Section 19 Conditional quantiles
19.1 Background
Conditional quantiles are a very useful way of considering model performance against observations for continuous measurements (Wilks 2005). The conditional quantile plot splits the data into evenly spaced bins. For each predicted value bin e.g. from 0 to 10 ppb the corresponding values of the observations are identified and the median, 25/75th and 10/90 percentile (quantile) calculated for that bin. The data are plotted to show how these values vary across all bins. For a time series of observations and predictions that agree precisely the median value of the predictions will equal that for the observations for each bin.
The conditional quantile plot differs from the quantile-quantile plot (Q-Q plot) that is often used to compare observations and predictions. A Q-Q~plot separately considers the distributions of observations and predictions, whereas the conditional quantile uses the corresponding observations for a particular interval in the predictions. Take as an example two time series, the first a series of real observations and the second a lagged time series of the same observations representing the predictions. These two time series will have identical (or very nearly identical) distributions (e.g. same median, minimum and maximum). A Q-Q plot would show a straight line showing perfect agreement, whereas the conditional quantile will not. This is because in any interval of the predictions the corresponding observations now have different values.
Plotting the data in this way shows how well predictions agree with observations and can help reveal many useful characteristics of how well model predictions agree with observations — across the full distribution of values. A single plot can therefore convey a considerable amount of information concerning model performance. The basic function is considerably enhanced by allowing flexible conditioning easily e.g. to evaluate model performance by season, day of the week and so on, as in other openair functions.
To make things more interesting we will use data from a model evaluation exercise organised by Defra in 2010/2011. Many models were evaluated but we only consider hourly ozone predictions from the CMAQ model being used at King’s College London.
First the data are loaded:
load("~/My Drive/openair/Data/CMAQozone.RData")
class(CMAQ.KCL$date) <- c("POSIXct", "POSIXt")
head(CMAQ.KCL)

## 6 Aston.Hill 2006-01-01 05:00:00 66 NA 92.28 NA CMAQ.KCL
The data consists of hourly observations of O3 in μg m-3 at 15 rural O3 sites in the UK together with predicted values.7 First, we consider O3 predictions across all sites to help illustrate the purpose of the function. The results are shown in Figure 19.1. An explanation of the Figure is given in its caption.
conditionalQuantile(CMAQ.KCL, obs = "o3", mod = "mod")
A more informative analysis can be undertaken by considering
conditional quantiles separately by site, which is easily done using
the type
option. The results are shown in Figure
19.2. It is now easier to see where the model
performs best and how it varies by site type. For example, at a remote
site in Scotland like Strath Vaich it is clear that the model does not
capture either the lowest or highest O3 concentrations very well.
conditionalQuantile(CMAQ.KCL, obs = "o3", mod = "mod", type = "site")
As with other openair functions, the ability to consider conditioning
can really help with interpretation. For example, what do the
conditional quantiles at Lullington Heath (in south-east England) look
like by season? This is easily done by subsetting the data to select
that site and setting type = "season"
, as shown in Figure
19.3. These results show that winter
predictions have good coverage i.e. with width of the blue `perfect
model’ line is the same as the observations. However, the predictions
tend to be somewhat lower than observations for most concentrations
(the median line is below the blue line) — and the width of the
10/75th and 10/90th percentiles is quite broad. However, the area
where the model is less good is in summer and autumn because the
predictions have low coverage (the red line only covers less than half
of the observation line and the width of the percentiles is wide).
Of course, it is also easy to plot by hour of the day, day of the week, by daylight/nighttime and so on — easily. All these approaches can help better understand why a model does not perform very well rather than just quantifying its performance. Also, these types of analysis are particularly useful when more than one model is involved in a comparison as in the recent Defra model evaluation exercise, which we will come back to later when some results are published.
conditionalQuantile(subset(CMAQ.KCL, site == "Lullington.Heath"),
obs = "o3",
mod = "mod", type = "season")
19.2 Conditional evaluation
There are numerous ways in which model performance can be assessed, including the use of common statistical measures described in Section 20. These approaches are very useful for comparing models against observations and other models. However, model developers would generally like to know why a model may have poor performance under some situations. This is a much more challenging issue to address. However, useful information can be gained by considering how other variables vary simultaneously.
The conditionalEval
function provides information on how other
variables vary across the same intervals as shown on the
conditional quantile plot. There are two types of variable that can be
considered by setting the value of statistic
. First,
statistic
can be another variable in the data frame. In this case
the plot will show the different proportions of statistic
across
the range of predictions. For example statistic = "season"
will
show for each interval of mod
the proportion of predictions that
were spring, summer, autumn or winter. This is useful because if model
performance is worse for example at high concentrations of mod
then knowing that these tend to occur during a particular season
etc. can be very helpful when trying to understand why a model
fails. See Section 22.2 for more details on the types of
variable that can be statistic
. Another example would be
statistic = "ws"
(if wind speed were available in the data
frame), which would then split wind speed into four quantiles and plot
the proportions of each. Again, this would help show whether model
performance in predicting concentrations of O3 for example is
related to low to high wind speed conditions.
conditionalEval
can also simultaneously plot the model
performance of other observed/predicted variable pairs
according to different model evaluation statistics. These statistics
derive from the Section 20 function and include MB,
NMB, r, COE, MGE, NMGE, RMSE
and FAC2. More than one statistic can be supplied
e.g. statistic = c("NMB", "COE")
. Bootstrap samples are taken
from the corresponding values of other variables to be plotted and
their statistics with 95% confidence intervals calculated. In this
case, the model performance of other variables is shown across
the same intervals of mod
, rather than just the values of single
variables. In this second case the model would need to provide
observed/predicted pairs of other variables.
For example, a model may provide predictions of NOx and wind speed
(for which there are also observations available). The
conditionalEval
function will show how well these other variables
are predicted for the same prediction intervals of the main
variable assessed in the conditional quantile plot e.g. ozone. In this
case, values are supplied to var.obs
(observed values for other
variables) and var.mod
(modelled values for other variables). For
example, to consider how well the model predicts NOx and wind speed
var.obs = c("nox.obs", "ws.obs")
and var.mod = c("nox.mod", "ws.mod")
would be supplied (assuming nox.obs, nox.mod, ws.obs, ws.mod
are present in the data frame). The analysis could show for
example, when ozone concentrations are under-predicted, the model may
also be shown to over-predict concentrations of NOx at the same time,
or under-predict wind speeds. Such information can thus help identify
the underlying causes of poor model performance. For example, an
under-prediction in wind speed could result in higher surface NOx
concentrations and lower ozone concentrations. Similarly if wind speed
predictions were good and NOx was over predicted it might suggest an
over-estimate of NOx emissions. One or more additional variables can
be plotted.
A special case is statistic = "cluster"
. In this case a data
frame is provided that contains the cluster calculated by
trajCluster
and importTraj
. Alternatively users could supply
their own pre-calculated clusters. These calculations can be very
useful in showing whether certain back trajectory clusters are
associated with poor (or good) model performance. Note that in the
case of statistic = "cluster"
there will be fewer data points
used in the analysis compared with the ordinary statistics above
because the trajectories are available for every three hours. Also
note that statistic = "cluster"
cannot be used together with the
ordinary model evaluation statistics such as MB. The output
will be a bar chart showing the proportion of each interval of
mod
by cluster number.
Far more insight can be gained into model performance through
conditioning using type
. For example, type = "season"
will plot conditional quantiles and the associated model
performance statistics of other variables by each
season. type
can also be a factor or character field
e.g. representing different models used.
As an example, similar data to that described above from CMAQ have been used as an example.
A subset of the data for the North Kensington site can be imported as shown below.

