Giant ape twice as tall as an adult human roamed Earth 2 million years ago
The extinct ape, dubbed Gigantopithecus blacki, roamed the Earth around 2 million years ago, and is believed to be related to living orang-utans
by Shivali Best, Nilima Marsh, https://www.facebook.com/shivalibestjournalist/The teeth of a giant ape that was twice as tall as an adult human have been discovered in southern Chile.
The extinct ape, dubbed Gigantopithecus blacki, roamed the Earth around 2 million years ago, and is believed to be related to living orang-utans.
The researchers say the genetic materials, which were retrieved from the molar fossil by breaking down their proteins, are "the oldest known skeletal proteins sequenced to date".
They add that the findings, published in the journal Nature, show the possibility of extending "the evolutionary relationships between modern humans and extinct ones further back in time, at least up to two million years".
The oldest human fossil remains with conserved DNA date back 400,000 years - leaving a void in evolutionary history.
Frido Welker, a postdoctoral researcher at the Globe Institute, University of Copenhagen, and first author of the study, said: "Primates are relatively close to humans, evolutionary speaking."
He added: "This means that we can potentially retrieve similar information on the evolutionary line leading to humans."
The researchers used a technique known as mass spectrometry to sequence the dental enamel proteins of the Gigantopithecus.
The process involves breaking down proteins into peptides - which are short chains of amino acids - and analysing their masses to figure out their chemical composition.
This technique was also recently used to extract genetic information from a 1.7-million-year-old rhino tooth.
The method has been hailed as a "game changer" by scientists as it is able to acquire genetic information - especially from fossils excavated from subtropical regions - that were previously unobtainable using DNA testing.
Dr Welker said: "Until now, it has only been possible to retrieve genetic information from up to 10,000-year-old fossils in warm, humid areas."
The fossil remains of the Gigantopithecus - comprising a few lower jaws and lots of teeth - were initially discovered in 1935 in Chuifeng Cave in southern China but due to lack of cranial remains, scientists were unable to reconstruct the physical appearance of this mysterious animal.
Protein sequencing allowed the researchers to paint a picture of what the Gigantopithecus, which became extinct around 300,000 years ago, may have looked like.
They believe the giant primate was around three metres tall and weighed around 600kg.
The proteins from the sample suggest that the dental enamel may have belonged to a female.
Enrico Cappellini, an associate professor at the Globe Institute and senior author on the study, said: "By sequencing proteins retrieved from dental enamel about two million years old, we showed it is possible to confidently reconstruct the evolutionary relationships of animal species that went extinct too far away in time for their DNA to survive till now.
"In this study, we can even conclude that the lineages of orangutan and Gigantopithecus split up about 12 million years ago."

I searched the forum and I do apologize if I did not use the correct search words for this feature.
I was requesting a server filter to must contain maps selected. Currently if you select all expansion maps, they display servers containing any of the maps selected instead of showing only servers that contain all maps selected. Also I was wondering if Better Battlelog improved on server search because I can refresh 3 times and get 3 different lists. It doesn't seem to find all the servers on first try. Thank you.

Sry. We cannot change the search behaviour in this way in battlelog.
This only can be done by DICE.

BSCcore
Class BSCObject
java.lang.Object
BSCcore.BSCObject
public class BSCObject
- extends java.lang.Object
BSCObject implements a single data "object" in the BiSciCol system (e.g.,
specimen, tissue sample, collecting event, etc.). Each object has several
properties associated with it, such as date last modified and type (implemented
as RDF literal values), and each object is connected to 0 or more other objects
in the underlying model. BSCObjects are aware of these relationships and
can allow traversal of their siblings, ancestors, or descendents.

