CBRE marketing UPMC's never-occupied Freight House Shops space as available for sublease
by By Tim Schooley – ReporterPITTSBURGH - UPMC may not move into the Freight House Shops at Station Square after all.
While the region's largest health system inked a deal last year to establish a new training center as part of a full renovation of the Freight House Shops portion of Station Square, CBRE is now marketing UPMC's 36,435 square feet in the historic railroad building as available for sublease.
UPMC isn't saying much on the matter, but not ruling out using the space.

Ernakulam district includes Kochi city, which is known as the commercial capital of Kerala. The district is famous for its ancient temples, churches, and mosques. The district includes the largest metropolitan region of the state, Greater Cochin.
A stroll through the lanes of Fort Kochi will definitely attract you to the rustic and old-fashioned neighbourhood of Mattancherry. It is said that back in the days, this cheri (street), was lined with mutton butchers, and so it ended up being called “Muttoncherry” which over the years evolved into “Mattancherry”. Today the place exhibits centuries-old architectures and various social and cultural imprints left behind by foreigners. Declared as a heritage site by the government, Mattancherry has been an inspiration to historians, film-makers, travellers and artistes alike.
Vypeen is one of the popular places to visit in Ernakulam in one day. A short and beautiful ferry ride from the city will take to this serene island which is dotted with beaches, backwaters and an array of restaurants and hotels. A desktop worthy scenery away from the bustling environment is what makes Vypeen island one of the best places to visit in Ernakulam for lovers.
Located on the north end of Vypin island in Kochi, Cherai beach is a 15 km stretch of wild and rugged beauty. Although not overwhelmed by hotels or major restaurants, the beach is dotted with small shacks selling local snacks like pakoras and chips. Stunning lagoons, wide paddy fields and coconut grooves adorn the road to the beach. Ernakulam sightseeing is not complete without a visit to Cherai beach.
Hill Palace is a prominent Heritage museum, which exhibits countless number of archaeological relics and belongings of the Maharaja of Kochi. This famous palace, which was built in 1865, comprises forty-nine buildings with enchanting gardens and a children’s park.

This is a Steenrod calculator. A Steenrod square is input like "Sq5" or "P5". The Milnor primitives are written like "Q2". The Bockstein is written as "b". The Milnor basis elements are denoted like "Sq(0,1)" or "P(0, 1)".
In order to multiply two elements you MUST include a "*" between them, for instance "Sq4*Sq2*Sq1". You can use parentheses for grouping as in "(Q2 + Sq7)*Sq2". Input can be an arbitrary homogenous arithmetic expression using +, -, *, and parentheses in these generators. Scalars are denoted like "2*P2". "P1*P1*2", or "-P1*P1" or "P1*P1*-1" are all valid notations.
For convenience, we also allow the notation "A(2 2 2 2)" for $Sq^2 Sq^2 Sq^2 Sq^2$ and "A(1 b 1)" for $P^1 \beta P^1$. The letter "A" here stands for "admissible", though of course the sequences involved are not admissible. We also allow "M(0 0 2)" as an alternate notation for "P(0, 0, 2)" or "Sq(0,0,2)".

Segmentation Image Editor: SegEditorby: Russell RyanSpace Telescope Science Institute3700 San Martin Dr. Baltimore MD, 21218<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
This is designed to edit a segmentation map, such as those produced by Source Extractor (Bertin & Arnouts 1996), in a graphical-user interface (GUI). It requires the segmentation map and a corresponding direct image (ideally, the one from which the segmentation map was generated). It loads these two images with random RGB triplets and grayscale (respectively), then provides basic functionality to zoom, pan, stretch, and reassign random RGB colors. For additional information or if you would like to reference this software, please see the astro-ph listing: Ryan (2018). The latest versions of the software can be obtained from GitHub: https://github.com/Russell-Ryan/segeditor.
This is a fully object-oriented suite, and so the calling sequence is:
IDL> object = obj_new('segeditor',SEGFILE,IMGFILE,[GROUP=group])where SEGFILE and IMGFILE are strings that point to the segmentation map and direct image, respectively. GROUP is a valid widget ID to serve as the group leader, if linking from a separate widget-based program. It is assumed that the User will ensure that these files exist and have the same WCS keywords, as SegEditor currently does not verify these things. Alternatively, the code can be envoked using a classic procedural mechanism:
IDL> segeditor,SEGFILE,IMGFILE,[/help,_EXTRA=_extra]where SEGFILE and IMGFILE have the same meaing as before, but /help displays a basic help menu. The _EXTRA=_extra facilitates passing additional keywords to the object creation. This calling sequence does perform some WCS verification, and so is generally prefered.
Most of the controls are driven by the mouse and the keyboard. To activate the commands, it is generally necessary to left-click on the image of interest, then the commands are:
| Name | Symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| pointer | Basic mouse state, has no real functions other than nomal image pan, zoom, stretch. | |
| delete | Click on a region to delete it | |
| merge | Drag a line to join two regions | |
| erase | Drag to erase pixels under the cursor | |
| draw | Drag to draw a closed region and create a new source | |
| ungroup | Click to disassociate a region from its parent | |
| paint | Click and drag to paint a given SegID to the pixels | |
| range | Drag to draw a box and compute min/max range from the pixels in the box (statistics methods can be changed) |
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| engaged | adjust the opacity between the RGB displayed segmentation image and the grayscale direct image |
| disengaged | adjust the bias/contrast a la ds9 scaling |
| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| SPACE | step the form of the left mouse button |
| Q | Force quit the GUI |
| p | print the image to a postscript file |
| q | quit the GUI |
| r | redo last region event |
| s | save the segmentation map |
| u | undo the last region event |
These buttons facilitate a variety of operations:
| Name | Symbol | Description |
|---|---|---|
| new | Erase all the regions to create a blank segmentation map | |
| save | Save the current segmentation map | |
| prefs | Edit the properties of the GUI | |
| text | Edit the properties of the texts | |
| undo | Undo the last region action | |
| clear | Clear the undo/redo history | |
| redo | Redo the last region action | |
| table | Inspect the regions properties in a tabular way | |
| operations | Open sub-GUI to perform additional image operations (dilating and eroding regions, and truncating to the lowest set of positive integers) | |
| random | Define a new set of random RGB triplets for the segmentation map | |
| help | View this help page |
There are several properties governing the cursor, zoom speed, text displays, statistics methods, and stetching parameters, which can be set by the property-sheet button. The properites of the text fields shown in the main graphics window are set by the text button.