The conditionalEval
function can be used straightforwardly to
provide information on how predictions depend on another variable in
general. In this case the option statistic
can refer to another
variable in the data frame to see how the quality of predictions
depend on values of that variable. For example, in Figure
19.4 it can be seen how wind speed varies across the
O3 prediction intervals. At low predicted concentrations of O3
there is a high proportion of low wind speed conditions (0 to 2.57
m s-1). When O3 is predicted to be around 40 ppb the wind speed
tends to be higher — and finally at higher predicted concentrations
of O3 the wind speed tends to decrease again. The important aspect
of plotting data in this way is that it can directly relate the
prediction performance to values of other variables, which should help
develop a much better idea of the conditions that matter most. The
user can therefore develop a good feel for the types of conditions
where a model performs well or poorly and this might provide clues as
to the underlying reasons for specific model behaviour.
conditionalEval(condDat, obs = "O3.obs", mod = "O3.mod",
statistic = "ws.obs",
col.var = "Set3")
In an extension to Figure19.4 it is possible to derive
information on the simultaneous model performance of other
variables. Figure 19.5 shows the conditional quantile plot
for hourly O3 predictions. This shows among other things that
concentrations of O3 tend to be under-predicted for concentrations
less than about 20 ppb. The Figure on the right shows the simultaneous
model performance for wind speed and NOx for the same
prediction intervals as shown in the conditional quantile plot. The
plot on the right shows that for low concentrations of predicted
O3 there is a tendency for NOx concentrations to be overestimated
(NMB \(\approx\) 0.2 to 0.4) and wind speeds to be underestimated
(NMB \(\approx\) -0.2 to -0.3). One possible explanation for this behaviour
is that the meteorological model tends to produce wind speeds that are
too low, which would result in higher concentrations of NOx, which in
turn would result in lower concentrations of O3. Note that it is
possible to include more than one statistic, which would be plotted in
a new panel e.g. statistic = c("NMB", "r")
.
In essence the conditionalEval
function provides more information
on model performance that can help better diagnose potential
problems. Clearly, there are many other ways in which the results can
be analysed, which will depend on the data available.
conditionalEval(condDat, obs = "O3.obs", mod = "O3.mod",
var.obs = c("NOx.obs", "ws.obs"),
var.mod = c("NOx.mod", "ws.mod"),
statistic = "NMB",
var.names = c("nox", "wind speed"))
A plot using temperature predictions shows that for most of the range in O3 predictions there is very little bias in temperature (although there is some negative bias in temperature for very low concentration O3 predictions):
conditionalEval(condDat, obs = "O3.obs", mod = "O3.mod",
var.obs = c("temp.obs", "ws.obs"),
var.mod = c("temp.mod", "ws.mod"),
statistic = "NMB", var.names = c("temperature", "wind speed"))
Finally, (but not shown) it can be very useful to consider model
performance in terms of air mass origin. In the example below,
trajectories are imported, a cluster analysis undertaken and then
evaluated using conditionalEval
.
## import trajectories for 2006
<- importTraj("london", 2006)
traj
## carry out a cluster analysis
<- trajCluster(traj, method = "Angle", n.cluster = 5)
cl
## merge with orginal model eval data
<- merge(condDat, cl, by = "date")
condDat
## plot it
conditionalEval(condDat, obs = "O3.obs", mod = "O3.mod",
statistic = "cluster",
col.var = "Set3")

