Data Providers¶
VeRoViz supports the use of several data providers for querying travel directions, travel time/distance matrices, and snapping nodes to a road network. Integration with additional data providers is planned for a future VeRoViz release.
Functions that employ data from these providers require specification of the dataProvider itself, as well as additional arguments that are unique to the chosen dataProvider (e.g., an APIkey or a databaseName). The routeType field can be used to differentiate between a ‘fastest’ route, a ‘shortest’ route, ‘pedestrian’ routes, etc.
The following table summarizes the options and requirements for each data provider currently supported by VeRoViz:

Additionally, starting in version 0.4.0, VeRoViz supports integration with OpenWeatherMap and Elevation-API. See the bottom of this page for more information on these two data providers.
None¶
No data provider is chosen. Nodes and arcs are generated without consideration of any underlying road networks. Only simple types of node distributions or route types can be applied without a data provider.
pgRouting (pgr)¶
pgRouting is an open-source database application that must be installed locally on the user’s computer. You will need to Install pgRouting before using related functions.
We recommend that users update their local pgRouting database frequently, as the source data (from OpenStreetMap) changes over time.
If you find odd results when using pgRouting, (e.g. unexpected values of “0”
from getTravelMatrice2D()
) or if nodes are not being snapped properly to road, please check if the data in the pgRouting database is sufficient
to cover the region of interest. VeRoViz can not calculate the coordinates outside
the boundary of pgRouting data.
See the pgRouting documentation for more details.
MapQuest (mq)¶
MapQuest is a commercial data source, but users may issue a limited number of requests for free. You will need to Apply for MapQuest API key before using related functions. MapQuest provides perhaps the most detailed results of the data providers. However, keep in mind that the free API key has a monthly limit on the number of queries.
See the MapQuest documentation for more details.
OSRM¶
The Open Source Routing Machine is available via both an online API (in which case no installation is required) or as a local installation. Currently, however, VeRoViz only supports the online API.
For the online API, no API key is required. Please note, though, that this API is hosted on a “demo” server, which is not intended for high-volume user requests. It is recommended that users use OSRM only for small-scale testing/evaluation; please don’t overload the OSRM demo server with large-scale problems. Be advised that excessive OSRM requests will often result in server timeouts.
The routes and travel matrix data provided by OSRM are based on OpenStreetMaps. OSRM’s results are typically less detailed than those provided by MapQuest.
See the OSRM documentation for more details.
ORS¶
OpenRouteService is currently the suggested data provider for VeRoViz. Like OSRM, it uses data from OpenStreetMaps. ORS offers a free API key with a generous daily query limit. ORS also provides an open-source engine that can be installed locally, which VeRoViz now supports (as of version 0.4.0, in May, 2020).
See the ORS documentation for more information.
OpenWeatherMap (OWM)¶
OWM provides current, forecast, and historical weather data, as well as map overlays for Leaflet. Support for OWM integration is available in VeRoViz version 0.4.0.
See the OWM documentation for more information.
Elevation-API¶
Elevation-API provides elevation data for practically any location on the globe. Elevations at 5km resolutions are available for free; higher-resolution data may be obtained for a nominal fee. Support for Elevation-API integration is available in VeRoViz version 0.4.0.
See the Elevation-API documentation for more information.

We did most of the heavy lifting for you to provide you with a workflow that involves little more than data-modelling. Additionally, we generate API documentation for your model, providing a smoother experience for developers.
By utilizing the metadata from your domain model to define API routes, fine-grained permissions and generate in-line documentation, we were able to create a framework that enables new team members to get up to speed quickly.
We have provided detailed documentation as well as specific code examples to help new users get started. We are also always open to feedback and can answer any questions a user may have about graphs.

Nothing here for Today!!!
1. Deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar to govt schemes extended to March 31, 2018: Centre to SC
Context:
- Aadhaar linking to avail benefits of government schemes.
Deadline extended:
- The deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar to avail benefits of government schemes has been postponed to March 31, 2018, the Centre informed the Supreme Court.
- Union government will take no coercive action against those who do not have Aadhaar and they will not be denied social welfare scheme benefits till March 31.
Key Fact:
- Aadhaar is a 12-digit biometric identity.
- Coverage: As many as 135 schemes (of 35 ministries) including the free cooking gas (LPG) to poor women, kerosene and fertilizer subsidy, targeted public distribution system (PDS) and MGNREGA will be covered by the extension.
Petitions pending before the Supreme Court:
- Challenges the constitutional validity of the decision to make linking of mobile numbers and bank accounts with Aadhaar a must.
Contention raised:
- The issue of mandatory linking of Aadhaar with bank accounts and mobile number is illegal.
- Non-linking of Aadhaar with bank account would make citizens liable for prosecution under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
- Supreme Court is still hearing a petition to make the unique ID mandatory for availing of government benefits.
Highlights of a report by The World Bank: “Learning to Realize Education’s Promise”
- Main theme: focus on education
- Important highlights:
First: The report makes a moral case for education
- It does it with a rights-based approach
- And sub-sections titled ‘Education as freedom’; ‘Education improves individual freedoms’; ‘Education benefits all of society’
Second: Early childhood development
- One of the most important sections is not about education but about early childhood development
- The report discusses the far-reaching impact of poverty and chronic malnutrition on the physical and mental development of children
- The effects of stunting in the early years on physical, cognitive and socio-emotional development prevent children from learning well in later years
- The report points out that in low-income countries, stunting rates among children under-five are almost three times higher than in the richest
- Reduction of child stunting should be one of the major moral imperatives before nations today
Third: Role of technology
- It is good to see that technology is not regarded as a panacea in itself
- But as something that has the potential to enhance learning and that the teacher-learner relationship is at the centre of learning
Fourth: issue of public vs private schools
- The report acknowledges firmly that on the issue of public vs private schools, the results are still mixed
- There is no consistent evidence that private schools deliver better learning outcomes than public schools, or the opposite
Fifth: Shortage of teachers
- While school enrolments have increased significantly, massive teacher shortages persist
Sixth: Other related issues behind learning crisis
Beyond reading and arithmetic, any meaningful assessment of learning should also consider aspects such as comprehension, problem solving, critical thinking, and innovation
Beyond merely increasing assessment it is equally important to fund
(1) The sector better;
(2) improve teacher training;
(3) support the continuing professional development of teachers;
(4) And help teachers to help the poorest children to learn
The way forward
One would have liked to see greater focus on the continuing problems of access and equity, which are still the biggest problems in education.If there is one aspect of education which needs to be quantified and measured in order to make our education systems function better for all children, it is equity
Category: INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS/BILATERAL RELATIONS
1. U.S. makes H-1B visa renewals tougher
Context:
- Fresh changes in rules notified by the S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for renewal of non-immigrant visas will severely impact H-1B visa holders.
- Increasing restrictions on H-1B visa programme remains a point of concern in the India-US relations, as a majority of these guest workers are Indians.
New rules notified:
- “The updated guidance instructs officers to apply the same level of scrutiny when reviewing nonimmigrant visa extension requests even where the petitioner, beneficiary and underlying facts are unchanged from a previously approved petition. While adjudicators may ultimately reach the same conclusion as in a prior decision, they are not compelled to do so as a default starting point as the burden of proof to establish eligibility for an immigration benefit always lies with the petitioner,”.
Key Points:
- Updated guidance provides clear direction to help advance policies that protect the interests of U.S. workers.
- The new rules are in line with the Donald Trump administration’s Buy American, Hire American policy .
Three types of status updates issued by USCIS:
-
An H-1B worker goes to the USCIS for three types of changes to his status – amendment, transfer and
renewal.
- Amendments are sought when an H-1B employee changes the location within the same company;
- transfer is sought when he moves from one company to another, and
- A renewal is sought at the expiry of the visa, which is usually issued for three years at the beginning.
- Adjudicators must thoroughly review the petition and supporting evidence to determine eligibility for the benefit sought
- The previous policy — which has been in force for 13 years — instructed officers to give deference to the findings of a previously approved petition, as long as the key elements were unchanged and there was no evidence of a material error or fraud related to the prior determination.
1. BharatMala will put more freight on roads
Positive impacts of the newly launched BharatMala initiative:
- The road construction programme, BharatMala, will connect 550 districts to national highways against 300 districts at present.
- Around 50 economic corridors to be constructed against the existing six.
- 70-80% total freight will move on national highways against 40% freight at present.
- BharatMala is a biggest infrastructure programme that will give priority to tribal and backward areas and border regions.
2. Capital infusion to be credit positive for public sector banks, says Moody’s
Moody’s remark on government’s decision to recapitalize Public Sector Banks:
- The Centre’s decision to infuse ₹11 lakh crore into public sector banks will be credit positive and the amount is large enough to comprehensively address their weak capital profile.
Key Fact:
- For the 11 rated public sector banks by Moody’s, the rating agency estimates that their external capital requirements over the next two years would be about ₹70,000 crore to ₹95,000 crore.
- This estimate factors in the capital requirements for compliance with Basel-III norms and for conservative recognition and provisioning of their asset quality problems.
3. Centre to aid offshore e-commerce play
In news:
Indian e-commerce sector expansion:
- The Union government is working on a new policy to expand the footprint of the Indian e-commerce sector to tap potential markets outside the country, including Africa and Southeast Asia .
- This is part of efforts to achieve the target of making India a trillion-dollar digital economy in the next seven years.
- Currently, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is looking at tapping markets such as Southeast Asia, West Asia, SAARC countries such as Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, the Maldives, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and BRICS partners (Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa).
- Key Fact: The e-commerce economy is currently pegged at $30 billion, and the government expects it to grow at $150 billion by 2024-25.
New plans on the anvil:
- The government is also working on a strategy to make India a hub for data analytics, cloud computing and financial technology, besides encouraging development of Internet of Things, to push the digital economy.
- Data Protection Act: the Data Protection Act, the draft of which is likely to be ready by December 2017, will provide a policy framework on digital economy, including social media.

