Press release
Detail of a 50% rise in the pupil premium.
England’s most disadvantaged pupils are to benefit from extra cash next year when the Pupil Premium rises to £900 per pupil - around 50% higher than last year.
Schools receive extra cash through the premium for every child registered as eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the past six years and children in care who have been looked after for six months.
Schools Minister David Laws said:
It’s unacceptable that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to do well in school than their peers. The coalition government has introduced the pupil premium to tackle this problem.
After just one year, many schools are already telling us that the Pupil Premium is making a difference.
This extra funding will help schools provide the extra support children and young people need to reach their full potential.
Statistics show that, in 2011, the latest available:
Evidence shows that children from low income families generally do not achieve as well as other pupils. Schools therefore receive additional pupil premium funding on top of the school budget to enable them to support these pupils in reaching their potential and to help schools reduce educational inequality.
Just 13.2 % of children looked after by local authorities achieve 5 good GCSE grades, including English and maths, and the government wants them to benefit from the extra funding through the premium.
Whilst schools have the freedom to use the pupil premium funding in innovative ways, it is vital they use it to boost results for the most disadvantaged pupils. They will be held to account by Ofsted through its inspections which include a closer focus on premium use and the performance of pupils who attract it, as well as a focus on the achievement of disadvantaged pupils in the school performance tables. Schools are also required to publish online details of their premium spend for parents.
Following the popularity of the summer schools for Pupil Premium pupils, the Government will be making £50 million available for the scheme to run again next year.
Nearly 2000 schools received government funding to run a summer school this year, providing up to two weeks of support for around 65,000 disadvantaged children. Schools offered a range of activities aimed at helping children settle in to the new school, ranging from catch-up lessons for those children needing extra help, to extra-curricular activities such as theatre trips, and Olympics-related sporting events.
Pupils can struggle to make the jump to secondary education. Moving to a larger school and having to tackle a more challenging curriculum can be daunting for some pupils. This results in a dip in their performance, which can persist throughout their time at school.
ENDS
The Department for Education has also confirmed that the per pupil level of the pupil premium for the financial year 2012 to 2013 will rise from £600 to £619. This follows a smaller-than-expected rise in the number of pupils registering for free school meals in January 2012. The allocations to schools will be revised to reflect this change in the per pupil amount.
Details of how secondary schools can sign up to run summer schools in 2013 will be announced shortly. Further information on the Pupil premium summer schools can be found online.
The Department for Education will be announcing further details on the Service Children’s Premium for the 2013 to 2014 financial year shortly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)¶
These are questions we’re frequently answering in our IRC channel, the mailing list or which come up during conversations.
What does MOSA stand for?¶
Managed Operation System Alliance. It was an alliance with the SharpOS project to create a .NET based operating system and toolsets. As operating systems share a lot of common groundwork MOSA aims to standardize interfaces in order to foster portability and to provide both projects with basic implementations of these interfaces.
Who can join?¶
Anyone who is interested in operating system or .NET development can join. You have to keep in mind our New BSD License for your contributions though.
What kind of .NET runtime will be available?¶
We are developing an entirely new runtime as part of the MOSA effort. This runtime is developed along the CIL specifications published by ECMA. We are building our own runtime with pluggable algorithms in order to be very flexible and usable for research.
How is the Cosmos project different than MOSA?¶
Cosmos is designed to be an operating system toolkit plugin for Visual Studio. The Cosmos toolkit, once installed, integrates with Visual Studio in two significant ways. First, the toolkit introduces a new Cosmos project type that can launch and control the build process. Second, the toolkit integrates with Visual Studio’s debugger and provides break points and watches. The toolkit requires Microsoft’s implementation of the .NET framework to compile a Cosmos operating system.
In comparison, MOSA has no dependencies on any Microsoft’s applications including Visual Studio, the .NET framework or Windows operation system. MOSA can run on Windows, Linux or the Apple’s OSX operating systems.
Another important difference is Cosmos compiles to Assembly ASM and uses Netwide Assembler, NASM, to finally compile to binary. MOSA compiles directly to binary and has its own linker implementation.
Are Cosmos and MOSA working together?¶
No; Cosmos and MOSA are seperate and independent projects.

If you have only one numerical variable, you probably better have to make an histogram or a density plot. But you can still use the violinplot function to describe the distribution of this variable, as follows:
# libraries & dataset
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# set a grey background (use sns.set_theme() if seaborn version 0.11.0 or above)
sns.set(style="darkgrid")
df = sns.load_dataset('iris')
# Make boxplot for one group only
sns.violinplot(y=df["sepal_length"])
plt.show()
Usually, violinplots are used in cases similar to boxplots: when you have one numerical variable and several groups. It allows to compare distributions from one group to another. One usually works with two columns, one giving the value of the variable, the other one the group:
# libraries & dataset
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# set a grey background (use sns.set_theme() if seaborn version 0.11.0 or above)
sns.set(style="darkgrid")
df = sns.load_dataset('iris')
# plot
sns.violinplot( x=df["species"], y=df["sepal_length"] )
plt.show()
Violinplots are also useful to compare several variables. In the iris dataset, we can compare the first 2 numerical variables:
# libraries & dataset
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# set a grey background (use sns.set_theme() if seaborn version 0.11.0 or above)
sns.set(style="darkgrid")
df = sns.load_dataset('iris')
# plot
sns.violinplot(data=df.iloc[:,0:2])
plt.show()

Match Play. DMP. How should Red play 41?
pips Red=75 White=123
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
Bill Davis continues to pose excellent and challenging problems on the ABT Facebook account.
In a money game (particularly with White owning the cube on 2) the decision would be easier because of the gammon wins and hitting White's blot on Red's 4-pt would be mandatory. The best way to hit is 8/4*, 5/4 as there is some duplication of 3's. This superior to 8/4*/3 because of the additional cover numbers for Red on the next roll.
At DMP Gammons don't matter either way so you want the play that wins the most games. This brings 13/8 into contention because it starts to clear the most difficult point.
Calculating this over the board is virtually impossible so you have to go by experience and a little bit of gut feel. Back to that old adage –“when in doubt, hit.” It is remarkable just how often the adage is correct.
It turns out that 8/4*, 5/4 wins 1.3% more games than 13/8 so that is the right play.

