Intermediate Photography Class:
This is where I'll post the assignments for my Intermediate Photography Class (DMA 236).
Final Assignment:
Proposal:
For my final project, I'd like to create a time-lapse. I’ll be using both time-lapse and hyper-lapse techniques to put together a cohesive video. This time-lapse embodies my life in covid as I spend a lot of my spare time in the shop since I can’t go out and do anything.
I’ll be creating a foldable table for my laptop, so I can move and improve my current workspace. You’ll be able to watch as I do my project step by step. I’ll move my camera around so you can see from start to finish how I out together my project. I’ve become slightly obsessed with my own diy projects and watching them, so I wanted to combine my love of photography and projects.
Main Assignments:
HDR:
For my HDR assignment, I wanted to embody what I think we're all feeling at the moment. With the stay at home order, everyone is becoming restless and eager to be free again. In an effort to save lives and flatten the curve, we've ended up spending most of our time inside.
A Time to Reflect. In the first photograph, there's a mirror. The mirror displays so little and reflects what's happening now in our lives. We know we need to somehow overcome COVID-19, but the way that's going to happen has so many variables and there are concerns no matter how we go about it. We don't know when life will return to "normal" and what the "new normal" is going to be until then.
Feeling Down but Looking Up. The second photo embodys the feelings we have as a country. We can't hang out with many of the people we love, many of us cannot work and don't know how bills are going to be payed, people fear for their lives and the lives of people they love, I could go on and on. But, everyone's life is being effected in some way. However, as a country we're trying to come together (by staying apart ironically) to figure out the best way to survive the virus and keep the economy from crashing any further. Although we're upset and all struggling in different ways, we have hope as we come together.
Longing for Freedom. The last photograph is supposed to create a longing for the outside world. Longing, for something more than our homes, and quick trips to the grocery store on a "necessity only" basis. It also gives us the feeling of being trapped, but also gives us a view of the outside world that someday we might be apart of again.
Quickies:
Things on the Ground:
For these photographs, I went on an adventure in the small town I grew up in (Brinnon). I went underneath a bridge I had driven over many times before. I found out that day, that underneath the bridge was where all the drug addicts hung out. Thus, the cigarettes, alcohol, and the needle.
Patience:
Here's a time-lapse I put together for my patience assignment. Mainly using Photoshop, Lightroom and Adobe Bridge. It took about an hour and 30 minutes of my camera taking pictures, 350 ish pictures, hours trying to figure out how to put it together, hours of my computer processing images and videos, and I only have 8 seconds of video to show for it! Ha! It was pretty fun though, Enjoy!
Shadows:
I’ve always been intrigued by shadows, so I found this assignment really interesting and fun. I took these photographs on two different days in two different places. The first day I took some photographs at Whitney Gardens in Brinnon (an adorable little nursery. You should go if you ever have time!), and the second day I took pictures of the boardwalk in Poulsbo down by the waterfront.
I have two sets of photographs, with two different feels. The first set are all photographs of shadows and wood. The second set are all photographs of shadows and concreate.
Motion:
For this assignment, I decided to capture the motion of water. I love adventures, and adventures to/at waterfalls are my favorite! When I took these photographs, it was freezing outside which really added a chill to the feeling of the photographs. Although it was a little slippery and my fingers were so red I thought they were going to fall off, I had a blast taking these.
I used many various shutter speeds I used faster shutter speeds to speed make the water appear cold and uninviting. Slower shutter speeds to add a feeling of being in the cold for a long period of time.
Writing Assignments:
Presentation Markets:
Consumer Publications (magazines): When it comes to consumer publications,
you need to do your homework and be well prepared. You should read a few (or many) of the magazine
issues to make sure your photographs will be appropriate for the magazine you’re researching.
After you’ve done your research, you need to write a letter to the publication. You’ll write a detailed
cover letter that will explain why your photographs are appropriate for the magazine and send some of
your work. However, if you have a photo essay you wish to submit, you’ll send in a query letter. A
query letter is around 1 to 1 ½ pages that explains your qualifications for the photo essay, and you’ll
send some jpegs of your photographs. Make sure you find out how the magazine prefers to be contacted.
If you’re written cover letter or query letter goes well, you may land an in-person interview.
Summary: Do your homework, if you’re a good fit, send in a query letter and see if you end up with an in-person interview.
Newspapers: Something to keep in mind with newspapers are the strict deadlines. If you miss a date,
that’s it. There are no do overs, and newspapers aren’t going to publish old news even if your
photograph is a one in a million. When applying to a newspaper, keep in mind that different papers have
different qualifications. Some newspapers still only print in black and white. Newspapers mainly rely
on their staff to provide photographs and stories, so you need to have a solid photograph/s to submit.
If you have a really strong photograph, you will need to negotiate with the newspaper to be payed appropriately
as newspapers don’t pay much. However, major news event images often sell many times, so you want to make
sure you’re being payed well for your work.
Summary: Do you homework, THERE ARE DEADLINES, have a strong photograph, and keep in mind that you may have to negotiate prices.
The book didn’t seem to go over how to apply, but I would check out their website if they have one.
Trade Publications: Trade publications are taken very seriously by both the readers and the editors. To submit photographs
to trade publications, you need to demonstrate knowledge with both your photography and techniques, but also demonstrate
immense knowledge about the subject you’re photographing. Most of the photographs from Trade publications come from stock
images, but if you have skills in the particular area of the trade publication, then you can create a query and get ahold
of someone to see about submitting your images. Most of these publications buy 24 or less images a year for their issues.
Summary: Have serious knowledge on the subject, have a stellar image, and keep in mind your image needs to
be amazing because trade publications don’t use many photographs (typically). To apply, write a query and contact the trade
publication to ask about submission.
Book Publishers: Since publishing markets are so competitive, freelancers need to be flexible.
Photographs for book publishers range from text illustrations, promotional material, images on their websites,
and of course book covers. Book publishers will either buy photographs from stock images a particular photographer
might have or assign a photographer a certain task or thing to photograph. You can submit photographs to a book
publisher by sending a cover letter with some of your photographs (with list prices) and link a website if you have one.
If you’re putting together a photo book, you may need to create a “dummy” book that will look almost identical to the
book you’ll be publishing and send it in to a publisher. As the book says, “It is not always necessary to be well-known
to publish your photographs as a book. What you do need, however, is a unique perspective, a salable idea, and
quality work.” Larger publishers may pay more up front, however, smaller publishers typically risk more and it might be
easier to get your work published.
Summary: There a many different categories for publishing your photographs when it comes to books.
So, do your research and be prepared to write a cover letter, put together price lists or “dummy” books, and
understand the differences between small and large publishing companies.
Greeting Cards, Posters & Related Products: Make sure you do your research before you attempt
to have an industry turn your photographs into a greeting card, poster, etc. After research, you can send in
a query to any of the companies you’re interested in and that’d be a good fit for your work. These kinds of
companies receive so many submissions, that when they receive a query from you that states what’s available vs
some of your photographs. This way, the company will contact you acquiring to what you have available instead
of being overwhelmed with photographs. You will also stand out by being different this way. Note: some
companies require you to submit photographs, and some require a list and no photographs. Be careful when you
sell these photographs to these kinds of companies. They will often pay higher rates, but typically along with
higher rates, they buy all the rights to your images. So, you may want to negotiate with the company to only
hold the copy right for a specific time. Some of these companies work by paying royalties.
Summary: Know how to stand out because it’s very common for photographers to apply to these companies.
Do your research. Understand copy rights and how the company treats copy rights.
 These kinds of companies are very competitive.
List of things that you should know/have before contacting a stock agency:
- Have plenty of images. You need to have way more than you send the agency because if they’re interested, they may want to see more of your work.
- Be ready to send in new images regularly. If you don’t have an enormous photo library or you don’t take photographs all the time, stock agencies might not be for you.
- Organize your work. Make sure your files are marked properly. Mark files in a way that they know what’s contained in each image.
- Research, research, research, and research. Make sure you know about the company you’re going to work for, how they work, how big the agency is, etc.
- Check and see if how the company treats their employees, and how professional they are (or not).
- Once you’ve decided to apply to a stock company, contact them appropriately (usually listed on their website). Write a short cover letter stating you’d like to send in some images. If you hear back from the company, DO NOT SEND YOUR ONLY ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS!! Make sure you send duplicates of your photographs, so that your work is protected. If you send in photographs by mail make sure you include an envelope with a stamp and return address.
- Sales on your photographs can take years, so don’t expect money right away.
These companies can charge many fees (that might be negotiable). Note that some of these companies require that they own exclusive rights to market your photograph (you cannot also market the same photograph). Signing up with a stock agency may also limit your ability to work with other stock agency companies. So, before you sign anything make sure the conditions will work with you and your needs. Make sure you understand the contract before you sign anything, such as when your contract is renewed and how to renew or terminate it.
Summary: Just read the whole thing.
Microstock: These companies are usually willing to work with amateur photographers. They don’t charge their
clients very much, therefore you will not receive very much money each time a photograph is sold.
Examples of microstock companies:
- www.bigstockphoto.com
- www.shutterstock.com
- www.dreamstime.com
- www.istockphoto.com
Summary: Similar to stock photo agencies but they’re more relaxed in many ways, and they work with amateurs. You will not make much money with Microstock (unless you’re a photography wizard).
Advertising, Design & Related Markets: This kind of work is always commercial and your photography is used to sell services or products. In order to do this, you need to make appointments to show your portfolio to art directors. You need to show your buyers that you’re easy to work with, and you’re an amazing photographer. The book didn’t seem to go into detail about how to apply, but I would do a lot of research because each of the topics in this category are very vast.
Galleries: Galleries are not a quick source of income and are more a way of creating a presence as a photographer (or artist). In order to be in a gallery, you need extreme quality work. Galleries typically receive 40-50 percent of the commission. You may also need to be present in the show. Make sure you know the kind of gallery you’re applying to and how the different kinds of galleries work. In general, reflect on the kind of work you do and where that work would best be displayed. Statements you write for you work should be short and sweet. The book did not seem to go over how to apply, but I would guess it ranges/changes from gallery to gallery, and you would probably want to write a query/cover letter and have images ready to give as examples.
Art Fairs: Art fairs are a good way to market to an audience that’s looking to buy expensive pieces of work.
You’ll need to have framed and unframed work. You need to do research first. After you find a fair that’s a good fit for
you, then visit their website and contact the appropriate person to get more details. You’ll equipment to protect your work
(a cover for your area, plastic protective sleeves for your photographs, etc.). In order to apply for an art fair, you might
have to go through a selective process, and some fairs will only allow one display per medium (meaning only one photograph
display, one painting display, etc.). Art fairs almost always charge fees for you to display your work.
Summary: Research the fair, have plenty of framed and unframed work, be prepared for fees, and know that
most fairs have a selection process, so your work needs to really stand out.
Contests: Contests are a good way to discover how your work compares with the work of other photographers. Make sure you pay attention to the rights when you submit your images into a contest. You don’t want to accidentally give away copy rights. You may want to view previous images that have won to scope out what style or image typically wins. Contest very vastly, so do your research.
Chapter 3 Terms:
Flâneur
Flâneur is a word used to describe someone who is detached from society and only wonders about observing the world and never being apart of it. This term dates back as early as the 16th century, but the meaning didn’t take shape until the 19th century. Baudelaire made the term famous by putting it into his essay “The Painter of Modern Life” in the year 1863.
Sontag references this term to explain how photographers interact/perceive the world. Like the Flâneur we find joy in watching the world go by. We see what passes, but never truly experience the world in the same way. Sontag shares how the Flâneur is often attracted to the dark and mysterious places of the world instead of the warm and inviting places everyone seems to know. We seek to observe the unordinary, but we don’t necessarily crave to be apart of it.
Chapter 2 Terms:
Alfred Stieglitz "Camera Work" Alfred Stieglitz "Camera Work" "Camera Work," was a magazine published quarterly by Alfred Stieglitz. His magazine was known because some of the most prominent and important photographers had their images featured. The magazine was being published from the years 1903 to 1917.
Why did Susan Sontag reference "Camera Work," and Alfred Stieglitz? She mentions Stieglitz because he was one of the first photographers who stepped away from the idea that only idealized photographs were beautiful. Stieglitz found beauty in photographs that weren't the typical "Ansel Adams" landscapes or photographs of people etc. Stieglitz featured many of the "abnormal" photographs from photographers that are now famous for their work. Stieglitz would only allow photographs to be published in his magazine if they showed something beautifully artistic and were unique, and he would take photographs from someone regardless of their education (when it came to photography I'm assuming). Some of the photographs featured in "Camera Work," were taken by James Craig Annan, Clarence White, Fredrick Evans, Edward Steichen, Frank Eugene, and Alvin Langdon Coburn
Goy:
Goy is a term used by Jews for non Jews.
Chapter 1 Terms:
Lecia is a camera company that was founded in Germany during the year 1914.  In the book, “On Photography,” Susan Sontag references Lecia to discuss how photography has become an “equalizer” for every and anything you could think of. Page 11 in, “On Photography.”
Diane Arbus
Diane Arbus 1923-1971, was known for her unsettling photos and unusual subjects. Arbus was appreciated by some for her display of empathy in her photographs. However, she was also disliked for the belief that she turned unfortunate people into objects. Diane Arbus was close and personal with her subjects. Sontag referenced Arbus to explain the strange intimacy of photography. Page 12 in, “On Photography.”
Alfred Hitchcock’s
"Rear Window"
The movie “Rear Window,” is about a news photographer stuck inside his apartment after an accident that puts him in a wheelchair. The news photographer begins watching his neighbors to pass the time, but soon realizes that he might be a witness to murder. Sontag references the “Rear Window,” to explain how photography is a way to observe and interact with life though you’re not participating directly. Though he’s stuck inside his apartment he feels like some part of his neighbor's life even though he never interacts with them, and most of them don’t know he exists. Page 12.

