 Everyting from the phone in your pocket to the supercomputers of industry like Google. But there is one significant aspect that ties all of these together... and that is that every bit of information can and is represented by a sequence of 1's and 0's.
Although that may not seem problematic, it does have a big drawback. Consider conventional memory of 11 bits, this stores one binary number up to 2047. Now compare that to a register of 11 qubits, which stores all of the numbers from 0 to 2048. Now that is a huge improvement.
Now that we have our all-mighty qubits, we need a way to represent them, and also more specifically a way to visualise changes that occur on them. Low and a behold such a device exists! Utilising what is known as the Bloch Sphere to represent qubits as a 3-dimensional vector in Hilbert space... That was probably quite a mouthful, so rather than speaking mathematical gibberish lets take a look at this sphere.
The principle behind the Bloch Sphere is that we have the poles at the top and bottom represent a complete 1 state (up) and 0 state (down).
We write these in Bra-Ket notation |1>
and |0>
. But because we are talking quantum bits, we can represent more than just 1 and 0, rotating the position
on the sphere by 180 degrees we get a superpositon between the two, written as: |Ψ> = ½|0> + ½|1>
. This shows that the state (when measured) has a
50/50 chance of being 1 or 0, as shown by the coefficients of |0>
and |1>
. Changing the positon of |Ψ>
, represents different states.
Each of which is related to the values of theta (θ) and phi (φ).
Both quantum gates and classical gates are logic gates, they compare binary conditions for an output. However, quantum gates leverage two important elements of quantum mechanics for some pretty spectacular effects; entanglement and superposition. These concepts allow quantum gates to utilise their full potential of many states inside just a single qubit.
A particularly notable result is that quantum gates are reversable. This basically means that any change made by a gate, when run through that gate again undoes that change. Let's take a look at some of these gates.
First up are the Pauli gates (named after Wolfgang Pauli): X, Y and Z. The X gate is basically the equivalent of a not gate, or logical negation. It
takes a qubit such as |1>
and flips it to |0>
. Think of it as a rotation around the x-axis of the Bloch Sphere.
Y and Z gates are similar by apply rotations to the y and z axis of the Bloch Sphere. Their matrix representations are as follows:
One of the most important gates in quantum computing is the Hadamard. This gate is the basis of almost every uniquely quantum algorithm
that exists. It's purpose it to take a state such as |0>
and create a superpositon of its possible states: |Ψ>=|0>+|1>
.
This is quite a difficult concept to wrap your head around, the illustration of the opetation on the Bloch Sphere below should give you a better idea.
Note: There are even more gates than are listed here, if you want explore them check out the wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate
In 1981, Richard Feynman proposed for the first time, a new type of computer. A quantum computer. Algorithms created for a quantum computer would exploit the unique non-classical systems on which they are built, allowing them to process extrordinarily large quantities of data in polynomial time.
A well known, if not the most well known, algorithm used in quantum computing is Peter Shor's algorithm for prime factorisation in polynomial time*. This algorithm presents a problem for public-key cyptography, such as the RSA algorithm, due to the fact that they depend on large primes. Shor proved that implementing his algorithm on a quantum computer would be unprecidented in speed as opposed to the enourmous amount of time to run it classically.
Essentially the algorithm utilised the QFT (Quantum Fourier Transform) to run to find the period of a function on x. It does this but having a superposition of all function variations at once, the ones that dont lead to an answer interfere destructively and the ones that lead to an answer constructively interfere. We use this to find the period of the following function: From the result, we can derive that the factors of N are:
Another well known algorithm is for super-dense coding and transmittion of bits via entanglement. The algorithm goes like this; Alice and Bob share a pair of entangled qubits, Alice wants to send two classical bits to Bob. To achieve theis, they must adhere to a protocol:
Below is a table showing each of the possible transfers done with the two entangled qubits.
| Tranferred Bits | Alice's Operation | Resulting Two-Qubit State | Bob's Measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
QComp.js is a JavaScript library that I built to simulate quantum computing, more specifically qubits and quantum gates. The basic idea is that you initialise a new quantum register with bit values as an string argument (either Bra-Ket notation or just numbers), for example:
const qc = new QC("|01101>");
Then you apply your algorithm as a series of gate calls on qc. As an example, we will use a Pauli-X gate on bits 0 and 1 and then a Hadamard gate on
bits 2 and 3. Putting this inside a log();
command to display it in the result section:
log(qc.X([0,1]).H([2,3]).getValues());
The resut of this series of operations is:
As an example of gate reversal, lets apply the Hadamard to bits 2 and 3 again:
log(qc.H([2,3]).getValues());
And there we go! we have the same result as if you were to just apply the Pauli-X to bits 0 and 1 (You may get some rounding errors; 0.9 recurring instead 1).
The full spec sheet for QComp.js can be found here, it's a good idea to read this before you start coding!
There is an in-browser JavaScript IDE and interpreter below which you can use to test out this library, if you want to get a copy of the library itself, there is a link to the GitLab repositsory where you can download it.
Note: You can change the IDE theme by clicking on the cog icon in the top right of the result panel.

Press release
GCSE results day
Statement from Minister of State for School Standards Nick Gibb.
School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said:
The hard work and determination of hundreds of thousands of 16-year-olds will be rewarded today as they collect their
GCSE
results; qualifications that are the gateway to the next stage of their education.
We want to make our country a place where there is no limit on anyone’s ambition or what they can achieve - that’s why we are working to ensure there are even more high-quality schools in every part of the country.
And I am pleased to see that there are more
GCSEs
being taken in the
core academic subjects
, those that give students a wider range of opportunities.
And for those 17-year-olds who have struggled to achieve good grades in maths, we are seeing 4,000 more successful retakes of those exams, delivering better prospects for every one of those young people.
Today’s (25 August 2016)
GCSE
results show:
-
entries to
STEM
subjects by students aged 16 have increased by 6.4% compared to 2015. The government is committed to making Britain the best place in the world to study
STEM
subjects - helping to boost the UK economy in the long term
-
there has been a significant increase in the number of entries by students studying
GCSE
computer science, from 35,414 in 2015 to 62,454 in 2016. The number of girls studying computer science has more than doubled since last year
-
there has been a 3.4% increase in the overall entries to
EBacc
subjects
for students aged 16, including rises in biology, chemistry, physics, core science, additional science, geography, history and computing
-
the number of entries to the religious studies
GCSE
is the highest since 2002. This shows that schools and students value the contribution that
RS
can bring to a broad and rounded education
-
as a result of the government’s early entry rule, where only the first exam entry counts towards
performance tables
, the number of under 16s being entered for
GCSEs
continues to drop. Entries are down by 28% year on year, so more students are being entered when they have been fully prepared for their examinations
-
this summer thousands more 17-year-olds successfully resat their maths and English
GCSEs
thanks to colleges and schools across England. 51,200 maths exams sat by students aged 17 and over were graded A* to C - up from 30,000 in 2012. For English, the equivalent figures were 34,500 in 2016, up from 21,100 in 2012
-
the government’s new
GCSEs
will build on these successes by requiring pupils to study more rigorous curricula, in line with the best in the world, to ensure more young people acquire the skills and knowledge to succeed in modern Britain
-
there are more than 1.4 million more children in ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’ schools than in 2010


