baseline
(deg=3, max_it=100, tol=0.001)[source]¶ Computes the baseline of a given data.
Iteratively performs a polynomial fitting in the data to detect its baseline. At every iteration, the fitting weights on the regions with peaks is reduced to identify the baseline only.
Parameters: deg : int
Degree of the polynomial that will estimate the data baseline. A low degree may fail to detect all the baseline present, while a high degree may make the data too oscillatory, especially at the edges.
max_it : int
Maximum number of iterations to perform.
tol : float
Tolerance to use when comparing the difference between the current fit coefficient and the ones from the last iteration. The iteration procedure will stop when the difference between them is lower than tol.
Returns: ndarray
Array with the baseline amplitude for every original point in y
-
basetol
= 0.001¶
-
centroid
(chans=[0, -1])[source]¶ Computes the centroid for the specified data.
Parameters: chans : list
The indexes to start and end at. Default: [0,-1]
Returns: float
Centroid of the data.

(thres=0.0, min_dist=5)[source]¶ Peak detection routine.
Finds the peaks in y by taking its first order difference. By using thres and min_dist parameters, it is possible to reduce the number of detected peaks.
Parameters: thres : float
Threshold for detecting a peak/valley. The absolute value of the intensity must be above this value. Default: 0.0
min_dist : int
Minimum distance between each detected peak. The peak with the highest amplitude is preferred to satisfy this constraint.
Returns: ndarray
Array containing the indexes of the peaks that were detected
-
interpolate
(ind=None, width=10, func='gaussian_fit')[source]¶ Tries to enhance the resolution of the peak detection by using Gaussian fitting, centroid computation or an arbitrary function on the neighborhood of each previously detected peak index.
Parameters: ind : ndarray
Indexes of the previously detected peaks. If None, indexes() will be called with the default parameters.
width : int
Number of points (before and after) each peak index to pass to func in order to increase the resolution in x.

Pairing is important to DBC because it helps you learn to code better, learn to work with others, and prepares you for real-world jobs in web development. Pair programming enables boots to practice what they learn in Engineering Empathy. Furthermore, collaboration helps with spontaneous learning and coming up with creative solutions to problems.
Today's pairing went very well, despite some technical difficulties and it being our first guided pairing session. While it was a little nerve-racking pairing in-front of the guide, Kevin and Mike both feel the communication and chemistry was great. It helped that, from the start, we were open about our ideas on how pairing should play out. By doing so, Kevin and Mike were able to work flexibly and produce this "sweet" web page.


New Kilbirnie Ladeside boss on challenge of replacing 'best pal' in dugout
Robert Scott admits club have taken "massive risk" in handing him his first managerial job but insists he's ready for role.
by Eric McGowan, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/eric-mcgowan/New Kilbirnie Ladeside boss Robert Scott insists he's ready to cope with a managerial baptism of fire after replacing best pal Liam McGuinness in the Blasties' hotseat.
Scott was promoted from his coaching role at the club on Monday in a reshuffling of the pack at the West Premiership side that sees McGuinness retained as a player.
It's a rather unusual set of circumstances that would provide food for thought for a seasoned gaffer, never mind a rookie like Scott in his first managerial job.
In the space of less than three weeks, Scott has gone from taking orders from McGuinness to being in a position of issuing them to him.
Scott, 36, admits his appointment is a gamble but insists McGuinness' continued presence at the club will be a massive help to him.
"Liam is a great lad," he said. "We grew up in Kilbirnie together and he's my best pal.
"He's the kind of boy you would want in any dressing room.
"He's still one of the best footballers in the league so it's great for us that he wants to keep playing.
"When he was the manager he kept that camaraderie with the dressing room so all the players are delighted to have him in there."
Scott won't be making any sweeping changes to a team that currently sits fourth in table as he finds his feet in the Valefield Park spotlight.
He has however moved quickly to promote Steven McCreadie to the No2 role and brought in Brian Sproul and Steve Morrison to boost the coaching staff.
"Listen, I know the club is taking a massive risk given my lack of managerial experience," Scott addeed.
"I put my name in the hat for the job but never really expected to get it.
"I do feel ready for the challenge though and I'll be giving it my very best shot.
"Coaching badges mean very little in Junior football but I've been coaching for 15 years and completed my A licence.
"I've worked with the likes of Ayr United and Kilmarnock and while this is something completely different for me, I can't wait to get started."
"We've got an excellent squad here and we're maybe a wee bit unfortunate not to be a wee bit higher in the table."
Scott is hoping to add his own stamp to a Blasties side that has scored a healthy 27 goals in 14 league games but shipped 22 at the other end.
He went on: "I like to get in to the finer details, look at the opposition and give players individual roles on the park.
"I can't see there being many changes to the squad before Christmas. Having Steve Morrison and Brian Sproul around will let us look at things with fresh eyes so we will reassess things as we go on."
Kilbirnie's committee issued a statement heralding Scott's appointment on the club website.
It said: "A lot of soul searching has been done by the committee during this time as we took stock of the situation and identified where we needed to go.
The appointment of coach Robert Scott to the new Ladeside manager gives stability to the club, him and Stevie McCreadie have worked well under Liam and are highly respected by the playing squad.
"There is little doubt changes need to be made to improve on the field results and eradicate slips up when we should be recording better results.
"The team showed a good bit of resolve in our last two games v Beith & Cumbernauld Utd, that progress will hopefully continue under Robert."
"Once again we call upon our supporters to back their football club as much as they can this season as they have done in the past."
Scott will take charge of the Blasties for the first time on Saturday when Rutherglen Glencairn visit Valefield on league duty.

