Data¶
Akin to Vega’s data model, the basic data model used by Vega-Lite is tabular data, similar to a spreadsheet or a database table. Individual data sets are assumed to contain a collection of records, which may contain any number of named data fields.
Vega-Lite’s data
property describes the visualization’s data source as part of the specification, which can be either inline data (values
) or a URL from which to load the data (url
). Alternatively, we can create an empty, named data source (name
), which can be bound at runtime or populated from top-level datasets.
Documentation Overview¶
- TOC
Types of Data Sources¶
Inline Data¶
Inline Data can be specified using values
property.
Here is a list of all properties of an inline data
source:
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="values,name,format" source="InlineData" %}
For example, the following specification embeds an inline data table with nine rows and two columns (a
and b
).
If the input data is simply an array of primitive values, each value is mapped to the data
property of a new object. For example [5, 3, 8, 1]
is loaded as:
[ {"data": 5}, {"data": 3}, {"data": 8}, {"data": 1} ]
You can also inline a string that will be parsed according to the specified format type.
Data from URL¶
Data can be loaded from a URL using the url
property. In addition, the format of the input data can be specified using the formatType
property. By default Vega-Lite will infer the type from the file extension.
Here is a list of all properties describing a data
source from URL:
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="url,name,format" source="UrlData" %}
For example, the following specification loads data from a relative url
: data/cars.json
. Note that the format type is implicitly "json"
by default.
Named Data Sources¶
Data can also be added at runtime through the Vega View API.
Data sources are referenced by name, which is specified in Vega-Lite with name
.
Here is a list of all properties describing a named data
source:
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="name,format" source="NamedData" %}
For example, to create a data source named myData
, use the following data
{
"name": "myData"
}
Format¶
The format object describes the data format and additional parsing instructions.
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="type,parse" source="CsvDataFormat" %}
json¶
Loads a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file. Assumes row-oriented data, where each row is an object with named attributes. This is the default file format, and so will be used if no format parameter is provided. If specified, the format
parameter should have a type property of "json"
, and can also accept the following:
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="property" source="JsonDataFormat" %}
csv¶
Load a comma-separated values (CSV) file. This format type does not support any additional properties.
tsv¶
Load a tab-separated values (TSV) file. This format type does not support any additional properties.
dsv¶
Load a delimited text file with a custom delimiter. This is a general version of CSV and TSV.
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="delimiter" source="DsvDataFormat" %}
topojson¶
Load a JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) file using the TopoJSON format. The input file must contain valid TopoJSON data. The TopoJSON input is then converted into a GeoJSON format. There are two mutually exclusive properties that can be used to specify the conversion process:
liqid template: like ".. altair-object-table::"
{% include table.html props="feature,mesh" source="TopoDataFormat" %}
Datasets¶
Vega-Lite supports a top-level datasets
property. This can be useful when the same data should be inlined in different places in the spec. Instead of setting values inline, specify datasets at the top level and then refer to the named datasource in the rest of the spec. datasets
is a mapping from name to an inline dataset.
"datasets": {
"somedata": [1,2,3]
},
"data": {
"name": "somedata"
}


The idea is to create a component "VideoLightbox". It combines two effects: Video on the background and the lightbox (Modal Image Gallery). The HTML coders use this component when they would like to show a component that has a background video behind a lightbox.

A tree is a non-linear data structure that simulates a hierarchical tree structure.
A general tree, or k-ary tree, is made up of nodes (or vertices) connected by edges.
A tree has a root node and potentially many levels of an arbitrary number of children that form a hierarchy.
If a node is connected to other nodes below it, that node is called the parent node, and the nodes following it are called child nodes. Each node in the tree can be see as a subtree.
Note: A tree is a graph without cycles.
Inserts a node in the tree.
This searches for a node with the given value in the
tree and returns true
if it exists, otherwise
false
.
Returns the minimum or maximum value in the tree.
Removes a node from the tree.
The top node in a tree.
A node directly connected to another node when moving away from the root.
A node with other nodes connected below it.
A group of nodes with the same parent.
A node with no children.
A node with at last one child.
For a given node, its number of children. A leaf is necessarily degree zero.
The connection between one node and another.
A sequence of nodes and edges connecting a node with a descendant.
The level of a node is defined as: 1 + the number of edges between the node and the root.
The depth of a node is defined as: the number of edges between the node and the root.
The height of a node is the number of edges on the longest path between that node and a leaf.
The height of a tree is the height of its root node.
A forest is a set of n ≥ 0
disjoint
trees.


Here are two examples of the Tooltip widget. The first one passes a
string to k-content
(you can also use title
with
the same effect). That string uses the time
variable from
scope, but even though we update it from JavaScript notice it doesn't
update in the tooltip — that's because the attribute is evaluated by
Angular even before our directive runs. If you need to be able to
dynamically update a tooltip's content by changing the scope, place the
content in a scope variable like in the second sample.

