Version1.3
A significant and meaningful near repeat victimization pattern found!
After an incident, there is evidence of an over-representation
of events in the local area for a certain amount of time. There may be crime prevention value in addressing this pattern. Details:
Within 1 to 200 meters of an initial incident, near repeats are overrepresented for up to 7 days.
The following tables provide detailed findings.
This color indicates that the statistical probability is at the best possible level for your chosen number of iterations (p=0.01).
This color indicates that the statistical probability is at least p=0.05 or better.

Jollof rice is found throughout West Africa and is thought to be the origin of the Cajun dish, jambalaya. Serve with fried plantains and a crisp green salad.
For the rice, heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onions over a gentle heat until translucent.
Stir in the canned tomatoes, red pepper and tomato purée, then season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and the cayenne or chilli. Add the curry powder, bay leaf and thyme, then pour in 550ml/19fl oz of water and crumble in the stock cube.
Cover and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20–30 minutes.
Rinse the rice well to remove excess starch, then add it to the tomato mixture.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.
Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper and serve the joffol with fried plantains and a crisp green salad.


This would have been my fourth experience with salvia.
I was over at my friend Rachel's house, in her room which is so colorful and full of miscellaneous lights, trip toys, and stuffed animals so as to be terrifying even to your average sober person. We were chilling out and listening to music like we usually do when she tempted me with the prospect of smoking the rest of the 5x salvia extract I had given to her for safekeeping/personal use. I said alright, and then proceeded to pack her small monkeypipe with the stuff. I went into her bathroom and told her not to bother me for at least a half-hour; my intention was to take more than one hit (i can never get past the first before I totally lose control), and so, in the dark, with my legs braced against one side of her bathroom and my back against the door, I took one deep inhalation of the familiarly musty and slightly sweet green smoke that is salvia.
The effects began almost immediately, I started to feel every molecule in my body vibrate, pound, and twist furiously, and disperse themselves among every object that I was in contact with. Anything that had previously connected me with reality was so far away it did not matter. I vaguely knew that I still had the pipe in my hand, and the lighter in the other, but the physical sensation of twisting, buzzing, and crawling was so intense that I could not move. I heard Rachel pounding on the door, she said something (I later learned that she asked if she could come in), which annoyed me very badly, as anyone familiar with Salvia is able to understand, nonetheless, I apparently said yes to her.
And with that, Rachel opened the door. I am immediately asssaulted by the bright colors and terrifying visuals of rachel's room, unable to manage normal motor functions competently, I collapse onto her bed. As I lay there, trying to take in the room, small bits and pieces of it seem to filter through my perception: a piece of that tye-dyed sheet, the vague bass loop of that prodigy record, that light bulb somewhere, the pulsating light on the floor, all begin to swirl together to form thousands upon thousands of tiny, glowing plant people on the walls in full orgy; the mighty, chanting voices of spirits in my head.
'I have to get out of here!' I think to myself. I run down the hallway, chased by long, glowing plant tendrils, until I finally reach the end, where I find something far more terrifying: a mirror. Looking through that mirror, I heard the voice of the green lady herself, telling me that she does not feel that I am ready yet, but that in her mercy, she will allow me to experience the wonderful things she has to show me.
At this point I chilled out some, and so I sat on the couch in the living room which is filled with native american artifacts and paraphernalia, then I decided to get a peach to eat from the kitchen. Eating under the influence of Salvia is not at all pleasant as the food seems to make my mouth vibrate and my teeth itch.
While I sat there in the Kitchen, with Rachel's mother on the other side cooking, I closed my eyes, and could see myself walking down this pathway in a forest somewhere. Where could this lead, I wondered, and I kept walking. But then Rachels mother, who was entirely aware of what I'd been smoking, started talking to me, and asking me questions about my father, who is an alcoholic. I kept on telling her (and myself) that it was of minimal importance, but she persisted in asking about his condition. So the trip tapered off gradually, and to this day I still wonder what it was that the green lady wanted to show me at the end of that path.