Renee
The super friendly rack-based web framework.
Introduction
Renee is a new Rack-based library for describing web applications. Sinatra delivered a new simple way to think about building web applications. The popularity of Sinatra both as a library and as a concept shows now enduring the concept really was. Sinatra was different from Rails because the entire DSL was lightweight, easy to read and combined routing and actions into a single file. However, let's consider an example from Sinatra to see where we can improve upon this.
Consider:
ruby
get '/blog/:id' do
Blog.get(params[:id])
end
This is not too bad so far. The repetition of :id
is a bit un-DRY, but not bad. Let's keep expanding upon this.
```ruby get '/blog/:id' do Blog.get(params[:id]) end
put '/blog/:id' do Blog.get(params[:id]).update_attributes(params) end ```
Now, we've retrieved blog in two places. Time to refactor. We'd normally create a before filter, with the same path.
```ruby before '/blog/:id' do @blog = Blog.get(params[:id]) end
get '/blog/:id' do @blog end
put '/blog/:id' do @blog.update_attributes(params) end ```
Now we've repeated the same path three times. With Renee, we can describe these kind of ideas in a simple, easy-to-read way. Here is the equivalent in Renee.
```ruby path 'blog' do var do |id|
@blog = Blog.get(id) get { halt @blog } put { @blog.update(request.params); halt :ok}
end end ```
This web library is inspired by Sinatra, but offers an approach more inline with Rack itself, and lets you maximize code-reuse within your application.
Installation
Setup Renee by running:
gem install renee
or by adding Renee
to your Gemfile
:
```ruby
Gemfile
gem "renee", "~> 0.0.1" ```
Now you can start using Renee for your application!
Usage
In your rackup file, give this a go!
```ruby require 'renee'
run Renee.core { path('test') do
get { halt "Hey, this is a get!" } post { halt "and .. a post" } var do |id| halt "Getting the blog with id #{id}" end
end } ```
This rack-app will respond to GET /test with "Hey, this is a get!", POST /test with "and .. a post" and /test/:id with "Getting the blog with id #{id}"
.
A more complete example might be sample RESTful routing definitions for a blog post resource:
```ruby require 'renee'
run Renee.core { path('posts') do
@posts = Post.all # GET /posts get { render! "index" } # POST /posts post { redirect! "/posts/index" } path('new') do # GET /posts/new get { render! "new" } end var :integer do |id| @post = Post.find(id) # GET /posts/5 get { render! 'show' } # PUT /posts/5 put { halt "update" } # DELETE /posts/5 delete { halt "delete" } path('edit') do # GET /posts/5/edit get { render! "edit" } end end
end } ```
This implements the standard 7 REST actions in a very concise and simple way. The routes and the actions blended together utilizing the various Renee routing methods and block syntax. The routing methods are defined below, followed by an explanation of how to respond to a route.

Because the number one outdoor city in america deserves the best outdoor map in america. Currently most organizations maintain their maps as images or PDFs which makes them inaccessible to both potential users and developers. Chattanooga needs one map to rule them all so that everyone has access to one amazingly designed outdoor map.
An open (free) beautiful basemap designed specifically for outdoor activities. This map would be free to use on websites and mobile apps. This map would be created, designed and maintained by the community for the broader community as a whole.
There are three main ways to contribute to the project.

Federal authorities announced on Wednesday the arrest of the alleged mastermind of KickassTorrents (KAT), the world’s largest BitTorrent distribution site. As of this writing, the site is still up.
Prosecutors have formally charged Artem Vaulin, 30, of Ukraine, with one count of conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement, one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering, and two counts of criminal copyright infringement.
Like The Pirate Bay, KAT does not host individual infringing files but rather provides links to .torrent and .magnet files so that users can download unauthorized copies of TV shows, movies, and more from various BitTorrent users.
According to a Department of Justice press release sent to Ars, Vaulin was arrested on Wednesday in Poland. The DOJ will shortly seek his extradition to the United States.
“Vaulin is charged with running today’s most visited illegal file-sharing website, responsible for unlawfully distributing well over $1 billion of copyrighted materials,” Assistant Attorney General Caldwell said in the statement. “In an effort to evade law enforcement, Vaulin allegedly relied on servers located in countries around the world and moved his domains due to repeated seizures and civil lawsuits. His arrest in Poland, however, demonstrates again that cybercriminals can run, but they cannot hide from justice.”
According to the 50-page affidavit authored by Jared Der-Yeghiayan, Vaulin and KAT claimed that they respected the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but they did not. Der-Yeghiayan is a special agent with Homeland Securities Investigations and also was a key witness in the trial of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht.
When Hollywood and other film studios filed a notice-and-takedown for a potential DMCA violation, KAT would respond this way:
Greetings,
Your request has been reviewed, but cannot be processed due to one (or
more) of the following reasons:
1) The Claim wasn't written in English language;
2) You provided no evidence showing that you are the copyright holder
or that you are acting on behalf of the copyright holder;
3) You provided no evidence showing that the content is legally
copyrighted;
4) There were more then [sic] 30 torrents mentioned in the Claim email;
5) Your content is hosted on a different website.
Please, make sure to fulfill all the conditions mentioned above before
sending a claim.
You can find more detailed information regarding the DMCA email
layout via the following article - https://kat.cr/dmca/
Respectfully,
KAT team
Der-Yeghiayan also estimated KAT's annual advertising revenue as being more than $16 million per year as of 2016.
In the complaint, the HSI agent also describes how an undercover IRS agent purchased an ad on KAT in March 2016 at the rate of $300 per day. The KAT representative, "Mr. White," provided details for a Latvian bank but warned the American buyer to "make sure that you don’t mention KAT anywhere."
After a successful five-day ad buy, the undercover IRS agent again tried to buy another ad. Mr. White told him that the existing "faster download" ads were all sold out but that he could buy a pricier banner ad at $1,000 to $3,200 per day.
By May, Mr. White informed the undercover agent of new banking details, this time in Estonia. Through the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) process, US investigators were able to easily obtain those bank records.
HSI and IRS looked into the historical hosting records of KAT and found that for about 3.5 years, ending in January 2016, the operation was hosted out of Chicago, Illinois, which explains why the case is now being prosecuted out of the Northern District of Illinois. The site also used a Canadian hosting service—the two American agencies also used MLAT to get an image of the Canadian server.

