All schools in England are required to have a published complaints procedure. If you wish to make a complaint about a teacher, you should follow this procedure in the first instance.
Please refer to our guide
Complain about your child’s state school
for details on the complaints procedure.
Regulation of teacher misconduct
In cases of serious teacher misconduct where you have already been through all the local complaints procedures, you can make a referral to the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL), which is an executive agency of the Department for Education.
NCTL is responsible for regulating the teaching profession in England. We investigate cases of serious teacher misconduct and decide whether to refer a case to a professional conduct panel. The panel then investigates whether a prohibition order should be issued.
Regulations
The Education Act 2011
gives responsibility, from 1 April 2012, to the Secretary of State for Education to regulate the teaching profession in England and to hold a list of teachers who have been prohibited from teaching.
The Teachers’ Disciplinary (England) Regulations 2012 (the Regulations)
as amended by
The Teachers’ Disciplinary (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2014
provide information about the arrangements. NCTL operates these on behalf of the Secretary of State.
These regulations apply to all people carrying out teaching work in England, covering:
-
all schools
-
sixth form colleges
-
children’s homes
-
youth accommodation
They cover cases of serious misconduct. This is when a teacher’s behaviour:
-
is fundamentally incompatible with being a teacher
-
could lead to them being prohibited from teaching
The regulations don’t cover the cases of less serious misconduct, incompetence or under-performance. A teacher’s employer should deal with these cases.
Professional conduct panels
Panel members are recruited through a public appointments process. A panel consists of 3 members, and will include: a teacher, or someone who has been a teacher in the previous 5 years; and a layperson, specifically not from the teaching profession. The third panel member may be a person who has taught previously, but does not currently meet the ‘teacher panellist’ criteria and will be referred to as a ‘former teacher panellist’.
We will appoint one panellist to act as chair.
A legal adviser is present to advise the panel on the legal process. They can’t be a member of the Department for Education and will take no part in the decision-making process.
The teacher will be able to submit relevant evidence and will be given the opportunity to comment on all the evidence that NCTL is considering relating to their case. For more detailed information, please see these publications.
Teacher misconduct: information for teachers
Teacher misconduct: the prohibition of teachers
Teacher misconduct: disciplinary procedures
Panel hearings
Details of
forthcoming hearings
will be published 5 working days before they are due to take place.
Hearings are usually held in public and can be observed by members of the press and the public. However, they may sometimes be held in private, for example to protect children or vulnerable witnesses. For more information on observing hearings, please see
Teacher misconduct: information for observers
.
The teacher may appear in person and/or be represented by someone else. Both the teacher and the person presenting the case may call witnesses. Please see
Teacher misconduct: information for witnesses
for more detailed information.
In certain circumstances, where the teacher agrees the facts of the case, the case may be considered without a hearing.
The panel will consider all the evidence and decide whether there has been:
-
unacceptable professional conduct
-
conduct that may bring the profession into disrepute
-
a conviction, at any time, of a relevant criminal offence
If the panel decides that there has been any of the above, it will make a recommendation to the Secretary of State. A senior NCTL official will decide on behalf of the Secretary of State whether a prohibition order is appropriate.
Hearing outcomes
We will notify the teacher before the full written decision is published on this website. If a prohibition order is imposed, the individual’s name will appear on the prohibited list.
A list of
hearing outcomes
is available.
Employer access
is a free service available for schools, local authorities and teacher supply agencies in England.
The service enables employers and potential employers to view the record of any teacher with qualified teacher status (QTS) (with the exception of teachers who have achieved QTS through holding qualified teacher learning and skills (QTLS)) or any teacher with an active restriction (including any teacher with QTLS to whom this applies).
 It means that the person can’t undertake teaching work in any school, sixth form college, children’s home or youth accommodation in England.
The primary purpose of a prohibition order is to:
-
protect pupils
-
maintain public confidence in the teaching profession
-
uphold proper standards of conduct
Where an individual is prohibited, their details will appear on the prohibited list.
In exceptional cases, we may decide that an allegation is so serious that the teacher should not teach while the case is being investigated and concluded. We may then impose an interim prohibition order.
Appeals
A teacher may appeal against a prohibition order within 28 days of the date a notice was served. They need to apply to the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court under Part 52 of the Civil Procedure Rules.
A lawyer is not required to lodge an appeal, although it may be beneficial to speak to a legal professional. Appeals cannot be made to NCTL, the Department for Education or the Secretary of State. However, the person appealing should serve a copy of the appeal notice, together with copies of any other documents they have filed in the High Court, on the Secretary of State within the period specified by the court.
Applications to set aside a prohibition order following a review period
When the Secretary of State decides that a prohibition order is appropriate, the prohibition applies for life.
However, under some circumstances and after a minimum of 2 years, the Secretary of State may allow a teacher to apply for the prohibition order to be removed. This would only be possible following a recommendation by a professional conduct panel.
Please see
Application for a prohibition order to be set aside