The most useful little guide to visualization I've ever found is the decision tree created by Andrew Abela, which you can find here. Do you want to show a comparison, a distribution, a relationship, or a composition? If it's a comparison, is it among items or over time? Each choice leads to a different kind of plot, and while you may not agree with all the choices, it makes the reasoning behind them concrete.
One day, I hope someone will turn that chart into a half-day lesson on visualization for Software Carpentry.  This small data set shows population, number of workshop attendees, and number of instructors by country:
Country, Population, Attendees, Instructors Australia, 23737000, 592, 11 Brazil, 203850000, 116, 1 Canada, 35675000, 1215, 46 China,<PHONE_NUMBER>, 24, 1 Cyprus, 858000, 25, 0 Denmark, 5655000, 20, 1 France, 66092000, 72, 4 Germany, 80767000, 183, 6 Ghana, 27043000, 24, 0 India,<PHONE_NUMBER>, 0, 1 Ireland, 4609000, 0, 1 Israel, 8296000, 0, 1 Italy, 60782000, 81, 1 Japan, 127020000, 0, 1 Jordan, 6688000, 34, 0 Lebanon, 4104000, 25, 0 Netherlands, 16888000, 39, 0 New Zealand, 4560000, 19, 1 Norway, 5156000, 90, 2 Poland, 38496000, 60, 5 Saudi Arabia, 31521000, 20, 0 Singapore, 5469000, 0, 1 South Africa, 54002000, 90, 2 Spain, 46464000, 0, 2 Sweden, 9743000, 54, 3 Switzerland, 8211000, 63, 0 Thailand, 64871000, 0, 1 United Kingdom, 64105000, 1231, 48 United States, 320354000, 5253, 166
I'd like a scatter plot comparing workshop attendees per capita to instructors per capita. This little Python program does that:
import sys import csv import numpy as np from matplotlib import pyplot as plt countries = [] populations = [] attendees = [] instructors = [] with open(sys.argv[1], 'r') as raw: cooked = csv.reader(raw) for (c, p, a, i) in cooked: countries.append(c) populations.append(float(p)) attendees.append(float(a)) instructors.append(float(i)) populations = np.array(populations) / 1e6 attendees = np.array(attendees) / populations instructors = np.array(instructors) / populations plt.scatter(attendees, instructors) plt.xlabel('Attendees per million pop') plt.ylabel('Instructors per million pop') for (label, x, y) in zip(countries, attendees, instructors): plt.annotate(label, xy = (x, y)) plt.show()
(You can download the data and program here and here, and yes, the CSV has all those extra spaces taken out.) The plot produced by this program is:
It's not particularly useful (which is Canadian for "it's awful"): labels overlap, values crowd near the origin, and so on. My challenge to readers is to create something better. More specifically, add a comment to this post with your code (in any language) and a link to the picture it produces, and explain briefly why you think it's better. And while you're thinking about how to do that, have a look at Ned Gulley's In Praise of Tweaking — if there's a way to do for visualization what his programming contest does for performance, I'd like to give it a try.

After two typical attempts with MDMA, a consistent alcohol use and an increasing interest in marijuana, i decided on a trip to the Middle East to try 'shrooming' for the first time. I was in a completely different country with little information about mushrooms at all other than the possibility of a body fry and a description that likened it to 'potent weed'.
I met up with a cousin of mine who i had not seen since we were infants. In my mind even in a sober state, she was still the little girl whom i played dolls with. On that trip, i saw a lot of people who i associated with my childhood in general. I was also alone without my family and friends. I was unaware of the need for security while shrooming. She and her friends were going to shroom for her birthday. They had each bought their own 2 gram bags and split about a half a gram of their own with me (about 2) I had no idea about the typical dosage to take and i assumed they knew it was my first time. I took the shrooms at around 10 o'clock with some soda.
At around 1130, i was not feeling anything at all. I convinced myself the shrooms werent working. In retrospect, i was probably a bit less inhibited than normal. We were all going to walk down to the beach. I decided that I would have a hit of marijuana before we left just so i would actually feel something. I took about 3 hits. After the third hit it felt like some sort of capsule inside of me burst. My face drained from color and i felt dizzy and nauseous. Everyone left to go to the beach and i remained at the apartment.  I thought i was dying.
I lay on the couch spasming and having a full on panic attack for what i was told was 4 hours. Im not sure when people came in to the room or left but it felt like there was just a constant flow of people in and out of the room. I started to associate that with the relationships in my life. the inconsistency, the need for stability waning. It was an experience that really did alter my perspective on the people who i contain in my emotional surroundings.
I knew i was coming out of my trip when i kept trying to remember a band name. For some reason, the next day and since then i have had issues with my ears.  If anything, being informed and secure while taking a drug is the most important thing. I have now been sober for over a year and this experience definitely took me to the threshold of my experimenting.