BSCObject
public BSCObject(com.hp.hpl.jena.rdf.model.RDFNode node,
com.hp.hpl.jena.shared.PrefixMapping prefixmap)
- Construct a new BSCObject from a Jena RDFNode object.
- Parameters:
node
- The underlying Jena RDFNode that holds the data for this BSCObject.prefixmap
- The prefix mapping to use when building short-form strings.
isLiteral
public boolean isLiteral()
- Tell us if this is object is a literal in the underlying RDF graph. Note
that this generally should not happen unless a literal object is accessed
directly in the BSCModel.
- Returns:
- True if this object is a literal, false otherwise.
getType
public java.lang.String getType()
- Tell us what the rdf:type is of this object.
- Returns:
- A string with the literal rdf:type of this object.
getDateLastModified
public org.joda.time.DateTime getDateLastModified()
- Tell us what the dwc:DateLastModified is of this object.
- Returns:
- A joda DateTime object containing the parsed value of the literal
dwc:DateLastModified for this object.
getDateLastModifiedString
public java.lang.String getDateLastModifiedString()
- A convenience method that returns the value of dwc:DateLastModified for
this object as a string instead of a DateTime object. It is essentially
equivalent to object.getDateLastModified().toString(format), where format
is yyyy-MM-dd.
- Returns:
- A string containing the value of the literal dwc:DateLastModified
for this object in yyyy-MM-dd format.
getGeo
public java.lang.String getGeo()
- Get the geographic location of this object. This is a relation in our
Model, not really the same as DateLastModified
since for now we're treating Geo as URN. For now, this method is
unimplemented. It may be that this method doesn't make sense.
- Returns:
- For now, just returns null.
getURI
public java.lang.String getURI()
- Gets the full URI for this object.
- Returns:
- A string containing the URI for this object.
equals
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)
- Test if two BSCObjects are logically the same. If both objects resolve
to the same URI, they are considered equal.
- Overrides:
equals
in class java.lang.Object
- Parameters:
obj
- The object to test for equality.
- Returns:
- True if the objects are equivalent, false otherwise.
hashCode
public int hashCode()
- Return an integer hash value for this BSCObject. Values returned will
be semantically correct with regard to the equals() function. That is,
equivalent objects will have equivalent hash values.
- Overrides:
hashCode
in class java.lang.Object
- Returns:
- An integer hash value for this object.
hasChildren
public boolean hasChildren()
- Test whether or not this BSCObject has any immediate descendents.
Immediate descendents are objects that are directly connected to this
object via the leadsTo relationship.
- Returns:
- True if this BSCObject has 1 or more children, false otherwise.
- See Also:
getChildren()
getChildren
public BSCObjBasicIter getChildren()
- Get an iterator for all immediate descendents of this object. That is,
return an iterator to all objects of RDF "leadsTo" statements for
which this BSCObject is the subject.
- Returns:
- An iterator for all children of this BSCObject.
- See Also:
hasChildren()
getDescendents
public BSCObjDescIter getDescendents(int depth)
- Get an iterator for all descendents of this object up to and including
the specified traversal depth. Objects are returned by the iterator in
breadth-first traversal order. Thus, object.getDescendants(1) is
semantically equivalent to object.getChildren().
- Parameters:
depth
- The maximum depth (inclusive) to traverse the graph.
- Returns:
- An iterator for all descendents of this BSCObject.
- See Also:
getChildren()
,
visitDescendents(ModelVisitor)
,
getRelatives()
getRelatives
public BSCObjBasicIter getRelatives()
- Get an iterator for all relatives of this object. In this context,
"relatives" means all objects that are connected to this BSCObject via
relatedTo statements, either explicitly or via inferred triples. This
method differs from the descendent-based methods in that no notion of
the originally-specified object hierarchy is maintained; that is, multi-
level relationships are essentially "flattened".
- Returns:
- An iterator for all relatives of this BSCObject.
- See Also:
getChildren()
,
getDescendents(int)
,
visitDescendents(ModelVisitor)
hasParents
public boolean hasParents()
- Test whether or not this BSCObject has any immediate ancestors.
Immediate ancestors are objects that are directly connected to this
object via the "comesFrom" relationship.
- Returns:
- True if this BSCObject has 1 or more parents, false otherwise.
- See Also:
getParent()
,
getParents()
getParent
public BSCObject getParent()
- Get the immediate ancestor of this object. That is, if this BSCObject
is the subject of a hasSource RDF statement, return the object of that
statement. It this object has multiple parents, only one of them will
be returned. In this situation, there are no guarantees about which
particular parent is returned. This is a convenience method that is
semantically equivalent to object.getParents().next().
- Returns:
- A parent of this BSCObject.
- See Also:
hasParents()
,
getParents()
getParents
public BSCObjBasicIter getParents()
- Get an iterator for all immediate ancestors of this object. That is,
return an iterator to all objects of RDF "comesFrom" statements for
which this BSCObject is the subject.
- Returns:
- An iterator for all parents of this BSCObject.
- See Also:
hasParents()
,
getParent()
getSiblings
public BSCObjSiblingsIter getSiblings()
- Get an iterator for all siblings of this object. Siblings are defined
as all children of all parents of this BSCObject that are not equal to
this BSCObject.
- Returns:
- An iterator for all siblings of this BSCObject.
visitDescendents
public void visitDescendents(ModelVisitor visitor)
- Use the provided visitor to visit this object and its descendents. The
traversal continues until visitor.visitEnter() returns false; this
signals the maximum depth of the traversal. All descendents at that
depth are visited. Descendents are visited in depth-first order.
- Parameters:
visitor
- The object to visit the descendents with.- See Also:
getChildren()
,
getDescendents(int)
,
getRelatives()
visitAncestors
public void visitAncestors(ModelVisitor visitor)
- Use the provided visitor to visit this object and its ancestors. The
traversal continues until visitor.visitEnter() returns false; this
signals the maximum depth of the traversal. All ancestors at that
depth are visited. Ancestors are visited with a depth-first traversal.
- Parameters:
visitor
- The object to visit the ancestors with.
toString
public java.lang.String toString()
- Get a text representation of the URI of this object. If possible,
a namespace prefix is used to form a short string.
- Overrides:
toString
in class java.lang.Object
- Returns:
- A text representation of this BSCObject.

Current visualization tools, however, have a crucial shortcoming: the interactive visual exploration process is not captured, which means that the analysis steps cannot be shared. Being able to reproduce visual analysis sessions and enabling third parties to understand, modify, and extend analysis sessions can have a significant impact on transparency, reproducibility, and innovation of analysis processes. Furthermore, there is enormous potential to utilize visual analysis sessions to efficiently communicate data.
Here we introduce a prototype that is a first step towards making this vision a reality. We capture the visual analysis process and enable users to comment on their decisions to make visual analysis reproducible. We leverage the data about the analysis process to allow scientists to create "Vistories", which are interactive and narrated figures, to communicate their findings. Vistories do not only efficiently communicate the findings, but also give audiences the ability to retrace and modify an analysis. Demos for our prototype for this approach are accessible below.
The source code for our prototype is available on GitHub. Vistories are built with

Cab driver to surrender to police for attack on passenger
by Stacey SagerFORDHAM, Bronx (WABC) -- On Monday, a cab driver will surrender to police for his attack on a passenger in the Bronx in October.
The cab driver insists he wasn't wrong, adding he is the victim, not the attacker - and he wants some sensitive evidence from the passenger to prove his point.
Two men were seen fighting in the lobby at 2333 Webster Ave in the Bronx. The livery cab driver, Sandy de Jesus Rodriguez is seen with a pocket knife and held it up several times.
Police say Rodriguez was the one wanted for assault since this happened back on October 13th. He says he was just trying to collect from a passenger, who not only tried to beat the $10 fare, but also stole an additional $190 from the front of his car. He insists he never actually stabbed anyone.
Rodriguez says he did not even know he was a wanted man until the company he drives for told him that detectives came around this week looking for him. Once again, he says never stabbed anyone and that he was just trying to work and take care of his family.
Rodriguez says he plans to turn himself in on Monday in an effort to clear his name.