1. Come 2019, the kilogram will get a new measure
Key Points:
- Reference used at present: For 125 years, a salt-shaker-sized cylinder housed at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM), Paris and weighing exactly a kilogram served as the definition of the measure. The cylinder is made of 90% platinum and 10% iridium
- However, an international conference of heads of metrology institutes decided, on October 19 in Sevres, France, that the kilogram will no longer be pegged to this cylinder.
No more artefacts
- In essence, the units were freed from being defined on the basis of artefacts, as these being objects, were subject to wear and tear and sources of eventual error.
- The new artefacts, according to the International Committee for Weights and Measures, ought to derive from the constants of nature that are all interdependent.
- These include constants such as the Planck constant — the ratio of the electromagnetic radiation from a photon to its frequency — and the charge of an electron.
- Until this month, the kilogram was the only one among the units still pegged to a real object and now — after a formal vote in 2018 — the world is set to redefine the kilogram in terms of the Planck constant, the second and the metre.

1. ‘Fish-lizard’ fossil from Kutch is a Jurassic first
New Discovery:
- A near-complete Jurassic-era fossil of an intriguing animal that looks like a mashup of a dolphin and lizard, and lived during the twilight of the dinosaurs, has been unearthed in Kutch, Gujarat .
- Ichthyosaurs, or ‘fish- lizards’ in Greek, were large reptiles that lived at the same time as dinosaurs.
- Key Fact:
- While many ichthyosaur fossils have been found in North America and Europe , the fossil record in the Southern Hemisphere has mostly been limited to South America and Australia .
- It is the first Jurassic ichthyosaur found in India.
- Discovery throws light on the evolution and diversity of ichthyosaurs in the Indo-Madagascan region of the former Gondwanaland and India’s biological connectivity with other continents in the Jurassic.
1. Best defence technology offered
In news:
- S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that his country would provide India the best technologies for its military modernisation , which include offers to supply F-16 and F-18 fighter jets .
- Statement issued by Mr. Tillerson: “The U.S. supports India’s emergence as a leading power and will continue to contribute to the Indian capability to provide security throughout the region,”.

