Hi Filip,
I don't know smathlib, but as you said, it seems to be not maintained anymore.
Elisa is based on Gaol which is based on the IBM mathematical library,
so it also relies on
another external library.
I agree to not start a new implementation, it will be painfull. I
don't think that Gecode will
become LGPL if it links with a LGPL library. But users should have the
choice to not embed such a dependency.
I didn't find a mathematical library which fit all our needs (license,
multi platforms, small, reliable).
So I see no choice but to use an external dependency which will be
LGPL. Up to now, I retained two possibilities which
are MPFR or CRlibm. Maybe CRLibm is easier to build under windows than
MPFR? (I am not a Windows user so I have no feedback on this)
I also think that a build-option should be used to decide if
transcendental constraints must be included. But we still have
to provide a fully functional implementation of FloatVar, and to
achieve it, we must choose a library. I prefer a library
which works on Linux and Windows. I think it's up to Gecode
maintainers to decide which choice has to be made, I will follow
their conlusions. But in the meantime, I will continue to dig the
topic, so thank you very much for all your remarks and
advices :) If a Windows user has ever used an exact mathematical
library, feel free to share your comments.
Best,
Vincent

A Page About My STEM Fair Project
The S.T.E.M Part Of Our Website Is Mostly Engineering And Tech Because Of What We Are Doing Which Is Building A Robotic Arm. We Will Be Using Coding, Soldering And Circuit Building. By Using Potentiometers, Servo Motors, Bread Boards And The Arduino Uno, We Will Create A Fully Fuctional Robotic Arm.
We encountered some problems when we tried to prototype the arm. We figured out that we had plugged the wires into the wrong terminal but when we noticed we fixed it. Another problem we encountered was when we used wire instead of thread for the first version of the hand, we soon fixed that aswell.
The main materials we used were an Arduino Uno, a breadboard, potentiometers/variable resistors, servo motors, wires, wood, plastic and thread. We used the Arduino for coding, the bradboard for connecting the wires, the potentiometers for controlling the voltage, servo motors for making the joints, the wires for making connections, the wood for making the structure, the plastic for making the claw and the thread for retracting the claw.

The Basics of the Web
How the Web Works
The World Wide Web is a collection of HTML documents. Types of files that can be found on the web
are plain text, HTML, Images, Videos and Music.The major pieces of the web are your computer & browser,
The Internet, HTTP, and servers.
A web page is a text document written in a language called HTML. Web browsers read these documents,
and then interpret and display them.
Coding happens when programmers write text in a language that a computer can understand. The
computer can then follow the instructions for example: the computer might do this by making text like
this: the results are real.
HTML
HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the main type of content and HTML documents are the heart
of the web. It is made up of text content, markup, and references to other documents.
Content is what you see; Markup is what the content looks like; and there are references to other documents.
Tags and Elements
HTML markup is made up of tags like what is being used to
italicize . There is an open tag and a closing tag;
For example:
contents = bold. An HTML tag is always contain within angled brackets. Most tags have an
opening tag (..p..) and a closing tag (../p..).
Some tags (called "void" tags) do not require a closing tag (like the ..br.. tag). An HTML element refers to
everything within a set of opening and closing tags. Span and div tags are normal elements used to contain
their content. The difference is that Span is inline and div is block. You can attach styles to them to help
with the display of your document
An Attribute is a property of an HTML element. For example, to set the href attribute of an anchor tag to
the Udacity URL, you would write ..a.. with the ../a.. closing tag
href="www.udacity.com"
CSS
CSS controls the "style" of a page. When programmers talk about the DOM they are talking about the
tree-like structure of a page. The style is the basically the way that you want your web to look. Like
almost everything that exists there are applied rules to every element and repetition is one that should
be avoided in all programming; the most applied rule applies to your document.
Avoiding repetition can by acheived by using HTML classes and CSS style can help you avoid repetition.
Repetition will result in the need to copy the same code over and over again. If a change in the code is
needed every instance of the same code will have to be updated. This can lead to errors in the code.
The benefits of no repetition is a nice clean code and if changes are needed they only have to be done once.
Creating a Structure Document with HTML
Developer Tools for HTML elements are either inline or block. Block elements form an invisible box
around the content inside of them.
The tree-like structure of HTML comes from the fact that HTML elements can have other elements inside
of them. The relationship is like a family tree. the structure shows up as a series of nested boxs inside a
browser, showing boxes inside of boxes. The relationshiop between indented HTML and Boxes
When you read an HTML document as text, you see a wave of changing indentations going up and down
the left side of the document. The more indented an element is, the more deeply nested it 's corresponding box.

This is not an official Boost library yet. It is prepared for a formal review and therefore contains information stating it is a part of Boost, but it has not yet been formally reviewed nor accepted. |
The Boost Constrained Value library contains class templates useful for creating constrained objects. A simple example is an object representing an hour of a day, for which only integers from the range [0, 23] are valid values:
bounded_int<int, 0, 23>::type hour; hour = 20; // OK hour = 26; // exception!
Behavior in case of assignment of an invalid value can be customized. For instance, instead of throwing an exception as in the example above, the value may be adjusted to meet the constraint:
wrapping_int<int, 0, 255>::type buffer_index; buffer_index = 257; // OK: adjusts the value to fit in the range by wrapping it assert( buffer_index == 1 );
The library doesn't focus only on bounded objects as in the examples above -- virtually any constraint can be imposed by using a predicate:
// constraint (a predicate) struct is_odd { bool operator () (int i) const { return (i % 2) != 0; } }; // and the usage is as simple as: constrained<int, is_odd> odd_int = 1; odd_int += 2; // OK ++odd_int; // exception!
The library has a policy-based design to allow for flexibility in defining constraints and behavior in case of assignment of invalid values. Policies may be configured at compile-time for maximum efficiency or may be changeable at runtime if such dynamic functionality is needed.

You hand the librarian the quarter you found in the copier.
I thought about keeping it, you say. Giving it back felt like the good thing to do though, maybe someone else can use it. The librarian thanks you.
"You've done me a real solid. Someone wanted to make some copies just now and they were short. They are still here, I'm going to go get them, they will be so happy."
 As she heads off you catch a glimpse of her nametag, Jessica.
Guess you are a friend of Jessica now, for whatever that is worth.

Myleene Klass's baby is already a trendsetter in Vans and he joins mum at work
Myleene Klass only gave birth to her baby son Apollo three months ago, but she’s already making her way back to work.
The little one had the pleasure of joining his mum to the office, as she was pictured making her way through London to the Smooth Radio studios.
Snuggled up in a leopard print sling, the tot could be seen peering over the wrap as he looked up at the singer.

Our hearts are well and truly melted.
Myleene was just as stylish as the tot, as she paired a black fedora and oversized sunglasses with a long duffle coat.
After smiling at the cameras, the 41-year-old later revealed she had met up with Robbie Williams for a catch-up.
Advertisement Advertisement
Taking to Instagram, the star shared a selfie with the Angels hitmaker to her 305,000 followers on Instagram.
Alongside the snap, she wrote: ‘Just played this lovely ones new Xmas song on @smoothradio. (Interview on the way) @robbiewilliams.’
Her bambino wasn’t in sight, but we’re sure he enjoyed listening to the song.
Myleene gave birth to Apollo just three months ago and confirmed the news on her Instagram.
Sharing an adorable snap of her holding his hand, she simply wrote: ‘1.08.19’.
The star already has two daughters Ava and Hero from her previous relationship, however, this is her first baby with partner Simon Motson.
She recently spoke about her new man, who she jokingly dubbed her ‘best friend with benefits’.
‘He makes me laugh, he’s funny, he’s kind, he’s super-intelligent, he’s super-gorgeous. We’re best friends who f**k!’ she told Fabulous magazine.