Version 3.5.0
By Stephen W. Liddle and Richard C. Galbraith
Overview
Welcome to the LDS Scripture Citation Index. This index, found on the right side of your browser window, links from scriptures to the general conference talks, Journal of Discourses speeches, and writings in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith that cite those scriptures. So, for example, suppose you want to know who has cited 1 Ne. 3:7 in general conference; tap on the First Nephi button followed by the 1 Ne. 3 button; there you'll find the answer. Who has quoted Matt. 5:48? Use the New Testament index to find out.
The panel on the left side of your browser lets you read the scriptures, including the King James Version and Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. This is not the official LDS version of the standard works. Go to LDS.org/scriptures for the official publication. Among the differences between this version and the Church's official version are that we do not include their footnotes, chapter summaries, and study helps such as the Bible Dictionary and Topical Guide.
We have indexed the scriptures cited by speakers in LDS General Conference between 1942 and the present, and those cited by speakers recorded in the Journal of Discourses between 1839 and 1886. The citations in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith come from the special edition, Scriptural Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, edited by Richard C. Galbraith and published by Deseret Book in 1993 (ISBN<PHONE_NUMBER>).
To begin, click on one of the books and chapters in the index and you'll see a list of references for verses in that chapter. A reference looks like this: 2 Pet. 1:4. When you select the 2 Pet. 1:4 item, you will see a list of citations for 2 Peter chapter 1 verse 4. Citations occur in three forms.
1. General Conference:
“2006” is the year of the conference, “A” means April (or “O” for October), “114” is the page number in the Ensign (1971–present) or Conference Reports (1942–1970). “James E. Faust” is the speaker name, and the talk title appears in smaller text on the second line. The icons labeled Watch and Listen take you to LDS.org for a video or audio presentation of the talk. Audio and video are available for more recent conference talks, but not for older talks.
2. Journal of Discourses:
“10” means volume 10 of the Journal of Discourses, “194” is the page number, “a” indicates the left column (or “b” for the right column), “Brigham Young” is the speaker name, and the discourse title appears in smaller text on the second line.
3. Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith:
“163” is the page number in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith.
In general conference talks, Journal of Discourses, and Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, synchronization arrows () appear to the left of each scriptural reference. Clicking on these arrows will synchronize the citation index to display all other occurrences of that scripture.
In Journal of Discourses talks, pages and columns are separated by yellow (left column, a) or blue (right column, b) markers. Within each marker are two icons. The left icon () brings up a PDF copy of the printed page; the right icon () brings up the BYU Library digital scan of the original.
How to Search
This web site uses the open-source Lucene search engine, so queries use the Lucene syntax, which is a lot like Google's. Here are few sample queries you might try:| Search Terms | Finds Documents … |
|---|---|
| angels stand sentinels | Finds documents containing any combination of these words. |
| +angels +stand +sentinels | Finds documents containing all three words. |
| -angels +sentinels | Finds documents containing “sentinels” but not “angels”. |
| “angels sentinels”~10 | Finds documents where “sentinels” is separated from “angels” by at most 10 words. |
| “angels who stand” | Finds documents containing the exact phrase “angels who stand”. |
| +Uchtdorf +hope | Finds all talks from President Uchtdorf including the word “hope”. Note that this actually finds all documents that include the words “Uchtdorf” and “hope”, but most often documents containing the word “Uchtdorf” are his talks. |
| angel*s | Finds documents containing any word starting with “angel” and ending with “s” (e.g., “angels”, “Angeles”). The * wildcard matches any combination of 0 or more letters. |
| s?nd | Finds documents containing any 4-letter word starting with “s” and ending with “nd” (e.g., “sand”, “send”). The ? wildcard matches exactly one letter. |
Searches are case insensitive. The * wildcard may not appear as the first letter of a search term, and both * and ? wildcards may not be used in phrase and proximity searches. For example, the queries “angel*s stand”~5 and “s?nd here” both will produce no results.
Our search facility lets you search either the talks (including Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Journal of Discourses, and talks from General Conference since 1942) or the scriptures. When searching talks, by default we sort the results according to relevance, meaning that talks that use the search terms most appear earlier in the results list. You can change this to sort by date by unchecking the box next to "Sort by Relevance", and the results list will be sorted by date (most recent talk first). You can also limit the search to a specific speaker and/or to a range of years, and you can choose which sets of talks to search (i.e. General Conference, Journal of Discourses, or Teachings).
When searching scriptures, the default order for the results list is by order within the standard works (Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price). If you check the box next to "Sort by Relevance", the results list will be presented in order of relevance, meaning verses that have search terms as a higher percentage of the verse will appear earlier in the results. You can also choose which specific volumes to search. Selecting "Joseph Smith Translation" tells the system to search for JST verses that are footnoted in the LDS edition of the Bible. However, if you deselect Old Testament and New Testament but select "Joseph Smith Translation", then the system will search all verses of the JST, not just the LDS footnoted verses.
History
The LDS Scripture Citation index was first created in paper form by Richard Galbraith while serving as a faculty member at BYU (now emeritus). The index was made into a web site and corresponding mobile apps by Stephen Liddle, also a BYU faculty member. We've had help from many great BYU students through the years working on various aspects of this project. We appreciate the help of our research assistants, particularly Brad Humphery, Jeremy Knudsen, Allan Bond, Will Jensen, James Anderson, Dan King, Thomas Packer, Rosie Liddle Sadler, and James Delorey, who have been instrumental in building the database and programming elements of this site. Brandon Petersen is the graphics designer who created the art work shown at the top of this panel. We also gratefully acknowledge funding provided by the Rollins Center at BYU.

Note: The proceedings of the April 1943 conference were published in the May, June, and July issues of the 1943 Improvement Era due to a wartime paper shortage. The October 1957 conference was canceled due to an epidemic of Asian flu in the United States. Elder Harold B. Lee's priesthood address at the October 1967 conference was published in the January 1968 issue of the Improvement Era, pages 26-31. Also, in our index, page numbers for conference addresses between 1942 and 1970 reference the Conference Reports due to the scarcity of Improvement Era magazines.


Ruby: Arrays and borders
Today, we will discuss Ruby, more precisely arrays and hashes.
What is the difference between an array and a hash
| Array | Hash |
| An ordered collection of objects | An ordered collection of objects |
| Stores objects, arrays, hashes, classes, true and false | Stores objects in pair (key, value) |
| Order of objects remain | Order as how the keys were inserted |
| Index by 0,1,2,3,4,5... | Index per key |
We could say that an array is similar to a hash where the keys are imply and consecutive integers starting with zero. While the hash is similar to an array where the indexes can be anything.
When and why would we use an array? To keep a list. It could be a list of numbers, a list of strings, or a list of both string and integers or even a list of arrays. For example:
- [1,2,3,4,5]
- [Canada, United-States, France, England]
- [[China,Japan,South Korea],[Uganda,Kenya, Tanzania]]
When and why would we use a hash? To keep a list with values. For example:
- A list of states with their abbreviation
- "California", "CA"
- "Washington","WA"
- A list of birthay
- "John Doe","01-01-1901"
- "Janet Die","12-12-1912"
Hash would therefore be really good to search a specific value: When is John Doe's birthay? What is the abbreviation for Dakota?
There are several ways to create an array or a hash. Here is my favorite for each of them:
array=[Canada, United-States, France, England]
I have created a new array with four strings.state_hash={"California" => "CA", "Washington" => "WA"}
I have created a new hash table.
I believe my time is up for today, but needless to say I can tell you much more about arrays and hashes, to start with one: how do we query for an element in them? Well, this will be for another blog entry...
That’s it for today!