Interview with Dora teacher
[standard introduction]
- TODO: get a curriculum
I am completely confused about exactly what we are doing. I know that you all are designing some type of platform ...
- teacher: confused!
How do you teach?
I think of it as linking the language and content. It is disturbing to me that QFI started a science project without talking to us. If real language learning is going to take place, you have to be .... investigating the cracks, places where there could be connections .. but their aren't. ... Good language learning means when you are able to connect language and content. ... You could be studying content but also studying language at the same time. Science, physics, archaeology. Normally we teach language as a language arts exercise, and anything else is an add on. ... If there is any value in technology, it is brining those threads together.
How much do you use technology?
I am technologically illiterate.
- teacher:skill=nontechnical
Some of the things [people have been showing] -- I have not seen tech like that -- we do it manually. I have not seen -- and this is where I see you all -- it seems to me that there is some stuff going on, maybe not with language but with some other fields. I get the feeling that we are trying to connect some things. Language of special purposes, the language of science, the language of business .... That kind of thing -- they do bring things together. My experience with technology has been pretty low. I belong to a generation that grew up without a lot of it -- my orientation is not technical at all. That doesn't mean that I am against it, but I don't use it myself.
- context: cross-disciplinary
- language: style=business|science|specialized
- TODO: experience with elearning? CGB
There are two areas that seem to be done -- this add-one stuff. The kids go to sites, they collect cultural information, they collect corpora, they put together pieces of stuff, for some kind of project, or more language learning, that .... also includes connection with kids, for example, the Qatari kids and kids here would have some way that they could have conversations -- sometimes it is only done in one language. Usually the kids here speak Arabic and there speak English -- they swap.
- location: Qatar
- technique: collecting cultural information
- technique: distance conversations
- technique: swap languages
They post them and the teacher grades them. Those are the two main ways that I have seen language learning. And then of course there is the talking heads stuff -- showing the movie, all of the standard stuff. It should be be part of the curriculum. In the old days it used to be reel to reel movies. You're too young to remember those.
- technique: movie
- technique: talking heads stuff
- technique: standard stuff
- context: history and the "Way it Was Done"
- technique: reel to reel
A teacher picks things, a discreet item, and shows them. The advantage of technology is that it gives you versatility. But I don't know how one gets creative.
- teacher: attitude="technology gives versatility"
- creativity
- TODO: folloup on examples of creativity in classroom
Have you ever seen it fail?
Usually that has to do with the unimaginative part of teachers. The teacher didn't have a clear idea of how to use the tool, they weren't very creative. One of the things that we have been honing away with the teacher -- you really need to know what the assessment is going to look like.
- context: impending assessment
- requirement: preparation
- role: assessor
- teacher: creativity=low
What is it that you really want to know? You start at the end and work your way up to the front. You know what you are working towards. When most learning happens, you start in one place and you keep winding your way to the next stop -- a lot of the technological stuff I have seen has been like that. THe more intelligent ones let you bump up to the next one and then if you need to you can go back. But good teaching includes the idea that you know where you want this student to end up. Technology, or flying them to Doha, is all part of that same package. It seems to me that if there is a way whereby teachers can be given the tool with which they can design the work... So ... the teacher has more investment in their curriculum with the tool.
What are the different models of language education, from your perspective
After School model -- irregular. IB model -- more intensive, students must meet rigorous standards. Boston model -- a regular foreign language classroom designed by the teacher herself, and in effect has a component of student who is a particular kind of student. So you have a particular cohort of students who are different. They are not the normal high school kid. Intensive After School -- meets 4 times a week (Adly in Hawaii)
- education:model= afterschool| IB | Boston | Intensive after school
The four models -- how would these teachers. How do they maneuver in a way with stuff that they can put up on a site that would make sense to them and others, how would they create things on those sites without making fools of themselves -- [with] a modicum of privacy, but it is still there so the evaluator can have a conversation, or if they want to share with teachers, they can do that.
- privacy
Looking bad -- [teachers are] from the beginning, because we don't have very many textbooks or resources for Arabic k - 12, one of the things we kept trying to do is to post their lessons on the Arabic K-12 website. They would not. .... They did not want to put themselves in a position to be criticized. They were willing to, with 2 or 3 of the teachers together.
[This suggests that teachers working in groups may be the best way for the teachers to develop curriculum and work with tools. -CGB]
How do you do that? The next question becomes -- most of these teachers are really very busy -- I have yet to see anybody who is [doing it] ... How do you do this so this doesn't take hours and hours? The young woman here at Boston latin, her fulltime job is a sign language instructor. She has these two classes on Friday, which she has to prepare for, and then in addition to that she has to create a curriculum -- she has no textbook -- so all of her things are new. I don't know if you have ever created a curriculum, but it is a pain in the butt and it takes a long time to do.
- time
- quote
So she creates a set of discrete lessons. If you had a really good platform, could she take a look at the end and say gee, what is it I have done here, am I going in the direction I want to go. So she is now working full time, and adding on teaching, so she's going a little ... nutsy.
- quote
I would probably go for the simplest possible platforms that you could possibly come up with. To the point that you think, "do I need to go back to kindergarten?"
- Your purpose -- to be be able to get these teachers to use the platform. You need to talk us into getting the teachers to do it. So it is not something that they have to do -- they need to say "I need to use X because it is going to make my life simpler." I would create a way they could actually talk to one another without having this information to be obvious to all the rest of the world.
[Wait, we already have this, a list, what is missing? Is it just curatorial energy, eg, a facilitator -- are they really waiting for someone to take the reigns and drive a new group dynamic? Or will they need more, in the form of a tool? Or would they prefer some other ways to build a relationship? When will they be getting together next, and what can we do now to make that a better experience for the group? CGB]
Privacy -- Whatever these teachers are talking to with other about is not necessarily something QFI will log into on regular basis. So QFI will only see what they allow them to see. They can mess things up and not feel like someone is looking at them -- A very safe space.
Articulation -- We want to take these different models and take them to the rest of the world -- it is possible to have these models and learn the language at the same time.
I think that they tools where it becomes an integral part of the classroom -- it is something that is a learned process -- but I think that is not where you're gonna have to start. Even with these savvy kids -- most of the kids are really savvy and they are technologicaly adept, it's not strange to them, they gotta know why they are going to use it and what it is going to do for them.
I think if I were doing the afterschool programs, I would want to use it some degree for particular purposes. It would be the idea of the drop box, it would be the kid who has soccer and can't turn it in at class. But if I were the teacher at the IB program, I would put in a set of activities that would allow me to figure out -- a way to communicate with my students on a regular basis, so when I came to class I would know what they are thinking.
- mode: afterschool
- customization
[This suggests that there are a great diversity of applications for the technology -- indicates that we need to keep the tool very activity centric. There may be a dozen implementation scenarios already, which one are we designing for? CGB]
One possible way -- again this is me -- I would assign a daily exercise, and if they can't perform they can let me know why not -- give them a chance to complain, or say, wait a minute, i found a better way to do this, here it is.
- technique: timing=daily
If I assign something and 2/3s of the class can't do it, that tells me that something I taught today didn't make it, and we are going to have to go back. They can silently tell you something.
- feedback: unwitting
Pair work. It doesn't embarass the student. They are not necessarily performing.
- technique: pairing
The biggest way to get students to talk -- this is enormously successful -- is to set them up with projects. Investigating which Pharoh liked to eat figs. Or, looking at how kids speak to their elders in different Arab countries.
- technique: projects
Audrey, she struck me as we were doing teacher training -- she does a lot of competitive stuff, and it sounds to me like the kids love it. She sets it up so that the kids are racing ... All of these teachers, all of them have interesting ways.
- technique:competition
Other things to mention?
We have over and over and over again run up against a blank wall -- the teachers get excited and we're going to do this and this! And then it doesn't happen.
- make sure it is a safe place.
- make sure that the informatino collected can be used to develop the model.
What do you think about Epsilen?
I have not used it before and I have not used it yet.
contact information
I am now technically retired. My schedule is somewhat flexible. There are some days when I do go into my office. WHEN TO CALL: schedule via email.


The overall goal was to re-skin the entire west face, giving the outdated Edina High School campus a new, modern look. Beyond the new facade was art and music spaces, a new workout facility, a 700 seat auditorium, two new lobby spaces and a central cafeteria space. The addition was to maximize natural light and connect the students and faculty with the outdoor space.
We started the project by conducting a series of interviews with the high school staff and teachers, as well as field observations and a competitive analysis of other high schools in the area. We sat in on some classes, observed students mingling during passing time, saw how students used the building both before and after school. Every two weeks we’d have client meetings which involved a series of new diagrams, drawings and models. We were continuously ideating on our past designs in order to meet the client's expectation and goals. Even up until the end of the project, we were still building models to communicate with contractors as well as the client.
The overall concept of the project was simple: copper and glass where there was entry or public spaces, white metal panel on the theater, brick and glass everywhere else. Try and control the light in the classrooms while maximizing light in the public spaces - creating an inviting and comfortable space to be in. The brick pattern and size was what they used on the original building so the addition seamlessly blends in.


Exercise 4.
Recent data has estimated the worldwide percentage of Spam emails as 28.5% [7.10.127]. A new software company states that their product can detect 98% of emails as spam. Sometimes (2%) of the time, the filter incorrectly labels non-spam emails as spam (false positive). With these percentages in mind, what is the true probability that an email, if labeled spam, is actually a non-spam email? (Hint: there are many ways you can approach this, but it may make sense to use A to model an event that an email is labeled spam, and B to represent that the email actually is spam.)

