Chapter 3 Creating a Randomization Directory
Contributors: Ben Arnold
The files used to generate a randomization sequence should live in one directory. They should be clearly labeled. They should include lots of comments and documentation to orient a new reader to their contents. The directory should include, at minimum:
| Item | |
|---|---|
| ____ 1. | A metadata README file that describes all files in the directory. |
| ____ 2. | The script that generates the randomization sequence(s). |
| ____ 3. | Randomization diagnostics (typically an output file from the script). |
| ____ 4. | The randomization sequence(s) generated, stored as .csv files. |
| ____ 5. | The key that maps group labels to masked codes (masked trials only) |
| ____ 6. | A list of team members with access to the masked codes (masked trials only) and randomization sequence file(s) |
For unmasked randomization, we recommend creating a subdirectory within a trial’s parent directory called Randomization
. In the hypothetical MyTrial
study below, create a new subdirectory nested within:
~/Box Sync/MyTrial/Randomization
If the randomization sequence is masked, then we need to keep the randomization files separate from the main trial directory. Otherwise team members who should not know the mapping between treatment labels and masking codes could discover the link. The sequence could also be discoverable, and if a team member is involved in treating patients that could bias the allocation.
In masked trials, we recommend creating a parallel, shadow directory for the trial with restricted access permissions. We typically use the suffix -unmasked-materials
to identify the restricted access directories. They should live on the same encrypted server as the trial’s main directory, e.g.:
~/Box Sync/MyTrial-unmasked-materials/Randomization
Note that an -unmasked-materials
directory can contain other, sensitive, restricted access materials. Such as: interim analyses requested by the trial’s Data and Safety Monitoring Committee, and the primary analysis files/results up until the trial is unmasked.
We recommend the -unmasked-materials
directory reside on a secure, cloud server that meets UCSF’s IT security standards. At this time, that includes Box and Microsoft OneDrive. The trial’s biostatistician should “own” the directory and should carefully control team member access. Restrict permissions/access to only team members who should have access (item #6, above). Do not create a shareable link to the directory or individual files within the directory.
If the randomization script is developed on GitHub, then the trial should maintain a secure repostitory that includes unmasked materials and is highly restricted. Additional details in the chapter on Masking.
| Key Points | |
|---|---|
| 1 | The trial’s biostatistician should control access to a trial’s directory of unmasked materials |
| 2 | At least 3 team members should have access to unmasked materials at all times |


Mum fuming after Hermes Christmas presents arrive 'opened and in different packaging'
Kerryann Mcildoon said the package sent by her son Daryl, who lives in Luton, Bedfordshire was not delivered on Tuesday as planned
by James Rodger, Sophie Kitching, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalistA mum was left "disgusted" after her Christmas presents arrived "opened and in different packaging".
Kerryann Mcildoon said the packages sent by her son arrived in a box with a label on for a "shower greyhound coat".
Worryingly, she claims they did not arrive in the Royal Mail box it had been sent in.
The mum, of Hull, East Yorkshire, says when presents ordered by her son via Hermes arrived they were already "open" - and in different packaging to what they had been sent in .
She said the package sent by her son Daryl, who lives in Luton, Bedfordshire was not delivered on Tuesday as planned.
When he contacted Hermes, he was told the label was damaged so it was not delivered, and it was instead going to going to arrive on Thursday.
When the package arrived, Mrs Mcildoon claims she was devastated to find the opened presents and said they arrived in a box with a label on for a "shower greyhound coat" and not in the Royal Mail box it had been sent in, Hull Live reports.
She said: "I'm absolutely disgusted.
"He sent me my Christmas presents through Hermes, the couriers. He phones me on Tuesday and said you should receive the parcel between 10am and 2pm.
"He [my son] said did you get the parcel? I said, no I didn't get the parcel.
"[he was told] The label was damaged on the box so they couldn't deliver it.
"My son phoned on Thursday morning and said your parcel is coming today.
"The box wasn't properly sealed and the presents have been opened."
Ms Mcildoon says the box they were sent in had a label on for a "shower greyhound coat".
"It's not even a proper box," she said. "There was one strip of Sellotape on the top.
"My son is disgusted. The box has been opened and the presents were open.
"He wrapped them in Christmas paper. They have opened them quite a bit.
Hermes says the external packaging for the parcel was damaged so its team repacked them and said all items have now been "safely delivered".
It apologised for any inconvenience.
A spokeswoman for Hermes said: "Unfortunately the external packaging for this parcel was damaged.
"Our team repacked them and all items have now been safely delivered. We apologise for any inconvenience."

[gecode-users] Quiescence in a commit of a branching
David Rijsman
davidrijsman at gmail.com
Fri Dec 28 09:12:15 CET 2007
I am trying to batch some decisions which have only one alternative
into one branching and have some trouble to create quiescence after a
tell in the commit method of my branching.
Is it possible to enforce quiescence after a tell in the commit
method of my branching, I think invoking Space::propagate would do it
but this method is private.
My use case is to assign values to some variables in my problem as a
last step (branching) but such that these assignments are not
considered steps with alternatives in the search when I search for a
better/next solution,
David

In assignment 2, I have implemented several different techniques that go beyond basic requirements of this assignment:
The first technique is a clock counting down for limiting time. Using another function(countdown), I could have a timer that limit the time of user to 10 minutes. Here is where you could find it and see.
I have learned this feature from this website: https://gist.github.com/adhithyan15/4350689
Also, here is code parts that I have used for this feature:
The second technique in my case is using querySelector(). By using this, the error message could become red when error happened and we could use for validating checkbox. Here is where you could find it.
I find out about this technique on these websites: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_document_queryselector.asp and https://flaviocopes.com/how-to-check-checkbox-checked/
Here is the code parts for the feature:
I hope that you find out these new features on my webpage enjoyable and interesting.

