The Food Concierge is an online enthusiast community that bridges the disconnect between the food we eat and where it comes from. TFC approached us at their infancy, desiring the branding and design language that would tell their story. We love these multifaceted projects, and worked with The Food Concierge to help focus and refine their narrative while translating it into a complete visual identity and web presence with a slick user experience.
We became the primary development team for all things digital for The Food Concierge, with the main task of developing the website and web app in close collaboration with the company's leadership team. As part of our long-term relationship with The Food Concierge, we designed content alongside the Communications group and produced material featuring various restaurant partners, special events, and more. As visual designers in charge of the brand, we helped cultivate the Food Concierge identity across all forms of media.

Thank you for choosing Subrosa to host your real life game. Here are some things you can do to make your game successful:
Sponsors encourage players to join and help to cut back on the money you have to spend out of the 70%. The Game Master interface includes tools to help get sponsors.
Telling perspective players about prizes early makes them more likely to register. Go out and get some sponsors and entice those potential players to join.
Creating posters and distributing hand bills are two easy ways to publicize your game. Social media is another great avenue to let people know about your game. And obviously word-of-mouth is king.
Eliminate any players who break the rules or otherwise present a danger to other players. Be fair, be courteous, be the master of your game.

A blog post about blogging, in which I reflect on reflecting.
September 14, 2014
Dev Bootcamp emphasizes self-reflection as a part of its engineering empathy curriculum. All this means is that they think it is important to be in touch with how you are feeling and reacting to situations, so that you can be a better peer and colleague to those you are working with. In the past, I haven't made a habit of reflecting on my own state of mind, and my experience in DBC so far has proven to me how important those explorations can be.
We were asked to reflect on a lot of things. Some of them were technical - how did my approach to this challenge work? Did I learn anything new or were any technical concepts clarified? But some of them were more general, like how I felt about the challenge, what I enjoyed or didn't enjoy, and how confident I felt with the concepts. Taking a step back from coding to think about how I was approaching the questions was really eye opening, and I'm glad to have had the chance to do it.
This blog post is also about the process of blogging. I've never been a journal keeper, but I liked having the routine of posting to my blog twice a week during Phase 0. I am a definite perfectionist when it comes to the design of the blog - I spent easily 4 hours on Friday just redesigning some minor elements in terms of layout and styling. While I have occasionaly found CSS to be frustrating, it's immensely rewarding when you finally get it right. (This gif sums it up pretty well:)


I've spent most of my career managing a small, independent paint-your-own pottery studio. Over the years I've spent more and more of my free time tinkering late at night with command line tools, scripts and programming languages. A while back when an opportunity to use these hobbies at work came up I was so excited by the challenge and so proud of the results that I realized software development was something I could do well and be passionate about. I'm looking for a position were I can work with a team of people that are as curious as I am about learning how technologies work and solving problems. I really enjoyed working in customer service and I see those skills, of offering support and being empathetic and patient, to be a huge asset working with a team.
Before beginning my software engineering education at CodeFellows, I was studying to become a Registered Nurse at Skagit Valley College. I'm adept at coordinating, motivating and working within a team to reach our objective. I've always been interesting in computers, and after doing some research, coding really caught my interest.. Ideally I'd like to work with a team to design, create, and troubleshoot applications remotely, and I'd love the opportunity to develop my skillset further as an active member of a programming team. I'm inspired by problem solving and finding solutions, and my previously experience with teamwork in Law Enforcement help me to understand the value of a well coordinated team.
Hi, my name is Kevin Stone, I am a United States Navy Veteran with a secret clearance. While serving in the US Navy I worked as an Aviation Electronics Technician in the first half of my career, fixing RADAR equipment for F-18 jets, and for the second half, I moved into a more supervisory role. While in the Navy I got to hone my troubleshooting skills, leadership skills, and team management skills along with an assortment of other skills. At the tail end of my career in the Navy I was allowed to take a Microsoft Software and Systems Administration course that gave me a technical understanding of how the Azure Cloud works from a systems administration side. Although I enjoyed the class, I found myself enjoying writing scripts more than building out just virtual machines and networks. After diving more into what software engineers did I figured this would be the perfect role for me. The fact that I get to solve real world problems with code is the most rewarding thing.
I was working on Wind Turbines as a Wind Technician. It was mostly my curiosity that was sparked by some of my close friends mentioning for me to look into it. For an environment, it's just pretty much anywhere I can learn. My previous experience that helps me pretty much helps me in any situation is being very familiar with failure. I'm not going to be the smartest guy in the room but I do know how to get back up after a whole days worth of work turning out to not be the solution I needed.