How does DtCraft relate to existing tools?
DtCraft aims to strike a balance among programmability, performance, and productivity in cluster computing. We offer users transparency without taking away the full control over system details to achieve the best performance. Modern big data tools are good at abstraction but performance, whereas traditional HPC languages are exactly the opposite. Therefore, we are developing DtCraft to bridge the gap.
Who are the targeted users?
We welcome any individuals and organizations who are interested in building products or extending present assets at cluster scale. Whether you are application developers or domain-specific engineers, we provide a new framework for implementing parallel and distributed applications.
What cluster environment do I need?
Currently, DtCraft works on Linux machines. Each machine node must be of 64-bit kernel 3.8 (or higher) and POSIX-compliant, and support C++17 build. Although you can do all file settings by hand in a cluster, we recommend installing a shared storage to access files over a computer network from a local console.
How large a cluster can DtCraft scale to?
We have successfully applied DtCraft to solve a large-scale semiconductor design optimization problem on an Amazon EC2 cluster of 40 machines, each of 4 CPUs and 8 GB RAM. Data are shared via the NFS protocol.
Where can I get more help?
Please post any technical issues on our github issue tracker. For more information, please refer to contact us.
How to cite DtCraft in my work?
Please cite our journal "DtCraft: A High-performance Distributed Execution Engine at Scale", IEEE Transaction on Computer-aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD), 2018.

I think it was inevitable that some guy in Idaho (or someplace like that) would dub a film "Movie of the Decade" somewhat before the millennium. I'm just surprised no one has declared a "Movie of the Millennium". At least you'd have that bit of alliteration.
In any case, our "Movie of the Decade" for this summer is "The Truman Show". Jim Carrey is Truman, a man in a fish bowl, unaware that he is being televised to the world. The TV series of Truman's life, captured by thousands of secretive cameras around the movie set/town of Sea Side, is Bigger Than Seinfeld (if that can be imagined). He has been televised, unaware, since before birth (why not conception?), and, in the show's 30th year, he begins to realize that his world apparently revolves around him.
This basic plot has been used before. Relying on the Way Back Machine, we have the whole Descartes thing: the proof of god's existence comes from "I think therefore I am", but raises the possibility of a Great Deceiver, spinning an illusionary world around "I". Arguably, spin the Way Back dial a bit farther, and you'd come up with Plato and the Cave, but Plato didn't mean the Cave in a literal sense, and we were in the cave because of ourselves rather than some external entity. Much more recently, Philip K. Dick played with this "what is reality" idea in any number of novels. There was one novella with a nicely surrealistic moment: the protagonist, already believing there was something wrong with the world, buys an ice cream cone, only to see the ice cream vendor disappear, leaving behind only a slip of paper saying "Ice Cream Cart". The novella, however, ends more sinisterly and more conventionally, with it being revealed that the hero was unknowingly computing missile trajectories by solving the Sunday newspaper puzzle. Most closely to "The Truman Show", there was a 1980s Twilight Zone in which a man's life was the subject of a TV series. I don't recall how that episode ended, but I'd like to think that the discovery of the TV studio was scripted, and that there were infinite layers of TV series within TV series, Russian Dolls of voyeristic entertainment.
I suppose the main difference is that the narcissism has changed from god or the devil giving sufficient damn to make up the world for us, to the planet's television audience giving sufficient damn to watch us brush our teeth in the morning (though, seeing that we have "America's Funniest Videos", the Fishing Channel and C-SPAN on cable, as well as random webcams peering into people's apartments, this shouldn't be surprising). Yup. At the close of the millennium, television is our wrathful diety.
I suppose also that the tag, "Movie of the Decade" is not inappropriate. It fits our media-saturated time well.
Anyway, did I actually like the movie? Yes and no. The "No" comes from having problems getting into it in the first place. I kept on thinking "klutzy, klutzy, klutzy" as the television people when through their acrobatics to keep Truman from realizing the truth. There's minor clumsiness when Truman picks up studio instructions on his car radio: why not have rigged radios incapable of picking up certain frequencies? And why didn't they realize that Truman probably doesn't know how to tack a sailboat into the wind? You have smart people, who have constructed an elaborate illusion of a TV studio, and yet they don't know how to plan for contingencies beyond ham handed traffic jams and nuclear plant meltdowns.
The most glaring clumsiness is the methods used to keep him in town: make him afraid of the water, make him think travel is dangerous, tell him that Sea Side is an earthly paradise. It's easy to come up with better ideas than this. You can simply not tell him there's an outside, a sort of medieval thing to do -- you'll fall off the edge, say "hi" to the elephants and turtle on your way down -- but possible because Truman more or less was raised in your Skinner Box. You pretty much can tell him anything you want. This, though, makes him less like us, hurting television ratings. Alternatively, you can have this giant inflated weather balloon roving the beaches, smothering anyone who tries to leave. The villagers can come up with spooky stories about the thing, creating your prohibition. (True, this is not "The Prisoner", but it's a neat idea). Perhaps best and most subtly, they can simply use the techniques in "It's a Wonderful Life", which was partially referred to in a TV program Truman watches: whenever he thinks of leaving, saddle him with responsibility. "About to go on my world tour! Whoops, the savings and loan is in trouble!" There's no weirdness in his staying -- he'll be just as good as George Bailey -- and there'll be tear jerker moments when he finds Zu Zu's petals in his pocket.
One thing, brought up and then ignored: how do you handle Truman's childhood friends? He's known his best friend since they were seven years old. Can you trust a seven year old not to let Truman in on a Really Big Secret?
Well, I did get into the movie more after all that. It's an entertaining film, not really the masterpiece that some people have claimed, but certainly worth the two hours. "Truman" may also mark a new phase in Jim Carrey's career, that of a more serious actor. He does well in this movie: there a nice moment when he stops traffic, realizing that he's the center of it all, and, near the end as he reaches the edge of the world, he's convincing. Think of Steve Martin, going from "The Jerk" to, say, "Leap of Faith" or "The Spanish Prisoner". Yes, there are occasional regressions, like "Sgt. Bilko", but his range is broader now.
-- "The court determined that Fox TV does not impede free and fair competition in the teen-angst soap-com genre, therefore Party of Five need not be broken into five 'Parties of One,' one being distributed to each of the other networks."