My proposal to you. Dear Sir, Greetings, I am Mr. Dan Patrick, a staff in Barclays bank, here in United Kingdom. However I got your contact through the International web directory. Recently we discovered a Dormant Account with a huge amount of Money Valued USD14, 000,000.00 (Fourteen Million Dollars only) that belongs to one of our late Customer who died in a plane crash. During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to MOHAMED KAMAL YASSER who died along with his wife and his two sons and the fund has been dormant in his account with this bank without any claim of the funds in our custody either from his family or relation before our discovery of this development. The Banking law here stipulates that if such money remains unclaimed for Six years, it will be forfeited to the Bank treasury as an unclaimed bill. It is only an outsider from the bank that can stand as a next of kin and It is upon this discovery that I decided to contact you to collaborate with you to pull out this dormant fund. In order to avert this negative development, I on behalf of my trusted colleagues now seek your permission to have you stand in as next of kin to our late customer so that the fund will be released and paid into your account as the beneficiary next of kin, now that the bank is still expecting a next of kin or relative of the deceased, MOHAMED KAMAL YASSER. Please go through the website below to confirm this story www.cnn.com/us/9911/02/egyptair990.list/index.html We could have done this deal alone but because of our position in this country as civil servants, we can not do it on our own or with close friends because that would eventually raise an eye brow on our side during the time of transfer since we still work in this bank, this is the actual reason why we required a second party or fellow who will assist us forward claims as the next of kin and also provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this fund, even an empty account can also serve for this purpose. On smooth conclusion of this transaction, you will be entitled to 25% as gratification for your assisting us, while 5%will be set aside to take care of expenses on our both sides that may arise during the time of transfer and also for telephone bills, and the remaining 70% will be for me and my partners. What I want from you is for you to act as the deceased next of kin. I have in my possession, all the necessary documents to successfully accomplish the operation. Please, bear in mind that this proposal is 100% risk free. Further information will be given to you as soon as I receive your positive response. I suggest you get back to me as soon as possible stating your wish. Best Regards. Dan Patrick. Note: Please, respond to this email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>---------------- Powered by telstra.com

| UInt32 | Status [get, set] |
| Specifies current status conditions for the context. These conditions can be combined by using the bitwise OR operator. The lcStatus field can be any combination of the values defined in ECTXStatusValues. | |
| UInt32 | Locks [get, set] |
| Specifies which attributes of the context the application wishes to be locked. Lock conditions specify attributes of the context that cannot be changed once the context has been opened (calls to WTConfig will have no effect on the locked attributes). The lock conditions can be combined by using the bitwise OR operator. The lcLocks field can be any combination of the values defined in ECTXLockValues. Locks can only be changed by the task or process that owns the context. | |
| UInt32 | MsgBase [get, set] |
| Specifies the range of message numbers that will be used for reporting the activity of the context. | |
| UInt32 | Device [get, set] |
| Specifies the device whose input the context processes. | |
| UInt32 | PktRate [get, set] |
| Specifies the desired packet report rate in Hertz. Once the con-text is opened, this field will contain the actual report rate. | |
| WTPKT | PktData [get, set] |
| Specifies which optional data items will be in packets returned from the context. Requesting unsupported data items will cause Open() to fail. | |
| WTPKT | PktMode [get, set] |
| Specifies whether the packet data items will be returned in absolute or relative mode. If the item's bit is set in this field, the item will be returned in relative mode. Bits in this field for items not selected in the PktData property will be ignored. Bits for data items that only allow one mode (such as the packet identifier) will also be ignored. | |
| WTPKT | MoveMask [get, set] |
| Specifies which packet data items can generate move events in the context. Bits for items that are not part of the packet definition in the PktData property will be ignored. The bits for buttons, time stamp, and the packet identifier will also be ignored. In the case of overlapping contexts, movement events for data items not selected in this field may be processed by underlying contexts. | |
| UInt32 | BtnDnMask [get, set] |
| Specifies the buttons for which button press events will be processed in the context. In the case of overlapping contexts, button press events for buttons that are not selected in this field may be processed by underlying contexts. | |
| UInt32 | BtnUpMask [get, set] |
| Specifies the buttons for which button release events will be processed in the context. In the case of overlapping contexts, button release events for buttons that are not selected in this field may be processed by underlying contexts. If both press and release events are selected for a button (see the BtnDnMask property), then the interface will cause the context to implicitly capture all tablet events while the button is down. In this case, events occurring outside the context will be clipped to the context and processed as if they had occurred in the context. When the button is released, the context will receive the button release event, and then event processing will return to normal. | |
| Int32 | InOrgX [get, set] |

Contouring of Distributions of Orientation Data
This program plots contours of densities in a Lambert projection of orientation data. Starting form and data input are the same as those of the previous programs.
In the menu 'data input' you choose the drive which contains the data or 'manual' if you want to add new data.
Manual input is also possible for universal stage data like azimuths and tilt angles of axes (i.e. quartz-c-axes) or normals to planes (i.e. poles to mica-planes). These data are converted to azimuths of dip and angles of dip internally. All further processing of these data is done in this format.
The type of data must be set in the menu 'fabric type'. In the menu ‚angle‚ you choose input in the 1..360° or 1..400gon scale.
For data input from a file the fabric types "U-stage-axes" and "U-stage-poles“ are not active, because U-stage data are saved in *.LIN files.
Data input from an EXCEL-sheet is also possible. In the sheet azimuth of dip and angle of dip may either be written in a single row (with a separation key) or in two separate rows.