Big show, bigger impact
In front of an audience of more than 1,600 people - including the guest of honour, President Halimah Yacob - performers aged six to 19 put on performances ranging from classical cello pieces to upbeat dance sets at yesterday's ChildAid 2019 gala. The 15th anniversary of the annual fund-raising concert raised $2.12 million. The funds raised will go towards The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and The Business Times Budding Artists Fund.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. Bla bla bla bla bla... Lorem Ipsum strategy hello world.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.  Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.

20 June 2005
On 20 June 2005, five new polio cases were confirmed in Indonesia, bringing the total number of cases to 51. Two of these cases are from Bogor district, one from Cinajur and one from Sukabumi, all in the province of Jawa Berat. The most recent of these new cases had onset of paralysis on 28 May, before the immunization 'mop-up' campaign held on 31 May to 2 June. The fifth case is from Demak district in Jawa Tengah, a hitherto unaffected province and outside the area where the 'mop-up' campaign was held .


Pacific Rim is the best movie that has ever been made in our life time.
The storyline of the show is what I consider peak fiction. The amount of action
between the kaijus and the jeagers is incredible. Character development
is perfect for the story. The tradedy is very realistic in correlation to the storyline.
This is the best movie ever.
Pacific rim is definitly not the best movie that has ever benn made. For example Now You See Me
stomps Pacific Rim in the ground based on storyline alone. The individual acting from everyone is
many levels higher than the acting in Pacific Rim. Now You See Me also has a better way of
grabbing and holding onto the viewers attention since the pace of the story is consistently interesting.
Each performance by the magicians unique and breathtaking. Overall way better than Pacific Rim.

[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> @Jellysmash I was corresponding with the building permit guy
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> It’s all about the paperwork
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> he already told me that there are already a few earthships in the surrounding hills
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> and earthships are not exactly standard buildings
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> Those are absolutely amazing structures
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> @CowboyCrypto- Founder I sent you all the emails between he and I
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> you probalby still have em
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> Yes I have them
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> I haven’t forgotten you lol
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> you better not beard man
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> I’m finding multiple ways to help ppl achieve their goals
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> Just gonna have to first prove it can be done
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> That’s the most important part
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> prove it on my 2 acres . .
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> you never mentioned though. How much were those 50 acres?
[dscrdeql] <spydr> Where are those 50 acres (generally)? Oh, yeah. And how much...?
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> I don’t remember I have it all written down
[dscrdeql] <CowboyCrypto- Founder> I’m in bed relaxing lol
[dscrdeql] <MySoulisNotForSale> hopefully with a cold beer
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> nice one @MySoulisNotForSale goo to start dealing with building permit guys
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> get over that hurdle
[dscrdeql] <Jellysmash> that'd be a big achievement