Edit 1/18/2015: I forgot to provide a link to a spreadsheet I made for saved games (King of Tokyo Saved Game - PDF format).
Over the winter break, I had some time to play a really great board game, King of Tokyo, with my friends and family. (Creator's website, BGG link, Amazon link). King of Tokyo shares a dice mechanic similar to Yahtzee:
At your turn, you get three successive throws after each of which you choose whether to keep or discard each of the six special dice. Your final combination will enable you to win destruction points, hoard energy, restore your health or whack other players into understanding Tokyo is your territory.
There are some questions that came up about the optimal strategies and expected outcomes of the 3-roll, six-dice mechanic. Since Yahtzee is so well known, I borrowed a Monte Carlo analysis from it to analyze King of Tokyo. For example, the chance of rolling a Yahtzee (all five dice the same in a 3-roll turn) is about 0.046 according to Wikipedia.
Anyway, this inspired me to write some Python code to evaluate King of Tokyo. Note that King of Tokyo uses 6 dice instead of the 5 in Yahtzee, and I arbitrarily assigned damage to be "six" on the dice, energy is "five", and hearts are "four". Here are the questions that came up during our King of Tokyo games.
Q1: I'm in Tokyo with 4 HP. What are the chances that my next opponent kills my monster if by only keeping damage dice and rerolling everything else?
This is an excellent question because it determines whether you should leave Tokyo or not. First, here are the possible outcomes:
Damage dealt(d) P(X>=d)
0 1.000
1 0.962
2 0.798
3 0.501
4 0.212
5 0.052
6 0.005
Table 1. Outcomes for six dice rolled three times with best results kept.
The attacking monster has a 21.2% chance of dealing at least 4 damage (d is damage dealt, X is a random variable which models the rerolling process), assuming 6 dice are rolled up to 3 times, and only damage dice are kept.
I generated this table using the following Python code:
import numpy as np
def rollSixes(NRerolls=3) :
for i in xrange(0,NRerolls):
if 6 == randint(1,6) :
return 1
return 0
def rollHand(NDice=6,Cutoff=1,NRerolls=3) :
hand = [ rollSixes(NRerolls) for i in xrange(0,NDice) ]
return hand.count(1) >= Cutoff
N=100000
NDice=6
NRerolls=3
Cutoff=4
tests2 = [ rollHand(NDice,Cutoff,NRerolls) for i in xrange(0,N) ]
print np.mean(tests2), np.std(tests2)
Table 1 is also has the answers to the following questions:
On average, how much damage is dealt to the monster in Tokyo each turn? (Answer: 3 from the table, but 2.53 is the exact number because E[X]=0.421)
Suppose I to heal at least 2 hearts in the next turn, or else my monster will be eliminated. What are the chances that I can roll at least 2 hearts? (Answer: 79.8%)
Q2. How valuable is the "Extra Head" card?
The "Extra Head" card allows a monster to roll one extra die (so, 7 dice instead of 6). It's a really expensive and desirable card. Re-running the simulation with NDice=7 gives:
Damage dealt(d) P(X>=d)
0 1.000
1 0.978
2 0.865
3 0.627
4 0.332
5 0.117
6 0.025
7 0.002
Table 2. Seven dice, 3 rerolls, keeping only the best outcomes.
The extra die may feel really useful, but it makes only a relatively small difference in the statistical outcomes. Instead of a 21.2% chance of dealing at least 4 damage, there is a 33.2% chance of dealing at least 4 damage. Not a huge increase, in my opinion.
The expected value of one die is still 0.421 damage (or energy or hearts), but the expected damage from one turn in Tokyo increases from 2.53 to 2.94. That might be enough to persuade some players to yield Tokyo.
Q3. How valuable is the "Giant Brain" card?
"Giant Brain" allows one more reroll each turn (so 4 rerolls instead of 3). Rerunning the simulation with six dice and 4 rerolls:
Damage dealt(d) P(X>=d)
0 1.000
1 0.987
2 0.907
3 0.688
4 0.376
5 0.129
6 0.020
Table 3. Six dice, up to 4 rerolls, keeping only the best outcomes.
I feel like "Giant Brain" is a more powerful card than "Extra Head". The expected value of one die increases from 0.421 damage to 0.518 damage, and the variance of the outcomes also narrows. The improvement in damage (or energy or hearts) is almost the same with each of these cards, but "Giant Brain" is cheaper and not as hotly contested among players.
Conclusion
King of Tokyo is a fun game. If you like dice games with more skill than Yahtzee (almost pure chance), but you want them to end more quickly than Monopoly (which can go on for many hours with no progress even for perfectly skilled players), King of Tokyo is an excellent choice because the dice mechanic virtually guarantees that the game will be done in under 20 rounds. It's got most of the fun of a computer dice game like XCOM: Enemy Unknown without needing as much bookkeeping. Congratulations are due to the creators for making a balanced and fun game.

Sci-Fi books
Cataloging science fiction into different subgenres can be as complex as defining what science fiction is as such. The characteristics that define each one of the divisions can share characteristics with another branch, something capable of confusing when we want to refer to a specific subgenus. Borders change over time, so it's best to be flexible with categories.
The classification presented below is not a simple list, but rather a series of topics in which science fiction can be grouped around a central rule. Each novel belongs to several subgenres. I think that these divisions can increase to infinity, although the groups that I propose seem sufficient to me.

