Beyoncé Is Teasing New Ivy Park Merch, So Save Your Pennies
by Zoe HaylockJust in time for you to break your “spend less money” New Year’s resolution, Beyoncé is dropping brand-new Ivy Park merchandise in 2020. The singer teased the items in a series of Instagram posts Monday morning. The collection, out January 18, includes shoes, earrings, rings, bracelets, and potentially apparel, although the photos don’t give us a good look at any clothing. The jewelry has a gold Ivy Park logo, and the bracelets (or anklets) feature thick gold chains. There are also Adidas-logo studs, some with thin chains hanging off. The Queen B herself wears an Ivy Park–logo grill. As for kicks, Beyoncé only teased one pair of sneakers with a neon-orange stripe and Ivy Park logos.
This Adidas collab has been a long time in the making. Beyoncé bought out Ivy Park from Topshop owner Philip Green last year and announced a collaboration with Adidas in April.  After we all flocked to see that nature documentary Lion King remake, a little merch is simply what we deserve.


Lab Series: Interactive Mug with Sprayed EL Display
In this lab series, you will create the interactive mug shown below.
The mug consists of a sprayed electroluminescent display and an inkjet printed temperature sensor. When the user pours in tea or coffee, the mug can sense the temperature of the liquid and when its too hot, blink the display as a warning.
For each lab and pset in 6.810, you have the choice to either use our template design files or to make your own design. In the case of lab 5-8 that means you can either use our display design (coffee cup shape) or make your own display design. Sprayed displays have only about a 50% to work when you are new to spraying as a fabrication technique, thus if you decide to make your own design we recommend you also spray a few of our designs as a backup. If you decide to make your own, please make sure you read a bit ahead what's coming in lab 5/6/7/8. There is also the risk that your own design will have its own bugs that we are less knowledgable about. Below you see a custom display design from a 6.810 team from last year.

Terminology
Module
and mocked module
A module is a dependency or a file that is
imported by your code. Example: path
module,
module1
module, ...
import { resolve } from "path";
import { something } from "./module1";
There are 3 kinds of module:
- Native: Node builtin modules
-
Installed: installed
node_modules/
dependencies -
Local: any files in the
src/
folder
A mocked module is a module that was created to replace the original module for testea purpose.
Service
and mocked service
A service is an exported member of a
module, usually an exported class
in
a module. Example: MyService
service,
AnotherService
service, ...
import { MyService } from "./module1";
import { AnotherService } from "./module2";
A mocked service is a service that was created to replace the original service for testea purpose.
Stub
Stubbing is an action that replace a method of a server with a mocked one. Stubbing is useful when a method depends on other methods within the same service.
class MyService {
a() {
return 1;
}
b() {
const useTheAMethod = this.a();
return 2;
}
}
When testea the b()
method, we can set the
a()
method to returns whatever we want without
actually calling it.


China said to have asked big banks to increase loans to the manufacturing sector
by Dhwani MehtaReuters reports the latest headlines, citing that China has reportedly asked its big banks to increase loans to the manufacturing sector.
This effort to ramp up the country’s slowing economic growth comes after a couple of rate cuts by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC).
Meanwhile, USD/CNY remains on the front foot near 7.0315, as the Chinese yuan remains pressured by the US-China trade confusion.


More forestry woes
by Darren HandschuhThere are more woes for the beleaguered BC forest industry.
CTV News Vancouver Island is reporting forest management company Mosaic plans to temporarily shutter its logging operations.
The company said harvesting operations will cease on Monday, Nov. 25, a move that will impact roughly 2,000 workers.
“We are currently experiencing very challenging pricing and market conditions,” said Pam Agnew, communications manager for Mosaic Forest Management. “As a result, we are shutting down earlier, ahead of a usual winter shutdown.”
The company’s website says it employs people throughout Vancouver Island and Coastal B.C.
“The temporary curtailment impacts contractors, both union and non-union – approximately 2,000 people across the coast,” said Agnew.
In the Okanagan, Tolko Industries has recently announced plant closures, slow downs and layoffs.