I was playing with
Mono Rail framework after my
first look at it.
I always remember MonoRail after I need to do tricky parts in WebForms. Sometimes I'm just struggling with WebForms, fighting against it... There's so much pain if it is needed to do something "unusual" in WebForms, but usual and common for WEB.
What can I mention about Monorail now, since that time.
- It's powerful thing.
- It's very pluggable and expandable.
- It's testable.
- It's controllable.
- It's cool!
Now, what does prevent me from using MonoRail. I think it is only one thing - 3-rd party controls. I already own
Telerik Web Controls Suite and don't want to loose it.
On the other hand there're plenty client-side libraries to do most of that stuff. Such as
ExtJS.
But in most cases it will be needed to write some helpers to work with them server-side. Not a big time consumer, but it needs to be done (lazy devs don't like to do it).
I don't think I'll move away from WebForms in my current projects.
But new projects will be considered to be implemented with MVC and without WebForms.
Also it seems like Microsoft just steals (is this a right word?) Castle Project's implementation of MVC. Have a look at
MS MVC Presentation.
The license of MR allows to reproduce it, but it's not very honest from MS side (as always :))...
I'm only looking forward they will support it in some "native" way for ASP.NET...
And I really, really, really want MonoRail and MS MVC would not become competitors. I would like them to see as contributors to the same MVC idea.
And one more notice about Castle Project. I got source code from their SVN repository and it is very good structured, easy to read and understand. There're set of unit tests that I can easily use to find how to use particular feature. They also try to do as many comments as possible. Good job!
OSS Project contributors are great people. Will I have a chance to become such one sometime?
Will you or maybe you already are?

The first version of the Squadron Sinister is formed by the Elder of the Universe known as the Grandmaster as pawns to battle the champions of the time-traveling Kang the Conqueror, the superhero team the Avengers. The Grandmaster creates four villains — Doctor Spectrum, Hyperion, Nighthawk and the Whizzer to face heroes Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Goliath (Clint Barton). In interviews, Thomas and Jerry Bails have stated that the Squadron was based on the DC Comics superhero team the Justice League of America.


The GenGlyph object allows you to easily display single lines of text without using a more complex GenText object. A GenGlyph can be thought of as a label in which you can display text but which offers no other functionality.
1 GenGlyph Features
2 GenGlyph Basics
3 Modifying a GenGlyph
Applications often display simple lines of text. Text might request the user to make a selection. Text can alert the user to a certain application condition. The GenGlyph offers a simple, easy to use text display object.
One other generic object, GenText, provides a powerful means to display text with functions such as word-wrapping, font scalability, and an arbitrarily large buffer size. If you do not need such a versatile and powerful text display capability, however, it is wiser and easier to use a GenGlyph. This object only displays text in the default font and style for your application.
The GenGlyph object does not, by itself, offer any instance fields or messages. The functionality of a GenGlyph object is included entirely within the instance fields and messages of its superclass,
GenClass
.
Unlike text within a GenText, the text of a GenGlyph is taken solely from the object's
GI_visMoniker
. Therefore, the primary use of a GenGlyph lies in its visual moniker. Any
GenClass
messages dealing with an object's visual moniker will modify the appearance of a GenGlyph.
A GenGlyph does not allow word-wrapping; if your text may be longer than the object's horizontal constraints, either break up the lines of text into smaller, single-line GenGlyphs or use a GenText object.
Code Display 6-1 Using Hints to Manage GenGlyphs
/* This code will duplicate the display shown above */
@object GenInteractionClass DiskCopyBox = { GI_comp = @DiskCopyHeader, @SourceSelection, @DestinationSelection; GII_visibility = GIV_DIALOG; HINT_ORIENT_CHILDREN_VERTICALLY; }
/* The DiskCopyHeader will be the line of instructional text. */
@object GenGlyphClass DiskCopyHeader = { GI_visMoniker = "Select source and destination for disk copy:"; HINT_CENTER_MONIKER; /* Centers the moniker horizontally. */ }
/* These objects will form the "Source" line. */
@object GenInteractionClass SourceSelection = { GI_comp = @SourceText, @SourceList; HINT_ORIENT_CHILDREN_HORIZONTALLY; HINT_CENTER_MONIKER; }
/* This group of objects will form the "Destination" line. */
@object GenInteractionClass DestinationSelection = { GI_comp = @DestinationText, @DestinationList; HINT_ORIENT_CHILDREN_HORIZONTALLY; HINT_CENTER_MONIKER; }
/* For simplicity, the List objects are not shown. */
@object GenGlyphClass SourceText = { GI_visMoniker = "Source:"; }
@object GenGlyphClass DestinationText = { GI_visMoniker = "Destination:"; }
You may wish at some point to change the text in a GenGlyph. Because a GenGlyph's text is entirely within its visual moniker, it is a simple matter to use
GenClass
messages to change the moniker dynamically. Use
MSG_GEN_GET_VIS_MONIKER
to return a GenGlyph's current moniker; use
MSG_GEN_USE_VIS_MONIKER
(or
MSG_GEN_REPLACE_VIS_MONIKER
) to set a new moniker for a GenGlyph. Doing so will ensure that the object is visually rebuilt with the new moniker.
Code Display 6-2 A Toggle On/Off Switch Dialog Box
@object GenInteractionClass MyDialogBox = { GI_comp = @DialogText, @DialogButton; GII_visibility = GIV_DIALOG; }
/* Monikers for the Instructions (the GenGlyphs). */
@visMoniker OnTextMoniker = "Click the `ON' button"; @visMoniker OffTextMoniker = "Click the `OFF' button";
/* Monikers for the triggers. */
@visMoniker OnButtonMoniker = "ON"; @visMoniker OffButtonMoniker = "OFF";
/* The object begins in the "On" state. */
@object GenGlyphClass DialogText = { GI_vismoniker = @OnTextMoniker; }
/* Whenever the button is pressed, MSG_FLIP_THE_SWITCH will change both the glyph * and the trigger monikers. */
@object GenTriggerClass DialogButton = { GI_visMoniker = @OnButtonMoniker; GTI_actionMsg = MSG_FLIP_THE_SWITCH; GTI_destination = process; }
@method MyProcessClass, MSG_FLIP_THE_SWITCH { ChunkHandle testMoniker; /* Stores the temporary moniker. */
testMoniker = @call DialogButton::MSG_GEN_GET_VIS_MONIKER;
/* If the moniker is "ON", turn both it and the glyph to the Off monikers. * Otherwise (the moniker is "OFF"), turn both it and the glyph to the On * monikers. Both visual updates are delayed via the UI queue (and will therefore * be updated at the same time rather than separately) to avoid flashing. */
if (testMoniker == "ON") { @call DialogButton::MSG_GEN_USE_VIS_MONIKER(OptrToChunk(@OffButtonMoniker), VUM_DELAYED_VIA_UI_QUEUE); @call DialogText::MSG_GEN_USE_VIS_MONIKER(OptrToChunk(@OffTextMoniker), VUM_DELAYED_VIA_UI_QUEUE); } else { @call DialogButton::MSG_GEN_USE_VIS_MONIKER(OptrToChunk(@OnButtonMoniker), VUM_DELAYED_VIA_UI_QUEUE); @call DialogText::MSG_GEN_USE_VIS_MONIKER(OptrToChunk(@OnTextMoniker), VUM_DELAYED_VIA_UI_QUEUE); }