Ideas and actions for getting, and keeping, women in technology
In my job I’m almost entirely surrounded by men.
I work as a Machine Learning Engineer at Silverpond. It’s definitely the best place I’ve ever worked, but there’s one area that we’re actively trying to improve: recruiting women into roles as software engineers and machine learning engineers.
In this post I’ll cover some ideas I’ve had along these lines.
The Recruiting Side
When I’ve been involved in recruiting people, in recent history, it’s tended to be almost entirely by word of mouth. My process is:
- I find out there’s a job available,
- I think about the people I know who might be good,
- I approach them.
This actually works very well, but only because I tend to go to a lot of events, and I meet a lot of people. The one key problem with this approach is: I mostly end up recommending men.
I think that the reason for this can be somewhat explain by various cognitive biases (notably, “Ingroup bias”), and so I’ve been thinking about how to address it.
I was pointed at the few articles along these lines, and I’ll summarise them here:
Avoiding the ‘merit trap’ - Chief Executive Women and Male Champions of Change
- Summary: “Merit-based” hiring is correlated with under-representation for diverse teams.
- Thoughts:
- Be aware that any definition of “merit” is somewhat subjective and current-circumstances dependant.
- Deciding which qualities are meritable isn’t particularly easy.
- This might mean that “puzzle”-based hiring; i.e. “complete this puzzle which when solved gives an email address that you can email for a job” is potentially not a good approach.
- Actions:
- As much as you can, don’t pre-suppose a list of skills and qualities, because your selection is biased to the intersection of skills that your current team has, or that you’ve seen before.
- Allow the candidates to express their own individuality in the interviewing process.
- Prefer the person that adds something new to the team.
Beginning with Ourselves - Airbnb
- Summary: Airbnb was didn’t have many women in their data science team; they adjusted their interview process and grew the community, both of which had an impact.
- Thoughts:
- Your interview process can be biased, and it’s probably hard to figure out when that is. If someone tells you, take it seriously.
- Actions:
- Build the community you want to see.
- Make your interview process friendly and welcoming to all.
- If possible, have a balance of male/female involvement in the interview.
How blind auditions help orchestras to eliminate gender bias - The Guardian, and How Companies Are Taking Unconscious Bias Out of the Hiring Equation - LinkedIn Talent Blog
- Summary: If you want to not be biased towards a certain gender, then just keep the gender hidden until they’re employed!
- Thoughts:
- It’s interesting, but ultimately unsatisfying. It wouldn’t help for internal promotions, say. But maybe it’s a useful hack to bootstrap the process.
- It’s not practical for me at Silverpond.
- Actions:
- When thinking about a candidate, and making some subjective assesment, think if you would make this same assesment if the gender of the candidate was unknown or switched.
Our experiences in elevating the representation of women in leadership - Male Champions of Change
- Summary: Diversity in leadership can be achived by small concrete steps: getting the CEO interested, setting up metrics, building communities and support networks, and reporting on growth and successes achieved as a result of these actions.
- Thoughts:
- This is a very “corporate” article, but contains some good points.
- Actions:
- Convince or demonstrate to the people in charge of hiring that they should become very interested in diversifying the team; without this you will struggle.
- Set up mechanisms to track progress numerically.
- Set quantitive targets.
- Build and support the community you want to see.
Concretely, what I’m going to do in this regard — getting more diverse applicants into the top of our “hiring funnel” — is:
- Network with a more diverse group; head to events I’ve not been to before,
- Improve the messaging on our website around hiring, and write down some statistics that we can start tracking,
- Build and support the community.
- When thinking about a candidate, and making some subjective assesment, think if I would make this same assesment if the gender of the candidate was unknown or switched.
- Don’t pre-suppose an overly-specific list of skills and qualities.
and during the interview process, I think the following ideas are useful to keep in mind:
- Make sure everyone has an opportunity to feel comfortable,
- Allow the candidates to express their own individuality,
- Does this person add something new to the team?
- Is the job a cool opportunity for this person?
This is kind of a Part-1 of my thoughts on this topic. I’ve had this post sitting in drafts for a while, so I thought I’d publish it. I expressed some related ideas in our blog. Let’s see how it progresses over the next few months.


LETTER: An agenda Democrats could win on
by David W. Huston Las VegasThe Democrats would be better served to focus their campaign on restoring our infrastructure; encouraging and protecting the “Dreamers” while negotiating a fair and lasting set of laws governing immigration; ensuring that women and people of color are treated equally in all matters; and honoring our soldiers, present and past, who have volunteered to protect our country.
Democrats should promote reinforcement of Obamacare, work to restore higher taxes on corporations and reduce the gap between the rich and the middle class. They will also need to restore the faith that the world had in our leadership by showing our allies that the United States can be trusted. Re-signing the Paris accords on maintaining our planet and the equitable agreement with Iran would be starting points.

This busy commercial port lies on Ireland's east coast, directly west of Holyhead.
Position 53° 20'39"N, 06° 13'02"W (marina)
On entering the port, call Port Control on VHF channel 12.
For Small Craft regulations see www.dublinport.iew/information-centre
Last updated April 2016
Dublin is a busy port for large commercial ships and small craft should keep a sharp lookout, and are advised to use the southern entrance channel into the Bay and then to keep to the southern side of the Bay itself. Monitor VHF channel 12 for shipping movements.
Once inside the river, shelter is very good but the entrance can be rough in strong easterlies with an ebb tide.
There is a marina at Poolbeg and also pontoons between the lifting East Link and Samuel Beckett Bridges. They are on the N side of the Liffey and offer convenient access to the city centre.
There are several other marinas and repair facilities in and around the capital Dublin, the best centres being at Dun Laoghaire, Howth and Malahide.
Malahide is about 12nm north of Dublin Bay and the approach is restricted by a sandbar at LW (LAT 0.8m) and should not be entered in strong on shore winds.
The Howth Yacht Club marina has excellent docking facilities and its location is ideal for visiting Dublin. Good provisioning, fuel and LPG are available locally. The club offers temporary membership to those spending the winter here.

Man in court for harassing step mother
by Joyce Danso, GNAAccra, Nov. 21, GNA - An Accra Circuit court has ordered a mental assessment of a 19 year old student accused of frequent harassment of his step mother.
The student has been charged with engaging in domestic violence to wit harassment.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Kofi Atimbire told the court presided over by Mrs Rita Abrokwa-Doko that for the past two years the 66 year old woman has been harassed variously by her stepson.
He said the accused known as James Williams had taken GH¢3,000.00 as compensation from his stepmom after behaving violently towards her.
The prosecution said Williams also works as a factory hand at his stepmom’s factory where he is paid GH¢360.00 a month.
The court observed a strange behavior when after the prosecution called the accused as James Williams, he protested and said he is rather known as Isaac Arthur.
The accused told the court his family had rejected him and that only one of his relatives know his real name.
The court then ordered that a mental assessment should be carried out on Williams at the Psychiatric Hospital to enable the court to take a decision in respect of him.
It further directed the case investigator to ensure that the medical expenses are bore by the step mother who is the complainant in the case.
The prosecution said William, a student lives with the complainant Mariam B. Williams at New Achimota after the demise of his father.
He said the accused allegedly took to smoking of Indian hemp and has been harassing the complainant to pay him ‘’Compensation” of GH¢3,000.00.
The prosecution said after some back and forth the complainant gave Williams the GH¢3,000.00 and he left the house.
He said the accused returned some few weeks later, pleading for forgiveness after squandering the money.
The Prosecution said the complainant then employed him in her factory, but he started behaving violently to some of the complainant’s staff.
He said when the complainant confronted him, he told the complainant he was going to teach her a lesson she would never forget.
The Prosecution said this put fear in the complainant who then reported the matter to the Domestic Violence and Domestic Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service.
The matter has been adjourned to December 4.