Copyright (c) 2003-2006 by The BioBike Team (contact Jeff Shrager for more information)
The question that we are most frequently asked by engineers and computer scientists is: "Why did you base BioBike on Lisp, instead of some 'modern' programming language, like C/C++, Java, PERL, or Python; Isn't Lisp an archaic, dead, and anyway impossibly complex programming language?"
First, Lisp is far from archaic or dead! Although it is one of the oldest programming languages (invented in the early 1960s, along with Fortran!), it is still widely used in the Artificial Intelligence community, and is the first programming language taught in intro computer science courses at many top universities, including MIT and Berkeley. (Actually, what's taught is usually Scheme, a dialect of Lisp; Common Lisp can be thought of as an industrial form of Scheme.)
Lisp is also the only programming language with certain very useful features, such as true macros, that are critical when you are inventing a new programming language, like BioBike, because they enable you to extend Lisp's syntax1. Lisp is the most natural language in which to write complex 'symbolic reasoning' programs, which are the heart of BioBike's novel capabilities. Symbolic reasoning involves manipulating conceptual objects, such as 'genes', 'ontologies', 'pathway models', and the like, and Lisp was built specifically for this sort of manipulation (although not specifically for biology at the time). This is why it has remained popular in the most advanced computing circles, esp. in Artificial Intelligence.
As for being impossibly complex, it's not any more complex than any other programming language. (Those who don't know Chinese think it's hard too, but the Chinese don't!) Many other 'modern' programming languages have been based directly on Lisp; Python, for example, is just a near approximation to Lisp. (See Peter Norvig's comparison here.) One of us (Shrager) teaches Lisp to both programmers and non-programmers regularly. Lisp is often taught to non-programmers because it has very simple syntax (requiring only the balancing of parentheses), and deals naturally with complex symbolic computations (as above), so musicians, writers, and others who want to write programs that deal with complex structured knowledge find Lisp easy and powerful. We think that biologists will as well.
As for C/C++/Java, those languages are of a very different sort than Lisp and Python (and to a large extent PERL). Lisp, et al., are essentially interactive programming languages; You write small concise programs that do small concise things, and test them in small concise ways. C and friends are designed for writing large, industrial-strength programs, and have lots of features -- such as required type declarations -- that make them run FAST, but which at the same time make them difficult to use for small, concise applications. (Lisp, by the way, is no slouch in the area of speed! It has decades of excellent compiler development underneath that makes well-written Lisp code run at nearly the speed of C (better than half as fast, in many cases). Of course, you can write a slow program in any programming language! Also, as pattern matching is a big thing these days, it's interesting to note that a PERL-compatible pattern matcher written entirely in Lisp is as fast as, and in some cases faster than, the PERL pattern matcher itself! Code and comparisons here.) We use this pattern matcher.
Bottom line: Why Lisp? Because it's the right language for the job!
Other essays along similar lines:
Notes:
1. Python, which is more-or-less lisp w/o the parens, is missing several critical features to do what we do in BioBike, esp. true macros, which enable you to manipulate expressions, create sub langauages, and engage in applicative programming. Someday the Python crowd will realize that uniform syntax is a good thing, and will re-adopt parens (or something like them), and then Python will just be Lisp again, and much the better for it!

Isthmia-Temple of Poseidon
"I have, through the god's favor, countless roads in every direction, O Melissos- since at the Isthmian games you revelead an abundant resource- to pursue in song your family's achievements, in which the Kleonymidai ever flourish with a god's help, as they travel to the mortal end of life. At different times different winds rush upon all humans and drive them on"
Pindar - Isthmian Odes (For Melissos of Thebe, winner, pancratium)
Isthmia is an ancient city located on the Isthmus of Corinth in Greece. It is well known for being home to the Isthmian Games and is also the site of major Greek monuments, such as the Temple of Isthmia that honors the Greek God, Poseidon.
Isthmian Games were one of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, and were named after the Isthmus of Corinth, where they were held. As with the Nemean Games, the Isthmian Games were held both the year before and the year after the Olympic Games (the second and fourth years of an Olympiad), while the Pythian Games were held in the third year of the Olympiad cycle.
The Games were reputed to have originated as funeral games for Melicertes (also known as Palaemon), instituted by Sisyphus, legendary founder and king of Corinth, who discovered the dead body and buried it subsequently on the Isthmus. In Roman times, Melicertes was worshipped in the region.
Theseus, legendary king of Athens, expanded Melicertes' funeral games from a closed nightly rite into fully-fledged athletic-games event which was dedicated to Poseidon, open to all Greeks, and was at a suitable level of advancement and popularity to rival those in Olympia, which were founded by Heracles. Theseus arranged with the Corinthians for any Athenian visitors to the Isthmian games to be granted the privilege of front seats. Another version states that Kypselos, tyrant of Corinth in the 7th century BC, returned to the Games their old splendour.
If we are to accept the traditional date of the first Olympic Games (776 BC), we can say that the first Isthmian Games would have been held in 582 BC.
At least until the 5th century BC (Pindar's time) the winners of the Isthmian games received a wreath of celery; later, the wreath was altered such that it consisted of pine leaves. Victors could also be honored with a statue or an ode. Besides these prizes of honor, the city of Athens awarded victorious Athenians with an extra 100 drachmas. (Wikipedia)

The topological scope of a variable within a basic block.
Within a basic block, the topological scope of a variable can be considered a contiguous range of p-code operations. This range can be described with a start and stop PcodeOp object, indicating all p-code operations between the two inclusive. The start and stop may hold special encodings meaning:
| int4 CoverBlock::boundary | ( | const PcodeOp * | point | ) | const |
Characterize given point as boundary.
Return:
| point | is the given PcodeOp point |
| bool CoverBlock::contain | ( | const PcodeOp * | point | ) | const |
|
static |
Get the comparison index for a PcodeOp.
PcodeOp objects and a CoverBlock start/stop boundaries have a natural ordering that can be used to tell if a PcodeOp falls between boundary points and if CoverBlock objects intersect. Ordering is determined by comparing the values returned by this method.
| op | is the PcodeOp and/or boundary point |
| int4 CoverBlock::intersect | ( | const CoverBlock & | op2 | ) | const |
Compute intersection with another CoverBlock.
Characterize the intersection of this range with another CoverBlock. Return:
| op2 | is the other CoverBlock to compare |
| void CoverBlock::merge | ( | const CoverBlock & | op2 | ) |
Merge another CoverBlock into this.
Compute the union of this with the other given CoverBlock, replacing this in place.
| op2 | is the other given CoverBlock |
| void CoverBlock::print | ( | ostream & | s | ) | const |
Dump a description to stream.
Print a description of the covered range of ops in this block
| s | is the output stream |

