Problems
When I was contracted to join an engineering team that had big plans to modernize several systems along the PRICE tool chain I was excited. For over six months an internal Enterprise UX team had been dismissive of all requests to help this struggling PRICE org with their modernization efforts on a myriad of products. An organization of designers allocated to specifically address these concerns and issues basically refused to work with my manager. This was opportunity to show what I was made of and that I could drive results, innovate, and deliver on UX. I was coming out of a two-year hiatus that took me from Cape Town to Japan to Colombia, spreading myself around the USA Canada and abroad, spending the equity [recklessly] that I reclaimed after selling the house that I owned for almost a decade. It was time to kick off the ring rust and return to the work force. I was initially tasked with The Off Price Clearance Tool’s “Gone Fishing Experience” and along the way addressed some CSS bugs. In doing so the familiar hodgepodge of CSS drew my desire to not only rewrite the code base but also to also address some UX issues that I noticed. I wireframed and prototyped a new feature demonstrating the aggregation of Errors and Warnings into a console that would serve as our proposal to introduce the foundation for the PRICE Tools Modernization effort on the UI front. I envisioned a multi-tool that would enable authorized users to work across multiple angles of the business via a singular Progressive Web App with a familiar toolset based off a pattern library that other dev teams could draw inspiration from and contribute to. Common UI emerged and we began to cross-pollinate, breaking down walls between engineering teams tackling new projects such as CompIntel and the future FULL Price Clearance Tool, Ticketing, Events, and began to break open silos as a wealth of information from the business began to flow through our applications.
Discovering
When the CompIntel effort began we met with the “power users” of the competitive intelligence process and learned how QAs and Buying Office operated as a unit verifying third-party “Boomerang Data” and the matching and validation of items for the entire catalog were determined for price matching and remaining competitive. There was a lot to learn and we wondered if our tool would actually enhance productivity. Some of the power users were incredibly nimble using traditional Excel spreadsheets, Slack, and email. One thing we knew though that the process of persisting data would be expedited from thirty minutes or more to almost instantaneously. Huge win. Further more, since Boomerang data wasn’t trusted because of the latency between getting the data and being able to validate hundreds of thousands of items, sizes, colors, permutations in styles, colors, cosmetics, household goods, etc, seemed improbable at best. The opportunity to introduce AI to help this process along was on the brink. Perhaps saving millions a month on this third-party service we might be able to remove from the equation. Huge win. One of the issues was definitely tackling how Amazon obfuscates their front-end. I proposed a Chrome Extension with web-sockets that would help the user to identify the drop down and from that select box we could garner what permutations existed using the event.currentTarget to see what unfolded. Huge win as, as we were demoed, bra sizes can be plentiful! Huge wins on time to reduce the amount of laborious manual clicking and recording and verifying and validating that had to be performed by Nordstrom daily!
Ideation & Wireframing
Pivoting off The experience of learning from the users how they contribute to the Nordstrom business daily had my mind turning. The lead engineers and myself spent time talking about the problems and proposing ideas. We spent a lot of time graffiti-ing up whiteboards, pretty much the only reason I even have a job. I love scribbling and drawing pictures. We determined that there were essentially three experiences. Admin for setting up Daily Assignments for users and Departments and Divisions they were responsible for and the Daily and Weekly Cadence. I had big ideas here. I began to examine them on the whiteboard and in Sketch and passed it around with some engineers and we showed some colleagues, and then I immediately began prototyping in CodePen and developing out the CSS and HTML and created higher fidelity clickable prototypes that influenced our overall interface design approach and eventually design system. Working in this manner allowed me to fork and fail often, work in isolation and include the entire landscape to see how things flowed together and built on top of previous UI. It allowed the Common UI to emerge organically and failing and pivoting often and being able to dabble nimbly in the CodePen environment allowed for sharing and testing and demoing across systems and platforms from Mac with retina to older PCs, laptops, and seeing our product on a myriad of screens enabled more transparency and informed design to transpire. We also determined there was a QA and a BO marriage happening and we began to deep dive into questions for AuthZ and whether users were capable of re-assigning