Ruby on Rails 4.0 Release Notes¶ ↑
Highlights in Rails 4.0:
-
Ruby 2.0 preferred; 1.9.3+ required
-
Strong Parameters
-
Turbolinks
-
Russian Doll Caching
These release notes cover only the major changes. To learn about various bug fixes and changes, please refer to the change logs or check out the list of commits in the main Rails repository on GitHub.
Upgrading to Rails 4.0¶ ↑
If you're upgrading an existing application, it's a great idea to have good test coverage before going in. You should also first upgrade to Rails 3.2 in case you haven't and make sure your application still runs as expected before attempting an update to Rails 4.0. A list of things to watch out for when upgrading is available in the Upgrading Ruby on Rails guide.
Creating a Rails 4.0 application¶ ↑
You should have the 'rails' RubyGem installed $ rails new myapp $ cd myapp
Vendoring Gems¶ ↑
Rails now uses a Gemfile
in the application root to determine
the gems you require for your application to start. This
Gemfile
is processed by the Bundler gem, which then
installs all your dependencies. It can even install all the dependencies
locally to your application so that it doesn't depend on the system
gems.
More information: Bundler homepage
Living on the Edge¶ ↑
Bundler
and Gemfile
makes freezing your Rails
application easy as pie with the new dedicated bundle
command.
If you want to bundle straight from the Git repository, you can pass the
--edge
flag:
$ rails new myapp --edge
If you have a local checkout of the Rails repository and want to generate
an application using that, you can pass the --dev
flag:
$ ruby /path/to/rails/railties/bin/rails new myapp --dev
Major Features¶ ↑
Upgrade¶ ↑
-
Ruby 1.9.3 (commit) - Ruby 2.0 preferred; 1.9.3+ required
-
New deprecation policy - Deprecated features are warnings in Rails 4.0 and will be removed in Rails 4.1.
-
ActionPack page and action caching (commit) - Page and action caching are extracted to a separate gem. Page and action caching requires too much manual intervention (manually expiring caches when the underlying model objects are updated). Instead, use Russian doll caching.
-
ActiveRecord observers (commit) - Observers are extracted to a separate gem. Observers are only needed for page and action caching, and can lead to spaghetti code.
-
ActiveRecord session store (commit) - The ActiveRecord session store is extracted to a separate gem. Storing sessions in SQL is costly. Instead, use cookie sessions, memcache sessions, or a custom session store.
-
ActiveModel mass assignment protection (commit) - Rails 3 mass assignment protection is deprecated. Instead, use strong parameters.
-
ActiveResource (commit) - ActiveResource is extracted to a separate gem. ActiveResource was not widely used.
-
vendor/plugins removed (commit) - Use a Gemfile to manage installed gems.
ActionPack¶ ↑
-
Strong parameters (commit) - Only allow whitelisted parameters to update model objects (
params.permit(:title, :text)
). -
Routing concerns (commit) - In the routing DSL, factor out common subroutes (
comments
from/posts/1/comments
and/videos/1/comments
). -
ActionController::Live (commit) - Stream JSON with
response.stream
. -
Declarative ETags (commit) - Add controller-level etag additions that will be part of the action etag computation
-
Russian doll caching (commit) - Cache nested fragments of views. Each fragment expires based on a set of dependencies (a cache key). The cache key is usually a template version number and a model object.
-
Turbolinks (commit) - Serve only one initial HTML page. When the user navigates to another page, use pushState to update the URL and use AJAX to update the title and body.
-
Decouple ActionView from ActionController (commit) - ActionView was decoupled from ActionPack and will be moved to a separated gem in Rails 4.1.
-
Do not depend on ActiveModel (commit) - ActionPack no longer depends on ActiveModel.
General¶ ↑
-
ActiveModel::Model (commit) -
ActiveModel::Model
, a mixin to make normal Ruby objects to work with ActionPack out of box (ex. forform_for
) -
New scope API (commit) - Scopes must always use callables.
-
Schema cache dump (commit) - To improve Rails boot time, instead of loading the schema directly from the database, load the schema from a dump file.
-
Support for specifying transaction isolation level (commit) - Choose whether repeatable reads or improved performance (less locking) is more important.
-
Dalli (commit) - Use Dalli memcache client for the memcache store.
-
Notifications start & finish (commit) - Active Support instrumentation reports start and finish notifications to subscribers.
-
Thread safe by default (commit) - Rails can run in threaded app servers without additional configuration. Note: Check that the gems you are using are threadsafe.
-
PATCH verb (commit) - In Rails, PATCH replaces PUT. PATCH is used for partial updates of resources.
Security¶ ↑
-
match do not catch all (commit) - In the routing DSL, match requires the HTTP verb or verbs to be specified.
-
html entities escaped by default (commit) - Strings rendered in erb are escaped unless wrapped with
raw
orhtml_safe
is called. -
New security headers (commit) - Rails sends the following headers with every HTTP request:
X-Frame-Options
(prevents clickjacking by forbidding the browser from embedding the page in a frame),X-XSS-Protection
(asks the browser to halt script injection) andX-Content-Type-Options
(prevents the browser from opening a jpeg as an exe).
Extraction of features to gems¶ ↑
In Rails 4.0, several features have been extracted into gems. You can
simply add the extracted gems to your Gemfile
to bring the
functionality back.
-
Hash-based & Dynamic finder methods (GitHub)
-
Mass assignment protection in Active Record models (GitHub, Pull Request)
-
ActiveRecord::SessionStore (GitHub, Pull Request)
-
Active Resource (GitHub, Pull Request, Blog)
-
Action Caching (GitHub, Pull Request)
-
Page Caching (GitHub, Pull Request)
-
Sprockets (GitHub)
-

-
Ability to use a custom builder by passing
--builder
(or-b
) torails new

Please refer to the Changelog for detailed changes.
Notable changes¶ ↑
-
Replace deprecated
memcache-client
gem withdalli

. -
String#to_date
now raisesArgumentError: invalid date
instead ofNoMethodError: undefined method 'div' for nil:NilClass
when given an invalid date. It is now the same asDate.parse
, and it accepts more invalid dates than 3.x, such as:
“ # ActiveSupport 3.x "asdf".to_date # =>
NoMethodError: undefined method
div' for nil:NilClass
“333”.to_date # => NoMethodError: undefined method `div' for
nil:NilClass
# ActiveSupport 4 “asdf”.to_date # => ArgumentError: invalid date “333”.to_date # => Fri, 29 Nov 2013 “`
Deprecations¶ ↑
-
Deprecate
ActiveSupport::TestCase#pending
method, useskip
from MiniTest instead. -
ActiveSupport::Benchmarkable#silence
has been deprecated due to its lack of thread safety. It will be removed without replacement in Rails 4.1. -