Using AWS Lambda with Amazon S3
You can use Lambda to process event notifications from Amazon Simple Storage Service. Amazon S3 can send an event to a Lambda function when an object is created or deleted. You configure notification settings on a bucket, and grant Amazon S3 permission to invoke a function on the function's resource-based permissions policy.
If your Lambda function uses the same bucket that triggers it, it could cause the function to run in a loop. For example, if the bucket triggers a function each time an object is uploaded, and the function uploads an object to the bucket, then the function indirectly triggers itself. To avoid this, use two buckets, or configure the trigger to only apply to a prefix used for incoming objects.
Amazon S3 invokes your function asynchronously with an event that contains details about the object. The following example shows an event that Amazon S3 sent when a deployment package was uploaded to Amazon S3.
Example Amazon S3 notification event
{ "Records": [ { "eventVersion": "2.1", "eventSource": "aws:s3", "awsRegion": "us-east-2", "eventTime": "2019-09-03T19:37:27.192Z", "eventName": "ObjectCreated:Put", "userIdentity": { "principalId": "AWS:AIDAINPONIXQXHT3IKHL2" }, "requestParameters": { "sourceIPAddress": "<IP_ADDRESS>" }, "responseElements": { "x-amz-request-id": "D82B88E5F771F645", "x-amz-id-2": "vlR7PnpV2Ce81l0PRw6jlUpck7Jo5ZsQjryTjKlc5aLWGVHPZLj5NeC6qMa0emYBDXOo6QBU0Wo=" }, "s3": { "s3SchemaVersion": "1.0", "configurationId": "828aa6fc-f7b5-4305-8584-487c791949c1", "bucket": { "name": "
lambda-artifacts-deafc19498e3f2df
", "ownerIdentity": { "principalId": "A3I5XTEXAMAI3E" }, "arn": "arn:aws:s3:::lambda-artifacts-deafc19498e3f2df" }, "object": { "key": "b21b84d653bb07b05b1e6b33684dc11b
", "size": 1305107, "eTag": "b21b84d653bb07b05b1e6b33684dc11b", "sequencer": "0C0F6F405D6ED209E1" } } } ] }
To invoke your function, Amazon S3 needs permission from the function's resource-based policy. When you configure an Amazon S3 trigger in the Lambda console, the console modifies the resource-based policy to allow Amazon S3 to invoke the function if the bucket name and account ID match. If you configure the notification in Amazon S3, you use the Lambda API to update the policy. You can also use the Lambda API to grant permission to another account, or restrict permission to a designated alias.
If your function uses the AWS SDK to manage Amazon S3 resources, it also needs Amazon S3 permissions in its execution role.

Use the search box below to select an entry or click the button to populate the box with a random {{context_type}}.
The color bands within each article's row show the topic distribution within that article, and the relative sizes of each band indicates the weight of that topic in the article. The total width of each row indicates similarity to the focal topic or document, measured by the quantity sim(doc) = 1 – JSD(doc, ), where JSD is the Jensen-Shannon distance between the word probability distributions of each item. Each topic's label is arbitrarily assigned, while the color corresponds to the topic's oscillation across documents. Both label and color are consistent across articles in the browser.
Display options include topic normalization, alphabetical sort and topic sort. By normalizing topics, the combined width of each bar expands so that topic weights per document can be compared. By clicking a topic, the documents will reorder acoording to that topic's weight and topic bars will reorder according to the topic weights in the highest weighted document. When a topic is selected, clicking "Top Documents for [Topic]" will take you to a new page showing the most similar documents to that topic's word distribution. The original sort order can be restored with the "Reset Topic Sort" button.
This data was generated using the InPhO VSM module's LDA implementation. See Wikipedia: Latent Dirichlet Allocation for more on the LDA topic modeling approach or "Probabilistic Topic Models" (Blei, 2012) for a recent review.