FEMALE PERVERSIONS A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1997 Steve Rhodes
RATING (0 TO ****): ***
Its title, FEMALE PERVERSIONS, almost guarantees that most people will write off the film as a soft porn exploitation flick. Those who do see it for cheap thrills will probably be disappointed. But those viewers expecting thought provoking material, will not be.
Although the film opened to uniformly good reviews, first-time director Susan Streitfeld had difficulty obtaining financing for it. She wanted to make a sexually explicit film about the perversions women are forced into by society and about the unlocking of the erotic chains for women. She succeeds in one of the more provocative films in a year already filled with them (KISSED, CRASH, FETISHES, and RIPE to name a few).
Evelyn "Eve" Stevens, played with explosive power by Tilda Swinton, is an accomplished and hard driving attorney, who has a tremendous sexual appetite as well as a troubled childhood that haunts her every action. Eve's bravado will likely shock many viewers. One moment she is on her way to an interview with the Governor for a judgeship, and the next she is off for a bizarre erotic tryst with her male friend John (Clancy Brown), where she makes sure that his office door is unlocked to increase her thrill factor. A constant dabbler in things sexual, Eve has a lesbian affair with Renee (Karen Sillas), the new doctor in her building.
What makes the film sad and troubling are the nightmares which Eve has day and night. Although they relate back to some incident with her father, they seem much broader in context. To reinforce this notion are numerous sayings written on everything from pillow embroidery to billboard signs. ("Perversions are never what they seem to be." "In a perversion, there is no freedom, only a rigid conformity to stereotype." "Perversion scenarios are about desperate need.")
Eve's actions in the film can only be examined within the context of her trying to break the bonds of what society expects of her. Although she gets great satisfaction from her secret life outside of her profession, she is the source of constant criticism from her nightmare images. ("Nothing about you is genuine.  The more successful she becomes, the more she has self-doubts.
Society seems fixated on Eve's sexuality, which troubles her. When she delivers an argument in court, we see the males mentally undressing her. In her interview with the governor she becomes obsessed with a loose thread on her skirt.
Amy Madigan plays Eve's sister Madelyn. Madelyn, with her casual, rugged clothes, looks like someone who might work at a health food store. Her image is quite a contrast to Eve's tight fitting professional image with her suits, pancake makeup, and bright lipstick. Madelyn is a kleptomaniac -- "I steal to stop me from killing myself" -- who is about to defend her Ph.D. thesis at UCLA. The two sisters, who appear on the surface to be polar opposites, actually share many traits.
This complex and troubling show, which covers much wider territory that it might seem, ends abruptly. The confusion left in the viewer's mind appears intentional. A richly textured movie that demands a second viewing to comprehend it all. But the film has such intensity that most will be reluctant to sit through it again. Still, the journey the picture takes you on is enlightening.
FEMALE PERVERSIONS runs 1:59.  I think the film should have been rated NC-17, and I do not think it is appropriate for teenagers. I recommend the film to adults willing to explore troubling ground and give the movie ***.
**** = A must see film. *** = Excellent show. Look for it. ** = Average movie. Kind of enjoyable. * = Poor show. Don't waste your money. 0 = Totally and painfully unbearable picture.

How to play Fives
Objective: Strategically use 10 guesses, each a valid five letter word, to find eliminate letters in search of a five letter word.For each guess, the number of "right letters in the wrong place" (rlwp) and "right letters in the right place" (rlrp) are given.

A letter is rlwp if it appears in both words, but in different spots (for example, the word you've guessed starts with an "f", but the word you're guessing ends in an "f". Both words have an "f", but they appear in different spots in the words).
Example: The word is "yield" and the guess is "tired". "e" appears in the word and the guess, but in different places, so rlwp is 1. "i" and "d" are in the same places in the word and the guess, so rlrp is 2.
Practice (Easy) mode:
- Computer picks the word for the player(s) to guess.
- Letters in the right place are highlighted green and letters in the wrong place (but in the word) are highlighted yellow. No numbers are given.
- Computer picks the word for the player(s) to guess.
- The number of rlwp and rlrp are shown to the side of each guess. No highlighting.
- Same rules as classic mode except you are allowed 15 guesses.
- Objective is to solve the word in the least amount of time.
- Same rules as classic mode.
- One player picks the word and the remaining player(s) try to guess it.

DjangoCon Africa will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the first time ever, made up of Django practitioners from all levels. We welcome people from all over the world. Our conference seeks to educate and develop new skills, best practices and ideas for the benefit of attendees, developers, speakers and everyone in our global Django Community, not least those watching the talks online.
Ethiopia is a country in North East of Africa, commonly known as the Horn of Africa. It is a country with a rich history and many historical places to visit.