New research quantifies how much speakers' first language affects learning a new language
| Source: | University of Rochester |
| Summary: | Linguistic research suggests that accents are strongly shaped by the speaker's first language they learned growing up. New research sheds light on just how strong these effects can be. This work is the first to evaluate these effects on a large scale and may lead to novel methods of instruction for adults learning to speak foreign languages. |
Language research has documented that people tend to draw inferences about speakers based on how they talk. These often implicit inferences can occur in the blink of an eye and can affect how smart we think someone is, how much we like them, and more. This is also the case for the non-native accents typically present in speakers who learn a new language later in life.
Linguistic research suggests that these accents are strongly shaped by the speaker's first language that they learned growing up. New research from an international collaboration between the University of Rochester and universities in Germany and Holland sheds light on just how strong these effects can be. This work, which was conducted by lead author Job Schepens as part of a Fulbright fellowship to the University of Rochester, is the first to evaluate these effects on a large scale and may lead to novel methods of instruction for adults learning to speak foreign languages. The results of the study were published in the journal Cognition.
The team analyzed a dataset of more than 50,000 adults who learned Dutch as their second or third language. These data were collected through a state exam administered by the Dutch government to immigrants that enter Holland. Among other aspects, the exam rated the Dutch speaking proficiency for each test taker. Test takers from more than 60 different first language backgrounds were represented in the data.
The team found that a little less than half of the individual variance in the perceived proficiency of learners could be accounted for by a handful of factors: the learner's education and gender (women had higher scores than men), the learner's age when they arrived in Holland, the time they spent in Holland before taking the exam, and the learner's first language. This last factor alone accounted for 50 percent of the explained variance in learners' proficiency.
This strong effect of a learner's first language seems to be almost entirely driven by how similar the learner's first language is to the language they are trying to learn. Schepens's team coded the linguistic similarity between Dutch and the 62 first languages spoken by different learners in the database. In collaboration with Roeland van Hout, a professor at Radboud University, they coded, for example, how similar the languages were to Dutch in terms of their sound structures. The huge majority — about 80 percent — of the effect of language background was explained through linguistic similarity. Of the test takers who grew up speaking Arabic, only about 5 percent scored higher in Dutch speaking proficiency than the worst 50 percent of the test takers that grew up speaking German.
"Our results suggest that this is in large parts due to the fact that German shares many linguistic features with Dutch, whereas Arabic does not," Schepens says. "This is not a new insight, but the present study is the first to quantify just how substantial this effect is."
"This suggests that a large proportion of the perceived non-nativeness of a learner is simply due to the language they grew up with, and this factor is entirely out of their control," says Florian Jaeger, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
The results also corroborate an important insight from research on how languages should be taught to adults, Jaeger says. "Since the language the learner grew up with has a large effect on what they struggle with, language instruction that takes into account a learner's first language promises to be more effective."

Rewrite your application to use the standard C++ exception mechanism if possible. For Windows platforms where standard C++ exceptions are not available, or for C applications, use the special linker /SAFESEH
command line option.
The Windows Structured Exception Handling (SEH) mechanism uses special functions called “exception handlers” to handle possible exceptions during application run-time. Exceptions are used to handle error conditions. These functions are registered with the application via function pointers. If your application has a risk of buffer overflow vulnerability, an attacker could exploit it and redirect exception pointers to injected malicious code. As a result, an attacker could get access to sensitive data or get control of the system.
The special linker /SAFESEH
option ensures that all exception handler pointers are stored in a table located in read-only memory and therefore cannot be modified by an attacker.
The standard C++ exception mechanism is not susceptible to this type of attack, so it is recommended to use it wherever possible.
Use this measure for Windows applications if they use the SEH mechanism for exception handling.
This technique is especially important if your application uses functions susceptible to buffer overflow attack, such as strcpy()
, scanf()
, etc., that work with a memory buffer of undefined size and receive data from external sources.
To prevent redirection of exception handlers:
Identify possible buffer overflow conditions. Review your application and identify all the functions where a buffer overflow condition may occur. Usually such functions use unsafe strcpy()
, scanf()
, etc. and work with memory buffers of undefined size.
Replace unsafe functions with safe analogs. Consult vendor documentation to see whether it is possible to replace unsafe functions with safer analogs. You might have to rewrite your code.
Identify code where the SEH mechanism is used. Review your application code and identify where the SEH mechanism is used to handle error conditions. For C++ applications, consider using the standard C++ exception mechanism instead of SEH.
Use special linker options. If the standard C++ exception mechanism is not available for the target platform, recompile your application using the /SAFESEH
option.

Customizing the server behavior of an EasyRTC application is done by creating listeners and associating them with EasyRTC events.
The EasyRTC events
object is directly accessible via the easyrtc
object. As a convienience it is also a child of the pub
, appObj
, connectionObj
, sessionObj
, roomObj
, and connectionRoomObj
.
Setting event listeners in EasyRTC is similar to the node.js events module method. Any differences are noted below.
easyrtc.events.on(eventName, listener);
easyrtc.events.setDefaultListener(eventName);
easyrtc.events.emit(event, [arg1], [arg2], [...], [callback|next]);
Setting a listener overrides the default EasyRTC listener. Depending on your application you may wish to release control back to the default EasyRTC listener.
easyrtc.events.emitDefault(event, [arg1], [arg2], [...], [callback|next]);
Many EasyRTC listeners include a callback as the last parameter. Conventions will differ depending on if it is named 'next' or 'callback'.
next
Expects a single 'err' parameter which should be null unless there is an error which should stop the operation and be logged.
callback
The best spot (currently) to see all the available events is by reading the default event listeners documentation. This will give you an idea of the events, parameters, and default behavior.