Mother TeresaEverybody remembers Mother Teresa as a living saint. Mother T was a Catholic nun who helped the destitute and homeless of Calcutta, and who became an international emissary of peace and charity after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.But nobody seems to remember the crazy things M.T. said about abortion, contraception, and divorce. Or her endless self-aggrandizing through exaggeration and lies. Or the various brutal dictators and other sleazeballs she hung out with. Or especially what happened to all those financial donations (hundreds of millions of dollars) which never seemed to get spent on anything. At least they weren't spent on food, medicine, or housing for the poor. Mother Teresa was born in Macedonia in 1910. Her given name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. As a girl she decided to become a missionary, and at age 18 left home to join a convent in Calcutta. She taught at St. Mary's High School until 1948, when she received permission to leave her order and embark on her life's mission of helping the poor. In 1950, she founded The Missionaries of Charity, a religious order dedicated to caring for the indigent residents of Calcutta. In time, the little charity blossomed into a reasonably well-funded endeavor. So far, so good. Then some guy from the BBC shows up in 1969 and points a movie camera at Mother T. The result is the documentary Something Beautiful for God. The hagiography instantly confers celebrity status on its unknown subject. And the film is followed by a book of the same name. Suddenly, Mother Teresa had become a household name. And then something happened. In December 1971, India and Pakistan fought a bloody 15-day war, resulting in the creation of Bangladesh. In the aftermath, horrific stories of war crimes abounded. The Pakistanis had perpetrated ruthless genocide against the local Hindu population. They had committed arson, looting, and wanton killing as part of an overall effort to exterminate the Hindus. And more than 450,000 women had been systematically gangraped by Pakistani soldiers. Thousands were abducted for sex slaves and held captive in the barracks. They were often mutilated, and sometimes raped until they died. One account described an eight year old girl whose vagina was slit open because it could not accomodate the men's genitalia. She too was raped until she died. These stories prompted Mother Teresa to come forward. In the aftermath of the war, thousands of the rape victims were now pregnant. Mother Teresa made public appeals for the women to keep their unborn babies, and not abort them. She offered no condolences for the dead women, no sympathy for the surviving victims, and not a word about the soldiers. Her sole interest in the matter was preventing abortions. Mother T had a lifelong obsession with abortion. It was her central issue. She was fundamentally opposed to it, regardless of circumstances. She was against abortion in all cases, even in the case of rape, incest, or risk to the woman's health. In her acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976, she made her stance clear: "Abortion is the worst evil, and the greatest enemy of peace ...  Nothing." In 1993 she was asked about a case in Ireland about a 14-year-old rape victim. Mother T remarked: "Abortion can never be necessary because it is pure killing." Needless to say, M.T. was equally opposed to contraception in all forms. But her ideals always seemed to take a back seat around her friends, the dictators. In 1975, Indira Ghandi imposed martial law in India. During the two year "state of emergency" she suspended the constitution, imposed censorship on the news media, and arrested her political enemies. Indira's son Sanjay spearheaded an effort in population control for the poor, wherein they were rounded up and forcibly sterilized. Despite her lifelong opposition to contraception and presumptive support for human rights, Mother Teresa chose to embrace the new order and issued a public statement lauding the government's efforts. The western press was shocked. Mother T drew wide criticism for her endorsement, even from the Catholic press. But she never withdrew her comments. And it didn't stop there. In 1981, she flew to Haiti to accept the Legion d'Honneur from Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. In return, she declared that the Duvaliers loved their poor, and that their love was reciprocated. (Shortly thereafter, the Duvaliers were forced to flee Haiti and live out their days in exile.) In 1989, Mother Teresa traveled back to Albania to pay respects to Enver Hoxha, one of the most repressive rulers of the 20th century. She laid a wreath at his grave and drew wide criticism for it. She had other questionable supporters as well. Charles Keating, who stole in excess of $252 million in the Savings and Loan scandal of the 1980s, donated $1.25 million of his loot to Mother Teresa. When he was eventually caught, M.T. interceded on his behalf and wrote a letter to the court urging leniency. When the district attorney wrote back informing her that the money she had received was stolen money, she made no attempt to reply. She also accepted money from the embezzler Robert Maxwell, who stole £450 million from his employees' pension funds (and committed suicide rather than face Scotland Yard). In fact, the Missionaries of Charity probably garner annual donations in excess of $100 million worldwide. (It's only "probably" because her organization patently refuses to release their financials.) Where does all that money go? It certainly doesn't go into health care for her wards. People get the misconception that her facilities operate as hospices or medical clinics. This is not so. Those facilities are devoted to giving people someplace to lay down and die. M.T. herself named them "Houses of the Dying." Over the years, her organization has grown to support a worldwide network of schools and soup kitchens, but these are rather modest affairs and require very little cash to maintain. In fact, one former staffer of the New York branch revealed that although there was more than $50 million sitting in the bank, the local subsidiary continued to appeal to the public for more donations. There is no telling how much money resides in all their other accounts around the world. Of course, when she required her own medical care, only the best would do. In public, she declined a 1984 offer for free cataract surgery from the St Francis Medical Center, worth $5,000. But the following year, she quietly received the same treatment at St. Vincent's Hospital in New York. Not to mention visits to the Scripps Clinic and the Gemelli Hospital, and numerous visits for cardiac care at the Birla Heart Institute in Calcutta. At some point she got a pacemaker installed. And let's not forget that exorcism. During one of her hospitalizations in Calcutta, the local archbishop noticed that Mother T had a habit of fitfully pulling out her EKG sensors at night. He told her that she "might be under the attack of the evil one" and offered to arrange an exorcism. She agreed. After it was over, the archbishop says M.T. "slept like a baby." From which one could reasonably conclude that Satan had indeed been working to possess her. In the April 1996 issue of Ladies Home Journal M.T. disclosed that she wished to finish her life in one of her own Houses of the Dying, just like those poor people she attended to. But when she died the following year, she was in her private bedroom, surrounded by modern cardiac machinery. |