Basic setup
At best start from a fresh conda
/ mamba
environment and make sure the setuptools
package (usually is) as well as the twine
package (usually is not) are available. If not then simply type,
pip install setuptools
pip install twine
Make a distribution
Two steps to making a source distribution (the file which you will upload to PyPI later).
First, check if your setup.py
file provides all necessary meta-data to make PyPI happy. Run this check with,
python setup.py check
If no errors are raise, then proceed with creating the source distribution,
python setup sdist
This will create (if not available) a dist
folder and a tar.gz
file with a file name roughly like packagename-version.tar.gz
.
Test upload
We can now test-run an upload to PyPI via the TestPyPI server (Test Python Package Index).
To upload our just-created source distribution, we will type the following in the terminal.
twine upload --repository-url hhtps://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/packagename-version.tar.gz
Test install
To test-run an install from TestPyPI, we type,
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ packagename --user
One may run into issues with dependencies, in which case the extra argument --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple
can (it did in my case) help.
The full command in this case:
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ packagename --user
The real thing
If the test install suceeded (consider trying it in fresh conda / mamba environments across a few python versions), we can now confidently upload our distribution to to PyPI. Simply type,
twine upload dist/packagename-version.tar.gz
You will be asked for your username and password. Once the upload finished, you can try installing your package via the standard pip install
command like so,
pip install packagename

Dirty Bombs for Peace
Washington Post | Submitted by: Gutter Juice
The Energy Department is now reporting that "small" amounts of radioactive
material that was shipped to our allies (Iran, Vietnam, and other countries
to promote Atoms for Peace) is missing. Is it enough to make a big one?
Not to worry, claim the big-nit-wits who say only a few thousand can
be killed by a dirty nuke.

"A human leg found in Harvey has been identified as that of a man who was killed with his wife in a train-vehicle collision about 700 miles to the south, in Mississippi, authorities said. A boot recovered with the leg in Harvey
Illinois matched that of a boot found on the manís body in Mississippi."
Is there even enough "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS" tape for something like this?

Student suspended because coat smells like pot
CBC | Submitted by: Indego
"An Ottawa-area high school suspended a student on Tuesday because his
jacket smelled like pot. Chris Laurin, 15, was sent home and told not to
come back to St. Matthew Catholic High School in Orleans for two days
after a police dog zeroed in on his winter coat... Police and school
officials ordered the boy's pockets emptied and searched his locker. They
found nothing, but the principal decided to suspend him anyway under
the board's safe schools policy."

Boy went on whiskey binge
Denver Post | Submitted by: Ryano
"The [11 year old] boy's blood-alcohol content was 0.32 percent when he
was tested at the hospital, or more than three times the legal threshold
for drunken driving... "I've seen an awful lot of drunk kids," said Guy
Bull, an Aurora firefighter and paramedic who opened the boy's airway.
"But that kid at that age was the drunkest I've seen in my life.
That was out of control."

Priest Shegfield:
I already told you about the fate of the Cruma. Your search is in vain, adventurer. I advise you turn your feet onto another path.


Variables can be declared in a number of different ways in XOCL:
As attributes on classes (and packages)
As local variables
Using a binding (not described here)
We have already seen attribute declarations.
Local variables are declared using the let expression. The syntax of a let expression is as follows:
let var_name_1 = expression_1; var_name_2 = expression _2 in body end
Variable declarations are seperated by semicolons. They can be referenced by any expression in the body of the let expression. As an example, the following let expression introduces three variables x,y,z into an expression:
let x = 1; y = 2; z = 3 in x + y + z end
Variable declarations cannot normally reference each other unless they are in the body of another let expression. However, the "then" expression provides a convenient way of permitting this:
let x = 1; y = 2 then c = x + y in c + z end


Psalm 50
A psalm of Asaph.
1 The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, has spoken
and called the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God has shone.
3 Our God comes and does not stay silent;
a fire devours before him,
and it is very stormy around him.
4 He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth so that he may judge his people:
5 "Gather my faithful ones together to me,
those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 The heavens will declare his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.
Selah
7 "Hear, my people, and I will speak;
I am God, your God.
8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices;
your burnt offerings are always before me.
9 I will take no bull out of your house,
or male goats out of your folds.
10 For every beast of the forest is mine,
and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know all the birds of the mountains,
and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you;
for the world is mine, and everything in it.
13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?
14 Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
and pay your vows to the Most High.
15 Call on me in the day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you will glorify me."

But I will reprove you and bring up, right before your eyes, all the things you have done.
22 Now consider this, you who forget God;
otherwise I will tear you in pieces, and there will be no one to come to help you:
23 Whoever offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving praises me,
and to anyone who plans his path in the right way
I will show God's salvation."

Class: Concurrent::ErlangActor::Pid
- Inherits:
-
Synchronization::Object
- Object
- Synchronization::Object
- Concurrent::ErlangActor::Pid
- Defined in:
- lib-edge/concurrent/edge/erlang_actor.rb
Overview
The public reference of the actor which can be stored and passed around. Nothing else of the actor should be exposed. Functions#spawn_actor and Environment#spawn return the pid.
Instance Method Summary collapse
-
#ask(message, timeout = nil, timeout_value = nil) ⇒ Object, timeout_value
The actor is asked the message and blocks until a reply is available, which is returned by the method.
-
#ask_op(message, probe = Promises.resolvable_future) ⇒ Promises::Future(Object)
Same as #tell but represented as a Promises::Future.
-
#name ⇒ #to_s, nil
Optional name of the actor.
-
#tell(message, timeout = nil) ⇒ self, true, false
The actor is asynchronously told a message.
-
#tell_op(message) ⇒ Promises::Future(self)
Same as #tell but represented as a Promises::Future.
-
#terminated ⇒ Promises::Future
A future which is resolved with the final result of the actor that is either the reason for termination or a value if terminated normally.
-
#to_s ⇒ String
(also: #inspect)
String representation.
Instance Method Details
#ask(message, timeout = nil, timeout_value = nil) ⇒ Object, timeout_value
The actor is asked the message and blocks until a reply is available, which is returned by the method. If the reply is a rejection then the methods raises it.
If the actor does not call Environment#reply or Environment#reply_resolution the method will raise NoReply error. If the actor is terminated it will raise NoActor. Therefore the ask is never left unanswered and blocking.