Eval() and Debugging¶
In this chapter we are going to learn about
- Error Handling using Try/Catch/Done
- Eval() function
- Raise() function
- Assert() function
Try/Catch/Done¶
Syntax:
Try
Statements...
Catch
Statements...
Done
The statements in the Try block will be executed, if any error happens then the statements in the catch block will be executed.
Inside the catch block we can use the variable cCatchError to get the error message
Example:
Try
see 5/0
Catch
see "Catch!" + nl + cCatchError
Done
Output:
Catch!
Error (R1) : Cann't divide by zero !
Eval() Function¶
We can execute code during the runtime from string using the Eval() function
Syntax:
Eval(cCode)
Example:
Eval("nOutput = 5+2*5 " )
See "5+2*5 = " + nOutput + nl
Eval("for x = 1 to 10 see x + nl next")
Eval("func test see 'message from test!' ")
test()
Output:
5+2*5 = 15
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
message from test!
We can use the Return command to return a value
Example:
see Eval("return 5*5")
Output:
25
Raise() Function¶
We can raise an exception using the Raise() function
Syntax:
Raise(cErrorMessage)
The function will display the error message then end the execution of the program.
We can use Try/Catch/Done to avoid exceptions generated by raise() function.
Example:
nMode = 10
if nMode < 0 or nMode > 5
raise("Error : nMode not in the range 1:4")
ok
Output:
Line 4 Error : nMode not in the range 1:4
In raise in file tests\raise.ring
Example:
try
testmode(6)
catch
see "avoid raise!"
done
testmode(-1)
func testmode nMode
if nMode < 0 or nMode > 5
raise("Error : nMode not in the range 1:4")
ok
Output:
avoid raise!
Line 12 Error : nMode not in the range 1:4
In raise In function testmode() in file tests\raise2.ring
called from line 7 in file tests\raise2.ring
Assert() Function¶
We can use the Assert() function to test conditions before executing the code
If the test fail the program will be terminated with an error message contains the assert condition.
Syntax:
Assert( condition )
Example:
x = 10
assert( x = 10)
assert( x = 100 )
Output:
Line 3 Assertion Failed!
In assert in file tests\assert.ring


Returns a set that is based on the relative position of the specified member in the database outline.
Note:
When multiple hierarchies are enabled, this function returns NULL when the range begins in one hierarchy and terminates in another hierarchy.
Syntax
RelMemberRange ( member, prevcount, nextcount, [,layertype] [, hierarchy ])
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
|
An input member in the set you want to return. |
|
prevcount |
The number of members in the same layer specified by layertype prior to member to include in the return set. |
nextcount |
The number of members in the same layer specified by layertype following member to include in the return set. |
layertype |
GENERATION or LEVEL. If omitted, the default is GENERATION. Defines whether the set to be returned is based the same generation or on the same level as member. |
|
Optional. A specific hierarchy within the time dimension. |
Example
The following examples are based on ASOSamp.Sample.
SELECT RelMemberRange ([PORTLAND - OR],1,2) ON COLUMNS FROM asosamp.sample
This query returns the set:
{[PHOENIX - OR],[PORTLAND - OR],[POWERS - OR],[PRAIRIE CITY - OR]}
RelMemberRange(Apr, 5, 0)
returns the set {Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr}. Note that the output set has only four members.
RelMemberRange(Apr, 5, 10)
returns the set {Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May ...,Dec}. Note that the output set has only four previous members and seven next members of Apr.