natto-py¶
What is natto-py?¶
A package leveraging FFI (foreign function interface), natto-py
combines
the Python programming language with MeCab, the part-of-speech and
morphological analyzer for the Japanese language. No compiler is necessary, as
it is not a C extension. natto-py
will run on Mac OS, Windows and
*nix.
You can learn more about natto-py at GitHub.
Requirements¶
natto-py
requires the following:
- An existing installation of MeCab 0.996
- A system dictionary, like mecab-ipadic or mecab-jumandic
- cffi 0.8.6 or greater
The following Python versions are supported:
Installation¶
Install natto-py
as you would any other Python package:
$ pip install natto-py
This will automatically install the cffi
package, which natto-py
uses
to bind to the mecab
library.
Automatic Configuration¶
As long as the mecab
(and mecab-config
for *nix and Mac OS)
executables are on your PATH
, natto-py
does not require any explicit
configuration.
- On *nix and Mac OS, it queries
mecab-config
to discover the path to thelibmecab.so
orlibmecab.dylib
, respectively. - On Windows, it queries the Windows Registry to locate the MeCab installation folder.
- In order to convert character encodings to/from Unicode,
natto-py
will examine the charset of themecab
system dictionary.
Explicit configuration via MECAB_PATH and MECAB_CHARSET¶
If natto-py
for some reason cannot locate the mecab
library,
or if it cannot determine the correct charset used internally by
mecab
, then you will need to set the MECAB_PATH
and MECAB_CHARSET
environment variables.
- Set the
MECAB_PATH
environment variable to the exact name/path to yourmecab
library. - Set the
MECAB_CHARSET
environment variable to thecharset
character encoding used by your system dictionary.
e.g., for Mac OS:
export MECAB_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/mecab/0.996/lib/libmecab.dylib
export MECAB_CHARSET=utf8
e.g., for bash on UNIX/Linux:
export MECAB_PATH=/usr/local/lib/libmecab.so
export MECAB_CHARSET=euc-jp
e.g., on Windows:
set MECAB_PATH=C:\Program Files\MeCab\bin\libmecab.dll
set MECAB_CHARSET=shift-jis
e.g., from within a Python program:
import os
os.environ['MECAB_PATH']='/usr/local/lib/libmecab.so'
os.environ['MECAB_CHARSET']='utf-16'
Usage¶
Here’s a very quick guide to using natto-py
.
Instantiate a reference to the mecab
library, and display some details:
from natto import MeCab
nm = MeCab()
print(nm)
# displays details about the MeCab instance
<natto.mecab.MeCab
model=<cdata 'mecab_model_t *' 0x801c16300>,
tagger=<cdata 'mecab_t *' 0x801c17470>,
lattice=<cdata 'mecab_lattice_t *' 0x801c196c0>,
libpath="/usr/local/lib/libmecab.so",
options={},
dicts=[<natto.dictionary.DictionaryInfo
dictionary='mecab_dictionary_info_t *' 0x801c19540>,
filepath="/usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/ipadic/sys.dic",
charset=utf8,
type=0],
version=0.996>
Display details about the mecab
system dictionary used:
sysdic = nm.dicts[0]
print(sysdic)
# displays the MeCab system dictionary info
<natto.dictionary.DictionaryInfo
dictionary='mecab_dictionary_info_t *' 0x801c19540>,
filepath="/usr/local/lib/mecab/dic/ipadic/sys.dic",
charset=utf8,
type=0>
Parse Japanese text and send the MeCab result as a single string to
stdout
:
print(nm.parse('ピンチの時には必ずヒーローが現れる。'))
# MeCab result as a single string