ELIZABETH (1998) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Shekhar Kapur Writer: Michael Hirst Starring: Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush, Christopher Eccleston, Joseph Fiennes, Richard Attenborough, Fanny Ardant, Kathy Burke, Eric Cantona, James Frain, Vincent Cassel, Daniel Craig, Kelly MacDonald, John Gielgud
Flat out, "Elizabeth is a wonderful flick: as gorgeous to look at as a Peter Greenaway film and as delightful to follow as a Stephen Frears movie. It's bold, lavish, mischevious, and downright entertaining, but those aren't the reasons it's so good. At the center of this film is a performance of such immense power and complexity that perhaps we don't fully comprehend the greatness now. Cate Blanchett's performance as the title character has already won her tons of accolades, a Golden Globe nomination, and an almost sure-fire bet at nabbing an Oscar nod (she better look out, though - back in 1995, when Nicole Kidman was considered a sure-fire bet for an Oscar, she was snubbed come February from even a nomination), but her performance still isn't as well-received as it should be.
I think it's such a good performance because it's one of the few performances by an actress in quite a while to actually be really complicated. She doesn't allow her character to be easily defined by audiences and critics - she shows all her flaws, all her strengths, and puts her character up for complex scrutiny and still remains mysterious. She does it all without overacting or underacting - she's just right on. She's sympathetic yet still a bit untrustworthy. She's definitely a force to be reckoned, but seems easy to crush. And she acts like the coolest person in the world, tossing out jokes to those she works with, but is still a little frightened girl underneath. Maybe the best scene in the movie is one where we see two scenes juxtaposed: one where she's speaking to parliament, cracking sarcastic jokes, and winning them over; and another where she's preparing for this, nervoulsy trying to come up with the right thing to say and the right way to say it.
She's also the anchor in this entire film, which isn't, admittingly, the greatest film I've ever seen. The problem I think is that while the film is setting up her character and her situations, it never truly functions as a real cohesive story. I said it was fun to follow, but it's not the plot you're to follow, but rather the fact that deeds like the ones that transpire in this film transpire at all. Deceptions, beheadings, burnings, and other sorts of treachery abound, and all with the perfect visual flair from director Shekhar Kapur (I especially liked the scene in the beginning where a group of protestants are burned alive - the camera sweeps up, then cuts to various scenes below as members of the audience react with either displeasure or with just the right amount of taste that they toss another log onto the fire). For a lot of the film, I wasn't even exactly sure why they were being killed or people were being avenged - I was just along for the ride.
This biopic on Elizabeth I deals with her first years on the throne, following her half-sister's demise, and it perfectly captures the turmoil England was in at the time, when Henry VIII had brought the country to near Civil War between the Protestants and the Catholics, and both sides were fighting eachother for power. Elizabeth claims the throne after a fit with her sister of her possible execution for being a suspected Protestant, when all the time she was really just in the moderate view on things, and once there, is forced to bring peace between the two groups, and to learn her way around the country as she went.
Equipped with many advisors (including one Richard Attenborough) and one extremely devious assistant who helps her manipulate her way to peace, Sir Francis Walshingham (Geoffrey Rush), who is so incredibly evil that we can't help but love him for being evil for Elizabeth. All this plays around for two hours, as we watch these characters play off one another, try to figure out how the pull the country out of a state of disaray, and punish those who need to be punished (including the Catholic with a vengeance Duke of Norfolk, played with intensity by Christopher Eccleston). All the while, she has to balance all that with her relationship for an older lover, Robert Dudley (Joseph Fiennes, brother to Ralph), who may not be around in her life much longer.
That said, "Elizabeth" is a wild ride, albeit a confusing one. The plot moves without stops and there is much that is a) not explained very well (what the hell happened to Robert?), and b) is historically inaccurate (a bit involving the death of Mary of Guise is hilariously askew). But despite this, "Elizabeth" is about as fun a film to watch as "Dangerous Liasons" or "L.A. Confidential," if solely because the things that transpire are handled with wit, and strong visual flair. And at the center is Cate Blanchett, who shows Elizabeth to be a real human being, flaws and all: she's not a terrifically great person, but she's smart and quick to learn, and has the lack of self-involvement to realize that the problems with the country lie in the fact that the Catholics and Protestants are too hell-bent on both being right, and if she has to pervert things to fix this up, she better damn well do it.

Overview¶
ClusterGB is a set of Python scripts designed to facilitate easy calculations of planar grain boundaries (GBs) using the Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator (LAMMPS). In order to accommodate even low-symmetry boundaries, ClusterGB uses vacuum clusters to eliminate the need for periodic boundary conditions.
The user first begins a Project
to specify a material (i.e. an empirical
potential and a species it treats), then inside this Project
creates a series of
Jobs
–one for each GB to be studied.
Initializing a new Job
generates a GB structure file with the requested GB character and
(stochastically) minimized microscopic degrees of freedom. From here various cgb_run_*
scripts can be called from
either the Job
or Project
level of the hierarchy to
calculate properties of a particular GB or all the GBs in the project, respectively. An important example is
calculating the segregation energy of a solute species to each site at the GB, which can be done with the
cgb_run_monosegregation.py script.
ClusterGB can accommodate any macroscopic GB character, but currently only works for single-species host structures with FCC or BCC crystal structure, and relies on LAMMPS with Embedded Atom Method potentials with “alloy” or “Finnis-Sinclair” formatting.
If you are instead interested in GB structures with periodic boundary conditions, please check out oekosheri’s GB_code.
Science¶
Each GB is constructed in the yz-plane of a large vacuum cluster by choosing the GB macroscopic character and minimizing its microscopic degrees of freedom. The GB character can be specified using either the shared axis \(\langle{} ijk \rangle{}\), the relative misorientation about this axis \(\theta\) (in degrees), and the GB normal plane \((lmn)\) (for the left grain), XOR by explicitly providing two rotation matrices, one for each grain (as in Olmsted et al., Acta Mat 57 (2009)).
Note
\(\langle ijk \rangle\) and \((lmn)\) do NOT need to have integer values! GBs in ClusterGB are not bound by periodic boundary conditions, so choose any values you’d like. However, if the boundary you choose doesn’t repeat periodically inside the cluster, note that you’re simply sampling some portion of a larger boundary.
In the former case, the appropriate Bravais vectors are found for each grain by misorienting an initial set of Bravais vectors (according to the crystal type) by \(\theta / 2\) degrees in either direction about the vector \(\langle{} ijk \rangle{}\). Both sets of vectors are then rotated in tandem until \((lmn)\) in the coordinates of the first set point along the x-axis of the original, global coordinates. In the latter case, the two rotation matrices are applied to the original Bravais vectors directly.
Once the Bravais vectors have been found, two spheres of atoms are constructed and the left half of one (along the x-axis) is taken as the first grain, and the right half of the other is the second grain. These are merged into a single cluster with a flat GB in the yz-plane.
Next, the microscopic degrees of freedom are minimized by a combination of a stochastic search in translation+merging space, annealing, and force minimization.
Because ClusterGB uses a cluster geometry and is not restricted to GBs with high symmetry, we have no guarantee that the displacement shift complete lattice will be readily available, thus GB interfacial energy minimization by translation of one grain with respect to another is performed in a stochastic way using the simultateous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA). As the name suggests, this simply minimizes the objective (GB energy) in a particular space (three translations, and a merge distance within which atoms from opposite grains are merged).
For computational efficiency, SPSA minimization is decoupled from the annealing process; SPSA generates a new GB cluster with some translations and merge distance and simply minimizes the forces before evaluating the energy. The best found structure is kept.
Using this best found structure, the second minimization step is an anneal-quench-minimize process. For a specified amount of time, the cluster is run using molecular dynamics (MD) at the specified temperature. Several times through this annealing, the simulation will be forked.  The forked quenching process that gives the lowest GB energy is stored.
Details of this optimization process can be chosen when setting up a new
Project
.
Finally, the result is a vacuum cluster of atoms containing a GB of the requested character with microscopic degrees of freedom stochastically optimized to have GB energy near the global minima. More expensive optimization parameters (more SPSA trials, longer annealing, etc) are more likely to give a structure closer to the global minima. It is possible that the annealing process will have introduced a small amount of faceting in the boundary, but unless you use exceptionally long annealing times and high temperatures, the GB should be relatively planar and sit in the yz-plane.
The most important free parameters in this computational framework are the radius of the cluster, and the radius of a smaller sub-sphere with the same center. Only atoms inside this smaller subsphere are used when calculating GB energies, and a common neighbour analysis search for GB sites to consider is restricted to this sub-sphere. If the difference between these inner and outer radii is too small, GB interfacial energy and site properties (e.g. solute segregation energy) can be erroneously impacted by surface effects. If the difference in radii is too large, the calculation becomes needlessly expensive.
Architecture¶
In addition to writing human-readable structure and log files, the main forms of data persistence for ClusterGB are
Project
and Job
Python objects, which are saved using
pickle.
A reference diagram of the object structure is provided below. Executables are represented by trapezoids, the
Project
and Jobs
classes by hexagons, Python
Namespaces
by ovals, and all other data types by boxes. The bold line indicates that parameters par
for
Jobs
are simply copied from the parent Project
, and
dotted lines indicate the result of an executable (or one of its flags). Colour is used selectively to guide the eye.
Large boxes group together related nodes and are labeled by their access path.

