zebkit UI components
Zebkit UI components are instances of “zebkit.ui.Panel” class. The class unifies UI components with common API, events handling, metrics and behavior. “zebkit.ui.Panel” class provides the following main UI component possibilities and features:
zebkit.require("ui", "layout", function(ui, layout) {
...
// create panel with border layout manager
var panel = new ui.Panel(new layout.BorderLayout());
// add button component at the top part of the container
panel.add("top", new ui.Button("Button"));
// add text area component to occupy central part of the
// container
panel.add("center", new ui.TextArea("Text area"));
...
});
zebkit.require("ui", function(ui) {
...
// instantiate anonymous panel class that implements
// "paint(g)" method to draw red circle in the panel
var panel = new ui.Panel([
function paint(g) {
g.setColor("red");
g.beginPath();
g.arc(Math.floor(this.width / 2),
Math.floor(this.height / 2),
Math.floor((this.width-1)/2),0,2*Math.PI,false);
g.closePath();
g.fill();
}
]);
...
});
zebkit.require("ui", function(ui) {
...
// Handle pointer entered and exited events
var panel = new ui.Panel([
function pointerEntered(e) {
console.log("Pointer is in the panel");
},
function pointerExited(e) {
console.log("Pointer is out of the panel");
}
]);
...
});
Zebkit UI components framework utilizes HTML5 Canvas as a target surface to render UI components hierarchy (theoretically zebkit can be adapted to any Canvas-like surface). The surface is abstracted with “zebkit.ui.zCanvas” class that as any other UI component, inherits “zebkit.ui.Panel”. zCanvas is the destination to place an UI hierarchy. To do it follow the steps listed below:
Instantiate “zebkit.ui.zCanvas” class. Depending on arguments that have been passed the canvas instance sticks to an existing DOM HTML5 Canvas element or creates a new one in the DOM tree.
Put UI hierarchy into zCanvas “root” layer. zCanvas has layered structure. As a container (zebkit.ui.Panel) it hosts number if child layers designed for different purposes (showing pop-up, windows, etc). It is expected “root” layer has to be used for placing zebkit UI components hierarchy.
For example:
zebkit.require("ui", function(ui) {
// create HTML Canvas element where zebkit UI to host
// zebkit UI components hierarchy
var htmlCanvas = new ui.zCanvas(500, 400);
// to place UI components use root layer of
// created HTML canvas
var root = htmlCanvas.root;
// everything has to be ordered with rules
// so specify layout manager
root.setBorderLayout(8);
// add button zebkit component
root.add("bottom", new ui.Button("Hello zebkit"));
...
Find below a simple zebkit application that builds the following UI components hierarchy:
|
|
The application code is shown below:
zebkit.require("ui","layout","draw",function(ui,layout,draw) {
(new ui.zCanvas("layoutSample", 300, 420)).root.properties({
layout: new layout.BorderLayout(),
kids : {
"center": new ui.Panel({
border: new draw.Border("white", 2),
bounds: [10,10, 380, 280],
background: "#3F76AA",
kids: [
new ui.Label("Test Label").properties({
color: "white",
font: "bold",
bounds: [10, 10, 360, 50]
}),
new ui.Button("Button").setBounds(10,60,270,50),
new ui.Panel({
bounds: [10, 120, 280, 270],
background: "orange",
kids: [
new ui.TextField("Text Field")
.setBounds(10, 10, 250, 30)
.toPreferredHeight()
.setBorder(new draw.Border("white"))
]
})
]
})
}
});
});
It has been mentioned many times zebkit UI is organized as a multi-level hierarchy of various UI components. To manage the hierarchy UI component API provides the following methods and fields:
| Method or field | Description |
|---|---|
|
UI hierarchy fields: | References to a parent component (parent) and array of child components (kids) |
|
Insertion API: | Add, insert, re-set a child component. |
|
Removal API: | Remove child component by child component index, by passed child component instance, all children or the given component. |
|
Layout API: | Setup layout manager, find child components by its constraints. |
UI component defines a layout manager to order its child components. Layout manager is special class that:
inherits “zebkit.layout.Layout” interface
Implement “calcPreferredSize(comp)” method to calculate component “pure” preferred size (the size that does not take in account border and padding gaps)
Implement “doLayout(comp)” method that knows how to place child components basing on some rules
Layout manager is mandatory. If an UI component has not defined a layout manager a default one is taken. The default layout manager doesn’t have any special rules to order child components. Actually it does nothing, what means defined with a child component size and coordinates (“x”, “y”, “width”, “height”) will have effect.
For more details consult “zebkit.ui.Panel” API documentation.
Finding components in an UI hierarchy is implemented with “byPath(…)” method that is a part of panel API. The method gets two parameters:
The XPath like expression has to satisfy number of requirements:
Let’s imagine we have the following UI hierarchy:
zcan ("zebkit.ui.zCanvas")
|
+-- root ("zebkit.ui.Panel")
+-- pan1 ("zebkit.ui.Panel")
| |
| +-- lab1 ("zebkit.ui.Label")
| +-- tf1 ("zebkit.ui.TextField")
|
+-- pan2 ("zebkit.ui.Panel")
|
+-- ta1 ("zebkit.ui.TextArea")
+-- bt1 ("zebkit.ui.Button")
Then examples of path expressions and traversing results are shown in the table below:
| Path | Result |
|---|---|
|
zcan.byPath(“//*”, callback) | root, pan1, lab1, tf1, pan2, ta1, bt1 |
|
zcan.byPath(“/*”, callback) | root |
|
zcan.byPath(“./zebkit.ui.Panel”, callback) | zcan, root |
|
zcan.byPath(“//zebkit.ui.Label”, callback) | lab1 |
|
zcan.byPath(“//~zebkit.ui.Label”, callback) |
lab1, tf1, ta1 (since tf1 and ta1 are instances of "zebkit.ui.Label" class) |
|
zcan.byPath(“/*/*“,callback) | pan1, pan2 |
|
pan1.byPath(“./*“,callback) | pan1, lab1, tf1 |
It is possible to use id shortcut path to find a component by its id (if the id has been set with “setId(id)” method). The shortcut path expression starts form ”#” prefix that precedes an id value:
// found component in hierarchy by its id
var foundComp = root.byPath("#test");
Optionally path part can include property value filter that defines a property value traversing component have to match:
// find all visible labels component
root.byPath("//zebkit.ui.Label[@isVisible=true]",function(found) {
...
});
// find all labels component that defines id property
root.byPath("//zebkit.ui.Label[@id]", function(foundComp) {
...
});
XPath like expressions can be optionally used with other “zebkit.ui.Panel” API methods:
// Make visible all child text field components on ll level
// for the root
root.properties("//zebkit.ui.TextField", { visisble: true });
// Register listener for all found button components
// that are child of the root recursively
root.on("//zebkit.ui.Button", function(button) {
...
});
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
|
x,y setLocation(x,y) | component coordinates relatively to its parent component |
|
width,height
setSize(w,h) | component size and component size method setter |
| setBounds(x,y,w,h) | component bounds (location and size) setter |
|
getPreferredSize() setPreferredSize(w,h) | the size the component desires to have plus border and padding gaps. The getter method returns result as "{ width:intValue, height:intValue }" data structure. The "pure" preferred size of a component is calculated by its layout manager. Layout manager implements special "calcPreferredSize(comp)" method that does the calculation. The "pure" preferred size does not include border and padding gaps. |
|
left,right,top,bottom, setPaddings(t,l,r,b) setPadding(p) | component paddings and appropriate setters to setup the paddings. |
|
getLeft(),getRight() getTop(),getBottom() | calculated gaps as amount of padding and border gaps. |
|
border.getLeft(),border.getRight() border.getTop(),border.getBottom() | border gaps if border is has been defined for the component |
For the sake of performance UI component saves its state to avoid redundant preferred size calculation, repainting and lay outing. The state can be valid or invalid. Developer can check the component state by accessing “isValid” boolean property. The following methods allow developers to control a component state:
In most cases developers should not care to much about UI component validation and invalidation. Proper invalidation and validation is implemented in particular UI component basing on its specific implementation. UI Component API methods do validation and invalidation when it is necessary. Just use it as is with no extra thought regarding its internal implementation.

