*gosub allows you to create subroutines within a scene, allowing you to use a section of code multiple times. Another advantage of using *gosub is that it makes editing your code easier by making it so that if you need to edit a section of code that gets used often, you can simply edit the referenced code at the bottom of the scene file rather than editing the same code over and over again.
It's worth noting, however, that you don't strictly have to have the referenced code at the bottom of the scene file, as it can go anywhere within the current scene, but it is good practice to do so since it makes it easier to find again. To use *gosub you have to make sure you have a *label to go to, and a *return at the end of the referenced section, essentially telling ChoiceScript "Okay, you've had your fun playing around at the end of the scene, now return home or I swear I'll stop this game right here! Don't test me!"
*create health "70" *create strength "90" *label potions Having just battled the evil face sucker, a.k.a. "The ex-girlfriend", you take a potion to revitalize yourself *choice #Take a health potion *set health + 50 *gosub check_stats *goto potions #Take a strength potion *set strength + 50 *gosub check_stats *goto potions #I'm good *finish
And at the bottom of the scene file you would have something like this:
*label check_stats *if health > 100 *set health 100 *if strength > 100 *set strength 100 *returnLooking for a little more detail? Try the wiki page

The results for different scenes are shown below. It shows that depth-first search algorithm searched the entire column first, then took a step to the right column. The queue size was larger than other algorithms, so it's hard for dfs to find the to the goal. And the order for pushing unvisited neighbors to the queue matters, if push in a different direction, it may take longer time to find the path to same goal. Similarly, if the goal and the start are in the opposite direction, it is harder to find the path.(Fig.6 vs Fig.1, Fig7 vs Fig4)
The results for different scenes are shown below. It shows see that in every iteration, breadth-first search algorithm followed the edge of a square. It visited more nodes than depth-first search algorithm, but it produced a shorter path than the dps. It will return the same length path if we exchange the start and the end.(Fig.6 & Fig.7)
The results for different scenes are shown below. It shows see that since the greedy best-first search algorithm only used the distance between the current node and goal node, the algorithm searched more rapidly if there was no obstacle between the start and goal node. But if there were obstacles, it spent more time for searching and did not guarantee the optimal path (Fig2).
The results for different scenes are shown below. It shows that of A-star algorithm had a small queue size, and found optimal paths in all five planning scenes. But it took longer time and more iterations than greedy-best-first algorithm in some scenes without obstacles (Fig.1).
The results for different algorisms are shown below. It shows that of A-star and the breadth-first find the optimal path, greedy-best-first also find the optimal path, but in the previous simulation, greedy-best-first doesn't find the optimal path in "misc" scene, so its optimalty is not guaranteed. And depth-first algorism does't find the optimal path.

The variable *print-escape* controls whether the Lisp printer tries to produce notations such as escape characters and package prefixes.
The variable *print-readably* can be used to override many of the individual aspects controlled by the other printer control variables when program-readable output is especially important.
One of the many effects of making the value of *print-readably* be true is that the Lisp printer behaves as if *print-escape* were also true. For notational convenience, we say that if the value of either *print-readably* or *print-escape* is true, then printer escaping is "enabled"; and we say that if the values of both *print-readably* and *print-escape* are false, then printer escaping is "disabled".

Shareable data are coded study data from:


