Use Debuggers to see Object State and associated methods :
Use the WebDevhelper from Nikhil Kothari which provides you with debug API to inspect Object State.
The methods available when you install the WebDevHelper are :
window.debugService.trace
You can use this api to write messages onto the Script Trace Console.
Ex :
if( window.debugService ) { window.debugService.trace("I am a trace message from the DebugService") ; }
window.debugService.inspect
You can use this API to inspect the state of an Object at runtime .
Ex:
if( window.debugService ) { window.debugService.inspect("Auto Complete Extender",$find("AutoCompleteEx")); }
How do I use these methods to help me work with the AjaxControlToolkit Controls?
Whenever you want to work on the AjaxControlToolkit controls , there are a couple of things that hinder you
You don't know which methods are available on an extender
You don't know how to invoke those methods on the extender
1) You don't know which methods are available on the Extender :
a) Get a handle to the Behavior of the Extender using the $find Method.
ex :
var autoCompleteBehavior = $find("AutoCompleteEx");
b) Use an Object Explorer to view the methods exposed by it :
In Web Dev Helper's Script Console :
window.debugService.inspect("AutoComplete Extender",autoCompleteBehavior);
Using the ASP.NET AJAX API :
Sys.Debug.traceDump(object, name)
Dumps an object to the debugger console and to the TraceConsoletextarea element, if available.
Sys.Debug.traceDump("AutoComplete Extender",autoCompleteBehavior);
2) You don't know how to invoke those methods on the extender
In general , you can have a general rule about how to invoke these methods :
The general syntax would be :
<ExtenderBehaviorHandle>.<MethodName>([Params])
ex :
autoCompleteBehavior.set_firstRowSelected(true)
And finally :
The best way to know which methods are exposed and what are the parameters exposed by the extender
is to Read the Source Code .
Download the Latest Release Source Code from Here
Hope this helps.
If you have a question about a specific Extender , feel free to drop a comment or contact me .


To modify a feature, click on the feature icon or program file name, screen similar to figure 6.3.1 will be displayed. In there, you can upload a new
icon image to replace the original icon, upload an updated version of feature program, modify related database schema by providing a SQL script file,
active or deactivate feature on decoy web site, or change active feature sorting order.
Icon file and program file will be updated if you give new file on the corresponding input file, and database schema will be changed if you provide a
SQL script file. After you input all data you wanted to change, press the 'Save' button to update.

SSVM was formed during Spring 2015 as a non-profit voluntary organisation, by a group of like-minded individuals with a mission to providing a place of worship / practice yoga and the Vedic culture. Until this time, individuals and families had to travel upto 2 hours to offer prayers and worship at the Temples in London and Birmingham. SSVM has provided the opportunity to bridge this gap, and has attracted more people not only from Milton Keynes but also from Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and other parts of Buckinghamshire.
Over 3200 people have visited the makeshift temple at the Milton Keynes Hindu Association, since September 2015 with an average of 65 people per week over 52 weeks. We have conducted a number of courses on classical Music and traditional dance over this period and also have had a music festival in Sept’16. Vedic chants have been regularly performed to bring harmony within the community.
SSVM committee takes feedback from the community and strives to continuously improve their service.
Our dedicated committee members, having varied backgrounds - from university professor to teachers, IT professionals and doctors, are self motivated, with the common goal of "Service to Humanity" as their motto, and serve as the backbone to the SSVM and its weekly activities.
Here are list of committee members of Siddhi vinayak Mandir dedicated to the cause of seeing a permanent temple in Milton Keynes.
1. Mr. Guru Mahadevan
2. Ms. Lakshmi Pachala
3. Mr. Mahesh Sethuraman
4. Mr. Naresh Kumar
5. Mr. Ragupathy R Raja
6. Mr. Raja Sreevats
7. Mr. Ramakrishnan Venkatraman
8. Dr. Satheesh Krsihnamoorthy
9. Ms. SwarnaLakshmi Ramesh
Together, with a group of outstanding volunteer team, the last one year has been quite an experience in serving the MK Hindu Community.
We hope / pray to offering our continued service

Ups. Try find maybe here?


The standard root directory for all esmond configuration and data. esmond will not start unless ESMOND_ROOT is set.
This specifies the location of esmond.conf.