The Transistor and Integrated Circuits Transform Computing (ICTC) In 1948, at Bell Telephone Laboratories, American physicists Walter Houser Brattain, John Bardeen, and William Bradford Shockley developed the transistor, a device that can act as an electric switch. The transistor had a tremendous impact on computer design, replacing costly, energy-inefficient, and unreliable vacuum tubes. In the late 1960s integrated circuits (tiny transistors and other electrical components arranged on a single chip of silicon) replaced individual transistors in computers. Integrated circuits resulted from the simultaneous, independent work of Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments and Robert Noyce of the Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation in the late 1950s. As integrated circuits became miniaturized, more components could be designed into a single computer circuit. In the 1970s refinements in integrated circuit technology led to the development of the modern microprocessor, integrated circuits that contained thousands of transistors. Modern microprocessors can contain more than 40 million transistors. Manufacturers used integrated circuit technology to build smaller and cheaper computers. The first of these so-called personal computers (PCs)¡ªthe Altair 8800¡ªappeared in 1975, sold by Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems (MITS). The Altair used an 8-bit Intel 8080 microprocessor, had 256 bytes of RAM, received input through switches on the front panel, and displayed output on rows of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Refinements in the PC continued with the inclusion of video displays, better storage devices, and CPUs with more computational abilities. Graphical user interfaces were first designed by the Xerox Corporation, then later used successfully by Apple Computer, Inc.. Today the development of sophisticated operating systems such as Windows, the Mac OS, and Linux enables computer users to run programs and manipulate data in ways that were unimaginable in the mid-20th century. Several researchers claim the ¡°record¡± for the largest single calculation ever performed. One large single calculation was accomplished by physicists at IBM in 1995. They solved one million trillion mathematical subproblems by continuously running 448 computers for two years. Their analysis demonstrated the existence of a previously hypothetical subatomic particle called a glueball. Japan, Italy, and the United States are collaborating to develop new supercomputers that will run these types of calculations 100 times faster. In 1996 IBM challenged Garry Kasparov,
the reigning world chess champion, to a chess match with a supercomputer
called Deep Blue. The computer had the ability to compute more than 100
million chess positions per second. In a 1997 rematch Deep Blue defeated
Kasparov, becoming the first computer to win a match against a reigning
world chess champion with regulation time controls. Many experts predict
these types of parallel processing machines will soon surpass human chess
playing ability, and some speculate that massive calculating power will
one day replace intelligence. Deep Blue serves as a prototype for future
computers that will be required to solve complex problems. At issue, however,
is whether a computer can be developed with the ability to learn to solve
problems on its own, rather than one programmed to solve a specific set

Java is mature. It’s tested. And it’s fast (contrary to what the anti-Java crowd may still claim). It’s also quite verbose. Going from Java to Ruby, expect your code size to shrink down considerably. You can also expect it to take less time to knock together quick prototypes.
Similarities
As with Java, in Ruby…

- Objects are strongly typed.
- There are public, private, and protected methods.
- There are embedded doc tools (Ruby’s is called RDoc). The docs generated by rdoc look very similar to those generated by javadoc.
Differences
Unlike Java, in Ruby…
- You don’t need to compile your code. You just run it directly.
- There are several different popular third-party GUI toolkits. Ruby users can try WxRuby, FXRuby, Ruby-GNOME2, or the bundled-in Ruby Tk for example.
- You use the
end
keyword after defining things like classes, instead of having to put braces around blocks of code. - You have
require
instead ofimport
. - All member variables are private. From the outside, you access everything via methods.
- Parentheses in method calls are usually optional and often omitted.
- Everything is an object, including numbers like 2 and 3.14159.
- There’s no static type checking.
- Variable names are just labels. They don’t have a type associated with them.
- There are no type declarations. You just assign to new variable names
as-needed and they just “spring up” (i.e.
a = [1,2,3]
rather thanint[] a = {1,2,3};
). - There’s no casting. Just call the methods. Your unit tests should tell you before you even run the code if you’re going to see an exception.
- It’s
foo = Foo.new( "hi")
instead ofFoo foo = new Foo( "hi" )
. - The constructor is always named “initialize” instead of the name of the class.
- You have “mixin’s” instead of interfaces.
- YAML tends to be favored over XML.
- It’s
nil
instead ofnull
. ==
andequals()
are handled differently in Ruby. Use==
when you want to test equivalence in Ruby (equals()
is Java). Useequal?()
when you want to know if two objects are the same (==
in Java).