I have tried several psychoactive drugs and had several vivid trips but by far this trip was the most intense and the most hallucinogenic experience of my life.
6:30 pm: Me and my fellow tripster take around 5 g apiece of psilocybin mushrooms, which we later found out were laboratory cultivated. Within 10 minutes of consumption I noticed a considerable effect from the shrooms. Objects in my room started meshing together. It seemed as everything in the room was connected by some unknown dimension. The ceiling and the walls turned into water and it's as if I could walk right through them in to some unknown world. Wow. 10 minutes into the trip I knew this was going to be intense.
7:00 pm: By this time I am already peaking hard. The hallucinations become quite realistic. My room is a myriad of bright shapes and colors. Green slime exudes from the cracks between doors, windows, and floors. Images on the TV begin coming out of the screen and taking form in my room. The noise of the heater in my room transforms and becomes the horrid sound of a psychedelic beast. At this point I begin to panic. It turned the lights off, crawled into my bed in the fetal position, and put the covers over my head. The dark room became a jungle of crickets chirping, crazy animals and beasts making god-awful sounds, and swirls of colors. I envisioned vines and such coming out of the floor and walls and taking over my room.
 An uncontrollable force seemed to be suffocating me. My whole body was sweaty and shaken. My muscles, especially those in my stomach, felt like they were internally twisting and bending. Two of my friends came in to comfort me. Their faces and bodies where extremely distorted. With the light in my room now on, I could see twinkling stars and holographic celestial bodies on my ceiling. I look out the window and nothing looks familiar. Building ten stories high seem thousands of feet tall. Trees grabbed out at me with ten-thousand arms. Cars in the adjacent parking lot began developing human-like qualities. Headlights turned into lurking eyes and they began talking to me. This freaked me out.
7:30-8:30: By this time, I am going insane. Time seems to temporarily freeze. Seconds turn into hours and minutes turn into eternity. It seemed as though I was Father Time, with the ability to control how fast or slow things occurred. The trails of moving objects where incredible and quite colorful. I constantly look into the mirror to verify that I am still alive. I keep thinking my face was deteriorating into nothingness. My vision was extremely improved. When I looked at something, it was as if my eyes had become a panoramic eyepiece.
Walking to the bathroom from my room was a journey in itself. The walls seemed to have more than three dimensions. The bathroom echoed with laughs and jeers but nobody was there but I. As I stood there staring at the toilet trying my damnedest to throw up, the toilet began muttering things to me. I remember it saying things like 'Why Chris Why?' and 'What have you done!'. Everything in the bathroom seemed to be suspended in space. The noise of the fans in the bathroom intensifies and echoes in my head. The walls looked as if they were made of jelly. The tiled floor began lighting up like lighted tiles on a disco floor.
I felt like I was dying and being born at the same time. I went to a friends room and watched TV. Everything was distorted terribly. Spinning shapes and colors filled the room. Attempting to watch TV helped none at this point. Looking outside the window from his room buildings morphed into temples and the night sky was bright. I returned to my room and laid on the bed for a couple more minutes before getting the nerve up to go smoke a couple bowls.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated or tripping is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
8:30-9:30: The car ride was an incredible experience. It was like a roller coaster ride that had gotten out of control. Passing objects were mere blurs and strange colors. Streetlights sparkled with an eerie shine. Tree branches still reached out for me, but by now I had gotten use to this occurrence. Car exhaust from neighboring cars on the road turned into this huge cloud that seemed to envelope the car I was riding in.
After smoking, I noticed that the visuals and hallucinations intensified for about thirty minutes, then slowly started to go away. Reality was slowly returning as the visuals seemed to fade away. Thank you God. Thank you God. Thatís all I could think to myself at this point. I seriously thought that I was going insane and that a mental hospital would be my permanent residence. I am not sure if I will ever have another psychoactive experience that is as intense and hallucinogenic as the one I just described. I do know, however, that this will be the experience that all other experiences will be judged by. Damn them were some good shrooms!

My Dog Skip Reviewed by Christian Pyle Directed by Jay Russell Written by Gail Gilchriest (based on the book by Willie Morris) Starring Frankie Muniz, Diane Lane, Luke Wilson, and Kevin Bacon Grade: C+
"My Dog Skip" is based on the autobiographical tribute of journalist Willie Morris to his boyhood pet. Harry Connick Jr. proves the narrative voice of the elder Morris looking back nostalgically to a time when he lost his innocence in Yazoo, Mississippi, during World War II. Frankie Muniz, the star of TV's "Malcolm in the Middle," plays the nine-year-old Willie, a shy, small ch ld who is ostracized by his peers. His only friend is his teenage neighbor Dink Jenkins (Luke Wilson), a high school sports star who's just joined the service and is about to go overseas. Realizing that Willie will be lonely without Dink, Ellen Morris (Diane Lane) buys Willie a dog for his birthday against the wishes of her husband Jack (Kevin Bacon).  Willie loves his Jack Russell terrier Skip (Enzo and Moose of TV's "Frasier") from the start, and Skip soon makes substantial improvements in Willie's life.
The bullies who torment him become his posse, and the prettiest girl in chool, Rivers Applewhite (Caitlin Wachs), starts to think he's hot stuff. There's a strong "Tom Sawyer" motif in this story. (Oddly, though, the director keeps showing us the cover of "Huckleberry Finn.") Like Tom, Willie is well-versed in tales of adventure and leads his friends into mock exploits.  There are even some scary bootleggers who stand in for Injun Joe.
The Yazoo of "My Dog Skip" is misted over with the nostalgia common in memoirs of childhood created after many decades. (Witness, for example, Franco Zeffirelli's recreation of his youth in fascist Italy in "Tea with Musso ini.") This Yazoo is more realistic than Mayberry because it allows for the re lities of segregation and war, but it still rings false. Even worse, the sappy "Wonder Years"-style voiceover commentary robs crucial scenes of their sweetness by droning on and on about the significance of the events.
The saving grace of "Skip" are the performances of Frankie Muniz and Kevin Bacon. Muniz does a fine job approximating the accent and mannerisms of a boy in a small Southern town in the 1940's. Bacon gives the best performance of his career. When the Connick voiceover introduces Jack Morris, one expects him to be mean and abusive. However, Jack turns out to be a loving father, and Bacon reveals how the outward bitterness shields his sensitivity. He also manages well with the awkward gait of a one-legged character. Expect an Oscar nomination for Bacon.
Bottom Line: Strong performances keep "Skip" from drowning in its cloying nostalgia.

Part I, Part II (That’s this article), Part III, Part IV.
In the first part I wrote about the Enterprise Open Source Manifesto that was written up for Home Depot’s open source efforts. In this part I’m going to tactical some of tooling & cultural characteristics that came into play.
Enterprise Open Source Tooling
Every team had a number of tools in use upon the beginning of these efforts. I’m going to dive into a few of the tools we used and how those helped and hurt us all at the same time. After that Iv’e got a discussion on future tool choices, current tool migrations, and goals.
Existing Pre-OSS Efforts
- JIRA
- Confluence
- Stash
JIRA, Stash, and Confluence
JIRA has a lot of pluses and negatives, and I do mean a lot! I’m going to start with the pain points and then move onto the positives.
Access - One of the major pain points was that JIRA had harbored a completely closed communication practice. What I mean by this was that all communications, as one would assume, were being done in a very insular way. Since the tool had traditionally been used only for closed source development, it was by it’s very nature configured to be exclusionary to any and all possible open source efforts.
User Limits - The way JIRA is configured, one doesn’t merely get added or become a contributor in any general sense. One needs to fall under a particular user paradigm like Active Directory, controlled auth SSO style accounts, or something of that sort. This leaves JIRA very limited for public access and contributions from an organizational perspective.
JIRA is extremely heavy and many open source efforts are super lean. I realize for a project with a lot of pull requests and interactions there needs some way to oganize all the interactions, but for small projects or even reasonably sized projects JIRA is overkill.
Another issue is that JIRA becomes a practice that dictates effort versus effort and results that dictate practice. This in turn makes it even more difficult to break certain practices and dogma to move toward lighter weight practices. More seamless open source projects and the practices that would and can move an open source project forward are disregarded because X, Y, and Z activities must be performed because of the “JIRA”.
Confluence is actually a great wiki tool. Albeit again, it’s a matter of overkill. Often the wiki that is needed is just a simple tool that can provide absolutely minimalistic wiki features. Maybe markdown is the standard mechanism to markup wiki pages with even. Whatever the case it needs to be simple.
However, again just like with JIRA, these tools work great for dramatically larger and more complex projects. They can and do provide a great ability to cohesively bring together larger teams of people to work together in a more effective manner.
Stash is useful in some ways, but again just like with JIRA, Confluence and related tooling it tends to be used to provide a way to hide away the source code internally. This in turn, just as with JIRA and Confluence work toward hiding software and not toward bringing it forward in an open and transparent way for others to work with.
New Tools for Enterprise OSS Efforts
Github
So Github comes to the rescue. For the most part there is a simple reason that it is the defacto go-to place for open source. It’s in the open, millions already use it, their git intergration is good, they have pretty straight forward minimalist focused interfaces and features, and it gets the job done.
Does Github miss key features for some? Absolutely. Do issues get cumbersome and out of control after moderate conversation.  Even with whatever disadvantages it has, Github was the go-to for us when we wanted to open source software too. It provided many of the key features we need; wiki, issues, and simple ways to track for simple projects.
Now, with all the negatives pointed out, one could actually use JIRA, Stash, and Confluence for open source work. You just need to open up all of the software to the public. They’ve be perfectly capable from a technical point of view to accomplish the mission, albeit it’d probably cost a ton of cash.
Jell
Need a quick tool for managing the daily punch list, or more simply, what I generally call the My GSD for Today items? Jell is a great tool for this. Others that come to mind are Trello or even just plain old Google Docs (I guess that’s G-suite now). Whatever the case, it helps members to have a punch list if it’s a day-to-day, regularly worked on project. This helps with that communication across any contributors, even if contributors are all in a single office.
Part I, Part II (That’s this article), Part III, Part IV.
That’s it for part II. More to come for this series real soon, and I’ll update the post with a link right here to Part III as soon as it’s published.