hoverIntent is a plug-in that attempts to determine the user's intent... like a crystal ball, only with mouse movement! It is similar to jQuery's hover method. However, instead of calling the handlerIn function immediately, hoverIntent waits until the user's mouse slows down enough before making the call.
Why? To delay or prevent the accidental firing of animations or ajax calls. Simple timeouts work for small areas, but if your target area is large it may execute regardless of intent. That's where hoverIntent comes in...
https://github.com/briancherne/jquery-hoverIntent
$("#demo1 li").hover( makeTall, makeShort );
jQuery's built-in hover calls handlerIn and handlerOut functions immediately. If you move your cursor back and forth quickly across the tiles you'll see how the immediate execution can lead to problems.
$("#demo2 li").hoverIntent( makeTall, makeShort );
hoverIntent is interchangeable with jQuery's hover. It can use the same exact handlerIn and handlerOut functions. It passes the same this and event objects to those functions.
$("#demo3 li").hoverIntent( toggleHeight );
hoverIntent can also take a single handlerInOut, just like jQuery's hover.
$("#demo4").hoverIntent( makeTall, makeShort, 'li' );
Unlike jQuery's hover, hoverIntent supports event delegation! Just pass in a selector of a descendant element.
$("#demo5").hoverIntent( toggleHeight, 'li' );
Unlike jQuery's hover, hoverIntent supports event delegation with handlerInOut.
$("#demo6").hoverIntent({ over: makeTall, out: makeShort, selector: 'li' });
To control hoverIntent more precisely and override the default configuration options, pass it an object as the first parameter. The object must at least contain an "over" function. If the "over" function is sent alone, it will act just like handlerInOut.
These are the common options you'll want to use. Note, nothing prevents you from sending an empty function as the handlerIn or handlerOut functions.
Required. The handlerIn function you'd like to call on "mouseenter with intent". Your function receives the same "this" and "event" objects as it would from jQuery's hover method. If the "over" function is sent alone (without "out") then it will be used in both cases like the handlerInOut param.
The handlerOut function you'd like to call on "mouseleave after timeout". Your function receives the same "this" and "event" objects as it would from jQuery's hover method. Note, hoverIntent will only call the "out" function if the "over" function has been called.
A simple delay, in milliseconds, before the "out" function is called. If the user mouses back over the element before the timeout has expired the "out" function will not be called (nor will the "over" function be called). This is primarily to protect against sloppy/human mousing trajectories that temporarily (and unintentionally) take the user off of the target element... giving them time to return. Default timeout: 0
A selector string for event delegation. Used to filter the descendants of the selected elements that trigger the event. If the selector is null or omitted, the event is always triggered when it reaches the selected element. Read jQuery's API Documentation for the .on() method for more information.
Modify these only if you are brave, test tirelessly, and completely understand what you are doing. When choosing the default settings for hoverIntent I tried to find the best possible balance between responsiveness and frequency of false positives.
If the mouse travels fewer than this number of pixels between polling intervals, then the "over" function will be called. With the minimum sensitivity threshold of 1, the mouse must not move between polling intervals. With higher sensitivity thresholds you are more likely to receive a false positive. Note that hoverIntent r7 and earlier perform this comparison using rectilinear distance, whereas more recent versions compare against Euclidean (straight-line) distance for better accuracy and intuition. If you are upgrading from an older version, you may want to verify that the desired behavior is preserved. Default sensitivity: 6
The number of milliseconds hoverIntent waits between reading/comparing mouse coordinates. When the user's mouse first enters the element its coordinates are recorded. The soonest the "over" function can be called is after a single polling interval. Setting the polling interval higher will increase the delay before the first possible "over" call, but also increases the time to the next point of comparison. Default interval: 100
hoverIntent r5 suffers from a defect in Google Chrome that improperly triggers mouseout when entering a child input[type="text"] element. hoverIntent r6 uses the same mouseenter/mouseleave special events as jQuery's built-in hover, and jQuery 1.5.1 patched this issue. Thanks to Colin Stuart for tipping me off about this and for providing isolated code to demonstrate/test.
This page uses a modern version of jQuery and hoverIntent, so when your
cursor goes over the text input nothing should change (it should continue
to read "enter parent" because you are still over this grey paragraph).
However, if you were using Google Chrome and if this page were using
jQuery 1.5 (or earlier) and hoverIntent r5 (or earlier), moving the cursor
over the text input would improperly trigger the mouseout event, and the
value would change to "leave parent".
If you place an element flush against the edge of the browser chrome, sometimes Internet Explorer does not trigger a "mouseleave" event if your cursor leaves the element/browser in that direction. hoverIntent cannot correct for this.
pageX
and
pageY
properties of the event passed to the "over" handler
now reflect current mouse position.
Note that this may be a breaking change for some; if your "over"
handler requires the unmodified coordinates from original mouseover,
you can read them from the event.originalEvent
. Many other improvements and bug fixes.

20 April 1954 – 9 November 2014
Myles Munroe was born in Nassau, Bahamas in 1954 and has been a lifetime resident of the Bahamas. He has degrees in fine arts, education and theology from Oral Roberts University (1978), a Master’s degree in administration from the University of Tulsa (1980), and he has been awarded a number of honorary doctoral degrees. He has also served as an adjunct professor of the Graduate School of Theology at Oral Roberts University. His wife, Ruth Munroe is co-pastor with him at BFMI. He has a son Chairo (Myles Jr.) and daughter Charisa.
He died in a plane crash, along with his wife Ruth and daughter Charisa and members of his Bahama Faith Ministries.Severe weather was thought to be a factor in the crash. Heavy rain was buffeting the region when the Lear 36 Executive Jet exploded on impact with a crane at the Grand Bahama Ship Yard and plunged into a junkyard below as it was approaching Freeport. A commercial flight on the same route had turned back around the same time because it was unable to land.
The Bahamian Prime Minister, Perry Christie, paid tribute: “It is utterly impossible to measure the magnitude of Dr Munroe’s loss to the Bahamas and to the world. He was indisputably one of the most globally recognisable religious figures our nation has ever produced. His fame as an ambassador for the Christian ministry preceded him wherever in the world he travelled.” Read More

ergoemacs_mode.json.rb
.In Zsh, the command backward-kill-line
does not have a keybinding by default and the shortcut for "Delete to beginning of line" will
delete the whole line instead. To get it to work correctly, you need to add the following to
your ~/.zshrc
file:
bindkey "^U" backward-kill-line
If you are using Prezto's editor module, then this is included automatically.