Several banners have been put up across the city attacking Mr Finucane and his family, including his late father Pat who was murdered by the UFF, a loyalist group with links to the UDA, in February 1989.
One of the signs has been put up on Mayo Street off the Shankill Road in west Belfast.
The party said it and Mr Finucane have reported the banners as hate crimes.
North Belfast MLA Gerry Kelly said the banners were an attempt to incite hatred and should be taken down.
"The banners inciting people to hatred should be removed immediately and those responsible should be prosecuted," he said.
"These banners have been erected against a backdrop of threats from loyalist paramilitaries against the UUP, Sinn Féin posters being taken down by masked men and the deafening silence of the DUP.
"The attacks on John Finucane are an attack on the wider democratic process.
"The DUP must break its silence on these attacks, defend the democratic process and support the police in taking action against those responsible."
The DUP has been contacted for comment.

Conv3DTranspose
Transposed convolution layer (sometimes called Deconvolution).
Inherits From: Conv3D

tf.compat.v1.keras.layers.Convolution3DTranspose
tf.compat.v2.keras.layers.Conv3DTranspose
tf.compat.v2.keras.layers.Convolution3DTranspose
tf.keras.layers.Convolution3DTranspose
The need for transposed convolutions generally arises from the desire to use a transformation going in the opposite direction of a normal convolution, i.e., from something that has the shape of the output of some convolution to something that has the shape of its input while maintaining a connectivity pattern that is compatible with said convolution.
When using this layer as the first layer in a model,
provide the keyword argument input_shape
(tuple of integers, does not include the sample axis),
e.g. input_shape=(128, 128, 128, 3)
for a 128x128x128 volume with 3 channels
if data_format="channels_last"
.
filters
: Integer, the dimensionality of the output space
(i.e. the number of output filters in the convolution).kernel_size
: An integer or tuple/list of 3 integers, specifying the
depth, height and width of the 3D convolution window.
Can be a single integer to specify the same value for
all spatial dimensions.strides
: An integer or tuple/list of 3 integers,
specifying the strides of the convolution along the depth, height
and width.
Can be a single integer to specify the same value for
all spatial dimensions.
Specifying any stride value != 1 is incompatible with specifying
any dilation_rate
value != 1.padding
: one of "valid"
or "same"
(case-insensitive).output_padding
: An integer or tuple/list of 3 integers,
specifying the amount of padding along the depth, height, and
width.
Can be a single integer to specify the same value for all
spatial dimensions.
The amount of output padding along a given dimension must be
lower than the stride along that same dimension.
If set to None
(default), the output shape is inferred.data_format
: A string,
one of channels_last
(default) or channels_first
.
The ordering of the dimensions in the inputs.
channels_last
corresponds to inputs with shape
(batch, depth, height, width, channels)
while channels_first
corresponds to inputs with shape
(batch, channels, depth, height, width)
.
It defaults to the image_data_format
value found in your
Keras config file at ~/.keras/keras.json
.
If you never set it, then it will be "channels_last".dilation_rate
: an integer or tuple/list of 3 integers, specifying
the dilation rate to use for dilated convolution.
Can be a single integer to specify the same value for
all spatial dimensions.
Currently, specifying any dilation_rate
value != 1 is
incompatible with specifying any stride value != 1.activation
: Activation function to use.
If you don't specify anything, no activation is applied
(ie. "linear" activation: a(x) = x
).use_bias
: Boolean, whether the layer uses a bias vector.kernel_initializer
: Initializer for the kernel
weights matrix.bias_initializer
: Initializer for the bias vector.kernel_regularizer
: Regularizer function applied to
the kernel
weights matrix.bias_regularizer
: Regularizer function applied to the bias vector.activity_regularizer
: Regularizer function applied to
the output of the layer (its "activation").kernel_constraint
: Constraint function applied to the kernel matrix.bias_constraint
: Constraint function applied to the bias vector.5D tensor with shape:
(batch, channels, depth, rows, cols)
if data_format='channels_first'
or 5D tensor with shape:
(batch, depth, rows, cols, channels)
if data_format='channels_last'.
5D tensor with shape:
(batch, filters, new_depth, new_rows, new_cols)
if
data_format='channels_first'
or 5D tensor with shape:
(batch, new_depth, new_rows, new_cols, filters)
if
data_format='channels_last'.
depth
and rows
and cols
values might have changed due to padding.
__init__
__init__( filters, kernel_size, strides=(1, 1, 1), padding='valid', output_padding=None, data_format=None, activation=None, use_bias=True, kernel_initializer='glorot_uniform', bias_initializer='zeros', kernel_regularizer=None, bias_regularizer=None, activity_regularizer=None, kernel_constraint=None, bias_constraint=None, **kwargs )

Visual Attention Analysis in Immersive Virtual Reality
Zhiming Hu, Sheng Li, and Meng Gai
Background Eye tracking technology is receiving increased attention in the field of virtual reality. Specifically, future gaze prediction is crucial in pre-computation for many applications such as gaze-contingent rendering, advertisement placement, and content-based design. To explore future gaze prediction, it is necessary to analyze the temporal continuity of visual attention in immersive virtual reality. Methods In this paper, the concept of temporal continuity of visual attention is presented. Subsequently, an autocorrelation function method is proposed to evaluate the temporal continuity. Thereafter, the temporal continuity is analyzed in both free-viewing and task-oriented conditions. Results Specifically, in free-viewing conditions, the analysis of a free-viewing gaze dataset indicates that the temporal continuity performs well only within a short time interval. A task-oriented game scene condition was created and conducted to collect users' gaze data. An analysis of the collected gaze data finds the temporal continuity has a similar performance with that of the free-viewing conditions. Temporal continuity can be applied to future gaze prediction and if it is good, users' current gaze positions can be directly utilized to predict their gaze positions in the future. Conclusions The current gaze's future prediction performances are further evaluated in both free-viewing and task-oriented conditions and discover that the current gaze can be efficiently applied to the task of short-term future gaze prediction. The task of long-term gaze prediction still remains to be explored.