Chengdu attractions are topped by the Giant Panda Breeding Base where thousands enjoy the opportunity to get close to the adorable pandas every year. Chengdu has mountain scenery nearby, the vast Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, and plenty of cultural experiences in the city, with museums, the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, temples, monasteries, ancient architecture, and the renowned face-changing performances. Lovers of Sichuan food might call Chengdu restaurants an attraction in themselves. Experience the most popular selections of Chengdu’s tourist attractions with our 5-day Chengdu tours or pick your own choice of sights and tailor make a tour.
The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base (or Chengdu Panda Base for short) specializes in baby pandas and their care. It's one of the most popular destinations for foreign travelers. And it's a must-go place when you go to Chengdu.
Chengdu Panda Base not only takes care of breeding pandas, but also focuses on providing interactive activities that teach people about pandas and their protection. Besides cute giant pandas, there are also red pandas, black swans, and peacocks in the base. It’s a research center, so, unlike a zoo, it does not focus on displaying the animals. Sometimes the giant pandas are all sleeping indoors, so that you can’t see any of them eating, playing, or climbing outside.
Pandas usually give birth in August. Thus visitors can see new-born pandas or panda babies in August and September. If you are visiting the base in this period, don’t forget to see the pink or fluffy panda babies in Moonlight Delivery House and Sunshine Nursery house. You can take photos of new-born pandas, but no flash use is allowed. If there are no new-born pandas to see, you can always go to the kindergarten to see young active pandas
The Wuhou Temple (The Temple of Marquis Wu) in Chengdu's south suburb is the most famous and influential of the temples dedicated to Zhuge Liang who lived from 181 until 234 AD. He is one of China's famous historic figures, and he was a renowned minister and military strategist for Emperor Liu Bei (161-223) of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period in China. The temple is also dedicated to Emperor Liu Bei. It was built during the Qing dynasty in 1672. Because Zhuge Liang was granted the title of "Wuxiang Hou" (Marquis Wuxiang) in his lifetime, this temple is known as the Wuhou Memorial Temple. The temple is one of Chengdu's major attractions and contains numerous statues to Emperor Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other officials of the Shu Kingdom, and there are ancient inscriptions and tablets that are famous in China.
The temple is located in the southern suburb of Chengdu. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province.
To appreciate this temple complex, you need to know some about its history. During the Three Kingdoms period of China from the year 220 until 280, China was divided into three empires that were warring to conquer each other: the Wu, Wei and Shu Kingdoms. The area around the ancient city of Chengdu was a part of the Kingdom of Shu. Liu Bei was the Shu Kingdom's first emperor, and he needed Zhuge Liange to help him govern. The Shu Kingdom was finally defeated. But several hundred years later, a very famous poet named Dufu (712-770) of the Tang dynasty wrote a poem in which he said that Zhuge Liang's shrine was in a glade of cypress trees. But the shrine's location isn't known.
The memorial in large and is a nice place to wander around it. It covers 37,000 square meters of paths and woods. The temple complex is interesting architecturally and steeped in history, and the park has old cypress trees. The main body of the temple is simple in style, but dignified. It is divided into five sections, running south to north: the Gate, the Second Gate, the Hall of Liu Bei, the Corridor, and the Wuhou Temple (the Hall of Zhuge Liang). Inside, clay sculptures of the Shu Emperor and his ministers stand together. There are 47 statues of Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and other officials of the Kingdom. The temple houses many inscribed stone tablets. Many of the sayings and poems written on these tablets are well known. The most valuable and famous tablet was set up in 805 AD. It is 144 inches high and 37 inches wide. It is called the Tablet of Triple Success. It is called this because the text was originally penned by a famous official named Pei Du, then stylized by Liu Gongchuo who was one of China's most famous calligraphers, and then his calligraphy was carved in the tablet by a noted engraver named Lu Jian. It is some of China's finest ancient literature and craftsmanship.
The memorial is open to visitors from 8:00 am to 5:50 pm.
Expect to be fully enthralled by the glamour of the folk customs in Sichuan Province. Green tiles are placed in order and bluestone ways twist forward, making people feel as if time was turned back and they are in the past again. Tea, dishes, wine, play and brocades with local features appear before your eyes one after another, creating quite a feast for the eyes.
This street, which is only 350 meters long, is a stage for life in Chengdu and showcases its features. You can taste the flavor of old Chengdu by seeing the age-old street, official residences, folk residences, teahouses, inns, wine bars, stages and handiwork; you can get a taste of authentic Chengdu flavor by trying local snacks and specialties.
On the ancient stages, classic plays are performed regularly.
In the roadside stands, folk artisan performances are put on (including sugar painting, shaping clay figurines, paper cutouts, puppet shadow shows, and so on).
On Jinli Snack Street, visitors can taste a variety of local delicacies.
Tourists can take part in a local wedding. Couples can hold their weddings in Jinli for a ceremony that they won't forget for their entire lives.
Folk music, plays, and local customs are held continuously year round.
During traditional festivals, thematic activities are held in the communities. The activities include a lantern fair during the Lantern Festival, a snack festival, the Zongzi Eating Contest during the Dragon Boat Festival, activities during Chinese Valentines' Day, appreciating the moon together on Mid-Autumn Day, and so on.
A talented craftsman in Jinli old street, Chengdu, can write your name on a grain of rice and put it in a necklace. His Master wrote a whole verse on a single grain which he keeps under a microscope on the stall to prove it.

Millets have also played an important role in nurturing soils and improving their fertility and texture, thereby increasing the yield and hence the returns to the farmer. Once the root system is established, millets can survive many dry weeks. Once it starts raining, the plants jump back to life and yield something by the end of the season. Millets are thus fairly effective at aggregating nutrients. If we are conscious in closing the nutrient loop locally, we can realize a manifold increase in soil health. Millets are thus environmentally, ecologically, economically friendly sources of food and nutrition.

This scenario will create secondary tiles that are capable of appearing on the lock screen. Two different secondary tiles will be created, one which can only show a badge on the lock screen and one which can show both a badge and tile text on the lock screen.
In order to create a secondary tile that is capable of showing notifications on the lock screen, the app must first declare itself to be capable of appearing on the lock screen, as discussed in Scenario 1. However, the app's main tile does not need to be on the lock screen for its secondary tiles to be placed on the lock screen. To create a secondary tile which is capable of appearing on the lock screen, the lockScreenBadgeLogo property for the secondary tile must be set. Setting this property flags the secondary tile as being capable of displaying a badge on the lock screen. Setting the optional lockScreenDisplayBadgeAndTileText property flags the secondary tile as capable of displaying its tile text on the lock screen.
Once those properties are set, the secondary tile can be created. As long as the secondary tile is on a user's Start screen, it will appear in the list of allowable lock screen apps on the Lock screen tab of the Personalization page.
See the Secondary Tiles SDK sample for more information on creating and pinning secondary tiles.

Provides the open data types and Open MBean descriptor classes. An Open MBean is an MBean where the types of attributes and of operation parameters and return values are built using a small set of predefined Java classes. Open MBeans facilitate operation with remote management programs that do not necessarily have access to application-specific types, including non-Java programs.
Every MBean has an MBeanInfo
with information about the MBean itself, and its
attributes, operations, constructors, and notifications. In an
Open MBean, this MBeanInfo
implements the OpenMBeanInfo
interface, usually by being an instance of OpenMBeanInfoSupport
.
The attribute information returned by MBeanInfo.getAttributes
for an Open MBean is an array of
objects implementing OpenMBeanAttributeInfo
, usually instances of OpenMBeanAttributeInfoSupport
. In addition to the usual
information about attributes, an
OpenMBeanAttributeInfo
specifies the OpenType
of the attribute.
The possible OpenType
values are predefined, which
is what ensures that remote managers will understand them.
Similar remarks apply to the parameter types of operations and constructors, and to the return types of operations.
There is a distinction between an attribute's Java language
type, as returned by getType()
, and
its OpenType
, as returned by getOpenType()
. For example, if the Java language type is
java.lang.String
, the OpenType
will be
SimpleType.String
. If the Java language type is CompositeData
, the
OpenType
will be a CompositeType
that
describes the items in the CompositeData
instances
for the attribute.