Syllabus
RENO, ATTORNEY GENERAL, et al. v. AMERICAN-ARAB ANTI-DISCRIMINATION COMMITTEE et al.
Respondent resident aliens filed this suit, claiming that petitioners, the Attorney General and other federal parties, targeted them for deportation because of their affiliation with a politically unpopular group, in violation of their First and Fifth Amendment rights. After the District Court preliminarily enjoined the proceedings against respondents, but while an appeal by the Attorney General was pending, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), which, inter alia, repealed the old judicial-review scheme in the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U. S. C. §1105a, and instituted a new provision, 8 U. S. C. §1252(g), which restricts judicial review of the Attorney Generals decision or action to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders against any alien under this Act [e]xcept as provided in this section. The Attorney General filed motions in both the District Court and the Ninth Circuit, arguing that §1252(g) deprived them of jurisdiction over respondents selective-enforcement claim. The District Court denied the motion. The Ninth Circuit, consolidating an appeal from that denial with the pending appeal, upheld jurisdiction and affirmed the District Courts decision on the merits.
Held:<unicode value="8194"> Section 1252(g) deprives the federal courts of jurisdiction over respondents suit. Pp. 521.
(a) Although IIRIRA §309(c)(1)s general rule is that the revised procedures for removing aliens, including §1252s judicial-review procedures, do not apply in exclusion or deportation proceedings pending on IIRIRAs effective date, IIRIRA §306(c)(1) directs that a single provision, §1252(g), shall apply without limitation to claims arising from all past, pending, or future exclusion, deportation, or removal proceedings. Section 1252(g) applies to three discrete actions that the Attorney General may take: her decision or action to commence proceedings, adjudicate cases, or execute removal orders. (Emphasis added.) The provision seems designed to give some measure of protection to such discretionary determinations, providing that if they are reviewable at all, they at least will not be made the bases for separate rounds of judicial intervention outside the streamlined process designed by Congress. Respondents challenge to the Attorney Generals decision to commence proceedings against them falls squarely within §1252(g), and §1252 does not otherwise provide jurisdiction. Pp. 517.
(b) The doctrine of constitutional doubt does not require that §1252(g) be interpreted in such fashion as to permit immediate review of respondents selective-enforcement claims. An alien unlawfully in this country has no constitutional right to assert such a claim as a defense against his deportation. Pp. 1721.
119 F. 3d 1367, vacated and remanded.

From Polish director Yurek Bogayevicz and writer Agnieszka Holland comes this film featuring a powerhouse performance by actress Sally Kirkland in several scenes of deep psychological intensity. Although the plot, which resembles the story of Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1950 classic ALL ABOUT EVE, leaves much to be desired, Sally Kirkland certainly deserves recognition for her superb acting in what is perhaps the best female lead role so far this year.
Anna (played by Sally Kirkland) used to be a well-known and successful actress in her native Czechoslovakia before she was permanently exiled for her outspokenness against the 1968 Soviet invasion. The loss of her family, homeland, youthful beauty, and career in rapid succession took its emotional toll, leaving Anna ill-prepared to cope with her fall from great stardom to relative obscurity as another unknown hopeful actress in New York.
The only bright spot in her life comes from the persona of Krystyna (played by the beautiful fashion model Paulina Porizkova), a young Czechoslovakian woman who immigrates to the US to meet Anna, her star and idol. Touched by Krystyna's innocence and naivete, Anna takes Krystyna under her wing and helps Krystyna adjust to life in America, both as a foreigner and struggling actress.
It is when the film concentrates on Anna and Krystyna that it is at its best. One scene in particular, where Anna movingly recounts the loss of her baby due to harsh prison conditions in Czechoslovakia, stands out as being extremely effective. As Anna and Krystyna lie on their bed late at night, the camera slowly pans in one smooth movement from the bedroom door to focus on their faces. No sound except Anna's emotion-laden whisper is heard as she relates her life story. The lighting is unobtrusively low-key. Anna and Krystyna lie almost motionless throughout the scene, with the reverie finally being broken as Krystyna stirs. This scene integrates the power of the spoken word with the language of cinema so well that it achieves an Ingmar Bergmanesque quality rarely seen in recent films. The initial relationship between Anna and Krystyna is the highlight of the film.
That period of deep friendship lasts until Krystyna borrows her most intimate sorrows during a talk show interview. Anna, feeling betrayed and outraged, throws out Krystyna and her belongings from her apartment. Krystyna continues to advance in her acting career while Anna falls deeper into a mental morass, losing her job (as an understudy for an Off-Off-Broadway production) as well as her occasional lover Daniel (played by Robert Fields), who leaves her for Krystyna's glamorous beauty. Anna's mind snaps under the strain, leading to the climax of the film.
The full potential of the narrative premise outlined above is undermined, however, by heavy-handed efforts to explain Anna's mental collapse. In the course of 100 minutes, the film encompasses issues of divorce, betrayal, attempted murder, a stillborn birth, cutoff from childhood roots, failure in one's lifetime dreams and aspirations, and a few others thrown in for good measure. Each one is individually believable and treated well, but as each one is introduced the narrative increasingly resembles the histrionic plotline common to soap operas. Every single character in this film is so laden with problems that initial sympathy for them simply withers away as the film progresses, despite the autobiographical elements of Holland's script (see below). The best that can be said for the ending is that at least it avoids an easy or "happy" resolution, which would have made the film downright ludicrous.
To make matters worse, director Bogayevicz employs well-worn cliches, such as sudden rainfalls and the melt-down of film celluloid (with Anna's picture being burned, no less), as well as visual punctuation to drive home Anna's psychological despair. At one point, even an elevator Anna is using is shown from above as it descends into the darkness far below. The striking intensity of the film's opening moments dissipates as the film progresses, leaving a feeling of squandered opportunity. Bogayevicz's prior experience with theater shows through, but it is mostly out of place in this film. The scenes that take place on a theater stage are directed well, but Bogayevicz's overall visual style exacerbates an already overbearing script, rather than smoothing over the film's rougher moments.
And Paulina Porizkova is disappointing as well. Her role itself basically is one of standing prettily while the camera focuses on her, much like her previous job as fashion model. Even the film she is shown making as Krystyna near the end of ANNA is one where she walks around on a beach in a bikini. Instead of solidly presenting her acting talents, her film debut prevents judgement either way as to whether or not she will fail as an actress like so many fashion models before her. Better roles than this one must come in order to demonstrate whatever abilities she may possess.
ANNA is the first film by Bogayevicz and Holland together, and it shows promise for their efforts in the future, as the film does have occasional moments of vision that shine through. For now, Sally Kirkland's performance is the most notable attraction in this film, especially in a scene near the beginning when the anguish in her face at having to prove herself yet once again to another casting director's assistant is palpable and unmistakable. The strength of Sally Kirkland's performance apparent in this and many other scenes never falters throughout the course of the film. Her work over the past 25 years has failed to gain public recognition, despite roles opposite Robert Redford in THE STING, Gene Hackman in BITE THE BULLET, and Barbra Streisand in THE WAY WE WERE and A STAR IS BORN, as well as theater work with Andy Warhol, Tom O'Horgan, and Robert DeNiro. Her lead performance in ANNA would be one of the few truly-deserved Best Actress nominations in recent years.
Previous work of Yurek Bogayevicz and Agnieszka Holland:
As noted above, this is Bogayevicz's debut as film director. Having enrolled at the acclaimed Academy of Theatre Arts in Warsaw, he worked in Polish theater for many years. Upon moving to the United States and eventually settling in Los Angeles, his work as producer and director of Bertold Brecht's "The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui" won many major Los Angeles theater critics awards, including being named Director of the Year by The Los Angeles Times and Dramalogue.
Agnieszka Holland was also born in Poland. She studied film in Prague with Milos Forman and Ivan Passer. Returning to Poland in 1972 after being imprisoned by Czech authorities in 1970 during the aftermath of the Soviet invasion, she directed many films including STORY OF A BOMB (winner of the 1981 Gdansk Film Festival), A LONLEY WOMAN, and ANGRY HARVEST, which was nominated for the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 1985. She has also collaborated with noted director Andrzej Wadja on numerous screenplays. She is currently directing TO KILL A PRIEST starring Ed Harris as the Reverend Jerzy Popieluszko, a popular pro-Solidarity priest who was murdered in Poland in 1984. It will be released by Columbia Pictures next year.