In the 2017 fiscal year, Ohio University received $22,511,557 from alumni donations. However, in 2008 the largest donation, which was by Fritz and Dolores Russ, totaled about $124 million.
The Russ Gift was the largest donation given to a public engineering college in the U.S at the time. Their donation was $124 million, which makes Fritz J. and Dolores H. Russ the donors who have donated the most money in OU history. In addition to the $124 million, the Russes donated another $8 million before.
Even though the gift was given in 2008, the money is still trickling down through different programs, scholarships and renovations.
The college faced several challenges at the time the Russes gave their gift such as low enrollment due to students wanting to attend colleges closer to their homes, Dennis Irwin, dean of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, said.
There was also a large number of faculty retirements approaching, and the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio changed its policies for retirement. About 20 faculty members were looking at retirement at the time, Irwin said.
When Fritz Russ died in 2004 and Dolores Russ died in 2008, they did not liquidate any of their assets, and they gave their estate to the college, Irwin said. There were parts of their estate the college did not know the value of, such as stock portfolio that was not publicly traded. Originally, the gift was thought to be worth about $95 million but once re-valued, it increased to about $124 million.
“The Russ Gift has really been able to change the nature of the college,” Irwin said.
Since the gift was donated, there has been about a 70 percent increase in enrollment.
Fritz Russ graduated from OU with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering in 1942 and also earned an honorary degree in 1975. That same year, he married Dolores. As a result of Fritz and Dolores’ years of donations and innovations, the Russ College of Engineering and Technology was named in honor of the Russ family in 1994.
Marcus Pavilonis | ILLUSTRATION
Fritz developed a missile guidance and control system when the two moved to Dayton to work at the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Fritz and Dolores founded Systems Research Laboratories (SRL) in 1955, which was one of the nation’s leading electronic and automation corporations before it merged with Arvin Industries in 1987, according to OU’s website.
Both Fritz and Dolores were dedicated to the field of engineering.
Irwin said he once heard Fritz say, “I want the Russ College to be the best college of engineering in the country.”
Before Fritz and Dolores died, they wanted an oversight committee to determine where the money would go. Currently, the committee meets three to four times a year to discuss where the funds are being used and the budget for the next year, Irwin said.
The oversight committee consists of the president of the university, the dean of the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, the director of the Cutler Scholars Program, the chairperson of the Russ College advisory board and another engineering representative from the community, Irwin said.
The Russ gift has contributed to many areas of the university, such as scholarships, faculty enhancements, student organizations, facilities and the Russ Prize.
The Russ Gift provides about $1,375,000 annually for scholarships, Irwin said. There are two scholarships that come from the Russ gift: the Russ Vision Scholarships and the Russ Impact Scholarships, according to Ken Sampson, the associate dean for Enrollment Management and Accreditation.
The Russ Vision Scholarship is renewable for four years and can provide $2,000 to $5,000 a year per student, and there are about 300 students who win the award per year, Sampson said. The scholarships are based on the abilities of the students, and the requirements change each year. The Russ Impact Scholarship is given to about 100 students, Sampson said. These students receive scholarships from the OHIO Signature Awards, and then the Russ College of Engineering and Technology adds the difference to equal full in-state tuition.
With the scholarships, the engineering college is trying to improve the overall quality of students, but also the diversity of the college, Sampson said. Because the college is about 85 percent men and 15 percent women, according to a previous Post report, the gifts have tried to help recruit more women to programs.
In addition to scholarships, the Russ gift supports the Russ Prize, which is an award given to a professional in the field of engineering. It is given every other year and averages about $400,000 a year.
“The Russ Prize is awarded by the National Academy of Engineering, and we work with them to make the award … the world’s top award in bioengineering,” Irwin said.
When faculty members retire, the college uses faculty “startup” packages that cost about $375,000 a year in order to recruit potential faculty. Provided by the Russ Gift, those packages typically include lab enhancements and even new facilities, Irwin said.
When replacing a faculty member, the college looks to recruit recent Ph.D. graduates from the top 50 engineering colleges in the country, Irwin said.
“Everybody in the world is competing for these people so we do have to pay a competitive salary,” Irwin said.
Once those members are hired, the college wants them to start their research very early. Some new professors require different instruments to conduct research. For example, Irwin pointed to one new hire who needs an instrument that costs well over $100,000.
Something that the Russ gift helped pay for is the Ohio University Mobile Civil Infrastructure Lab. This gives researchers like Shad Sargand, a Russ Professor in civil engineering, the ability to take a lab to research sites, giving OU researchers an advantage over any other researchers, Sargand said.
The lab has thermal cameras, a weather station and instruments to test asphalt and concrete, Sargand said. Before the college had the mobile lab, researchers had to take the materials back to the lab, which was a problem because they would often get damaged.
“(The Russ Gift) was a huge help in giving funds to our research,” Sargand said.
The Russ Gift also helped solve the problem of too many students and not enough space. Labs had to be open until 11:00 p.m. because enrollment had increased so much, and only 20 students could be in the lab at once. The department was able to duplicate the labs to allow students to work during normal hours. The Russ Gift paid for it entirely, costing $200,000.
Engineering Technology and Management has a robotics lab that had some robots that were more than 20 years old. The Russ Gift was able to provide about $250,000 to purchase 12 new robots.
“About three years ago the department purchased four 3D plastic printers to our design lab,” Myers said.
With that purchase, the school also acquired two coordinate measuring machines. For the printers and the coordinate measuring machines, the gift provided $130,000.
The college spends about $815,000 annually on different facilities projects, all from the Russ Gift. The gift also allots $850,000 of funding for “special instructional enhancements,” which includes tailored math instruction for students, Irwin said.
The money for the Academic and Research Center, which is shared with the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, was in part due to the Russ gift, Irwin said. There were other sources of funding as well.
The college has also used the gift to refurbish interior spaces in Stocker Center, such as hallways, Irwin said.
Other than scholarships and facilities enhancements, the gift provides about $170,000 annually for student organizations.
When he was a student in the Russ College of Engineering and Technology, Cody Petitt was part of starting the BattleCat in 2014, an organization that builds robots and fights other robots in a national competition, Petitt said.
“They built their wealth to give away (to the college)”Dennis Irwin
The following year, there was another graduate student who wanted to start a human-powered vehicle team through the American Society of Mechanical Engineering, Petitt said. The Russ Gift helped with purchasing resources, materials and the money to travel to Florida.
In 2016, OU hosted the American Society of Mechanical Engineering human-powered vehicle event and about 40 schools were involved, Petitt said.
The Russ Gift has supported the organization in two ways. It supported the team, but it also enabled the group to host the event, Petitt said.
The Russ Gift is also helping to fund student trips, Todd Myers, the chair of the department of Engineering Technology and Management said. The students and department are asked to raise 50 percent of the cost, and the gift will match it. Students have been to Chicago, Cincinnati and Kansas City for plant tours, trade shows or conventions.
The Russ family was committed to the college of engineering with research, innovations, and of course, financially.
“They built their wealth to give away (to the college),” Irwin said.