Do you like to travel, but are bored by more popluar travel destinations? Tired of elbowing your way through the crowd to see that Mona Lisa? Stressed about the time you waste waiting in line to get to the observation deck of the world's tallest buildings? Then I have a few recommendations for you!
Answer the following questions to help narrow down locations you might like to visit.


So! Here’s the plan we are working on to update everything with official details:
- JASP + OSKB:
- The JASP pages on OSF are all updated: https://osf.io/t56kg/
- I have built the structure for the JASP page with the OSKB … it’s still pending as of October 12, but you will be able to find it at this link when they approve it: https://www.oercommons.org/courseware/lesson/73379
- In discussions with the OSKB today, we are going to put together a few promotional materials to help everyone find the community including a paper for the JASP materials, a presentation at Midwestern Psychological Association, and a twitter poster for the Society of Teaching of Psychology. More information soon when those come out this month.
- Working on the stats pages now! I am hoping to do ONE a day, so that should take about two weeks (so many materials!).
- The SEM course should start the week of October 26th. There’s a chance this course may not make, but I am going to try to do the updates during the time it would have been anyways (because then I’ll be ready for Spring!). I am going to propose updates every Friday, which gives me time from the time I would teach it on Wednesday nights to de-identify each video if necessary.
- Last, I will propose Tuesdays for posting my Human Language and Natural Language Processing videos. I have a lot of these, so we will post one a week.
Enjoy the materials! :)


This article describes how to configure communication with devices using Modbus protocol. Simple and robust, Modbus has since become a de facto standard communication protocol, and it is now a commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices (see Wikipedia). Rapid SCADA supports Modbus RTU, ASCII and TCP modes.
The general sequence of configuring:
The following is a step by step guide to setup a new Modbus device. To ensure that the process of adding the device completely coincides with the text of the article, you have to install Rapid SCADA with the default configuration.
Editing the configuration database is performed using the Administrator application.
Run Administrator. Open the Objects table and add a new line for the object 2 "Test object" (see Figure 1). Then open the Communication lines table and add the line 11 "Test line" (see Figure 2). After that open the Devices table and add the device 101 "Test device" (see Figure 3).
Fill the following fields for the device (see Figure 3):
| Device type: | Modbus |
| Address: | Modbus address of your device, for example, 1 |
| Call number: | IP address, if the device is connected via Ethernet. Otherwise, blank |
| Communication line: | "Test line", which was recently created |
Figure 1. Adding an object
Figure 2. Adding a communication line
Figure 3. Adding a device
When editing the configuration database is completed, it is necessary to pass it to Server by clicking the button . To apply the changes, restart the Server service with the button .
Run Communicator (exact its graphical shell). At this time the Server service must be running.
Right-click on the Communication Lines tree node and choose the Import communication lines and devices item of the context menu (see Figure 4). In the window that appears, tick the created line and device, and then click the Import button (see Figure 5). Communication line and device appear in Communicator.
Figure 4. Communication lines context menu
Figure 5. Choosing devices for import
Click the Line 4 "Test line" tree node to open the Communication Line Parameters page, set up a communication channel, such as a serial port. Tick the Commands enabled checkbox if sending commands to the device is required (see Figure 6).
Figure 6. Communication line properties
The following table contains typical serial port parameters depending on the protocol type.
| Modbus RTU | Modbus ASCII | Modbus TCP |
|---|---|---|
| 8 data bits, Even parity, 1 stop bit |
7 data bits, Even parity, 1 stop bit |
- |
| 8 data bits, No parity, 2 stop bits |
7 data bits, No parity, 2 stop bits |
- |
In RTU and ASCII modes a baud rate of all the devices of a communication line has to be the same. Specify this baud rate in the serial port properties. Using different Modbus types within a one line is not allowed.
Go to the Request Sequence page and select "Test device" row in the table (see Figure 7). If device polling time and period are not specified, the devices are polled cyclically. Commands are sent immediately after a poll is completed.
Figure 7. Device request sequence
Click the button to open device properties form (see Figure 8). In the form choose the type of Modbus protocol, which have to be specified in the device manual.
Figure 8. Device properties
Press the button to select an existing device template, or click to create a new template. When the create button or the edit button is clicked, Device Template Editor is shown (see Figure 9). This article uses the existing template KpModbus_Adam6015.xml.
Figure 9. Device template editor
Device template reflects the structure of Modbus packages. Requested data are combined into groups of elements. Each group has its name, data table, start address and element count. Each element is a tag of a device. Rapid SCADA identifies a tag by its signal number. A command is described by its name, data table and address. A command number identifies the command within Rapid SCADA.
Names of groups, elements and commands are arbitrary. The available data tables and element addresses are usually described in device manual. Depending on the manufacturer, addressing of elements can be zero-based or one-based, specified as decimal or hexadecimal numbers. By default, addresses start with 1 and represented as decimals. To switch template addressing, click the button. Template settings dialog is opened (see Figure 10).
Figure 10. Template settings
To save Communicator settings click the button. Now it is recommended to start the Communicator service with the button and check communication with the device.
Click Device 101 "Test device" tree node to check the device state and the availability of data (see Figure 11). The data is not available immediately after start, retrieved values are shown when the first polling complete.
Figure 11. Device data
In case of losing communication with the device, use a communication line log to analyze the problem cause. To open the log, click the Communication Line Stats tree node and go to the Communication Line Log page. Data packages can be decoded by Online Modbus Parser.
After communication with the device is established, create input channels and output channels in the configuration database. To do this, open Administrator again.
The automatic channel creation service helps to save a time. Click Service > Create Channels in the main menu of the application.
On the form, which is shown in Figure 12, choose "Test line" in the drop down list, then tick the "Test device" row and choose "Test object" in the cell of the Object column. Set the channel numbering parameters to create channels having convenient numbers. Firstly press the Calculate channel numbers button, then press Create.
Figure 12. Creation of channels
The channels are created automatically based on the device template that has been created and assigned to the device in the previous section of this article. To view created channels, click the Input channels > Test device tree node and the Output channels > Test device node. It is recommended to manually fill in the Quantity and Unit fields of the input channels and the Command values field of the output channels. However, in the case of the first experiment it is unnecessary.
Useful to understand that the input channels are bound to the device tags using the Signal field. The output channels are bound to device commands in accordance with the Command number field.
After editing the configuration database is complete, press the button to pass the changes to Server, and then restart Server and Communicator by and buttons.
Open the Device Data page in Communicator and make sure that the input channels are bound to the device tags – the Channel column must contain numbers of the created input channels (see Figure 13).
Figure 13. Device data bound to channels
As a result of described actions, data should be collected from the device and stored in the archive. It remains to customize user interface for an operator.
Consider creating a table view for the Webstation application. To do this, the Table Editor application is needed. If displaying data in a graphical view is required, use Scheme Editor instead of Table editor.
Open Table Editor and fill in the table view as shown in Figure 14. Add a channel in the table (from the left side of the window to the right) by clicking the button, double-clicking the channel row or by pressing Enter.
Save created table view in the TestTable.tbl file in the C:\SCADA\Interface\Test folder. Please note that folder names and file names of views must contain only Latin characters.
Figure 14. Table editor
To display a table view in Webstation, define it in the Interface table of the configuration database by the Administrator application as shown in Figure 15.
Figure 15. Adding a view in the Interface table
To apply the changes, send the database to Server by the button and restart the Server service by the button.
Now start your browser and enter the address http://localhost/scada/. On the login form use admin / 12345 (see Figure 16). If the configuration carried out correctly, after logging in, you will see a table with the data obtained from the device, similar to Figure 17.
Figure 16. Login form
Figure 17. The Webstation application
Received element values may need a conversion. A device template allows choosing a number of bytes used by an element and order of bytes. These settings define an initial conversion. An additional conversion, if needed, is performed by SCADA-Server based on formulas of input channels in the configuration database.
The simplest conversion is a proportional which is described by the following formula:
X * (B - A) / 2N + A, where A and B are the bounds of the element values range, N – number of bits in value, X – received value.
Another commonly used conversion is two’s complement. See Wikipedia for the details. Formulas can be defined inline in input channel rows of the configuration database or separately by using the Formulas table. Using of formulas is described in this section.