THE JACKAL (1997)
A film review by Steve Kong Copyright 1997 Steve Kong
The Jackal is the longest two hours I've spent in a theatre in recent memory. I'm not sure what to call this movie. It could be a thriller, but it doesn't thrill. It could be an action film, but there's not enough action.
The Jackal is an assassin that nobody can identify. As one FBI agent reports, they don't even know if The Jackal really exists. The movie follows two stories in parallel; one follows a group of good guys who are trying to protect a government official against The Jackal. On this team is the Deputy Director of the FBI, Carter Preston (Sidney Poitier), Major Valentina Koslova (Diane Venora), and an IRA sharpshooter Declan Mulqueen (Richard Gere). It is this story line is the one that is lacking and slows the movie to a grinding halt. The other story line follows The Jackal himself. This is the more interesting story line, and like in Heat, this story line made me cheer for the bad guy more than I did for the good guys. Bruce Willis seems to be having a great deal of fun portraying a bad guy. And though his character is the master of disguise, no matter what disguise Willis dons, he's still Bruce Willis. That's OK though, this part of the film was fun.
The Jackal, next to being a master of disguise, is a man of gadgets. He's a high-tech guy who uses the Internet to conduct illegal business, he uses a cell phone, and his high-tech weapon is remote controlled from his notebook.  I won't spoil it, but the character of The Jackal conflicted with itself.
Chuck Pfarrer (Hard Target) who scripted this version of the 1973 The Day of The Jackal builds up the story slowly and the pay-off is just not there. The script is too predictable. I sat through the film mentally predicted what would happen next, and not to my surprise, I was always right. The script also takes huge skips in logic and the pace of the film gives the audience too much time to find these skips of logic.
The action in the film, whatever there was, was flat and bland. The part that I loved and made me chuckle, though wasn't supposed to, was during an action sequence where Gere's Mulqueen is forced to hug a light post, he sure does grimace well. At least with Pfarrer's Hard Target script there was John Woo at the helm and the action was enough to pull that film out of the hole (it had two things going against it, one was the weak script and the second was Jean-Claude Van Damme). In The Jackal though Michael Canton-Jones is unable to find anyway of pulling this film out of the hole.
Not everything is bad; there are some good things about this film. First off, Willis is a joy to watch. Many people wonder why people -- like myself -- like this guy, I think it's just because he is fun to watch, especially during this film. The second thing I liked was the opening credits with its SE7EN-like title sequence and music. Poitier does a great job with his part and is the only person on the good guys' team that is likeable.
The Jackal is a slow moving predictable film that doesn't have the pay-off to have an audience wade through its two hours. Though Willis is very enjoyable, his story is only half of the film and the other half of the film you'll just be saying to yourself, "Get back to The Jackal, these guys are boring." Skip The Jackal, it's not worth the two hours spent in the theatre.