Currency conversion should be easy.
I was growing tired of trying to adapt those 10-year-old "FREE Currency Converter JavaScripts!" into something workable for our enterprise app at demand analytics - so I wrote a simple library, with one function: to convert a value from any currency to any other currency.
Aside: exchange rate data should be free.
This tied in closely with the “They want how much per month for their exchange-rates API?!” conundrum, where all the (freely available) data is hidden behind a hefty paywall - so I figured I could take a shot at that, too.
The Open Source Exchange Rates API project is powered by a simple nodeJS scraper, the lovable (and deadly) Currency Bot, which collects all the exchange rates from the Google Calculator API (one by one) every hour, then pushes them in JSON format to a public GitHub repository for everybody to use as a de-facto API.
The rates are also available historically for any day since the project started, and could soon be extended to provide data going back several years.
In the documentation, there are examples showing how to integrate the API data (or any exchange-rate data) with the library, in only a few lines of code.
You only need the conversion rates relative to any single currency, in order to be able to convert values between any other two currencies; money.js does it all for you.
Downloads
NB: money.js is currently alpha, and hasn't had enough testing. Give it a week or two to hammer out any bugs, before using it in a production website/app.
» money.js development version (4.3 kb)
» money.min.js production/minified version (1.1 kb)
There are more download options available on the GitHub repository, at josscrowcroft/money.js.
Demo Playground
Oh hey! You can use this JavaScript Sandbox to play around with money.js and kick the tires a bit. It's running in a separate (sandboxed) scope, but you have access to jQuery, underscore, accounting.js and money.js. You can use :load script.js
to load extra libraries, or try :help
if stuck.
Exchange rates should be set up already (defaults = from: "USD"
, to: "GBP"
) but if not, try refreshing the page. There are also some sample commands to try out.
Some sample commands to get you started:

- fx.convert()
- fx.noConflict()
- Chaining with fx(val)
- Usage with 'accounting.js'
- Usage in nodeJS/npm
- Usage as a RequireJS/AMD module
Basic Installation
You've probably figured this one out, but here's how to use money.js as a standalone library (for modules and script loaders, there are guides lower down.) Just download the minified or development version of money.js, and include it like this:
<script src="path/to/money.js"></script>
You'll need to do one more thing before you can use it, though, which is...
Setting up exchange rates with fx.rates
First and foremost, to convert currencies, you're going to need some exchange rates, and a base currency. (As long as you have exchange rates for every currency you need relative to one single other currency, money.js can convert between any two; see fx.convert
for details on that.)
The library doesn't really care which format you use for the currency names, how accurate they are, or which currency is your base rate - all that matters is the object format, shown below.
Rates are stored in the fx.rates
object, while the base currency is stored in fx.base
. They look kinda like this:
fx.base = "USD"; fx.rates = { "EUR" : 0.74510096, // eg. 1 USD === 0.74510096 EUR "GBP" : 0.64771034, "HKD" : 7.78191949, "USD" : 1, // always include the base rate (1:1) /* etc */ }
You can include as many or as few currencies as you need, and the rates can be approximate, historical or just plain wrong (though I wouldn't recommend it.)
But where do the exchange rates come from?
You can use the latest rates from the Open Source Exchange Rates API, which are delivered in JSON format, ready for use with money.js. Ideally, you could load them inline into the HTML (on the server) - but you can also easily load them in via AJAX, or a script loader. With jQuery, you could do this:
<script type="text/javascript"> // Load exchange rates data via the cross-domain/AJAX proxy: $.getJSON( 'http://openexchangerates.org/latest.json', function(data) { // Check money.js has finished loading: if ( typeof fx !== "undefined" && fx.rates ) { fx.rates = data.rates; fx.base = data.base; } else { // If not, apply to fxSetup global: var fxSetup = { rates : data.rates, base : data.base } } } ); </script>
AJAX works great, but you'll need to wait until the GET request has completed before you can get converting, and if it fails, you should have a plan B.
A slightly better and more reliable way is to bootstrap the exchange rates inline into your HTML page, using CURL or some other library to grab the file, then printing them out in a script tag. Here's a PHP example:
<!-- assuming you've already loaded money.js, above --> <script type="text/javascript"> fx.rates = {<?php echo json_encode($rates); ?>}; fx.base = "<?php echo $base ?>"; </script>
For a solid solution, Currency Bot recommends combining both approaches - inlining the approximate/cached exchange rates, then grabbing the most up-to-date rates via AJAX at load time, replacing the bootstrapped data once the request completes.
There are more examples and methods of grabbing the latest (and historical) data on the Open Source Exchange Rates project homepage.
Again, whichever API or data source you use, all you need to make certain of is that there is a base currency, and that the exchange rates are in the object format given above.
fx.settings and fxSetup
You can use fx.settings
to set default from
and to
currencies, after the library has loaded. If you want or need to set these before the library has loaded, create a global object called fxSetup
, with the same properties:
// Using `fx.settings` (must be after loading the library) fx.settings = { from : "GBP", to : "AED" }; // Using `fxSetup` (must be before loading the library; see note) var fxSetup = { from : "GBP", to : "AED" };
Note about using fxSetup: If using fxSetup
, the variable needs to be available to the library (in scope) - so use window.fxSetup
if needed. Also note that the fxSetup method won't work if using money.js as an AMD / CommonJS module, because it won't have access to outside variables (so use fx.settings
for those).
Oh, and you can also use fxSetup
to load in the exchange rates and base currency before loading the library, which would look something like this:
// Adding exchange rates and base currency to `fxSetup`: var fxSetup = { from : "GBP", to : "AED", base : "USD", rates : { "AED" : 3.67290571 /* etc. */ } };
fx.convert(val, [opts])
The basic function of the library - converts a value from one currency to another. Uses the default from
and to
currencies in fx.settings
, or those given in opts
:
// Using defaults: fx.settings = { from: "USD", to: "GBP" }; fx.convert(1000); // 647.71034 // With options: fx.convert(1000, {to: "HKD"}); // 7781.91949 (default `from` currency) fx.convert(1000, {from: "GBP", to: "HKD"}); // 12014.50549
fx.convert
can convert from any currency to any currency, provided they're both in the fx.rates
object. For example, if all rates are relative to USD (1:1), and you have the rate for USD:GBP
and USD:HKD
, you can specify {from: "GBP", to: "HKD"}
- money.js will figure out the rate between the two currencies.
Currency names
Currency names directly reference entries in the fx.rates
object, so you're not limited to using the standard 3-letter currency codes. If for some reason your exchange rates API gives pounds (£) as "Great British Pounds Sterling"
, that's what you'd use instead of "GBP"
, naturally. Same goes for other currencies.
If you pass in a currency in from
or to
for which you don't have an exchange rate, money.js will throw an error to let you know that the rate wasn't found.
A little note about accuracy
It's a really good idea to inform your users that the exchange rates / currency conversion is for informational purposes only. Bear in mind that no exchange rates can be truly accurate, because everybody takes their cut when money changes currency and rates do tend to fluctuate. And you don't want to be dealing with customers who are angry because their bank charged them $1.40 more than your website quoted. Lecture over!
fx.noConflict() available in standalone mode (not AMD/CJS)
Let's face it, fx
is a pretty common namespace (think 'animation'), so money.js stores a reference to the previous global value of fx
, if any, in case you need to restore it.
If you're using another library that creates a global fx
object or function, you can use fx.noConflict
to restore its value and, at the same time, assign the money.js library object to another variable:
// Assign the money.js library to a global money
object:
var money = fx.noConflict();
// `fx` is now back to whatever it was before money.js was loaded, and you can still use the library via the `money` reference, like so:
money.convert(5318008);
money.settings.from = "JPY";
money(5318008).to("HKD");
Chaining with fx(val)
money.js provides basic 'chaining' (i.e. connecting method calls together, with each acting on the value returned by the previous.)
This allows a more expressive, human-readable way of writing code, where the underlying functions are exactly the same. The methods are as follows:
fx() returns a wrapped fx object for chaining (doesn't do any converting)
fx(16288) // (fxWrapper) // NB: if parameter is a string, fx() will attempt to parse it to extract the // `from` currency and `value`, so this is the same as the next example: fx("$16288 HKD") // (fxWrapper)
.from() returns a wrapped fx object, with the value converted from base
to from
currency:
fx(16288).from("HKD") // (fxWrapper)
.to() takes a wrapped fx object and converts to target currency:
fx(16288).to("GBP"); // 10549.90608307 (uses default `from` currency) fx(16288).from("AED").to("GBP"); // 2872.35962914
.convert() takes a wrapped fx object and performs fx.convert(val, [opts])
on it:
fx(16288).convert(); // uses default `from` / `to` currencies fx(16288).convert({ from:"HKD", to:"GBP" }); // 1355.69458109
Usage with accounting.js
money.js works great with accounting.js - a library that provides reliable localisation and formatting of money and currency. Here are a few examples, just for kicks:
var value = accounting.unformat(someNumber); // clean up number (eg. user input) var toCurrency = "GBP"; // or some user input accounting.formatMoney( fx.convert(value, {from:"USD", to: toCurrency}), { symbol: toCurrency, format: "%v %s" }); // eg. "53,180.08 GBP"
The reason this is a good idea is that, by design, money.js returns a floating point value with high precision, eg. 8 decimal places (depending on the precision of the relative exchange rates and input value), which is pretty useless if you're displaying prices of things, which generally have 0 or 2 decimal places. accounting.js takes care of all the formatting you'll need for displaying your ready-converted currencies.
You could use val.toFixed(2)
of course, but we're all (mostly) aware of how quirky (read: ‘arghh!’) that can be:
// accounting.toFixed() is a replacement for (Number).toFixed(): (0.615).toFixed(2); // "0.61" <== wtfjs?? accounting.toFixed(0.615, 2); // "0.62" <== that's better
Usage in nodeJS/npm (CommonJS)
money.js can easily be used inside nodeJS or any other CommonJS module loader:
var fx = require("/path/to/money"); // Now load in your exchange rates and create `fx.settings` if needed
You can also install it via npm install money
, then just use:
var fx = require("money");
Usage as a RequireJS/AMD module
money.js also exposes itself (ha ha) as an AMD module, for script loaders such as RequireJS. This assumes you've read up on AMD modules and understand the syntax:
// Usage as a dependency: require(["path/to/money"], function(fx) { // Now you have a well-scoped `fx` object to use! fx.convert(5318008); });
You'll need to set up money.js inside the callback function, with fx.rates
, fx.base
and (optionally) fx.settings
- once those are set up, they'll also be set up anywhere else you use fx
.
That just about sums it up
That's really all you need to remember - fx.rates
and fx.base
are important, and your basic function is fx.convert(val, [opts])
, which can be written like this: fx(val).from("USD").to("GBP")
or in several other ways (re-read the docs if unsure.)
Feedback / bugs:
If you have any feedback, any at all, tweet @josscrowcroft, or head over to the money.js github repository and create a new issue. I'm expecting a few bugs to crop up here and there, so you can help a tonne by reporting them and making suggestions!
Pull requests / contributions are similarly welcome. Get forkin'.