FormController
keeps track of all its controls and nested forms as well as the state of them,
such as being valid/invalid or dirty/pristine.
Each form directive creates an instance
of FormController
.
$addControl();
Register a control with the form.
Input elements using ngModelController do this automatically when they are linked.
$removeControl();
Deregister a control from the form.
Input elements using ngModelController do this automatically when they are destroyed.
$setValidity();
Sets the validity of a form control.
This method will also propagate to parent forms.
$setDirty();
Sets the form to a dirty state.
This method can be called to add the 'ng-dirty' class and set the form to a dirty state (ng-dirty class). This method will also propagate to parent forms.
$setPristine();
Sets the form to its pristine state.
This method can be called to remove the 'ng-dirty' class and set the form to its pristine state (ng-pristine class). This method will also propagate to all the controls contained in this form.
Setting a form back to a pristine state is often useful when we want to 'reuse' a form after saving or resetting it.
$pristine
| boolean | True if user has not interacted with the form yet. |
$dirty
| boolean | True if user has already interacted with the form. |
$valid
| boolean | True if all of the containing forms and controls are valid. |
$invalid
| boolean | True if at least one containing control or form is invalid. |
$error
| Object | Is an object hash, containing references to all invalid controls or forms, where:

Using Torch Ranker Agent¶
Authors: Emily Dinan
TorchRankerAgent is an abstract parent class for PyTorch models that rank possible responses from a set of possible candidates. It inherits from TorchAgent and contains boilerplate code for training and evaluating ranking models.
Example Models¶
Several existing models in ParlAI inherit from TorchRankerAgent. Try some of the examples below:
Train a Transformer Ranker model on ConvAI2:
python examples/train_model.py -m transformer/ranker -t convai2 -mf /tmp/tr_convai2_test
Train a Memory Network model on Daily Dialog:
python examples/train_model.py -m memnn -t dailydialog -mf /tmp/memnn_dd_test -bs 20 -cands batch -ecands batch
Train a BERT-based Bi-Encoder ranker model on Twitter:
python examples/train_model.py -m bert_ranker/bi_encoder_ranker -t twitter -mf /tmp/bert_twitter_test -bs 10 -cands batch -ecands batch --data-parallel True
Creating a Model¶
In order to write a ranking model that inherits from TorchRankerAgent, you must implement the following functions:
def score_candidates(self, batch, cand_vecs, cand_encs=None):
"""This function takes in a Batch object as well as a Tensor of
candidate vectors. It must return a list of scores corresponding to
the likelihood that the candidate vector at that index is the
proper response. If `cand_encs` is not None (when we cache the
encoding of the candidate vectors), you may use these instead of
calling self.model on `cand_vecs`.
"""
pass
def build_model(self):
"""This function is required to build the model and assign to the
object `self.model`.
"""
pass
Training a Model¶
Setting --candidates
¶
This flag is used to determine which candidates to rank during training. There are several options:
Possible sources of candidates:
batch:
Use all labels in the batch as the candidate set (with all but the example’s label being treated as negatives). Note: with this setting, the candidate set is identical for all examples in a batch. This option may be undesirable if it is possible for duplicate labels to occur in a batch, since the second instance of the correct label will be treated as a negative.
batch-all-cands:
Use all inline candidates in the batch as candidate set. Note 1: This can result in a very large number of candidates. Note 2: In this case we will deduplicate candidates. Note 3: just like with ‘batch’ the candidate set is identical for all examples in a batch.
inline:
If each example comes with a list of possible label candidates, use those. Each teacher act for the task should contain the field ‘label_candidates’. Note: With this setting, each example will have its own candidate set.
fixed:
Use a global candidates list, provided by the user. If self.fixed_candidates is not None, use a set of fixed candidates for all examples. Note: this setting is not recommended for training unless the universe of possible candidates is very small. To use this, add the path to your text file with the candidates to the flag
--fixed-candidates-path
or-fcp
.
Tracking ranking metrics¶
During training, we omit some ranking metrics (like hits@k) for the sake of
speed. To get these ranking metrics, use the flag --train-predict True
.
Evaluating a Model¶
Evaluating on a fixed candidate set¶
As during training, you must add the path to your text file with the
candidates to the flag --fixed-candidates-path
or -fcp
.
For many models, it’s convenient to cache the the encoding of the candidates
in the case that the encoding is independent of the context. In order to do
this and save to a file, set the flag --encode-candidate-vecs True
. In
order to do this, you must implement the function encode_candidates()
which takes in a batch of padded candidates and outputs a batch of candidates
encoded with the model.
Evaluating on “vocab” candidates¶
In addition to the options above for evaluating a model, we also have the
option of evaluating “vocab” candidates. This is one global candidate list,
extracted from the vocabulary with the exception of self.NULL_IDX
.

UAE eyes new frontiers with law to regulate space tourism
DUBAI: The Yemeni army regained control of areas in western Marib province after clashes with the Houthi militia, state news agency SPA reported on Saturday.
The attack resulted to multiple casualties amongst the militia including deaths, wounds and destroyed vehicles, a statement released by the Yemeni Armed Forces media center said.
Earlier this month, Yemeni President Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi instructed all state bodies and institutions to immediately implement the Riyadh agreement and its provisions.
“We wish this agreement would tear a page of suffering and open a new page that deserves to be experienced by the entire Yemeni people to meet their hopes and aspirations,” Hadi said.


Raspberry Pi + Harddrive + Emoncms, plus a TV connected to the RPI and keyboard.
RPI start the multicolor screen, then about 3-4 pages of white text lines on a black screen, then stops.
The keyboard is ok, but no echo on the screen, only the LF-CR is functional. There is no prompt, and the ethernet connection is not operative. Swapping the USB ports connection do not make any difference. Disconnecting and reconnecting the USB keyboard is detected and displayed on screen, same for HD cable.
The SD card and the HD image has been created without errors and the contents can be browsed when connecte to my PC-USB port. The HD is a working 80GB PATA in an external powered box. The RPI is OK with a 4GB SD with stand alone OS, Apache, MySql, etc..
Any clue to fix it?
Re: Raspberry Pi + Harddrive partial boot
I had a quite similar issue. It was link to a non supported legacy USB to PATA controller. You should try with another interface or HDD.
Re: Raspberry Pi + Harddrive partial boot
Which software have you installed, ready made image, apt-get package or did you follow a guide, if so which one?
There will usually be an indication of what is at fault in the "3-4 pages of text" are there any lines with the words "fail" or "error" ?
What is the last line when the script stops? does it tell you to do something like use control-? to continue/do checks etc?
Do you have another sd card that you can pop in and boot to and then access the hdd to check?

| 00 |
Unspecified |
Status is not specified (as distinct from unknown): the default if the <PublishingStatus> element is not sent. Also to be
used in applications where the element is considered mandatory, but the sender of the ONIX message chooses not to pass on
status information
|
| 01 |
Cancelled |
The product was announced, and subsequently abandoned; the <PublicationDate> element in ONIX 2.1 or its equivalent in <PublishingDate>
in ONIX 3.0 must not be sent
|
| 02 |
Forthcoming |
Not yet published, must be accompanied by the expected date in <PublicationDate> in ONIX 2.1, or its equivalent in the <PublishingDate>
composite in ONIX 3.0
|
| 03 |
Postponed indefinitely |
The product was announced, and subsequently postponed with no expected publication date; the <Publication Date> element in
ONIX 2.1, or its equivalent as a <PublishingDate> composite in ONIX 3.0, must not be sent
|
| 04 |
Active |
The product was published, and is still active in the sense that the publisher will accept orders for it, though it may or
may not be immediately available, for which see <SupplyDetail>
|
| 05 |
No longer our product |
Ownership of the product has been transferred to another publisher (with details of acquiring publisher if possible in PR.19
(ONIX 2.1) OR P.19 (ONIX 3.0))
|
| 06 |
Out of stock indefinitely |
The product was active, but is now inactive in the sense that (a) the publisher cannot fulfill orders for it, though stock
may still be available elsewhere in the supply chain, and (b) there are no current plans to bring it back into stock. Use
this code for ‘reprint under consideration’. Code 06 does not specifically imply that returns are or are not still accepted
|
| 07 |
Out of print |
The product was active, but is now permanently inactive in the sense that (a) the publisher will not accept orders for it,
though stock may still be available elsewhere in the supply chain, and (b) the product will not be made available again under
the same ISBN. Code 07 normally implies that the publisher will not accept returns beyond a specified date
|
| 08 |
Inactive |
The product was active, but is now permanently or indefinitely inactive in the sense that the publisher will not accept orders
for it, though stock may still be available elsewhere in the supply chain. Code 08 covers both of codes 06 and 07, and may
be used where the distinction between those values is either unnecessary or meaningless
|
| 09 |
Unknown |
The sender of the ONIX record does not know the current publishing status |
| 10 |
Remaindered |
The product is no longer available from the current publisher, under the current ISBN, at the current price. It may be available
to be traded through another channel. A Publishing Status code 10 ‘Remaindered’ usually but not always means that the publisher
has decided to sell off excess inventory of the book. Copies of books that are remaindered are often made available in the
supply chain at a reduced price. However, such remainders are often sold under a product identifier that differs from the
ISBN on the full-priced copy of the book. A Publishing Status code 10 ‘Remaindered’ on a given product record may or may not
be followed by a Publishing Status code 06 ‘Out of Stock Indefinitely’ or 07 ‘Out of Print’: the practise varies from one
publisher to another. Some publishers may revert to a Publishing Status code 04 ‘Active’ if a desired inventory level on the
product in question has subsequently been reached. No change in rights should ever be inferred from this (or any other) Publishing
Status code value
|
| 11 |
Withdrawn from sale |
Withdrawn, typically for legal reasons or to avoid giving offence |
| 12 |
Recalled |
Recalled for reasons of consumer safety. Deprecated, use code 15 instead |
| 13 |
Active, but not sold separately |
The product is published and active but, as a publishing decision, it is not sold separately – only in an assembly or as part
of a pack. Depending on product composition and pricing, it may be saleable separately at retail
|
| 15 |
Recalled |
Recalled for reasons of consumer safety |
| 16 |
Temporarily withdrawn from sale |
Withdrawn temporarily, typically for quality or technical reasons. In ONIX 3.0, must be accompanied by expected availability
date coded ‘22’ within the <PublishingDate> composite, except in exceptional circumstances where no date is known
|
| 17 |
Permanently withdrawn from sale |
Withdrawn permanently from sale in all markets. Effectively synonymous with ‘Out of print’ (code 07), but specific to downloadable
and online digital products (where no ‘stock’ would remain in the supply chain)