Your Summary


Write the code that reads 2 numbers from the keyboard, a and b. As an output, it shows the mean of all numbers that lie on the interval between a and b, and can be divided by 3.
What does it mean? In the example, you are to calculate the mean of the numbers in the range \( [-5; 12] \)
The numbers divided by 3 without the remainder are: \( -3, 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 \). There are six of them, and the mean is 4.5.
The input interval always contains at least one dividend of 3. Remember to include the values of a and b in your calculations.


I have recently started using BBlog after trying a few other Userscripts and add-ons, and I must say, it's an impressive piece of kit. It does almost everything the others do, and better in many cases. However I find myself missing one thing. The userscript "http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125532" added a max ping filter to the server filter. I personally found this very useful and I would like to see it in BBlog. Then, I would only need one add-on for all my Battlelog needs.
I've searched through the forum and haven't found mention of it, so if it's been asked before I apologise. Thanks to all the developers, and keep up the good work!

Usually they are Golden Retrievers or Labradors. Assistance dogs will be desexed. The dog will have identification indicating that it is an assistance dog and the disability that it is being , or has been trained , to assist. PTSD Assistance Dogs are placed with people living with post-traumatic stress disorder. PTSD Assistance Dogs are trained to work with the very individual and specfic needs of their owner.
A PTSD Assistance Dog can master cues to help their owner overcome psychological trauma linked to specific situations.
• Standing in front of their owner offering a barrier and space.
• Positioning itself behind their owner, to ease hyperawareness, the feeling of being constantly on edge.
• Diverting their owner’s attention to the dog, to bring their owner back to the present moment.
• Providing continuous companionship and a sense of routine.
–Do you Know?
1. What you want the dog to do for you?
There are many tasks a can do, but there are many things they cannot.
2. Are you ready for increased public attention?
You will draw attention to yourself and your disability with an assistance dog.
3. Can you handle confrontation?
Even if your dog is fully accreditated, some people will deny you access to places you have every right to entre.
4. Are you ready for a long-term (ten to fifteen years) committment that comes with Assistance Dog ownership?
5. Do you have the time and patience to work with an assistance dog both initially in the partnership and commit to ongoing training during the dog's life?
6. An assistance dog is a big responsibility: You will be leagally responsible for the behaviour of your dog at all times.
PTSD Assistance Dogs must be trained to aliveate your disability. You must get a recommendation and detailed report from your Doctors as to the nature of your disability and explainhow an Assistance Dog can help to alleviate the effect of your disability. (this is required by law) To meet the Disability Discrimination Act’s requirements evidence is required that the Assistance Dog is trained to meet the standards of hygiene and behaviour.
You are required to provide a signed statement or
documentation from a recognized training body that
your dog is being, or has been trained, as an assistance
animal and a signed statement from you and the training
body that the animal is being used as an assistance animal.


Fought in County Monaghan in March 1595 during the Nine Years War between the Crown forces of England's Queen Elizabeth I and the Irish army of Hugh O'Neill, 2nd Earl of Tyrone. The battle ended in victory for Lord Tyrone, and was the first severe setback suffered by the English during the war. Tyrone's army - about 4,000 strong - consisted of contingents from the O'Neill, MacMahon and Maguire clans, as well as Scottish mercenaries. The Irish also deployed a greatly enlarged force of cavalry and caliver-men. To Bagenal's puzzlement, the caliver-men were turned out in red coats and acquitted themselves with expertise. Fire from the flanks was heavy, and many English troops were killed or fell wounded. Tyrone himself was almost killed by a Palesman named Seagrave, who led a cavalry charge on the Irish position. Seagrave had his arm chopped off by Tyrone's standard bearer O'Cahan, and was killed by Tyrone with a dagger thrust to the groin.
The Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 17 May 1974 were a series of co-ordinated bombings in Dublin and Monaghan, Ireland. Three bombs exploded in Dublin during rush hour and a fourth exploded in Monaghan almost ninety minutes later. They killed 33 civilians and a full-term unborn child, and injured almost 300. The bombings were the deadliest attack of the conflict known as the Troubles, and the deadliest attack in the Republic's history.Most of the victims were young women, although the ages of the dead ranged from five months to 80 years. The Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF), a loyalist paramilitary group from Northern Ireland, claimed responsibility for the bombings in 1993.
Patrick Kavanagh (21 October 1904 – 30 November 1967) was an Irish poet and novelist. His best-known works include the novel Tarry Flynn, and the poems "On Raglan Road" and "The Great Hunger". He is known for his accounts of Irish life through reference to the everyday and commonplace. Patrick Kavanagh was born in rural Inniskeen, County Monaghan, in 1904.The Patrick Kavanagh Centre is located in Inniskeen, County Monaghan, Ireland. It is set up to commemorate the poet Patrick Kavanagh who is regarded as one of the foremost Irish poets of the 20th century. The month of November marks 50 years since Patrick Kavanagh’s passing.
The Leslie Family can trace its ancestry back to Atilla the Hun. The first Leslie came from Scotland and was a Hungarian nobleman called Bartholomew Leslie. He was the chamberlain and protector of Margaret Queen of Scotland. The family motto ‘Grip Fast’ originated through him. While fleeing enemies Queen Margaret rode pillion on the back of Bartholomew's horse. When fording a river, the queen fell off and Bartholomew threw her the end of his belt and told her to grip fast the buckle. He saved the Queen's life & from that day onwards she bestowed the motto Grip Fast on the Leslies.
This is the Old Cross, which is actually an old seventeenth-century sundial, located in Old Cross Square, Monaghan Town. The Old Cross is one of the oldest monuments in the town of Monaghan. The Old Cross, located in Old Cross Square, dates from the seventeenth century.