Suddenly Simple
My ‘earthshaking’ (for me anyhow) revelation on Monday has continued to variously wreak havoc and incite bliss in my consciousness (not to mention my dreamwork). Truly, the shift in consciousness I experienced in my truck at that moment was a massive perceptual re-arrangement. A bit scary, but endurable particularly given the ramification of the insight in almost every area of my life. Despite the $0.10USD words and elaborate psychological theories involved in this insight, the integration that followed has lead to a very simple experiential awareness applicable to most anything I have encountered in the last two days. Even at a corporate level my application of this new knowledge was accepted, respected, and assisted in furthering conceptualization of a multi-national dilemma, eventually to result in a book in an unrelated field, but for which I have supplied the title and premise.
Interpersonally, I have been struggling somewhat with this in a particular setting in which understanding is easily misinterpreted as sickness. However, my spiritual guide has assured me that a massive progression toward clarity has been set in motion and my discomfort is largely around the potential for conflict that this new knowledge lends. Fortunately, great suggestion was afforded me, and taken wholeheartedly, in how to manage conflict and differences of opinion in this particular social milieu.
It is surprising to me how my extreme desperation, and eventual submission through exhaustion, continues to be an integral part of my growth. In accepting this, I was initially dismayed at the unfamiliarity of being undeniably and consumingly lost. I see now that this is precisely the step that is required for increased awareness. To relent in direction finding allows one to observe reality for what it is: a falsehood, a misperception. Only then may one process the surroundings for what they truly are, be found, and select (yes, choice) a direction for conscious movement. I do not think that makes much sense and is poorly articulated, but hopefully it will remind me of the basic concept I had in mind this morning.
Three more books on Taoist philosophy arrived today from Amazon. Unfortunately, I have been given a deadline for a major task and will not be able to enjoy them any time soon. I will instead attempt to complete six months of work in two days: Saturday and Sunday. I may or may not succeed, but I will certainly succeed in trying. For now, I continue addressing the next most pressing project.
Job #2 changed drastically today as I made a new beginning. This time around, the subject matter involved in the work is dear to me and something that I am enthusiastic about. Some might even suggest I have a certain expertise in the subject. I continue to fight this presumptuous assertion, but must admit that my reasoning for attempt at remaining humble is based on a fine understanding of the fundamental tenets. Again, a paradoxical endeavor, but one that I most fully appreciate and revere, thus lending me what they are calling ‘expertise.’ Semantics is Chomsky’s area. I will stick to feelings in relationships.

I constantly work to improve as both a person and a programmer. I owe much of my success not to my intelligence, but to my hard work and ambition.
My utility belt
Java
Java is my first (and favorite) progamming lanugage. It will always hold a special place in my text editor.
HTML
My relationship with HTML is just starting, but I already feel extremely adept and confident in my ability to use it. Of course, you can judge for yourself based on your opinion of my website.
CSS
A great creative outlet. You can't have nice things without CSS.
C
My go to language for programming microcontrollers. Nothing beats C's low profile and memory management tools.
C++
I have a love hate history with C++ but I can't deny its power and utility. C++ has quickly become my strongest language as I find myself using it more and more.
jQuery
A new addition, but I am working hard to bring my knowledge and experience with jQuery up to par!
Design tools
Photoshop

4 Calculate Spatial Metrics
While we’ve generated some nice visualizations, we need insights quantified as metrics at the neighborhood level. Don’t start this step until you have a good idea of what you need. Visualizing and exploring the data in depth is best practice.
For our purposes, we’re interested in developing spatial access metrics with a container method approach. At the end of this tutorial, we’ll generate the following new variables:
- Total number of Methadone Maintenance MOUD by zip code
- Total number of Walkble MOUD Service Areas by zip code
Plus, we will have a new spatial layer, that includes the actual service areas (ie. 1-mile buffers of MOUDs). We assume that access to MOUDs is critical and requires high regularity, and that walking is the most likely option during COVID. This guides the parameter specification of MOUD Service Areas (and is also backed up by some literature in this space, though much more is needed.)
4.1 Load Spatial Data
Let’s first reload our spatial data – this will be the MOUD points, plus the master zip code spatial file.

4.2 Transform Projections
First we need to switch to a projection that uses distance in feet or meters as a metric. We’ll use EPSG:3435 from the first tutorial. To find which EPSG was recommended, I searched “EPSG Illinois feet” and EPSG:3435 came up as a viable candidate. So, we use that for our new, projected CRS.
We may want to once again confirm they are plotting correctly:
4.3 Count resources by area
One way of understanding resource inequity is by thinking about how many resources exist in a neighborhood.
First, give the points the attributes of the polygons they are in. Inspect.