See The Pics: Prince William And Kate Middleton Attend Star-Studded Royal Variety Performance
by Jamie SamhanThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got a rare night out together without their three children.
The couple were the guests of honour at The Royal Variety Performance held at the London Palladium which supports entertainers as they get older or in hard times.
With Queen Elizabeth as patron, each year a different representative from the Royal Family shows up for the big night which is always good for a laugh. This is the third time the couple has attending and in the past, Prince William was prompted to gallop around like a horse.
William and Kate took time to meet with the entertainers who put on the show, including singer Petula Clark who chatted with the Duchess about her three children Prince George, 6, Princess Charlotte, 4, and Prince Louis, 1.
According to Hello! Kate told Clark that the kids were very excited that their parents were going to a night filled with singing and dancing. And while they would “love” to go, the Duchess had to tell them “not on a school night.”
Comedians Rob Beckett and Ramesh Ranganathan also spoke with William about the children, revealing they have three kids as well. They assumed that Will and Kate have the same thought when their kids wake them up early in the morning- “Why did we do this?”
The Duke and Duchess didn’t reply but did laugh at the thought.
Sir Rod Stewart was scheduled to take part in the evening but had to pull out hours before the show due to a throat infection. Other celebs to take part in the star-studded night included the cast of Mary Poppins, Robby Williams and Mabel.


Arsenal great lists the problems which Unai Emery's successor has to solve at the Gunners
Alan Smith has been speaking about Arsenal, Unai Emery and the future of the club
by Josh Challies, Paul ClarkeFormer Arsenal star Alan Smith has been reacting to the Gunners' decision to sack Unai Emery this morning.
Freddie Ljungberg will be in interim charge for the game against Norwich City but no firm decision has yet been made on who will succeed Emery on a permanent basis at Arsenal.
The likes of Wolves' boss Nuno Espirito Santo, Man City assistant Mikel Arteta and former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino have been linked but there appears to be no rush at the moment to announce Emery's long-term replacement.
Smith, for one, has detailed the problems which need to be sorted out at the Emirates by whoever succeeds the Spaniard.
"The first thing anyone has to do is organise them. In many ways it’s a similar situation to Mourinho coming into Spurs, he’s got good players and it’s easy to forget there are a number of good players at Arsenal," Smith told Sky Sports.
"Obviously in attack there is (Alexandre) Lacazette and (Pierre-Emerick) Aubameyang, there is some good young lads coming through that can be developed and, given the right manager, I think that defence can be organised much better than it has been, particularly the midfield protecting that defence.
"It’s working on that, which we thought would happen when Arsene Wenger left the club and Emery came in, we thought there would be a lot more discipline in the shape of the team. If they can achieve that, you fancy that they would always score goals so it’s that basic organisation you are looking for."