Next, try parsing the text with MeCab node parsing. A generator yielding the MeCabNode instances lets you efficiently iterate over the output without first materializing each and every resulting MeCabNode instance. The MeCabNode instances yielded allow access to more detailed information about each morpheme.
Here we use a Python with-statement to automatically clean up after we
finish node parsing with the MeCab tagger. This is the recommended approach
for using natto-py
in a production environment:
# Use a Python with-statement to ensure mecab_destroy is invoked
#
with MeCab() as nm:
for n in nm.parse('ピンチの時には必ずヒーローが現れる。', as_nodes=True):
... # ignore any end-of-sentence nodes
... if not n.is_eos():
... print('{}\t{}'.format(n.surface, n.cost))
...
ピンチ 3348
の 3722
時 5176
に 5083
は 5305
必ず 7525
ヒーロー 11363
が 10508
現れる 10841
。 7127
MeCab output formatting is extremely flexible and is highly recommended for
any serious natural language processing task. Rather than parsing the MeCab
output as a single, large string, use MeCab’s --node-format
option
(short form -F
) to customize the node’s feature
attribute.
- morpheme surface
- part-of-speech
- part-of-speech ID
- pronunciation
This example formats the node feature
to capture the items above as a
comma-separated value:
# MeCab options used:
#
# -F ... short-form of --node-format
# %m ... morpheme surface
# %f[0] ... part-of-speech
# %h ... part-of-speech id (ipadic)
# %f[8] ... pronunciation
#
with MeCab('-F%m,%f[0],%h,%f[8]') as nm:
for n in nm.parse('ピンチの時には必ずヒーローが現れる。', as_nodes=True):
... # only normal nodes, ignore any end-of-sentence and unknown nodes
... if n.is_nor():
... print(n.feature)
...