A good way to test something with Angular is to use the typescript.js transpiler at runtime, because you don't need to install anything to use it. But again, if this is perfect for POCs, it's not recommended at all for production purposes...
Here is a minimal application sample :

It has been the decision of the ruling party in China to place an emphasis on commissioning grand architectural projects from
prestigious foreign architects, such as Rem Koolhaas in this case. Koolhaas is not alone as a foreign architect working in a country
with little history of democracy. Similar architects such as Norman Foster have also been commissioned to build grand structures in China
(in Foster's case, Beijing Capital International Airport).
I learned about the cultural significance of the building to China as a whole. There are fears from some that the tower will resemble a
Chinese version of Hitler's Reich Chancellery. "If there are protests in the Chinese countryside or more upheavals in Tibet, decisions
about how to cover those events on Chinese television will be made in the Koolhaas building."
Koolhaas has receieved some criticism for taking on the CCTV project, out of fears that he is enabling an autocratic government
that spies on its people. Koolhaas has refuted this, and says he hopes one day the state-controlled media company will function
"like the BBC".

“The pilot project for admission of girl children in Sainik School, Chhingchhip (Mizoram) was started in the academic session 2018-19. After its success, the Government has decided to implement admission of girl children in other Sainik Schools,” Naik said.
In reply to a supplementary, the minister said girls will be admitted in “all 31 Sainik Schools” and for this, a “time-bound action will be taken.”
In reply to another supplementary, Naik said the government has made a provision of 10 per cent reservation for girls in such schools.
In reply to another query, the minister said that if any state felt the need for Sainik Schools they can send the proposal to the Centre.

River! That in silence windest
Through the meadows, bright and free,
Till at length thy rest thou findest
In the bosom of the sea!
Four long years of mingled feeling,
Half in rest, and half in strife,
I have seen thy waters stealing
Onward, like the stream of life.
Thou hast taught me, Silent River!
Many a lesson, deep and long;
Thou hast been a generous giver;
I can give thee but a song.
Oft in sadness and in illness,
I have watched thy current glide,
Till the beauty of its stillness
Overflowed me, like a tide.
And in better hours and brighter,
When I saw thy waters gleam,
I have felt my heart beat lighter,
And leap onward with thy stream.
Not for this alone I love thee,
Nor because thy waves of blue
From celestial seas above thee
Take their own celestial hue.
Where yon shadowy woodlands hide thee,
And thy waters disappear,
Friends I love have dwelt beside thee,
And have made thy margin dear.
More than this;—thy name reminds me
Of three friends, all true and tried;
And that name, like magic, binds me
Closer, closer to thy side.
Friends my soul with joy remembers!
How like quivering flames they start,
When I fan the living embers
On the hearthstone of my heart!
‘Tis for this, thou Silent River!
That my spirit leans to thee;
Thou hast been a generous giver,
Take this idle song from me.

Ulysses is a high quality writing tool and Working Copy is a Git client for iPad and iPhone.
Git is a popular versioning system for managing projects where many files change or where edits can be made by many people. It requires small explanations to accompany changes which helps make sense of the project over time. Git is heavily used in software development but is useful when keeping track of changes over time is a challenge.
Projects in Git are called repositories and each person working on a project has a copy on their computer, phone or tablet. All work is collected in a shared remote repository on services such as GitHub.
Working Copy can manage Git repositories and make these available in the Files app and Ulysses is able to edit these without needing to copy anything between the apps.
First step is to clone your repository in Working Copy. Inside Ulysses you enter Settings > Library, tap Add from Other Location… and navigate to the folder inside Working Copy. You should enable the Read and Write Markdown Files switch as Git is best suited for text files.
As you make edits the files in Working Copy are marked as modified and changed lines and words are highlighted. If you are happy with your work you Commit, writing a short message explaining what was changed and why you made the change.
You can go through the history of a project by reviewing previous commits looking at changes and the author behind each change.
You Pull down commits from the remote to get the work made by others. As long as all edits are made in different different parts of the project Git knows how to combine the changes. When several people change the same paragraph there is no safe way for a computer to determine how the changes should be combined. You resolve such conflicts by picking the text you want manually.
You make changes available to other people on your project by Pushing to the remote repository and this can be done as part of the Commit.
Not every writing project benefits from the explicit change tracking in Git, but if you have many files, many participants or a long running project it is often worth the effort. Ulysses and Working Copy combines a great writing experience with easy to use Git cababilities.

Figure 1. The total estimated presences per day for all
types of people in the city of Florence during the summer. We can see
that on an average day, one third of the people in the city are
tourists. That ratio increases in the month of August as foreign
tourism remains somewhat constant, whereas the resident population
makes a dip. We can also see cyclic activity that is likely due in
part to reduced calling on weekends.
Figure 2. The breakdown of the estimates for foreign
presence. The breaks are done by region of the world, with the most
common tourist countries (The United States, France, Germany, Spain,
and China) plotted separately instead of aggregated into their region.
This shows that peak visiting months are not the same for every country.
Figure 3. The breakdown of the estimates for presence
of Italian visitors. We see that the majority of Italian visitors to
Florence come from elsewhere in Tuscany.

Lucas Torreira's agent admits he is unhappy with Unai Emery as he considers Arsenal exit
The midfielder has been linked with a move back to Italy previously and has failed to hold down a regular starting berth at the Emirates this season
by Darren Wells, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/darren-wells/Lucas Torreira is unhappy with Arsenal manager Unai Emery, according to the players' agent.
The Uruguayan international has started just four Premier League games so far this season for the Gunners, and has seemingly been ousted from the defensive midfield role.
Torreira was one of few positives to come out of last season for Arsenal, after impressing at the base of his team's midfield.
However he is said to be annoyed at Emery for changing his role and moving him into a more advanced position.
The 23-year-old has been linked with a a move away from the Emirates previously, and his agent Raffaele Bentancur did little to dispel any rumours.
"Anything is possible in football," Bentancur told Radio Marte. "Torreira is happy at Arsenal, although the change in role has not made him happy.
"It must be said that this year the whole team is not doing well. But I believe Arsenal wants to keep him."
AC Milan are big admirers of Torreira, while Napoli tried to sign him in 2018 before he moved to England.
Speaking of his lack of game time, Torreira said recently: "I don’t know whether I’d say it’s frustrating.
“All players want to play, they obviously want to be in the starting XI – that’s completely normal.
“But that’s not something that depends on me.
“It’s down to the coach to make those decisions and really I have to respect that.
“Right now it’s about not giving up.
“You have to continue working hard and whether I’m playing in the starting XI or from the bench I want to give my all for the team."
Torreira's Arsenal future could be affected by teammate Granit Xhaka, with the former captain looking likely to leave the club.
Milan are interested in signing the Swiss star, which could put them off of a move for Torreira, but also open up more first-team opportunities for him.
Newcastle are also interested in offering Xhaka a Premier League lifeline and could make a loan bid for the midfielder in January.