How To Get Rid Of Wrinkles
If you think that only women are concerned about wrinkles, think again because men also experience this problem as they age. Fortunately, there are things we can do ourselves to remove wrinkles.
For those who smoke, stop immediately. Studies have shown that this triggers premature aging, or what is better known as photoaging, which is why a person in their 30s looks like someone in their fifties.
Excessive sun exposure causes wrinkles. You can avoid this by staying indoors between 10 a.m. If you need to go outside, make sure you have sunscreen that protects you from UV-A and B rays. If you drink, you should also stop this habit, as alcohol causes severe dehydration as well as health problems.
When the body does not have enough water, the skin becomes thinner and sagger. The only solution, of course, will be to drink plenty of fluids. Ideally, this should be 8 glasses of water a day, as this plays a key role in maintaining a healthy complexion.
In addition to water, you must also maintain a proper diet. Here you should include 5 servings of vegetables and one serving of fruit in our daily meals. Some examples of antioxidants are asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cantaloupe, guava, papaya, and pineapple.
Other things that can be used are olive oil, nuts, and whole grains. Since we also need protein and meat, add fish to your diet, as it contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are best grilled or baked.
Don’t forget to take nutritional supplements to supplement your diet. These should provide you with at least adequate amounts of vitamins A, B, C, and E, as they protect us from free radicals.
For some, the presence of wrinkles is already there. In that case, all you have to do now is find ways to remove it. To do this, you must rely on creams and other procedures that a dermatologist can perform. Some examples of this are chemical peels, laser surgery, and injections.
Some of these procedures have short-term effects, while others have more costly long-term effects. All you need to do is be examined by a specialist to find out which one is right for your condition and which, of course, is within your budget.
You should only use mild soaps to remove wrinkles. This is because harsh soaps do the opposite, they only make the skin less healthy and more prone to wrinkles by destroying the upper layers of the skin and allowing oil to seep out of the skin layers underneath. If you ignore this warning, you will be sorry for the amount and depth of these wrinkles.
Getting rid of wrinkles is challenging, especially when they are already on your face and body.  If money is not an issue, take a test drive.
We all have a different way of approaching this problem and budget is our limit. We just have to use all available resources to make it disappear.

// Counter Strike: Global Offensive StatTrak Display //
13:05 2014-11-21
New project!
This project is not included in the project book, but the idea is simple:
Have a number counter that can be manipulated using a button, and output that number to a LCD. I also wanted another button that switches display mode. For example, one mode would be to display a static number count, another mode would flash through different messages.
I think this project would be more of a challenging task at the beginning since I just done the LED projects. Doing stuff with a LCD is a huge leap.
13:21 2014-11-21
I followed the tutorial on Arduino's official website on how to wire up an LCD. The wiring itself was pretty straight forward, but slightly more confusing than ordinary LEDs. Single coloured LEDs have two pins they needed to be connected to, one is power, the other is ground. However, on the LCD, it's not as simple.
On a LCD, like anything, it needs two pins that connect to power and ground. But an additional set of the power and ground pins is required if I want it to be backlit. I can add a potentiometer where the back-light connection is so that I can control the brightness. A display contrast pin from the LCD is required to connect to power. Without it, the crystals in the screen will not rotate, therefore will not produce an image. Adding a potentiometer would change the contrast. For the pins that require more understanding of computer hardware: There is the RS (register select) pin that controls where in the LCD's memory the data is writing to. There is the R/W (pin) which selects whether if the LCD is in read mode or write mode. And finally, there is E (enable) pin that enables writing to the registers. I don't exactly know how to do cool stuff with these pins, they are essential to make the LCD work, so I'm not going to mess with them. Just connect these pins in the right place and it'll be fine.
Finally, we have the data pins on the LCD. There are 8 data pins, but minimum of only 4 is required to make the LCD display something.
Image source from Arduino.cc, generated using Fritzing13:56 2014-11-21
Wow! It's finally finished!
I added two buttons, unlike the bread-board diagram above. One button is to increase the counter and the other is to switch modes. Aside from buttons, other differences also include the removal of the potentiometer because I don't feel like the need of it since the screen is always the 100% contrast.
18:12 2014-11-21
At this moment, I never feel like following through a tutorial series one by one and
completing all of them. What I am doing and what I want to do is projects that are interesting,
fun, challenging, and different for me. When I run into difficulties, that's when I look up tutorials.
I will try to come up with different and challenging parts that require different materials every time,
that way I am always learning how to construct using new parts or program using new libraries...
For my next project I'll probably do something involves light / photo input using photoresistors

Introducing DogDeploy.com!
After years of blogging about PowerShell, ConfigMgr and Automation, I decided to give it all up and now focus the blog solely on my new love, Dogs.
This was hilarious! The auto-awesome photo from Google Photos now has a mode where it zooms in on a subject in a photo! Well, this time it made Bernie gigantic in this photo! This is basically how it feels to live with him, he's growing visibly over the course of the day!
It's impossible for us both to have our eyes open at the same time! He is maybe getting a little bit bigger.