City of Hope (1991) 129m.
Mosaic by John Sayles is reflective of his versatility by virtue of its multifarious nature. Sayles, a writer-director-actor-editor, makes pains to experiment with as wide a genre and mood available to him in the landscape of commercial cinema. At first glance, CITY OF HOPE might seem his most 'ordinary': a story of the effect of corrupt politics and business on different socio-economic levels. Straightforward enough, but Sayles wants to provide as broad a spectrum as possible into his two-hour running time, so his constantly mobile camera drifts in and out of the lives of a huge cast of characters. Some provide subplots that rhizomically link together; some nudge each other in passing; yet others function only as incidental bystanders. It's a great dance that Sayles choreographs - he obviously finds enjoyment in the immeasurable ways in which people affect each others' lives. CITY OF HOPE has obvious parallels with Robert Altman efforts like NASHVILLE and SHORT CUTS, but Sayles' approach touches base on a more human level. His characters are for the most part plain speaking and down to earth, and get an equal amount of screen time (Vincent Spano has a little more than the rest of the thirty-plus cast, giving him the film's nominal lead role).
It seems an obvious idea to tell the story of a city by using a plenitude of voices instead of a sole representative one, but there aren't many films like this one around. Sayles shows us that it is this chorus that unites to provide the one voice of the city itself . In CITY OF HOPE the people take center stage: the city has no name; its streets are simply named after letters of the alphabet; we never see an establishing shot of the city; much of the story is filmed at street level (when we do see a view out of a high-rise, it's only of the building opposite); the characters all work in service of the city to keep its various mechanisms in running order. When Spano quits his construction job in the film's opening scene, he is setting himself up for a fall: without any useful function for the city he automatically becomes expendable - he fails to emulate the example of several other characters who want to be recognized as separate identities in their community (Sayles has everyone use each other's first name repeatedly). It's hard to tell if this is a city of hope or a city of hopelessness - because of its unfixity it best serves as allegory. Like the building left unfinished halfway through the story, the separate storylines remain largely unresolved. Sayles gets away with this by treating them in such a fragmentary manner that we don't really expect all the loose ends to tie up anyhow. Film's last shot is inspired - it may linger in your memory for days afterwards.

Wife kisses pal in 'truth or dare' game and now the 'throuple' is having a baby
A drunken kiss during a game led to polyamory and a baby for this Wisconsin trio. Elizabeth, 23, is now expecting their her first child with Brandon and Shannon
by Liana JacobA married couple who invited their best friend into a three-way relationship after a game of 'truth or dare' are now expecting their first baby.
Wisconsin couple Brandon Tidd, 34, and wife Elizabeth, 23, met Shannon, 30, from Ohio, through their Harry Potter role play website.
The trio initially became friends and Shannon moved in with the couple after she moved out of her parents home to look for her place.

Elizabeth was reportedly surprised to find she enjoyed it, and and the women began to fall for one another.
Brandon, who met his wife in 2014 through the military, also began falling for Shannon, and the trio decided to start a polyamorous relationship.
Last year, Brandon and Elizabeth 'proposed' to Shannon in a latter about their feelings for her and took her to a paper lantern festival.
They were 'married' in October, and by March, Elizabeth fell pregnant to her husband.
The trio are planning to raise the baby due in December together.
They explained how they met over their Harry Potter role play website, where writers are able to create new characters and stories together.
Brandon explained how his character had started to fall in love with another character, so he messaged the writer - Shannon.
As the friendship grew, he and his wife began chatting about Shannon regularly and Elizabeth began messaging her too.
They decided to help her get on her feet and move out of her parents' home.
The couple travelled from Wisconsin to meet Elizabeth in Ohio and they all got along so well she immediately decided to move in with them.
Brandon sad: 'One day, after a little bit to drink; a game of Truth or Dare turned interestingly fun and it had them kissing. Elizabeth was raised extremely Lutheran, so she had never done that before with a girl and was surprised she enjoyed it.
"The next day, it happened again, but it went much further. That was the beginning of Elizabeth falling for Shannon and it grew from there. Friendship combining attraction."
Brendan said while there was some jealousy at the beginning, they have built trust and all love one another.
He said they overcame jealousy by communicating, and maintaining equality- even using each other as "referees" to maintain order if two of the trio are engaged in a fight.
Brandon claimed including Shannon in the relationship had strengthened his relationship with Elizabeth.
"This life means that we communicate more than a normal couple. If one of us is off, we have two people to lean on. If two of us are fighting, we always have a referee. We remain equal and we all have a say," he said.
"We make sure jealousy is not allowed in and if there is an issue we stop and do a throuple 'check in'. Usually led by me unless I am really upset.
"We would ask each person how they are doing on a scale of one to ten, what is upsetting them, what is making them happy and we say three positive things about each person.
"We just happen to all be people that fell in love with two people instead of just one. None of us were looking to be in a 'throuple' it kind of just developed that way naturally like with any couple.
"I would say overall, including Shannon in our relationship has strengthened it; it takes a lot of trust between the two of us to fully love each other and fully love another person and like any couple the three of us have our arguments but I feel very strong in the relationship.
"It's funny because people think living with two girls must be harder because of all the emotions, but with the way our dynamic works, all the of us haven't fought about anything.
He said the 'throuple' are looking forward to moving to Oregon with their dogs, and welcoming their baby girl shortly before the new year.
He said she will be raised with "two mummies and a daddy."