3,000 children die every day globally due to contaminated drinking water
In 2000, agriculture accounted for 75% of global water use. In 2015 it will be 66%.
Reducing agricuture water use by 10% would make a massive difference. Reducing it by 50% would cover all other sectors.
Virtual water trade refers to the hidden flow of water if food or other commodities are traded from one place to another. Knowing the true water cost is essential. Here you can see the virtual water cost for various product for your region, Sweden, the EU and the global averages.
Virtual Water Cost:
Milk (1 liter)
Hamburger
Jeans
Tomato
- Sweden,
1.2 l - EU,
1.0 l - Global,
2.6 l
Best local companies in Sweden, liters per year
- Arla, 1200 l
- Valio, 1600 l
- Fjällko, 2000 l
Water types
Here the various water types and the cost in water consumption for producing certain goods is listed.
- Blue water
- Fresh surface and groundwater, in other words, the water in freshwater lakes, rivers and aquifers
- Green water
- The precipitation on land that does not run off or recharge the groundwater but is stored in the soil or temporarily stays on top of the soil or vegetation. Eventually, this part of precipitation evaporates or transpires through plants. Green water can be made productive for crop growth (although not all green water can be taken up by crops, because there will always be evaporation from the soil and because not all periods of the year or areas are suitable for crop growth).
- Grey water footprint
- The grey water footprint of a product is an indicator of freshwater pollution that can be associated with the production of a product over its full supply chain. It is defined as the volume of freshwater that is required to assimilate the load of pollutants based on natural background concentrations and existing ambient water quality standards. It is calculated as the volume of water that is required to dilute pollutants to such an extent that the quality of the water remains above agreed water quality standards.
Taken from the Water Foot print glossary.
Average water needed for various products
- A hamburger: 2 400 liters
- One kilogram of beef: 16 000 liters
- One kilogram of wheat: 1 200 liters

We have a population of around 1.2 billion and it is just a matter of time, that we will be the nation with the most number of young and technically sound work forces. Technology has grown in many forms and can be made accessible almost to all. It is just a luxury for some but can ease the life of many and can be the key to solving some of the most pressing issues faced by the country today. We just need some ideas and tinkering to apply it on the field.
An example, detecting and diagnosing diseases is a very time-consuming and expensive affair, almost unavailable in remote areas. An interesting fact - Today, smartphones have a better reach than basic healthcare facilities! Last year a student team developed a low-cost smartphone operated microscope, to detect malaria, though not accurately but the results were convincing enough to improve upon and take it further.
It is only by solving such basic problems that development will occur collectively in every community and not selectively. Dhiti(sanskrit for “An idea”) is a platform for passionate individuals who ideate and aspire for technology to reach the grassroots. Here we will provide you with problems and mentors to form feasible solutions to various issues and provide recognition to your solution. So, let’s put our ideas and knowledge bases to some real use.
A few points to take note of while designing solutions -
Any student, irrespective of his/her course or stream, who has registered for Apogee 2016 can participate in the event.
Registrations for Dhiti have started. The participant can register by filling the form at the Register button on top. He/she will also have to register for Apogee 2016 (visit http://www.bits-apogee.org ).
Yes. Dhiti is open to students of all disciplines, pursuing any degree. Graduates, Post-graduates, Diploma students, PhD holders etc.
Sure. As already mentioned in the structure, participants are encouraged to work on problem statements identified by them. This will come under the Open Category.
Yes. As long as there is no compulsion or binding on part of the participant from the concerned competition, the solution may be presented for Dhiti.
It is not compulsory for the winners (or any other participant) to participate in the implementation (i.e. go to some place and get the idea implemented by yourself). The NGOs that are willing to implement the idea will do it themselves if you can't participate. But of course, your participation is encouraged and recommended. This might take the form of an internship based on the preferences of the organization and the students.
Mentorship will be given to the participants who clear the initial Idea Proposal phase. Mentorship will be given in two forms: During the mentorship phase, the selected participants are encouraged to contact the concerned NGOs for in-depth knowledge about the problems faced by them. Similarly, for any technical guidance, they may contact their mentor. Participants can also contact through mails or direct visits to the NGOs. The contacts will be provided after the participants clear Phase I. Necessary support from the Dhiti team will always be available.
 Its way of implementation will be finalized with the help of the NGO's in the Implementation phase, with the necessary pilot runs.
No. The registration fees will be charged for Apogee only. There will not be separate registration fee for Dhiti.


International Olympic Committee supports four-year Russia ban
by FSA EditorWADA has banned Russia from sporting events after it was recommended RUSADA be declared non-compliant again, which the IOC supports.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has reiterated its support for Russia’s four-year ban from major international sporting events imposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
WADA declared the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) non-compliant again at a meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Monday over inconsistencies in anti-doping data discovered during an investigation.
Athletes will not be able to compete under the Russian flag at the 2020 Olympics or the 2022 Winter Games, while Russia’s place at the World Cup in Qatar is also in jeopardy.
The IOC had supported the recommended sanction last month and retained its stance following the announcement.
“The representatives of the Olympic Movement today [Monday] supported this unanimous decision in the WADA Executive Committee, which is in line with the statement made by the IOC Executive Board [on November 26] and endorsed by the Olympic Summit,” a statement released to Omnisport read.
The IOC said in November it would “support the toughest sanctions against all those responsible for this manipulation”.
It added: “With regard to the sanctions following this manipulation, we will still have to evaluate these in detail.
“The IOC emphasises that any sanctions should follow the rules of natural justice and respect human rights.
“Therefore, the IOC stresses that the guilty should be punished in the toughest way possible because of the seriousness of this infringement and thus welcomes the sanctions for the Russian authorities responsible.”
WADA’s statement on Monday said: “The WADA Executive Committee has responded in the strongest possible terms, while protecting the rights of Russian athletes that can prove that they were not involved and did not benefit from these fraudulent acts.”