が,助詞,13,ガ

Partial parsing (制約付き解析), allows you to pass hints to MeCab on how to tokenize morphemes when parsing. Most useful are boundary constraint parsing and feature constraint parsing.
With boundary constraint parsing, you can specify either a compiled re
regular expression object or a string to tell MeCab where the boundaries of
a morpheme should be. Use the boundary_constraints
keyword. For hints on
tokenization, please see Regular expression operations and re.finditer
in particular.
This example uses the -F
node-format option to customize the resulting
MeCabNode
feature attribute to extract:
%m
- morpheme surface%f[0]
- node part-of-speech%s
- nodestat
status value, 1 isunknown
Note that any such morphemes captured will have node stat
status of 1 (unknown):
import re
with MeCab('-F%m,\s%f[0],\s%s') as nm:
text = '俺は努力したよっ？ お前の10倍、いや100倍1000倍したよっ！'
# capture 10倍, 100倍 and 1000倍 as single parts-of-speech
pattern = re.compile('10+倍')
for n in nm.parse(text, boundary_constraints=pattern, as_nodes=True):
... print(n.feature)

With feature constraint parsing, you can provide instructions to MeCab
on what feature to use for a matching morpheme. Use the
feature_constraints
keyword to pass in a tuple
containing elements
that themselves are tuple
instances with a specific morpheme (str)
and a corresponding feature (str), in order of constraint precedence:
with MeCab('-F%m,\s%f[0],\s%s') as nm:
text = '心の中で3回唱え、 ヒーロー見参！ヒーロー見参！ヒーロー見参！'
# capture ヒーロー見参 as 感動詞 part-of-speech
features = (('ヒーロー見参', '感動詞'),)
for n in nm.parse(text, feature_constraints=features, as_nodes=True):

Americans are well known for food consumption. However, the details behind their habits are not as universally known.
This fall, I will be researching under Professor Sanjib Bhuyan through Rutgers' Aresty Research Program to gain an understanding of American food choices and their effects. The American food industry is a huge machine that is greatly influenced by these choices. This project will answer questions about how they affect food marketing, the federal program SNAP, and the overall economy. Analysis will be conducted with SPSS.

