A Valentino haute couture fashion show dazzled spectators in Beijing, China on Thursday with a new collection, tailored by world-famous Italian designer Pierpaolo Piccioli.
The models showed off their attire at a summer palace in the Chinese capital.
Piccioli, inspired by the Rennaissance era, named the collection Daydream, and it's hard to disagree with the title.

Project Mailing Lists
Project resources for members: Index
Mailing lists provide a way for developers and other interested parties to communicate with one another about aspects of a project, and to receive project announcements. In general, the way mailing lists work depends upon the type of project:
Development projects on this site include one or more of the following mailing lists:
You can subscribe or unsubscribe to mailing lists for a particular project by selecting "Mailing Lists" in the Project Resources tool bar.
The Project Mail page includes subscribe/unsubscribe links for either a message-by-message or digest version of the list, as well as options to view each project list's archives.
To begin the subscription process, click on the hyperlinked mailing list address to which you want to subscribe and send the message from your email client.
You should receive a response asking for a confirmation. After you reply as indicated in the email, you will receive an email welcoming you and acknowledging your successful mailing list subscription.
Follow the same process for unsubscribing, but substitute the unsubscribe link.
Once on the Mailing Lists page, you can view the project mailing list archives by clicking on the "view archive" link next to the mailing list title for that list. Click on the date range and subject links to specify the sort of messages you want to see.
All mailing lists associated with the project are listed here. The links on this page allow you to subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the available mailing lists.
Most lists also have a corresponding "digest" version -- if you subscribe to this you receive a single daily email with all of that day's postings.
Project/component mailing list archiving is handled by EyeBrowse, an open source tool that stores and
indexes list messages, providing multiple options for browsing, reading, and
searching mailing list archives via a web browser. Beyond storing messages,
EyeBrowse adds a database and text indexing engine to handle rapid message
search and retrieval.
To view a mailing list's archives, select the Mailing
List
option in the Project Resources tool bar to see a list of all
mailing lists for that project. Click on the View Archive
link next to the list you want to
view. The default view for browsing mailing list archives is by date
summary. Other summary views available are: by Author, by
Subject, and by Thread. You can use the Search Archive link to add filters to
your search criteria. You can enter a search text and choose to sort by
Subject, Author, or Body
by choosing one from the drop down box under the text box. You can
also search text strings of the archived messages using simple Boolean
operators.