StbxEngine
Simple 2D Graphic engine powered by SFML
|
The GUI module provides all kind of drawable on screen elements, used for in-game HUD, menus, interaction panels, inventory...
Every supported Item is described in the next section XML reference.
The GUI module is accessible through the Engine class, which has a public pointer to it
stb::Engine::instance->gui //or accessible via a single "gui" in your inherited Engine.
It uses "screens" mechanism, which consists of XML Layouts: Each screen in defined inside an XML file (a single file may be used to store all screens) linked between themselves via interaction with buttons, or others GUIElements.
You can easily change to a screen by calling the gui method:
stb::Engine::instance->gui->changeScreen("ScreenID");
where ScreenID is the corresponding ID set inside the XML file.
NOTE: If the file storing the menu has a different name than ScreenID, you must add its name as second argument to changeScreen method as follows
stb::Engine::instance->gui->changeScreen("ScreenID", "ScreenFile");
Following what you have read in the last section, you may want to create your own screens as of now.
To do so, create any XML file in your binary file tree, and open it with your favourite editor.
First of all, you want to define the screen.
<screen id="main"> </screen>
This screen is already loadable into the GUI module, but first, lets add some background image, of name "lucky"
<screen id="main" background="lucky"> </screen>
Now, understand that we added a background but we could have added any option supported in the next section table at the corresponding container and type.
We will for example add a basic menu inside our "main" screen.
<screen id="main" background="lucky"> <text text="title" font="default" /> <pair> <text text="name:" font="default" /> <edit width="100px" /> </pair> <button text="ok" font="default" /> </screen>
Now if we load this menu, we can hopefully input text in the edit, and click button, but nothing is usable as is. We have to link button to action, and give some id to elements we want to extract data later on.

Here is a valid example screen.xml:
<screen id="main" background="background"> <panel x="25%" spacing="5%"> <text text="Menu" font="glitch" /> <pair spacing="100"> <text text="toggle" font="glitch" /> <toggleButton text="OFF" activetext="ON" font="glitch" /> </pair> <pair spacing="100px"> <text text="slider" font="glitch" /> <slider /> </pair> <pair spacing="100"> <text text="edit" font="glitch" /> <edit font="glitch"/> </pair> <pair spacing="100"> <text text="checkbox" font="glitch" /> <checkbox /> </pair> <pair spacing="100"> <text text="setting" font="glitch" /> <settingButton text="Set" font="glitch"> <setting text="Set2" /> <setting text="Set3" /> <setting text="Set4" /> </settingButton> </pair> <button text="Apply" font="glitch"/> <button text="Back" font="glitch" target="alt"/> </panel> </screen>