and performing both duties. I began to wireframe in Sketch while working in CodePen, which I prefer for all ends of the design process. While I was working on this I was thinking in generalities for Common UI but also how I could add some pizzazz to CompIntel and flex my product design, visual design, interaction design, UI design, and CSS muscles. I was dreaming up animations and microinteractions and features to increase productivity and began to think how we could incentivize our users to be competitive with each other. I wanted to gamify the experience and after hiring a junior design to groom to take over some future projects and basically work the way I do while being closer to the PM PdM side of the UX equation I sent him to the QA who demo’d us the bras and I snuck in some BATMAN FIGHTWORDS into the UI so that I could surprise and delight our QA user. He admitted to being disgusted but she loved it and thought the POW! Zing! Kaboom! BAM! Was “SOO COOL!” as she completed tasks. Easter Eggs were born. Users could see progress and who was the most efficient and performance could not only be measured and assets and inventory reallocated but high performers would be rewarded with discounts or gift cards, extra time off, etc.
Feedback
When we demo’d we didn’t have much push back. I think I nailed the visual appeal that they didn’t even realize they were getting and deserving of...  I attribute my ring rust to missing some minor details, but I had covered them elsewhere in the app, so surfacing them for greater discoverability was a simple address. During the Pilot we received positive feedback from many avenues of the business and I was shuffled onto another project to continue the efforts of OPCT and Full Price Clearance tool as I was originally assigned with my new hire designer having really worked hard for the cause extracting information and putting together the requirements gathering and diagraming process as a liasion for the business and Product Management, etc. I’ve been getting a lot of buzz and I am happy with how I joined this effort and how everyone rose to the occasion and even with the pressure we were able to deliver a quality product in record time. I am about to tell everyone thank you for the trust. They all earned mine and I hope that I can continue to show and prove. Again, I am kicking off ring rust and re-entering the work force and it was tough but I have been been elated by the friendships forged in the trenches and managerial, directorial, peer, on up to VP feedback I’ve received.
Set the tone
To design the final mock up we need to set the tones of the app that reflect the brand of the product. Since the app didn’t have this yet, I created quick simple brand guideline to ensure all the design process will follow the guides and become more consistent from wireframing and presenting early to the business to higher fidelity CSS and JavaScript Prototypes to being able to wireframe in the browser using our minimal framework that would join the CommonUI and continue to improve the fit and finish of all our products.
Put the details
As we continued to grow and discover how we could fit everything that needed to be included to satiate the business requirements but continue to grow with the needs we found card interactions, ribbons to show clearance items, even animations for microinteractions like prices being slashed and crossed our and new prices animated in. The entire process was meant to essentially guide the user to simply know where to click and sort of like whack a mole begin “bug bashing” the verification and validation process.
Conclusion
Still reading this? Glad you make it to this point! So I learn few things when designing this app.
This effort would serve for the foundation of our future automation work in machine learning and artificial intel. I am hoping that the system can run this in a detached headless browser state and everyday when the users start they can basically have all the work pre-verified and ready to be price matched and sent to the buying office. I want to create another companion PWA experience where the QAs and BO’s can simply trust the AI and our systems utilize this information to identify trends to determine when to sell high or move inventory around. A lot of insights can be gathered from why inventory is being sold for the low or prices and inventory fluctuate. I am sure it’s already innate and baked into the processes that buyers and the business already strategies around. I am imagining that this new AI will not take away jobs from people but allow them to work harder and smarter and be more effective. Essentially everyone will have a personally assistant, a robot, that takes a lot of the tedious manual labor off their plate and allows them to see the greater landscape for their decision making.
Thank you for reading this! :)
- Quality matters in all details, big and small.
- Innovation is for the customer, not for ourselves or the competition.
- Accessibility for people and devices is a core customer service value.
- Performance makes or breaks even the most carefully designed experience.
- Consistency simplifies the customer experience.
- Effortlessness is as important in design as it is in fashion.

Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar.
In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.

In winter 2019, I worked as a volunteer teacher to help improve English education at Er Yuan. We taught demonstration English lessons in three elementary schools and held lecture on phonetic symbols to all primary school English Teachers in the county. We even designed Er Yuan English midterm and final exam papers. I was chosen to record the listening section of the county's English exams. That semester, Er Yuan County saw its students' English scores raised from average 63 in midterm to 79 in final.

Hello! I’m Lucah. I’m originally from Ohio, but currently reside in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m an extreme lover of music, cartoons, cooking, illustration/ screen printing .. really anything art related is my thing. However, my first job in high school was at the local pizza shop and I had continued working in restaurants and cafes for over 10 years!
All of my restaurant experiences have been centered around being part of a team, which has motivated me to step up and be a leader. I worked my way up in the scene and had the opportunity to become part of team leading and management. I live to lift people up and thrive off of setting the tone for a positive culture and environment that ultimately leads to a successful, motivated, hard working team.
While the restaurant scene has been wonderful to me, I decided it was time for a change. I’ve always been extremely artistic, so I was thinking to myself, “ how could I best apply this to a career?” I’ve always had an interest in advertising and graphic design, specifically gearing towards web design. Being in the Bay Area has really opened my eyes up to the tech industry and all it has to offer. I suddenly started realizing just how artistic programming can be. You have the opportunity to not only design applications, but create them yourself inside and out.  I decided to take the leap and learn. I believe combining my inner creator with all of my teamwork and leadership experience, will undoubtedly fuel me toward success in this industry.

@remarks The individual bytes in the array returned by this method appear in little-endian order. That is, the lower-order bytes of the value precede the higher-order bytes. The first byte of the array reflects the first eight bits of the BigInteger value, the second byte reflects the next eight bits, and so on. For example, the value 1024, or 0x0400, is stored as the following array of two bytes:
| Element | Byte value |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0x00 |
| 1 | 0x04 |
Negative values are written to the array using two's complement representation in the most compact form possible. For example, -1 is represented as a single byte whose value is 0xFF instead of as an array with multiple elements, such as 0xFF, 0xFF or 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF.
Because two's complement representation always interprets the highest-order bit of the last byte in the array (the byte at position UBound(Array)) as the sign bit, the method returns a byte array with an extra element whose value is zero to disambiguate positive values that could otherwise be interpreted as having their sign bits set. For example, the value 120 or 0x78 is represented as a single-byte array: 0x78. However, 128, or 0x80, is represented as a two-byte array: 0x80, 0x00.
You can round-trip a BigInteger value by storing it to a byte array and then restoring it using the NewBigInteger(Byte()) constructor.
| Caution |
|---|
| If your code modifies the value of individual bytes in the array returned by this method before it restores the value, you must make sure that you do not unintentionally change the sign bit. For example, if your modifications increase a positive value so that the highest-order bit in the last element of the byte array becomes set, you can add a new byte whose value is zero to the end of the array. |

TxGIS Day, 2019
This year we are yet again bringing hands-on GIS data collection to the masses. In collaboration with the Texas A&M Department of Geography, the Texas A&M Office of Mapping & Space Information, the Texas A&M Office Division of Information Technology, and the Texas A&M Office of the University Architect, we are hosting the TAMU Permanent Signage Challenge.
The purpose of the challenge is to locate and categorize all permanent signage features on campus from crowd-sourced photos and surveys submitted by the members and guests of the TAMU community. This event is proudly sponsored by the following organizations:
Throughout the course of the three-day long TxGIS Day event(s), any TxGIS Day participant will be able to submit data in the form of photos and survey responses of any permanent signage features on our beautiful campus including (but not limited to) stop, yield, parking (reserved, visitor, business), wheelchair accessible, bus stop, and building signs with their own personal cell phones through the Official TxGIS Day Competitions App.
Features not allowed as a valid submission include posters, lawn signs, or any other temporary sign.