And when I stand up, when I stand before Christ, I want there to be blood on my knees, and my elbows. I want to be covered with mud.

Man charged with attempting to kill woman
by Staff WriterPOLICE have charged a 67-year-old Bertram man with one count of ‘attempting unlawfully to kill’ after an incident on Sunday night.
Police say a woman, who was known to the man, received a wound to her neck in the incident.
The woman, aged in her 30s, sought assistance from staff at a nearby restaurant.
She was taken by ambulance to Fiona Stanley Hospital for treatment.
The man is due to appear in Rockingham Magistrates Court today.


PSALMS 43
1 God, declare that I am innocent.
Defend me when people say things against me—those people who do not honor you!
Rescue me from people who deceive me and say things about me that are not true.
2 You are God, the one who protects me;
why have you abandoned me?
It does not seem right that I should always have to be sad
because of my enemies acting cruelly toward me.
3 Speak true words that help me to live.
Give a command that will allow me to go back to Zion, your sacred hill in Jerusalem,
and to your temple where you live.
4 When you do that, I will go to your altar
to worship you, my God, who causes me to be very joyful.
There I will praise you, the God whom I worship, and I will play my harp.
5 So why am I sad and discouraged?
I confidently expect God to bless me,
and again I will praise him,
my God, the one who saves me.

GROUPADD
Section: System Management Commands (8)Updated: 07/24/2009
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
groupadd - create a new groupSYNOPSIS
- groupadd [options] group
DESCRIPTION
OPTIONS
The options which apply to the groupadd command are:
-f, --force
- This option causes the command to simply exit with success status if the specified group already exists. When used with -g, and the specified GID already exists, another (unique) GID is chosen (i.e. -g is turned off).
-g, --gid GID
- The numerical value of the group's ID. This value must be unique, unless the -o option is used. The value must be non-negative. The default is to use the smallest ID value greater than 999 and greater than every other group. Values between 0 and 999 are typically reserved for system accounts.
-h, --help
- Display help message and exit.
-K, --key KEY=VALUE
-
Overrides
/etc/login.defs
defaults (GID_MIN, GID_MAX and others). Multiple
-K
options can be specified.
Example: -K GID_MIN=100 -K GID_MAX=499
Note: -K GID_MIN=10,GID_MAX=499 doesn't work yet.
-o, --non-unique
- This option permits to add a group with a non-unique GID.
-p, --password PASSWORD
-
The encrypted password, as returned by
crypt(3). The default is to disable the password.
Note: This option is not recommended because the password (or encrypted password) will be visible by users listing the processes.
You should make sure the password respects the system's password policy.
-r, --system
-
Create a system group.
The numeric identifiers of new system groups are choosen in the SYS_GID_MIN-SYS_GID_MAX range, defined in login.defs, instead of GID_MIN-GID_MAX.
CONFIGURATION
The following configuration variables in /etc/login.defs change the behavior of this tool:
GID_MAX (number), GID_MIN (number)
- Range of group IDs used for the creation of regular groups by useradd, groupadd, or newusers.
MAX_MEMBERS_PER_GROUP (number)
-
Maximum members per group entry. When the maximum is reached, a new group entry (line) is started in
/etc/group
(with the same name, same password, and same GID).
The default value is 0, meaning that there are no limits in the number of members in a group.
This feature (split group) permits to limit the length of lines in the group file. This is useful to make sure that lines for NIS groups are not larger than 1024 characters.
If you need to enforce such limit, you can use 25.
Note: split groups may not be supported by all tools (even in the Shadow toolsuite). You should not use this variable unless you really need it.
SYS_GID_MAX (number), SYS_GID_MIN (number)
- Range of group IDs used for the creation of system groups by useradd, groupadd, or newusers.
FILES
/etc/group
- Group account information.
/etc/gshadow

What is Sphere?
Sphere is a personal concept I created inpired by Instagram. The inspiration came from my habit of following fashion bloggers on their own sites, where they put up links to the clothing from their photos with a small story about the outfit. I found it would be super useful if there is a mobile blogger app that could share those shoppable links in each post, and encourage direct purchase within the same app.
Design Process
Identify User Needs & Pain Points
By running interviews and surveys with target users, we learned more about their behavior and needs under specific scenarios, as well as daily habits and shopping patterns. These data helped us identify the major pain points and the goal of this product.
Comparative Analysis
One of the key steps before ideation is comparative analysis. It helps us understand better about the currant market and major players.
Ideation & Initial Design
We started with grouping our users into three major categories: browser/starter, blogger, expert. The initial design is focused on creating the user flow for browser/starter with simple and straightforward features.
Iterate & Test
The next step is running user test with the initial designs and collect feedback, which would help us iterate and finalize the design.

Once upon a time there were two locusts. One was solitary. It liked to mope by itself and shunned the company of other locusts, even its own extended family. It was bitter, because of some perceived slight in the past
The second locust, by contrast, was gregarious. It was the life and soul of the party. You can bet that if a swarm was gathering, this locust would be in the thick of it.
Do you remember that old Rolf Harris hit, Two Little Boys? Well, what took place with these two locusts was very similar to the story told in that song. What seems so unfair is that, because they were locusts, no one ever thought to grant them such musical immortality. It's a shame.