Easy-to-make sweet pastry, plenty of fruit and a sprinkling of sugar – that's all you need for this comfort-food classic.
To make the pastry, put the flour in a mixing bowl or food processor. Add the butter, sugar and salt and rub everything together using your fingertips until it has the texture of fine breadcrumbs. (Alternatively, pulse in the food processor.) Add the large egg and iced water and mix or pulse together until well combined. Tip out onto a work surface and bring together into a ball of pastry. Wrap in cling film and put in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200C/Fan 180C/Gas 6. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface to a rough circle approximately 35cm/14in diameter. Using the rolling pin, lift the pastry onto the baking tray.
Sprinkle the rhubarb over the pastry, leaving a rim of about 5cm/2in. Scatter the strawberries on top of the rhubarb, then sprinkle the fruit with the 2–3 tablespoons of sugar.
Fold up the pastry edges to make a pie with an open centre. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp and the fruit is cooked. Sieve the icing sugar over the pastry to serve if you wish.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.",

The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).",
"descriptionc": "Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.  Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.., comes from a line in section 1.10.32.",

Magnesium deprivation stops pathogen growth

When pathogens invade the cells, our body combats them using various methods. Researchers at the University of Basel's Biozentrum have now been able to show how a cellular pump keeps such invading pathogens in check. As the researchers report in Science, this pump causes a magnesium shortage, which in turn restricts bacterial growth.
When pathogens infect an organism, the defense system immediately starts to fight the bacteria. To escape the patrolling immune cells, some bacteria invade and replicate inside host cells. However, the host has developed various strategies to keep the intracellular bacteria under control.
Olivier Cunrath and Prof. Dirk Bumann at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, have now discovered that magnesium is crucial for bacterial growth inside host cells. Magnesium starvation is a stress factor for the bacteria, which stops their growth and replication. The host cells limit magnesium supply to these intracellular pathogens using a transport protein called NRAMP1.
Host protein suppresses pathogens
In their study, the researchers investigated Salmonella, a bacterial pathogen that causes gastroenteritis and typhoid fever. The bacteria settle in small inclusions in the macrophages of the immune system. Whether and how quickly Salmonella replicate inside these vesicles and spread depends on the proper functioning of the NRAMP1 transporter.
"It has been known for decades that NRAMP1 makes the host more resistant, but how and why has remained unclear," says Bumann. "We were greatly surprised to find that this transport protein pumps magnesium ions out of the vesicles and thus restricts Salmonella growth. This is a new and completely unexpected mechanism."
Magnesium as an Achilles heel for bacteria
As magnesium is a central component of many metabolic enzymes, a shortage reduces bacterial metabolism and growth. "Magnesium seems to be the Achilles heel for intracellular pathogens. The less magnesium is available, the harder they try to get it. The bacteria go on alert and activate all magnesium uptake systems. Nevertheless, they do not manage to get enough," says first author Cunrath. "However, if the pump in the host cells is defective, magnesium is available in sufficient quantities to enable rapid Salmonella growth."
Transporter affects host resistance
The function of NRAMP1 determines host susceptibility to infections. Animals and humans with reduced NRAMP1 are more susceptible to various intracellular pathogens. If this transporter is completely absent, even a very small number of pathogens can cause a fatal infection.
Infections are always a race between the host and the pathogen. New drugs that would make it even harder for the bacteria to obtain magnesium, could slow down the pathogens even more and thus provide the host a decisive advantage in defeating the infection.

<canvas data-tag="Message, data, hash, etc." width="32" height="32"> </canvas>
Installation
- Make sure JQuery is available on your page.
-
Grab minified version of VTag, add it to your page. Consult with following snippet to get the job done:
... <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/vtag-0.1.min.js"> </script> </body> </html>
-
Add initialization code. For example:
<script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $("[data-tag]").vtag(); }); </script>
- VTags are ready to be rendered to your heart's content.
F.A.Q.
- What's it all about?
- It's all about generating a simple random colorful icon for a given string. This icon remains constant for every particular string, effectively representing its visual hash or fingerprint. We refer to such icon as VTag (V stands for Visual).
- Prepended as a small icon to every row in a large and boring dataset, VTags can cause substantial increase of perceptual recognizability and distinctibility of data.
- The effect is especially evident when user repeatedly scans through the same records multiple times.
- This stuff is childish — there's no way I'm using it in my dead-serious enteprise application.
- Most enterprise applications out there could use some techniques to improve the scan-through quality and distinctibility of their datasets for humans. Vivid colors — despite their ugliness — are highly recommended as they create quick perceptive associations.
- However, it is remarkably easy to tweak the color scheme to suit your very special needs (you can even create monochromatic color scheme). Make sure you share your thoughts with the World by submitting issues and pull requests.
- I've already seen this kind of icons. Can't seem to remember, where exactly...
- Yup. We took the idea of the default
retro
icons at Gravatar for our initial renderer. None of the code is taken from them, though. - However, we plan to extend our renderers to support other styles of visual distinctibility.
- How does it work?
- Each tag is rendered entirely on client side (in browser) using
HTML5 canvas API. All parameters (colors, points, etc.) are evaluated
by analysing the message from
data-tag
attribute. - I've never used
<canvas>
element in my markup. I kinda afraid of it. - There's nothing too special about
canvas
from the document designer's view. Most of the time browsers will render canvas as inline elements by default (they behave pretty much like images). - You can apply CSS rules just like you would do to
img
. - However, there is one (arguably annoying) thing you should always
remember about:
canvas
element is not a self-closing tag. -
Doing like this is prohibited:
<canvas data-tag="Hello world!"/>
Always type like this instead:
<canvas data-tag="Hello world!"></canvas>
- What about the speed? How fast is it?
- Speed is mostly limited to MD5 hash evaluation.
- See for yourself:
- Still, client side rendering costs are negligible compared to network-incurred actions, such as loading icons from Gravatar.
 I mean, seriously, what's this — some kind of primal pixel art from the Stone Age?
- Dude, you're totally awesome! Now help spread the love by contributing us a renderer which will make the world a better place.