Setting this environment variable will cause esmond to use SQLite for it’s SQL database instead of whatever is configured in esmond.conf.
Todo
Probably should move this into the code that does the config to make it easier to keep it in sync.
esmond uses an INI style config file. By default the config file is located at ${ESMOND_ROOT}/esmond.conf. The ${ESMOND_CONF} enviroment variable allows overriding the location of the config file. The value of ESMOND_ROOT is available within the config file.
Here is an example esmond.conf file:
[main]
sql_db_engine = django.db.backends.sqlite3
sql_db_name = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/esmond.db
tsdb_root = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/tsdb-data
tsdb_chunk_prefixes = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/tsdb-data
api_anon_limit = 30
api_throttle_at =
api_throttle_timeframe =
api_throttle_expiration =
cassandra_servers = localhost:9160
cassandra_user =
cassandra_pass =
db_profile_on_testing = no
profile_persister = no
mib_dirs = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/mibs
mibs =
syslog_facility = local7
syslog_priority = debug
traceback_dir = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/crashlog
pid_dir = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/var/
espersistd_uri = <IP_ADDRESS>:11211
espoll_persist_uri = MemcachedPersistHandler:<IP_ADDRESS>:11211
htpasswd_file = %(ESMOND_ROOT)s/htpasswd
[persist_map]
FastPollHC = cassandra
FastPoll = cassandra
JnxFirewall = cassandra
JnxCOS = cassandra
Errors = cassandra
ALUFastPollHC = cassandra
ALUErrors = cassandra
ALUIfRefPoll = aluifref
SentryPoll = cassandra
ALUSAPRefPoll = alusapref
ALUSAPPoll = cassandra
IfRefPoll = ifref
[persist_queues]
cassandra = CassandraPollPersister:9
ifref = IfRefPollPersister:1
infifref = InfIfRefPollPersister:1
aluifref = ALUIfRefPollPersister:1
alusapref = ALUSAPRefPersister:1
sql_db_engine, sql_db_host, sql_db_port, sql_db_user, sql_db_password, sql_db_name are the same as their Django counterparts.
Connection string info for cassandra backend. cassandra_servers can be a comma-delimited list of servers if using a ring.
Limits the number of queries a non-authenticated client can request from the REST api /bulk/ data endpoint.
This tells espolld where to find the work queue for data persistence. It is of the form handler:ip_addr:port. Currently the only handler implemented is the MemcachedPersistHandler.
This is location of the password file that is used by newdb
This is a comma separated list of directories additional MIBs can be found. DLNetSNMP automatically includes the system MIB dir in the MIB path.
This is a comma separated list of MIBs to load at startup time.
Directory to store pid files in.
Controls which syslog facility esmond uses for logging.
Controls the verbosity of log messages sent to syslog. Defaults to info.
When an esmond daemon crashes the system makes an effort to save a traceback for later fault analysis. This controls where those files are logged.
TSDB implements a simple union filesystem for data storage. This is a comma separated list of the directories to be used.
This is the path to the top (write) layer of the TSDB. It should be the same as the first component of of tsdb_chunk_prefixes.
persist_map specifies which queue(s) data from a given OIDSet is placed in. The queue names are comma separated. persist_queues specifies what persister is used to store the data put into that queue.
The default configuration should be fine for most situations. Here is the default config:
[persist_map]
FastPollHC = tsdb
FastPoll = tsdb
InfFastPollHC = tsdb
JnxFirewall = tsdb
JnxCOS = tsdb
Errors = tsdb
IfRefPoll = ifref
[persist_queues]
tsdb = TSDBPollPersister:8
ifref = IfRefPollPersister:1
The database defined by the sql_db_* directives need to be loaded with the schema defined by the django models in esmond/api/models.py.
python esmond/manage.py syncdb
Data collection is controlled by the configuration stored in the database. A device is any device from which data needs to be extracted. Each device can #be configured to have one or more OIDSet s collected. An OIDSet is a list of (generally) related OID s to collect together.
An initial set of OIDs and OIDSets is included in src/sql/testdata.sql.
To add a device to esmond you need to do:
- INSERT INTO device (name, begin_time, end_time, community, active)
- VALUES (‘test-router’, ‘NOW’, ‘infinity’, ‘public’, true);
name should be the DNS name of the device. I certainly hope you aren’t using ‘public’ for your community.
