MainAppDelegate
@UIApplicationMain
class MainAppDelegate : UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, BMLTiOSLibDelegate
The main application delegate class for the app.
-
This will contain our connected (or connectING) BMLTiOSLib instance. It will be nil if there is no connection.
Declaration
Swift
private static var _libraryObject: BMLTiOSLib!
-
This is a quick way to get this object instance (it’s a SINGLETON), cast as the correct class.

Swift
static var appDelegateObject: MainAppDelegate! { get }
-
This will return nil, unless we have a completed connecteion, in which case it will return the valid connected library.
Declaration
Swift
static var connectionObject: BMLTiOSLib! { get }
-
This will initiate a new connection if set to true. If set to false, it will terminate the session. Setting this value will always terminate any current sessions.
If this value is true, it does not necessarily mean that we have a valid session; only that we have an object.
You should check the instance value validConnection for that.

To understand how photons behave, we need to take a pause and talk about probability.
Imagine the following situation: You are blindfolded and throwing darts at a dartboard as shown in the image below. You roughly know where the dartboard is and most of your shots are near the center. After a 100 shots, you get this pattern (see fig):
Because 45 out of 100 throws ended up in region A, we could say that the chance of hitting region A is 45%. In general we can say that the probability of hitting region A is just the number of hits in A divided by the total.
This probability is more and more accurate as the total number of throws gets really large. Similarly, we can define the probability of throwing in region B and C (
Let's say you want to know the probability that the dart was in region A OR region B. What do you do?
Since it does not matter which one, you just count all throws that landed in A or B.
So, the probability of hitting A or B is the sum of the probability of hitting A and probability of hitting B. So in our example this would be 35% + 45% = 80%.
Note that the chance of hitting anything at all (A OR B OR C) should be 1 or 100%.
As we will see, quantum mechanics is special when it comes to adding probability because of interference which happens.
Note: A probability must be a pure number (no units) between 0 (impossible) and 1 (certain). Often the number is represented as a percentage or as a fraction. For example a probability of p = 0.25 can be represented as 25% ,25/100 or as 1/4. One chance out of 4 is a probability p=0.25.

Imports that need validating:
Login to validate imports
Your settings


Carry around your data
See a project example in action at satchel_examples
The driving factor behind satchel is helping to solve two issues that become more and more painful as projects get larger:
a project should be split into multiple files to keep knit times manageable and a semblance of organization. This fits nicely with bookdown as a mechanism for organizing Rmd’s.
Reproducible research should strive to keep code embedded in reports
satchel
mitigate these pain points?First, it allows an easy mechanism for transferring data or objects between Rmd files so that there is only a single source of ‘truth’ for any piece of code (minimize copy and pasting code between files). For example, given raw data that needs consistent modifications before use in multiple files, the modifications should occur once, and the intermediate object be shared to the other files. This allows a single source of the change, so any future modifications will be properly propogated to all other instances.
Second, an ‘elephant in the room’ of literate programming, is the the progression of a project does not proceed in a straight line, instead more like:
The total progression should be tracked in the lab-notebook
to document false leads etc. When trying to create a final report though, only specific components will be retained. Satchel allows the necessary data/objects/etc to be easily saved from the lab-notebook Rmd files into a location that is suitable to be pulled into a separate final-report. This further allows the lab-notebook format to be separated from the final reports (eg Rmd files in lab-notebook, and Rnw files for final report for more control over layout, references, etc.)
Satchel’s must be initialized by calling Satchel$new(...)
For example:
library(satchel)
satchel <- Satchel$new("<namespace>", "<path/to/satchel/tree>")
The resulting object can have any name, though the convention is to use satchel
if only creating one, and satchel_<additional_identifier>
if using multiple in a single file
other_name <- Satchel$new("<namespace>", "<path/to/satchel/tree>")
Multiple satchel nodes can be created in a single file
library(satchel)
satchel_data <- Satchel$new("<namespace>", "<path/to/satchel/tree>")
satchel_plots <- Satchel$new("<other-namespace>", "<path/to/satchel/tree>")
# completely different tree
report_satchel <- Satchel$new("<namespace>", "<finalreport_path/to/satchel/tree>")
This can be useful to save certain objects to pass around between documents in the lab-notebook, but separately save out key objects for report(s), presentation(s), etc
satchel$save(<obj>)
satchel$save(<obj>, data_name = "<other name>")
satchel$save(Theoph) # will be saved as Theoph
satchel$save(Theoph, "pk_theoph") # will be saved as pk_theoph
The data_name
is key for use in pipelines, which do not retain the object names being passed
# these will break as the name cannot be deparsed
satchel$save(Theoph %>% mutate(REP = 1)) # would try to save with the literal name `Theoph %>% mutate(REP = 1)
Theoph %>% mutate(REP = 1) %>% satchel$save() # would save with the name `.`
# Instead, specify a name
Theoph %>% mutate(REP = 1) %>% satchel$save("Theoph")
At the end of an Rmarkdown file, you can get the information for all saved object during the session
satchel$report()
Objects saved from other files can be accessed with satchel$use(<object_name>, <namespace>)
Given an data frame called safety_data saved in the safety namespace specified in another file, saved by:
satchel <- Satchel$new("safety", "satchel")
...
satchel$save(safety_data)
In the new file, the safety_data could be acquired via:
satchel <- Satchel$new("analysis", "satchel")
...
safety_data <- satchel$use("safety_data")
Satchel is smart enough to scan all the namespaces for an object called safety_data and pull it in. However, if there are multiple safety_data objects saved, an error will occur, and the namespace must be explicitly set.
For example, in a third file, given:
satchel <- Satchel$new("other_safety", "satchel")
...
satchel$save(safety_data)
As safety_data
is present in both safety
and other_safety
namespaces, to use it you must specify which namespace you want to refer to:
safety_data <- satchel$use("safety_data", "safety")
To see what is available across the entire tree, use satchel$available()
For ongoing analyses, sometimes it is convenient to get a look at the data you are interested in, without loading the entire object, especially when dealing with larger datasets.
Satchel
automatically keeps a head()
of certain objects (dataframes, matrices, vectors) so that they can be previewed, rather than pulling in the entire object.
satchel$preview("safety_data")
As this does not need to pull in the entire file, access will be fast and light on memory.
when ‘using’ an object, the default behavior is to re-scan the satchel tree to make sure the object is available and current. This is especially important if using multiple satchel’s concurrently, when new objects are generated after another is initialized, it may not be aware of those updates. This continual scanning may not be ideal if the desire is to load a number of objects on after another (for example, pulling in a bunch to a list). To manually control the behavior, you can turn off refreshing via satchel$auto_refresh(FALSE)
The overall, optimized flow might be something like:
satchel$auto_refresh(FALSE)
satchel$available() # manually query the tree to update it
satchel$use(...)
satchel$use(...)
satchel$use(...)
satchel$use(...)
satchel$auto_refresh(TRUE) # turn auto-refresh back on
Keep in mind, this is almost guaranteed to be a unneeded optimization, as scanning the file tree takes microseconds in most cases. However for certain very large projects, or projects with thousands of very small objects saved out, it could play a role.
HINT: if you find yourself saving many small, related objects, it may be better to collapse the objects into a list then just save the single list object.