Hack 76 Create a Trade Show Demo
I frequently represent NetBSD at trade shows. It's challenging to attract attention because there are many booths at a show—people will walk by quickly unless something catches their eye. You also need to balance eye-candy with functionality so that you can attract and keep a visitor's attention. I needed an enticing demo to run on one of the computers in the booth. I wanted to show off several applications, such as office productivity tools, video, and games, and have music playing, but there's only so much screen real estate. Cramming all of those things on the screen at once would clutter the screen, and the point would be lost. Most X window managers have some concept of virtual desktops, separate work spaces that you can flip between. For example, Enlightenment (pkgsrc/wm/enlightenment) not only has the concept of virtual desktops, but as an added bonus for the trade show environment offers a nice sliding effect as you transition from one desktop to the next. 7.9.1 Introducing eeshNormally in Enlightenment, to switch from one virtual desktop to the next, you move the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen and then push past it, or you use a key sequence to move to an adjacent desktop. For an unattended demo, we need to automate this process. Enlightenment provides an undocumented utility called eesh that can control most aspects of the Enlightenment window manager. You can write scripts to move windows, resize them, or flip between desktops. Note that eesh isn't a friendly utility; it doesn't even produce a prompt when you run it. Type help for the menu or exit to quit: % eesh help Enlightenment IPC Commands Help commands currently available: use "help all" for descriptions of each command use "help <command>" for an individual description actionclass active_network advanced_focus sfa autosave background border button button_show colormod configpanel copyright current_theme tc cursor default_theme dialog_ok dok dock dump_mem_debug exit q focus_mode sf fx general_info geominfo_mode sgm goto_area sa goto_desktop sd group gc group_info gl group_op gop help ? imageclass internal_list il list_class cl list_remember list_themes tl module move_mode smm nop Unfortunately, the eesh utility seems to be untested. It sometimes behaves inconsistently by not accepting commands until you enter them a second time or by withholding output until you press Enter again. As an example, there are actually more commands than those indicated in the help listing. Look in the Enlightenment source's ipc.c file for a complete list. 7.9.2 Discovering CommandsWe'll start our script by making sure that Enlightenment is configured the way we want for our demo. We want six work spaces (3 by 2) to display our programs. Within eesh, try the following commands: num_areas ? Number of Areas: 2 2 help num_areas Enlightenment IPC Commands Help : num_areas (sna) -------------------------------- Change the size of the virtual desktop Use "num_areas <width> <height>" to change the size of the virtual desktop. Example: "num_areas 2 2" makes 2x2 virtual destkops Use "num_areas ?" to retrieve the current setting num_areas 3 2 Now we have the number of areas we want. areas is the Enlightenment name for virtual desktops, since Enlightenment also supports multiple desktops, but that's different. Now we'd like our screen to display the first area, so that the programs our script runs will open there: goto_area 0 0 If your terminal wasn't on the first area, it just moved off the screen. Use the mouse to return to that area. eesh also lets us write commands on the command line with the -e (execute command) flag: % eesh -e "goto_area 0 0" 7.9.3 Sample ScriptsNow we know enough to write a simple demo script: #!/bin/sh eesh -e "num_desks 1" eesh -e "num_areas 3 2" sleep 1 eesh -e "goto_area 0 0" # Configure the default gqmpeg playlist to play your desired music gqmpeg # Show an interesting avi file. xanim -geometry +50x+10 netbsd3.avi & # Give the programs time to start, to make sure they # open on the correct area. # Also, lets people watching see what started up. sleep 3 eesh -e "goto_area 1 0" # Word Processing abiword sampledoc.abw & sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 2 0" # Spreadsheet gnumeric samplesheet.gnumeric & sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 0 1" # A lively game battleball & sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 1 1" # Web Browsing (of a local hierarchy, in case you don't have net # connectivity at a trade show) firebird file://index.html & sleep 3 eesh -e "goto_area 2 1" sleep 1 # Insert your favorite application here # Leave screen back at page 1. eesh -e "goto_area 0 0" When you run the script, the screen will slide around to the various areas and pause a few seconds between program launches. We have most of the things we wanted: music, video, and applications. The next step is to keep it moving. Try the following script: #!/bin/sh while [ 1 ] do eesh -e "goto_area 0 0" sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 1 0" sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 2 0" sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 0 1" sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 1 1" sleep 2 eesh -e "goto_area 2 1" sleep 2 done To stop the moving display, you have to get your keyboard focus into the xterm where the script is running so that you can press Ctrl-c. That can be difficult, but we'll address it shortly. 7.9.4 More Complex ScriptsFor a complex demonstration, you can have different sets of these scripts that visit different sets of areas. You can also change the delay so that complex areas display for a longer period. I also made a script that clears all of the viewing areas. That way, when visitors to the booth play around with the machine, I can easily reset to a clean state and then start the demo again. Since many of the utilities you'll demonstrate don't create .pid files, I find it easiest to use pkill, the "kill process by name" utility. (FreeBSD provides killall.) I'll also leave you with two example scripts that show how to extract information about Enlightenment's current settings for use in a more complex script. The first script is retitle: #!/bin/sh WIN=`eesh -ewait "set_focus ?" | sed 's/^focused: //' ` xterm -geometry 47x7+227+419 -fn -*-courier-*-o-*-*-34-*-*-*-*-*-*-* -e \ /home/david/bin/retitle2 $WIN The second is retitle2: #!/bin/sh WIN=$1 echo "enter new title:" read TITLE eesh -e "win_op $WIN title $TITLE" With these scripts and e16keyedit , you can bind a key combination to change the title of any window. This makes it much easier to keep track of xterms, if you prefer task-oriented titles. Now back to the control issue. When I first wrote this demo, I used a switch wired to a serial port to start and stop the demo so that keyboard focus did not matter. However, wiring switches is more work than configuring software, so I found a better way. The e16keyedit utility, written by Geoff "Mandrake" Harrison and Carsten "Raster" Haitzler (the primary developers of Enlightenment), allows you to bind function keys and Meta keys to run programs or perform the same functions that you can with eesh. Using e16keyedit, you can define function keys to set up the demo, clean up the demo, and start and stop the area rotations. Since the function keys can be bound to work anywhere within Enlightenment, keyboard focus no longer matters. You're ready to give a fantastic demo! e16keyedit is not part of the main Enlightenment distribution.

Algothon
Reloaded is a continuation
of Algothon
which enables you to develop your investment models and submit them to
BlackRock for feedback. We have devised a comprehensive plan to help refine
your investment models. We will be following a phased approach to incrementally
evolve and evaluate different qualities of your model. At each phase we will
ask you to research, show and discuss these qualities.
To ensure this is
as accessible as possible, guidance shall be provided on how to perform the
necessary analysis and improvements and how to present your findings. The
guidance shall include a list of recommended steps, software suggestions and
additional reading.
Phase one simply
requires an explanation of your model hypothesis and an insight in the data you
plan to use. Future phases will focus on topics such as quantifying the
predictive quality of your model. You will learn how to measure this quality,
so you can correctly compare it across models. A hint of what is to come will
be provided with each phase, so you know the direction of progress.
As we progress
through the programme you will learn a repeatable process of evaluating models;
this will enable you to understand how each quality is affected by changes in
the model and provide tools to present your research confidently. During
this program you will keep your model IP, and if you are successful on this
programme it could lead to many opportunities.

Margin, Border, and Padding....oh My!
If you just starting out in html/CSS then you probably ran into the issues of margin, border, padding. As a beginner figuring out the difference may be frustrating at time but fear not! I'm here to show you the way!
So what is the difference between Margin, Border, and Padding?
- Padding property defines the space inside the element content.
- The margin property defines the space around the element outside the border. It is always transparent.
- Border property is used to style the size, color of an element. It is also the separation between Padding and margin. Padding tacks the background color of the element.
For a more visual representation refer to the image below.
In this image, the blue space is the margin, the light green spacing is the padding and the black space is the border. In the next example I try to show what would happen if you expand the padding. Usually when you have element(your content) there would be no padding, borders or margin respresent yet. The only think should would be the content(represented by the white space in the image). If you were add some adding padding to your content, spaces would be created around your content but inside of the border. Refer to the image below if your still having trouble.
As you can see, increasing the right padding of the your content will increase the spacing right of the content. Increasing both top and bottom of the content will expand the space as well. Inc CSS you can expand the left, right, top, down independently or all at once.
In the next example, I'll show you what happens when you increase the margin of your content.
In this image, you can see that the spaces outside of the content and the border is increase if you apply margin into your content. Like padding, you can expand the left, right, top, down independently or all at once.
Alright! I pretty sure you got the hang of it now. In the next example I show you how to use padding and margin when you have two content right next to each other.
In, Example #1, you see two elements with no padding or margin but does have a border.
In example #2, you see that I added padding and margin to both elements. There is now padding around content inside the border.
In example #3, if you were to increase the rigt padding(or "padding-right" in CSS) the space between the content and the border increase but the space between the elements stay the same.
But what would happen if you increase the right margin(margin-right)? In example #4, I did just that. The image shows the element push the other element further apart from the place we I created.
Well hopefully this makes sense. But the best way to learn is do it yourself and see the different that padding, margin, border behaves in your code.
If you see anything in my post that can be improve upon because contact me. I would love to hear what you have to say. Thanks!