Once the device has been added you need to define some OIDSets to poll on that device. The OIDSets definied in testdata.sql are IfRefPoll, FastPoll and FastPollHC. IfRefPoll collects information about the interface such as it’s speed, it’s description, etc. FastPoll and FastPollHC collect if{In,Out}Octets and ifHC{In,Out}Octets respectively. To add a OIDSet to be polled for a device do:
- INSERT INTO DeviceOIDSetMap (DeviceId, OIDSetId)
- VALUES (DeviceId, OIDSetId);
You can check to see what the results of polling a device would look like by using the espoll tool. For example:
$ bin/espoll -f /path/to/esmond/conf router oidset
To start collection you need to start the polling and persistence daemons:
$ bin/espersistd -f /path/to/esmond.conf $ bin/espolld -f /path/to/esmond.conf
To monitor the progress of the polling and persisting do:
$ bin/espersistd -f /path/to/esmond.conf -r stats
You should also see messages in syslog.
Presently TSDB is very I/O intensive. The current deployment at ESnet uses a SSD as the top level storage.
$ bin/esdbd -f /path/to/esmond.conf
To be written, there is a example wsgi wrapper in util.
Use Store in esmond.graphite_store as the data store for Graphite. This section needs to be signficantly fleshed out.
If you’re using a two level data store take a look at migrate-tsdb-chunks in util.

World Wide Web, though by far the largest knowledge base, is rarely regarded as database in traditional sense - as source of information used for further computing. Web-Harvest is inspired by practical need for having right data at the right time. And very often, the Web is the only source that publicly provides wanted information.
The main goal behind Web-Harvest is to empower the usage of already existing extraction technologies. Its purpose is not to propose a new method, but to provide a way to easily use and combine the existing ones. Web-Harvest offers the set of processors for data handling and control flow. Each processor can be regarded as a function - it has zero or more input parameters and gives a result after execution. Processors could be combined in a pipeline, making the chain of execution. For easier manipulation and data reuse Web-Harvest provides variable context where named variables are stored. The following diagram describes one pipeline execution:
The result of extraction could be available in files created during execution or from the variable context if Web-Harvest is programmatically used.
Every extraction process is defined in one or more configuration files, using simple XML-based language. Each processor is described by specific XML element or structure of XML elements. For the illustration, here is presented an example of configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <config charset="UTF-8"> <var-def name="urlList"> <xpath expression="//img/@src"> <html-to-xml> <http url="http://news.bbc.co.uk"/> </html-to-xml> </xpath> </var-def> <loop item="link" index="i" filter="unique"> <list> <var name="urlList"/> </list> <body> <file action="write" type="binary" path="images/${i}.gif"> <http url="${sys.fullUrl('http://news.bbc.co.uk', link)}"/> </file> </body> </loop> </config>
All data produced and consumed during extraction process in
Web-Harvest have three representations: text, binary and list. There is
also special data value empty, whose textual representation is
empty string, binary - empty byte array and list - zero length list.
Which form of data is used - it depends on processor that consumes the
data. In previous configuration html-to-xml processor uses
downloaded content as text in order to transform it to HTML, loop
processor uses variable urlList as a list in order to iterate
over it and file processor treats downloaded images as binary
data when saving them to the files. In most cases proper representation
of the data is chosen by Web-Harvest. However - in some situations it
must be explicitly stated which one to use. One example is file
processor where default data type is text and the binary
content must be explicitly specified with type="binary"
.
Web-Harvest provides the variable context for storing and using variables. There is no special convention for naming variables like in most of the programming languages. Thus, the names like arr[1], 100 or #$& are valid. However, if aforementioned variables were used in scripts or templates (see next section), where expressions are dynamically evaluated, the exception would be thrown. It is therefore recommended to use usual programming language naming in order to avoid any difficulties.
When Web-Harvest is programmatically used (from Java code, not from command line) variable context may be initially set by user in order to add custom values and functionality. Similarly, after execution, variable context is available for taking variables from it.
When user-defined functions are called, separate local variable context is created (like in many programming languages, including Java). The valid way to exchange data between caller and called function is through the function parameters.