Tomas Berdych Announces Retirement From Tennis
by SW EditorTomas Berdych confirmed on Saturday at the ATP Finals in London that he was retiring 17 years after turning professional.
The Czech world number 103 won 13 titles, reaching a career-high of fourth in the rankings in 2015.
Berdych, 34, was a top-10 player from July 2010 until October 2016 but has struggled with a back injury over the past two seasons.
He never won a Grand Slam title, coming closest at Wimbledon in 2010, where he beat Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic before losing to Rafael Nadal in the final.
Together with Radek Stepanek, he led the Czech Republic to Davis Cup wins in 2012 and 2013.
Berdych said he had decided to stop playing soon after this year’s US Open.
He said the highlight of his career was reaching the Wimbledon final.
“I was in the finals in Wimbledon in 2010 beating Djokovic, Federer, before losing to Nadal,” he said. “I won a Masters in Bercy (Paris). And two Davis Cups.
“Maybe strange, but I would say the Wimbledon. Not the win — not the victory at the end, but for me, still, like, very, very special moment. Even the final that I lost, it was very, very special moment.”

Before describing the details of the Tcl/Tk library we will give an overview of how it works with the Prolog system.
The Tcl/Tk library provides a loosely coupled integration of Prolog and Tcl/Tk. By this we mean that the two systems, Prolog and Tcl/Tk, although joined through the library, are mostly separate; Prolog variables have nothing to do with Tcl variables, Prolog and Tcl program states are separate, and so on.
The Tcl/Tk library extends Prolog so that Prolog can create a number of independent Tcl interpreters with which it can interact. Basically, there is a predicate, which when executed creates a Tcl interpreter and returns a handle with which Prolog can interact with the interpreter.
Prolog and a Tcl interpreter interact, and so communicate and cooperate, through two ways:
This is synchronous communication in that the caller waits until the callee has finished their evaluation and reads the result.
This is asynchronous communication in that the receiver of the message can read the message whenever it likes, and the sender can send the message without having to wait for a reply.
The Tk part of Tcl/Tk comes in because an attached Tcl interpreter may be extended with the Tk widget set and so be a Tcl/Tk interpreter. This makes it possible to add GUIs to a Prolog application: the application loads the Tcl/Tk Prolog library, creates a Tcl/Tk interpreter, and sends commands to the interpreter to create a Tk GUI. The user interacts with the GUI and therefore with the underlying Prolog system.
There are two main ways to partition the Tcl/Tk library functions: by function, i.e. the task they perform; or by package, i.e. whether they are Tcl, Tk, or Prolog functions. We will describe the library in terms of the former because it fits in with the tutorial style better, but at the end is a summary section that summarizes the library functions both ways.
Taking the functional approach, the library can be split into six function groups:
We go through each group in turn.

Welcome back to another week! I will be focusing on improving my Blog's accessibility! I will be using the Google Audit tool to help locate area's in my blog that need enhancing for better usage. This is made available on Google Chrome's browser, called Inspect, to have this appear, right-click on the page you want to analyze. Simple as that!
You will notice a console with the term Audit, Developer's like to use this to detect mean's to increase performance and functionality of a website. In addition, I will make changes to enhance my homepage's appearance and navigation menu, I feel this will help with the performance rating.
I did not face technical challenges during my adjustments, luckily I was able to understand how to carry-out my improvements. The recommendations from the Audit console had simple instructions which allowed me to proceed without confusion.
I love utilizing Bootstrap in my blog and with other coding project's!! It may be hard to understand at first, but with practice bootstrap does make your life easier. Using BootStraps grid system allowed me to easily set up my content's structure fast, minimizing the amount of CSS that would have been needed.