AudioRama's database consists of 110,000 audiobooks. These audiobooks span 23 different categories and 176 sub-categories. To explore the distribution of categories, please click the button below.
The database consists of audiobooks narrations from 26,698 distinct narrators and 45,919 distinct authors. This author-narrator ratio (2:1) can be attributed to multiple narrators contributing to books in multiple categories, as you will see later on in this page.To explore the distribution of narrators, please click the button below.
The database consists of 54,963 distinct narrators-category pairs. Some narrators are popular in multiple categories, an example is Joel Leslie, who is a popular narrator in categories ranging from romance to mysteries. To explore the distribution of top narrator-category pairs, please click the button below.
One of the initial steps in building our recommendation engine is to convert a representative book vector (with relevant key words) into a high dimensional embedding using a pre-trained Glove model. Please refer to the about section for more details. We can look at key dimensions of books in different categories by a dimensionality reduction method called uniform manifold approximation and projection or UMAP. To explore different category clusters, please click the button below. Notice how local order is preserved within all but one category.
Similarly, we can explore clusters of books written by top narrators. In these clusters, you will not observe local order as one narrator can contribute to multiple different genres/categories of books. However, there are some exceptions, like the pink cluster that corresponds to Dave Wright. Dave Wright is a popular non-fiction narrator and most of the books in this particular cluster are books related to health and wellness, hence the local order.

I'm not sure I understand this question. The only way to store results of propagation is to store a clone of a space. That's what a search engine does. either for every choice point, or only for some (in case of recomputation). Please read the chapter about search engines, it will answer your questions about which spaces are stored (in particular 36.5, hybrid recomputation).

It just posts the decision (that's the point of having choices, you only run the entire propagation once, after posting all the choices). Calling status() will trigger all the propagation that results from the choices you committed to. Committing to choices is therefore the same as posting constraints (no propagation happens until you call status()).

I love drugs. Way more than I should. I'm 19 years old, I have no job, I'm a college dropout, and every single day I wake up to the same painful, itchy motivation.
Then again, I suppose everyone has their hobbies. Some work on their cars, some follow sports, I like to see things and feel good.
I don't condone intra-veinous drug use. I believe that after the first real IV hit of a drug, one can begin to develop an affection for the needle. After I injected OxyContin for the first time, I began dabbling with injecting every drug I could (with proper research beforehand, of course). Pushing chemicals directly into my bloodstream is completely different than any other method of drug administration. What makes it that way is simple: the head rush. A head rush is a damn hard thing to ignore, and once I experienced it, it was very, very hard to forget. It lingers in the back of my head, even while I may be happily sedated on other drugs, I know that I've found the best of the best, and I feel like I'm wasting my time and money on anything else. And thats how the slippery slope starts.
On to my first IV experience....
My friend and ex-heroin addict, A., picked up two OC's from Rochester, not far from my CNY town. I had expressed interest in shooting up to him previously, and he ran me through the basics. I agreed to shooting with him, as he had recently procured a clean 10-pack of 100-unit insulin single-use needles.
He warned me that a whole 80mg dose of OxyContin could be dangerous to some first time shooters, so I told him about a time 6 months earlier when I had insuffulated 60mg of OC and drank a fifth of rum, and the worst that happened was vomiting. Besides, I was gung-ho about it at the time.
He broke my 80mg tablet of Oxy into 4 similar pieces and placed them into a spoon. He then pulled 85 units of clean water into my syringe, and squirted it onto the pill. Next, he cooked the pill with a Bic until there was some bubbling and a faint trace of steam above the mix. In one motion, he crushed the cooked pill with the back of the plunger, and it squished down into the mix. Last, he placed a tic-tac sized cotton piece in the spoon, and drew up roughly 70 units of liquid oxycodone into the syringe.
 He inserted the needle head, pulled back blood to indicate a clean vein hit, and pushed the plunger down as I let loose the tie.
INSTANTLY, I felt my first real head rush, and let me tell you, it was insane. All at once, the tension in my body released, and I fell back onto a pillow, and stared at the ceiling, enjoying the incredible wave of warmth that surrounded my being. It was as if God himself reached through the clouds and granted me total bliss, without any responsibilities or worries. The world was suddenly right, and all of the suffering of humans no longer mattered. I distinctly remember it as the most euphoric moment of my life.
The Initial head rush stayed with me for about a half hour, followed by the easiest, most settling opiate high I have ever known.   I was laughing hysterically the whole time I was throwing up. While music was enjoyable, I remember not really caring about my surroundings. I could shoot OC and heroin in a completely dark and empty room and still have a blast.
That is actually the testament to the true power of shooting up drugs like OxyCodone and Heroin, the pleasure from the high is so intense that addicts are able to accept the fact that their lives are shit, that they may lose everything in the end, and not care. They accept their lives no matter how ridiculous the circumstance, and just keep pushing and pushing to stash more, because the high is literally that good.
That was my first experience with shooting up, in October of 2006.
Since then, I have put Cocaine, Morphine, MDMA, Methamphetamine, and Heroin into my arm. I have even shot whiskey and sometimes warm water just for the act of using the needle.
I spent my student loans and scholarships real quick. Then I dropped out. Then I sold everything. First to go was the iPod my dad bought me for Christmas. Then my Xbox, games, movies, and even my baseball card collection. Then I started stealing. I'm still stealing.  I'm in the kind of weird junkie phase right now that would prompt me to write this, and think the last 5 months over.
Well, I guess there's always Methadone....