We are high school students taking part in the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program. Our goal for this page is to not only raise awareness of the silenced topic of sexual assaults on college campuses and otherwise, but also create a safe network in which survivors can share their experiences and participate in discussions relating to sexual assault, in addition to having access to resources of help and support. Our website is completely anonymous to increase safety by preserving the identity of every user. In the future, we hope to expand this website to include a system where every college has stories, forums, and people of suspicion specific to that college.
I'm a rising junior attending high school in San Francisco. With a passion for computer science, I hope to make a difference in someone's life
someday through the power of coding. In my free time, I enjoy walks along the beach and hikes through parks.
I am finally an upcoming senior at San Leandro High School. I enjoy being in the Social Justice Academy at my school, shopping, and helping others in any way I can. Being a part of Girls Who Code has not only taught me so much about coding but also how I can make a big difference in the future.
I'm a rising senior and an aspiring dermatologist. Through the Girls Who Code program, I have found my love for coding as well. During my free
time, I love to dance, golf, and fence.
I am an upcoming junior at Pinole Valley High. I enjoy photography, parties, and adventures. Being in GirlsWhoCode has given me an even bigger hunger
to just go out and pursue my goals of making my own company.

--- title: Synchronize and diff keywords: fastai sidebar: home_sidebar summary: "The functions that propagates small changes in the library back to notebooks" description: "The functions that propagates small changes in the library back to notebooks" nb_path: "nbs/01_sync_scala.ipynb" ---
The library is primarily developed in notebooks so any big changes should be made there. But sometimes, it's easier to fix small bugs or typos in the modules directly. nbdev_update_lib
is the function that will propagate those changes back to the corresponding notebooks. Note that you can't create new cells with that functionality, so your corrections should remain limited.
We need to get the name of the object we are looking for, and then we'll try to find it in our index file.
from nbdev.export import DocsTestClass
test_eq(get_name(in_ipython), 'in_ipython')
test_eq(get_name(DocsTestClass.test), 'test')
test_eq(qual_name(DocsTestClass.test), 'DocsTestClass.test')
You can either pass an object or its name (by default is_name
will look if func
is a string or not to determine if it should be True
or False
, but you can override if there is some inconsistent behavior).
If passed a method of a class, the function will return the notebook in which the largest part of the function name was defined in case there is a monkey-matching that defines class.method
in a different notebook than class
. If return_all=True
, the function will return a tuple with the name by which the function was found and the notebook.
For properties defined using property
or our own add_props
helper, we approximate the name by looking at their getter functions, since we don't seem to have access to the property name itself. If everything fails (a getter cannot be found), we return the name of the object that contains the property. This suffices for source_nb
to work.
test_eq(source_nb("test.Add"), 'test.ipynb')
test_eq(source_nb("Add"), 'ToImport.ipynb')
test_eq(source_nb("Operator"), 'test.ipynb')
test_eq(source_nb("MulDiv"), 'test.ipynb')
assert source_nb(int) is None
If someone decides to change a module instead of the notebooks, the following functions help update the notebooks accordingly.
If fname
is not specified, this will convert all modules and submodules in the lib_folder
defined in setting.ini
. Otherwise fname
can be a single filename or a glob expression.
silent
makes the command not print any statement.
Before making a commit, you may want to check there is no diff between the exported library and the notebooks. You may also want to make this part of your CI, so that you don't accidentally merge a PR that introduces some changes between the two. This function is there to print this diff.
If you receive an output, you'll need to either run notebook2script()
or nbdev_update_lib()
to fix the difference.
nbdev_diff_nbs()
nbdev_trust_nbs()


Malaysia end-Oct palm oil stocks fall as output dips, exports jump
by ReutersKUALA LUMPUR (Nov 11): Palm oil inventories in Malaysia, the world's second-largest producer of the edible oil, resumed their downward path in October as output fell and the pace of exports quickened, pushing palm prices to a 22-month high.
October inventories dipped 4.1% to 2.3 million tonnes, their second lowest level this year after August's 2.25 million tonnes, according to data on Monday from the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB).
The fall in stocks buoyed benchmark palm oil prices, which were up RM33, or 1.3%, at RM2,606 (US$629.77) per tonne at the end of Monday's morning session. The benchmark price hit RM2,615 a tonne earlier in the day, its highest since January 2018.
Exports grew 16.4% to 1.6 million tonnes, rebounding from an 18.8% contraction in September.
"There's been a great deal of exports that moved into China, which has been seeing lower soyoil production so palm is the natural substitute," said a Kuala Lumpur-based trader. "They're also buying ahead of Chinese New Year."
Malaysia's output dipped to 1.80 million tonnes in October, missing analyst forecasts and down about 8% from a year earlier. The fall was tied to persistent dry weather and recent haze, which cut productivity, said Anilkumar Bagani, research head of Sunvin Group, a Mumbai-based vegetable oil broker.
"The data is positive for palm oil prices as the production and stocks are down and Nov 1-10 palm oil export shows promising numbers."
The MPOB in September revised Malaysia's 2019 annual output slightly lower to 20 million tonnes from its initial forecast of 20.3 million tonnes, and said it expected inventories to fall to 2 million tonnes by December.
A Reuters survey had forecast palm oil stockpiles at the end of October to rise 2.8% to a seven-month high of 2.52 million tonnes. Production was seen gaining 2% to 1.88 million tonnes, and exports were seen up 13.1%, at 1.59 million tonnes.
The following is a breakdown of the Malaysian Palm Oil Board figures and Reuters estimates for October (volumes in tonnes):\
| Oct 2019 | Oct 2019 poll | Sept 2019 | Oct 2018 | |
| Output | 1,795,880 | 1,879,282 | 1,842,433 | 1,964,954 |
| Stocks | 2,348,066 | 2,516,000 | 2,448,272 | 2,722,391 |
| Exports | 1,641,743 | 1,594,000 | 1,409,945 | 1,571,169 |
| Imports | 85,034 | 52,000 | 71,112 | 117,269 |

Pattern Matchers have been designed for various sorts of patterns. Mr. HKP likes to observe patterns in numbers. After completing his extensive research on the squares of numbers, he has moved on to cubes. Now he wants to know all numbers whose cube ends in 888.
Given a number k, help Mr. HKP find the kth number (indexed from 1) whose cube ends in 888.
The first line of the input contains an integer t, the number of test cases. t test cases follow.
Each test case consists of a single line containing a single integer k (1 <= k <=<PHONE_NUMBER>000).
For each test case, output a single integer which denotes the kth number whose cube ends in 888. The result will be less than 263.
Input: 1 1 Output: 192