Executive summary of 2020 National Budget Speech
As a matter of interest, we enclose a summary of the 2020 National Budget Speech for your perusal.
Finance Minister Tito Mboweni started his budget speech with his usual aloe reference:
“The Aloe Ferox survives and thrives when times are tough. It actually prefers less water. It wins even when it seems the odds are against it.”
Here’s the executive summary of this plus hour-long discussion.
- Finance Minister Tito Mboweni’s stated message for Budget 2020 is Consolidation, Reform and Growth.
- In the fiscal year to end February 2021, the State’s revenue is projected to grow by 4.9% to R1.58trn (29.2% of GDP) with expenditure at R1.95trn (36%). This means a consolidated budget deficit of R370.5bn, or 6.8% of GDP. Gross national debt is projected to be R3.56trn, or 65.6% of GDP by the end of 2020/21.
- State spending exceeded the Budgeted figure by R17bn. In the years ahead government spending is expected to grow at average annual rates of 5.1% mainly due to rising debt servicing costs. Treasury is budgeting for non-interest spending to fall in real terms.
- Eskom remains the top priority with a stable electricity supply cited by Mboweni as “our number one task.” Over the past 12 years Government has allocated R162bn in bailouts to State Owned Enterprises, 82% of which (R133bn) went to Eskom. Over the next three years the State will transfer a further R112bn to Eskom compared with the anticipated R69bn previously budgeted. The State has committed to inject R23bn annually into Eskom for the following seven years.
- As a result of higher than budgeted spending and lower than anticipated revenues, a number of South Africa’s key financial ratios have blown out to record or near record levels. This stems from a collapse in GDP to just 0.3% growth in 2019 compared with the 1.5% projection in the National Budget a year ago. Treasury’s projected income and expenditure numbers are based on GDP growth projections of 0.9% this year, 1.3% in 2021 and 1.6% in 2022.
- Mboweni expects the economy to receive a “number of jump starts” over the next 18 months, listing fruits of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s “reform agenda”; lower inflation; the interest rate reduction earlier this year; recent gains in prices of platinum group metals; the impending change to the electricity regulatory framework; and The tax proposals we are setting out today. On the other hand, problems with electricity supply with retard growth which is thus expected to average just over 1% during the next three years.
- Primarily due to lower economic growth, revenue for the State’s 2019/20 financial year is expected to come in R63.3bn below what had been expected a year ago. This is R10bn worse than had been projected less than four months ago in the MTBPS. Personal Income Tax accounted for R25bn of the shortfall; VAT for R16bn; and Corporate Income Tax for R13bn.
- The Budget Deficit for the past fiscal year soared from an expected 4.5% to 6.3% of GDP. The deficit is projected to rise further to a near record of 6.8% in the year ahead, the fourth successive increase after 2017’s 3.3%. This year’s deficit is the second highest on record, topped only by 7.1% in the pre-democracy-inflated year of 1993. The 2019 Budget Deficit was 4.2%
- Projected growth of 4.9% in tax revenue and continued spending increases means the public sector borrowing requirement continues to expand. After R280bn (5.7% of GDP) in 2019, it hit R333bn (6.2%) in the fiscal year to end February 2020. With lower revenue and higher spending, the State’s borrowing requirement is now projected to rise to R410bn (7.9%) in the year ahead and R454bn (8.4%) in 2022.
- Higher borrowing will push the country’s Debt-to-GDP ratio from last year’s 56.7% to a projected 61.6% for 2020 and 65.6% in the year ahead. The ratio is projected to will rise still further to a record 69.1% in 2022 and a new peak of 71.6% in 2023. The ratio was 26% when former President Jacob Zuma was appointed in 2009. Debt servicing costs have risen over this period from under 10% of the State’s total revenue to 15% this year.
- The decision to avoid tax increases was informed by the near record tax-to-GDP ratio of 26.3% and a tax buoyancy ratio (tax revenue growth relative to economic growth) which has fallen to 0.93%. As a result, Treasury believes tax increases would have been counter-productive, pointing to VAT where collections have fell in the past two years despite an increase in the rate to 15%. Despite a rate increase in last year’s Budget, income from the fuel levy fell R3.7bn.
- The rebuilding of SA Revenue Services is a top priority with implicated parties named in the Nugent Commission ejected and experienced personnel having returned. The Davis Tax Committee has been re-established and will focus on combatting tax leakages, customs fraud and trade mispricing. A new centre has been established to focus on wealthy individuals “who have complex tax affairs.” SARS is also applying a renewed focus on illicit and criminal activity.
- Anticipated savings from the early retirement of public servants has not materialised with just 4 000 accepting packages offered compared with an anticipated 30 000. Treasury is budgeting for a R160bn reduction in a public sector wage bill which has increased by 40% in real terms over the past 12 years “without equivalent increases in productivity.”
- Since 2008, South African Airways has incurred losses of R32bn and will receive a further R16.4bn from taxpayers in the next three years which has been put aside to settle the airline’s liabilities and interest.
- Personal income tax remains the State’s biggest source of income, contributing 38% of total tax. A total of 308 000 taxpayers earning over R1m a year are paying R220bn of the R550bn generated in PIT – 40% of the total. A total of 6.8m registered taxpayers earn less than R83 100 a year, the new tax threshold.
- Despite the injection of a further 9c a litre (from the overall 25c/l increase in fuel prices) the Road Accident Fund’s liabilities are forecast to exceed R600 billion by 2022/23. To address this, one of the options being considered is the introduction of compulsory third-party insurance.
- On Industrial Policy, an Innovation Fund will be capitalised with R1.2bn over the next three years; industrial business incentives worth R18.5bn will create and retain approximately 56,500 jobs; an additional R107m is reprioritised for the refurbishment of 27 industrial parks in townships and rural economies; and R6.5bn is being allocated for small business incentive programmes of which R2.2bn will be transferred to the Small Enterprise Development Agency. Together with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition, we are considering various proposals from ITAC related to scrap steel and poultry.
- The National Prosecuting Authority, the Special Investigating Unit and Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation get an additional R2.4bn in this Budget. This will enable the appointment of approximately 800 investigators and 277 prosecutors who will assist with, among other things, the clearing the backlog of cases such as those emanating from the Zondo commission.
- The new State Bank is ready to launch as a retail bank operating on commercial principles. It will be subject to the Banks Act and will have “an appropriate capital structure and performance parameters on investments and loan impairments.”
- South Africa’s Sovereign Wealth Fund has been created with a target capital amount of R30bn ($2bn). A relevant bill will be submitted during the course of this Parliament. Possible funding sources, include proceeds of spectrum allocation, petroleum, gas or minerals rights royalties, the sale of non-core state assets, future fiscal surpluses and money we aside from future Budgets.