This serves as an introduction tutorial to using RequireJS. The tutorial is makes use of AngularJS and JQuery, and shows how you can mix AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) with more traditional methods, most especially where libraries you're using are not AMD-aware.
Specifically, AngularJS (as at time of writing) appears to not be AMD-aware. JQuery performs some magick when it determines that it's in an AMD environment, such that you can automagically use it from within an AMD. You might be wondering why you'd bother -- the answer is simply so you can ensure that you're getting the expected version of JQuery. JQuery (and other libraries with global registration) essentially overwrite themselves when included multiple times or from different sources -- which is why you may have noticed a JQuery plugin going "missing" or some other unexpected behaviour when embedding your previously golden JQuery-based application into some legacy system where your spiffy jQuery-2.1.1 (for example) is being overridden by a later load of, say jQuery-1.7.2.
Getting JQuery to be completely AMD does require some jumping through hoops, but we'll come back to that.

13/7, 8/7 is the correct play with the plan of priming White’s rear checkers. That play is correct both for money and at this match score. The difference is that at this match score 13/7, 8/7 is the only play that lets Red take White’s double. For money White doesn’t have a double after either play. Such is the power of the cube when training 4-away vs 2-away.

A long post of great quality with visualisations and equations. The most famous spiking models are introduced, as well as an introduction on dynamical systems and the different types of bifurcations. There is a Lot of information so it's hard to sink it all in but it serves as a great introduction overall.
Surprisingly, the results indicate that the JANET yields higher accuracies than the standard, LSTM. Moreover, JANET is among the top performing models on all of the analysed datasets. Thus, by simplifying the LSTM, we not only save on computational cost but also gain in test set accuracy!
Uber open source the monitoring tool they used to solve the Humanoid Locomotion task with genetic algorithms.
We show that unsupervised training of latent capsule layers using only the reconstruction loss, without masking to select the correct output class, causes a loss of equivariances and other desirable capsule qualities. This implies that supervised capsules networks can't be very deep. Unsupervised sparsening of latent capsule layer activity both restores these qualities and appears to generalize better than supervised masking, while potentially enabling deeper capsules networks.
A fundamental problem with few-shot learning is the scarcity of data in training. A natural solution to alleviate this scarcity is to augment the existing images for each training class. However, directly augmenting samples in image space may not necessarily, nor sufficiently, explore the intra-class variation. To this end, we propose to directly synthesize instance features by leveraging the semantics of each class. Essentially, a novel auto-encoder network dual TriNet, is proposed for feature augmentation.
We present a system for training deep neural networks for object detection using synthetic images. To handle the variability in real-world data, the system relies upon the technique of domain randomization, in which the parameters of the simulator−such as lighting, pose, object textures, etc.−are randomized in non-realistic ways to force the neural network to learn the essential features of the object of interest.
A new optimiser that claims to be as efficient as Adam while requiring little memory overhead (compared to Adam that stores the second moment estimators for every single parameter in the network).
Modern neural networks are highly overparameterized, with capacity to substantially overfit to training data. Nevertheless, these networks often generalize well in practice. It has also been observed that trained networks can often be 'compressed' to much smaller representations. The purpose of this paper is to connect these two empirical observations. Our main technical result is a generalization bound for compressed networks based on the compressed size.
Given an image of a specific modality (say a dog with a certain pose), you want to generate a similar content with new modalities (e..g a cat with the same pose. Or a lion with the same pose, etc.). This paper explores this idea. Since it's unsupervised, I see this as a sort of CycleGAN. Although here admittedly the novelty of the paper is that you can transfer an image to a number of different modalities (and not just one). Code and images here.
A few weeks ago we mentioned in this newsletter a new paper from Ha & Schmidhuber called 'World Models' where an agent was building a sort of mental representation of its environment. It wasn't very clear to me was all this was about. Well, this blog post is an easy and simplified explanation of the paper. It also provides an implementation.
Very interesting work. They present an algorithm called Evolved Policy Gradients which aim aim at improving the generalisation capabilities of agents. The core idea is to dynamically shape the reward function via an evolutionary algorithm. The whole process works in two steps: at a lower level, the agent tries to solve a specific task (like moving the arm to a given location) via SGD and at a higher level, the evolutionary algorithm modifies the reward function to lead to higher returns.
An alternative implementation of the Neuroevoluation paper from Uber. Uses Tensorflow and Gym.
A tutorial that introduces some of the recent Tensorflow high-level APIs used to create a model quickly. The post is the 4th of a series so some of the functions and classes that are used feel sometimes mysterious. Nonetheless, this post can serve as an introduction to NLP and can point you to some of those new ways of writing models with Tensorflow.
Unit testing models has been a dream of mine for a while... Well, this article is not ground breaking per say, but it at least shows that you can thoroughly test some of the properties of your model. Among the examples presented: is the loss different from zero? Do the tensors have the expected shape? Do all the parameters get updated? Do they get updated when they are supposed to? Oh, and can I say that some of the problems encountered by the author come from weird designs from Tensorflow, like setting the training of batch norm to false by default? :smirk:
A long essay which has been quite debated. My limited understanding of it would be: 'making a human-like AI is not going to be achieved in the near future. In the meantime, there are other challenges to tackle like how to structure AI as a 'human augmentation' system in such a way that is safe and stable. For instance: how to design a network of self-driving cars?'. He advocates for a new field that he described as the AI equivalent of civil engineering: civil engineers are building bridges and buildings that are safe and stable. Can we do the same?
Funny thing to do. Although I didn't really understand the equation he used to compute the slopes. Is it just me?
Some researchers used reservoir networks (yes) to predict the evolution of a chaotic system over time (the dynamic of a flame for instance) and observed quite astonishing predicting performance. Quote: 'As a ballpark estimate, you’d have to measure a typical system’s initial conditions 100,000,000 times more accurately to predict its future evolution [as well as the network did].'