Lead
Lead is a known environmental toxin that has been shown to affect
deleteriously the nervous, hematopoietic, endocrine, renal, and reproductive
systems. In young children, lead exposure is a particular hazard because
children more readily absorb lead than do adults, and children’s developing
nervous systems also make them more susceptible to the effects of lead. The
primary sources of exposure for children are lead-laden paint chips and dust as
a result of deteriorating lead-based paint. The risk for lead exposure is
disproportionately higher for children who are poor, non-Hispanic black, living
in large metropolitan areas, or living in older housing. Among adults, the most
common high exposure sources are occupational. Blood lead levels measured in
previous NHANES programs have been the cornerstone of lead exposure surveillance
in the U.S. The data have been used to document the burden and dramatic decline
of elevated blood lead levels, to promote the reduction of lead use, and to help
to redefine national lead poisoning prevention guidelines, standards, and
abatement activities.
Cadmium
A cadmium assay is performed to identify cases of cadmium toxicity.
Occupational exposure is the most common cause of elevated cadmium levels.
Manganese
The greatest demand for manganese is for the production of iron and steel. In
addition, it is a key component of low-cost stainless steel and certain aluminum
alloys. At low concentrations, it is used to decolorize glass, while at higher
concentrations; it is used to make violet-colored glass.  Potassium permanganate is a potent oxidizer and disinfectant.
Manganese (in the form of manganese ions) is an essential trace nutrient in all
known forms of life. On the other hand, excess manganese is toxic.
Total Mercury
Uncertainties exist regarding levels of exposure to methyl mercury from fish
consumption and potential health effects resulting from this exposure. Past
estimates of exposure to methyl mercury have been obtained from results of food
consumption surveys and measures of methyl mercury in fish. Measures of a
biomarker of exposure are needed for improved exposure assessments. Blood
mercury levels will be assessed in two subpopulations particularly vulnerable to
the health effects from mercury exposure: children 1-5 years old and women of
childbearing age. Blood measures of total and inorganic mercury will be
important for evaluation of exposure from exposure to mercury in interior latex
paints.
Selenium
Selenium salts are toxic in large amounts, but trace amounts are necessary for cellular function in many organisms, including all animals. Selenium is a component of the antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and thioredoxin reductase (which indirectly reduce certain oxidized molecules in animals and some plants). It is also found in three deiodinase enzymes, which convert one thyroid hormone to another. Selenium requirements in plants differ by species, with some plants requiring relatively large amounts, and others apparently requiring none.
All examined participants aged 1-11 years old, and a one-half sample from participants aged 12 years and older were eligible.
This method directly measures lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), total mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn) and selenium (Se) content of whole blood specimens using mass spectrometry after a simple dilution sample preparation step.
During the sample dilution step, a small volume of whole blood is extracted
from a larger whole blood patient specimen after the entire specimen is mixed
(vortexed) to create a uniform distribution of cellular components. This mixing
step is important because some metals (e.g., Pb) are known to be associated
mostly with the red blood cells in the specimen and a uniform distribution of
this cellular material must be produced before a small volume extracted from the
larger specimen will accurately reflect the average metal concentration of all
fractions of the larger specimen. Coagulation is the process in which blood
forms solid clots from its cellular components. If steps are not taken to
prevent this process from occurring, i.e., addition of anti-coagulant reagents
such as EDTA in the blood collection tube prior to blood collection, blood will
immediately begin to form clots once leaving the body and entering the tube.
These clots prevent the uniform distribution of cellular material in the blood
specimen even after rigorous mixing, making a representative sub-sample of the
larger specimen unattainable. It is important that prior to or during sample
preparation the analyst identify any sample having clots or micro-clots (small
clots). Clotted samples are not analyzed by this method due to the inhomogeneity
concerns (i.e., all results for the sample are processed as “not reportable”).
Dilution of the blood in the sample preparation step prior to analysis is a
simple dilution of 1 part sample + 1 part water + 48 parts diluent. The effects
of the chemicals in the diluent are to release metals bound to red blood cells
making them available for ionization, reduce ionization suppression by the
biological matrix, prevent clogging of the sample introduction system pathways
by undissolved biological solids, and allow introduction of internal standards
to be utilized in the analysis step. Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH, 0.4%
v/v) and Triton X-100TM (0.05%) in the sample diluent solubilizes blood
components. Triton X-100TM also helps prevent biological deposits on internal
surfaces of the instrument’s sample introduction system and reduce collection of
air bubbles in sample transport tubing. Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate
(APDC) in the sample diluent (0.01%) aids in solubilizing metals released from
the biological matrix. Ethyl alcohol in the sample diluent (1%) aids solubility
of blood components and aids in aerosol generation by reduction of the surface
tension of the solution. The internal standards, rhodium, iridium, and
tellurium, are at a constant concentration in all blanks, calibrators, QC, and
samples. Monitoring the instrument signal ratio of a metal to its internal
standard allows correction for instrument noise and drift, and sample-to-sample
matrix differences.
Liquid samples are introduced into the mass spectrometer through the
inductively coupled plasma (ICP) ionization source. The liquid diluted blood
sample is forced through a nebulizer, which converts the bulk liquid into small
droplets in an argon aerosol. The smaller droplets from the aerosol are
selectively passed through the spray chamber by a flowing argon stream into the
ICP. By coupling radio-frequency power into flowing argon, plasma is created in
which the predominant species are positive argon ions and electrons and has a
temperature of 6000-8000 K. The small aerosol droplets pass through a region of
the plasma and the thermal energy vaporizes the liquid droplets, atomizes the
molecules of the sample and then ionizes the atoms. The ions, along with the
argon, enter the mass spectrometer through an interface that separates the ICP
(at atmospheric pressure, ~760 torr) from the mass spectrometer (operating at a
pressure of 10-5 torr). The ions first pass through a focusing region, then the
dynamic reaction cell (DRC), the quadrupole mass filter, and finally are
selectively counted in rapid sequence at the detector allowing individual
isotopes of an element to be determined.
Generally, the DRC operates in one of two modes. In ‘vented’ (or ‘standard’)
mode the cell is not pressurized and ions pass through the cell to the
quadrupole mass filter unaffected. In ‘DRC’ mode, the cell is pressurized with a
gas for the purpose of causing collisions and/or reactions between the fill gas
and the incoming ions. In general, collisions or reactions with the incoming
ions selectively occur to either eliminate an interfering ion, change the ion of
interest to a new mass, which is free from interference, or collisions between
ions in the beam and the DRC gas can focus the ion beam to the middle of the
cell and increase the ion signal. In this method, the instrument is operated in
DRC mode when analyzing for manganese, mercury, and selenium. For selenium, the
DRC is pressurized with methane gas (CH4, 99.999%) which reduces the signal from
40Ar2+ while allowing the 80Se+ ions to pass relatively unaffected through the
DRC on toward the analytical quadrupole and detector. Manganese and mercury are
both measured when the DRC is pressurized with oxygen gas (O2, 99.999%). They
are analyzed at the same flow rate of oxygen to the DRC cell to avoid
lengthening analysis time due to pause delays that would be necessary if
different gas flows were used for the two analytes. The oxygen reduces the ion
signal from several interfering ions (37Cl18O+, 40Ar15N+, 38Ar16O1H+, 54Fe1H+)
while allowing the Mn+ ion stream to pass relatively unaffected through the DRC
on toward the analytical quadrupole and detector. In the case of mercury,
collisional focusing of the mercury ions occurs, increasing the observed mercury
signal at the detector by approximately a factor of two (2x).
Once ions pass through the DRC cell and electrically selected for passage
through the analytical quadrupole, electrical signals resulting from the ions
striking the discrete dynode detector are processed into digital information
that is used to indicate the intensity of the ions. The intensity of ions
detected while aspirating an unknown sample is correlated to an elemental
concentration through comparison of the analyte: internal standard signal ratio
with that obtained when aspirating calibration standards. This method was
originally based on the method by Lutz (Lutz et al., 1991). The DRC portions of
the method are based on work published by Tanner (Tanner, et al. 1999; 2002).
Refer to the Laboratory Method Files section for a detailed description of
the laboratory methods used.
There were no changes to lab methods, lab equipment or lab site for this
component for the 2015-2016 cycle.
Cadmium, Lead, Manganese, Mercury, and Selenium Lab Procedure Manual (January 2018)
Whole blood samples are processed, stored, and shipped to the National Center for Environmental Health, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA for analysis.
Detailed instructions on specimen collection and processing are discussed in the NHANES Laboratory Procedures Manual (LPM). Vials are stored under appropriate frozen (–30°C) conditions until they are shipped to National Center for Environmental Health for testing.
The NHANES quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) protocols meet the 1988 Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act mandates. Detailed QA/QC instructions are discussed in the NHANES LPM.
Mobile Examination Centers (MECs)
Laboratory team performance is monitored using several techniques. NCHS and
contract consultants use a structured competency assessment evaluation during
visits to evaluate both the quality of the laboratory work and the
quality-control procedures. Each laboratory staff member is observed for
equipment operation, specimen collection and preparation; testing procedures and
constructive feedback are given to each staff member. Formal retraining sessions
are conducted annually to ensure that required skill levels were maintained.
Analytical Laboratories
NHANES uses several methods to monitor the quality of the analyses performed
by the contract laboratories. In the MEC, these methods include performing blind
split samples collected on “dry run” sessions. In addition, contract
laboratories randomly perform repeat testing on 2% of all specimens.
NCHS developed and distributed a quality control protocol for all the contract
laboratories, which outlined the use of Westgard rules (Westgard et al., 1981)
when running NHANES specimens. Progress reports containing any problems
encountered during shipping or receipt of specimens, summary statistics for each
control pool, QC graphs, instrument calibration, reagents, and any special
considerations are submitted to NCHS quarterly. The reports are reviewed for
trends or shifts in the data. The laboratories are required to explain any
identified areas of concern.
All QC procedures recommended by the
manufacturers were followed. Reported results for all assays meet the Division
of Environmental Health Laboratory Sciences quality control and quality
assurance performance criteria for accuracy and precision, similar to the
Westgard rules (Caudill, et al., 2008).
The data were reviewed. Incomplete data or improbable values were sent to the performing laboratory for confirmation.
Five additional variables were created for this data file. The formula for their creation is as follows:
• The cadmium in µg/L was converted to nmol/L by multiplying by 8.897.
•
The lead in µg/dL was converted to µmol/L by multiplying by 0.0483.
• The
manganese in µg/L was converted to nmol/L by multiplying by 18.202.
• The
selenium in µg/L was converted to µmol/L by multiplying by 0.0127.
• The
mercury in µg/L was converted to nmol/L by multiplying by 4.99.