VERTIGO a film essay by Sean Lee
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Written by Alec Coppel and Samuel Taylor Scottie Fergeson: James Stewart Madeleine Elster and Judy Barton: Kim Novak Midge Wood: Barbara Bel Geddes
Evaluation: **** (out of ****)
We squirm nervously as we watch Scottie desperately try to re-create Madeleine through Judy in Hitchcock's Vertigo. There is something discomforting about the futility of trying to extract a dead lover from a stranger. While Scottie's actions can be interpreted as being necrophilic, our uneasiness with the sequence is a result of something less psychoanalytical - we empathize with Scottie's pain due to the fact that we also are no longer attracted to Judy. The reason for this is in itself disturbing. From the moment Hitchcock reveals to us that Judy is Madeleine, we realize that what captivated us, enchanted us, was the product of an actress who lives in a third-class hotel. We can no longer love Madeleine because we now know that she is poor and has even been `picked up before.' Hitchcock creates an important subplot in Vertigo, suggesting that love cannot transcend barriers of social strata. Though some viewers may find Judy to be a submissive character, easily yielding to Scottie's attempts to change her appearance, there is also strength inside her to remain true to her modest life. She does not run away from her drab furnishings and move in with Scottie, though she can. She does not reprise the role of Madeleine, with all the breathless charm and elegance, though she can. Instead, she wants Scottie to love her for who she is, and it becomes a futile and fatal effort. Because she is a good actor, Judy has ability to dictate the situation she is in and possibly even craft a happy ending if she was to completely subjugate herself to Scottie's desires. But she doesn't and with every return we make into her spartan apartment we a reminded of her poverty and the further we drift from our dream and image of Madeleine. Through Judy 's acting, or the lack of acting in the latter half of the movie, Hitchcock prompts us to look at how we see people and how we judge them by their superficies.
Aside from Scottie's project to mold Judy into Madeleine, Hitchcock also presents us with how Scottie treats Judy differently merely on the basis that she is not Madeleine. We are presented with two, parallel scenes – one at Ernie's and one at Scottie's apartment in which we can see that Judy is treated differently. When Scottie first sees Madeleine at Ernie's, she is dressed in a beautiful green dress that stands out from the colorless attire of other patrons. Scottie is captivated by her presence. While certainly part of this is to accentuate Madeleine's beauty and make her stand out from the crowd, it is interesting that when the two return to the restaurant later in the movie with Judy as herself, Judy once again is the only person who wears color. This time, however, Scotties attention turns to the Madeleine look alike dressed in gray. Hitchcock in both scenes have Judy/Madeleine as the only patrons that are dressed in color, which is symbolic of the fact that they are one and alike. By having Scottie's gaze turn towards the more affluent `Madeleine' even though the real Madeleine is sitting across from him at the table is our first clue that it may not only be hair color that is differentiating the two; that is, their different positions in the social strata supersedes Judy's inherent character.
In the other parallel scene, we see Scottie prompting Judy to sit down in front of his fireplace after convincing Judy to color her hair. This scene is a reflection of when Madeleine sits down in front of Scottie's fireplace to dry off after falling into the bay. The overt difference is that Scottie is far less interested in conversation with Judy than with Madeleine. What is disturbing is the fact that Scottie refuses to treat Judy with the same respect as Madeleine until she can be like her. Madeleine is invited in front of the fireplace, as Scottie offers her two cushions. However, as Judy, she is only offered one cushion, and seemingly as an afterthought at that. We are provoked by this discrepancy in Scottie's manner to question why Judy is only one cushion worthy. Because there is a seemingly intentional duplication of the scenes - both showing an insert shot of the cushions on the ground, the discrepancy in the cushion count is unlikely a simple anomaly. Rather, once again, Hitchcock subtly indicates the incongruity that the same character is treated, with the only difference between Madeleine and Judy being one of class.
It is important to examine not only how Judy acts but how she doesn't act. When Judy is Madeleine, she is thoroughly convincing as the rich man's wife. Not only does she act mysteriously, her technique – the manner in which she talks, walks, and gestures all authentically epitomize Madeleine's affluence. As Judy, however, she does not undertake this subterfuge. Examining Madeleine's speech at Scottie's apartment we see that she speaks in a breathless, seductive voice. Every phrase is met with a rise in her eyebrows and a pull of her chin. Even when not speaking, Madeleine's lips are always parted, as if perpetually awaiting a kiss. As a contrast, Judy's voice is far less indiscrete, or as Jay Gatsby would say, a voice `full of money.'  Why Hitchcock makes this contrast between Judy as Madeleine and Judy as herself is important as to how we see Judy's acting. It can be assumed that Judy never met the real Madeleine; though Gavin Elster may have provided Judy some cursory instructions on how to act as Madeleine, it should be accepted that Judy creates the character of Madeleine from her own schemata of how someone rich and beautiful such as Madeleine should act. Therefore, it is important to realize that while Judy is fully capable in transcending her humble stock to take on the role of Madeleine, she does not repossess the grace nor elegance of Madeleine as Judy. Because Hitchcock spends a great deal shooting at Judy's apartment rather than Scottie's, this combined with Judy's insistence to be her true self to Scottie becomes an important test for both Scottie and the audience. Do we treat people differently because of their social class? Judy's Madeleine is not a portrayal of the real Madeleine – it is the product of Judy's acting. Thus difference between the two is entirely superficial, yet Scottie can only be in love with the character Judy creates and not who she is. Judy's insistence to not act as Madeleine in the latter half of the movie becomes not only a testament to Judy's intrinsic strength, but Scottie's moral weakness.
Near the end of Vertigo, there is a scene where Judy is physically metamorphosed into Madeleine. Once again, it is made clear that though Judy may physically appear as Madeleine, the quivering of Judy's lips as she visibly strains for Scottie's approval gives her away as Judy. Coming out of the bathroom and before Judy walks towards Scottie, Judy stands for a moment in front of the green neon sign in front of her window. The shot of her in front of the green neon, part of Judy's hotel, is so powerful that it immerses Judy in its green light, giving Judy a very ethereal quality. Under the theme of affluence and class, one should examine the use of the color green in the movie. Hitchcock has said that green is the color of ghosts, and in such a sense our first shots of Madeleine and Judy both in green clothes may suugest the Judy – Madeleine duplicity. Along this line, one can easily see the richness of the scene in which Judy, doused in a green neon flame not only literally appears like a ghost, but also alludes to the fact that Madeleine, who Judy is now dressed like, is also a ghost. Though this is the intent of the scene on one level, the color green also possesses a second meaning. Green is also a color of wealth and prosperity. The green Jaguar that Madeleine drives is an explicit example; British green has long been a color associated exclusively with luxury automobiles. Even today, we find green a prevalent choice in expensive automobiles while not on subcompacts. Though perhaps a bit trite, green is the color of money, and subsequently, the color of our desires. In Vertigo, however, green can also serve as reminder of the absence of fortune. Unlike Gatsby's yearning for the green light at Daisy's dock, Judy's green light is one that reads `Empire Hotel.' This neon, which silhouettes Judy in one scene and engulfs her in another serves as a garish reminder that this is no longer the Judy that drives a Jaguar; this is the Judy that lives in a third-class hotel. By having Judy separated from Scottie by the vulgar green neon, we see that it is the wealth absent in Judy that ultimately alienates Scottie from her; the constant reminder of Judy's poverty is powerful enough to overcome her appearance as Madeleine.
If Judy's struggle for identity is characterized by her unwillingness to reprise her role of Madeleine, then it is very possible in the scene that follows the orgasmic physical metamorphosis Judy plays out a final, desperate act. One should recall that Judy had originally intended to divulge Elster's plan; however, Judy tears the confessional not to protect Gavin, but as an attempt to make Scottie fall in love with herself, not Madeleine. But things go awry and Judy sees that Scottie is obsessed with Madeleine. For someone who so close came to a disclosure earlier, wouldn't as an act of desperation, would Judy feel inclined to confess herself as Madeleine? I believe she does in the scene when she puts on Carlotta's necklace. Though it may seem her decision to put on the necklace that night was a grand slip on Judy's part, I would suggest it is her final performance as an actress – a desperate move to tell Scottie that she was Madeleine. Though she acts as though putting on the necklace is a casual affair, this is the first time we see Judy wearing a black dress. The necklace, then, even without Hitchcock's insert shot, would become the centerpiece of her ensemble. Furthermore, Judy prompts Scottie to clasp Carlotta's necklace for her, drawing more attention to the jewelry. As Scottie works the clasp from behind Judy, she faces towards the mirror, almost inviting attention to the necklace. Finally, when Scottie asks, `How do you work this thing?' Judy responds, `Can't you see?' Judy's line, though on the surface directed at the logistics of the clasp, is at the same time Judy's confession of her crime and a revelation of her identity. `Can't you see that I'm wearing Carlotta's necklace?' `Can't you see that I am Madeleine?' It would be too irresponsible if Judy pulled out her most expensive piece of jewelry without remembering its significance. Rather, in her last heartfelt acting job, she shows Scottie what he wants to see in hopes that he can finally love her for being Judy. Sadly, her hopes for a silent reconciliation are met with Scottie's contempt, for he is now faced to confront the fact that Judy will never play the role of Madeleine again.
humble girl is given the role of a lifetime in Vertigo. Like a starlet who peaks too soon, Judy becomes haunted by her single, solitary role. In her decision not to recapitulate her role as Madeleine, she becomes unable to transcend her tawdry life to become the affluent ghost Scottie is in love with. Hitchcock poses an important question for the audience of Vertigo – Why can't we fall in love with the same woman? It would seem the fact that Judy is Madeleine would draw us closer to her, yet ironically, our knowledge of her humble stock seems to extinguish our desire for her altogether. For what is the inherent difference between Madeleine and Judy? Though both characters are played by the same woman, the division between Madeleine and Judy is one of social status. In Vertigo, as we frustratingly watch Judy refuse to become Madeleine, Hitchcock prompts us to confront our own fixations with superficiality and status.