HOT SHOTS A film review by Mark R. Leeper Copyright 1991 Mark R. Leeper
Capsule review: Jim Abrahams, without the assistance of the Zucker brothers, manages to recapture the spirit of the classic Z.A.Z. comedies with about a gross of bad jokes, a gross of good jokes, a half dozen *very funny* gags, and maybe two or three dozen in-joke film allusions. What NAKED GUN 2-1/2 should have done to police action films, HOT SHOTS does to military flying films. Not one cliche remains intact when Abrahams is done. Rating: law +2 (-4 to +4).
Earlier this summer, and with much fanfare, we saw NAKED GUN 2-1/2 directed by Jerry Zucker of the famous team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker, who made KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, AIRPLANE!, TOP SECRET!, television's POLICE SQUAD!, and NAKED GUN. And at that point I said that a film was just not as funny if it did not have all three funny men doing the writing. As far as I am concerned, NAKED GUN 2-1/2 just did not click. Now Jim Abrahams has his own attempt at an Airplane! style film with HOT SHOTS. And guess what? Abrahams operating without the other two really can capture the manic style of AIRPLANE!. HOT SHOTS must average at least three jokes a minute and probably more. Maybe one in six is genuinely funny and at least half are enjoyably witty. The movie is 85 minutes long. You can do the math yourself and figure that HOT SHOTS is a *very funny* movie.
This time around Abrahams is trashing another breed of flying film, the military flying film. TOP GUN, FLIGHT OF THE INTRUDER, AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, MEMPHIS BELLE, and probably many others provide a mother lode of cliches for HOT SHOTS to mine. But those are just the beginning. There must be thirty film references for films outside the military flight genre. Charlie Sheen plays Topper Harley, a second generation hot-shot pilot who wants to recover the name his father soiled. Carey Elwes (formerly of THE PRINCESS BRIDE) plays Kent Gregory, who has a vendetta to settle against Harley. Valeria Golino (formerly of PEE-WEE'S BIG-TOP) plays Ramada Thompson, Navy psychiatrist and occasional night club singer, who provides the love interest, and who in a remarkable scene with Sheen really sizzles. Even telling the names of most of the other characters would be giving away some of the gags of the film, not that HOT SHOTS could not spare them.
The film culminates in an air attack on a certain unnamed Middle East country. Considering that the flight sequences are basically a throwaway, they are surprisingly convincing. While occasional model work is obvious, at least some of the scenes really seem to show some impressive flying. Even where model work is used it is surprisingly good, no doubt by reaping effects technology as well as cliches from supposedly more serious flying films. If you like Z.A.Z. films but were disappointed by NAKED GUN 2-1/2, this may be the film you were looking for. I rate HOT SHOTS a low +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.

Privacy Policy of imusify Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like). Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.  Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32. The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham. There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

clonealign.Rd
clonealign
assigns single cells (measured with RNA-seq) to their clones of origin, where
the clones have been inferred from ultra-shallow scDNA-seq and collated into copy number profiles.
clonealign(gene_expression_data, copy_number_data, max_iter = 100, rel_tol = 1e-06, gene_filter_threshold = 0, learning_rate = 0.1, x = NULL, fix_alpha = FALSE, fix_s = NULL, dtype = "float64", saturate = TRUE, saturation_threshold = 6, K = NULL, B = 20, verbose = TRUE)
| gene_expression_data | A matrix of gene counts or a
|
|---|---|
| copy_number_data | A matrix or data frame of copy number calls for each clone.
See |
| max_iter | Maximum number of Variational Bayes iterations to perform |
| rel_tol | Relative tolerance (change in ELBO per iteration in percent) below which the inference is considered converged |
| gene_filter_threshold | Genes with total counts below or equal to this threshold will be filtered out (removes genes with no counts by default) |
| learning_rate | The learning rate to be passed to the Adam optimizer |
| x | An optional vector of covariates, e.g. corresponding to batch or patient. Can be a vector of a single covariate or a sample by covariate matrix. Note this should not contain an intercept. |
| fix_alpha | Should the underlying priors for clone frequencies be fixed? Default TRUE (values are inferred from the data) |
| fix_s | Should the size factors be fixed? If |
| dtype | The dtype for tensorflow useage, either "float32" or "float64" |
| saturate | Should the CNV-expression relationship saturate above copy number = |
| saturation_threshold | If |
| K | The dimensionality of the expression latent space. If left |
| B | Number of basis functions for spline fitting |
| verbose | Should warnings and EM convergence information be printed? Default TRUE |
An object of class clonealign_fit
. The maximum likelihood estimates of the
clone assignment paramters are in the clone
slot. Maximum likelihood estimates of
all model parameters are in the ml_params
slot.
Input format
gene_expression_data
must either be a SingleCellExperiment
or SummarizedExperiment
with a counts
assay
representing raw gene expression counts, or a cell by gene matrix of raw counts.
copy_number_data
must either be a matrix
, data.frame
or DataFrame
with a
row for each gene in gene_expression_data
and a column for each of the clones.
If colnames(copy_number_data)
is not NULL
then these names will be used for each of
the clones in the final output.
Recommended parameter settings
As with any probabilistic model there are many parameters to set. Through comprehensive simulations regarding the robustness of the model to mis-specification (ie what's the minimum proportion of genes for which the CNV-expression relationship can be true and our inferences still valid) we have come up with the following guidelines for parameter settings, reflected in the default values:
Number of ADAM iterations - if set to 1 we essentially perform gradient descent on the marginal log-likelihood which empircally appears to have the best performance
Dispersions should be clone-specific with weak shrinkage (sigma
= 1 appears best)
The generating probabilities should be fixed to be a priori equal (this corresponds to setting alpha = TRUE
)
The cell size factors are best fixed in advanced by multiplying the total counts of whatever genes are passed to clonealign by the edgeR (TMM) normalization factors
Controlling Variational inference
Inference is performed using reparametrization-gradient variational inference. Convergence is monitored via changes
to the evidence lower bound (ELBO) - this is controlled using the
rel_tol
parameter. When the difference between the new and old ELBOs normalized
by the absolute value of the old falls below rel_tol
, the algorithm is considered converged.
The maximum number of iterations to acheive this is set using the max_iter
parameter.
In each step, maximization is performed using Adam, with learning rate given by learning_rate
.