Besides the set of powerful text and XML manipulation processors, Web-Harvest supports real scripting languages which code can be easily intergrated within scraper configurations. Languages currently supported are BeanShell, Groovy and Javascript. BeanShell is probably the closest to Java syntax and power, but Groovy and Javascript have some other adventages. It is up to the developer to use prefered language or even to mix different languages in the single configuration.
Templating allowes evaluating of marked parts of the text (text "islands" surrounded with ${ and }). Evaluation is performed using the chosen scripting language. In Web-Harvest all elements' attributes are implicitly passed to the templating engine. In upper configuration, there are two places where templater is doing the job:
path="images/${i}.gif"
in file
processor, producing file names based on loop index,url="${sys.fullUrl('http://news.bbc.co.uk',
link)}"
in http processor, where built-in functionality is
called to calculate full URL of the image.

Understanding Hyperbole using RSA¶
"My new kettle cost a million dollars."
Hyperbole – using an exagerated utterance to convey strong opinions – is a common non-literal use of language. Yet non-literal uses of langauge are impossible under the simplest RSA model. Kao, et al, suggested that two ingredients could be added to ennable RSA to capture hyperbole. First, the state conveyed by the speaker and reasoned about by the listener should include affective dimensions. Second, the speaker only intends to convey information relevant to a particular topic, such as “how expensive was it?” or “how am I feeling about the price?”; pragmatic listeners hence jointly reason about this topic and the state.
[1]:
#first some imports
import torch
torch.set_default_dtype(torch.float64) # double precision for numerical stability
import collections
import argparse
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pyro
import pyro.distributions as dist
import pyro.poutine as poutine
from search_inference import factor, HashingMarginal, memoize, Search
As in the simple RSA example, the inferece helper Marginal
takes an un-normalized stochastic function, constructs the distribution over execution traces by using Search
, and constructs the marginal distribution on return values (via HashingMarginal
).
[2]:
def Marginal(fn):
return memoize(lambda *args: HashingMarginal(Search(fn).run(*args)))
The domain for this example will be states consisting of price (e.g. of a tea kettle) and the speaker’s emotional arousal (whether the speaker thinks this price is irritatingly expensive). Priors here are adapted from experimental data.
[3]:
State = collections.namedtuple("State", ["price", "arousal"])
def price_prior():
values = [50, 51, 500, 501, 1000, 1001, 5000, 5001, 10000, 10001]
probs = torch.tensor([0.4205, 0.3865, 0.0533, 0.0538, 0.0223, 0.0211, 0.0112, 0.0111, 0.0083, 0.0120])
ix = pyro.sample("price", dist.Categorical(probs=probs))
return values[ix]
def arousal_prior(price):
probs = {
50: 0.3173,
51: 0.3173,
500: 0.7920,
501: 0.7920,
1000: 0.8933,
1001: 0.8933,
5000: 0.9524,
5001: 0.9524,
10000: 0.9864,
10001: 0.9864
}
return pyro.sample("arousal", dist.Bernoulli(probs=probs[price])).item() == 1
def state_prior():
price = price_prior()
state = State(price=price, arousal=arousal_prior(price))
return state
Now we define a version of the RSA speaker that only produces relevant information for the literal listener. We define relevance with respect to a Question Under Discussion (QUD) – this can be thought of as defining the speaker’s current attention or topic.
The speaker is defined mathematically by:
To implement this as a probabilistic program, we start with a helper function project
, which takes a distribution over some (discrete) domain and a function qud
on this domain. It creates the push-forward distribution, using Marginal
(as a Python decorator). The speaker’s relevant information is then simply information about the state in this projection.
[4]:
@Marginal
def project(dist,qud):
v = pyro.sample("proj",dist)
return qud_fns[qud](v)
@Marginal
def literal_listener(utterance):
state=state_prior()
factor("literal_meaning", 0. if meaning(utterance, state.price) else -999999.)
return state
@Marginal
def speaker(state, qud):
alpha = 1.
qudValue = qud_fns[qud](state)
with poutine.scale(scale=torch.tensor(alpha)):
utterance = utterance_prior()
literal_marginal = literal_listener(utterance)
projected_literal = project(literal_marginal, qud)
pyro.sample("listener", projected_literal, obs=qudValue)
return utterance
The possible QUDs capture that the speaker may be attending to the price, her affect, or some combination of these. We assume a uniform QUD prior.