Summarizing parrotfish data under the single shift at the intramandibular joint. See version stable code for data loading/transforms (parrotfish_data.R), and for plots (parrotfish.R) as shown, and for analysis functions (loop_models_traits_regimes.R). Models are named by the parameter which is regime-dependent. Results are shown sorted by likelihood, so the best model is on top, and likelihood values are scaled by the weakest model.
Tree:
alpha is favored in all the ratio traits, sometimes substantially.
Without size corrections the muscle traits essentially reflect body mass. Though ratio may be better than the regression:
Size-corrected length traits show a substantial signal:
The appaxial muscle looks strong candidate for release of constraint, the control muscles not involved with the jaw mechanism do not show any such release:
Strength of constraint (alpha parameter), by trait: log ratio of intramandibular to other parrotfish:
hmm, doesn’t match the general model fits:
Puzzles and puzzle-shooting
A couple traits don’t converge for the general model:
conv(test) [1] “trait AM.x regime intramandibular model wright didn’t converge” [1] “trait SH.y regime intramandibular model wright didn’t converge” [1] “trait LP.y regime intramandibular model wright didn’t converge”
Above uses equal-alpha always as starting conditions (taken from hansen fit). Comparing against a fit attempt using very different alphas for each regime (intra at 0.1, other at 5). Comparisons run and pushed to flickr, gallery below. Results are clearly different; i.e. alpha ratios on release (alpha varies) model:
(replotted without the two dominant ratios here, first in stream below.)
[flickr-gallery mode=“search” tags=“phylogenetics” min_upload_date=“2011-05-05 18:00:00” max_upload_date=“2011-05-05 18:45:00”]
Results in more convergence errors, but not enough to explain difference (only one release_constraint model didn’t converge):
conv(test) [1] “trait bodymass, regime intramandibular, model ouch didn’t converge” [1] “trait bodymass, regime intramandibular, model release_constraint didn’t converge” [1] “trait LP.x, regime intramandibular, model ouch didn’t converge” [1] “trait open, regime intramandibular, model ouch didn’t converge” [1] “trait kt, regime intramandibular, model ouch didn’t converge” [1] “trait LP.y, regime intramandibular, model wright didn’t converge”
(commitwith this version of code)
Illustrates need for more robust searching of the likelihood surface!
Trying now with simulated annealing, shows a release of constraint:
wright_alphas intramandibular other gape.y 3.786699 12.59779 prot.y 9.275002 15.27857 release_alphas intramandibular other gape.y 2.008825 2.262495 prot.y 23.093936 25.768637
Protrusion strongly favors alpha model:
lliks $gape.y gen alpha sigma 0.0000000 0.7693642 1.0315282
$prot.y sigma gen alpha 0.00000 13.04190 13.44653
Worrisome that gen doesn’t do best though, it probably needs a slower cooling schedule for so many parameters. (code)
Trying with slower cooling, starting with unfavorable init conditions (higher alpha for intramandibulars):
release_alphas intramandibular other gape.y 1.969489 0.6064478 prot.y 25.087304 27.2187761 > wright_alphas intramandibular other gape.y 2.198133 4.446376 prot.y 20.443740 22.325272 >
Clearly just need super aggressive parameters. Robust search for actual inferences coming up. Need to add automated clever convergence testing.

Samuel, who played for the likes of Aston Villa and Bolton in his Premier League career, was killed in a car crash in May 2018, aged 37.
However, coroners have now confirmed complaints from the player’s family regarding the way his accident was investigated.
They believe Samuel was not actually at the wheel of his Range Rover when it crashed in Cheshire last year, and wanted to be able to carry out their own DNA tests.
His wife Emma has refused to comment on these allegations, according to a report detailing this whole strange situation in the Sun.

I'm pretty wacky that my weight stays the same weight, but on the other hand every week I drop about half a pound off the weight, maybe a little more, so tomorrow I might see at least half a pound.
So true, I did not go down this week as much as I wanted to, but there is still time or at least one day until I do another check on my weight, which means after a weekend I will test how much I lost, if at all, and in my opinion lost at least half a pound or more. Although it doesn't look that way right now.
Good night.