About Tutorial Versions¶
The tutorials listed in this manual can be obtained from GitHub, by cloning the geomesa-tutorials project:
$ git clone https://github.com/geomesa/geomesa-tutorials.git
$ cd geomesa-tutorials
Keep in mind that you may have to download a particular release of
the tutorials project to match the GeoMesa version that
you are using. For example, to target GeoMesa 1.3.2, you should download
version <IP_ADDRESS>-m2 of the geomesa-tutorials project
($TUTORIAL_VERSION
= <IP_ADDRESS>-m2):
$ git checkout geomesa-tutorials-$TUTORIAL_VERSION
In general, the major, minor, and patch version numbers of the tutorials release will match the corresponding numbers of the GeoMesa version. The tutorials version contains a fourth digit number permitting multiple releases per GeoMesa release.
You may also see the geomesa-tutorials releases available, and download a tarball of a release on the geomesa-tutorials releases page.
Hadoop Version¶
Most of the tutorials encourage you to update the pom.xml
to match the versions of the services you are using (Hadoop,
ZooKeeper, Accumulo, etc.) However, there may be issues when
incrementing the Hadoop version to 2.6 or above, which can result
in Apache Curator version conflicts. Leaving the
Hadoop version set to 2.2 in the tutorials pom.xml
will work
with all subsequent Hadoop 2.X releases.


It is easy to laugh at the English judiciary, with all those bewigged judges who seemingly know nothing of the wider world outside their chambers. But they know how to turn a phrase, those judges. With Nicholas Van Hoogstraten back in the news, it is worth recalling that many years ago he was described in court as “a self-styled emissary of Beelzebub”. I wouldn't be surprised if he's used that phrase ever since when filling in his “Occupation” on documents.