Windows build instructions
Requirements
Just like Chromium itself, building Crosswalk for Windows requires Visual Studio and the Windows 10 SDK. Also similarly to Chromium, different Crosswalk releases only work with specific versions of Visual Studio and the Windows 10 SDK. The table below summarizes the requirements for each Crosswalk release that supports Windows.
| Crosswalk version | Visual Studio version | Other |
|---|---|---|
| 19 | Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 | Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) |
| 20 | Visual Studio 2013 Update 4 or Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 | Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) |
| 21 | Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 | Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) |
| 22 | Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 | Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) |
| 23 | Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 | Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) |
Additionally, you must use at least Windows 7 to be able to build Crosswalk. 32-bit installations are not supported. Also make sure your system locale is set to English, otherwise you might run into error messages such as "The file contains a character that cannot be represented in the current code page".
These instructions assume you have already downloaded depot_tools
,
bootstrapped it (ie. git and Python have been installed) and it is in your
PATH
environment variable. See the prerequisites page
for further information.
Environment setup
By default, when checking out Chromium as part of Crosswalk's check out process, the scripts will attempt to download Visual Studio from internal Google servers by default (this comes from Chromium).
The first thing you need to do then is to make sure this does not happen, as only Google employees are able to reach those servers. You need to install Visual Studio yourself.
When using cmd
:
set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0
setx DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN 0
The first command will set the environment variable for the existing prompt, while the second will set it for all future prompts.
See the prerequisites section if you prefer to configure those environment variables using a GUI.
Configure gyp
Older (< 23) Crosswalk versions are based on Chromium releases that use gyp as their meta-build system.
If you want to build one of those versions, make sure you follow the gyp setup in the section Crosswalk 22 and earlier: gyp setup at the end of this page if you would like to build for a different CPU architecture or adjust any build parameters.
Fetching the source code
Choose where you want to download and build Crosswalk. If you are using gyp and opted for having a
chromium.gyp_env
file, this directory must contain that file.cd C:\path\to\crosswalk-checkout
Generate a
.gclient
file. This tellsgclient
where to fetch Crosswalk from. It assumesdepot_tools
is in yourPATH
variable.gclient config --name src/xwalk https://github.com/crosswalk-project/crosswalk.git
Run
gclient sync
to fetch Crosswalk, all other git repositories it depends on as well as any additional helper files. If you are using Crosswalk 22 or earlier, this will also automatically run thegyp_xwalk
script in the end.gclient sync
Crosswalk 23 and later: GN setup
Starting with Crosswalk 23, GN has replaced gyp as the meta-build system for
both Chromium and Crosswalk. Its setup is a bit different compared to gyp, as
chromium.gyp_env
(and the GYP_DEFINES
environment variable) does not have
any effect, and the gyp_xwalk
is not used.
Instead, you use the gn
binary to both edit a file with your settings as well
as generate the files required by Ninja to build.
In order to build Crosswalk, you need to have at least one line in your settings to pull some default variables we set:
cd C:\path\to\crosswalk-checkout\src
gn args out/Default
A text editor will be shown, where you must add the following line:
import("//xwalk/build/windows.gni")
You can add other settings after this statement, such as is_debug = false
for
a release build or target_cpu = "x64"
to create a 64-bit build.
Once you have done this once, you can later call gn gen out/Default
to just
regenerate the ninja files based on your existing settings if you need to (most
of the time, this will be done automatically for you when building).
See Chromium's page about GN for more information, including other common settings.
Crosswalk 22 and earlier: gyp setup
Up to Crosswalk 22, both Chromium and Crosswalk used gyp as a meta-build system that generated the actual build system files used by ninja.
gyp accepts flags to change its behavior. They can be used to tell it you want to create a 64-bit build, for example.
There are two ways to define those flags:
Create a file called
chromium.gyp_env
on the directory where you will later callgclient config
andgclient sync
(so the one abovesrc/
). It needs to look like this:{ 'GYP_DEFINES': 'key1=value1 key2=value2', }
Use
set
and/orsetx
in a command prompt to setGYP_DEFINES
as an environment variable.
These values are read every time you run the src\xwalk\gyp_xwalk
script, so
whenever you want to change them remember to run the script afterwards.
To generate a 64-bit build instead of a 32-bit one, you can set target_arch
to x64
. For example, if you are using chromium.gyp_env
, its contents should
look like this:
{
'GYP_DEFINES': 'target_arch=x64',
}
Do not forget to run src\xwalk\gyp_xwalk
(it is run automatically with
gclient sync
) whenever you modify your gyp flags, otherwise your changes will
have no effect.
Building Crosswalk
Once either gyp or GN has been properly configured, it is time to build Crosswalk.
cd C:\path\to\crosswalk-checkout\src
ninja -C YOUR-BUILD-DIR YOUR-TARGET
You should replace YOUR-BUILD-DIR above with the appropriate directory
created with gyp or GN:
With gyp and a 32-bit build, it's out/Release
.
With gyp and a 64-bit build, it's out/Release_x64
.
* With GN, it's whatever directory you chose, such as out/Default
.
Special topics: Visual Studio integration
It is possible to use Visual Studio as an IDE when working on Chromium and Crosswalk with minimal changes.
gyp
If you are using gyp
, you need to set the GYP_GENERATORS
flag to
ninja,msvs-ninja
and call the gyp_xwalk
script again.
To build in Visual Studio, open xwalk.sln from
path\to\crosswalk-checkout\src\xwalk
and you’re ready to go. Select a target
and click Build (for example xwalk
, or xwalk_builder
). Please note that
xwalk.sln
actually has all the Chromium code as a dependency therefore
xwalk.sln has something like 600 subprojects which requires a pretty powerful
machine with a lot of RAM to be able to handle that correctly.
We suggest using the Funnel extension which allows you to select which subproject you want to load.
GN
If you are using gn
, you need to pass --ide=vs
to gn gen
.
GN will produce a file called all.sln
in your build directory. It will
internally use Ninja to compile while still allowing most IDE functions to
work. If you manually run gn gen
again you will need to resupply this
argument, but normally GN will keep the build and IDE files up to date
automatically when you build.
The generated solution will contain several thousand projects and will be very
slow to load. Use the --filters
argument to restrict generating project files
for only the code you're interested in, although this will also limit what
files appear in the project explorer. A minimal solution that will let you
compile and run Chrome in the IDE but will not show any source files is:
gn gen --ide=vs --filters=//xwalk out\Default
Chromium information
Most of the instructions described in this page are similar to Chromium's own instructions. We suggest you take a look at its instructions as well; it might help solve any questions you have after reading our documentation.

These carved basswood pieces were developed as gifts for comissioning AROTC cadets Michael Khan (Signal), Joshua Miller (Aviation), Emily Solon (Medical), and Robby Jackson (Engineer). Branch insignias were placed on tracing paper, and then dotted with a dremel. A carving tool and dremel with assorted bits were then used to excavate the areas surronding the insignia. Each insignia was then stained, and the entirety of the piece sanded.

The night started out when me and 2 other friends were trying to decide how to get are kicks for the night. So of course, we went to Wal-Mart.
On the way inside, one of my friends remembered that Diphenhydramine was pretty neat and that we could buy it at Wal-Mart.
So we went into Wal-Mart and stole 2 packs of 24-count pills, and then we found a 100-count bottle. We went back to my friend's house and the 2 of them dosed up with 20 pills each. Since I was driving, I decided I was going to dose when I got home. We went back to Wal-Mart where one of my friends bought a CD-player and we jacked 300 more pills.
It had been about 30 minutes and both my friends were not feeling anything. We hung out a little while, but after 70 minutes both my friends were disappointed that they were not experiencing anything. We came to the conclusion that they might have not dosed enough, or perhaps it was because they had eaten before we dosed.
I dropped my other friend off at his house, and went home. I had a nice conversation with my parents, and headed upstairs. I decided to dose 16 pills (400mg), because I did not want to do too much for my first time. I also had not eaten anything since 12PM (it was about 11:30PM). I got on AIM, and talked to my friends. One said I had to chew the pills to speed up the trip. I chewed the first two pills, but they were too disgusting for me. I swallowed the rest. One of my friends said he was seeing wavy lines on AIM.
About 10 minutes later I felt really hyper and got a slight headache. That lasted for about 20 minutes and I wasn't feeling anything at all. I waited around about 15 more minutes, and decided to watch some TV to pass the time. I was watching Sheep in the Big City (funny show).  I decided to get up and tell my friends via AIM that I wasn't feeling anything.
So I got up, but my body was very heavy. It felt like I weighed twice as much. I also could not balance at all. I felt a rush of panic coming on, but I relaxed and started to enjoy myself. I got on my computer and talked a little more. I decided to watch some more TV until I started tripping heavily. I was very anxious, because I have never hallucinated before.
So I watched TV for about 5-10 minutes, until out of the corner of my eye I saw my 7*Up can do a 90 degree turn. I was really amused by this, and told my friends about it. I started looking at things in my room, hoping to see more hallucinations.
One of the most amusing things I saw was my hub (it's a piece of network hardware), and how it kept on twitching. Almost like it was dancing. I saw a lot of things start to twitch and breath. This amused me for probably 25 or 30 minutes.
I got back on my computer and talked to some people, and this time everything I looked at seemed to be dancing. I got up and went to the bathroom (walking was very hard).
When I came back, I saw something on my desk. It was like a little ball. I looked at it closer and it unrolled and turned into a huge bug that resembled a praying mantis with wings. I grabbed a roll of paper towels and tried to hit it, but it hissed at me. This freaked me out (I screamed like a little girl) and turned on my light to get a better look at it. It turns out that it was a Halls Defence Supplement Drop wrapper. I laughed, because this was my first real trip.
After that, I kept on seeing things that were not there. Things like articles of clothing, shiny things, more bugs, and slightly translucent things that had a slight glow to them on my floor. I also saw a huge spider that crawled out from under my monitor (it was about 18' long). I am usually afraid of spiders, but I realized it was a hallucination and I just watched it. It did not bother me at all.
However, the weirdest thing is that I kept on seeing my parents. The first time I saw my parents was when I got up from my computer and my dad was standing there. I only saw him for a second or two, but it freaked me out.
The second time was more interesting, this time it was both my parents and they came into my room. They were saying something about picking up my room, and I kept on telling them to leave. I saw them again, later that night and they were just standing there talking about stuff. I also saw my sister, sitting on my desk. For some reason I thought this was hilarious (I knew it was a hallucination) and laughed for about 3 minutes. I saw my dogs a few times, and I kept on calling them to come over to me.
One of the craziest things about the trip was the auditory hallucinations. I kept on hearing my parents talking, sometimes yelling. I checked a few times, and indeed both of them were asleep. This bothered me at first, but once I realized it was indeed not real it simply amused me.
The only unpleasant experience I had was trying to fall asleep. I was in the half sleep phase for around an hour.  I also noticed that my mouth got very dry, and I seemed to get flushed. I think it was because I was dehydrated. Next time, I will keep a large glass of water in my room. I also was very nauseous for around 2-3 hours. This was unpleasant, because it was hard to keep anything (including water) down. I also slept a very long time (once I was able to sleep) - I slept for over 15 hours.
In retrospect, it was a very fun night. I was very amused by the hallucinations, and very happy that it didn't make me lose my mind (I knew what was going on the whole time). It was very fun, and had almost no bad side effects during the trip.