The appropriate sample weights are provided in the variable WTSH2YR in this data file for all participants and should be used when analyzing these data.
The analytes included in this dataset were measured for all examined participants aged 1-11 years, and in a one-half subsample of participants 12 years and older. For participants aged 1-11 years their WTSH2YR are equivalent to their MEC exam sample weights. These 1-11 years old participants have completed at least one physical exam component in the MEC; therefore, they all have an exam sample weight larger than “0,” regardless of their lab test results. For participants 12 years and older, special sample weights were created for the subsample. These special weights accounted for the additional probability of selection into the subsample, as well as the additional nonresponse to these lab tests. Therefore, if a participant 12 years and older was selected as part of the one-half subsample, but did not provide a blood specimen, he/she would have the sample weight value assigned as “0” in his/her record.
Demographic and Other Related Variables
The analysis of NHANES laboratory data must be conducted using the
appropriate survey design and demographic variables. The NHANES
2015-2016 Demographics File contains demographic data, health indicators,
and other related information collected during household interviews as well as
the sample design variables. The recommended procedure for variance estimation
requires use of stratum and PSU variables (SDMVSTRA and SDMVPSU, respectively)
in the demographic data file.
The Fasting Questionnaire File includes auxiliary information, such as fasting status, length of fast and the time of venipuncture.
This laboratory data file can be linked to the other NHANES data files using
the unique survey participant identifier (i.e., SEQN).
Detection Limits
The detection limits were constant for all of the analytes in the data set.
Two variables are provided for each of these analytes. The variable name ending
in “LC” (ex., LBDBCDLC) indicates whether the result was below the limit of
detection: the value “0” means that the result was at or above the limit of
detection, “1” indicates that the result was below the limit of detection. For
analytes with analytic results below the lower limit of detection (ex.
LBDBCDLC=1), an imputed fill value was placed in the analyte results field. This
value is the lower limit of detection divided by the square root of 2
(LLOD/sqrt[2]). The other variable prefixed URX (ex., LBXBCD) provides the
analytic result for the analyte.
The lower limit of detection (LLOD, in
µg/L) for cadmium, manganese, total mercury and selenium, and (LLOD, in ug/dL)
for lead:
| Variable Name | SAS Label | LLOD |
|---|---|---|
| LBXBCD | Cadmium, blood | 0.1 |
| LBXBPB | Lead, blood | 0.07 |
| LBXMN | Manganese, blood | 0.99 |
| LBXTHG | Mercury, total, blood | 0.28 |
| LBXBSE | Selenium, blood | 24.48 |
Please refer to the NHANES Analytic Guidelines and the on-line NHANES Tutorial for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues.