Guidance
Instructions for local authority monitoring visitors, including the monitoring visits form.
Local authorities ( LAs ) have a statutory responsibility to monitor the administration of the phonics screening check. This helps to ensure that the security and confidentiality of the check materials are maintained and that the assessments are administered correctly and consistently.
To carry out a visit correctly, you need to be familiar with this guidance as well as the check administration guidance for schools.
Your monitoring visits co-ordinator will give you specific information before each visit. Make sure you take:
You must also take photo identification with you to present on arrival at a school. This can be a passport, driving license or official work pass.
Depending on when your visit takes place you will need to observe certain aspects of phonics screening check administration to make sure the school is following our published guidance correctly. Use the monitoring visits form to record what you see. At the end of the visit you will need to meet with the headteacher, or delegated member of staff, to discuss your findings.
These monitoring visits take place during the week commencing 6 June. You should use these visits to make sure that the phonics screening check materials are unopened and stored securely, and that the school has received the correct number of packs. You can also discuss other elements of the proposed administration, such as the room(s) where the check will take place.
Your monitoring visits co-ordinator will give you details of the number of phonics screening check packs delivered to the school. Ask the headteacher for annotated copies of their delivery note(s) and details of the number of check packs that were actually delivered.
Ensure that all of the phonics screening check materials are sealed and stored securely.
If a school has received damaged check packs, advise them, if they have not already done so, to contact immediately the national curriculum assessments helpline . The school may be asked to send us a photograph of the damaged packages.
If you are carrying out a monitoring visit during the week commencing 6 June, the phonics screening check materials should not have been opened. If teachers need to make adjustments to the check so that pupils can access it, these should be made during the check period, from Monday 13 June. There are no exceptions.
You should speak to the headteacher, or the teacher responsible for the administration of the phonics screening check, to ensure that an appropriate teacher will be administering it and that they fully understand the administration arrangements, including scoring.
The phonics screening check must be administered on a one-to-one basis by a teacher who is known to the pupil. It must not be administered by a teaching assistant, including higher level teaching assistants, because the role requires a teacher’s professional judgement about which responses are correct. The teacher must not be a relative or carer of the pupil taking the check.
These visits take place during the phonics screening check week, Monday 13 June to Friday 17 June. You should read your copy of the 2016 check materials before the visit so that you are familiar with the words pupils will be asked to decode. This will help you to judge whether any pupils are given inappropriate assistance. Any printed versions of these materials must be kept secure until Friday 24 June.
You should arrive at the school in time to observe the complete phonics screening check administration process. This means:
You should also establish that:
You should carry out the checks relating to visits before or after the check period, if phonics screening checks have taken place for some pupils or are yet to be administered.
You should aim to observe between 2 and 5 checks (depending on the size of the cohort).
Confirm with the headteacher, or teacher responsible for the administration of the phonics screening check, whether any pupils will be uncomfortable being observed. It is important that pupils are not put off by the presence of a visitor. If a pupil is likely to be distracted, you should observe another pupil instead.
You should also agree with the headteacher and / or the teacher administering the phonics screening check whether your presence should be explained to the pupil you are going to observe.
You should only enter the room before a pupil starts the phonics screening check. This is so that your monitoring activity doesn’t disturb the pupil or interrupt administration of the check. The teacher can also explain your presence to the pupil, if appropriate.
When you observe the phonics screening check ensure that:
You are not expected to score any phonics screening checks in parallel with the teacher administering the check. You might consider discussing the scoring decisions with the teacher, but you should not overrule the teacher’s judgement on a pupil’s responses to the check.
If you observe what you consider to be misconceptions of phonics and / or the scoring of the check, you should discuss this with the teacher after the check has been administered. (For example, a visitor may think that the teacher has not realised that an alternative pronunciation of a grapheme should be scored correctly.) You would not need to report this to us.
After the check has been completed, discuss the administration of the check with the teacher.
Schools must store the phonics screening check materials and ‘answer sheets’ securely until Friday 24 June. You should carry out the checks related to visits after the check week.
Discuss the arrangements in place for collation of the pupils’ scores into the data return sheets, and how this data will be provided to your LA . Where schools have already completed this task, you should make sure that the data return sheet has been completed correctly.
You should carry out the checks relating to visits after the check period if you arrive after the phonics screening checks have taken place.
These visits take place immediately after the phonics screening check week, from Monday 20 June. You should use these visits to discuss the administration of the check, ensure the materials are stored securely and confirm arrangements for submission of data.
Schools can administer the phonics screening check until Friday 24 June if any pupils were absent during the check week. Pupils must only attempt the check once during the check period. You should carry out the checks relating to visits during the check week if you observe a pupil.
You should look at where the ‘answer sheets’ and other materials are stored and check that they are secure. You should discuss the arrangements in place at the school for collation of the data and how it will be provided to your LA . If data has already been provided to your LA , you should make sure that the data return sheet has been completed correctly.
You must complete all sections on the 2016 KS1 phonics screening check monitoring visit form ( PDF , 120KB , 2 pages ) for each school you visit. You must answer all the questions in both sections.
Make sure you include your monitoring visits co-ordinator’s name in case we have any enquiries about the visit.
If you enter an ‘X’ or ‘N’ on the form, or if you notice any other irregularity during the visit, you must record details of the issue and any actions taken on the form. This will help us to identify instances where further investigation is needed by your LA and / or STA .
Before you leave the school you should meet with the headteacher, or delegated member of staff, to discuss your findings from the visit. If you have placed an ‘X’ or ‘N’ in any box on the monitoring visit form, you should advise whether the school should make changes to its check administration procedures for any remaining checks. If you didn’t find anything that concerned you, make this clear.
You and the headteacher, or delegated member of staff, should sign the monitoring visit form. This is to confirm the visit took place and that you have given any feedback about the administration of the phonics screening check to the school.
You should leave a copy of the monitoring visit form, and any delivery notes you have annotated, with the headteacher or delegated member of staff. You must not add any additional detail or make changes to the monitoring visit form after this point.
You should discuss any findings from your visit with your monitoring visits co-ordinator as soon as possible after you have carried out your visit.
If you have placed an ‘X’ or ‘N’ in any box on the monitoring visit form, you should discuss the issue with your monitoring visits co-ordinator immediately.
If you didn’t identify any irregularities during your visit, you must send the completed monitoring visit form to your monitoring visits co-ordinator immediately after the visit. The deadline for returning completed monitoring visit forms to your co-ordinator is Friday 24 June.
If you have questions about carrying out monitoring visits you should speak to your monitoring visits co-ordinator. If they are unable to help, you can contact the national curriculum assessments helpline.