International Men’s Day: 6 celebs who’ve helped redefine masculinity in 2019
It’s International Men’s Day, 2019. A day to discuss important male issues – male mental health, damaging male stereotypes, the alarmingly high rate of male suicide – it’s also a day to celebrate the people doing so all year round.
These public figures are changing the conversation around masculinity, and redefining the phrase ‘man up’…
1.  No openly gay player has ever appeared in the English Premier League, nor for any team in the Rugby Six Nations. It doesn’t take a genius to realise that, statistically, that doesn’t add up.
So, when Welsh rugby legend Gareth Thomas, the 13th highest international try scorer of all time, and a former captain of the British and Irish Lions, announced that he was gay in 2009, it was a pretty seismic move.
In 2018, he was the victim of a homophobic attack in the street, and then came out as HIV positive earlier this year. He’s since campaigned tirelessly to open a dialogue, and break down stigma surrounding the condition.
2. Timothee Chalamet for wearing feminine fabrics in a masculine way
2019 has been a breakout year for gender-fluid fashion, and this emerging American superstar is on the crest of the wave.
The young actor has cheekbones for miles, and complements them with a wide wardrobe of designer outfits from across the sartorial spectrum. Consider the silver, cowl-necked blouse he wore to the premier of The King, the glitter-coated hoodie that stole the London Film Festival, and the patterned suits… be still my beating heart, the patterned suits.
Honourable mentions must also go to Billy Porter’s red carpet dresses, and Harry Styles rocking the Met Gala with black lace.
3. Christopher Eccleston for talking about male eating disorders
The word ‘brave’ gets thrown around a lot, particularly when it comes to celebrity revelation, but the contents of Christopher Eccleston’s autobiography were brave, moving, and borderline heroic.
The former Doctor Who frontman tackled his long-standing anorexia, his history of anti-depressants, and a severely complex relationship with his father, while candidly articulating the barriers of traditional ‘maleness’.
It was the first time he’d publicly discussed his struggles. “I always thought of it as a filthy secret, because I’m Northern, because I’m male, because I’m working class.”
4. Sam Smith for being non-binary
It’s commonly claimed that we care too much what celebrities think and say, but Smith’s announcement that they were non-binary, and would henceforth use the pronouns ‘they/them’, proved just how powerful such pronouncements can be.
The result was an up-swell of hope within the community, coverage in the international media, and recognition of ‘non-binary’ by Collins Dictionary. “I understand there will be many mistakes,” said Smith, “but all I ask is you please, please try. I hope you can see me like I see myself now.”
Sam Smith isn’t big on conventional definitions of masculinity. In fact, they’re quite happy to discard them altogether.
5.  The victorious coach on The Voice, People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2019, and husband to the unquestionable Queen of Twitter, you could be forgiven for getting a little tired of his relentlessly wholesome success.
Unfortunately, he just won’t stop being the very model of a modern man. He was the only major recording artist brave enough to give testimony in the devastating documentary Surviving R Kelly, campaigns relentlessly against poverty and sexual violence, and tweets more about his family than his career.
Hooray for John Legend. Again.
6. Professor Green for vocalising male mental health issues in a tough world
The cut and thrust of the rap world has not traditionally allowed much space for vulnerability, which makes Professor Green’s willingness to discuss his own mental health all the more powerful and impressive.
A patron of anti-suicide charity CALM, and former presenter of the BBC Three series Suicide And Me, the rapper and songwriter never fails to tackle topics head-on. “There is strength in admitting being vulnerable,” he said at a talk earlier this year, “because as soon as you’re honest about how you feel, you can deal with it.”
When Pro Green talks, people listen.

Note for Beginners
A while ago, I mistakenly Formatted my disk-drive confusing it for a USB drive, the Drive contained all of my personal information (pictures, documents, eBooks and school stuff).
And this was not the first time that happened by accident.
The main problem is I manoeuvre around my computer rather FAST,
and most times I don't get the time to think before I Click Yes/DO the REAL FORMAT!!!

 Type mcbuilder.exe –rebuild, Enter and Exit
12. Reboot PC
13. Then viola Format… option from context-menu GONE.
14. When you want to format you will have to do it under command prompt.