The Beginning of The End
We started final projects today! Lots of user stories, schemas, and wireframing. Before the end of the day, we're looking to have our models and migrations done, and possibly our controller - but that may be optimistic. It took us a while to come to full agreement on all aspects of our app, but now that we have I think the process will be much smoother than it would have been otherwise. What's that - what app are we building, you ask? Why, let me tell you!
House Rules
Our app is going to facilitate how you interact with your roommates. We brainstormed a lot of problems that we have faced in our own lives when living with roommates and tried to think of how an app could solve most of these problems. It's always awkward to text someone to remind them that they owe you money. It would also be nice to be able to see all of the bills associated with the apartment in one convenient place. In my apartment right now, we have an "Inventory List" of communal household items including toilet paper, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, etc. - our app can keep track of who's turn it is to buy a specific item. Our list ended up being fairly long, so many ideas were iceboxed, but our final app should include:
- Create an account and log in
- See lease and landlord contact information
- Post text and pictures to the "fridge" (ie. like a main Slack channel between roommates)
- Log of how much I owe my roommates and for what
- Customize how rent is split among roommates
- View all bills associated with the house and see if the current bill has been paid
- Automatic reminder sent if a roommate owes someone money and they haven't paid in 5 days
- CRUD house rules, including approval between all roommates
- CRUD inventory, and see what items are in-stock, low-stock, and out-of-stock
- CRUD house chores, and send reminder to a roommate if they haven't completed a certain chore in a while
As far as technologies, we are using a PostgreSQL database, Ruby for back-end, and React.js for front-end. We'll also be utilizing the Splitwise and Boxcar APIs. This isn't a final list by any means, but this is where we are at as of right now. I can't believe we will have our final project completed in only 7 days! Wish us luck!
If you have any questions or comments, please send me either an email or a tweet. Happy coding!