05 Feb 2016In this tutorial series we’ll try to build a social media app with Angular 2.
This application will be like a stripped down Facebook. So there will be a register-/login form, profiles and so on.
The great thing about this app is that we can use all of the core features of Angular2. So lets dive right into it.
If you want to have the same styles as I have, you need to use: bootstrap-paper-css.
Note: Since there are already a lot of really good basic tutorials I may not explain everything.
If you have trouble to follow, feel free to checkout the Angular2 form and Angular2 template syntax guide.
Goal Of This Part
In this part we want to build a form that will look like this: At first we’ll program a little example with Control, Controlgroups and Validators to see how they work. After that we’ll write our own custom controls and validators which will be more efficient for our use case.
The First Field
Before we get to the coding part make sure you have a folder structure like this: The app.component.ts file is pretty straight forward:
import { RegisterComponent } from "./form/register.component";
import { Component } from 'angular2/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app',
directives: [RegisterComponent],
template: `
<register-form></register-form>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
constructor() { }
}
If you don’t know what the bootstrap.ts is, read my Angular2 setup tutorial.
Don’t be scared if you get an error at the moment. Its because we haven’t created the Registercomponent.

As you may have experienced, forms can get really big and intimidating. So lets take a look at a basic register form with only 1 field that behaves similarly to the example above:
import { Component, OnInit } from 'angular2/core';
import { FormBuilder, Validators, ControlGroup } from 'angular2/common';
@Component({
selector: 'register-form',
template: `

<form [ngFormModel]="registerForm"
(ngSubmit)="onSubmit()"
#regForm="ngForm">

Username
<input type=text class="form-control"
placeholder="username"
[ngFormControl]="regForm.form.find('username')">

Username is required

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"
[disabled]="!regForm.form.find('username').valid">Submit</button>
</form>

`
})
export class RegisterComponent implements OnInit {
private registerForm: ControlGroup;
constructor(private _fb: FormBuilder) { }
ngOnInit(): void {
this.registerForm = this._fb.group({
username: ['', Validators.required]
});
}
onSubmit(): void {
console.log('Username: ' + this.registerForm.find('username').value);
}
}
Note: This example only shows 1 field.
HOLY COW that’s a lot of code/template for just 1 field. I’ll promise you that at the end of this tutorial this will look way better,
but for now we leave it as it is and talk a little bit about controls.
How Controls Work
Controls are pretty straight forward in Angular2. You could create a Controlgroup like this:
this.username = new Control("", Validator.required);
this.email = new Control("", Validator.required);
this.password = new Control("", Validator.required);
this.telephone = new Control("", Validator.required);
this.formControl = new ControlGroup({
username: this.username,
email: this.email,
password: this.password,
telephone: this.telephone
});
So what’s happening here? At first we’ve created our Control objects with an empty string and a validator.
The empty string is the initial value of that control.
The second parameter tells us that the field on which the control is applied is required.
For example if you apply the username control on a username input field it would be invalid as long as no username has been entered.
But we don’t want to watch only a single input field, instead we are interested in the whole form.
To achieve that we just wrap the form control around all controls that are important.
Since this is a lot of code we can shorten this a little bit by injecting the formbuilder and use him like this:
constructor(private _fb: FormBuilder) {
this.registerForm = this._fb.group({
username: ['', Validators.required],
email: ['', Validators.required],
telephone: ['', Validators.required],
password: ['', Validators.required]
});
}
This is the equivalent to the code given above.
You want to know a little bit more about this topic? Then go to: Angular2 - Forms
Build Form Field Components
To shorten our register component we want to encapsulate this code:

Username
<input type=text class="form-control"
placeholder="username"
[ngFormControl]="regForm.form.find('username')">

Username is required

And to use that component we want to have code that looks something like this:
<formField name="Username" type="text" required="true" [control]="username"></formField>
That looks nice, does it? Well let’s see how we can achieve that. At first we create a new typescript file under the folder form/field and we call that file Formfield.ts (not the best name but ok for this tutorial). The file will look like this:
import { Component, Input, OnInit } from 'angular2/core';
import { Control } from 'angular2/common';
@Component({
selector: 'formField',
template: `

{{name}}
<input type={{type}} class="form-control"
placeholder="{{name}}"
[ngFormControl]="control">

This field is required.

`
})
export class FormFieldComponent implements OnInit{
@Input() name: string;
@Input() type: string = "text";
@Input() required: boolean;
@Input() control: Control;
ngOnInit(): void {
if(this.required) {
this.name += " *";
}
}
}
Let’s take a little deeper look what each part actually does.

This part will color our input field red as soon as the given control is not valid and the value of the input has changed.
{{name}}
<input type="{{type}}" class="form-control"
placeholder="{{name}}"
[ngFormControl]="control">
Here we’re applying the type(text/email…), which came as an input variable, and the control.
The control is used to validate the field. More on this in the next chapter.
Last but not least we got this snippet:

This field is required.