STARChip Manual¶
Introduction¶
This software was written in order to fulfill a perceived lack of tools that can identify, from RNA-Seq data, high confidence fusions and circular RNA. There are many other tools to discover fusions in RNA, and a handful of other tools to discover circular RNA. We have endeavored to create the lowest possible false-positive rate for fusion detection, while creating helpful and convenient output files. We’ve also emphasized the need for short running times in order to make this software useful for enormous data sets.
Installation¶
starchip was written to work in a *nix shell-like environment, using Bash, Perl, and R extensively. To use this on Windows, a shell emulator such as Cygwin is likely necessary. It will probably work in Mac OS, but this is untested and likely there will be formatting issues. At this point we will assume you are in a *nix shell: Within the directory you’d like the software installed:
git clone https://github.com/LosicLab/starchip.git
Please ensure that the files in starchip/ and starchip/scripts/*/ have execute permission:
chmod +x starchip/*sh
chmod +x starchip/*pl
chmod +x starchip/scripts/*/*sh
chmod +x starchip/scripts/*/*pl
That’s it! There are a number of software dependencies. These should be callable without a full path (ie they should be included in your $PATH) :
- Samtools (http://www.htslib.org/)
- Bedtools >= 2.24.0 (https://github.com/arq5x/bedtools2)
- Mafft (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/)
- R (https://www.r-project.org/ )
- R packages gplot, limma, edgeR (https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/limma.html)
- STAR (https://github.com/alexdobin/STAR)
Setup¶
STAR¶
starchip is written to be an extension of the STAR read aligner. It does not itself run STAR on your samples. Therefore to run starchip you must first run star on each of your samples. See the STAR documentation for installation, as well as building or downloading a STAR genome index. It is absolutely critical however, that you follow the STAR manual’s instructions and build a genome using all chromosomes plus unplaced contigs. Not doing so will strongly inflate your false positives rate, because reads that map perfectly to an unplaced contig will instead find the next best alignment, often a chimeric alignment. Run STAR with the following parameters required for chimeric output: –chimSegmentMin 15 –chimJunctionOverhangMin 15. Your project will have it’s own requirements, but a good starting point for your star alignments might look like:
STAR --genomeDir /path/to/starIndex/ --readFilesIn file1_1.fastq.gz file1_2.fastq.gz --runThreadN 11 --outReadsUnmapped Fastx --quantMode GeneCounts
--chimSegmentMin 15 --chimJunctionOverhangMin 15 --outSAMstrandField intronMotif --readFilesCommand zcat --outSAMtype BAM Unsorted
Reference/BED Files¶
STARChip makes use of gtf files for annotating fusions and cRNA with gene names. However, we require them in ucsc bed file format. We also require a bedtools .genome file to aid in sorting. These can automatically be generating from your gtf file using the command:
/starchip/scripts/setup/gtf2bed.sh /path/to/your/file.gtf /path/to/your/genome.fasta /path/to/desired/output/dir/
GTF and FASTA files can be downloaded from Ensembl, UCSC, gencode, refseq, and other online sources. It is recommended to use the same GTF and FASTA that your STAR index was built with.
starchip-fusions filters using the location of known repeats in bed format as well. This file will be large (~300MB for human), and can be downloaded from the UCSC table browser:
- Go to http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables
- Change ‘genome’ to your desired genome
- Change the following settings:
- group: Repeats
- track: RepeatMasker
- region: genome
- output format: BED
- output file: some reasonable name.bed
- Click ‘get output’ to download your bed file.
- On your local machine sort the bed file: sort -k1,1 -k2,2n repeats.bed > repeats.sorted.bed
starchip-fusions can also make use of known antibody parts, and copy number variants. These files come with starchip for human hg19 and hg38 in the reference directory. For other species you can create your own in the simple format:
Chromosome StartPosition EndPosition
Finally, starchip-fusions uses known gene families and known/common false-positive pairs to filter out fusions which are likely mapping errors or PCR artifacts. Family data can be downloaded from ensembl biomart:
- Go to http://www.ensembl.org/biomart/martview
- Database: Ensembl Genes
- Dataset: Your species
- Click Attributes on the left hand side.
- Under GENE dropdown, select only “Associated Gene Name”
- Under PROTEIN FAMILIES AND DOMAINS dropdown select Ensembl Protein Family ID.
- Click Results at the top.
- Export the file. It should have two columns, Family ID and Gene ID.
Known false positives are stored within data/pseudogenes.txt Feel free to put add any additional lines that result from your data to this file in the format
Gene1Name Gene2Name
Parameter Files¶
starchip-fusions and starchip-circles rely on parameter files to supply all the information to complete a successful run. Examples are given in the paramfiles directory, however you need to customize a parameter file for each run. Not doing so is akin to buying shoes without specifying what style or size of shoe you desire. All required and optional parameters are explained here. We recommend you copy an example parameter file to your working directory and edit it there. All parameter values are explained at the end of the manual.
Running STARChip¶
STARChip-Fusions¶

Complete Parameter Explanations¶
Fusions Parameter Files¶
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| pairedend | True/false : is your data paired end? |
| consensus | True/false : do you want a consensus sequence generated for your fusions? Should be true unless you cannot use mafft or samtools for some reason |
| splitReads | Integer. Number of minimum reads that cross fusion border. Can put ‘auto’ to have starchip make a best guess for your sample. |
| spancutoff | Integer. Number of minimum paired ends to map to opposite ends of a fusion without crossing the fusion site. Can put ‘auto’ to have starchip make a best guess for your sample. |
| uniqueReads | Integer. Number of minimum unique reads that cross fusion border. Useful for eliminating fusions whose support comes from a single PCR amplicon. |
| wiggle | Integer. Reads mapping to opposite ends of a fusion without crossing the fusion junction itself have ambiguous fusion site. Starchip looks for fusions within ‘wiggle’ bp of the ambiguous fusion site to share |
| overlapLimit | Integer. Fusions called less than overlapLimit bp from each other will be merged. |
| samechrom_wiggle | Integer. Intrachromosomal fusions must be at least this value apart to be reported. |
| lopsidedupper | Float. Starchip will filter out fusions that are imbalanced in the number of reads on one strand vs another. With unstranded RNA-seq, we expect roughly equal reads to map to the ‘top’ strand vs the ‘bottom’ strand. Using the equation: ratio = (top side reads + 0.1) / (bottom side reads + 0.1). ratio must be below ‘lopsidedupper’ and above ‘lopsidedlower’ |
| lopsidedlower | see above. |
| genome String. | Starchip will look for files in the data directory bearing this genome ID. For example, genome = hg19 will cause starchip to look for and use data/hg19.abparts and data/hg19.cnvs. |
| cnvwiggle | Integer. Skip fusions with an edge within ‘cnvwiggle’ bp of a known cnv. |
| circlesize | Integer. Fusions that appear to be circular RNA (same strand, fusion splices ‘backwards’) are skipped. However, circlesize represents an upper limit for the size of filtered circular RNA. |
| refbed | String. The bed file generated earlier with gtf2bed.sh. |
| repeatbed | String. The bed file downloaded from UCSC table browser. |
| refFasta | String. A genome fasta file (preferably the one used to build the STAR index). If not the same it MUST be the same genome build and it must have the same chromosome identifiers. |
| splitscoremod | Float. Each fusion will have a confidence score generated based on the number of reads of support and the strand imbalance of that support. This score is then adjusted if the read support has a poor skew, if it’s possible it’s a read through fusions, and if the fusion sites are in repeats. |
| spanscoremod | Float. See above. |
| skewpenalty | Float. See above. |
| repeatpenalty | Float. See above. Score is modified to be score=score*(repeatspenalty^repeats) where a fusion can have 0,1, or 2 sites fall into repeat regions. |
CircRNA Parameter Files¶
| Parameter | |
|---|---|
| readsCutoff | Integer. Minimum number of reads crossing the circular RNA backsplice required. To check multiple cutoffs (eg to examine 5, 10, and 15 reads, use the following format (within quotes) “( 5 10 15 )” ) |
| minSubjectLimit | Integer. Minimum number of individuals with ‘readsCutoff’ reads required to carry forward a cRNA for analysis. |
| cpus | Integer. Number of threads to use. If a non-numeric value is given, the command nproc will be used to determine the number of threads. |
| do_Splice | true/false. Should the splices within the cRNA be detected and reported? Linear splices are searched within each cRNA in each individual. Any linear splice with >= 60% of the read count of the cRNA is considered a splice within the cRNA. Two files are then created, *.consensus with most common splice pattern, and *.allvariants with all reported splice patterns. |
| cpmCutoff | Float. Reads counts are loaded into R and log2(CountsPerMillion) is calculated using the limma package. With cpmCutoff > 0, cRNA with log2(CPM) below this value will be filtered from this analysis. |
| subjectCPMcutoff | Integer. See above. This value is the lower limit for number of individuals required to have the cRNA expressed at a value higher than cpmCutoff. |
| annotate | true/false. Should cRNA be given gene annotations? Uses refbed. |
| refbed | String. The bed file generated earlier with gtf2bed.sh. |
| refFasta | String. A genome fasta file (preferably the one used to build the STAR index). If not the same it MUST be the same genome build and it must have the same chromosome identifiers. |
| starprefix | String. If you used the star parameter –outFileNamePrefix, give that value here. E.g. if your star output has a file named “mydata_Chimeric.out.junction” then put “mydata_” for starprefix. |
| IDstepsback | Integer. Where in your pathway (position from the right) is the sample identifier. For example if your star output for sample1 is in the directory at: /path/to/sample1/star/2.4.2/output/Chimeric.out.junction Your IDstepsback is 4. Alternatively the path /path/to/star/2.4.2/sample1/Chimeric.out.junction has IDstepsback value of 1. |
| runSTAR | true/false. Should STARChip perform alignment of fastq files and realignment with circRNA genomic insertions? If true, provide fastq files, not STAR directories. |
| STARgenome | String. Path to STAR genome to align to. Only used if runSTAR is true. |
| STARreadcommand | String. Command for STAR to read fastq files. zcat for .gz, cat for .fastq, etc. |

it is he who made us, and so we belong to him.
We are the people that he takes care of;
we are like sheep that their shepherd cares for.
4 Enter the gates of his temple thanking him;
enter the courtyard of the temple singing songs to praise him!
Thank him and praise him
5 because Yahweh always does good things for us.
He faithfully loves us as he promised us,
and he is faithful.