Route TestKit
One of Akka HTTP's design goals is good testability of the created services. For services built with the Routing DSL Akka HTTP provides a dedicated testkit that makes efficient testing of route logic easy and convenient. This "route test DSL" is made available with the akka-http-testkit module. To use it include the following dependency:
"com.typesafe.akka" %% "akka-http-testkit" % "2.4.11"
Usage
Here is an example of what a simple test with the routing testkit might look like (using the built-in support for scalatest):
import org.scalatest.{ Matchers, WordSpec }
import akka.http.scaladsl.model.StatusCodes
import akka.http.scaladsl.testkit.ScalatestRouteTest
import akka.http.scaladsl.server._
import Directives._
class FullTestKitExampleSpec extends WordSpec with Matchers with ScalatestRouteTest {
val smallRoute =
get {
pathSingleSlash {
complete {
"Captain on the bridge!"
}
} ~
path("ping") {
complete("PONG!")
}
}
"The service" should {
"return a greeting for GET requests to the root path" in {
// tests:
Get() ~> smallRoute ~> check {
responseAs[String] shouldEqual "Captain on the bridge!"
}
}
"return a 'PONG!' response for GET requests to /ping" in {
// tests:
Get("/ping") ~> smallRoute ~> check {
responseAs[String] shouldEqual "PONG!"
}
}
"leave GET requests to other paths unhandled" in {
// tests:
Get("/kermit") ~> smallRoute ~> check {
handled shouldBe false
}
}
"return a MethodNotAllowed error for PUT requests to the root path" in {
// tests:
Put() ~> Route.seal(smallRoute) ~> check {
status === StatusCodes.MethodNotAllowed
responseAs[String] shouldEqual "HTTP method not allowed, supported methods: GET"
}
}
}
}
The basic structure of a test built with the testkit is this (expression placeholder in all-caps):
REQUEST ~> ROUTE ~> check {
ASSERTIONS
}
In this template REQUEST is an expression evaluating to an HttpRequest instance. In most cases your test will, in one way or another, extend from RouteTest which itself mixes in the akka.http.scaladsl.client.RequestBuilding trait, which gives you a concise and convenient way of constructing test requests. [1]
ROUTE is an expression evaluating to a Route. You can specify one inline or simply refer to the route structure defined in your service.
The final element of the ~> chain is a check call, which takes a block of assertions as parameter. In this block you define your requirements onto the result produced by your route after having processed the given request. Typically you use one of the defined "inspectors" to retrieve a particular element of the routes response and express assertions against it using the test DSL provided by your test framework. For example, with scalatest, in order to verify that your route responds to the request with a status 200 response, you'd use the status inspector and express an assertion like this:
status shouldEqual 200
The following inspectors are defined:
| Inspector | Description |
|---|---|
| charset: HttpCharset | Identical to contentType.charset |
| chunks: Seq[HttpEntity.ChunkStreamPart] | Returns the entity chunks produced by the route. If the entity is not chunked returns Nil. |
| closingExtension: String | Returns chunk extensions the route produced with its last response chunk. If the response entity is unchunked returns the empty string. |
| contentType: ContentType | Identical to responseEntity.contentType |
| definedCharset: Option[HttpCharset] | Identical to contentType.definedCharset |
| entityAs[T :FromEntityUnmarshaller]: T | Unmarshals the response entity using the in-scope FromEntityUnmarshaller for the given type. Any errors in the process trigger a test failure. |
| handled: Boolean | Indicates whether the route produced an HttpResponse for the request. If the route rejected the request handled evaluates to false. |
| header(name: String): Option[HttpHeader] | Returns the response header with the given name or None if no such header is present in the response. |
| header[T <: HttpHeader]: Option[T] | Identical to response.header[T] |
| headers: Seq[HttpHeader] | Identical to response.headers |
| mediaType: MediaType | Identical to contentType.mediaType |
| rejection: Rejection | The rejection produced by the route. If the route did not produce exactly one rejection a test failure is triggered. |
| rejections: Seq[Rejection] | The rejections produced by the route. If the route did not reject the request a test failure is triggered. |
| response: HttpResponse | The HttpResponse returned by the route. If the route did not return an HttpResponse instance (e.g. because it rejected the request) a test failure is triggered. |
| responseAs[T: FromResponseUnmarshaller]: T | Unmarshals the response entity using the in-scope FromResponseUnmarshaller for the given type. Any errors in the process trigger a test failure. |
| responseEntity: HttpEntity | Returns the response entity. |
| status: StatusCode | Identical to response.status |
| trailer: Seq[HttpHeader] | Returns the list of trailer headers the route produced with its last chunk. If the response entity is unchunked returns Nil. |
| [1] | If the request URI is relative it will be made absolute using an implicitly available instance of DefaultHostInfo whose value is "http://example.com" by default. This mirrors the behavior of akka-http-core which always produces absolute URIs for incoming request based on the request URI and the Host-header of the request. You can customize this behavior by bringing a custom instance of DefaultHostInfo into scope. |
Sealing Routes
The section above describes how to test a "regular" branch of your route structure, which reacts to incoming requests with HTTP response parts or rejections. Sometimes, however, you will want to verify that your service also translates Rejections to HTTP responses in the way you expect.
You do this by wrapping your route with the akka.http.scaladsl.server.Route.seal. The seal wrapper applies the logic of the in-scope ExceptionHandler and RejectionHandler to all exceptions and rejections coming back from the route, and translates them to the respective HttpResponse.
Examples
A great pool of examples are the tests for all the predefined directives in Akka HTTP. They can be found here.