Remarks
Migrating stacks from Elasticsearch to OpenSearch
You can't directly update CloudFormation templates to use the
AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain
resource in place of
AWS::Elasticsearch::Domain
, otherwise the corresponding domain will be
deleted along with all of its data.
Perform the following steps to migrate an Elasticsearch domain to an OpenSearch domain if the domain is defined within CloudFormation.
Step 1: Prepare your existing stack for deprecation
Make a copy of your original CloudFormation template, which contains the Elasticsearch
domain resource, for use in step 3. Then add the following attributes to the Elasticsearch
domain resource at the same level as Type
and Properties
.
DeletionPolicy: Retain
UpdateReplacePolicy: Retain
These settings ensure that CloudFormation doesn't delete or modify the corresponding domain when you delete this resource from your stack. If you have other custom resources defined in the stack that aren't critically important during the short migration period, you can delete them from the template and they'll be recreated when you create the new stack.
Step 2: Upgrade your domain to OpenSearch
After you add the two policy attributes to your template, upgrade your domain to an OpenSearch version using the normal upgrade process. For instructions, see Starting an upgrade. Make sure to take a snapshot of your domain before upgrading it to prevent accidental loss of data.
Step 3: Create a new CloudFormation template
While you wait for the upgrade to complete, prepare your new OpenSearch template. Using the copy of your original template that you made in step 1, make the following changes:
-
Change the domain resource type from
AWS::Elasticsearch::Domain
toAWS::OpenSearchService::Domain
. -
Add the
DeletionPolicy
andUpdateReplacePolicy
attributes to the resource, as you did in step 1. Change
ElasticsearchVersion
toEngineVersion
and set its value toOpenSearch_1.0
(or whichever version of OpenSearch you want to upgrade to).-
If your resource contains
ElasticsearchClusterConfig
, change it toClusterConfig
. -
Change the suffixes of all instance types from
.elasticsearch
to.search
. -
If your template includes
ColdStorageOptions
, remove it, as it's not currently supported for OpenSearch resources. -
If there are any
Fn::GetAtt
or!GetAtt
references to your domain ARN, change them to!GetAtt MyDomain.Arn
. -
Comment out any resources not currently within the stack (most likely everything except
AWS::OpenSearchService::Domain
).
See the next section for examples that demonstrate the new format.
Step 4: Import the OpenSearch stack
Once your domain upgrade finishes, you can import the new stack. Within CloudFormation, choose Create stack and With existing resources (import resources), then upload the template you created in the previous step.
CloudFormation prompts you for the name (identifier value) of the existing domain. Copy the domain name directly from the OpenSearch console. Give the stack a name that's different from the current one, then choose Import resources.
After the stack is created, uncomment any related resources from the stack and update it
to ensure they're recreated. You can remove the DeletionPolicy
and
UpdateReplacePolicy
attributes if you want, but they can help prevent
accidental deletions in the future.
Step 5: Delete the Elasticsearch stack
Now that your new stack is created, delete the old stack which contains the legacy Elasticsearch resource.
Before deleting the old stack, make absolutely sure that the template contains the
DeletionPolicy: Retain
attribute.

Create an OpenSearch Service domain that contains two data nodes and three master nodes
The following example creates an OpenSearch Service domain running OpenSearch 1.0 that contains two data nodes and three dedicated master nodes. The domain has 40 GiB of storage and enables log publishing for application logs, search slow logs, and index slow logs. The access policy permits the root user for the AWS account to make all HTTP requests to the domain, such as indexing documents or searching indexes.