I was asked to create this application in the summer of 2015 in order to help a nonprofit organization India Foundation of Metropolitan Princeton keep track of its members. I wrote this application in VB.Net and it access a MSSQL database. This project taught me a lot about meeting specifications and how to create a UI that would be intuitive and simple to use for the user. Up until this project I was mostly coding things that used the command line, so creating a GUI was a good learning experience.
IFMP needed a more efficient way to store and access their members list compared to the method they were using at the time which was to collaborate the membership information collected by multiple people into an excel spreadsheet that had to be maintained manually. This was important because members had to pay annual dues and having an outdated membership list could cause a lot of problems or people could say they had paid when they really hadn’t, but if the membership list wasn’t current they would be let in. To solve this problem I created a MSSQL database to store information about each member such as First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Family Size (membership would cost different amounts based on this), Address etc. Using a VB.Net front end users can access this database and easily lookup members by name, last name or an ID Column field then easily update the information of the member and send those updates back to the database, no excel sheets involved!
Working on this project taught me a lot about software design and development as
well as testing and debugging. I had only worked on assignments in my classes which
required the command line and had never made a GUI/Front end to any of the work I had
done. It was a great learning experience to develop the user interface that would make
it easy for someone to interact with my code and it also was something I had not done
before this project. I also learned some basic SQL from this project as well as how to
send emails from this application to certain members based on criteria ( for example
sending an email to everyone who was inactive asking them to renew their membership).
I still do work on it today if the organization needs new features added although for
the most part the application is complete.
I will outline some of the features of this program below. The features listed below
are not all the features of the project because I am still working on documenting them.
Some features also include the ability to save the contents of the membership table to
an excel sheet, send emails using SMTP/Gmail/EAGetMail to members in the database using
the email address field based upon certain criteria (IE if they are members are nonmembers)
and resizable mode (two options 1080 x 720 and 1548 x 825). I will get around to documenting
all the features of the application.
Source code can be found here .
This is the basic login screen. You can log onto this application as either a user or an administrator.
This is the screen that allows you to log into the database. You will need to have your IP address added to a list of IP's addressed allowed to access the database before you can use this application. If your IP address isn't on that list then you cannot proceed further.
This is the main user interface. It contains many features that I will go over. For demonstration purposes I have excluded all actual members and am just using fake members I created named test one and test two. A feature of this application is the ability to search for members by either typing part of their first/last name or typing their ID into the corresponding textboxes.
A user may click on the ID column of any member and autofill the textboxes with the data stored in the database corresponding to that member.
A user may fill in textboxes then press update in order to update the information stored in the database.
This is the Add Member interface. ID Number is filled in automatically by checking the existing ID's and adding + to previous highest number. Default Event/Payment/Channel are filled in automatically by reading in from the settings table. The user must enter a First/Last name for each member as well as an email address.
When all fields have been filled out as desired, a Welcome Email will be sent to the member containing information about the Organization and their membership ID/information we have stored about them in the database. This is doing using SMTPServer and Gmail.
The main table being used is called membership. The defaults table is used to store default values for event/channel/payment method that will be autofilled when add member is called. The user can press menu->settings->set default event/channel/payment. The defaults table will then be updated with the currently selected value for any of these three combo boxes.
The values that can be chosen are based off three other tables, Events/Channels/PaymentMethods. Each of these tables contain one field (Events/Channels/PaymentMethods) which are primary key and are sorted in ascneding order. Below is an example of the event table, however the Channel and Payment tables are the same.
The following code will initalize the EventBox combo box based on the contents of the Events Table. Of course, the same method is called to initialize the Payment/Channel combo boxes.
When the application loads or add member is called, the following code will execute to find the current default values for the Event/Payment/Channel boxes and set the value to the defaults. For Payment/Channel, the select statement is just select [Default Payment] / [Default Channel]
I worked on this project as part of one of my classes, Introduction to Open Source, and continued working on it beyond that class. Here is a nice presentation on what we contributed to this project as part of that class. The project can be found here. I created the wiki for this project documenting the features of the game as well as how to install the game. I would like more people to contribute to this project if possible, so I added some pages on how people can get involved. This is a Pokemon battle simulator written in OCaml that requires a linux machine/virtual machine to run. Here are some images of what the game interface looks like.
Here are all the trainers currently in the game!
I had created an Excel spreadsheet of all of the League of Legends skins I owned and wanted a way to visually display them somehow. Skins in League of Legends are customizations that change the way certain characters look in game that are purchaseable for money. There isn't really a method built-in into the game to see all of the skins you currently own. I decided to manually go through each champion(character in the game) I owned and look through the skins I had for them and record them into an Excel spreadsheet so I knew what I owned. I wanted to learn how to use the Riot API, so I figured I may as well make a program to read the skins I own and generate an HTML page containing the artwork of each skin. The source code for this program can be be found here . I used a template program from a Youtube video I found in order understand how the the API worked first, then started working on what I wanted to do. Part of this program reads an Excel spreadsheet in as input and outputs a result Excel spreadsheet. This was necessary because when accessing the API I used an exact string match to find out if I owned a champion skin, but in my own Excel spreadsheet I had only written the first part of a skin name (for example Frostfire Annie was just Frostfire) and thus I needed to append the second part(the champion name) to multiple cells in my source excel spreadsheet. Instead of doing this manually, I did it programatically and afterwards double checked to remove some unncessary additions (for example Snowmerdinger is the correct string and Snowmerdinger Heimerdinger is the incorrect string so I had to fix these cases). Then reading in my new Excel spreadsheet, I looped through each champion in the JSON response file then each skins field of each champion to find out the unique number associated with each skin. This number is used to in the image urls to identify which skin is which, so for example Justicar Aatrox is the number 1 http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/loading/Aatrox_1.jpg" and the default Aatrox skin is the number 0 http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/loading/Aatrox_0.jpg . These URLS are saved into a list that I write to my output HTML file at the very end. I use insertion sort to make sure this list in alphabetical order.
I can expand upon this project in two ways, first would be to style the HTML page
/ make it more interesting. Second I could make a program that would generate the Skins
Excel spreadsheet using data from a user's League of Legends client (as that is the place
where the skin data is stored) and then use that generated Excel spreadsheet to make
an HTML page and host it on my website. Another option would be to create
a webform people can fill out containing all skins in the game then use the response to
make an Excel spreadsheet, run my HTML generating program locally, then finally
upload the page to my website/send the person who submitted the URL a link to their
very own skins page. This method requires that the user will go through all the champions
/skins they own however so it's more time consuming than being able to access the information
directly from their client, however it requires less from a user because they wouldn't have to
install an application/can do it all from the web. This would be a valuable service to
the League of Legends community as currently there isn't a very intuitive way to see
all the skins you have owned at once and I look forward to working on it some more

These are programs I have written to practice various Data Structures and Algorithms concepts. They can be found on my Github here . There are also solutions to various Hackerank/Leetcode problems I have solved in my free time.
I have worked a lot with the Open Source community, both in being an undergraduate programming mentor for the class Introduction to Open Source at RPI as well as contributing to external open source projects. Notably I created a study guide to help students with Quiz 1.
I have made contributions to the open source project LEGUP - a logic helper/puzzle software. I was taken an Introduction to Logic class and had to use this software and noticed it was on Github and had an issue I felt I could work on, changing the background of the tile squares so that they could be clearly distinguishable from the lighted up squares for a light up puzzle game ( issue ). After looking through the codebase and trying to understand what files to change, I was able to implement this feature and get my code merged back into the master branch (contributions).
As part of the Rensselaer Center for Open Source I worked on ZNC Self Message modules , info can be found here .
I also have contributed to the ZNC repository helping with some documentation so that
other developers could have an easier time.
Commits
I am currently working on a Hearthstone Hero Power simulator. Hearthstone is an online card game
where players create their own decks and play against each other (more info here .
The premise of this project is simulate a Hearthstone match where both players only use their hero power on each turn available. I quickly realized I could apply the Factory design pattern using an abstract Class represents the Hero class (In Hearthstone players choose 1 of 9 heroes each with a different hero power). Once I finish the main design I would like to either learn and use QT to give it a GUI or use another
programming langauge to provide some sort of UI. Additionally I would like to implement the simulator in multiple languages just to get
more experience with OOP. I also have implemented a CMake file in order to link everything toghether easier which is something I had
learned abbout in Introduction to Open Source but never really used until now.
Project can be found here .
This website reflects my efforts to learn HTML/CSS. I started from the Github Pages template and am using basic
HTML/CSS right now as I am getting more comfortable with how things works. I intend to switch to using a framework (mostly likely
Boostrap) and making the website mobile friendly, but I am pursuing other projects as of now so it may be a while. I wanted to first
work on making content/exploring what could be done on a website before trying to make it "pretty" and as of now (March 2017) and I
still working on the content part.
UPDATES
4/18/2017- I am currently in the process of using Boostrap across this website and changing some of the pages around.
4/28/2017 - All pages currently use bootstrap. Over the summer I will implement a lot of unimplemented features of some pages and
improve the overall look of the website further.
5/7/2017- These are a series of pack opening simulator I am creating. Currently I am working on one for Magic the Gathering
and one for Hearthstone. I may do one for Overwatch/mabye heroes of the storm in the future. The projects can be