You should have the same number of rows in pipr
as you do in points
. If not, there is something off. You may need to go back to troubleshoot. In an earlier version of this lab, I used a saved, written geojson
file of the zip codes, and it would not render properly. Here, we load in the original shapefile at the beginning of the tutorial to avoid that error.
## [1] 25 13
## [1] 25 9
## [1] 61 5
4.3.1 Count # per Area
Next, count the number per area. The frequency should be logical according to the map you made earlier. Sometimes, I’ve found bugs where the numbers are multipled by some factor; this can be checked by looking at dimension disparities, as noted above.
## Var1 Freq
## 1 60607 2
## 2 60608 1
## 3 60609 1
## 4 60613 1
## 5 60614 1
## 6 60615 1
How could improve on this step if you used dplyr
?
Aggregation Tip: What if you have an attribute value you’d like to aggregate? For example, average units of affordable housing facility by zip?
Try aggregate(pip$attribute, by = list(pip$geoid), mean)
but build on with a tidy sensibility…
Now we can rename our attributes:
## zip MetClnc
## 1 60607 2
## 2 60608 1
## 3 60609 1
## 4 60613 1

4.4 Buffer Data
Next, lets create a walkable buffer of one mile, or 5280 feet, for our MOUD provider locations. Individuals residing in places outside of that walkabile area may have difficulty accessing this medication during crises, like a pandemic.
Inspect immediately:
4.5 Count buffers by area
We know that MOUD locations are accessible up to one mile away. So, a total count of resources by area may be too restrictive. Let’s calculate how many walkable MOUD clinics are in each zip code. Or, how many buffers are in each area…

4.6 Integrate & Explore
Let’s review: our master area file now has total number resources by zip and total number of walkable service areas by zip.
Using your new spatial file, see if you can answer some of these quetions using various queries:
Which zip codes have high rates of COVID and are not within a walking distance of a methadone MOUD?
Which zip codes have worse access to affordable rental units, low educational rates, and less walkable access to MOUDs?
What is the demographic and racial/ethnic characteristics of areas most vulnerable to high COVID rates in September 2020?

Virtualization is technology that lets you create useful IT services using resources that are traditionally bound to hardware. It allows you to use a physical machine’s full capacity by distributing its capabilities among many users or environments.
Imagine three physical servers:
virtualization technology can be sourced back to the 1960s, it wasn’t widely adopted until the early 2000s. The technologies that enabled virtualization—like hypervisors—were developed decades ago to give multiple users simultaneous access to computers that performed batch processing.
Virtualization’s widespread applicability helped reduce vendor lock-in and made it the foundation of cloud computing. It’s so prevalent across enterprises today that specialized virtualization management software is often needed to help keep track of it all.
Software called hypervisors separate the physical resources from the virtual environments—the things that need those resources. Hypervisors can sit on top of an operating system (like on a laptop) or be installed directly onto hardware (like a server), which is how most enterprises virtualize. Hypervisors take your physical resources and divide them up so that virtual environments can use them.
Resources are partitioned as needed from the physical environment to the many virtual environments. Users interact with and run computations within the virtual environment.
The virtual machine functions as a single data file. And like any digital file, it can be moved from one computer to another, opened in either one, and be expected to work the same.When the virtual environment is running and a user or program issues an instruction that requires additional resources from the physical environment, the hypervisor relays the request to the physical system and caches the changes—which all happens at close to native speed.
Types of Virtulization:

3 nuts |
oral |
Nutmeg |
(fresh) |
After reading about Nutmeg on Erowid and other sites, I felt the whole thing was a little bit shaky. I couldn't believe that something my mother owned in a spice cabinet could produce hallucinogenic effects. Despite all this, I decided to give it a whirl on a low dose.
Since pre-ground nutmeg appears to lack the hallucinogenic chemical, I bought some Nutmeg in nut form.
Now alot of people have a problem digesting this spice. Once the spice is ground up, people try an assortment of techniques in order to digest it. Well I found a simple solution. Don't grind it. Eat the nuts, bite down hard and swallow it with water. You don't taste it nearly as much and it is much easier than spending the time to grind it up. And now the experience:
10:30 PM : Seeking a new high, I go into the bathroom and munch down 2 nuts.
10:45 PM: Nothing at all yet.  I thought it would start working in an hour but I guess not. It was getting late so I hit the hay.
6:25 AM: This is where my alarm supposedly goes off. I cannot hear it and it takes my mom 4 times to wake me up fully. I get out of bed stumbling and into the bathroom. I notice something different and started to wonder if the nut really worked.
6:35 AM: Out of the shower and feeling quite stoned at the same time. It was a comfortable high and I felt no nausea at all.
7:15 AM: Outside, at the school bus, and the environment around me seems superficial and I am indifferent toward it. The feeling I was experiencing was similar to Cannabis but different. I felt as if my thinking was elevated, I could think deeper and more clearly, probing my memory was a snatch.
7:50 AM: Band class starts, and I feel a warm fold envelope me while I am playing my trumpet. It bonds the instrument with me and I play quite well. I am getting bad cotton mouth. Hey I thought weed was the king in this area, but I suppose not.
8:30 AM: Taking an incredibly important and hard test in English. The effects start to rise here during my test and entered a high state of euphoria. Thinking and problem solving was clear while I was in this state, much unlike what I expected.
11:30 AM: While eating my sandwich, I become fascinated by the fact that the Nutmeg was still going strong. It was about 13 hours since I took the dose and it was not letting up.
3:07 PM: The nutmeg is barely starting to let up. As soon as I feel that I'm sober, the feeling hits me again.
3:45 PM: I run out to the woods to smoke the wonder Marijuana and I was in anticipation in how Marijuana would interact with nutmeg.
4:30 PM: The high was very nice but very short lived. In fact I'm unsure whether what I'm feeling is from the weed or from the nutmeg.
7:00 PM: I'm typing this up and still feeling effects...
This was a very enjoyable high. I felt no nausea or discomfort. I have to admit that my planning was poorly thought out, though. Next time I do Nutmeg it will be way before bed and a much higher dose to achieve hallucinogenic states. I will refrain smoking weed with nutmeg again, as the weed does little to add to the effect. All in all, I'm amazed at what this spice you can find in grocery stores can do and will be sure to experiment with it later.

The clients are huge, and we generally have one that can fit naturally in the context of most article niches. In return, we pay generously for a single link for our clients.

Introduction: I recently learned we have some readers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration so I thought I’d share an old story. About 35 years ago my brother worked briefly as a clerk at NOAA in their D.C. (or maybe it was D.C.-area) office. His job was to enter the weather numbers that came in. He had a boss who was very orderly. At one point there was a hurricane that wiped out some weather station in the Caribbean, and his boss told him to put in the numbers anyway. My brother protested that they didn’t have the data, to which his boss replied: “I know what the numbers are.” Nowadays we call this sort of thing “imputation” and we like it. But not in the raw data! I bet nowadays they have an NA code.