The art of rest, hive minds, and traversing Canada: Books in brief
Andrew Robinson reviews five of the week’s best science picks.
by Andrew RobinsonThe Art of Rest
Claudia Hammond Canongate (2019)
In 2014, journalist Claudia Hammond, presenter of BBC Radio 4’s All in the Mind, joined a group studying rest at London’s Wellcome Collection. She proposed a radio survey called the Rest Test. Responses from 18,000 people in 135 countries yielded a top ten of restful activities, and they inspire the titles of her informative chapters interlacing findings from dozens of studies. Intriguingly, the top five are largely solitary. Number one is reading, which “not only allows us to escape other people, but simultaneously provides us with company”, she notes.
Artificial You
Susan Schneider Princeton University Press (2019)
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology will raise increasingly difficult ethical issues, argues philosopher, cognitive scientist and self-confessed technotopian Susan Schneider in this demanding dialogue between philosophy and science. How would you feel, she begins speculatively, about purchasing a “Hive Mind” — a brain chip permitting you to experience the innermost thoughts of your loved ones? That presumes, however, that future AI can capture consciousness with computation — which she argues is unlikely.
Are Men Animals?
Matthew Gutmann Basic (2019)
Anthropologist Matthew Gutmann has spent 30 years exploring concepts of masculinity across the United States, Latin America and China. “We place unreasonable trust in biological explanations of male behaviour,” he argues in this wide-ranging book, which discusses US mass killings by men, Donald Trump’s presidency and much more. Yet, he contends, there have been no major discoveries of a link between testosterone and aggression since 1990, despite a boom in scientific articles on the topic.
When the Earth Had Two Moons
Erik Asphaug Custom House (2019)
The days of the week are named after bodies in the Solar System and a diverse mix of Norse and Roman deities. So notes Erik Asphaug, a planetary scientist who is part of the team behind two lunar and planetary NASA missions. But if the planets were born out of material orbiting the Sun, like raindrops condensing from a cloud, why do they differ so much in structure and chemical composition? This detailed book assesses the astronomical and geological evidence on the origin of planetary diversity.
Beyond the Trees
Adam Shoalts Allen Lane (2019)
In 1967, the centennial of Canada’s confederation, ten teams of canoeists paddled from central Alberta to Montreal. In mid-2017, to mark the 150th anniversary, explorer, historian and geographer Adam Shoalts travelled across the Canadian Arctic by canoe and on foot. His journey took him from the Yukon to Nunavut: across the terrestrial world’s largest expanse of wilderness outside Antarctica. It proved less stressful than his normal “modern, hyper-connected world”, he avers in his engaging, hazard-strewn account.

PyTorch Connectomics documentation¶
PyTorch Connectomics is a deep learning framework for automatic and semi-automatic annotation of connectomics datasets, powered by PyTorch.
Note
This package is under development and should not be considered as formally released.
The field of connectomics aims to reconstruct the wiring diagram of the brain by mapping the neural connections at the level of individual synapses. Recent advances in electronic microscopy (EM) have enabled the collection of a large number of image stacks at nanometer resolution, but the annotation requires expertise and is super time-consuming.
PyTorch Connectomics consists of various deep learning based object detection, semantic segmentation and instance segmentation methods for the annotation and analysis of 3D image stacks. In addition, it consists of an easy-to-use data augmentation interface, tutorials on several common benchmark datasets, and helpful image stack processing functions, both for reproducing state-of-the-art results on benchmark datasets, and labelling large-scale volumes.

The Rails framework provides a large number of helpers for working with assets, dates, forms, numbers and Active Record objects, to name a few. These helpers are available to all templates by default.
In addition to using the standard template helpers provided in the Rails framework, creating custom helpers to extract complicated logic or reusable functionality is strongly encouraged. By default, the controller will include a helper whose name matches that of the controller, e.g., MyController will automatically include MyHelper.
Additional helpers can be specified using the helper class method in ActionController::Base or any controller which inherits from it.
Examples
The to_s method from the Time class can be wrapped in a helper method to display a custom message if the Time object is blank:
module FormattedTimeHelper def format_time(time, format=:long, blank_message=" ") time.blank? ? blank_message : time.to_s(format) end end
FormattedTimeHelper can now be included in a controller, using the helper class method:
class EventsController < ActionController::Base helper FormattedTimeHelper def index @events = Event.find(:all) end end
Then, in any view rendered by EventController, the format_time method can be called:
<% @events.each do |event| -%> <p> <% format_time(event.time, :short, "N/A") %> | <%= event.name %> </p> <% end -%>
Finally, assuming we have two event instances, one which has a time and one which does not, the output might look like this:

The helper class method can take a series of helper module names, a block, or both.
- *args: One or more modules, strings or symbols, or the special symbol :all.
- &block: A block defining helper methods.
Examples
When the argument is a string or symbol, the method will provide the "_helper" suffix, require the file and include the module in the template class. The second form illustrates how to include custom helpers when working with namespaced controllers, or other cases where the file containing the helper definition is not in one of Rails’ standard load paths:
helper :foo # => requires 'foo_helper' and includes FooHelper helper 'resources/foo' # => requires 'resources/foo_helper' and includes Resources::FooHelper
When the argument is a module it will be included directly in the template class.
helper FooHelper # => includes FooHelper
When the argument is the symbol :all, the controller will include all helpers beneath ActionController::Base.helpers_dir (defaults to app/helpers/**/*.rb under RAILS_ROOT).
helper :all
Additionally, the helper class method can receive and evaluate a block, making the methods defined available to the template.
# One line helper { def hello() "Hello, world!" end } # Multi-line helper do def foo(bar) "#{bar} is the very best" end end
Finally, all the above styles can be mixed together, and the helper method can be invoked with a mix of symbols, strings, modules and blocks.
helper(:three, BlindHelper) { def mice() 'mice' end }