[5]:
#The QUD functions we consider:
qud_fns = {
"price": lambda state: State(price=state.price, arousal=None),
"arousal": lambda state: State(price=None, arousal=state.arousal),
"priceArousal": lambda state: State(price=state.price, arousal=state.arousal),
}
def qud_prior():
values = list(qud_fns.keys())
ix = pyro.sample("qud", dist.Categorical(probs=torch.ones(len(values)) / len(values)))
return values[ix]
Now we specify the utterance meanings (standard number word denotations: “N” means exactly \(N\)) and a uniform utterance prior.
[6]:
def utterance_prior():
utterances = [50, 51, 500, 501, 1000, 1001, 5000, 5001, 10000, 10001]
ix = pyro.sample("utterance", dist.Categorical(probs=torch.ones(len(utterances)) / len(utterances)))
return utterances[ix]
def meaning(utterance, price):
return utterance == price
OK, let’s see what number term this speaker will say to express different states and QUDs.
[7]:
#silly plotting helper:
def plot_dist(d):
support = d.enumerate_support()
data = [d.log_prob(s).exp().item() for s in d.enumerate_support()]
names = support
ax = plt.subplot(111)
width=0.3
bins = list(map(lambda x: x-width/2,range(1,len(data)+1)))
ax.bar(bins,data,width=width)
ax.set_xticks(list(map(lambda x: x, range(1,len(data)+1))))
ax.set_xticklabels(names,rotation=45, rotation_mode="anchor", ha="right")
# plot_dist( speaker(State(price=50, arousal=False), "arousal") )
# plot_dist( speaker(State(price=50, arousal=True), "price") )
plot_dist( speaker(State(price=50, arousal=True), "arousal") )
Try different values above! When will the speaker favor non-literal utterances?
Finally, the pragmatic listener doesn’t know what the QUD is and so jointly reasons abut this and the state.
[8]:
@Marginal
def pragmatic_listener(utterance):
state = state_prior()
qud = qud_prior()
speaker_marginal = speaker(state, qud)
pyro.sample("speaker", speaker_marginal, obs=utterance)
return state
How does this listener interpret the uttered price “10,000”? On the one hand this is a very unlikely price a priori, on the other if it were true it would come with strong arousal. Altogether this becomes a plausible hyperbolic utterence:
[9]:
plot_dist( pragmatic_listener(10000) )
Pragmatic Halo¶
“It cost fifty dollars” is often interpretted as costing around 50 – plausibly 51; yet “it cost fiftyone dollars” is interpretted as 51 and definitely not 50. This assymetric imprecision is often called the pragmatic halo or pragmatic slack.
We can extend the hyperole model to capture this additional non-literal use of numbers by including QUD functions that collapse nearby numbers and assuming that round numbers are slightly more likely (because they are less difficult to utter).
[10]:
#A helper to round a number to the nearest ten:
def approx(x, b=None):
if b is None:
b = 10.
div = float(x)/b
rounded = int(div) + 1 if div - float(int(div)) >= 0.5 else int(div)
return int(b) * rounded
#The QUD functions we consider:
qud_fns = {
"price": lambda state: State(price=state.price, arousal=None),
"arousal": lambda state: State(price=None, arousal=state.arousal),
"priceArousal": lambda state: State(price=state.price, arousal=state.arousal),
"approxPrice": lambda state: State(price=approx(state.price), arousal=None),
"approxPriceArousal": lambda state: State(price=approx(state.price), arousal=state.arousal),
}
def qud_prior():
values = list(qud_fns.keys())
ix = pyro.sample("qud", dist.Categorical(probs=torch.ones(len(values)) / len(values)))
return values[ix]
def utterance_cost(numberUtt):
preciseNumberCost = 10.
return 0. if approx(numberUtt) == numberUtt else preciseNumberCost
def utterance_prior():
utterances = [50, 51, 500, 501, 1000, 1001, 5000, 5001, 10000, 10001]
utteranceLogits = -torch.tensor(list(map(utterance_cost, utterances)),
dtype=torch.float64)
ix = pyro.sample("utterance", dist.Categorical(logits=utteranceLogits))
return utterances[ix]
The RSA speaker and listener definitions are unchanged:
[11]:
@Marginal
def literal_listener(utterance):
state=state_prior()
factor("literal_meaning", 0. if meaning(utterance, state.price) else -999999.)