COUSINS A film review by Randy Parker Copyright 1996 Randy Parker
RATING: ***1/2 (out of ****)
(Review written in 1989)
The dramatic comedy COUSINS has all the necessary ingredients: a witty and whimsical script, inspired performances, a great sense of humor, a large and wonderful cast, and the beautiful scenery of Vancouver. It's a movie of weddings, marriage, family, infidelity, and--oh yes--love.
Like 3 MEN AND A BABY, COUSINS is an Americanized version of a French film: 1975's COUSIN, COUSINE. The plot is complicated, but it goes something like this. Larry and Tom are cousins, each of whom is not-so-happily-married. Tom starts an affair with Larry's wife, Tish, and to get even, Larry and Tom's wife, Maria, pretend to have an affair of their own. Soon the pretending turns to love and COUSINS is off and running.
COUSINS is populated by a wide assortment of interesting characters and caricatures. The acting is first rate down to even the smallest supporting role, and virtually every performance deserves mention. Ted Danson (in his first starring film role) finally gets to play a character with some depth and sensitivity. While Larry may be confident and charming like Sam Malone on "Cheers," he is also complex and vulnerable, with more between his ears than empty space. As Maria, Isabella Rossellini is a joy to watch; she is shy, sensuous, and immensely alluring. Sean Young is perfectly cast as Larry's picture perfect wife, Tish, a superficial and trendy make-up consultant. Keith Coogan, from ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING, is wonderfully weird and eccentric as Larry's rebellious son, Mitch. And finally, Lloyd Bridges in a tour de force performance is Mitch's rambunctious grandfather; he provides some of COUSINS' best lines and laughs.
Like MOONSTRUCK, COUSINS is a mix of drama and comedy. The film is larger than life and has a keen sense of the absurd. It understands human nature extremely well and milks it for every possible laugh and heart-tug. How often do you see a movie where you believe that two characters truly and sincerely care for and love each other, as friends and as lovers? Well, to its credit, COUSINS is just such a movie. Let's hope the French continue to provide us with the inspiration to make films like COUSINS

  Whether you know it or not, you will soon settle a dispute between two ancient beings way beyond your comprehension.
Each player has 9 pieces, mostly based on traditional chess pieces. When a piece is defeated, it goes to the other dimension, which can hold up to three pieces. These pieces can be freed by placing a piece on the other player's key.
In order to win, each player has to either defeat every single one of their opponent's pieces, or place all of their pieces on the place where their opponent's pieces first appeared.
Do you want to play Eldritchess as a physical game with your friends? If you have a 3d printer or know someone who does, you're in luck!
You can now download all of the game's pieces as stl files, ready for 3d printing. Please be aware that some of these pieces are very complex and may need advanced settings in order to be printed correctly.

User Administration
ZEPRS groups
The groups currently in-use are Superusers(group id 1), Clinic
Medical Staff (group id 5), Clinic/UTH Admins (group id 19), LUDHMB Staff
ID/Login Admistrator (group id 9), , and Clerks (group id 18). Most users
should be assigned to the Clinic Medical Staff group.
Description of ZEPRS groups:
- Superusers – full priv, including use of the Dynasite admin app. This group may not be assigned by the User Administration app.
- Clinic Medical Staff – able to create/modify patient
records, but not view reports
- Clinic/UTH Admins - able to create/modify patient records
and view reports
- LUDHMB Staff ID/Login Admistrator – access only to the
User Administration app.
- Clerks – able to search for patient, view and modify
patient demographics.
- View Patient Records only (group id 16) is only used to
demonstrate a highly restricted group.
UTH and CIDRZ Medical staff are not active groups. Since
most clinicians rotate from clinics to UTH, it may make sense simply to assign
everyone to Clinic Medical Staff. If someone needs to view reports as well as
create/modify patient records, assign them to Clinic/UTH Admins.

This week the exercise was about documenting the progress of the project, difficulties encountered, a possible trouble and solution.
The fabric (5 x 3 m) ,ith which I made my project, was sewn in a Local Matress Factory with a multineedle machine. I lasered on model paper the 2d draws of the components and the Polyester bands to sew. So The Blaze is almost sewn totally. I have to design and print in 3D the case for boards and battery.
I designed and soldered the shield for the Flex Sensor to be connected to the Fabkit and I made a battery 5V for the circuit alimentation. I took a bluetooth device that I have connected to the fabkit. I still have to connect the sensors to the shield but before I want to test they and the programming with Arduino Uno.
I started to write both IDE and Processing codes. I have 4 Flex Sensors, two for elbows and two for shoulders, so of each one of them I made a balance choising a minum and maximum value and then I divided the range in 10 positions. I want to do some testing and then I'll connect the whole circuit to make it work.
The first main problem was the fabric. The Blaze should be made in Neoprene but the online store on which I made the order has been slow with the time. The fabric would come too late and locally was very difficult to find in few times. So without much panic, I started to turn fabric shops in Frosinone searching a product suitable to my project but without success! Suddenly I found a solution. I spoke with a friend who has a mattress factory and I asked him if was possible made a fabric for my needs. The outcome was really positive! I obtained for free the seam of a three-layer fabric with size 3x5 m.
Then I had a second problem with my Fabkit, suddenly it stopped working. I tried to retrieve it but I had to mill and solder a new board! For last I have some problems with the bluetooth device. it is recognized from the pc but I can not read data in the sketch of input!
The first setting of Flex Sensor is good and the output sketch works, so I have obtained some sounds!
I have to rivisit some aspects of my project. The circuit can not be designed together with the project despite being removable. So for this first prototype I decided to go on to finish the work in all parts and for the moment the circuit will be placed in the inner part of the blaze with slots!
I have to understand how bluetooth isn't recognized in the Ide and then I should study how I can work about sound to elaborate it.
For next last days I will work mainly on input and output codes to programm my circuit. I want complete my project in every aspect to have an overview of it. For the end of the Fab Academy my project will be simply a prototype from which continue to work to reach my target.
After 5 month of Fab Academy I can say I learned a lot of things about design, mechanical, electronics and programming. Some aspects are a deepening of my background as an Architect, instead others are a new knowledge in my personal luggage. I lived this walk with enthusiasm and a lot of will to be able to do something with my own ability. I dealt things more complex than other but with determination I wanted achieve all my goals, from assignements to final project, avoid leaving something incomplete.
More documentation about the project is in my Final Project Page
During the Fab Academy were few assignment which I could use to advantage of my final project. The electonics about input, output and interface was very useful for me to approach and learn several aspects to made my project, but honestly the work of realization of it focused in the last three weeks in parallel with the Mechanical assignment! By calendar I had expected to finish 2/3 days before our presentation but having had some unforeseen and obstacles I think I will use all the time available.
First prototype of E_Motion is a blaze of three layers fabric, outers in a NON WOVEN fabric and the inner in Hypoallergenic Polyester. Inside there is the electronics case (sewn with buttons to the blaze ) which contains the circuit that consist of a Fabkit, a Bluetooth device, a Sensor shield and a battery. The Sensor are placed along the sleeves of the blaze with slots.
The output starts with a click on a processing interface and moving the arms it's possible generate different sound.
FINAL PRESENTATION SLIDE