MNE-Python provides different parametric and
and non-parametric statistics in mne.stats
which are specially designed
for analyzing mass-univariate hypotheses on neuroimaging data.
mne.stats.linear_regression()
allows to compute ordinary least square
regressions on multiple targets, e.g., sensors, time points across trials
(samples). For each regressor it returns the beta values, t-staistics, and
uncorrected significance values. While it can be used as a test it is
particularly useful to compute weighted averages.mne.stats.f_mway_rm()
computes a generalized M-way repeated
measures ANOVA for balancd designs. It returns mass-univariate F-statistics
and p-valus. The associated helper function
mne.stats.f_threshold_mway_rm()
allows to determine the F-threshold
at a given significance level and set of degrees of freedom. Note that
this set of functions was previously called mne.stats.f_twoway_rm and
mne.stats.f_threshold_twoway_rm, respectively, only supporting 2-way
factorial designs.mne.stats.ttest_1samp_no_p()
is an optimized version of the one sample
t-test provided by scipy. It is used by default for contrast enhancement in
mne.stats.permutation_cluster_1samp_test()
and
mne.stats.spatio_temporal_cluster_1samp_test()
.mne.stats.f_oneway()
is an optimized version of the F-test
for independent samples provided by scipy.
It can be used in the context of non-paramteric permutation tests to
compute various F-contrasts. It is used by default for contrast enhancement in
mne.stats.spatio_temporal_cluster_test()
and
mne.stats.permutation_cluster_test()
.In MEG and EEG analyses typically involve multiple measurements (sensors, time points) for each sample. In a mass-univariate analysis fitting statistical models for each of these observations a multiple comparison problem occurs (MCPP). MNE-Python provides the following functions to control for multiple comparison:
mne.stats.bonferroni_correction()
returns a boolean mask of rejection
decisions and the corrected p-values. The Bonferroni correction reflects the
most conservative choice and corrects for the MCPP by multiplying the
p-values by the number of observationsmne.stats.fdr_correction()
implements False discovery rate (FDR) and
also returns a boolean mask of rejection decisions and the corrected p-values.More flexible handling of the MCPP can be achieved by non-parametric statistics.
As MEG and EEG data are subject to considerable spatiotemporal correlation the assumption of independence between observations is hard to justify. As a consequence the MCPP is overestimated when employing paramteric mass-univariate statistics. A flexble alternative is given by non-parametric permutation clustering statistics which implement a spatiotemporal priors and typically allow for clusterwise inference. These tests can be applied over a wide range of situations inclduing single subject and group analyses in time, space and frequency. The only requirement is that the scientific hypothesis can be mapped onto an exchangeability null hypothesis in which two or more conditions can be compared and exchanged across permutations to generate an empirical distribution.
The clustering permutation API in MNE-Python is grouped according to different contrasts of interest and clustering connectivity prior, i.e., assumptions about the grouping and neighborhood of the observations.
mne.stats.permutation_cluster_1samp_test()
supports paired contrasts with spatial prior.mne.stats.permutation_cluster_test()
supports F-contrasts with spatial prior.mne.stats.spatio_temporal_cluster_1samp_test()
supports paired contrasts without spatial prior.mne.stats.spatio_temporal_cluster_test()
supports F-contrasts without spatial prior.Using the TFCE option observation- instead of cluster-wise hypothesis testing can be realized.
Note
Note that the permutation clustering functions do not constitute thresholding to paramterical tests. Although using F-tests and t-tests internally for contrast enhancement, the actual test statistic is the cluster size.
Note
Unless TFCE is used, the hypotheses tested are cluster-wise. This means that no inference is provided for individual time points, sensors, dipole locations or frequencies in such a cluster.

We are in the process of writing a book on Mathematics for Machine Learning that motivates people to learn mathematical concepts. The book is not intended to cover advanced machine learning techniques because there are already plenty of books doing this. Instead, we aim to provide the necessary mathematical skills to read those other books.
We split the book into two parts:
We aim to keep this book fairly short (tried for 300 pages, now close to 400 pages), so we don’t cover everything.
We will keep PDFs of this book freely available after publication.

An international team of astronomers has discovered an exotic young planet that is not orbiting a star. This free-floating planet, dubbed PSO J318.5-22, is just 80 light-years away from Earth and has a mass only six times that of Jupiter. The planet formed a mere 12 million years ago—a newborn in planet lifetimes.
It was identified from its faint and unique heat signature by the Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) wide-field survey telescope on Haleakala, Maui. Follow-up observations using other telescopes in Hawaii show that it has properties similar to those of gas-giant planets found orbiting around young stars. And yet PSO J318.5-22 is all by itself, without a host star.

its trying to spend spent utxos.
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴02-Apr-19 02:02 PM
advantage to a new key, I guess I missed that fun
blackjok3r02-Apr-19 02:02 PM
I added rescan from height to importprivkey so from now on... we can just resync with no key then import keys manually with only a 10,000 block scan.
should ahve done it ages ago took 15mins
CMaurice02-Apr-19 03:05 PM
Gave wallet a go manually but didn't work error code: -28
error message:
Loading block index...
Not sure if everyone is on the very latest.. but it should be ok. I will add another chain today in CFEKNK cluster
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 03:03 AM
While waiting for this chain to get to 200 notas. I am adding a function in iguana'scoinadd that will check each wallet to make sure all the utxos are unspent. This will prevent the issue that CrisF and CMaurice are having.
With the new rescan it should be quite easy to fix the issue. So simply preventing iguana from notarizing if the wallet is full of spent utxos seems a reasonable solution.
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 05:44 AM
Thanks to @CrisF giving me his deaded wallet.dat... I have an update to iguana ready to go.
It now pulls a listunspent on each coin as it adds them then loops gettxout on each utxo. If there are utxos in the wallet that are spent iguana will just exit.
This only prevents someone breaking notarizations by accident. But its better than not having it. Only calls on load, It lists all the spent utxo in the wallet then just exits. Requires manually fixing the issue with the height rescan I made yesterday. We will need some documentation for this so people know what to do. But it works fine.(edited)