While we encourage everyone to download the app and submit data, only current TAMU graduate and undergraduate students are eligible to win.
In order for a chance to win, participants will be required to have an active TxGIS Day account. Using the official Official TxGIS Day Competitions App, users will take photos of any and all permanent signage on the TAMU campus. Capture permanent signage on main campus, west campus, riverside campus, and anywhere that you think is TAMU land and submit them.
Only participant submissions collected during the three days of TxGIS Day and before the Awards Ceremony will be included as eligible submissions (12:01AM Monday - 11:15AM Wednesday). The sponsoring organizations would certainly appreciate the efforts of people who collect data before and after TxGIS Day, so feel free to start collecting early and continue collecting after, but these submissions will not be considered for an award.
The participant with the highest number of points from verified submissions at the conclusion of the TxGIS Day event will be awarded 1st place. The next highest number will be awarded 2nd place, and the next 3rd place.
Winners will be awarded with prizes generously provided by the Texas A&M Office of Mapping & Space Information, the Texas A&M Office Division of Information Technology, and the Texas A&M Office of the University Architect.
Winners will be announced on Wednesday, November 13 at the GIS Industry Panel & Lunch & Awards session.
Participants do not need to be present at the Awards Ceremony in order to be selected as a winner.
The purpose of this study is to leverage the data collection abilities of the 2,500+ TAMU faculty, students, staff, and visitors who participate in the TxGIS Day events per year to gather data about the TAMU campus. Each year, the TxGIS Day planning committee organizes a GIS Mapping Competition where TxGIS Day participants gather data (GPS, photos, and other attributes) of amenities and services on campus. You are invited to participate in these data collection efforts!
You are being asked to be in this study because you have a relationship with Texas A&M either as a faculty or staff member, a student, or a visitor.
The study organizers hope to engage 2,500 study participants per year for each of the four years of the project. We will contact 50,000 people per year (roughly the number all TAMU students, faculty, and staff) in order to achieve these participant numbers for each year of the project.
The alternative to being in the study is not to participate. Participation in this study is not mandatory, and non-participation will not impact you in any fashion.
You will be asked to walk around the TAMU campus and take pictures of buildings. In 2019, you are being asked to take pictures of the exteriors of TAMU structures. In future years, the organizing committee will survey different aspects of the TAMU campus.
The things that you will be doing will pose no greater risks than the you would come across in everyday life. While collecting data, you will be submitting your location (actually the location of the thing you are collecting about), which could expose the locations that you collected data at, should these data be stolen. Other risks include a breach of confidentiality should study information about you (name, email, TAMU department, and TAMU classification) be stolen.
Aside from your time, there are no costs for taking part in the study. Your participation can take any amount of time up to seven days (the full length of the week around TxGIS Day), but we expect that most people will participate for less than two hours.
Photos, video, and audio recordings will not be taken of you as part of this study.
You will not be paid for being in this study, but there will be an award given to at least one of the participants who will be selected at random from all participants who create accounts. Creating an account is not mandatory. You can participate anonymously without creating an account, but in this case you will not be eligible for winning prizes (since we won't know how you are!!).
The records of this study will be kept private. Any personally identifiable information you submit during the course of creating an account will be removed from the data when it is used in publications or presentations. You may choose to submit data anonymously, in which case no identifiable information will be collected from or about you.
Research records will be stored securely in the TAMU West Campus Data Center, and only Dr. Daniel Goldberg, other members of the project team, and TAMU IT data center staff will have access to the records. Representatives of regulatory agencies such as the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) and entities such as the Texas A&M University Human Subjects Protection Program may access your records to make sure the study is being run correctly and that information is collected properly.
This research is voluntary and you have the choice whether or not to be in this research study. You may decide to not begin or to stop participating at any time. If you choose not to be in this study or stop being in the study, there will be no effect on your status, grades, employment, or relationship with Texas A&M University, etc. Any new information discovered about the research will be provided to you. This information could affect your willingness to continue your participation.
You may contact the Principal Investigator, Daniel Goldberg, PhD, to tell him about a concern or complaint about this research at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For questions about your rights as a research participant; or if you have questions, complaints, or concerns about the research, you may call the Texas A&M University Human Subjects Protection Program office at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>IRB NUMBER: IRB2016-0672M