Introduction
In this chapter we introduce linear algebra, which is an essential tool for portfolio optimization.
Vectors
A vector can be thought of as an arrow pointing from the origin to a specific point. Any vector or point can be represented by its coordinates i.e. an array of numbers, such as \((x,y)\) for a 2-dimensional vector, or \((x,y,z)\) for a 3-dimensional one. We usually write a vector as a column:
\[ v = \begin{pmatrix}
x \\ y \\ z
\end{pmatrix} \]
Matrices
If we have a few vectors \((v_1, v_2, \dots, v_n)\) with the same dimension, then we can put them side-by-side to form a matrix. For example, the vectors
\[ v_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix} \qquad
v_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 2 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} \qquad
v_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ 1 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \]
can be combined to produce a matrix:
\[ m = \begin{pmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
2 & 2 & 2 \\
3 & 1 & 1
\end{pmatrix} \]
m is a 3 × 3 matrix. We typically describe the dimensions of a matrix as \(m \times n\) where m = number of rows and n = number of columns.
Python Implementation
In Python, the NumPy package deals with linear algebra. The array we learned in the NumPy chapter can be deemed as a vector:
import numpy as np
a = np.array([1,2,3])
b = np.array([2,2,2])
c = np.array([3,1,1])
matrix = np.column_stack((a,b,c))
print matrix
print type(matrix)
It is worth noticing that we used column_stack() here to ensure that the vectors are vertical and placed side-by-side to form a matrix. Without the column_stack() function, the vectors will be made horizontal and stacked on top of one another:
matrix2 = np.array([a,b,c])
print matrix2
Matrix Multiplication
\(X_{ij}\) refers to a specific value in row \(i\) and column \(j\) of a matrix \(X\). For example, \(X_{23}\) is the number in the second row and third column of \(X\).
If A is an \(m \times n\) matrix and B is an \(p \times q\) matrix, and \(n=p\), we can multiply A with B, which is written as \(AB\). Please note that \(AB \neq BA\) in general i.e. matrix multiplication is not commutative. If \(q \neq m\), we cannot multiply B with A to get \(BA\) to begin with.
Consider this matrix product:
\[ AB = \begin{pmatrix}
a_{11}&a_{12} \\
a_{21}&a_{22}\\a_{31}&a_{32}
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
b_{11}&b_{12} \\
b_{21}&b_{22}
\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}
x_{11}&x_{12} \\
x_{21}&x_{22} \\
x_{31}&x_{32}
\end{pmatrix} \]
Then
\[ x_{11} = a_{11} b_{11} + a_{12} b_{12} \]
\[ x_{12} = a_{11} b_{12} + a_{12} b_{22} \]
\[ x_{21} = a_{21} b_{11} + a_{21} b_{21} \]
\[ x_{22} = a_{21} b_{12} + a_{22} b_{22} \]
\[ \dots \]
In other words, \(x_{ij}\) is the scalar product of row \(i\) from matrix \(A\) with column \(j\) from matrix \(B\).
The calculation is tedious, but fortunately we can use NumPy to do it:
A = np.array([[2,3],[4,2],[2,2]])
B = np.array([[4,2],[4,6]])
x = np.dot(A,B)
print x
Using np.dot(), we can conduct matrix multiplication. A and B must be in the right order; if you reverse the order you will get an error:
x = np.dot(B,A)
It's useful to remember that \(m \times n \times n \times p = m \times p\). This means an \(m \times n\) matrix multiplied with an \(n \times p\) matrix yields an \(m \times p \) matrix.
Inverse
In linear algebra, there are a group of special matrix that have \(n\times n\) dimension and with ones on the main diagonal and zeros elsewhere. This type of matrix is called identity matrix. We usually present it with \(I_n\), where \(n\) is the dimension.
\[I_n= \begin{pmatrix}
1&0&0&...&0 \\
0&1&0&...&0\\
0&0&1&...&0\\
...&...&...&...&...\\
0&0&0&...&1
\end{pmatrix}\]
If A is a \(m\times n\) matrix, the property of a identity matrix is:
\[I_mA = AI_n = A\]
We encourage you to try this equation by yourself so that you will have a deeper understanding about identity matrix and matrix multiplication.
We use identity matrix to define invertible matrix. An \(n \times n\) matrix A is called invertible if there exists an \(n \times n\) matrix B such that:
\[AB = BA = I_n\]
Then B is uniquely determined by A and is called the inverse of A, denoted by \(A^{-1}\).
We would not introduce the method to solve inverse matrix here. If you are interested in it, please refer to Gauss-Jordan method.
In Python, we also use python to solve inverse matrix.
print matrix
print '\n-------------seperation line------------\n'
print np.linalg.inv(matrix)
Using np.linalg.inv(), we found the inverse matrix of our variable 'matrix'. Now let's check if the multiplication is \(I\):
inverse = np.linalg.inv(matrix)
print np.dot(matrix,inverse)
print '\n-------------seperation line------------\n'
print np.dot(inverse,matrix)
Not surprisingly, we ended up with an identity matrix.
If a square matrix is not invertible, it's called singular matrix.
For example, let's synthesize a singular matrix:
singular = np.array([[1,2,3],[1,2,3],[3,3,3]])
inv = np.linalg.inv(singular)
We got an error message: Singular matrix.
Linear Functions
One of the most common usage of linear algebra is to solve linear equations. Consider the following linear equations:
\[2x + y - z = 8\]
\[-3x -y +2z = -11\]
\[-2x+y+2z = -3\]
If we let:
\[A= \begin{pmatrix}
2&1&-1 \\
-3&-1&2\\
-2&1&2
\end{pmatrix}\]
and
\[X= \begin{pmatrix}
x \\
y\\
z
\end{pmatrix}\]
and
\[B= \begin{pmatrix}
8 \\
-11\\
-3
\end{pmatrix}
\]
The above linear equations can be written as
\[A X = B\]
We strongly encourage you to do the multiplication to reproduce the linear equations so that you can have a better understanding.
If A is invertible, we can multiply \(a^{-1}\) on both side of the equation:
\[A^{-1}AX = A^{-1}B\]
Then
\[X = A^{-1}B\]
This means as long as we can find \(A^{-1}\), we can solve the linear functions!
Let's try it in python:
A = np.array([[2,1,-1],[-3,-1,2],[-2,1,2]])
B = np.array([[8],[-11],[-3]])
inv_A = np.linalg.inv(A)
print np.dot(inv_A,B)
\(x = 2, y = 3, z = -1\) is the solution of the linear functions
More conveniently, we can directly use NumPy function to solve it:
print np.linalg.solve(A,B)
We got exactly the same result.
We can check the correctness of the solution by substituting x, y, and z in the original linear equations.
Summary
In this chapter we briefly introduced vector, matrix, inverse matrix and solving linear equations, which is commonly used to calculate portfolio variance. It's also used to detect arbitrage opportunities by solving linear equations. Next chapter we would introduce modern portfolio theory and CAPM, which is the foundation if modern finance.