Each Keyboard event your application and objects receive has gone through preliminary parsing by the keyboard driver. Keyboard drivers are intelligent enough to know several things about different types of keystrokes depending on the character set and the modifier keys held down.
All Keyboard events pass two sets of information: the current character as interpreted by the keyboard driver, and the actual scan code of the character pressed. This allows you to do additional parsing or to ignore any extraneous information about the keypress that may have been included by the driver.
For example, if the user presses
Ctrl-1
, the keyboard driver passes on the character "1" with a flag indicating the Ctrl key was pressed. If the user presses
Shift-1
, the keyboard driver passes on the "!" character
without
a flag indicating the Shift key is pressed (the Shift key is eaten by the keyboard driver); in this case, it also passes on the scan code of the "1" key. If the user then presses
Ctrl-Shift-1
, different keyboard drivers may pass different characters. Whether the driver passes "1" or "!," however, the scan code for the "1" key will also be passed.
The keyboard driver also understands special "extended" keypresses and "temporary accents". Some keyboard drivers may use two keystrokes to specify special characters; for example, some keyboard drivers may require the ö character to be entered as "Ctrl-q o" (this is called an extended keypress), and some may require it to be entered as two separate keys: the "o" and the umlaut (this is called a temporary accent).
In addition to the actual character and the scan code, every Keyboard event gives flags indicating the state of the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift), the state of the toggle keys (Caps Lock, Num Lock, etc.), and what type of event it is (first press, repeated press, release, or first press of an extended sequence).
Standard Keyboard events come in
MSG_META_KBD_CHAR
.
This message has the same parameters and return values as its pre-passive and post-passive counterparts,
MSG_META_PRE_PASSIVE_KBD_CHAR
and
MSG_META_POST_PASSIVE_KBD_CHAR
. The parameters are listed below:
character
flags
ShiftState
detailing the modifier keys pressed, and the low byte is a record of
CharFlags
giving information about the type of character passed. Both of these records are detailed below.
state
ToggleState
detailing the state of the toggle keys.
ToggleState
is detailed below.
Three different records of flags define the Keyboard event. The
ShiftState
record describes which modifier keys are pressed and has the following flags:
The
ToggleState
record describes which toggle keys are currently active. It has the following flags.
The
CharFlags
record contains several flags indicating whether this event is a first press, a release, a repeat press, or an extended or temporary character. Its flags are listed below.
ShiftState
key or a
ToggleState
key is being pressed along with the passed character.
A sample handler for
MSG_META_KBD_CHAR
is shown in Sample MSG_META_KBD_CHAR Handler
. It is used by a visible object that simply increments one of its instance fields each time the greater-than key (>) is pressed.
Code Display 11-1 Sample MSG_META_KBD_CHAR Handler
/* This method is used by a visible object of MyVisObjClass. It takes all * occurrences of the greater-than (>) key and increments the object's MVOCI_data * instance field, ignoring when the user holds down the key. Also, the GenView * is set to pass along key releases as well as presses; the method must also * ignore releases. * * Note that the object will only get keyboard input when it has the focus. */
/* The format of this message is * void (word character, word flags, word state) */
@method MyVisObjClass, MSG_META_KBD_CHAR {
/* First, check if the character is the one we want. */ if (character == `>') {
/* If it is, make sure the user is not holding the key down and * that this is not a release event. Check that CF_REPEAT_PRESS and * CF_RELEASE are not set in the low byte of the flags parameter. * If either is set, ignore the character and send MSG_META_FUP_KBD_CHAR * so the UI may provide default keyboard navigation. */
if ((flags & CF_REPEAT_PRESS) || (flags & CF_RELEASE)) { @call self::MSG_META_FUP_KBD_CHAR(character, flags, state); } else { /* If we get here, we know the character is what we want. Increment * the instance field and return. */
(pself->MVOCI_data)++; }
/* If the character is not a greater-than, we must send it on to the UI * with MSG_META_FUP_KBD_CHAR.