Testimonials and Success Stories
The following are a just a few of the success stories people have of using the server in production environments
- Nicolas Baradakis - Cegetel
I'm working as a consultant at Cegetel, the second largest telecommunications operator in France: we handle hundreds of thousands ADSL users, Wifi hotspots in main railway stations, and we also rent RADIUS services to companies who connect their agencies or their mobile workers through our network.
My co-worker Thomas Marchesseau designed a setup based on FreeRADIUS, LVS (Linux Virtual Server) and MySQL replication. The main idea is to have the NAS send the requests to a virtual IP owned by a couple of LVS, which distribute the load on the pool of FreeRADIUS servers.
- This setup is redundant, there is no point of failure: the LVS periodically checks whether the servers are alive, and keepalived runs the backup LVS when the master is down.
- This setup is scalable: as the traffic increases,
you can add new machines in the pool without restarting the
service. (the performance will proportionally rise)
- The LVS divides the RADIUS load between more machines.
- The MySQL replication ensures there is no bottleneck on the database.
- This setup is inexpensive: we are using free software and we don't need specific hardware, just ordinary PC are fine. Even if a machine breaks down, the service is still running on the remaining machines.
FreeRADIUS offers not only a high level of performance and availability. It also has more flexibility than any commercial product. You can do a lot of things through the config files, and easily write plugins to do the most esoteric things whithin the server. Thanks to FreeRADIUS we are able to manage complex situations: we have a lot of heterogeneous services which send requests to the same pool of proxies. Some of them requires specific actions on the RADIUS packets.
We were able to match our needs because the project is open source. Indeed, we were able to freely add the features that we found useful. We can also quickly fix some bugs (it happens) without waiting for someone else to write a patch. All contributions from Cegetel are submitted on the project's mailing list, and some of them are now available in the current version of FreeRADIUS.
- Kostas Kalevras - Greek School Network
We have 4500 schools connecting through ISDN lines, 30000 dialup accounts, a lot of ADSL connections and 51 access servers. Two of them are Cisco 5800 and the rest are Cisco 3640/3660. In total around 5000 lines.
We have two radius servers, one serving the South of Greece (including Attika which hosts the main 5800 access server with 600 lines) and the other serving the North of Greece (which includes the other 5800 with 300 lines). Both radius servers act as a backup for the other.
The user database is in LDAP (iPlanet DS5.1) while the accounting is maintained in MySQL+InnoDB databases. Each server replicates the accounting information through radrelay to the other one. That way we maintain full accounting on each server and can enforce national double login detection and also have nice redundancy.
The MySQL databases are hosted on the same machines as are the radius servers (meaning we have 2 MySQL/RADIUS servers). The LDAP servers are hosted on different machines. The machines are Sun V120 with 1GB RAM and Solaris 8 each.
We do a lot of attribute rewriting through the attr_rewrite module and we have also enabled the detail accounting module for radrelay to work.
The schools connect on demand (when there is a request for something from the internet) so we get a *lot* of connections. For weekdays we get around 100000 connections per day. For each connection we get: Access-Request,Accounting-Start,Accounting-Stop. In other words the servers need to handle 3 RADIUS packets per connection.
Here is a typical top output. As you can see freeradius has no problem handling the load.PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 25361 root 23 58 0 8160K 5448K sleep 35:45 0.34% radiusd 2923 mysql 121 59 0 193M 108M sleep 73.2H 0.28% mysqld 21750 nobody 4 58 0 26M 16M sleep 0:43 0.21% httpd 19294 nobody 3 35 0 3904K 2992K sleep 1:56 0.21% libhttpd.ep