Hi, my name is Dylan Hernandez, I am a certified Full Stack Web Developer from the University of Kansas. I started coding a couple months before my Full-Stack Development Course. From the start I really liked the challenges and the over all support from the dev community. Outside of coding, I currently reside in the Kansas City Metropolitan area with my girlfriend Meredith and our dog, Luella.
As of right now, I prefer and have more experience in front-end development, but I do have some experience in back-end development. I like learning both front-end and back-end development. It's always rewarding to learn a new coding technique or skill and watch your projects progress in their difficulty.
I try to dedicate my free time to learn new coding techniques from online resources, my peers, and other professionals in the industry. I also like practicing by taking on small coding projects. I am always open to new ones, so feel free to contact me with any.

Values and visions
for the 21st century
|
One Planet Earth We all inhabit this same Earth and are mutually dependent on each other and on nature. We wish equality for all people to have a worthy existence with a high quality of life and an abundant nature. Globally, technology is tying man and nature ever more closely together into a complex fabric. Therefore it is in everyones best interest that all parts of our community are allowed to thrive. A sustainable lifestyle implies that we shoulder the responsibility for all cycles and interactions that we form part of both environmentally and socially. Man, our communities and nature must be made the centrepiece of social development. We desire a development
Todays world is fraught with inequality, and fulfilling the basic needs of the worlds poor is of paramount importance. As one of the wealthiest countries worldwide, Denmark should take the lead in showing solidarity with those stricken with poverty and disaster. Conventional forms of economic aid have proved inadequate. New ways of providing help for self-help need to be developed, with particular focus on promoting fair conditions in trade. These would require us, in countries with large-scale consumption, to reduce our own use of natural resources to a globally sustainable level in order to allow for others to increase their welfare and utilisation of the earths natural resources. The global ecosystems are vulnerable and irreplaceable. The extermination of species is merely the top of an iceberg comprising far-reaching deterioration of the living conditions of wild- and plant life in most regions on earth. Denmark is one of the countries in which the process is the most advanced. Most of the country has been built upon, or is being cultivated as fields or plantations. Just a few percent of the total area still holds undisturbed habitats with primordial plant- and wildlife. Nature is an asset in its own right, and experiencing nature and its use is of prime importance if the present and future generations are to comprehend the necessity of sustainable development. Hence, a concerted effort is particularly needed in this country, in order to protect plant- and wildlife and to draw on natural resources with greater care and respect. The good life Development of a sustainable society must rely on insights into its inherent necessity, allied with visions for "the good life". For a while money has been made the measure of all things, and an end in itself. Yet, to the vast majority of Danes material needs are no longer the most urgent necessity. In more than one way the process that first created our affluence has now reached a stage where more of the same will do more harm than good. In many ways what we wish for now runs counter to demands for increased productivity, an intensified pace and increasing risks in a society competing to maximise economic growth. Now is the time to give higher priority to other values, and to draw upon our social reserve in order to achieve such goals. In the 21st century we need to develop social structures that will
These demands embody an understanding of "the good life", in which wealth and development are not measured by money and material consumption only. Our technology and democratic legacy hold a host of growth and development potentials within the immaterial realm: In knowledge, arts, quality, caring, education, health, experience, communication, and community spirit. Yet, in order to qualify our choices, we must learn to take a long view both in political, commercial and personal terms in which purely pecuniary considerations are not the decisive factors. The local environment is the starting point Sustainable development is a social transformation process in which new goals and values must be developed as we go. There is no such thing as one sustainable society or one way of sustainable living. However a sustainable community is per se a cyclical one, based on renewable sources of energy. Therefore any sustainable lifestyle is necessarily deeply rooted in wherever you live. Globalisation has changed the extreme into the ordinary. It is cheaper and easier to buy imported foodstuffs and petrol from remote oil wells than subsisting on local foodstuffs and utilising renewable energy. The global interchange of knowledge and culture has become requisite to our wealth and quality of life; yet, when it comes to material resources, a sustainable society will have to focus much more narrowly on nearby and local sources. The norm should be for food, energy supply and raw materials supply for production to reflect local conditions and resources. In a sustainable society negotiating everyday activities and needs with a minimum of transport is not only feasible it is also the easiest and cheapest way. In practical terms this would also imply that it should be easier to live and work in the rural districts, and in a similar way "more ecology into the cities", e.g. in the form of decentralized energy supply, public parks, gardens and hen pens. Stronger local roots will produce a wealth of variety, instead of global uniformity. Moreover proximity will make our environmental and social context far more visible. Enhance the conditions of the local community Today the tasks within the social service sector, plus care of children, the elderly and the disabled are mainly overseen by the public sector. This has turned many social relations into professionalized ones that exist only because one party is paid a salary. Concurrently many private social