Declares helper accessors for controller attributes. For example, the following adds new name and name= instance methods to a controller and makes them available to the view:

Declare a controller method as a helper. For example, the following makes the current_user controller method available to the view:
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base helper_method :current_user, :logged_in? def current_user @current_user ||= User.find_by_id(session[:user]) end def logged_in? current_user != nil end end
In a view:

We bring raw milk straight from our indigenous breed of cows to your house just as our healthy cows give us and then into hygienic bottles,seal them and deliver at your doorstep. This is unlike the processed pasteurised milk that many consume today.Our milk has no added colors or chemicals and is neither dilated just as pure as mother 's milk
Cow's milk is about 87 percent water and 13 percent solids—the solids being a combination of fat, carbohydrates in the form of lactose, minerals and protein. The major component of the milk proteins is casein; in turn about 30-35 percent of the casein (equivalent to two teaspoons in a litre of milk) is beta-casein, of which there are several varieties, determined by the genes of the cow. The most common of these variants are A1 and A2.
A1 beta-casein protein can cause digestive issues. A1 milk releases a peptide called (BetaCaso - Morphine 7) BCM7 which is not broken down into amino acids making it impossible to digest. Many studies have linked consumption of A1 milk to diseases like diabetes, coronary heart disease, autism, schizophrenia, etc.
Those cows whose milk contains A1 type protein are termed as A1 cows. The widely spread Holstein Friesian (HF) and Jersey cows produce A1 type milk.
Milk derived from desi cows is good for the body, mind and soul. Milk is an important source of calcium, protien & fat. A2 milk is the natural milk from our desi cows which is easy to digest and helps increase immunity, it is so called "stomach - approved" milk and helps fight various diseases. Some people have had the experience that their digestive problems, diabetes, cholesterol issues, etc have disappeared from changing to A2 milk.
Cows have been domesticated for time immemorial. Mother nature wisely selected breeds of cows suitable for a certain region. Human intervention has led to the current crisis where native breeds have been completely ignored or wiped out. Traditional Indian breeds like Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, Tharparkar, etc are less prone to diseases & have higher protein content in their milk.
Desi cows have a distinct hump on the back while HF/Jersey cows do not. This is the easiest way to identify a desi cow.


Man due in court in connection with Christopher Nicol death in Greenock flat
The 43-year-old has been arrested and charged after the dad was stabbed in Maple Drive.
by Cheryl McEvoyA man has been charged following the death of a dad in his home in Greenock.
The 43-year-old is due to appear at the town's sheriff court later today in connection with the attack on Christopher Nicol, who was stabbed in Maple Road.
The 27-year-old died at the scene at 9.15pm on September 26, sparking a major police investigation.
Police confirmed the arrest this morning, just days after Christopher's mum Karen Nicol spoke of the family's heartache his death.
She said: "The children doted on him and he doted on them.
"He used to say he was lost between a Monday and Friday without the kids.
"He had them all during the school holidays and took them to safari parks, trips to the seaside, down to Largs.
"It wasn't just money he was spending on them, he enjoyed being with them."
A report has been sent to the procurator fiscal.

Although this strategy passes several of the metrics required for Alpha Streams and the Quant League competition, it requires further work to pass the following requirements:


--- layout: article title: OpusTeX permalink: opustex.html comments: true ---
Nota Bene: OpusTeX is unmaintained. This page remains in case it helps, but you are Strongly Recommended to use Gregorio instead.
I've heard that TeXShell is available for Linux, but
I still use Emacs. If you're using Debian you can probably
handle the command line interface. TeX practically
comes as standard, so much of my instructions are
redundant there. Skip straight to Testing
OpusTeX.
For Windows
You will need:
MikTeX or ProTeXt
which are versions of TeX for windows,
available on CD and the
opustex
libraries to make TeX do music.
In addition I recommend TeXShell a useful little text editor which can be used instead of Notepad and the DOS prompt. I'll just put the instructions for using TeXShell at the moment.
First you install MikTex. The defaults are very wise, so if in doubt, leave them as they are.
Once the TeX wizard is finished you'll need a way to test the system. This will be much easier with the help of a little program called TeXShell. Make a folder for it under Program Files and call it Texshell. Move the file WinTeXShell32.zip from the cdrom into this new directory and unzip it. Make a shortcut for TeXShell.exe for your Start Menu and its done.
Open TeXShell and first of all start customizing it. Click on Options from the menu bar and select Program Calls. Replace 'latex --src-specials %F.tex' with just 'tex %F.tex'. Click OK and now its ready to run.
Start a new file (File -> New) and type in a few words. Keep paragraphs separated by a blank line, and avoid special characters like &, $, %. You can learn about what to do about them later. Finish your file with:
\endSave your new tex file. Now click the TeX button. You should catch a glimpse of the DOS Prompt before disappears. Now click Preview. Hopefully you can see your work looking a little more printable.
One thing to try if something doesn't work is rebooting
the computer.
Installing OpusTeX
Installing opustex is not as scary as I make it sound.
You'll have a directory called c:/localtexmf.
You'll need to make a few subdirectories for it.
First of all make two new directories in localtexmf:
fonts and tex. So now you have c:/localtexmf/fonts and
c:/localtexmf/tex. Now inside fonts make two more directories:
tfm and source. So now you have c:/localtexmf/fonts/source and
c:/localtexmf/fonts/tfm. Now make an opustex directory in each
of c:/localtexmf/tex, c:/localtexmf/fonts/source, c:/localtexmf/fonts/tfm.
Unzip the opustex zip file, either opus084.zip or opus093.zip. Copy all the .tfm files to c:/localtexmf/fonts/tfm/opustex. Copy all the .mf files to c:/localtexmf/fonts/source/opustex. Copy all the .tex and .sty files to c:/localtexmf/tex/opustex.
If you have opusflex.exe, copy it to c:/texmf/miktex/bin. If you only have opusflex.c you'll need to compile it or find someone like me who has opusflex.exe already.
Now, go to Start -> Programs -> Miktex -> Miktex Options and click the refresh button.
Now it's time to customise TeXShell again. You'll need to edit c:\Program Files\TeXShell\TeXShell.ini. You can use TeXShell itself to do this, or Notepad. Scroll down to where it says:
[Buttons]and to the end of that paragraph add:
Opusflex=$Opusflex Main File$opusflex "%F.tex" CleanUp=$Remove Opusflex's Temp Files$cleanoxen [External Programs] Opusflex=opusflex %F.tex CleanUp=cleanoxenThe cleanoxen is a work around for a little oddity of OpusTeX. In the normal course of processing your music OpusTeX makes some auxiliary files that need to be deleted manually if you change the music. For some reason putting CleanUp=del *.ox* doesn't work so I made a new file called cleanoxen.bat containing:
del *.ox*and moved cleanoxen.bat to c:\texmf\miktex\bin. Which is what you should do to.
Restart TeXShell if need be and start another new file.
Testing OpusTeX
Now, start TeXShell again. Type in the following:
\input opustex \input opusgre \setgregorian1 \initiumgregorianum \sgn Con\punctum a\egn \sgn {gr}at\punctum b\egn \sgn {}ul\punctum a\egn \sgn {}at\pes Na\egn \sgn io{ns!}\punctum a\augmentum b\egn \Finisgregoriana \endand save.
Processing music is just a little more complicated than text, so this time you need to click TeX, then Opusflex, and then TeX again. Cross you fingers and click Preview to see the result.
For future changes to the music you need to clean up the temporary
files that opusflex leaves behind. To do this press the CleanUp button
then go through the usual process of TeX, Opusflex, TeX, Preview.