I'm currently running FreeRadius with rlm_ldap in production environment, with failover setup to use rlm_pam as backup.
- anonymous (For corporate reasons, this
administrator wishes to remain anonymous.)
We chose FreeRADIUS because of it's simplicity, flexibility, and cost. We investigated everything from the older Cistron RADIUS (and all the other RADIUS servers listed on the FreeRADIUS site) to multiple commercial servers, to replace our existing commercial system.
Our current comercial RADIUS server has restrictions on it's capabilities, and since our customer base has expanded, we would have to upgrade our license in order to handle our increased load. This upgrade would have cost us several thousand dollars.With that cost in mind, we decided to look at what else existed. We investigated all the others, freeware and otherwise, and in the end chose FreeRADIUS for several reasons:
- You can't beat the cost. :-)
- In our environment, we had Linux boxes already available and in place which could do double-duty as RADIUS servers. To use a product like our existing server, not only would it cost us money, but we would have to buy additional hardware just to run the software.
- FreeRADIUS, of all the open source products, seemed to be where the future was at. Modular design, simple configuration...of the open source packages, it definitely seemed the way to go.
- The variety of ways in which FreeRADIUS can interface with data stores (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, LDAP, etc.) caught our attention, as we run various platforms here. We have Oracle databases, MySQL databases, LDAP servers, you name it. The fact we had this kind of flexibility with FreeRADIUS appealed to us.
- Our network design involved two RADIUS servers, one in each of our core locations, requiring a method of keeping usernames/passwords in sync. Our customer data resides in an Oracle database running on an AIX node. By running FreeRADIUS hooked into MySQL, we could tap MySQL's replication feature, running a copy of MySQL on the AIX node (acting as master), with the RADIUS servers acting as slaves. This kind of replication/synchronization in the commercial RADIUS world requires several thousand dollar packages. We did it for a sum total of $0.00 USD!
And though some would rightly argue that using 'free' software often costs a company more in man-hours, we are an agency with salaried staff, so there is no additional cost in our case, as the overriding emphasis was on keeping out of pocket expenses to a minimum. Our time is already paid for.
But even if that wasn't the case, I believe I would still use FreeRADIUS, simply because it IS just so darn flexible. The synchronization design mentioned above was not implemented in the end, mostly due to other considerations. That is, our current setup involved sucking data out of the Oracle customer database, then having Perl scripts massage that data for export to both our peers and to our old Kerberos servers (still used for certain dialup functions). To keep conversion time down, the decision was made that, at least for now, the solution would involve simply adjusting the Perl scripts and blowing out the data to the MySQL servers instead.
Using tools such as FreeRADIUS gave us options I do not believe canned, commercial packages offer. Yes, it can be a little more elbow grease. And yes, the lack of a nice GUI for those looking for a canned solution IS a concern. But there is a web front end which is a good start.
- Networld + Interop Las Vegas 2003
FreeRADIUS was used in the InteropNet Labs during the show, in order to demonstrate Wireless LAN security. The overview document does not mention FreeRADIUS in the text, but it is one of the seven RADIUS servers in the green cloud at the bottom of page 1.
The wireless clients used in the demonstration included Cisco, MAC OSX, Windows, etc.

Aliasing Different Python Versions
2020-11-06
One minute
I hit an issue with Python versions when trying to install pyarrow (which, at the time of writing, is not supported by Python 3.9). I use brew to manage my Python versions (see details here) and I wanted to keep the python3
executable to the default version of Python (which is the latest version installed by brew), but still want to have the opportunity to easily use an older version of Python 3.X when needed.
python3 --version
# Python 3.9.0
python3 -m venv /path/to/virtual/env
# Creates a virtual environment using Python 3.9
The way I did this was through a bash alias, which basically allows you to create shortcuts to bash commands. (Here’s a link to an article that provides a brief overview of bash aliases.)
Provided that Python 3.8 is installed with brew, I alias python3.8
to the brew command to launch Python 3.8, $(brew<EMAIL_ADDRESS>. To make the alias persist when I start new bash sessions I store it in my ~/.bash_profile
file.
alias python3.8="$(brew<EMAIL_ADDRESS>python3.8 --version
# Python 3.8.6
This way I can create a virtual environment with Python 3.8 in a similar way to how I’d create it with the the python3 executable.
python3.8 -m venv /path/to/virtual/env
# Creates a virtual environment using Python 3.8