Gannett Digital is leading the way with Virtual Reality (VR) storytelling. I was tasked with acting as a Co-Project Manager (asset-side), video editor, 3d implementation using the provided Unity3d template (from the Gannett Digital team), and finally the Interaction/Visual Designer for the Derby360 Celebration experience web content.
See the live project!The Courier-Journal was asked to be an example of the VR storytelling experience with an extensive coverage of the Kentucky Derby with the new VR techniques.
Additional challenges arose when accelerated timelines and additional workloads were introduced as we were asked to produce around 4x the content with a launch date an entire week earlier than we had originally planned.
I knew organization would be key to completing this project on time, so I created a filesystem organization, naming convention system, and created an asset architecture checklest that I posted in a public area that allowed my other Co-Project Manager to reference to see which 360 degree footage or other assets we currently had or still needed.
The next step in the production process was to take the 360 degree footage shot from the various photographers, organize the source footage, and edit the videos for length in Adobe Premiere. Special consideration was taken when editing the footage due to the very nature that the footage could potentially be viewed in 360 degrees.
Next in the process I took the exported videos and built the interactive VR (both Oculus Rift and desktop versions) using the supplied Unity3d template.
We needed branding for our VR experience for inside of the VR experience as well as the web landing page. I initially started off with sketching various logotype ideas and then refined using Adobe Illustrator.
Inside of After Effects I produced an intro video describing what viewers would find within our Derby 360 coverage.
See the video in the live project!
I designed the landing page for the Derby360 Celebration to be responsive across all platforms, utilize a visually striking Kentucky Derby related image, and be simplistic in directing users to download a version of the VR experience that would be appropriate for them (based on their operating system and whether or not they had the Oculus Rift).
No exception to my usual process, I began designing as a sketch and then refined to a high fidelity (hi-fi) mockup in Photoshop. The landing page was coded by our developer based on the hi-fi mockup.
After our launch we had approximately twenty (20) VR project downloads. Overall that number is a little disappointing, but being on the forefront of this storytelling technique is still incredibly exciting!

Hello guys so in this article I have listed down the websites which are very useful in general and many of
us don’t know about them in general. With the growing technology and the development around the world ,the
web engineers around the world have taken our websites to a whole new level. We can literally find websites
to code on and save our projects online and not only this whatever we need to do from video editing to photo
editing or anything we need is now available on the web form on the internet and that is itself both useful
and exciting.
Here I have listed 7 powerful and amazing websites that may help you and will save time for you. All
of this article has been sincerely written by me keeping in mind that

the site is itself the direct link.
This is really a very powerful website and it may be very helpful to you if you have buyed a new computer or
laptop. When any of us buy a new laptop or computer its difficult for us to remember what apps do we need to
install and not only this ,we need to visit n number of sites for installing n number of different apps
which is obviously annoying as when we should be busy exploring the features of our new laptop or computer
we are busy making all the installations. So for removing this difficulty from your life we have this site
,here we have a list of all the basic applications or softwares which we need at the time of installation
from all the categories like Web Browsing,Documents,Meets,Online storage,media and also development tools.
All we gotta do is just tick the check boxes and click on Get Your Ninite this will download a file to your
system and you just need to install the file normally as you install any other application and voila all
your selected apps are now installed on your system and ready to get used.

Next on our list is Hotpot.ai .This wonderful website can definitely be useful from time to time as we all
have a time in our life where we really wish we could restore the photos of our grandparents when they were
our age, sounds cool right. So our next website focuses on this, in this website we can restore the old
balck and white photos to coloured ones without making any efforts and just with a few clicks. All we gotta
do is open the website and then go to Restore old Pictures and this will remove all the scratches and
damages to the photograph that happened over the years after this we need to colorize our photo so we need
to click on Colorize Black and White Photos and then we need to upload the photo and select the colorization
factor (this will decide how bright colors are to be used in the photograph) and then click on Colorize and
there you go we have a fully restored colored photo to impress our grandparents and parents.