networks have gradually deteriorated, which has contributed to a marginalization of population segments. Every human being needs to be part of a community. Children especially need to experience a community with several grown-ups and a variety of activities. An upgrading of our welfare society should imply that we strengthen private, social relations and local communities, where everyone is needed. Strengthening the social and cultural fabric is important, not least if the aspiration is for our culture to develop in order to incorporate the ecological dimension. New life to democracy Technology development, cross-border environmental problems and global exchange of commodities and services all imply new interdependences and new solutions. A stronger local mooring requires decision power to local administrations and citizens and holds obvious promise of revitalising participatory democracy. The national level will set out the framework for local management, considering the overall cohesion via solutions across the traditional borders of sectors and jurisdictions. If the civilian population and the business sectors are to be mobilised in favour of sustainable solutions and experimenting with new patterns of behaviour, the prerequisites are new forms of democratic dialogue and co-operation, between authorities, citizens, experts and companies. On the supranational level a political globalisation must be activated, in order to protect local communities and shared resources, and to counteract the adverse effects of commercial globalisation. There is a great need for reciprocal international co-operation, to take place in a wide range of civilian, legal, political and democratic bodies on international level. Therefore experiments in new forms of government and new decision fora must be carried out on all levels. A new economic law of gravitation In the economic context nature forms the basis of all production, including the capital generated by man. Our goal should be to preserve the potentials of a sustainable utilisation of our natural basis, thus enabling the fulfilment of future needs, yet to be defined. Therefore, in a sustainable society the economic system must clearly reflect the framework that our natural basis and common values chart for our production and consumption. In it, the economic rationale rewards consideration for the environment. The individual will not just exploit resources ruthlessly, without at least paying a surcharge for over-consumption or degradation of the natural basis. The sustainable solution should be the obvious choice, because it is easy, good, and cost-efficient. Also investment in sustainable production that does not burden society with additional expenditure should be made attractive. Sadly the opposite is often true today, since there is more profit to be gained on destruction, selfishness and shortsightedness. This shows that sustainable development will require the market mechanisms to be adjusted so they act upon the volume and character of production, consumption, and investment. Yet there are domains where the market mechanism is incapable of making production and consumption take a sustainable turn, and where political decisions are called for. Technology needs to underpin humanity Technology is capable of reinforcing mans appropriation of nature; yet technology can also offer the methods and tools needed for a good life, without transgressing the framework set by sustainability. The purpose of technology should be to support mankind, enabling us to experience and draw upon the essence of being human. Recent developments in biotech sciences and artificial intelligence have, in a fundamental way, challenged mans role and the meaning of being human. They have shown us that we cannot let technology evolve detached from the values and goals of our social development. To us genetic engineering and interference with the most fundamental life processes do not make sense if the sole purpose is to obtain a short-term competitive advantage in the market. It is of prime importance that we manage to redirect the technological development. Otherwise we risk being left as strangers in a world enslaved by mechanisms of our own making. One important perspective of our technological development has to be a more efficient utilisation of scarce natural resources. Basically a sustainable society should base its technologies on non-toxic, biodegradable and reusable materials and renewable energy sources. These are the goals we have to bear in mind when evaluating and specifying demands for new technology. Conversion to a sustainable society Today, at the start of the 21st century, societys structural and organisational layout, legislation, and economic system remain cut out to support an industrialism based on continued growth in resource consumption. This presents a number of barriers to a sustainable course of action. These barriers must be identified, and our systems be changed to address the realities and goals of a new era. We need to organise a society that favours sustainable production and makes it obvious and easy to go for a sustainable lifestyle, both in the urban and rural environment. A sustainable lifestyle can also be a positive choice: a choice made because it is attractive, challenging, gratifying, meaningful, beautiful, and pleasing. On the one hand such a conversion process is about activating development, innovative thinking and experimentation: new organisational structures, new decision fora, new forms of production, new technologies, and new lifestyles. On the other hand it is about exposing and phasing out legislative, economic, organisational and cultural structures that support non-sustainable production modes and ways of life, and impede sustainable solutions. Such a conversion will call for everyone in a society to be involved, and on all levels. An effort is needed from our government and parliament to promote, assist and prepare the way for local and private contributions. An effort is also needed to ensure the comprehensive view and the global perspective, and to further international co-operation on sustainability. We believe that most people do wish to contribute to a sustainable Planet Earth, joining forces with others, with active contributions from their parliament, government and authorities, and with true influence on the development. Against that background we submit the following recommendations for a national sustainable development strategy in Denmark.