The transitionMatrix Library¶
transitionMatrix is a Python powered library for the statistical analysis and visualization of state transition phenomena. It can be used to analyze any dataset that captures timestamped transitions in a discrete state space. Use cases include credit rating transitions, system state event logs and more.
Author: Open Risk
License: Apache 2.0
Code Documentation: Read The Docs
Mathematical Documentation: Open Risk Manual
Training: Open Risk Academy
Development Website: Github
Discussion: Open Risk Discord Server
Functionality¶
You can use transitionMatrix to
Estimate transition matrices from historical event data using a variety of estimators
Visualize event data and transition matrices
Characterise transition matrices
Manipulate transition matrices (derive generators, perform comparisons, stress transition rates etc.)
Access standardized datasets for testing
Extract and work with default curves
NB: transitionMatrix is still in active development. If you encounter issues please raise them in our github repository
Architecture¶
transitioMatrix supports file input/output in json and csv formats
it has a powerful API for handling event data (based on pandas)
provides intuitive objects for handling transition matrices individually and as sets (based on numpy)
supports visualization using matplotlib
Links to other open source software¶
Duration based estimators are similar to etm, an R package for estimating empirical transition matrices
There is some overlap with lower dimensionality (survival) models like lifelines
Installation¶
You can install and use the transitionMatrix package in any system that supports the Scipy ecosystem of tools
Dependencies¶
TransitionMatrix requires Python 3
It depends on numerical and data processing Python libraries (Numpy, Scipy, Pandas)
The Visualization API depends on Matplotlib
The precise dependencies are listed in the requirements.txt file.
TransitionMatrix may work with earlier versions of these packages but this has not been tested.
From PyPi¶
pip3 install pandas
pip3 install matplotlib
pip3 install transitionMatrix
From sources¶
Download the sources to your preferred directory:
git clone https://github.com/open-risk/transitionMatrix
Using virtualenv¶
It is advisable to install the package in a virtualenv so as not to interfere with your system’s python distribution
virtualenv -p python3 tm_test
source tm_test/bin/activate
If you do not have pandas already installed make sure you install it first (will also install numpy)
pip3 install pandas
pip3 install matplotlib
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Finally issue the install command and you are ready to go!
python3 setup.py install
File structure¶
The distribution has the following structure:
Testing¶
It is a good idea to run the test-suite. Before you get started:
Adjust the source directory path in transitionMatrix/__init__ and then issue the following in at the root of the distribution
Unzip the data files in the datasets directory
python3 test.py
Getting Started¶
Check the Usage pages in this documentation
Look at the examples directory for a variety of typical workflows.
For more in depth study, the Open Risk Academy has courses elaborating on the use of the library

public class PitchModel
The PitchModel class represents a 1-order Markov model describing a probability matrix of Pitches. The model is a lookup table that will return P(X|Y), where X and Y are a set of notes in a given context. For more complex models, this class could be written to include support for cases where Y is a series of notes, increasing the order of the model up to the number of notes in Y. Models must be locked after loading before use, such that no further changes can be made to a model, and the model is deemed valid. Please see additional documentation and the technical report for information regarding pitch models.

If input col
is a vector given colors are first transformed to RGB
(either using hex2RGB

) and then to HCL
(polarLUV
). In HCL, chroma is reduced
and then the color is transformed back to a hexadecimal
string.
If input col

(top down) they are interpreted as Red-Green-Blue values within the
range [0-255]

Park Min Young, who uploaded a collage of photos taken with Goo Hara in the past, wrote, "I am sorry that I couldn't keep you company on your last road... I will always remember you as my cute Hara, have a safe journey."
In related news, celebrities DinDin, Tiger JK, Harisu, and Chae Ri Na have also posted to mourn the loss of Goo Hara.


MACROSS PLUS A film review by Serdar Yegulalp Copyright 1997 Serdar Yegulalp
MACROSS PLUS (video) (pts. 1-4)
CAPSULE: Gives "Akira" a run for its money, and makes more sense. Gorgeous to look at, and more than a little heart-tugging, too.
The excellent "Ghost in the Shell" hinted at what combining computer graphics with conventional cel animation could do. "Macross Plus", an anime series distributed in four 40-minute installments by Manga Video, ups the ante even further.
This is quite simply the most astonishing-looking animated series I've seen. It's also a hell of a story, lest we forget that the visuals are not going to make it alone (which was the single biggest problem with "Memories" -- stunning images and very shallow storytelling).
Set in the same universe as the other Macross stories (although seeing them is not a prerequisite), the story revolves around three characters: Isamu Dyson, a reckless but incredibly skilled pilot whose antics have gotten him reassigned to a test pilot gig on his homeworld, Eden. Most other pilots would veer shuddering from the opportunity, but Dyson gobbles it up, not even blinking when he hears that the other folks who flew the transforming fighter he's going to be testing didn't last more than a week.
Another plane is being tested in the same program -- a sleek monster that is straight out of the Clint Eastwood movie "Firefox": the pilot operates it with mental commands. And as it turn out, an old rival of Dyson's, Guld Goa Bowman -- an alien halfbreed -- is the pilot. The two are snarling down each other's necklines almost instantly.
Also on Eden is Myung Fang Lone, a former singer-turned-producer who is now manager of the galaxy's most popular singer, Sharon Apple. Myung was romantically involved with both men at one point, but something terrible happened between all three of them at some point (the single weakness in the movie's story is the use of the Gradually Expanding Flashback to reveal this detail), and now tension rides high.
The plot twists come on quick and strong. First, Sharon Apple is a computer, whose music-making is guided by Myung's thoughts in exactly the same fashion that Bowman pilots his craft. No one outside of the inner circle of Myung and her producer know this -- and there's even more to it than that. Much more. And then there's the *third* plane being tested in the project, about which the less said the better.
What's amazing is that with all of this hardware, the story is never less than absorbing on the human level. The characters are all very strongly delineated and draw us into their world without seeming to try very hard; the voice-acting is also several notches lower than the usual anime histronics, thank goodness. A spectacular score, second only to "Memories" and "Akira", accompanies all the action, and is available on two CDs -- and includes several songs allegedly by Sharon Apple which in my opinion have the potential to chart. They are that good.
The ending is astonishing in its emotional impact. I will not reveal it here. All I can say is that the last thirty minutes of the movie find the perfect metaphors -- story, visual, conceptual, technical, what have you -- to get the point across brilliantly. "Macross Plus" deserves to share shelf space with "Akira", or any of the Miyazaki films, as one of the best examples of how animation can transcend its boundaries.
Four out of four virtuoid idols.