99 100 101 |
# File 'lib-edge/concurrent/edge/erlang_actor.rb', line 99 def name @Name end |
#tell(message, timeout = nil) ⇒ self, true, false
The actor is asynchronously told a message. The method returns immediately unless the actor has bounded mailbox and there is no more space for the message. Then the method blocks current thread until there is space available. This is useful for backpressure.

This is a copy of kotlin's require function.
It validates the condition you give it and if it's false will throw an IllegalArgumentException.
See examples for more
// You can name this anything you want, I like "expect" since it fits the package name.
// You can even name it require just like kotlin (only if you don't use node's require function)
import expect from "@pepijn98/kitai";
function test(arg: number): void {
expect(arg >= 0, () => `"arg" cannot be a negative number, was ${arg}`);
// We now know that arg will not be a negative number
// Do your extremly complex 9000 IQ mathematical equation here
}
test(-5); // Will throw an IllegalArgumentException
test(15); // Won't throw, yaay
Since it's a Japanese name I guess I should explain this, even though I don't speak Japanese and use translators.
Kitai written as 期待 in kanji, roughly means "Expectations" or "Expectation"
(directly taken from google translate and deepl, please excuse my ignorance if it's completly wrong)

for-in
Loops
We've seen how to iterate over an array's elements using
a for
loop. We can also use JavaScript's
for-in
loop syntax.
for (var index = 0; index < myArray.length; ++index) { var arrayElement = myArray[index]; // ... } for (var index in myArray) { var arrayElement = myArray[index]; // ... }
Both forms will iterate over the array, but the for-in
syntax will avoid iterating elements that are undefined.
var myArray = []; myArray[4] = "Hello"; myArray[7] = ", John!"; for (var index in myArray) { var arrayElement = myArray[index]; document.write(arrayElement); } // Outputs "Hello, John!"
The for-in
syntax can also be used to iterate
over object properties.
var myObject = { firstName: "John", lastName: "Smith" }; for (var propertyName in myObject) { var propertyValue = myObject[propertyName]; document.write(propertyName + " = " + propertyValue + "
"); } // Outputs "firstName = John
lastName = Smith


Urban Outfitters blames tariffs after 18% surge in inventory
by Crayton HarrisonUrban Outfitters Inc., the hipster apparel and gifts retailer, said the threat of tariffs forced it to receive items early from suppliers last quarter, contributing to an 18 per cent jump in its inventory on the books.
The increase, by US$79.9 million, was part of a disappointing quarter with flat sales in stores open more than a year in the U.S. company’s flagship chain. Urban Outfitters shares dove 12 per cent in late trading.
The retailer said the inventory buildup was also due to expectations for sales growth in the holiday season and an increase in its wholesale business.
The results add to an ugly day for retailer stocks, with Home Depot Inc. and Kohl’s Corp. turning in sales numbers that fell short of analysts’ estimates. Investors are wary of any sign that consumers are refraining from spending heading into the crucial holiday season.

Description
FeedEater is a small library (https://github.com/Suitey/FeedEater) I wrote at TripleMint that we use to manage the interface between data sources with disparate formats and our DB. This talk runs through the basic principles involved and shows how the pieces fit together. If you are interested in Python metaprogramming but have never been able to see how to use it practically, this is a good example of using it in the real world.

First Woman Pilot of Indian Navy to Join Operations in Kochi on December 2
The first woman pilot, Lieutenant Shivangi, will join naval operations on completion of operational training in Kochi.
First woman pilot of the Indian Navy will join Naval operations in Kochi on December 2, two days ahead of Navy Day on December 4, a Defence source said on Thursday.
The first woman pilot, Lieutenant Shivangi, will join naval operations on completion of operational training in Kochi on December 2.
“Shivangi will graduate to become the first female Pilot of Indian Navy. She hails from Muzzafarpur, Bihar and completed her schooling from DAV Public school, Muzzafarpur,” the source told PTI.
She was inducted into the Indian Navy as SSC (Pilot) as part of 27 NOC course in Indian Naval Academy, Ezhimala and got formally commissioned by Vice Admiral AK Chawla, in June last year.
The Navy’s Aviation branch has had women officers operating as air traffic control officers and as ‘observers’ in the aircraft who are responsible for communication and weapons, the source said.
Shivangi, who had been undergoing training at the Southern Naval Command in Kochi, will get authorisation on December 2 to fly Dornier aircraft.
The Navy will have its first woman pilot trained by Navy to make the first cockpit entry on December 2, the source said without elaborating.

Basic premise here was to build a quick minimal way to find out if a Twitch streamer is live and pull some simple data about them and the channel. I just wanted something easy to put on a friend's site, and couldn't find anything so I made this.
I'm acutely aware my JS skills aren't awesome; therefore if there are any performance or other improvements to be made by you genius JS devs.. feel free to open an Issue or drop a Pull Request.