A nice plug-in interface, so that people can extend Deducer’s capability without leaving the comfort of R. (see: http://www.deducer.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Development ) 2. Several new dialogs. 3. A one-step installer for windows. 4. A plug-in package (DeducerExtras) which extends the scope of analyses covered. 5. A plotting GUI that can create anything from simple histograms to complex custom graphics. Deducer is designed to be a free easy to use alternative to proprietary data analysis software such as SPSS, JMP, and Minitab. It has a menu system to do common data manipulation and analysis tasks, and an excel-like spreadsheet in which to view and edit data frames. The goal of the project is two fold.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: Man Utd manager ready for Jose Mourinho 'circus' at Tottenham
by Simon StoneManchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared for the "circus" that will accompany Jose Mourinho's return to the Premier League.
Eleven months after being sacked by United, Mourinho returns to the dugout at the London Stadium on Saturday when his new Tottenham side play West Ham.
Spurs limited access to Mourinho's first news conference on Thursday and turned away scores of journalists.
"Jose coming back is going to be a spectacle," said Solskjaer.
The Norwegian had a glimpse of what was coming when he saw a television broadcast before Friday's news conference to preview Sunday's trip to Sheffield United, where it was made clear journalists would be asking about Mourinho, and the availability of the man he replaced at Spurs, Mauricio Pochettino, who has long-been viewed as a potential United boss.
Solskjaer tried to take command of the situation before he was even asked a question.
"Sorry to disappoint you but it is not going to be about Jose or Mauricio," he said.
Nevertheless, three of Solskjaer's first six answers were about those two, with a further question at the end about midfielder Nemanja Matic liking a social media post which suggested a further reunion with Mourinho - who has previously bought the Serbian when he was in charge at Chelsea and United.
 "Maybe for me as well because you can talk and write about everything else."
Tottenham's trip to Old Trafford for a Premier League game on 4 December will provide an unavoidable link between Solskjaer and the man he replaced, initially on a temporary basis, in the middle of last season.
Pochettino's name will be a longer lasting distraction.
The Argentine is favourite to be the next United boss and while club sources have repeatedly stressed how they view Solskjaer as a long-term appointment, any negative result is bound to be followed by suggestions the man who took Tottenham to last season's Champions League final should be appointed in the Norwegian's place.
Yet Solskjaer said: "It doesn't bother me at all because I've got the best job in the world.
"I am sure if you are in or out of a job and you are a manager, you would want this job, so it doesn't really matter whatever happens around it.
"I've got to focus on my job at Manchester United and do it as well as I can. I speak with Ed (Woodward) and the owners all the time about how we are going to move the club forward.
"That doesn't change if some other clubs change their managers."

'Still time' for Thailand to solve U.S. duty-free issue: U.S. commerce secretary
by Patpicha TanakasempipatBANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand still has time to renegotiate with the United States over a suspension of duty-free preferences on imports of Thai goods before the suspension takes effect in April, U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on Monday.
The United States last month suspended duty-free treatment for $1.3 billion worth of Thai imports, including seafood products, under its Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) programme, saying Thailand did not afford workers “internationally recognised worker rights”.
The loss of duty-free treatment, which Thailand said would incur duties around $60 million a year for Thai products, has stirred a sense of anti-U.S. sentiment among some in the Southeast Asian country that has been enjoying closer ties with China in recent years.
During a speech about U.S. commitment in Asia, Ross said that he would be remiss if he did not address the GSP issue given its publicity in Thailand.
“There’s still time to renegotiate the underlying issue of workers’ rights,” Ross said, noting the suspension was scheduled to take effect in April.
The value of the affected products accounts for 30% of Thai exports under GSP to the United States and around a “trivial” 0.38% of total Thai exports, Ross said.
“The GSP issue has been blown way out of proportion,” he said. “It’s no big deal.”
FULLY COMMITTED
Ross spoke at the Indo-Pacific Business Forum, which is aimed at showcasing U.S. investment in the region and highlighting that its presence matters.
While Washington only sent lower-level delegations to Southeast Asian summits this year without President Donald Trump nor Vice President Mike Pence, raising concerns that it could no longer be relied on as a counterweight to China’s increasing regional might, Ross gave a reassuring message.
“The Trump administration is extremely engaged and fully committed to this region,” Ross said.
“We will continue to negotiate trade deals with countries in this region.”

Report: Tottenham join hunt for Newcastle wonderkid Bobby Clark
by Tom ProcterTottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the chase for talented Newcastle United youngster Bobby Clark.
According to The Daily Mail, Spurs are the latest club to sound out 14-year-old Clark, who is rated as the Magpies’ ‘best schoolboy prospect’ by first-team manager Steve Bruce.
Clark recently caught the media’s attention for debuting for the club’s U18s.
He is apparently all set to feature for the England U15s next month against the Republic of Ireland and Turkey.
The Mail say the exciting youngster – son of former Newcastle star and current Blyth Spartans manager Lee Clark – is also being watched by Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
Apparently Clark – who was handed scholarship earlier this year – would prefer to remain with his boyhood club, but Spurs are ‘frontrunners’ should he and his family decide on a change of environment.
TBR’s view – One for the future
Clark appears to have a very bright future ahead of him in football, and will be being advised carefully amid all the reported interest from other big clubs.
Certainly Spurs will sound like an attractive proposition given the club’s advocacy for young players.
And, of course, the brand new stadium as a possible future home ground is bound to be a huge selling point.
Have something to tell us about this article?
Let us know


