the image's width being scaled down by -0.5, that is, the width is scaled-down to half again, but the image is now reflected on the y-axis.
Command 2a: We can scale down the height of the image on the y-axis.
Here we show an example of the image's height being scaled down by 0.5
Command 2b: If we scale the image's height by a negative number, then the image's height is scaled down AND flipped on the x-axis. That is, the new image is a reflection of the original image.
Here is an example of the image's height being scaled down by -0.5, that is, the height is scaled-down to half again, but the image is now reflected on the x-axis.
Command 3: We can rotate the image counter-clockwise. Rotation always happens on (0,0) axis and are measured in degrees.
Here we rotate the image by 45 degrees.
Command 4a: We can move the image to a coordinate on the x-axis. Horizontal movement always starts on x = 0, so it does not matter if the image was flipped or rotated.
Here we move the image, scaled-down by half, to the right by 0.5
Command 4b: Here we again scale down the image by half, but this time we scale down the image's width by -.5. We then move the scaled-down image to the right by 0.5
Command 5a: We can move the image to a coordinate on the y-axis. Vertical movement always starts on y = 0, so it does not matter if the image was flipped or rotated.
Here we move the image, scaled-down by half, upwards by 0.5
Command 5b: Here we again scale down the image by half, but this time we scale down the image's height by -.5. We then move the scaled-down image upwards by 0.5
The commands are given to the image in the same order that they were presented:
- First we scale-down the image.
- Then we rotate the image.
- And then we move the image to new (x,y) coordinates.
Example #1
The Sierpinski gasket that we showed earlier is created by giving an original image three different sets of commands.
The first set of rules are:
Scale-Width: 0.5
Scale-Height: 0.5
Rotation Angle: 0 degrees
X-Coordinate: 0.0
Y-Coordinate: 0.0
The second set of rules are:
Scale-Width: 0.5
Scale-Height: 0.5
Rotation Angle: 0 degrees
X-Coordinate: 0.5
Y-Coordinate: 0.0
The third and final set of rules are:
Scale-Width: 0.5
Scale-Height: 0.5
Rotation Angle: 0 degrees
X-Coordinate: 0.0
Y-Coordinate: 0.5
We then iterate this pattern 10 times to see the outcome
The Sierpinski Gasket shows that we don't need a particularly complex algorithm to make a beautiful fractal. In fact, the algorithm needed to make the Sierpinski Gasket only uses three rules
Example #2
It turns out we make a large number of fractals with just three rules. Try to figure out how to make this fractal before looking at the rules.
The first set of rules are:
Scale-Width: -0.5
Scale-Height: 0.5
Rotation Angle: 90 degrees
X-Coordinate: 0.5
Y-Coordinate: 0.5
The second set of rules are:
Scale-Width: 0.5
Scale-Height: 0.5
Rotation Angle: -90 (or 270) degrees
X-Coordinate: 0.5
Y-Coordinate: 0.5
The third and final set of rules are:
Scale-Width: 0.5
Scale-Height: 0.5
Rotation Angle: 0 degrees
X-Coordinate: 0.0
Y-Coordinate: 0.5
We then iterate this pattern 10 times to see the outcome
Now try to make a few of your own. Try to replicate the below example. If you want to learn more about fractals, then please visit Michael Frame's website. He was the amazing person who introduced me to fractals. If you want an even more in depth look into fractals, then check out his book (co-written by Amelia Urry) "Fractal Worlds"


Project: Autonomous Creatures Part 2
Ok, today I integrated neural networks into the whole thing. So now the “creature” can move according to input.
The directions it can move in were done with vectors. And since a square grid doesn’t allow it to move diangonally in the same distance it can move vertically/horizontally, a work-around had to be found.
Using some basic trigonometry, we’ll use a rough estimate of (0.7, 0.7) as the vector for diagonal movement.
I’ve also added an enemy circle (cos everyone knows circles are completely and utterly evil…), but I’m still unsure how to input it into the neural net.

List of arbitrary text tags. Tags may be any valid string; default is the
empty list.
Tags can be used on any rule. Tags on test and
test_suite
rules are useful for categorizing the tests. Tags
on non-test rules are used to control sandboxed execution of
genrule
s and [Skylark](/docs/skylark/index.html) actions, and for
parsing by humans and/or external tools.
Bazel modifies the behavior of its sandboxing code if it finds the following
keywords in the tags
attribute of any test rule or
genrule
, or the keys of execution_requirements
for
any Skylark action.
local
keyword results in the action or test never being
run inside the [sandbox](/docs/bazel-user-manual.html#sandboxing).
Tags on tests are generally used to annotate a test's role in your debug and release process. Typically, tags are most useful for C++ and Python tests, which lack any runtime annotation ability. The use of tags and size elements gives flexibility in assembling suites of tests based around codebase check-in policy.
Bazel modifies test running behavior if it finds the following keywords in the
tags
attribute of the test rule:
exclusive
keyword will force test to be run in the
"exclusive" mode, ensuring that no other tests are running at the
same time. Such tests will be executed in serial fashion after all build
activity and non-exclusive tests have been completed.
manual
keyword will force test to be ignored by all command
line wildcards (...
, :*
, :all
, etc).
It will also be ignored by the test_suite
rules that do not
mention this test explicitly. The only way
to run such test is to specify it explicitly on the command line.
external
keyword will force test to be unconditionally
executed (regardless of --cache_test_results
value).