return state
@Marginal
def speaker(state, qud):
alpha = 1.
qudValue = qud_fns[qud](state)
with poutine.scale(scale=torch.tensor(alpha)):
utterance = utterance_prior()
literal_marginal = literal_listener(utterance)
projected_literal = project(literal_marginal, qud)
pyro.sample("listener", projected_literal, obs=qudValue)
return utterance
@Marginal
def pragmatic_listener(utterance):
state = state_prior()
qud = qud_prior()
speaker_marginal = speaker(state, qud)
pyro.sample("speaker", speaker_marginal, obs=utterance)
return state
OK, let’s see if we get the desired assymetric slack (we’re only interested in the interpretted price here, so we marginalize out the arousal).
[12]:
@Marginal
def pragmatic_listener_price_marginal(utterance):
return pyro.sample("pm", pragmatic_listener(utterance)).price
plot_dist(pragmatic_listener_price_marginal(50))
[13]:
plot_dist(pragmatic_listener_price_marginal(51))
Irony and More Complex Affect¶
In the above hyperbole model we assumed a very simple model of affect: a single dimension with two values (high and low arousal). Actual affect is best represented as a two-dimensional space corresponding to valence and arousal. Kao and Goodman (2015) showed that extending the affect space to these two dimensions immediately introduces a new usage of numbers: verbal irony in which an utterance corresponding to a high-arousal positive valence state is used to convey a high-arousal but negative valence (or vice versa).

¶ Sets the color of the fuselage (Overwritten from the default yellow) :type: str or Tuple
-
compartment_type
¶ Type of containers at each station, possible entries (nose, container, motor, tail) :type: str list
-
component_type
[source]¶ An identifier to be able to lump masses together. Possible entries: ‘wing’ ‘fuselage’ ‘vt’ ‘ht’ ‘ct’ ‘boom’ ‘payload’ ‘prop’ ‘battery’ ‘electronics’
Returns: Component Type
-
external_shape
[source]¶ The final shape of a ExternalSurface class which is to be exported THIS PART MUST BE OVERWRITTEN!!!
Returns: External Shape Return type: Box
-
frame_builder
[source]¶ This attribute codifies the knowledge for the fuselage and automatically generates the required frames by extracting the dimensions of the supplied sizing_parts’ through the methods `bbox_extractor and bbox_2_frame This has proven to be a very robust method since it does not depend on the complexity of the input part. Since these drones operate at very low mach numbers, the area rule which is commonly used for transonic aircraft is not valid. Instead these small drones can benefit from a lifting fuselage which is accomplished through having an airfoil like shape (thus a single location of maximum thickness). This location is referred to as the fuselage apex and is obtained by comparing the current frame to its sequential neighbor which links to a switch case, apex_reached and build_loc. A forward-chaining inference procedure is used in a for loop that traverses the fuselage from nose to tail and fires all fire-able rules sequentially. This procedure is preferred since multiple possibilities at each frame location exist (nose, container, motor, or tail) along with the same number of possibilities existing at the nearest neighbor. Finally, the start and end boundary conditions reject the creation of a nose or tail-cone before the fuselage is built, since both of these classes require tangency conditions at the start and end of the fuselage. Thus, the requested class is appended to a string array of still_to_build which is referenced later in the code.
Returns: A collection of frame variables that are used later in the fuselage class Return type: dict
-
frames
[source]¶ Collection of all center-fuselage section frames (those that were built by frame_builder. Each frame has an :attr: frame and :attr: points. If the user option minimize_frames is True then only the following frames are kept: [start, apex_start, apex_end, end].