After completing my bachelors from Queens College at the end of 2015, I spent the first few weeks studying to take the GRE for graduate school. After the exam I went directly home to packed my bags and headed to the airport the next day to go to India. This was the first vacation I taken ever since I graduated high school back in 2010. The few weeks in India was a way to recharge my batteries and to relax after serveral semesters of stress. However, the vacation was coming to an end and I knew the stress was going to begin again.
Coming back home after a few weeks of relaxation, I was preparing myself to apply for jobs like my life dependented on it. I would take a few hours every morning to look at job postings and apply to the ones in the city. From the jobs I applied to, all I received were rejection letters. The despairation starting to grow. I began looking at all of the pros and cons of what I wanted to do and how far I was willing to travel. My main preference was looking for a position half an hour to an hour travel. However, the best idea was to expand my search area and took a random chance at a company. Turned out that company was located in Maryland.
Having a year spent at home searching for a job, I was accepted for a full time position and started that December. I was asked to look for a place and be ready to work the first Monday of the month. Waiting to the last minute, I found an apartment a week before I started work. As I started work, I was able to hop onto a new project the company received and basically worked on it for almost 11 months continuously. However, progress was very slow. Everytime there was a step forward two to three steps were taken back. That is when I thought going back to school or looking for a new job was the best path.


First, if you have worked at Focused previously you know that we have historically offered course and programs which focus on standardized test. While the Focused SAT, PSAT and ACT courses have been the hallmark of the Focused brand, in the coming years we hope that our Young Scholars programs will so supplement children"s early education that "test prep" per se will become a thing of the past. At Focused, we have always seen standardized tests merely as an opportunity to accellerate education, widen student perspectives, and fill in the gaps left by traditional education.
As a result of Focused"s increased educational scope in 2016 and beyond, some of the course offerings may be unfamiliar to Focused team members and clients alike. To increase awareness, this course generator and other portions of Focused"s new digital applications will take the time to explain new programs and features to any and all who are interested.
To learn more--or even ask a seemingly silly question--take advantage of Focused"s new educational assistant which is part of this application. CLICK HERE to activate the Focused Assistant.

1.2 The Life of PythonPython was invented around 1990 by Guido van Rossum, when he was at CWI in Amsterdam. Despite the reptiles, it is named after the BBC comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus, of which Guido is a fan (see the following silly sidebar). Guido was also involved with the Amoeba distributed operating system and the ABC language. In fact, the original motivation for Python was to create an advanced scripting language for the Amoeba system. But Python's design turned out to be general enough to address a wide variety of domains. It's now used by hundreds of thousands of engineers around the world, in increasingly diverse roles. Companies use Python today in commercial products, for tasks such as testing chips and boards, developing GUIs, searching the Web, animating movies, scripting games, serving up maps and email on the Internet, customizing C++ class libraries, and much more.[2] In fact, because Python is a completely general-purpose language, its target domains are only limited by the scope of computers in general.
Since it first appeared on the public domain scene in 1991, Python has continued to attract a loyal following, and spawned a dedicated Internet newsgroup, comp.lang.python, in 1994. And as the first edition of this book was being written in 1995, Python's home page debuted on the WWW at http://www.python.org -- still the official place to find all things Python.
To help manage Python's growth, organizations aimed at supporting Python developers have taken shape over the years: among them, Python Software Activity (PSA) was formed to help facilitate Python conferences and web sites, and the Python Consortium was formed by organizations interested in helping to foster Python's growth. Although the future of the PSA is unclear as I write these words, it has helped to support Python through the early years. Today, Guido and a handful of other key Python developers, are employed by a company named Digital Creations to do Python development on a full-time basis. Digital Creations, based in Virginia, is also home to the Python-based Zope web application toolkit (see http://www.zope.org). However, the Python language is owned and managed by an independent body, and remains a true open source, community-driven system. Other companies have Python efforts underway as well. For instance, ActiveState and PythonWare develop Python tools, O'Reilly (the publisher of this book) and a company named Foretech both organize annual Python conferences, and O'Reilly manages a supplemental Python web site (see the O'Reilly Network's Python DevCenter at http://www.oreillynet.com/python). The O'Reilly Python Conference is held as part of the annual Open Source Software Convention. Although the world of professional organizations and companies changes more frequently than do published books, it seems certain that the Python language will continue to meet the needs of its user community. |

Dear Sir, I am Engr. Ugo Nzego with the Engineering Stores Department of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources and member of Tenders Board. We have urgent need for a trustworthy foreign contact person with whom we can carry out a successful business deal. Federal Government has voted the sum of US$1.86 Billion for Local Production of food crops. The Government has also considered the impact of the importation of some food items like Rice, Beans, Frozen Chicken and Turkeys and other food stuffs on the Nations Foreign Reserve and have banned the importation of the items that could be produced locally. As a result, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources has been mandated to import Agricultural Equipments for supply to Local Farmers both at SUBSISTENT AND COMMERCIAL level to encourage them to produce enough food items for local consumption and for export to other African Countries. We have already started awarding new contracts for supply of the equipments to successful bidders. We want you to submit to us immediately your complete company name, address, your name as President or Managing Director / CEO of the company, your banking particulars:- (banks name address, telephone, fax and telex numbers. Your receiving number, swift and routing numbers), with these informations, we can get you properly registered as one of the contractors of FMANR who has already been awarded part of this contract for the sum of US$113.4 Million to supply some of the Agricultural Equipments parts of which we already have in our custody (stores). After receiving the above needed and stated information from you, we will process all the documentation and submit them for immediate approvals and the Federal Government will pay 25% of US$113.4 Million into your nominated bank account in the name of your company as the beneficiary, which is US$28.35M . In no time, the remaining US$85,050,000.00 Million shall be paid as balance payment or we together in agreement as partners will use another foreign firm's name that will carry out the supply of the remaining equipments as a sub-contractor to you in our documentation to receive this balance payment. We shall come to your country immediately this fund is in your account to share the US$28.35 Million. The sharing pattern should be negotiated by both parties concerned. However, be rest assured that no risk is involved or any scandal in the future, for we have done all our homework very well, nobody will be hurt during and after this transaction. It may also please you to know that all the GOODS that cover the 25% payment are on record, only us that are key members of the contract board committee has this knowledge and information. There is the serious need to keep this transaction secret and very confidential. To that effect, I would require your private phone and fax numbers for easy and confidential communication. I await your immediate response to this Proposal. Meanwhile, I look forward to establishing life long business relationship with you. The nature of your company or business does not necessarily have to be Agriculturally related but ownership of a company is a criterium for the project. Please reply immediately through this fax number 234-9-2726567. As soon as I receive your fax, I will call you on phone for detailed discussion. Best regards, Engr. Ugo Nzego.