This will show the red bar right under the input as soon as the user has touched the input field and it is invalid. Wow that was actually pretty easy. Now we can reuse this form field everywhere we want… BUT wait. The error message will always be the same no matter what the actual error actually was. We have to change that. Technically we could provide the error message via an input variable to this component, but this wouldn’t be a good approach, since we have to declare the same error message every time we want to use the same formfield. Furthermore the best approach would be to define our error message within the validator, because he is responsible for the given error. So lets see how we can do this.
Build Custom Validations and Controls
As we’ve seen before, our error message is fix. To get around that we’ll first build a custom validator. This validator will check if our username starts with a letter and has at least 3 characters. We place our formfieldvalidator.service.ts file right under the validation folder.
import { Control } from 'angular2/common';
import { Injectable } from 'angular2/core';
export interface ValidationResult {
message: string;
}
@Injectable()
export class FormFieldValidationService {
constructor() {}
validateUserName(control: Control): ValidationResult {
const startsWithLetter_regex = /^[a-zA-Z]/;
if(!control.value.match(startsWithLetter_regex)) {
return {message: "Username has to start with a letter"};
} else if(control.value.length < 3) {
return {message: "Username must have more than 3 letters"};
} else{
return null;
}
}
}
Ok now I’m pretty sure you have a couple of questions. Why do we need that interface? Firstly we are a little bit more expressive with our expected return. But this doesn’t explain why we are returning an object anyway. Why not a string? Well for that we have to look in the AbstractControl class (the Control class inherits from AbstractControl):
export declare abstract class AbstractControl {
...
errors: {
[key: string]: any;
};
...
As you can see the error field is just a map where each key is a string and the value can be anything. This is important because we can actually override that field and add the desired behavior. So lets do this by creating our custom Control within the form/control folder and call it FormControl.ts :
import { Control } from 'angular2/common';
import { ValidationResult } from '../validation/formvalidator.service';
export class FormControl extends Control {
errors: ValidationResult;
get errorMessage(): string {
if(this.errors != null && this.errors.message != null) {
return this.errors.message;
}
return null;
}
}
Ok, cool. Now our errors will contain of ValidationResults(which are currently only strings). These Results have a message that we access via our getter. Wow that was a lot of stuff and not that easy to understand. If you want you can check my Github repo and take your 10minutes to grasp everything. I’m not sure either if that is best practice but I’m actually pretty satisfied with the result. If we put everything together our final register form looks like this:
import { FormControl } from "./contol/FormControl";
import { FormFieldComponent } from "./field/formfield.component";
import { Component, OnInit } from 'angular2/core';
import { ControlGroup } from 'angular2/common';
import { FormFieldValidationService } from './validation/formvalidator.service';
@Component({
selector: 'register-form',
directives: [FormFieldComponent],
providers: [FormFieldValidationService],
template: `

<form [ngFormModel]="registerForm"
(ngSubmit)="onSubmit()"
#regForm="ngForm">
<formField name="Username" type="text" required="true"
[control]="regForm.form.find('username')"></formField>
<formField name="Email" type="email" required="true"
[control]="regForm.form.find('email')"> </formField>
<formField name="Telephone" type="text"
[control]="regForm.form.find('telephone')"> </formField>
<formField name="Password" type="password" required="true"
[control]="regForm.form.find('password')"> </formField>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"
[disabled]="!regForm.form.valid">Submit</button>
</form>

`
})
export class RegisterComponent implements OnInit {
private registerForm: ControlGroup;
constructor(private _validationService: FormFieldValidationService) {}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.registerForm = new ControlGroup({
username: new FormControl('', this._validationService.validateUserName),
email: new FormControl('', this._validationService.validateEmail),
telephone: new FormControl('', this._validationService.validateTelephoneNumber),
password: new FormControl('', this._validationService.validatePassword),
});
}
onSubmit(): void {
console.log('Username: ' + this.registerForm.find('username').value);
console.log('Email: ' + this.registerForm.find('email').value);
console.log('Telephone: ' + this.registerForm.find('telephone').value);
}
}
Lastly you have to change the control within the FormFieldComponent to:
@Input() control: FormControl;
Wow this looks way better than our first register component :).
Note: We can’t use the formbuilder anymore. I’m not entirely sure why it’s not working,
but this code isn’t more complex than the code with the formbuilder.
Since I haven’t shown all validators you may want to visit my Github page

Intro
I followed Jason Brown's egghead tutorial, Animate React Native UI Elements, then I had the idea to create a very simple app to showcase what he did. It gives you a very good overview of what is possible with react native in terms of animations. It is of course possible to do more complex things and this can be a good start for those who want to learn.

SIL's Tai Dam Latin keyboard has been optimized for typing the Tai Dam language in the Latin script. It can also be used for typing the Tai Dón language in the Latin scrit.
No fonts are included in this keyboard package. The keyboard can be used with any font that includes coverage for the Vietnamese alphabet, plus two characters required for Tai Dam:
and one character required for Tai Dón:
Any current version of SIL's Latin fonts, as well as many commercially available fonts, meet this requirement.
SIL's Tai Dam Latin keyboard has been optimized for the Tai Dam language by moving three frequently used tone marks to the center of the keyboard. This was done to reduce the stress on the little fingers that occurs when the most frequently used characters are placed at the corners of the keyboard.
Another feature of the keyboard is that it uses context sensitivity to control the production of the tone marks used in Tai Dam, Tai Dón, and Vietnamese. Thus, the keys to which the Combining Acute, Combining Hook, Combining Dot Below, Combining Grave, Combining Tilde, and Combining Macron are assigned will produce those tone marks only after a vowel. In other contexts, the keys will produce the underlying default characters assigned to them.
Finally, any key that is remapped will produce its underlying default character if it is pressed twice.