This is an alternative view of Elijah Meeks' War timeline built using his D3 timeline layout. Original data derived from Wikipedia.
Elijah's original timeline categorized conflicts by five categories: European, Native, Colonial, Latin America, and Internal. I wondered about his categorization, however. For example, he mixed both areas of the world (Latin America) with types of conflicts (Internal). This also begs the question of defining these categories by theme. After all, one could argue that many of the Latin American conflicts were colonial in nature.
I'm not suggesting my view is better than Elijah's; his timeline is making a particular point, and I think makes that point well. The point of his visualiation remains: the United States fights wars, and lots of them. But this view tries to reveal the regions of the world the U.S. fought those conflicts. I also extended Elijah's original dataset, including covert operations run by the United States during the Cold War. The timeline above seeks to provide another view, by looking at the regions of the world where these conflicts were fought as a way to see where the United States engaged over time.
The regional breakdown, however, is imperfect and fraught with decisions I've made. For example, I broke down what we might consider "Asia" into component parts of Far East and Southeast Asia, but for Latin America I made little distinction between the Carribean, Central America, and South America, not to mention that Latin America is properly considered "North America" even though, in my case, "North America" here means the U.S. and Canada. Yet, I wanted to see if I could parse a general sense of regional focus in the wars that the United States fought without the timeline becoming overly complicated to interpret. This does not include, however, conflicts where the United States played a role as part of an international coalition such as NATO, SEATO, OAS, or CENTO. I'm saving that for the next timeline visualization.
Mouse over the rectangles to view the operation; click to visit the Wikipedia page. Rectangles with a border and transparency are covert operations. Fork the code if you want to build an alternative view.

PhenotypeLibrary is
part of HADES
This document is a DRAFT guidance.
Note (caution): Logic Description are succinct ideas
used by phenotyper to convey the structure of their implementation. It
only applies for rule-based phenotyping using OHDSI tools like
Atlas or CapR.
Background
- Logic description is required for peer review. Logic description
will be captured in the notes section of the Phenotype library.
- We recommend you write a logic description prior to beginning
phenotyping. It is written after clinical description is complete.
- The logic description would follow the structure of building cohort
definitions in Atlas, but without the full details. It is expected to
succinct.
- We have experienced that taking this approach improves the quality
of your cohort definitions, reduces bugs in your cohort definition and
allows to build cohort definitions collaboratively.
- It is also a required element for peer-review, as a logic
description indicates to the peer reviewers that the rules implemented
in Atlas are deliberate design choices and not an unintentional accident
(i.e. bug).
- This is a semi-formal representation. So usage of key words is
expected.
Recommended elements
-
Entry event criteria - what allows the person to enter the
cohort. The Presentation, Assessment and Plan components of the Clinical
Description often provide helpful guidance for what observed events may
allow for cohort entry.
-
Inclusion rule - what additional rules determine which
entry events qualify for the cohort. The dis-qualifier component of the
Clinical Description may provide guidance creating inclusion rules to
eliminate ‘false positive’ events, and elements from Presentation,
Assessment, Plan and Strengtheners may be used to further increase
specificity.
-
Exit criteria - What constitutes the end of an episode for
a person. The Prognosis section of the Clinical Description can provide
guidance on how long a disease episode lasts.

Time complexity is a function describing the amount of time an algorithm takes in terms of the amount of input to the algorithm. Time complexity is usually defined using "Big O notation" - The upper and lower bounds of the number of operations taken. In other words, you can use Big-O notation to estimate the upper, lower and average number of operations taken.
Big O Notation ignores coeffiecient, and only takes into account the leading term:
O(2N)→O(N)
O(N² +3N + 4)→O(N²)
N
refers to the input size of the algorithm, though sometimes other variables are introduced, depending on the algorithm being measured, and the problem at hand.
By calculating the time complexity of an algorithm, it is possible to check if an algorithm is efficient enough for the problem. For example, if a problem has an input with size of N=10⁵
, it is reasonable to assume that the expected algorithm runs in O(N)
or O(NlogN)
rather than something much more complex.
Constant time is notated as O(1)
, and does not depend on the size of the input, N
:
7
O(N)
, or Linear, is when an algorithm scales linearly with input size:
There is a 7 at index: 3
O(logN)
is the notation for logarithmic functions. Generally the log
will have a base of 2. A common example of this is binary search, which works by recursively slicing an array into halves to find a value. If you don't understand the algorithm, don't worry we'll be going over it later.
[-1, 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7] There is a 1 at index: 2
Below we've made a table of the most common Time Complexities:
| Notation | Description |
|---|---|
O(1) |
Constant, e.g. Accessing an array |
O(N) |
Linear, e.g. Iterating through a list |
O(logN) |
Logarithmic, e.g. Binary Search |
O(NlogN) |
Linearithmic, e.g. Merge Sort |
O(N^k) |
Polynomial, e.g. nested for loops |
O(k^N) |
Exponential, e.g. Finding all subsets of a list |
O(N!) |
Factorial, e.g. All permutations of a string |
Space complexity is nearly exactly the same as time complexity, in terms of notation. However, space complexity refers to the amount of memory an algorithm uses over the course of execution, rather than the number of operations that are undertaken. For example, a fibonacci sequence only needs the previous two numbers, since this is a constant number, it is O(N)
. However, a sort operation needs O(N)
memory, or more, to store the array.
That's it for this lesson. As always, if you have any feedback feel free to contact one of the instructors, or email stuyccc@gmail.com

AirRivet Pods
AirRivet is a service layer build in Swift by using generics. The idea is that you have Air
which is a class that performs the request for an Environment
. To do this it needs a Type called Rivet
that can be handeled over the Air
🤔. So how do we make this Rivet
Type?
AnyThing
can be a Rivet
if they are Rivetable
. Rivetable
is a combination of protocols that the Rivet (Type) has to conform to. The Rivet
is Rivetable
if:
Mitigatable
-> Receive requests to make anything that can go wrong less severe.Parsable
-> You get Dictionaries that you use to set the variablesEnvironmentConfigurable
-> We could get the data over theAir
from a production or a development environment- There is also a special case where the environment is
Mockable
then your request are loaded from local files (dummy files)
- There is also a special case where the environment is
UniqueAble
-> If yourAnyThing
is in a collection you can find your entitiy by complying toUniqueAble
If you do the above (there are default implementation provided in the example).