If you see an error during the start up that says "another instance of JNA is already loaded in another classloader", this is what's going on.
Cause
Hudson depends on JNA for interfacing with native code. A part of JNA is written in JNI. While multiple Java classes of the same name can be loaded into the same JVM by using different classloaders (in fact that's what most servlet containers do to isolate each webapp), this doesn't hold for JNI — you can only load one copy to one JVM.
Because of this, if your servlet container has other applications that use JNA, Hudson will not be able to load it, and fail to start with this error.
Solution
- It's possible for this to happen when you redeploy Hudson without terminating a servlet container, if the JNA loaded by the old classloader doesn't get garbage-collected in time for the new one to start. If you suspect this to be the case, simply restart your servlet container and see if that eliminates the problem.
- If you are trying to have Hudson co-exist with other apps that use JNA in a single container (this includes deploying multiple copies of Hudson on different paths), you can put jna.jar into the container's shared library directory, so that all the webapps will see the same copy.
- Another approach is to run each webapp in its own JVM, then use Apache to aggregate them all under a single HTTP server. See Running Jenkins behind Apache for more details.


The idea of augmented reality -- the ability to look at a physical object through a camera and view annotations about the object is certainly not new. Yet, this apparently feasible vision has not yet materialized into a precise, fast, and comprehensively usable system. This project asks: What does it take to enable augmented reality (AR) on smartphones today? To build a ready-to-use mobile AR system, we adopt a top-down approach cutting across smartphone sensing, computer vision, cloud offloading, and linear optimization. Our
proposed system OverLay allows random physical object
tagging from camera's viewfinder. Later, these tags can be
seen by others from different angles, locations, and times.
Our approach does not require changes to infrastructure,
localization schemes, specialized cameras, or modification
to phone's operating system. Designed and developed for
current generation smartphones, our experiments in an indoor setup shows promising results. If made commercially available,
OverLay can immediately apply to city tourism, PoI discovery, infrastructure maintenance, and object privacy.
This work won best demo at HotMobile 2015 and appeared in ACM MobiSys 2015 main conference.

Inline events are what we've done so far. We have an element and place an event handler on it. For example, with the onclick attribute: click me. Now check the box and click again.
Instead of "inline" we attach and detach event handlers using JavaScript. This is likely the best approach as it is 100% cross-browser compatible. The onload() function in this page is a good example. We could also do body.onload() or document.onload(). In general window is the best to assure everything is ready to go.
Here is some text that has an event listener attached to it. Go ahead, try clicking on it, again and again.
Note that this paragraph does not have an explicit handler.

On Facts and Thinking 论事实与思维
There are two types of facts, and two types of thinking。 They can be combined into four techniques for making sense of the world。
事实和思维都有两个维度。 它们有四种组合方式，可以用来解释这个世界。
Facts 事实
A first order fact is one that is immediately relevant to a narrative or subject。 It is usually presented as a detail in the description of the narrative or subject。 Its purpose is to convey information。 An example of a first order fact is that the sky is blue on sunny days。
事实的初级维度就是可以立即得出结论相关的解说或主题。 它通常表现在对事物的详细描述。 它的目的就是信息的相互转化和传递。 举个初级事实的例子就是，晴天的天空是蓝色的。
A higher order fact is a fact that is not immediately relevant to a narrative or subject, but which can influence opinion about the subject。
高级事实不能立即得出相关的解说或主题，但可以对主题产生影响。
American dinner tables are home to the most common example of a higher-order fact。 A child who will not finish dinner is met with the fact that “there are starving children in Africa”。 The subject is dinner, and people in Africa are not immediately relevant。 The higher order fact is used to make the child eat, not to communicate information。
在餐桌上吃饭的美国儿童在剩饭的时候，被父母告知，非洲的儿童还在挨饿，这就是一个高级事实的例子。这儿的主题是吃饭,非州的儿童不会立即与之相关联。高级事实用做为了让孩子不剩饭,而不是为了去交流信息。
Thinking 思考
First order thinking is concerned with correlations。 Given a fact, what argument can be made via correlation? An example of first order thinking is, Given that Chicago’s south and north sides are very segregated, it must be true that Chicagoans are racist。
思维的初级维度，就是联想。 给出一个事实，通过联想可以得出什么主题？ 举个例子，芝加哥的南北部分是相互隔离的，那就可以得出芝加哥人有种族主义倾向。
Higher order thinking is concerned with causations。 In a word, higher order thinking is an exploration of why facts emerge。
高级思维是思考事物的深层原因。 总而言之，高级思维就是探索事实出现的原因所在。
Higher order thinking approaches city-wide segregation differently: We can conclude nothing about the individual citizens of Chicago from the fact that Chicago is segregated at a macro level。
高级思维分析问题的方式是不同的:我们不能通过芝加哥宏观的种族隔离事实得出关于芝加哥公民个人的任何结论。
Making Sense 有意义
There are four ways to combine facts and thinking。 They are represented in the table below。
事实和思维有四种组合方式。通过下面的表格展现。
| -- | First Order Thinking | Higher Order Thinking |
| First Order Facts | Utility | Wisdom |
| Higher Order Facts | Manipulation | Conspiracy Theory |
| -- | 初级思维 | 高级思维 |
| 初级事实 | 实用性 | 智慧 |
| 高级事实 | 操纵 | 阴谋 |
First order thinking applied to first order facts is useful。 This combination makes survival possible。 A wolf does not chase the fastest deer (fact) because it usually escapes (thinking)。 Just as the deer know to run from the wolf。 Humans use first order thinking and facts to navigate simple systems in daily life。 Traffic lights, bank statements, hunger。
初级思维结合初级事实是实用的。这种组合是生存的基本技能。 一只狼是不会追赶跑的最快的那只鹿的，因为狼明白这只鹿通常情况下是能逃脱的，它自己只是徒劳。就像鹿明白它必须逃脱狼一样。人们使用这种组合处理他们每天的日常生活索事。交通红绿灯,生活花销,饥饿。
Higher order thinking applied to first order facts is wise。 This method of analysis is used to navigate complex systems safely。 It requires the most discipline。 You must temper your desire to jump to conclusions, explore the search space of possible conclusions, and generate probabilities of truth。 The very wise can perform this calculation unconsciously。 They have encoded their wisdom in myths and traditions。 Jesus turns the other cheek。 Odysseus returns home。
高级思维结合初级事实是明智的。这种分析方法用来正确的明辨复杂的是非问题。它要求非常的原则性。你必须克制尽快得出结论的欲望,而是去尽可能的探索更多的可能的结论,发现更多的可能的事实真相。明智的人可以无意识的使用这种分析方式,他们把这种智慧应用到平常和不可思异的事情之中。奥德修斯打了耶稣的左脸颊,耶稣转过右边的脸颊后, 奥德修斯回家了。
First order thinking applied to higher order facts is manipulative。 It is concerned with influencing action。 A comedian applies first order thinking to higher order facts to generate laughter。 A politician applies first order thinking to higher order facts to generate fear。 The method works by first choosing a desired action an audience should take and second choosing a conclusion that will likely invoke the action。 Last, a cause-effect relationship is assumed between a fact and the desired conclusion, where there is only correlation。 Any fact can be chosen to illustrate the conclusion。 This type of sense-making has exploded in recent years, as it can be used to build a following online。 An example of first order thinking applied to higher order facts is framing the American Revolution as “Rich white slave owners didn’t want to pay taxes”。 The desired action is for the audience to distrust the foundation of the United States。
初级思维结合高级事实是操纵或控制。它和影响人的行为有关。一个喜剧演员通过初级思维结合高级事实逗大家大笑,一个政治家使用初级思维结合高级事实制造恐怖。它的工作方式是通过先选择一个观众应该会产生的预期行为,然后再选择一个可以引起这个预期行为的结论,最后,假定这个预期的行为与这个结论存在因果关系,哪怕它仅仅只有一点关联。任何的事实都可以用来解释这个结论,这种典型的暗示或意会技巧因为可以用来吸引在线粉丝而在这几年呈现指数式增长。一个初级思维结合高级事实的例子是用 “富有的白人奴隶主不想纳税” 来组织美国的革命。在这个例子中预期的行为就是让民众不相信美国治国的基本原则是正确的。
Higher order thinking applied to higher order facts is elsewhere called conspiracy theory。 First, a desired conclusion is assumed to be true。 Given the conclusion, any fact may be selected to support it。 Cause-effect relationships are traced backward from the conclusion until a complete argument is formed。 The monster under a child’s bed is born of higher order thinking and higher order facts。
高级思维结合高级事实在有的地方被称为是阴谋论的原理。假定一个预期的结论是正确的,根据这个结论,任何被选中的事实都可以用来支持它,从这个结论开始追踪因果关系 ,直到形成一个完整的论据。孩子床下的怪物就是由这种高级思维结合高级事实产生的。
There are two types of facts and two types of thinking。 These are the four ways of making sense。
事实和思维都有两个维度。 它们有四种组合方式，可以用来解释这个世界。
We may now deploy trust。