A Pokémon Go Tutorial
Basics
- The game is about collecting Pokemon. In later stages of the game you fight them against other Pokemon.
- When you start you can pick between three Pokemon; if you don’t select one of them and you walk away from your starting location 4 times, Pikachu will appear and you’ll get him.
  You then own that Pokemon (unless he escapes).
- The easiest way to do this is to lob the ball up into the air (pushing your finger up quickly) to throw the ball in the air so it lands on its head
- When you capture a Pokemon you get two things: Stardust and Candy. Stardust is like a universal resource, but the Candy you get is specific to the Pokemon you caught.
- You use Stardust and Candy to level-up or evolve your Pokemon later in the game.
Moving around
- Blue Circles are Pokestops, which are around landmarks and restaurants and such. When you click on one, and you see the circle, spin it from side to side and stuff will drop out of it. These refresh every few minutes so you can come back later.
- The items that drop out of Pokestops can be used later when you do combat between your Pokemon and other peoples’ in Gyms
Finding and catching Pokemon
- As you move around you will see lots of different icons on the map. If you see rustling in the grass, that’s likely a Pokemon that’s about to jump out. Get ready to catch it.
- If you pull up your Nearby map (bottom right), you’ll see a list of shadows representing nearby Pokemon.
- The Pokemon closest to you are in the top left of the map, and they have no footprints under them. The ones with two or three footprints are further away (more steps to get them).
- As you walk around, you can watch that map. If you see something with no footprints, they’re extremely close to you and you should look for it and catch it.
Advancing your Pokemon
- Feed your Pokemon Stardust and their type of Candy to make them more powerful, which will increase their CP.
- It gets increasingly more difficult to raise their CP level.
- CP level helps you defeat other Pokemon in combat.
Combat
- The advanced part of the game starts at level 5 when you can join a team and enter Gyms.
- Gyms are the giant spinny skyscraper looking things that you see on the map, usually with a Pokemon on the top of it.
- Combat is between your Pokemon and Pokemon from the opposing team.
- You do combat with other Pokemon by tapping quickly on the screen.
- You swipe side to side to dodge.
- You press and hold to do your special attack.
- In general, the stronger Pokemon will win, but if you don’t dodge and attack you can still lose to a weaker creature.
- Gray Gyms are not owned by anyone. You can enter a Pokemon there and take control of it for your team, but it’ll likely get removed by a stronger force relatively soon.
- If a Gym is colored, that color represents the team that has control of it.
- Teamwork is a good thing for the combat.
- After combat you will need to refresh your Pokemon with potions and other items.
- Your Pokemons’ CP is its Combat Power, and they go up by feeding it Candy.
- When you battle to take over a Gym you have to knock down the prestige level of the opposing team that owns the Gym.
- Once you get their prestige down to 0, you have to enter your own Pokemon there or else someone might steal the Gym you just earned.
Special items
- At higher level you will get GreatBalls and UltraBalls that will make it easier to catch them.
- You can also get Rasberries to feed difficult Pokemon so they’re easier to catch (after you make them your friend). :(
- You can use Incense to attract Pokemon to your location for like half an hour.
- You can also create Lures that bring in mad Pokemon to a specific area. Other people will see the Lure and will come there as well, so be ready.
- Eggs magnify your experience for capturing Pokemon.
Advanced
- There are advanced ways to throw Pokeballs.
- If you click and hold the Pokeball, you’ll see the rings appear around the Pokemon.
- The rings around the Pokemon are the area you have to hit with your Pokeball to capture the Pokemon.  The rings actually move within each other–the inside and outside. When the inside ring is perfectly centered inside the outer one, that’s when you make the most points. If it’s off-center, you make fewer.
- The points are 100 for regular, 50 for close to center, and 100 for the rings being centered.
- As Pokemon get higher level the rings get smaller and smaller, and they change color.
- The circles are green when they’re easy, yellow when hard, and red when really hard.
- For advanced targeting at high levels, wait until the Pokemon stops its move routine before you land your shot. It should be landing right as it finishes its movement.
- Capturing these get increasingly difficult as they go up in level, and they also get harder to keep in the balls.
- The in-game way to earn currency (Pokecoins) is in the Gym, but you can also purchase them through micro payments.
Notes and tips
- Consider buying a battery pack. It’ll be super helpful if you’re out and about and run low on power.
- Like I said in the text, be sure to watch yourself when exploring strange places. Have buddies. Make sure there are people around. Etc.
- I’ll be adding more advanced tips soon!


Why Programming
With my intrests in both the programming and aviation field, I was intrested in knowing how towrite code. With the necessary skills to program I would be able to create a system with intergrated with drones and introduce a drone delivery system here in Kenya. The drone system would depend on the public tranport system for docking and charging.