Instructions for cheap Mass production of Nanocellulose. Under 50 cents per pound total cost including equipment purchase and deprecation, raw materials, facility, and energy costs. It needs rewritten to comply with your format. It is being released as Creative Commons and is not yet peer reviewed. Citation of Author, Adam Daugherty founder of MeetSmartPeople.com is requested by not required.
A breakthrough has been made in the low cost production of CNF (Cellulose Nano Fibers). It is ready to be scaled up to mass production and is entirely green, requiring the use of no chemicals or solvents. The process works with any plant based material, including low cost wastes such as sawdust, grass clippings, leaf waste, or used cardboard. These materials can be obtained for under 5 cents a pound or less than $115 a ton. “https://resource-recycling.com/recycling/2017/10/10/chinese-actions-tank-us-occ-prices/“
There are 2 production methods covered here, one for lab/household production and one for commercial mass production.
The lab/household method for low volumes is as follows.
Start with raw cellulose containing material. Minimum 30% recommended. Shred materials using blender or a machine like this. “https://m.alibaba.com/product/347682625/Factory-sale-wood-sawdust-chippers-hammer.html?s=p&spm=a2706.amp_showroom”
Add water to shredded material. Press solution through a cloth or paper filter with 200 micron pore size, a coffee filter works. Water will carry particles that are smaller than 200 microns created by the shredding, out of the solution and into your container. Re-dilute solution with more water. Run solution through
.1 or .02 micron filter like Sawer or LifeStraw. “https://sawyer.com/water-filtration”
Solution will now be Cellulose nano fibers with contamination of water, nano hemicellulose, nano lignin, minerals, and possibly dyes. You can evaporate the water with sunlight or by boiling the solution. You can now study the nano mixture or use a multi-step centrifuge process to isolate nanocellulose or other nano components by density. The unrefined mixture should
Have electrical resistance of between 200-1200 ohms for samples under 1 inch. Pure nanocellulose should have electrical resistance less than that of copper, and be cheaper to manufacture, more sustainable, and more ecological friendly. “https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-45232-1_74”
Mass production method.
 Recommended first pore size, 5 mm multi-hole exit plate, then 1 mm, then 200 micron, then 20 micron, then 20 micron with vermiculite places before exit nozzle to create nano fibers under 100 Nm in width. Alternatively you can try to create 100nm sized pores is steel exit plate, but technologies to do so are in infancy and are expensive and slow at drilling through thick pieces of steel. Repeat centrifugal process to isolate nano materials if needed. Applications like reinforced plastics and 2x4’s made of concrete reinforced by cnf’s should not require the centrifugal separation.

An inheritItem is one of:
| (a) id | |
| (b) id in fileName |
The second form is used when the inherit clause is for a separate unit and the imported item is in a file whose name is different from the item's name, for example:
The fileName must be an explicit character string, e.g., "newledg.t". Parentheses are allowed around the item in an inherit clause, as in:
There is a special form of inherit clause, called an implement clause, that is used to separate an interface from an implementation. Modules and monitors, as well as classes, use these clauses. See implement clause and implement by clause.
If class D inherits class C, we say that C is the parent and D is the child. Class B is said to be an ancestor of class D (and D is the descendant of B) if B and D are the same class, or if B is the parent of D, or if B is the parent of the parent of D, etc. We write this as follows:
If B is an ancestor of D but not the same as D, we say B is a strict ancestor of D. We write this as:
We also use the notations D >= B, D > B and D = B with the obvious meanings. All of these notations can be used in a program. Their main use is in conjunction with objectclass, which determines the class of an object located by a pointer. For example, if p is declared to be a pointer to a stack, we can write the following to see if p currently locates an object with the depth operation:
A pointer that locates an object created as class E can be assigned to a pointer to class B, only if B is an ancestor of E. For example, a pointer to an object that is a stackWithDepth can be assigned to a pointer to stack, but not vice versa. The pointer nil can be assigned to any pointer variable, but the value nil(C) can only be assigned to a pointer to an ancestor of C.
An object (located by a pointer) can be assigned to another object only if they were created as objects of the same class. However, assignment of objects that are monitors or that contain dynamic arrays or collections is not allowed.
Circular (recursive) inherits are not allowed. For example, if unit B inherits A then A cannot inherit B. Only one item is allowed in an inherit clause; in other words, Turing supports single inheritance but not multiple inheritance.
See implement clause for a special kind of expansion that separates a module, monitor or class' interface from its implementation. See class for an example of polymorphism, in which an inheriting class overrides subprograms of its parent class.
The initialization of a module, a monitor or an object is immediately preceded by the initialization of the item that it inherits or implements (if any). Correspondingly, if the item has an implement by clause, the implementation is initialized immediately after the initialization of the current item.
Within a class C, with ancestor B, you can force a call to exported subprogram p using the form C.p (or B.p). This calls the subprogram declared in C (or in B in the case of B.p), regardless of the actual class of the object and any overriding of p. This is similar to the notation C::p of the C++ language. This notation can only be used inside class C.
inherit ledger in "newledg.t"
inherit ( ledger in "newledg.t" )
B <= D % B is an ancestor of D
B < D % B is a strict ancestor of D
% Does the object located by p have the depth operation
if stackWithDepth <= objectclass(p) then