Malala Yousafzai - A Global Advocate for Girls' Education
Malala was born on 12 July 1997 in Mingora, a town in the Swat District of north-west Pakistan. Malala shared her father’s passion for learning and loved going to school. In 2009, as the Taliban’s military hold on Swat intensified, Malala began writing a blog for the BBC Urdu service under a pseudonym, about fears that her school would be attacked and the increasing military activity in Swat. Television and music were banned, women were prevented from going shopping and then Ziauddin was told that his school had to close. Malala and her father received death threats but continued to speak out for the right to education. Around this time, Malala was featured in a documentary made for The New York Times and was revealed as the author of the BBC blog.
On 9 October 2012, as Malala and her friends were travelling home from school, a masked gunman entered their school bus and asked for Malala by name. She was shot with a single bullet which went through her head, neck and shoulder. Two of her friends were also injured in the attack. Malala survived the initial attack, but was in a critical condition. She was moved to Birmingham in the United Kingdom for treatment at a hospital that specialises in military injuries. She was not discharged until January, 2013 by which time she had been joined by her family in the UK. The Taliban's attempt to kill Malala received worldwide condemnation and led to protests across Pakistan. In the weeks after the attack, over 2 million people signed a right to education petition, and the National Assembly swiftly ratified Pakistan's first Right To Free and Compulsory Education Bill.
Malala became a global advocate for the millions of girls being denied a formal education because of social, economic, legal and political factors. In 2013, Malala and Ziauddin co-founded the Malala Fund to bring awareness to the social and economic impact of girls' education and to empower girls to raise their voices, to unlock their potential and to demand change.
Malala accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on 10 December, 2014 with Indian children's rights and education advocate Kailash Satyarthi. Malala contributed her entire prize money of more than $500,000 to financing the creation of a secondary school for girls in Pakistan.

Several of the audio demos use properties of the western 12-tone musical scale. Here, we give a very brief introduction to the structure of this scale.
The human ear is extremely sensitive to harmonic relationships between sounds when these sounds are combined. For example, two tones whose frequencies are a factor of two apart are percieved as being the same musical note, although one is clearly higher than the other. These two notes are said to be one octave apart. Thus, for example, 440 Hz is the musical note A. So is 220 Hz and 880 Hz.
The twelve distinct notes in the musical scale are evenly distributed over one octave. Note, however, that how we "evenly distribute" these tones is important. The arithmetic distance between A-440 and A-880 is not the same as the distance between A-220 and A-440. The notes need to be distributed geometrically, rather than arithmetically. How do we do this?
One simple mechanism is to start with some note, say A-220, and multiply it by the 12-th root of two to get the next note. If we do this 12 times, we will have multiplied by two, thus arriving at the note one octave up, A-440. The 12-th root of two is 1.0594631. If we multiply this successively, starting with A-220, we get the following frequencies:
A 220 A# 233.082 B 246.942 C 261.626 C# 277.183 D 293.665 D# 311.127 E 329.628 F 349.228 F# 369.994 G 391.995 G# 415.305 A 440This scale is said to have "equal temperament" and is the scale commonly used in western music.
Why twelve? It turns out that this scale has very special properties. In particular, it can be constructed approximately by a very different procedure that emphasizes the fact that the human ear percieves harmonic relationships very clearly. This procedure is called the "circle of fifths."
Start with A-220 and double it to get A-440. These two frequencies will be percieved as being the same note, and will sound very pleasing together. If we triple it to get 660 Hz, this is no longer an A. However, this new frequency will also sound good in combination with an A. So will half of this frequency, 330 Hz. Notice that 330 Hz is very close to the note E in the above scale. It is said to be a fifth above A.
We can repeat this procedure. Triple E-330 to get 990 Hz, and divide by two. The result, 495 Hz, lies above the octave shown above, so we divide by two again to get 247.5 Hz. This is very close to B, which is the note a fifth above E.
If we continue this procedure, we get the following sequence of notes: A, E, B, F#, C#, G#, D#, A#, F, C, G, D, A.
A 220 vs. 220 A# 234.932 vs. 233.082 B 247.5 vs. 246.942 C 264.298 vs. 261.626 C# 278.438 vs. 277.183 D 297.335 vs. 293.665 D# 313.242 vs. 311.127 E 330 vs. 329.628 F 352.397 vs. 349.228 F# 371.25 vs. 369.994 G 396.447 vs. 391.995 G# 417.656 vs. 415.305 A 446.003 vs. 440Notice that once the circle has closed, there is an error of only 6 Hz! The well-tempered scale distributes this error uniformly through all the notes.