Linear regression is the very first model people will learn in machine learning field. It tries to find the linear relationship between the independent and dependent variables. So this post will work as my review notes for capturing its important concepts.
1. Linear Regression
1.1 Model Assumptions
- Independent and dependent variables tends to have linear relationship
- All features are not correlated with each other
- There should be no correlation between the error terms
- The error terms must have constant variance
- The error terms also need to belong to normal distribution
What if these assumptions get violated:
- If you fit a linear model to a non-linear, non-additive data set, the regression algorithm would fail to capture the trend mathematically, thus resulting in an inefficient model
- Multicollinearity: It becomes difficult to find out which variable is actually contributing to predict the response variable; also it produces large standard errors in the related independent variables (also means wider confidence interval)
- Autocorrelation: The presence of correlation in error terms drastically reduces model’s accuracy. This usually occurs in time series models where the next instant is dependent on previous instant. If the error terms are correlated, the estimated standard errors tend to underestimate the true standard error.
- Heteroskedasticity: Generally, non-constant variance arises in presence of outliers or extreme leverage values. Look like, these values get too much weight, thereby disproportionately influences the model’s performance. When this phenomenon occurs, the confidence interval for out of sample prediction tends to be unrealistically wide or narrow.
- OLS will not work well. And confidence intervals may become too wide or narrow
I think for all these assumptions, the normality of error term is kind of weak.
1.2 Parameter Estimation
\[\hat{y_i} = b_1x_i+ b_0 + \epsilon\]
There are two ways to estimate the parameters:
- Ordinary least squares: \(\arg\min_{\beta_0 , \beta_1} \sum(y_i-\hat{y_i})^2\). If we deem it as a function of parameter \(\beta\), we can then do partial derivative for all parameters and makes it equal to 0 to get the optimal estimation.
- MLE: It is then an inference problem. We know if the error term \(\epsilon \sim N(0,\sigma^2)\) then \(\hat{y_i} \sim N(b_1x_i+ b_0, \sigma^2)\). So the pdf function will be: \[p(y|x,b_0,b_1,\sigma) = \prod_{I=1}^n \frac{1}{2\pi \sigma^2}e^{-\frac{(y_i-b_0-b_1x_i)^2}{2\sigma^2}}\] Since the data are known, so we can deem this pdf as the likelihood function for any parameters. Our goal is then to: \[\arg \max_{b_0,b_1} log \sum_{i=1}^n -(y_i-b_0-b_1x_i)^2\] Which equals to: \[\arg \min_{b_0,b_1}log \sum_{i=1}^n (y_i-b_0-b_1x_i)^2\]
So we can see when the error term \(\epsilon\) belongs to normal distribution, the MLE is totally the same with OLS. However, if the error is not normal, MLE should perform better. This situation happens when certain assumptions for OLS are not satisfied for example the error term is not iid normal distribution.
1.3 Advantages/Disadvantages
Pros:
- Linear regression is an extremely simple method. It is very easy to use, understand, and explain.
- The best fit line is the line with minimum error from all the points, it has high efficiency
Cons:
- Linear regression only models relationships between dependent and independent variables that are linear. It assumes there is a straight-line relationship between them which is incorrect sometimes.
- Linear regression is very sensitive to the anomalies/outliers in the data
- If the number of the parameters are greater than the samples, then the model starts to model noise rather than relationship
1.4 Parameter Confidence Interval
I reviewed inference part from this post but I think I did not write a complete one. So here I am trying to re-write it and also combine it with the linear regression knowledge.
The intuition of confidence interval is that we want to know how confident about our estimation. So we want to find a statistic which has a known distribution and contains both the true value and our estimation, in the sense after transformation we can get (take \(\mu\) as an example): \[P(\mu \in [\hat{\mu}-s, \hat{\mu}+s]) \ge 1-\alpha\]
a). Confidence Interval for the mean of a Gaussian
Suppose we have \(n\) observations \(x_i\) where \(x_1,...,x_n \sim N(\mu,\sigma^2)\) and our goal is to estimate the \(\mu\).