Overview
This recipe describes building a new hires app (e.g. onboarding or payroll) in Talent App Store.
New hires apps learn about job applications that have transitioned into a new "phase" such as Hired, using the
batch oriented pull APIs, and optionally the more real time push APIs.
Both models rely heavily on application views. You'll need a good understanding of views to build your app.
You can learn about views here.
Pulling events
In this example, your app uses the pull model to maintain its set of recent new hires:
- Your app consumes the pull API GET /applications/views/at/onboard/now.
- A new hire is made:
- Fred applies for a job, resulting in a job application
- The recruitment team moves the application into the "shortlist" phase and evaluates Fred's suitability
- Eventually the team decides to hire Fred, and moves the application into the "onboard" phase.
- On the hour, your app starts its scheduled pull of the latest candidates to be onboarded.
- Your app consumes GET /applications/views/at/onboard/now
- Filtering to only get new onboarders since the previous upload
- The response includes a view for every new onboarder
- Once complete, your app stores the date of this upload, so it can be used as a filter when the upload next runs.
Using incoming push events
In this example, your app uses the push model:
- Your app produces the push API POST /applications/views/at/onboard/now/byID/{application}/pushes.
- Fred applies for a job, resulting in a job application
- The recruitment team moves the application into the "shortlist" phase and evaluates Fred's suitability
- Eventually the team decides to hire Fred, and moves the application into the "onboard" phase.
- Immediately, the applicant tracking system (ATS) notifies your app by consuming
POST /applications/views/at/onboard/now/byID/{application}/pushes
on it.
- The request body includes a view - a formatted json object containing all the data your app needs about the job application, the candidate, the job, and other
resources such as the job's manager and recruiter.
You can use push events alone for integration if you want. However if your system is down, or an API call is lost on the internet, then you may miss out on a new hire.
This is not a good thing, as it can be quite a hassle for someone at the customer or the ATS support team to remedy the situation.
Even when using push, its good practice therefore to always pull events, just to pick up on any that you may have missed the push event for.
Available phases
Set up
Lets look at the push APIs in action by installing some apps.
Note: when installing apps, the apps that have links are sandbox apps that you install via their install token - the other apps
can be found publicly listed (find them with "Browse apps").
Install apps and prepare test data
- First, follow these instructions to install Developer ATS and create a job application.
- Return to Developer ATS and you should see the incoming job application (in the Incoming bucket).
- Install the Developer Alerts app. This is a test app that listens to the push APIs, and emails the view to you.
- Open and sign into Developer Alerts, and enable notifications for "Hire".
In the following steps, we'll complete the setup to get a view, containing a new custom data field, pushed to the Developer Alerts when a a new hire is made.
Capture data into a custom field when a new hire is made
- Click to Settings -> Custom Fields -> Candidate -> User Provided.
- Create a date field with the title "Date hired", and key "DATEHIRED".
- On the same page, click the Workflow mappings tab.
- Check the box to map your new field to the Hired bucket - i.e. you are saying that when a new hire is made the field should be provided.
Add your custom field to the default view
- Click to Setting -> Views and edit the default view.
- Under candidate, you'll see your Date hired field - check to add it to the default view.
Map the default view to the new hires event, for the test app
- Click to Settings -> Pushes. We want the default view to be pushed to the Developer Alerts app whenever a new hire is made, so create a new push with these details:
- A name (anything)
- The app (Developer Aalerts in this case)
- The view to be used (default)
- The phase (Hire)
Make the new hire
Now that setup is complete:
- go back to Developer ATS, and click to move your job application to the Hired bucket.
- You'll see your new field - enter a date in it and complete the move.
You're done! Now check your email (including your spam folder) and you should see an email from the Developer Alerts app, with the contents of the default view, including your custom field.
API flow to/from your app
note right of app: a tenant installs your app
core->app: POST /tenants
note right of app: tenant opens your app
storefront->app: GET /appStatus
note right of app: ATS tells you about a new hire (or onboard, etc.)
ats->app: POST /applications/views/at/hire/now/byID/{application}/pushes
Implementing the APIs
Produce POST /tenants
The first API call incoming to your app is to tell you that a tenant has installed it.
Typically you might handle this API call by inserting into your customer table, sending an email to customer support team, etc. You
might show the "setup required" icon and a settings page to facilitate this.
See installing and controlling setup and launch pages for more.
Produce POST /applications/views/at/hire/now/byID/{application}/pushes
Example
POST /applications/views/at/hire/now/byID/{application}/pushes
Request:
Each incoming POST to your app's endpoint contains a view, with details about the new hire.
The view is customised by the customer to include only the fields that you need for the integration.