Dynamics is known as the study of why things move and is the second branch of Mechanics. The foundation of Dynamics was laid out by famous astronoumer Galileo Galilei and later Sir Issac Newton. His work was widely spread throughout Europe and his book "Two New Sciences" opened the way to treating physics mathematically. For instance, he formulated that force was proportional to acceleration and laid the groundwork to what would become the creation of Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
Sir Issac Newton
Key Terms
- Force: a push or pull that can change the orientation of an object; they are measured in Newtons(N) and are also vector quantities.
- 4 Fundamental Force:
- (Fg)Gravitational Force: the attractive force that exists between all objects in the universe regardless if the object is in contact with anything else.
- (EMF)Electromagnetic Force: force caused by electric charges over infinite distances(e.g. Electric Force & Magnetic Force)
- Strong Nuclear Force: force that holds protons and neutrons together in the nucleus by overwhelming the electromagnetic force in a very short range.
- Weak Nuclear Force: force responsible for creation and destruction of neutrons.
- Contact Forces:
- (FN)Normal Force - force perpendicular to the surfaces of the objects that are in contact. The normal force is unique because it changes its magnitude depending on the force acting against it.
For instance, a book on a table is being crushed by gravity but the normal force is resisting that force so that the book remains stationary.
- (Ff)Friction Force - force between objects in contact that is applied in the direction opposite to the attempted motion. The amount of friction force depends on the mass of the object, the quality of the surface, and the gravitational field strength.
- (FT)Tension Force - force exerted by strings, ropes, fibres, chains, and anything like that.
- (FA)Applied Force - force exerted by a human or an object on an object.
- Free Body Diagram(FBD): a diagram that shows all active forces on an object, that doesn't include the forces exerted on another object. The isolated object is drawn along with force vectors to represent the active forces.
The size of the force vectors matter: a normal force is identically sized as the gravity force in a stationary object.
FBD Examples
- Net Force: the sum of all forces acted on an object for either horizontal or vertical forces; resultant force(vector)
A stationary object would have a net force of zero, the gravity that is applied on it is "cancelled out" by the normal force.
- Mass: quantity of matter in an object. This property never changes unless matter is extracted from the object.
- Weight: the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. This property does change depending on the objects latitude and altitude, because the force of gravity is different in different places.
- Inertia: the tendency of an object to remain at rest or in motion, which is measured by the object's mass.
Newton's Three Laws of Motion
Introduction
Newton's Three Laws of Motion reflect the behaviour of the motion of an object in certain situations.
- Newton's first law of motion(Law of Inertia) were the continuation on the findings of famous astronoumer Galileo Galilei. The law states that objects will remain at rest or in a uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. Basically it is the tendency of objects to remain unchanged.
Let's say that I apply a force to a soccer ball on a completely frictionless(which is impossible) surface. The ball will continuously travel forward because friction or any other force isn't there to stop it. And a ball at rest will stay at rest.
Ball at Rest
It is also why objects thrown in the air within the vehicle are unaffected by the movement because the object in the air has the tendency to continue moving.
- Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied to accelerate it(F=ma).
- Newton's third law of motion states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction"(Fa=-Fa). This means that when you or an object applies a force(action force), that same magnitude of force will be exerted back onto that object(reaction force).
A good example of this is throwing a tennis ball at a wall. The harder you throw the ball - or the more force you exert - the faster the ball will come back to you. This is because when the ball comes in contact with the wall, the ball exerts a force to the wall and the wall exerts that same magnitude of force back on to the ball. The reason the ball accelerates so much faster than the wall is due to the differences in mass. As seen in Newton's second law, acceleration is equal to the force divided by mass(a=F/m). The greater the mass, the lesser the acceleration.
Tennis Ball Example
Air Resistance & Terminal Velocity
Air Resistance is the upward force exerted on an object as it falls. If there was no air resistance force, then skydivers would just fall towards the ground at unimaginable speeds.
When skydivers jump out, they first experience a stage of free fall which is when gravity is the only force acting on them. As the speed increases the air resistance will increase as well until eventually the two forces balance out and there is a constant velocity; this is the terminal velocity which is the maximum velocity reached upon when the forces of gravity and air resistance balance on a falling object.
Terminal Velocity Process
Elevator
If we try to weigh ourselves(on a scale) in a moving elevator, the result may seem surprising. When you step on a scale, you are applying a weight(gravity) force to the scale and that scale is using that force to calculate your weight with appropriate units(kg, lbs, etc). So to solve for your weight in the elevator, we have to solve for the support force(or the normal force).
When the elevator is at rest, your weight remains the same. When the elevator is moving at a constant velocity, your weight still remains the same because the elevator isn't acceleration and if a=0, then the net force(gravity and normal cancel) would also equal zero(F=m(0)=0). When the elevator is accelerating upwards, your weight will appear larger because the normal force is more upwards than your weight is downwards. When the elevator is accelerating downwards, the normal force with the floor is less upwards than your weight is downwards, so you appear lighter.
Elevator Problem
Coefficient of Friction
The Coefficient of Friction is ratio of the magnitude of the friction force(Ff) and the normal force(FN). It is the value that shows the friction relationship between objects and the normal reaction between them.
(Max)Static Friction(Fs): the force required to accelerate an object forward which doesn't exist until an attempt is made to move it. It is the friction force that is active when an object is stationary.
Kinetic Friction(Fk): the force that acts against a moving object's motion in the desired direction. It exists once the force applied in the desired direction is greater than the max static friction force. Typically the kinetic coefficient of friction is less than the coefficient of static friction. When the static friction force is equal to the applied force, the object is stationary thus has no acceleration. When the kinetic friction force is equal to the applied force, the object would be moving at a constant velocity thus has no acceleration as well.
For instance, when you are pushing a heavy box on the floor. When the box is stationary, you need to apply a lot more force to accelerate it(static friction) and once accelerated, the box is easier to push(kinetic friction).
It can be visuallized with a graph that looks something like this:
Static vs Kinetic Graph Comparison