- Param
- Behaviour to use. Accepted values are:
- ILU_NEAREST
- Uses a nearest filter to scale the image (looks worst).
- ILU_LINEAR
- Uses a linear interpolation filter to scale the image (looks better).
- ILU_BILINEAR
- Uses a bilinear (or trilinear for 3d images) interpolation filter to scale the image (looks best).
- ILU_SCALE_BOX
- Uses a box filter to scale the image.
- ILU_SCALE_TRIANGLE
- Uses a triangle filter to scale the image.
- ILU_SCALE_BELL
- Uses a bell filter to scale the image.
- ILU_SCALE_BSPLINE
- Uses a b-spline filter to scale the image.
- ILU_SCALE_LANCZOS3
- Uses a lanczos filter to scale the image.
- ILU_SCALE_MITCHELL
- Uses a mitchell filter to scale the image.
- ILU_LOWER_LEFT
- Places the image in the lower left of the enlarged canvas.
- ILU_LOWER_RIGHT
- Places the image in the lower right of the enlarged canvas.

4.7 Dictionary OperationsPython provides a variety of operations that can be applied to dictionaries. Since dictionaries are containers, the built-in len function can take a dictionary as its single argument and return the number of items (key/value pairs) in the dictionary object. 4.7.1 Dictionary MembershipIn Python 2.2 and later, the k in D operator tests to see whether object k is one of the keys of the dictionary D. It returns True if it is and False if it isn't. Similarly, the k not in D operator is just like not (k in D). 4.7.2 Indexing a DictionaryThe value in a dictionary D that is currently associated with key k is denoted by an indexing: D[k]. Indexing with a key that is not present in the dictionary raises an exception. For example: d = { 'x':42, 'y':3.14, 'z':7 } d['x'] # 42 d['z'] # 7 d['a'] # raises exception Plain assignment to a dictionary indexed with a key that is not yet in the dictionary (e.g., D[newkey]=value) is a valid operation that adds the key and value as a new item in the dictionary. For instance: d = { 'x':42, 'y':3.14, 'z':7 } d['a'] = 16 # d is now {'x':42,'y':3.14,'z':7,'a':16} The del statement, in the form del D[k], removes from the dictionary the item whose key is k. If k is not a key in dictionary D, del D[k] raises an exception. 4.7.3 Dictionary MethodsDictionary objects provide several methods, as shown in Table 4-4. Non-mutating methods return a result without altering the object to which they apply, while mutating methods may alter the object to which they apply. In Table 4-4, D and D1 indicate any dictionary object, k any valid key in D, and x any object. The items, keys, and values methods return their resulting lists in arbitrary order. If you call more than one of these methods without any intervening change to the dictionary, however, the order of the results is the same for all. The iteritems, iterkeys, and itervalues methods, which are new as of Python 2.2, return iterators equivalent to these lists (iterators are discussed later in this chapter). An iterator consumes less memory than a list, but you are not allowed to modify a dictionary while iterating on one of its iterators. Iterating on the list returned by items, keys, or values carries no such constraint. Iterating directly on a dictionary D is exactly like iterating on D.iterkeys( ). The popitem method can be used for destructive iteration on a dictionary. Both items and popitem return dictionary items as key/value pairs, but using popitem consumes less memory, as it does not rely on a separate list of items. The memory savings make the idiom usable for a loop on a huge dictionary, if it's okay to destroy the dictionary in the course of the loop. In Python 2.2 and later, iterating directly on the dictionary (or on iterkeys or iteritems) also consumes modest amounts of memory, and does not destroy the dictionary you're iterating on. The setdefault method returns the same result as get, but if k is not a key in D, setdefault also has the side effect of binding D[k] to the value x. |

--- layout: post title: How Political Science Is Helping OpenElections in Illinois date: 2016-04-17 12:00:23.000000000 -04:00 type: post parent_id: '0' published: true password: '' status: publish categories: - Data Updates tags: [] meta: _edit_last: '43578620' geo_public: '0' _publicize_job_id: '21873486298' author: login: openelections email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>display_name: openelections first_name: '' last_name: '' ---
Earlier this week, we sent out a tweet as sort of a fishing expedition: "Political scientists: if you've collected precinct-level election results in your work & are willing to share, get in touch!"
Mike Sances did. An assistant professor of political science at the University of Memphis, Sances let us know that as part of his dissertation research he had obtained precinct-level results files for many counties in Illinois. In some cases, the files went back more than a decade. Even better, he was willing to share them with us.
Thanks to Sances, and to the National Science Foundation, which funded his research, we've begun posting the files - many PDF documents but some HTML and text files - to our Github repository for Illinois sources.
We won't have every county, nor every election, but this generous contribution to the project is exactly the sort of thing we were hoping to see when we asked. While OpenElections will be processing results data for state and federal races, we're also posting these files to allow people to find local race results as well - and to avoid requesting the same materials that Sances did for his research. These are public documents; they should be available to the public.
And we're renewing our call to political scientists: if you have precinct-level election results, either in original format or that you've digitized, we'd love to hear from you about making them a part of OpenElections.