Click to read the 2020 Call for divestment:
2020 CALL FOR BELLINGHAM POLICE DIVESTMENT/COMMUNITY REINVESTMENTDefund BPD Coalition
2020 has brought to light the many challenges we face as a community. As a coalition we recognize the vast injustices within our current systems, and call to action our elected officials who have the power to effect change. It is our local government who must initiate alternative methods to heal our racial and social prejudices systemically. We demand that the City of Bellingham answer the call.
Per the national movement in Defense of Black Lives, we bring our attention to the Bellingham Police Department’s 34 million dollar budget. This 36% of the city’s general budget is severely inflated and must be divested, reallocating the funds to supporting community members left behind. As such, the Defund BPD Coalition stands in solidarity with the demands laid out by the national Black Lives Matter movement and local POC leadership calling for defunding the police in Bellingham:
We call for at least a 50% cut to Bellingham Police Department funding for the 2021-22 budget and a reallocation of those funds towards community-led health and safety systems, as well as other programs for community wellbeing.
We reject the argument that the City of Bellingham isn’t responsible for many services including mental health and substance abuse programming, which is currently managed by Whatcom County. We further reject the argument that the City of Bellingham has no effect on the entities that control the education, housing and job security programs in our area. We urge city officials to admit their laxity as complicity, and to restore their integrity and perceived good faith from the community by realizing these demands.
We expect funding to be reallocated from BPD to these programs, in ways that may include funding community organizations who can handle the infrastructure of program creation and/or expansion.
OUTLINE OF SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAMS FOR COMMUNITY AID REINVESTMENT
We offer the following list of alternatives to policing: services that support our community through caring and proactive, rather than punitive, systems. Expanded mental health services:
We need a fully functioning mobile mental health crisis team outside of law enforcement that is staffed 24 hours per day and serves people experiencing mental health, substance abuse and domestic violence crises (similar to Eugene, Oregon’s CAHOOTS program). This would require changing 911 dispatch policies so that the police are no longer the first responders for these kinds of crises. We also call for an expanded mental health crisis stabilization center that can meet the community’s mental health needs. Lastly, we demand funding for a mental health and substance abuse peer support program.
Safe, secure, and affordable housing for our community:
We call for an end to sweeps, instead prioritizing health and safety for current encampments. We need allocation for new spaces to host more tiny home villages. We also demand renovations on currently unused buildings of 20 or more units for community members who are without housing or at risk to lose housing, with paid staff to manage the buildings and provide resources for tenants (per the demands of Homes Now!).
Expanded substance abuse treatment and harm reduction services:
We demand expansion of our mobile harm reduction program. Harm reduction services, such as clean needle exchange programs, are low cost and effective ways to support the safety of our community. Substance abuse treatment is also woefully inadequate for people who can’t afford quality treatment. We call for funds to be allocated for creating an inpatient treatment facility for people with co-occurring disorders. This program must use evidence-based treatment modalities and be a free service for people who can’t afford treatment.
Community and Cultural Spaces for Black and Indigenous Folks:
We demand the creation of cultural and community spaces/centers for Black and Indigenous members of our community: spaces that center Black and Indigenous voices, celebrate culture, history, and connection. These spaces would strengthen and support communities that have experienced systemic violence and oppression, as a means to provide resilient community-building.
Supporting Black and Indigenous Economic Development:
We demand the creation of economic development services for Black and Indigenous people in Bellingham. This would consist of creating an economic equity grant program for BIPOC business incubation, as well as hiring a staff member as a liaison for BIPOC business development and intergovernmental affairs. Black and Indigenous people have been systematically disenfranchised, experiencing loss of land and hindrances to business development, and types of harm which in Bellingham has included extreme displacement from the region as well as extreme racial violence. Acknowledging this violent history means that we owe black and indigenous community members reparations and material support for developing economic self-sufficiency as a path towards reconciliation, self-determination and sovereignty.
Expanded Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services:
We demand funding to be allocated to services that support survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. We must expand shelter capacities and permanent housing. We need to implement a restorative justice model for domestic violence and sexual assault cases, housed outside of the legal system. We need to invest in accessible violence prevention education and perpetrator treatment programs run by community organizations, rather than the legal system. These programs will offer survivors the capacity to rebuild trust in community systems of support enough to feel safe engaging in society.
Worker’s Cooperatives:
We demand the city to invest in the development of a worker’s cooperatives incubation program that serves marginalized communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and economically oppressed people. Worker co-ops not only can mitigate the regional effects of recession, serving as a preventative measure towards keeping people from needing other emergency-based social services, but they also tend to facilitate higher rates of business ownership by women, people of color, and other systematically oppressed people. By destratifying organizational power and empowering the communities who are akin to their service goals, worker co-ops reduce inequality while building regional resilience to economic turbulence, and community resilience through shared accountability for personal safety.
Food Sovereignty Programs: Food Sovereignty is defined as “the right of peoples to healthy and culturally-appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems.” As such, it’s important we address both aspects of this concept: 1) the right to food security and 2) the health and wellbeing of farmworkers. We need to reallocate funds to programs that ensure citizens have access to affordable and nutritious food with no strings attached. Though Bellingham Food Bank is a great resource for able-bodied folks who have access to transportation and kitchen use, the lack of reliable access to nutritious, ready-to-eat meals for marginalized people must be addressed. We demand a program that brings prepared food to encampments and other places with high-density homeless populations.
On the notion of sustainable food systems, we demand reallocation to the Community to Community Development (C2C) Food Sovereignty Program. This funding will ensure that local farmworkers are being properly compensated for their labor, as they are principal actors in our economy and food production system.
Community Land Trusts:
Community Land Trusts are a way to ensure affordable housing for communities in perpetuity, as well as create community equity, empowerment and engagement through active stewardship of buildings and land. We urge the city to invest in the development and expansion of community land trusts supporting local urban and rural land acquisition projects. These land acquisitions can create more safe, inclusive and sustainable neighborhoods, commercial spaces and community facilities. This is an innovative means to provide housing as well as economic security, community development and public safety to the citizens of Bellingham. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in Education and Youth Program Development: We demand a diverse offering of youth and educational programming in Bellingham to bolster the self-development, empowerment, and community and environmental engagement of Bellingham’s youth. These must be offerings that help give youth more agency over their lives and over their position in society, while also further ensuring access for youth of color. Likewise, we demand Black and Indigneous programing and curriculum in the school system, developed by members of those communities, allowing youth access to a fuller understanding of local, regional, and global history.
Expansion of Early Childcare Education and Before & After School Care programs: In support of the vision of the Child and Family Action Plan, County Council adopted the following first action step: Establish new structures and processes to elevate the well-being of all children and families as a county priority. This will require a richer understanding of who in our community has access to opportunities and what structural barriers are in place preventing certain children and families from full access to the thriving start. Children benefit in terms of social, emotional and educational outcomes from attending early learning and childcare. This echoes out to create sustainable families, where parents are able to maintain a stable household and childcare workers have secure jobs.
The programs outlined above are examples of what would make our community truly equitable, safe, and thriving. Our coalition continues to do research on each program, and we intend to share more in-depth proposals offering examples of community groups or organizations that are best equipped to enact these programs, as well as specific funding amounts. There are many other community programs and ideas for how to use funds from the BPD budget in a way that prevents crises and suffering, as well as promotes health, wellbeing, and prosperity for marginalized communities, rather than arresting them. We expect you to listen to the needs and ideas of the community when forming budgets. We look forward to receiving your response to these demands.
Sincerely,
Defund BPD Coalition