We use the “Rainbow” data set as an example in this tutorial. We drag “Rainbow” to the Letters layer, coloring the nucleotide letters in the secondary structure from blue (at the 5’ end) to red (at the 3’ end) of the RNA.
We also drag the data set “Domains” to the Circles layer to place filled circles on each nucleotide, color-coding the RNA by secondary structure domain.
We can also graph “Inter-Nucleotide Contacts” in the 2D panel, which are shown as lines between nucleotides that are close together in 3D space according to various criteria. We will demonstrate this feature by selecting “Base Pair interactions” from the “Interaction Type” menu. Some interaction types can be further characterized into subtypes, so we clear out the “Interaction Sub-Type” menu, and choose, for example, “cis Watson Crick” base pairs, abbreviated as “cWW, cWw, and cwW”. You will see that lines appear between some nucleotides. Each line connects two nucleotides forming a Watson Crick base pair. Note that the “Inter-Nucleotide Contacts” data are independent and cannot be dragged to the “Circles” or “Letters” layers.

sgds-tooltip is-tooltip-*position*
class.
Use the tooltip component when you want to give a brief description of a feature or page element. Information inside the tooltip should be brief and helpful to the user. E.g in a form, tooltip to explain what a certain field does.
Tooltips should never be used for critical or important information to the user. They should also not be used for information that is vital to the user for them to complete a task.
It would be more appropriate to use well formatted hint text instead of tooltips when you want user to fill in critical or important information in a form.

Modals are streamlined, but flexible, dialog prompts with the minimum required functionality and smart defaults.
Open a modal from service
To be able to open modals from service, inject BsModalService to your constructor.
Then, call .show()
method of modal service. Pass a TemplateRef or a component as a first argument and config as a second (optionally).
.show()
method returns an instance of BsModalRef class with .hide()
method and content
property where you'll find a component which you've passed to service
Creating a modal with component just as easy as it is with template. Just pass your component in .show()
method as in example, and don't forget to include your component to entryComponents
of your NgModule
If you passed a component to .show()
you can get access to opened modal by injecting BsModalRef. See example for more info
Nested modals are supported
Modal service events. Modal service exposes 4 events: onShow, onShown, onHide, onHidden. See usage example below.
onHide and onHidden emit dismiss reason. Possible values are backdrop-click
, esc
or null
if modal was closed by direct call of hide()
There are some options that you can configure, like animation, backdrop, closing by Esc button, additional css classes. See the demo below to learn how to configure your modal
Also you can use directive instead of service. See the demos below
Control modal from parent component
Open a modal from another modal
ModalDirective exposes 4 events: OnShow, OnShown, OnHide, OnHidden. See usage example below.
$event
is an instance of ModalDirective. There you may find some useful properties like isShown
, dismissReason
, etc.
For example, you may want to know which one of user's actions caused closing of a modal. Just get the value of dismissReason
,
possible values are backdrop-click
, esc
or null
if modal was closed by direct call of hide()
Show modal right after it has been initialized.
This allows you to keep DOM clean by only appending visible modals to the DOM using *ngIf
directive.
It can also be useful if you want your modal component to perform some initialization operations, but want to defer that until user actually sees modal content. I.e. for a "Select e-mail recipient" modal you might want to defer recipient list loading until the modal is shown.

B-tree node.
| void BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::initialize | ( | bool | isLeaf = true , |
| int | size = 0 |
||
| ) |
Initializes the node.
The value of BNode::offset is initialized as -1 so that we can know whether the node has already been written to the file or not.
This method must always be called upon declaring a BNode if it won't be read through BTree::readFromDisk.
BNode's initialization was implemented as a method rather than a constructor because BNode must be a POD in order to be serialized in the binary file, and POD's can't have constructors.
| isLeaf | True if the node will be a leaf, false if it will be an internal node |
| size | Initial node size |
| bool BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::isFull | ( | ) | const |
Checks if the node has reached its maximum capacity.
| std::unique_ptr< T > BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::seek | ( | const U & | key, |
| BTree & | tree | ||
| ) | const |
Seeks a value that's equivalent to the one provided.
| U | See BTree::seek |
| key | Value to seek |
| tree | BTree to access the file and statistics |
| long BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::children[2 *M+2] |
Node pointers.
Most of the time, the node will only use the first 2M+1
positions of this array. The additional space for 1 value is used temporarily to deal with overflows during BTree::insert.
| bool BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::isLeaf |
True if the node is a leaf, false if it's an internal node.
| long BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::offset |
Disk address.
Ideally, the node before written should have its offset set to -1. Only after its first writing should BNode::offset be set to its disk location.
| std::size_t BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::size |
Quantity of values currently stored in the node.
| T BTree< T, M, BlockSize >::BNode::values[2 *M+1] |
Node values.
Most of the time, the node will only be using the first 2M
positions of this array. The additional space for 1 value is used temporarily to deal with overflows during BTree::insert.