Returns: List of center-fuselage section frames Return type: list
-
fuselage_joiner
[source]¶ Joines the current instantiated elements (nose/tail cone(s)) of the fuselage and outputs a single part
-
internal_shape
[source]¶ This overwrites the Part defined in the class Component an internal_shape w/ a Dummy Value
-
make_transparent
¶ Toggles transparency of the fuselage :type: bool
-
minimize_frames
¶ Initiates the automatic frame minimization WARNING: May lead to intersecting surfaces :type: bool
-
nose
[source]¶ Returns the nose cone of the fuselage is asked, otherwise returns a hidden circle. NOTE: This workaround was necessary to produce the parts in the tree, while still preserving lazy evaluation
-
pad_factor
¶ Sets the Padding Factor between Fuselage Sizing Parts :type: bool
-
ply_number
¶ Changes the number of ply’s of carbon fiber http://www.ijera.com/papers/Vol4_issue5/Version%202/J45025355.pdf :type: tuple
-
points
[source]¶ Grabs all spline_points out of the list frames. Due to how the primitive class Frame is defined the significance of the points in order is as follows: Point 0 = Bottom (start), Point 1 = Right Side, Point 2 = Top (end), Point 3 = Left Side
Returns: List of spline_points in
-
ruled
¶ Linearly joins the frames of the center fuselage WARNING: May lead to errors at the tail cone :type: bool
-
side_bc
[source]¶ The side tangency boundary condition required for the fuselage nose and tail. This is obtained by fitting a curve through all side-points (Point 1 of Attribute points). Since, the fuselage shell is lofted from nose to tail (toward positive x) the start tangent and end tangents, obtained from a FittedCurve both face this direction. Thus, to create a nose cone, which has a build direction of x_ the direction of the start_tangent must be reversed. BC 0 = Start Tangent (Direction x_), BC 1 = End Tangent (Direction x).
Returns: List containing the start and end tangent vectors, and construction spline, included for debugging Return type: Vector
-
tail
[source]¶ Returns the tail cone of the fuselage is asked, otherwise returns a hidden circle. NOTE: This workaround was necessary to produce the parts in the tree, while still preserving lazy evaluation
-
top_bc
[source]¶ The top tangency boundary condition required for the fuselage nose and tail. This is obtained by extracting the start and end tangents of the inner top edge from the attribute center_section_left. Keeping in-line with the definition of points in the frame primitives, the interpolated curve is conveniently constructed from the bottom point (Point 0) to the top point (Point 2). However, due to this convention the direction of the end tangent must be reversed.
Returns: List containing the start and end tangent vectors Return type: Vector

A vegetarian burger feast, using a blend of special ingredients from Peru. Martin Morales says he's worked long and hard to make this burger as delicious as the meat alternative.
For the amarillo paste heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the chilli, onion and garlic gently, without colouring them, until soft. Blend to a paste in a blender or a pestle and mortar.
For the quinoa burger, heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan then add the garlic, onions and amarillo paste until very hot. Add the maca (you can use plain flour as a substitute), quinoas and cheeses. Remove from the heat. Mix and season with salt and cumin to taste.
Shape the quinoa into burger patties 90g/3¼oz each.
Put the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls.
Coat each burger in flour, then beaten egg and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
Place in the fridge for 45 minutes while you prepare the rest of the meal.
For the cassava chips, preheat a deep fat fryer to 120C/250F. (Caution, hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Boil the cassava chips in water for 25 minutes, or until soft. Drain, pat dry and leave to go cold.
Deep fry the chips in batches for five minutes. Then increase the temperature to 180C/350F and cook for them again for another three minutes until crisp.
For the yoghurt dressing, mix together the yoghurt, kiwi, papaya and chopped mint.
For the salsa criolla, place the plum tomato and red onion in a bowl and season with lime juice, salt and pepper. Add the finely chopped coriander and mix.
For the ocopa dip, heat a drop of the olive oil in a saucepan, add the onion, garlic and chilli and fry until golden-brown. Add the toasted peanuts and put it all in a blender.
Blend for 10 seconds then add the rest of ingredients and blend until smooth.
To cook the quinoa burgers heat a deep fat fryer to 120C/250F. (Caution, hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
Fry the burgers for five minutes, or until golden-brown.
To serve, put the burger in a poppy seed bun with lettuce leaves, yoghurt dressing and salsa criolla. Serve the cassava chips on a plate with the ocopa dip alongside in a bowl.

Linus Benedict Torvalds (/ˈlaɪnəsˈtɔːrvɔːldz/; Swedish: [ˈliːn.ɵs ˈtuːr.valds] ; born December 28, 1969) is a Finnish-American software engineer, who is the creator of the Linux kernel and for a long time, principal developer; that became the kernel for operating systems (and many distributions of each), such as GNU and years later Android and Chrome OS. He also created the distributed revision control system git. He was honored, along with Shinya Yamanaka, with the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland "in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel". He is also the recipient of the 2014 IEEE Computer Society Computer Pioneer Award.