[notes] Review on Stanford Machine Learning Course
I have been signed up for this course for a long time. And since last week, I finally managed to complete it with a good score.
This course is taught by Andrew Ng, who is also the co-founder of Cousera. The content of the course spans from supervised learning to unsupervised learning, as well as some advice for the ML model improvement, special topics on pipeline setup and implementation on large scale data.
I personally feel this course is very beneficial for the beginners like me. The fun, but probably useless part is actually to understand how those well-established algorithms work. Still remember at the end of video lecture of logistic regression, I was surprised to hear Mr. Ng said, “Probably you are now better than most of the Engineers work in Silicon Valley”. I guess what he was trying to say is that some of the Engineers don’t even brother to understand the theories before they implementing the algorithms. After that I read some blogs saying, you actually don’t need a Coursera course to do machine learning, then they shown a series of screenshots of the software to implement a ML algorithm, and I feel that is just turning human into machine.
recall the gist
1. optimimzation
Optimization is a very important concept throughout this course. Prof. Ng formulate each machine learning algorithm into an optimisation problem.
2. method
Gradient descent method, which is a numerical method to search for the minimal, is used throughout the course. However Prof. Ng mentioned self-coded gradient descent is not recommended, so a more complex Matlab function fminunc is used instead. In the large-scale problem, stochastic gradient descent is used instead to get faster learning.
3. problem-defining
Each optimizaiton need to be provided with cost function (optimisation objective) and gradient function to implement gradient descent.
In ordinary linear regression, the cost function is simply the sum of square errors.
In logistic regression, the cost function is similar to linear regression except the estimation is transformed by sigmoid function to bound to interval [0,1].
While in neural networks, the cost function is similar to logistic regression but with multiple layers, so the understanding of the cost function may not be intuitive.
4. regularization
In this course, the concept of model bias-variance trade-off is highly emphasised. Regularization is added to model to give penalty for complicated model, which are either having more variables and higher coefficients. The regulariser used in this course is L2 – regularizor. The other common regularisers are AIC/BIC, lasso (L1), elastic-net (combination of L1-L2) In order to prevent overfitting, what suggested in the course is to plot the learning curve (train, test error over number of data used). If train data error is reducing while test data is not, the model is likely to have suffered overfitting. A worthwhile attempt is to increase regularisation of the model.
5. supervised learning
Supervised learning is the machine learning with labelled response, which requires some manual work of labelling.
Under the umbrella of supervised learning, there are two main categories: Classification (for discrete response) and Regression(for continuous response).
The supervised learning algorithms covered in this course:
5.1 linear regression
- cost function:
- h(x) is simple the linear function
- generally used for regression problem
5.2 logistic regression
- cost function:
] - h(x) is the sigmoid function
- generally used for binary classification problem
5.3 neural network
-
cost function:
- widely used for classification and regression problem.
- cost function assembles logistic regression, but with multiple output nodes instead of single node for logistic regression.
- forward propagation is to calculate the cost function and backward propagation is to calculate the gradient function of neural network.
- multiple hidden layers with more nodes are called deep learning, which can handle with complex problem but in the contrast is slow to train.
5.4 support vector machine
- cost function:
- new parameter C is introduced in SVM, but it is similar as lambda in other cost function, serving as regularisation factor.
- cost1 represents the cost function of logistic regression when y=1, and similarly applies for cost0
- f denotes the kernel functions. Two common kernels are linear kernel and Gaussian kernel.
- linear kernel is very similar to logistic regression in terms of both theory and performance.
- additional parameter σ2 (variance) need to be specified when using Gaussian kernel to determine the Gaussian distribution.
- features scaling is required before implement Gaussian SVM.
- when # of features » # of data: use logistic regression/linear kernel SVM, as gaussian or high order kernel SVM tends to overfit the model
- when # of features « # of data: use logistic regression/linear SVM or add more features. Gaussian kernel SVM is slow to run.
- Only when # of feature is small (1-1,000) and # of data is moderate (10-10,000) , Gaussian kernel is good choice to model non-linear problem.
6. unsupervised learning
Unsupervised learning doesn’t required response to be labelled, instead the model is learning by itself to find similar or correlated data to form a cluster.
6.1 k-means
- generally used for market segmentation, clustering.
- k-means involves three main steps:
- randomly allocate the centroids
- assign the data to nearest centroids
- calculate the mean of each cluster and move the centroid to the newly calculated position.
- The process is iterated until the sum of distance from each data to its centroid is minimised.
6.2 principle component analysis
- PCA represent the high-dimensional data by first few eign-vectors.
- generally used for speed-up model training, reduce storage space and visualizaton (high dimensional to 2D)
- mean-normalisation and feature scaling is required before implementing PCA
- PCA compression will incur information loss, which is measured by the variance retrained.
- either percentage of variance retrained or number of components need to be specified for PCA methods.
6.3 Anomaly Detection
- detect data that fall in the tails of Gaussian distribution.
- generally used for fraud detection in financial industrial and quality control in manufacturing.
- the general procedure is:
- choose the features
- fit to gaussian distribution parameters
- calculate the probability p(x), compare with threshold value.
- large number of negative data compared with very few positive data. precision/recall are no longer good metrics to evaluate model performance, F-score could be used instead. (F score is 2 * precision*recall/(recall+precision)))
- need to examine non-gaussian feature to be transformed to normal-like feature.
- independence of features is assumed for independent gaussian anomaly detection, while multivariate gaussian model is suitable for correlated features, which is much slower to run.

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I was hoping there was some technique I wasn't
aware of used in constraint satisfaction systems.
r is small in my system. In fact just having something for r=3 would be
a big deal. It has to be very fast though as this would be a prune.
I am familiar with integer programming but I thought using something
like glpk would be too slow.
Neill.

The problem of data synchronization is indeed purely technical with no direct relation to the business logic. Still, data sync becomes an issue in a complex web app. It is still a major challenge to implement real-time sync, intermittent connectivity support and caching. Very soon, you will find yourself on the toughest pages of a CS textbook (see AP of CAP).
Our vision is to make distributed collaborative apps with the same ease we did good old local MVC apps. We achieve that by enhancing the classic MVC architecture with Replicated Model (M+VC) that embeds all the synchronization/caching magic. Once we isolate all the replication inside the model, the rest of the MVC loop may make no distinction in processing either local or remote events. Consequently, by defining both presentation and logic over a local replica of the model we achieve perfect compartmentalization. The transition from MVC+API to M+VC is somewhat comparable to a typical jQuery → Backbone transition in regard to the degree it sorts things out. Instead of endlessly juggling caches, local copies, APIs calls and db accesses, developers may now concentrate on logic and presentation.
Well, but teaching the model to replicate and synchronize "on its own" is a major challenge. Indeed, replicas must be able to function semi-autonomously, as any locking or blocking nixes both usability and performance in a distributed system. Mathematically, the most bulletproof approach to the problem was Commutative Replicated Data Types (CRDT). The CRDT theory is a dramatic improvement on Operational Transformation in handling concurrent changes in near-real-time systems. CRDT tolerates divergence of replicas and varying operation orders, aiming to reconciliate changes eventually, once all the writes spread to all the replicas. CRDT is fundamentally asynchronous, survives intermittent connectivity and perfectly matches reactive architectures.
Our other goal is a smooth scaling path. If both logic and presentation are neatly compartmentalized, then deployment options may vary without much of disruption. That "deployment" stage slows down development way too often! A developer should be able to start developing an app using Chrome as an IDE and local storage as a backend, then switch to SaaS and later on to a separate backend cluster. That should not be a one-way road: the ability to debug a large app piece by piece locally is priceless!
Again, our method is to orthogonalize data delivery, logic and presentation: define the logic over a local replica, save and sync the replica in the background. This Replicated Model approach is like Dropbox for your objects.
On the engineering side, our mission was to design a minimal CRDT basis to implement a lightweight Backbone-like framework on top of it. Swarm employs a pure op-based flavor of CRDT, where an object is essentially a stream of mutation events (ops). Based on those partially ordered Lamport-timestamped operation logs, Swarm implements CRDT data types. Swarm operations are represented as key-value pairs where the key is a "specifier", a compound id consisting of class, object id, Lamport timestamp and operation name. The value is arbitrary JSON. All the operation routing, ordering, storage and application is based on specifiers.
Speaking of Swarm API, the best option at this moment is to learn by example and by reading the code. Swarm implements M of MVC, so key classes are:
- Model is a Backbone-like synced JavaScript object (extends Syncable).
- Set is the Swarm primary collection type (extends Syncable). Differently from Backbone, that is not an array, because arrays behave poorly under concurrent edits. Still, a Set can be sorted.
- Syncable is an abstract base class that implements most of op(log) related logic. A Syncable is an abstract object that is "synced". Syncables have a number of hidden fields, _version and _id being the most important. The _oplog field contains some of the applied operations; which and how many depends on implementation (e.g. see log compaction discussion by Kreps).
- Host is (practically) a user session, and (formally) a partial replica of a dataset. Normally, a Host has some Storage and one or more Pipes to other Hosts.
- Storage is (formally) a replica that does not implement the logic. Practically, that is some storage :) Normally, Storage implementations use some dual state+log scheme to persist replicas. This particular example implementation flushes object state snapshots to separate files (periodically) while streaming all operations to a single log file (in real time).
- Pipe is a connection to a remote Host backed by a standard node.js-compatible Stream. Pipes and Streams are mostly used internally. An average developer is supposed to simply use URIs.
Swarm works well offline and under intermittent
connectivity; it may cache data and resync it later,
incuding the case of browser restart.

bool is_writable ( string $filename )
Returns TRUE if the filename exists and is writable. The filename argument may be a directory name allowing you to check if a directory is writable. Keep in mind that PHP may be accessing the file as the user id that the web server runs as (often 'nobody'). Safe mode limitations are not taken into account.
Returns TRUE if the filename exists and is writable.