Well if you are a Youtuber or a content creator and you need a proper intro for your channel well this is the place where you can find classic to super crazy intros and that too all for free . You can edit these intros and give the required text and give it new features like different colors, font size and font style. The effect settings are a bit conceptual to be honest but yes with little practice you get perfect with time on it. Although it’s not a very big problem as most of the effects are pre designed and can be readily used for the editing or making of the intros.
For creating an intro all you need is you need to go on this website and select the intro or clip you think best for you and click on it and then it will take you to a project window, after this just edit the video with the text and download it, so after this we are ready with our intro.
The website also provides some extra features like Backgrounder and video editor which can also be explored by you depending upon the need you have.
 The interesting part here is that you get to experience the operating system with the old applications and and the new ones like you will be able to see applications like VS Code ,Discord , Github and on the other hand plenty of old 90’s games like Tomb Raider, Street Fighter Alpha and Wolfenstein 3D are available. So all over this website is not very productive but it is a very interesting website that I need to admit.

This website is very useful at times when you are a singer and you only need the background music of the song that you want to practice or perform. So what this site does is it separates the lyrics and the vocals of the song.
We need to just go to the website and drop our song and there we go we have both the lyrics and vocals of the song separated. It also has some features like a karaoke recorder,audio recorder,audio cutter,audio converter and audio joiner.We can definitely make use of them depending upon the need.

https://vocalremover.org/
So coming to the last website this website is used for developers around the world. Now with the growing demand of programming many of us want to program and run our code and mostly we use VS Code for this but now it’s not compulsory that the laptop or computer you are working on must have VS Code installed on it.
The solution to this is this particular website as it lets you code online and not only this but save your projects online you can code in almost any of the popular programming languages like C++,C,Python,Java and many more.
Now for those who are comparing this website with onlineGdb.com ,we surely can but repl.it has a leading edge as it gives us features like we can host our projects say our Discord Bot or anything like that and also we have an option for creating a Database for the project. So this website at the end is a blessing for programmers.

https://repl.it/
So I guess at the end I was able to make this blog an interesting one and I also tried to cover websites from different sectors so that it does not get boring and each website may be a new journey for you. These 7 websites according to me are really cool websites and you can use them in your daily life for interesting stuff.

Make a new local repo & set upstream
- on Github, move to source page for repo ("original")
- use Fork button to create your Github copy ("new repo")
- change new repo Setting to allow Issues
- copy the new repo URL
- change to local directory where you want to deposit the repo
- issue command: git clone <url>
- copy URL from original, for upstream
- issue command: git remote add upstream <url>
check by issuing command: git remote -v
you should see the master point to your new repo and the upstream point to the original.
Fetch upstream changes
- shift (use command: git co) to the origin directory
- check by issuing command: git remote -v
- issue command: git fetch upstream
- issue command: git branch -va
- (output should include "upstream/master")
- shift to master branch
- issue command: git merge upstream/master
you may need to commit, or add a commit message (if editor appears, "save")
confirm by issuing command: git push origin master
Push task(s) / push branch
- issue your choice of commands:
- git add
- git commit
- git commit -a
to add changes to the head and commit the changes - send to Github; issue command: git push origin <branch>
- checkout master
- Fast Forward the master; issue command: git merge <branch>
<branch> should now be deletable... don’t forget to pull on Github !

Class: Concurrent::ReadWriteLock
- Inherits:
-
Synchronization::Object
- Object
- Synchronization::Object
- Concurrent::ReadWriteLock
- Defined in:
- lib/concurrent/atomic/read_write_lock.rb
Overview
Do not try to acquire the write lock while already holding a read lock or try to acquire the write lock while you already have it. This will lead to deadlock
Ruby read-write lock implementation
Allows any number of concurrent readers, but only one concurrent writer (And if the "write" lock is taken, any readers who come along will have to wait)
If readers are already active when a writer comes along, the writer will wait for all the readers to finish before going ahead. Any additional readers that come when the writer is already waiting, will also wait (so writers are not starved).
This implementation is based on java.util.concurrent.ReentrantReadWriteLock
.