Gibberish – language that cannot be understood – is not quite the same as nonsense. In nonsense writing, we read
individual words but can’t parse them into any meaning that makes sense according to conventional expectations.
‘Colourless green ideas sleep furiously,’ as Noam Chomsky put it in Syntactic Structures (1957), in an example
of a semantically meaningless sentence with syntax present and correct. Gibberish, on the other hand, makes
indecipherable words out of the sounds and letters of language. The giant Nimrod, who, according to patristic
tradition, commanded the building of the Tower of Babel and thus shattered humanity’s single language into all
of the tongues of the world, is punished with unintelligibility in the Inferno of Dante Alighieri’s Divine
Comedy (1308-20). Guarding the Ninth Circle of hell, Nimrod calls out: ‘Raphèl maì amècche zabì almi.’ Ignore
him, says Virgil, his guide, for he cannot understand us, just as we cannot comprehend his words.

Frequently Asked QuestionsThese are some Frequently Asked Questions about the Universal 3D Sample Software and the ECMA-363 Universal 3D File Format.Special thanks to those that have contributed information to this FAQ. Please continue to submit additions, corrections and suggestions to help improve this FAQ for all users.
Contents
GeneralWhat is the U3D Sample Software?A set of C++ dynamic link run-time libraries to write, read, extend, render and interact with U3D-formatted data. It is intended to demonstrate how to perform such activities and to be used as a starting point for tools and applications to support U3D. Example clients include exporters, converters, importers, authoring packages and interactive viewers.What is ECMA-363?It is ECMA International's formal name for the Universal 3D File Format specification which describes a 3D file format and the minimal run-time architecture required to support it. The format is intended for downstream 3D CAD repurposing and visualization. Salient features include continuous-level-of-detail, compression, support for progressive data streaming and playback, as well as key-frame node and bones-based animation. 2nd edition of the standard provides extensibility of the format and run-time.Where can I get ECMA-363?The Universal 3D File Format specification is freely available from ECMA International* as standard ECMA-363.What is the U3D Sample Software's threading model?The U3D Sample Software is currently single-threaded and must be used in a single-threaded manner.
ConventionsAre there any coding conventions?Conventions for coding the U3D Sample Software do exist. There are general coding conventions and also specific ones for designing and using the IFXCOM component framework.What does NR at the end of a function name mean?Generally, a function name ends with the suffixNR if the function breaks the IFXCOM Coding Conventions and returns an interface pointer that has no reference count increase done. In other words, the interface pointer handed back is a weak reference and it is not necessary to call its IFXUnknown::Release function after it is no longer needed.
What does X at the end of an interface, component, class or function name mean?Generally, an interface, component, class and function name will have anX suffix if it throws known exceptions of type IFXException .
RenderingWhat is the lighting model?The lighting model used by renderer is as follows:
finalColor = material.emissive + material.ambient * global_ambient + sum( all light_factors )
Each NON-AMBIENT type light has a
light_factor[ i ] = attenuation_factor * ( ( material.ambient * light.ambient ) + ( material.diffuse * light.diffuse * ( vertex.normal dot light.direction_from_vertex ) ) + ( material.specular * light.specular * ( ( vertex.normal dot half_angle ) ^ specular_power ) ) ) dist = distance from light to vertex attenuation_factor = 1 / ( light.atten[ 0 ] + dist * light.atten[ 1 ] + dist * dist * light.atten[ 2 ] ) half_angle = normalize( light.direction_from_vertex + view.direction_from_vertex ) Each lightís color is multiplied by the light intensity before it is submitted to the rendering engine. So, consider that
light.ambient = IFXLight.ambient * IFXLight.intensity light.diffuse = IFXLight.diffuse * IFXLight.intensity light.specular = IFXLight.specular * IFXLight.intensity Lights that have a type of AMBIENT at the IFX level have all of their colors summed and set as a global ambient in the rendering engine.
global_ambient = sum( all IFX lights of type AMBIENT )