THE OTHER SISTER A movie review by Joe Barlow (c) Copyright 1999
STARRING: Juliette Lewis, Diane Keaton, Tom Skerritt, Giovanni Ribisi, Poppy Montgomery, Sarah Paulson, Hector Elizondo DIRECTOR: Garry Marshall WRITERS: Alexandra Rose and Blair Richwood RATED: PG-13 RELEASED: 1999
RATING: * 1/2 (out of a possible ****)
There is a scene early in "The Other Sister" which demonstrates the kind of film it could have been. Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis), a slightly retarted young woman in her late teens, has just come home from an institution. Sitting at the dinner table with her family for the first time in a decade, Carla proudly eats her meal with a fork, something she was unable to do the last time they saw her. No one at the table notices, or offers any sort of positive reinforcement.
It's a thoughtful scene, indicative of a movie that plans to take an honest, unabashed look at the world of the mentally handicapped and the challenges and triumphs contained therein. Unfortunately, it's the only such moment in the film. "The Other Sister" rapidly plummets to the level of crowd-pleasing formula, cheerfully abandoning the opportunity to say anything worthwhile. Worse, director Garry Marshall and his screenwriters seem to be laughing at the concept of retardation, and encouraging, no, *begging*, the audience to do the same.
Carla has a difficult time adjusting to home life, thanks to her mother, Elizabeth (Diane Keaton), a stuffy, overbearing woman who seems determined to shape her daughter into something she has no interest in being. Although her father Bradley (Tom Skerrit) is loving and supportive, Carla's mother seems determined to prevent her from doing anything that might indicate normality, such as going to college or moving out on her own.  His sense of adventure and independence impress Carla; soon the pair are romantically linked, allowing the film to set up scene after scene of standard romantic fare.
There is barely a moment in "The Other Sister" that deviates from convention or shows any independent thought whatsoever. Some examples: we have a "falling in love" montage. We have the required "couple has a big fight and split up, only to get back together again" scene. We have an overbearing parent, which is standard issue for any film that centers around a teenager. And when Carla's mother angrily announces that she doesn't want Carla to have anything to do with Daniel, I was able to predict the moment of reconciliation within three seconds of when it actually appeared on the screen.
An adherence to cliche is to be expected in films of this nature, though, and it's not why I disliked the movie. I was offended and annoyed by the fact that "The Other Sister" exists in a perpetual state of contradiction with itself. Carla understandably gets furious any time she thinks people are laughing at her; indeed, one such scene which occurs near the story's climax is heart-wrenching. But despite this, the film continuiously gives Carla and Daniel ridiculous dialogue that's clearly intended to be funny:
CARLA: I wonder who thought up sex in the first place. DANIEL: I think it was Madonna.
Why does Marshall want us to laugh at the ignorance of the same people the film is supposedly championing? Why does the movie abandon the more thoughtful issues it raises without so much as a backwards glance (such as the scene in which a young Carla pushes a little boy down the steps and severely injures him, and another in which Daniel is being evicted by his father for flunking out of school)? Why can't it devote more thought to a subplot involving Carla's gay sister Heather (Sarah Paulson)? As it stands, the Heather character seems to included for no other reason than lesbianism is "in" at the moment.
The acting is acceptable, although neither Lewis or Ribisi are completely convincing in these challenging roles. Again, I blame the script more than the actors: their lines make them come off not as mentally retarded, but as stand-up comedians with funny voices, rather like Adam Sandler in "The Waterboy."
From beginning to end, I despised "The Other Sister," a movie which tells us not to laugh at the disadvantaged... then conveys them as loveable goofballs continuously spouting sitcom-tinged dialogue. It tries to convince us that the mentally handicapped are valiant people, struggling in the face of adversity and deserving our respect (a sentiment I agree with), then makes them appear so "cutesy" that one is reminded of trained animals performing tricks at the circus. This is a film that didn't need to be made, and doesn't need to be seen.

Unlike other open source business platforms, ERPNext is fully Open Source, because unlike them, we don't think sustainability and open source live at odds.
Most open source platforms in the ERP / CRM / E-Commerce space are open core. These communities makes money from closed extensions and services to monetize their efforts. We believe this is not only wrong, but not sustainable. Here are the reasons
We know it is hard to make money from open source directly, but we have very high standards. The core maintainers of ERPNext are fully committed to open source and we expect the community to also believe in this core value.
If you are a service provider, there are many creative ways you can make money from ERPNext without diluting the open source imperative.
 ERPNext also has easy upgrades and migration. It is easy to deploy, backup and restore. And to top it off it, ERPNext is easy to develop with Frappe Framework.