If I'm talking to Paul about how much money he owes me (for the 19th time), I could pull out my handy dandy Money Owed list, and read it off to him.
"Hey Paul. You owe me money. $50 for dinner on Friday, $26 for drinks on Saturday, $80 for doing your homework*, $32 for Tacos on Tuesday, and $43 for margaritas at Taco Tuesday."
*I'm smarter than Paul, and need to make some money. Don't judge.
Going through the items on my list one by one is the same thing as enumerating through them. The Enumerable module in Ruby is one of the coolest, because it allows you to go through each of the items in a collection and do something to them. If, for example, I want to enumerate through my money owed list and print out a hardcopy for Paul, I can do this:
See that .each method that I'm using on my hash? It means that I'm going through each one of the items in my list and puts-ing them out. If you can use the .each method on your list, you can use a method from the enumerable module.
If you want to take a look at all the methods available to you through the enumerable module, take a look at the Ruby Docs. They can be a little overwhelming, so I'll go through a couple that I think will be helpful (aka the ones that will help Paul remember how much money he owes me).
Let's say I wanted to print out everything that Paul owed me that was more than $30. I would have to iterate over each item in the list, and compare it to 30. If the amount owed is more than 30, I want to print it. If not, we won't print it out (sometimes you have to pick your battles with Paul).
We could use the .each method and a for/else statement:
OR, we can be lazy efficient, and use a method from the enumerable module. Let's go with .find_all:
If I wanted to find out how many things Paul owes me for, I can count the size of my list. This is the same as iterating over the entire list, and keeping track of how many items I was iterating over. We can write this like so:
to end up with 5. OR, use the handy .count method from the enumerable module:
to yield the exact same result.
Let's say Paul wants to be on a payment plan. He wants to pay off the smallest sum first. We could iterate over the whole list and compare amounts, OR, you guessed it, use a method from the enumerable module. In this case, .min:
What about if I wanted to group together all the things that Paul owes me for, by the reason he owes me? We can use a handy method: .group_by:
What if Paul only has $10 bills on him, so he contests that he can't start paying me because I don't have any change? Well, let's get him a list of what he can pay me for using just $10 bills:
And finally, let's show Paul how much money he'd owe me if I added 20% interest on each item as a late fee:
And sum it up for him:
There you have it. Paul, give me my money. I've told you now in 11 different ways.

Imagine with an atom we can harness the energy of the sun. Now, imagine we can harness that energy. This vision, only grows more possible with every passing day.
What are the benefits of nuclear fusion?
In nuclear fusion, two or more light atomic nuclei collide and merge (“fuse”) to form a heavier nucleus. It differs from nuclear fission, used in nuclear power plants, where very heavy nuclei are broken apart.If light nuclei are forced together, they will fuse with a yield of energy because the mass of the combination will be less than the sum of the masses of the individual nuclei. If the combined nuclear mass is less than that of iron at the peak of the binding energy curve, then the nuclear particles will be more tightly bound than they were in the lighter nuclei, and that decrease in mass comes off in the form of energy according to the Einstein relationship. For elements heavier than iron, fission will yield energy.
Is this the future? Well, we're still a long way to developing a stable, longlasting nuclear fusion reactor. We do have the theory down, so it shouldn't be long before we build the rest.


Face/Off (1997) * * * * A movie review by Serdar Yegulalp Copyright 1997 by Serdar Yegulalp
CAPSULE: The first American production by John Woo to equal or rival his Hong Kong work.
Most people I know sit in the movies and tick off whole lists of blown opportunities.  Most movies are anthologies of ideas that near-miss. Happily, FACE/OFF is not one of those movies.
Calling FACE/OFF an "action thriller" is like calling a Maserati a "commuter vehicle". You have the function -- maybe -- but not the form. FACE/OFF wraps a muscular action plot in a story of remarkable emotional resonance, one in which *no* mental stone gets unturned.
Consider the premise. An antiterrorist expert named Sean Archer (John Travolta) is obsessed with capturing his number one quarry, a mad-dog manic named Castor Troy (Nicholas Cage). Violence ensues, in which Castor is thrown into a coma. All too late, he learns that Castor has planted a bio-chemical bomb somewhere in L.A., and that only Castor's equally unhinged brother Pollux knows where it is. After a good deal of failure, Sean finally buckles and allows a bizarre plan to be enacted: his face and Castor's are surgically swapped, and he is sent to sweet-talk Pollux into revealing the location of the bomb.
Yes, this is neat. Preposterous as all hell, but neat. What's even neater is the twists that develop later on, when Archer is betrayed and forced to live with Castor's face and body. In the process, both he (and his enemy, about whom the less said the better) make many unnerving discoveries about each other's lives, and their own. How do you behave when the young son of the man you have wanted dead for so long tries to embrace you?
This whole level of emotional context shoots under the skin of FACE/OFF and raises it above being just a technically clever effects show. It's about personalities and attitudes as much as it's about plots, guns, and Mexican stand-offs, of which John Woo is perpetually fond. Although in his movies, they're always used as means to an end -- they further a deeper story. FACE/OFF is right in that grand tradition.
The acting is fascinating and creepy. Both Travolta and Cage swap voices, faces, and even work to exchange mannerisms. Look carefully at the cafeteria brawl scene, where Cage (playing Travolta's character) screams out "I'm Castor Troy!" and uses violence as a way of trying to check his real anger and self-loating. Or the creepy scene where Travolta (playing Cage's character) tells his daughter how to deal with a guy who won't say no. Most movies don't have the fiendishness to try this kind of stuff out. FACE/OFF wears it like a good suit of clothes.