This project was inspired by a Politico article titled How the baby boomers broke America, which suggested that the Baby Boomer generation has had a stronghold on American politics for the past three decades. In the article, Ben White points to the streak of Baby Boomer presidents and the current list of Boomers who are leading in the polls for the Democratic candidacy (Biden, Warren, Sanders) as evidence of this. He then goes on to cherry-pick a collection of other Baby Boomers who have had an impact during this time period, such as John Boehner and Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich is arguably from the Silent Generation (born in 1943), but that's a fuzzy point since I learned during this research that not everyone agrees on the date range of each generation.
While I can't argue with the observation that the recent string of Presidents have all been Baby Boomers, I was left wondering how much of Congress is currently made up by that generation and how that's changed over time. What I found was largely what you might guess - a gradual series of waves as each generation comes of age and replaces the previous generations' seats. Another pretty obvious finding was that each generation starts it's congressional wave in the House of Representatives before starting to move into the Senate. This effect is amplified with Generation X, which leaves me wondering if the minimum age that our electorate considers old enough for Congress has gradually lowered. Elise Stefanik and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of course come to mind as younger Representatives, but from skimming Wikipedia I'm not sure that they are outliers (more research for another day).
Coming back around to the article, I was left feeling like the author exagerated a bit by saying that Boomers have had a "three-decade run dominating American political life". His points fit nicely around the linked podcast episode but I don't think they entirely hold up when looking at the data. Three decades ago was 1990, which is also the year that the Silent Generation reached it's peak at 62% in the House of Representatives. The Baby Boomers' share of the House was growing at that point but didn't become the majority generation in the House until 1999. Since then they have maintained more than 50% of the House, and now their numbers are starting to level off. In the Senate their impact was even more delayed - the Silent Generation held power there for almost 30 years until the Boomers gained the majority in late 2007. All of this is not to say that Baby Boomers had no impact in Congress during the 90's as their ranks were certainly growing during this time period, but I think it's more appropriate to factor in the impact of the Greatest Generation, the Silent Generation, and the Baby Boomers when considering the policies of the past 30 years.
White's article was thought provoking and made some decent points, but I'm not sure that it's realistic to imagine any generation with a stronghold over Congress during any given slice of time. Each generation is impacted by the one before it and impacts the one after it. Congress is always a mix of newcomers, career politicians, and those who are on their way out the door. Generations are not consistent blocks but instead are somewhat arbitrary in their ranges (18 years for the Boomers vs. 15 for Millenials). I think it will be interesting to watch these graphs evolve over time, but in the end I don't think that comparing the history of policy based solely on this data point is a particularly helpful lense.
A note on the charts: Generational labels don't really exist before the Lost Generation started in 1883, so I've left all previous Congress member off the charts. This makes it look like Congress didn't exist until the early 1900's, but that's obviously not the case.
The data for each Congress member's date of birth came from the amazing @unitedstates project. This project would have been monumentally more difficult without that data.