GObject ╰── GtkEventController ╰── GtkGesture ╰── GtkGestureSingle ╰── GtkGestureDrag ╰── GtkGesturePan
GtkGesturePan is a GtkGesture implementation able to recognize
pan gestures, those are drags that are locked to happen along one
axis. The axis that a GtkGesturePan handles is defined at
construct time, and can be changed through
gtk_gesture_pan_set_orientation()
.
When the gesture starts to be recognized, GtkGesturePan will attempt to determine as early as possible whether the sequence is moving in the expected direction, and denying the sequence if this does not happen.
Once a panning gesture along the expected axis is recognized, the “pan” signal will be emitted as input events are received, containing the offset in the given axis.
GtkGesture * gtk_gesture_pan_new (GtkWidget *widget

);
Returns a newly created GtkGesture that recognizes pan gestures.
Since: 3.14
GtkOrientation
gtk_gesture_pan_get_orientation (GtkGesturePan *gesture

Welcome to Liquid Stats. This project uses the Untappd API, and allows you to keep track of whats beers you have had, your top rated beers, badges you earned, and statics about your Untappd checkins.
The recent checkins page will display your 25 most recent checkins.
The top beers page is what it sounds. It will display the top beers you have checked in, based on your rating of those beers. The number of beers displayed will be based on a ratings threshold (i.e all ratings > x)
This page will display different stats, using bar graphs, pie charts, a map, and a table. Bar graphs will show for your ratings, community ratings, ABV, and IBU. Pie charts will display your total number of beers by year, month, and day of the week. A map will display the location of the the breweries that the beers come from. A table will display the info for each beer, with columns for brewey info, beer info with description, style info, your rating, community ratinng, ABV, and IBU.
The wishlist page will display the beers that have been added to the users Untappd wishlist. If the user has no beers in their wishlist a message will indicate the fact that the wish list is empty
We hope you enjoy our app. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to contact us. Email: chris@chrisfrome.com

Welcome to the mfX research group!
We are a large computational group at the University of Edinburgh investigating a range of multiscale flow problems that target important engineering challenges of the 21st century in health, transport, water and energy. Our research spans fundamental engineering science at the nano/micro/meso/macro scales, multiscale method development, highly parallel software development that run on supercomputers, and industry-focused engineering applications.
Examples of our recent work include: non-equilibrium gas transport through porous media for safer oil/gas reservoir management; nano/micro bubble cavitation dynamics for disease targeting; nano/micro-engineered surfaces with improved performance (e.g. anti-icing, marine drag reduction, nanotube water filtration membranes, evaporating cooling nanopipes); liquid-surface damage analysis; granular and pedestrian flow predictions.
We actively collaborate with researchers from the UK and around the world, and engage with various industrial companies to adapt our techniques for their problems.

Regulators should work together on certifying Boeing 737 MAX: IATA's de Juniac
Regulators should work together in recertifying the grounded Boeing 737 MAX airliner instead of pursuing separate approval processes, the head of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Tuesday.
KUWAIT: Regulators should work together in recertifying the grounded Boeing 737 MAX airliner instead of pursuing separate approval processes, the head of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) said on Tuesday.
"For us, it's a big, big, big mistake. Because we have built the safety of this industry on the single certification decision and the mutual recognition and it has worked very well," IATA boss Alexandre de Juniac told Reuters in an interview in Kuwait.
Some international regulators have said they plan to conduct they own checks and not simply follow the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) should it recertify the plane.
The U.S. FAA has traditionally taken the lead in certifying Boeing aircraft, but two fatal crashes in Indonesia and Ethiopia involving the Boeing 737 MAX have sparked criticism of the FAA's oversight and its close links with the U.S. planemaker.
"If you want to restore the confidence ... we need to come back to this single, mutual recognition which has been so efficient," de Juniac.
Any changes to the certification process should be made jointly and transparently by regulators, he said.
Otherwise, he said there was a risk that discrepancies could emerge if regulators followed different procedures, making the process more complex, increasing costs, and potentially less safe because of the lack of unanimity.
Boeing’s top-selling jet was grounded in March following the two crashes which killed all 346 people aboard.
Boeing is updating flight control software at the center of both crashes. This must be approved by regulators before the plane can fly commercially again.
The planemaker has said it aims to return the 737 MAX to service by the end of 2019 after making software changes.
The MAX could return to service in Europe during the first quarter of 2020, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) said on Monday.