I got to know my classmates straight away and I coded around 60 hours. General Assembly is a 12-week intensive coding bootcamp. I joined because I wanted to immerse myself into a community of coders and learn how to look at things differently. The first week started with JavaScript. This new approach seems more fitting as JavaScript is ‘trending’ right now. So far, I’ve built a calculator and tictactoe in JavaScript. It’s not much, but I did some cool things with the DOM including random image generation, a computer player for tictactoe and some awesome design and hover effects. I don’t think I could have learned the DOM any better than how I learned it with GA. The DOM itself is not a hard to understand, nor is basic JavaScript. However, GA gives us challenges every night. If we complete the project, we can always ask for more. My classmates are quite competitive, but also a great friendly group to hang out with. Some nights were hard and others were really easy. I’ve only had a handful of assignments, so I feel confident enough to say it should get harder or at least I hope.
Invaluable Knowledge
Here are few amazing ways to understand specific web concepts:CSS & Floats:
Floats and absolute can be on the same web page. Simply separate them in containers by doing the following (using Sas compiler - separate divs for regular css):
div#container {
position:relative;
innerdiv{
position:absolute;
}
JavaScript Concepts & Tricks:
This speeds up your code
var i = 0; for(i;i < 5;i++) {}

LaTeX
A Tool Used By The Blind
A Blind Person's ViewPoint on LaTeX
Here's an excerpt from the article, LaTeX: What Is It and Why Do We Need It? by Al Maneki and Alysha Jeans
LaTeX can allow the blind user to access some mainstream mathematical resources on the web. Some websites have LaTeX tags for their equations. A major example is Pikipedia. Refer to Wikipedia's article on the quadratic equation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation. If a blind person reads the formulas on this page with a screen reader, she/he will hear their LaTeX representations.
As accessed 28 March 2019
The important takeaway is that it allows blind users to be producers of content as well as consumers. It allows them to participate with the rest of us.

UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD A film review by G M Heinrich Copyright 1992 G M Heinrich
Review: UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD. Directed Wim Wenders (WINGS OF DESIRE) Lots of actors, including William Hurt, Solveig Dommartin, Sam Neill, Max Von Syndow and Ernie Dingo.
The Australian release of UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD is roughly three hours long, cut down from an original length that's rumoured to be between five and seven hours long. Even so, there's more than one movie in the edited length of World: there's at least three distinct sections, and enough stuffing -- in terms of ideas and incomplete, possibly edited-out character development -- to make a few more movies again. Ambitious, in this case, is an understatement.
UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD has three basic sections. The first hour is an ordinary chase movie through Europe and the US. The action then moves to Coober Pedy for the final two "acts."  His father has invented a camera for the blind. Hurt was travelling around the world to film images for his mother. (The scene where Hurt films his sister and her daughter is my favourite of the movie: the daughter tells the camera how she misses her mother, and wishes the mother were there to meet the granddaughter. It's simple and moving, with superbly restrained emotional impact.)
The film Hurt makes -- and it's effect on the mother -- is the centre of the second section. And the final third concerns "the disease of images." The father goes one step further with his camera, and records the dreams of Hurt and Dommartin, who become addicted.
UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD is co-written by Peter Carey (the narration is reminiscent of Illywacker). It's filmed in 10 countries -- Wenders has said, in interviews, that "the constant crew...were...completely wasted and out of their heads." In some ways, this shows. There was too much material for one movie -- it's disjointed and obviously heavily edited. But for a director like Wenders, severe editing is a plus. And the constant introduction of new themes and plots (and the way once-important plotlines are just forgotten) doesn't distract from the dazzling ideas of the script.
Very much worth seeing. Inventive, affecting and more interesting than most of the movies showing now.
(That review was followed up by a friend of mine, who said UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD was "good, but dull in places." But he's not good with long movies.)

Skill-Sleeves: Designing Electrode Garments for Wearability
This is the companion website to our TEI2021 paper. In the paper, we discuss the lessons we have learned about wearability whilst building multiple iterations of electrode sleeves.
You can find the paper in the ACM Digital Library or you can download a copy here.
Here is a brief presentation about the work:

If the parent directories don't exist, the -p
argument creates them.
Example: $ mkdir -p unitedstates/illinois/chicago
Brings you to the absolute root folder.
Example: $ cd /
Brings you to the relative user account home folder.
Example: $ cd ~
The pushd
and popd
commands work just like array methods, allowing you to easily navigate between multiple directories. If you're at your desktop
, use pushd
and pass it the path to chicago
to change to chicago
. When you want to go back to your desktop
, just use popd
, (without a parameter) to take chicago
of the stack. You can do this for multiple folders, and it just pushes them on the end of an "array" of directories and pops them off as you need them, first in, first out. Note that pushd
can also be used without a parameter to swap between directories already on the stack.
Example:
$ cd desktop
$ mkdir -p unitedstates/illinois/chicago
$ pushd unitedstates/illinois/chicago
~/desktop/unitedstates/illinois/chicago ~/desktop
$ popd
~/desktop
$ pwd
~/desktop
And for a little fun I have to admit something. I have a horrible irrational fear that my cat is going to somehow walk across my laptop when I've left terminal open and type rm -rf /