Torvalds was born in Helsinki, Finland. He is the son of journalists Anna and Nils Torvalds, and the grandson of statistician Leo Törnqvist and of poet Ole Torvalds. Both of his parents were campus radicals at the University of Helsinki in the 1960s. His family belongs to the Swedish-speaking minority. Torvalds was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize–winning American chemist, although in the book Rebel Code Linux and the Open Source Revolution, Torvalds is quoted as saying, "I think I was named equally for Linus the Peanuts cartoon character", noting that this makes him half "Nobel Prize–winning chemist" and half "blanket-carrying cartoon character".
His interest in computers began with a Commodore VIC-20, at the age of 11 in 1981, initially programming in BASIC – and later in assembly language. After the VIC-20 he purchased a Sinclair QL, which he modified extensively, especially its operating system. "Because it was so hard to get software for it in Finland, Linus wrote his own assembler and editor (in addition to Pac-Man graphics libraries)" for the QL, as well as a few games. He is known to have written a Pac-Man clone named Cool Man. On January 5, 1991 he purchased an Intel 80386-based clone of IBM PC before receiving his MINIX copy, which in turn enabled him to begin work on Linux. The first prototypes of Linux were publicly released later that year. Version 1.0 was released on March 14, 1994. Torvalds first encountered the GNU Project in 1991, after another Swedish-speaking computer science student Lars Wirzenius took him to the University of Technology to listen to free software-guru Richard Stallman's speech. Torvalds used Stallman's General Public License version 2 (GPLv2) for his Linux kernel.

The City has a plan to combat climate change
Climate change has a profound effect on the environment, as well as on the sustainable development of a city.
by Charl PienaarMBOMBELA – The City of Mbombela Local Municipality (CMLM) takes the change of weather patterns seriously and has adopted a Climate Change Response Strategy and Implementation Plan (CCRSIP) approved by Council in September 2018.
Siphiwe Ngelo, the spokesman for CMLM, told Lowvelder that the plan, “gives a detailed account of all vulnerable areas and proposes climate actions for each sector, in order to reduce the associated risks. It is meant to drive the city’s transition towards a green economy.
The climate change vision for CMLM, according to the CCRSIP is, “to create a municipality resilient to climate change that is committed to sustainable development and greening solutions to drive future economic and community development, in both the rural and urban sectors of the City.”
The CCRSIP report indicates that the region’s rainfall has historically been between October and March, with an average of 100 precipitation days. Unpredictable rainfall patterns due to climate change will potentially hamper the CMLM’s current economic sectors’ productivity and could exacerbate its current socioeconomic conditions.
Long-Term Adaptation Research Programmes (LTAs) as well as regional modelling done for the province suggest that an increase in evaporation rates will leave the landscape drier. However this also suggests that the CMLM will encounter increased rainfall, particularly in the high-lying areas, including White River and Kaapsehoop, and more frequent and intense rainfall occurrences.
ALSO READ: Natural gas, false hope in climate change campaign?
One concern is flooding and flash flooding, particularly in low-lying settlements, with as many as 33 per cent of CMLM’s human settlements currently lying within the floodplains and in close proximity to powerful rivers.
The report also suggested that according to the CMLM’s Rapid Vulnerability Assessment (RVA) on water resources and water supply, the system is highly sensitive to climate changes.
The current constraints listed by the plan to keep up with the water demands of the City is due to a significant growth in the area over the past decade which is expected to continue as the population grows. Insufficient planning and funding around the water supply and treatment for the area was also cited as a concern.
ALSO READ: Climate change poses ‘lifelong’ child health risk
The adaptive capacity of the City is described as low by the CCRSIP, regarding water supply issues which may worsen due to climate change, due to the following factors:
- The water service infrastructure is old and requires significant upgrading in order for the municipality to adapt to current stresses.
- Poor or ineffectual planning currently in place.
ALSO READ: Major UN report warns only 12 years left to curb climate change
Ngelo urges the citizens of Mbombela to reduce their emission of greenhouse gases in their daily activities. They are furthermore encouraged to avoid biomass burning and to plant indigenous trees for carbon storage. Renewable energy sources, like solar energy, should also be embraced and employed