DSP Pipeline
In Ham Cockpit, the plugins that process I/Q and audio data in real time are organized in a DSP Pipeline. This article describes the architecture of DSP Pipeline and is intended for the plugin developers. Please see the article in User's Guide that explains DSP Pipeline from the user's perspective.
Data Flow
DSP Pipeline consists of a data input plugin, several data processing
plugins, and a data output plugin. Operation of the pipeline
is based on the data-pull model. The output plugin, typically
Audio Output to Soundcard,
calls the
Read(Single[], Int32, Int32)
method of the last processing plugin when it needs more data, e.g,
when the soundcard requests another block of samples for playback.
All processing plugins, connected in a chain, call the Read
method of the preceding plugin, process received data, and return it
to the caller. The data input plugin, when its Read
method is called,
returns the data received from the radio.
Data Format
The data are passed between the plugins as an array of float
values,
but the actual data format, described by the
Format property, varies from plugin to plugin. The signal
processing plugins receive and return I/Q data, while audio processing
plugins have real-valued audio data at input and output. The
demodulator plugins receive I/Q data and return the audio.
IDspPipeline Interface
The data processed in the DSP Pipeline are available outside of the pipeline via the IDspPipeline interface exposed by the plugin host object. The S-Meter plugin, published with source code, is one of the plugins that make use of these data.
The
IDspPipeline
interface
exposes the properties
InputSignal
, ProcessedSignal
, DemodulatedAudio
and
ProcessedAudio
of type
ISampleStreamTap
that allow the client
plugins to tap the pipeline at different points.
The data are delivered via the data-push model: to receive the data,
the plugins subscribe to the
SamplesAvailable
event exposed by the pipeline taps.
In addition to the data taps, the DspPipeline
exposes the
ModeSwitch
, Transmitter
and Tuner
properties that allow reading
and changing the transmitter and receiver settings. See the
Frequency Display plugin, also available with
source code, for an example that reads and displays these settings.


Footballer Banned For Falsifying Age!
by Soccer LadumaA Congolese footballer has been banned for falsifying his age, according to reports from his country.
It has been confirmed that TP Mazembe forward Meschack Elia has been handed a 12-month ban from the DR Congo Football Federation for age fraud, after he allegedly falsified his age by changing his year of birth from 1996 to 1997.

“Very heavy penalty for Meschack Elia! The Congolese player has been banned for one year from all the sports facilities of the national teams of DR Congo, CAF and FIFA. The Congolese Football Federation hit hard after grabbing the file of the player who wanted to have asylum in Switzerland while trying to use a tampered passport, while he was announced doing tests with Anderlecht. Recalling the facts, the TP Mazembe had reported the disappearance of his player, via a statement published on its official website last August,” website orangefootballclub.com reports.
According to reports, Elia has been attempting to join BSC Young Boys in Switzerland when he got himself in trouble.
Elia played for DR Congo during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt earlier this year.

For the past two decades I have dedicated myself to the restaurant and bar industry, working my way up from a short order cook in a counter service hole in the wall to Beverage Director of an iconic fine dining restaurant. Attention to detail, pursuit of best practice, and an attitude of "figure it out and make it happen" have been central to my success. I am a prize winning cocktail bartender, certified sommelier, and craft beer geek, dedicated to providing a completely satisfying dining experience. In recent years I have been drawn moreto the back office work in restaurants, and have developed spreadsheet tools to assist in inventory, ordering, and costing. I've enjoyed it so much I've started turning my attention to web applications and full stack development.
So far my studies in web development have gotten me familiar with HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I am excited to add more capabilites with frameworks like Bootstrap as well as libraries such as jQuery and React. I'm particularly interested in responsive design elements, data structures, and machine learning. Over time this site will shift focus from my previous career as I continue to explore the exciting world of web development. Please enjoy the cocktail pictures I currently have up, and feel free to contact me with any questions
cheers,

Given an array nums
of n integers and an integer
target
, find three integers in nums
such that
the sum is closest to target
. Return the sum of the three
integers. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.
Example:
Given array nums = [-1, 2, 1, -4], and target = 1.
The sum that is closest to the target is 2. (-1 + 2 + 1 = 2).

FOP Development: Release Mechanics | print-friendly |
Introduction
This page documents the process of creating a FOP release. FOP releases are coordinated by one member of the team (currently Christian Geisert), so others do not ordinarily need to use this information. The purpose of documenting it here is to facilitate consistency, ensure that the process is captured, and to allow others to comment on the process.
The checklist below was assembled from Christian Geisert's notes. It will be expanded in the future as he has time.
Checklist
- Determine whether this is a Release Candidate or a Release.
- Determine whether further testing is required.
- Edit release notes, and commit any changes.
- Update version number in build.xml, and commit the change.
- Tag the source tree with the release ID. For example, if the release is 0.20.5rc3: cvs tag fop-0_20_5rc3
- Make a fresh checkout with the just created tag: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic co -r fop-0_20_5rc3 xml-fop
- Copy jimi and jai to lib/ (jimi-1.0.jar, jai_core.jar, jai_codec.jar)
- Copy jce-jdk13-119.jar from from http://www.bouncycastle.org/latest_releases.html to lib/
- Run build[.sh] dist. Use jdk1.3. A Forrest installation is needed.
- Create signatures. Don't forget to upload your KEY: gpg -a -b --force-v3-sigs fop-0.20.5rc3-bin.tar.gz etc.
- Upload to www.apache.org. (An account on daedalus is needed): scp fop-0.20.5rc3*.tar.gz* chrisg@www.apache.org:/www/www.apache.org/dist/xml/fop/
- Check permissions: chmod 664 ... ; chgrp xml ...
- Add MD5 sums: md5 fop-0.20.5rc3-bin.tar.gz > fop-0.20.5rc3-bin.tar.gz.md5
- Make a test download.
- Wait 24 hours (for the mirrors to catch up).
- Post announcements on fop-dev and fop-user mailing lists.
- Add bugzilla entry for the new release id.