Robotics Renders pt. 2: QBit
Over the past year, I helped design the robot of the L&N STEMpunks for the 2018 FIRST Robotics Competition: FIRST Power Up.
The goal of the game was to place yellow cubes onto “scales” to gain points (field pictured below). Its function is not dissimilar from a mode in various video games, where one team holds one or more points and gains points the longer they hold it. With 15 seconds to go, the robots are supposed to go to the middle and climb to gain extra points. For a full breakdown, see this video.
Unlike the OutReach Bot renders, I instead experimented with camera effects, swapping out textures, and using different materials.
This was the first time I had opened Solidworks Visualize, and I popped the model in with no one the wiser.
As you can probably tell from the coming models, this is a different mechanism than what we ended up with. The reason for this is how the bot performed in competition. This mechanism broke at our first competition, forcing us to play defense, which we were mildly sucessfull at.
For more photorealism, I have begun varying the depth of field that the camera has. This will most likely lead to cooler animations for the reveal video. In addition, I swapped out wood textures on the panels, as to remove the repeated photo that I had taken early on in the year.

Gaussian Surface and a Point Charge
Examining field lines passing through a surface is a powerful tool for understanding the electric field. This is an application where VField's electric field visualization excels. We create a point charge surrounded by a spherical surface, then setup controls for the charge and the radius of the surface. In a later example we even change the shape of the surface. There will be two controls for the charge, automatically bound to the same events that they generate, so they remain in sync. What other variables might it be interesting to make interactive1?
This statC charge is surrounded by a sphere of radius cm.
Let's refresh our memory of the overall process. Perhaps we will simplify this by merging Lesson and VField into a single file eventually, but for now they remain separate.
- Include the VField and Lesson toolkits on your page.
- Configure the visualization.
- Give a place to draw the visualization.
- Define interactions.
Include VField and Lesson toolkits

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="http://vizit.github.io/lesson/css/Lesson.css">

We demonstrate a little more of what the combination of VField and lesson are capable of.
Configure the visualization

The elements
are now an array containing two entries.
Elements
can be a single item or an array, with an array
required to contain multiple entries.
The first entry in the elements
array is the familiar
point charge at the origin. It is joined by a second element, of
type
Gaussian sphere. A Gaussian sphere
is drawn as a gray translucent sphere. We see that the Gaussian sphere
also has coordinates x
, y
and z
equal to zero, that is the sphere is centered around the charge, which
is also at x
, y
and z
equal zero.
The sphere has a radius, r
of 20cm.
q1
remains bound to the charge
,
and r
is bound to the radius, r
,
of the sphere.
Manipulating the charge shows that the number of field lines crossing the sphere changes in direct proportion to the change in the charge. Manipulating the radius of the sphere illustrates how the space between the field lines is proportional to r2.
Give a place to draw and define interactions

The electric field from a
statC charge.

This  statC charge is surrounded
by a sphere of radius cm.

This time there are three lesson elements, one for the radius of the sphere, and two for the charge. The lesson elements are also HTML elements, and so fit into the flow of the page, and can be styled by CSS.
Another powerful instructional technique is setting specific scenarios.
- What about the position of the charge, or of the sphere, so that the charge moves within the sphere, perhaps even moving outside of the sphere?