personal thinking styles and the growth mindset
I am a concrete random thinker. According to Anthony Gregorc's model, this means I am a risk-taking experimenter who relies upon his intuation to solve problems. I thrive in competitive environments where I can be left to my own devices and use trial-and-error to arrrive at a solution to a problem. Formalities, routines, and detailed record keeping are my weaknesses. I think anyone who knows me well enough would agree with the result of this quiz. It should be noted that the abstract sequential learning style was a close second for me. I am, in line with this learning profile, someone who loves the world of theory and abstract thought. These two seemingly condratictory learning styles acutally lend themselves very nicely to each other and my overall mindset. I learn most effictively when I have the chance to research theory and develop a sound understanding of an abstract concept first and then experiment with what I have found in order to apply these ideas to the real world. Whenever I approach a new challenge with DBC, I give myself ample time to research the concepts outlined, then buckle down and try things out -- the experimentation reinforces the theory. My biggest challenges admittedly relate to time management. I am highly curious and like to think in unconventional ways to solve problems. The downside of all this is that I can struggle to meet deadlines are even stay focused on the task at hand. If something sparks my interest, I will pour my energy into it seeking to absorb as much knowledge on the topic of choice as possible. Of course, the thing I'm pouring my time, energy, and resources into isn't always the task at hand. I'm learning just how valuable pair programming (after performing a bit of personal research) can be to me. It provides an avenue for experimentation where I will often have a different idea about how to solve a problem than my partner. Pairing also keeps me on track, rather than spinning off in a million different directions. Perhaps most importantly, pairing is the best way for me to continue to hone a growth mindset. While I'd love to think of myself as 100% in the growth mindset, I am still fixed in a few aspects. A big part of this is fear of failure -- while I know this shouldn't hold me back and that every experience is a learning opportunity, I will admit this is an area of personal development I am working on. Pairing helps in this aim by forcing me to think on my feet in front of others and provide ideas that may or may not work. Even when these ideas do not produce a viable solution, the "thinking out loud" method and sharking ideas with a partner speeds up the process. And every time I pair, I feel inspired and motivated by my peers, which is a key facet of the growth mindset.

start, --start
Start the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.

restart, --restart
Restart the httpd instance and exit. Regenerate configuration files as necessary for spawning a new instance.
You may specify configuration in your .git/config
[instaweb] local = true httpd = apache2 -f port = 4321 browser = konqueror modulepath = /usr/lib/apache2/modules
If the configuration variable instaweb.browser is not set, web.browser will be used instead if it is defined. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this.

My father (Robert Hunter Cook) started one of the 1st Shirt Manufacturing businesses in Sydney at Balmain about 1896. My brother Herbert, after leaving school went in with him, then my brother Ernest. Arthur went into the Printing Business, eventually finishing up with his own business. Then when I left school I went in with my Father in the shirt factory and stayed in that line of business until I retired, although not in the business father had started. During the Depression of 1930 everything went haywire, so it was a case of starting from scratch again. I took on a factory manager's job and gradually got on my feet again, and finished my working days as a Manager of an Industrial Clothing Factory. I am now 75 and in good health, still able to drive my own car and enjoy life without any worries. My wife is also in good health.