This package provides common interfaces for the optimization algorithms
provided in sub-packages. The main interfaces defines optimizers and convergence
checkers. The functions that are optimized by the algorithms provided by this
package and its sub-packages are a subset of the one defined in the analysis
package, namely the real and vector valued functions. These functions are called
objective function here. When the goal is to minimize, the functions are often called
cost function, this name is not used in this package.
Optimizers are the algorithms that will either minimize or maximize, the objective function by changing its input variables set until an optimal set is found. There are only four interfaces defining the common behavior of optimizers, one for each supported type of objective function:
Despite there are only four types of supported optimizers, it is possible to optimize a transform a {@link org.apache.commons.math.analysis.MultivariateVectorialFunction non-differentiable multivariate vectorial function} by converting it to a {@link org.apache.commons.math.analysis.MultivariateRealFunction non-differentiable multivariate real function} thanks to the {@link org.apache.commons.math.optimization.LeastSquaresConverter LeastSquaresConverter} helper class. The transformed function can be optimized using any implementation of the {@link org.apache.commons.math.optimization.MultivariateRealOptimizer MultivariateRealOptimizer} interface.
For each of the four types of supported optimizers, there is a special implementation which wraps a classical optimizer in order to add it a multi-start feature. This feature call the underlying optimizer several times in sequence with different starting points and returns the best optimum found or all optima if desired. This is a classical way to prevent being trapped into a local extremum when looking for a global one.

[gecode-users] Advisor on a ViewArray and index of assigned variable
Christian Schulte
cschulte at kth.se
Mon Nov 9 20:20:51 CET 2015
Hi,
An advisor subscribes to a particular variable implementation through a view hence, the only information that is available by default is which advisor is executed and what is the delta.
Additional information – such as the position of an advisor in a view array – must be explicitly stored in the advisor, there is no way around it.
Cheers
Christian

Subject: [gecode-users] Advisor on a ViewArray and index of assigned variable
Hello everyone,
I am a PhD. student and I am currently looking at Gecode to see if it'll fit my needs.
I need to implement a global constraint on a large number of boolean variables. So I have extended from NaryPropagator with a view of type BoolView.
When a variable is assigned, the propagator infers some knowledge and may assign other variable(s).
To get the required information, I added an Advisor to each variable, storing its index; so I can get it in the advise method and provide it to the propagator.
But this technique is too slow and creates too much advisors.
So I tried adding an Advisor directly to the ViewArray; the advise function is correctly called and I can still get whether the variable was assigned a zero or a one with the delta.
But I don't get the index information to find the actual assigned variable.
I looked for a static method of ViewArray to convert the delta to this information but couldn't find one.
Can an Advisor on a ViewArray get the index of the assigned variable?
Or is there another way to deal with a large number of variables other than an Advisor per variable?
Regards,
Valentin

I donated $50 to the ACLU in 2020.
I had brief involvement with the Pier Condominium HOA while I owned a condominium.
I have worked in Human Resources since 2014 and through my experiences I have resolved employee conflicts, worked with small and large teams, and designed and implemented policy and processes. These experiences have involved understanding the impact of processes, policies, and decisions on various groups of employees. Many times, certain groups (such as housekeeping) were not adequately represented among management. In those times, I saw it fit to point out the underrepresentation or, if I was adequately knowledgeable on the issue, serve as a representative.
I have two reasons I would like to serve on the commission. First, I would like to give back to my community. Second, I am interested in the process and data aspects of redistricting.
I am a data driven person and I will contribute to creating agreement among commissioners by looking at the data and using that as a basis for agreement. We can use analysis to better understand a plan and that plans strengths and weaknesses. I work in Human Resources. It's my job to apply policy in a fair and impartial manner. The main ways I accomplish this is to be consistent in my application of policy and to understand, to the best of my ability, the interests of people and groups around me.
I have done a variety of a basic analysis on programs and policies in an effort to either understand an issue or gauge success. This involved mainly descriptive statistics. Currently, I am enrolled in a masters level statistics and research methods classes.

As we acknowledge the sheer power of the ocean, we must also be aware of its great potential to dredge up the edge of anything it comes into contact with. [G|D]
With the power of foreknowledge, one can hedge against the ledge of uncertainty and ensure a favorable outcome. [G|D]
We pledge to never take nature's bounty, such as the sedge and selvedge, for granted, and to always strive to protect it. [G|D]
By utilizing a sledge and straightedge, one can create an immaculate wedge that will last through time and be the foundation of something extraordinary. [G|D]

In 64-bit mode, using a REX prefix in the form of REX.R permits this instruction to access additional registers (XMM8-XMM15). Legacy SSE version: The source operand can be an MMX technology register or a 64-bit memory location. The destination operand can be an MMX technology register.
128-bit Legacy SSE version: The first source and destination operands are XMM registers. The second source operand is an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the corresponding YMM destination register remain unchanged. VEX.128 encoded version: The first source and destination operands are XMM registers. The second source operand is an XMM register or a 128-bit memory location. Bits (VLMAX-1:128) of the destination YMM register are zeroed. VEX.256 encoded version: The second source operand can be an YMM register or a 256-bit memory location. The first source and destination operands are YMM registers.