Cinema Uprising by Steve Evans
The Astronaut's Wife Written and directed by: Rand Ravich. Starring Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, Joe Morton, Nick Cassavettes and Blair Brown.
The pitch: Rosemary's Baby meets E.T. in this trashy exploitation flick apparently designed to scare the bejabbers out of pregnant women and bore everyone else.
Affecting a suthern accent, a bleach-blond Depp sleepwalks his way through the role of a shuttle astronaut who, while orbiting Earth, loses contact with NASA for two minutes. He returns to Florida…a changed man.
His wife, the lovely but bland Theron, senses something is wrong, even though she faithfully returns to her teaching job each day at the local elementary school. But all is not well. Depp's fellow crewman, Cassavettes, drops dead a week later at a party as his wife stares in horror. Did something happen to the astronauts during those two minutes of silence in space?  [Side note Part I: Cassavettes apparently needed some quick cash to get on with his successful career as an independent filmmaker. He's following in his dad's footsteps. The late John Cassavettes also starred, from time to time, in some equally cheesy, low-rent movies (check out Two Minute Warning) to pay the bills in between his own independent projects. Side note Part II: this basic storyline was handled with much more suspense in I Married a Monster From Outer Space (1955).]
Okay. At Cinema Uprising we would never reveal key plot points in a good movie: By the end of Act I, Cassavettes' wife commits suicide, which does little to reassure Theron. Unfazed by all the sudden death, Depp picks the only sensible solution that can propel the plot – he quits his NASA job for a gig with a major engineering firm, packs up his wife, cuts out of Florida and moves to New York. This worries Theron even more, since she did the same thing with Keanu Reeves two years ago in The Devil's Advocate. In his new job, Depp designs amazingly complex aircraft for a military contract, raking in scads of green money.  Next thing we know, Theron is taking a pregnancy test in the restroom stall at her new school. (As any would-be parent knows, those tests are supposed to be taken first thing in the morning. Or did Mrs. Astronaut drive all the way to work just to pee?)
Does it matter? Yes. In a movie already swollen with improbabilities, the incorrect administration of a pregnancy test might seem like a minor sin, but we beg to differ.  Worse, we're appalled that a film would dare to exploit a woman's greatest fear – that she might give birth to Webster.
Theron doesn't have it quite so bad. The poor woman eventually gloms to the fact that she's carrying twins. And Depp seems to take a preternaturally unusual interest in their safety. One of Depp's former NASA associates tries to warn the expectant mommy that she's carrying a heap o' trouble, times two. Problem is, the doomsayer is played by Joe Morton, a character actor who gets killed in practically all his movies. Who's going to believe him?
Stoned, sedentary or fast asleep, The Astronaut's Wife is still a space cadet.
Rated R for language and uncomfortable-looking sex.

This class focuses on hot topics in Operating Systems. We will discuss classic papers in the area as well as cutting-edge research. We will discuss classic papers in the area as well as cutting-edge research. We will explore new ideas through projects and improve skills in presentations, critical thinking, systems and security programming, and creativity. The class format will consist of lectures, student presentations, guest lectures, and class project presentations.
The prerequisite for this class is undergraduate operating systems. Some of the topics we will explore are: kernels, security, reliability and finding bugs, and distributed systems.
Lectures
You are responsible for knowing about all announcements made in lecture. We will discuss expectations about the project, suggestions for how to succeed, and grading guidelines in class, and general class policy issues, so make sure you don't miss any lectures.
Readings, postings, and class participation
A major part of this course will be reading, analyzing, and discussing papers. We will cover one or two papers per lecture typically. Required readings for each class are posted on the class web site. For each required paper, your assignment is to read the paper carefully before the lecture and to post on the course newsgroup an insight or question about this paper. A good model is the comments and question that take place after someone presents a paper at a research conference. The postings can take many forms, for example, you could post any of the following:
- What you appreciated about the paper
- Where you felt the paper fell short
- Future work that the paper inspired you to think of
- Questions about the meaning of a section of the paper
- Comparisons between the paper and another paper or approach for the same problem
- Relationship between the problem being attacked in this paper and another problem
- How the paper relates to another paper or approach
- Speculation about how the author's idea would apply in a new situation
- Something you wished the author had addressed
- Assumptions in the paper that you disagree with and how you think different assumptions would affect the outcome
- Answering another student's question or following up on another student's comments
Your posting need not be long; the ideal is a few thought-provoking sentences. You should submit your posting to Piazza no later than 11:59pm on the day before we discuss the paper. These postings aren't graded, but I do expect students to participate.
Participating in the in-class discussions on each paper is an important part of the class. Lively participation by the entire class will help us all understand the material better and have more fun in the process.
Class discussions
In class we will discuss the papers in two different phases. First, we will break into small groups (3-4 students) to discuss the papers for 10-15 minutes before we break into larger groups. This small group discussion will be guided by a set of questions given to you at the beginning of each class.
Optional textbook
Some of the papers cover distributed systems, and if you're looking for a text book to help with some of the background material, please see this online book (CC-BY-SA license) by James Aspnes that gives good coverage of the background material, including Paxos.

| Class Summary | |
|---|---|
| ExtensionModule | An extension module is a class responsible for providing a list of meta methods to the Groovy compiler and runtime. |
| ExtensionModuleRegistry | The extension method registry is responsible for collecting methods (or static methods) which are added to existing classes and may be called like regular methods. |
| ExtensionModuleScanner | A module extension scanner is responsible for searching classpath modules, loading metadata from module descriptors, then perform custom tasks for each module. |
| MetaInfExtensionModule | A SimpleExtensionModule implementation which reads extension classes metadata from META-INF. |
| PropertiesModuleFactory | This is the base class for classes responsible for creating modules using properties. |
| SimpleExtensionModule | An extension module which provides extension methods using a DefaultGroovyMethods-like implementation, that is to say using static methods defined in an "extension class". |
| StandardPropertiesModuleFactory | This is the standard Groovy module factory. |