Deprecations¶ ↑
Active Record¶ ↑
Please refer to the Changelog for detailed changes.
Notable changes¶ ↑
-
Improve ways to write
change
migrations, making the oldup
&down
methods no longer necessary.-
The methods
drop_table
andremove_column
are now reversible, as long as the necessary information is given. The methodremove_column
used to accept multiple column names; instead useremove_columns
(which is not revertible). The methodchange_table
is also reversible, as long as its block doesn't callremove
,change
orchange_default
-
New method
reversible
makes it possible to specify code to be run when migrating up or down. See the Guide on Migration -
New method
revert
will revert a whole migration or the given block. If migrating down, the given migration / block is run normally. See the Guide on Migration
-
-
Adds PostgreSQL array type support. Any datatype can be used to create an array column, with full migration and schema dumper support.
-
Add
Relation#load
to explicitly load the record and returnself
. -
Model.all
now returns anActiveRecord::Relation
, rather than an array of records. UseRelation#to_a
if you really want an array. In some specific cases, this may cause breakage when upgrading. -
Added
ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending!
that raises an error if migrations are pending. -
Added custom coders support for
ActiveRecord::Store
. Now you can set your custom coder like this:store :settings, accessors: [ :color, :homepage ], coder: JSON
-
mysql
andmysql2
connections will setSQL_MODE=STRICT_ALL_TABLES
by default to avoid silent data loss. This can be disabled by specifyingstrict: false
in yourdatabase.yml
. -
Remove IdentityMap.
-
Remove automatic execution of EXPLAIN queries. The option
active_record.auto_explain_threshold_in_seconds
is no longer used and should be removed. -
Adds
ActiveRecord::NullRelation
andActiveRecord::Relation#none
implementing the null object pattern for the Relation class. -
Added
create_join_table
migration helper to create HABTM join tables. -
Allows PostgreSQL hstore records to be created.
Deprecations¶ ↑
-
Deprecated the old-style hash based finder API. This means that methods which previously accepted “finder options” no longer do.
-
All dynamic methods except for
find_by_...
andfind_by_...!
are deprecated. Here's how you can rewrite the code:-
find_all_by_...
can be rewritten usingwhere(...)
. -
find_last_by_...
can be rewritten usingwhere(...).last
. -
scoped_by_...
can be rewritten usingwhere(...)
. -
find_or_initialize_by_...
can be rewritten usingfind_or_initialize_by(...)
. -
find_or_create_by_...
can be rewritten usingfind_or_create_by(...)
. -
find_or_create_by_...!
can be rewritten usingfind_or_create_by!(...)
.

First of all, thank you for purchasing this Bootstrap theme, your support makes it all possible!
This webpage takes you by hand on how to install this theme and will explain all technical details. If you are having difficulties when editing the theme I encourage you to read this page very thoroughly! You'll most likely find your answer here.
tamashi-crowdbound-1.0.4.zip
to a new folder that you can name however you'd like. Your unzipped folder will contain:
public/
- Folder containing HTML files, images, compiled scripts and compiled CSSsource/
- Folder containing all JS & LESS filesdocumentation/
- Folder containing the documentationpublic/
- Upload the contents of the public folder to your FTP serverPerkido consits out of 3 parts, a UI kit, a set of 100+ custom components, and 9 pre-build pages.
It's true, everything is styled to match Perkido! View the UI kit
Perkido comes with 100+ components that you can use in your projects. View the components
homepage-1.html
homepage-2.html
homepage-3.html
about-us-1.html
& about-us-2.html
services.html
portfolio-1.html
portfolio-post-1.html
contact.html
Perkido can be easily customized using LESS, all the theme specific files can be found in source/less/crowdbound
. Afterwards Bootstrap and Perkido are both included in theme.less
and components.less
, this is also the place where you can override components to your liking! After you've edited your LESS files simply compile the files theme.less
and components.less
and you will have 2 brand new customized CSS files!
Alternatively you can also edit the precompiled theme.css
and components.css
file contained in the public/css
folder.
Want to do this a tad more advanced? Grunt is the way to go.
We’ve also included a custom Grunt file, which can be used to quickly re-compile a theme’s CSS and JS. You’ll need to install Grunt before using our included gruntfile.jsnpm install -g grunt-cli
When you’re done, make sure you’ve installed the rest of the theme’s dependencies:npm install
Afterwards just run this simple command from the root folder to compile all the edited JS & LESS!grunt
To add new JS plugins, simply add the downloaded plugin file to the source/js/libs
folder and run Grunt, the plugin will automatically compile into the main JS file! Afterwards add your custom code to global.js
located in source/js
Note: Running Grunt also starts a Browsersync session, so you can edit LESS files while the browser live reloads the changes, spiffy!
The transparent header swaps out 2 images on scroll, however, the path to the images is absolute. You can view the example below the pages homepage-1.html
and homepage-3.html
.
Bamboo uses a set of 150 outlined icons made by Dario Ferrande and can be found here.
A list of these fonts and their mappings can be found here.
Perkido utilizes just 1 font:
These fonts can be edited or removed in the head
section of the index.html
and then in the variables.less
document. Located in source/less/crowdbound
on line 58
This theme uses the amazing power of Flickity to create sliders! You can edit the settings in source/js/global.js
Please view the homepage of Flickity itself for additional documentation!
Perkido consists out of 4 colours, 1 main colour, 1 secondary colour and 1 tertiary colour, paired with a 'cool gray'.
Primary / #3897ff
Secondary / #673ab7
Tertiary / #f44336
Cool Gray / #445862
These colours are easily editable site-wide in the variables.less
document. Located in source/less/crowdbound
from line 1 to line 34. Edit them to match your brand!
The Perkido contact form is fully functional right out of the package, spiffy! Open the file processForm-contact.php
located in the assets/email
folder and edit these lines:
define( "RECIPIENT_NAME", "Your name" );
define( "RECIPIENT_EMAIL"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>);
define( "EMAIL_SUBJECT", "Visitor Message" );
The footer houses room for a subscribe feature, you can integrate it with services like Mailchimp.
Congratulation, you should now be done editing your website! Upload all the files and folders inside your 'public'
folder to the root of your remote server.
We recommend using Filezilla to upload your files. It is fast and easy to use.
Note: Make sure you don't upload the 'documentation' and 'source' folder.
Social icons
The footer houses room for a ton of social icons, all available icons can be found on FontAwesome. Add or remove them as you see fit.

I use Goodreads to keep track of books I've read but their API is not stellar and they can't provide links to cover images which is a must-have for a shelf view. Since I don't read at breakneck speeds I just made a spreadsheet myself with information from my Goodreads data and links to cover art.
That spreadsheet is turned into JSON with my tool that does the spreadsheet-to-JSON conversion for you. This site is built with Eleventy so I created a template in the HTML that uses that JSON data. You can go directly the template and see the code on Glitch.