Ok its working sweet @CMaurice any chance you can update and tell me what happens? If you do any I'm not here DM me the result and ask CrisF about how to fix it.
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:15 AM
Starting now
Got stuck at [KMD] : Waiting for KMD daemon to start...
CHMEX03-Apr-19 07:19 AM
it will take a while to start
maybe 5-10 minutes depending on the system
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 07:20 AM
Yeah mine takes nearly 15mins to start KMD
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:21 AM
Not used to that, will come back in a few...
1
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 07:23 AM
I think you will need to scroll up quite a lot... when iguana exits it caues the scripts to error out like crazy.. Might need to fix that so they exit gracefully...
If you need to just pastebin the whole thing.
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:25 AM
Building iguana
Already up-to-date.

CHMEX03-Apr-19 07:26 AM
great almost there
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:27 AM
Seems to be up fine
Not much in the way of activity though
ticking along a bit, no notarisatioins yet
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 07:37 AM
hmm really?
Your node was spamming spent utxos into the notarizations...
I loaded CrisFs wallet on my node and ran the new iguana and it exited saying the wallet had 82 spent utxo in it...
maybe I messed it up when I cleaned the code up
Any chance you can log the ouptut of iguana and send it to me after starting?
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:38 AM
yep, having a look...
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 07:39 AM
It should be printing [KMD] txid.(<atxid>) vout.(0) is spent or something like that
just after adding the KMD coin
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:44 AM
can't see anything like that in debug.log
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 07:45 AM
no its in the iguana stdout
the terminal where you do start.sh
CMaurice03-Apr-19 07:47 AM
nope, can't see "is spent" anywhere
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 07:51 AM
lol ok... I wil monitor the -26 here and see if your node comes up again, if it does tere is another problem(edited)
maye you already fixed it...
If it keeps happenig I will need to make some kind of node banner that kick you
[KMD] : txid.(9b13b3c3dca20069506e361982d424f0ce3fe1864dfa0d5ddab0180ccd0cd6ba) vout.(16) is spent!
is the exact output that Cris's wallet was generating
[KMD] has 83 spent transactions in its wallet.dat, please fix this issue and restart.
then it prints this, and exits iguana... or it should... If the wallet is not full of spent tx then it starts as normal.
CMaurice03-Apr-19 08:00 AM
yeah, no... can't see anything like that, but not notarising
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 08:01 AM
I cant actually see any -26 for ages so I think whatever it was is fixed anyway.
Sorry for false alarm. Thanks
Just would have liked to test that on another dead wallet to make sure... but i think its all good.
CMaurice03-Apr-19 08:02 AM
no worries, I am sure my wallet will revert to corrupt when you're not looking
1
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 08:04 AM
hahaha it only happens after a full resync I think
CMaurice03-Apr-19 08:04 AM
welcome to the wallet, it's 150 megs tho
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 08:04 AM
wow lol, Cris was 200MB
CMaurice03-Apr-19 08:04 AM
ok good, reassuring
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 08:05 AM
thats definatly the problem... and the RPC we use doesnt amke it smaller
it just zeros out the space in the file
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 10:27 AM
total notary pay.19899999204 Its nearly there
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 10:44 AM
[CFEKNK] notary pay fund is empty, need to send coins to: REDVp3ox1pbcWYCzySadfHhk8UU3HM4k5x
CrisF03-Apr-19 10:44 AM
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 10:44 AM
1
YES its ALIVE!
or is that dead
CrisF03-Apr-19 10:45 AM
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 10:46 AM
sent 5000 coins to the address next round should continue as normal
1
The RPC is returning true again, so I cant see why not
There is one way it can still notarize and that is is min sigs notaries comment out the check to the RPC from daemon... if this could be a problem it can be added as consensus rule to the chain that those nota are not valid.
I guess that should be tested. I will do it on the next chain, that I launch tomorrow
1
and it ahs another notrization man love it.. such a simple solution nothing can go wrong

While godaddy has never given me any issues in nearly 15 years with web servers, there is no part of me that would ever suggest to anyone using them as a host for servers that actually do shit
1
8G of RAM, not even 4G in use, and memory allocation errors out the ass
not to mention the fact that root access isn't really root and you're not allowed to drop caches

blackjok3r03-Apr-19 12:24 PM
lol
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴03-Apr-19 02:55 PM
so, the ram issues exploded and now I'm locked out of ssh and on im with support
Let me speak with our higher support to further check on your issue, grab some drinks while waiting for me.
blackjok3r03-Apr-19 02:57 PM
Go vist your dady?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴03-Apr-19 02:58 PM
yeah that's who said that
at 9:52, Apr 3:
I'm not able to connect to SSH as well.
Do we have your permission to disable the software firewall on your server for troubleshooting purposes?
You
at 9:52, Apr 3:
yes, but there shouldn't bee one I haven't installed ufw yet
ffs you would think that only giving me pseudo-root, they'd know how to access
SHossain03-Apr-19 03:00 PM
i use GoDaddy only for domains. used their hosting for a year and never again
DO and OVH are better option for that
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴03-Apr-19 03:01 PM
yeah, this is definitely a 1-off for me, but since I already paid for it 5 months ago ...