Wiki Processors
Processors are WikiMacros designed to provide alternative markup formats for the Wiki engine. Processors can be thought of as macro functions to process user-edited text.
The Wiki engine uses processors to allow using Restructured Text, raw HTML and textile in any Wiki text throughout Trac.
Using Processors
To use a processor on a block of text, use a Wiki code block, selecting a processor by name using shebang notation (#!), familiar to most UNIX users from scripts.
Example 1 (inserting raw HTML in a wiki text):
{{{ #!html
This is raw HTML
 }}}
Results in:
This is raw HTML
Example 2 (inserting Restructured Text in wiki text):
{{{ #!rst A header -------- This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_. .. [*] This is the footnote. }}}
Results in:
A header -------- This is some **text** with a footnote [*]_. .. [*] This is the footnote.
Example 3 (inserting a block of C source code in wiki text):
{{{ #!c int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; } }}}
Results in:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; }
Available Processors
The following processors are included in the Trac distribution:
- html -- Insert custom HTML in a wiki page. See WikiHtml.
- rst -- Trac support for Restructured Text. See WikiRestructuredText.
- textile -- Supported if Textile is installed. See a Textile reference.
Textile link above is rotten. this one works, allows to test example.
Code Highlighting Support
Trac includes processors to provide inline syntax highlighting for the following languages:
- c -- C
- cpp -- C++
- python -- Python
- perl -- Perl
- ruby -- Ruby
- php -- PHP
- asp --- ASP
- sql -- SQL
- xml -- XML
Note: Trac relies on external software packages for syntax coloring. See TracSyntaxColoring for more info.
By using the MIME type as processor, it is possible to syntax-highlight the same languages that are supported when browsing source code. For example, you can write:
{{{ #!text/html
text
 }}}
The result will be syntax highlighted HTML code. The same is valid for all other mime types supported.
For more processor macros developed and/or contributed by users, visit:
Advanced Topics: Developing Processor Macros
Developing processors is no different from WikiMacros. In fact they work the same way, only the usage syntax differs. See WikiMacros for more information.
Example: (Restructured Text Processor):
from docutils.core import publish_string def execute(hdf, text, env): html = publish_string(text, writer_name = 'html') return html[html.find('')+6:html.find('')].strip()

Overview
Welcome!
Our page here is intended to introduce you to how you, as a student or teacher, can improve your school by changing the way you think about the grading system.
- Bryant Chen & Matt Mahowald
Why We Made This
During our visits as AVID tutors to Cesar Chavez middle school, we engaged in discussions with the students on their perspectives on school and grades. It appeared that nearly all of them felt that there was too much pressure on them to get high grades, causing immense stress. At the same time, nearly all of them felt that grades were an important, valid metric that is used by college admissions to filter out applicants. Many of them would ask Matt and I if we had a 4.0 GPA in high school in order to get into Stanford. Matt and I realized that grades may be acting more as a demotivator for these students than as a motivator for academic achievement. Those who didn't believe that they could get perfect grades found little intrinsic motivation to work their hardest on their assignments. This module is intended to help students and teachers create a system of grading that internalizes an intrinsic love of learning.
How to Navigate
The pages presented here are intended to be navigated sequentially. After reading and engaging with the content on each topic, you should consider the thought questions that follow and write some notes in order to see how your understanding of grades changes throughout the module. Then, progress to the next section and repeat. Finally, in the reflection section, we will ask you to write a few, short responses to questions to gauge your learning over the course of the module. Thanks!
Thought Questions:
Before we get started, consider the following quesions.
- Do you feel that your current grading system accurately assesses the ability and performance of your students? How might you improve this?
- Do you feel that your current grading system provides feedback that help your students improve their skills? How might you improve this?
- Do you feel that your current grading system motivates your students to succeed academically? How might you improve this?
- What other advantages and disadvantages does your current grading system have? Would your students agree?