“I completed finals the week of my 60th birthday, something I am proud of. In 1980 I received a B.S. in Biology, but this Associate’s Degree in Computer Graphics Technology means even more to me. Each thing I have learned has made me that much more capable in today’s world, allowing me to find job opportunities that I couldn’t have taken advantage of before. KCC has made a huge difference in my life, both in learning and in the people I have come to know here.”
- Debra A. Daun, Class of 2018“I’m the first one in my family to graduate. The professors would take their time to know you. That’s what I really liked about this. It was smaller....everybody knows you here. I really liked KCC. I’m really excited to see where this takes me next.”
- Miguel Angel Diaz Ramirez, Class of 2018

ppmtotga(1) ppmtotga(1) NAME ppmtotga - convert portable pixmap into a TrueVision Targa file SYNOPSIS ppmtotga [-mono|-cmap|-rgb] [-norle] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a TrueVision Targa file as output. OPTIONS -mono Forces Targa file to be of type 8 bit monochrome. Input must be a portable bitmap or a portable graymap. -cmap Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit colormapped. Input must be a portable bitmap, a portable graymap or a portable pixmap con‐ taining no more than 256 distinct colors. -rgb Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit unmapped color. -norle Disables run-length encoding, in case you have a Targa reader which can't read run-length encoded files. All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. If no file type is specified the most highly constained compatible type is used, where monochrome is more constained than colormapped which is in turn more constained than unmapped. BUGS Does not support all possible Targa file types. Should really be in PNM, not PPM.

Lutron Grafik QS
Connecting to a Grafik QS system
Connection to a Grafik QS system is done via a QSE-CI-NWK-E interface, which allows for Ethernet and RS232 connectivity.
For RS232 communications, set the same bit rate on the QSE-CI-NWK-E interface and on BeoLiving Intelligence connection settings.
Connection settings for Ethernet are the IP address of the interface and the password. The default password is ‘nwk’.
Defining Grafik QS resources
The resources you need to define are control units and accessory controls (e.g. keypads) with which you need to interact. Each is defined by a serial number which can be found on a label on each product, or from the control units bus status information, or by inspecting BeoLiving Intelligence monitoring information.
Grafik QS events and commands
Events from a Grafik QS system can be lighting scene changes on control units, or key presses.
Possible commands are scene changes on control units.

The {{pageTitle}} Direct Certificate Discovery Tool (DCDT) was created to support automated testing of systems that plan to enact the Certificate Discovery and Provider Directory Implementation Guide, approved as normative specification by the Direct community, as of July 9, 2012. It is based on the written test package and requirement traceability matrix created by the Modular Specifications project under the direction of the Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Step 1: Determine the required test cases for your SUT (System Under Test). Notice that there are two options for storage of address-bound and domain-bound certificates.
Step 2: Select a test case that reflects the SUT from the dropdown.
Step 3: Read the Description and Instructions for the selected test case. Then enter the Direct address and submit. Your SUT configuration may require that you select more than one test case. If so, then select one test case at a time, following the instructions to execute the test after each selection.
Step 1: Download the Testing Tool's trust anchor.
Step 2: Upload the anchor to your Direct instance. This will allow you to send messages to our tool.
Step 3: Using the form below, map the Direct email address from which you will be sending messages to a non-Direct email address that will receive a regular email containing test results. This email address should be able to receive plain text messages. Make sure you have access to the recipient email address in order to verify the receipt of the messages.
Step 4: Choose a test case from the drop down menu below. Read the test case description below the "Direct Address" field, copy the displayed Direct address and proceed to step 5. You should run all of the tests in order to verify that your system can correctly discover certificates in either DNS CERT records or LDAP servers. (Note: your system MUST NOT already contain a certificate for the address selected or the test case will not be valid).
Step 5: Attempt to send a message to the Direct address that you've just copied. Please only send to one address at a time. The test case results message will indicate the test case results. See the test case instructions for additional information.

I've been awarded for working with up-and-coming gospel rappers, corresponding with them worldwide, and promoting counter-cultural positivity in music. Quality is something I'm always challenged by and aspire towards.
I've met and communicated with many interesting people in my life, all who have poured into it. I aspire to continue blessing those who blessed me, and those who don't understand me, or just flat out don't like me. Investing in the joy of other people and seeing the best in them is what we all know we're supposed to do.
Attempting to be a leader, not a follower. Fighting to be counter-cultural and learning how to integrate my Christian faith into my life's joys and to inspire you and to make more of what I've got. This is the hardest and longest battle of my life, but I know it is the only battle that will be more than worth my time. Making Jesus my foundation for when life's shows it's flash and fire is what makes me man.


“Ayoni suddhimanvesaṁ,
aggiṁ paricariṁ vane;
Suddhimaggaṁ ajānanto,
akāsiṁ amaraṁ tapaṁ.
Seeking purity the wrong way,
I served the sacred fire in a grove.
Not knowing the path to purity,
I mortified my flesh in search of immortality.
Taṁ sukhena sukhaṁ laddhaṁ,
passa dhammasudhammataṁ;
Tisso vijjā anuppattā,
kataṁ buddhassa sāsanaṁ.
I’ve gained this happiness by means of happiness:
see the excellence of the teaching!
I’ve attained the three knowledges
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
Brahmabandhu pure āsiṁ,
idāni khomhi brāhmaṇo;
Tevijjo nhātako camhi,
sottiyo camhi vedagū”ti.
… Aṅgaṇikabhāradvājo thero ….
In the past I was related to Brahmā,
but now I really am a brahmin!
I am master of the three knowledges, I’m a bathed initiate,
I’m a scholar and a knowledge master.