You’ve been hearing about machine learning in the last few years, especially on the day on which AlphaGo was hotter than Donald Trump. You felt excited, you wanted to know what it is, or even more, you wanted to dig into it. But you just still can’t get it? Let me help you this time.
Well, I’ve got no intention to repeat something that was already written on Wikipedia (you’re tired of it, right?). So my definition of Machine Learning is: we don’t teach the computers to work anymore, we make them learn, to do things itself!
Still confused? Let’s see something cool instead.
So as you can see in the picture, we have a model (the big one in the middle), an input which takes care of something call (Feature, Label) and an output which gives us something call Activation.
Let’s imagine you want the computer to do you a favor: to tell you whether there is a dog in an image. So it becomes much clearer when I match up everything like the image below:
Firstly, what is Features? If this is the first time you hear it, then congratulations, you will see this keyword everywhere, everywhen from now on (as long as you keep up with Machine Learning, of course). So let’s make it simple. Look at the dog. He has four legs (like the other dogs on Earth), his nose is black, he is hanging out his tongue, he has a tail, … Yeah, those are what come up when you see this dog, and importantly, you will see those in other dogs too. So it turns out to be some distinct features which make human’s brain know it just saw a dog. Wait a minute, did I just say Features? Well, I hope you get the point here. So, Features are something distinct that make something different than the others. Human’s brain recognises something by their Features, so why don’t we teach the computer that trick? (Come on, don’t be that selfish man)
I know you’re excited now. Ready to move on? So what about Label? Well, it’s much simpler than the Feature. Label is a name of guys who have specific features. So we call guy who have four legs, one black nose, one long tongue and one long tail a DOG. Well, I just can’t make it simpler. So what about the other guys? At this time, I just call them “Not a dog”. Maybe you will ask me why I don’t make it more specific, just like “a Cat”, “a Bird” or something. You will have the answer when we come to Logistic Regression. Oh my God, please don’t care about that name. I’ll remind you when the time is up. So please stay patient :) There is a lot of fun ahead, I promise.
So I’ve talked about Features and Labels, but what to do next? Remember when we were kids, our parents bought us some picture books? Then we spent days after days, kept pointing in and speak out loud names of things we saw, with so much pride. Omg, my parents must be so patient with me back in the day. So what the hell does the childhood’s story make sense here? Well, we will do exactly what our parents did. We show them images, a large amount of them, just like this:
As you can see, each image is labeled whether the image contains a dog. Just like what we did in the past, the computer will try to learn from the images we shown them. I said it LEARNS, not MEMORIZES. We could learn, so can the computer, right?
And lastly, what is Activation? Simply speaking, we can call it a Guess. Imagine your computer knew how to tell whether it saw a dog (we just assume that, we’ll back to it right below), then you show it some image it has never seen before, so it has to Guess, based on its own mind. And you can easily figure it out, the Guess (or Activation) must be one of the Labels we taught them. (We can’t teach them about Dogs, then force them to recognise a Cat, it doesn’t make any sense right?)
To make it more concrete, let’s see the image below:
Yeah, at least the computer can now distinguish between a Dog and a Crab. Wait! It doesn’t know about a Crab, at this point it only know the second image is NOT a Dog. Okay, whatever, though. It gets better someday, definitely.
So up to this point, I assume that you can draw your own sketch about what Machine Learning actually is, what Machine Learning actually does (or be done). Quite simple right? Then I have something for you:
WAIT! Where’re you going? Grabbing your algebraic book or something? Or just finding your PS4’s controller? Take it easy, man.   Because I’m afraid after you read this post, you’ll run outside, tell your friends about Machine Learning, yeah you’ll tell them about something like “four-leg feature”, “long-tail feature”, “a Dog”, or “not a Dog”… Please don’t do that. Sorry, I’m just joking, kind of over-joking. Let’s get back to business. We all know about binary number (something like a switch with On-Off state, 0 or 1). And sadly, that’s what computer can understand. So it won’t see something like “four-leg feature”, “long-tail feature”. The things they actually see is just boring repeating 0s and 1s. All I want to say here is, Features, Labels & Activations, they’re all matrices to computers. At this point I just want you to know it. (Maybe I don’t even need to speak that long, right? Sorry, my bad again!)
Let me summarize all the things we talked above by the image below:
Sounds familiar, right? Let’s imagine the Dog recognition is taken place somewhere in the computer, we call it a Model. The final goal is to help create this. We don’t create, we’re just the helpers, the computer must handle it alone. Don’t forget that it’s the one that learns :)
So next step is, Training? Sounds like we’re in the middle of the pitch and do some crazy training, just like Cristiano Ronaldo? No, of course we don’t (or actually we can’t). We’re not training muscles, we’re training the brain, the computer brain. That’s the process when the computer learn from the images we shown it. But let’s talk a little bit about how it learns. We won’t even teach them (although we said machine LEARNING, so learning from what?) Imagine the label of each image is printed on the back so the computer can’t see. I know you got it. Exactly what we do with our flashcards, the things you can’t live without to prepare for your SAT, GMAT or something like that. Firstly, the computer will try to guess, without knowing anything about what a Dog should look like. Then it flips the back over, sees the answer, and learns. Yep, it learns from making MISTAKES. Just like human does, the bigger the mistake is, the faster it learns.
Then next step is Evaluation?  It will try to guess each image until it finish the 100th one. Then it counts the number of right guesses. For example, there are 69 right guesses, so it has a probability of 69% in recognising whether there is a dog. Not so bad, right? That’s what we call Evaluation. The computer evaluates its own work:
But what if the evaluation result can’t satisfy us? We just tell the computer about that, it will update its own Parameters.  So much new keywords today! (Maybe many of you want to tell me that!) Remember the Model I said above? Parameters are just something put into the Model, just like machines in the factory. If something goes wrong with the product, they just have them fixed. Exactly the same with Parameters. Simple, right? Just as the image above, let’s call it ‘θ’. Some other places you will see thay use ‘W’ for Weights, and ‘b’ for Biases, but right now for the sake of simplicity, just remember ‘θ’. Don’t ask me about the naming convention, I don’t know!
So the loop Training-Evaluating-Parameter Updating is actually the core of Machine Learning. Until now, I think you can accept this easily without hurt. Thanks again, cool Dogs in the beginning :)
So last, but not least, I just want you to do me a favor. I’m definitely sure you can. Did you notice the question mark on the fifth image (The annoying image with some kind of algebraic matrices)? So that’s the last thing I want to reveal in the end of this post.
Okay, such a long function which likely comes from hell. Please ignore it right now. All I need you to know are just: Activation Function, Bias and Weights. I won’t make it long this time. So from Feature to Activation, we’ll go through Activation Function, very easy to remember, right? The parameter standing alone is call Bias, the other parameters which have their own Xs, are called Weights. That’s all for today. Why are they called Bias & Weights, I’ll reveal it in the next tutorial.
So, finally we made it till the end. You may ask why I had to make such a long post, and sometimes talked so much about simple things.  So I have to make sure you don’t make any wrong assumption in the beginning, you know, people make mistakes by inappropriate assumptions, right?
Hope this post is helpful to you on the long-run towards your Machine Learning’s targets.
So stay updated, and I’ll meet you on the next post of this tutorial. See ya!