When I was in university Pablo de Olavide we used WebCT for the online presence of teachers and students. It was an extremely useful web system. Among the many thing WebCT could do was to manage documents. So teachers will upload notes for the Java class at the start of the course and students will be able to download it, study it and raise questions before the actual class starts. It was a very useful document store. Another very useful feature that we used intensively was the Task system. So a teacher will say ‘Solve problems 13-18 and send me the code’. We will solve them and then send back the code, all using the web interface. It was very handy.
There are many other features, but they were all irrelevant since we didn’t use them. Nonetheless it wasn’t all perfect. It was far from perfect. The idea, the utility of the application was very good, yet the implementation could be much better. It was slow. The UI was ugly. Some times it will just explode and we will be without WebCT a few days until the IT figure it out what went wrong. Also, it was incredible costly for the university to use it, not just because of the important investment in IT infrastructure to serve 20000 users, but the actual cost of licensing the software. To get you an idea, they can’t afford to upgrade to new versions of WebCT. And since the world is in recession and particularly in Spain the government is cutting education budget by 20% (for real) it doesn’t seem likely that they will be able to update in years.
So that was the situation. When I was at my final year I took a web development course. I learnt a lot of technologies but the one that caught my eye was Ruby on Rails. It was an amazing piece of technology that allowed small teams to deliver working software in a matter of days instead of weeks or months. Real speed. I decided that I wanted to give it a go to creating a Learning Management System(LMS). I deliberately wanted it to be dead simple to use and to install. I didn’t want universities to need a whole staff of IT just to support the platform. It must be open source, so that they could modify the source code to meet they particular needs. It needed to be fast so that people could spend their time actually learning and not just using the learning platform. It should be able to store documents and manage tasks.
 I didn’t really knew how to use Rails and I was a beginner in CSS, HTML, knew nothing about JS. I made every possible mistake. I failed to create useful software, but I learned more and more of Rails. I started again. And again. And again. Each time a new project. Each time a new approach, different tools, different UI, different database, different testing approach, etc. It has become sort of my ‘Hello World’ application whenever I want to test a new cutting edge tech.
This time, the new tech I wanted to give it a try was Apotomo, a component oriented framework for Rails. I also happen to be reading Designed For Use, a book on Usability, how to improve user interfaces so that they are intuitive, natural, discoverable, easy to learn and master. So as a was reading the book I was designing the UI of the new DaVinci LMS prototype. I think this time I have actually achieve to produce a fully working application that meets the IT needs of a school. And so I wanted to make it public, so that people can try it and give me feedback on what they love and what they hate. Also, I could use more fellow developers on this project so you are welcome to contribute.