An Outline
The documentation for OpusTeX is somewhat lacking.
Here I'll try to give you a brief outline of how I use it.
Let's go through the test file and change it a little.
The first two lines call the opustex libraries.
\input opustex \input opusgreThese lines should go at the beginning of your gregorian chant file.
The next part I'll call the preamble. \setgregorian1 tells TeX that the first staff of this piece is in gregorian chant. It calls in all the default settings, and puts the c-clef sign on the third line up.
All the lines between \initiumgregorianum and \Finisgregoriana I'll call the body of the piece. Each line starts with \sgn and ends with \egn, (Start Gregorian Note and End Gregorian Note respectively). In between come two parts, the words and the music. The word part contains the syllable in three parts.
\sgn {first part}{middle part}{last part}\punctum a\egn
OpusTeX lines up each syllable carefully with the respective neume. The vowel of the syllable is the middle part of the syllable and OpusTeX will line this up under the neume. Consonants before and after the vowel go in the first part and last part respectively.
If any one of these parts consists of exactly one letter or punctuation mark, no curly braces, {} are needed. For example:
\sgn Con\punctum a\egnIf one of these parts contains no letter, then {} takes the place.
\sgn {}ul\punctum a\egnIf a part contains several letters or punctuation marks then the curly braces groups the part together.
\sgn io{ns!}\punctum a\augmentum b\egn
So now you have an idea about how opustex works. I could
go on and on from here, and maybe one day I will.
For now I'll leave you with my guide to all the neumes
available in my
Quick Reference Guide.
The Preamble
I told I'd go on, so here's the next installment:
I mentioned the preamble before, it comes between \setgregorian1 and \initiumgregorianum. Let's modify the example we had before to illustrate.
\input opustex \input opusgre \setgregorian1 \raisesong3\Internote \musicindent12mm \nosolesmescustos \setclef14 \initiumgregorianum \sgn Con\punctum a\egn \sgn {gr}at\punctum b\egn \sgn {}ul\punctum a\egn \sgn {}at\pes Na\egn \sgn io{ns!}\punctum a\augmentum b\egn \Finisgregoriana \endLet's go through the additions one at a time. \raisesong3\Internote changes the vertical postition of the lyrics. \Internote is a unit of measure of the height of one notehead. The default raisesong value is more suited to modern music, so you need this command for any chant you do.
\musicindent12mm indents the music by 12mm. This makes room for a big drop cap. Unfortunately I don't know how to make the indent affect more than one line as you see in the Monastic Antiphonale.
\nosolesmescustos changes the style of the custoses. A custos is a little courtesy note at the end of a line which tells you what note is coming next. Our example isn't long enough yet to see the effect of this, suffice to say that the monks of Solesmes have a one way of doing custoses, which is the default, while there is a simpler way, which \nosolesmescustos activates
\setclef14 moves the C-clef to the top line of the staff. \setclef11 puts the C-clef on the bottom line, \setclef12, the next line up, \setclef13 the third line up. If you need a F-clef then change this to:
\setclefsymbol1\gregorianFclef \setclef15which puts the F-clef at the third line up, \setclef16 puts the F-clef on the top line.
And that finishes all I can think about the preamble off the top of
my head on a humid Wednesday afternoon in the Blue Mountains.
Barlines
I think one major omission in my quickref.pdf is an explanation of
barlines. Basically you have four types:
When ending a piece you don't need to use the above commands to choose your barline. Instead you use the appropriate finis command:
\hsize50mm \setgregorian1 \setclef14 \raisesong3\Internote \initiumgregorianum \sgn Le{ts}\pes Na\egn \spatium \sgn see\punctum c\egn \spatium \sgn {}if\punctum c\egn \spatium \sgn {th}is\punctum c\egn \spatium \sgn wo{rks,}\climacus cba\egn \spatium \divisiominima \spatium \custos L\lineaproxima \sgn be-\torculus LNL\egn \sgn ca{use}\porrectus NMN\egn \spatium \sgn {}it\pes Na\egn \spatium \sgn {sh}{ou}{ld.}\punctum c\augmentum d\egn \spatium \Finisgregoriana
Anyway, OpusTeX doesn't have a native function for adding an extra line of text under the music so you have to write it yourself. I use this definition at the beginning of each piece:
\font\itlyrics cmti9 \def\engl#1{\cchar{-7}{\itlyrics #1}}The first line defines a 9 point italic font and calls it \itlyrics. The second line defines a command that takes some text and places it under the music in the \itlyrics font. \cchar is another opustex command that makes the text centered, using \rchar instead would have made it right aligned and \lchar would have made it left aligned. {-7} specifies the vertical position of the text. For extra lines I use -10 and -13.
The \engl command is used in amongst the notes (\punctums and so on) like this:
\sgn lux\engl{light}\punctum c\egnYou might need a bit of tweaking to get things looking right. Use some of TeX's spacing commands:
First of all, don't worry about the music environment. The manual kind of suggests enclosing your music in \begin{music} \end{music} commands, but I found this caused a dislocation of the drop caps in the music similar to the repeated use of \begingroup \endgroup in TeX. The first few examples were fine, but after that things started going funny.
If you do have trouble with OpusTeX in LaTeX you can make TeX files, use dvips to make them into postscript files then either ghostview's export to eps feature or ghostscript (gs -sDEVICE=epswrite -sOutputFile=filename.eps filename.ps) to make eps files. Once you have eps files then use the graphicx package to include them. There's a good guide called Using Imported Graphics in LaTeX2e (epslatex.pdf) available from CTAN on how to do this.
The great advantage of using LaTeX seems to be the graphicx package. This gives you lots of options when including pictures like cropping pictures, resizing and so on. You can even include jpegs.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive treatment of how to install fonts for TeX, but since I need somewhere to write down the basics, here it is.
To install postscript fonts:
This is what I do on my Debian (3.1 Sarge) installation of TeTeX. Just to make life interesting it is probably different on your computer.

Refactor Camp 2013 was held March 2-3 at the San Francisco Zoo, the same venue as 2012. The broad goal in 2013 was to think about how the concept of "jailbreaking" (as in iPhones) can be productively applied to a metropolitan region with a "walled garden" culture. We focused on the Bay Area, but generated interesting ideas applicable to disruptive "civic entrepreneurship" in any urban area.

Dropwizard has out-of-the-box support for sophisticated configuration, application metrics, logging, operational tools, and much more, allowing you and your team to ship a production-quality HTTP+JSON web service in the shortest time possible.
As I've said before, the only reason Dropwizard exists at all is to provide
opinions on what a service should be.
It uses fat JARs because I think they work better.
It embeds Jetty because I think that works better.
It uses Jackson because I think that works better.
It uses Jersey because I think that works better.
It has a single YAML configuration file because I think that works better.
It wraps Logback because I think that works better.

Allows the idea of a 'uniform interface' for REST. Services are self documenting and describing in the sense that each resource gives the clients the links necessary to change the state of that resource.

A special thanks to the people who actually figured all this stuff out. Including but not limited to:


Like so many things, Code Shameless started because of a question: How can a developer who wants to work with women developers find them?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women make up 29.7% of all employees working in "Computer and Software" services, though it's not clear from that figure how many write code.
One thing we do know: there is no parity yet. For now, self-teaching and bootcamps appear to be the way more people — especially women — are learning to code. Tutorials and fast-track intensives get us past the fundamentals. But then what?
As we learn, we all go through a period of writing awkward code while we figure things out. And we all get stuck. But we don't have to struggle alone and afraid.
We created Code Shameless to help developers level up in a healthy environment. And to make sure that happens, Code Shameless has three rules:
If you're stuck, post your code and explain what you meant for the code to do. And if you can help, do so.
Code is awkward. You don't have to be. Code Shameless.