PAST VOLUNTEERS THOUGHTS ON THEIR EcoMed Project EXPERIENCE…
- It is almost impossible to pick one moment and define it as the best; especially on a trip like this! Each day was filled with a variety of moments. They were beautiful, moving, funny, disturbing, inspiring, eye opening, and even life changing. Most importantly, however, they are all unforgettable. But my true HIGH of the trip, the best feeling I had, came from the feedback from the sisters, surgeons and clinic staff. Members from each of these groups pulled me aside to thank me for my help, and commend my performance. I felt like an effective part of the team that was making a difference in people’s lives. That was the greatest height I could reach! The feeling was indescribable. – Jason Burmeister
- I enjoyed the day-to-day clinical experience. It was great to see the differences in cultures and how medicine is treated compared to the US. I enjoyed meeting the patients and seeing the in-patients daily. Jane (the Clinical Officer) was very welcoming. – Megan Leary
- I enjoyed learning to give a shot, an ante-natal exam, watching surgeries, and getting involved in a completely impromptu tag game in the middle of town. One of the hardest moments was shadowing the internist from Lusaka while he told a young women with a husband and three children that she had AIDS. – Molly Graham
- My favorite experiences were learning how to perform a pelvic exam in a remote clinic and doing lab work with Andrew. To be given trust in a medical setting is so extremely rare in our case (and rightfully so) that when we are given an assignment to own, we strive very hard to do it well the first time. – David Matherly
- I think that the feeling of accomplishment, and knowing that we made a difference in the lives of the people we were helping was the overall high of the trip. Being able to help people that are seriously in need due to lack of services was an amazing experience. If I had to choose, I would say that the high of the trip was whilst assisting with the births.– Roy Podlisky
- On our last day, Jane invited us to witness the delivery of a baby. I put on a surgical gown, stood right next to the bed, and once the baby was born, Nurse Betty showed me how to clamp the umbilical chord and swaddle the baby. Once the placenta was delivered, I helped the mother redress. I’ve seen lots of deliveries in the states, but seeing a delivery in Sioma was completely different and definitely a highlight for me. – Jillian Dodge
- As far as a single highlight event, or aspect of the trip, the surgeons coming is certainly the best! We got to observe and assist in a multitude of surgeries. My most exciting moment is when a surgeon found an undiagnosed aneurysm on a patient’s femoral artery. The patient was having a completely different procedure on his leg. The surgeon showed me the aneurysm, then turned to me and said “When you are in the jungle, you must be prepared to meet a tiger.” He then proceeded to stitch the artery closed at the neck; explaining the procedure as he went along. The surgeries were great! – Jason Burmeister
- Shadowing the clinical officers was very helpful in explaining the evaluation and diagnosis process. – Dwindally Rosado Rivera
- Two highs definitely stick out for me, both personal and medically related. Medically, having the opportunity to witness a birth was utterly incredible for me. It was something I went there hoping to observe and actually being present made the entire trip so fulfilling for me. The church ceremony in which the whole town came up and introduced themselves was a personal highlight for me. The people of Sioma are so sweet and kind and being able to have everyone welcome us was not only a highlight of the trip but a highlight of my medical experience. – Amanda Cole
- One of the most difficult aspects of the clinic was seeing how disease has affected the young children. In particular, Malika, at only 6, was HIV positive and had TB. I have never worked with terminally ill children previous to this and there is definitely a different emotional aspect that accompanies the experience. I find it much easier to compose a somewhat emotional divide when dealing with adult patients, but I was surprised how much Malika effected me. That being said though, another personal high of the trip was once after a few days at the clinic Malika would see the truck coming and smile or even wave at us, and even showed excitement when we gave him his coloring cook and toy truck. Even something as small as a smile or wave was so rewarding. – Amanda Cole
- One of the most challenging parts of the trip was seeing the lack of needed supplies and resources. (Visiting surgeons) were using Ketamine as an anesthetic during surgery. The thermometers didn’t work and there was no blood pressure cuff. This is just the tip of the iceberg; there is a dire need for more supplies and professionals in the area. – Jason Burmeister
- Watching a baby being born was really was incredible. Building relationships with patients and staff and seeing how dedicated they are to their work was also really nice to see. However, seeing people suffer from what are common and entirely treatable medical conditions by American standards, and not being able to eliminate their pain and suffering was really difficult for me. – Michelle Russell
- Our group was very lucky to be there while outreach doctors were visiting from Lusaka. Working with them and observing their surgeries was amazing. Especially using Ketamine instead of general anesthetic!! During the removal of an ovarian mass, the gynecologist announced, “The patient is running away!” as she tried to climb off the table. Witnessing the rapid pace of outreach surgeries and the ingenuity of everyone on the team was thrilling and it was definitely an experience from which I have taken away a great deal. – Jillian Dodge
- The touristy stuff was, of course, wonderful: Victoria Falls is extraordinary and the safari was cool. But the highest point, for me was the funeral song sung by a procession of women as they passed the Sioma clinic. It was one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful scenes I’ve ever witnessed. The beauty of the harmonies, the general attitude of the singers (friendly and warm despite their solemnity). I can’t forget it. – Christopher Hernandez
- A favorite moment from the trip? Watching an abscess the size of a grapefruit being drained from a baby’s arm. – Oliver O’Connell


My goals vs. my system
I started to read atomic habits, a book introduces many details about habits. It did help me to reveal my blind spots. One of them is that I have always been “goal-oriented”. A downside of this is that goals are temporarily outcome. For example, winner and loser have the same goal. The difference is how their system works so they have a different progress, which determines win or lose at the end. I owe too much to all my supervisors because the goals I achieved were the output from their system. It’s surprising to realise how far I have made through my system.
Here comes the task, what are my goals, what are the problems in my current system, and what system I should build to reach a better level of outcomes in a long run?
1/ Goals are still useful because they can show a direction. Some goals always in my mind are:
[ scientific research / work ]
- projects: three by myself (one uses computational approach, like ML)
- teaching: topics slides, supervise students
- intern in research lab (e.g., MSR)
- post-doc position, in long term a researcher position in France (good money and good vacation, why not LOL)
[ life ]
- reading books, novels
- French, use French to understand people
- music, sport, movie, travel, …
2/ So now look at my current system, it’s basically just driven by deadlines. After a deadline I don’t want to do anything, so no learning, less prototyping. It lacks a clear structure and details so I can barely explore new stuff. Then I am occupying by other works (reviewing, teaching) and finally I create a random idea which becomes the next project for deadline cycle, which often times I am not completely happy after finishing the project. In terms of life, I am usually occupied by manga or series and missing out the books and movie I planned to go for. Apparently we need a better system.
3/ The new system in my mind now, of course it will need a lot of polishing plus trial and error.
[ breaking down one task into atomic step ]
-
Example 1: exploring new project (this type of activity has no clear deadline and need to do regularly). In fact this means, read new paper, prepare idea slides, write first page, simple implementation, and pitch to others. So we break them down, even deeper, and set time slot.
-
Example 2: preparing a demo (this type of activity has a clear deadline and many detail requirements). So here we need implementaion, polishing, internal test/presentation, environment setup, and mock-up running. Again, breaking them down and set time slot.
[ assigning time slot and execute ]
So how much time does a task need to take? I’d like to distinguish them by
-
one hour: this will be one basic unit of my system from now on. A task has to be obvious, clear, and doable in one hour, can be extend to two maybe.
-
> two hours: this is where a list of objectives needs to be done. For example, preparing a demo, I might not want to do one function each day, instead, I prefer a longer duration where I can revise and address as many task as possible. Again, a clear working list of atomic task is required.
This is so far I have in my mind and let’s do it.