Here I upload my latest projects and thinking. Look around and you should understand more about my personality and perspective. I hope that something here connects with you and/or challenges your thinking in some way.
Health challenges this past year limited my ability to follow creative dreams. These days I feel more capable - physically and mentally. A little pain and struggle helped me to put some priorities in check. I decided one priority is to create more. So here I am.
Quick facts about me:


In edit mode, each elementary discourse unit (EDU) has its text under a line with a number giving its position in the text. Similarly, groups of units have a range of numbers. You can connect nodes, unlink them, and group them together under spans and multinuclear nodes. You can undo and redo actions at any point using the appropriate buttons. Don't forget to save your work!
If a guideline link has been set for the current project, the guidelines button will allow you to access guidelines for your project.
Connections
To connect nodes, drag from the numbers under one unit to the numbers under a target unit
To change the relation between two units, use the drop down list on the connection between them
To unlink a node from the graph, click its button - all of the nodes connected above it will be unlinked
Spans
Use the button to add a span above a node. The span will group together all of the nodes connected to that node
Multinuclear relations
Use the button to create a multinuclear node (multinuc) above a node. The multinuc can have multiple child nodes with the same relation (e.g. a set of items in contrast to each other)
To change the relation of a multinuc to its children, change the relation box of any of its children
When connecting a new node to a multinuc node, it will be added as a multinuc child by default. You can change the relation to a satellite relation by choosing "change to satellite" in the relation box
Signal annotations
To use discourse relation signal annotations, make sure signaling annotation is switched on in the Administration > Database tab
You can use the button next to the relation chooser to open the signal annotation tray and create a new signal annotation
Select a signal type and subtype, then click on any words that should be included in the signal annotation
You can click on signal annotations in the tray to see associated words, or use the Show all signals button

Boris Johnson gets EU immigration figures completely wrong in BBC interview
The Prime Minister was speaking on BBC 5 Live about Brexit and immigration but he badly got his figures wrong when asked by Rachel Burden
by Tom Davidson, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/tom-davidson/Boris Johnson got his figures all wrong when quizzed on migration this morning.
He incorrectly claimed that both EU and non-EU migration are in equal proportion.
It's actually closer to 20/80 EU to non-EU.
The Prime Minster insists that a Conservative government would be able to reduce immigration after Brexit .
Johnson also made clear he had no intention to replicate the numerical targets for immigration set by his predecessors.
The Tory party pledge to get immigration down to 'tens of thousands' has never been met.
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Mr Johnson said he was “in favour of people coming to this country”, but claimed immigration had put public services under pressure.
“It has in some sectors helped to keep our wages down,” he said.
When pressed on the proportion of people coming into the UK – according to the latest official figures – were from within the EU, Mr Johnson said: “Came from within the EU? From memory the total net migration proportions are about 50-50, but I may be wrong about that.”
The presenter Rachel Burden pointed out: “You are wrong about that.“
She continued: “According to the latest official statistics - over 200,000 came from outside the EU according to the 2019 statistics, and around 59,000 within the EU.”
The figures were released earlier this year representing the lowest level of EU net migration to the UK since 2009.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said net migration from outside the EU had risen to its highest level in 15 years in the same period.
Earlier on Friday, Mr Johnson told BBC Breakfast: “I do think myself we’ve been running very high rates of immigration for a long time.
“I’m a pro-immigration politician. I think immigration can be a wonderful thing.
“I happen to think the rates you’re talking about have been very high and what we will be able to do once we come out of the EU, in January, is we will be able to take control of our borders.”
He continued: “When it comes to unskilled immigration, for people who don’t have a job to come to, we will get the numbers down. Overall, as a result, it will be lower. I can’t give you a figure.
“If you forgive me I’m not going to get into a numbers game.
"People have got into plenty of difficulty of satisfying those particular targets.”


P2 Exercise 1 - Introduction¶
Note
Practice 2 is optional.  But its way more challenging and hence fun
In this practice we are going to turn the difficulty up a notch and switch the simulation environment and the programming language. The simulation itself is based on Webots simulator that is hosted on robotbenchmark.net (see figure 1). The programming is done via Python programming language. Robotbenchmark has created a list of challenges, where the fist two (“Viewpoint Control” and “Robot Programming”) just introduce the environment. So let’s have a look.
Before we dive right in, make sure that your web browser is compatible with this simulator. Have a look at this link and check the “Browser Compatibility” section. Next head to robotbenchmark.net. You will see a list of challenges. Go through the “Viewpoint Control” and “Robot Programming”, these introduce you the environment and how to program the robot’s controller.
It might take some time to load the simulation and depending on your hardware, it might not be the smoothest. After the sim is loaded you will see an instructions window in the upper left corner of your screen. Don’t ignore them, as these explain the rules of the challenge and provide some good tips. For example there is a console window, where your controller can print out debugging messages which might provide hepful insight on why yor controller is or is not working.
Warning
For your information, the performance of the simulator will degrade significantly if you print too frequently (for example every controller cycle) in the console
If you want to record your results, then you have to create an account and log in, quite straight forward.