If \(\sigma\) is known, the MLE of \(\mu\) is the sample mean: \[\hat{\mu}=\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma^2}{n})\] and we can easily find: \[\frac{\sqrt{n}(\hat{\mu}-\mu)}{\sigma} \sim N(0,1)\] so the \(1-\alpha\) CI is: \[P(\frac{\sqrt{n}(\hat{\mu}-\mu)}{\sigma} \in [-s,s]) = 1-\alpha\] After transformation we can get:\[P(\mu \in [\hat{\mu}-s\sigma \sqrt{n} ,\hat{\mu}+s\sigma \sqrt{n}]) = 1-\alpha\]
If \(\sigma\) is unknown, so we first use MLE to get the sample variance: \[\hat{\sigma}= \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{I=1}^n(x_i-\bar{x})}\] Then we need to characterize the distribution of \(\frac{\sqrt{n}(\hat{\mu}-\mu)}{\sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{I=1}^n(x_i-\bar{x})}}\). If we divide both the numerator and denominator by \(\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\), then We can see the numerator belongs to normal distribution, and the denominator belongs to \(\chi^2(n-1)\). So overall it belongs to \(t(n-1)\). Then we can use the same way above to calculate the CI
b). Confidence Interval for Linear Regression
Use the logic above, we can also get the confidence interval for all the parameter estimations in linear regression. So I will not write down the math transformation here but it is easy to prove that all the parameters will either belong to normal or t distribution based on whether the error term \(\epsilon\) has the known or unknown \(\sigma\) value.
1.5 Bias-variance Trade-off
We know for all the machine learning models we need to minimize the loss, suppose we choose squared loss here: \[L(y, \hat{y}) = \frac{1}{n}\sum(y_i-\hat{y_i})^2 = E[(y - \hat{y})^2]\]
If we do a trick to add the mean value of \(\hat{y}\) and minus it after, we can get: \[E[(y - \hat{y})^2] = E(y-\bar{\hat{y}}+\bar{\hat{y}} -\hat{y})^2\] To further transform, we get: \[E[(y - \hat{y})^2] = E[(y-\bar{\hat{y}})^2] + E[(\hat{y}-\bar{\hat{y}})^2] = Bias + Varaince\]
Bias: The deviation of average prediction from true value; So to lower bias we tend to give a complicate model.
Variance: The variance of predictions. So lower variance we tend to give a simple model.
So you can see the trade-off here, and a good model will need to have both small bias and variance.
1.6 Some statistics to evaluate the performance
Coefficient of determination (\(R^2\))
\[R^2 = 1 - \frac{SS_{res}}{SS_{tot}}=\frac{SS_{reg}}{SS_{tot}}\] Where \(SS_{res}=\sum(y_i - \hat{y_i})\), \(SS_{reg}=\sum(\hat{y_i}-\bar{y_i})\), \(SS_{tot}=\sum(y_i - \bar{y_i})\)
So we can deem is as the percentage variance explained by the model. But high \(R^2\) may result from overfitting; also, as we increase the number of features, \(R^2\) will always increase because the variance will be explained more.
Adjusted \(R^2\) To solve the problem that \(R^2\) tend to give more complicated models, Adjusted \(R^2\) will penalize you for adding independent variables. \[Adjusted \ R^2 = \frac{\frac{SS_{reg}}{n-p-1}}{\frac{SS_{tot}}{n-1}}\]
AIC and BIC
AIC and BIC are penalized-likelihood criteria.
Suppose that we have a statistical model of some data. Let p be the number of estimated parameters in the model. Let \( {\hat {L}}\) be the maximum value of the likelihood function for the model; \(n\) be the number of data points. Then the AIC and BIC value of the model is the following： \[{AIC} \,=\,2p-2\ln({\hat {L}})\] \[{BIC} \,=\,log(n)p-2\ln({\hat {L}})\]
So despite various subtle theoretical differences, their only difference in practice is the size of the penalty; BIC penalizes model complexity more heavily
2. Regression with Ridge and Lasso
Ridge uses L2 penalty when fitting the model and lasso uses L1 penalty.
For ridge: \[\hat{\beta_{ridge}}=\arg\min \sum_{i=1}^{n} L(y_i,\hat{y_i})+ \lambda \sum_{j=1}^p \beta_j^2\]
For lasso: \[\hat{\beta_{lasso}}=\arg\min \sum_{i=1}^{n} L(y_i,\hat{y_i})+ \lambda \sum_{j=1}^p |\beta_j|\]
\(\lambda\) is the tuning parameter that decides how much we want to penalize the flexibility of our model. As lambda increases, the impact of the shrinkage penalty grows, and the regression coefficient estimates will approach zero. Selecting a good value of lambda is critical, cross validation comes in handy for this purpose, the coefficient estimates produced by this method are also known as the L1/L2 norm.
Comparison:
- Ridge will perform better when the response is a function of many predictors, all with coefficients of roughly equal size; Ridge regression also has substantial computational advantages.
- Lasso will perform better in a setting where a relatively small number of predictors have substantial coefficients, and the remaining predictors have coefficients that are very small or that equal zero
- Cannot deal with the imbalanced data problem