Safari IT Books Language Constructs Functional Programming Haskell Safari IT Books Programming Programming Programming Bryan O'Sullivan Donald Bruce Stewart John Goerzen O'Reilly Media, Inc. Real World Haskell, 1st Edition1.4. Command-Line Editing in ghciOn most systems, ghci has
some amount of command-line editing ability. In case you are not familiar
with command-line editing, it's a huge time saver. The basics are common
to both Unix-like and Windows systems. Pressing the up arrow key on your
keyboard recalls the last line of input you entered; pressing up
repeatedly cycles through earlier lines of input. You can use the left and
right arrow keys to move around inside a line of input. On Unix (but not
Windows, unfortunately), the Tab key completes partially entered
identifiers. | Where to look for more information We've barely scratched the surface of command-line
editing here. Since you can work more effectively if you're familiar
with the capabilities of your command-line editing system, you might
find it useful to do some further reading. On Unix-like systems, ghci uses the GNU
readline library, which is powerful and customizable. On Windows,
ghci's command-line editing capabilities are provided by the doskey command. |

Examples of data structure
Suffix tree - supports linear time lookup and is structured like a Tree
Tree - an ordered tree data structure that stores an associative array where the keys are strings.
Inverted index - stores a list of occurrences in the form of a hash table or a binaary tree.
Citation index - stores citations or hyperlinkes between certain documents to support citation analysis
Ngram index - stores sequences of length of data, which supports other types of retrieval. Sometimes supports text mini too.

We Love GPLv3, but are Switching License to Apache 2.0: TerminusDB
Changing License from GPLv3 to Apache 2.0: TerminusDB
We have decided to re-license TerminusDB from GPLv3 to Apache 2.0. We want independent software developers (ISVs) to embed TerminusDB in their applications and those developers feel that Apache is a lower risk option. The substantive points of practical difference are far less important – sufficient people believe it to be true and sufficient lawyers have advised teams to be wary of GPL.
In our experience, ISVs and devs in large companies/institutions size up their options at project conception and there remains a niggling doubt that ‘GPL might limit commercial prospects and cause me headaches’. The world has changed – and code freedom is being overtaken by developer freedom.
Open-source software is everywhere. It’s eating the world. In the top 10 databases on DB-Engines, the remaining proprietary databases were released in 1980 (Oracle), 1983 (IBM Db2) and 1989 (Microsoft SQL Server). It is hard to imagine another non-OSS database ever entering the top 10.
We had hoped that our association with the principals of the free software movement would result in community adoption and contribution, but that hasn’t really been the case. We see limited community input that relates to our choice of GPL. That might not be too surprising as when you investigate which license to choose on Stackoverflow, you get popular but wrong-headed comments like:
the GNU/GPL bunch are generally extremists when you encounter them in the wild.
don’t use GPL if you want your project to be commercial
With the shift to Apache, TerminusDB is, in a sense, becoming more open source as we are removing restrictions on how you can use the software.
Debate
The core TerminusDB team had a long debate about licenses before the release of 1.0 last year. The main topics of discussion were:
- The risks of a cloud provider forking the code then hosting the database
- What open source means to TerminusDB as a group
- What we, as a community of devs and users, are most comfortable with
1. The big bad cloud providers
In the past there was an unwritten rule, that big platforms wouldn’t come along and fork open source code and deliver the same product as a service. Unfortunately, those days are gone. AWS in particular has actively sought to offer very similar services to open source products. This led to MongoDB, CockroachDB and Confluent (among others) changing their licences to variations of ‘server side’ and moving away from the open-source tradition. They try to say ‘we are still open source, we are just forbidding a specific type of action’, but it can feel like window dressing for ‘we want to sweat our assets’.
Mongo, for example, is hardly suffering – it’s valued at over $15 billion. With such vast resources, they should be (and are) able to compete in the provision of their own database. MongoDB’s technology is more than competitive with AWS’ DocumentDB, and Mongo’s Atlas DBaaS - which runs on AWS infra - has been a huge success.
I’m sure our perspective will shift over time, but from where we’re standing, having a cloud provider launch a competing service would be a sign of enormous success. (And this is not to say that the cloud providers’ parasitic approach to OSS projects is not a genuine problem, it simply acknowledges that you have to be a widely used OSS project before it *becomes* a problem).
2. Free software
We don’t think it should be our job to provide corporations with free labor.
We do think that the software community should be able to access and use TerminusDB.
In 1974 software became copyrightable in the USA. It subsequently became obvious that researchers were giving out software for free, but businesses were not giving back. GNU/GPL came along to provide a new framework for that interface – the software would be free as in freedom (libre). Everybody would be free to modify and distribute, but proprietary additions would not be allowed.
The problem of businesses not giving back remains today.
GPL and copyleft provisions work well when they dominate open-source, but their waning popularity increases the ability for ISVs and corporates to go for more open licensing and for legal teams to write anti-GPL provisions into internal rules. Only significant developer push back can change that reality (and why push back when there are so many OSS options with permissive licenses).
Maybe if MySQL, its offshoot MariaDB, and our graph brothers Neo4j weren’t the only GPL flag flyers in the top 20 databases, it might be easier to gain adoption with GPL; however, the other big OSS players: Postgres, Cassandra, Elastic & Redis all go for less restrictive licenses.
The Affero GPL (AGPL) is treated as an even greater pariah than the GPLv3. The Google internal policy] bans all use of AGPL:
It reminds of this HN comment on the excellent postmortem of the demise of RethinkDB (recommended reading for all OSS folk):
Our graph database brothers and sisters in Neo4j moved from the AGPL to ‘AGPL with a commons clause’ to GPLv3 to making some of the code proprietary. Getting the right license for an OSS project that also allows for some commercialization is far from straightforward. (As Neo certainly know – check out this current court case about the formerly GPL enterprise code).
It seems that Grakn and Fluree are seeing some success with the AGPL. We genuinely wish them well as we know it is a hard path to walk.
3. Our community
We did get some negative feedback about the GPL prior to launch. Some people working in corporates weren’t comfortable and thought that it would prevent them from using Terminus. Our response was – we didn’t develop for them. And that remains the case; however, the GPL skeptical environment is pervasive. There is a person who tweets TerminusDB after every release asking when the Apache version will land – I always ask him why he thinks he needs an Apache version and he doesn’t really know… though he has a vague feeling that the application he builds on top will be less valuable.
We thought we would focus on the cloud offering – TerminusHub, which, as SaaS built on the database, has the benefit of being an in-house ‘product’ that doesn’t worry about the license of the underlying software. However, the community wants to build applications on the software and we want to offer an easy way to build a version control and collaboration layer into ISV applications. We think TerminusDB is the perfect infrastructure to build the next Notion or Roam Research. We worry about the syncing, versioning and data collaboration – you worry about your users.
Why shift Licenses
We do not think that our job is to provide corporations with free labor.
We still believe that “the fundamental act of friendship among programmers is the sharing of programs.”
We would welcome a GPL fork of the TerminusDB code – we are happy to work with any such project should it emerge.
But we wish to build a community first and foremost. In order to facilitate that community, we will be moving to Apache 2.0 immediately.
We are going to continue to focus on creating a great open-source database and allow everybody to use that software in their projects.
Building the database of the future.