The CII distributions are numbered X.Y where X is the major release number and Y is the minor release number. Starting with major release 1, minor releases fix bugs and perhaps make improvements, but do not change interfaces. The interfaces and the compiled library are compatible with earlier and later minor releases; for example, a program compiled with the 1.3 release is compatible with release 1.8 and vice versa. Major releases occur when one or more interfaces are changed or extended, or when new interfaces are added.
It's usually best to follow a similar naming scheme when installing CII so that
programs compiled with one major release can be recompiled even after a subsequent major
release has been installed. The minor release number can be omitted. On UNIX, for example,
this convention can be accomplished by installing the interfaces in, say, /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/include
,
where X is the major release number, and installing the library, libcii.a
,
in /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/libcii.a
.
At UNIX sites with multiple platforms (architectures and OSes) and a single /usr/local
hierarchy, the library can be installed in a platform-specific location below /usr/local/cii/
X,
e.g., /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/alpha-osf/libcii.a
. The
interfaces are machine independent and thus don't need platform-specific locations.
Similar conventions can be used on Windows 95/NT.
Following this scheme permits the actual installation locations to be confined to
specifying prefixes, like /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/include
and /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/
, in makefiles; programs can
include interfaces by giving just the names of their header files.
On UNIX systems, it's also useful to plant release-independent symbol link to the
latest CII release, e.g., make /usr/local/include/cii
point to /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/include
and /usr/local/lib/libcii.a
point to /usr/local/lib/cii/
X/libcii.a
.
NB: If you use several compilers, you may need compiler-specific
variants of libcii.a
, and thus use platform names that denote a specific
architecture, OS, and compiler. For example, the Text interface uses
small structures and passes them by value, and, on some platforms, one C compiler might
generate code for src/text.c
that is incompatible with another compiler. This
problem is not specific to CII; it can occur with any library.
The installation makefile is designed so that CII can be installed from a read-only file system or directory, which is common in networked environments, so the distribution can be unloaded on a central file server. If you're installing CII on a UNIX system, continue with the next section. If you're installing CII on a Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95 system, read the next section first, then follow the Windows NT/95 instructions.
The CII components (include files and the library) are installed in a single build
directory. On multi-platform systems supported by a central file server, it's common
to store the build directory in a location specific to the platform and to the version of
CII, as suggested above. For example, installation on a UNIX system involves the following
steps. Below, the build directory is referred to as BUILDDIR
, and the
commands shown assume the distribution directory is the current working directory.
If you want to build in the distribution directory, leave BUILDDIR
undefined and start at step 3.
BUILDDIR
environment variable:% setenv BUILDDIR /usr/local/lib/cii/1/alpha-osf/ % mkdir -p $BUILDDIR
The trailing slash is required, because BUILDDIR
is concatenated
with file names in the makefile
, e.g., $(BUILDDIR)atom$O
.
Here and below, commands assume the C shell. Also, you'll need a version of mkdir
that supports the -p
option, which creates intermediate directories as
necessary, or create them with individual mkdir
commands.
% mkdir ${BUILDDIR}include % cp -p include/*.h ${BUILDDIR}include
Some users create a symbolic link to the include directory in the distribution instead
of making repeated copies of the include files. For example, at Princeton, the
distributions are stored under /proj/pkg/cii
, so the include files are
"installed" by creating one symbolic link:
% ln -s /proj/pkg/cii/1.1/include ${BUILDDIR}include
ALPHA OSF/1 V3.2A % make CC='cc -std1 -Dalpha' AS='as -Dalpha'
MIPS IRIX 6.2 % make
MIPS Ultrix 4.3 % gmake CC=gcc LD=gcc
SPARC SunOS 5.5.1 (Solaris) % make -k CC='cc -DMAXALIGN=8' THREADS=
X86_32 Linux % make CC='cc -DMAXALIGN=4' AS='cc -c -x assembler-with-cpp -traditional'
X86_64 Linux, Apple Intel Mac OS X 10.5.x % make -k THREADS=
This command builds, in BUILDDIR
, libcii.a
, memchk.o
,
and the examples. There may be some warnings on some platforms. The assignment THREADS=
appears on those platforms for which there is no Thread implementation. On these
platforms, examples that use Thread won't link correctly, so use the -k
option cause make to keep going.
On most platforms, malloc
returns pointers to
blocks that are aligned on addresses that are multiples of the size of the largest basic
data type. Some CII functions use a union to determine this multiple (cf. union
align
on p. 80). Alignments are less restrictive on some platforms and, for these, MAXALIGN
must be defined as the alignment required as shown above. maxalign.c
is a C program that attempts to determine the correct value for MAXALIGN
, if
one is necessary, and echo the appropriate -D
option. The
method used relies on the C compiler using the same alignments as malloc
,
which is not required. malloc
is the final authority: If it returns addresses
that are multiples of sizeof
(union
align)
,
then MAXALIGN
is unnecessary; otherwise, MAXALIGN
must provide
the alignment.
So, maxalign.c
calls malloc(1)
to determine if the address it returns
has an alignment less strict than that used by the C compiler.
The command make maxalign
compiles and executes maxalign.c
; the output shows the appropriate -D
option,
if one is needed.
Incorrect values of MAXALIGN
can cause crashes and assertion
failures.
src/{memcmp,memmove,strncmp}.c
are implementations of the similarly named
ANSI library functions. These are included in the distribution because some of them are
implemented incorrectly on some UNIX platforms. The corresponding object files are
assigned to EXTRAS
; if some of these functions are implemented correctly on
your system, you can omit the CII versions by either editing libcii.a
, or
including the appropriate assignment to EXTRAS
, e.g.,
% make EXTRAS=${BUILDDIR}memcmp.o
makefile
includes the file named by the CUSTOM
macro; the default is custom.mk
, and an empty custom.mk
is
included in the distribution. If desired, prepare a site-specific customization file and
define CUSTOM
to the path of that file when invoking make in the previous
step. For example, on the ALPHA, I use osf.mk
:% cat osf.mk BUILDDIR=/usr/local/lib/cii/1/alpha-osf/ CC=cc -std1 -Dalpha AS=as -Dalpha % make CUSTOM=osf.mk
% ${BUILDDIR}wf <makefile % ${BUILDDIR}cref src/fmt.c src/str.c
and then clean up:
% make clean
This command removes everything except include
and libcii.a
.
If you want to leave memchk.o
installed, rebuild it, e.g.,
% make ${BUILDDIR}memchk.o
memchk.c
uses MAXALIGN
, so if you defined MAXALIGN
when building libcii.a
, include it when rebuilding memchk.o
,
e.g.,
% make CC='cc -DMAXALIGN=8' ${BUILDDIR}memchk.o
make clobber
removes everything from BUILDDIR
.
% ln -s ${BUILDDIR}include /usr/local/include/cii % ln -s ${BUILDDIR}libcii.a /usr/local/lib/libcii.a
On Windows NT or Windows 95, you can use a directory organization similar to the one
described above for UNIX as follows. The commands below assume the distribution is rooted
at C:\dist
and that the C compiler is Microsoft Visual C/C++ 5.0.
BUILDDIR
:C:\dist>set BUILDDIR=\lib\cii\1 C:\dist>mkdir %BUILDDIR%
Change the assignment to BUILDDIR
to suit your local conventions.
On Windows, BUILDDIR
must not include the trailing backslash.
C:\dist>mkdir %BUILDDIR%\include C:\dist>copy include\*.h %BUILDDIR%\include
nmake
:C:\dist>nmake -f makefile.nt BUILDDIR=%BUILDDIR%
This command builds, in BUILDDIR
, libcii.lib
, libcii.pdb
,
memchk.obj
, and the examples. The default BUILDDIR
is \lib\cii\1
,
so the assignment to BUILDDIR
above can be omitted if you use this default.
C:\dist>%BUILDDIR%\wf <makefile C:\dist>%BUILDDIR%\sieve
and then clean up:
C:\dist>nmake -f makefile.nt BUILDDIR=%BUILDDIR% clean
This command removes everything except include
, libcii.a
, and
libcii.pdb
. If you want to leave memchk.obj
installed, rebuild
it, e.g.,
C:\dist>nmake -f makefile.nt BUILDDIR=%BUILDDIR% %BUILDDIR%\memchk.obj
make clobber
removes everything from BUILDDIR
src\libcii.def
is a module definition file for the CII library. To create a
DLL instead of a statically linked library, execute C:\dist>nmake -f makefile.nt BUILDDIR=%BUILDDIR% libcii.dll
This command creates %BUILDDIR%\libcii.dll
, overwrites %BUILDDIR%\libcii.lib
with the import library, and creates the export library %BUILDDIR%\libcii.exp
.
If you use libcii.dll
, you'll need to move it to a directory on your PATH
.
Some users copy the include and library files into their Visual C/C++ 5.0 distribution, e.g.,
C:\dist>mkdir "\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\include\cii" C:\dist>copy include\*.h "\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\include\cii" C:\dist>copy %BUILDDIR%\libcii.* "\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\lib"
Devise the shortest possible example program that elicits the bug. Prune your example until it can be pruned no more without sending the error into hiding. I prune most error demonstrations to only a few lines. Annotate your example with C comments that describe the bug and your suggested fix, if you have one. If the example crashes, please report the last part of the call chain if you can.
Send your example by electronic mail to me (see below). Please send only valid C programs; put all remarks in C comments so that I can process reports semi-automatically.