The Flamenco administration utility is a script called
flamenco
located in the target/bin
directory,
where target is the target directory
in which you chose to install Flamenco.
You may find it convenient to add this directory
to your PATH
variable
so that you can run this utility just by typing
flamenco
.
(Otherwise, you will need to type the complete path to the utility:
target/bin/flamenco
.)

When you give the command flamenco
by itself,
you'll get a menu of administration actions.
Available actions are: status - list all processes and instances start - start an instance stop - stop an instance restart - stop and then restart an instance kill - kill all instances (last resort, run as root) import - import a collection and create a new instance index - enable text search using Lucene instead of MySQL
The action should be given as the first argument to
flamenco
.
For example, type flamenco status
to get a list of processes and instances.
The
start
,
stop
,
and restart
actions each take at least one additional argument, an instance name.
You can specify more than one instance name
or the special name ALL
to mean all available instances.
Flamenco sets up each instance so that it starts automatically
when it is first accessed by a Web browser.
So, although you can use the
flamenco start instance
command to start an instance when it's convenient,
you don't need to.
If an instance is started automatically due to a browser accessing it,
the WebKit server process will run in the Web server user account
(which is usually named www
,
www-data
,
apache
,
or nobody
).
If you start an instance using the
flamenco start instance
command,
the WebKit server process will run in your user account.
Regardless of how an instance was started,
the flamenco stop instance
command
stops the instance.
If you are testing changes to your customization code
or editing the Flamenco code itself,
you may want to use
the flamenco restart instance
command,
which stops and restarts an instance.
When you're looking at a process listing,
you can identify the WebKit server process for an instance
by its command line, which will look like
python flamenco-instance
.
The flamenco status
command
will list all Flamenco processes and all available instances
and indicate which instances are running.

The flamenco import directory
command,
as described in the installation section,
imports a collection and creates a new instance.
The flamenco index instance
command
builds a Lucene index of the keywords in a collection
for the full-text search feature in Flamenco.
Instances are initially created without a Lucene index.
If Java is available on your machine,
you can create a Lucene index using this command,
after which the full-text search will use the Lucene search engine.


I like the time box method for completing. I am currently working with another student and the methods described in the guide are similar to how we work. We pre arrange a box of time, usually around three hours, that is dedicated to doing work. If we do not finish, we schedule the work for later. This helps us avoid getting into an unproductive period of work that can accompany working towards a goal. I want to experiment with shorter time intervals. The guide mentioned the speed dating technique which involved 7 minute work sessions. I am curious as to whether that is enough time to accomplish anything; perhaps it would work if the goals become more specific. I will experiment more.