CREDAI to hold third property show in Kurnool
‘The exhibition, with over 70 stalls, will showcase construction products’
by Staff ReporterThe Kurnool Chapter of Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (CREDAI) is set to launch a massive property show in Kurnool on November 22 on the STBC College grounds. This is the third of its kind to be set up in the city.
Addressing the mediapersons on Wednesday, G. Ramana, president of Kurnool CREDAI, said the event would last for three days, from 22 to 24 and would be inaugurated by Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath Reddy.
The exhibition, with an aim to bring awareness among prospective home buyers and owners, would house over 70 stalls to showcase various construction products, Mr. Ramana added.
Of these 70 stalls, eight have been dedicated to the builders to showcase various constructions across the city including apartments, independent houses, and commercial complexes. The rest will focus on material suppliers, layout developers, interior designers, bankers, and even motor vehicle companies.
Vehicles to be on display
“We have also roped in Honda, KIA, and Mahindra to showcase their vehicles in the property show,” Mr. Ramana added.
Apart from that, the CREDAI has also arranged special prayers with ISKON as part of the Karthika Masam festivities.
Convenor of the property show N. Srinivasa Rao and CREDAI secretary J. Suresh Kumar Reddy have also taken part in the conference.


Trade deficit falls by 33.5% during July-Oct of FY19-20
by https://www.dawn.com/authors/4797/tahir-sherani, Tahir SheraniOver the first four months of fiscal year 2019-20, the country's trade deficit decreased significantly by 33.5 per cent, a report by the Ministry of Commerce revealed on Saturday.
Trade deficit fell from $11.7 billion recorded from July-October of FY18-19 to $7.8bn during the same period this year.
The decrease in trade deficit can largely be attributed to a fall in imports, which recorded a decline of 19.3pc. Imports during the period of July-October 2019 amounted to $15.3bn as opposed to $19bn during the same period last year.
Exports, meanwhile, saw a meagre rise of 3.6pc and grew from $7.3bn to $7.5bn.
During the month of October, trade deficit fell by 32pc and was recorded at $1.97bn as opposed to last year's $2.9bn.
Exports in the month of October of the current fiscal year increased by 6pc, rising from $1.9bn to $2bn. Imports fell by 17pc and were recorded at $3.9bn as opposed to $4.8bn from last year.

When I got blocked on a simple problem?
What was the problem: I couldn't figure out how to link my blogs to the index page. After a while I gave up but then got back on it and noticed the missing part of the code instantly and the problem was sorted.
What problem solving techniques did you use?: I took small breaks so that I wouldn't get frustrated trying to find the solution.
How did you feel throughout the process?: Anger, frustration at first and releif in the end.
What did you learn?:
When I solved a problem in an elegant way?
Not sure if it can be called elegant but I definitely did a lot of googling for some of the javascript questions. In the end I solved the question from what I had learned by googling similar problems. It was very cathartic when I found the solution to a compicated problem myself.

Hi,
So I'm in the process of building a system to monitor my entire electrical panel;
First step, is to get 1 CT working.
I'm getting weird results. Voltage here is 120 V.
+5 voltage divider, along with burden resistor... without CT attached, I'm seeing anything but 0?
loop{
irms = ct1.calcIrms(1480);
// Print power
Serial.print(irms * 120.0);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println (irms);
}
37.98 0.32
26.62 0.22
28.17 0.23
29.54 0.25
35.87 0.30
44.08 0.37
27.76 0.23
26.96 0.22
19.91 0.17
30.87 0.26
If I put the analog pin to GND, I get 0. Shouldn't I see 0 all the time also, without CT attached?
Sean
Re: no ct connected
Yes, you should see zero with no CT, but unfortunately this is a common problem. It is noise from the digital part of the processor getting in to the analogue front end. The rms calculation rectifies the noise so that it appears as a small current. You don't say what hardware you have. The emonTx V3 suffers least from this, as much care was taken at the design stage to screen and filter the supply to the analogue part. If you add a voltage monitor and use the calcVI method, you should see an improvement.
Re: no ct connected
Ok, that makes sense.
I'm using my own homemade board... i'll add in a ac/ac adaptor.
One thing I did calculate out, 0-30 amps, * 120 volts = 0 - 3600 watts. I want 1 watt resolution. So ideally need a/d 3600*2 = 7200 samples, or like 12 bits of resolution...
Re: no ct connected
It doesn't work quite like that. The (current) wave is digitised and then the power calculation is done, so you need enough waveform to get a reasonable approximation of the wave shape. And at very small amplitudes, everything depends on where the quiescent mid-point sits in relation to the ADC steps. It gets very messy and I wouldn't like to calculate what happens. If you do indeed need that sort of resolution with a reasonable degree of accuracy, then you can't use the Atmel 328P and the in-built ADC, you need to go to a better ADC and you need to pay a lot of attention to keeping the digital hash out of the analogue side of things
The reason for the improvement when you add the voltage input is that the noise no longer gets rectified, so assuming the noise is random, the noise "power" - the product of noise current and voltage - is essentially random (though the envelope is modified by the voltage) and thus tends to average towards zero.
Re: no ct connected
With a burden resistor set up for 4kW max, I find that a 40W bulb gives a fairly consistent value which rarely fluctuates by more than a watt or two. If the value does drift, that's because the mains voltage has moved. All results of mine have been taken with the 10-bit ADC in the Atmega 328P I always use a voltage sensor, and recordable power values are averaged over at least a second.
For the MK PV Router's operation, power is evaluated over every individual mains cycle, and those values do jump about a bit. But when averaged over a second or more, the overall value for energy-flow always settles down nicely.

Climate Change: Basic Information
On This Page
- Climate change is happening
- Humans are largely responsible for recent climate change
- Climate change affects everyone
- We can make a difference
Climate change is happening
Our Earth is warming. Earth's average temperature has risen by 1.5°F over the past century, and is projected to rise another 0.5 to 8.6°F over the next hundred years. Small changes in the average temperature of the planet can translate to large and potentially dangerous shifts in climate and weather.
The evidence is clear. Rising global temperatures have been accompanied by changes in weather and climate. Many places have seen changes in rainfall, resulting in more floods, droughts, or intense rain, as well as more frequent and severe heat waves.
The planet's oceans and glaciers have also experienced some big changes – oceans are warming and becoming more acidic, ice caps are melting, and sea levels are rising. As these and other changes become more pronounced in the coming decades, they will likely present challenges to our society and our environment.
What are climate change and global warming?
Global warming refers to the recent and ongoing rise in global average temperature near Earth's surface. It is caused mostly by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Global warming is causing climate patterns to change. However, global warming itself represents only one aspect of climate change.
Climate change refers to any significant change in the measures of climate lasting for an extended period of time. In other words, climate change includes major changes in temperature, precipitation, or wind patterns, among other effects, that occur over several decades or longer.
Learn more about the signs of climate change in the United States.
Humans are largely responsible for recent climate change
Over the past century, human activities have released large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The majority of greenhouse gases come from burning fossil fuels to produce energy, although deforestation, industrial processes, and some agricultural practices also emit gases into the atmosphere.
Greenhouse gases act like a blanket around Earth, trapping energy in the atmosphere and causing it to warm. This phenomenon is called the greenhouse effect and is natural and necessary to support life on Earth. However, the buildup of greenhouse gases can change Earth's climate and result in dangerous effects to human health and welfare and to ecosystems.
The choices we make today will affect the amount of greenhouse gases we put in the atmosphere in the near future and for years to come.
Learn more about the causes of climate change.
Climate change affects everyone
Our lives are connected to the climate. Human societies have adapted to the relatively stable climate we have enjoyed since the last ice age which ended several thousand years ago. A warming climate will bring changes that can affect our water supplies, agriculture, power and transportation systems, the natural environment, and even our own health and safety.
Some changes to the climate are unavoidable. Carbon dioxide can stay in the atmosphere for nearly a century, so Earth will continue to warm in the coming decades. The warmer it gets, the greater the risk for more severe changes to the climate and Earth's system. Although it's difficult to predict the exact impacts of climate change, what's clear is that the climate we are accustomed to is no longer a reliable guide for what to expect in the future.
We can reduce the risks we will face from climate change. By making choices that reduce greenhouse gas pollution, and preparing for the changes that are already underway, we can reduce risks from climate change. Our decisions today will shape the world our children and grandchildren will live in.
Learn more about the impacts of climate change and adapting to change.
We can make a difference
You can take action. You can take steps at home, on the road, and in your office to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the risks associated with climate change. Many of these steps can save you money; some, such as walking or biking to work, can even improve your health! You can also get involved on a local or state level to support energy efficiency, clean energy programs, or other climate programs.