Pixel perfection. Every designer worth its salt strives to make its designs pixel perfect. Unless they’re designing for the web. The web is diverse, fluid, overwhelming, even chaotic. You can browse the web from a tablet, a mobile, on Apple iOS 4 or Android Ice Cream Sandwich, a retina device, an old monitor, using Google Chrome, or Internet Explorer, and so on.
TL;DR: Pixel perfection on the web is nearly impossible.
Yet I challenged myself to try and do it, by redesigning this website.
Pick a grid
I chose to work on a 32px grid. If you’re using Photoshop, go to Preferences [Cmd + K] > Guides, Grids & Slices, and add a Gridline every 32 pixels with Subdivision of 1. To view the grid, go to View > Show > Grid [Cmd + ‘].
Stick to the grid. Every vector icon, image, text, container, needs to adhere to the 32 pixels. To help you out, Photoshop can snap your elements to the grid. To enable it go to View > Snap To, make sure Grid is checked, and enable by going to View > Snap [Shift + Cmd + ;].
When it’s time to code your pixel-perfect website, you can create a 32px x 32px transparent PNG pattern that you can use as a background, to help you out. Create two 1px lines and place them on top and left side of the pattern (example).
A grid of 32px until it isn’t
If you clicked to study this website on the grid, and your browser screen is wider than 1280px, you might have observed that the text doesn’t fit vertically the 32px lines. That’s because the font size of the text is bigger, meaning that the line height is bigger than 32px. Resize your browser a bit to see text fall into place. The same applies to mobile devices (font size is smaller).
Compose to a vertical rhythm
The web consists mostly of text and cat pictures. Leaving cat pictures aside, text needs to be readable. Vertical rhythm refers to the spacing and arrangement of text as the reader descends the page. It is contributed to by three factors: font size, line height and margin or padding.
To improve readability, keep your text length between 50 and 75 characters per line. For body text, the line height should be 1.6x the font size. So for a 20px font size, the line height would be 32px (our grid). Read more on how to compose to a vertical rhythm.
When you measure vertical height with text, always exclude ascenders and descenders, because each type is different. Measure everything from the X-height, which is the height of the body, minus ascenders and descenders. This is equal to the height of the lowercase ‘x’, hence its name.
Retina revolution
I don’t own a retina device. I almost bought one in September 2012, when on the lookout for a new laptop (went for a 13” Air). Retina is the future, and in order to future-proof your pixel-perfect website you need to use SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) when exporting your graphics. By using SVG, you can scale the image infinitely without losing quality and pixelating/blurring the graphic. I wrote in a previous post how to make your website pretty for retina devices.
There is a rule when exporting assets. You use JPG for photographs, and PNG for graphics. By doing that you reduce the file size of the asset. That is because graphics usually consist of large blocks of colour that are displayed more efficiently with PNGs. I say scratch that; use SVG instead of PNG. SVG can reduce the file size even more than PNG.
To demonstrate, see the image before the image above? When exporting a:
- JPG at quality at 60, file size is: 126KB.
- PNG-8 with 16 colours, file size is: 30.43KB.
- SVG with embedded glyphs, file size is: 29KB.
- SVG with system fonts, file size is: 14KB.
In contrast, the image above is 12KB in PNG-8 and 20KB in SVG (embedded glyphs). But for 8KB more, I get to scale the image infinitely.
Did you know: Most images of this blog (and of this post) are SVGs.
Pixel-perfect icons
Creating pixel-perfect icons is not an automated process. In your Photoshop preferences, if you have Snap Vector tools to pixel grid enabled, you might need to disable it in some cases. By disabling this feature, you can move Vector shapes in increments smaller than 1px, the so-called “pixel hinting”. More on pixel hinting.
For production, you can export the icons as SVG and format them into a typeface (for easier scaling and embedding). There’s a cool app that helps you with that, called IcoMoon. That’s the app I used for all the icons you see on this site.
Developing the pixel perfect website
All is well inside Photoshop (or Sketch), but once you switch to the browser, all Hell breaks loose. Some prefer to design purely in the browser. I prefer to use a hybrid method.
It’s easier/faster for me to move elements inside Photoshop. Once I have a rough pixel-perfect layout, I switch to the browser and start coding it. In the browser, it’s not uncommon to change things around, especially if I’m doing responsive layouts.  I’m paranoid about my code and I want to know what every bit of code does what. I can make changes faster this way. Also, using a bootstrap doesn’t allow you to learn how to properly code CSS.
In order to develop a pixel perfect website, you need to know your CSS. I mean really know it. Perfect your CSS coding skills with Treehouse.  Because you need that super fine control, it’s not uncommon to find code like:
.title {
margin: 1px 0 0.55em;
}
And that’s ugly. But it works.
Another important tip is: do not round decimal places. Let the browser do the calculations. If we have a line height of 48px / 36px don’t do this:
h2 {
line-height: 1.333; // [48 / 36 = 1.33333333]
}
Failure in doing so, will result in a not so pixel-perfect website.
Test on actual devices
Forget simulators. Ask your friend if you can borrow his Samsung Galaxy S4 to test your website.  Dust your old devices from the attic and test your website. Build a device lab. The more devices you test, the more pixel-perfect your website will be.
Pick your battles
Accept that you website won’t be pixel-perfect. I made this website pixel-perfect for Google Chrome, iPad, and iPhone, but I decided to not support IE 8. Unless you have an unlimited budget, you cannot make your website pixel-perfect in all browsers. Like I said in the beginning: the web is too diverse. Pick your battles and move on.