What are the benefits of version control?
Version control is a very cool and can potentially make your life much easier. This process will save you time because it is orderly and simple. From the beginning of writing a program you can save your work. However, version control is not like the common save tool, like Word where when you save your work you replace the current version...
What's your take on the DBC experience?
DBC is going to be an exciting, challenging, and fast-paced environment. I know before even really diving into the material that I am going to learn so much more in nineteen weeks, than an entire year in college. My take on the DBC experience is that DBC is more of an experience than just a school and a “package.” The Kitchen vs. Restaurant was a personal mind opener and DBC is unlike the typical school. It isn’t a competition between...
What are the differences between relative, absolute, and fixed positioning?
Before we dive into the relative, absolute, and fixed positioning. We need to learn more about the background on the subject.  And how these blocks of rectangles are positioned can be static, relative, absolute, or fixed positioning. Before you add any coding or styles to the...
Have you ever thought about how you learn? No, stop, I am actually asking you, have you ever actually sat down and thought about what’s the best learning environment for yourself. Well don’t feel bad, for me I definitely have not. If you say something like “who has the time,” “it’s not relevant to my success,” and “I just want to get things done.” Then you are very similar to me, as I have always thought that learning how I learn seemed very strange to me and think about everything else I could be getting done with this ‘wasted time.’ Nevertheless, when I...
Array vs. Hash, Hash vs. Array. Which one is better? How are they similar? How are they different? Well, I will tell you the short version of everything you will need to know to uses either one of these efficiently. I could give you a technical definition but the simple version is that they both store data. That's it, they keep your information in a nice easily accessible place. But why are there two? Why do we need both?...
How many times in your life have you typed in a password on a web app? Hundreds? Thousands? Crazy right? Think of how many different sites you have to put a password in for? All of the social media sites, bank accounts, health care, email sites, personal sites, and heck even your computer and phone need a password anymore. Now think of how many different password phrases you actually have? Probably not many, right? If you are like me, I have my few variations, but I stick to a simple blueprint; how am I supposed to remember all of the different...
So I am going to explain to you a new method today. Today’s method is “map.” Map is an enumerable method in ruby that can be very powerful and very useful when used correctly. It is familiar to the all popular “each” method, so if you are familiar with the .each method, you are in luck, but if not, don’t worry as I will make them both clear to you...
Pairing and working together is not something you think about when you think of computer programming. The image that pops into my mind is from the movie, The Social Network; a person isolating themselves, wearing big headphone, staring into a computer screen hours on end. It wasn’t until Dev Bootcamp that my notion of individual programming was shattered. Pair programming has become more important in today’s world and is important to recognize...
When you think of a “class” you might think back to when you were 16, sitting in front of your boring World History teacher, trying not to fall asleep. However, I am going to break that nightmare and bring you to a better place; a happy Ruby place. Since, Ruby is an object-oriented language, Ruby’s classes are one of the things that make Ruby special and superior to other languages. Classes are vital to Ruby and a great way to store groups of methods and great to contain variables that can actually be used outside its original method. I always think that it...
What do you think of when you think of stereotypes? Quick, first thing that pops into your mind? Do you perceive stereotypes as positive or negative thing? Yeah, I think I can guess your answers, don’t feel bad, most of us think the same way. It is really tough to think of stereotypes are being portrayed as a positive notion. Most of us have a similar feeling as Claude M. Steele, with his researching minority under-achievement and developed a theory called “Stereotype Threat.” “Stereotype threat refers to being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic, a negative...
Time for one of the most important things in Ruby. Drumroll Please. Dadadadadadadadadadadadadada. Variable Scope! (Cheers throughout the crowd!) I know they are just that cool. Ok, you got me, maybe not that cool, but variables are extremely important to any program as can make your life a living hell if you don’t know how to use them. So it is best to learn them now...
The value that is the most important to me is Confidence. I have always believed that life is 30% of what you do and 70% on how you react to it and having confidence will not only be useful for that first 30%, but prepares you for that other 70%. I believe that everything in life starts with confidence and if you don’t have confidence in yourself, you will not enjoy or succeed at anything in life. Confidence is not a trait, it is a mindset. I know it is rash, but if you have self-confidence, you have the ability to accomplish anything you set your mind to...
Well, I have to say that I love Ruby. Ruby seems to be such as easy language to understand and you have the ability to create programs that people without a computer background can actually understand. I have been working with Ruby and for the past month or so and I have now just launched myself into JavaScript and I have to say that other than the different syntaxes, these object oriented languages are very similar. I could go on and on about all of the different similar things that these two language share, but in this post, I am going to focus on Ruby classes vs. JavaScript constructor functions. So how are Ruby Classes and JavaScript functions different...
The last time I had an emotional conflict with someone was a couple years ago during college. I was having an issue with one of my teammate that also happened to be one of my roommates. It really wasn’t one certain action that he did, but a combination of all his actions that seemed to build up and really get on my nerve as well as it did a few other of my teammates. I guess the big thing that all of this compiled up into was that he thought he was better than everyone else. He thought that he had the right to do what he wanted and he could miss practice...
Regular expressions can be very useful in your programming career and having a good understanding of them will be essential. A regular expression is used to match a pattern against strings. Also called Regexps, they are created using the /.../ or the Regexp::new constructor. Regular expression are basically code using weird symbols to symbolize characters. Regular expressions are patterns which describe the contents of a string. They’re used for testing whether a string contains a given pattern, changing or extracting the portions that match. Here are some...
Looking back on my experience with the Phase 0, the two best learning resources were the power of google and the resourcefulness of asking questions on google hangout. However the issue with asking questions remotely is that it can be hard to receive the exact feedback as you wished. You cannot get mad at the person responding to the question, as they are only trying to help. Therefore, you have to look at the structure of the question you asked. Was the question easy to answer? How would you approach the question if it was asked to you?...
From the second week of Phase 0 when we first launched our website it has been a roller-coaster. Previously, I have not had any HTML or CSS skills so this was a completely new experience to me. I have to say at times it has been frustrating trying to align certain things with CSS, but it also has been a ton of fun building something that is just mine...

--- title: The prospects of Microsoft Word in the wiki-based world layout: post ---
I was having dinner with friends the other day and we started talking about word processing programs we'd all used in office jobs.
"You know, I've been using Word for over 20 years," I said, and immediately felt older than dirt.
But it was true.
Probably the best article I've read regarding the shift away from things like Word. I think this will be true of PowerPoint, as well, although maybe to a lesser extent since a lot of people making PowerPoint documents actually do plan on presenting them with an overhead.