There are moments in my life, where I remember myself as the person before, and the person after an experience, I had one of those moments one evening late in the summer of 1996.
Myself and a group of friends had gathered at a buddy's house, his folks were at their summer home and we used to have get togethers there to party, have bonfires, and listen to music... it was always a good time. But this one night has stuck with me, I remember it as if it had happened yesterday, the vivid image burned into my memory.
My friends and I had come across a vial of liquid LSD. We had done it many times before, see colors move and wave, things seem more alive, make cigarette trails and circles but never in my life have I had an experience like I had that night. I tear up even retelling this story in print, not because anything horrible actually happened that night, but I, still to this day, feel that I was given some insight from God, as to what's to come.
We had dropped the acid at about 8:00 pm, they were on the large sweet-tart rolls that have the dimple in them. Each one had two doses on them, and always anxious to start the fun, we were getting disappointed after about an hour with no effect. So after about an hour had passed, we took another. In retrospect, I think this may have been a big mistake, because as the night progressed, I can only say I was taken to a place that living humans shouldn't visit.
To this point in my life, I was not a very spiritual person, not a religious person and had no advance knowledge of the stories of the history of the Bible, the events of the night would surely change that. Anyways, on with the story...
More people had shown up, some that we had partied with before, some that I've never seen before in my life, it was a friendly atmosphere, and at about 10:00, I began to feel the effects of the LSD. It began as a normal trip, things began looking not quite normal, flowing wood grain, things that I could associate with my previous experiences with this drug.
Then, my friend invited me to come up to his room to look at the fractal generator on his computer, which he referred to as 'god'. I played along, it was neat, but he continued referring to this piece of electronic equipment as god, and as he did so, I began to have a feeling that what he was doing was VERY wrong. After several minutes of listening to him, I stood up, and calmly said to him that 'That is not God'...
I got up and walked out of the room, and started to make my way down the stairs. I got about halfway down, and began to feel dizzy. I sat down on the stairs, put my head in my hands and closed my eyes. I remember having a short conversation, like an argument, with who I could not tell you. I said 'No, not yet' and they agreed with me, that it was not the right time.. and suddenly, I felt as if I was being pulled from my body. Further and further back I was pulled, I could see the house and then the city, then the state... but stranger still, I was aware of all the people, things, animals, and that they were all interconnected, like a huge puzzle fitting together in perfect symmetry... and then I stopped.
I could feel a presence over my shoulder, not intimidating presence, but felt such a love from this being that I can really not begin to explain it in words. It told me that it needed to show me something, and that it was the most important thing in the world and asked me if I was ready. I said yes, and then all of these images began to flash through my mind, slow at first and then faster and faster, I would later realize this as images described in the Bible, from Adam and Eve, through the present time, history flashing so fast that I couldn't grasp all that I was seeing.
What I did get from it is that God is in all things, no matter how miniscule, no matter how insignificant. I couldn't tell you how long I was there, a second, a minute, an eternity, but as quickly as it had started, it ended. The presence then told me that I'd been shown the most important thing the world has ever known, and that I was to remember and tell as many people that I could. The feeling that I had seen this once before was strong in me, I later likened it to what people are shown, before they are born into this world. I remember nodding my head, and then I was told that I was going to be put back into my body, and was reminded once again to remember and pass on what I had learned. And then 'BAM' there I was, standing outside the house on the front stoop.
Standing there with me, was another one of my friends, Wolfy, he had also dosed with us that evening. The conversation we had was chilling to me, to say the least.
He looked at me, cocked his head, and said 'Where'd ya go?'
I said, 'Wolf, you're never going to believe what just happened to me.' He kind of smiled and started to walk around me. I then told him that I thought I had just met God, and started going into some of the details of the experience.
He continued to pace around me, and again, smirked at me, and said 'You know, all that stuff you were just telling me... You don't want to remember that. The people and the Garden..' his speech began to speed up, '...the this and that.. You don't want to remember that' Every time he made a revolution around me, I felt as if I was forgetting a little bit more of what I'd been shown. Then suddenly, I felt this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I looked at him, and said 'Oh my god Wolf... you're Satan.' Again he smirked, winked at me, and walked into the house.
I stood outside for a bit, then myself walked into the house, most of the people at the party had wandered outside to the bonfire in the back. I went down into the finished basement, it was empty save me and I sat there for awhile... then I had this thought, that a girl I had met earlier in the night was going to come down the stairs, and say something about 'freaking me out'... and click... the door to the basement opened up and down the stairs the footsteps came. Sure enough, the girl walked around the corner and the first words out of her mouth were 'Hey Jeremy, I hope this doesn't freak you out but I know your ex..'
 And I walked up the stairs and began to make my way to the back door of the house, see if I could find some normality with the other party goers.
Just before I opened the sliding glass door I thought... 'Wolf is going to make a comment of peeing his pants'... I opened the back door, and as I stepped out onto the porch, Wolf stood up and wiped his leg, and said 'Oh my God, I think I just peed myself.'
I was beginning to feel very afraid, a sense of impending doom began to make a knot in the pit of my stomach, like the world was going to end. I kept looking out to the horizon for signs of a mushroom cloud or something, and I couldn't shake it. Then one of the girls sitting around the fire walked over to me, looked at me and said 'Don't ya get it?'
I said, 'Don't I get what?' It suddenly felt like she was making fun of me... She tapped another party goer on the shoulder and whispered something to him and giggled. I began to sense the presence of Evil at the party very strongly. She then looked at me again and said 'You really don't get it, huh?' Then another person stopped next to her and repeated the same thing.. 'Jay, you don't get it?' I had the sudden need to be far away from this place... The question began to travel through the party...  I could hear it as I walked back into the house following me, and no, at the time, I can honestly say that I didn't get it...
I called my parents house, and got my Mom, I told her that I needed someone to pick me up, told her where I was and that I wasn't feeling well, I needed to be around people I knew loved me. The question was still floating in my head... don't you get it?... I walked out the front door and was sat down next to my car.
The front door of the house opened, and my friend walked out, the one that was referring to his computer as 'god'. He asked how I was doing and I told him that I had called for a ride. We had some small talk and I was actually starting to feel a bit more normal.  I shook it off and began to get up, and all the hair on my body stood on end. My friend looked at me, and asked what was wrong...
I said, 'Don't you see it?'
He said, 'See what...?'
I said, 'Oh my God! Oh my God!' and began walking to the street... It had to of been in my minds eye, but I saw a fire in the sky, and pointed to it... it was growing, and growing... I dropped down to the ground and covered my head.
It passed over head with the sound of a thousand locomotives, and disappeared into the distance... At that moment, I knew that I had witnessed the end of the world. I turned an ashen white, at that moment, a car pulled up, it was my brother and his girlfriend. My Ma had sent them to come get me. I left the party that night, a changed person. I started going to church, something that since I've stopped as the church centered a lot around giving to get, and I didn't feel that was right, so now I just pray, and look to God to find the answers.
I don't really know what happened to me that night. It wasn't like any other trip that I've ever had before, and I had always had a good experience... I still couldn't tell if what happened that night was a good experience or not, but good or ill, it did change me. It was also the last time, that I took a hallucinogenic drug. I realized that there are some things, that us living humans are just not meant to experience.
I pray for the world, and hope that day, that is so sharply burnt into my memory, never comes to pass...
God Bless you all...

You are given two strings, $A$ and $B$. Find if there is a substring that appears in both $A$ and $B$.
Input Format
Several test cases will be given to you in a single file. The first line of the input will contain a single integer $T$, the number of test cases.
Then there will be $T$ descriptions of the test cases. Each description contains two lines. The first line contains the string $A$ and the second line contains the string $B$.
Output Format
For each test case, display YES
(in a newline), if there is a common substring. Otherwise, display NO
.
Constraints
All the strings contain only lowercase Latin letters.
$1 <= T <= 10$
$1 <= |A|, |B| <= 10^5$
Sample Input
2 hello world hi world
Sample Output
YES NO
Explanation
For the 1st test case, the letter o is common between both strings, hence the answer YES
. (Furthermore, the letter l is also common, but you only need to find one common substring.)
For the 2nd test case, hi and world do not have a common substring, hence the answer NO
.

There are two types of header that apply to Ameol. The first is the header of e-mail and Usenet Newsgroups articles. The second is the information and layout that appears at the a page when you print.
E-mail and article headers contain a great deal of information about the message. This information includes such things as date, message number, the name of the sender etc..
This header information is very important in the context of newsgroup articles. By default Ameol will retrieve only the headers from a newsgroup. This allows you to see the subject line for an article and decide whether to retrieve the full article. You can select articles to retrieve by 'tagging' them. Use the Tag command in the Message menu.