Hack 77 Automated Install
If you're responsible for installing multiple systems, hopefully you've discovered the art of automating installs. Most operating systems have some sort of scripting mechanism that allows you to predefine the answers to the questions asked by the install program. Once you've started the actual install, you can leave and return to a fully installed system. The alternative is to sit there, answering every prompt when it appears. No, thank you! Even as a home user, it's well worth your while to spend a few minutes customizing the install script that comes with FreeBSD. Try this hack once and you'll never want to sit and watch an install again. 8.2.1 Preparing the Install ScriptBefore installing any system, you need to know the following:
Of course, it's always a good idea to record this information and include it with the documentation for the system. FreeBSD's install mechanism lives in /stand/sysinstall. Not surprisingly, man sysinstall describes all of the scriptable bits of this program. I'll go over some useful parameters, but you'll definitely want to skim through the manpage to see if there are additional parameters suited to your particular environment. FreeBSD also comes with a commented, ready-to-customize install script, located in /usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/install.cfg. Copy this file, then edit the copy in your favorite editor. Start by inserting your own network settings: # This is the installation configuration file for my test machine, # crate.cdrom.com. # It is included here merely as a sort-of-documented example. # # $FreeBSD: src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/install.cfg,v 1.11 2001/09/06 10:04:27 murray Exp $ # Turn on extra debugging. debug=yes ################################ # My host specific data hostname=crate.cdrom.com domainname=cdrom.com nameserver=<IP_ADDRESS> defaultrouter=<IP_ADDRESS> ipaddr=<IP_ADDRESS> netmask=<IP_ADDRESS> ################################ Replace the example network information with the name and IP settings associated with the specific host you'd like to install. If you're using DHCP to obtain this information, fill in the hostname line and replace the other lines with: tryDHCP=YES Next, replace the name of the NIC and the path to the FTP site. In this example, the NIC is rl0 and I'm using the default FTP site: ################################ # Which installation device to use _ftpPath=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ netDev=rl0 mediaSetFTP ################################ Next come the desired distributions. (See man sysinstall for more details.) Include them all on the one dists= line, separated by a space: ################################ # Select which distributions we want. dists=bin doc games manpages dict compat4x ports src sbase ssys Xbin Xcfg \ Xdoc Xlib Xman Xset Xfnt Servers/XS3V Xfsrv distSetCustom ################################
The partitioning scheme section is very important. If you don't want to use the default scheme which uses the entire disk, read this section of the manpage carefully. Also, the default file gives examples for three disks. Make sure you remove the examples and replace them with your own partitioning scheme. The following example is the equivalent of choosing a for "all," followed by a for "auto defaults": ############################################################# # Set the parameters for the partition editor # ad = IDE, da = SCSI disk=ad0 partition=exclusive diskPartitionEditor ############################################################# # - All sizes are expressed in 512 byte blocks! # - "Size in MB" = sectors * 512 / 1024 / 1024 # - "Number of blocks" = xsize in mb * 1024 * 1024 / 512 # The non-zero value after the mountpoint means enable soft updates # 256MB UFS ad0s1a ad0s1-1=ufs 524288 / # 240MB SWAP ad0s1b ad0s1-2=swap 491520 none # 256MB UFS ad0s1d ad0s1-3=ufs 524288 /var # 256MB UFS ad0s1e ad0s1-4=ufs 524288 /tmp # Rest of FreeBSD partition ad0s1f ad0s1-5=ufs 0 /usr diskLabelEditor # runs diskLabelCommit diskPartitionWrite installCommit Finally, list which applications you would like to install. List each package on its own line, followed by the packageAdd command: # Install some packages at the end. package=fetchmail-6.2.0 packageAdd package=pine-4.55 packageAdd package=lynx-2.8.5d14 packageAdd The FreeBSD package list (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.1-RELEASE/packages/All) has the exact names of each available package. Replace i386/5.1-RELEASE with your platform and desired operating system version. 8.2.2 Test-DriveNow that you've created a customized version of install.cfg, prepare a freshly formatted UFS floppy: # fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fd0 # bsdlabel -w /dev/fd0 fd1440 # newfs /dev/fd0 Once the floppy is ready, copy install.cfg onto it. On a test system, start the install process either by booting from a FreeBSD CD-ROM/DVD or with the two install floppies. When you receive the sysinstall Main Menu screen, choose Load Config. Insert the floppy containing your customized install.cfg and press OK. Once the configuration file has been loaded, you'll receive the message You may remove the floppy from floppy drive unit A. While this is meant to be an unattended install, you should be present during your first test install. This will give you the opportunity to ensure that your script runs smoothly, without hanging at any portion of the install. If it does hang, check your install.cfg for a typo in that section. Once the install is complete, you'll return to the sysinstall Main Menu. At this point, you can either configure the system interactively by choosing Configure or use a prepared post-configuration script, as found in /usr/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/post.
Once you're happy with your floppy, label it with your operating system version. Store it where you can find it the next time you're ready to install a version of that operating system. 8.2.3 See Also |

After killing Ravana, Lord Rama is resting on a rock. He notices a shadow approaching him. He realises that the shadow is that of a woman. He does not lift His eyes to see who it is, for, Lord Rama never looks at any woman other than Sita. As the shadow nears Him, Lord Rama pulls His feet up, and sits with His legs folded. This is to avoid even the shadow of the unknown woman touching His feet. So careful is He that none other than His wife should touch Him.
Lord Rama is particular that even the shadow of another woman should not touch Him, said M.V. Anantapadmanabhachariar, in a discourse. The shadow is then seen to recede. Lord Rama wonders who it is, who had come so close to Him and had yet retreated. So He enquires who the person is.
The shadow is that of Mandodari, and she discloses who she is. Lord Rama asks her why she is there. She says she heard that Ravana was killed in battle. Ravana had been a king who had struck fear in the hearts of his enemies. Everyone believed him to be invincible. And yet, he had been killed by someone. She had come to the battlefield to look at the man who killed her husband. She wanted to know what quality He had that her husband did not have. Lord Rama then asks her whether she found what that quality was. Mandodari says she has found that quality. Lord Rama is particular that even the shadow of a woman other than his wife should not touch Him. Ravana, on the other hand, was willing to sacrifice so many lives in his attempt at making another man's wife his. Therein lies the difference. That one quality of Lord Rama has led to His victory, says Mandodari.
Ravana's sin had been so heinous that he had been slain. There was right on the side of Lord Rama. And He was an exception among men. There may be men outwardly loyal to their wives, but their thoughts may go astray.
Lord Rama was the one whose thoughts and words never went astray. When Sita is lost, and Lord Rama sees Her jewels strewn about, He mentions each piece of jewellery and laments the loss of His wife. To Lord Rama, Sita is irreplaceable