--- title: Making GIFs in R author: Walter Muskovic date: '2021-02-20' slug: making-gifs-in-r categories: [] tags: - animation - GIF - plots ---
I recently tried out the gganimate R package and made some simple dynamic plots. Today I want to try out two other packages; gifski and magick, to see how easy it is to export some simple GIFs. It looks like magick can do a lot of image processing tasks, while gifski is pretty focused on the one task: images > GIF.
library(tidyverse)
library(gifski)
library(magick)
We will create a static plot first:
ggplot(data = tibble(x=seq(0,10,0.1), y=sin(seq(0,10,0.1))),
aes(x=x, y=y)) +
geom_point() +
ggtitle(" A Static Sine Wave")
Now we will try create a dynamic version with gifksi:
plot_sine <- function(i) {
p <- ggplot(data = data.frame(x=i,y=sin(i)), aes(x=x, y=y)) +
geom_point() +
ylim(c(-1,1)) +
xlim(c(0,10)) +
ggtitle("A Dynamic Sine Wave")
print(p)
}
save_gif(expr = pwalk(list(seq(0,10,0.1)), plot_sine),
gif_file = "gifski_sine_wave.gif",
width = 72*6, height = 72*3, res=72,
delay = 0.1, loop = TRUE, progress = FALSE)
Now we’ll try the same with :tophat::rabbit2::
# Make a directory to save png images in
dir.create("sine_wave_images")
# Create images
walk(1:101, function(i) ggsave(filename = str_glue('sine_wave_images/{str_pad(i,3,"left","0")}.png'),
plot = plot_sine(seq(0,10,0.1)[i]),
width = 6,height = 3, units = "in", dpi=72))
# Read in images, stitch them together, animate and write out
lapply(list.files("sine_wave_images/", full.names = TRUE),
image_read) %>%
image_join() %>%
image_animate(fps = 10) %>%
image_write(path = "magick_sine_wave.gif")
Check the size of each GIF file:
utils:::format.object_size(file.size("gifski_sine_wave.gif"), units = "auto")
139.5 Kb
utils:::format.object_size(file.size("magick_sine_wave.gif"), units = "auto")
1.6 Mb
The magick gif is ~10 times larger … I’m not sure why. gifski has another function save_gif
. Let’s try use that function to create a GIF using the same images we used with magick, then check the file size.
Using the same png files:
gifski(png_files = list.files("sine_wave_images/", full.names = TRUE),
gif_file = "gifski_sine_wave2.gif",
width = 72*6, height = 72*3,
delay = 0.1, loop = TRUE, progress = TRUE)
# Individual images no longer spark joy
unlink("sine_wave_images/", recursive = TRUE)
Check the size of the new GIF
utils:::format.object_size(file.size("gifski_sine_wave2.gif"), units = "auto")
139.5 Kb
It’s the same size :shrug:. There’s probably some magick options we could tweak to reduce the file size, but since this was just for fun I’ll leave it there for now.

Request middleware that encodes the body as JSON.
Processes only requests with matching Content-type or those without a type. If a request doesn't have a type but has a body, it sets the Content-type to JSON MIME-type.
Doesn't try to encode bodies that already are in string form.
# File lib/faraday_middleware/request/encode_json.rb, line 19 def call(env) match_content_type(env) do |data| env[:body] = encode data end @app.call env end
# File lib/faraday_middleware/request/encode_json.rb, line 26 def encode(data) ::JSON.dump data end
# File lib/faraday_middleware/request/encode_json.rb, line 42 def has_body?(env) body = env[:body] and !(body.respond_to?(:to_str) and body.empty?) end
# File lib/faraday_middleware/request/encode_json.rb, line 30 def match_content_type(env) if process_request?(env) env[:request_headers][CONTENT_TYPE] ||= MIME_TYPE yield env[:body] unless env[:body].respond_to?(:to_str) end end
# File lib/faraday_middleware/request/encode_json.rb, line 37 def process_request?(env) type = request_type(env) has_body?(env) and (type.empty? or type == MIME_TYPE) end

Our goal is to keep you warm and comfortable through the winter months. We know which products and systmens will work best for you.
Our recommondations will always keep your requirements and budget in mind. We´ll respond to your request and act quickly when you call.
Nothing is more improtant than your peace of mind when the weather is cold.
Cooling
Central air conditioning helps keep your environment cool and reduces humidity levels. As the central air conditioning system draws air out
of various rooms in your house or business through return air ducts, the air is pulled through an air filter, which removed airborne particles
such as dust and lint. The filtered air is then routed to air supply ductwork that carries it back to the rooms.


1 To a distance of four months' travel by land and water, then, there is knowledge of the Nile, besides the part of it that is in Egypt. So many months, as reckoning shows, are found to be spent by one going from Elephantine to the country of the Deserters. The river flows from the west and the sun's setting. Beyond this, no one has clear information to declare; for all that country is desolate because of the heat.