How To Setup and Use Anyswap¶
If you are using MetaMask, be aware that unless you are using Ethereum Anyswap exchange, you will need to add a custom RPC for the network that you wish to use. When you click on the network you wish to use in the exchange (Fusion, Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, or Fantom), if you have the incorrect network selected in your MetaMask, there will be a pop-up window telling you what the correct network settings have to be for your desired exchange.
How to setup Anyswap on the Fusion Network¶
For the Fusion network, the correct network settings are :-
- Can I use my Trustwallet, or other Ethereum wallet to connect to Anyswap?
- For Anyswap on the Fusion network, the addresses are the same on they are on Ethereum - but the chain ID is different. This means that you can use an Ethereum wallet. You can either connect to it using a Ledger, or MetaMask (BUT with a new RPC setting - see above). You will of course NOT see your ethereum assets, but only your Fusion assets.
- How can I send FSN to my wallet and what wallet address should I use?
- You can send FSN to your Fusion public address of your wallet. Make sure that they are native FSN, since a few exchanges (e.g. IDEX) still have some ERC20 FSN. These will not appear in your Fusion wallet if you send them there, but you will see them if you switch to the Ethereum network. You will not lose them if you sent the wrong type of FSN to a wallet.
- Which exchanges support native FSN?
- Most exchanges now support native FSN and the ERC20 version of FSN will be phased out soon. You can see which exchanges suport which FSN at fusion token
- I have bridged my assets onto the platform, but I can’t unlock them.
- Unlocking requires a little FSN gas. If you have just bridged an asset to the platform, you will have enough gas airdropped to you to cover the first unlocking.
- When I try to connect to my Ledger, I just see ‘Loading…’ but nothing happens.
- It is stuck. Please disconnect your Ledger, hit F5 to refresh the screen and then re-connect your Ledger and try again. You might have to do this a couple of times. In general do not refresh the screen when your Ledger is connected.
- My transaction keeps showing as ‘pending’ in MetaMask and I can’t stop it.
- There is a useful guide to stop and free up the pending transaction using Node Networks clear pending transaction YouTube It involves sending a little extra gas to the nonce of the offending transaction.
- I’ve done everything, but I still can’t connect to my wallet.
- You can check that you have set up your MetaMask properly, or that your Ledger works by creating a new Fusion wallet using whallet.net and connecting anyswap to this. If this doesn’t work, then your problem is not related to Anyswap. Please try this. If you are using a ledger then ensure that you have updated the firmware using Ledger Live and that Display is set to NO and Contract Data is set to YES. If you are using MetaMask, then check the network settings - that you are using the custom Fusion RPC settings.
How to setup Anyswap on the Binance Smart Chain Network¶
- How do I connect to the Binance Smart Chain Network?
A. If you have already been using another BSC dapp like Burgerswap, For.Tube, Tunaswap or Bakery, then Anyswap will connect automatically. You need MetaMask and a Ledger. Go to ‘Networks’ at the top of MetaMask, select ‘Custom RPC’ and apply the settings below :-
You should then click on Connect with Hardware Device and then Ledger. You should then see your wallet balances on the Binance Smart Chain. If you did not set the correct network settings when you connect to Ledger, you will see a screen like this:-
Just follow the instructions to set up the network.
- I have set up my connection to Binance Smart Chain but cannot see my wallet balances
- You might try to use a different BNC RPC Endpoint in the Network Configuration.
- Which type of BNB should I use?
- If you are transferring tokens from Binance central exchange with the Withdraw function, you will need to make sure that you select the BEP20 type of token.
How to setup Anyswap on the Fantom Network¶
- How do I connect to the Fantom Network?
- You need to create a custom network in your MetaMask. At the top click of MetaMask where you see the current network (e.g. Ethereum) and then select ‘Custom RPC’ and enter the details as below :-
- Does Fantom Anyswap use Opera or ERC20 FTM?
- It uses native Opera FTM.
- How do I get FTM from Binance to Anyswap?
- You can withdraw them as ERC20 FTM to your wallet and then use pwawallet.fantom.network to convert them to Opera. If you then connect to this wallet address in the Anyswap exchange, you will see your FTM.
- Can I use Ledger on the Fantom Anyswap exchange?
- Yes you can. You can either connect with MetaMask, or with Ledger. Please be aware that pwawallet does not yet support Ledger.
How to setup on the Ethereum Network¶
- How do I connect to the Ethereum Anyswap?
- This is very straighforward. You can either connect with Ledger or MetaMask. You simply use the default network setting in MetaMask, which is Ethereum Mainnet. You will see your assets appearing then.
- How do I claim my liquidity provision rewards?
- These will appear in your wallet on the Fusion Anyswap exchange. Details on how to connect to Fusion Anyswap can be found in the wiki here under ‘How to setup Anyswap on the Fusion Network’. You can bridge your ANY to the Ethereum Anyswap. The reason they are paid to the Fusion wallet is that gas costs on Fusion are a tiny fraction of the gas costs on Ethereum.
Other Questions about setting up Anyswap¶
- Do I need gas on Anyswap?
- Yes. On the Fusion exchange you will need a little FSN and on the Binance Smart Chain exchange, you will need a little BNB-BEP20
- Does MetaMask work with the Brave browser?
- Brave has its own version of MetaMask, so you will have to switch to the official version in the settings menu. Alternatively you can use another browser.
- What app do I select in my Ledger?
- Use the Ethereum app. It is fully compatible with the Fusion blockchain.
- Why does my Ledger show the transaction in ETH and not FSN, FTM or BNB?
- This is because the Ledger does not know which blockchain it is on - it defaults to ETH, but this is not a problem in reality. Perhaps it will show the correct currency in a future version.
- Using Ledger to connect a wallet, I cannot find my Derivation path
- Please click on the ‘Ledger Live’ tab next to the ‘Legacy tab. The correct address should be the top one.
- Can I send my ANY to an exchange or to another wallet?
- Yes, simply send them to the public address of another Fusion wallet. Currently hotbit.io trades ANY-USDT and ANY-BTC and you can send ANY or FSN to their deposit address and withdraw to your Fusion wallet.
How to use Anyswap¶
The YouTube videos are a convenient way to learn how to use Anyswap. That is a good place to start (see the link on the left of your screen).
- How do I swap from one asset to another?
- How do I set slippage?
- How do I add liquidity?
- How do I remove liquidity?
- How do I bridge new coins onto Anyswap from their native chains?
- How do I remove coins/tokens back to their native chains?
- How do I bridge coins between the different blockchains on Anyswap?
- If you click on Bridge, you will see your assets (e.g. ANY-FRC20 or ANY-BNB etc.) and you can simply select how many you want to send to the other network. The icon on the right hand side, if clicked, will show the progress of the bridging operation, which takes a few minutes.
- Should I change the gas costs?
- On the Fusion network, you do not need to do anything. On the Binance Smart Chain, or Fantom networks, it is worth altering the gas cost. Do this by going to Settings> Advance> Advanced Gas Controls ON. When you make a transaction now, you will see the gas cost and you can change this to an appropriate setting 24 gwei seems to work well at the moment for BSC, and 1 gwei for FTM and FSN (18/11/2020).
How to know which pool to enter?¶
You can use the Anyswap bot to tell you what APY you can expect. Choose pairs that maintain a fairly constant price ratio to avoid Impermanent Loss and high volatility and volume to Total Value Locked ratio to get maximum volume rewards. Keep an eye on announcements for special reward promotions.
How does the Anyswap bot work?¶
Many thanks to Ahmed @ahmed6174 for this amazing bot! You can simply enter commands in the Anyswap Official Telegram Channel like this :-
# /mc (tokenomics of ANY)
# /vol (24 hour volume of top pools)
# /vol all (24 hour volume of all pools)
# /vol fsneth (24 hour volume for one pair, with a time breakdown too)
# /tvl (Total Value Locked into pools)
# /apy (Annual Percentage Yield of each top pool - varies a LOT)
# /apy all (same as above but for all pools)
# /apy bnbany (same, but for one pair, with a time breakdown too)
You can access to bot from any other Telegram channel like this :- /apy@Anyswapbot etc.