Sensor Components
Sensor components are used to detect objects in a certain area and inform other game code about them. Contrary to triggers, they use the spatial system, so they work even without a physics engine. However, the sensor component can utilize additional physics raycasts, to determine whether something inside the volume is also visible and not occluded by walls.
Sensor components are meant for AI use cases, such as determining line of sight, hearing noises or even smelling odors.
Generally the sensors query the spatial system to detect certain objects. Use the marker component to make something detectable. For example, to make a creature able to smell the player, regularly drop markers at the player's current location, that vanish after a while, so that the creature can detect and follow these markers.
State Reporting
Sensors keep track of the objects that entered their volume. During every update they determine whether objects are still inside the volume or whether their visibility changed (line-of-sight occluded).
If anything changes, a sensor sends the message ezMsgSensorDetectedObjectsChanged
, which contains the full array of currently detected objects.
Performance Considerations
Sensor components poll the world in regular intervals and thus incur a performance cost. The UpdateRate
determines how often this polling happens. Internally updates from many sensors are automatically distributed evenly across frames, to prevent performance spikes at regular intervals.
Still, it is best to reduce the update rate as much as possible. For example in a game with large levels, you should check how close the player is to an NPC and dynamically adjust the update rate. At a large distance, the sensor can be set to update only every second, or you could even deactivate the sensor entirely. Similarly, you can use the 'alterness' state of an NPC to increase or decrease the sensor update rate.
Finally, you should decide whether doing a visibility check is always necessary. The sensor would do this check for every possible target at every update. However, for a lot of game logic, once something has attracted attention, further visibility checks are not necessary. In such a case, it can be more efficient to do visibility raycasts only while a creature is not yet alert.
Component Properties
Shared Component Properties
UpdateRate
: How often the sensor component should query the world for changes. The higher the update rate, the more responsive it will be, and the less likely that short events are missed. However, higher update rates also require more processing time.SpatialCategory
: The spatial category of objects that should trigger the sensor component.TestVisibility
: If enabled, the sensor will cast additional rays using the physics engine, to determine whether the target is occluded by walls or clearly visible.CollisionLayer
: The collision layer to use for the visibility raycast.ShowDebugInfo
: If enabled, additional debug geometry is rendered to visualize the sensor volume and state.Color
: This color is used for the debug visualization. Can be used to easily distinguish what type of sensor this is.
Sphere Sensor Component
Radius
: The size of the sensor sphere.
Cylinder Sensor Component
Radius
,Height
: The dimensions of the sensor cylinder.
Cone Sensor Component
NearDistance
,FarDistance
,Angle
: These all define the cone volume. Note that the cone not only has an angle and a length (FarDistance) but also a NearDistance. EnableShowDebugInfo
to see the exact cone shape. The near distance allows to ignore things that are up close, or to have that range covered by another sensor shape.

I am developing a "RosiStudio" to verify some of the language experiments I am doing. It can not be called IDE since its current purpose is to support the language development, rather than actual application development. At the moment it is terrible, parses on keysstroke and on a page of code may spend 3 sec. to update (most of which spend on higlighting rather than actual compilation).
Yet it will soon be able to generate HTML code snippets with highlighting for this site... :) Also when a true compiler rolls on it will be of great help to push forward the language implementation.


Cruisers report that security in Tierra del Fuego is just simply not an issue. Many never lock their boats and dinghys with outboards can be left at the jetty without any problems.
Opportunistic street crime however can be a problem in towns and cities, and in areas popular with tourists.
Nationwide protests often take place on 11 September (anniversary of the military coup) and 1 May (Workers’ Day). They can become violent. The largest protests usually take place in central Santiago.
October to April are the warmer summer months, while May to October is colder. The Chilean climate varies considerably according to latitude, being dry and hot in the north, wet and windy in the south. The coastal areas are cooled by the cold Humboldt current. In the south, the most settled weather is between December and March, which is dominated by westerly winds. In this area, northerly winds usually bring rain and poor visibility, while southerlies are accompanied by clear skies.

Unapologetically Misunderstood
Michelle Angelo’s captivating novel, Unapologetically Misunderstood, grasps the reader with a drama-filled plot.
Being a successful entrepreneur and owner of a freelance design company, Jonae has the world at the palm of her hands. After a family secret gets revealed, Jonae begins battling demons. From old childhood memories, to a relationship entanglement and beyond, she quickly begins losing control of every aspect of her life.
Unapologetically Misunderstood, is a steamy, fast-paced novel told by a cast of characters that will keep you on your toes from beginning to end. These characters are left to decide if they will surrender to their lustful cravings, make a complete break away from the life they have come to know, or boss up and be the people they have worked so hard to become.

My gosh..potholes EVERYWHERE! So much so we had to watch the barracades more then the scenery. The one most alluring exit..hanging lake was too full to park. Plus because of the road work...once you exit some of these places, you can't get back on east bound to continue your journey. But it’s happening y’all, say goodbye to expensive car repairs.

These overgrown trees and laurel bushes are approx. 20 feet high and should be no more than 5 feet. The whole street is covered in leaves constantly and the overhang is completely covering the kerbs, hindering visibility and making it dangerous to drive down the street. Thankfully after seeing my issue, the city is sending people to help!

There is some ongoing road work right in front of the hotel. Work seems to go on All day/ night (except Sunday). So the noise was pretty bad at some point. They’re finally working on that patch of road where a couple people blew their tires.

Our Mission:
We wanted to make a game that teaches people where to put their waste. Many people, if they don't know where to throw things away, will just throw it in the trash, instead of recycling or composting.
Instructions:
To play, simply sort the trash into the right bins. If you're not sure where to sort things in real life or in the game, simply check the trash-dex.
If you have any questions, please visit our support page.
ENJOY!