EDUCATION
The first president’s formal schooling ended when he was 11 years old, after his father died. That event cut young George off from the opportunity to be educated abroad in England, a privilege that had been afforded to his older half-brothers. Washington’s mother never remarried, forcing the adolescent to shoulder weighty burdens at a young age, as the oldest child of six from his father’s second family. She taught him how to run a tobacco farm, and at the age of 16 he took his first job as a land surveyor. For the rest of his life, Washington would be embarrassed by his stunted schooling.
LOVE
“The world has no business to know the object of my love, declared in this manner to you when I want to conceal it,” Washington wrote weeks before his wedding. The letter wasn’t sent to his fiancée Martha Custis—but to Sally Fairfax, who was married to one of his best friends and patrons, George Fairfax, son of one of Virginia’s largest landowners. Described as an intelligent, “dark-eyed beauty,” Sally befriended Washington when he was still an awkward teen. Historians credit her with helping to smooth his rough edges socially, teaching him how to behave and converse among the wealthy and powerful, and even how to dance the minuet. It’s unclear whether romance actually blossomed between the two.
SECRET SERVICES
Washington struggled mightily to win the Revolutionary War with an army that was perpetually undermanned, undertrained and undersupplied. So to triumph over one of the world’s most powerful military forces, he relied increasingly on his unseen weapon: a secret intelligence network. Throughout the conflict, Washington’s spies helped him make bold, canny decisions that would turn the tide of the conflict—and in some instances, even save his life.
ANIMALS
Washington wasn’t just America’s first president, he was also its first mule breeder. Recognizing the value of the mule for farmers, Washington is believed responsible for creating the mule stock that powered American agriculture in the South for generations.
And mules weren’t the only animals he bred. In addition to many varieties of birds, Washington kept many canine breeds at Mount Vernon, including Dalmatians, English foxhounds, French hounds, Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds, mastiffs, Newfoundlands, pointers, spaniels and terriers. A huge dog lover, he selectively bred hunting dogs for speed over the years and gave them endearing names like Sweet Lips, Venus, Trulove, Taster, Tippler, Drunkard and Madame Moose.

[BINARY] Present - 100 Pts.
We were given this file:
After extracting the contents, we got present.exe.
We can also see what kind of file type it is. A PE binary but packed with UPX (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables)
We can unpack this using the UPX tool.
After unpacking, we can now see that it is a windows PE 32 bit. We can do static analysis against the unpacked PE to investigate what it really does.
To investigate the binary, we used Cutter (radare2 w/ GUI)
First, we have to find the main. From the image above, it is concluded that the “main” identified by the Cutter (highlighted) doesn’t really do that’s interesting. Therefore, we proceeded finding other interesting functions
In the image below, we can see there are two mains:
sym.__main and sym._main
Let’s see what
sym.__main
does… It looks like it only goes to the .ctors of the binary
Let’s check sym._main
… There’s an interesting string that’s encoded in base64
After decoding, we got the flag.
:D :D :D
Thank you for reading!