Mr. Nice Guy (1998)
Director: Sammo Hung Cast: Jackie Chan, Richard Norton, Miki Lee, Karen McLymont, Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, Vince Poletto Screenplay: Fibe Ma, Edward Tang Producers: Leonard Ho Runtime: 94 min. US Distribution: New Line Cinema Rated PG-13: action violence, minor sensuality and drug use
By Nathaniel R. Atcheson<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I'll sleep soundly under the assumption that most people reading this review won't be too upset if I fail to criticize Mr. Nice Guy because of it's hackneyed, overdone story, or because of the lack of convincing acting, or because the entire film is a shameless excuse to show Jackie Chan do a lot of really nifty stunts.
Besides, to criticize the film on these points would be meaningless, because I imagine the makers of Mr. Nice Guy knew exactly what they were doing. I haven't seen a lot of Jackie Chan flicks, but it's clear to just about everyone that his films are goofy on purpose. A deep story and complex characters would probably take away from the entertaining and often hilarious action spectacle that Chan never fails to deliver.
But, since this is a review, I have to summarize the plot, despite its unimportance. Chan plays Jackie (I'm sure it's a coincidence that his character has the same first name), a cop-turned-chef.
Soon, Diana's struggle becomes clear: she is in possession of a video tape that will incriminate local drug dealer Giancarlo (Richard Norton), so they want it back.  It probably won't win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay next year, but the story serves the purpose film nicely.
Jackie Chan films are lots of fun, and that's because of Chan himself. He has such an energetic and likable screen presence that he not only demands attention, but he makes us laugh. It's such a rare combination talents that he has: he's so physically skilled, and yet in such good humor about himself and his films. And he's not a bad actor: most martial artists are either deadpan and boring (Steven Segal), or just not very talented (Jean Claude Van Damme). Chan's martial arts displays in his films never fail to amaze me.
But even Chan could be defeated by an unoriginal and boring script and execution. Thankfully, director Sammo Hung (who has a very funny cameo in the film as a nosy biker) has created a group of action sequences that are thrilling and visually impressive. The best in the film takes place in a factory (or so it's called), which is composed of a lot of concrete corridors and many blue doors. And the finale, involving a dump truck and a big house, is a lot of fun.
The performances fit the mood of the film. Norton does a good job hamming it up as the Bad Guy, always sneering and uttering his words in some strange accent.  I can't imagine that fans of Chan will be disappointed in this film. I've never been a huge fan of his, but the pleasant mood and sheer entertainment value of Mr. Nice Guy has ensured that I will make it a point to see all his films in the future.

From Skaffold¶
Before you begin¶
- Install Tilt
- If you’re new to Tilt try stepping through a Simple Tiltfile first.
Differences between Skaffold and Tilt¶
- Skaffold streams the logs for all services it started. We found one combined stream of all services difficult to use and understand for anything beyond the most simple apps. Tilt instead provides a UI right in your console to view all of your running services and other relevant errors in addition to the log view that Skaffold provides.
- Skaffold is configured with a static YAML config. Tilt is configured with a
Tiltfile
, written in a small subset of Python called Starlark.
Migrate from Skaffold to Tilt¶
Let’s take a relatively simple skaffold.yaml
file with two services:
apiVersion: skaffold/v1alpha5
kind: Config
build:
artifacts:
- image: gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/snack
context: snack
- image: gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/spoonerisms
context: spoonerisms
deploy:
kubectl:
manifests:
- deployments/snack.yaml
- deployments/spoonerisms.yaml
- Create a
Tiltfile
- Tell Tilt about your YAML
In Skaffold you specify your Kubernetes YAML under the manifests
key:
deploy:
kubectl:
manifests:
- deployments/snack.yaml
- deployments/spoonerisms.yaml
In Tilt we specify Kubernetes YAML with the k8s_yaml
function.
k8s_yaml(['deployments/snack.yaml', 'deployments/spoonerisms.yaml'])
- Tell Tilt about your Dockerfile
In Skaffold you specify the image tag you want to build and deploy:
build:
artifacts:
- image: gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/snack
context: snack
- image: gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/spoonerisms
context: spoonerisms
Similarly in Tilt you specify the image tag as well as the Docker build context ("."
in this case).
docker_build('gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/snack', 'snack')
docker_build('gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/spoonerisms', 'spoonerisms')
That’s it!¶
Now your Tiltfile should look like this:
k8s_yaml(['deployments/snack.yaml', 'deployments/spoonerisms.yaml'])
docker_build('gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/snack', 'snack')
docker_build('gcr.io/windmill-public-containers/servantes/spoonerisms', 'spoonerisms')