How Did I Get Here?
Reverse Chronological Insight Down the Path of Discovering My Passion for UX Design.
It All Makes Sense Now
After putting a lot of thought into my purpose in this world, I found my true calling: UX Design. The perfect place to merge my analytical mindset with an obsession for creative design.
Time to Shake Things Up
After falling into a routine, it was time for a change. I decided to pack my bags and move to a new city, fulfilling a dream I've had for a long time.
So This is Adulthood
I put my degree into action, not only growing my expertise, but developing professional skills and relationships that would prove to be timeless.
The Journey Begins
Who knew my 4 years in college would result in life-long friendships and experiences that would shape who I am as an individual.
SAVE AN ANGEL WEBSITE
Responsive Redesign for a Non-Profit Organization
THE PROBLEM
Save An Angel is a pet rescue organization that requires the help of the community to fuel its mission efforts.
There is a high interest in getting involved in different areas of the animal rescue mission, including volunteering, adopting, fostering, donating and supporting fundraising events, but users are less likely to help as the required effort increases or resource availability decreases.
Therefore, users need a way to give back with minimal effort and roadblocks.
STAKEHOLDER MEETING TAKEAWAYS
Their main market is women aged roughly 45-55 years, who are tech-savy enough to find their way around facebook.
Most people access the website through mobile. Their current site is outdated and not responsive to screen size.
Save An Angel’s advertisement is most successful when it pulls at the heartstrings. Imagery evoking compassion and empathy pulls the users in.
Most all of their funding comes from individual donations, and they rely on many volunteers to execute their mission.
SURVEY TAKEAWAYS
INTERVIEW TAKEAWAYS
These common themes, pain points, and desires were derived from conducting 7 user interviews.
USER PERSONA
The User Persona below was developed by compiling the research from the stakeholder meeting, survey results, and user interviews.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Reflecting on the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of the Save an Angel organization.
Reflecting on the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of Austin Pets Alive!, Save an Angel's biggest competitor.
FEATURE PRIORITIZATION
Through research and user interviews, the below items became focal points of the redesign.
USER JOURNEY
NAVIGATION CARD SORTING
Card sorting is a hands-on, collaborative exercise where we brainstormed how the navigation would be organized. This included using post-it notes that represented the main, secondary, and footer navigation links.
WIREFRAMING
Initial sketch designs for user interface layout and functionality.
USER TESTING AND DESIGN ITERATION
I used the initial sketches to design low-fidelity prototypes in Adobe XD, which were used in the first round of user testing.
Users were asked to give general feedback on navigation elements and the homepage layout, along with completing 3 tasks: donate money to the organization, research information on the adoption process, and find opportunities to volunteer.
After each round of testing, users provided valuable feedback, which was reflected in the next design rendition.
After multiple rounds of testing and iterating, the final, high-fidelity design was completed.
HOMEPAGE
DESIGN ITERATIONS:
Updated navigation ques & wording
Search bar addition
More focus on "Donate Now" button
NAVIGATION
A-B Testing:
Dropdown Menu vs. Sidebar Menu
FINAL: Slide-Up Menu with Dropdown Sub-Navigation
USER FLOW: DONATE MONEY
DESIGN ITERATIONS:
Enlarged CTA donation buttons
Removed "Ways to Give" landing page
Moved fundraisers link to main menu
WHAT THE USER SEES:
Clear CTA donation button
Multiple ways to donate, including Amazon wishlist
A quick, clear, precise flow through the entire donation process
WHAT THE USER DOES
Donates funds with a minimum amount of clicks and information input
Receives confirmation their donation has been accepted
Sees a playful "Thank You" with a puppy animation at the end of their good deed
ADOPTION RESEARCH DESIGN ITERATIONS
PAIN POINTS AND ITERATIONS:
Pages were overloaded with text
User felt overwhelmed while researching
New dropdown menu navigation - Easier to digest the step-by-step process
VOLUNTEER RESEARCH AND SIGN UP
WHAT THE USER SEES:
A clean layout, clear of daunting forms
Playful, heartwarming imagery that tugs at the users emotions
A simple email sign up, with information to be digested at another time
WHAT THE USER DOES
Scrolls through the page, avoiding overwhelming forms and data input fields
Feels the urge to volunteer after empathizing with all the animals in the photos
Enters their email, a simple process with no upfront commitments
LESSONS LEARNED
Always have a backup strategy. Our stakeholder became wrapped up in prior commitments, so for a portion of the research phase, we had to find other outlets to collect data.
Stay focused on the most prominent needs of the user. Our initial navigation setup had too many key features and links. It took refinement to ensure the user could find what they needed quickly and easily.
Using Agile PM methodology, the team had the ability to accomplish massive goals by dividing up responsibilities, providing constructive feedback, and executing demanding deadlines. The results speak for themselves.
FUTURE EXPANSION
Finish “Donation Impact” page. Show all the good the donations are contributing too, and give donors individual feedback.
Add "Operation Relocation" page. Save An Angel’s animal transport program is an important part of its mission. It deserves its own landing page.
Social Media integration. Most of Save An Angel’s advertising and interaction with the community happens through social media. The goal would be to direct more users from social media to the website. For example, making the website the home of event details instead of social media.
Add a Shop for merchandise. This will offer another way to raise funds and get the word out about Save an Angel.
FITFRIENDS MOBILE APP
Fitness App Design for iOS Devices
THE PROBLEM
Users want to maintain a consistent workout schedule, but they lack motivation and free time due to their job and/or social life interfering.
Therefore users need a way to set up workouts with a partner in order to maintain motivation and consistency.
This will add competition and accountability without compromising social experiences.
SURVEY RESULTS AND TAKEAWAYS
Do You Enjoy Exercising with a Partner?
What Benefits are there for Working Out with Others?
What Prevents You from Working Out with Friends/Partners More?
Final Takeaways
INTERVIEW TAKEAWAYS
These common themes, pain points, and desires were derived from conducting 8 user interviews.
USER PERSONA
The User Persona below was developed by collecting insight from the survey results and user interviews.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Reflecting on the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of FitFriends' Biggest Competitor.
FEATURE PRIORITIZATION
Through research and user interviews, the below items became focal points of the app.
USER JOURNEY
WIREFRAMING
Initial sketch designs for user interface layout and functionality.
USER TESTING AND DESIGN ITERATION
Users were asked to give general feedback on the flow of different tasks I asked them to complete, including creating a profile, and setting up a new workout.
The users were given two different designs, and asked to pick out elements from each design that they felt worked best and provided the best experience.
Each round of testing provided valuable feedback, which was implemented in each design iteration, until the final, high-fidelity design was created.
A-B TESTING: CREATE PROFILE - LOW-FI
Each process had specific differences to narrow down the user's needs and pain points
Users preferred the option to skip specific steps if they pleased
To allow this, the flow was broken down into multiple pages like version 2, rather than one single-scrolling page
A-B TESTING: SET UP WORKOUT - LOW-FI
Once again, each process had specific differences to narrow down the user's needs and pain points
On this task, users preferred to have all information on one page, making it easier to stay organized
Users mentioned how important the visual layout was in helping guide them through the process one section at a time
USER FLOWS: FINAL DESIGN
SET UP ACCOUNT
WHAT THE USER SEES:
An intriguing design to get the user excited about using the app
Clear indicators when an item is selected or a button is active
The option to skip specific steps and streamline the sign up process
WHAT THE USER DOES
Creates a profile specific to their fitness habits and goals
Provides useful information for the app to assist in setting up future workouts
Receives visual confirmation when their task is complete
CREATE NEW WORKOUT
WHAT THE USER SEES:
Lively animations to make the process clear and simple
Variety that allows the user to be specific while not overwhelming them with details
The option to coordinate a workout with a friend, the key selling point of the app
WHAT THE USER DOES
Creates a workout that fits within their busy schedule
Chooses from a variety of options and time slots, keeping the setup flexible
Receives confirmation that the workout has been sent to their friend, ensuring accountability
LESSONS LEARNED
As a project manager, I realized each member of the group has a different approach and personality. It’s important to take the time to learn more about each member, and be empathetic with their thought process.
Always design and iterate based on what is discovered in the research, without making assumptions. Relating to the core user doesn’t qualify as an exception.
A-B testing is the best way to finding a solution to a specific question or problem.
FUTURE EXPANSION
Implement a heart-monitoring feature to offer better fitness tracking abilities.
Expand beyond partner workouts to offer larger groups to all sync into a scheduled workout.
Further explore the possibilities of creating workouts with new friends, similar to a dating app, but with like-minded people who share similar fitness goals.

Delete all the files on the filesystem IF the image isn't being used. Presents list of places the image is being used for review.
| executeDeleteUsed | ( | sfWebRequest $ | request | ) |
Delete an image that is being used. User will have had to review its usage and confirm it should be deleted.
| executeEdit | ( | sfWebRequest $ | request | ) |
Override this action so we can pass the 'edit' option to the form. This allows us to set the filename field of the form to be optional, as an image will already have been uploaded when creating the object.
| executeUpload | ( | sfWebRequest $ | request | ) |
A generic upload action for creating new images and saving them with tags, not not associating with any object.
A straight forward add to pool action. Written to allow integration with other plugins or uploading contexts which don't involve the admin gen and an sfImagePoolImage form. Handles multiple files, all with same tags. Good for WYSIWYG editor integration.
Checks for a 'tag' field name and uses this to add tags. Can be a CSV list or a single string.
Only works with POST data, doesn't aim to replace any data (PUT).
| executeUploadCrop | ( | sfWebRequest $ | request | ) |

Just a couple of things to attend to today. First, over at Gruts, Richard Carter quotes some amusing snippets about O. Henry and Osbert Lancaster. One wants to learn much more about the latter's father-in-law. Were the rest of his “numerous” delusions as delightfully specific as the belief that he “had crossed the Channel with Blériot”?
Second, it has occurred to me that one thing I would really, really like to do is to write a smash hit million-selling pop song about a farmyard mishap, entitled 16 Tons Of Slurry.


There's one difference between regular guards and the websockets guards.
The websockets guards takes the data
passed from the client instead of expressjs request object as an argument of the canActivate()
function.
Also, when the guard returns false
, it throws WsException
(not HttpException
).
Hint TheWsException
class is available within the@nestjs/websockets
package.