EPA and other federal agencies are taking action. EPA is working to protect the health and welfare of Americans through common sense measures to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and to help communities prepare for climate change.

that's pretty easy. The only requirement is that your class has an encoding
method which returns a string representation of the encoded barcode. It should also
inherit the Barcode1D
class. As an example, this
EAN-8 barcode,
is represented by the string
"1010111011010111100110010010011010101011100101110010011101000100101"
.
In the string, "black" or "bar" is represented with a 1 and "white" or "space" is represented by 0. One digit
is one "X dimension" in length.  The image above
was created with the outputter's :xdim
option set to 2, i.e. 2 pixels, so the thinnest line possible
is 2px wide.
This string is what the outputter classes use as input when generating images etc for a barcode.
2D barcodes are similar to 1D barcodes with the only difference that their encoding
method should return an array of strings instead of a single string. 2D barcodes are thus
considered to be several 1D barcodes layered on top of each other. As an example, this QR Code,
is represented by this array of strings:
["111111100100101111111", "100000101001001000001", "101110100100001011101",
"101110101001001011101", "101110100011101011101", "100000101110101000001",
"111111101010101111111", "000000000011100000000", "111110111100110101010",
"011011010110110110111", "100101101001011000010", "110100000000010001110",
"100011111001001110010", "000000001101100111100", "111111101110110001110",
"100000100101110011101", "101110101010101111001", "101110101100111110100",
"101110101011000001000", "100000101000000101100", "111111101101000110010"]


Council sparks ‘Marmite-reaction’ with Alpine rodent Christmas lights display
The marmot display is a magnet for selfie-takers.
A council has sparked confusion by creating a 16ft ski-ing marmot, nicknamed “Marmite”, as the centre of its Christmas lights display.
Alton Town Council has spent £20,000 on the display, which has the giant Alpine rodent as its centrepiece.
Emma English wrote on the council’s Facebook page: “I just don’t understand! Whatever it is, it has no relevance to Christmas, it’s embarrassing and just plain ugly. I struggled to like the Christmas hat we had last year but this is another low.”
Carole Samuda added: “I could understand it if we had some connection to ski-ing but it seems a bit of an odd thing for Alton to have.”
But others were more supportive, with Caroline Wren saying: “I think it’s fantastic, the children of Alton will love this and Christmas is for them after all.”
A council spokeswoman said the design was chosen “to bring a smile to people’s faces, particularly the children”.
She added: “We realised that people were really keen to take selfies with it and it was definitely a talking point.
“Marmite this year is most certainly a talking point and has had over 25,000 views on our Facebook page alone.”
She explained: “The marmot was felt to be the most unusual, quirky, and was the best value.”


Using-tier-match.Rmd
tier_match
is the ultimate wrapper function in
fedmatch.
tier_match
puts together all of the
pieces from the package into one function, letting the user perform many
matches in one call. The function is excellent both as an exploratory
tool, while the user is still figuring out how they want to execute
their matches, and as a final matching tool that can be used in
production code.
‘tiers’ of a match are useful because there are hierarchies of matches. An exact name match between two companies is a higher-quality match than a fuzzy match, and fuzzy matches with various levels of cleaning can be different levels of quality.
The syntax of tier_match
is providing a core list of
arguments to the function itself, and then passing a named list to the
tier match. Each element in this list is itself a list, each of which is
a tier to match on, and it contains all of the arguments necessary for
that tier. All of these arguments will be passed to ‘merge_plus’ in
sequence, and each of the matches from each tier are saved and
combined.
tier_list <- list(
a = build_tier(match_type = "exact"),
b = build_tier(match_type = "fuzzy"),
c = build_tier(match_type = "multivar", multivar_settings = build_multivar_settings(
logit = NULL, missing = FALSE, wgts = 1,
compare_type = "stringdist", blocks = NULL, blocks.x = NULL, blocks.y = NULL,
top = 1, threshold = NULL
))
)
# tier_list
This list will perform three matches: ‘a’, an exact match; ‘b’, a
fuzzy match, and ‘c’, a multivar match. We can get a bit fancier and add
more settings to each, if we’d like. Remember that each element of each
tier has to be an argument for merge_plus
.
tier_list_v2 <- list(
a = build_tier(match_type = "exact", clean = TRUE),
b = build_tier(match_type = "fuzzy", clean = TRUE,
fuzzy_settings = build_fuzzy_settings(method = "wgt_jaccard",
maxDist = .7,
nthread = 1),
clean_settings = build_clean_settings(remove_words = TRUE)),
c = build_tier(match_type = "multivar",
multivar_settings = build_multivar_settings(
logit = NULL, missing = FALSE, wgts = 1,
compare_type = "stringdist", blocks = NULL, blocks.x = NULL, blocks.y = NULL,
top = 1, threshold = NULL
))
)
Let’s take a look at the rest of the syntax for
tier_match
:
result <- tier_match(corp_data1, corp_data2,
by.x = "Company", by.y = "Name",
unique_key_1 = "unique_key_1", unique_key_2 = "unique_key_2",
tiers = tier_list_v2, takeout = "neither", verbose = TRUE,
score_settings = build_score_settings(score_var_x = "Company",
score_var_y = "Name",
wgts = 1,
score_type = "stringdist")
)
#> Matching tier 'a'...
#> Time elapsed: 0.02 secs.
#> Matching tier 'b'...
#> Time elapsed: 0.01 secs.
#> Matching tier 'c'...
#> Time elapsed: 0.02 secs.
There are two types of arguments for tier_match
: those
that can be passed to merge_plus
, and those that are unique
to tier_match
. If anything of the merge_plus
arguments are listed in tier_match
directly (rather than in
tier_list
), those arguments are used in every tier. In this
example, we are always matching on ‘Company’ and ‘Name,’ so those are
placed in the arguments for tier_match directly. The arguments unique to
tier_match
and their defaults are:
tiers
is the tier list create by iterations of
build_tier()
. Required, no default.takeout
is a character vector, either “neither”,
“both”, “data1”, or “data2”. These settings describe whether or not to
take out matches in between each tier, and if so, what dataset to remove
the matches for.verbose
is a boolean. If TRUE
, prints tier
names and time taken to match each tier.The other arguments are all present in merge_plus
, see
documentation there for details.
The result for tier_match is a list with 4 items: the matched dataset, the unmatched data, and a match evaluation. Here’s what the matches look like:
result$matches[1:5]
#> Company Country State SIC Revenue unique_key_1 country state_code
#> 1: walmart USA OH 3300 485 1 USA OH
#> 2: walmart USA OH 3300 485 1 USA OH

#> 4: Bershire Hataway USA 2222 223 2 USA NE
#> 5: apple USA CA 3384 215 3 USA CA

#> 2: 3380 490,000 1 walmart 1.0000000 1.0000000
#> 3: 3380 490,000 1 Walmart 1.0000000 1.0000000
#> 4: 2220 220,000 2 Bershire Hathaway 0.9882353 0.9882353
#> 5: NA 220,000 3 apple computer 0.8714286 0.8714286
#> tier Company_compare multivar_score
#> 1: a NA NA
#> 2: b NA NA
#> 3: c 1.0000000 1.0000000
#> 4: c 0.9882353 0.9882353
#> 5: b NA NA
As you can see, the matches dataset has a column called ‘tier’ that
indicates which tier the match was from. It also adds any additional
columns added by the matching process. In this example, we see
‘Company_score’, created from the from the post-hoc scoring;
‘wgt_jaccard_sim’, the Weighted Jaccard similarity, created when using
the ‘wgt_jaccard’ setting of fuzzy_match
(see the
‘Fuzzy-matching’ vignette for more details); and ‘Company_compare’,
created from the multivar matching tier.
We also have a match evaluation, now filled out with more details broken down by tier:
result$match_evaluation
#> tier matches in_tier_unique_1 in_tier_unique_2 pct_matched_1 pct_matched_2
#> 1: a 2 2 2 0.2 0.2
#> 2: b 7 7 7 0.7 0.7
#> 3: c 10 10 9 1.0 0.9
#> 4: all 19 10 9 1.0 0.9
#> new_unique_1 new_unique_2
#> 1: 2 2
#> 2: 5 5
#> 3: 3 2
#> 4: NA NA
We can use this evaluation to figure out which tiers did the ‘best’ job matching, getting the most unique matches.