When the first cell phone call was made over 40 years ago, there was no possible way to predict the impact cellular technology would have on the world. With the rise of the smartphone, what began as a simple source of mobile communication soon evolved into a norm of constant interconnectivity. However, the advent of these pocket computers inevitably comes with risks, as the ability to interact with the outside world through a handheld device can be dangerously distracting. The rise of mobile AR only exacerbates the issue, causing people to unwittingly put themselves in unsafe situations in the pursuit of new experiences (or rare Pokémon). SafePedestrianGo allows us to combat this danger – by using computer vision and map data, we can detect if pedestrians are looking at their phones while approaching a road. A notification will then pop up to notify the user so that they look up and are aware of any oncoming traffic.
Innovations in smartphone technology have indisputably enhanced our lives, but along with these technological advancements comes a responsibility to address the growing problem of “inattentional blindness.” The recent mobile phenomenon Pokémon Go (alongside other apps) has stolen the attention of people across the globe, leading to a spike in pedestrian injuries. We were inspired to develop a solution to an issue that is causing tangible harm to tech enthusiasts. According to a Wall Street Journal article written by columnist Gregory A. Fowler, “emergency room visits involving distracted pedestrians using cellphones were up 124% in 2014 from 2010.” We hope to see this number decline with the introduction of SafePedestrianGo and similar initiatives focused on the safety of those traveling by foot in urban areas.

This is a bare-bones implementation of sampling algorithms for a variety of Bayesian stick-breaking (marginally DP) mixture models, including particle learning and Gibbs sampling for static DP mixtures, particle learning for dynamic BAR stick-breaking, and DP mixture regression. The software is designed to be easy to customize to suit different situations and for experimentation with stick-breaking models. Since particles are repeatedly copied, it is not an especially efficient implementation.

HOFFA A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1992 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Danny DeVito's film is not so much a biography of Jimmy Hoffa as a spectacularly illustrated dossier. DeVito, with the aid of a David Mamet screenplay, tells us that behind the forceful, ambitious public image of Hoffa was a man who was ambitious and forceful. Rating: 0 (-4 to +4).
Something is missing in Danny DeVito's HOFFA. It is not the budget and it is not that the budget seems wasted. There is a lot of money on the screen in HOFFA. The film has an expensive star with a terrific make-up job (when I first saw the trailer and saw the face on the screen, I though "Hoffa" first and it took a beat to two to recognize it was Jack Nicholson I was looking at). The film also has spectacular action scenes of an acre of strikers in a melee with an acre of strike breakers. But what is missing and what is missed is a human behind the public face of Hoffa. What this film says about Hoffa, the man, is that he cusses and drinks coffee. Just about everything else about him in this film you could find in a good encyclopedia. That is, everything that is true in the film. In an afterword to this review I will give a few facts that do not square with this fictionalized version of the professional life of Jimmy Hoffa. There are probably other major deviations from the truth in this film.
As the film opens, Hoffa (played by Nicholson) is at a roadside diner with his longtime friend Bobby Ciaro (played by Danny DeVito outdoing the major role Spike Lee gave himself in MALCOLM X). Together they are waiting for the arrival of a third party. As they wait Ciaro remembers their long career together. They meet when Hoffa is a young man preaching the evangel of the union. Ciaro soon learns that his new acquaintance is happily willing to break the law and to hurt whomever he has to for the sake of organizing labor. While DeVito's character never finds love and looks for one-night stands, DeVito the director here finds his own true love--the overhead shot. Through much of the rest of the film DeVito carries on his torrid love affair with overhead shots. DeVito and overhead shots seem inseparable until in the last third he has a quick affair with artistic scene transitions.
DeVito's infatuation with overhead shots and artistic scene transitions notwithstanding, he does show some nice visual sense. One gets the impression that Hoffa (like the other enigmatic anti-hero of this film season, Dracula) rarely ventures forth in the daytime and then only when it is heavily overcast. This gives us a dismal recreation of Detroit. Hoffa comes off as a creature of the night more than willing to deal with the underworld if it suits the purposes of the union. Since we see almost none of Hoffa's personal life and little positive in his professional life, we are understandably ambivalent as to the fate of the union leader. Hoffa seems likable only when he is verbally tying knots in Robert Kennedy (played by Kevin Anderson). Kennedy, as you might guess, comes off less than favorably in this film.
DeVito's HOFFA is sometimes well-photographed and sometimes not.  My rating is a 0 on the -4 to +4 scale.
Afterword (with minor spoiler): Jimmy Hoffa disappeared on Wednesday, July 30, 1975. He expected a meeting at the somewhat fancy restaurant, the Manchus Red Fox. It is thought he was meeting a local crime figure. He arrived at the restaurant at about 2 PM. After a half hour, he called his wife to tell her that the others had failed to appear. At 2:45 PM or so he was seen in the parking lot getting into a car with some other men. This is clearly not events as shown in the film. Also, one might wonder why in the film Bobby Ciaro chooses this day to remember his whole past with Hoffa.

Match Play. Red leads 3-1 to 7. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=76 White=121
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
Can Red roll a three before White rolls a five? He is on roll so he is the favourite. Note that if he wins a gammon he will win the match.
This is a great pressure double and must be given. Not doubling is a blunder. Red’s sixes will soon be killed. At worst Red will have to drop the redouble but that is a two-point loss rather than one. On the plus side the gammon is a match winner.
The glass is half full here. Double and easy take.
